Use Throné with the merchant secondary job to collect child support

[@offdutyenglishmajor9924]

Okay, that made me laugh.

[@HannahCatz]

That’s amazing 💀

Hol'up SHE IS A MERCHANT IN MY PLAYTHROUGH

[@aiis6821]

I unknowingly did that...

[@baconbits3731]

@@GodOfCulturealso turned her into a merchant so that banter where Partitio takes Throné dress shopping becomes canon.

[@alexanderwidmar2850]

Cant remember Claude being a rapist. Personally I think he has W rizz

[@HannahCatz]

⁠@@alexanderwidmar2850I think that it’s because he impregnated the women against their will. That’s the inference I made

[@mahmamia5100]

@@alexanderwidmar2850 Talking to and Inquiring/Scrutinizing the inhabitants of Lostseed definitely gives off the vibe that Claude committed rape in some way or another (if not outright forcing himself on women, then at least rape by deception). I mean, look at how fucking mentally destroyed everyone is there.

[@SpicyAvocado]

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE THEY CALLED THE TOWN "LOSTSEED" LIKE COME ON

[@arcturionblade1077]

Claude do be sowing some wild oats.

[@Senpada]

HAHAHA

[@hedgehoundable]

No no. Claude's objective is about coming IN, bro.

[@Peachuchan]

What an unbelievable backstory of Throné, I was so shocked...

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

Same, the fact she wasn't even in control of her own journey, its so sad.

[@ryuurei3728]

[@HannahCatz]

I was not only shocked, but disgusted and surprised at the amazingly planned out ending.

[@GodOfCulture]

Better than Primrose imo

[@HannahCatz]

@@GodOfCulture Never beat Octopath 1, assuming that’s true 🥲

[@xdxxxxddd]

Well, this story definitely went from 0 to 100 in a blink...

[@MrMangoustine]

I think no one saw that twist coming

[@kauedasilva1072]

I remember being so over leveled that I didn’t face any of those shadows… I am now upset.

[@Pao-vo8mf]

I also didn't fight the shadows, and I wasn't even overleveled... Claude was the easiest boss for me. I battled Dolcinaea at the same level and she was _much_ harder

[@L1ttleWarrior13]

Unironically I think Dolcinaea is one of the hardest final bosses in this game​@@Pao-vo8mf

[@kingofbudokai]

​@@Pao-vo8mf Almost by definition, if you killed him so fast he didn't get to use his gimmick, you WERE, in fact, over leveled.

[@HannahCatz]

I love how her theme sounds desperate, like she wants, no, *needs,* to be free. Whatever the cost.

[@cristiantowerplay]

Throné's father looks like Sephiroth😆

[@BananaGatorProds]

I didnt care much for her theme at first but ive come to appreciate how fitting it is for her as a character. It gives off vibes of both her desperation to finally leave the snakes and vengeance against everyone who had a hand in making her the killer she had become.

[@MrAuthor3DS]

Pirro, the Competing Brother Bergomi, the Prickly Snowhare Mother, the Daunting Disciplinarian Father, the Heartbroken Killer Claude, the Central Link of all Snakes

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

The fact that her very birth started in chains is horrifying, along with her journey as a whole also being a planned destiny, but apon killing her birth father could she truely break the chains.

[@sun-dried-onion-noodles]

I killed Claude before I could see the phantom snakes, and my sister said it was really cool, and Throne being my protag really dampened my liking of her story :( Still really like the game though.

[@TheShanicpower]

TIL this dude can live beyond the first break.

[@josephryantengco3671]

i just noticed how OT2 OSTs took some leitmotifs from OT COTC Bestower of All Arc - Hell. Especially when it comes to the start of each OT2 pieces.

[@Zeromortisimus]

Cassti: Has her dead friend guide her. Osvald: Wife murdered and turned into a monster, daughter kidnapped and almost sacrificed for good Temenos: Good friends killed by a corrupted member of same order Hikari: Tries to save a kingdom driven mad by power Agnea: Honestly her story isnt that dark and depressing Partitio: Becomes rich with the power of friendship Throne: Murders her entire family to be free from it. I dunno man. Of all of em, Throne's story is just so messed up. Imagine having your entire existence meant to replace a person who's main goal was to create a bunch of kids, have them slaughter each other and have the last man standing serve as a vessel for Vide. (Correct me if im wrong pls)

[@AlphaPHK]

Yo wtf you forgor Ochette 🗿 But I agree, her story is just really messed up and a bit scary too. When you think you finally get it, they pull the Lostseed thing at the end and it's insane, like how no one noticed an entire abandoned city right down there?? 💀

[@toledochristianmatthew9919]

​@@AlphaPHKthe city was not underground. It was across the valley on top of the mountains only accessed by the gondola.

[@Pao-vo8mf]

the parent killing motiff is what makes throné's story awesome imo. it really captures how family bonds can be the darkest thing in the world and the quest to become free and end abuse by commiting what's widely considered to be the worst crime of all

[@Pao-vo8mf]

father not being her father, and her true mother (marietta) not being the obvious good woman among snakes but turning out to be rotten like the rest of them, were incredible plot twists, too.

[@mahmamia5100]

@@AlphaPHK Ochette's story was so grim and sad, too, underneath her cuteness. One of the three Guardians was killed. Another one's eggs were destroyed, driving her mad with grief. And then whichever companion you DIDN'T pick for Ochette goes on to be captured and tortured/experimented on for who knows how long, becoming an anguished monstrosity driven mad by the pain and hatred they experienced, and you have to basically mercy kill them... at least their final moments are spent in the company of someone who cares for them, but still.

[@TheElementsAreWithMe]

Though i feel this version of the theme is the weakest of them all, its just strong enough to spell out this one liner: "You must die in order for others to live."

[@mxqi9858]

Why did this boss drop dead so fast with hikari?

[@leargamma4912]

Hikari is amazing that's why

[@hanzonoskillmercymainbtw8584]

He has the lowest health of all the final chapter bosses, sitting at around 65k when most have 80-100k. Granted he does have the phantom specters but depending on your setup you can nuke him before he can even get through most of them.

[@vladi3862]

why is every npc in lostseed named after hollow knight? and why is nobody talking about this?

[@jeremyburlingame6248]

1 to 100 real quick

[@MiniBahamut]

talk about fubar

[@dclan9813]

SPOILER . . . . So can anyone explain what Lostseed is? Is Claude really impregnate thousands of women to make a whole town filled with dysfunctional people? Or this town is the fallen kingdom lead by D'Arqest and Claude just use this as his base of operations?

[@duonggdat]

Considering Trousseau and Castti visited Lostseed and at that time Claude corrupted Trousseau, I reckon it was a kingdom but is slowly falling down. Then Claude received D’arquest's accursed blood to become immortal and made it a base for his plot.

[@tntdragon109]

The Tale of Lostseed that the gondola guide tells you about a prince and princess of enemy kingdoms falling in love, in which their love causes a way, and they flee to a valley with their loyal retainers, creating Lostseed, are likely Claude's parents. D'arqest was the grandfather of Claude, and while Claude was in the womb, he imbued him with the blood of Vide, which made him immortal. D'arqest likely wasn't the king of either the prince's or the princess' kingdom, (as he's an evil archmage) but rather impregnated the queen of one of the sides (likely without consent or without the king or queen even knowing). Those prince and princess kingdoms were Fj'all and Delstach, (kingdoms referenced in Masoud's Mercantile Manuscript from Partitio's Scent of Commerce) with the Great Wall (outside of what would be now Stormhail) between them. Fj'all eventually fell and became Stormhail and Delstach became New Delsta (you can see the ruins of Delstach north of New Delsta in the open plains region) The giant hole in the Great Wall is named the Pit of D'arqest. And the creation of the hole in the wall was one of the other catalysts for the war, along with the prince and princess love. And they couldn't separate as the princess was already pregnant. D'arqest likely created the Pit to cause the war, so they could flee and he could give Claude the blood of Vide and raise him to become a vessel TLDR: D'arqest created a war between two nations so his child and the other prince/princess would flee and create Lostseed, far away from any other influence, and allow D'arqest to make Clauds into his vessel.
