That’s interesting, would like to know what you think of “God”, it really doesn’t have a name. I really enjoyed the game, there is always good gems among indies, though it was pretty challenging to complete everything!
@@BlackTorito Thank you! The "Higher Power", as I've come to call it, is... really interesting. As the Neutrals put it in their monuments, this... entity is clearly seeking out something that its own mind cannot comprehend. A sort of... theological paradox: an omniscient being not knowing something! I'd assume it's seeking out what's going on with our protagonists - working together as one without fusing into the Green beings (all of which outside of Summun are... unstable, flickering between Light and Dark, clearly imperfect). Creations becoming greater than the sum of their parts - which is tested in the end when you confront them/it. ... It's a really good job depicting the incomprehensiblity of a Higher Being.

And the way it slowly robs you of your powers by shattering the world, erasing your history with it. It's perfect, it's powerful, it's beyond the visual language of your world, and everything about it, down to even it's unique UI elements, is... unknowable. And of course, how it communicates in an unknown language. It clearly repeats itself, perhaps insisting on something, but I haven't dug deep enough to know if there's a translation. (Though I want to confront it again once I've finished everything else - maybe LUCA is a key of sorts? I also have yet to take down Summun, so I'm still assuming other endings may exist...) ... The Spears, too, make me wonder - if the first one shattered into LUCA, perhaps the field we see are all the other attempts: iterations upon iterations of reigniting this world, seeking out something. Perhaps everything else just decays into nothingness - Light and Dark mutually annihilating each other, like Matter and Antimatter. But now, finally, something different has happened. ... Of course, this is all one interpretation. I imagine the story is kept intentionally obscure to get our imaginations flowing! Similar to how most of the foes we encounter work - there's only an outline of parts, seldom flickering to reveal a solid whole. Even so, one of my favorite games to surprise me this year! ... Apologies for the rambling - I struggle with brevity, sometimes!
Following what librus8680 said, the soundtrack that plays for battling LUCA is called "The First Iteration" so Luca is probably the first form of life that was created by the God/Creator of this Existence and the progenitor of the Blue, Orange, and Green creatures that came after. It could also be why it makes star patterns around itself that resemble Circles and Squares. It's also worth noting the stone monuments can only be activated when we have both Edda and Aven to "chant" to it.
Actually, if you pay attention on the drawings and words of the tablets, it seems LUCA was there before "God" and it created those skeletal beings we see all around At some point, "God" or "Gods" appeared and imprisoned LUCA and started doing their own thing
@@SPYROSTSABOURISyea, when we encounter LUCA, it’s stabbed through with a spear of Creation/Destruction, in a realm very similar to where we encounter God, or whatever higher being that final boss is
That won't make since because LUCA is not the first, the first is FUCA LUCA is the Last Universal Common Ancestor FUCA is the First Universal Common Ancestor
this is so confusing... what is the other thing that looks like luca? the "end boss" where the map gets destroyed? sometime it chooses blue character, sometimes Red.... ending stays the same
@@aceofspace5940 Thanks for the info. Side note I beat the blue lightning guy forever ago and now I'm shown that there's AN UPGRADE THAT LETS YOU ABSORB LIGHTNING DAMAGE!
A comment in the video gave the answer: The fragments spin in a fixed rotation, forming patterns, and such patterns matches both characters. What you have to do is hitting the shield with the corresponding character according to the patterns to break it (otherwise you're 1 sec stunned as you can see sometimes in the video)

One thing i have noticed is the orbs orbiting LUCA. I think how they orbit shows which character can break it.
Thanks for sharing!

Ooooooh, I was wondering what it meant. Weird that I never remembered.

FUCA is the First Universal Common Ancestor
Im not gonna lie I feel kind of bad for killing it because of how pathetically easy the fight was. Still, thank you for the guide!
I just beat the ultimate trial. It took me 7 or 6 hours.
Congrats! Its a great feat
Well this is an interesting boss battle
Also do you know if there is some reward for refighting enemies?? Like achievements or something better hopefully lol ??
There is the ultimate trial for refighting all of them AT ONCE. So… yeah, currently I’ll test if you can absorb God but I think you can’t
this is so confusing... what is the other thing that looks like luca? the "end boss" where the map gets destroyed?
sometime it chooses blue character, sometimes Red.... ending stays the same
It’s god, you can’t beat him
@@BlackTorito well. then i dont get the story. are blue and red becoming god in the end?
@@sion7651 no, they destroy the world, I think you should think it is like the universe, kinda like the Big Bang.
It's intresting how this boss was named after the first cell.
Does anyone know what the, im just gonna call it an axe, attach that Blue (i dont know their names) uses ar 2:18
Yep, it’s an axe. You don’t have it at the start of the game. It’s an upgrade you find around the map
@@aceofspace5940 *eyes start glowing* I'll get to looking for it
@@aceofspace5940 Thanks for the info.
Side note I beat the blue lightning guy forever ago and now I'm shown that there's AN UPGRADE THAT LETS YOU ABSORB LIGHTNING DAMAGE!
@@armoredbluejay9364 YEAH IKKKKK ITS SO NICE although it wears off kinda quick. I assume you got the axe, then? Nice!!
I'm still confused on how I'm supposed to fight him
How to get to him or how to fight him
@@BlackTorito Fighting
@@anthonyackerman7914 I honestly just tried things until the shield breaked 😂 not sure if the same will work with you as in the video

@@dark_wolf260 Also, you need a specific spell or attack from each character as well to avoid the stun, even if you're using the right character.
So is it just this and the last boss after the demon ?? I think I took out everything else.
There is more 😂 also the path of determination is hard
@@BlackToritolol
@@BlackTorito and after path of determination, luca, all green, all blue, all red game is over?
@@DraconicLee the final challenge also
@@BlackTorito whats that? Is it the one where u have to face all enemies at once? I havent done that yet ig
How do you unlock this rfight?
@@prons_gaming5083 there is a video link at the top right corner of the video at the start
@BlackTorito Thank you, but I figured it out just after I made the comment. I didn't realize I had missed a single stone monument. Great video!
No way guys its me LUCA
