Certainly, I doubt we'd be able to comprehend the reasons behind Xau-Tak's goals... but its actions surely serve some purpose.

We know Xau-Tak's main MO is resurrecting the dead, and probably made a deal with Rabid Jack to protect him in exchange for the death Jack provided. But to what purpose? What does Xau-Tak intend to do with so many undead? Why is it so interested in us?

And if Xau-Tak has been on Gielinor since the Second Age...

Why hasn't Gielinor been destroyed yet? You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

You seem to forget that corpses in this lore have a tendency to get up and move. Why leave the bodies lying around when they can remain animate? Wouldn't swimming such an ocean be more rewarding due to the tidal effect of billions of bodies thrashing as you pass? Why leave them merely to rot when they can babble and howl your praises in the dark places, or crawl through your endless labyrinth in terrified silence? In fact, why worry about any of this when your mind is so alien your thoughts make reality boil?

Do you hear that whooshing noise? That's the bar achieving escape velocity. ;) You’re welcome.
O_o ...Could we have "Crumble Undead" back. Please?

Why? You would only need that if you think you can fight them. You*d only try to fight them if you think you can win.
Do you really think you can save them, Aliksandar? You can't. There is an impatient hell that knows your name. And this is Xau-Tak.
By Zaros, suddenly I regret voting for the Pirate Quest... What kind of atrocity have we unleashed...? A

Why hasn't Gielinor been destroyed yet? What if Xau-Tak just likes to mess with mortals because they freak out and/or go insane from trying to make sense of what Xau-Tak is and what it wants (or doesn't want)?

What if Xau-Tak is so incomprehensibly alien that its influence has seeped into the minds of people in the 'real' world?

...What if this entire thread and all who contribute to it are victims of this insanity?

Perhaps we intrigue it? After all, as World Guardian we've achieved far more than the average mortal; we've travelled through time, conquered who knows how many dreadful creatures in our pursuit of wealth and glory and recently we've been privy to the council of at least 4 divine beings. Not to mention our habit of running into Elder artefacts.

As for why the world isn't an ocean or corpses, well maybe Xau-Tak is playing the long game. After all, it seems to enjoy rubbing in our faces the fact that all of our struggles are in vain; perhaps Xau-Tak is simply waiting for us to reach our most confident, most comfortable peak of our careers before emerging and stripping away everything we achieved in one fell, tentacly swoop?

Oh, I'm sure this particular abomination would have been more than content to scheme from the shadows even if we hadn't voted to drag it out into the light.

Besides, we've a track record of beating unpleasant monsters; we beat Mother Mal - no, wait the masonry stole that kill... Ah, we took down Luci - oh right, Strisath stole the spotlight on that one... Pest Queen? Yes, yes that was us.

Either way, my point is that nothing is invincible; everything has a weakness. More importantly we're adventurers ; we make our living achieving what most people in the world consider improbable if not impossible. " When I give my word, I keep it ." -

Maybe Xau-Tak is waiting for.. something to happen.. or someone to come across him or an item of his.
Maybe he's already chosen his champion? Maybe it's... us? A
