Talos in the Unmoored World
So, I never fought Talos during the regular game. I didn’t even know it was an option. I remember one point a bunch of cutscenes with him walking through the water and to the shore. But it didn’t seem like I could go and fight him. Plus I was paranoid about accidentally triggering the end game at that point so I just kept doing what I was doing. Now I keep seeing videos for UW that mention finding Talos.
Did I mess anything up by not fighting him originally? For context I’ve closed all the red portals—five in total: Sacred Arbor, Batthaal, Vermund, Excavation Site and Volcanic Island and am now going to do all the evacuation quests.
Bro really saw giant walking statue leaving a wake of destruction and said “Not my problem.”
lol. Pretty much!
You missed cutscene/s of kaiju fights in unmoored world and some dialogue. And achievements.
You missed Talos killing two beacons for you.
Ah. So that’s why I had to do five beacon fights where others only did three.
But if you fight Talos wouldn’t he be destroyed and not able to battle the two beam monsters?
I did the same thing to be fair, as I thought that would trigger the end game and I wanted to do other stuff before I finished! So don't you worry pal I did the same thing and haven't fought this dude, means I have to play another play through so all good.
How did you not know it was an option?
I thought it would be available when I was ready to keep advancing the story, if that makes sense.
It's one of those situations where you only find out for yourself if you have the mentality of "hey, that thing is fucking huge, I wonder if I can fight it".
If you don't stop it in time it is destroyed when it reachs the Agamon ruins, so nothing to do on the unmoored world
In my first playthrough, I was very actively trying to avoid progressing main quests, to explore every speck of the map and find as many secrets as possible. When the game told me to go through the gate, I said "Hell no" and went the other direction. Then suddenly I started getting these "Meanwhile.." cutscenes.
In NG+, I took care of the Talos and then let my pawn possess it in endgame.
After that run, I didn't bother with the Talos again. Once you have the achievment, it doesn't really add anything to the game. In my opinion it's more fun to have two extra endgame bosses to fight, than to fight the Talos.
That’s kind of what I did too. Well, I’ve only done one playthrough but yeah, I was not ready to progress the story so when the meanwhile cut scenes started I just keit doing what I was doing and ignored it.
Same, I ignored him so I could stay in the regular game though I had the "Giant Dude" quest. I finally went to Unmoored at level 95, with all Pawn badges done except Lesser Dragon, and Warg.
I already closed the portals and did the evacuation quest, then killed the Lesser Dragons, and forgot all about Talos. ;)
I guess I would rather have killed the beacons myself anyway.

Ahhh, that is why he is just "gone." ;)
I didn't know not doing that quest right away did that; the end MSQ quest kind of snuck up on me and I knew I'd be "locked in" if I proceeded so I stopped at that quest so I could enjoy the regular game for 25 more levels. ;) I thought doing him was the "locked in" point.
