DUDE IMAGINE LOOTRUN OPENNING ANIMATION AND THEN ENTIRE ASS ZHIRAOK MODEL EMERGE FROM THE CHEST
heās faster every time so by EO he just yoinks you at light speed and drags you in front of tasim with your hands still bloody, grasping a dernic knife
LIKE HE A PICKABLE ITEM
The leaves funnily enough didn't get enough time for each of them to develop despite being a 13 part questline
but the soveriegns got good time to shine thanks to the four act structure
minigame updates with fruma character would go so hard
Banish the Beyond
The Faceless: play as gikyo and transform into survivors
The Isolated: play as two and teleport around with portals
Blizzard Brawl:
Majin as a new DPS. Sui as a new supports. Syndra and Zhiraok as new tanks
Claim to Herosim:
New Hero? Tasim or Sui maybe⦠we donāt really seem to have many folk heroās for fruma but someone new would be cool.
Battle for Bonfire:
that idk about this one it doesnāt really use characters
Trashie has me blocked because I hated on lari too much lmaooo š
oh pfff
but wait
agreed
what rarity is he
The āvillainā sovereigns are so wonderfully hateable
mythic, to trick you into thinking you got an awesome reward before crushing your hopes
Nasin Tier
i like gikyo
zhiraok and queen chasing you and the leaves through auburn and you manage to lose em, get to the roughworks, they're right there
syndra: "How did you manage to get here before us?!"
queen: "I- ...how did we, Zhiraok?"
zhiraok: https://youtu.be/bseN1uf9zPY
The Emperors New Groove By All Accounts It Doesn't Make Sense
okay but fr on topic of taht
we know that the queen has her private train
how tall is the goddam train
that lady is like 4 block talls
big train lmao
Majesty-mobile
Theyāre just fucking deranged (itās very fun)
okay btw I cant gush over how character like Majin that the writers could easily make him just surface level asshole
they lower her in on a crane into the top
each of them feels very necessary. gikyo is a bit disconnected from the rest so maybe not them, but even then mistwoods just wouldnāt be the same without them being crazy and killing mora and setting the evil sui arc in full swing
it's like the Laytonmobile, it's just a normal car except it has an extended roof to account for his top hat, or in this case the Queen's height
and everything that he done
i think majin should explode and die
Also we got Sui pulling a āwatch what happens when I cast a spell I donāt knowā except I like to believe she does know
this is true
anyway, imagining zhiraok traveling economy on the train and having to deal with the fact he's pressing up against some poor citizen in the window seat next to him
now here's the question
this is my new headcanon voice for zhiraok
is that citizen upset or excited
evil sui arc is crazy
oh my god
gikyo works as the token evil one
unstable sui arc
i really like sui's arc in general
the idea of Majin in Blizzard Brawl is so funny
cause like
who the fuck invite this guy
Tom
Snowballs? Would you like meteors instead
"Tom, is not that guy stalk 16 years old in his uni year?"
"What"
yeah also majin i think would work best as a pure dps out of the other fruma characters. Maybe syndra too but even then i feel like she would fit a tank role
I feel like Soosu would be cool in BB
I think she deserve some whimsy
I think Majin can go burn in hell
BRO NOT SEEING HEAVEN'S GATE
and as it stands (if the wiki is correct) thereās only 2 tanks vs. 3 dps and 3 supports, so if the update would theoritically equalize it to 4-4-4, syndra would need to be tank
Is there some kind of summoner archetype in bb yet? If not she could have that role I suppose
tf 2 engi but golems
unless you do sui dps, two as support, then zhiraok and syndra as the new tanks
I wonder if Theorick and Sui would be able to be buddy or not
or Theorick just too cold
"Look girl, I know you have issue but like I got work to do so
get out of my way"
i dont think sui and theorick are very similar personality-wise
but then that means two is either in both fruma BtB and BB, or Gikyo is just the sole new addition, since doubling up feels lazy
or
Cold 
zhiraok leaving fruma for any of the festivals after apoth
Player: "If you're here, who's in charge of Fruma?"
Zhiraok: "Well..."
smash cut to Xao sitting at the desk with the biggest grin on his face
Xao: "This is the best day of my life."
Theorick is another power hungry douche sui would crash out upon
they 100% do not but I like the idea of them interacting due to their power
KILL FROSTBITE
THAT QUEST SLANDER THEORICK
i hate frost bite
Theorick is not power hungry, he just want a job
banish the beyond adds survivor characters (one guaranteed perk for your character + the random perks) and majin is a survivor so you can kill him
ong just delete frostbite
it slanders my goat
Zhiraok and Gale family meeting would be so fucking awkward I wanna see
I don't think they would get along personality-wise but I think they would work together in battle well and Theorick would respect Sui's abilities greatly, since he values people Doing Things and Sui would have proven herself well-capable, and I also think Sui would, even if just at first, respect Theorick due to the whole "Don't worry, you're just like the Twains. It's natural to be like this, nothing to be scared of"
pep talk that the player gives her
like. they would mutually set aside their differences to Get Shit Done together
Majin I think would feel better as a spirit, still being megalomaniacal and spamming space magic beyond the grave
tormenting others as in life he did
TRUE
They will let ANYONE be a hero
majin could too
Majin pay his way up to be featured
although it would be VERY FUNNY
bak'al was in my original roster of 6 hero ideas
so maybe not out of the question
that is also peak
syndra would slot in nicely as a new hero though
mmh
the idea of you ascending to heroism to become Bak'al is too fucking funny
i kind of hate designing CtH heroes
since Bakal is referenced in the festival a few times, like in the plushie sold of him which is stated as minimizing his impact on the province and letting people take out their anger, itd track to have bakal as a "hero" due to everyone ganging up on the hero who gets to ascend
"Kids! Who is your hero?"
"HITLER!"
that is true actually
out of the 3 minigames that feature characters CtH does feel the least interesting. Siegfrieds is funny the other two just kinda whatever
Bakāal as a hero but another player can ascend as Lari to contest him, trust
I wish Bak'al have more presence in canon wynn
please early game remake
mention Bak'al more PLEASEEE
corruption in wynn in general needs to be worked more into the quests
like yeah you get to play the villain for a bit and everyone either gets catharsis from beating the tar out of you in that round or else you get to knock down some castles and go "RAAAH I AM EVIL BAKAL I EAT POOP AND HAVE A SMELLY FACE RAAAGH" and then giggle like a schoolgirl afterwards
Compared to decay and SE it has so much less presence
ngl now I imagine in the festival
there is a puppet show with puppet bak'al lol
somehow makes him look less pathetic than he actually is
and a convenient crate of rotten tomatoes next to the stage
and let me guess at the end of the puppet show
gikyo in BtB would be so much fun though.
like garavans invisibility but even worse, since they transform into a survivor, and while transformed can willingly charge beacons to fool people
Thatās horrifying
thatās the only one iām confident in for a festival minigame placement
they just wouldnāt work as well in blizzard or heroās
I hate Frostbite and the nessak secret discos in general ngl cause they all show him as a power hungry corrupt dude meanwhile fate of the fallen and AHC just show him as a guy who is realistic about things
Iām sure Gikyoās some twisted individualās hero š„°
I don't think the discoveries paint him in too poor of a light outside of maybe the random pottery one
the one with him and marius talking to each other tho
the other discoveries just paint as having anger issues
like, when he's confronting marius over being ridiclously cryptic and obscure and high-and-mighty over him just asking for Some Fucking Pay for his work- and at the funeral, tempers are really high
because it's a freaking funeral, and everyone's upset
Gikyo in BTB would be so good yeah
not that one
imagine they can trap people with purple goop
the other one
THE HALLOW/HOLLOW would be such a good name
the first half of my message
yes that one
see i went The Faceless cause of the raid debuff
that work too
sorry this is a habit I need to break
I dont know how though
its been getting really bad this year
i think Two would make for a good 2nd spirit for banish the beyond, but also two would be really cool in blizzard brawl as like a Rivals Dr. Strange type, making portals for the rest of the team
and overlap feels kinda lame with so many new characters
I don't think Torn In Twain shows Theorick as power hungry or corrupt, just as fed up and angry
sadly two is not dead
"sadly"
yet
I mean fair eonugh she is facist dictator supporter for a while
i'm a two apologist
doesn't it have to be someone whos dead
isn't that why Aledar is in it?
cause hes dead
I think Two oopsie is making no attempt to help the queen learn about being human
but then agian
she probably think it easier to let queen go off her course
i mean all of them are dead but ToA death and the random pile of rats idk. Kinda dead but
letting than try fixing her
I guess Two see the queen and like "no fucking way I can fix her"
death gets an explanation
she's very hard to pin down. constantly just getting out of the beyond again
well the Taker mobs are aledar. or semblances of him
I like Two
then Gikyo and Majin probably as the 2nd best options for BtB. I think panic zealot already covers the teleporter well enough for two to be left out
majin could be interesting
i dont know what majin would do
yet again i prove myself to be a casual as much as I want to believe I'm not lmao
truthfully for btb i think we come up with the mechanics first
and assign a character after
hmmm
explode
trye
i mean you have the ability to make the players have their screens covered in various color filters right? he could apply a rainbow filter to peopleās screens lmfao
why
him walking into you and just blowing up then respawning a few seconds later would be really funny
I wonder how I should deisgn real death
i liked your crow
yeab vut I feel like
I could do more with the idea
||espcially with the new sphanis design I made||
||they are too similar||
lmfao, mora and syndra as BtB spirits
they be throwing any dead people in BTB š
oh, right, BTB
what the possiblity that Azeal appear in bonfire
idk i donāt see why theyād be evil (granted mael isnāt really evil either)
unlikely
I think at least he would be sadden that Gikyo did not turn their life around
charging up a spirit well? from underneath...
damn
hi zhiraok
I guess Azeal probably make peace with the fact that like
Gikyo bound to end that way
yeah, gikyo being the only new spirit would be fine actually, the other dead characters all kinda whatever
zhiraok-chan
wait
Notice how Azeal being surrounded with people that respect him and call him their master
while Gikyo just alone in the fort and mostly just train changeling
also their ||death|| just not really talk about much huh
cripples a player at any distance with memory loss, preventing them from charging wells and slowing them down for a time, so long as they get LOS
idk
I wonder where in the world woudl fruman character go
what would her spirit name be
The Forgotten
also i just realized would zhiraok in blizzard brawl just be tracer š
Rex goes to wynn obviously to search for her brother
Tracer but big buff man
I only see improvements here
tracer but bear
Hell yeah
would he have his boomerang swords to use instead of just Guns
yeah
i mean, zhiraok and the canopy probably stay in fruma. I could see soosu going to study the colossus too
zeph probably would just go travel
Zeph and Yuman on a honeymoon around the world
zeph and yuman go on vacation to zhight island
actually BtB could feature any of the previous sovereigns.
assuming itās post-wasteland selium would probably be the best choice since weād know of heās dead or not, and heās the most relevant of the old sovereigns.
otherwise just any fun moveset and apply a sovereign to it since be know nothing about any of their blessings
Xima in BtB
we gonna find selium like this
These are lowkey the coolest fantasy weapon Iāve seen in a while btw
probably
Theyāre just so unique
boomerang leaf sai
āLet me see what you have!ā
āA KNIFEā
āNOā
Oh yeah uh what are the ritual masks for
And why canāt I wear them
NOOO they obliterated him
i just did the lvl 111 quest "The Missing Piece" and the quest ends rather suddenly does this lore get expanded upon in future quests?
Why is it that when you click the button to enter fruma here it shows a train sequence, that literally makes 0 sense.
I actually despise this so much
might be how the fast travel tech works?
I don't think you ever canonically exit fruma during the whole questline
I think a screenfade from black that puts you on the other side would be much more sensible though š
the train was an actual decision
SAME
yeah idk
And its an unskipable train sequence as well :|
Really? lmao
Well more like lack of decision lol
They just put the fast travel thats everywhere else
youre not actually passing through the gate. you cannot pass through it during the fruma questline
so you take the train from ragni outskirts
it's definitely not communicated the best
can you do the same at the ragni entrance
There is no train at the fruma gate š„
How?
What station are u arriveing at
lol
you go from ragni outskirts station to the torann station
So how tf do u end up at the royal gate š
Like if u would end up at ragni it would make sense
because it's gate to gate
in reality it'd be back and forth between these two
oh, then why not make it impossible to reenter from gate and put the reentry back inside ragni palace?
feel like it'll make more sense thataway
I see yeah, cause I did actually try to go back to ragni palace to reenter it felt more logical :\
ragni also more convenient because of tp scroll
so there's that
well
could just buy any fruma ones =P
what's the main usage for gate travel
Oh people are thinking that the Tasim alt option removal was actually intended
Its kinda useless
Iām on Reddit rn and just saw this lol
oops
not too far off given that the real choice is not telling
Well its still gonna happen just taking me A While aaaaaa
Iām a bit confused at the third comment because they seem to think that Tasimās reaction to us in the later quests was the result of us telling him
Which
Idk why they would think that
lol
same
(Not entering until the alt route is done is my own self-imposed restriction Iām not blaming anyone here)
š
i regret having the path available in queens recruit on beta
Iām losing so much monetary value from not selling expensive new 107-120 stuff early
it's a part of my character arc because I kinda did bad in some other quests
Isn't it mega work cause it changes like the whole story š
When i dont do the beta cuz i wanna play on main BUT then i also can't play on main cuz shit is missing š
All my classes are still stuck at 107 lmao
Sad
Because I set myself this stupid rule
yall the healthy thing to do would be to disregard the alt route's existence
true
Lmfao
Bars mf
i thought id be able to get it done prior to release, but the rest of the quest dialogue ended up taking more out of me, & it only ended up giving people false expectations
Smh people spreading misinformation
š
so. mistake. but it is what it is
I wonāt even be mad if the alt route doesnāt actually change any important events, I really doubt that Tasimās boss battle will be excluded or that he wonāt, uh, disarm Rex(ās bow)
But Iām just so mad at how the regular route was written that I absolutely want to do the alt route no matter what
it all ends the same anyway
How do u know all this without doing the quests
Is this how Deltarune players felt in Noelleās house
Disarm rex's bow š š
Like, Iām actively fighting against the game here
lol
This game thinks that I wouldnāt want to tell Tasim
Yeah
And itās ridiculous
Like, not even in the joking way I genuinely just hate this trope lol
i do also regret the implementation of it
(Even worse is when the protagonist is the player character that you yourself can control and the narrative forces you into the trope anyway)
How so?
but it ended up this way due to the quest's structure
and is hard to change as a result
Are the internal lore teams pushing for this or?
?
Like whose idea was the alt route
mine
what do you mean by this, im a deltarune fan
So you dug this hole yourself then, that's a shame :/
play the game first smh
but i originally conceptualized it for an outline of queen's recruit that was much more open ended than the final version
I played the game in so many time that I lost count
and it doesnt work as well in this one
I just realized that Tasim both Grimeād and Marcyāed Rex in a single second
Which is wild
Rip scope creep, don't overwork yourself lexnt š it's okay if purple doesn't play fruma we won't miss em anyways
I'm asking for the context of that statement if you misunderstood xd
is this the version which wastelands was still included
it doesnt really work as a secret optional route when it's as in your face as it is
no
well. yes but thats not relevant
ah ok
How would you make it more secret?
it had more open ended explore stages in between fights, where you'd get to explore the palace more
Gurl has one image and will use it to her grave.
(Amphibia spoilers)
Lock it behind 64 dialogue of "you cant tell him" š„
and to get the alt route youd need to intentionally get every tasim interaction in each stage
This happened many times before this is just one particular image that im obsessed with
Btw whose decision was it to have Tasim just do that
He could have just did the stab he didnāt have to do that other thing
It was actually just unnecessary lmao
weird route trying to make noelle thorn ring
It is a particularly easy image to obsses over I must say
we wanted a consequence
Whenever I first did queen's recruit I thought the queen's decision to boot us away was based on if we lied or didn't lie to Tasim
How is that related to the Tasim choice?
In deltarune thorn ring sequence have at least 3 dialog option that abort Snowgrave route if you choose it xd
it snew.
in the first draft rex was going to die
Ok yeah but like is there a reason why he did that other than āthe story needed it to happenā
Because realistically he needed to go out of his way to do that additional move, like, he was already in a stabbing pose when he charged forward
we decided against it because it felt like a death without much real reason behind it
Mhhm moras death was very impactful, seeing sui transform was great š
i kinda imagined it as a slash at the arm expecting rex to dodge out of the way
I feel like Mora's death could be a bit more
Like he gets to say his last words to Sui
Or like tries to say something
I feel like it's worse for sui the way it is now
Not even getting a chance to say goodbye hurt more
but we still wanted some physical consequence to that final encounter
Gikyo kicking his lifeless corpse across the room is disgusting
Yeah it fit their personality
very sick and twisted
Also room for epilogue content in future š„ŗ
i do think we could have pulled off killing rex. but i think it was the right choice not to
we need a Mora grave interaction like the one with Elise
I just feel like it would be more tragic if he tried to say something to Sui and died after rather than him just dying before we enter the room
Doesn't it disappear after the quest?
I think 3 grave interactions in fruma is far too much :p
oh you mean like, he want to say something but his mouth is so filled with blood that he can't say it
we need more graves...
snow....
SNOW GRAVES
where are the other graves in fruma
Gravebuster...
Is there a grave interaction?
Should also add a grave for rex's bro in industrial
chapter rewritten fan
Yep yep
eh
i mean like we burry or at least interact with it
nobody wouldve really made one
Ah
hold on lemme show you something
Oh yeah that's true
he wasnt like. officially part of the steel feather or anything
It's a bit weird that we don't get to see Rex's family at all
I thought we would meet them in highlands
He was just a cog in the roughworks wheel to be disposed
they are more of a background detail
the Roaring Dullahan
It's kinda crazy someone could get what inspired this image
But I wouldn't be surprised if rex made one while she was looking for him
there was a side quest planned in auburn that'd have dealt with them a little, which ended up scrapped
Worldsmith?
Any loose threads you want to tie up in the next couple of years with fruma or?
sans is the worldsmith!!
At least you personally
a couple
Aight good to hear
Always bet on papyrus knight
Jk we all know it's Rudy obv
i kind of want to do an overall dialogue pass of the fruma storyline at some point. theres some things i'm not entirely happy with
Just add the gikyo majin ao3 in a book in majins library
gikyo has a cut cutscene we wanted to slot back in somewhere
but didnt have time
it was a cutscene with gikyo and majin, but it played at the end of true colours, and was removed for tone reasons
Interesting
I can't believe those ao3 bars are actually cannon
Probably about majin taking the prisoners
Gikyo transform into a horse for majin
You've read it too then
Gikjin š
I have seen the art, i haven't read it
Good dont
this ship is worse than Lari x Bak'al š
Save yourself some sanity
Ship, pfttt it's basically cannon

so who tops
What are yall bets on the blessings of the past sovereigns?
For the record majin and gikyo are the oldest sov. Apart from two
Depends on gikyo's form
Caetal is just Plantern
oru:
Two always givem e the vibe that she is ancient as hell
Fogor
i think you do learn about caetal's blessing
Her dern coloured fit doesn't instill much confidence in me either.
Aelumnia Library has it
wonder how oru doesnt get bored managing a prison for that long
guess we'll find out
What if Oru is a changeling too
The same way wardens don't get bored in our prisons?
okay yeah got me there
Considering they originate from the wastelands
Oru is older than gikyo so I doubt.
Dropping the soap is universal no matter time and space
i think we do have blessings thought up for all the past sovs
Weren't gikyo and canopy dude some of the first of the queens changelings?
That's not stated anywhere who knows
The most mysterious sov now is Amastli I think?
Barely any info on him, just the portrait and that he ruled over the industrial district
I don't think he's a Nasin?
Btw can I talk to the characters somehow, after apotheosis
I donāt know where to look atm if I can
you can find tasim
the rest, not yet, but we will likely add that in the coming weeks/months
we're still sorta recuperating from the fruma release
Fair enough, makes sense
Kinda sad I cannot ask sui how sheās feeling after mƶth is obliterated and the rift has closed and such
expansion is still very peak regardless
i would love to talk to mr.math, he seems like a cool guy to be friends with
he is not going to be friends with you
lmao
Iām sorry but Z probably sees you as a deranged killer
he doesnāt even side with you at the end of apotheosis
He just looks at the queen and goes āfuck this fight, we have a bigger problemā, essentially
Goes to evacuate auburn forest
if you get to talk to him again Iād expect that encounter to be at least a little hostile and ambivalent
Those Torann guards hit me first 
The worst thing is, heās right
You break into the province again, illegally
Against all warning, take the train
Resist arrest, causing twelve deaths

yup Z is still a family man in the end, trying to undo the sins of house nasin. So killing children and parents who are military men and women in cold blood is disgusting
I love how in all of Wynn and gavel you kill and slaughter left and right and nobody bats an eye
and then in fruma you are instantly held accountable
The whiplash is crazy
There's a bit in rise of the quartron where you slaughter like 50 ppl and the boss is like "wtf dude they had families and shit"
good writing shows š
non-lethal combat when?
Also there's the orc storyline that holds you accountable
It's a pretty good storyline
In motherfruming fruma
You duel quite a lot of people and they donāt die
Though you do murder those guards in cold blood
or is it sui, doing that?

The thousands of slaughtered sentient canyon species :
Mr Majin, another ice mage has hit the castle
It's also quite amusing the we are still able to kill citizens, especially by capital's gate where tourists for some reason have very low health
Not necessarily though, Iād say
Player is a very morally gray character with a lot of potential for and history of doing wrong
But they do seem to care, they seem to strive for ultimately preserving the world
They arenāt like, evil. More misguided, too willing to reach the end, whatever the means might be.
Yo why when i look into my soul everythings just black?
Whats wrong the the player character
āWhoās gonna hear?ā
* ME
they also have 0 empathy
or at least had 0 empathy
I think player's changed since SE
They have empathy, just not for anything getting in their way 

they donāt even speak before SE though, so we really cannot know whatās going on in their head
They felt 0 for mora and syndra tho and only helped rex cause they were peer pressured
The player is just legit such an odd character
I think we can safely include the desire for more wealth and powerful gear. Given how often we break in and do lootruns which I guess now includes burglary?
lootruns aren't cannon
anything silverbull that isn't the actual silverbull corp is non cannon I believe
Itās not really made completely clear. What I assume is that in a way, the player character has your personality and is limited only by your own determination to push onwards in the story.
Which is why others cannot see anything when looking within, and your magic is described as a boundless, dark well
The silverbull lore grey area
Thatās my explanation, anyways
What about 'caves' themselves?
Is it canon or not š¤
I mean they exist but them having loot makes 0 sense
its just there for gameplay
I mean there are silverbull corps in fruma so anything silverbull fruma is non-cannon
It feels like with fruma its pushing towards a more deltaruny player is their own character we're controlling
I would say it makes total sense for palaces in highlands, bandit hideouts and similar to have valuable loot
yeah but like who keeps 4 t3 chests in a room full of worms
^
Ye
That makes sense wich makes the dialoug with the shadow lady make a little more sense
Truly a Frisk type of situation
Also Shadow lady says "Is this your reflection?" when your screen is black, so the intention was to probably infer that us, the player behind the screen, is John Wynncraft's reflection
Oh
That makes so much sense
what the heck
didnt think about that
deltarune angel player theory
I feel like this is too meta for wynncrafts lore tho
yeah I think there's a more grounded explanation
Is there?
the emptiness is supposedly there to hide the whatever is in there
also thinking because you can also draw out what's in it yourself without issue
Player can draw out not us
Yeah I agree, but there's a chance this was intentional from the writers
you make the choice to directly pull it out
Mhm yeah this is true
I think itās still funny because thereās potential for like.
āTwo, her Majesty was wrong from the beginning.ā
āAfter all Zhiraok has already killed me.ā
ā7 times.ā
āAnd when did that ever stop me from destroying her vision?ā
good bak'al
Peak
them side by side
Is this what happens when you focus on the endless well instead of your weapon when trying to recharge the nasin revival charm
I need to look at that dialogue still
yes
we don't know
I'll get the full dialogue if I can find it
It's weird tho cause you'd think people outside of fruma would know this stuff already???
Like why don't we have more suis in wynn
||Reach into the bottomless well.
. . .
For a moment, you feel nothing.
Is this your reflection? Emptiness?
It is. But it is also not. There was something here, once - you have caught glimpses of it before... but no longer.
And yet, you seem hardly affected by the lack...
It is still with you, you think. Taken and buried, buried deep, deep down, where you would never find it again.
Is this the source of your strength?
Whatever it was... you have not yet lost it. Something remains, something is hidden within that bottomless well... you only need to reach it.
Reach out.
A strand. Brittle, fraying, but... it is there. Colourless, transparent... but it. Is. There.
Pull on it.
A sudden rush of colour and light and energy and life, illuminating the unending emptiness - you can see now the extent, the sheer magnitude of this hole within your self-
You feel a deep, deep loss. Pain, anger, desperation, regret - and not all of it your own. A weight of something you cannot comprehend, cannot know.
The last thing you feel in this cavernous space is a quiet, mourning melody. You have never heard it before. But your soul knows it well.
The screen is no longer black.
You regain awareness. You look into your hand, at the charm gripped tight. It is charged.
Holding it, the sensation is unlike anything you have ever felt before. Energizing glow, soil and steel, raging ocean, and... something else. A melody, now known.||
Sui is just an exception
Wait does the quest say your screen is no longer black???
Or is that just describing the scene
I think the screen is black this entire sequence
I see
Bak'al
Okay so we had house twain, bakal and sui
You telling me that's it?
The Twain Father somehow found all of the most powerful orphans ever in the province??
It must be at least a bit common
xd
or probably sensed their magic potential
It's probably just something you can develop
powerful orphan radar
It's not like determined on birth
I mean it's apparently something you can be born with naturally.
How do we know this?
I don't think we know which type of casting magic the twains have?
the Twain library thing
or just a library near tower of ascension
i have foggy memory
Oh so big T did just have a goat orphan radar then lmfao
Bro casually adopted 4 of the powerful orphan in the province
yes the lusuco secret library
Big T š„
they have natural magical gifts
I still find this crazy, imagine how common strong magic users actually are
If he managed to find 4 just in wynn, who were the same age and born in one time period
It's mad
Because Two said Sui was a naturally-born manaweaver specifically
not exactly
Oh I remember this dialogue
there are there types of magic users to cast
But it also implies there are trained mana weavers
I only know of elemental and cosmic what's the third?
not like that
almost anyone can use magic but how they produce it differs
- with a focus (weapons, items, etc)
- without a focus (their own mana reserve)
- manaweavers (can draw from "an ocean" of sorts)
Yeah I do think it's probably possible to train but I assume it's probably not very easy. Since they seem kinda op and two implies even the natural ones are super rare
Do we have any actual mention of mana weavers apart from what two said?
nope
Aight so we don't know then if manaweavers are inherently different to non focus users?
no they're definitely different as I said
they get their energy from outside themselves
Just Sui's own description. That she can basically draw on the mana in the world around her and use it for themselves, which makes them pretty powerful
Which quest does two say this Im gonna check
Sui says it herself
almost any quest with Sui using magic
Sui mentions how she's never really tired
No the quest where two name drops manaweavers
Apotheosis
Apotheosis at the end
the end of apotheosis
One of the last sentences we have
Actually yeah Two says that the knowledge of manaweavers was lost with the old world
Yeah so she doesn't distinguish if they're different from non focus users
that's cool
have fun figuring out manaweavers
It could be that any non focus user can become a manaweavers
Or that focus use is not tied to the threads
what kind of elemental magic would you want mastery over
It's sad we'll never get any lore about this tho š
you might
we might in later quests
I think all this seem to make them more fluent and hard to deal with
I imagine it would be a tough fight if I ever try to neutralize Sui
an ocean of mana seem infinite
I think they're trying to keep it vague to lead up to some big reveal
apparently she mentions that it can still "drain" and she needs to wait for it to "fill" again if she uses too much
The few who may know don't say jack
When she stops the dam she says it felt unlimited to her
Huh so the only thing that make them better at combat is that even when they lost their weapon they can still defend themself
yeah because Tasim boosted her
Oh I see
I thought that one was clear, Tasim said and give her a bit of butterfly power xd
Isn't his magic intention tho
I feel like it's only boosting what she could do?
yeah it is exactly that
he supplies her with like, near limitless mana regen at that moment
I don't think sui has mana the same way the player and tasim do
Im made a metaphor
honestly Majin was right w/ tasims blessing being boring
ah
its cooler than his blessing smh
popping like a balloon ain't cool
Ye
tell that to Gale
Tasim have butterfly power wdym boring
He look cool as hell in those wings
I still don't understand how intention = butterfly lmfao
majin blessing: basically a god
tasim blessing: š§āāļø
at least tasim didn't blow himself up
oh? I never looked at the weapon dialogue
also majin trained his blessing over hundreds of years
or how intention means boosting powers
but like tasim had like 30 ish years and was getting close in strength with his blessing
intention boosting powers makes sense
weapon dialogue has a different tone compared to reaching the bottomless well
its less the strength its more "wtf is his actual blessing"
yeah its not as clearcut as the other sov.
here I'll get the dialogue for the weapon choice
@uneven basin https://discord.com/channels/143852930036924417/1495805797274484736
I made a the Bak'al design check em out!!
tho I still don't understand what's gikyo's blessing
just boosting his powers is mega sad
legit the most boring one
Gikyo being more powerful than the average changeling
xd
True
gikyo's is using the abilities of copied people
still kwinda wame
changelings can only do appearances
its hard to tell because we never see another changeling as someone with powers
but it is that
they're trained in magic
||You tighten your grip on the weapon in your hand. You concentrate on the points of contact, the feel of it pressing against your skin.
Through the weapon, you feel the singing hum of magic in the air around you. A sensation like warmth, like rain, like soil, like wind, like static... it is familiar.
Your focus draws inwards, pulling the hum with it. Towards the center of your body, your self, your soul. Flowing within, a rushing river - of magic, of mana, familiar. You know it well.
Points of contact - your grip on your weapon, and the charm in your other hand. You push the mana outwards, divert the river's course, and watch it flow out into the charm.
And just like that, the hum fades, and the river returns to its natural course. The revival charm is charged.
Holding it, the sensation is unlike anything you have ever felt before. Energizing glow, soil and steel, raging ocean, and... you. A catalyst. A hum in the air.||
gikyo used mora and rex's abilities
Oh yeah Gikyo can copy moves that is pretty powerful
honestly i was DYING to have a fight with a mimic player's Character
depends on which moves he can copy
I mean who says others can't learn it
but we never get that
see this dialogue makes it seem like manaweavers just do what is written here, the just leech directly from the ocean
Imagine *they copy us, that fight would go pretty hard
well he's not dead
okay player is an EXTREMELY UNIQUE case
we have no clue what the player is
It's kinda funny how fluent we are at it as well, to a powerful case
would be cool, but i feel like gikyo cant change into something too strong
no we need a superboss
who knows gikyo might've just been goofing around lowkey
I mean they could have made it based on ur class/archetype but it would have taken shit long
we are identified as too strong now, so peak
endgame players are cheesing too much
Didn't Sui, like, impale him?
he's alive
I thought gikyo is dead?
*They are not dead? i thought Sui pierce *them with ice
He's alive
I kinda thought gikyo was alive cuz i assumed they burnt changelings because knives and stuff dont work
That's kinda odd xd
interact with *their lifeless body is weird to know that *they was still alive
He's alive
erm
chanelings are weird
Why the asterisk? Because it's not clear?
No im trying to subtly remind the guy but he's a little stubborn š
remind about what?
yeah but meant the source of the magic
They/them theory
Wdym?
wouldn't it be more accurate tho
the 51 they them citation
cows i made an entire theory about it
the nature of the bottomless cavern inside the player and why it hides our magic
Well does that matter for gikyo to copy ur abilities
weapon dialogue choice at least confirms the magic we use is ours
depends on what magic they can copy, cuz im assuming gikyo cant just transform into like Orphion and win
Btw why do changelings look suspiciously dernic
because they came from tar
lol
Gikyo immediately cast 10000x fireball
from the wastelands
theory: Orphion this entire time has actually been gikyo in disguise
If they could copy the ones they copied, they could prolly copy the player
they probably could
no we can see it
it just looks like mesa
The devs just didn't make it cuz would take shit ton of time (or atleast i assume)
do u think gikyo can only transforms into someone he beats cuz gikyo beat mora, zeph and rex and get their abilities or smth weird
it'd be like overtaken anyway
Well rex and zeph are alive
So like "beat" would be pretty abstract
yeah but he still beat them
idk
cuz if i was fighting someone who was strong, i would just turn into them
I think they can copy anyone's abilities as long as they know what they are
or what they're capable of
maybe, but then why not just become anathema
anathema is an entirely different entity yeah
At most they could look like the queen
or one of the sovs
I mean maybe they could
It just makes more sense that they copy our "friends" i think
tasim!!
I think the ceiling would be advanced magic
probably
The answer is: they wanted to make the player fight the leaves of wind
anything above is off limits
I think Gikyo can genuinely transform into the look of anyone due to their changeling nature
but the copy ability part is probably near or at Sovereing level below
well how do we define sov. level š
just moving the goal here
like was majin actually strong
the level between sovs is so big
below demi gods or near our level i'd say
we beat all of them
cause he was weak as hell
ew is this p*werscaling
Soosu is too op we dont even fighth er
unless he is canonically stronger lore wise
1shots me at 40k ehp smh
which makes no sense
sadly it is
in context with what else we've seen
he's weak as
Are the others stronger?
lowkey i kept losing so many bosses in fruma but like its just cuz i kept walking into the vfx areas which do a bunch of damage
How do u know
He destroyed me...
I mean his boss fight was strong, but like tasim and gikyo weren't that far behind
was my meaning
like he only had 11m hp in the boss fight
how much is the power vs just gameplay quest scaling
this is true and is problematic
I first tried every boss in Fruma
they were hard for like the first few minute but when I learn their attack patterns they are pretty easy to dodge
Still strong attack
Tasim is just paladin, ez 1st try
I would just stand in like Syndras fire or the changeling goo and wonder why i kept taking so much damage
I need to try fruma live as soon as possible
try dodging with 800ms :\
How much ehp
40k, im bolt
Hmm
I just dodge everything
Majin just dashes into me and rip 40k ehp
Ig im just slow
I beat them during the time the server wasn't ass so
bolt expert wtf
I did spend like 21 hours finised Fruma xd
I played sharp and kept getting one shot by tasim
true tho how did the server get worse when less players were playing :\
tasim didn't have any one shots tho?
yeah I get that
I just love bolt's movement, even if they nerf the damage, I would still use it because of how fast it is and how versatile it can dodge anything quickly
I dodge 74% of attacks according to my agility, but the others 1shot me
gikyo took me 2 tries
The humble agi fail
I'm talking about actual dodging not agility effect xd
1st was because MY ULT KEPT MISSING AND I DIED
Yeah I know lol
oh how long does this keep going
I mean its pretty ez other than the mora 1shot
mora phase has a 1 shot?
how did you guys even die to mora
the mora 1 shot with no real telegraph of it being a 1 shot
yeha
Ye
I mean he instakilled my 80k monster
Launches on u and ur dead
Mora have a one shot??
Rex is the only hard phase
if it wasn't one shot then idk
nah u just go in circle
rex was easy because I just burst damage it
also dodging
I know my own attack's weaknesses
I have 20% ws btw š„
arc vs arc
I was running monster so I had 0 walk, I had to jump walk
I do that for every bosses, real tricks
legit none of the wynn bosses have any real aoe
what about the fire and water spells
If I happen to encounter an actual threat I just escape cast myself away
I always play with the mindset that if I can stay alive means i can still do damage
Imagine having reaction time
What about quira's water guy
apparently if I touch the water a few times I instantly die
just monster spam heal
I'm a deltarune fan what did you expect
I beat roaring knight no heal no mantle before
Not gonna avoid the 1shot lol
the water waves are actual annoying in boss fights
U need a fire pot
all the qira fights are exceptions they're all quirk based fights
fiery aura scrolls š
which water?
the wave spell that pushes you
You can't escape qira's cobwebs of doom and despair
Oh yeah if u lag out and u get stuck and take like 6 hits
yeah
Sky mushroom water spell, i love that
why do both gikyo and majin have that weird light circle attack, there is lore there fr
I'm so happy that fruma just doens't use the spell system
I get pushed once or twice and die not 6 lol
so tired of push pulls
Gikyo has that?
Hop in krisa manor š„
eh i just tp through the fodder
its not as bad as how it was in other areas
They still knock back
i just remember seeing it in multiple sov fights
lol
idk if its just a sov ability
Also the fucking trapdoors fuck up ur spells
I mean don't take advice from me though, i get 100 pulls from 100 challenge runs on average
In 2 hours?
i havent even done fruma lr cuz i did those castle caves and i hated it so much i never wanted to do it again
real
I lr with bolt
Well well well
lr with shaman
Shade lr š¤
I did just that with the same result xd
I think I'm gonna start with a mage class and try to warpslop my way in lr
i had a great warrior lr build but it was nerfed and im sad about it
The days when hero bashscream was the goat š„ŗ
Wtf did i just read
This never came to my mind
Parent got divoced with their children š
we're taking time off our lifespan clock with this one
I had fun though, isn't that what matter most? xd
š„
That's what I told to the bank when they tried to repo my house. It didn't work :(
whatā¦
the wiki just be sayin shit huh
I mean it kinda makes sense
"Hi I know what you did before being here."
sand underzale?
what
talk to croaquin
can you imagine dr picard doing the memory ball thing on him and we can bring eftal to picard as a little easter egg?
them being a changeling is implied but
i donāt really see the gikyo thing. āFather? Mother? Couldn' really tell. Dey seemed real proud to be my parent, though.ā like that could be anyone.
I mean
i get that gikyo is our resident non-binary character but also, that mf is not the parenting type
Do we know of any other changelings with an androgynous appearance
Mhhm this was my confusion as well
I wouldn't be surprised if it's just another changeling
Like azael is way more parently then gikyo
Yeah but
But azael doesn't use his changeling powers at all
Azeal would already form the canopy by then
It really is tbh
so he has no way chance to be who Croquin saw
Yeah but there are other changelings
SINCE WHEN
yedah but then again who else LOL
there literally only few noteable
I hate how the wiki is just injecting head cannon hear and thete
āsome believe it is worth it while some believe it is not worth it at allā š„ āļø
Why did the person writing that think it was selium
The last sentence there pretty much confirms itās gale
See house divided for my reasoning
Because the editor wanted to affirm their head cannon š
OH MY GOSH WHAT
Seilum transition theory??
