perilisk.1874 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Wasn't entirely sure, after playing through the episode -- is it due to some special ability Kraalkatorik gained after consuming Balthazar's magic? Or is it just due to the amount of power Kraalkatorik now has? Or is Kraalkatorik just taking advantage of the increasing destabilization of magic in Tyria?

Randulf.7614 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 And how did the rift Kralk presumably used to open into the Mists not rip open reality given the sheer size it had to have been? I saw some potential answers to this in the lore discussion, but something didn't quite ring right about this bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narwhalsbend.7059 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Entrances to the Mists were not so easily come upon back in the day. But now even asurans can just set up a gate to the Mists no problem. Seems kind of cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The safest bet is to assume that its because of balthazar that kralkatoric can do this. The gods are known mist travelers and we've even seen balthazar opening rift portals.

ArenaNet Staff Connor Fallon.9408 Posted September 25, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 25, 2018 Based on everything we've seen, this seems like pretty reasonable hypothesis =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gods are known mist travelers and we've even seen balthazar opening rift portals." The problem with this hypothesis is that Kralky didn't consume any God-power. He only consumed power Balthy had snatched from the Bloodstone and Primordus /Jormag, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, after all, open the portal that Rytlock took back to Tyria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, that's how it sounded from Rytlock's tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
