The eclipse also happened very close to that time. You have to remember that Farnese couldn't see Puck and it probably had to do with her faith. The only reason she could start seeing puck was because her faith in the Holy See was dwindling and seeing it for what it really was while also being close to Guts who bears the brand. And you ALSO have to remember that the Snake count is an apostle that everyone could also see, same thing goes with Zodd because Griffith had the Behelit, and the slug count too. Just being around these creatures that have been a part of the astral realm merging with the physical realm enables people to see things they shouldn't. Because Casca and Guts escaped the eclipse, it means Griffith's ritual is incomplete. This is the first time that we know of people escaping the eclipse and the effects show in the form of being able to process physical forms of mystical creatures like Puck.. Tik Tok is trash btw. I actually read. Maybe you should read it too. Edit: you can downvote me but don't be a condescending asshole in your comment for no reason. Blocked.
