How to Beat the BLOOD MOTHER in THE WRETCHED

[@lostsanityreturned]

The final scene was less likely to be the same hag but rather implying the existence of other similar beings, this one focused on disappearance at sea. I can't remember exactly but I am pretty sure it was hinted at when he was "researching" the first hag.

[@МихаилРадулов-й4т]

Yeah one is a forest hag while the other is either a sirene or water hag of sorts both having their teritory. Cuz it rly doesnt make sense when and how the hag switched to Mal when she got bashed with a truck in the face.

[@glennbabic5954]

People remember once the shrine and photos are burnt, not when the blood mother climbs out of a skin suit

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

That suggestion at the end is insanely sinister - there really are some creatures, forces, and constructions that just can't be beat by any ordinary individuals, and will get what they want, including the carnage. Mimics are some of the most horrifying creatures in fiction, because they mess with our most intimate elements: our memories, our relationships, our very perceptions of reality. How can you beat something you can not comprehend on a normal basis - you can't really beat a superman level power with ability to throw the Earth into the sun, but at least you can comprehend and maintain your sanity - mimics attack our very world itself, basically changing the rules of how things work, which utterly defeats any ordinary resistance we have to them. These are terrifying beings.

[@alexbrinzan9061]

Agree on almost all exept on the cant be beaten by regular individuals, if a focused and stoic enough person in place of this teenager finds out about the hag and just chooses to get rid of it himself he could have done what our youtube bro here suggests and also not only get all the mags from the cop but use them while it is on the fuking ground keep shooting until its not moving. If it doesnt die from 2 and a half mags of bullets chances are you either need to run to a gun store and get some real firepower like a auto shotgun or you just ddint stand a chance in the first place, still a better outcome, also the ending is just sequel bait and should be treated as such , the hag is dead.

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

@@alexbrinzan9061 Oh, yeah, possible - mostly, mimics are not dangerous because of their invulnerability or most any supernatural powers, they're dangerous because they mess with our perceptions of the world so badly - this is like having to fight, but you're high on so many drugs during this, you just cannot grasp what is true - but the world is swirling with drugs itself. Mimics are some of the ultimate social hazards, and one of my favorite horror creatures for that reason (and also some of the creatures I would most fear to run into - you can defeat so many vastly more powerful entities, but ones that destroy your own semblance of the world are some of the worst and most insidious.

[@alexbrinzan9061]

@@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic yeah, that is also why i hate them(in a fighting sense) just feels cheap ,yet obiusly very smart for them to do that. I like creatures that i can fight off with some clever thinking or just straight tactics and force, having to deal with a shapeshifter is a nightmare since even when you know its them you still have to wade trough those social shenanigans to actually get them killed.

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

​@@alexbrinzan9061 I don't think it's cheap as it is heartwrenching. These beings aren't as powerful as other creatures - arguably, humans, on equal footing, if a mimic is discovered, can route them out. Just like wolves are vicious pack hunters, and bears are much, much bigger than us, yet humans have successfully hunted these creatures to basically extinction in the parts of the world we live on, humans definitively stand a chance - systems would be made to discover mimics, if they were this big of a problem, just like, in our world, every existential threat has had some level of organizing and fight to crush it in our world, whether vicious beasts, or institutional setups of our own societies (which, in the longrun, humanity keeps fighting, it is simply what life does, fight). Mimics are terrifying. Mimics can be beaten, especially on the scale of nations and the world - even if an entire town falls to mimics that can reproduce themselves, for example, even if this society being attacked has a far lower tech level than our own, there will be organized resistance (militaries). Societies that generally fight each other will, in the case of an existential threat, team up to fight a much stronger opponent - the human spirit is not so easy to crush as to fall to these terrifying creatures. On a societywide scale, in a world where mimics are a major issue, we can respond - just, as individuals, we are really susceptible them, because they exploit our social networks we rely on so expertly, you really can't deal with them... yeah... Bonus points if you're incorrect, and suspecting a real person. Double bonus points if there really are mimics, but you just happened to guess incorrectly - mimics really can destroy everything about our social functions, which is about as terrifying as monsters that take over our bodies, and make us the enemies - these really are some of the worst types of enemies for us, specifically, as an intensely social species, much more than literally most any other species.

[@alexbrinzan9061]

@@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic i know bro, when i wrote cheap i was refering to the tactic itself being cowardly yet intellingent, its always the unseen blade that is the deadliest.

Somehow this movie takes the idea of a false hydra and just... Kinda ruins it. Which is a shame, because false hydras are among the most terrifying d&d beasts invented.

[@Hearty1100]

Indeed. Absolutely horrifying

[@hommefataltaemin]

Never heard of a false hydra before, what is it? Why is it called false? That’s a super cool sounding name!

[@Wolfspane]

@@hommefataltaemin A false hydra is a multi headed serpent like beast that looks similar to a hydra. It sings an enchanting song that puts its victims in a amnesia like state as it erases their kills memory from the inhabitants minds. It usually burrows under small villages or towns as it slowly eats the inhabitants one by one until it either grows too large and finishes them off or all the inhabitants are gone. The only way for people to remember the victims is if it is killed or their song is interrupted. Side note: This was a homebrew monster that grew in popularity for the story telling aspects of it. For now, it is not official lore for DND.

[@Olenhylkio]

What makes it false though as opposed to hydra with added benefits?

to clarify if you think its just ben in a skinsuit just have him cross the salt circle, if she cant cross it then you're vibing. and if he doesnt come back in a longer amount of time (its reasonable to imagine he should be out of the tree in a half hour or so imo) then just torch it

[@davidsmith7752]

As a general rule, if this is a genuine hag, normal weaponry won't cause lasting injury to it. You're going to need cold-forged steel or potentially a weapon that has been ensorcelled. Other methods can exist, including a lot of methods that work on Fae creatures as a whole, but will depend on which traditions are true.

Missed opportunity to refer to the cop/beach incident as Dogus ex Machina. Still confused as to why it took Mallory, and when it had the time to do so. Guessing that he's leaving town for a bit as implied via Wikipedia, so she'll have the chance to eat some Children McNuggets on the lake and then skip for new hunting grounds. But I agree with the assessment at the end - this thing's power set means that it can either grab a stupidly wealthy individual or their spouse (dunno if it's limited by sex as to what it can take or just preference), set up shop somewhere where wealthy people get away with whatever they want, and just nom down on kids to its hearts content. Loose laws, sufficient money, and the whammy it has means it'll be able to operate for decades if not longer with minimal interference.

[@cardescomedioses3674]

Looks like this cryptid is limited to posses only females, so it has relatively fewer options

[@DrakeBarrow]

That makes it a little harder, but not too much. Wealthy guys shed spouses like snakes shed skin, so seducing a wealthy business magnate isn't too hard when combined with the mental influence. It would have to stay out of the public eye, so going for a Bezos or a Musk would be a bad option, but there's plenty of other wealthy assholes around who get less attention and bring less attention to their partner.

[@noahfuller4128]

also, the film implies the skin suits only last for a few days, as abby body shows signs of rot not too long after the creature starts infesting it. So, it can't spawn camp as a rich lady

[@DrakeBarrow]

@@noahfuller4128 if it has a time limit like that for any given skin suit, that'd be a legit reason not to use high society as a hiding place. Might go the opposite route, then - take a homeless woman as a host in a major city like New York. No shortage of viable hosts or viable food, and complete invisibility. The mental whammy powers mean you never have to be concerned about police troubling you, and even if some of the other homeless people come to realize you exist, it's not going to matter too much.
