@@tipadaknife to my understanding, the figure in the mirrors/glass was representing one of the circle of 12. the ingame text refered to him as lakimir. lakimir is mentioned in the very beginning of the original NES (and also macintosh) game. they essentially sent you to the entrance of shadowgate where your adventure also begins. since the raven reacted very negatively to you killing the person (i am so bad with names. sorry) i would assume it was all caused by that unseen new force that was literally never seen or heard from before. the best i got about that is that "strike" the character hears in his mind. i would also guess that this person is the other druid that accompanied you with the raven, but i actually checked the glass/mirror images and it stated that it's a figure you don't recognize (before casting the spell and the ending route unfolding). so, as soon as you cast the spell you are essentially starting to be overtaken. which could also mean that the unseen force is also evil despite wanting to kill the warlock lord. also noteworthy how you actually pick up a skull-like item and combine it with the moon stone. your character essentially gets overtaken by a force, seemingly even stronger than the warlock-lord himself. worst of all is that it's most likely just an honest mistake because you, as the character didn't know what they were doing. it's been a while i played the original game, so please take that with a grain of salt :) also sorry if this is a mess to read. i suck really bad with on-the-spot theory and scripting that in a cohesive manner. thank you for reading.
@@N3Selina Lakmir I knew about. I meant the purple phantom in the mansion that, by not being permanently put to rest, goes on to possess you and bring about Ending D.
@@tipadaknife oh wait!! that's the phantom of the mansion? i did not even realize that! that might very well be yeah! since you get the moon stone ONLY if the red imp(?) dies! but no, the phantom, to my knowledge is new!
Congratulations on getting ending d, now that you have covered all of the endings, can you tell me how you would rank them from worst to best like well for del thornburrow to get and how it affects the world? Also if you encounter the dragon on the turret before freeing it, or on the mountain nest on the top of the mountain, if you attack the dragon will it kill you?
I was glad that this madamlike-faced phantom was vanished and the imp was saved in Chapter 6.
Because I HATE TO BE A PUPPET FOR HER.

Gets chin tickled to death GOOTCHY GOOTCHY GOO-ew!
Lol
thank you for nudging me in the right direction. i had a file where i was already able to get the moonstone so this was super helpful
Glad you could get it! I have a question about just who that spirit was. I feel if I'd played the original game, I might know.

@@N3Selina Hmmmmm WHO IS SHE THEN? 🙂
The only thing bothers me about this is who actually the purple phantom was. Is it(?) saying something about 'How a Royal Sorcerer inflicts pain'...?
@@CB-L how is it so powerful, powerful enough to drain the energy from everyone? Kinda comes out of nowhere.
Wait, where can I find the scythe?

Wait, how do I get the censer?
If you're on the Ending D path, you can find it in the curio shop. It won't be there in any of the other paths.
@tipadaknife thank you, how do I get on that path?
@@briandaniels2408 Just don't put salt on the grave at The Manor.
@nickvanderpool4822 thank you! So funny, I did this on my first playthrough, stopped and restarted because i thought I was stuck, lol.
the art and music are both equally not good
Meh. Obviously it's meant for fans of the NES aesthetic; it's not for everyone. But I had fun with it 🙂
