Elro has rarely ever been wrong as in logically wrong (he's done plenty morally wrong), he's just been an absolutely unreasonable asshole about it every time.

It's not a story the Concern would tell you.


It really is tragic, and I think indicative of basically everything of this planet- messing with forces they barely understand. The Isi at least see the Ivory only really as fuel, nothing mystical... but the Concern puts so much value into burning it into people for the sake of eternal life and really doesn't care what that does to the people involved or the planet itself. So much fanatical devotion to their theology... And it all started with Fitzroy

The Ballad of Fitzroy and the Maiden as, by me, was wrote:As many people both here and on YouTube brought up, Fitzroy may have been the very first Father of the One Concern, or perhaps even a proto-Father if he's lived long enough to become a shambling, mindless entity. For that matter, he might've been one of the first discoverers of Ivory and its effects on humanity. Either way, he was most likely incredibly talented with how he could manipulate Ivory and guide his people to righteousness; it probably wouldn't be a stretch to say that he was what the One Concern was meant to be rather than what it became long after his disappearance. Then he fell in love with Leticia, who was likely of the Isi judging by her interest in their ways and her mention of "the ancestors." This to me suggested that the Tri and the Isi were once on friendly terms before theological differences and the Ivory crisis drove them apart. It would explain why both OC and the Isi have ancestral vessels--they were on the same mission to colonize a new planet after something happened to make Earth unfeasible to live upon. But I digress...

Not wanting to outlive Leti like he did his previous love (and the memory thereof), Fitzroy arranged to have her Transcend so that they could be together forever. Unfortunately, her constitution was only strong enough for her not to melt into white sludge--she essentially became a proto-Agent, with the sacrificial organs being her skin and/or a good chunk of her facial muscles. Because this happened before the time prosthetics could be developed to compensate for lost organs, she became a permanent resident of the Uncanny Valley rather than a Mendeleev-like siren. Needless to say seeing this would have traumatized many people, even Mediums like Fitzroy. In an attempt to forget he ever allowed such a tragic atrocity to occur, he abandoned his people and became a shut-in somewhere within what would eventually become the Glass Strait. Except, either because Leti's new face scarred him that deeply or he never tried to have newer experiences overwrite the old like he used to, he was still haunted by his mistake. Even after his other memories were all gone. Even after he lost the ability to talk. Even after he was reduced to stumbling around in liquid Ivory, fighting off anyone who intruded on his solitary territory. All he had were his powers and that one nightmare of a memory.

Naturally, Leti felt horrible for what the aftermath of her Transcendence did to Fitzroy's psyche. Ever since then, she wandered the ever-shifting world, looking for people to tell stories to so that her mind would not decay so quickly. Many would figure out that her favorite story was based on true events, and a few would get the hint to find her lover and put him out of his misery, but none would succeed. Soldiers, refugees, Isi, or even freshly-Transcended Agents, they would all fall trying to put an end to this tale. Only when the Ivory was close to running out did she encounter a young mechanic girl with a peculiar hairstyle--one who was feeling either betrayed by her white-haired ally or bereaved by the necessity of leaving him behind for her own sake--and told her tale for the last time.

And so Robin nearly drowned herself just to put a long-suffering immortal to rest. (Oh, and along the way she

that would mess with her head. Seriously, the only "good" thing about that tweak is that breaking it doesn't negate its effects, but otherwise...GOOD. GRIEF.)

Joseph Staleknight wrote: ↑4 years ago For the battle itself, Fitzroy was not quite that hard for me (at least, not compared to the other bonus boss). Really, the two things that would be difficult would be 1) parsing everything flying everywhere at once (especially that hand he summons with the bubbling Ivory beneath Robin's feet) and 2) figuring out how to damage Memory-Leticia's face. That second point, though, is probably the weakness of the fight. For someone going in blind, they'd have a heck of a time trying various methods to no avail because there's no indication that they're using the wrong ammo. I watched NakaTeleeli's "Let's Try" of the game at the same time as raocow's LP, and Naka had that very issue the first time he fought the boss. Boy, did he vividly complain about that oversight. As for me, only because I spoiled myself on the strategy beforehand did I find it relatively easy. (I'll also admit I was playing on Standard Mode--I didn't feel I had the patience for Harder Mode.)

Cyril wrote: ↑4 years ago It isn't a joke. Sebby posted on discord what he sent raocow and it specifically included that warning in bold text

I don't know why anyone doubts raocow's boss fighting abilities in a post rabi-ribi world.
