Thread: Patch 4.4 (Prelude in Violet) Speculation Thread! (Possible spoilers [NO LEAKS])

We do have a reliable method of killing them, as the steps are now known. It is just costly, and should remain so, whether implemented through current or newer methods. I'd also like them to see make the subsequent overlords harder and harder to defeat, especially Elidibus, if he ever is a boss.

The other option re the method of permanently killing is that it takes a few off guard, and the others figure it out, adapt and counter it, neutralising it, such that it works but only up to a point. An example of backfiring would be that any methods found to prevent Ascian reincarnation, could likewise be used to limit or impair the Scions'/WOL's echo, if the Ascians were to catch wind of it.

Dynamic villains are so much better.

It could be that that will be the role he plays, with one of the Scions having a role to play - mayhap mutual gain through researching the nature of Zenos's echo. It's hard to say, as there's plenty of reasons to go there. However, if the Resonance is in fact the Ascian/Zodiark's Echo, gifted to some precious few, which I think it is, it may not work and he may end up having to ask Elidibus to strip him of it, to end his immortality. What can be given can probably be taken back. Could even be something he uses to get him to do his bidding. Now that I think of it, Elidibus shattering his soul would cause him to lose any hold over him he could have, so he may drag it out a bit.
