Pulsing Crystal

It's kind of eerie.

The Pulsing Crystal is a mysterious, sentient object located in the Serbule Crypt.

“

Well, when you kill my undead bodies I just come back, because those emotions still exist in me. The only way to kill me would be to destroy the tiny dimension where my soul lives. I've searched for a spell that's powerful enough, but never found one. So as far as I know, I'm unkillable.

It's a small world without a sun. There's no air except around a small farm I made. There are undead caretakers, some rhinos and other augmented animals... but mostly, it's just a mansion surrounded by nothingness. There's no way in, as far as I know.

Well there's the sentience that you're talking to, plus two undead bodies of me. Once is fueled by my rage, and the other my despair. A third one is trying to form, based on my jealousy of the living, but I'm keeping that under control! I do a lot of meditation.

Location

Available on Floor 2 of the Serbule Crypt, the Pulsing Crystal is located behind a magic wall, past the Necromancy Altar. The room before the crystal is guarded by two Placeholder Bosses - rhinos with massive health and armor regen.
