"FINALE" is the third and last episode of Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril on Game Grumps. However, despite being called a "finale", the game is not completed.

Game Progress[]

Arin desperately tries to defeat the Lotus Guardian while improvising monologues to help him focus, becoming increasingly enraged at racking up constant deaths before finally quitting the game in an explosive fit of rage. Ross enters the room and reveals he was watching Arin fail at the boss battle repeatedly before giving Arin enough encouragement to continue the game one last time, at which point he accidentally hits "END", which he had unknowingly selected during his initial rage quitting, and blows all his progress from the start of the game onward, rendering his ordeal completely fruitless. Arin accordingly throws a volcanic fit at his utter failure and quits the game for good, Danny laughing hysterically and about to end the episode before Ross, hearing Arin's rage, innocently asks if the attempt went well, causing Dan to break down in even more hysterical laughter and end the episode proper.

When Ross asks why Arin completely lost it, Arin tells him about accidently pressing "END" when he meant to press "CONTINUE", and once Dan explains that after Arin felt encouraged by Ross' words only for Ross' "magic touch" as Arin had called it making him press "END" by mistake, Ross laughs his ass off and tells Arin he "fucked it up", Danny laughing and telling Ross that's what happens when he believes in people, Arin noticeably staying very quiet, possibly in complete anger.

Quotes[]

I was caught murdering some man named Steve. I talked to the police and I refuted that I had anything to do with the murder. The police said, 'Wait, wait. Then, why are you standing above the dead body?!'

Trivia[]

  • Despite being titled as the "FINALE", they didn't really finish the game like previous Finale episodes and, instead, "rage-quitted." The thumbnail of the video was later changed accordingly upon viewer request to show this. It also has new expressions for Arin and Danny's Grump Heads, with Arin's especially enraged and Danny's overwhelmed and scared at Arin's sublime rage.
  • While most end cards on finale episodes for the Game Grumps channel link to other games where a next episode would normally be, this finale instead links back to the first episode of the Battle Kid playthrough, with a caption asking, "FROM THE TOP?" 
  • Arin collaborated the video "Animate-A-Grump" is animated by 75 animators, the audio from it on July 18, 2017 (not at Newgrounds due copyright strict). 
  • Arin died thirty two times and told eighteen stories during this episode. 
  • This episode, filled with Arin's monologues and stories, combined with his immense rage and anger cumulating in him accidentally erasing all his progress near the end of the episode, is one of the most memorable episodes in a Game Grumps series. This has resulted in many animated videos based on Arin's attempts and utter failure to beat the plant boss and eventual pressing of the "END" button, including a collab called Animate-A-Grump posted on the Game Grumps channel.
    • However, during the Game Grumps Europe Tour in the Helsinki House of Culture, much to Arin's distress he found himself playing the game again in front of a massive audience so that he could finally beat the plant boss, and after a few losses (and some more stories and monologues to help him through it) Arin managed to finally beat the boss, much to his absolute joy to the point he admitted he farted out of happiness, with the audience clapping and cheering him.
