The Burrowing Heaven: An Abnormality in Library of Ruina
Subtlety Meets Destruction: The Burrowing Heaven's Nature
The Burrowing Heaven (TBH), designated O-04-72, is a WAW-class Abnormality that manifests as a crimson, tree-like structure with skeletal wing-like extremities. A yellow eye with a red iris resides at the junction of its main body, while smaller eyes adorn other parts of its form.
A Symbology of Ambition and Despair
TBH embodies the concept of self-destructive ambition and the relentless pursuit of an unattainable goal. Its introductory narrative suggests that the Abnormality is a representation of Hokma's perception of Ayin. However, TBH's resemblance to Carmen hints at the source of Ayin's obsession and the genesis of Angela.
Gameplay Mechanics: A Puzzle of Sight and Attention
TBH's gameplay mechanics revolve around maintaining its attention. In Lobotomy Corporation, the Abnormality requires constant observation; failure to do so will result in a decreased Qliphoth counter and subsequent breach. In Library of Ruina, TBH's wings extend towards the player, representing its need for observation.
Strategies for Success
Defeating TBH requires a delicate balance of maintaining attention while managing its thorns. Utilizing pause mechanics to freeze the counter is a crucial strategy. Additionally, the Book of Dennis provides valuable opportunities to reset TBH's counter. Careful deck selection and teamwork are essential for overcoming this challenging encounter.
Conclusion: A Monstrous Metaphor
The Burrowing Heaven serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition. Its gameplay mechanics mirror the constant vigilance and attention necessary to achieve success while highlighting the fragility of focus. As a narrative device, TBH embodies the complexities of human desire and the consequences of pursuing an unattainable goal.
