We’re gonna be finding this stuff for years, aren’t we?

    You also included one of the methods of triggering a voice line in the title itself. Double spoilers that could have been avoided if you ended the title before the colon.

      Lol. Lmao even.

      The sequence of steps you need to see this stuff is absolutely bonkers. Like, 99% of players will never see this one voice line naturally.

      Unless “doing things in the game triggers voice lines” is somehow a spoiler now? Spoiler: when you beat this game, the credits roll showing who made the game!

      The title reveals nothing other than “hey there’s a sun ray that can nuke someone.” It doesn’t say anything about the nature of the ray, where it is, how to activate it, or anything. In fact, the thing mentioned in the title is such a niche thing in a niche location that most people will miss it, and can only be activated if you do this niche sidequest in a very specific way. You pretty much have to try to do it (assuming you even discover it in the first place - again, it’s easily missable).

      On top of that, this is something you can trigger within the first half-hour of the game if you tried. It’s firmly in Act 1. It has nothing to do with the story, it’s just a place you can find early on.

      Should I mention that this same act of the game has a wizard’s tower in it? Oh, no! Spoilers! A fantasy DnD game has a wizard tower! Hopefully there are no voice lines in there!

        I saw on Twitter the steps you have to go through to make it happen, and to see it naturally, you’ve basically got to playing like a complete chaos agent and have the RNG luck to have Asterion be one of your party members killed by it when it goes off.

        It doesn’t say the sun’s ray can nuke someone, it says that using a sun ray in Astarian results in a voice line. Which is probably going to be snarky based on his character and the fact that you meet him during the day and have an early conversation with him about sunlight.

        The number of creatures that are affected by the spell and look like a regular humanoid in D&D is pretty low, so the first spoiler is what Astarian is and the second is that a voice line is prompted by the interaction.

        You might be too thick to understand what a spoiler is since you think when something happens in the storyline impacts whether it is a spoiler, but just accept the fact that it is and some people don’t like having it in post titles they cannot avoid.

          So in order to know this is a spoiler, you must have met him and played the game?

          Friendly reminder that the described moment is pretty close to the beginning of the game. Like, around the time you have that conversation about sunlight, you can get this voice line.

          Who’s the thick one here?

          Because, “spoilers” I guess, Asterion is the only one who says something there if it kills him. According to the posts I saw from the person who made the video on Twitter, other characters will die if it hits them, but none of them have dialogue.

          so the first spoiler is what Astarian is

          Someone pointed out that you can find that out before the the game even starts if you watch his origin video in the character creator.

          a voice line is prompted by the interaction

          You have got to be kidding.

          It’s really not. You almost need a guide to tell you how to trigger that one conversation. It is extremely missable. Heck, I did the quest where this can happen yesterday and I didn’t even find the giant eff you cannon that can trigger it.
