He greets her and gives a place on a boat. I think that the only real Spiritfarer is - Charon. farce (for lack of a better term)? So then maybe Charon, along with Hades and Thanatos, were waiting for Stella this whole time, through the Everdoor.
Being an ancient Greek God, he's not really destined to die ever, so maybe the whole intro sequence is something of a. Of course there is the possibility that this is some sort of celebration of her life that's all in her head - a cliché that's about as icky as the ol' "it's all a dream" cliché, probably because they're so very nearly identical! Yet for this, I offer this angle behind the "dream": Charon never really passed on. Sure, in reality there are other hospice workers, but who in the world of Spiritfarer would take over the helm that Stella once had? Charon could pass on the Everlight to Stella, so why not Stella to someone else? And what would become of that ark of hers?
#Daffodil spiritfarer update
The Lily update did make the ending more satisfying, but it still leaves this bit hanging (as well as the question of how Stella got hospitalized, and then passed on). It would seem they are simply not cut out to handle Stella's work with the Everlight. Yet everyone you encounter is a spirit and/or a shade. After all, that very boat was originally designed for Charon, to be powered by the Everlight. I too mildly thought that Buck (or someone like Beverly or Lily, before the updates) would be the next captain of the boat. I'm glad I'm not alone in wondering this. are you supposed to find your replacements like Charon did? Is buck going to take up that mantle now? Or is it just empty forever? Originally posted by TotalAbyss:So when Charon makes you the players Stella and Daffodel the Spritfarers, when its your time to go through the portal. I only draw the line at the idea that Stella (and Daffodil) is the only Spiritfarer helping Spirits move on.Īnd that's without considering that in the game, Stella eventually stops finding new passengers, suggesting that her time as Spiritfarer is strictly limited (if you take it as a representation of events rather than an artifact of the limitations of the game) I come down slightly more on the side of it all being in Stella's head, as a metaphorical interpretation of her life, but if someone believed that there really were dead Spirits that had been hanging around the afterlife for years or decades, who Stella was helping to finally move on to whatever comes next, I wouldn't insist they were wrong. Given that Stella's in-game guests are drawn from decades of her live, there should be billions of Spirits being helped, not just a dozen or so. That doesn't necessarily mean that none of it was real - there could well be a Spiritfarer, and the assorted Spirits Stella helps could have been hanging around the first stage of the afterlife unready to take that next step and pass through the Everdoor - but it could also all have been in Stella's dying mind.Įither way, it's clear that Stella couldn't have been the only active Spiritfarer - in the real world, with billions of people alive, hundreds of thousands die every day - several people every second. Oh, and Daffodil.īetween Lily's content, Stella's encounters with the ghost owl, and the end game, it's clear that Stella's time as Spiritfarer was her own way of coming to terms with her own impending death - reliving (some of) her lifetime experiences with death, both among friends and family (Gwen, Atul, Summer) and through her hospice work before finally making her own trip to the Everdoor.
I suspect the entire Spiritfarer gig was entirely for Stella and Daffodil's benefit - if you look at who Stella takes to the Everdoor, they're all people from Stella's life, who she helped to deal with their own impending deaths.
