Hello hello, everyone. I am Darkness and welcome back to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
This is one that if you actually got through all of the trials
that I played that's a it's a long episode and I didn't want to cut it and
I just took more of a breather than I thought I'd have to that scene of how
she was fighting her darkness her her battle of the mind that Dillion was
calling it like made me hurt inside so I'm gonna keep going with that
because this game I mean it's not even the title sacrifice and the idea of
delaying or dealing with or overcoming or anything to do with death but also an
idea of how how in general we what we're what we're willing to go through for the
things that we care about and the things that we feel make us who we are so we're
about to pull the sword from the tree the remade sword having a weapon again
to fight the strength to pass the warrior trials she saw her past behind
meloria Indians why the voices to go bested by the gods of darkness leaving
price for this but yes later with the symbols parting words still holding her
the darkness came back with a vengeance
everyone suffered my father was not supposed to die like this the suffering
you've caused this is your father you brought this bracelet
she didn't do it though they're coming for you now they're coming to get well
with the Master Sword I'm pretty sure that I can kill them
whoa
holy smokes
in the sea of corpses the corpse wave threw itself over the ones I loved the
ship broke up under them the ship that had sealed from the land of shining
fields their memorial stone a secret come not here in the Sun come not with
us or come not crying over a naked corpse come not disturbed
why is she paying a price for the sword though does your precious gift of sight
let you see the souls but Rottier in this sea of corpses do you feel the
blood running cold on the skin do you hear their endless cries do you smell
that putrid wounds they were once brothers sisters and loved ones look
what you have done to them she didn't do it her whole because you
were a coward because you Biden from your curse instead of facing when you
turn your back on the father's in though so the back of the gods and let the
darkness leak out upon your feet boys why must they pay for your era see
but she didn't do it this is a curse of the gods they're saying she was she was
free to live her life to be she was allowed to be happy
Oh
Oh
get up get up get up get up
it's nearly over
so her gift of sight let her see the suffering in others what
was she supposed to be a shield to make it so others didn't have to suffer why
would her father have said then that he was the only one his hand could cure her
that would have been a blatant lie
Oh
that's when I haven't met for a while
blocked got'em
No
so she was born of a mother who was dying that's why she got it like this
got you
oh she's dead just like youth this can't be her journey through the stages of
death it can't just in like that she calls for you said Noah go to Mars
Bob suck it simple cold that voice is not on my side
a servant another times calendars it's the
boundedness we came for a site she who doubted the gods of the darkness it
first
she escaped she gave her life to the gods what did
she hold too late she's calling for you why don't you join up she didn't owe
them anything oh you're new
Oh God
II won
No
why would she have been expected if she's a shield why would she have given
her life in the first place
No
evade my ***
No
nope
No
her sacrifice she's not going to be allowed to leave this is she
huh
ah no if she goes down the darkness spreads right
ah
nope
all right you
No
there can't be anymore there's no way and what is this green thing doing over
here
No
they never stop
okay
nope
No
watch and still time
locks into the seeds of little Superman is this Loki why what has she done doe
she tried saving herself why are you fighting
thank you to these players she's 12
he didn't really say that about that couldn't have been what he said about
his father dying
Oh
he's injured too though
jeez
and why do our own voices tell her to run so often is that just her reaction
to her own her own darkness for so long
come at me No
am I supposed to die here
it was like a dance I just realized why it looks the way it does she described
as like watching a dance
the darkness has taken you
did her mom really surrender
but the voices aren't telling the truth
they haven't been telling the truth
linked arms
I can't fight it anymore
I want to be with you
there's no way she gave up that night she gave up on her world to follow in
the footsteps of her mother to go to a place where the darkness couldn't reach
her
it's she was fighting a flashback look at me
do you they're calling for me we've lost so many and I've lost my
father I can't lose you you said I was blood of my hands I didn't say that
you've done nothing wrong simple was right every symbol is a fake he is a
hateful better liar he's poison and his words still haunt you who do you trust
him for me do you still believe in his anyone
in us
it was in her mind
come back to me
please
the hardest battles of Ford in the mind
he gave her the sword with which to fight in more ways than one
and she gave him her word never to surrender
all she needed was a little help
that was grueling I know that there's limited of me saying anything about that
but that so if the last one was a trial of her struggling and not being able to
fight back within her own mind this was her keeping her promise to fights to
keep fighting when Dillian asked when she was pretty much asked whether she
was gonna give up and commit suicide at the cliffside because she blamed it all
and her own her own psychosis was telling her that she had seen Dillion
blame her for the death of his father and he got there in time to tell her
that the darkness in her mind and inside of her was consuming her and to trust
him I don't know why then she left I guess that is going to be in another
part but
a weapon with which to fight and a promise to keep in the knowledge that
the hardest battles have fought in the mind that is as
you can see why the idea of getting him back would be the only thing driving if
the only thing that kept her if the only thing that kept her here in the first
place if I'm giving up was him cuz it sounds like her whole life she had been
lied to and told that she was a hopeless cause and he told her it was a lie that
she wasn't a hopeless she there was hope and there was a way to fight and that
she didn't have to live afraid of it anymore and she slipped somewhere in
there and decided to try to get rid of it so she could be even more like him to
live a normal life and be a normal person not hindered by this and while
she was gone he was killed this is literally the journey of going to hell
and back to try to find purpose in life and to try to bring back the person that
gave it to you in the first place I'm assuming that her sacrifice as the title
says is a double-edged sword it's her sacrifice of carrying this
curse and at the same time what she's going to give up to get him so
again this is gonna be one of those that I'm gonna end up making its own video of
kind of recapping everything because in experiencing and seeing the visuals and
hearing the words and by the way ever since Dillian said in the last one in
the trial to listen to only him there was that gaping silence where all the
voices in her head went away and so like it put in it an immediate loneliness on
me because in playing this they've gotten it right what it sounds like to
hear the the figments and fragments and the pieces of your mind that you think
you hear something and you think you know something that you don't they took
it all away to show the loneliness of what she was when trying to fight it
that all of those things haunt her to remind her of the darkness inside of her
but when fighting it she's alone doing it again though when Dylan's voice just
came here the voices were there when she's fighting the fight to not give up
again like her mother gave up but when it came back to being the flashback of
Dillian finding her at the cliff the voices were dawn again her solace is
completely found in him which is a dangerous solace to have and my
psychology degree wants to come through right now and say that if you're if your
will and fight and drive to keep surviving and going on is based in a
person then it has an immediate fault of that people are human beings which means
that they can make mistakes and they can die it's a dangerous
this is dangerous places to trust your whole being inside of when they're just
as fallible and they're just as frail they're just as human as you are too I
don't think at this point she cares at all about her own life I think she just
cares about the promise to keep fighting but I think her promise of to keep
fighting was exactly the same as the first part of the sense where she said
that he gave her the will to fight the sword to fight he gave he she gave him a
promise but I think it was a I promise where she didn't say the last line out
loud which is to fight it as long as he's there and he's not I'm still
confused when the voices said and say that she's dead just like her mother I'm
more and more confused whether this is her her own journey into death and
having died to get here to get to Dillian or if she actually is alive the
only people the only things allowed to cross that bridge were the dead that's
what drew said what did they're leaving out a piece and it's it's driving me
insane and it's gripping me in a way that I want to someone in the comments
warned me to take breaks that it was a roller coaster I don't know if I can
take a break I think I need to but
we'll see if I continue on with this session so thank you so much for
watching hope you're enjoying let me know what you think in the comments this
is not this is not a normal game and this is definitely something that I feel
like I'm gonna end up replaying and a live stream to try to share it with
people in a different way just to let people know that something like this
exists so thank you so much for watching hope you enjoy it and I hope to see you
back here for the next parts really really soon
you
