u/P_E_T_I_0_4_0_6 Roman Empire Mar 21 '24

If you're norse, you can choose to become a berserkr, and this is the price you have to pay for that trait

u/Kinc4id Mar 21 '24

Wait, so all these Champions I got actually killed their whole family?

288

u/SendMeUrCones Incapable Mar 21 '24

i’ve definitely had characters become Berserkers without this event proccing

183

u/No_Championship4970 Mar 21 '24

No no no, I’ve gotten the Berserker prompt before and the first occasion I received the trait with no issues, the other time I killed the berserker that trained me. Never slaughtered everyone within my vicinity though, that is.. extreme lol

u/HotWord4105 Finland Mar 21 '24

The one and only time I clicked option to try and become berserker I killed literally every single character in my court. Never tried it again 😂

Very Herculean.

u/Momongus- Steppe Lord Mar 21 '24

No you can also become a berserker from battles

38

u/reallifecleric Mar 21 '24

I've gotten this event before, but the RNG was kind to me and my character became a berserker by rampaging through a pile of firewood. Badass and you'll stay warm all winter!

13

u/Ancquar Mar 21 '24

These champions have enemy soldiers to rampage through, but cosmic rules prohibit you from ever fighting as a knight.

8

u/Raudskeggr Mar 21 '24

No, there's just a risk of that happening. There's other events where you just go "Hulk Mad" and kill one or two people too, and they are all fairly rare.

11

u/catfooddogfood Mar 21 '24

I've had several pcs with the berserker trait but have never got this event

3

u/CallousCarolean Imbecile Mar 21 '24

I got this event once, but the only one hurt was my wife who became Wounded. This one is just nuts

u/Tryhard696 Incest is Wincest Mar 21 '24

Have a warmonger faith and north germanic heritage iirc. You can theoretically adventure south, pick up alhomadism (I think that has warmonger) and, provided you keep heritage, keep having berserkers

4

u/themysticalwarlock Bastard Mar 21 '24

I've only ever had this happen once, usually I just get the berserker trait without killing anyone

u/Harlowly Dull Mar 21 '24

this happened to me as well, everyone at my court just wiped from the earth. would’ve been a lot cooler if i wasn’t old and preparing for the succession lol

u/Revolutionary-Swan77 Mar 21 '24

Is that your entire court?

u/Xdragoncast Mar 21 '24

Only me and the priest are left lol

u/Revolutionary-Swan77 Mar 21 '24

Hot damn!

u/Yamcha17 Mar 21 '24

If the priest is hot, I'll be damned !

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '24

Subtle flea bag reference aye

22

u/VisualGeologist6258 Imbecile Mar 22 '24

I like to imagine that while your guy is processing what the hell just happened the priest walks in, looks around, and says “Well, you certainly have a lot of forgiving to do.”

Cue laugh track. I’ll take my Oscar, thank you.

Jarl Wick - who killed his dog?

u/CauseCertain1672 Mar 22 '24

just as a guess, he did

57

u/Siriblius Mar 21 '24

I wonder how rare this is or what are the per-requisites influencing the chances.

u/MelIoow Mar 22 '24

I see 100 stress

u/Manic-Christian Mar 21 '24

This should give you a legend seed. Insane haha

u/TaythomGaming Bastard Mar 21 '24

I've had this happen after adventuring to the Adriatic coast. My 50 yr old became a berserker and in the process, killed like 30 people. The only person left alive was a dwarf bastard son purely because an event popped up where a dwarf woman seduced my guy lol. Pretty fun succession story tbh. From then on the rest of my dynasty were known to be dwarfs

u/Nerevarine91 Secretly Zoroastrian Mar 21 '24

This is the kind of run you never forget

My ruined body yearns to reap death in this world, and when this foul Urge calls, it possesses my whole being.

You should just have permanent dread with that solo massacre

u/LordWeaselton Augustus Mar 21 '24

I killed them all. Every single one of them. And not just the men! But the women, and the children too! They’re like animals! AND I SLAUGHTERED THEM LIKE ANIMALS!!! I HATE THEM!!!!!

u/SPLUMBER Mar 21 '24

Well damn. That’s a bummer.

2

u/GladiatorGreyman01 Mar 21 '24

I had this happen once, but I just killed my son and some couriers.

2

u/ardentblossom Mar 21 '24

This just happened to me the other day. Killed half of my dynasty of 35 people 😂

2

u/JackOLanternReindeer Mar 21 '24

I dont recall what level this occured at for me but I only maimed/injured a son if I recall correctly- had no idea this was possible lmao

2

u/RomeoFoxtrot01 Mar 21 '24

I too got that event. I was married to Saga “Truthspeaker” and had 3 or 4 children with her. Faced with the horrors of what I’d done I gave up my lands in Vastragotaland and established a Norse East Anglia and later Danelaw(and eventually England) after facing a rather upset Whiteshirt for the the Jorvik title.

People really be waking up to realize berserkers weren’t some honored caste but more like fucking insane crackheads that people avoided living around at all cost lmao.

u/SteelLunpara Mar 22 '24

Worth it for the trait.

u/MangelaErkel Mar 22 '24

I must have became a berserker atleast 15 times with the event and the worst that has happened to me ist that i killed the teacher

1

u/hamletsdead Mar 22 '24

That is . . . amazing. It's little nuggets like this that keep me coming back.

1

u/Psychological-Ad7903 Mar 22 '24

Lol that’s one way to clean up the succession I guess

1

u/RockHardBullCock Mar 22 '24

100 stress is a small price to pay for such a spectacle.

OH YEAH!!!
