Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (2002 Video Game)

Richard Doyle: Pious Augustus, Defeated General, Liche & All His Many Incarnations, Ulyaoth

Quotes 

• Pious Augustus : You too will come to understand fear, as I have.

• Pious Augustus : Aeons have passed since then, and I have learned much. All at once I understood. The forces of the multiverse all made sense, under the transcending power of Ulyaoth. No mountain too high. No city too far. Face me and you shall surely perish!

• Pious Augustus : Aeons have passed since then, and I have learned much. I was once as naive as a child, but now my mind is sharp. With the power of Xel'lotath, I can now read the thoughts of others, and make them raving mad with a mere suggestion. Face me and you shall surely perish!

• Pious Augustus : Aeons have passed since then, and I have learned much. Chattur'gha's power filled me, invigorating my dead body. With a touch, I could level buildings, rend the ground asunder, and channel power such as mortal men could only dream. Face me and you shall surely perish!

• Pious Augustus : To think that once I could not see beyond the veil of our reality... to see those who dwell behind. My life now has purpose, for I have learned the frailty of flesh and bone... I was once a fool...

• Pious Augustus : The Darkness is not so easily destroyed!

  Pious Augustus : No! My death is just the beginning!

  Ms. Alexandra Roivas : What have I done?

  Dr. Edward Roivas : Quickly, Alex! We must bind this creature! It cannot be allowed to reamin in his Uninverse!

  Dr. Edward Roivas : It is finally over, my dear. The Ancient's plans are finished for now at least. You have proved to be an incredibly courageous young woman. Your mother and father would have proud of you, just as I am. I'm sorry it had to be like this. It's not quite the inheritance I had in mind for you, but there was so little time, and so much to do... Goodbye, Alex. I will miss you...

  Ms. Alexandra Roivas : There was something more, like a hole being opened in my mind, disguising the thoughts there... I can almost see it... I have a strong ally, but where? I must look to the future. My work is not yet done...

• Pious Augustus : Fool!

  [spits on Alex's Dead Body] 

  Pious Augustus : I spit at thee! The Darkness shall be eternal!

• Pious Augustus : Your prescence is welcomed, majesty. As always I am honored.

  Xel'lotath : Our dealings are a pleasure to us both, then...

  Xel'lotath's second voice : He lies...

  Xel'lotath : As do we all...

  Xel'lotath's second voice : What is this flaw you wish to discuss with us?

  Pious Augustus : My concern is with the other Ancients... Ulyaoth... Chattur'gha... Should they unite with Mantorok, they would doubtlessly possess enough power to vanquish even thee...

  Xel'lotath : As darkness abhors light, and light abhors dark. The others will not, cannot join forces!

  Xel'lotath's second voice : Mantorok will bound and the others will seep into insanity when I return...

  Xel'lotath : ...as has been foretold...

  Pious Augustus : I was unaware...

  Xel'lotath : There is much you do not know...

  Xel'lotath's second voice : ...and much you never will...

  Xel'lotath : Be certain to retrieve Mantorok's Essence. It is necessary to cement our place in the world.

  Pious Augustus : Then what of Charlemagne the Frank? What do you intend for him?

  Xel'lotath : The Frank is an instrument of Light. He seeks to unite Europe under his banner.

  Xel'lotath's second voice : With this in place, my Guardians would be hard-pressed to perform the functions you require...

  Xel'lotath : ...for your own schemes, Pious... think of your future...

  Pious Augustus : Then Charlemagne will be removed from the picture.

  Xel'lotath's second voice : Make sure he is dead... Or... insane...

  Xel'lotath : Or perhaps one, then the other? Just make sure he is removed from power.

  Pious Augustus : Of course. He is as good as dead...

• Pious Augustus : I am the scourge of God, appointed to chastise you, since no one knows the remedy for your iniquity except me. You are wicked, but I am more wicked than you.

• Pious Augustus : The power of Mantorok is not easily controlled.

  Dr. Edwin Lindsey : What makes you think I want to control it?

  Pious Augustus : [laughs]  Foolish man!

  [Pious gestures for a pair of monsters to attack Lindsey] 

  Pious Augustus : Kill him, and make sure you succeed this time.

• Pious Augustus : You're a scholar, Doctor Lindsey - not a warrior. In that regard I have several centuries more experience than you.

• [Mantorok devours two guards] 

  Pious Augustus : So, you are reduced to feeding on flesh and bone, Mantorok. How the mighty have fallen. You will surely fester for millennia to come. A slow torturous fate, for thee...

  [to Ellia] 

  Pious Augustus : You had best leave, young fool! Or you will find yourself as food for the Dead God!

• Ulyaoth : The Universe is a yawning chasm, filled with emptiness and the puerile meanderings of sentience. Why should you deserve special consideration within it, Augustus, above all else?

  Pious Augustus : I am your servant, my lord, as always! That, and nothing more.

  Ulyaoth : Yes. That, and nothing more...

• Pious Augustus : Ah, Ms. Roivas! You're just in time. The summoning spell I began two-thousand years ago, is finally complete! You will now have the honor of becoming the first morsel for my lord, Chattur'gha! An appetizer for the banquet your race shall provide.

  Ms. Alexandra Roivas : You forget what it means to be human, Pious! The human race will never go quietly into the darkness! For as long as you have spent summoning your lord, people have struggled against you! Now, thanks to their efforts, I have three of the ancients' essences. Now, Pious, this is the end!

  Pious Augustus : [laughs]  The end, indeed!
