Godslayer Hideout 2.0 (AKA Fort Edgelord)

Scrapped the original Cemetery version, annnd started over because I had points to use. Main allure of the Corrupted hideout? Imagining evicting Atziri from it.

"qUeEn Of OnE aNd AlL"

"Stop. Stop right there. We both know how this is going to go. I wait for you to stop belly dancing behind your forcefield then tear through you like a wet tissue-- and frankly I'm sick of hoarding flasks. Now get your tits the FUCK out of here before I have my minions cut you into 4 equally sized pieces and use them to FERTILIZE the gardens at Atzoatl!"

Anyways...

Here we have the upper floor. Popped 2 of the portals to make the blood pool around the map device stick out more. Directly above we've got Jun's little office/torture area.

And here we have Cassia/Kirac's little sanctified hangout (I imagine she'd insist on hauling in at least 3 tons of Innocence themed marble before she'd deign to set foot inside). Kirac doesn't get much mention 'cause he's not particularly interesting (his dialogue is, but there isn't much to him beyond his brother).

And just a ways down we have Alva's swag pile-- and also Zana. As far as the summoning circle goes, it's just a color matching thing. Fits with the rose petal effect.

To the left is Navali's little haunt, immediately adjacent to storage/crafting.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693279487/82279AE714C80F9669F893C3102B1B77246C4549/

Behind storage is my own main swag pile, along with a Goddess statue. Why? Because as much as everyone hates running the Labyrinth those ascendancy points are cherry. The guy in front of the Vaal vessel is Francis. He's got issues, try to be nice.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693279571/9CDAF10E97CA1DEA18AFE4D69967360F8F6A6EF6/

To the right of which is Helena's office. She was supposedly a Vaal scholar, so I imagine being set up with a literal Vaal library inside Atziri's actual throne room would be her idea of heaven.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693279675/E875B9A2C6BA83E6D071D6D59F0A789C83EC2914/

Which brings us to the ground floor.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693279773/D88CE11547000793AEA626E1D7E55B5034A1B3CB/

Closeup of the "living room" area. And yes, that man is fishing for trout in a lake of human blood-- and yes he's apparently found success doing so as evidenced by the half eaten fish sitting by his wife. And also Niko's there, because he had to be somewhere per my own arbitrary rules.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693279859/14765195551CB81D5123B7012A6FEC5873C7D29C/

And here we have Leo, Elreon & Vorici.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693279936/A7C19B460D7AFCC19F82271797497E9BD4F3C850/

Along with Haku (Vagan is just off screen to his right) next to this unrelated Syndicate merch. Also there's a set of old fashioned gallows (because every now and then you wanna mess around with the classic methods of execution), a Darksouls Bonfire (because I miss those games), Kaom's throne (because I could), annnd a dead seagull (because I hate birds).


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280019/EC2AE3A94E2CB3A5ACB4E6D8B401A21CF804F158/

And these are my literal golden girls on either side of my gold throne. Redundant given that Kaom's throne is like 15 feet away? Absolutely. But I figure around the point where you've personally slaughtered several dozen kings and an entire pantheon of gods, thrones would be the sort of thing you'd start collecting.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280107/D85E86AA87B970BDF4B28BF390F387222EAC8449/

This shot's just to get a better look at those Kitava horns and the Prisoner's Monument in the center of the room. There's a good reason for the former, and the latter was just the statue that best filled out the center of the room. Incidentally I tried my best to imply that the entire floor is literally stuffed to bursting with treasure.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280203/6271D3A052FAC437E730D340CC5FB36E9B815533/

This here is Tane's lab area, because that creepy bastard would absolutely be into experimenting on living subjects given half a chance.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280283/F9AABF047C621D8F85525426D7352991B7FB9220/

And this is the entrance to the basement area. Notice how for a corruption themed hideout there hasn't been all that much corrupt stuff in it? Well this is the beginnings of precisely that kind of stuff. I figure creepy Beast-esque/Nightmare themed corruption giblets would get extra nasty when interacting with Tane's Darkness, hence the giant pile of bubbling snot growing out of the basement.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280376/11D5FE9026F91D8395FDC60BA097038BD39E1D28/

And this is what's waiting at the bottom of the stairs. The big tick by the doorway's named Lenny.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280477/867D1A3F763F05F08711F531AB7C5743CA7AF779/

And this here's the source of all that ick factor. I'd explain what it is but there's literally no info on that subject. Baby Beast? For my purposes it's just symbolic of the fact that my Godslayer just like everyone else's definitely spread an assload of corruption throughout Wraeclast and beyond with all those Vaal orbs.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280573/11D1114EF70A416A12E3B10004D64AF0885E1FDE/

This was me trying to imply that the Seed of Corruption up there tried to "scab off" another portion of the basement with spiky bits.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280667/A02456D62C81B3A254C5A986280B2EB60D32D10D/

And in the corner between the two main sections of the basement is Einhar, because since Kirac let slip that Einhar hangs out in the Atlas fighting the Conquerors (including Sirus) for fun I've come to realize the goofy dreadlocked mask-wearer is a lot more badass than he gets credit for-- and wouldn't be the least bit bothered by hanging out in a gore pit with a mass of ever-growing sapient flesh. If anything he'd probably just enjoy feeding his kills to it.

"We will be best friends Beast!"


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280756/C9CF05C12660C1AE88E96F9A3E8EC7CAE4B99D2E/

And there's what's on the other side of that little impromptu dividing wall. Kitava's head & heart, in between which (in what seems to be agonizing pain) are two shackled Karui slaves-- former devotees of Kitava specifically.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280838/C5CE4D3F77600C8C284F366C35B49ADC5A245B39/

Obligatory Rapture Device, and in the bottom right corner is the best way to visually depict just how many corpses move through this place that I could come up with.

(If the most powerful entity in the cosmos was a borderline omnicidal Necromancer, they'd use up lots of bodies already. Then account for the angry flesh blob in the basement. Yeah.)


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280922/744EF88492BAAAF2D5EC6835525310624E119935/

Catarina's fun corner! And also: the third throne in my collection. And also, also: some petrified primordials. Why? Because the fact that the Syndicate relies on an ancient magic undead themed doohickey to cheat death, and the Abyss is run by Liches. Feels like there's a correlation there. Also if you paid attention, yes, Tora was the only master that I didn't move into my hideout. She knows why.


https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1765944364693280984/0AC40A8F71376CD051EE76BF69CFE4A9934EC5EA/

And here we have Wraeclast's answer to Damien from The Omen. Also how sweet would a literal ribcage archway be?


As a general note: I did my best to imply the shit in the basement is "growing up" into the main floor-- hence the Kitava horns busting outta the floor and the fact that Catarina's cronies are hanging out directly above her 1 floor up.

At any rate, there it is. The newest iteration.

Redone in a different hideout. Same basic themes/motifs as before, just more polished and a bit more spread out.

Oh, and uh: suggestions/feedback welcomed. Dicking about with my hideout is basically the only aspect of this game that hasn't been ruined by power creep so by all means, give me suggestions to play grimdark Sims.
