Some of the game's audio is weird here and there due to some issues with a false automated copyright claim on the in game audio (confirmed to be false by Larian and the copyright holder). The claim was resolved eventually but to avoid future problems I used a tool offered by youtube to remove the claimed music from the video while retaining the voice acting used in those portions.

Fun fact, within the fight on the ship you can teleport, fly, ect to the other ship and attack Dalis to force her to show she is a dragon knight and to instantly teleport the ship

As an older gamer who doesn't have the luxury of time. It can be months between sessions... this was extremely helpful as I completely forgot what happened in Act 1 - Thank you!

It's unfortunate that so few people make videos about this game but luckily the one video that summarizes the story is 10/10 Great vid!

great video, i can't believe that no one tried to explain the story before

I know im 3 years late, but man this game. One of the few that has 1. captured me into a story and actually read all the dialogue 2. felt something for the characters, and 3. made me question my descisions as good or bad. Truly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Also starting a second playthrough and not using the same characters feels so wrong too me but that just might be me

Just up to the Nameless Isle part; In my current game I fed the Sallow Man to Sebille and it revealed all the gods' alignments straight off. This game really does have great non-linearity!

I've got over 350 hours in DOS2 and never done a full playthrough so this has gotten me into gear to finish it and actuqlly learn wht's happening

“Hey there’s a tyrannical tree, trying to take over” 😂😂

I put this game down awhile back and was overwhelmed when I tried to pick it back up. Thanks for the recap!

I had no idea. I played (casually) until I escaped Ft Joy into the swamps. I thought that was the first act, and the whole gang was the island. I got bored and gave up, but after watching your video I’m playing from scratch to enjoy the full story.

This is the longest video i ever watched in full length! Great Work!

Beautifully done. Despite having played the game many many times I learned a lot and you really pieced it all together in a way that made sense.

You can also kill Raimond in the port of the black pits. He is in there with another white magister and two scource hounds guarding some black ring prisoners. That way you can use his letter to get around easier when you’re lower level.

Thanks a bunch for making this video!

Great video! Helps a lot to understand the gigantic universe of divinity. Tks for it!

Quick side note: In the cave of Mordus, at the point where you get jumped by the Voidwoken to get cocooned, it is actually possible to win the fight. The key is to avoid being in line of sight since their ability to cocoon requires seeing a character much like any ranged ability. I did so by utilizing one of the many steam summoning capabilities as I had 2 characters in my party, with Lone Wolf, who had specs and spells in the fire and water trees respectively and managed to do so in combination with smoke to keep my characters from becoming targetable. I am sure there was some luck involved in it but it is definitely possible. I believe there is a hole you can uncover with Wits that will appear so you can go into the dungeon proper after or before said fight. I found it after the fact.

The time and effort you put into this is incredible. Thank you!

Best DOS2 content on the internet. Trust me gym, I’ve looked around a lot.

Iam rly sorry to see people are not anymore into this masterpiece. GJ for the hard work on the video. Soon Baldur's gate will be ON and i hope u keep makin videos on Larian Studios games. Good luck with your channel! : ) I will check your next stuff for sure! : )

Love this channel and your approach to your videos! DOS is a fucking masterpiece, one of the greatest games out there. Can't wait for BG3

I'm so glad you made this video it's an easy and enjoyable way to understand more about the world of dos2 and it's lore Thank you for taking the time and effort to make it 🙂 much appreciated 👍

My hope is that source for all is the canon ending, because Lucian getting away with all his terrible choices just doesn't feel right. Also we do see blessed surfaces, and other source related things in Divinity: Fallen Heroes pre release material.

Holy shit - you fucking killed it. This video is GREAT! Thank you for putting it together!

I love these lore videos! I went back and watched DOS1 supercut and I enjoyed it a lot, thank you!

It took me 2 playthroughs to understand whats happening- I love this game. i don’t wanna leave Rivellon

Geez I had over 8 playthroughs of this game and still your video shows things I never knew about, goes to show how delicate and well-made this game really is. Thank you for this great video, makes me want to replay the game again.

Found your channel while looking for opinions on "Tyranny", and ended up getting it. Now, I spent 5 hours watching your Divinity Lore videos...go figure that out lol... I appreciate the effort you put in your content and will stick around to see your channel getting the audience it deserves, cheers!

Great and thorough video! I had gotten to Act IV and trailed off the game for a year and a half. This was a perfect recap before jumping back in to finish the game.

Excellent synopsis of such an epic story!

Thank you for the kraken fight guide.

This is the magnum opus of this channel. I just played this for the first time today for 10 hours straight. Time to finish the night with this video. Time to get comfy

AMAZING VIDEO!! Subscribed because of it

This is awesome! Just finished the game for the first time and since it took 200+ hours over about a month I couldn't really track the whole story. I love all the details and how rich this game is, it also really makes you feel like you're choices matter (whether they do or not).

I’ve never played this game and now I must. Thank you.

Your work is quite terrific Sir. Keep up the fine job..

Never have I underestimated a game so much. I went in fully believing that I would probaly not like the game because of the top-down turn-based combat, only to end up absolutely loving it, so much so that it has made me want to play other top-down turn-based crpgs. This game reminded me to give games that are outside my usual comfort zone a chance.

Best DOS2 content on the internet. Trust me gyz, I’ve looked around a lot.

me seeing him leave the gold cup on the ship: *Intense screaming*

My most favourite game of all time. It is such a delight to play (although, I tend to skip the fort joy part via mods nowadays) and I love the depth of exploration. I found so many interesting things (most amazing being the candle room and Lohses song...). I am currently waiting for BG3 to be fully released. Hope this will fill the void DOS2 left.

Wtf how does this guy only have 44k sub he's damn good!

just finished my first playthrough and came to realize how much I've missed! Never met windego after the prologue, and despite getting the swornbreaker, no one could use it. Thanks for filling the gaps. Such a fun game

Such an incredible video, I love it! Only thing(s) I really found wrong were that you might’ve missed some alternative options at certain points in the story. One being that you don’t have to fight the magisters guarding Meistr Siva, you can bypass them via persuasion checks.

1:00:00 even easier way to win the fight is to cast cryo stasis on him which makes him invincible and also skips his turns so he never uses source to summon voidwokens. Then just kill the 3 magisters

Love yr work man! keep it up yr awsm!!!

dude... amazing video

It shames me. I played DoS and DoS in co-op with a friend til the end, but I needed your vid's to actually understand these stories fully. They were just too much for me. :( So thanks a lot!

I love this game best CRPG i've played yet.

I love how a lot of the fights are "its a bit difficult or a pain" lol

I'm kinda disappointed that there isn't a bunch of "Lucian did nothing wrong" comments

Okay, I appreciate this video because I'm one of the players who couldn't get through the game myself. I know these are just excuses, but I needed to look up solutions to the puzzles. Ultimately, I could not get past the difficulty spike in act two when you go to the mines. Thank you for the storybook version of this game. I can only hope that if the title you mentioned that was put on hold does come out, these issues will be addressed.

played this game three times still love vid after all these

man I love your voice, it's so nice to listen to you talk. amazing video with a shit load of effort put into it!

*RPG of the generation*

Loved the video i finished the game but missed alot lol

My friend and i just finished the game yesterday. That was such an adventure. We tried to do alot of the puzzles blind but we screwed up and ate lord arhu and didnt get the "POWER" hint in room of death. Spent over 2 hours trying to figure out that crap and had to google it :( Had a blast finishing it :)

A vid like this for BG3 would be incredibly awesome

Thaks for this. Great video

Great video!

A bit late but if you are playing a Undead character you can make a pact with the God King at the Academy and become sworn. Potentially making you a 5th in need of a Sworn breaker if Fane also becomes sworn

Thanks for doing this, I liked the game but hated the system of making builds/chars/skillbooks but wanted to know how it all ends

Im a huge BG3 fan, but man is it hard to actually force myself to love this game. I tried to play it like 3 different times in different months, and quit each time. So i decided ill just watch this 3 hour video about the story instead of playing it myself.

Currently trying to do all the side quests before I move on to act 3. Really enjoying this game so far 30 hours in and 34 percent of all the trophies

A friend and me are on a third play through. 1. one was normal with Fane and custom, Sebille and Red Prince as companions. We were confused by the story, but loved the game. Fane released the Ethernals. 2. one was a lone wolf duo playthrough, with the indent to make anything better. Lohse and Beast, no companions, tactician mode. I don't remember the ending, but the story was still confusing. Now we are at our third one: Murdor hobos. Don't ask, just kill. Only one source point, malady dies at Arx (whoops), no one is alive. Obvisiouly we are not interested in the story any more. We are more intrigued how far we can become just straight killing everyone. Targuin, Gareth , Jahan and many many many more - all dead a few moments after they meat us. We are now at Arx and we are planning to release the Deathfog. Your video helps a lot! We are still confused by the complex and ever changing story, but the video explain some details. We are planing a fourth play through. Highly modded. Damn, what a good game. Every playthrough there is something new.

Giving everyone the ‘blessing’ of source is in my opinion the best choice to make for the future of Rivellon. There will always be power struggles within a world of mortals. There will always be bloodshed, strife, sickness, hunger, and turmoil within a world of mortals. However, I think it is highly likely that an abundance of source will help Rivellon overcome some of the suffering that would be guaranteed without it, such as hunger and disease. In addition to the fallibility of the mortal existence, I believe that bestowing the denizens of Rivellon with source will give them the ability to repel the void and its servants, if such a threat were to ever reappear. I can’t say that the world would be at total peace, but I have to believe that if push came to shove, the source infused mortal races of Rivellon would put their differences aside, band together, and use their combined source powers to repel any foreign magical threats. Peace is possible in world filled with source!! In my heart I believe that :) Plus, let’s face it, the world would be so boring without source ;P

The ancient tree makes me think of a hist tree. Sentient, ancient and dangerous.

One of the best RPGs ever, only nitpick is I wish the combat was faster paced; animations for casting take so long

Underrated video

Really like your content and hope this channel becomes even more popular. Constructive criticism, I wish you wouldn't use "actually" and "basically" as often as you do. Hope I don't come off as rude. All the best!

1h 32 mins. I used Spirit vision after defeating Alexander. I convinced him to help us & he told me the order of the statues to open the academy. Its also an interesting conversation where he proves (to me anyway) that he isn't a bad guy.

A shame their is no Beast, Fane or Ifan Ben-Mezd ending tiles

I know this video is rather old at this point but you mention some links to videos in the description but there arent any linked there.

Tarquin is also one of the best traders in act2 and the only one ive found that sells runes and frames in act2

Telekinesis is great for winning the ship fight while protecting Malady- make a nice heavy chest by filling an invincible chest from the Fort Joy and filling it with crates, sacks, etc. You'll one shot every enemy- its so satisfying

At 2:04:00 can you drain source from the tentacles to insta-kill them?

This makes me want to play this again after i tire of bg3 in a few months

I have loads of yard work to get done. Thank you for this ! Wrath of the righteous soon ?

I never agreed to Lucian's ploy to surrender my source as I though it was so foolishly naive that it was probably braccus' influence or something. Never knew it let you skip phase 1 lol. With how absolutely nuts you could be in that fight with apotheosis and skin graft it wasnt that much of a speed bump compared to unweakened doctor demon from earlier. As for the ending itself I felt that sealing away source was a whole another pandoras box and if it backfired the world would be completely defenseless against the void. Redistributing source or becoming the new divine seemed like the good endings to me but for a continued narrative Lucians plan has more potential and less loose ends so cant blame them for making that one canon.

For the power source u can use electric magic to substitute for it

Is this really supercut? thank for detail

Possible lore question, but are ‘true’ wizards like Zandalor born, or can someone train to become a wizard that powerful and long lived?

Just one thing, If you choose to support the Sallow Man as any character, and you kill alexander and let the sallowman live, you can join the Voidwoken as any character.

1:17:07 not only red dragons, the ice dragon too it is a lizard.

keeping those algorithms happy...

I can’t believe you only took 20 minutes to cover act1. it took me 20 hours to finish.

Watched it thru - I have a save before going off to the source-island. As seen the ending choices, I think my ideal ending would be: I am the nice undead chap Fane. He would let his fellow eternals back, and work on restoring them into voidless form. Sharing source seems a good idea too. He wouldn't let the King back, not only because leaders always responsible for everything, but he personally hates him for the actions against their family. Our late dead God - Lucian - would accompany him into the Void, of course, as we aren't cruel. As doG Almighty he would appoint his companions as lesser goDs to spheres of faith instead of races, the mad singer girl, the lone wolf, the dwarf, according to their life-philosophies. He'd resurrect his daughter, and if she behaves good, purges all source from the world for her on her 18000th birthday, if she still wants it. Let her decide maturely.

great video

Watched just the beginning for now but certainly plan to watch the whole thing. Story for me was hard to track. Doesn't help that it took me 3 years to finish the game

Let's gooo!!

Braccus rex is like diablo.... So many games never dies

if you have the idol of rebirth you can actually take the ferry to bloodmoon island, you and your party will die but then you will immediately revive

I honestly did not know about the whole Gydian summoning the viodwoken. Keeping that idiot alive was nearly impossible on my play through. Some sourcerer's just use their powers dumbly and I didn't realize we could save his ass and us the terrible of fighting all those blobs

Gwydian died in my playthrough but Hannag still helped me? Not sure if that's a bug for me or an error on your part. I wouldn't recommend learning from Hannag though because it removed my Pet Pal ability which really annoyed me.

LOL I was able to beat Dallis by climbing the wall to the right of the fort entrance, avoiding her and leveling up. Then I set up barricades of barrels and attacked Dallis from above. She teleported up but I swarmed her and took her out. Unfortunately her hammer was a major disappointment.

The deathroom was killing me ok my fourth try i just ran to barrier and shimmyd a teleport pyramid through it and got through havent seen that online when i was looking

What happen if you dont sent war owl to Arx, in theory due to this paladins will kill all magisters? (is there way to not inform paladins about magister-black ring "things" in black pits)

Sooo I have a question Why isn't Lucian a silent monk after the purge-ending? Wouldn't he have to give up his source aswell?

Well here goes my next three hours

Why do you have 8 maximum action points?

I wish Tarquin's item didn't get nerfed into uselesness
