Onigashima
[blasphemous] So here's some last-minute lore from wiki diving
Onigashima
some of it from in game, some from the comic that apparently exists
Onigashima
- The Penitent One's silence is not caused by the Miracle
Onigashima
he is a member of the Brotherhood of Silent Sorrow, who take a vow of silence as their form of penance
Onigashima
the Brotherhood no longer exists
Onigashima
reference the giant pile of corpses dressed like you at the start of the game
Onigashima
however, the Miracle did affect the Penitent One
Onigashima
in that he did NOT survive the destruction of the Brotherhood
Onigashima
the Miracle brought him back to life
izzy.vrm
oh
Niamh Vibes
oh god
izzy.vrm
huh.
izzy.vrm
... so the miracle resurrected him... to end the miracle?
Onigashima
I don't think the miracle ended
Onigashima
it simply demanded penance
izzy.vrm
huh
Onigashima
and the penance was done
Onigashima
but the Miracle continued, and the penance continues in a new form
Onigashima
I suspect to be carried out now by Crisanta
Onigashima
anyway the other thing is something people HAD been pondering on - timeline
Onigashima
the comic states, apparently
Onigashima
that it has been centuries since the First Miracle
Onigashima
but also
Onigashima
Albero is the last place in Cvstodia where people can safely live, in part because - according to some dialogue in the game -
Onigashima
time passes strangely outside of Albero
Onigashima
implying that the Miracle has twisted the FLOW OF TIME ITSELF
Onigashima
- The Penitent One's hat is based on a whole thing
Onigashima
- Some MAJOR lore from the comic, which it seems is mostly a prequel to the game
Onigashima
Crisanta is the one who killed you.
Villain
I missed bits of this stream so like
Villain
That last fight with her was also literally the first time I had seen her
Onigashima
it's the first time she's seen in the game
Villain
oh
Onigashima
but the comic establishes that she faced you before
Onigashima
your penances are opposites, so she must prevent yours
Onigashima
the details of this are not made clear
Onigashima
but her last line is
Onigashima
"If the Miracle has really pointed out to you, you will rise again upon the dead... If that is your fate then we will meet again."
Onigashima
And, well, it was
Onigashima
and you did
Onigashima
Blasphemous is not hugely interested in giving clear answers
Onigashima
- How about some endboss lore??
Onigashima
Escribar is the pope
Onigashima
he was pope when the Miracle first struck Cvstodia
Onigashima
he declared that the Miracle had forsaken mankind, and turned his throne away from his congregation, no longer listening to them
Onigashima
as he sat on the Turned Throne, the Miracle changed his body
Onigashima
he became a massive tree, growing far into the skies above the Mother of Mothers
Onigashima
and either caught fire or was set on fire by his congregation
Onigashima
the tree burned for ninety days
Onigashima
and when the fire ended, all that remained was a mountain of ash, atop which stood the now-empty Turned Throne
Onigashima
and ever since, people have tried to climb it to reach the empty throne and replace Escribar
Onigashima
but all of them have been weighed down by sin and swallowed by the mountain of ash
Onigashima
so the Escribar you fight... might be an incarnation of him from the past?
Onigashima
time flows oddly in Cvstodia
Onigashima
twisted are the paths of the Miracle
