The Apotheosis Route in Slay the Princess - Playthrough and Route Endings

[@Blueninja-xt4ci]

I do like how much this hints at what she and you truly are.

[@CrankyTemplar]

Plus hints about the Narrator with how the Tower route leads to this route.

“The world bows to her” “Do it, then. Show me what you think it takes to end what is destined to end everything.” These lines send shivers down my spine

57:19 I think this should have slay her, makes the victory feel pointless if it is gonna play the same scene as embracing her Defeats the point of you can slay her if you believe you can It could have been that she falls to the ground admits defeat and gets taken before dying

[@reubensalter8125]

But that's the whole point - she is beyond all belief now, because _we_ believed her to be above it. Plus having Broken take charge and forcing her to empathise with us by binding us together is far more satisfying and amazing than just watching her crash to the ground then getting burned, or restraining her, since there's no level of mutual understanding. That's why ascending with her is also really good, she still empathises with you and proves that she is no longer Tower.

@reubensalter8125 I guess, still a bit weird if you contrast with being to make her fall by just throwing the blade at her eye

[@reubensalter8125]

​​​@@paulomatute4114Yeah but doesn't that already contrast it? Binding with her is a climatic end to something that felt anticlimactic. Meanwhile the eye shot was also anticlimactic but the climax was getting burned.

[@paulomatute4114]

@reubensalter8125 sorry I meant that it feels weird the beileving you can do it and pushing against her with the big blade doesn't beat her while the blade to the eye does

[@reubensalter8125]

​@@paulomatute4114It's Contrarian Vs Paranoid: Contrarian acts against the world's laws while Paranoid tries to understand and embrace them. But because our belief makes her stronger, she has become stronger than belief itself.
