    I'll say this - one thing I liked about Calyx was that he was a complete unknown. He came from no-where and his method of dealing with the Warrior of light involved methods we've rarely seen used before - I mean, he basically sniper-shot the Warrior of Light with an attack that would probably have been fatal if the power output had been greater and despite not being someone we'd ever face in direct combat, threw some pretty effective obstacles in the Warrior of Light's path. In fact I'd argue that without Sphene's motivational speech
    Necron
    might have actually been undefeatable.

    We need more like that. Not exactly the same - but it was a refreshing departure from the norm.

    And I have to say, I am tired of the 'enemy lurking in the shadows, manipulating events' trope the writers seem to enjoy.

    Calyx practically handed the team the solution by telling them how
    Necron
    worked. In turn, he ended up being the dumbest villain the game's ever introduced.
