Interesting. I also went and got Dalv's key between posts.
Hello Ceroba.
Yes...
No turning back now.
Yep.
It was nice to meet you as well.
I might have forgot to bring the pie.
Doing this again:
I remember the day after my daughter died. The entire underground was devoid of hope. The future had once again been taken from us by the humans. In a fit of anger, I declared war. I said that I would kill any human that came down here. I would use their souls to become godlike… and free us from this terrible prison. Then I would destroy humanity… And let monsters rule the surface, in peace. Soon, the people's hopes returned. My remaining son, however, became disgusted with my actions. He left this place, never to be seen again. Truthfully… I don't want power. I didn't want to hurt anyone. I just wanted everyone to have hope… But… I cannot take this any longer. I just want to see my family again. Please… child… This war has gone on long enough. You have the power… Take my soul, and leave this cursed place.
… After everything I have done to hurt you… You would rather stay down here and suffer… Then live happily on the surface? … Human… I promise you… For as long as you remain here… My family will take care of you as best as we can. We can sit in the living room, telling stories… Eating butterscotch pies made lovingly by my son… We could be like… Like a family…
Ceroba final boss fight and Clover powers explain by the devs
I never realized that the final boss fight with Ceroba was supposed to be a trial to find out her fate. But hearing the devs explain it makes it so much obvious...
And Clover having the powers to see the truth of scenarious by going to people minds... The truth in justice... It just makes the final boss fight with Ceroba 10 times better in my opinion.
