    Tam-Tara Deepcroft and Edda

    Pacoeltaco posted such a nice summary on reddit that I couldn't resist cross-posting here.

    This was definitely my favorite mini-arc from 2.3 so far. Really hope we see this thread crop up again. Did the Lambs of Dalamud get out-creeped by Edda in TTD with her necromancy?

    It's sad because when you last saw her in uldah she was all fine and motivated to try again. We became her inspiration. I thought she moved on. I wonder what brought her back to that old state and spiraled downwards.

    But props to SE for making a dungeon so memorable. Great plot twist and how you were able to relate a dungeon to the main story.

    Do more dungeons like this please!

    The end of that dungeon AND QUEST... Holy damn, this was chilling. It will be a hard act to follow. It hit harder because we knew this person. Sure, there was the lady of Haukke. But that was impersonal. If the void has Edda as some kind of thrall now... door open for even more chilling tales of void-touched dungeons.

    I was amused that one of the final boss's AOE's is called "Red Wedding."

    So creepy, so BRILLIANT. I don't think a game dungeon has successfully creeped me out so much since Ocarina of Time's Bottom of the Well.

    And yes. Red Wedding. I was skyping with my party as that attack wiped us brutally our first run through, and practically shouting when I saw the name...too bad the rest of them didn't understand why. Can't think of a better way to slip that reference in than a place like that.

    All in all, can't wait to see where this storyline leads, because there's no way we've seen it all with an ending like that. I'm pretty easily creeped out, but I loved everything about it.

    You know, our characters have been through alot. Defeated like, 6 legati, defeated an ancient allagan weapon, cleared out an old, dusty allagan tower, and just crawled our way through one of the creepiest dungeons in the game. The least they could have done was at least make SOME kind of effort of saving Edda at the end instead of just standing there going "DURRRRRRRRR". That eyes closed in solemn reflection was a nice touch though.

    EDIT: How does everyone say her name? Is it Ed-da or EEda (like Edea)?

    Sometimes we think we let go of something we loved and moved on... only to find out it is still clinging onto your soul. Sliently staring at you.

    *why did you leave me*

    Guess that happened to Edda

    I agee, this was a goid arc that was continued. I noticed the final cutscene, after turning the quest in, outside of the dungeon, can't be viewed again. Or amI wrong and just not looking in the right place?

    I thought that was Edda in the trailer and had a loregasm right there. Now that I've completed the dungeon/quest-line all I can do is applaud SE for their work. Very. VERY well done.

    Which cutscenes from earlier in the game involve Edda? I vaguely remember her, but would like to watch them again to job my memory.
