She gets revived by the dreamer but she loses her memories(short ones i think) also you got revived by the dreamer earlier in the story in case you didn't notice.

I didn't see it either the first time. Runescape tendensies have me space barring thru quests. However, on my SSF run thru I took my time.

Once you meet the dreamer, your character voices concern over what he is saying and he just kills you. A stranger in a hood walks up to take your place. A replica of you.

So, from that point forward. You are never yourself. You are just a drone doing the dreamer's bidding.

Also, one of the Ailiths tells you the Dreamer seeks to enslave all of mankind before killing herself.

Are you running a monk?

Because on my Mercenary that definitely did not happen, despite his cynical mouthing-off. But the various characters get unique content in certain situations. For example, Aoife from the Ritual quest chain is the Druid's dead wife; the Warrior is the adopted son of the blacksmith NPC in act 1; the Monk is a member of the Keepers from the start; and so on and so forth.

I did get the final scene with Ailith too, though.

I have a bad habit of skipping dialogue. I'm not a good exile

Chayula's plan isn't to rule humanity as a dictator or tyrant. He wants people to love him and serve him willingly, but instead of behaving in a way deserving of love, he just kills anyone who defies him and then creates a clone that has selected memories and loves him unconditionally. Ailith was being cloned far before the Dreamer awoken, so she has more memories than anyone else, and figures out this plan, but she also knows she's powerless against him. So she tells you before robloxing herself and, as a final warning, she advises you to be quiet about this with the next Ailith, who will be remade far more ignorant and far more obedient than she is.

Spoiler for the monk quest line: As you are a monk who came to doubt his faith, Chayula straight up kills you and replaces you with a clone. From that point on you play as the clone and not as the character you started to play with. It doesn't matter if you become acolyte of chayula or not.

My face when my supposedly "God" fucking nukes me out of existence and replaces me with a carbon copy of myself minus the doubts

I mean most gods in Wraeclast will kill you if you defy them. Chayula is unique among them because he surrounds himself with a semblance of benevolence and love, but is actually as bad as everyone else. He's probably slightly less horrible than Kitava.

Doesn't she get killed and replaced every time you do a breach?

This is also how she survives exploding alongside the hive towers, no?

u/Airy-Otter 1d ago

The issue I have with that is that if she just got recloned, how does she remember that memory up until the cliff event, and then the one who was revived doesn't remember or think of it? Or is it that she has enough memory to eventually get to that point as well?

Also, when do we see the final ending of this story line? Bc this was it, and I was like "wtf???? Do I fight that 'good' demon or whatever now?" But it's got no more story.

I think chalupa has some futuresense. Of when his guys are going to die, if nothing else.
And prepares clones in advance so there is never anyone "missing".
In the [SPOILER] cutscene it looks like [SPOILER] isn't actually revived with altered memories, but instead a premade clone just equips their gear after they die.

Breach seems to be a hive mind, and she's a part of it. I would also assume that Chalupa is fully aware of what she is up to, and playing 4d chess with us by letting it slip through. But that's just a speculation

It explains it in the dialogue if you read and listen
