YouTuber BOB_BestOfBugs, however, realized that there's nothing stopping you from putting a Netherstone into a container like a crate or a sack (crucial to the Shadowboxing speedrun tech) and then getting rid of that container. I was able to replicate the trick in my own game, but curiously I only got the game over on losing my second Netherstone⁠, so watch out for potentially soft locking yourself here.

What follows is the most luxurious sort of "you messed up, big time" scene you could possibly ask for, shades of firing a mining laser that wipes out all of humanity in System Shock and its remake.

That ending scene is used in at least one other circumstance:

spoiler

if you kill the emperor at the start of Act 3 inside the astral prism

It's probably just a generic scene for miscellaneous unwinnable game states.

Your spoiler tag isn't spoiler tagged.

Also I saw that cutscenes once before making it as far as you describe, I don't even remember how, pretty sure it was midway through act 2. But it's definitely a semi generic cutscene for when you lose in a particular type of way.

I got it during the Act 2-3 transition. I had a fight that had to end in 3 or so turns and I didn't make it.

That's where it got me. I remember now

I don't think you can use line breaks with the spoiler markdown

It's working fine on the client im using and I'm using the format buttons in the web-based editor. What syntax works on your guys' end?

I'm using Liftoff app and the spoilers are never hidden

The comparison is funny, considering how easy it is to fire the mining laser accidentally. Button shiny!
