Fear and Hunger - A Guide to Hope in the Heart of Darkness

[Music] welcome back everyone and welcome to the dungeons of fear and hunger o cut that out fear and hunger is a 2018 torture Sim brought to you by the country that basically has those as a recognized National export at this point look their former prime minister was set to La as a catg go online like I think this is just what having 2 hours of daylight does to people that aside the game did initially fly under the radar outside of RPG circles but much like plague economic depression and Metal Gear Rising it's been making somewhat of a comeback in the 2020s it also represents everything I usually hate in a game from jrpg combat to restricted saving with overly punishing deaths that make you lose hours of progress Conant RNG dependent elements to releasing with no widescreen support in current year plus three so why don't I hate it that would be the million silver coin question the game is set in the Kingdom of Rondon a northwesterly island within a strange real version of medieval Europe taking place around the 1590s Rondon being a fairly CLE equivalent of late chuda England judging by the flags name and guards looking like the average resident of Hull we only get sparse information on the rest of the world such as the Eastern sanctuaries that are roughly the Middle East and Vinland North America a mostly dark Barren continent filled with monsters and cannibalistic furries write your own jokes in the comments so named by the Vikings of alore the Kamar Union for the amount of wine one must consume to stay sane over there you pick from one of four characters all who have their own reasons for making the full Hardy journey into the dungeon but but in most cases this centers around a personal connection to an ex mercenary leader named lagard held prisoner deep within its depths that is with the exception of kahara who's mainly there for child support money after naming your choice their back story is explained in a brief intro that allows you to pick some starting skills and gear some of these are clear in their function but others you'll not understand until you've played a good deal more further some choices will give you nothing so I wouldn't worry too much about it your first characters are going to die probably quickly definitely horribly on a visual level the game looks eh it's an RPG Maker game and it looks like one but the mood and overall art direction do a lot for it the character and enemy portraits look good and go a long way to setting the creepy tone despite the low Fidelity of the environments sound effects are mostly on the basic side but are nonetheless serviceable the Irish wolf hounds being a standout but that's mainly from just how loud they are this could just be down to bad audio mixing but I suspect it's intentional loud noises being one of the two natural human fears the music again is more there to set tone and keep you on edge it's mostly ambient stuff not particularly memorable but it serves its purpose well on the technical side I did encounter a few bugs and a onetime soft lock but mostly it was smooth I still prefer if there was full wide screen RPG Maker does support it after all however you don't notice it much in practice presenting more of an issue on the editing level than anything else actually maybe it's more of an opportunity I did get some complaints on the last video that there was two too long of talking without jokes so I'll leave this here and try and boost my appeal with the Zoomers in terms of gameplay it's best described as unforgiving wait to around to long on the first screen and you'll be set upon by the Extremely Loud guard dos these are faster than you outnumber you and hit hard enough to down you within a few bites on the second turn of attacking they'll force you to call a coin toss to avoid instant death much of the game relies on luck in the form of these coin flips loot drops dangerous attacks and even saving lie under the uncaring tides of Fate as that coin soes through the air are you feeling lucky in this case calling it wrong results in your immediate mourn to death but at least it won't take long to get back to where you are later in the game you might not be so lucky if you do manage to take them down you'll still be injured most likely bleeding and infected on top of it the infection if not neutralized will kill you in a few screen transitions oh you don't have any of the limited green herbs needed to cure it you don't know where any are because you've just started the game well I don't really see how that's my problem the bleeding on the other hand is far more forgiving the blood loss leaving you with a single point of body better bandage it quickly or you'll get done in by The Next Guard tentacle monster or stiff breeze you encounter again this is the first screen of the game welcome to fear and hunger enjoy your stay the game is best treated somewhat like a Rog likee each run is a way to gain a better understanding and start the next in a stronger position once you actually enter the dungeon either waling in through the front door or sneaking up through the basement the game Begins for real as its dark curse starts to take a hold outside of the Fairly self-explanatory body Health there are two others you need to manage this being fear and hunger you probably saw this coming hunger is quite straightforward the need for Mortal beings to consume to survive isn't something I need to explain it really should have come with your genetics better meals restore more and are less likely to give you tapeworms if you don't eat you get weaker first in combat then your legs give out at the point of starvation your vision starts closing in to total blindness and here you thought it'd be the chronic masturbation that did that in wait no we're not on that game yet fear is dictated by the Mind stat and it will always be decreasing like the darkness itself its encroach upon your mind can be slowed a little by carrying a torch each character has their own randomly assigned phobia that will trigger on certain enemies making them more vulnerable to damage and unable to evade attacks these do vary in detriment as ones like phasmophobia phobia of ghosts or necrophobia phobia of the Dead don't have that many strong enemies that can trigger them and most can just be run around instead of engaging on the other hand te out phobia the phobia of scary monsters wait how is that one considered an irrational fear or erotophobia the fear of sex will trigger on some of the most common enemies as the first thing lost with the degradation of your sanity is apparently the desire to not hang dong constantly if mind drops to zero you instead gain panophobia a fear of everything mind is also your Mana bar almost all skills and spells besides talking running away or doing the enemy's job for them require mind some enemies can even deal damage to this directly much like in real life your sanity is best restored by binge drinking but as was discovered by the Knights of Rondon in the Far East giving opium to Children is great additionally that talk skill is going to be a trap 90% of the time most enemies will have little to say that is if they can even talk at all to not mistake this game for undertale in undertale a cute little dog blocks your path you can beat it to death or pet it maybe taking some inconsequential damage before you happily part ways here in fear and hunger we have the local torturer trying to shiv you in a blood soaked prison back room nonetheless he can be Ted down from the atrocities he wishes to commit On You by ratting out where another potential victim is who he'll then saw the legs off of there are some you can talk down from fighting you or recruit but most of the time all you're doing is giving them a free turn to hack off another one of your limbs oit hey I'm warning you Gathering items to manage these stats is your main minute-to-minute goal however what you get is random and you'll never know if you'll get exactly what you're looking for if you can get the right ingredients then you can craft meals that restore far more than the some of its parts or dive into Alchemy to make potions that heal more destroy obstacles or negate poison however crafting anything besides the basic torches is locked behind getting the right cooking Almanac or alchemical tone which like most things in the game are locked behind RNG this time from bookshelves outside of unique items fan behind quests bookshelves contain the best loot in the game sometimes it's just stuff that expands the law they effectively useless to anyone not running a law Channel but you can also gather books that directly Grant you extra skills spells or safe slots uh one you only though if you're truly lucky you can land yourself a blank scroll these also require a quill to use but once you have it you can quickly bend the whims of the world back to your will seriously I'll get back to them later but they're equivalent to having a single use of the developer debug terminal importantly there is another way to tip the scales of fate in your favor anytime you're asked to call a coin toss you can hold down shift to use one of your lucky coins as well upping you from a 50/50 to a 75% chance of success you get two of them but hey if you're lucky maybe you can find more of them the combat at first glance is standard jrpg Affair instantly recognizable from the interface alone but there is one fairly major difference you probably noticed by now dismemberment is the name of the game any poorly attached limb tentacle or genital can and will be sliced off at a moment's notice you may be able to heal Health damage but well I hope that wasn't your good arm as she ain't coming back you do always get the first turn in combat and can aim for any limb except the head without penalty many enemies will be downgraded from imminent painful death to mely dangerous with the simple application of drastic non-consensual weight loss but others will still remain 86% combat effective aiming for the head then would seem to be the better option as with only minor exceptions this will put something down straight away but excluding those with oversized heads it's a lot harder to hit and leaves you open for radical height reduction through experimental observation I can say with some certainty that most people find it much harder to run away from something if they lack the legs upon which to do so let's run to a working example of combat here we have Sir Arthur proud knight and future king of Rondon while out traveling with his Noble Squire he has encountered a Ruffian in the form of the Black Knight with the first move Arthur hits an arm removing it unfortunately the knight in this case is able to continue Swings with ether arm but the effectiveness is now reduced and fails to connect with Arthur Arthur's next strike takes off the other arm rendering the Black Knight to ineffective combat strength only able to kick in retaliation causing minimal damage with no risk of dismemberment from here Arthur has three options to strike the Torso which when destroyed will finish the foe but also has the highest toughness of any part alternatively he can strike at the head which represents a softer Target with equal effect when demolished however the Knight is still active thus making striking it in such a manner difficult instead our future king strikes the legs removing one than the other throwing the Black Knight off balance thus making the head as easy as any other this basic flow will work for many an enemy you encounter but remember to stay flexible treat each encounter like a puzzle and don't be afraid to use all you have at your disposal there is no such as experience in fear and hunger other than what you personally gain by playing by which I mean your character will never level up remaining on the measly 100 points of body until you either Prevail or perish actually your total can be changed in one manner if you get hit by a blunt object this can cause a fracture permanently reducing your total body this combined with the fact many enemies drop nothing on death means most of the time you're simply better off avoiding the fight altogether some enemies will leave you alone if you don't touch them and most others have a limited field of vision the easiest way to know if they've spotted you as listening out for someone te a hammer to the G1 key of A poorly tuned piano if you're heading deeper then you're going in the right way but if you need a hint for Direction look for this lever I'll be keeping spoilers light for now but if you want to go in mostly blind Now's the Time I've given you enough to at least not immediately eat [ __ ] otherwise I'll give proper spoiler warnings before I get into late game and endings SED to a false god and virgin mother the reputation of the miracle child alir spread quickly throughout a jti as the man Grew Older his way with words and passionate teachings Drew to his side together with the 12 most trusted of his Apostles they would begin to forge a new order for the Twisted world of Sultans and Kings alas they would not have it be so and slew the man his body nailed upon a wooden truss spread eagled for the crows to pick and masses to gwat upon the dawn of the third day the 11 Apostles would be overjoyed as out of the sun walked alir and new he spoke of the city of the Gods and how he had left all the tainted parts of humanity behind but most of all of the righteous Wrath he would now Reign upon the Kings from the book of alamir by the holy church of rondan many now doubt if he was ever a man but that was all so long ago now of all the playable characters the one with the closest connection to lagard is Dar both had been members of the mercery band known as the Knights of the Midnight Sun a small but Elite Force that had performed successfully across Europa from the Frozen north of aliger to the Crusades under the harsh son of jayah Dak was leg's first lieutenant but beyond that was deeply in love with her commander when the Knights of the Midnight Sun were led into a trap and slaughtered she set out to rescue her beloved as a character she's one of the strongest starting with heavy armor and strong offensive options such as fast dance that lets her take two actions around and being the only one that can start with arm or leg guards these rare items completely prevent the relevant limbs from being hacked off in combat only one can be worn at a time though she's a great choice for your first few runs the dark priest anky had received Visions from the gods that told him of a man imprisoned at the bottom of a distant dungeon fated to washer in a new age and so he too delved into the dungeons of fear and hunger he sits at the other end of the scale to dark a feeble bodied dark priest completely unable to equip heavy armor or hold two-handed weapons in his little twink arms as most do he compensates by calling his bigger mates to beat their ass and by tapping into the dark magic of the old gods to explode their testicles remotely he's able to start with necromancy or pyromancy when in a pit of ha and Monsters the ability to raise the bone Brigade to fight alongside you is an invaluable one not only do they provide an extra 100 body points to chew through but suffer no mind or hunger degradation to worry about the Bony boy beats Squad attack on their own so it can be harder to Target specific parts of an enemy you want but they can use stronger weapons than him extra damage is extra damage at the end of the day don't look a gift horse in the mouth even if it is lacking skin necromancy is a great choice for new players you can also raise ghouls but I found it harder to come up with good alliteration for them and they're just not as good rang vder entered the dungeon for very different reasons he too sought the guard but not for rescue rangen vder wanted the man dead he'd been a viking of aligar journeying as far as Vinland the harsh conditions of the desolate place and the long voyages made him a true survivor acknowledging the uncivil means required of one well that's dinner sorted he can also start with a bow this can be used like any other weapon in combat but additionally if you find iron arrows this can be used in the Overworld killing or Ming enemies without a for retaliation he returned with much from Finland but not long had he been back before while out hunting he bore witness to a maab scene his village slaughtered little left besides the traces of who had done this the Knights of the Midnight Sun he would see to him personally kahara a man born in the same land as the ascended God alare had been nearly 1600 years ago the God's love would seem far from kahara and his hard life led him to the criminal underworld drifting for most of his life till he found himself in Rondon his pursuit of coin and pleasure landed him with a final job to rescue a man from The Dungeons of fear and hunger a good job so good in fact that he could retire off it so what was the catch kahara has some of the best utility skills being able to steal in combat for extra and potentially rare items or pick logs allowing him to get through many doors others would need to try and break down or hunt for Keys these Keys r a random drop so others may never get through that door one is always guaranteed in this chest but that chest isn't always guaranteed to be here he also gains easy access to on guard that is use much like rang and volder's bow in this case letting you gain an extra round at the start of combat this is not one you can start with though you'll need Soul Gems another random drop that function as your skill progression these can be spent at a hexen to curse your weapons to deal extra damage and kill ghosts or gain extra skills which you have available depends on the soul of your character for skill on the right half these require Affinity with the old gods remember this from en's character creation now you know what it means these can be raised in other ways too the simplest being allir being literally Jesus you can gain Affinity with him just by praying also I don't know how to describe it the hexen just controls awfully probably doesn't come across too well in video Love is a beautiful thing as it is love that gives birth to life so it was at the dawn of time the great mother Sylvian would create man a thing for her boundless love to flow upon the Cornucopia of her affection flowed like rain upon her children soothing their souls and healing their hurt but no matter how much she gave to them they would not return in kind only at their most intimate moments would she feel the tiniest Sparks of warmth radiate back and so more more she needed more until man was not but a writhing mass in her name like rabbits more but in time it would fade and so our mother turned away but still in those passionate moments her love may be glimpsed a lost history of old gods by the enlightened e andaran all four character stories take place simultaneously and I'll save the cannon of what's actually happening for spoilers as yeah that with the exception of who you're playing as the rest can be found around the place it's a lot safer to travel together they can even fill in gaps your main character as lacking but this also means double or potentially quadruple the food an intoxicant consumption to keep everyone healthy otherwise they might not stick around Cara is the easiest to recruit being found fairly early on locked in a jail cell after some quality time with the guards oh hey that's still going he'll join you straight away then leave straight away along with your purse thieving little bastard dark can be found a bit later in the caves getting attacked by some trite trying to push in the soft spot of her head and kahara again a little deeper into the mines eny and ranginald are a little bit more of a pain but who needs humans in your party humans domesticated wolves once why not do it again the cave wolves or moonless can eat anything even rotten meat without issue and have a high bleed chance on their attacks she also attacks twice around and gets a more powerful bite after pissing on enough lampos not interested in the good girl well there's the decapitated head of a wizard somewhere in the corpse pile and he's Immortal mentally he might not be all there though I mean he certainly isn't physically just don't let him hear you say that or he'll likely try and light you on fire finally there's a little girl in a cage to keep her safe from others or to keep others safe from her probably not the latter as she quain literally does nothing in combat okay that's not entirely Fair she can also use consumable items saving other party members from needing to do so give her a knife that's more her speed or a s all she'll happily beat a man to death with that she has other uses too she can be sacrificed to grow gor gain Affinity she can be fed to the human Hydra for literally nothing or traded to the cats and Mander kinderg for powerful items he's somewhat of a folk Boogyman if naughty children don't eat their cabbage he comes to your house and gives you testicular tortion or something if you don't have any Coca-Cola classic kids Pepsi is fine too or you know you could actually look after the poor child give her the doll you find what does it do it makes her smile isn't that enough PSA though don't try and show love to her in the prayer rooms it doesn't mean you Pat her head and give her a hug it means sex thankfully the game prevents you from doing so and in early versions of the game outright killed him for it trying to show love to nasara will also kill you but that's not from any moral failing at least not on your part he'll just set you on fire cuz he's an [ __ ] like that if you do find a willing partner the two of you can combine into a marriage of Flesh it has marginally better stats than a starting character but given you now only have one your effective combat power has significantly decreased unless you're playing anky what it does have is all four limbs this is one of only two ways to get all your limbs back the other requiring that ever coveted resource the girl if you're running out of Limbs after making a marriage you can always do it again but you might not like the consequences at least your melting complexion now means the guards don't recognize you as human anymore you also no longer have a fear because you cause it getting into medium level spoilers here but I'll give a final warning before I get to the endings something cannot come from nothing this is well known to plant a crop the field must first be cleared for Sylvan to create wonders upon something must first clear a blank canvas then this is grog goroth that which destroys a perfect destruction without prejudice or malice The Offspring of the rabbit are devoured by the wolf two in harmony The Flower Magic of life and the blood magic which brings death under the skin of man he may still walk among them a lost history of old gods by the enlightened e anaran the dungeon is not the easiest place to navigate I made this map but most people I show it to complain about massive sanity loss and start reaching for their opium so it might be easier for me to just guide you through verbally if you chose the left path into the dungeon you'll end up in the basement this is probably the easier path the jellyfish here have a top speed that can be outpaced even after hacking off all your limbs there's also a door here that talks to you you'll not be able to open that yet there's always a skeleton by the door for if you have necromancy past the graveyard there's a larger welllet room with a man with two lighthouses forarms he'll probably kick your ass so stay away from him in ad joining rooms you can also find a store room to stock up and one of the the only beds that's safe to save in once don't try it twice just don't sneaking past the iron Shakespeare there is another door that leads down into the prison if you went through the main door you'll instead run into guards but you can also find the girl in her cage and a kitchen where you can cook meat exiting through the dining room you'll get one of the last glimpses of daylight there's a shortcut down to the basement here as well as another door you can't open behind the other door is the ritual and torture rooms the dark priest here actually have fixed Loot and go down very easily in one hit for most characters at least they always drop a purifying Tasman that lets you get through the warded door as well as a soul Stone behind said door is the hexen for upgrading yourself and weapons if there is not a door there it will be in the bottom right of the area below the dungeon has a strange way of not always being how you remembered it the last time if you found the mockup book earlier then you can get through this bookcase into the secret garden the cultist of Sylvian will heal you and raise your Affinity with her but do try not to get lost in the pleasure if you head back to the torture rooms and walk to the right you'll head down into the blood pit and onto the prison sneak past the guards you can find the lever you're looking for back in the blood pit you can now descend deeper not everyone feels a connection to the likes of Sylvian Gro Goro or alamir for those Outcast by The World At Large those who Shuffle in darkness who others turn away from in revulsion they can only turn but deeper into the dark to one not remembered by many but never truly forgotten by all lurking in the shapes and the night one who embodies all that is filth that is foul that is forsaken a thousand maggots wearing the shape of a friend a million roaches eclipsing the ground uncountable spiders weaving prayers to the god of the depths a prayer in darkness author unknown the caves are dark to the light of the sun even what meager warmth made it through the fog of the dungeons Gardens will never touch down here this is the realm of the cave gnomes walls and and uh child molesters you can find another Soul Stone down here but beware of what may be lurking to guard it beyond the caves lie the mines and from the moment you enter a terrible presence can be felt watching you this is the Crower he'll chase you slowly but relentlessly and if he catches you at this point it's basically game over every turn he'll Mo you with his arm causing about 40 damage with a high chance of infection and or fractures okay not great not terrible the arm has 700 health so it will take a while to get through he also has a onethird chance every return to instakill one of your party members you probably don't have more than two at this point so that's a one in N chance of a total party wipe by turn two right well which body part does that oh it's the head which also has 500 health and an 85% evasion chance well we know how to bring that down break the legs and he's not thrown off balance by that yet just run there's no shame in that I didn't even mention that he also has a oneir chance to permanently blind you as well but hey at least you can equip an item that prevents that yeah it drops by killing an NPC that hasn't even spawned yet avoiding the Chrome W for now deep inside the caves you can run into a strange man he's not seen you yet you can introduce yourself but how much do you trust things in this game at this point once he leaves you're free to proceed and by free I mean there's a ghost rocking around who'll also quickly send you back to your last save at least the crow was corporeal also best avoided who you can't avoid is guarding the cave exit a yellow Mage oh sorry were you suddenly expecting the game to play fair they can cast hurting in the Overworld that will remove a limb with each use attack them before they get the chance they're not any less dangerous in a straight up fight but their health isn't too high also it's their legs that cast hurting just try one of them first either is fine lady's choice left arm will also cast swarm of locust that can stun you best make that Target too after that he's basically harmless you can even talk to him if you wish he has a chance of dropping Soul stones or opium on death though right that's that going into the next cave there starts to be signs of civilization the V oh do you mind the village is not immediately hostile to you and don't care if you take all their stuff so long as you don't touch their Cube they even have the first Trader in the game who will often sell opium well technically there's this guy who turns up in the first area but he only sells three different flavors of poison the green one is my favorite it tastes like Baha Blast above their Village a great creature sleeps reaching impossibly deep into the old consuming Darkness let's leave him be shall we in the village you can find rope that will let you down further into the mines there is little down here all the crates and barrels are empty lit clean for anything that may remain there's only one thing to eat down here and that's each other Goro will like you for it though further in you can find a sword its blade sunk deep into the walls of the cave it's handle carved onely clearly a blade of great craftsmanship and it's just sitting there you could yank it out but it does seem to be structural at this point pulling it out would bring the whole place down on top of you best leave it for now we're close to our goal we just have to get past the ghosts steady steady and oh sorry left the volume a bit high on that one but I didn't want you to miss the final spoiler warning heavy spoilers from here out skip to here or better yet go play the game yourself it's Dirt Cheap even off sale okay that's it you've lost arm privileges you do understand you brought this on yourself fear and hunger has many endings and once You' started there's no leaving until you've achieve what you set out to do or perished unless you can find a hidden Escape but as you learn and with the right luck maybe you can achieve what you came here to do or maybe more for dark and kahara all they wanted was to find legard but by the time he've emerged from the mines snuck past or managed to best the elite guards of his cell you'll have found lagard dead his throat cut and blood spilled from his limp body across the cell your mission failed nothing to do now but leave but what if you were faster taking everything you knew and making straight for him well whether he's alive depends on one thing and one thing only the age of your save file if it's more than 30 minutes he's dead less and he's still holding it together this includes time spent in the character creation dialogue but don't skip this as if you take certain options you can gain the dash ability doubling your movement speed not only does this mean you can get to lagard cell faster but it also makes you faster than just about all enemies except the dogs and honestly making the game a good deal easier you want to be picking options that are about running away if you've chosen something previously and it gave you nothing you were probably on the right track it's invaluable but if you lose a leg or take too big of a fall you'll lose this skill conversely if you did not take it say if you wanted necromancy on anky instead then you don't need both legs feel free to drop it off in combat guilt-free or cut it off with a bone saw if it doesn't match your F way no matter how you do it if you make it to him in time lagard is saved and you can escort him out the front of the dungeon netting you the Escape ending however he seems to want to stay lagard is one of the best party members you can get able to use all weapons and armor he's a strong fighter he starts with a skill leg sweep which is only usable if you have a one-handed weapon but if you do it'll instantly destroy anything that can conceivably be called a leg I say conceivably as all doors in The Gamer legs maybe this is a succubus situation where that was the most readily available building material but more likely it's just a quirk of programming in practice it means any door you can try and break down will be destroyed instantly including this one you remember this one it's the one that talk to you normally you need to somehow defeat the Crower to get in but with lagard and toe as good a skeleton key as any this gets you Soul Edge an our cursive blade and one of the strongest weapons in the game just one minor issue it talks and craves to be fed blood wait are they not all supposed to do this the only party member strong enough to withstand its effects is lagard who will stoically shoulder the burden skeletons can also use it as they lack the Mind needed for mind control narar could probably resist this too but he has other issues preventing him from using it if you didn't already steal the cave dweller's Cube you'll need to grab that now make sure to get any final trading done before you turn them against you just past the guard's cell is a door that cannot be broken down using the cube as the only way to progress dark tombs lie within ghouls slithering from the walls and more dangerous monsters lurking in the shadow the way is blocked but winding through the catacombs the entrance lies before you the entrance to where mahab shining city of the Gods its golden glimmer are Beacon to those of great purpose and drive its Towers like a great guiding Way Stone driven roughly into the frontal lobe many has it drawn in Like Moths To The Flame a flame that may burn them to Ash or light them to a brighter path and greater things than they could ever achieved hence what light shall shine upon you memories of the great City author lost to time the city of mahab can be a confusing place to navigate paths can easily cross over and under each other looping back and creating new paths from the former it also probably won't look like this the first time you visit it will be more like this there are two versions existing within one space one ruins in the present and the others in its golden days of past Glory you can switch between which version you're in at any point by using an item in specific locations wait no not again right here's a map you're here you need to get here but the door won't open in the past and this guy wants you to run errands for him in the present what kind of errands oh nothing big just killing and taking the soul of three Gods however they're only New Gods their power is great but nothing on the unconquerable might of the old gods I've not even capitalized the G in their God a difference that definitely works and is noticeable in a non-written media like this the easiest is Nilan a holder of the Endless Soul same as kahara her soul can be found under the top of the tower of the Endless here in the present this is the only bed that is 100% safe to sleep in in the past something haunts your dreams before you lies history that which sits at the core of each character the Visions received by enki The Unborn Child of kahara the slaughter of ranald's people within the cabin an old spinster sits spinning at a wheel you know better than to trust this kind of thing fast Dan fire poison whatever you've got and there we go that's more of what you'd expect her feet are not that dangerous but her arms are vicious and will coin flip you on the third turn if not destroyed it even has a unique Sprite of having ripped off your face lovely once it's down nven will offer you her soul willingly one down two to go and you now have a safe place to save in past or present the gathered Soul also grants you access to the skills under that soul for instance if you're playing as the arc you can now pick skills under the endless and dominating as well as any old gods that you have favor with the interface is still no less awkward next up is the tormented one he resides down here in the actly named Temple of Torment but there's a few things to stock up on before challenging him firstly infection cures green herbs the best for this but if not there is a reusable item that cures infection well maybe cures is the wrong word look peny isn't going to be discovered for another 3 and a half centuries this is the best you've got right now a healing spell or two also wouldn't go a miss the final item is a little harder to come by in present mahab much of the ground has collapsed dropping down any of these is one of the many ways to bring about your impromptu end but this one right here leads somewhere special an altar sits before you and requires a steep price four limbs if you're short you can always hack off some more with bone saw this gets you the cgle spear a two-handed weapon with the highest base damage value in the game if you're wondering what a CLE is there are a species of furry with a head shaped like a wedge of cheese popular among V artists I've got to feel a bit sorry for the guy who made them for his sci-fi setting only for it to have a popularity far outside its original home much like The Fez Shades or this gift from commer of the iron Fortress like I'd never heard of villis before researching this video the furry Wiki has a section picked out in Bal stating they do not have human breasts which yeah I'm sure the artists will keep to that also that the violent and sexually deviant nature of a particular Circle has led to very harmful stereotypes for all circles I think they just hate to see a girl boss winning we here stand by our murderous Queen sorry I'm getting off track in game they live over in Vinland the spear is great but no good if you're down one arm or just too weak to carry it it's nice and all but not why we're here to the left of the altar is the lab of nasra in it we can make a cloned husk heading up to the left spits you out into the Temple of Torment we need to be in the past but luckily there's a lighthouse just outside of the temple heading back in the temple Rises with life again just because they're chained up it doesn't mean they won't try and fight you just that they can't reach you easily this is what we want the chains of Torment luckily we have a husk or you'd need to sacrifice a party member instead you've got to complete a mini game to increase both pains made slightly Harder by the tormented one himself chasing you although he does have a habit of getting stuck on the stairs he's quite an easy fight and that's because you don't actually kill him here and you don't even need to fight him at all once the tormenting is complete blood will flow throughout the temple I'm not sure how there was this much in one person but that's not really now the real fight can begin it's first day is not too hard use it like the first turn of skin granny to apply Buffs like fast dance and apply poison fire and bleed if you can as once he goes into his second stage he's mostly untargetable you'll need to jam both outer wheels of Torment before you can hit him but any dots from the previous phase will still carry over his most dangerous attack is chains of Torment can easily Kill from over half health so keep your allies topped up but overall not too hard of a fight two Souls down one Remains the final soul of Val telli the enlightened one can be found in the grand Library here but due to the City layout you need to Circle back down here on the way out you'll run into the white angel if you kill it then using a soul Stone will not Grant you a lesser soul but a named one this can be equipped in the accessory slot and gives you an extra turn every round much like moonless effectively doubling your damage output there are various unique Souls throughout the game the white angel is probably the strongest of these though but requires much less prep just needing to waltz in through the main door and solve a puzzle the answer to this there he is and there he goes his fight is fairly simple and has one trick to beating It For the Love of Gro Goro destroy his right brain his left brain does very little and the uh yeah sure will go with that doesn't come into play until four turns in the right brain on the other lobe can cast Black orb and hurting lobotomized with extreme prejudice after that he's not that dangerous the third eye can cast fivepoint Palm exploding heart technique which will kill you if the fight goes on for another five turns if you're really worried you can cure this with a purifying Talisman you'll probably have some there's almost no other uses for them although this does appear to be bugged in the current patch with All Souls gathered you can return to the guardian and present them to gain access to the king's passage here you'll find Francoise the final of the new Gods old and withering he'll give you a key to the place in the past and wish you well in taking his life for all the new gods are merely puppets of something greater back in the past the king's passage shines in all its Glory I'm sure there is a good reason the architect designed the floor to periodically spit out fire but I cannot guess what that is provided you avoided conf floration the final boss awaits francoy the dominating [Music] one he's not to be trifled with the right arm can dismember and the left casts both are priority targets at 800 Health each they're not going to be going away too quickly either in his second phase he gains many unique spells do your best to heal and throw everything at him he's the final battle hold nothing back he's not Inc conquerable as he falls lagard makes for his Golden Throne this is why he was here all along getting captured tortured rescued all was part of his plan to prepare himself for this moment an apotheosis to godhood he sits upon the chair and [Music] vanishes you can follow him in within the strange other realm he can be found mere minute for you yet it seems centuries have passed for him a new perfect body wrapped in yellow replacing the battered and scarred one you'd seen leave a moment ago you can offer your fty and he'll guide you out of the dungeon and Mankind into a new age granting you the prophecy ending if you do not bring theard you can take the right of Ascension for yourself sitting upon the throne and bringing in a new age of your own giving you the godhood ending endings A and B are also paired much like that of c and d but these require further action to be taken just before Le guard's cell there was a great dark heartbeating if you wish you can take your play to it quieting its movements besides the cave D's Village the great ancient god of the depth quaked and shook the god having long existed in a state betx life and death at least as close as an old God can get to such but with the severing of one of its external Hearts its Roar can be felt throughout the dungeon two more remain back in the secret gardens's Northeast a pile of rubble blocked the way with the application of explosives it can be cleared and if one can escape or defeat the dogs waiting on the other side a great diseased tree stands an opening in its withered trunk this descends into the darkness of the thicket crawling with strange mumbling creatures and false walls it can send lesser mines to Madness its strange spores have spread into every crevice like a deep rooted mold with one exception a singular clear path of ground with a queer sword at its Center not one of europan origin drawing it from the ground since it's old Master hunting you however unlike other swords the Eastern sword comes prec cursed if equipped it provides the best way of laying its Master to rest upon doing so the sword is purified removing its curse but restoring its full original strength in the form of a massive 70% crit chance its damage is arguably higher than my asthma because of this also as a bonus it doesn't try and make you kill your friends deeper yet into the thicket the second heart of the god beats with its strange pulse take your new billion folded aonian steel and take another Lifeline from the weakening Terror its final heart sits within Mahaba in the same place that Francoise had haunted from his throne of gold the death throws of a god older than time Echo returning to the Village the dead God sits with face Frozen in morbid Death Rows a final scream of pain the only way is down as you enter its great jaw closes behind you even a dead God still holds enough power to trap you The Gauntlet ahead is not an easy one the place is overrun with moonless guards a marriage of Flesh between a guard and a cave wolf a marriage does require the consent of both parties under the blessing of Sylvan so that raises some implications that would please slesh in practice they're just a harder version of the guards but at this point you'll probably have enough of a party that they're not too much of a threat same cannot be said for the aarian pendulums touching them is a reset no matter what and just because the game hates you beyond them is a weak floor that dumps you into a dead end passage with a chrome Aller between you and the exit sorry was that sounding a bit easy he's got two heads now that's a potential two party members instakilled per turn just run the final obstacle is a lizard in yellow Mage robes as dangerous as any Mage but with higher hit points and more limbs all of these pale in comparison to what lies the core of the Heart of Darkness grow gorth traces at least for it has been long since the gods left mankind gods are beings of exacting Purity but as Humanities grew the ideal of what love and destruction warped and diverged All That Remains are traces of the Gods like the still glowing Embers of an extinguished fire their warmth can still be f felt and they are more than enough to destroy a mere mortal or a new God such as nasara hope didn't plan to count on him no down to three party members now the best you can hope for is to struggle on regardless your sheer determination enough to make the traces pause from Curiosity to ask why you still fight when the end is [Music] inevitable you do not escape the dungeon for the final ending the a ending the same is required but the must accompany you keep her sanity up quiet her fear when it strikes show what kindness you can in a place so utterly devoid of it nin had asked you so when you met her in the dream for the child is hers side with legard like alir all those years ago a child born from a false god and an exceptional human Rose to rival the old gods in power maybe it could be done again as the girl is brought to the Heart of Darkness she peers out into the endless Inky black Ness the dark something she had known for longer than she had memory of Cruelty suffering pain all without even the concept of Hope a perfect and pure fear ran through her delicate frame kahara approached warning her to be careful so close to the edge his words cut short as she dropped to the ground screaming and convulsing lashing out all around her her form shifting extra limbs sprouting and receding never retaining one silhouette for long shifting through age growing into a full woman arms cracking like marble and falling to the side while Crimson tears streamed from her face the marble skin splitting at the groin was this how woman were was this her purpose no yet again her body shifted growing in size and power to rate that hurt merely to witness the forming God staring down at the specks before her their tiny blades and spells like those that had tormented her in the dark cage now almost imperceptible something lay on the ground next to them a small knife that had been hers one of the only things that ever had and beside it a doll crude and dirty but a feeling surrounded it something she didn't know one she had not felt before was this kindness where was it from again those specks next to her unlike all others she had known Humanity was that it it seemed further and further beneath her the newborn God shifted One Last Time almost all that could ever have hinted at her former shell discarded she stared Without Eyes into theirs the pure fear she had known reflected in their gaze the toll in their mind more than they could bear she looked away and they dropped to their knees but still persisted fighting to hold on to their porcon in flicker lives that could shatter so easily she acknowledged their suffering why do you resist [Music] the thought must have crossed your mind at some point the thought that you dve too deep the thought that this would be a one way true so instead of fighting the inevitable why not embrace [Music] it just lay down rest there is Beauty in this darkness that can be harnessed and you to user something new all the above endings can be achieved on normal but for each character there also exists one more s ending but to get these you need to be playing on hard mode this means more and harder enemies no other party members and no saving first is kahara as there's not much to talk about and it's not canon he's just there to get treasure so he can look after his unborn child of a prostitute in Rondon he's in love with you need to buy the maps from this guy and dig them up in mahab dark is another quick one lagard is always dead in hard mode as you can't recruit party members but AR isn't going to let that stop her within Mahaba you can gather three pieces of older Magic one's here one's here and the last one is here with enacting the ritual lagard sheds his old flesh and is Born Again declaring himself as a God enky and raval's S endings are a lot harder enies is not too different from the standard d ending but you have to befriend The Alchemist in the minds and fight the traces of Sylvan in the void the problem is that enemies have more Health meaning he's too weak to remove a guard's arm in one turn this is a problem but it's not insurmountable your best bet is to head straight for a bookshelf and pray for an empty scroll these work by writing prayers to alir in the form of oh Lord give or teach then nearly anything in the game swords items food you name it skills that you don't have the soul or favor for no problem spells that aren't even on the hexen here you go combustion at least in my opinion is the best spell in the game it does good damage with a high chance of setting an enemy on fire but more importantly yes it has zero mind cost eat your heart out nasar I can spam this till not but Ash remains giving yourself the white angel soul and on guard skill are also good choices NOS ramas has one of his desk and the dark priest in the dream will give you one if you wear the correct robes further any bookcase with a coin flip has a chance of dropping one they're well worth using your lucky coins on once you get over the hump en's s ending is eminently doable letting you Glimpse godhood but still pulling yourself back to reality and realizing that it's a false promise of power enky would later go on to author the skin Bibles ancient histories of the old gods and the Occult under his full name the enlightened anky andarin rangen balder's ending the god of Ultraviolence is the ultimate test of the game you need to gather the soul of 12 creatures in order to purify the dungeon this includes ones such as the crow merer the best bet is get Isaiah's Iron Mask to prevent blindness from the flock of crows and using a red vial on his head to give him a 75% mischance putting the odds of an instakill down to 1 in 12 from 1 in three per turn finally necromancy is recommended as it gives other things for him to hit you'll want to pick up the best swords you can either miasma the Eastern sword or blue sin stuck in the cave wall if you have a book named The Passage to mahab this can be used in the few seconds before the cave-in to teleport you to safety bringing out its full potential requires cursing it at which point it has a 70% chance to cause fire on it finally make sure to stop by the salmon snake in the cave it's not too hard of a fight and its soul is one of the best in the game preventing limb loss bleeding infection and fire after this it's just a matter of making your way through the rest of the game the final soul is that of the butterfly the strange fly likee creature hidden in the garden do not kill him his soult drops after you destroy all three of the purple hearts if you do [ __ ] this up like I did you'll need to use a blank scroll to unsoft Lo yourself then just make sure lagard is dead and leave to ravage the rest of Europa you've conquered the hardest the game has to offer nothing can stop you now so after all that work to conquer the dungeon what's your reward you get a dating Sim that's what dungeon Knights mode drops you into a classroom being taught by nasar and attended by almost every other major character from the main game in what the Creator himself even describes as a joke that got seriously out of hand hey I know the feeling this was meant to be a quick video as a break from Pathfinder scope creeps a [ __ ] you have class during the day the curriculum is at least interesting although I'm not sure I'd trust anything the teachers tell you in 4 days there'll be a school dance so you'd better find yourself a partner after class you can scope out the potential dating pool with the exception of who you're playing as the other four main characters are options two of the less antisocial New Gods can also be seduced the tormented one is a sensitive Soul who appreciates those that appreciate the Arts nven just wants you to tell her she's pretty it wouldn't be a personer esque mode without the ability to date your teachers and this includes the Headmaster incidentally if you did choose pocket cat please let me know why finally you have best boy that being chomore oh damn it uh my bom might be disappointed to hear but I'm quite Rusty on my corid at least Crow is one of the easier dialects of it here goes this joke isn't funny and goes on way too long I'm just going to skip this okay damn I'm out of practice but the short of it is he's struggling to make friends and has lost his pine cone Pig I don't think I mentioned them before they're a curious little charm made from simple sticks embedded into a large pine cone then blessed with a Divine kiss from vushka the old god of nature to bring it to life there off you go little one they'll return at the start of combat sometimes with nothing but they can also bring you many a useful trinket and item crows lost charm can be found in the dungeon which which can be visited by leaving town rangal can also be found there if you'd agreed to go with him at the end of the day you gain hearts with each character based on what you did with them you'll need to Max this out before they'll agree to be your date and what each requires varies the easiest is rangen Walder as you just need to go dunge engineering with him each day and not die for most of the others you'll need to take them on dates as well on the fourth day you can return the pine cone Pig and ask Crow out on a [Music] date oh doing it again as if once wasn't bad enough okay I promise that last one sounds a lot more romantic in corid when you're back in town you can also go shopping for food equipment and Furniture the furniture has no in-game effect but you wouldn't want to bring a guy back to a room that looks like this now would you on the final day you can then ask out your chosen date and hopefully they say yes so given all the possible timelines and situations what's the actual story given that a second game has been released we can actually determine what Cannon looks like dungeon Knights is fairly obviously not Cannon but of the other 9 and a half endings a few are Cannon and quite a few are somewhat Cannon the most clear being en's s ending that's all in there he glimpsed Enlightenment and then went on to write the so-called skin Bibles rangen balder's s ending is mostly true he did truly become a feared Hunter of beasts with one exception though though not possible on his s route he did actually befriend moonless and she would go on to work alongside his descendants and also started bulking at some point Jesus a girl that Natty the other exception is the crow Maller who's still around in the 1940s although given moonless is carrying myasthma he may have been defeated and just came back the dungeon is a strange Place neither of the e or the endings a cannon but at least one of C1 C2 or Dar AR's s endings are you could argue for whether Dar AR found lard alive and took into Ascension or found him dead and then performed the resurrection ritual I suspect the latter and I suspect it was rangan balder that killed him finally kahara unfortunately was likely the recipient of the a ending he has many unique interactions with a girl and as stated by The Game's Creator Kara's absence in termina tells a story too he likely heeded nin's plea doing his best to protect the girl then perishing in the last Act of Mercy by the newborn God of fear and hunger finally nasra likely attempted the B ending on his own as he's a charred corpse inter terminer then again the amount of Fire magic he's throwing around he might have just done it to himself by accident if all this made you interested in the game then I highly recommend picking up the second game terminer I'm serious the whole thing is a bit more streamlined and Polished as well as having a clearer story and more distinct characters and also no randomized saving I genuinely think it's the better choice to start with they're also set hundreds of years apart so you're not going to spoil the game by playing them out of order and don't need to know anything from fear and hunger in order to play terminer once you finished it you can then go back and play one with greater context of what's to come or don't I can't actually tell you what to do if you can though and I understand this may be harder than the game ever could be convince a friend to get it with you having someone go into to it at the same time who you can discuss your findings and strategies and ultimately share the joy of Discovery with it's an almost forgotten experience these days either way thank you for watching thank you to arasmus for the encounter art for Valk I've linked her socials below as well as the map I've made if you feel that mind Scorch is actually abuse additionally the 3D models for the lucky coin I made
