Valediction

WARNING! This page describes heavily incomplete content. Everything seen here is subject to change. Also, this content is exclusive to Sacrificial Mode.
Valediction is a secret boss in My Normal Obsession that can be found in Central Harandal, however, he can only be fought in Sacrificial Mode. He is the campaign's final challenge, with attacks that are ludicrously difficult to avoid. However, Valediction is not required for 100% completion. To unlock his fight, one must first defeat Exon, Harbinger of Blessings. After doing so, Valediction will say the following:
"CHILD OF LIGHT, HAVEN'T THOU FORSAKEN THY PURPOSE? THOU HAVE INCITED VIOLENCE AGAINST THE GODDESS, SALEM, DESTROYING HER MIGHTIEST OF CREATIONS. COME HITHER, SAGE. I SHALL SMOTHER THY ASHES ACROSS THE LAND, FOR ALL GODS TO SEE THINE WRONGDOING."
After this line of dialogue, there should be a large altar that appears on the player's map that, when hovered over, simply says "???". After heading to the approximate location, the sky will go completely dark, with Harandal's overworld theme becoming heavily distorted. After a few seconds, a huge red light with a pentagram in the center will begin following the player, with Valediction speaking one last time:
"AT LONG LAST, I HAVE THY SPIRIT IN MY HANDS. THOU SHALL ROT BEFORE THE WEIGHER OF SOULS, RETURNING TO THE VERY EARTH THOU CRAWLED OUT OF. FAREWELL, SAGE."
A boss bar will suddenly appear, with screaming heard in the background (mixed with low-pitched strings and percussion). It's here that Valediction starts his fight with the player.
== Trivia ==
* Valediction's design was heavily inspired by this image, which is one of the loading screens in Postal Redux.
* Valediction is Latin for "farewell".
* It's said that Valediction is larger than Harandal itself.
* Lore-wise, Valediction serves as a way to eternally torment those who have killed or forsaken gods, especially Salem. This explains why his background music mostly consists of screaming.
* Valediction's death is 100% canon. However, Exon lives for at least another thousand years after My Normal Obsession.
