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.
