Please do. Very fun seeing Divinity videos since I myself dont have the game.

love your dedication to larian games i love them too ^^

[@ThePsiGuard]

The Hero tag thing blew my mind. I love Larian for putting stuff in the game that only a few people will even see.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Really surprised me that it isn't on the wiki, and google searching for it doesn't show up. I had it in my memory from years ago

[@MrParadux]

Yeah, that was quite the revelation. I have played the game a lot and finished it multiple times, but I never knew about that. That's amazing

[@runtergerutscht4401]

It gets better: If you have the villain tag but not the hero tag, have 6 persuasion and chose to release the deathfog on arx, you can also persuade Bracchus to quit. Given that you don't fight anyone this or the other way but Dallis and Lucian still let you decide the world's fate, I imagine that your magnificient speech awed them into letting you just do whatever you want.

That's pretty amazing that you can get to the end of the game and just be like, "Give up! I'm a Hero who's hands are free of blood and sin, you don't stand a chance!" and the BBEG just folds.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Yeah there’s even a different end game slide for this ending too. He just basically decides to never show up again it says. The dude was happy to be content as a normal guy maybe 😂

It's somehow not even listed on the wiki for the game. It's so obscure.

@@ProxyGateTactician incredible

[@sheaponders3740]

Always love to see more DoS2 appreciation in the world! It always surprises me that 7 years after playing the game, I'm still learning about new dialogue. That was the first time I've seen someone walk the path of blood organically without hirelings + watch Vredeman just give up. Cheers :D

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Yeah that Vredeman thing isn’t even on the wiki which was surprising to me. I remember reading about it on Reddit like 2 years ago

[@TheLordDracula]

Holy shit. That ending. Thank you for your time sacrifice and also to Larian for putting that in the game.

[@coffechipmunk2108]

I just watched the video at 2000x speed, great stuff as always!

[@ProxyGateTactician]

lol thanks

[@jayrobitaille2402]

Probably like < 1% of players got that pure buff. Good job. I did not even know it was a thing and thought the Toymaker was the only real way forward.

[@quandao2277]

A cheap way to get past that is just to get a Hireling, any fresh new Hireling. They instantly pass the Pure test and get you into the tomb. I don't think they can get you past the final fight with the Hero+Pure+Pursuation route though.

[@orionweiss5418]

Pretty sure he cheated the path of blood. He show'd himself stealing on his first character, so I doubt he didn't on the second. And stealing disables path of blood

[@futhington]

@@orionweiss5418 Nah if you look on the left any time he's pickpocketing it's with Fane, and the bit where he shows a character stealing while explaining the Path of Blood is from some other playthrough.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I never stole on the first character. Every single time I stole was using fane and that was very purposeful. I don’t cheat in my videos.

2:26 best punchline ever

[@Isnogood12]

Yeah, Proxy was _vicious_ with his jokes this vid!

[@TheEvdiggity]

Fane feigning death is a good one. Also the little part with your character sleeping and you editing in footage for his dream was cute. Creative little touches like that are awesome. Your ability to come up with these runs and then somehow find a way to complete them, while having it all edited and narrated in a concise, entertaining and insightful way truly makes you the champion of gaming champions. To be honest I would not have minded if the video was a little longer and more detailed but I understand that everyone has their own preferences for that sort of thing and you must have been quite eager to get the video out after completing such a daunting run. Well done!

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Yeah I know what u mean I always have my first cut around 20-25 min and edit out a lot because in the end it’s kind of boring to watch me sneak past enemies 30 times in different areas or pickpocket everyone forever. Try to avoid too much repetition in what is happening but maybe I’ll try making longer ones in the future to see if people like it more. I get a lot of requests for it

[@po3lio]

Loving DoS 2 content especially after bg3 release

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I had wished I'd done content on that game for years tbh so I'm glad I can do it now. Had around 1000 hours played in it before bg3 came out

[@po3lio]

@@ProxyGateTactician just want to tell you that i am loving what u are doing RN

[@NoForksGiven]

I attempted this challenge way back and got stuck on Act 3 too. Funnily enough I used every tactic you did. Stealing the wand to free Slane, forcing Gareth to fight Alexander (and being surprised they could win) and only doing non-violent quests to progess and level up. Originally I thought to make a really tanky character since there's a stat that reflects all damage you take back to the enemy. I didn't test it because I was so heartbroken that I had to fight the source titan that I gave up on the challenge. Thanks for proving that it would've been possible, even if my tanky idea is still untested.

[@aleklagerstedt1744]

Unfortunately, the retribution damage counts as your kill if someone dies to it. Usually the AI doesn't hit you if it will kill them, but sometimes they crit. It's also tough bc you can only ever get 20 points of retribution (100% reflection) with unmodded gear, unless there's some lategame items I don't know about. And in the end the game won't let you pass the trial of blood anyways. You might be able to get really tricky with the bleed fire skill, where you proc fire around you after you get hit... idk, it would be tricky to make a working build, but not impossible

[@chrislubko1141]

Absolutely in awe with your dedication to the bit, I think I'm in love with you

[@aryantaneja3192]

Replaying the entire game after reaching the end of act 3, for a strat that may not even work is absolutely insane. You're incredible hahahahah

[@goelandz878]

Amazing you took my suggestion at heart. Pretty nice to see a real pacifism run. 27 hours of gameplay, resume in 17 minutes. Worth every second. Nice one.

[@pang4536]

I've completed all DOS2 only to watch these two DOS videos. Keep going.

[@HimoKebab]

What in the fuck is that ending? I have 1000 hours 100% achievments and didnt know it was possible to persuade braccus off just like that. Genious.

[@necron__7103]

Oh my god, I never knew about the ending! I always try to get both Hero and Villian for maximum amount of options available, its crazy this is an option!! Over 700 hours in Dos2, and I never knew. Awesome stuff! More Dos2 content please :D

Great video! I made a pure OC protagnoist in my second DOS2 playthrough as a support character and the rest of my team were allowed to kill, I managed to get through the path of blood but it was really difficult (for me anyway!). So congrats on being a pacifist, I didn't think it was possible! Very unexpected ending too, it's always quite funny when you can just talk down the big bad guy with the power of virtue :D

Necessity breeds innovation! It's amazing that you can pull this off *and* be rewarded for it. I love the lizard designs in this game so I might give it a try, but I still haven't beaten act 1 in BG3 so perhaps I should try to do that first.
