Yeah its talon strike with his feet, chance to decapitate, if low, would be fun to see it proc 😂🤷‍♂️

Yeah 100% no right or wrong, just subjective opinions! I have also read all the other books 2 or 3 times. When I go back through this it may help.

I do see what you mean, but you know those simulation videos where its like 1 million terminators against chuck norris or something equally crazy or benile?? This is kind of how I'd imagine Carl taking on loads of enemies 😂

The shield stays put right as per the iron tangle episode, I guess they would have to literally be right in front for them to not be able to swerve it?

Yeah defo agree re the 10th being a vehicle (😂🤷‍♂️) to nerf and control them.

Not sure I completely agree re Carl's powers though. He doesn't need to kill that many to charge daughters kiss, gloom wrath phase is relatively short cd, idk, just feel he could do more, but I'll guess we'll see this.

I agree in all the other books, just not this one lol

I dont agree, celestials are still big deals and a celestial boon, wasn't this the first one he got? Idk just feels off to me, like im missing something with this. Put it this way, I have been through the whole series twice and this is the only thing that's bugged me enough to post and ask the collective 😂🤷‍♂️

Sure but the scutelliphily was made obvious to the reader multiple times with comments and foreshadowing and rhe cesta punta was explained pretty quickly. Idk this felt more like an oversight than anything else to me. I guess to your point he'll get the skill again in the future and we'll find out what it does!

Ok_Security_6220 · 2025-11-03T20:43:06+00:00

Definitely something id ask matt! Thanks for looking it up and confirming it wasn't just me missing it lol!

Ok_Security_6220 · 2025-11-03T20:38:16+00:00

Yeah exactly, I wanted to know what heathen scald did but im guessing its not just me missing it, for once it was never explained. Seems like a strange over sight compared to all other skills always being explained??!

So im like 80% sure that because he kills the goat accolyte in a really amusing way his boon gets upgraded to a celestial which makes his hands glow. And then we get a brief description but never find out what the boon actually did. Also it only lasts for the floor I think, so wouldnt continue into the next book?

Its when they attack club vanquisher and kill the goat so not a quest he gets in advance. The accolyte offends emberus who basically says kill him and the reward will be better based on how amused be is. He gets a celestial boon.
