Air is lava! posted:Is it possible to kill your family in the same playthrough in which you kill everyone sorounding arrise, to stomp down a rebellion? I think you can only exile them, not kill them, unless you mean assassinate Arisse, let Briony (and possibly Corisande) die, and then kill Kevan at the tournament? In either case, though, the answer is yes; all you need is the musician hired specifically as an agent and Lucille not working for you or already dead, because the civil war (or lack thereof) doesn't affect Merva. JosephWongKS posted:Is there any way to eliminate Armand as well and complete the familicide? I don't think there's any way at all for Armand to die. He won't join the rebellion, he won't send assassins at the parade, Talarist doesn't try to kill him, and as far as I know he doesn't even come to Lampsi Island except for the gala. (Which, with Evil Elodie, is probably the best plan!) Even with the event that's going to be the grand finale of the Evil Elodie series, he's (probably) safe(-ish).

I don't know why Elodie would expect Laurent (ignoring the Evil Elodie run); Lucille's plan would require he dies. I wonder if Togami will be less of a right bastard in the sequel. Killing her parents is one thing, but he doesn't have to gloat about it in front of a little girl.

Evil Elodie has been having a lot of fun lately. She's beheaded nobles, incinerated assassins, and laid waste to hordes of helpless peasants. Her servant has been beaten and humiliated. Her friends have been left to gruesome tentacled deaths. Her family, young and old, have been executed for treason. But something is missing from Evil Elodie's life. And that something is true evil... Elodie spends the early portion of her journey to ultimate evil doing the following: *Allowing a snake to bite Charlotte *Becoming a lumen *Whipping Alice for clumsiness *Beheading the Ixionite diplomat and sending his head back to the Ixionites as a declaration of war *Winning the aforementioned war *Brutally rejecting Talarist *Executing the poisoner *Skipping the parade and yelling at Alice for daring to question her *Killing Lucille by summoning a creeping shade that would later kill an innocent squire *Hunting at every possible opportunity Basically, Elodie has been as much of a monster as possible in 19 weeks.    He does not deny the act, but requests a pardon that he might be set free. If you admit you killed your wife, why do you think I'm going to set you free?Condemned Man Save me, Your Majesty! Wasn't my fault. Demons made me do it. Everyone knows the power of magical beasties! They used me, they twisted my fingers into chains... My wife found me screaming, she tried to shake me, and the chains wrapped around her... I need the priestesses to bless me and make me clean again!  (Demons? This man is a Lumen! Where did he get a crystal?) It was a demon's magic that killed your wife? Not your own magic?Condemned Man ... So you know what I am.  He throws out his hands, and his fingertips elongate into floating strings of gold. Condemned Man DIE!  Golden chains slash at you like whips.  With so much warning, of course, it is easy for you to resist. His attack bounces harmlessly off your shields, the chains flying back in the direction from which they came... where they find an easier target.  Before your eyes, the renegade Lumen is choked to death by his own powers. After a moment, an orange crystal materialises next to his body.  I guess I'll have to take that for safe keeping.A few weeks later...     Is it possible to combine that crystal with mine to make it stronger? Each Lumen can hold only one crystal. The only way to combine their magic is if a living wielder chooses to join its power to another. Oh. So I should destroy other crystals, to stop anyone from using them against me. That is the traditional policy - but it is a lie. Lumen crystals cannot be destroyed. Rulers claim otherwise to discourage thieves from seeking dangerous treasures. What am I supposed to do with a crystal, then? Guard it, or hide it, or give it into other hands to wield. But if the last holder of the crystal was an enemy, the resonance of the crystal will work against you. It will be attuned to a personality as foolish or violent or scheming as the Lumen you defeated. So anyone taking the crystal would probably become a new enemy. That's useless! A weak-willed candidate might be acceptable to the crystal and yet still controllable. You could then steer that Lumen away from dangerous paths, making an ally and changing the crystal's resonance. It is, however, a dangerous endeavor and one that requires your complete attention. (Not really a project I can work on while I'm so busy studying for my coronation.)  (Wait. In the past, all the Dukes and Duchesses of Nova were Lumens. That means all those crystals must be out there somewhere...)That's nice to know. In the weeks prior to the Shanjian invasion, Elodie spends even more time being as much of a monster as possible by: *Sending Adair to his grandfather *Executing Adair's grandfather after his assassination *Giving Elath to a random commoner for the lulz *Holding Briony hostage *Exiling Arisse, Corisande, and Charmion in exchange for Briony's life *Hunting at every possible opportunity Finally, her day has come...  A diplomatic delegation from Shanjia has requested access to the castle to discuss terms - most likely, for your surrender. You lack the strength to hold off their armies, and surrendering now will save many lives. It would seem that you have no choice. You prepare yourself as best you can to meet with the representatives from Shanjia. You expected diplomats and a military representative, a general or an admiral. You did not expect the handsome man decked in jewels who now stands before you - a man announced by your servants as Togami, King of Shanjia.    (Is he really their King? Why would a king come all the way here?) (And he's a Lumen, too!) My dear young lady. How difficult this must be for you. So much responsibility at such a tender age.  Don't pretend to be my friend while you're killing my people! Temper, temper, Princess. After all, I am here to save your people. War benefits no one, don't you think? Such a terrible waste. Better to settle things in a civilised manner. A contest. A game, so to speak, with Nova as the stakes. Should I win, then your domain will submit and accept me as Overlord with no further resistance. Should I lose, then my army will leave your domain in peace and shed no more blood. What sort of game? It is well known that Nova is ruled by Lumens. As it happens, I too possess the powers of a Lumen. I propose a formal duel. My powers against yours. The winner takes control of Nova, the loser... dies. Your game by your rules, for my life? That doesn't sound fair to me. The rules of formal dueling have been passed down for centuries and must be upheld. It is important that we do this by the ancient codes. Why should I? If you refuse, then the war will continue. I'll sweeten the deal. If you meet me in a formal Lumen challenge, I'll call off the invasion even if I win. Really? I swear it by the gods. Nova will be free and safe. Why take that risk? You're winning the war. It's not your land that I want. It's your crystal. It won't work for you! How little you know. Under the right circumstances, resonance can be changed. To gain your power, I am willing to wager my own. Shall we begin? (I can sense his power... it's so strong! I've learned everything I possibly could, but he's at least as good as I am... I don't like this... But what choice do I have?) What choice indeed. Wait! There's another way! If you want my power... I can *give* it to you. You don't have to kill me to take my crystal. I'll let you do whatever you want with it. You would willingly submit to my every demand? Yes. Let us see.He points a finger at your father. Join your power to mine, and I will incinerate him. Then I will know that you are mine.  Fine.You close your eyes and will your power into the King of Shanjia, ignoring the horrified screams around you. And then there is a great rush of fire.

Yeeees. This, THIS is a goddamn evil ending! That said, it should be...slightly different. It should totally have Elodie just blowing Togami up by the end. Nobody controls Evil Elodie, nobody, absolute evil shall prevail

It doesn't help that that design is ALSO a Sailor Moon knock-off. The main character's daughter used it during an evil phase started by a third party. Time travel was involved.

If Laurent is already dead when you choose this path, does the epilogue state that Charlotte inherits instead?

Long Live the Queen is 33% off on Steam right now, if you don't already have it. Also, I'll get around to showing the things I said I was going to show earlier eventually, like the epilogue that involves the squid poem.

Hooray! This LP got me to buy the game, and I've had a ton of fun with it, so it's nice to see the thread rise from the dead. I think we've seen the "Elodie never marries and she and Brin are suspiciously close and also Elodie picks up a kid somewhere" ending, and I think we haven't seen the other one, but I wouldn't trust my word alone. Also the game is 50% off on Steam until the end of the autumn sale, so if anyone new is catching up and thinking about buying the game to try for themselves, now's a great time.

Is the only way to make Alice a part of the story is to be a total dick to her?  What happens if you dance well with her at the ball? VV Yeah that's what I expect. I just hoped that you would avoid completely humiliating the poor girl

You're using Alice to humiliate the rest of the court, and that's a terrible situation for her to be in. The power dynamics in such a situation are so lopsided that nobody in the audience would interpret any respect into the gesture, and meanwhile she's going to fear backlash that you're protected from as a princess.

OK, so I should probably explain what is going on with the Talarist epilogue. I can't seem to recreate the situation where it actually plays. I don't remember precisely what I did when I originally got it, but I know I upset Talarist to some degree, and got the scene with the squid poem (you need to upset commoners to some degree to get this scene) and let the paper fly away. However, I've tried multiple combinations that followed this (and a few others that don't follow this) and I still haven't gotten it again. If anyone else can figure out how to get this epilogue, let me know! I've been trying off and on for the last month or so with no success.

 Not really sure how I triggered it. - I took the necklace with no court manners - Turned him down (ungracefully) - Left Adair with Arisse - Sent emergency aid when Talarist put high tariffs on the borders
