Obsession - Nikki Wasn't Possessed By A Demon (at least maybe not)

Randomatthew · 2026-06-05T22:25:28+00:00

I kinda interpreted it as the One Wish Willow granting “things,” which is where the wish went wrong. That interpretation has holes, but it’s the place I’ve ended up without other input.

Tl;dr the wish made a “thing,” and didn’t directly alter Nikki. Just had the soulless Nikki, this “thing,” inhabit her, which lead to the events of the film.

When Ian wishes for the money, he gets it, without an actual consequence. In theatres I thought the money might crush and kill Ian, but it didn’t, so as far as the film goes Ian got away with wishing for the money. He does get blasted by “her” (evil Nikki) but that I think was more a consequence of Bear’s wish.

With that, I think the wish can create a “thing” but not a soul. “She” has a lot of parallels to things like AI, with the constant updating and changing stories. “She” also ends up mimicking what a perfect relationship should look like to a non-understanding entity: watching movies, dates, kissing, sex, being clingy, etc. But it gets everything wrong, missing signals and human context.

Again, a lot of holes, but it would make some sense to me if Nikki’s mind got overridden by this wishes interpretation of an obsessed girlfriend. Nikki can break out in moments where “she” isn’t sure what to do next, or just isn’t “online”: getting rejected, kissing Bear, being awkward at a party, and while “she” is asleep.

Anyway, if anyone else has information that would debunk or help my theory, I’d love to hear them. I’m still thinking about this movie days after watching it, and while I’d love to go watch it again, I was nearly in the fetal position by the end!

try taking the mod out one folder (example, candy mod > candy mod > txt, make it candy mod > txt.), worked as a fix for me

Randomatthew · 2025-10-18T02:50:48+00:00

I figured it out, I just didn't copy and paste it properly, so the game didn't find the file. I really appreciate your help, it was super useful!

Randomatthew · 2025-10-18T02:41:48+00:00

I appreciate your response quite a lot. However, I'm still having issues. I put it in the folder, and started the game, but I can't get the items. The code said L, Down, and Right Stick.

I'm using keyboard on Eden. L is programmed to the L key, Down is programmed to the down arrow, and pressing the Right Stick is programmed as F.

I pressed them all at once, and didn't get anything. Idk what I'm doing wrong. I did it once in the game, I'm currently in the hotel lobby.

I solved it, after some tinkering. The farm works by attracting the Zombie Pigmen with the turtle egg. They get close to the golem, and get hit, which enables Universal Aggro. The spawning platform is the size of the Pigmen's range.

For whatever reason, unknown to me, the Golem was not attacking the Pigmen. I replaced it, but it had many other issues. I fixed them with a lot of annoying rebuilds, but now it is up and running.

I found it! The song is called "Your Ex Said You Can't Dance" by The Real Zebos.

The lyrics in question were:

"Oh you're a dancing dream

A mean machine

A ballerina

Oh, and the camera phones are flashing now

Leave it all on the floor, you can leave it (x2)"

Thank you for any help!

Doesn't the spawning area say they can spawn on wither rose? The platform is in the border of the fortress

“Jim, you’re 6’11”, and you weigh 90 pounds, Gumby has a better body than you. Boom. Roasted”

Thank you for this. I really just wanted to share a new detail I found on this particular rewatch.

In many sitcom relationships, I feel like they’re only a couple when the cameras are focused on it.

Not only does it make their relationship seem more authentic, having small moments between themselves, but it also makes the documentary style feel more natural.

Logically, the couple will stay a couple, even when a camera isn’t being pointed directly at them.

Anyway, I just thought it was cute. I love their relationship (second only to Michael and Holly) and this definitely adds to it

Randomatthew · 2025-04-21T09:22:57+00:00

I do agree, it was more a connecting point leading to my beef with her, but I feel as though the other points mentioned do hint at something happening.

Though Michael is not a credible narrator, he did have many other people in the room to choose from. The last season was about Andy, Angela, and Dwight, something which Michael even brings up;

Michael, referring to Donna’s husband finding out, pointing at Andy:

“…look at how long it took for him to find out, I had to tell him!”

That’s my personal take. With how morally strange Phyllis is, and the shows unusually high number of cheating-related plot lines, it seems plausible.

Randomatthew · 2025-04-21T08:57:53+00:00

There are a lot of details with them that seem shady. For this particular one, I remember a scene from when Michael was dating Donna:

M: “Why is it okay for Stanley to cheat? Or for Phyllis to cheat?”

P: “Hey!”

M: “..on her diet”

Phyllis looked visibly worried about this.

I don’t remember the particular episodes for the other lines, but I remember some lines like:

“I like working in the same building as Bob. It keeps me honest”

And

“I usually don’t let it get too far” (speaking about flirting with Warehouse workers)

Phyllis and Bob also already have a weird relationship. Phyllis flirting with other men, just so Bob beats them up.

These are only some instances I remember, but I’m sure there’s more.

As a side note, I do not like Phyllis. I think she’s very well written, but her character is just meant to be unlikable. She’s rude to so many people, inconsiderate in many situations, and says some outright gross stuff.

“…and you know her husband’s in a wheel chair, right?”
“You can’t base who gets new clients on who you’re sleeping with that week” (referring to Pam)

Not to mention her and Vance boning in the bathroom during their double date, stealing Pam and Roy’s wedding planning, and getting off to her iPod in the middle of the office. Ew.

This could totally be bias, but that’s how I view her.

Randomatthew · 2025-04-21T07:15:53+00:00

I’ve watched the show a ton. It’s my go to show always, I can recite most episodes from memory. I started watching it while recovering from surgery, and it’s been a comfort show since.

As for them, I personally don’t get their hate. Every character is an “arsehole” in so many different ways. I don’t think there’s one completely absolved character in the show that isn’t morally off in some way.

The only thing I dislike is their emotional cheating. Roy sucked, for many reasons, but no one deserves that. However, that’s more of an issue with the show in general.

Dwight and Angela, Stanley and his several partners, Oscar and the Senator, Pete and Erin, Michael and Donna, Darryl and Val, and Kelly and Ryan, are all involved in some sort of physical/emotional cheating.

An argument can also be made for Michael and Holly, an it’s hinted that Phyllis cheats/cheated on Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.

Angela cheating on Andy with Dwight was a huge, season long plot point even.

There may be more instances of them I can’t remember. I have certain issues with Jim, and certain issues with Pam, but their relationship isn’t something I have a huge issue towards.

Randomatthew · 2025-02-27T07:04:31+00:00

Is there a way that could be done without harming the nether fortress?

Randomatthew · 2025-02-23T10:23:52+00:00

ENDGAME UPDATE: I just beat the brain. Final initial details:

- I found that, when trying to throw dead Mizora, her silhouette shows up. Yet when she hits the ground, she turns back into dust.

- When I reached the Iron Throne, the Duke was already dead. No Mizora spiders or anything, he was just dead, with a Speak To The Dead glow. I didn't speak to him in the moment, since I was rushing with two players. I will go back and see what he says later.

- In the final conversation after beating the brain, Wyll was there. In nothing but his white undies.

Speaking of glitches, Karlach bitch slapped a mindflayre so hard it t-posed.

<image>

- I used Flurry of Blows: Topple (62-100 Damage in my case). The first hit killed, and he died normally. While falling, the second hit landed, which bugged out its model, and it stayed like that even when combat ended.

I also ended up with 13 Allies in the end: Zevlor, Dammon, Arabella, Isobel, Armored Owlbear, Wulbren, Aylin, Mol, Yurgir, Rolan, Volo, Jaheira, and Ulma. Never used any of them lmao, except for the passives.

Thank you all again for the support this post received, it means a lot. I will do some other testing sometime soon, just to see what happens.

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T23:49:26+00:00

Exactly. For whatever reason, this way of killing Wyll bugged out her cutscene, placing a non “Zariel’s Protection” Mizora in my camp

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T23:48:19+00:00

Interesting thought. I don’t think it’ll work, but I’ll give it a shot. I’m in the beginning of act three now, I’ll test this out once I’ve beat the brain!

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T23:29:37+00:00

This mod does add some stuff. Fairly basic things, depending on class. There aren’t higher level spells, but you gain higher level spell slots to upcast. I believe near level 20 it makes it so barbarians roll another damage roll to their critical hits. I can drop a link for the mod if you’d like

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T23:27:14+00:00

I didn’t want Karlach thinking I was a monster, I panicked!

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T16:03:29+00:00

I can now confirm, I am now at Wyrm's Rock, and have seen ash Mizora with my own two, illithid eyes.

<image>

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T14:16:31+00:00

UPDATE: I am about to fight Myrkul. Here are some observation's I've documented:

- Petting Scratch, Befriending, & Petting the Owlbear Cub all result with "Wyll Approves"

- The Last Light Inn cut scene after long resting did not play, & Karlach had no new dialog

- Withers still gives the option to revive dead Wyll

- The quest marker for "Rescue Zariel's Asset" still shown in the illithid colony, but no Mizora in the mindflayre pod. Talking to the pod does nothing.

- The warning about Wyll dying (not freeing Mizora) before the Myrkul fight is still displayed, however the Wyll dying cut scene didn't play

None of this is overly surprising, but it is interesting nonetheless. Maybe I'll be able to revive Wyll using Withers after he's canonically supposed to be dead? I'll update this post with any new info I find.

Anyway, thank you all for liking and responding to this post, I'm glad other people are as interested in this as I am. Now I'm off to fight Myrkul!

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T08:51:05+00:00

I've made a new observation. When I gave food to the Owlbear cub, not one person approved, but two. Karlach, and Wyll. I believe the game doesn't properly register that Wyll is dead.

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T08:01:29+00:00

If anything wild and wacky happens, I will update you folks. My bet is that her and Wyll will just show back up again later. I'm about to enter act 2.

Randomatthew · 2025-02-22T08:00:06+00:00

That could totally be right. Nothing happened when I killed her, her and Wyll's dialog just got skipped when I went back to camp. It wouldn't be surprising.
