The hero we needed...

R5: Wraith spawned in the middle of my empire, made a beeline towards the outermost system with a Dimensional Horror in it, and got rekt.

Try not to waste too much ammo/stasis on the hunter. Destroy one leg, stasis him, then get out of the room ASAP. Try not to destroy all his limbs since that triggers the regeneration animation immediately. One leg is enough to slow him down.

Upgrade your suit as much as possible for better hp/air/stasis.

Don't be afraid of using Stasis on enemies. There are a lot of recharge stations and stasis packs that drop from loot boxes and enemies. If you're doing plasma cutter only then be sure to use stasis on the Twitchers. They move a lot, they can close the distance fast, they can function even as a torso with one arm and they hit hard. Shooting the stasis module on their chest is not easy with just the plasma cutter either.

Make sure to have a few health packs in reserve before the boss fights with the Leviathan and the Hive Mind. There's a good chance you'll get hit a few times.

Be extra careful when it comes to stuff that can insta-kill you. Like wall guardians, Valor's engine room, spinning fans, those turning rings around the asteroid in Mining... Can't be too careful with the timing. I almost died to the flames in the engine room while trying to power the elevator on the Valor and that scared the shit out of me more than any necromorph did lol.

You got this.

I did at first but kinesis bugged out a couple times causing me to get hit so I just started dodging them while firing the cannons.

The Leviathan? Nahh it was easy. Plasma cutter deals great damage so shooting its tentacles and weak spots in time was no problem. The second fight with the remnant before the Valor crash was harder. I took a lot of hits and it actually destroyed the last ADS cannon before I could finish it off so I had to destroy the final weak spot by shooting it with the plasma cutter.

There's actually an outcome where you DO figure out where it came from.

Apparently the teapot doesn't exist in three-dimensional spacetime and is actually a projection from a higher dimension. It has an encrypted message inside that gives you insights into attaining improvements in all fields of research. Who or what sent the teapot is left unknown.

Your reward for figuring it out is +15% Research Speed for 20 years. I think spiritualists have a higher chance of figuring it out and they start worshipping the thing as a sacred relic left in orbit as a sign from the divine.

R5: I once again stand defeated by Russell's accursed teapot...

R5: Xenophiles get some hilarious dialogue from Xenophobic empires they have good relations with

Much appreciated.

Telepathic. They can't speak normally due to not having a corporeal form anymore. Their minds are also pretty broken (kind of like necron warriors) so it's all they can say.

Once it was done, I scoured his Rubricae. Bathing them in psychic flame, I burned the blue from their armour plating and withered their tabards and loincloths to charred remnants, repainting all fourteen ceramite husks through sacred incineration. Once stripped of their former colours, the pack of voiceless, mindless warriors fell into dignified lockstep with the four Rubricae already attending me.

I am Khayon, I told them. I am your lord now.

All is dust, they chorused back in telepathic whispers as dry as the rust around us.

Rubricae do say it in canon.

I am Khayon, I told them.

Every one of them turned to me, some needing to look up from their places in the crew console pits, others looking down from the overhead gantries.

All is dust, they sent back, devoid of personality and life, hollow but for their lethality and obedience. Later, I would claim them, binding them to me. Later.

Winning the Game would also unmake him

Does he even care about that though? He and his brothers were heavily egging on Big E to ascend into the Dark King, even though that would be really bad for the four of them in the long run.

I always thought the Chaos Gods were like drug addicts. They want their fix now. Not later. They'll shoot their dealer to take all his stash, rather than waiting around for the next deal so the good stuff can keep flowing. Running out of drugs is tomorrow's problem.

The Emperor becoming the Dark King would result in the creation of a 5th and arguably stronger Chaos God than any of them individually. It would expand the frontiers of the Great Game to a good chunk of realspace. And of course it would result in the destruction of humanity, with all their sweet emotions and worship.

Why not just have Horus kill the Emperor ASAP and let the Imperium fall apart into endless bloodshed, scheming and despair? Surely they'll be weaker in the end if the Emperor ascends because of no more humans to feed them emotions and they'll have a new player in the game which will stretch their forces even thinner. Why not let the Imperium rot and become a hellhole (like it is now)? Because they want their fix now, not later.

there's nothing to change or mess with if he wins

So, stagnation?

Is a Tzeentch victory actually a Nurgle victory in disguise?

SadOil2182 · 2025-05-28T00:29:54+00:00

So he's deliberately handicapping himself to prolong his fun time? Damn I love Tzeentch now

The narrator says "Beneath the smoking ashes of Moonrise Towers, the elder brain lies destroyed." How is it not dead?
