Yes, and the fact that Fury didn't raise ANY red flags when Lust said that, is weird, cuz Fury still remembers killing Envy... in the VERY beginning??? Like did you get amnesia, Fury? What's up.

@@copperdaylight Dark Prince gave this power to Lust, you can clearly see it through the lines when he talk. And council is corrupt, they no longer represent balance, as Lord of Hollows said, they reduced themselves to policing angels and demons, while having no interest in humans at all, which means all they want is power. And if you follow DS1 storyline carefully, you should know that it was council that send War on Earth and the same council framed him later. It was all revealed at the Tree. This is where he decided that his service to council is over. No doubt 4 horsemen will destroy the council later for the sake of balance. And Fury have a key for it (Lord of Hollow's talisman).
It’s important to note that during Darksiders 3, the Well of Souls is not yet claimed by The Destroyer. The Well is integral for both forces of heaven and hell as their souls are sent to the Well and their essence reincarnated. This is why they goto the Lord of Hollows, because he is the only being who can break that cycle. In Darksiders 2, when Death goes to Earth, it is explained that once the Destroyer acquired the Well and had his tower completed - Hell took charge of life and death and thus the angels lost the ability to reincarnate. The Hellguard (lead by Uriel) we’re being hunted and systematically wiped one by one as the legions of Hell grew while those Angelic were fading. Darksiders 2’s Belial DLC also I think ties into Darksiders 3, a human claims to Death that he sold out his compatriots to Belial in hopes of being spared. I think the human’s former caravan are those of Haven.
Death had also not completed his journey so the Nephilim have not yet been resurrected like Lilith (seen at the end of Darksiders 3 post credits) suggested to Death. It’s why in the post credits of Darksiders 2, Lucifer attacks Lilith.
Another great Darksiders Lore vid! Just finished the game for the first time myself a couple days ago... liked it a lot. Story is a bit weak but the game overall was a good entry in the franchise (especially considering the circumstances).
The foreshadowing that Jones was Strife (or at least something not human) was there but very subtle such as he always refers to humans as "them"; somehow knows about the Balance; and somehow knows what a Maker is.
You're lieng to yourself. Just like how you think black panther and captain marvel were good. They weren't. Neither was this game. It is utter trash, design and story wise. Full of gimics and cliche plots that were left unsolved and uninspiring for a 4th game. It's a disgrace to even call this anything more than a failed picture book. Terrible game. Terrible you.
@@jerrysmith8326 Black Panther and Captain Marvel were pulled down by today's political climate. I don't see what shit phase MCU movies have to do with Darksiders though. This game was very well made. It made up for its smaller budget by implementing tremendous story and even further story potential. I know everyone will hate me for this, but narratively speaking this game shits all over the newest God of War for instance. That game literally consisted of pure happenstance, which is a terrible tool for writing. This game was pushed forward by multiple plotting entities on all sides, just as the first and second were. While D2 will likely always remain the best, D3 is a welcome addition if only for its story, and there was much more to enjoy about it. I'll never forget Strife's reveal.
That was the moment I realized Fury wasn't as much of an ass as I thought. Even she realized that was pure flattery and that her brothers would never kneel to her.
Yooo, when I played the game, Abraxis was mentionned once by the Lord of Hollows, then I totally forgot about him and never heard of him after, I didn't even encounter him.
kradrol it’s not really that far out of the way. He’s a little bit before the first tornado encounter in the scar but I found him by accident by just exploring. If your ONLY following the compass, then yes you will skip him.
I’m upset that didnt get to go back to fight him afterward. It’s a mandatory replay just fight him. At least in DSII, you could restart on the same file so you were playing through having officially beaten the game. Now, I’m just wondering. I doubt I’ll play through it again any time soon.
In my first playthrough I had no idea I would not get forcibly pulled to the Lord of Hollows again for the last time. He pulls you in every single time except for the last one... I feel that was a silly design choice by the devs. So sadly I missed the true endings my first playthrough (going to fix it on my second but still think it was a poor decision as not everyone wants to play twice).
@@doublehit9165 - No, it is simply becasue it is a somewhat hidden and non-necessary mission. Also I meant him pulling her to him...not forcing her away. You are not supposed to fight him but in either case he will still go through his "Becoming"... also his becoming is not a weakened state but rather his final state after collecting power over the eons from consuming souls.
Wait wait wait...the son of a hammer Ulthane was involved in the conspiracy that bamboozled war in the first place! The turn coat bastard better have his come-up-ins...humanity does not forgive. Humanity does not forget!
I enjoyed the game alot Notice how at 3:30 there is foreshadowing, the light while she is sucking in Envy is white Where as for other sins its green , so it was an illusion foretold What do you think where Strife adventures will fit in timeline? Parallel or after DS3?
Gizelbelcoot probably after DS3 and just before 1 and 2. They seem to want to explain how War acquires Mercy and how Death attains Redemption (Strife’s pistols). I can only hope that we get a glimpse of Lucifer finally if not seeing a new battle with Lilith.
I suspected the warcher from the moment Fury took "Envy". The watcher was entranced with the talisman and as Lust lay dying she spoke but was looking at the Watcher the whole time.
I wonder out of all those who said Fury is an awful lead and has no character, depth or storyline, how many of them actually played the game in it's entirety. I'm pretty sure around after she killed the 4th or 5th sin and then when she confronted Lord of Hollows, I think the switch really flipped in her mind and her character growth has been immense since then. Even when she snapped out of the illusion with the other horseman, and just for her to say 'YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE MADE THEM KNEEL' shows you that behind all the loud and brash facade, she does respect and care for her brothers. Furthermore, just the whole final battles and scenes alone, she's completely changed and grown. To say Darksiders 3 lacks in storyline and character development is a bit harsh in my opinion! Fury's really grown on a lot of people I think. I also think in terms of combat system, it is that way too isn't it? As you get more hollows.
He is referred to as the dark one, the prince of lies, the dark prince etc and lilth said on darksiders 2 to death she is drawn to power and yes samael is the 2nd most powerful demon who is the 1st? Lucifer and the creator is god.
I had no high expectations for Darksiders 3 since alot of game magazines bashed it pretty hard but after i played it myself i can now say that this game is in my opinion the best of the franchise so far.
.... There was no story, her character arc was forced, and the combat is mediocre. There was nothing new to learn in any meaningful way. Maybe the hollowed one shows up in a future game. And that relic does something cool.
Around the net it seems they have to sell 100K copies for the game to be considered successful. Apparently they sold 71K copies just on PC, just on Steam, during 1 week. I think Darksiders 4 is already greenlit.
Confirmed now that they're looking into making a fourth. Good thing is that considering they already have the engine, a similar budget would lead to a far greater production quality game. If they maintain the same inspiration and motivation that they had for D3, then D4 will be a masterpiece!
Fury’s journey and growth throughout the game made me appreciate it even more. She went from being arrogant and believing herself entitled to lead the Horsemen, into a more humble and courageous individual towards the end. She gets beaten, bruised and broken only to have to rely on the “feeble” Humans to pick herself up again; “Humanity are in need of a protector. And you are in need of a new purpose. Am I wrong?”
I spared both Abraxis and the Lord of Hollows. As such I didn't see Lilith's reaction to the alternate angry Lucifer. That was funny as hell lol! (no pun intended) (P.S. If the Lord of Hollows is the Lord of Hollows, is he your lord also Ashen Hollow? A question for the philosophers.)
I know people think the Heroes journey and the Heroine’s journey are divided narratives, but to that I say… the Heroic Path is walked by many and begins with just a first step.
Fury and Strife should have been Famine and Pestilence. Pestilence could keep the same design as Strife just add a little green and rot, and give him a poison damage overtime gameplay Famine could probably somehow keep the same design as Fury, just make her look super hungry. Then have her gameplay revolve around life steal
I’m still trying to figure out what the Tempest was and why it said “ Thank You.” This game was so fun the bosses had great designs and hollows all had distinct feels.
Considering that "Fury" isn't even a set in stone horsemen(only War and Death are the same in all variations while both Strife and Fury are more commonly called Pestilence and Famine... but I understand that Strife and Fury sound and work better as characters for the game and comic) never did make a lot of sense for "Fury" to be leading the Horsemen(even if it was mostly just attempts to stroke her ego and make her play ball with someone's plan). But overall not a bad game. Liked how it tied into the first one. The Sins were interesting as was her self reflection for each Sin. And very much raising my expectations we will be seeing game 4 and Strife very soon.
they have to do atleast 4 games since there's 4 horsemen and if they did make a 5th one id reckon it would be all 4 horsemen together and each chapter u play as which ever horsemen the chapter belongs too or maybe it will have 4 campaigns were u play as all 4 horsemen each
I think that the item that the lord of the hollows gave to fury is the "human power seals" which contains a power similar to nephilim race who belongs to human race and when they were ready and the seal vroken they could acquire those power and figt for a place in the balance.
I wonder how they will tackle strife’s game like if it will be a third person shooter, FPS or if it will keep similar combat to the other games but focus more on ranged attacks that you don’t have to aim only lock on with
Why am i here you wonder? Well i had just beaten lust and was sweeping through past areas to find any secrets. Teleporting to a new area only to find me falling through the map and dying. Once i respawned i realized my hair wasn't glowing red so i clicked the corresponding buttons to get my fire back... But no response tried the others nothing. Checked my inventory to find nothing no items no weapons nothing. I was even missing key items such as the human transport and the sin container. Game breaking glitch...
I like both war and death. Wars abyssal armor looks better compared to death. Darksiders 2 how ever still remains the better game of the 3. The looting system was a bonus imo. Hope darksiders 4 will have loot systems as well. Since i did not like not being able to change armor sets like darksiders 2 in 3. Also builds. Necromancer in darksiders 2 is fun.
I am really confused about one thing. Why would the council themselves release the seven deadly sins, and make Envy Fury's watcher? What was their plan? Did Envy kill the watcher and take her place in secrecy? And if that did happen how on earth did Fury (or we) not see it? Or maybe the council stroke a deal with Envy to see to the fact that Fury kills the sins and then Envy can kill Fury to take the power of all other sins as she did (at least thought she did), but the power was not enough for her. It was kinda stupid nonetheless. Another thing, when Envy "takes the power of Fury" what did she take exactly? because when they fight, it seemed like Fury had everything the same.
Envy was in disguise all the time, but the council knows she was she from the start, and she decide to follow fury on their own. The plan was to keep fury imprisoned on earth to deal with angels demons and deadly sins until she will be killed. Thats why they killed her horse Rampage. When envy used the seal to absorb fury powers it had to weaken her a lot absorbing the power of her hollows so if envy had used it 5 times in a row she will had died and not only weakened. Nad besides to imprison her soul her body must be dead first.
I just wish the plot wasn't so trite. Countless thousands of years and no basic life lessons until now? But that art style doesn't exactly scream subtle character focus so I suppose it fits. Really satisfying to play despite the plot inadequacies.
Death's sacrifice happened at the same time as War's battle against the Destroyer, meaning the ending of Darksiders 3 is set before the ending of either.
Ok, that is not the cutscene I got in the end. Did they recently change it!?!?! And here's a question no one seems to ask.. What the fuck was that tornado, and who was inside it, or was it? The game leaves more questions than answers. If they don't make a 4th game, then they do not deserve praise for this one :(
GoDz Alchemic that ending is what you get when you kill Abraxis and spare the Lord of Hollows. If you choose to side with Abraxis, Lucifer praises Lilith instead.
The question that confused me was this; of this game takes place during wars imprisonment, where the hell was he during the fight at the end with envy? He's supposed to be chained up.
I can reply to whatever I want. Secondly I did play the first game and this one specifically takes place before war is released. There was no mention of his freedom or it would be more likely for fury to encounter him considering they both went to earth. It isnt that this video doesnt explained that, it's that the game didnt do a good job of pointing this out.
Just had a question, I hope someone knows that! It is revealed that the Destroyer arrives at the end of DS3, and later on destroys Earth, therefore the events of DS1 occur afterwards. But does DS2 happen before or after that? My logic is that Death has either revived the humans from total annihilation after the events of DS1 or the humans that Fury saves are literally the only ones remaining after Death has sacrificed himself? And also, does that mean that Death (and even perhaps Strife) are dead? Either way, the story has been more than worthy of a DS4. Personally I love all of them, but War and his one liners is my absolute favourite. And DS1's ending still gives me the chills.
Never understood that. How does he start another apocalypse if this is 100 years after the apocalypse and humanity is near gone. I know death saved humanity, but how is it _another_ apocalypse? I think he just summoned them.
Thank you for this vid, I got this game via PS plus but the game is so buggy, I just gave up on it but I love that darksider story so wanted to know how part 3 ended
I won't lie, even though Death is still my favourite of the Horseman, I'm a huge fan of how Fury develops throughout the game.

And council is corrupt, they no longer represent balance, as Lord of Hollows said, they reduced themselves to policing angels and demons, while having no interest in humans at all, which means all they want is power. And if you follow DS1 storyline carefully, you should know that it was council that send War on Earth and the same council framed him later. It was all revealed at the Tree. This is where he decided that his service to council is over. No doubt 4 horsemen will destroy the council later for the sake of balance. And Fury have a key for it (Lord of Hollow's talisman).
Finally. I was waiting for this. Thanks for the video.
It’s important to note that during Darksiders 3, the Well of Souls is not yet claimed by The Destroyer. The Well is integral for both forces of heaven and hell as their souls are sent to the Well and their essence reincarnated. This is why they goto the Lord of Hollows, because he is the only being who can break that cycle.
In Darksiders 2, when Death goes to Earth, it is explained that once the Destroyer acquired the Well and had his tower completed - Hell took charge of life and death and thus the angels lost the ability to reincarnate. The Hellguard (lead by Uriel) we’re being hunted and systematically wiped one by one as the legions of Hell grew while those Angelic were fading.
Darksiders 2’s Belial DLC also I think ties into Darksiders 3, a human claims to Death that he sold out his compatriots to Belial in hopes of being spared. I think the human’s former caravan are those of Haven.
Death had also not completed his journey so the Nephilim have not yet been resurrected like Lilith (seen at the end of Darksiders 3 post credits) suggested to Death. It’s why in the post credits of Darksiders 2, Lucifer attacks Lilith.
@@sugartoothYT I like to think it is the same caravan.
Another great Darksiders Lore vid!
Just finished the game for the first time myself a couple days ago... liked it a lot. Story is a bit weak but the game overall was a good entry in the franchise (especially considering the circumstances).
Anyone else super excited to play as strife???
The foreshadowing that Jones was Strife (or at least something not human) was there but very subtle such as he always refers to humans as "them"; somehow knows about the Balance; and somehow knows what a Maker is.
I love the lore of these games and the characters are so interesting!
"Fury launches her assault on Lust..."
Oh, ho ho ho... Ill take your advice on not searching it...
I did, but nothing strange appeared. Did I miss something?
I didn't get anything weird either
Darksiders 3 fuking rocks
You're lieng to yourself. Just like how you think black panther and captain marvel were good. They weren't. Neither was this game. It is utter trash, design and story wise. Full of gimics and cliche plots that were left unsolved and uninspiring for a 4th game. It's a disgrace to even call this anything more than a failed picture book. Terrible game. Terrible you.
@@jerrysmith8326 really dude? Let him like what he like
@@jerrysmith8326 Black Panther and Captain Marvel were pulled down by today's political climate. I don't see what shit phase MCU movies have to do with Darksiders though. This game was very well made. It made up for its smaller budget by implementing tremendous story and even further story potential.
I know everyone will hate me for this, but narratively speaking this game shits all over the newest God of War for instance. That game literally consisted of pure happenstance, which is a terrible tool for writing. This game was pushed forward by multiple plotting entities on all sides, just as the first and second were. While D2 will likely always remain the best, D3 is a welcome addition if only for its story, and there was much more to enjoy about it. I'll never forget Strife's reveal.
@@TheStraightestWhitest lollllllll you're fucking cooked mate. Completely cooooooooked. But I know you're just trolling so what ever enjoy your day
jerry Smith you mad because he likes the game ? Wtf this world has come too?
"You should not have made them kneel!!!"
That was the moment I realized Fury wasn't as much of an ass as I thought. Even she realized that was pure flattery and that her brothers would never kneel to her.
i love fury she's so awesome
Yooo, when I played the game, Abraxis was mentionned once by the Lord of Hollows, then I totally forgot about him and never heard of him after, I didn't even encounter him.
yeah. you have to go out of your way to find him.
To be honest I didn't even realise there were different endings. Usually, games tell you that or they hint at it
kradrol it’s not really that far out of the way. He’s a little bit before the first tornado encounter in the scar but I found him by accident by just exploring. If your ONLY following the compass, then yes you will skip him.
@@Death565656 I didn't say it was far out of the way. just that it's an option fight you have to go out of your way to get to.
I’m upset that didnt get to go back to fight him afterward. It’s a mandatory replay just fight him. At least in DSII, you could restart on the same file so you were playing through having officially beaten the game. Now, I’m just wondering. I doubt I’ll play through it again any time soon.
In my first playthrough I had no idea I would not get forcibly pulled to the Lord of Hollows again for the last time. He pulls you in every single time except for the last one... I feel that was a silly design choice by the devs. So sadly I missed the true endings my first playthrough (going to fix it on my second but still think it was a poor decision as not everyone wants to play twice).
Thats because every time the lords gave fury some of his power he weakens himself and the last time he was too weak to force her to go away.
@@doublehit9165 - No, it is simply becasue it is a somewhat hidden and non-necessary mission. Also I meant him pulling her to him...not forcing her away. You are not supposed to fight him but in either case he will still go through his "Becoming"... also his becoming is not a weakened state but rather his final state after collecting power over the eons from consuming souls.
Wait wait wait...the son of a hammer Ulthane was involved in the conspiracy that bamboozled war in the first place! The turn coat bastard better have his come-up-ins...humanity does not forgive. Humanity does not forget!
I enjoyed the game alot
Notice how at 3:30 there is foreshadowing, the light while she is sucking in Envy is white
Where as for other sins its green , so it was an illusion foretold
What do you think where Strife adventures will fit in timeline? Parallel or after DS3?
Gizelbelcoot probably after DS3 and just before 1 and 2. They seem to want to explain how War acquires Mercy and how Death attains Redemption (Strife’s pistols). I can only hope that we get a glimpse of Lucifer finally if not seeing a new battle with Lilith.
@@FatalFist Something tells me vulgrim is demon prince guy
Your timeline sounds about right
I suspected the warcher from the moment Fury took "Envy". The watcher was entranced with the talisman and as Lust lay dying she spoke but was looking at the Watcher the whole time.
I wonder out of all those who said Fury is an awful lead and has no character, depth or storyline, how many of them actually played the game in it's entirety.
I'm pretty sure around after she killed the 4th or 5th sin and then when she confronted Lord of Hollows, I think the switch really flipped in her mind and her character growth has been immense since then. Even when she snapped out of the illusion with the other horseman, and just for her to say 'YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE MADE THEM KNEEL' shows you that behind all the loud and brash facade, she does respect and care for her brothers.
Furthermore, just the whole final battles and scenes alone, she's completely changed and grown.
To say Darksiders 3 lacks in storyline and character development is a bit harsh in my opinion! Fury's really grown on a lot of people I think. I also think in terms of combat system, it is that way too isn't it? As you get more hollows.
Last time i was this early i woke up in a planned parenthood
damn dude...
Is that Lucifer talking in the end?
Most likely!
@@TheAshenHollow nice it would be cool to see him in the future!
He is referred to as the dark one, the prince of lies, the dark prince etc and lilth said on darksiders 2 to death she is drawn to power and yes samael is the 2nd most powerful demon who is the 1st? Lucifer and the creator is god.
He is never called Lucifer or Satan... only the "Dark One" so far. But yeah, ruler of Hell.
The credits have the same voice actor for the princess of darkness and it in this game but that can only be the voice that Lilith was talking to
Pausing after the ad because I wanted to thank you for that awesome editing so I didn’t miss what you said
I'm just hyped to play strife, be interesting to see how they work his guns into gameplay.
Pretty much strife's the second to realize what happened since the first was war. Also story goes back to 1 again since 7th seal was broken then.
I had no high expectations for Darksiders 3 since alot of game magazines bashed it pretty hard but after i played it myself i can now say that this game is in my opinion the best of the franchise so far.
.... There was no story, her character arc was forced, and the combat is mediocre. There was nothing new to learn in any meaningful way.
Maybe the hollowed one shows up in a future game. And that relic does something cool.
@@sugartoothYT Because they developed about as abruptly as you just typing it. All those things did "happen". They just....happened.
Remember when the trailers got millions of views?
I loved those days
Please tell me they're making a darksiders IV with the last horsemen.
Around the net it seems they have to sell 100K copies for the game to be considered successful. Apparently they sold 71K copies just on PC, just on Steam, during 1 week. I think Darksiders 4 is already greenlit.
@@raresmacovei8382 holy fuck seriously? LOL DS5 soontmpls
Obviously
Confirmed now that they're looking into making a fourth. Good thing is that considering they already have the engine, a similar budget would lead to a far greater production quality game. If they maintain the same inspiration and motivation that they had for D3, then D4 will be a masterpiece!
trailer dropped yesterday
Darksiders4
Play as strife
Last mission include all the horsemen
With multiplayer
I love so much this franchise, i just wish for it to finish it's story properly.
There's olny ONE Lord of Hollows and that's The Ashen One
I was waiting for a cheeky "pride comes before the fall"👀
But alas!
Fury’s journey and growth throughout the game made me appreciate it even more. She went from being arrogant and believing herself entitled to lead the Horsemen, into a more humble and courageous individual towards the end. She gets beaten, bruised and broken only to have to rely on the “feeble” Humans to pick herself up again;
“Humanity are in need of a protector. And you are in need of a new purpose. Am I wrong?”
YES I've been waiting for this video
I spared both Abraxis and the Lord of Hollows. As such I didn't see Lilith's reaction to the alternate angry Lucifer. That was funny as hell lol! (no pun intended)
(P.S. If the Lord of Hollows is the Lord of Hollows, is he your lord also Ashen Hollow? A question for the philosophers.)
oh hey that's a gud one.
I didn’t even make it to Abraxis before I got to the end. Didn’t even know what he looked like until this video.
wait... that final scene means.... a fourth Darksiders!! WOO!!
I know people think the Heroes journey and the Heroine’s journey are divided narratives, but to that I say…
the Heroic Path is walked by many and begins with just a first step.
I'm heart broken, my like ticked the counter up to 421.
"You should never have made them kneel"
Posted just in time since I finished the first video
"Fury launches her assault on lust" ... LOL
Gabriel Mor I searched it and nothing. What is supposed to come up?
@@mishimamaster1845 watch 9:03
Gabriel Mor I did and I searched it
this makes wanna replay the franchise
Great video, hyped for the sequel ! ♥
The lore is interesting. Those reflecting pools were forbidden according to the Scribe.
I though ds3 will never come bcs they said the company was bankrupt but im glad they made a comeback
I love this game and it’s always been up there when it comes to anything else that they have put out!!!!!!!?? “ God bless ya all today Shalom
Fury and Strife should have been Famine and Pestilence.
Pestilence could keep the same design as Strife just add a little green and rot, and give him a poison damage overtime gameplay
Famine could probably somehow keep the same design as Fury, just make her look super hungry. Then have her gameplay revolve around life steal
Hearing him say my name over and over again is weird.
I’m still trying to figure out what the Tempest was and why it said “ Thank You.” This game was so fun the bosses had great designs and hollows all had distinct feels.
Novad selir probably the life essence of those golems from DS1 - corrupted into some kind of perpetual maelstrom.
FatalFist oh yeah I remember those golems that could explain it, i thought it was some kind of imprisoned creature.( like the chosen)
Can't wait for the next game
Heeyyyyyy I was waiting for this!!
Considering that "Fury" isn't even a set in stone horsemen(only War and Death are the same in all variations while both Strife and Fury are more commonly called Pestilence and Famine... but I understand that Strife and Fury sound and work better as characters for the game and comic) never did make a lot of sense for "Fury" to be leading the Horsemen(even if it was mostly just attempts to stroke her ego and make her play ball with someone's plan).
But overall not a bad game. Liked how it tied into the first one. The Sins were interesting as was her self reflection for each Sin. And very much raising my expectations we will be seeing game 4 and Strife very soon.
after watching this i really want dante inferno to make a comeback, although i love god of war and darksiders. dante is my favorite.
I kinda feel like Dante in that game could be the pinnacle of humanity, or something close to it.
they have to do atleast 4 games since there's 4 horsemen and if they did make a 5th one id reckon it would be all 4 horsemen together and each chapter u play as which ever horsemen the chapter belongs too or maybe it will have 4 campaigns were u play as all 4 horsemen each
Not really my type of game to play but I love the lore surrounding it
I liked this video simply because there weren’t any dislikes
I think that the item that the lord of the hollows gave to fury is the "human power seals" which contains a power similar to nephilim race who belongs to human race and when they were ready and the seal vroken they could acquire those power and figt for a place in the balance.
Thanks for this!
fury got the ol eye of Horus on her chest
Loved this game
I wonder how they will tackle strife’s game like if it will be a third person shooter, FPS or if it will keep similar combat to the other games but focus more on ranged attacks that you don’t have to aim only lock on with
Why am i here you wonder? Well i had just beaten lust and was sweeping through past areas to find any secrets. Teleporting to a new area only to find me falling through the map and dying. Once i respawned i realized my hair wasn't glowing red so i clicked the corresponding buttons to get my fire back... But no response tried the others nothing. Checked my inventory to find nothing no items no weapons nothing. I was even missing key items such as the human transport and the sin container. Game breaking glitch...
10;05 which background track do u use here
Death is still my favorite of the 4, id give fury 2nd.
I hope after the solo game for Strife they will do a game AAA with the four who take place after the end of the first !!
I like both war and death. Wars abyssal armor looks better compared to death. Darksiders 2 how ever still remains the better game of the 3. The looting system was a bonus imo. Hope darksiders 4 will have loot systems as well. Since i did not like not being able to change armor sets like darksiders 2 in 3. Also builds. Necromancer in darksiders 2 is fun.
I am really confused about one thing. Why would the council themselves release the seven deadly sins, and make Envy Fury's watcher? What was their plan? Did Envy kill the watcher and take her place in secrecy? And if that did happen how on earth did Fury (or we) not see it? Or maybe the council stroke a deal with Envy to see to the fact that Fury kills the sins and then Envy can kill Fury to take the power of all other sins as she did (at least thought she did), but the power was not enough for her. It was kinda stupid nonetheless.
Another thing, when Envy "takes the power of Fury" what did she take exactly? because when they fight, it seemed like Fury had everything the same.
Envy was in disguise all the time, but the council knows she was she from the start, and she decide to follow fury on their own. The plan was to keep fury imprisoned on earth to deal with angels demons and deadly sins until she will be killed. Thats why they killed her horse Rampage. When envy used the seal to absorb fury powers it had to weaken her a lot absorbing the power of her hollows so if envy had used it 5 times in a row she will had died and not only weakened. Nad besides to imprison her soul her body must be dead first.
we need a fourth game to show how strife fits in the overarching story
I just wish the plot wasn't so trite. Countless thousands of years and no basic life lessons until now? But that art style doesn't exactly scream subtle character focus so I suppose it fits.
Really satisfying to play despite the plot inadequacies.
Im pretty sure that all four of them are in different times and thats why all of them were summoned after war breaks the seal
Death's sacrifice happened at the same time as War's battle against the Destroyer, meaning the ending of Darksiders 3 is set before the ending of either.
@Urazz I seem to remember the Crow father saying tp Death, just as he ponder on what to do, that his brother is fighting the Destroyer.
Darksiders 2 was my fav
Ok, that is not the cutscene I got in the end.
Did they recently change it!?!?!
And here's a question no one seems to ask.. What the fuck was that tornado, and who was inside it, or was it?
The game leaves more questions than answers. If they don't make a 4th game, then they do not deserve praise for this one :(
GoDz Alchemic that ending is what you get when you kill Abraxis and spare the Lord of Hollows. If you choose to side with Abraxis, Lucifer praises Lilith instead.
Nice one 👍 thanks
I just get the Darksiders wiki when I typ that headline in my searchbar ..
Death is nowhere to be found. Damn!
nice:)
continue the good work The Ashen Hollow:)
Thank you kindly, friend! =]
Ok.......Nobody and I MEAN NOBODY F#CKS WITH THE HORSES!!!!
LMFAO My game must have glitched way the hell out because after killing Abraxis I never got that last scene with the Lord of Hollows
You have to go back to hollows yourself and talk with the Lord of hollows.
But I already know about the story of Dark So- Oh hold up.
The question that confused me was this; of this game takes place during wars imprisonment, where the hell was he during the fight at the end with envy? He's supposed to be chained up.
Yeah, perhaps he needn't be there physically at all time. It's the Charred Council, they can teleport people away.
And no, he was sent back out (play the game or watch the video before commenting) to deal with said betrayers
I can reply to whatever I want. Secondly I did play the first game and this one specifically takes place before war is released. There was no mention of his freedom or it would be more likely for fury to encounter him considering they both went to earth. It isnt that this video doesnt explained that, it's that the game didnt do a good job of pointing this out.
War is released 100 years later.
That ending changes if you kill the hollow king.
The angel lucifer was cast to rule hell for eternety until he decided to take a vacantion
😂😂😂
Just had a question, I hope someone knows that!
It is revealed that the Destroyer arrives at the end of DS3, and later on destroys Earth, therefore the events of DS1 occur afterwards. But does DS2 happen before or after that? My logic is that Death has either revived the humans from total annihilation after the events of DS1 or the humans that Fury saves are literally the only ones remaining after Death has sacrificed himself?
And also, does that mean that Death (and even perhaps Strife) are dead?
Either way, the story has been more than worthy of a DS4. Personally I love all of them, but War and his one liners is my absolute favourite. And DS1's ending still gives me the chills.
Fury is knocked from pride tower= pride comes before a fall lol (see what they did there)
Wonder if this ends with the horsemen becoming the new council
I hope Darksiders 4 will be from the perspective of Strife during the apocalypse that War started at the end of Darksiders 1.
Never understood that. How does he start another apocalypse if this is 100 years after the apocalypse and humanity is near gone. I know death saved humanity, but how is it _another_ apocalypse? I think he just summoned them.
Thank you for this vid, I got this game via PS plus but the game is so buggy, I just gave up on it but I love that darksider story so wanted to know how part 3 ended
