NPC spoiled the 4.3 trial!

So I won't spoil what the trial is myself but it was spoiled for me due to an NPC so this is a word of warning if you don't want the same to happen to you.

I generally check quality of life stuff first in a new patch and this time I wanted to check to see what the new Doyen's Clan Marks could get me and if I should farm some. So I went to Eschina (Primal Gear Exchange) and in her categories blatantly showed who the boss of the trial was.

I'm a little mad because it denies me my reaction to figuring it out in the story.

To be completely fair, you had to know it would have been listed under every other primal weapon. This and any others really are doing it to themselves at that point.

I avoided the NPC for this reason

For me it wasn't even the vendor. The crafting list spoiled it because it had the Wind-up [PRIMAL NAME] and the description was pretty spoilery too lol

Frankly, it wouldn't have bothered me if they didn't make such a big deal about trying to keep it secret. They got people's hopes up yet left multiple ways to spoil the secret in game. If they weren't going to fix the loose ends, they should have just not said anything and not hype up the "secret".

Sorry..you shot yourself in the foot there.
Can't blame the dev's for this one.

This is why I minimized discord, turned off the chat for potential spoilers there and started doing msq on a job of choice sap. Your own fault for visiting the vendor that offers primal weapons.

All things considered, if youve been paying attention to the story (and I do mean pay attention, every single detail, from the items in scenes to the theme of the expansion), the primal boss wasnt really a surprise.


Granted, I also avoided the reach like the plague during my msq playthrough. Kinda knew the npc would have the name of the primal boss, because all of the primal boss names are plainly listed in that menu.

Then just do it before checking all the names of everything else like gear and MB items gee. You spoiled yourself

Imo, the primal's name isn't a spoiler. Who BECAME the primal is much more important

This.

The Primal's Name, and the NPC who becomes the Primal have different names. I think it's a pretty far stretch to assume the NPC and the Primal are one-in-the-same or even one summons the other.

And it isn't like it wasn't heavily foreshadowed anyways. It wasn't really all that big of a surprise TBH.

Based on trends and Japanese mythology expect another primal to be named Amaterasu. If they take it further we may see Izanagi and Izanami as well >.>

I’m gonna spoil you all.
Tataru is a primal.

So that's why her carbuncle keeps running away? It can sense the truth, and doesn't want to be tempered?

I browsed the market boards looking for new items to craft and saw the name too. We all know better then this by now :p
If you want to be 100% free from spoilers do the MSQ ASAP, switch to a filter that denies shouts, yells, say, random LSs and basically anything that isn't your trusted friends and don't look at the forums.

I was happy we got said primal, whose reveal was heavily foreshadowed, I'm just upset over how the primal came to be. Don't get me wrong I like it and all but I was really hoping for a true interpretation of the trinity, now its slightly marred, T.T

New patch comes out with spoiler primal...

Checks primal exchange npc... "I got spoiled"

GG OP. Pretty sure most people avoid any npcs when they do MSQ until they finish it.

They didn't "make such a big deal" out of it. They just did not want to spoil people. And they didn't.

You read obvious spoilers, it's on you. Checking rewards first?! Why would you do that? When every single other primal gives rewards with their name in it, you should KNOW there will be the name of the new one there as well. And you opened the tab named "Primal Weapons". It's like opening a forum thread with a big, fat [SPOILER] tag then complaining that the person in there spoiled your fun.


Also...game cannot really spoil itself. I mean...it IS the very source of the the content. It's like saying that manga X chapter 1 page 5 spoils that same manga and chapter page 6. Sure, it's not exactly part of the quest line...but hey.

YES! I can finally kill that annoyance!

I just logged on and after the Doman thing, did MSQ up until the Trial specifically as to not get spoiled.

You HAD to know somewhere inside it would be ruined if you looked at certain things, crafting log, new minions on mb, ex weapons, etc.
