  1. The History of The Blood Sultanate (Chapter 8)

    6D AGO

    The History of The Blood Sultanate (Chapter 8)

    In this episode of chapter 8, Carl and Donut move through the flooded city of Larracos alongside the NPC army, seeing firsthand the damage Carl caused and the people trying to live with it. Donut, meanwhile, is already planning a wildly inappropriate elopement for Louis and Juice Box, complete with Oasis and an overqualified ring bearer. As they head deeper into the city, the group learns more about awakened NPCs, past dungeon seasons, and the fragile defenses being built against the factions. The chapter leans heavily into worldbuilding—especially the strange history of the Naga—while quietly pushing the question of who counts as “real” in the dungeon.

    Illicit Butthole Money (Chapter 7)

    In this episode of The Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted, Chapter 7 juggles an impending war, a ticking ceasefire clock, and Donut’s worst nightmare: unauthorized, for-profit fan merch. While NPCs quietly prepare to defend Larocco and Florin holds the line off-screen, Donut spirals over magical shirts, fandom economics, and the horrors of illicit butthole money. It’s a chapter that somehow balances real stakes with peak Dungeon absurdity, ending on the reminder of a wedding to come.

    The Party Planner (Chapter 6)

    Louis opens a celestial box and pulls out The Party Planner, an airship that shakes up their tactics for Faction Wars. We break down the new fast-travel mechanics, why this kind of tech shows up so late in the series, and what it means for the escalating scale of the dungeon. Carl spirals over leftover Christmas tinsel, simulations within simulations, and the AI’s chilling monologue about civilizations that wipe themselves out. Spoilers through Book 7.

  4. Sir Rendlegore Chapter 5

    Sir Rendlegore Chapter 5

    In this episode of The Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted, we break down Chapter 5 of This Inevitable Ruin, where a safe room turns into controlled chaos courtesy of a new pet, a naming war, and several questionable decisions. We unpack Donut’s meltdown over Carl keeping the tummy acre, the tiniest adorable meatball. Between AI meddling, cursed food boxes, and a hair regrowth kit that absolutely should not exist, this chapter blends comedy with quiet mechanical setup. It’s a deceptively busy chapter, layering relationship tension, power scaling, and logistical groundwork that will matter far more than it initially seems.

  5. Dante's Downfall - Chapter 4.5

    Dante's Downfall - Chapter 4.5

    In this episode of The Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted, we break down Dante’s chapter from This Inevitable Ruin, a quiet but devastating look at former crawlers, the Dungeon Anarchist Cookbook, and Justice Light’s past. We unpack Dante’s guilt as a Cookbook author, the mechanics of indenture and reassignment, and how this chapter quietly establishes Justice Light’s moral code, and the cost of refusing to bend it. What reads as background lore quickly becomes heavy foreshadowing for consequences that ripple through the series. It’s a restrained chapter with brutal implications, ending in a bleak revelation.

    The Hell-Kissed Potion (Chapter 4)

    This week we breakdown chapter 4 of This Inevitable Ruin. Carl and Donut’s loot box bonanza continues, stacking them with wildly overpowered upgrades, unhinged gifts, and one truly terrifying celestial potion.

Plus: Samantha tries to kill Tish, we finally get to talk about other characters, and we end with Donut learning about Carl's secret pet.

    Donut Becomes a Tank (Chapter 3)

    It’s loot box o’clock, and Princess Donut is cleaning up. Carl and Donut crack open a ridiculous amount of loot boxes that includes trench-building scrolls, cursed spellbooks, and the wildly overpowered Tiara of a Thousand Lights. As Donut starts turning ugly hats into raw magical firepower, things quickly get dark with the "You're Not Done Yet" spell. We also break down the mechanics of Quan’s Cloak of the Benevolent Champion, how it turns Donut into a god-tier tank, and how the AI might have nudged Quan to become a villain. Add in exploding space chickens and Mongo getting potion balls broken on his butt, and this chapter becomes pure setup for absolute chaos.

    The Ghillie Suit (Chapter 2)

    In this episode of The Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted, we dive into Chapter 2 of This Inevitable Ruin, where Carl, Donut, and Mordecai hide hang out in the safe room and sift through an absolutely unhinged pile of achievements, spells, and loot. We break down Donut’s growing arsenal (ghillie suit, boonie hat, anti-air spells, and more), how her power curve is quietly getting terrifying, and why some of these abilities feel less flashy but way more dangerous. Mordecai finally gets the potion upgrade of his dreams, Mongo is still tragically one-winged, and the ceasefire continues to feel ominous. Carl racks up a parade of bizarre achievements, including demon-related milestones, cursed food box “upgrades,” sentient weapon warnings, and some of the wildest AI flavor text in the series so far. We also get a brand-new quest from Emberus that will eventually derail everything in the best possible way. It’s a quieter chapter on the surface — but it’s packed with foreshadowing, trauma, and deeply unsettling soup.
