13) “And Now the True Test Hold Fast or Expire.” This quote is a testament to the near-perfect wordplay of this game, and I can’t think of a better way to commentate a blow that may spell the end for a party member.

Usually, this voice line plays when a hero lands a killing blow on an enemy, which also helps! 14) “Mortality Clarified in a Single Strike.” Players will go through some extreme highs and devastating lows during a playthrough, but nothing gets me back in the fight, like hearing the ancestor’s wise yet gruff and weathered voice cheering me on with this statement.

No amount of inspirational quotes will fix these unfortunate souls now. This commentary is so good that we at Gamers Decide have put together this list for your reading pleasure enjoy. A large part of this is the ancestor’s commentary of your efforts. Darkest Dungeon has excellent gameplay like all good games, but the story and world-building set this game apart.
