For reference, keep in mind that that chant is meant to drive demons out

Which means that, if successful, that thing is gonna be forcibly evicted from the chapel

Wait. Please clarify.

You want to use these Wards of eviction on the chapel, not around it?

Because using magical wards of eviction that apparently cause these eldritch abomination pain on the holy place of the most powerful and dangerous eldritch abomination in Bloodborne's lore sounds like it could make this situation much worse than it already is.

He means the Exorcism chant, pulled from The Exorcist. To be fair, it is a prescribed chant to be used in exorcisms.

To be equally fair, the most powerful exorcism ritual is not a chant, but the sacrament of Baptism itself.

Of course, some in this thread doubt the power of the Lord or that His Will is Absolute. They fear that this Amygdala may be powerful enough to deny the Will of the Lord or defeat His servant. But I have faith in Him and I know that Anderson's faith is even stronger than mine.

We will cast out the demon. We will destroy the unholy. We will protect His flock, for we are His shepherds on Earth.

So, how much do the church watchmen know about what they are worshiping? Would they only see Anderson slashing at empty air like a madman, or would they and the giants rush us too for daring to attack their god?
 
Oh man, I was wondering if the barrier would do something to Amygdala. And it did! Now the only question is whether or not the Almighty can smite a lesser cosmic horror through the man-shaped instrument of his divine will. Kind of interesting that He has power in Yharnam. Maybe God has nightmares. Maybe when he does, it's Alexander Anderson that gets to kill them dead.

Well, let's go about proving Alucard right about men killing monsters, shall we?

It's a shame we have to solo this beastie. It's not much for chit-chat, and Anderson can't really do banter by himself.

OR CAN HE?

Anderson's wee hand puppet:
"We're ginnae need ae bigger blade!."

Anderson:
"Nae worries!"

Well, here comes the fireworks, methinks?

[x] step one: take out a GIANT bible
-[x] step two: introduce the spider demon monster thingy to the WORD OF GOD
-[x] step three: say something witty like "Bad spider"

Gaining a bunch of insight very fast is supposed to have side effects, right? Is Anderson going to get brain eyeballs or whatever for looking at this thing too long?

Nah, it happens just by gaining Insight.

Shouldn't Anderson's insight already be high enough for him to see the Lesser Amygdalas around Yharnam? If you consider the fact that Iscariot (canonically) was the church's premiere supernatural fighting force, not just anti-vampire, he should have seen enough strange and terrifying creatures on Earth that his Insight should be above 40.

And let's not get started on Alucard. I think just by seeing his Level Zero release one of two things happens - (1) Your Frenzy goes through the roof before you could blink (which explains why both Millennium and the Crusaders immediately started panicking in fear) or (2) you gain something like 60 insight. So Anderson should already see all the crazy bulls**t around Yharnam.
 
In game terms, Anderson has over 20 Insight at the moment (bosses + Alucard + ???), but Amygdala and the Great Ones are a unique case. Shit like landsharks, Mongolian Death Worms, and chupacabras (now extinct. You're welcome.) inhabit the same plane of existence as Anderson. They're not eldritch in the Lovecraftian sense, just weird.

And I mean, have you ever tried just explaining how a fourth-dimensional object projects onto the 3-D plane? Explain the hypercube and watch their eyes go blank.

I keep seeing mentions of Anderson and hand puppets every now and then. Care to explain?

A while back we had a vote where one of the Options was "Give the Iscariot Speech".

Someone pointed out that this would be difficult without the other members of Iscariot to do the responses to Anderson.

The QM said this issue would be resolved by having Anderson make tiny hand puppets and ventriloquizing the responses.

This was obviously the Best Thing Ever, but it was decided that this particular vote was not the time and place. And so some of us have been waiting to work the Hand Puppets in ever since.

It's probably on Iscariot's required reading list. "It's not something we deal wit often, but it does happen occasionally. And when it does yer gonna be glad that you already know the basics. Not a situation for on the job trainin' as it were. Lovecraft was a damned heathen of the worst sort, and a bloody terrible writer, but he knew his shit when it came to eldritch abominations."

Dot really see why he was a heathen, all his stuff were just freaky ultra-old pre-human aliens knowledgeable in parts of science beyond he knowledge of late 19th century early 20th humanity. The only parts of his work that could be described as heretical by a late 20th century perspective were the Outer Gods Azathoth, Yogg-Saggoth and Nyarlathotep, the sentient and self-aware embodiments of Energy, Space-Time and Entropy respectively. Oh, and the fact that there was no loving God and that humans were alone in a cold, dark universe that didn't actually care if they lived or died. It was latter writers who tied in a Christianized mysticism that went completely against the themes in his work who are the ones responsible for any of the anti-god heresy most people think of sadly when they think of lovecraft these days.
