Part 2: Win One for the Villain

Briefing

As we speak, Character, I can feel the obelisk being powered up. The Lost have worked with their Igneous allies to take over a portion of the Hollows, carving it to match their supposed grand expectations, and to draw the attention of this 'Synapse'.

Of course, the heroic fool will run straight into a trap. That's the genius behind my creation, you see. Synapse will try to stop them, but the minute he gets near the obelisk, it will leave him weakened and drained, all of his powers pulled out from him and put into the obelisk!

I will give the Circle credit; I assume they figured out the steps to then have the obelisk transfer its power to someone else. I believe, if what you discovered is true, this 'Lemkin' is the target of this new power. However... I have a plan to turn the tables...

  • And what exactly is this plan?

Mission Acceptance

A failsafe, you could say, one that I installed into the obelisk, should a foolish creature try to use it against me.

You will have to fight and defeat Lemkin, who will have the power of Synapse within him, though it may not be easy to do so. Once defeated, the powers in the obelisk will shoot out of him and into you if you utter the following phrase...

Alastor informs you of the arcane phrase to say at the appropriate time.

This only happens a short period after the power is transferred. It was a foolproof plan of mine; if I ever used the obelisk, I would ensure that no creature was around me. If someone else tried to steal it, then they would not have the time to isolate themselves.

This was their one fatal mistake, Character, and we will use it to turn the tables on them! My life's creation will finally be put to use, by US, and then, then I may finally have the peace to see that what I worked for in my life was realized!

Unnecessary Solicitation

There's only a limited window of time, you hurry to stop the Lost and take Synapse's power!

Mission Objective(s)

The entire area of the Hollows is bursting with lava. You'll have to navigate it carefully in order to settle things with the Lost.

  • Take Synapse's Power for Yourself!
    • Defeat Lemkin
    • Defeat Snow Maiden
    • Defeat Strongheart
    • Defeat Ranger
    • The heroes are defeated, but the Freedom Phalanx will arrive to recover Synapse in one minute. Time to leave!

The obelisk blows up, sending a vision into your mind!

Mysterious Images
Your tremendous use of Synapse's power caused the obelisk powering you to shatter into bits. When it did, three images appeared in your mind.

One of a temple at the top of a small mountain.

Another of a ghostly looking woman, convering with a man in armor.

The final shows the two shaking hands, the man in armor's face looking grim, but determined.

Debriefing

NO! That's... that's impossible! The obelisk... destroyed?! Why... why would it be destroyed? I put everything I had into it... it should have absorbed this Synapse's powers properly!

No... wait... NO! That's... that was it! How could I have been so foolish?! Synapse's powers... the entire time you had them, the obelisk also had them. He was still alive, and so it was trying to go back into him! He had to be dead for it to work properly, for the change to stay! All of that power, bouncing back and forth... it short-circuited all the magic binds in the obelisk, causing it to be destroyed. If I had just put more runes, perhaps the ones from in the eastern region...

My entire life's work, Character... all of my work, and it turns out it was not enough, it was not good enough. I suppose, at least one of us experienced greatness. I am curious, however, as to why my spirit has not vanished. Perhaps there is still one more of these obelisks left. But I do not feel the pull, the tug that I did towards this one.

I believe, then, that this is where you and I part ways. I will search for the remaining obelisk, to correct the mistakes of my past. Perhaps when that day comes, you and I shall join forces once more and show the word the true brilliance
