you know they got the 40k aesthetic right when surviving for 10 mins alone is impressive

*"My armour is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. In the Emperor's name, LET NONE SURVIVE."* - Imperial Saint Alaric, Blade of the Emperor's Will

Her: Why don't you ever give up ? Me: Because he never did...

So I believe what we witness was a named character go through a training arc.

Zealot Alaric, if youre in this comment section. You are HIM. JOHN DARKTIDE.

He's not running a martyrdom build, you can tell by the lack of wound curios. Also its probably not a solo build considering that he's running a support ability, which makes it more impressive.

The emperor does protect, he uses that guy

Least Emperor-blessed zealot:

heretics: "hehehe we outnumber them 200 to 1, all that's left is this fanatic loyalist, this gon be easy" The Emperor: *"No."*

I soloed a Beast of Nurgle and 1.5 hordes as a psyker on Heresy last night after the rest of the team died, but that feels like nothing to this.

Once it happened the same, we all died in auric in a middle of the mission, and this ogryn survived for 10 minutes straight totally alone against multiple hordes of enemies and a chaos spawn. We were bamboozled, it was like watching the emperor himself.

A true chad, and the song choices for the segments were amazing

Alaric is a true servant of The Emperor. The Bell of Lost Souls will definitely ring out for him.

Your friend leaving and getting that bot then it getting down was hella clutch too

I like to imagine the crew of the Mourningstar all gathered around the Mission Terminal map with a live feed of the events, watching in awe as they witness a Zealot channeling the power of the God Emperor Himself.

With an adrenaline rush like that, dude will probably never feel the same again.

Apparently, this Bug where people are spawned in the very start of this level happens quite often. This has happened to me once before, and it was another freakin' legendary Zealot that managed to pull this shit through, and solo the final part..

Alaric... The name even daemonhosts flinch from.

I love moments in games like this where your the last one standing fighting to resurrect the rest of your team, feels so good when you pull it off too and the messages from your team cheering you on :P

He praised the Emperor for strenght, and the Emperor answered.

you know this can carry a team because he can carry those gigantic balls

Reminds me of this one guy in a mission. Malice, only level thirty in the group was a speed zealot named Crack User. Almost saved the entire run alone before he got cornered by like, 15 maulers

I wish my randoms were like that...

Damn Alaric kicked ass even before he was a Grey Knight

5:00 I love how he is swiping with the swing to get that arc juuust a bit wider. His heart had to have been RACING

“BLOOD FOR THE GOD EMPEROR, SKULLS FOR HIS GOLDEN THRONE” - Alaric, probably

Mad RESPECT for this guy!

THE EMPEROR HATH DECREED "NO."

They didn't know they were playing with an actual hero of the Imperium.

Having experience being that guy in the party, $100 says he was high enough he probably didn't know he was completely alone for the first 2 minutes, then his adrenal gland secreted all over itself. That was beatiful to watch!

there goes another unsung hero of the Imperium.

Moments like this are what we play horde games for. That amazing feeling of being the rock fighting against the tides, mowing down enemies from all directions in a last-ditch attempt to save the mission and your team members.

These are the moments that keep me in missions even when the sh*t hits the fan hard. I've been witness to a couple moments like this before & even when they've ended in tragic deaths, it's always been an absolute blast to watch. Stressful AF though when its all up to you. 😂❤ That zealot did his job that day, & now record of his deeds go on to bolster the faith of the Emperor's forces all across Tertium! ✊️

His holy light shined that day. Praise be to the god emperor

I promise you he's not running a martyrdom build with only 2 wounds lol

Damnnation Twins Assassination. Im playing as a Psyker and my whole team is down or dead. I survived for 4 minutes straight by timing slides, popping shields to deal with the 5 maulers chasing me, and throwing void blasts at the gun twin. Clutch of the century

We've just witnessed the Darktide incarnation of Sly Marbo

Zealots are just built different. Like literally. Fatshark made them so OP. Someone must love this class over there.

Through the Emperor's will, all things are possible

For future reference, if you're ever either (1) downed where someone can't save you (e.g. netted and everyone else already dropped down a ledge) or (2) if you respawn somewhere you can't get rezzed, there's actually a "work-around". If you close the game, your bot will teleport back to the other players. Then when you relaunch the game, you'll get a prompt to reconnect to the match you got "disconnected" from. When you rejoin, you're back with the squad because that's where your bot ended up after teleporting. Obviously, there's no point in doing this towards the end of the match, and if you the match finishes before you rejoin you don't get any credit. If it's early in a match though, I've found it to be useful (especially with friends).

THE EMPEROR IS WITH THIS ONE!

He is the real Warhammer 40k

Had a similar experience. Team comp wasn't working together very well, (I.E. Everyone had gone down multiple times within 5ish minutes). Low and behold, just me, my flamer, and eviscerator pulling off the only clutch and saving the rescuing the team. It felt like forever, (the only time a pve game had me shaking) got mad praise from the team. Just for one guy to INSIST on grabbing a grimoire, ultimately doom us.

Ultra giga mega chad right there

Turns out when you know the game mechanics, you test out your builds, and you build skill to play with, instead of listening to absolutely clueless redditors or virtually every utterly clueless youtuber, you get obscenely effective builds and players that can get really, really goddamn good at the game as a result of having a build that _works_. Great job. Nice work. I know how rough that is to need to go into hypermode.

I swear, this game has so much potential! If only there was more to do maybe we'd see some greater retention. Don't get me wrong, SOME content drought is great for the long-term health of the game and we've seen some great steps in the right direction with- for example- the class reworks, but I simply do not think it is enough. Darktide could probably benefit a lot from things such as seasonal content or some kind of periodic updates or content releases. Maybe they could even do something akin to the Helldivers' global campaign where the entire player-base contributes to war against chaos on Atoma. Especially with things like specific global milestones that might unlock new areas or change mission modifiers.

These are the kind of moments that my ogryn lives for. No little 'uns left behind!

could swear I've played with you and hugot before, I recognize the names

I can sense the sweat from that guy.

That guy leaving, was a real sacrifice, and saved all of you 😭

as a zealot main it makes me happy to see another zealot going nuts with the class, also edit to add the fact that he was high af and just casually clutched

I've had the occasional comeback save where the team was downed. But never for that long, and not Auric!

I don't play Darktide. That was a great experience.

I just want to say. It is absolutely refreshing to see someone actually stay after they die.

oh those of little faith

You won't get cool clips like this but when you get spawned in the wrong area, close the game. When you start it up again it will ask it you want to reconnect to the game you were disconnected from, click ok and you be spawned in the right area. I had to do this once and it worked. Just be sure not choose quit match or you won't be able to reconnect.

I play this game only for these moments. Can't say i survived for 10 minutes but clutching solo for a minute or two with friends in discord is the best feeling in the world.

Big E's favourite son right there.

Bro, he probably was part of the solo run vermintide groups lol

The emperors weakest zealot

The Emperor protects

the smash reference @3:49 was frame 1 top tier.

when i play Zealot i almost always end up being the last one alive, but i managed only once to clutch a triple rescue, the rest i just died :))))

This is why zealot is my favorite. If you are in the groove then you are unstoppable, if not then one bad spot of fire can ruin it.

That actually inspires me to to as a support tank zealot

Truly he is one of the God Emperor's chosen, THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!!!

The emperor protects

This video needs to blow up and Warhammer needs to make a story about this guy

Man literally said "Fine I'll do it myself"

I had similar achievement as an Ogryn just not on the same difficulty. My whole team went down in the rod room so I had to survive for a bit until they could be rescued. Then I put my back to the corner near them and planted my shield, when I saw a decent opening I chucked a cluster grenade box to stun enemies so I could get one of my teammates up and the rest followed soon after. We eventually made it out of the room and finished the mission.

Wow this is amazing. I have no F-ing idea what is happening. I didn't know this game was like a damn destiny raid. Never even seen the game before. I love Warhammer 40k for the space marine aesthetic but know nothing about it so I'm so lost. Still watched. This is sick

this is who all zealot mains aspire to me

Bro is the main character

7:30 look at the flying heads lol

He truly became Warhammer 40k

Always remember First The Emperor Protects and Second Innocence Proves Nothing

slymarbo moment

The relic has saved a run more times then I can count. Had one last night T4 of the vault and twice everyone died but me and that relics stagger and over shield is a lifesaver

As soon as you pick up that heavy eviscerator, you become the protagonist.

You all got fortunate to have a goddamn lucifer black in your lobby

I'm like a month late but that Zealot lived up to the damn class name!

He was simply listening to Free Bird.

Marco is the underdog if he didn't leave the bot would spawn you guys closer W's though😂😂😂😂

Pretty much why Zealots my favourite class. I havent yet seen a vet, psyker or ogryn be able to carry a match to the extent Zealots can.

Heretics: "we have you outnumbered 200 to 1. Have you any last words?" Gigachad: "200 to 1? Should have brought more"

bro i have zero knowledge about this game but i was on the edge of my seat the entire time that was sick

Ahhhhhhhhhh my anxiety.... what a legend

Dude's just got that dawg in em

I’m late to this masterpiece but to quote Darth Vader; “all I am surrounded by is fear and dead men” cause that’s exactly what was going through his head the whole time

Damn.....For the Emperor!!!!!!!🎉

For the Glory of the Emperor.

*all your team mates die* Gigachad: "finally, a fair fight"

POTHEADS ON DARKTIDE WILL BE THE ONES TO SAVE THE FIRETEAM i can not say this enough

Many fall in the face of chaos. But not this one. Not today.

Killing Floor 1 Berzerker veterans are tough f^cking nuts to crack. And i say it cause i am one. Solo aurics make me feel like im playing doom 2016 on ultra nightmare with pistol only. Love this shit.

Basically, the most prime way to play Zealot, is with the Bonk Stick, Bolter, and Flame Nades. The only time you are ever using the Bolter is vs Snipers and Gunners. The Mace of Waste, the Bonk Stick Crusher, not the hammers. It's block sweep attack is so fast and you can spam it endlessly to clear mobs. It has so much stagger, it can soft lock the Crushers and keep them from attacking. Mutants aren't a threat as long as you're near a wall. They will pick you up, making you temporarily invulnerable, and yeet you through hordes, so they're actually helping. You only use a Fire Nade to keep dogs off of you, if you aren't confident you can time the block push to knock the dogs back, or when you have so many things rushing you that you need a minute to think straight.

well if you see a psyker with the black hood with black glasses, you know he has soloed a boss on 2nd highest diff ^^ but still, always nice to watch someone being protected by the emperor

I'm so high was the perfect period on the whole ordeal

I legit have a zealot loadout inspired by Alaric in this video. It's actually *really* good at crowd clear. Only really struggles with multiple crushers or ragers in your face.
