Dark Cloud - Kings Curse (Extended)

[@tails183]

I used this in my DnD campaign. The group spent days tracking down leads and suspects for a string of cases of bodies being stolen from the city and the cathedral's undercroft. Eventually all things lead back to said undercroft where after going through multiple rooms of reanimated citizens out for blood, they enter the final room. Before them stands a large statue of an angelic woman holding a large burning brazier. Below it stands the masked necromance they've been chasing for days, guarded by two armored skeletons. The music cues up. "Oh crap" is all the party said.

[@tails183]

Over two years later and I realize that I misspelt "necromancer." Cool.

[@tails183]

Two days later and I realize that I put "cues" instead of "queues." Amazing.

[@mikeJRthe2nd]

This is my favorite track in the game. It captures the atmosphere of fear taking over your mind. Absolutely fantastic.

[@suddenlyribbon3268]

Why do the shittiest bosses get the best themes?!

[@CommanderFlake]

Tails Doll So you have time to hear the soundtrack.

[@dakotastein9499]

Dran was a pretty fun boss,and he had an awsome theme too.

[@sphony]

He's not really that shitty. Just easy to defeat once you figure out what to do.

[@CommanderFlake]

When I ran into this guy the first time as a kid I wasn't sure how to hurt him.

[@kutah8523]

+Deranged Letters I think no one was.

[@alessandroceci4650]

It was epic to feel powerless against the enemies.

[@shatosoel8521]

I loved how this game made you think about how to utilize the teams special abilities at times.

[@NickZhong-tf4xf]

Me too

[@nikolainightwolf1779]

This was my favorite adventure on the ps2 and I will never forget it. The oldest games seem to be the best now a days the music was grrrreat and so was the story. What I didn't like is the fact that the main protagonist dosen't have diolauge. Great music and truly an easyy fight but the best escape ever.

[@paranormalflight1760]

so like Zelda where Link doesn't have any dialogue

[@SamaelTKN]

People actually call Dark Cloud the Zelda of PS2.

[@spencerdurette2859]

It was Sony's answer to Zelda's rising popularity if I recall

[@SamaelTKN]

Spencer Durette Yeah, I'm just sad it didn't get as much popularity as it deserved.

[@spencerdurette2859]

Samael Tarkington It's my favourite game of all time. And I'm sad they haven't done more with it...

[@DeltonBurrow]

the lamest boss in this game but the music is cool

[@AmarilloArmadillo1234]

The genie boss at the end is the lamest imo

[@chasesmith9681]

One of the best games ever made. And for sure the best sound track of any game i have ever played. And that's a lot 😂

[@SierraGustafson]

Seda: I knew you'd come. I knew you could make it. Toan: Yeah, since you nearly KILLED ME!!

[@atari_hmb]

Toan beat the Illuminati :\___________________________/

[@XxTheUltraxX]

ATARi Evif Dark Ness lel

[@delly340]

lol

[@SaladSnackGetInThere]

When I fought him I already had the sword called "Dark Cloud" which is like 2 or 3 build ups of the Toan sword you get from Fishing Points. This boss battle took 2 hits with it, now I have 7thHeaven... That sword would've done it in 1.

[@nick250ification]

I had the chronicle 1 at full stats by the time I got to the kings curse, 1 shot him the moment the black fog was pushed away from Ungaga

[@ShadowZigs11]

Lol killing him was so easy. He never even took more than 5 steps against me. Spin staff with ungaga then charge with Toan Repeat. Fights over in 15 seconds....

[@Brand-pn5yz]

Yeah but have to charge with ungaga too.

[@darkraven2983]

Or anyone who has a high mp and holy stats on their weapon will do. He weak to that shiz

[@shenronded]

You're awesome I've been hopin someone would extend this for a very long time

[@JOSECORTEZ-nw7rg]

I SANG THAT SONG

[@ashestoashes78]

This boss has actually been the easiest so far for me. Doesn't make him any less badass, especially with this theme song XD

[@dvgaming15]

*Music starts* Oh wow! This is gonna be an epic battle! *Beats King's Curse in under 5 minutes* Ok... Not so epic. But still, good music! :D

[@Tsumefan2]

yeah i thought king was too easy

[@logicwizard783]

Considering I just killed him in 3 hits, man, I wish my weapons weren't so strong going into it, lmao

[@slusheewolf2143]

Hands down the best song in the entire OST And that's saying alot because Dark Cloud has some of the best music on the PS2

[@pokestorm6026]

Shipwreck has become my golden standard of water dungeon themes and DC2 has one of the hands down best opening themes in a ps2 title.. Couldn't agree more with the Dark Cloud love.

[@AmarilloArmadillo1234]

Wise Owl Forest and Sun and Moon Ancient Temple have left the chat

[@pokestorm6026]

@@AmarilloArmadillo1234 Wise Owl forest is great! I forgot how the Sun and Moon temple theme goes tho It's a kinda short looped song but I love Dran's cave theme too

[@SparktheYoshi]

Damn, that bassline in the beginning is kickass!

[@Pisceslife15]

Thank you for your extended songs from epic video games.

[@MantiszToboggan]

toan is just known as " NotLink" and he gets super thirsty super fast and fails to recycle the water bottles he uses :O

[@goldandragoon]

he doesn't use the water bottles. he eats them :3

[@ShadowZigs11]

Lol the shittiest boss in gaming history XDD But his theme is SOOO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!

[@mariomaniac6411]

Me: Ok, next boss.... *Kings curse shows up* Me: OH GOD IT'S THE GHOST OF YELLOW DEVIL!

[@freedomfuryfighter7607]

When your trying to acquire your destiny n dreams in life, but a nasty evil force holds you back...

[@jamesgrey13]

Notice it? I kept a save file just before I entered 300 years ago and returned to it to listen to this music.

[@brandycollins7239]

Why is this not a metal cover yet!?

[@SedyIsReady]

When i first saw this guy as a kid i almost shit my self

[@MikeManGaming]

+Sedy lmao

[@dvgaming15]

+Sedy This guy was nothing to me. And I first played this game when I was 4. First game I ever played, in fact.

[@SedyIsReady]

It was the way me walked towards me

[@angelicevilleaderofthecrim6253]

I got freaked out when I saw him too it's just that when I saw him I wanted to kill him so badly that I was always saying "DIE FUCKER DIE!!" "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!!!" "OH YOU STUPID ILLUMINATI COFFIN!!!" Until I had to stop because it was 3AM and my mom was asleep

[@marywhite9676]

As a kid I couldn't fight him cause I was scared of him, but as an adult he's a sad pushover of a fight.

[@medievalducky1590]

I used to have the demo to this game.

[@Yzoka]

You know what's good ? This game is available to play and to download with the PS Now service. And there is trophies now ^^

[@chasesmith9681]

Just beat it again man one of the best games i have played even to this day. And of course the best soundtrack giving zelda a run for it's money

[@xlordsolrac2]

REAL FUN FACT :: Did you know that the ALTERNATIVE Version of this song is the one played when Fighting the Dark Genie? (In That Pitch Black Room) Yes, The Alternative is the Supremely Rare Song If You do not believe me, download the 2sf of Dark Cloud and Listen to it :3 (It Pissed the craple out of me)

[@brofistbro]

Yes. The song is actually called kings curse 2 which used for the real final boss. It IS still dark genie but it's those op bosses that the heroes must face😅😅

[@FabulousLemonTart]

I gave my Dark cloud to a friend for Final Fantasy X and he'll give it back when he has finished it. Can't wait to start going through the demon shaft...

[@Brand-pn5yz]

" Shadow in the coffin" KING'S CURSE

[@scottkh4470]

God if i was an indie game maker, or even just passionate enough to do it, id attempt to rework this boss into something challenging and scary.. like more health, a different mechanic of needing to dodge several attacks before doing the Ungaga spin and Toan swing.

[@angrygarbanzo5436]

Who knows, you could turn “Megalomania” into “Megalovania” if you keep at it

[@beverlybobb4302]

I love this game

[@taylorhammond149]

I'm starting to like this song! It sounds so dark and scary! I love it!

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Some of the best music ever..

[@SierraGustafson]

Looks like King Tut doesn't want to be put to rest. o_O

[@fearfulharmonycddrama6216]

meanwhile, inside a nocturne nightmare.....

[@broth54c]

Duwang of the year meanwhile, in Canada....nothing new

[@masterofdoom5000]

Boss was pathetic in terms of difficulty, he showed no attempt at actually providing a challenge unlike queen Ice bitch with the one status effect and attack that is brutally unfair especially seen as you could only barely outrun her main attack with a drans feather.

[@phillippejean-marie9345]

I hate how Sony has this doloadabe for the ps 4 and not PS3 there are many games I want to download from the ps2 area of my childhood on to my PS3 and I can't find them example atv 2 quad power racing or GT 3-4 Ps I also hate how this generation of games are its all 1st person shooter and no more classic story games and racing games. 😢 I am so glad I was raised I the ps one Ps2 and PS3 games. Also I Hate how every game now u have to have the latest update to play them and back then games were more harder to finish it took years to finish them and now you can pass them in a few moths 😢

[@IMMACYCLOPS]

You can buy Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 on the PS4 now :-)

[@TheGummin]

"All 1st person shooter" You need to get out more often, that is hardly true at all.

[@karisasani7006]

He means by how the fact that the majority of games are first person shooters nowadays.

[@DragonessSilver]

Very well done! I absolutely love this one song soo much and it was never long enough!

[@Hammythehamsquirrel]

This sounds like worship music if you think about it

[@citrushubnetwork1052]

Who else thought This was from a legend of Zelda twilight princess level?

[@kyewikeley]

What scared me was every time you turned round, he was in your face! LOL

[@williamsloan782]

Damn good

[@andrewsaucier3731]

When witches n witchcraft, demons n devils, evil people won't leave you alone but you keep fighting by yourself thr the nightmare

[@ashestoashes78]

SO IT WASN'T JUST ME!!!!! XD

[@catagon12345]

he he you want to break rules and change history? Interesting. Let's see how you do. Open the door to the past and realize just how powerless you are!

[@angelicevilleaderofthecrim6253]

ME: this should be easy I got chronicle 2 by using the broken dagger glitch and maxed out all my weapons by using the broken dagger glitch. My inventory may have issues but it's ok

[@crazydaisyj]

Thumbs up if when u were little when this boss scared the shit out of u it scared the shit out of me

[@beatricechristopher5341]

He is the easiestt Boss!

[@darkstone_official_2427]

Best theme, worst boss. But I will admit it took me a while to figure out how to damage him on my first go. I almost died, but not quite because I did the spin move by accident and found his weakness xD

[@GothicEU]

100 floors... I have to make it too once again :D

[@wickedslicks1003]

@shenronded I know! It had to be done lol.

[@liamdell6319]

Easiest boss if you know how it works. Hardest if you don't

[@mariomaniac6411]

ITS THE GHOST OF YELLOW DEVIL!

[@NiNja10Doh]

It's Vaati from Legend of Zelda

[@olivermorris5913]

this is scary

[@shenronded]

Yes that's why I couldn't kill him was out of sheer fear not lack of strategy once I knew how I trounced him

[@noobievids]

He would mindfuck you by moving so slow and then because of it he would randomly appear behind you XD

[@AoDLegacy]

My first battle with him: Once I figured out to use the desert guy, I kept spinning my staff and holding x like a moron. My sister finally took the controller and started attacking while the black cloud spun around him. ...By far my biggest idiotic moment of gaming.

[@Tsumefan2]

so if the guy's name is king does this mean his wife is named queen and his daughter is named princess ?

[@landon3785]

Easiest boss in the game. He was very underwhelming

[@dvgaming15]

So true.

[@ultris07]

all the bosses are dirt easy, but that's what makes this game fun. It never was to slow, or had ridiculously long lasting boss fights, like most 3-D RPGs... Honestly it made the game feel pretty smooth.

[@karisasani7006]

That is unless you count the 3rd, final and post game bosses. The 3rd one is a bitch to fight if you didn't know exactly how to fight her. Basically you have to use flame only to even harm her. This was where one should stock up on heart throb cherries to ensure they could recover from the attacks easily.

[@kellenmcqueen9371]

Karis AsaNi by post game do you mean the Black Knight at the top of Daemon Shaft?

[@bluey81582]

I had to use Drans feather to make sure it didnt do that, I was 8 in 2007 when I first played this, Mom my had to watch over me when I was wooping him down to make sure he didnt scare e alot e.e

[@Tsumefan2]

try listening to this 1.25

[@dylanoliver7108]

so funny he scared me it took me like a week to defeat him and when i did i screemed coz i was happy and i called him names

[@Tryagainwithadifferentname123]

He was no match for my chronicle sword

[@kennyalwaysdies-1]

sounds just like academy of evil

[@TheStickpivotanimati]

Is the best boss

[@theepicmariobros]

YES YES YES. :3 yolo subscribing

[@dodo67ful]

this is the most easy'ist boss ever in this game but the pain is the dark genie I hate fight'ing the dark genie in this one the other is easy

[@889superangel]

Thumbs up if you think this music could go with a Mario video on youtube.

[@SaladSnackGetInThere]

Two hit kill with 7th Heaven...

[@noobievids]

He was easy but I damn near pissed myself XD

[@zalanum7708]

None of dark clouds bosses were all that hard once you figured them out. Dran shoot him down then slash him Utan keep smashing his feet with a hammer La Saia (Ice Queen) well there difficulty spike here (starting here all the boss can kill you really fast for her your frozen then the ice ball that falls on you kills you) but hit her with fire from ruby and then some one in melee and don't get frozen run away a lot Kings Curse use Ungaga to blow away the smoke then hit him it's easy to do nonstop although if you don't figure this out to bad for you he's completely invincible and can cut through your hp like butter once he gets going Minotaur Joe Just slash at him when he goes to get a drink. But If he hits you while hes powered up yo die

[@landon3785]

Zalanum I leveled up Ruby super early and had maxed out attack on the secret Armlet and 1 shotted the dark genie on each phase of the battle with a stamina potion. I was very disappointed

[@karisasani7006]

Final boss and secret boss though?

[@aidatashift1227]

I one shotted this boss.... i Mayyy of cheated... but hey i did like zero damage whith the normal stuff...

[@theepicmariobros]

ikr xD

[@Kenny0136]

Fav boss music in the game, but as everyone else is saying, probably the easiest boss in the game. The next boss was very easy as well, in the moon sea. Personally i haven't had the patience to sit all the way through the final dungeon to fight the final boss yet, though. The Gallery of Time is boring imo.

[@landon3785]

Kektosterone I thought I could skip Atla for that dungeon and was so mad when they made me go back and get it...

[@angelicevilleaderofthecrim6253]

I hated the gallery of time because it was boring af and they just had to piss me off with the limited zones

[@sacredsoda]

1.5 speed is great with this theme.

[@boscorner]

What kind of church do you go to? LOL

[@Xalocin]

easiest boss of the game lol

[@josechirivella6741]

This boss is easy

[@Silver666Hedgehog]

Duuh?

[@suddenlyribbon3268]

Ice queen wasn't really that hard.

[@dvgaming15]

+Tails Doll Yes she was

[@zalanum7708]

Well really shes just super cheap and unfair not truly hard also cool avatar of Gaspard

[@dvgaming15]

Thanks, man! He is a real badass. :D
