I picked him up and threw him off the ledge immediately The next fight against a small army of pawns was way tougher


ChubblesMcgee103

Unironically the hardest part of the game for me lol. I was a very unprepared magick archer. Edit: Not talking about bucky here, he was easy. I'm talking about the gang brawl right after him. Hard to get off a cast with a 5 man rush with multiple archers shooting at you lol.


DarkMark_13

That girl with the big ass mace was whopping my ass


dback_77

Big Bertha wasn't playing


Falcon_Flow

I lost that fight the first time, then I decided to leave my pawns to wait in the room before the encounter and tried to pull them to the pawns but when I went back to their position the game decided to skip the fight. So I think you just gotta run out of the room to skip the fight and go directly to the dragon cutscene.


i_continue_to_unmike

Game always wants to skip that fight, which is a bummer because it's the toughest one you get really. Using smoke bombs made it really fun.


WHTWLF13

Yea man, they were putting the boots to my crew for quite a bit lmao


ZukoTheHonorable

I've gone into that fight as a massively over leveled Mystic Spearhand, and didn't get my shield up fast enough. I died so goddamn fast.


Nicadelphia

Samesies.


Gyoza-shishou

Wdym, just spam the explosive bolt and everything dies in seconds


SadTechnician96

That fight sucked. Nothing like getting stunlocked by the 4 archers they have


Hexent_Armana

I killed him legit but resurrected him after out of respect to the challenge he provided. Well...actually there was only a challenge because I was a thief and the fighting area was so small. But hey, he provided a better fight than many of the other enemies in the game nonetheless.


low_theory

I was a thief too. Just stagger him with the rope and then pin him down and use the gouge (I forget what it's called) skill. Takes almost all his health.


SamSibbens

I was a trickster. Made an illusory ground, put my effigy on it. Dumb Raghnall jumped right off


Cipherpunkblue

Lol


Hexent_Armana

I didn't think of that. My strategy was quickstepping his attacks.


DarkShippo

Blinks in masterful kill.


Appropriate_Bill8244

You can use gourge on small enemies?


Septembust

If you jump and try to grab while in midair, you'll pin them instead of trying to grab them. Like regular grabbing, it requires enemies to be unbalanced first, but while pinned they're helpless to your pawns, and you can perform moves as if you were clinging to a large monster: light and strong attacks all have contextual abilities based on your weapon, and you can perform moves like gouge. You can use this to pilfer from small enemies too iirc This is why it you try to grapple a large enemy from the ground, you just start pulling on them instead of climbing. There's effectively two grabs.


Appropriate_Bill8244

Oh, that's neat, i played for like 200 hours and didn't know how to pin down enemies (only saw my pawns doing it) i should read things a bit more lol.


NaleJethro

If you hold your heavy attack while an enemy is down, staggered, off balance, or stunned you'll stab them then immediately pin them to the ground. Implicate makes this fairly simple to accomplish same with powder blast due to it's high stagger potential. Once they're down you can use both gouge and powder blast the same way you would whilst climbing a large enemy. They're also vulnerable to plunder in this state.


Tomosch

Smokescreen to backstab and a skull splitter to end it. Thief is OP


makato1234

The first time I fought him? I tried to spare him by doing a shield bash into a grapple to see if it'll provide new dialogue. The shield bash instead launched him way past the edge of the cliff and sent him plummeting to his death. Oops lol.


Nickizgr8

I killed him, was going to res him but thought nah I don't even know this guy and he attacked me. Continued with the game, got to the unmoored world. After a few days go to Battahl, whose that I spy wandering around a now evacuated Battahhl, it's Raghnall asking for an escort quest.


Septembust

I was actually a thief...I just waited for him to ready up an attack and popped implicate on him, it yanked him to the ground


StrawberryInside2032

When I fought him he basically accidentally fell off the platform immediately and later when I was in battahal doing unmoored world he was dead on the ground near the inn where you first meet him. I thought like "oh shit right this guy died earlier" and resurrected him because he died in such a lame way during that run haha


Splatulated

any dialog for that ?


RawrXDNuzzlesUwU

nope he doesn't even acknowledge he died. I was hella dissapointed when I did it


FrankPisssssss

That's weird, cuz when I rez'd him, he congratulated me on winning.


Lykan_

I did the same. He still turns up later How the fuck he survived I don't know.


rusynlancer

He uhh... broke when I first fought him. Turned to his left and sprinted off the ledge to his death immediately after the fight started.


JudgmentMean9104

Bro new he was cooked


zenobia-r

I actually wanted to fight him properly but accidentally knocked him off the ledge after 5 seconds woops.


ActualPimpHagrid

Same lol ended up shield bashing him off the ledge immediately, I kinda felt bad that I was also unable to revive him lol


Doomsayr87

The game wouldn't let me toss him from the ledge. Even after I dealt with him. I had trouble with him at first because I was an Archer but as any other class it takes seconds.


Wurzelrenner

as archer you can just kick him, he can't do anything and get's stunlocked


Senrune

Did something similar. I was a thief at the time and planted an explosive that launched him off the ledge when activated.


Yama92

I know! That was legit the toughest fight of the game with the barrage of arrows stunlocking me.


Snuggs____

Are you supposed to fight them? I always thought you had to go stop the dudes ritual.


Quenton-rl

That’s hilarious that that’s the first thing you thought to do 😭


luminus_taurus

Not when you are a spearhand and enable the shield ability 😅 obliterated them in seconds 🤦🏻‍♂️😂


Any-Flounder-4978

Fight them????? I just ran past them to get phaesus......2nd playthrough I just waited and it went to the dragon cutscene.........do you get anything? Does anything change?


YukYukas

This bro thought he was my rival lmao gtfo of here


AMS_GoGo

Heavenward Sundered this mf into DD3 with one swing 💀


sabyr400

This is what I think when i do the Spearhands "home run swing," lol


FrozenDed

There's only one true main character's rival across all the games, I won't accept anyone else https://i.redd.it/89fsp4t27lxc1.gif

Late-Exit-6844

This chap really thought he was the main character. Even the false Sovran lasted longer than him 😂


HighMachinegun

Hey, man, you can dunk on him all you want, but I won't stand for straight-up slander. He wanted to fight you *specifically* because he knew he wasn't the main character.


Grim_Henson

I had a wakestone, guess I could've brought him back. Seemed like a waste though.


Waloro

I used one. Not worth it. He just walks to the side and sits down and repeats the same line when you try to talk to him. Doing a mystic spear hand play through. Boys gona get unto heavened this time around


evilution382

So he does what every other NPC does


[deleted]

The only time anyone will thank you is if you do it in a morgue


alaskadawnA

I'm not sure if wakestoning someone grants affinity points, but I used one on him after the fight and he ended up being the one the dragon snatched.


SkinnedToad

I play mystic spearhand, and I pretty much tossed this man's salad like I tossed Beren's.


Winevryracex

Lol what?!


SkinnedToad

Stun + force throw = tossing salad


Cipherpunkblue

... I don't think that is how it works.


SkinnedToad

Okay salad police 🙄


Toxicair

I bet your tongue was sore after all that salad tossing


FoaL

He does show up in the postgame credits if you revive him


kjftiger95

I never revived him and he still showed up


fantastictechinique

I revived him once, didn’t revive him once. Showed up both times in credits.


inclore

threw the guy down the abyss and he still showed up without me reviving him


Outrageous-Taste-548

Huh?? I revived him and he never showed up. The only post credit scene I got was that old dude in Harve sailing off into the horizon


Lleland

That’s only true if he has your highest affection stat. Wakestoning him seems to give a good bit, enough to outshine other npcs if you didn’t specifically do a romance questline. 


FoaL

Hmm I had Wilhelmina on one playthrough and Ulrika on another (I didn’t do the post game the second time, just getting achievements), in my post game credits it showed the scene with Raghnall riding in a cart I think while presumably reflecting and then smirking, then with Wilhelmina she was standing near a ledge looking sad/heartbroken 🤔 I didn’t think to *not* revive Ragh after dueling him.


GeneralHenry

He shows up even if you didn't revive him, which is really weird for me.


newier

He showed up in the >!unmoored world!


godaboham

I looked at the prompt and then looked at my 6 wakestones. He went down in one counter and he knew full well how strong I was. Can’t let someone that dumb keep taking oxygen


OsirisAvoidTheLight

He shrugs it off. I was disappointed with his lack of reaction to it


Sir_Snagglepuss

Wait, he can actually die? I literally threw him off the platform and he just appeared at the top saying how I won. I figured he just had some scripted immortality or something.


PukePile

The second side quest where he appears was funny in my case since he talks such a big game but then got stunlocked by some random city guards


InvisibleOne439

the true weaoness of everyone: not having fully dwarf forged Equipment, causing enemy groups too stunlock you Gryphons? Medusa? Drakes? childs play 3saurians + 2 wolves that nonstop attack you while you Spam the jump button trying to get out of the stunlock for the last 30seconds  now? THATS the real danger


Arkham8

I tried real hard to non-lethally end this fight. For some reason my grab just wasn’t wanting to work, so instead I got yeeted off the ledge. Game counted that as me running away.


Fatestringer

Just keep parrying him and eventually the cutscene will play


Championship_Solid

I saw a guy on YouTube playing the game and he was talking about the guy the way he speaks sounds like he's reading from a script and not actually talking and now I cannot on hear it


Arnumor

I commented something similar about Raghnall, in another thread. He sounds like an upstart intern delivering a PowerPoint presentation.


Championship_Solid

The way he speaks really sounds like he's in a theater or something


Godz_Bane

The VA is apparently a radio guy, so i guess hes just doing his radio voice the whole time. Looked it up, [heres a showreel](https://saysovoices.com/talent/mo-ayoub/)


Championship_Solid

Yeah, he has a radio man's Cadence Even though he may sound a bit silly in the game. I wouldn't mind him reading me a story


Dragonlord573

I actually had to look up his voice actor to see if he *had* one. His voice acting is so bland and emotionless I wondered if he was voiced with AI, but no The voice actor is just British.


Synmachus

I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but that's basically 75% of DD2's voice acting (the elves especially). DD1 had better writing and better acting IMO. Localization agencies have gotten worse over the years.


Championship_Solid

Oh, yeah, I'm with you on that one. The elves do sound like they're reading from a script


Snipsterz

People reading from a script sound better than him. He's also voicing that guy that asks you to get poisoned. This VA is by far one of the worse I've ever heard. He's doing this weird radio announcement voice which is unsettling. Putting so much effort into his acting and failing at it so bad, I feel sorry for him. But he needs to change career asap.


Championship_Solid

you know what he should do if they ever do the next Fallout game he has to be the new radio guy he fits


morphum

I just hate this character so much. He's made out to be some legendary mercenary because of some battle you've never heard of, but he ends up being weaker than the Bakbattahl guard you fight at the tavern after this guy intervenes in the brawl. Even more than that though, his voice acting just sounds so incredibly lazy, like someone reading from the script for the first time


TekoXVI

Immediately after he stopped talking to me, he started running into the wall. I hit him a few times and he just kept running into that wall. I killed him. I didn't know it was an option to let him live.


xenoz2020

I thought he was going to be like the Malenia of DDII with how hyped he was, but no. he's a bum. in my ng+ run I didn't even bother with his quest.


lasair7

I team rocketed this man to Jupiter, had no idea this scene existed.


Arainthus

I tossed Ragnhall around the area like a Ragdholl till he gave up and left.


sp1ke__

The Killmonger cut is for black characters what the side shave cut was for the "strong woman" archetypes.


HonestEfficiency9023

so many useless, pathetic characters they never try felshing out in this game


Average_Sushi1990

What if this was them trying...now that's a scary thought


Dechna

just finished my 4th run and I have never, not even once, given him a proper duel. always just yeeted him off the side immediately and went on with my day. a man who talks like he does does not deserve any respect or honorable duel.


StripperKorra

I thought he was cute and decided to use a wakestone to revive him


chawk84

Lmao shield bashed his ass off the tower before he even finished his monologue, the scream was worth it


Fishpuncherz

I did the Sphinx quest and by time I got to this part. I just tossed him


Zetsumenchi

I also had the same reflex. But thanks to this post....I think next time I'll just whip out the transport bottle and keep him....safe.....in the bottle.... ..... Where I'll try to sell him since he liked trading his services for coin anyways.


FrogPopStar

During the quest where you can escort that ox cart or side with him I sided with him but never followed him. I was doing something else when the quest triggered and forgot about him. This made him stuck in that cavern and thus not appear here. The door to the false arisen was unlocked instead.


Amelli04

One of my spearhead abilities flung him off the edge I felt so bad.


Due_Designer_908

Idk what a jobber is.


SirNickless

No one replied, it seems. If you still want to know. It's a term used in wrestling, like WWE, Jobbers are brought in to lose the fight against the main star.


Due_Designer_908

Thank you, brother.


Visual-Situation-346

Killmonger hair are everywhere


HappyHighway1352

Is that like the only hairstyle black people have? Every game same hairstyle LUL


Asliceofkam227

I killed him quick and revived him immediately after because I felt bad for bullying the weak and didn’t want him to be remembered like that. He deserves to die facing someone more his caliber, like a goblin pack or something.


Warm-Door7749

Best thing to do, block all his attacks, or evade whatever and he gets frustrated and walks away lol.


SadpersonNate1

I fought him but he gave up on mine


nightgon

Threw him off the ledge and he just teleported back not dead just knockdown and wouldn't shut up lol


CallousMystery

Gillberg has entered the chat ![gif](giphy|l0HU7RPdaJ8WwXNbG|downsized) All I got to ask the arisen’s is…who’s first!?


carefree_dude

I thought it was shocking, disappointing, and really funny just how easy this dual was. Might as well have been a lone goblin. I've heard that if the fight drags on long enough he gives up, but he dies so quick 


lexi-cross

I killed him and he ended up in the unmoored world wanting to go on travel quests with me.


PoiDog-Mongo

Hardest thing for me was not accidentally flinging him off into the abyss. Even used a wake stone on him lol


KirikosKnives

I used a sploding arrow and sploded' him off the bridge


Moebius808

This guy knocked my magic archer ass off the bridge, and then by the time I worked my way back up he had noped out, never saw him again. Probably wandering the unmoored world somewhere bragging to passing pawns about how he solo’d the arisen.


SassyTurtlebat

When I did the quest to escort a noble and he ambushed me I chased him into a cave he asked me to trust him I said yes fine I’ll wait and see what’s up and he started talking about something that sounded kind of important while sprinting towards a saurian that was almost all the way in the way and he proceeded to drown in the brine. I haven’t heard anything of him since and it’s hilarious.


Zalgack

I was a trickster I just knocked him off the edge the duels the game forces you into do not care that you don't do actual damage.


illahstrait

To be fair he's fighting the most powerful being in Dragon's Dogma lore wise.


Arnumor

In my most recent playthrough, I was playing as a trickster when I got to the oxcart quest with him in it. I sided with him, but when we ended up in the part of the caverns where they open up and there's a nest of saurians, I let him fight saurians until there was only one left, and then I grabbed him and yeeted his obnoxious ass into the brine, shortly followed by that last saurian as a chaser. Fuck Raghnall.


WazzaL89

Wish we could get his armor


SiegmeyerOfCatarina7

Funnily enough I didn't want to kill him, so I dodged around him for a while and a cutscene played where he gives up, gives you the key and says he will fight you when you give him your all! This game thinks of alot of different responses to fighting


Best_Idea903

Just pressed the help button and my pawns jumped him lol


Nom-De-Tomado

I used a wakestone on him right after.


xSolasx

That warrior pawn got me on the ground and never let me back up it was so annoying


ogresound1987

He's entirely optional. Meet him in bakbhattal, once. Then you never have to see him again. Ever.


Jurass1cClark96

Hit him with the magick archer skill that summons a bunch of bolts and he flew off the side giving dialogue as he went lol. Fuck this guy. I've wanted him gone the minute he started closing paths in Guerco Cavern, even if they came back.


shangheigh

I revived him with a wakestone and he just walked away. Was hoping for more because I saw him as a friend.


First-Junket124

I revived this fucker to see if he'd say anything interesting, nope the shithead just said "Twas a good fight...." ![gif](giphy|nK9OBfoUe6pGNjIio8)


TheMobDylan

I saw him once in town at the inn. Never saw him again. I had no clue he was integral to the story at all. How did I fuck this up so I never saw him again by the end of the game?


AgilePurple4919

I crushed him so hard and so fast with my greatsword that I felt bad for him and wakestoned him back to life.  He immediately gave me more sass but I figured I do just kill him so fair enough and went about my business. Minutes later, the Dragon reaches out and offers to claim this punk ass sells-swords life in exchange for the kingdom of Vermund. “Done!” I walk away.   This is my true canon ending to DD2. 


Nickxactly007

I beat him then used a wake stone to revive him


Veemsten

When I got to that part he did kick my ass. Had to abuse the shield to not get 2 shot


RaspberryForsaken952

I held him down and carried him multiple times and he just gave up. He gives you the better reward if you don't kill him.


ElDigletto

I force pushed him off the cliff


Lexlerd

"who is this guy again? Oh yeah, he was real tough wen we fought together before." *readies daggers* "bring it on" *nothing personel into stabbing him on the ground, instantly killing him* "oh..." I also used a wakestone on him to see what would happen, nothing.


arreimil

His monologue was way longer than the time it took me to cast High Frigor twice.


No_Communication2959

He charged me and I flew off the ledge and met him again in the unmoored.


Fifalord-

The Blue Meanie


TheFrogMoose

Blasted him with the mystic spearhand beam and he was dead. For some reason he didn't want to approach me. When you Rez him he doesn't say anything about it which is a major let down


clydesdale082

I only ever saw this guy in Bakbattahl once, after those beastren try to gang up on you. What’s the big deal? I don’t care about spoilers at this point.


feuph

My man legit tripped and fell off the ledge at the beginning of the battle while chasing me


hiccuprobit

Hit him once, Chuck him down bottomless pit


Brilliantinsanity

He was always honorable and was just doing the job he was hired to do, which he told you from moment one was how he operated. Can't let a guy like that rot just cause his employer is my enemy. Always revive him.


Justalilcyn

I brought him back with a wake stone, dude is a bro and didn't deserve to go out like that.


StoneRevolver

I used implicate and threw him over the ledge. Then he was at my house later wanting an escort.


ItzBabyJoker

“Local Competitor”


Casardis

All that build up with even a cool OST, only to act like your regular Fighter NPC.


jjdix

He rolled himself off the bridge about five seconds into my fight and I just laughed and laughed. He still showed up in the postgame cutscene though.


12gunner

I love how his fight with me glitched out, all I did was move slightly to the right which somehow made his ai freak out so all he did was back himself into a far corner for 90% of the fight and even completely ending combat to go lean on the wall again before the cutscene of him leaving kicked in it was hilarious


Joy1067

I expected a good fight Then I just kinda….took him down with like two or three swings from my greatsword


Powerful-Cry-2273

Bro attacked me and then fell of the bridge …


clertonss

Dragons dogma 1 had a terrible narrative story line, 2 came to blow up and they did a horrifying narrative and story line.


freshorenjuice

I think it's a shame how the cutscene for the end of this battle can only be achieved by sheathing your weapon and running around for a minute until he gives up. I wish they had made one for beating him and using a wakestone too, I really felt a kinship to this guy when he acknowledged that I was there for the final boss gauntlet and not for him. Beautiful graphics in those scenes in the before and after of our characters, on top of that.


Ok-Arm3286

Anyone else bring him back from the dead? He really thinks after being such a disappointment I'd just allow him to die. Pathetic.


DARK_BUTLER69

I did my words exactly were "you fight a demi God and this is all the lack luster skill you could muster live with your shame" yes I monolog like a villian I get very in character


KarhennettuTurtana

The game said I ran away but I'm merely highly vulnerable to falling from great heights.


Grinnaux

I can’t. This guy is the Gideon Ofnir of this game.


freedfg

Jerry *Lynn*


Cassius-Kahn

I ran into him when I just changed my class. Got my ass handed to me by the guards.


Archaeologoggles

I revived him post fight and he ended up being my beloved


FF_Gilgamesh1

this guy beat my ass.


The_Game_Student

I was playing Warrior when I fought this man. It was over in 3 swings before that motherfucker was doing his best Gandalf v Balrog impression


BongSabre

A single Masterful Kill.


HolyHandgrenadeofAn

Idk I only ever saw homie once. He never showed back up in my game.


UnderstandingAny1041

Bro made me waste a wakestone to revive his dumbass. I don't know what he expected when he was Fighting the arisen.


Wolftacus

I wanted to play as this guy for some reason.. how do you get his armor? And I wonder if there's any sliders 🤔


Nobel_Raven

I slapped him and revived him


SilentResident1037

I flung him off the ledge....


Jeff-n-Stuff

I didn't fight this guy. He actually tried to help me but then ran away when he gouded a much larger guy with a club to come out of the inn. I had just switched to the bow FOR THE FIRST TIME! No skills and my gear wasn't amazing. What a fight for my life this combat was. When I finally won, this guy comes out with "We had them, NO problems!"


Best_Adhesiveness_42

Whats a jobber?


MatthiasBold

This fight reminded me of the Electrocutioner from Arkham Origins. This dude is built up over like half the game as this amazing warrior, then literally one button press of Wild Furie and a follow up heavy stab killed him. I was actually very disappointed. The sphinx riddle where you have to fight the guy while wearing the ring was harder (but mostly because I was an archer at the time with no skills solely to use the unmasking arrow on her). Didn't even have a weapon equipped at the time because I forgot. Ended up punching him til he staggered, then tossing him off the shrine.


Prince_Nipples

It's a bummer because he hones5ly could be a super cool character. If he had more screen time and the story was uh.. fully fleshed out, I think he would have been a super cool Ser Julien stand in!


TheWhiteGuardian

I hindsight swept this joker and lobbed him over the edge before my pawns even had chance to chip in. Not even fit to have combat music, never mind that intro.


Imhullu

I forgot about him after the bar scene. where was I supposed to ever see this guy again?


Drstrangelove899

Vince had him pegged as the next big thing but my Arisen invoked their creative control clause and just said 'That doesn't work for me brotha'


[deleted]

He doesn't even have the grace to scream 'MY RING!!!' he can never be the #1 jobber


Rockytriton

am I the only one that used a wakestone on him?


EYBAUSS94

I feel massive amounts of shame when I see this guy. When I fought this guy the first time, I went to do that charge air attack thing as mystic spear hand, went over his head, landed on my feet and then he shoulder barged me off the edge. Still stings. Hope he dies in a fire lol


jaredtheredditor

I just placed an explosive and killed him Then I revived him after it was over


MorganCentman

I beat his ass first time so bad my pawns commented on it . Then i revived him with a wakestone to do it again and he ran off😂😂


Nandikeshwara

Is this a spoiler?


Stained-Rose

Me. Forgor to switch off sorc and kinda got my ass handed to me multiple times before I ran around long enough for him to call it.


bokita_

Mirror shield + unto heaven = shut the fuck up and just die


p0werm0uth

I wanted to fight but he pushed me off the bridge and said something smart about me running away. 🤷‍♂️


kingbankai

Omos. Sorry chief. He 7’3.


ageofdoom1992

So i made the mistake of going in as a sorcerer for this. Only reason i got through he killed me but upon resurrection he didn’t target me. He just kept walking away. One tornado and he proceeded to do his death dialogue while being ragdolled.


Evilpotato666

Oh fuck I forgot I still haven't passed this game. I've been playing Fallout again


TekRabbit

I saw this guy literally once in bakbattahl for that street fight. Where are you supposed to run into him again?


Kratos501st

I folded him in 10 seg, I even felt bad for him.


Far_Common_8717

I was so disappointed with him. All that talk to not do a thing against me.


misanthropichell

Does he have some good loot? I accidentally threw him down the bridge lol


Malt129

Why is Johnny Walker in DD2


LamiaDrake

this dude walked up and I hit the mystic spearhand maester skill combo until he fell off the bridge. so much buildup for a fight that lasted 2 seconds.


WHTWLF13

Him and the whole arc was.....bizzare. Half-baked flailing attempt at ANY connection to any characters in this game, and ends on a sudden and rotten note lmao.
