Delicious lore!

The writing is so good, that I don't even feel bad that u are leaving. RUclips is an open gallery with your art exposed to everyone who can appreciate it, and I know u could pump video weekly and maybe dilute your talent. I can tell u repetition is a powerful dilute. I confess I was so stun-locked when the video came out, that I couldn't even write something about it. Wish I could match your skill, in crafting intricate pieces about VGM and the environment they conjure in my mind. and again...thanks for your contribution to the writing world, I wish you the best in your future projects.

Infinite darkness beyond imaginations now let me show you depictions and imaginations

1:27 I'm just glad that my theory about the Estate being on the American East Coast is being verified.

Thank you for taking us through this eldrirch ancient horror with is full of hope

The lore of this land and its tainted core, the people who suffer and spring anew as stronger beings. They are yours now, and you are bound to them

Not a goodbye, only “until next time”

It's interesting to consider the many asymmetries the game leaves us with in the end. Most of the world was remade according to the protege's opinions and emotions: the Sprawl and the Foetor are great examples of this. But the people in these regions also had agency, as Bourassa said in the interview with you. Their choice on how to approach the apocalypse influenced the outcome as well. Then, you have the Shroud: we know the protege visited it, but he's not the one remaking the inhabitants into fishmen. They did it themselves as a last resort to survive. Then there is the Tangle. This is where the original academic study was located, so it's an immensely important location to the protagonist. But the protege didn't transform the general and the army: that happened as the manifestation of the cult shocked them on an existential level. It seems that while the protagonist can indeed reshape the world with the power of the Crown, it cannot do so in a limitless way. I would almost say that it distorts the world, rather than outright remake it from scratch. And then... There's the Mountain. Did it exist before the ritual? If it did, there is no clue that the protege ever interacted with it during his normal life, making it the only place in the game not connected to him pre-ritual (other than the Sluice, whose connection is DD1). If it didn't exist before the ritual, then why specifically a mountain? And why doesn't it disappear with the Hateful God? Indeed, it even shows up in the Kingdoms trailer! I fully agree with your interpretation of the "weak" hypothesis. On a thematic level - we are flawed, emotional beings not fit to handle the immense power of the Crown. On a literal level, in the DD universe our creator is the Heart. We are a profusion of errant flesh. Pretty sure that is a corrupting brand one can't overcome. The Crown at the end is basically a monkey's paw. Yes, it will give you power to reshape the world, technically. But you'll fuck it up because you're human, and the mere act of completing the murderous ritual will compromise you even further anyway; and it will "steal you" once the ritual is complete, so that you're not the one in charge anyway even as a part of you is incorporated into the Crown. I think the Academic's words also imply that the Crown is sentient... I think it's a god, an Outer God basically. What its relevance is to terrestrial cultures, why we saw it so prominently in the Estate and the Dungeon (even the growths!), why the religion of the Flame has anti-Crown iconography, the connection to the Heart... I can't say. I spend way too much time thinking about the Mountain. Like you, I was very profoundly affected by this game on an emotional level. I love both games, but I have a more personal connection with this one. I will forever be thankful to Red Hook for making it, and I won't stop playing it any time soon - or listening to the extended Battle Of The Mountain while I work. Thanks for that, @osborOST!

It is a long and winding road you have chosen for yourself, but as long as you travel with head held high and fire in your heart, may it be in your favor. As another reality says, to live is to suffer, but there is oh, oh so much more than that. Until next we darken your doorstep. To have a chat, a flask of rich red wine, a sunless coast, or perhaps a night at a carnival... Or whatever other realm we find you in.

So you are quiting youtube huh? Goodluck in what you follow next my friend, you made a banger of a channel.

Much better than Christian sins.

Seeing the Leper stand up straight hoisting his sword in front of the cultists and the giant black smog that surrounds the party gets me feeling some shit every single time.

It is truly uncanny how the fire in the library and the arrival of the letter aligned itself, personally I doubt it was the Accademic, throughout the history he is presented as practicly 'pure' one who always rejects any idea of achieving his goals regardless of the cost, he is the anti-thesis of the Protegé, I now think that maybe, maybe, someone did not wish for them to understand the true nature of the Iron Crown, which they could have deduced from literal sources, maybe someone wanted to plunge the Protegé into more, practical sphere of research, denial of reason and steadiliness for... a more satisfying experience of science PS: Darkest Dungeon II is probably one of the best games for people in mental crisis, I was deeply plunged into mental crisis in 2022, Darkest Dungeon II is all about fighting your imperfections and accepting yourself as you are, a weak human being, and it's ending is the most heartwarming thing I experienced in my gametime, all the love to you Miskatonic, we shall se again ❤

Hey Misk! I have a question. I'd be interested in picking up your top Patreon tier and have you consult on my project! So the question is, is that still open and available? 😁

Love the new voice and confident in the intonation, like always remember I will be watching.

I wonder what would have happened if the hateful god decided to try and add the heart to his body of work? Would they succeed, or fail? Would the heart allow it, or destroy it? An interesting thought indeed...

11:40 when does the narrator say that ?

ShuffleFM sent me!

"to get to the heart of the story we need to go back to the beginning" ShoddyCast would like to have a word with you about borrowing his catchphrase.

The end of one chapter, now to go and write the next, thank you for welcoming us around your campfire and tell us your stories, hope you go on to tell many more in the future.

The inspirational messages in this game and in your videos on it are brilliant, Misk. I may be in tears as I type. I am taking these messages as reminders as I face my own darkest dungeon. Having art that I am getting in my own way of making. As you journey forth, walk with that hope and the knowledge of why it is important. Until we meet again, thank you.

I’m gonna be honest with you Misk, your work got me into writing. I’d always flirted with the idea of dedicating myself to creating a world rich in lore and love, but I never had the inspiration to commit myself to such a grand task. That was until I came across your lore series on Darkest Dungeon, caught a stray livestream and (after I figured out how to navigate the discord servers’ security requirement like a boomer on Facebook) found the writing corner. Even though the one and only price I submitted to it was admittedly lackluster it had been the push I needed to learn the craft at a professional level. Thanks to your writing and coverage of the lore, cosmic horror will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish you the best of luck in whichever direction you choose to take your life in, and if I ever need to acclimate into the mindset to write cosmic horror stories, well, I doubt your very own Body of Work will be leaving this wondrous hellscape of a platform that this sit is at times. 14:53 also you could say that the protégé knew the best way to a man’s heart (God I remember that silly joke like it was yesterday).

Thank you so much for all the videos, and good luck. "The way is lit. The path is clear. We require only the strength to follow it."

And so the story ends Until the next dlc

With a heavy heart and eyes of sorrow, we wish you the best on the road you now follow. We might not get to see you, whenever we wish and our greed might taint our minds but know it's not out of hate but out of love ... Thank you for your amazing work and just from all of us please enjoy your life 😊

Awesome two videos. Thanks for carrying the flame . Good luck to your next adventure.

Manner of these darkest and dungeon videos.The Lord is insane. I wonder what's next after this

Thanks for the journey. May we converge again, at life's next crossroads.

i was here since the days of ds1, and proud to see the end, proud and happy of this channel being a part in my life, keep on living, its what we do best

Nicely done.

Good video 👍

As within the film The Mummy(1999 version), "Death is only the beginning." Course in this case, the channel is not truly dead now is it? Just a small piece of a part of you worth revisiting from time to time. Much like how one revisits their Shadow at times, how I do so for myself and others as a witch. May you enjoy the peace and bounty of life waiting for you. I know I've my own to slowly work towards at long last. It certainly is coming pretty damn fast. Until we next meet, even if my time with this channel was very brief indeed. I shall await more whenever you decide to take a trip into here again. Thank you for helping me to understand the lore behind two amazing games, games I fear I'll never be skilled enough to play. Let alone have the patience/sanity to master, hmhmhm. Blessed be to you and yours Miskatonic. So shall it be.

7:33-10:49 The local man strikes again... with impunity

I felt truly satisfied and quite sad when I finished the game for the first time, it was quite a ride up to my final victory

And here we are, at the end…or perhaps, a beginning? Regardless, it has been a pleasure to follow this old road with you all. May we find our redemption here…

Waiting for part, happy to listen once again how Ancestor had his part in fucking up the world

Heck Yeah! Great vid! <3

Amazing as always Miskatonic, can't wait for part two!

Stellar!! Can't wait for part 2

Amazing video.

Can’t wait for what I’m guessing is gonna be a recap episode to show all the pre-run and post- run lore bits. Also I bet you’re over the moon with the kingdoms update being just around the corner.

Hey! Just wanna say i absolutely love your darkest dungeon videos, your my go to source for DD lore with how you go on to specifics on details and enemies and have made me appreciate the games even more as a newer fan, i hope this channel gets bigger so you can start making some money on RUclips because i wanna see more of your videos, god bless you dude.

this is hype for part two BABYYYY

Dude... this is really good stuff. The music, you narration skills, the general production is all great. Thank You for this.

Please make a video on the chosen!!!

Last Stand: Darkest Dungeon. When?

Binged this channel all day, lol. Thanks for all the stellar content you've done and doubly so for what you're yet to do. Keep on being glorious, chum!

The end of the lore videos? Such a shame...But are you certain it's truly the end? We do have more DLC on the way with the kingdoms update alone. And there may be another past that. Could there perhaps be a chance for at least a few more?

Yoooo, this is CINEMA! RedHook should ask some promos form you!

All driving and 10 seconds of gameplay just like the actual game. Fitting.
