Also, just for fun, can we get some theorizing on what it means to have a Godhood Teir level of i , assuming of course that it wasn't just a way of saying "NaNa I'm not telling."

Sure. The impossible teir.

Theory 1: Jmods are trolling you.
Theory 2: Xau is based on lovecraftian gods which are described as being impossible for mortals to comprehend. Therefore Xau is impossible to comprehend
Theory 3: It is impossible for a being like Xau to fall into any of the known god teirs.

Or D. All of the Above.

Finally if you must power scale, in an answer to a lore corner question of wouldnt zaros and seren just destroy Xau Tak, Mod Jack responded that they wouldnt be powerful enough to. So power wise hes probably at t2 or above or better yet, ti.

Theory 4: The idea of Xau-Tak being a god is imaginary (hence the use of an imaginary number to describe it).

And power needed to destroy something does not necessarily correspond to said thing's own power. None of the gods could touch Tuska because of her anima barrier, yet she was only t4. Hostilius the Autocrat was stated to be about as powerful as a t5 god, yet he was not a god.

All Mod Jack's statement necessitates is that Xau-Tak is really really hard to kill. Assuming Xau-Tak was the corruption in Renmark, we already knew as much since the elder blade couldn't even kill it.

So....

New quest you get your first look at Xau....or at least what your mind can conceive of his arm. Looked a lot like Mah's arm.
I have seen the dark universe yawning, where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.

You're not wrong. I mean after all Zaros and Seren both attacked Sliske at the same time and he was like "Meh, come at me bro....and sis." I have seen the dark universe yawning, where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.

Xau may also be perceived by the players as an interdimensional kitten. Let that sink in. And I only wish I were joking.

Do you really think you can save them, Devil Vein? You can't. There is line of sharp cat claw marks and pet fur allergies in your face and this is Xau-Tak!

6th Elder God? if it looked like Mah's arm...


also looked like a very large version of the new cave horror model arm. So...maybe?

As for the stone arm, it could be Elder related, but also could just be a stone, humanoid arm. It's also interesting to me that at one point shortly after Kindred Spirits (and i don't remember if it was twitter or reddit) there was speculation about the voice talking to Sliske being Xua-Tac, and Mod Raven said something along the lines of "it's not. The words come from one with a lot more significance" So I'm slightly more skeptical to think of Xua-tac as an Elder God, and definitely not one that could rival Jas.

She is the most powerful elder. Even her sisters pale in comparison. So xau may have a plan for destroying the elders but cant do so quite yet.
