“ I am afraid. I am Luke, the king of Heblon and the monarch of light and darkness—I can't die such a pathetic death! It can't be a premonition! I won't die. I'll change fate if I must. I'll prove that premonition is wrong. I'll create something in my likeness, so that they could die instead of me. I'll also create the strongest warriors that will allow no enemies near me. ”

Luke, also known as The One Who Touches Earth Without A Word and The King of Heblon, is the ninth Apostle of Pandemonium. Ever since his birth, Luke's blood drove him into a life of endless constructing. While much about Luke still remains unknown, it was him who showed Bakal many events of the future, including the death of the Apostles, and what that entailed.

Luke serves as the central antagonist of the Pandemonium quest-line and final boss of the Luke's Laboratory dungeons.

History

Luke was originally the king of Heblon, a kingdom that is located on a planet different from where the game takes place. Due to unknown reasons, Luke was teleported to Pandemonium and had lost his memories. During this time, the kingdom of Heblon had fallen due to his absence.

Since then, Luke had been exploited by Apostles Hilder and Bakal to construct vast structures across Pandemonium for thousands of years, including the Castle of the Dead and re-building the Metro Center. After completing endless structures, he eventually regained his memories of Heblon. Distraught, he decided to turn Pandemonium into a new Heblon.

At some point, he had caught wind of Hilder's prophecy regarding the eventual death of all Apostles. Fearing for his life, he grew increasingly paranoid and desperate, even going so far as to create an immortal army to fend off Hilder's forces. By the time the Adventurer arrives in Arad, Luke had released the Black Nightmare into Arad, which was used to extract light and dark energies from Arad in order to empower himself.

As the Adventurer attempts to travel to Pandemonium through the Castle of the Dead in Zelva, Luke's defenses had grown significantly. He is declared as a threat by the De Los Empire and Empyreans, who decides that he must be stopped for the sake of Arad's survival. The Adventurer, alongside Empyrean and Imperial forces, eventually break past Luke's magical barrier within the Castle of the Dead and meet him face to face.

If the Adventurer did not side the Grim Seekers, Luke is slain by them, who was empowered with Hilder's blessing. If the Adventurer sided with the Grim Seekers, they, alongside Kasijas, attempt to persuade Luke that his dream of rebuilding Heblon can become a reality, but the destruction of Arad is not the answer. Luke briefly contemplates on Kasijas's words, but is slain by Vaughn Walshuted before he can respond.

Upon his death, a portion of his essence was absorbed by Vaughn Walshuted as it drifted into the air. Furthermore, Gizel appears from a portal and collected something from Luke's body, though it is unknown what it was exactly.

Trivia

Each of Luke's commanders in Luke's Laboratory have a ranking that is synonymous to that of one of the twenty-two Major Arcana from a European Tarot card deck.

Move Set

  • Aura: Luke will cast an armor-like aura around him during the fight that mitigates damage to a bare minimum and cannot be stunned or held while the aura's active. In order to damage Luke, he must receive 250-300 hits that causes the aura to disappear and the message "Light/Darkness is scattering..." to appear, making him vulnerable to damage. There is a casting bar below to show when "scattering" will end. When that bar fills back up and he continues to take hits, the message "Light/Darkness is gathering!" appears, meaning his aura has regenerated.
  • Light/Dark Barrier: Luke jumps to the top-center of the screen and begins to create a huge barrier around himself with a casting bar below saying "Prophesy of Light/Darkness" that starts to fill up. Players must immediately destroy the barrier at all costs once he uses this move, failure to do so will have Luke laugh at the party and he'll reset their skills on cooldown.
  • Barrier Seal: Luke selects the player furthest away and places a barrier upon them. There are differences between the two:
    • (Lumen) Skill Lock: Above the player's head shows six skills of their class that are locked and shouldn't be used while the bubble is in effect. If that player uses said-locked skill, they will be instantly killed and the barrier will transfer over to another player.
    • (Caligo) Dark Seal: The player will be trapped and cannot move at all. This barrier can be destroyed by other members to set them free, otherwise they'll end up being an easy target for Luke's attacks and this too can be transferred over if the trapped player dies.
  • Meteors: Luke summons several meteors that is thrown at the players with explosive properties. He's invulnerable during this move and players are flung in the air upon being hit. Can be avoided by staying still and above Luke's Y-Axis.
  • Triple Laser: Luke shoots three lasers, shooting from the middle, the top, and then the bottom. Not difficult to avoid, but can be flung or juggled if the attack connects.
  • Melee: Luke randomly jumps towards to a player and rapidly punches them, dealing moderate to high damage.
  • Earthquake: Causes explosions in a horizontally straight line. It deals minor damage and players can be juggled upon contact.
  • Light/Dark Balls: Luke summons a mass amount of energy balls while shouting "This is my power!" and launches them down at players. They deal moderate damage and are very fast traveling, making it difficult to avoid and moving on the floor where the balls exploded can cause continuous damage before fading away.
  • Cross Blast: Luke will become dark and invulnerable, he'll start casting a move where the player will also receive a cast bar, including an aura below them. Once the bar is filled, a cross shaped explosion will occur in Lumen while the Caligo variant does a diagonal axis.
  • Reflection Mode (Lumen): "I'll return the favor." After Luke sustains a certain amount of damage, for a short period, Luke will activate this mode collecting and shooting back projectile-based moves at the party. Avoid using projectiles and it's better to refrain from attacking during this move.
  • Absorption Mode: (Caligo): "Your power...fuels me." Similar to Reflection, multi-hitting Luke will enrage him to launch out numerous dark balls at the party, also refrain from attacking when he uses this.
  • Dark Laser Tracker: (Caligo) Luke chooses the player furthest away and targets a giant tracking laser to them, following the selected player. It leaves a trail of damage on the floor and targeted players will have the marker below their feet. Do your best to move away from party members if you're being followed by one.
