Talk:Loptr/@comment-1971498-20150104182451

After playing key parts of the game again and in light of the previous discussion, I feel I should mention certain discoveries I've made.

Loptr actually was only aware of Loki's Sovereign Power and not his power of "nothingness". He didn't fear Loki's Sovereign Power as he had thought that Loki is only able to take them as opposed to actually being able to destroy them. The difference lies in power, Loki is only a child while Loptr is already a full-fledged adult. Even with the Sovereign Power, Loptr recognized that Loki would be unable to defend himself as he was barely even concerned by the notion of Loki regaining his memories of them. It should also be mentioned that the Remembrance of Time worked as a convenient tool for Loptr as it actually allowed Loki to awaken his Sovereign Power. It's clear that Loptr actually desired the outcome of Loki regaining his memories as it served in allowing Loki to realize the Soverign Power's true potential (something that was needed in order for Loptr to regain both Eyes in the end). Even with the Sovereign Power fully realized, it was obvious that Loptr did not fear any of Loki's abilities and it seemed that he only wanted Balder to kill Loki as means of taking hold of his soul and to give Balder a reason to fight for in the present. Loki's power of nothingness has no connection to his Sovereign Power, and Loki even outright mentions that Loptr was unaware of it, hence it being Loki's trump card.
