The most INFAMOUS mission in Armored Core
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- This mission is from the Old King route, unlocked on the second playthrough of Armored Core For Answer.
There's not much to say that isn't shown really. I think you can understand why it's an infamous mission.
I doubt Armored Core 6 is going to have you commit such blatant atrocities.

The cradles contains all of the Dark Souls fans that expected AC6 to be a souls game.
LOL
Good
So nothing of value was lost.
Fell the Cradles. All of them. Exciting, don't you think?
🎉
Old King: to 100% this game, you must commit the most heinous war crime yet.
Raven: count me in
The Raven would sign a contract in no time
I mean did you see the amount he offerd for such an "easy" mission
1 million C
@@R-XI_Sullathat’s a 100 per human life
@@TheBillylaramore like a penny per human life
@@Inuxxus you are absolutely right
Wasn't the reward 100 million credits? 1 credit for each dead person? That was the detail that got me most.
What bank is doing this, does Old King use cash?
Old King: You must kill 100 million innocent people
Raven: At that point that just a mere statistic.
Pulled a Staline there : "One life is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic."

At least if we don't consider the possibility that many corporation higher ups were chilling there.
@@ilucasz yeah but do you what to be the dog for the corporation that will stab you in the back in this game universe or be the one pulling the trigger that starts a war?
it come down to statistics in the end as this game is a morel gray zone game universe, as it no point saying you where the good guy but a gun for hire.
@@callumlamb8308 Never said it was about killing bad people, I just meant that not everybody there didn't have blood in their hands. I already pointed one perspective on why Strayed would do this on canon way (without being crazy) and why the player would be motivated to do it too. Try checking it out, it's on the comments section.
What would've made this mission harder is hearing the proggressively frightened, distraught, and hopeless words of the security force defending the Cradles. To see a few run away at the sight of you taking down the Cradles, and eat their comrades up like they're nothing compared to you.
Even worse, watching those units fall off the Cradles.
One of the easiest missions too make you feel better about yourself before you feel nothing but pain for the last mission😊
The pain just compounds permanently
I really hope we have a mission like this in AC6. This one had such a massive impact.
Yeah for sure, I still think about it often
Well.. the plot mention:
"Coral was hailed as the key to humanity's technological advancement, but instead it caused a cataclysmic event known as the Fires of Ibis, which engulfed the planet and the surrounding star system in flames and left behind a lethal contaminant"
oh man, if that really happen it'll make entire Gen 1-3 The Great Destruction, Gen 4-5 War looks like a picnic
We're talking about entire planet system exterminatus here
@@blackmark7165 hell fucking yeah that's metal
Imagine if the genocide ending has us literally pull an Ideon and just destroy the entire universe with runaway Coral reaction.
@@zchen27hey just for curiosity inst coral also a drug used by AC pilots
To add I mean in AC 6
"I doubt Armored Core 6 is gonna have you commit blatant attrocities"
Here from the end of my 2nd playthrough with very good news
👀
I can safely say 621 would definitely take a job like this without much moral compromise
RLF, V.VI Swinburne, Dafeng Pilot trainee, little ziyi and PCA and Ayre's kind:
The Fires of Raven
I adore this mission because it’s one of the more easy missions but the *weight* makes it one of the hardest.
(Hardest mission comes after💀)
Crackpot Story Analysis
Also I love the fact Fans theorize why our Protagonist would do something like that, but I feel this is all directed at the player controlling him, as if saying: “Hey, you know the outcomes from each side… why not just ruin it all?” And I love the idea of the motivation to do this coming from the player who already saw the other endings. We and the MC both are sick of the corporations and this mission captures it without a single word from the protagonist.
That's the best headcanon for me!
To my memory linxs can see part way into the future during fights to keep up with there next, and it has a tendency to drive them psycho or at least mentally unstable, so that may actually function decently as the in universe reason, see where both paths lead and just decide to burn it all
@@Shadow-swordwhat kinda like the zero system thats in the gundam wing zero?
Ah yes the 100 millions, he was talking about the payment right? RIGHT!!!? I MEAN MONEY PAYMENT, RIGHTTTTT!!?
right...
A credit for each person...
Was it worth it?
Was it ever worth it?
For what purpose did it make you?
imagine what if someone had added the sounds of the craddle's inhabitants screaming for help or mercy from the player.
Then those lives weren't taken easily anymore.
The music that plays over this is Remember, and I always felt like the choral singing Amen amen are the souls of the people here
@@briansilva3765 The music is to symbolize who you are, a being so terrifying that everyone just thinks it's all but a fantasy to live with such a scary thing. And it tells you that you are the scariest thing to ever live.

Said it before, and I'll say it again. They should've had better security.
True XD
In a way ORCA’s mission became true in AC6 with all the satellites taken out so humans could make way to space, which is how they got to Rubicon. In AC5/ACVD you can see the destroyed cradles on the polluted earth, which means no matter which ending is true in AC4/ACFA the cradles would eventually be destroyed and humans would make way to space.
Nice idea but its been confirmed that VI is a new era again, just like IV not being connected to III/LA
@@antarescypher2551I swear the last raven becomes Anatolia's Mercenary evidenced by being called raven in ac4
@@TheShamarski Raven just refers to AC pilots. Normals in the 4/fa/5/vd timeline are AC's and so their pilots are ravens. A few of the other lynx are also former ravens too if you look at their bio's.
AC pilots in 5th gen aren't called Ravens.
V's protag was labeled "Mr. Dark Raven" by Chief, and is thr only one to have the title "Raven".
@@AnatoliasAce3341 Yesnt, he is the only one who says it but due to VD connecting V to FA it still means that the pilots are ravens as that is the term used for all AC pilots who dont pilot NEXT's.
It is always War Crimes™ and fun with Armored Core!
'I doubt AC6 is going to have you commit such blatant atrocities.'
First ending is literally setting the whole gods damned planet on fire.
Did not disappoint
And now it's double genocide!
Im pretty sure that MULTIPLE STAR SYSTEMS ARE DESTROYED
Weird…I always interpreted this song as someone picking up the pieces of a broken world and finally fixing things like in armored core the corporations having less control and actually fixing the planet along with everyone else…civilians, employees, ravens.
Weapons like the arms fort mother will being used to help instead of destroy.
But you you gave this song a new meaning with this video…a sad one but an interesting one nonetheless.
For me it gives off sad melancholy and just going through the motions kind of vibe into an introspective awakening towards the end!
Wait, is this original soundtrack? Not added? Whew, that makes it only infinitely better.
@@Sheynification I replaced the track that plays in this mission, this is an Armored Core OST but not from this moment
Wait, what song from AC is this?
Edit: please stop liking the comment
@@kohisshitpostadventure5934 we still have a long way to go
I love how seemingly the game audio gets more quiet and the music louder as you commit the worst act in humanity's history while those questions pop up. What's the name of the song?
I tried editing it to give it some oomph like that, glad you liked it.
AC Anniversary - We still have a long way to go
@@SilverGlintany chance you could upload it?
One thing is for sure. AC has always shown that it is easier to take life than preserve it. Yet life will persist, and the remnant will forge ahead no matter the cost.
OLD KING TRUE PROTAGONIST OF ACFA
Wake the fuck up, Lynx, we have a fucking planet to burn.
Honestly, this one was easy…. But hard at the same time. Thank god they didn’t put the screams of the people in it.
The easiest mission with the most deaths, oh how ironic , it is as if the humanity last hope doesn’t even mount a single defence system to counter our attack. It was fun listening to oldking counting the casualty, i wish there was more dialogue and the scream of the people on the cradles to flush out more of our destruction and madness
The battle Vs. all of the League’s top Lynxes was dope. Gotta play it smart with your build/weapon choices and ammo to take them all out.
Each cradle hold 8.160.000 people, you need atleast 13 to get that 100.000.000
Maybe they destroy another cradle somewhere else, or it just the game limitation
game limitation
I have no idea how one of those things can fit 20 million people inside them tbh. They don't really seem that large.
I think the scale isn't very accurate! I've seen some concept artwork somewhere detailing this, and it makes sense! These are supposed to be really huge
Hardware limitation, i guess
Hardware limitations, they are shown to be much bigger
@@SilverGlintscale looks about right to me. Let's not forget how big the mech suit is
Maybe it's something like clone embryos or something like that? Not full grown humans.
I hope such kinda mission is there in AC6 this is absolutely mad insane, and DARK
*Laughs in fires of raven*
@@therandomlaniusedward2140 played through the game literally 4 times now, understandable
and i think at that time ac6 did not release back then or i was probably just in around chapter 2 XD
also holy shit this game was soooo peak man, easily top 3 fromsoftware games ever!!!! most underrated as well hope for an armored core 6 dlc or sequel
*Coughs *RUSTY*, *Ayre*- , although the true ending is soooo epic i think it will lead to some sequel in the end
This really is one of the most evil endings possible in any video game. The only change your want in humanity is for it to end.
They had there chance. Time for the doggos to take over 🐕
That's not how it works. At all. Keeping the Cradles afloat is killing the surface environment. This ending is the most concrete solution to humanity's problems at that point. It is also the true ending to the game taking into account the lore of ACV
@fokjohnpainkiller But the Corporation's got a base in space.
@@AnatoliasAce3341 if somehow AC universe is all connected, They got what they deserved I guess. (Ac2's government and PCA)
Also it's confirmed the ORCA ending is canon.
People really gotta stop assuming the Destruction ending is what happened when they see the Cradles, and look at other stuff.
Counting With The Old King is Fun!
Best AC game. Really hope AC6 tops this one.
Story-wise, looks like it will be the best.
Gameplay-wise, ehh. It falls short. I hesitate to call it AC
@acezero8132 i know what you mean but im reserving judgement until i play it. We might be pleasantly suprised.
I think AC4FA is still my favorite. Piloting the mech in this game feels a lil less precise. Still a welcome addition to the series.
The song has me dead
What was the na!e of that song?
You know, as horrible as this mission is, the lore behind it opens up an even darker can of worms.
At this point in time, all the rampant corporate warfare has rendered the planet inhospitable and these Cradles more or less house the elite wealthy enough to buy their way out of the hellhole they helped create, leaving the rest of humanity to die. Even if you have the common sense to realize all-out genocide is NOT the answer to the problem, consider this little detail:
One of the leading factions is ORCA, a terrorist group that also aims to bring down the Cradles but unlike Old King -- the lunatic paying you for this mission -- they are doing this in the hope of breaking the corporations' hold on humanity and help them migrate into space, whereas Old King is just a genocidal fuckhead with no grander intentions beyond all-out slaughter. Interestingly enough, their plan is more or less identical to what Armored Core 4's main villain tried to do, except he was in a much more advantageous position and he wanted to go the extra mile by eradicating all the corporations first to make absolutely sure his plan went off without a hitch. For stopping him and saving their collective asses, the corporations repaid you by flattening your colony and blackmailing one of your friends into killing you, who was set to die even if he had succeeded. And then your main character from that game dies here, in a mission where he defends his new colony from the very same corporations that double-crossed him before.
Basically, at this particular juncture the corporations are no longer the lesser evil to anything anymore and these Cradles and the millions of people within are nothing more than meatshields for them to worm their way out of accountability for poisoning the entire planet.
You know a game is dark when becoming Hitler X 10 and killing all of humanity not only proves to be the only permanent solution to the problem caused by the corporations, but is also more or less a logical conclusion to humanity's plight in the form of a collective mercy kill.
Fuck, that got dark...
Beautifully put, AC4s narrative is super underrated and probably one of my favorites in the series
Humanity isn't dead, all 3 endings lead to Omer winning, basically. Omer takes the anti-satellite guns and opens up space, still only their chosen people fucks off.
Billions must die!
The west has fallen
The cradles has fallen
What Matias Torres thought was gonna happen if he didnt bring salvation.
(Ace Combat 7 DLC mission meme)
Matias Torres didn't had a NEXT... as well as a mute psychopath on his side.
Heck, Matias and oldking could get well!!
Finished my first ac game last night and it was 3 and I thought that was messed up lolol
It gets a bit more messed ahah
It will actually be better if they have the budget to create voice clips of people panic in the cradle while announcing evacuation
I loved this mission!! We dont get evil endings like this enough anymore !!
Play AC6, you'll see.

@@therandomlaniusedward2140
Wake the fuck up, Lynx, we have a fucking planet to burn.
Good. 20 million. - Old King -
We still have a long way to go...
Your options in 4A are some of the most FromSoft choices ever:
Side with the League, reject responsibility for the way things are, and defend the status quo
Side with ORCA, take responsibility for the future, and risk making things worse for a time in exchange for the possibility of actual change and growth
Or side with Old King, declare your absolute conviction that the world is unfixable, and become an absolute monster.
I mean raven did something similar with the strider
Honestly I want a remake just so everything can be absolutely massive. And so they use more mechanics like titanfall 1 (first person, human sized npc's, switching sizes) to show off the scale.
Also do you plan on doing a deep video like this for the final mission?
I'm not sure because I already did one where it was the complete opposite, goofy as all hell ahha but I'll see
You say AC6 won't have something like this but... what if it does? Folks like to debate about Dark Souls and letting the flame die and all that stuff but what if just what if... you end the lives of billions by your hand alone? And a cackling maniac will be shouting in your ear "TEN BILLION DEAD, RAVEN!" Now how will the lore channels debate that one, eh? 621 is just a crippled corpse after all, what is it worth it to 621 by ending just a 'few' more lives?
Can't say that Strayed didn't have the motivation to do this, since none side was willing to solve their situation and they were just another stone on their path in many perspectives. It's the most vile and heinous crime possible, don't get me wrong, but the third ending was supposed to be Strayed unleashing all of it's fury upon those that turned Earth on a barren desert.
A different yet interesting interpretation for sure
Is that the old king humming along with the music in the background at certain points?
Yes it is!
@@SilverGlint very sick, genuinely hope armored core 6 has some stuff like this
"I doubt Armored Core 6 is going to have you commit such blatant atrocities."
Well... this videos description aged like milk lmfao. Every ending is an atrocity in some capacity.
So in this route where you kill everyone
has you the character basically have cause all of humanity to go extinct?
It's a bit more complicated but short answer yes!
Don't worry,we just kill the rich
Humanity doesn't go extinct.
@@AnatoliasAce3341 only in that king route iirc
@@exile_kzk humanity goes extinct in the league route, all the rich people go to the stars in the ORCA route, and humanity is probably terrorized in the Old King route
this is worse than the colony drop in Mobile Suit Gundam
"I doubt Armored Core 6 is going to have you commit such blatant atrocities."
Yeah... yeah...
Well to be fair it's a bit more horrifying than to instantly die in a blaze, to plunge down to the surface from kms above whilst not knowing why anything is going to shit is cruel.
You do this in game, not by playing out a cutscene so I still think this goes harder!
"good, you came"
I did :3

What I dont get
Its said the destruction ending is unlocked with the 3rd gameplay
Then why did I had it available in my second were i was doing my orca run
It might had been bc I rushed trough the order matches
Yeah you're actually right, It's unlocked by beating Old King on the second playthrough! Good catch.
@@SilverGlint wait
Is it even possible to do orca early?
For them to offer you need defend line ark
For that you need defend megalis
And for that you need to do the Rescue GA Transport and the following missions if I remember right
If it would work there would then that mean that the 1st ending
Some say its canon bc its the 1st ending
