Heritage Tower Options?

[GadgetSun]

I'm confused on what does which for the soul egg thing,

 

End means just stop it yes?

and pulse it means to destroy it?

 

Which one frees up the souls?

 

I talked to inca but I didn't really understand her.

[gkathellar]

Both options will free the souls, but destroying the machine ensures it can never be used again.

Both options will free the souls, but destroying the machine ensures it can never be used again.

but doesn't that destroy the souls?

that was the one thing I didn't get.

[gkathellar]

No, it frees them to return to the cycle.

Strange...

I was pretty sure that destroying the machine destroys the souls. That they return to the cycle only when stopping the machine.

 

You sure, mate?

Hrmm.

 

Google seems to agree with you, but I could have sworn that there was no implication of the souls being destroyed.

[zered]

Did this part yesterday. Souls are destroyed.

[Spirtikus]

Did this part yesterday. Souls are destroyed.

Yes, but in the long run its more 'noble' to destroy the machine.

[zered]

Well yes, it's the safer option. Sacrifice the few to save the many.

[Skie Nightfall]

Just eat the souls, you silly!

Journal entry for stoping the machine:

 

"I turned the machine atop Teir Nowneth off, which means that the souls in Heritage Hill can be returned to the cycle."

 

Journal entry for destroying the machine:

 

"To prevent the machine from ever being used again, I sacrificed the trapped souls of Heritage Hill to destroy the machine."

 

There is of course the third possibility, but enough spoilers
