PSA!

Spoilers under the cut but GUYS. GUYS. Do NOT skip through the "Wait for Godo" quest! This is for your own good!

This quest is so creepy and for WHAT

This is a two second overworld quest! Run into a random NPC who asks you to go see about the missing guard literally one building over! Standard open world stuff! Easy peasy!

Oh, and also just go ahead and say hi to the random eldritch shadow being while you're at it. NO BIG DEAL??? (I missed capturing the first two text boxes where you casually notice a 'massive looming shadow' over the beach demanding your 'attention and submission' and this doesn't concern you at all. You get your memories back but you can't actually remember what you're remembering as you remember it. Just that of course you know these shadows. You remember how they'd dance at your command.)

(Like.)

(WHAT.)

And then you fight some super easy mobs and the quest just ends. There's no turn-in - the quest giver won't even talk to you. It's like it never happened in the first place.

Kuro, what the hell.

I love it.

(Also the implications of the 'I still have work to do' line. I picked '...I should wake up.' because I thought it was a better wham line if this were a book or movie or something but the implications of the second one are ruining me. That's a 'But I have miles to go before I sleep' kind of line line. That's the kind of thing you say to keep from going toward the bright light. WHAT was HAPPENING here.)

EDIT: THE QUEST NAME IS A WAITING FOR GODOT REFERENCE. WHO DID THIS.

#wuthering waves spoilers #wuthering waves #what was even going on in the writing room why are the sidequests sometimes just LIKE this?#it's a random little side quest it shouldn't be THIS good???#is it that the sidequests were tiny enough to escape the stockholder hatchet that presumably happened to the main quest? is that it?#okay stop reading the tags here #anyway when I said 'this is for your own good' up there I actually meant 'I would like to share the horrors' thank you #in hindsight the fact it's a dream/dreamlike state makes perfect sense #the whole request in the first place is straight up dream logic #you just don't think about it because...well random side quest - it doesn't have to be super logical #'the guard on duty literally right upstairs just straight up vanished but we're not SUPER concerned about it'#'you should go up there and wait for him though. just in case.'#Rover: Sure That Tracks #and the whole sudden sense of unease and increasing awareness that something is very wrong is SO well done #I'm actually not sure if the memories Rover was dream-remembering were actually theirs or if it was some kind of eldritch synergy #with the shadow being #who even knows though. this is the mindfuck zone now anything is possible.
