World Orphion (rol)

The Realm of Light quest line was a trilogy of quests in Gavel, namely the Dark Forest, Light Forest, and Realm of Light. I'm not going to rant about the quests, though they weren't the best.

However, once we finished the final quest (Realm of Light), the last NPC (Gaclux) told us that eventually we could come back and beat up the light doggo (Orphion). However, the quest is a VERY old quest, and after all these updates, which would allow an amazing boss fight, there is still nothing there, and we can't beat anything up.

I've thought of a few different ways they could implement this, though a lot of them are probably bad.
PLEASE VOTE IN THE POLL WHICH OPTION IS BEST

Strategy A: Implement a quest
Option A1: Quest name: Enlightenment | Length (I'm not sure how many NPCs are needed to determine length) Long | Level: 92

The quest will begin by the player walking into the area behind the seal (which will now be gone)
However, the floor will break beneath the player, sending them into a coal block teleporter.
The player will wind up in a cave, and an NPC will be behind the player.
???: "A human? Here? What are you doing here?"
The voice is vaguely familiar, though you cannot remember who it belongs to.
???: "Ozoth's claws, human! I recognize you. <player name>, is it really you?"
Gaclux: "Do you remember me? I was the one who broke the seal, so long ago."
Gaclux: "Much has changed, we do not have time for happy reunions. The time has come to end Orphion, once and for all."
Gaclux: "I will not be able to aid you, the Helioux are not warriors. However, I can allow you transport directly to Orphion. Enter the portal behind you, and hope you will survive."

You will then get transported into a boss arena, similar to to Corrupted Amadel's arena from Wynn D.

Boss: Orphion (95)
HP: 105,000
Mob Type: Invisible Charged Creeper
Spell: Teleport II
Weakness: Earth
Resistance: Air, Thunder, Fire
Damage: Air, Thunder
Basic Attack: Ranged, similar to Pyschomancer's Shotgun Blast
Other: Walk speed similar to Gale's Spirit

A wisp of smoke escapes Orphion's mouth along with his last breath.
You try to run, but you are frozen. The smoke enters your mouth.
Your vision darkens.

You gain temporary blindness. Once it is over (about 5 seconds) you are in a different place.

You wake up in a dark realm, with only light from the moon.
???: "The host awakens. I was growing worried."
???: "Who am I? It does not matter, soon you will forget yourself. We are the Fallen."
Fallen Creature: "You have been chosen by our master. You will be his physical host until he is strong enough to fully return from the abyss."
Fallen Creature: "You see, he was once a protector. He protected a great city from evil, though it was difficult work. He was a loyal citizen, until the hero came."
Fallen Creature: "The hero came, and the city's governing council turned to him for protection, as the cowards feared our master's magic."
Fallen Creature: "Our master created his own world. A dark reality. However, he returned to the human world. He began to take revenge on the city he once called home."
Fallen Creature: "He would have succeeded, if the city's army had not discovered his lair. His essence was scattered, but he swirled in his realm, in endless pain. He grows close to reforming."
Fallen Creature: "Your world will cease to exist. Our master will control all the realms. There is no hope."

Explore the strange realm.
Follow the trail of blood into the cave.

???: "So. It's you. The one who hosts the spirit of the evil one."
???: "In another life, I was a hero such as you. I was dedicated to saving the light, fighting the Darkness and Decay."
???: "I was a great warrior, the hero of Gavel. I alone had beaten the strongest monsters of this province. I was Gavel's only hope."
???: "However, that was long ago. I have been reduced to a mere shadow of my past."
???: "I thought I could defeat this beast. End the Decay. I came to fight the evil that now resides in you. It wasn't a contest. I had no chance."
???: "This is my chance to redeem myself. I can end all the suffering, and for such a small price.
???: "I am sorry. This is the only way."

The figure lifts a knife, and stabs downward.

???: "You must be wondering what happened. Allow me to explain."
???: "I was once a saint. A wonderful guardian. I ruled over an impenetrable fortress."
???: "Then, a hero came. He renounced me. The city believed him, because he was a hero."
???: "Oh, the unfairness. I was a simple magician, dedicated to helping the city. All I asked was the power necessary to do it."
???: "I could have endlessly protected the fort, but the city turned me away."
???: "The city believed him. They didn't realize he had murdered thousands of undead, souls trapped in a body that was not theirs, without a second thought."
???: "Did he protect the city? For a while, but eventually he left. The city was overrun."
???: "I will give you a choice. Join me, and receive the ultimate power, or oppose me, and die."
???: "If you decide to join me, enter the doorway to your left, and defeat the true representation of light, the original Orphion."
???: "If you wish to die, enter the doorway to your right, and I shall destroy you."

Gaclux: "You... you survived?"
Gaclux: "Tell me what happened."
He listens to your story.
If choosing to defeat Orphion (Joining the Shadow Scientist)
Gaclux: "I must say I am disappointed. This Scientist is a master manipulator, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. You will receive no prizes for your actions."
If choosing to defeat The Shadow Scientist (Not joining The Scientist)
Gaclux: "I am amazed. Few humans would have the decency to reject his offer of power, and even fewer would have the skill to defeat him. Take this as a token of my gratitude."

Find Helion's acquaintance.

Selene: "Hello dear. What brings you to our humble village?"
Selene: "The Light Realm? Oh my, I knew something was wrong."
Selene: "Orphion is corrupted? Oh no, no no no. You must help them. If the light realm falls, the Decay will destroy the mortal world."
Selene: "I can make you a ring that will be able to counter the corruption of Orphion. To make it, I will need: [3 Stardust Focuses], [1 Steel Band], and [5 Calming Stones].
Selene: "All the items are in my storeroom. There's a tunnel in my basement.

Travel through the tunnel. Throughout the tunnel, there will be collapsed floor you have to parkour across and monsters. Also, there will be parts where you have to sneak through darkness, similar to in Forbidden Prison.

Get the materials and return to Selene.

Selene: "Thank you very much."
Selene: "Here, take the ring and return to the Light Realm.

Return to Helion with the ring.

Helion: "Off with you, we have our own problems. I'll have to visit the mortal realm and talk to an acquaintance of mine in the Shiar..."
Helion: "Wait... what ring is this?"
Helion: "Made by Selene?"
Helion: "I will destroy Orphion, and save the province!"

Helion disappears.

Shortly after, you hear a large explosion

Helioux: "Ahhhh! Orphion is free!"

Go towards Orphion's seal.

Helion: "I've got Orphion cornered, but he'll overpower me quickly."
Helion: "Knock him out, now!"

You will have to build a gadget similar to in Out of my Mind. However, now you will have a timer counting down from two minutes. If you don't do it fast enough, it gets reset.

Orphion's Claw: Shears, Super Fast speed, added walk speed, neutral damage

STRATEGY C: DUNGEON
Option C1: Light's Decay
Key Guardians will spawn in Sky Islands(?)
Design based similarly to floor 7 in ToA (Holy, majestic) but with corruption spikes
This dungeon is a bit unorthodox, but it could work

Stage 1: Enter dungeon
???: "I have long lingered here, in a state of half-life. They presence of a hero with such potential has temporarily overcome the corruption of my mind."
???: "I am Orphion, the Light Beast."
Orphion: "You must defeat me. The corruption will soon overcome me. It is better <obscured characters>.
Orphion: "Hurry. Save me, hero."

Stage 2: Solve the labyrinth
This stage will consist of a labyrinth (maze) which the player must journey through. Inside of the maze, there are level 90 Light Sentries, which 25,000 health and rapid arrow fire.
The maze will not be a normal maze. At some locations, you can parkour over the walls, blow a hole through the walls, or reach teleporters. Also there will be jumpscares.

Stage 3: Parkour across the room.
This parkour will be special.
Green blocks will give you speed 3 for 5 seconds
Red blocks will give you nausea for 6 seconds
Blue blocks will randomly swap the colors of other blocks
Black blocks will teleport you to the start
Yellow blocks will teleport you to a random block
Orange blocks will move in a pattern
White blocks will behave normally
If you fall, you teleport to the start

Stage 4: Mirror puzzle.
This puzzle will be like the one in Aldorei II, where you have to reflect light to a certain block. Once done, a doorway will open.

Orphion: "I must say, I am glad that you have solved these puzzles. The corruption that controlled <obscured characters>"
Orphion: "Hurry!"

Stage 5: Combat. There will be different monsters, based around each element. Collect [20 Tokens] to proceed.

Stage 6: Boss

Orphion: "You have failed, 'hero.' I am corruption. Orphion is dead. Battle me, and you will die too."

Boss: Dark Orphion (94)
HP: 135,000
Ability: Charge II
Weakness: Earth
Defense: Air, Fire, Water, Thunder
Damage: Air, Thunder
Basic Attack: Rapid-Fire projectiles (glowstone dust) dealing about 500 air, 300 neutral, and 100 thunder damage each.
Other: Very slow

Extra: There will be mirrors located around the room. Sometimes a "charge" will generate in the mirror, meaning it is ready (represented by particles). You can press buttons by the mirror to change its direction, or aim it at other mirrors. If the beam hits Orphion, it will do 25,000 damage and temporarily freeze him.

Rewards: 100 falling emeralds
1 Orphion's Fang
3 Light's Decay Fragments
730,000 EXP

Shop: Not sure about the exact prizes, but some general suggestions
A low HP, but high HP and Mana Regen armor set. Also XP and Loot Bonus
Fast weapons for each class with large ranges of rainbow damage
SP jewelry
Tier 5 Powders (for like 12 Fragments)
TP Scroll

Phew, that took a while. If this is a bad idea altogether, or you think there is a better solution, put it in comments. If I see a good idea I'll edit the thread and give you credit. Vote on the poll about which option you like best.

Edits:
HP Values increased (@WynnChairman )
DUNGEON ADDED (@MarioYoshiBoo )
QUEST OPTION A3 + Suggestion for A1 (@(Meric) )
FIXED A1 LORE (@NPCGrian )

 

... Hmm I havent read through the whole thin in depth but it goes by really fast
You just meet this dude and he's lik go kill Orphion
No prep, no like get magic gaurdian helm or something,
Its an all combat quest really... Perhaps extend it and add more puzzle / fetch / parkour sections
Also why do they even give you something if you turn evil?

I will review it more later

 

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
too much reading for me
although the hp values seem a bit low :/
pretty sure CoW has like 100k and bob 160k so maybe buff that a bit

 

You killed slykaar in the dungeon though

 

don't forget option C: dungeon

 

you killed corrupted amadel and then you beat up shadow amadel and then beat up fully formed amadel 3 times. i mean, this guy reformed

 

Slykaar-Random shaman that absorbs life force; died
Amadel-absorbed the power from the 4 combined elemental shards with a power so great the ancients hid them far from each other

These powers are on different levels

 

My thread says that Slykaar's essence was in the realm he made, and it was reforming. Therefore, when you beat him in the dungeon, it just sent his essence to his realm, where he eventually reformed into a more corrupted version

 

It's not his realm
Slykaar found it and used it for his experiments

 

Okay , but same general concept.

 

No
There isn't a wynn-logical way slykaar would've preserved his essence in the realm; he likely didn't even prepare for a defeat

 

All I want is an MMO style raid and Orphion is the perfect opportunity for that.

So you should add that option.

 

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. Changed it to be a bit more fitting, not sure though. Advice?

 

The devs likely already have a plan for this so leave the idea

 

I’d just leave it to the devs. I do respect the amount of work you put into it, and I could see the devs doing the dungeon one, but overall I don’t like any of them. It’s not that your suggestion is bad, it’s just that I hate the whole premise of the Realm of Light.

 

I chose A1 but maybe its a quest for lvl 100 and that the shadow scientist is The Beast of all the lore from the DnD update and placed as an 'end game' quest like before the ToA update bobs reincarnation was

 

or maybe even bak'al?

 

iirc the quest used to have access to a future dungeon listed as one of its rewards, so the dungeon idea is the most plausible.

 

I love the Enlightment quest . Its just so brilliant

 

xD nice pun
