FFXIV Endwalker - Part 26: Orcus [Unspoiled]

Summary: Level 73-75 reaper quests. Arnegis. An intensely creepy villain arrives, tongue a-wagging. 

"Such a singular specimen must be given time to fatten, to fulfill its succulent potential." 
-Orcus



-It's strange. The taunting, sinister, evil demon is definitely an archetype, in the mold of Pazuzu from "The Exorcist." And yet I don't think it's one we've seen much of in this game? Not relative to the amount of content XIV offers. 

-And if we have, it hasn't been done as well as it is here. I've only met Orcus once (with some build-up), but his impact is powerful and immediate. 

-I'm never getting over the tongue loll at 31:56. Never.
