I encounter this daily.

where you have to avoid his skeleton you could barely kill while he runs around trying to smack you with his hammer, which dealt down to half health damage. Great fun.

@@bufan7177 This fight teached me a lot. Being able to do the lab without getting hit once is so gratifying

Are you sure? I feel like the first lab is always very easy (unless you meant HC league). Danger arises in the last lab/s where the half hp hits suddenly one shot even seasoned tanks out of the blue.^^

@@reviewreaper8508 I think he is talking about it when it first came out. Shit was a lot clunkier back then, even normal lab is dangerous.

I'ts main reason why i back to POE after 6 years. And this track was in my memory all the time

The Guide led the Warrior down a path That wound and twisted Through fields of blossoming promises. Green-bladed hopes. The Warrior closed his eyes. A mere moment To feel the warmth of the sun on his back, And to drink from the Guide's proffered flask. Now the Warrior staggers and crawls Down the wounded, tortured causeway. The bitterness stings his weeping eyes. The fire roars in his belly, Consuming him. The Warrior will not ascend. Instead he hunts. Guided by his love for Ezomyr.

Ascend with precision

apparently, this is the ending you deserve *smashes keyboard*

"It is the sovereign who empowers the scepter, not the other way around"

Hesitation is defeat

Pity the emperor who sits alone on his throne.

Determination overcomes domination! This is the one law of sovereignty!

An emperor alone is just a man.

when i hear the start my heartrate gets higher... had a "situation" this league where both my carry friends died and i (cursebot) was left in the second Izaro fight midway alone.... and i only had a 2 Curse supported bane as damage I had NO damage notes from tree and had negative resistances in UBER ... spend 15 minutes dodging everything in the last fight (i got out of the second fight and somehow made it through the lab) 15 minutes... i was shaking after I did it... BUT i was the first out of my friends to get His ascendency that league...and i felt like a god

@@Smarackto You were indeed a worthy successor then! Hats off to you!

@@tibik.8407 thanks .. i was really proud of myself

@@Smarackto The ending you deserved.

@@Smarackto Such resilience!

Yes, Michael Hurst has a great voice!

@@ArturFlintchannel Jolaos? :O

@@M1CH43L0L I don't get your message, though T-T

"Complex machinations converge to a single act of power"

personally Caldera of the King blows this theme out of the water, also Avarius theme.

@@woodwyrm take a look on aTensions awesome work... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc18jcJzqbWXfaM.html

that's the purpose of the soundtrack, to not distract the player and instead just set the _right_ mood

Why he says that on the first encounter is beyond me.

he actually says "O, the weary traveller drows close to the end of the path"

It's trash talk. Basically saying "end of the road, punk".

More like Ohhhhhhh~~~

So...what exactly is the point of HC? Other than complaining about it,I mean.

@@tunnar79 The thrill. And the bragging rights.

@@tunnar79 Glory

I wondered the same and finalky tried it out.. much better experience. You are forced to pay mire attention to the game yiur build, your drcisions, gearing, everything. And it feels good when you succeed. Fresh break from the endless mindless and in the end pointless currency grind. For me as an intermediate poe player, I'd say, HC is a learning opportunity and a challenge of "how far can I go"? This league I managed to get to yellow maps, but I got unluckily oneshot. I agree poe is frustrating, too many random oneshot unexplainable deaths. But the benefits are there as well, try it out really if you have at least some grasp of the game.​@@tunnar79

+Sir Zestiny Wow Sir, you are fast, just uploaded a couple of minutes ago :D I hope youll enjoy

+Laï Kuan Ti fort boyard

Fucking sword shockwave

What a rotten way to die.

"Justice has been served. "

Come on is not that hard. All Izaro's attacks are telegraphed first

@@ubelmensch I went Necromancer for my first run. I am a glass shell surrounded by Flesh, Bone, and Spirits! (Haven't died yet, but came close a few times. I can take exactly 1 hit without dying. xD)

+Sunny Lu I don't have a good enough rig to play hardcore. Also, I play far too recklessly and carelessly to play HC at the moment. I don't like to lose a whole character because my computer seized for two seconds or whatnot. So what I do is try to make it to level 90 or w/e without a death. Usually, that fails miserably on my first character, but that's fine =P.

+Ilyak1986 Absolutely nothing wrong with playing in Softcore and going for as less deaths as possible.

Izaro is my favourite Enemy/Boss by far. Great character design imo

Right click video, click on "Loop", enjoy.

@@darkzona1 there was the longer on here before, someone took it down.

I got a shirt of this quote

фига у вас весело было))

He learned from that, too bad that Izaro is forever trapped and damned by his own creation. Izaro is one of the characters that I love learning about, his story reminds me a fair bit of Marcus Aurelius and his son, where Marcus was a fairly competent ruler and is heir was.... less so and devolved the Roman Empire into a mess for a time. Turns out that sometimes, no matter how you design your tests to weed out those incapable, the worst always seem to grab power.

Just a straight fight avoiding his AOE's too... Too many fights involve 'you stand here and die' mechanics... Most all games seem to do that these days. Just a way to make it harder, even if you have sufficient gear/decent skill.

Hours of law study say NOOOOO!

Not the other way around!

+rhodan74 the first two fights are fine. The THIRD fight is a hot mess because 90% of the room is a deathtrap, and the other 10% is left for Izaro to corner you in.

I got myself teleported to trap and then Izaro shot me on merciless. It was truly anticlimactic, and I stared the screen for several minutes.

+Lacne Grimm it most certainly does. And then some.

Definitely. Current last boss is cakewalk compared to this.

Try it this days ;-)

Fuck lmao

imo it’s just fun, he has some good lines (some of which are probably taken from somewhere), and more importantly, exceptional voice acting to deliver those lines
