If you thought the ring was a rare find, wait until you get your hands on this!

It turns out the method the King used did not originate from his time period. His court discovered a ritual performed by a tribe from much further back. It, of course, dealt with sacrifice, but in substantial groups. This was supposed to concentrate the catalyzing properties of the item it was imbued into.

Payment will be at least twice as much as our previous deal. We can discuss it later - another night.

Trivia[]

  • The shape of the skull is a reference to Reaper from another Hopoo game, DEADBOLT.
  • The phrase from the logbook entry, "another night", may also be referencing DEADBOLT, as the same phrase serves as an introduction to the protagonist.
  • The phrase "if you thought the ring was a rare find" is in reference to the Wicked Ring from Risk of Rain 1. The Wicked Ring functions similarly to the Soulbound Catalyst, but it reduces all cooldowns upon landing a critical hit.
