#would also be extra knife-twisty if they brought in Reynauld's Head as a trinket this time around

[the-punforgiven]

Y'know, knowing The Collector's coming back to Darkest Dungeon 2, I just had a weird thought, so like, insane theory inbound:

And The Collector's whole Thing is like, summoning severed heads to take on spectral bodies and fight for him, right? Typically a spectral reproduction of the deceased's old body

Now, in DD1, I feel like it's kinda hinted that Alhazred might have had his eldritch power directly connected to the Heart of Darkness, meaning he could be, presumably, capable of using the power of an eldritch entity against itself

And, when he channels this power, he uses a head (or, a skull) with a candle on it to do so

Now. I'm just saying

That's a head, with a candle on it.

Which is, y'know

Something we've seen before.

Plus we know Dismas has Rey's helmet in his posession canonically, and that the devs have hinted Rey to be like, kinda probably dead maybe?

So like, 👀, y'know?

Idk if this is anything but I do think the thought of some sorta haunted armor Reynauld would be really neat

#maybe I'm just Coping though idk #would also be extra knife-twisty if they brought in Reynauld's Head as a trinket this time around #which I think is also a distinct possibility #I'm more than sure the candles on the helmet in more of an ''honor the fallen'' kinda thing #but still #a [redacted] can dream #Pun's text Posts #Darkest Dungeon #Reynauld #Darkest Dungeon spoilers #also like #I don't think his actual severed head is in there but I do realize the helmet has been like #the 'face' of the character in all the in-game materials #so idk I feel like it counts thematically at least
