Lingering Echoes Story Summary [Arknights] 

Damn, glad you're back. I think something happens to you since you didn't upload video

It's good 👍

I live in Brazil, and find this comment very relatable.

MW2 Favela flashbacks

It's sad.

In end get *cure* for himself

And other homies, who wanted to take hot mommy Gertrude home =(

i knew what would happen as soon as i knew he wasnt playable 😔

I was one of them who hoped ;-; i alr loved him the moment i saw him for the first time, no simping he’s rlly cute

@Noname Noname and mommy Ursula 😩😩

the banner and the event shop spoiled what could have happened, lol

Still so undeniably upset that I called it. I knew that mother fucker was way too soft natured and had that “wise best friend” personality to have any survivable odds against the plot

The saddes part is that there, in fact, was a chance. And only that chance would have given Ebenholz happy ending as well. Just like when they were children subjected to inhumane experiments, and only two of them left alive so they both knew whoever goes next would be sent to torture and most certain death. Ebenholz almost volunteered to be the next lab rat to save Kreide, but Kreide had saved him by volunteering first. During the concert, they were in the same situation. Eben decided to take Kreide's Witch King's Voice when things were getting out of control, but Kreide had planned to do the same for Eben long before the concert had begun, he didn't hesitate, just like he didn't hesitate when he was a kid. I think the saddest part about Kreide's death is the fact that Kreide's altruistic sacrifice pretty much egoistically denyed Eben the chance to do the only meaningful and brave thing in his life. If Eben managed to save Kreide, Kreide would have been traumatized, but Kreide saved Eben, again, and he isn't traumatized or saved, he's destroyed. "Maybe it's because it's the first time I've ever felt life was worth living", - Ebenholz literal thoughts about the time he was with Kreide. His life before was utter sh*t, and now after he couldn't save Kreide again, his life is a pure nightmare. Yet he can't allow himself to drown in self-hatred, he can't throw away a life saved by the only person he cared about in the world, because doing so would be the third betrayal. There is no therapy or treatment to heal his inability to forgive himself. That's why he was glad to get Oriphaty from Kreide's body, as a desired and deserved punishment that will let Kreide to take the live he owns him back sooner. That's why he keeps avoiding Hibiscus because she knows the truth, that's why he doesn't allow Rhodes Island to take care of his hadaches. He thinks he deserve every bit of it. What happened is the worst possible ending for both of them, absolutely hate (love) it, especially the epilogue part in Eben's operator records. The most beautiful tragedy i have ever read, will never get over it. It's been almost a year, but i just bought a new skin for brother Eben and got triggered again, lol UPD: Come to think of it, the only thing that could possibly ease Eben's pain a bit is revenge against (Voldemort) Witch King. Redirecting some hatred towards the bastard who made their life a nightmare. I hope he'll get that. Not that it would actually help, but just a bit is better than nothing at all, isn't it.

Ebenholz wasn't infected though. He only became infected when he carried Kriede's body into the concert hall after beating him.

The witch king didnt invade the concert though… the point of the concert was to draw out the witch king (at first from eben and kriede to czerny) but because of gertrude’s meddling it becomes too much for them to take, leading to kriede sacrificing himself to take the brunt of the witch king’s melody

Ebenholz' suffering is mostly emotional. Eyja's suffering is mostly physical. We can't compare them. ...But yeah, come on HG, stop bullying the goats :(((

You could say they're scapegoats

His friend also happened to be his brother, so even more sadge.

Couscous like the african dish 💀

Couscous is delicious

Ishar mla vs witch king. Battle of taking over couscous.

Thank you for that I wondered what's gonna keep my awake tonight

Ngl, I see this as the Witch King reverting to his pre-Witch King personality. The guy who cared for his people. Also, I can see this as Kriede's personality fusing itself with the Witch King itself hence why its more calm and collected. Not gonna lie, I began tearing up while typing this.

For what it's worth, his archive story does show a bit of that after his first field mission. I'm pretty sure Doctor and the others in RI can help him find happiness and solace, slowly but surely.

Ebenholz's potential token is extra depressing in context of this event.

I hope he'll do, hopefull he'd find new purpose in his new life! Speaking of purpose, I wonder If we'll get to see him again in possibly another Lethainia event involving the caprinae woman _(forgot her name, but you know who)_

That kind of implies that, if the situations are real parallels, the state of being the Witch King achieved is similar to or equal to DBS & co, something an otherwise ordinary person can achieve through Arts. Maybe means DBS did too, maybe not.

HG can't stop using the same plot

and their white-haired love interests both suffer horrific, tragic deaths

well there is always surprise, I mean the abyssal hunter did manage to defeat a sea born god(ishar mla), far more powerful than some witch king that can create who knows how big the tsunami to all terra and begin the great silence and that god can be awakened

@@mikaelahyakuya4146 don't go down that hole. powerscaling is bs in AK bcs no one made contact with anyone, it's way less than a glorified opinion

@@hermanwillem7057 Some have made contact and fight that how we got Patriot as being called the strongest soldier of Terra, and it is confirmed that he fought and won against: Victoria steam soldier, against Silverlance of Kazimierz, Apostolic Knights of laterano, and the Eldritch Demon that are Attacking Yan. But yeah most of the godlike entities of Ak(witch king, Ishar mla, The true sui,etc) that have power that literally break the power scaling are pretty much chilling on their own, thet don't really pick fight directly with others of similar power so putting them on a scale is impossible. Honestly it feel like that they tried to have a power scale then added godslike being and said to hell with the scale.

@@franxx941 but powerscaler still tries to add them there even without any proof just assuming. some still say AH can beat Patriot by themselves, or Patriot is the strongest human to ever live in Terra when he just live for 200+ yrs in it, he never even mee the Khesigs either. thus why i regard most of it as legends, delightful, amusing and full of mystery but not a true base.

@@mikaelahyakuya4146 it's because ishar-mla let himself get killed so he can possess skadi

It would be interesting if there were Arknights: What If

What about Kreide??

@@HappyLovesNymph Kriede literally cant exist without hurting everyone around him so it would probably be unlikely. Having half witch king kriede operator would be cool though aoe specialist and sniper abilities along with a talent that gives him either insane def or prevents him from falling past 1 hp for a while

She's a criminal wanted in Laterano I doubt it

@@nbsprivet9138 Well, many operators are criminals somewhere, it never stopped Doctor from recruiting them =)

@@nbsprivet9138 criminals? Even better

@@nbsprivet9138 Bruh Haze is a literal escaped prisoner for petty crime, hell theres even Mountain

@@ZeroConZx True but you are forgetting that Executor will arrest her on site :/

my man recognized the Wings of Liberty opening line 🤝

Should have stabbed her from the front damnit Biegler

This game is visual novel, but they add some gacha and tower deffense so player not too boring playing it.

IT IS tho, i wonder why ppl still think it's not and should not after 3 damn yrs

That's extremely specific but also insanly accurate

Well, it will become longer for the real content so... Arknight novel at its finest

@@grildrago Nearl Light was already long but we are ascending further beyond

What is ligma?

​@@al4vv82ligma bol and cats lol

Whos Kreide

@@drabyssal balls

Who is Kreide and why did he died of Sugma

what ?? u cant read the more u grow up? or u just lazy?

@@kaycex1 This person *literally* can no longer read anymore! Nah, it's more of a case of reading being time-consuming rather than being difficult. Clearing event stages can take quite a bit of time, and reading takes even more time. Growing up usually results in taking more responsibilities in life, and those responsibilities may take more time and effort than before. Some people may still have the free time to do that, but others do not.

The concert hall itself is an arts amplifier, I believe they needed that greater power to actually be able to execute on the plan in full. It's mentioned that the building itself is like this, and then Gertrude went and made it even more powerful for her own plans. Czerny wasn't aware of all of Gertrude's modifications, so he didn't know it would get as big and dangerous as it did, like putting the audience in danger. He just wanted to use it how he thought it was, without Gertrude's tampering, and unfortunately he was wrong and misjudged the extent of what she had done. From what I understand, anyway.

@@SerenDark Pretty much. By the time he realized the extent of her plan, it was too late. They already start the performance and stopping at that point means everyone would die and she would win.

In real life though, don't think you can do what Czerny did unless you have godly persuasion to persuade the ones who instigated the concert and believe your companions can perform the new song on the fly (which is already a risky move).

I noticed too, but there are some differences. For example, Degen doesn't have black/dark hair.

Don't let him fail art school

HG definitely love Middle Earth and Silmarillion. Morgoth and Illuvatar creates with a song after all

Given that Kreide's Oripathy condition was very terminal, you could infer that the Witch King's newly formed vessel was slowly dying because of it so he couldn't stay that way for long

@@granmastersword While that's an interesting theory, if you look close enough at the sprite, you can actually see boss Kreide kinda "cut himself" with the bow of the cello, thus depleting his HP. Also Kreide taking over for a bit doesn't seem all that farfetched, when a section of the boss fight consists of him helping us kill some of the enemies tbh. Though the whole Oripathy thing is still possible, not ruling it out, it could've of course contributed.

My interpretation is that kreide just wanted the entire town to witness his last performance (based on in-game dialogue) since he's gonna die anyway, but under the voice of terra influence those performance will definitely be disastrous so eben needs to stop kreide. This reflected on the boss behavior inside the stages where we can just let the boss circling the stage reducing it's own hp while we deals the finishing blow to phase 1 and 3, and the "stun when blocked" trait strengthen the fact that the boss just wanted to be left alone

Ah yes... the failed artist

Shhhh. This isn't genshin.

I have no mouth, and I must scream

Ah, yes. We too makes Zhongli to take exercise so that he have a body build befitting to a god.

Witch King Decarabian.....
