Fear And Hunger Hard Mode [Mercenary S-Ending]

The current S-Ending playthroughs on CZcams are ~3 years old and do not reflect the Hard Mode changes below such as:
-Harder enemies
-Way harder bosses
-Torch mechanic
-Dangerous events (dogs chase you inside dungeon)
As such, I have endeavored to upload my own!

Sigma grindset.

except he actually doesnt do that canonically because he's the most beta character

@@ignatcristian3036 > most beta
You mean D'Arce? She's been manipulated by Re'Tarde so that she will act as his safety net and also a vital pawn in his engineered ascension to godhood. Merc may lack the sheer Chad energy of Rangvald, but he's certainly not the "most beta ever".

I'm going to tell my kids one day that this is Pokemon

[@user-xb7dp4vu3r]

This is Pokemon for me. But I only watch, I don't play...

[@pedroachinelli5431]

In this ending, the mercenary did condemn the kingdom for sell the artefact? He better enjoy his moment of pride, that dungeon he fear soon consumn the entire kingdoom

Love the 23:12 moment
"Cool, now give me the money"
Sure, here's EXPLOSIVE VIAL

Dang, the bomb and that weapon so OP in this game, wowie

[@ryuki.ryugao]

I didn't know Merc's wife got forced to labor in red light district... Blondie wife is beautif tho...

[@perubelga]

There's a bed in Ma'habre where you sleep and travel through dreams, being able to see what happened to characters before coming to these dungeons. Ca'hara's wife is a prostitute.

[@maro_1059]

Pretty sure he met her in the red light district

[@therealsteelchill]

So you made good on what I said lol, the ideal Mercenary S

[@garenoak6589]

Well I did not make this video during the ~30 min gap from your last comment lol; but yes I think I am happy with this run

21:48 very sus

[@TheLalacream]

What would happen if you got the girl in your party? Would you be able to leave after finding the treasure? Or would the game lock you out of the ending if she is in your party? I'd want to imagine a happy ending where the mercenary and his lover adopt her as they'd probably be able to afford having two children anyway.

[@Cringe_Lord92]

In hard mode, you can not recruit companions in a group. The cell with the girl will be empty.

[@TheLalacream]

@@Cringe_Lord92 is this ending hard mode exclusive?

Kind of wish hard mode had more guaranteed torches and torch building materials. It's like play with Blood Portal and Dash or no play for you. I just want to casually stroll around in Terror and Starvation or Solo Hard Mode like a real dungeon crawler. I just feel Fear and Hunger is not the intended playstyle of the main game. Darkness should be a factor.

[@suddenchangeabil993]

The game itself name "feat and hunger" for some reason

[@potterinhe11]

I asked the same thing

[@libero2711_]

but it's a Speedrun-ish, if you care about the lore you should prob watch a playthrough, not this

[@luqmanghazi3104]

@@libero2711_ I love how the only advice you said was watch a playthrough not play the game

[@kronox9112]

@@luqmanghazi3104 not gonna lie, that game scares me, i kinda prefer watching it at 3am than playing it at 12 in the morning

[@SIGNOR-G]

​@@kronox9112 now im curious to k ow why it scares you. The game is dark sure but you are even blessed by a isometric camera. Was it in first person i would agree.

[@Azorico2007]

Great stuff, thank you

[@MarceloKatayama]

At 3:55, when it says "you feel a terrible presence entering the dungeons", is that some sort of trigger for the crowmauler?

[@GarakiMura]

Maybe yes, the crow mauler has only appeared after thickets/caves in my runs

[@sargent-dark7272]

I have the fear and hunger I will probably use this has a guide

[@Lorenamaysing]

Im sorry but this is my favorite ending. 😅
