Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Question from MrSmegheneghan
Asked on: 3/25 2:21AMI've been on the forums, and they're talking about a Yellow Ancient as if it was in the game. What the hell are they on about, cause I've played the game quite often, and have seen no mention of this "Yellow Ancient"?
There is a fifth ancient in the mythos that corresponds to the yellow magick that appears in the game at various points in the game. Dennis Dyack confirmed this in a previous blog post. From what Dennis Dyack has said in other blog posts in the past, the universe that ED is created in is extensible storywise (which would make it very similar to Lovecraft's own mythos), so there may be many more ancients as well that are yet unnamed but which could appear in future games.

statusFrom what I heard, the Yellow Ancient was taking out of the game before it was completed, it isn't in the game anymore. But in the first chapter, stuff that's normally the color of the chosen Ancient is yellow.
People mainly question it because of the yellow coloured magic that pops into the game a lot. As you can tell, the alignment of your magick determines what colour the spell is; Xel'lotath is green and all that. There's the flooring in Enn'gha that has a yellow spell on it, the sparks from scroll intended for Charlemegne are yellow, the dynamite in Michael's chapter was activated by what looked like a yellow spell...so naturally people think it's another ancient, one with a yellow colour, at work. Most people who talk about it on forums are hoping it to be explained in a sequel.
