true. although i took a great deal of joy running up behind the bloodborne bosses and sticking various pointy and shooty things up their eldritch butts. and then running away screaming when it turns around to get revenge.
Immunity to eldritch charm is why you play Turambar m’dear X’D
he sounds like a bloodborne boss fight on crack. no, scratch that – he’s the Nameless King from Dark Souls 3, only without the dragon and absolutely not optional.
Ooh, that’s a good size-ref *o*
….also there’s something in that good ol’ Bloodborne feeling of fighting an ancient eldritch god that was never meant to die, who draws its powers from something unnamable and fathomless and beyond your understanding, born of corruption and massacre, and totally at odds with your species’s survival, but still unspeakably beautiful in a way that stirs the part of your brain that whispers “worship, be in awe”, and yet you must kill them or perish.
I think it’s entirely possible that you’ve overestimated your importance in the overall scheme of things. If– and I say ‘if’ because as you know, fate is somewhat variable for those of us higher in the foodchain– if you are indeed the instrument of my Master’s ultimate demise at the end of all things, you will be exactly and only that: a tool. An symbol, empty of significance, picked by the Valar to represent some sort of karmic justice, so long over-due as to be meaningless.
And besides– it will be ALL things that are utterly annihilated; time, matter, life, good and bad intentions alike. My plans and dreams will either be fulfilled by the time of the Dagor Dagorath, or they will have failed long before. It is the full stop at the end of the final sentence in the story of Arda, and it seems rather trite to consider that your comeuppance.
Still… I suppose you must have some sort of comfort while you wait for your trivial role at the end of time.
I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU HAD GOTTEN YOUR DOOMCOOTIES ON ME SOMEHOW! WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU YOU LITTLE POLYP I’M GONNA DIP YOU TARTARSAUCE AND FRY YOU EXTRA CRISPY THIS TIME
