History TearJerker / Drakengard3

* Two's DLC. You learn how she ended up the way she is when Zero meets her again, and it's gut wrenching. Two is undoubtedly the nicest of the Intoners, but her will isn't strong enough to handle the Flower (you can see it too, in how she always questions the love that she receives). Her power goes out of control, and she has to kill everyone affected by it, including the war orphans she loved like family.

** The later half of her Intoner Memoir makes you feel pretty sorry for Cent, too.
* Mikhail's unconditional love for Zero is probably one of most lighthearted parts of the game. No surprise that in Branch D, Mikhail has a hard time taking it in that he has to kill Zero in the end. He's still a child in mentality, and for him it's like killing his mother figure.
** Hell, Branch D's ending in general is incredibly depressing. [[spoiler: The Flower consumes Zero, forcing Mikhail to kill it, and, just for extra PlayerPunch, it creates gargantuan statues of the Intoners that it puppeteers, as if it's just mocking the player. Seeing Zero as a forced part of this abomination is nothing short of sobering]]

** In Ending B, when Zero performs an heroic sacrifice to save Mikahil's life in her only open use of Intoner magic in the game.

* The last verse of Four's DLC. You hear the elves screaming in terror in childlike voices, and you also hear that their families are on the Mothership that is the final boss of Four's chapter. [[PlayerPunch It really takes away any guilty feelings you might've had about killing Four...and replaces them with worse ones.]]
* The two last pages of One's Intoner Memoir. She says on the first that she wants her sisters happy and that she loves them all. On the last page, three month after her sisters are dead, she wonders where she went wrong, she knows she will die with those regrets and asks her sisters for forgiveness and finishing by saying she will join them soon.
* One's brother after One's death. He goes to his secret room and dress like his dead sister, stand in front of a mirror before going on about how much he knows about her, trying to touch her and wondering why he can't ... really the entirety of Mirror Mirror is a tearjerker.

-->'''Zero''':No! I'm... I'm!

** The worst part of Ending C is Zero's full breakdown, and the beginning of her transformation into a Queen-Beast, as she sobs, retches and vomits, walking towards the exit as the screen fades to black and "[[VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} Tsukiru/Exhausted]]" starts playing in the credits, sung by [[Creator/MaayaUchida Zero's Japanese voice actress.]] Needless to say, Accord sealed that branch before Zero could fully transform.

** In Branch A, she is pretty much dead inside after the events of her DLC. She dies while saying Mikhael's name so she must have regained consciousness just before dying. Cent allies with Zero saying that he doesn't care as long as he serves an Intoner. However, Branch D and the DLC reveals this as a lie as he explicitly says that all he cares about is Two, and that a world without her is meaningless.

* The last verse of Three's DLC. You'll truly feel sorry for Octa as he is horrified by how many people Three tortured, experimented on, and ultimately killed for her research and obsession with humans as dolls. He begs and pleads for her to stop as her sanity slips away, going into disturbing detail over her methods of toying with the lives of innocent people. Despite his sexual antics, Octa truly, genuinely loved Three and the ending shows him crossing the DespairEventHorizon from over how far she has fallen.

** At the very end, the story reveals that on the night Michael agrees to fight with Zero, he has a dream of the past and once more feeling the fear of yet another battle and the loss of something precious to him. It's no wonder that he chooses to sacrifice himself for Zero in the main game's prologue, he simply couldn't bear of another loss of his loved ones.

-->'''One''': ZEROOOOOO!!

-->'''Zero''':'''MIKHAIIIL!!'''

** In Branch C, Two again goes insane without Cent beside her, but this time Cent {{MercyKill|s}} her. However, Two placed a trap to kill all those around her so they again both die together (with the other disciples) while Cent says that he is here for her.

Yup, even a game like Drakengard 3 has sad moments interspersed among its crude humor and violence.

--> '''Cent:''' These aren't your children anymore! It's a monster!
--> '''Two:''' Then why are they screaming? Why are they crying!? '''WHY ARE THEY ''CALLING OUT TO ME?!'' '''
** The later half of her Intoner Memoir makes you feel pretty sorry for Cent too.

* Hell...pick an ending. It's a tearjerker. The crude humor and violence? It's just there to trick you into enjoying things, right up until it twists the knife.

** Not really, Four may have an inferiority complex but she truly loves her sisters ( particularly One and Two ) and seeing her get slashed multiple times after this stunt of Zero where she seems truly happy is still pretty sad ( and aren't elves baby eater too and those ones are pirates as well, they aren't innocent, at most you could says Four has a black and White morality )
