^New Challenges: AoT you offers a reward to whomever can recover the Prime Sock, before it's acquired by any of the villains in any of the universes. In the midst of a series of challenges, you must deal with both dangerous foes, and more dangerous, treachery from your fellow selves... And the key to winning this challenge is when to strategically betray your allies in 3+ way fights such that you don't die when they invariably switch their attack patterns, and start directing attacks towards you. Then, the sock is reclaimed by Cysero at the last minute, who reveals that he discarded the first sock after realising it was only good for keeping one foot warm at a time, and gives you the Secondary Sock as a trinket. I kind of figured that about Cysero anyway (it's been raised in discussion before). However, I was more inclined to think he was less overtly powerful than Warlic, but much better at problem solving. He's an inventor of all sorts of oddities... that type of craft would both require and build knowledge of the quirks of the magical and physical worlds. After all, he states that the weapon shop is basically to fund his projects and experiments. So with this view, the SMUDD issue was Cysero see very restrictive problem, Cysero solve problem. As to how far ahead he planned it, who can tell? Perhaps it's not a direct plan, but more of a method of working. It is an annoying tendency of some of the former devs to create stupidly overpowered characters, though, so maybe brotherinlaw's theory is correct. @brotherinlaw I haven't played AQ3D since the combat 'overhaul'. I'm not sure which statement you're referring to, but tinfoil helms are in relation to the earlier posts on this thread, Cysero speculation is from DF, and I take full responsibility for NifAkriloth. In a parallel timeline, Danyel survives his encounter with Roirr: but not as the Soulweaver we know him as. Rather, having absorbed the Mana Core Piece, Roirr is faced by Monty the Pythonweaver. ManaRoirr: 'This is marvelous! I can see sounds! I can taste colours! I can feel emotions! I--' Monty: 'Hello! I was looking for directions to the Mana Core Piece. Could you help me? I was told it was here, but I can't seem to see it anywhere.' Roirr: [thinking]: Who is this cretin? Roirr 'I am the Mana Core piece now, human.' Monty: 'Oh. I'm supposed to stop you. Could you just, ah, die? Makes my job a lot easier.' Roirr: 'I have just become God. Why would you thro--' Monty: 'Oh, so you're Zeuster.' Roirr: "What, no--" Monty: "I'm a big fan! So you made the seas, and the mountains, and the chickencows, big fan of those by the way, but I feel as though they'd be way better with flamethrowers., and I'm impressed that you managed it in seven days, really, it takes me a month just to finish a sentence--" Roirr: "I already told you, mortal, I didn't make those!" Monty: 'Not even the curtains?' Roirr pauses Roirr: [thinking]: I did make those, actually... Monty: 'So you aren't God?' Roirr: [sighing]: 'I'm not... that god.' Monty: ... Roirr: ... Monty: 'Are you the Messiah?' Roirr: 'I've changed my mind. I don't want eternal life.'
