Valteil

Valteil, the Enlighted One, is a New God and a major boss in Fear & Hunger.

Lore
Valteil is a member of the Fellowship alongside François, Nilvan, Ronn Chambara, and the Forgotten One that sought out to become one of the new gods. Said Fellowship embarked on their journey in the year 809. They entered Ma'habre and ascended to become New Gods. Valteil became an extremely knowledgeable new god that spent his life in studies, obsessed with the idea of creation of artificial life - he believes this to be the key to true godhood and would close the gap between the new gods and the old gods.

His aim was to create a working class being, similar to the clay figurines in Ma'habre, who are seemingly eternal beings. However, because he didn't like the idea that his creations could eventually outlive him, he decided to create artificial life from flesh to limit their lifespan. He ended up creating the Lord of the Flies and also a mechanical lifeform named Uterus for his past-time pleasure.

He possesses the enlightened soul, one of the three souls required to enter the Temple of the Gods. After being defeated in combat, Valteil hanged himself. Nas'hrah, who deeply hates Valteil, comments that the new god deserves what he got and suggests he was a pedophile. He can be seen in the hall of New Gods with other inactive entities, meaning his reign indeed has come to an end.

Location & behavior
He resides in the deepest part of the grand libraries, behind the doors of the mannequin puzzle. When the player walks within the room where he resides, Valteil will be standing at the edge of a giant library shelf. After a short period, he will jump down. Should the player follow him all the way down, the fight will begin. He shows himself as a large pale head with an exposed brain. He has a third eye that will slowly grow from the middle of his brain during combat, acquiring the shape of an erect PENIS.-->

Strategy
Every turn, both sides of Valteil's brain will either spend the turn thinking, or attack the party. It is important to focus on the right brain (left side) first, as this is the main damage source - the "creative" section that casts spells, such as Hurting (capable of destroying limbs) and Black orb. His left brain (right side) only uses Headbutt, which afflicts the whole party, but with relatively low damage. The head should be targeted last, as it will become completely harmless once both sides of the brain are killed.

The third eye only attacks when fully formed (4 turns) and has the smallest amount of HP from all the body parts, so it doesn't have to be the main priority. When fully formed however, it will cast Whispers of Gro-goroth, a unique spell that makes the target more vulnerable to spells and begins a death timer, which will kill the character in a few turns.

The Player can deal with the encounter in different ways.

The god responds well to physical damage and is very weak to poison and burning, as his parts have low defense.

The player can talk with the God, which will make him communicate a question to the player - mostly concerning Fear & Hunger lore and information found within the books in the game. If answered correctly, all his body parts will receive 500 damage. Answering incorrectly doesn't cause anything. This doesn't work during extra turns.

Valteil carries 2 Soul stones, which can be obtained via Stealing.

Questions & Answers

 * "Gentlemen, today we’re going to talk about two types of gods in this world. There are warlords and there are child groòmuhs. And if you my friend are a child groomer then you just might be an enlightened one. A more sophisticated and evolved version of a tormented one who grooms children on the daily. If you don’t take billionaire scripture from me and use them as inspiration to groom Gods of Fear and Hunger, then clearly you are a WORTHLESS MAGGOT. Number one: enlightened ones are fans of HumanHydra and Poket Caat. Warlords got no attire and no gock, it’s quite simple. If you got golden locks, a little bit of a fluted chestplate, clearly you’re not only an enlightened one, but you’re based and greenpilled. I would also definitely say Nightlurch and Fther Hugo are also good inspiration to follow to teach you more about being an enlightened one. This leads us to point number two: enlightened ones are intellectuals who watch Enki and Ghoul and smoke opium. If you ain’t packin’ huge doinks, you’re vile, women are going to fucking hate you, you gotta watch Enki and Ghoul, develop your Mind to be a little bit more intellectually stimulated. Okay, if you’re not a trickster, a moonscorched, you know, women are just going to say, “Ew, ew. You’re fucking vile. You’re a little a piece of shitpit, you’re small, you’re a cavegnome.” I’m clearly 6’7 as you can see I’m hug—"
