109th Marle Does Things - Darkest Dungeon II rewrite [Look under the cut!]
Hi everyone!
For this 109th Marle Does Things, I am happy to present nothing less than a whole fan rewrite of Darkest Dungeon II, where the player gives up on the heroes' side and joins the dark forces led by Marle Clef de Nuit! It's time to unmake what the heroes did!
This rewrite (that is unfortunately not a mod...), lets you replay a quite twisted version of the Confession mode, where you play the enemies of the base game along with Marle Clef de Nuit's army. On the other hand, you will try to help the commanders bring their Infernal Flames to the Mountain to draw the look of the goddess on the Kingdom for a satisfactory final chapter where you incarnate an evil that is far too much powerful!
Of course, as you play the villains in the story, some major mechanics are tweaked... Stress is replaced by Frustration, nodes are also dramatically tweaked and bosses are replaced by Radiant and Max. Radiant heroes!
This rewrite is divided in 7 chapters. In the six first chapters, you incarnate the commanders in order to get their Infernal Flames to the Mounatin and use their power to invoke the Superfinal Cheater... And in the last chapter, you play as the goddess herself to put an end to any form of hope in a great finale of explosive and cheating power!
Now, it's time to show the battle scenes for each chapter and the stats of the commanders [that represent their status at the beginning of each battle, so each token listed is gained at each time a battle begins]!
In the first chapter, you play as Big Waddle Dee... It's an introduction to this rewrite, so radiant and Max Radiant heroes are rare (appearing only at Hero Ramparts). It's perfect to get a grasp on what is going on!
His current underlings are two spearmen.
Once you got the first Infernal Flame to the Mountain, you'll be able to play as Théodore Noise. It's finally time for the player to be introduced to the full mechanics of this rewrite... Max. Radiant heroes finally appear in the last fight... Be careful, and you better mean buisness!
His current underlings are firemouths.
For the third chapter, you will play as the epitone of darkness: Dark Bowser EX! The difficulty will be slightly higher as Radiant heroes tend to show up more, but you should be able to bring his Infernal Flame to the Mountain with a little strategy!
His current underling is a Lost Soul
The fourth commander you will play as is Pizzaface! His journey will be longer and there will be 2 Max. Radiant heroes at the end... It seems they noticed that the army is a threat, and you have to face their reaction... Bringing his Infernal Flame to the Mountain will be difficult, don't let loses get you!
His current underling is a Carrion Eater
Now, with four Infernal Flames on the Mountain, it's time to help the fifth Commander to bring her own: Kasane Teto! Drill through the hopes of the Kingdom with her braids... And their tears will be your bread! Though... Radiant heroes start to be legion... And you still have two Max. Radiant Heroes for the last fight! The Chimera will have to be careful and keep her forces for the last fights!
Her current underlings are two drummers.
For the last Infernal Flame to bring to the Mountain, you will incarnate Toad Ténébreux! The Darkest Toad is the first one to have joined the goddess, and is her second-in-command... It's normal he's the commander who will have to face the most difficult journey, with nearly one Radiant Hero at each fight and three Max. Radiant heroes at the last fight, this chapter will be tough! Though, Toad Ténébreux is a real powerhouse... If you don't play mindless, you should get to the Mountain mostly safely.
His two underlings are two Evangelists.
And as the six Infernal Flames reached the Montain, the goddess will answer the call... For the very last chapter, you'll be able to play as the one who has been a boss in lots of entries of this series: Marle Clef de Nuit! Her journey will be inverted, you start at the Mountain to invade all the Kingdom! Maybe the fact that all heroes become Radiant and even Max. Radiant for the last fight sounds fearful... But don't forget who's power you have: The Superfinal Cheater. This chapter will pose absolutely no difficulty... It's a satisfactory one!
After all, you have to lose so much runs with heroes... You had to rage to the Bossess of the Confessions... Killed the Body of Work... Teidiously brought six Infernal Flames to the Mountain... It's time to appreciate your reward... And annihilate any opposition!
Look at the hundreds of damage you shove into heroes while you take nearly only zeroes!
Also, Marle Clef de Nuit has five sets of skills, one for each of her actions (hence why the action marks all have different colors under her Heart Points jauge)!
No need for any underling with the cheating power of the goddess!
Maybe you saw this shadowy figure in the background... It's here to remind to the Superfinal Cheater that she's not alone...
And finally, as a little treat, here are two extras, a closeup on Marle Clef de Nuit and the Max. Radiant heroes she fights!
Well, that was an enmormous Marle Does Things, hope you like it!
