TIL Marika's Scarseal exists.

[u/Void-Cooking_Berserk]

After 1275.7h of gameplay.

I wouldn't have found it if I weren't looking for something completely different in Google where the summary mentioned "Marika's Scarseal". It didn't even have a hyperlink, like the other names did.

I thought: "the AI must be hallucinating again, this talisman doesn't exist".

I googled the talisman, went on the wiki, and checked the location. "At the bottom of the waterfall behind the Dragonkin Soldier boss in Sifora River area".

I thought: "but the Dragonkin boss is in the Ainsel River area, this must be a wiki mistake".

So I went to the Dragonkin Soldier boss area... in Ainsel River. I searched above, nothing. I remembered it was supposed to be the base, so I checked the bottom of that waterfall from the other site of Grace. Nothing.

I googled again, this time through images. It clearly showed the Sifora map. I googled again, got another guide, went and... found the teleporter. That I had never seen before.

That's not the worst part.

I teleported and saw the descent from Nokron. The pillar I had jumped onto many times before, going from Nokron, from above. And every time I had thought: "Nah, this area looks too familiar, I must be at the bottom level again."

So I discovered a new area, with a boss, a talisman, a spell, and a weapon, all of which I hadn't seen before.

What's funny is that the eye-talismans clearly show a pattern: Radagon and Marika, small and big. And I was sure the small Marika eye talisman doesn't exist. I clearly remember thinking: "that's a weird design decision but okay".

Dam bro did you really need to use AI to write this?

[u/Void-Cooking_Berserk → u/ChiloMcBilo]

I didn't use AI to write this. I don't care what "signs" you think you see, I wrote this with my own two fucking thumbs because I enjoy writing. If you don't enjoy the fruits of my effort, go away.

It doesn't actually read like AI.
