How Do You Kill Lord English?

[Random_Odd_Guy]

Guys, your thinking too much, LE isn't the embodiment of entropy, or any other fundamental part of the universe (which entropy is not anyway, one of the laws of the universe is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only change forms) or even related to sburb...all we know, is that he is a time traveling demon, runs a gang of pool themed minions, and enters universes after they are destroyed through the corpse of doc scratch...And allegedly he cannot be killed by anything except glitching the universe, or a really shitty pistol (which we don't know anything about, except it was a piece of shit). We also know that he is more powerful than a first guardian, and more powerful than Hussie.

Even if he WAS part of a code, coding can be destroyed by data within the system, thats what VIRUSES ARE....

I have one core reason that some sort of wierd time shit wont stop LE. Meta. Between all of the currently living characters, (and the dead ones, because, after all, they can still provide ideas and information) pulling off some wierd time trick to trap LE would be cakewalk. That would be insanely anticlimactic.

More anticlimactic than just shooting him?

Also I think you're underestimating how difficult it is to trap a time traveling demon with a weird time trick. That's basically what the first 5-10 pages of this thread was all about.

More anticlimactic than just shooting him?

Good point. I give up.

[Random_Odd_Guy]

Unless you do it in an epic way...i imagine shooting him with a gun holding only one ammo is very difficult considering his time travel and teleportation abilities, alas, wierd time shit is probably necessary to get him into a situation where you CAN shoot him...

[opuk0]

You don't

Be late while being on time... it will break him.

[Zedkan]

That depends. Is it canon that only Stitch (9) can heal his Cairo overcoat?

[Diffractor]

Well, let's see what we have so far in the comic. Dave's next rung is Pimpslayer, Jake has been implied to defeat LE, but without killing him, there is that one panel with UU and uu holding the deudly firearm, and Dirk's soul destroying ability and Roxy's ability to flummox even those with plans beyond mortal understanding. Aranea has also said that defeating a foe doesn't always involve killing, and that he has had many incarnations in many universes, and that he long ago discovered the secret to indestructibility. The thing about many incarnations in many universes is not good news, because it would seem to imply that there isn't just one Lord English, the one that came from Doc Scratch, but that there is one per universe where he exists. This "secret to indestructibility" thing is what we really need to know for sure to start figuring out how to kill him, because if we don't know how he is immortal, we won't know what to do to circumvent that.

It seems, from story foreshadowing, that the kids will prevent LE from entering the universe they will create, or any other universes afterwards, but also that somebody else will kill him for good. Time shenanigans will be probably be needed to kill him, maybe involving Slick's voodoo doll. And I also have a hunch that LE is in the lotus time capsule, and will emerge in the far future after Red Miles has destroyed the universe, to paralell what happened with A2. Also, Complacency of the Learned was said to be about cosmic events surrounding the witch and LE and how all this came about, so I suspect that UU and uu will have something to do with the origin of Lord English. We need more info to start making any concrete plans.

To kill Lord English, you must hit him in his one weak spot.

His gold tooth.

[MockingJay]

To kill LE, you must prevent the scratch from happening by doing the following.
1). Make one of the God Tier Kids (Preferably Jade) and one of the God Tier Trolls (Preferably Gamzee) go back in time and
i). Put Sn0wman, Spades Slick, Andrew Hussie, Doctor Scratch in cyrosleep.
ii). Destroy the Server which has LE's summoning code.
iii). Kill the Black Queen & destroy the ring.
2). Get Rose to go way the hell back in time and convince Skianet to make Sburb a downloadable game for computers instead of making it into disc form. This includes the client and server.
3). Get them to return to the present before weird time shit takes effect
Of course this would lead to weird time shit and force the Beta kids and trolls to move to the alpha multiverse but they are already doing that so it would result in no change to what's happening now. But, this would so totally have so many potholes involved, that one of the people in this thread with an IQ of 1025 would piss me off about it.

[Kaleb702]

Yeah, the main plot hole in that is...
The effects of their time travel would already be in effect. Time-travel in this universe has its effects since the side of travel that's farthest in the past.

[entrando2]

Homestuck has a bit of Earthbound so maybe to end LE the prayer of all the MSPA readers will be needed!

And if you want anticlimatic I think the "put Lord English in a sylladex card and then turn the card into grist" would be too extreme.

[Kaleb702]

And if you want anticlimatic I think the "put Lord English in a sylladex card and then turn the card into grist" would be too extreme.

Eh, it could be climactic. If the card was filled with eldritch terror and threatening to spill over all the while, and LE's lackeys and stuff keep trying to get him back.

Oh, and of course, an epic showdown to be ABLE to captchalogue him.

[Conspicuous]

You combine one of Spade's knives with the Cueball Magnum, forming the one weapon that can kill Lrd English.

Wizardology contains the answers to each and every one of Homestuck's mysteries.

[Sparrowsmith]

No see.
You play Noirscape.
That's all you do. Then A2 Jack comes running to kill him.

He's got dibbs.

[Dakloze Duif]

tl;dr version:
Shenanigans.

[Duke of York]

Lord English's only weakness is











SPANISH

[Snowyowl]

B2 Jack will eventually kill him with SEPULCHRITUDE.

[ImperatorMortis]

Take away/destroy his cane?

[cyanAmpersand]

Spades Slick will make the ultimate sacrifice.

Except with scottie dogs.

[CSJ]

You tell him why he doesn't/can't exist.

He will disappear in a puff of logic.

[Diffractor]

Yell "Calliope" at him, assuming the "uu is Lord English" theory is true.

[ImperatorMortis]

Mate with him.

LE is secretly just a lonely bastard who longs for the gentle caress of another living creature. That's why he's so pissed off all the time.

[invisibleTerrarium]

Just say "CALLIOPE, IDIOT," and he will keel over and fall asleep like a little baby.

he's now the last of his species, and had to amass great amounts of power to become nearly immortal. He hates the other women because there is nobody left for him anymore.

He got time powers, but everytime he tried to fix what was done, it would create a doomed timeline and change nothing. Eventually became a bitter, angry demon that wants to destroy the game and everything it created.

Time marched on, his soul became black and hollow, and all he lives for is to destroy and kill and damn does he love his job.

erm.
