Ballos' Final Words

Knowing that Jenka was the one who confined Ballos to the island, I don't believe she would have felt compelled to bring any extra souls along with him... although this does make me wonder where all of those skeletons actually came from There are an awful lot there for them to be only ill-fated local residents and/or explorers.

Well, Ballos could haveve teleported people in to keep him company from long distance, but then not being immortal made them suffer the fate of being dead eventually.

Or maybe it's the skeletons of all the infinitely spawning butes that come into his chamber. I know they're not infinitely spawning, but there's probably a lot more. And after god knows how long, a lot of butes could've walked / flown in.

Hmm... I can't really believe that those skeletons on the floors of Ballos' chamber are Butes. Each Skull on the ground is around the same size of a whole bute

 

Perhaps Ballos damned the kingdom and took them with him as he was sealed by Jenka. Simply conjecture, but it would be interesting if he'd been surrounded by the remains of his past, whether it would be torture or pride.

Or both. Who knows how his brain's functioning after becoming insane, causing a mass genocide, losing everything he loved and then being sealed away for hundreds of years.

Maybe one part of his brain is still a bit wrong, which makes him quite like being surrounded by corpses but the other tearing itself apart, and that's why he wants to have his life ended. He'll never escape and he'll never die by his own hand, and all he has is the painful memories of what he had once.

 

His speech prior to the fight may be apathy as well. If he is still mad - which he probably is - it could be less of his remorse but a boredom or something similar that is speaking for him.

 

I don't think it's Ballos. From my guess it's the skeletons burning in the walls.

 

I have a theory on what it might be. I always thought that the red flowers were a curse that ballos placed on the island as jenka raised it from the ground, so I also thought that it was the spirits of the mimiga that had consumed the red flowers. Remember that their blood boiled, causing them to be enraged by the pain. Those who endured the pain, like Igor, had started to regain sense, but those who didn't eventually died, causing their spirits to forever endure said pain.

 

Let's look at this from another angle. So, we all know what the red flowers are: red flowers. But what else are they called? Demon flowers. So, if the Red Crystal draws power from the Demon Flowers, and the Doctor uses the Red Crystal, then that connects the Doctor to Ballos, because the destruction of Ballos means the destruction of the Demon Crown, and the flowers. (we can also assume that the Deleets and Presses are destroyed, but that's not really relevant) And why does the Doctor survive in spirit even if his body is destroyed? It's never stated outright. Is it possible that, between the Demon Crown and the Red Crystal, his connection with Ballos is so strong that they share the same life force? When Ballos is destroyed, so is the Doctor. I think it's the Doctor's words.

This is a slight bump, but I just thought I'd contribute.
What if the words are the doctor?
The demon crown is run off of Ballos's power, from what I can understand. And the Doctor stays alive using a weird mix of the red crystal, which I can only guess is controlled by the demon crown, and the demon crown. Even though he's killed, is it possible the demon crown kept him alive since Ballos was alive? And then, as Ballos was eventually killed, the Doctor's soul was destroyed?
I don't know, it sounds stupid but it's an idea.

I already said that...

 

I played A Lost Land too

 

...what?

 

...
Well, shit.
I dont know what knowledge to contribute to this bloody thread that I haven't already contributed.

 

I dunno. I'm just kinda pissed that Reddeh took my theory and got all the credit, when no one paid attention when I posted it.

Except I never read your theory.

 

Regardless, you still got all the applause.

 

Oh, Portal, it really doesn't matter. Exactly two people said "that theory is interesting", if you said it earlier just be content with that fact. I know from experience that you're gonna have a bad time if you do things just for glory, okay? Just put it out of your mind and move on. That's how the Internet works, I'm afraid, and bad things are going to happen if you demand cake and cheering.

 

(sigh) Yeah...

 

I see that my theory doesn't even get anything. I guess that conspiracy is not my calling.

 

Defeating the core either breaks or interrupts the power of the red flowers/crystal. My running theory is that the red flowers are tied to Ballos' magic (and magic-derived insanity) given that they can be controlled by the crown. I suspect that the Core represses Ballos' magic, and the red flowers are formed from a bleeding of said magic, like an overflow on a dam. When the core was destroyed then the magic probably returned to Ballos' control.
