Continuing along that thread... ahem... The contract with the wreath and lead band was phrased in such a way (I can't remember the exact wording) that always made me wonder what would happen if Asterion chose to go out in tongue valley by himself, not at the behest of the master. Since the contract forbids the master from forcing Asterion directly, or making another person force him, to go to the valley.

If Asterion went to the valley out of his own volition, due to some very important need, would that still amputate the master's arm?

(1 edit)

It's stated that it would only happen if the master forced him to go out, even if the master is forced into making the command. it's also stated that asterion has to protect the master so the master isn't forced into making the command

If Asterion went to the valley out of his own volition, due to some very important need, would that still amputate the master's arm?

That's a mystery!

Finnnnnne 😂👍

I figured you might say something like that

A follow up on this, if Asterion does go into the valley, a lot of the issues he faced seemed to be him getting badly wounded due to skin contact with the environment. what if they prepared for the journey if they needed to go out and gave him proper protection? I get the heat wouldn't allow certain types of protection like full plate (even though he's solid muscle and could probably skip in full plate) but surely leather or padded armour would prevent most of the environmental hazards while the master can command any of the hostile creatures to back off

Good point! Leather armor wouldn't actually do much against the sort of stuff that's starting to wake up at the valley...

I had an idea for this that might end up being cut. I wanted to have an R&D project that would produce a special sort of fabric that can only exist in the labyrinth, that's resistant against most of the environmental hazards of the valley while still being unintrusive and cool enough to allow for exploration. We'll see if we can put it in.

I love the concept of the R&D portion of the game, and I really hope we get to see a lot more of it over the course of the rest of the game.
