Patch 6.5 patch notes

[Iscah]

...

You're going way beyond what we were ever shown the Void Ark was capable of or designed to achieve. That's not neglecting to bring up an existing plot point, but inventing an entirely new and speculatory one.

And again, simply imprisoning Zeromus is no use, because then Azdaja is imprisoned along with it.

Also again, the Void Ark is an imperfect seal that has already failed once, or been broken into by other voidsent seeking to devour those inside. Who's going to spend the rest of eternity making sure the sealed evil in a can doesn't get unsealed again the moment you turn your back?

No, that is bringing up an existing plot point. And then one can mention how the Ark failed those of Mhach, and then another can mention we can repurpose the Void Ark. You are not thinking through this with an open mind.

Azdaja is another reason why it is weird Shadows of Mhach hasn't been brought up, because we like could've used the Nullstone here. Remember, during his boss fight in Dun Scaith, Diabolos uses the Nullstone to fuse himself with Scathach to become Diabolos Hollow. If the Nullstone can fuse two high level voidsent together...could it not also separate them? (Like, literally this is something I can imagine Y'shtola or Urianger could bring up in regards to the Nullstone.) Shadows of Mhach could've been brought up, but wasn't, and that's the entire point here that irks me. There are ways it could've been brought up and incorporated but wasn't. To my knowledge, I just woke up and haven't touched the patch yet. So...maybe they do bring it all up at the last second.

Plus, including Shadows of Mhach would also mean more time with The Redbills. And I would pay TOP! FUCKIN'! DOLLAR! To see Leofard and Cait Sith interact with the scions! Leofard and Estinien in the same room, just has me chuckling at the thought. Y'shtola and Cait Sith in the same room would be such an interesting time.

Anyways, off to play the patch. WEEEEEEE!

We were told what the Nullstone does: "disperse the very essence of even the most potent entity, obliterating it completely". I assume that comes with an additional note that it only works on summoned voidsent and not all kinds of entities, or that is far too dangerous a plot device to have loose – too easy a problem-solver, too dangerous a threat.

I don't believe it had anything to do with Diabolos absorbing Scathach, certainly not based on what that very plotline had told us it was for, even before the 6.X storyline made it clear that voidsent fight among themselves and consume each other to gain more power if given a chance. At most, if he was wielding the Nullstone at the time (I would have to rewatch the scene to confirm), maybe he broke her earthly form so he could absorb her soul.

In any case, yet again, we do not want to go obliterating Zeromus completely.
