Summary0010496: Killing the Overlord doesn't kill the Overlord
Description...it just turns his sprite transparent. Demonaica still rampages through the world map, killing people, destroying tiles, etc., and the red square things still appear. All that has changed is his sprite is gone.

Do you happen to have a save of this? Others have beaten the game without any issues, so it definitely sounds like something weird is going on here.

I can confirm that this happens. Other people have beaten the game and this probably happened for them too, it's just they usually don't keep playing afterward or something.

I've had this happen as well. I just assumed it was because the ending sequence hadn't been implemented yet. I think I still have my save game.

I added my save game file. It's from a few versions ago.

On the overworld, after you get the oblivion crystal it is Elder out there, not Demonaica. It's a different sprite, currently just temporary, on the overworld. But is Demonaica not dying in the side view of the game finale as well?

I was referring to the overworld. Demonaica dies in the combat level.

If that's really the case, you might want to find some way to make it clearer. But honestly I think it would be a lot more fun if you remove the Overlord entirely and allow a kind of free exploration mode a la AVWW1 after Demonaica is dead, instead of just supplanting him with Elder.

Who or what is this Elder character, anyway? And why does his face appear on the AVWW2 banner on the site?

Got it, it's all working as intended except for the temporary graphics at the moment, then.

Elder is the most evil of the henchmen, and he's truly immortal -- he has no need of an oblivion crystal, and you can't kill him. In his own way he's more powerful than Demonaica, and there are clues as to what is going on with him and Demonaica throughout the game. He's not a good little servant, anyhow, and is the most iconic and interesting villain in the game if you figure out his backstory.

I think the bug is after you kill Demonaica, Elder's sprite disappears from the map.

Ah, I see. Actually, after killing the overlord we had it in our notes that Elder was supposed to stop rampaging around, too. But it sounds like he's there-but-invisible. So this is a bug after all...

Oh, yes. That was what I was trying to say. I apologise; I did not read your response properly.

I've also uploaded two of my game-complete saves, if it'll help.

Thanks for the follow-up, glad it's working now :)

Whether your world will consider you rampaging better than Demonaica/Elder rampaging, well... ;)
