#hangedman and zeal can join him too

[surveillance-0011]

Are their any chances that curien cloned Chariot and Hangedman since you fight them twice in hotd (since well when you fight Chariot he was reduced to bone and Hangedman well idk about that) but what's your thoughts on that

I think that’s probably the case, backup bodies in case of an emergency. If not physical bodies, then genomes up on speed dial. We see the normal creatures practically mass produced as of 2, Judgment Heirophant and Tower also return, and Magcian gets clones in 4 Special’s bad ending, so I don’t think it’s far fetched.

The other option would be the bioreactor having an ultra-healing factor, but I think the cloning makes more sense?

I believe that many bosses have some sort of backup clone that’s basically an empty shell activated upon death, and that all of them have some genetic material stored away so they can be easily made again if they’re killed off and there’s no salvageable tissue or fluid to retrieve.

And it seems this is all done without any lapse in memory if Magician comes back easily enough. But you do have to wonder if it’s really the same person or just an empty shell given the same memories. I guess that case goes for cloning in general. I bet this isn’t lost on those who are sapient, though…

On a less speculative, fun note…It’s a shame there’s not much information elaborating on the process, at least anything to my knowledge that’s easy for fans to access. I miss all the old fun manuals and stuff :( I get why it’s not much of a thing now but for a game that’s added some decent amount of story I wish the devs knew we’d all be pretty invested…
