Moonlit.6421 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Alright guys so I have a question for you because this is something I haven't heard of. The above is the new Legendary Focus in case you haven't seen it yet, and its name is like the title implies The Binding Of Ipos. Who is Ipos, why is he bound, and who bound him? These are things I desperately want to know but I haven't seen any knowledge on this. Anyone else have an idea as to the origin behind this book?

Narcemus.1348 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 To my knowledge, I have never heard that name in association with Guild Wars. But I am going to make a bit of speculation...Ipos is the predecessor to Abaddon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryelis.3508 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Not recalling any reference in GW but...Ipos is a demon. Earl and Prince of Hell in demonology (one of the 72 demons in the Ars Goetia and one of the 69 in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum) with many legions under his command. If I remember correctly, he had the ability to reveal the past, present, and future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Balthazar. Lyssa. Lazarus. Jormungand®. Fenrir.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:References_to_folklore_%26_mythologyThat's just GW1. It's not very uncommon to use mythology for either major figures or even unimportant bosses.As to the lore, unless something pops up this episode there's no prior mention. Based on its appearance though, I'd bet a powerful demon of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlit.6421 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hm, does making the legendary give any insight? Or is it just complete X collection to receive the first part, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 It's not even a collection, it's the same as Eureka and later legendaries - just crafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but each stage of it is scribed with some unknown alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
