Sera: *Constantly chooses to heal Cielo of his Hunger when given a choice* *Heat will remember that!* (Couldn't resist making that joke.)

BEEG Murder Elephant

Ravana 2 is just an earthbound starman Also one of the key things about this fight is that it was a major roadblock in the human form challenge run until the solo strategy was figured out 24:40 this quote is crazy in hindsight

I like how the foreshadowing is handled for all the stuff of how the people of the junkyard are more particular in a kinda of way. As always the embryon are a group that i enjoy a lot and the last cutscene is really lovely.

21:45 it's actually rock-bottom, Hunger comes with the nasty side effect of essentially putting you under the effects of 4 rakundas while afflicted. Luckily the debuffs are directly tied to the status itself so Song of Grace cleanses them.

was not expecting BIG GIRIMEHKALA

Let's be honest, Ravana's second form is just him putting on a track suit. And with the half committed stab, he's gone full "Oi, Bruv"

20:53 You're right, it *IS* a Zip-up suit. lmao 23:40 He looks like he's trying to hold something in his hands, but can't. It'd be hilarious if that was edited to show him holding a hamburger.

With the hindu demon villians that get protect themselves from anything outside of humans, he was very cocky and said "let Vishnu strike me down and see him tried *smug face*"

0:51 I am reminded of the time I ran into the true final boss of Nocturne. The elephant. Unfortunately for me I did not remember during the wild Elephants he repelled phys. The number of times I focus divine shotted myself nigh to death is beyond the number that it should be.

2:45 That's... extreme. 6:14 He just shows up, threatens his comrades, takes a swing at us, and leaves... 15:27 How in the heck does he force the demon to take over? 17:35 This looks like it could theoretically go on forever. 22:19 That Magnificent Bastard! 22:56 Beck: "The Arcana is the means by which ALL is revealed!" 26:41 Well, based on how you treat you own allies, you probably had that coming. 28:48 Intriguing. That would imply that all of them weren't nice people in their past lives. 30:41 She has a point. Sera creating an endless cycle of torment is contrary to everything we've seen of her. 31:10 Please tell me that one of those bosses isn't the Demi-Fiend. 31:36 Heat is the best Tsundere!

I been looking forward to this boss since my family does like talking about the Ramayana so I know a good amount about Ravana as well. Ravana performed penance for roughly 10,000 years and won boons from Brahma, the creator deity in the Trimutri, and one of these boons included the one that made him invincible to all of Brahma's creations, except humans. In the Ramayana, Ravana was causing harm to the Earth and this is where Lord Vishnu's seventh avatar, Rama, comes into play since he is a human. Rama wouldn't have it easy since near the beginning of the Ramayana, he was exiled from his hometown of Ayodhya alongside Ravana kidnapping his wife Sita. The vulture Jatayu would try to prevent Sita getting kidnapped but would die in the process. After a long and hard struggle, Rama would go to war against Ravana at Lanka with Rama teaming up with the monkey army of Vanara which included Hanuman, with Ravana commanding the Rakshasas. In the end, Ravana would be defeated after getting shot by many arrows from Rama and with Sita safe as well, Rama would return to Ayodhya and us Hindus celebrate this event with the festival known as Diwali. As my mum would tell me, the main thing to remember about Ravana in this story is arrogance since him being invincible blinded himself to the consequences of his actions and then, underestimating Rama's determination would lead to him losing in his battle. Ravana's importance is that he is a reminder that unchecked arrogance can lead to a person's downfall. Beck having Ravana is fitting as our last opponent in this war against the other colonies and the party overcoming his Hunger Wave while others couldn't might suggest he underestimated the determination of our party as well.

Some lore about Ravana, he is actually the reincarnations of the guards of Lord Vishnu's place Vaikunta called Jaya-Vijaya. One of the sages( i forgot their names) curses these Guards to reincarnate as bad people and get slain by one of the Avatars of Lord Vishnu or atleast something along those lines when they werent given audience wtih lord Vishnu.

I have never realized how silly this fight is here, it’s just the way Ravana puts his arms on his hips for hunger beam and the way Sera just comes in sings a song and leaves makes me laugh for some reason

Time for Colonel Beck to be called into battle! 6:24 For a moment I thought Beck was being referred. Do we call these guys Vice Commanders? 6:47 Nevermind it's Sergeant 13:22 You mean to say Colonel Beck could just push us around and might have a lightsaber?(Yes obvious Star Wars Joke is Obvious) 15:15 I had a feeling it was invisibility when he punched Serph and then it was confirmed when he choked Argilla but for a moment with Cielo I thought he actually was using some force 15:50 The precursor to the start of P5's Traitor breakdown 18:43 So he could let the winds of war bring snow 19:19 Hubris at some of its finest 20:30 And he doesn't seem to have eyes or any markings indicating them. So goes my idea with Bat and Mick 25:37 It happened with Bat as well, though I headcanon they were going to eat him before they came up with the leave him to witness the explosion plan 26:30 Because you were added later on! 29:58 Cat! I haven't seen you in a while! 31:05 It doesn't matter, now what happens! We will never, give up the fight! 31:44 Ah Heat. Trying to act like your all tough when you really care about the group.

also i should of said this back with Lupa, but i forgot about it; usually most takes on Cerberus being Fire Aligned, but DMC3 i think is the only time i have seen Cerberus be portrayed with Ice

0:08 Cute but dangerous, terrifying combination. 1:04 Yeah... the one downside of the press turn system: enemies can exploit it just as much as you can. And I wouldn't have it any other way. 2:52 That's... romantic, I guess. 6:13 WOAH, he's big! 12:10 Seriously!? The nerve of those things! 16:18 Finally, let's kick this guy's ass! 16:24 ...Well, so long as we can see his ass (oh god, that sounded way better in my head!). 16:34 You know, Ravana holds a special place in my heart, since back when I used to play Smite, Ravana was one of my mains, and man, was he fun to play as! 29:30 That was... weird. 30:32 And now, it all makes sense! 32:08 Well, there's a final dungeon if I've ever seen one.

Damn Varin went all out with plot dumping. And poor Heat and Sera damn that must be heavy. Especially the final twist. That boss was something. Ability to inflict hunger was something

26:25 Why, because you were added later in development, of course! 31:55 Now that's just rude, Heat; you know Serph can only communicate by staring blankly and assuming his meaning gets across.

This boss either causes severe semantics issues or is trivial depending on the challenge run done. 2:31 Deity Sati? You mean like Zeus and Odin in SMT5? 6:13 Oh wow that's a big elephant. 6:38 It literally ran in, smacked us, refused to elaborate and left. Beautiful. 14:36 Not the theatre physics! 15:33 He made him forget Personality, the nerve on him! 17:47 She starts being vague and eventually does pinpoint his location. So instead of eating your press turns, you could buff while Sera slowly tells you where he is. 20:16 I mean, that was a very fast fight, of course he'd have a second phase. 21:51 ...is lyrics. 24:51 Repels when the opponent is not inmune to their own element are really funny. 27:48 Oookay then i'm sure this holds absolutely no truth and he's just trying to make us fight each other. 31:38 You did your best Heat. 32:35 Darn taunting chest, we'll get our revenge and collect you some day. 34:44 Now our Serph portable Life Terminal is truly infinite. Next time, RPG rules strike once more as we go in the complete opposite direction to what the story wants us to go.

Time to finally face the Colonel. Props to the enemies from that first battle for being absolutely relentless, wow. 5:41 Slaps Belly, Commands you to DIE. 6:13 Behold, the almighty SERGEANT REPELEPHANT! Those who can’t handle his training will face the mighty belly slaps of death! 12:22 The room of the professional hater. It seems like Ravana’s first form is “LET’S GO GAMBLING!” the boss fight. 23:13 That is the pettiest regular attack animation I’ve seen an RPG boss have.

I keep on taking slight psychic damage whenever you say 'makunda', like, I know the other debuff skills have the -unda suffix, but the only vowels in makanda are 'a's

I feel like they could turn Girimekhala into a Squishmallow and people would buy it. CHOPCHOP ATLUS, JACK FROST, PYRO JACK, MOTHMAN, GIRIMEKHALA

Damn, we’re really getting into late g1 transformers with these boss forms, we’ve got both a Headmaster (Mick) and now a Pretender. Japan update: Just arrived in Kyoto

20:53 Yeah this looks almost like a derpy mascot. I will say the twist here is one of the first things I knew about the game but it never clicked with all the Hindu elements to me, somehow.

title should say varin/ravana/don't call him that he's a colonel, colonel beck. also the more turns you miss him, the more specific sera will narrow down his position for you.

i got suprised that ravana was in DDS as i recognized his name from the story of how Diwali was created

6:13 BigKlingy up against the BigJiggly 12:12 The nerve of some enemies to put Cielo to sleep before curfew 15:45 Bro thinks he's Akechi 20:48 Fun fact, this phase can be done with a Solo Human Argilla 29:10 Suddenly, Kingdom Hearts 2

I wish we could adopt Nidhogg Edit: Light shines on heaven! 31:42 This game does a great job at making me love and hate Heat on various levels.

Huh... Ravana is looking less bug like than when I last saw him... and he lost his four swords. :P For the curious, I'm referring to the Ravana featured in FFXIV Heavensward where he was a god of combat worshipped by a sentient species of bugs.

6:30- Looks like Demonee-Ho has some competition for having the drill sergeant insults. lmao 14:39- Going to be honest, kind of laughed at that a bit with how much he ragged doll there. That said, poor Cielo. 15:58- Oh no! Did, did he just trigger the berserk mode on Heat?! That's awful. Sera sing now please. (16:03- Thanks Sera.) 16:58- Dang it. They were smart about that. 18:21- MAN this is going to be an annoying boss fight... 21:35- Oh he's that boss with this skill! I remember learning about this skill from a video where someone hacked it onto themselves so they could use it on Demi. The results were amusing. 22:20- That would explain a lot. 22:31- That was the least energetic stab that I've seen in a game. lmao 28:05- Huh. That's interesting. But yeah, I can see why since it looks major revelations are about to be unlocked from it... 28:30- Klingy did not comprehend Gale's location. 31:41- Okay, Heat giving a friendship speech of sorts to only then cut back on it mid way to act like his usual jerk self is pretty good. lmao 32:57- Short indeed. We're only on Part 22 and Endgame is in sight already. That's quite short. In other news, made some more progress into Vengeance. After getting some stuff sorted, I've begun a new arc and already made some good progress, such as getting everyone's favorite healer from V, Idun, once I got high enough level to fuse her. And that's all before I really made major headway into the area I'm in. Going to be fun seeing what else I'll get access to soon.

20:46 When I saw the thumbnail for this boss, I thought it was a monster version of Monokuma from Danganronpa.

In nocturne Sati evolves into Parvati, she was my designated healer until I made a daisoujou

I never understood why Song of Grace only works on one ally. Like are the other Hunger-inflicted allies just conveniently deaf whenever Sera's not singing directly to them?

Neat

Null Ailment and/or Null Attack will be very useful for if you choose to fight Huang Long. One of his attacks, Celestial Ray, is Megidolaon and Vanity together in one move.

Cute but deadly Nidhogg dealt with, going to where Varin long ahead there.. Blue Node.. Huh.. Sati? Oh. That's nice for the end at least. (Rough background but endured.) All around done here, now to this of White Node.. Yeah.. Could be elsewhere what the Negative Energy was hiding.. Girim? ??.. Eh?! Whoa! Whoa! Chill there! 😅 That was... sudden.. Cool unique detail the best by far in the game. Comma Terminal.. Mantras & stuffs. OK.. Good. Life Terminal. Nice. The boss? Oh Varin.. Hmm.. Preparation firsthand. .. Seems nothing- ??.. !!... Yeah... Varin no doubt.. Eesh. No wonder of having a Hatred.. & sick of it all around.. (Not wrong of what he's interpreting earlier but still, for him, he's.. has to be put down..) What to throw a tantrum.. In this fight, he can't be underestimated.. He's very hellbent serious to put lot of them down entirely.. Something more than 1 to had a trick up his sleeve.. Hunger- Oh... Hmm.. Random.. This boss is much deadly compare to unique bosses.. (Sera? Oh. Thnx.. Needed that.) & he's down.. Indeed a luck based boss fight.. Hmm..... Girl? Cast?..... !!... Mmph!... So that's the truth.. ??.. !!... Huh... 🤨 Quite a troubling man but at least he gives a truth is something in Awe... (Wonder who or what did make it possible?)... & after the scene. Edit. Oof. Gale. Yikes. Door? ..... ??... Hm?.. Sera?.. The note?.. Oh guys. ?? That thing from earlier.. Hmm.... 🤔 .... 😨 .... Auugh... 😓 The choice.. Oh? Hmm.. I see.. 1st option best. Heat?.. Yeah... Haha.. Like the side. Ah Ciello. ?- !!... Whaa.. Whoa.... Aww.. Chest.. Oh well. Probably for the later time.. Final Dungeon.. Could be a lot difficult than the last.. Sera.. Hmm... I see.. (Heat's Tsundere? Lol.) Now all the tribes now to the Victor but some still on defiant to go other plan elsewhere.. Different optional area.. Terminals... ?? Oh.. Ooh. New items. Next bonus.. Not there yet.. Aww. Shots but hold on for things.. & buy some for needs of recovering ailments.. To the areas... till then..

I really hated the Karma Temple as a dungeon exactly because of its length. Overall I found the other dungeons really nicely paced and not overstaying their welcome and then suddenly a wild Karma temple appears. I know it is supposed to be the final dungeon and all but when it comes to dungeons in the same position it just always ticked me off haha! 😂 Can't wait to see if you can make it feel more manageable! But as for this episode THE SARGE IS HERE! I absolutely adore that little easter egg. It never made absolutely no sense to me, but man I love it whenever he shows up, one of my favourite little comedic reliefs in any SMT game out there. And man, RNGvana is always a pain, you got really lucky compared to how that fight tends to go for me. Haha! You were just able to nuke him out of orbit because Serph did not get hungered once.

2:47 Considering her origin story I would half expect her to use Ice amd be weak to Fire, it’s not like SMT hasn’t done that kind of joke before, Joan or Arc in any game she’s in as well as Yusuke in Persona 5 due to his Persona Goemon, The former was burned at the stake, the other executed by boiling water. 6:44 Looking it up, assuming United States Army ranks then the Giant Girimehkala was one of the Sergeant ranks, which would make him actyally a fair bit below Varin in rank, being an enlisted soldier rather than holding an Officer rank, While a Colonel is the fifth highest rank and the last one below the General ranks, 9:19 But assuming that you’re either going after post game bosses or grinding having one slot that does what 3-5 slots are doing normally would be ideal. And depending on what the boss use you might only need 1-2 20:58 Never did I expect Dead End from Beast Wars Neo to be referenced in a Bigklingy video. And funnily while Dead End is an obvious case since he turns into a shelled creature, but the Toyline he comes from was infamous for its large amount of Shellformers, so you could for example take off most of Big Convoy’s Beast Mode kibble off of him and have most of his Mammoth.mode Sp now that we have some of the context for what the Junkyard is, What I will say next has minor spoilers so don’t read further if you don’t want to be spoiled. Something I find very annoying is how they named their characters, while also having an out that could avoid this issue that can use. The rather on the nose named these characters have, those are the real names of these characters before dying, The issue is that the names used for the most part aren’t names in the real world, Serph has always been Serf and Heat always been named Heat, And since Atlus make heavy use of Urban Fantasy, either being set in the real world, a post apocalypse version of it or another world linked to it, Sometimes combining them, Hence giving the characters names that are given to regular people is something you would expect and helps sell the idea of being real world adjacent , Other games like Fire Emblem and the Trails games tend to have names that you wouldn’t expect someone in the real world to have, but they are a medieval fantasy and a world established to be a lot more distinct than our world so you wouldn’t expect naming conventions And then you have Varin Omega, who calls himself by a different more realistic sounding name, hence establishing that the names used in the Junkyard aren’t what their names in life where, that would be an opportunity to give the characters their very on the nose names and justify them as aliases. Like online handles, as my name isn’t a reference to a creature from a video game franchise that debuted in a game released over a decade after I was born, it’s a pseudonym I choose to go by. So Serph and Heat being handles or nicknames that Rio and Aiden used

I don’t believe Sarge does give more AP or EXP. Despite being statistically a new enemy. Though considering the devs probably didn’t plan on the player trying to slay him like this I don’t blame them for not making any changes. He is meant to be a punishment of sorts. Though all I hear when hearing Sarge is RVB specifically. ‘Shotgun! Shotgun damnit!’ And a certain speech in the Freelancer saga. Ugh Ravana. Hate these fights. Guess work and RNG fest. I have had it where Gale got stuck with hunger for pretty much a whole attempt because Sera would heal him last and then Varin would just put hunger back on. It got to the point Gale did eat his health away and I almost game overed. Conceptionally cool gimmicks execution wise they are not great

How fitting that Ravana makes everyone Ravanous amirite!? ahem I can't remember if you said something about this already or not but, will you be playing dds 1 and 2 back to back?

I think he has one the coolest demons tbh
