Isn't your score reset when you die?

Hmm... You're right.

Statement! Two-Love

So the new nugget I dug up in my continuing effort to index the thread is the code we intercepted in the Greens; namely, it settles the question about whether this cycle was unique/special/anomalous compared to the previous cycles. Not a very important question, maybe, but I do try to provide my citations!

OH DANG WAIT

YOU GUYS

Now that Cherish is back in the party, we should see if this other D:2 Checkpoint is active. The one in what appears to be Proxxy's private little checkpoint/storage room? The room that also has a hatch to the Hub? The Hub, which Proxxy uses as a shortcut for bypassing the dangers of the Warrens? We might be able to bypass the whole electric key thing and catch Proxxy by surprise by attacking through the Hub, assuming that Checkpoint isn't where Al and Riltia are to begin with!

Yer brilliant!

Although logic says we should be able to, it looks like no. Perhaps it has to be Cherish that uses the save point?

Hmmm. After we perspective-switched from Cherish it was specifically mentioned we couldn't leave the Underside back to D:2 because it wasn't one of the "known locations for your current party". But now that we've got Cherish back, she should be able to teleport us there! We should poke the savepoint more, see if there's more checkpoint options if we scroll down or something, or have Cherish poke it, see if it gives her more options. Previous checkpoints had a bunch of open slots, maybe we can only see our top three in the savepoint to conserve space.

Aren't those interesting ideas?


Anyways, who am I playing Questions with now?

[Inithis]

Perhaps I could be a worthy candidate?

Chapter 2.2 indexed in Advanced Navigation, 24 updates in that part plus one fan post translating the code in the Greens.

Spoiler: Al's Mystery Friend? (click to show/hide)

Also, while looking for citations for the above... when we asked Al if he was adventuring with Riltia to save us,



Who the hell is in this place that AL of all people trusts!?! It wasn't us, we died before giving him any instructions. I had thought it was the Chief (since he was onscreen for telling Al to use the somethingorother, presumably the Revival Tube,) but the letter to Cherish makes it sound like Al didn't trust Chief at all, with that "kill him if he's doing what I think he's doing" talk. Cherish was absent, and certainly not giving any instructions that would lead Al to revive Ciro.




I had thought these were the instructions, and that the LSS was the revival machine. But... maybe it isn't? Looking back, it sounds like he just expected Al to do the vampire thing in the privacy of the Greens. Don't know what that makes the LSS. And I certainly don't know what that makes "the person Al trusts."

Al's Mystery Friend updoot. Here.



The next time we see Al, he's coming from the right in the Underside village. That's one of the three locations we've seen the Chief, though it's also the direction the Rillborn were coming from, so I bet the Chief was hanging out in the Council room where we've seen him on subsequent occasions. I believe this because he was hiding from the Rillborn like any sensible person and not because the theory is more interesting if the mystery friend isn't the Chief, no sir.

This has been monk12, giving you updates to questions nobody asked.


Also, just noticed that Ciro's personality shift coincided with a crazy flashback. And by "coincided" I mean "TOTES CAUSED PROBABLY MAYBE"

No real hints on when we encountered Oric's Soul Star before the Oversoul segment, though I have a half-formed suspicion that the act of Oversouling was the connection... a lot of if and maybe in that though, I won't repeat it here.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Are you willing?

[javierpwn]

Well.... Oric is referred to as a Warden; and theFlash game states the Oversoul has a Warden, so because Oric guards/Interacts with the OverSoul we indirectly met him.

[monk12]

Well.... Oric is referred to as a Warden; and theFlash game states the Oversoul has a Warden, so because Oric guards/Interacts with the OverSoul we indirectly met him.

Yeah, that's basically it. It requires the Oversoul to specifically be a thing that exists and not just the consequence of too much Soul Charge, and it requires the flash prologue to be canon enough to allow as evidence that the Oversoul has a Warden, and it requires Oric to be that Warden, and even then it kinda implies that for the contact to be strong enough to count (we had already met Blue Chick at that point, and if she has a Soul Star it didn't show up) it probably means Oric was either manipulating the Oversoul himself at that time, or he was responsible for instigating Oversoul Mode to begin with (in much the same way he instigated Riltia's monster transformation, for... whatever purpose.)


...alternately, Blue Chick is Oric in disguise? Doesn't make a lick of sense, really, but it would explain why Oric's symbol showed up in Oversoul and not a new one for Blue Chick.

[javierpwn]

Yaos said he came to the Warrens to learn about and acquire new and powerful weapons and armor I think.

he came to the Warrens to look for A powerful weapon.

He came for Oversoul; which was described as a weapon sought after by kings.

A power sought out by evil rulers and corrupt dictators for millenea. One time-wrought eye gives life, another takes it. Total control. Total domination. Total and complete power.

This translation also says that a life must be given, in order for another to take it.

I've been saying the Oversoul was of plot relevance for awhile.

Also: If Oric isn't the Warden from the Prologue Flash Game; he at least Overthrew the position of the last Warden
Just a thought:What if the Titles for every sibling was decided by the "Angels" and not the Siblings themselves...

Betweenford christened "Oric The Awesome?" That doesn't sound likely, what rhymes with awesome?

I think this needs a +1

Blossom?  Possum?  I think I got those from VeggieTales... 

[monk12]

Screw it, I'm sticking with "Blue Chick is Oric in drag" because that's hilarious to me.
