Rose Hunter

From Limbus Company Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Rose Hunter (F-01-16-10) is a HE-class Abnormality encountered in Canto VII. It was previously contained in the L Corp. Branch in P Corp. that was built on top of La Manchaland and later overtaken by the amusement park.

It can be encountered in the Mirror Dungeon through Abnormality events and battled as a potential boss. It is also fought on Station 2 of Line 5: Merry Go Round.

It is related to Snow White's Apple from Lobotomy Corporation, and is the source of the E.G.O Lasso.

Appearance

Rose Hunter appears to be a humanoid in green hunting attire and leafy cape held by a rose-shaped pin, most notably having a rose for its head. It is usually seen with a lasso of thorny vines, which it is capable of throwing with precision. It rides on a horse also composed of green thorny vines, with roses in the place for eyes.

Observation Logs

Log Writer: Hong Lu

Woah~ Looks like this Abnormality is a hunter with a rose growing on top of his head~

He arrived like the wind, riding a handsome steed with roses blooming from its eyes.

I was so surprised, because when we first met, he greeted me by throwing that lasso at me!

He kept tugging the lasso, which kept pulling me away from everyone… that was a bit troublesome.

It could've been pretty bad if Ryōshū hadn't chopped the lasso.

Good thing it could be cut, because I remember some unbreakable ropes from back home.

I was worried that this might've been the same, but looks like it's not too hard to break Mr. Hunter's ropes!

→ So… the Abnormality didn't hesitate to bind everyone, but… why did he keep whipping me and just me, I wonder? (Sinclair)

→ It appears to prefer ensnaring and whipping targets with psychological weaknesses. That must be why its whips focused that much on Sinclair. (Faust)

→ Ohh~ Well, Sinclair does have very delicate sensibilities, like a sugar sculpture. (Hong Lu)

→ Thanks for the… compliment… (Sinclair)

→ S.S.O.F.T.[1] (Ryōshū)
The more people he's got bound, the faster Mr. Hunter seems to get.

Shouldn't he get slower if he has that much to carry?

Maybe having so many people lasso'd up like this is making the horse excited.

Or, maybe he has to hurry somewhere with so many people tied to himself?

Hmm, then why might that be, I wonder?

Shouldn't homeward journeys be an opportunity to see more things, to experience as much as possible?

Going too fast with tunnel vision might cause you to miss so many things.

→ Well, can't help gettin' right impatient when goin' back, eh? (Heathcliff)

→ Agreed, for once. There is no need to dally on a return journey. The faster it is, the better it is. (Outis)

→ I meant to ask— So what got you so rearing to go back to that manor, Heathcliff? (Hong Lu)

→ Huh… that's a good question. Yeah, what was up with all the rush back then? Whoever sent the letter wasn't even there at the manor. (Ishmael)

→ Oi, you— (Something used to be scribbled here in violent anger, but it's gone now) (Heathcliff)

→ Let's stop bringing that up, guys. (Dante)
Mr. Hunter is probably a very Obsessive gentleman.

I couldn't avoid his lasso throws, no matter how much I tried.

He kept throwing more and more lassos, and every time he did… he grew increasingly accurate.

He even started throwing two lassos at the same time, without a single miss, too!

Ah, but he had a hard time avoiding our attacks because he was so focused on throwing his lassos.

That makes me wonder, though. Why didn't he just run off once he had all of us in snares?

Maybe he wasn't exactly looking to capture us?

Then, maybe his purpose was to wear us down as soon as possible so he could leave here.

And if that was his purpose… I wonder what he was trying to capture with that thorny lasso?

I'd like to ask him if we can meet again.

→ It is likely that this entity is in pursuit of the apple, considering the encounter in the Mirror Dungeon. (Meursault)

→ So he must've been desperately searching for something. I've know a few people like that back home, I understand~ (Hong Lu)

→ Oh… didn't your little sister say that… your family was looking for you? (Sinclair)

→ They must really miss me. Hehe, I'm glad. (Hong Lu)

Mirror Dungeon Event

Mirror Dungeon Event
MD Rose Hunter.png

This is a dark forest, full of fog and vine.

An apple, rotten but still moving, runs to me in a hurry.

"Please help me, I need to hide."

"I'm just a poor, tiny apple… Cursed and thrown away."

Before I could answer, the apple hid its small body behind my leg.

"……."

Amidst the fog of the viney forest, the clop of a horse is heard.

It's a giant horse made of vines.

Mounted on it was a being with the head of a rose.

The vine horse stands before me and lets out heavy breaths that reek of green grass.

"I am on the hunt for someone. It needs to be taken care of urgently."

"What I am looking for is an apple that will become a princess, not knowing its rightful place."

"It must have passed this way. Do you know what direction it has taken?"

"Ah..."

You moved your leg to the side and pointed below, to the trembling apple's dismay.

"Hah, got you."

"No! I don't want this!"

"Stories must follow their natural courses. This is the flow we shall follow, so accept it."

It picked up the tiny apple and put it on the back of the horse.

"This won't be needed anymore. It's not the most flattering gift, but I will give it to you as a reward for letting me know."

Just as you thought you'd tell the truth, you felt a tremor at your leg.

"...You were hiding it."

You try to deny it, but it was already angered.

"Get lost!"

It lashes at you viciously with a thorny snare...

And when you managed to dodge the onslaught, you found that the snare caught the rotten apple.

"This is the natural course. Accept it."

Having caught the apple, it ran off in the other direction.

"You do not know? I see. If that is the determined trajectory of this tale, then it must be followed."

"Yet... how would you explain that thing hiding behind your leg?"

The entity asks us with an air of hostility. It must've noticed the apple trembling behind my leg.

After a quick deliberation with the Sinners, I decided to try lying to the entity.

"... You say that it is a pomegranate, not an apple? Do you take me for a witless imbecile? "

"Enough talk. Make way, or suffer my wrath!"

The entity charges at us, the lasso swinging wildly above its head.

When I point to some random, incorrect direction, the entity approaches and looms over me.
In place of its head was but an eyeless rose, but... I could still feel its piercing gaze.

"Such tale is your wish? Then I hope you have it within you to be responsible for your own words."
"Should you come across the apple in your journey, I bid you to bind it with this lasso."

The entity tossed a lasso at us before gallopping off astride the great steed of vines.
Only when could we no longer hear the sound of galloping hooves did the apple slowly emerge from behind my leg, shuddering.

"C-can you please get rid of that lasso? Please... I'm scared."

The apple pleaded, but some Sinners disagreed.
The lasso may come in handy.
I denied the apple's request, wound the lasso on my arm, and continued onward.

The last sentence must've scared the apple—it flinches.
The entity noticed the hem of my pants shake slightly and erupts into a furious bellow, swinging the lasso.

"BEGONE!"

The apple tries to hurry away from the entity, but it's soon snared by the barbed lasso.
After fastening the apple to the vine horse's leg, the entity gallops into the forest.
The apple's desperate cries for help slowly fades away from us.


The selected Identity loses 30 SP.

Trivia

  • Rose Hunter appears to be based off of the huntsman from the fairy tale Snow White, who was ordered by the Evil Queen to kill Snow White.
    • The Abnormality Ebony Queen's Apple is based off of the Evil Queen and thus may have some connection to Rose Hunter.
  • In its Mirror Dungeon event, Rose Hunter states that it is looking for 'an apple that will become a princess'. This is a direct reference to Snow White's Apple.
    • The apple it is hunting for also appears in said event. It is unknown what relation this apple has to Snow White's Apple, though they both share similarities of being rotten and 'cursed and thrown away'.
  • This Abnormality's E.G.O was briefly called "Snare" when previewed in the Battle Pass with the Season 5 update. It was later corrected to "Lasso" with the October 17th, 2024 update to match with the name used in the Season 5 PV.
    • Similarly, its E.G.O Gift was named "Barbed Snare" prior to the October 24th, 2024 update.
