History TearJerker / CriticalRoleExandriaUnlimited

* A meta example: Brennan, who is well-known for making his players cry, ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness breaks]]'' during his final narration. The ending is so desperately sad that not even Brennan, who usually manages to avoid crying while narrating even the [[TearJerker/Dimension20 most tearjerking moments]] in his ''WebVideo/Dimension20'' campaigns, finds himself choking up as he describes Cerrit's desperate search for and reunion with his wife and children. This is even sadder when you know the added context that Brennan really wants to be a Dad in RealLife, so this is clearly a touchy subject for him.

* Opal and Ted's argument in episode 4 is this ''in spades''. While it starts out as a typical argument for the two, it quickly escalates when Opal starts to make fun of Ted, causing the latter to lash out at her for being a bitch. Ted then tearfully confesses that all she wanted to do was to protect Opal, and she thought that taking away her powers would teach her to protect herself better. Opal could only listen in silence at this revelation. [[spoiler:When she's revived]], she's crestfallen for the rest of the trip to Byroden.

* Zerxus is able to briefly meet Elias, and says goodbye without saying goodbye. Elias tries to apologize, because he has an unsent spellkite (this moment utterly breaks the cast).

** The first thing that Zerxus says when he reunites with Evandrin? "Don't touch me."

* [[TheAtoner Vespin Chloris]] does everything he can to help Zerxus with the time he has, and he asks Zerxus to not tell anybody about what he has just done.

* The Ring of Brass are able to teleport the Primordials out of Exandria, foiling Asmodeus' plans... but three of them die in the attempt, Zerxus is dragged to Hell, Loquatius and Laerryn do not escape the fall of Avalir, but thanks to Nydas granting him Bardic Inspiration, Cerrit at least escapes the city.

* The Ring of Brass implodes, and it's heartrending to watch. It starts when Loquatius and Laerryn hold on to their secrets in the face of Zerxus' need to get the full truth out. Nydus keeps them all together, but when Laerryn admits that she still plans to plane shift the city after everything they just learned, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Cerrit abandons them to their devices in hopes of saving his family...]] but [[TheReasonYouSuck not before pointing out that their secrets will kill them all.]] The final blow comes when Laerryn tries to destroy the Tree of Names, bringing Loquatius to her side while Zerxus sided with Nydus to stop her. Patia's single-minded focus on the Tree inadvertently prevented things from getting out of hand, but it was too late. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero The Tree's defensive actions caused Laerryn to destroy it, thus freeing Asmodeus from his prison and starting the Calamity.]]

* As he is hit, Nydus feels that he failed the city he loved.
