The Best Storyline in AdventureQuest Worlds (Darkon Saga Analysis)

[@Lonecrit]

Legit, when I did this storyline, I was like "wow, this is better than almost everything else, if not everything". Single-handedly proves there's hope for AQW. Bless the new lead writer.

[@ShehryarShaheen]

agreed loved the story

[@ZacharyReaper]

To me, this storyline marks the revitalization of the game as I saw several dozen of my old friends from our server starting to play the game again. I haven't touched AQW in 10 years and even I started playing it yesterday. We're so back baby

[@aldrichbenedictusparealla5065]

As a veteran player (since the 10th chaos lord and even played the original AQ during its early eras) i genuinely thank you for the recap/breakdown of one of my favorite storyline by far in AQW next to Shadowflame War, i wish you'd make more of these for other Artix games (or even only in AQW) as some of them is simply entertaining while other is pretty incredible in its writing.

[@romulusnuma116]

The art work in this Saga is crazy good it has stuff I never thought I would see in AQ World

[@kaitetsujin4349]

DUDE I JUST STARTED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS THIS WEEK!!! I really hope u make videos regarding what is, in my opinion, THE BEST storyline along with Darkon's Elegy, the Shadowflame War.

[@darrengillespie1258]

I really liked this one too :)

[@hanakozaki_rin]

By far has the best AC tag items ever known by AQW with the cost of free will farming.

[@motorhawk4199]

I am subscribing in hopes that I get to watch more videos outlining ALL of the AQW stories. I haven't been able to find a place that goes over each story in detail, and to be able to have it described by someone else really helps to understand all of the lore. Great job, keep it up. I look forward to more videos of this type.

[@nadaa2052]

Been looking for a channel like yours for ages now! So glad I came across it. Definitely need more videos on AQW's Lore

[@Justice_XI]

This storyline was actually a banger the art style the monster design it is peak

[@katalcalls2831]

THANK YOU!! i'm ngl, i skipped like, 99.99% of the game's tory and now i'm regretting it, especially for Darkon's sag, the drip was soo good and the art was so different from the regular sagas . I was hoping there was a lore story for this but couldn't find anything about it on YTj, so thank you for finally making this!

[@Lil_Harvard]

The Darkon sotryline is probably the only one that transcends the AQW game and is an actually good piece of literature.

[@kaihang4685]

Wow, great analysis to supplement what I thought I already knew about the saga! My favourite bit is realising that each of The Scale represents social groups previously, or still discriminated against by society and being enticed to remake a world without discrimination by force. 23:51 I bet my 15 year-old account that it was Komm Susser Tod that he listened to. What we know of Darkon's thoughts aligns perfectly with its lyrics as well as the instruments and feel of The World's music score.

[@revontheus17]

WE ARE SO BACK

[@cordyceps182]

Nice! I honestly have been really loving the story for a lot of the recent releases, especially Darkon's stuff. Always love Lovecraftian influences.

[@Tomarusan]

I really loved this storyline AND the art. Darkon really did a GREAT job on the art.

[@naciabell7903]

This turned out GREAT! Im so happy to see you finnaly finished the vid! I've beent rying to get some freinds into AQW and told them how great the darkson story is. But i could never properly explain. So big thanks for this! I can't wiat for what's next! Hopefully maybe you'll touch on hte current storyline that picks up on the Astavia plotline and the remaining characters .

[@ordinarynobody1022]

I did this story 3 weeks ago. Genuinely makes me teared up

[@immortalolive3576]

LET'S GOOOO THE GOAT STORY TELLER IS BACK!!!!!

[@cladoselache8766]

Yess. This story line was top notch. It's so well made, the cutscenes, the theme-heck, even the rewards!

[@ploopyfudgewink9207]

i didn’t realize how much i needed a backstory to darkens origin in AE but damn that’s such a cool story. Just recently finished the saga (in returning) and immediately got this vid suggested 😊 thank you

[@seven7383]

can't wait to experience this in AQI

[@-Pollux-]

although I hated watching through all those cutscenes and quest line being nothing more but just part of what this “adventure quest” game has to offer, I couldn’t help but enjoy this analysis video. I’ve always admired darkon’s artwork and design, however today I regret missing out on the actual lore of his saga. thank you for making this

[@orix4157]

Best story in aqw so far, Also thanks for making this video it was very good

[@ThePRIfication]

Such a good story to come back to. Anybody watching this who is thinking of coming back. This is worth checking out.

[@ahmadaldajani2059]

I will wait patiently for your next video whatever the topic

[@duskbringer4583]

One thing to mention; Darkon found sample of the Shadowscythe Virus (same stuff Sepulchure used to create En and Tropy), which was at least parteal reason to creatures mutations.

[@simonhylander1945]

Cooooool ive really been waiting for this video 🤩🤩🤩

[@lavantous]

I'm not gonna lie,i never was that into darkons eldritch and almost indescribable AC tagged items but i gotta admit. This storyline was possibly one of AQW best in its year and probably for the rest of the games lifetime

[@varnyggdrasil3084]

And now...SMH BRING THE ARCANA INVOKER LORE INTO THIS. Arcana Invoker changed the whole story's eldritch horror to a cosmic tragedy of many sides for me: Darkon & Fa who lost their lover Suki who lost everything including herself for love Ti, Re and La who were divided between those they loved (Darkon, The Scale, and Us) Song, Mi and Fa who lost their loved ones, their family, and are now both wounded and cherished by the Dragon & Arcana who caused it. Drago who cant feel love for anything but himself The Dragon who's too late to find and safe love. Now not the hero, not the man, but always only called "they" unable to escape their divine duty, which puts them at odds with those they love. The Star who's alien to love and being loved, who's fondness is mutating but genuine. Now drowning in loss a primordial can feel, abandoning any future connection it may gain with mortals to ensure this newer happens again, in memory of their dear one. Only to end their desolation through bonding with that which shattered them to begin with. Two true outsiders ensuring that neither Dragon nor Star are ever truly alone.

[@bonaquador]

That's a pretty good point honestly. Haven't thought about the arcana like that.

[@romulusnuma116]

Man that disclaimer I am excited to see where this goes

[@ehcsitroM]

NO WAY madlad actually did it.

[@Rukkuon]

Another good quality content, always appreciate your work!

[@d3mon1k14]

This video deserves more recognition!

[@tgm2104]

The story is absolutely peak from start to finish Mysterious at the start Turn into love compassion and forgiveness at the end

[@Festivex1]

I can't believe you play with damage strobe on, that shit is blinding.

[@VintrasEzreon]

I'm recently finished the story, now i'm omw to getting the Arcana Invoker class

[@jambrielfilgueiras]

1:15 Did you make this? Cause i’ve never seen this part in the world map… if yes, great job, looks really good. I wish they add more countries in the map.

[@bonaquador]

@@jambrielfilgueiras Thanks, I drew it in photoshop. The world map desperately needs more locations on it.

[@thebarbaryan4357]

when I start this storyline last year. It amazed me alot. specially the artstyle and almost make me cry. And now I just did the storyline again with my new character and still soo good to experience. Darkon Saga the best!. bytheway... I got the Darkon class Arcana and dyemnn soo good class.

[@Dotwang2145]

We're back

[@ThomaConjugate]

this videso gives me the vibe of Diablo by dark lore dash lol. but damn I have always wanted to see this type of content, since im too lazy to rewatch the cutscene, or maybe i missed some detail

[@chickennoodle3054]

Favorite storyline! Great video

[@komaru1097]

I was waiting for this vid Because I was too lazy to read all the story of elegy of madness saga

[@TheOfficialMaZe]

Ayeeeee he back for aqw

[@user-xz1vb7pq6c]

Man I love those videos of yours! Think your ever gonna do a summary like this for dragon fable? The game is a bit boring and tideous, but the story is amazing! The first arc is a classic but I read a bit of the current arc and it's so interesting but complex, someone has to come with a video for that

[@razxlt]

imagine a aqw anime series

[@Prashant-pm7iz]

You need to do one for QoM/Malgor storyline! Not gonna lie though maybe summarise the filler leading up to it. The saga changed writers at the start for the better.

[@fatihuyar5724]

Fa and mi isn't a creature of darkon, Fa came from a ice cube and Mi is from the poor kingdom citizdn

[@ImStian]
