Oi! So we’re makin’ audio logs now, eh? Fine by me! Great!

But I don’t know how this thing can record a word I’m sayin’ in this racket!

Ah, that fu— That crazy bastard won’t stop blasting his bloody gun in our direction! I can’t even hear myself think, shite!

Tsk… I suppose they’ll deal with the noise somehow in post. Here we go, I guess!

He’s got some bizarre smoke or fire or some shite burning from the head! Dressed in some soldier getup, too!

I've been listening to him blather on and on, and apparently he’s been in some kinda war or something!

I guess he’s goin’ for our heads, but that ain’t too unique of a thing, is it? Anyone going for the kill would go for the head anyways!

I do too, especially when I want to make sure they’re dead for good!

Doesn’t seem like the most complicated enemy, though! I can clearly see who that sod’s aiming for.

→ So, Heath, about famous last words… (Rodion)

→ Mm. Audio-to-text seems to be functional. Good work. (Faust)

→ Haah… yeah, whatever. I thought I knocked ‘em down when we clashed, so what the hell happened? (Heathcliff)

→ Observation: once targeted by the entity, its bullets will always strike the target regardless of the outcome of their clash. (Meursault)

→ Hoh? Then wherefore didst thou not simply evade the bullet?! (Don Quixote)

→ … You think I got shot in the face on purpose, lass?! (Heathcliff)

Speaking of which, I heard that the Abnormality’s bullet hit everyone around me, too when it killed me.

Buggy bloke tells me that he’s using something called a ‘shotgun’.

Apparently it makes up for its short range with a wider bullet spread that can hit more than one enemy at once, so… that must’ve been it.

Now that I think about it, this bastard went for the closest one to him first when choosing his target.

… Hm. It didn’t hurt much when he hit me from a distance.

We just gotta make sure that our heads are intact throughout the fight, yeah?

Wait, he just summoned some bughead outta nowhere. Where have I seen him before…?

Oh, no matter. I’ll focus on thrashing the bloke with the gun.

→ Yeah, so about second famous last words, Heath… (Rodion)

→ Huh. It’s summoning allies now… just to kill them? What? (Sinclair)

→ W-what the hell… He’s the old G Corp. Head Manager, isn’t he? What’s going on here? (Gregor)

→ This is the Refraction Railway. Therefore, he is most likely a reconstruction of a unit necessary for the Abnormality, taken from shards of the fathoms. (Faust)

→ … So he got dragged into another war, huh. Tsk. Even in death, he can’t… (Gregor)

Oi, did you all see that? How it acted after we told ‘em to check out his pendant?

He screamed, raged, then… kind of lost all steam.

It’s like all motivation drained right out of ‘em. Half-hearted shots, half-hearted defenses…

Dammit, why’d you even wear the pendant if you never wanted to remember them?

Well, that sure did make things simple for us, but… I don’t like this.

And before you say anything… I remember, Faust, Ms. smartarse. You’ve given me enough reminders.

He’s just an Abnormality, and Abnormalities’ stories aren’t worth lending my ear to.

Hah. It’s just… it’s not so easily said and done, you know?

I don’t think he knew when he said it. It’s not like he said it directly to my face, either.

All he said was that he still remembers the ones he loves.

… So… now that’s done and over with…

Remember how it blew my head to red paste early on?

It’s gotta mean that my memory’s just fine, right? Heh, and that’s… that’s not so bad, is it?

→ What? Uh… a-are you saying that you… liked the feeling of your head getting blown to bits? (Sinclair)

→ Huh? Yeah. If you wanna be technical about it, lad. (Heathcliff)

→ … But why? A fool you may be, but you are not one to revel in the Executive Manager’s suffering. (Outis)

→ What the hell are you prattling on about? Look, I ain’t saying that I like watching Clockhead suffer, it’s… (Heathcliff)

→ Young Heathcliff… ‘tis a foul habit to find joy in the suffering of others. (Don Quixote)

→ Agh! You’re all getting it wrong! Oi, manager! You know what I’m talking about here, don’t you?! (Heathcliff)

→ W-well, of course I do. But… (There was something written here, but it’s been hastily erased.) (Dante)

→ … Nevermind. Let’s talk about it later during the consultation. (Heathcliff)

Mirror Dungeon Event

Mirror Dungeon Event

---

'This is a warzone.'

'And my gun must blow someone up.'

The Abnormality spoke with clarity, loading its shotgun loudly.

'In this gory war, the devil approached me one day to suggest a deal.'

'It promised to give me a gun that can blow up anything, but the catch was that its last shell would land on the head of my beloved.'

'I accepted the gun and the ammunition with laughter.'

'My beloved, huh….'

'Did I ever have people I held that dearly? I couldn't be sure anymore.'

'I had to have joined this war for someone I loved, that much I remember.'

I noticed an old pendant worn on the shooter's neck.

'Thanks to that, I'm free to point the barrel at anyone I want. No matter where I fire it, this shotgun can blast anyone into fireworks like it hit them point blank, how wonderful is that?'

'I bet that fellow had their beloved.'

'Yup, I'm talking about the one whose head I just blew up.'

'They might have remembered what I don't. That makes this just too exhilarating.'

'Killing people who remember their loved ones, I mean.'

The shooter keeps firing its gun as it speaks.

The shotgun shoots out pellets as easily and lightly as the shooter laughs.

'By the way, whose side are you on?'

Tell the shooter to look at the pendant on its neck. Select to gain a Poise E.G.O Gift The shooter screamed upon opening the pendant. 'You... You made me remember my beloved. Do you know what that means to me?' Filled with rage, the shooter pointed its gun at me and pulled the trigger. However, the projectiles vanished in the air, and the shooter fell to the floor and started to cry. 'I... didn't want to remember the people I loved anymore...' Satisfied laughter could be heard somewhere. E.G.O Gift Pendant of Nostalgia obtained!

After watching it for a while, you snuck out of the place, taking medical supplies dropped on the ground. The sounds of bullets continued until you left. E.G.O Gift Torn Bandolier obtained! Check Failed 'Right, if you're gonna stay quiet...' 'Then it must mean you remember and will continue to remember.' 'Let me do you a favor.' 'The people you love will remember you as yet another victim that lost their head.' This is still a battlefield; The shooter loads its bullets with expertise. All Allies lost 20 SP!

Trivia

• This Abnormality's name translates directly from German to "the curse shooter".
• Despite the Mirror Dungeon event describing its gun as a "shotgun", it appears to be based on the Lee–Enfield bolt-action rifle.
  • This description is appropriate, however, as commercial gunsmiths in Australia and Britain had a few Lee-Enfield rifles converted into .410 gauge shotguns.
  • It can also be interpreted as the magic circles multiplying bullets that go through them, emulating the behavior of a shotgun, as seen in both Fell Bullet Heathcliff and Yi Sang.
  • However, with Fell Bullet Yi Sang, the gun behaves more akin to a normal sniper rifle, fitting the Lee-Enfield's more typical use.
  • For the N Corp. E.G.O Gear variant, the firearm more closely resembles a heavily modified Arisaka Type 99 rifle, with an extended magazine and what appears to be a laser sight attachment.
• Its Abnormality environment appears to be based on the setting for The Smoke War.
  • Additionally, during its combat encounter, it summons Old G Corp. Soldiers.
