Hello everyone!
Last week we tried to stop Lysonia, but she used uther to transform herself into a proper
Paragon of Doubt.
The Former Lightbringer has opened his eyes to the truth though.
The forsworn are in league with the jailer and the maw, a power he cannot stand by.
Taking some time to reflect, we make ready for our final confrontation.
We have defeated the forsworn at every turn.
Saved those not too far gone.
Routed them from our blessed archons temples.
Now only one remains, the temple of loyalty.
Lysonia has rallied her most fervent loyalits to the temple, knowing we will come for her.
We shall need the full might of the paragons to finish this.
“Why have you called us?”
“Uther is missign and lysonia has turned to the maw itself.
Madness has truly taken her.
To accept that witch helyas offer.
She must pay for her hubris.
If we are to assault loyalty, we must strike now.
Her power still grows.
Bring everything to bear, my Paragons.”
“This false movement ends this day.”
“Maw walker, rally our forces from our reclaimed temples.
We will clear a staging ground.”
All that Bastion has must be rallied for this final confrontation.
At the Temple of Purity we call upon the Watchers, but they’re dealing with a problem of their
own...
Watchers gathered at temple of purity: “We are losing her!
She was Lysonia’s soulbind.
She cannot hope to aid us against her in this state.
Restore the vespers to stablizie her!”
Ring 1 Vesper of Harmony: “Lysonia...My fault...”
Ring 2: “My soulbind...the Maw...”
Ring 3: “I am in your debt.
I was nearly lost.”
“My watchers will keep our forces fighting until the day is ours.
Glory to Vesiphone.
Glory to the Archon.
Glory to Bastion!”
The bearers are gathered at the temple of courage, even now still fighting with the
invading forces of Maldraxxus.
“We will finish dealing with these monstrosities another day.
For every vearer that falls, ti shall be on top of ten forsworn corpses.
The call of battle awaits, ascended!
Onward to victory!”
Our centurions are gathered at the eternal forge, a whole army stands ready to go!
“Yes yes!
Sika always ready!”
We need oru centurions in battle.
“Ok!
Just like practice!
Time to fight!
Follow Sika!”
Sika flies outta heeeeere
At then finally our collectors at the Eonian Archives
“Pelagos came seeking to gather the collectors to aid your task, but was consumed by doubt
of the battle to come.
We will need his skills on the battlefield.
You must help him overcome this!”
“Not strong enough...not....good enough....ugh.
This is your fate.
Embrace it!
I...Can...NOT....DO...THIS!
I...no....we....can do this!
I am NOT alone!
Together.
This will be your final failure.”
What a path of progression for our Pelagos.
Where at the start he was overcome during the trial and was in need of saving.
They kept him out of danger from time to time, thinking he couldn’t handle it.
But he has learned much and is now able to get through it
“You will never ascend!
All you will ever be is Kleia’s lackey!
You are wrong!
We are stronger together.
All three of us!”
“You will fall at the temple of loyalty.
You will join the Forsworn.
Not without a fight.”
“I had failed that trial so many times...but not today.
Well done.
You finally conquered your deepest doubts.”
“Though our numbers dwindle, we will never falter.
The archon calls and her collectors answer!”
Meet our forces at the Court of Elation outside the temple of loyalty.
“Our time has come, ascended.
Today the Forsworn menace ends once and for all.”
“Our Paragons will each lead a strike from the flanks.
Maw walker, you will push straigth ahead with our largest force.
We follow your lead.
Glory to the Archon!
Glory to Bastion!”
“Charging right in are we?
Subtlety never was Kyrestias strength.
Witness the full glory of the Forsworn!”
Our strike team offers us 3 special abilities.
We can direct Kleia to charge a target, dealing arcane damage and stunning nearby enemies.
We can direct mikanikos to toss a supercharged canister which explodes and deal arcane damage
to nearby enemies or we can direct Pelagos to each a sigil of clarity into the ground
nearby which increases our haste.
The Forsworn army won’t know what hit them.
“YOu killed recruits, nothing more.
Others shall take their place.
My champions wil not fall so easily.”
“Lysonia, it is not too late to give up this madness!
We are all Kyrian!
Silence, aspirant.
You know nothing of madness.
You know how this ends.
You will share Devo’s fate!
I had to give up my my memories.
My past.
My entire existence.
You dare speak her name?>
What my paragon set in motion has only just begun!
You think yourself righteous.
Yet you kill your kin without pause.
I will continue her work.
All of our fates depend on it.
That is the great hypocrisy of the Archon.”
If that went a little bit too fast for you, Lysonia says similar things like Devos did.
Not down with giving up their past, who they used to be for the flawed path of the Archon.
“rain death upon them!”
Push forward to the truth bringer “IT is not your time.
Rise and fight on!
They are still standing.
Again!
Colossus anima low.
Must recharge.
Then charge it!
Drain our centurions if you have to!
The way is clear to the south.
We must hurry!”
Chyrus: “We will keep their reinforcements at bay.
Push onward!” “persistent, aren’t you?
Buy us time!
The truthbringer is nearly recharged.”
“Stop them, curse you!
Athanos, give every last drop of your anima if you must!
Wait, Athanos...?
Y-yes...my paragon.”
Incase you forgot, A thanos humiliated us during one of the earliest quests in bastion,
showing any and all aspirants that there’s always more to learn...
“Surely you remember yoru training in the Crucible.
He was quite easy to turn.
Anything but him.
Tone unacceptable.
Removing lethality restrictions.”
“I said destroy them.
Why are they still alive, Goliath?”
“Must I do everything myself?
You will not stop my destiny.
Not when I am so close.”
Take the gateway to the temple.
“Taste my steel!”
Lol Xandria should just do this by herself.
“Get over here!
I will clear the arena.
The gateway to the temple is just north of here.
Archon’s eyes upon us all.”
“I cannot hold them for much longer!
Get to the gateway!”
“The day is almost ours, Maw Walker.
Claim it...for us all.”
“We may have lost the Spires, but we were not without victory.
ITs anima is ours.
I will finish what Devos started.
We will no longer be thralls to the archon, blinded by the path.
Kyrestia is right, the shadowlands are broker.
But to fix them requires strength of will...strength she lacks.”
“Step forward so you may disapoint me as Uther did.”
“This is your last chance.
Your forces lie defeated all around you, you have already lost.
Foolish aspirant.
If you are all that is left to face me, then it is you that have lost.”
“is that all you have?
Show me the strength of the archon.
Seize the victory you so desperately crave!”
“I can show you your past.
Give this realm a future.
Abandon the Archon’s lies and join me!
I will never abandon my kin as you have!
Never!”
“The day is already mine.
Thanks to your little assault, the archon is undefended for the first time.
Once the archon falls, even your precious paragons will see the truth.”
Rally to LEysian hold.
“The rest of our forces are retreating to the hold as well.
I only hope we are not too late.
If the archon falls.
Bastion would be hers.
“
“We will prevent any more of her army from advancing on the archon.
I swear it.”
Oeee look at all the fighters in the sky thats pretty cool.
“You must defeat lysonia at any cost.”
Defeat lysonia once and for all.
“Come ma wwalker.
bear witness to the archon’s end.
Kyrestia, your reign ends on this day!
The kyrian will follow a new master.
Empty threats, ascended.
Your master serves you only lies.
Such power, yet so blind.
Allow me to lift the veil from your eyes, my archon.
Now!”
“All the memories purged, the lives forgotten.
They will have justice!
We have become more than our pasts! can’t you see that?”
“And what has that lead to?
Aspirants unable to ascend.
Centurions rotting i nthe fields.
Those are outside of our control!
As long as we follow the path we can work through them together!
The path you walk leads only to ruin!
I will forge a new destiny for our people.
YOU ARE ALL NOTHING BEFORE THE MAW!
Uther’s shattered soul opened the maw’s power to me.
Now i will show it to you firsthand!
Have you lost your mind, Lysonia?
To become one with such darkness is to forsake all that it means to be kyrian!
I will stand by the Forsworn no longer.
I would rather forget my past than make this our future.
Justice will be done.
Lysonia’s champion is fighting against her!”
yeah get her uther.
“Impossible...what I saw...Ughhhh.
Your service is complete.”
“As for you, Uther...
My archon, i ask for your mercy.
I ... did not understand...
It is granted, for now.
Your actions this day have shown me much.
We shall discuss your fate in time.
Until then, you may stay here under guard.”
During beta times that was indeed Uther’s fate, staying here in Elysian Hold but they’ve
made a small change...
“Take him to the eternal watch until our archon has considered his fate further.
Thenios: “I implore you to place Uther under my care.
TWe must understand what ails him so, I suspect their is much we do not yet know.
I too would like to understand.
Please, lead the way.”
“My training as an aspirant was difficult.
I remembered nothing of my life.
Every time i close my eyes, i see my death.
I see...him...standing before me, that cursed blade in hand.”
“Devos convinced me that my death was wrong.
She promised me justice.”
“What we did to him was not justice.
It was vengeance.”
“Lysonia was no different.
I did not know that they wielded the same darkness.”
“Thank you for showing me mercy.
I will not forsake it.
We all have much to learn Uther.
Come, let us speak further at my temple.”
Mikanikos had so much fun with us that they’re willing to soulbind.
A steward soulbinding with an outsider, times are certainly changing and with the temple
of loyalty once again under our command, its power makes our crest of ascension even greater.
That’s where the Kyrian Campaign ends for the moment, leaving us with an Uther that
has a lot of thinking to do.
His soul was broken by Frostmourne, a power that ended up on Azeroth due too the jailers
actions as he ripped the design for it from the Runecaver.
This wound lead to devos questioning the path placed upon them by the archon, the brith
of the Forsworn and the powers of the maw trying to claim this domain.
Helya set her sights on tearing down the archon, first with Devos then through Lysonia.
The step between dropping Arthas’ soul in the maw and Devos allying herself to the jailer,
having conversations with him, wielding the powers of the maw, they’re not fully explained
and I hope that plays a part later on.
The Archon also seems to have a lot of hate for her former brother Zovaal, calling him
a monster, a betrayel that lead to him getting locked up within the Maw.
Once again, those details are still kept in the dark which is great.
It makes you wonder what could have happened her.
Apperantly devos thought that his imprisonment was wrong.
That this whole system of giving up who you sued to be to ferry souls without judgement
so their anima can be used to keep the jailer locked away, that that was not worth it, that
the path was flawed.
What happened there and I can’t wait to see it further explained.
Then for ranking as a lot of you asked me how I would rank the different covenant campaigns.
The kyrian one i’ll place at spot 3.
The uther, arthas, devos, jailer storyline is super interesting with the afterlives episode
being my favorite.
I do however think that the campaign jumped the shark with Devos being a boss in the spires
of ascension.
Not only did that ruin the surprise of Devos betrayed the Archon as the dungeon was available
before the campaign caught up.
It also pretty much dropped the mortal of the story in that dungeon.
The whole portion of why the Forsworn came to be and that the Kyrian must reflect on
the path that they walk, that change might be needed, that’s pretty much all covered
in the dungeon.
In my opinion it would have been better to swap Lysonia with Devos, have Lysonia be the
boss in the spires and keep it vague as too who she’s allied with.
Then the reveal of Devos would actually have been a surprise and the idea of ow, both sides
make some valid argument.
What exactly happened between the jailer and the other eternal ones could have been a great
closure to the campaign.
That’s just my opinion though, by all means share yours and as always, thank you very
much for watching everyone!
