Node

Node is a white rabbit in the form of a human. She has rabbit ears, white hair, and red eyes that are passionate. Her hair is long and tied up in a long braid and it has a light red ribbon attached to it as well. Out of clothing, she doesn’t wear anything revealing, just a white robe that looks perfect on her because of how it encapsulates the shape of her body, along with wearing a clock necklace. Node is fairly attractive and she’s very charming.

White Rabbit Node is an important character in BLACKSOULS 2 that’ll allow you to level up. She’s your ally and someone you can always turn back to in the game. Node is one of the Great Ones and her role in the story is significant.

You can find her for the first time in the Library Dream, which you can access by dying. She won’t be immediately there, only if you progress a little bit in the game.

Node is one of the most useful characters in the game because through her you can level up your character. And she offers a nice covenant pretty early on.

Library Dream When you meet Node for the first time she’ll introduce herself and declare her loyalty to you. She’ll welcome you to Wonderland, and warn you of the Four Nightmares that you can find in this Garden:

The Frumious Bandersnatch The Mad Bird Jubjub The Corpse Dragon Jabberwock The Queen of the Heart

Talking to Node will allow you to get the dialogue option through which you can level up your character. You can also buy colored souls from her, enter a covenant with her, and kill or force her to have intercourse with you.

Killing her will decrease your SEN, and raping her will increase it. Although she will always appear again.

Sleeping Node At one point in the game, when you come to the Library Dream, there’s a possibility you can encounter Node sleeping on her chair.

You will have multiple choices you can make when you interact with her while she’s in the sleeping state. You can wake Node up, force her into intercourse, or just play with her. Regardless of what you do, she’ll wake up. But certain options have certain fun consequences.

Ending G/F When you reject all the Alices and choose Alice Liddell, you will initiate the events that precede either Ending F or Ending G. During this time you will be in the Little Girl’s Nightmare area, where you will have to get through to the majority of the characters from the game, but they’re in their true forms that are very violent.

When you reach a certain point you will see Node who will not oppose you like the rest. She will talk to you about why all of this is happening, mentioning The Crawling One and Mary Sue – at the end of the dialogue she will kiss you.

Node still likes you, even though the entire Wonderland is against you.

Node’s Role There are houses in Winterbell you can enter, and inside those houses, there are stuffed polar bears that can show you memories of certain events that happened between certain Great Ones.

This memory starts off with Mabel complaining to Node how “this place” stinks of the shore, stating her clothes will get moldy. Node will offer Mabel some wine and then she will remark how she heard Mabel has stepped down from the stage, which Mabel will confirm.

Mabel will say how she was “intrigued by that child’s masterpiece”. She will then outwards reject Node’s offer to take a human shape, sit in her Garden, and “propagate with that toy”. Mabel will compliment the quality of its soul, saying how she’d even like to have it in her Garden, Shatranj.

Node will get mad and she will call out Mabel for taking advantage of other people’s work while acting as the one who made it. She calls Mabel a parasite and even compares her to Mary Sue.

Mabel will laugh and say how she’s done playing pretend human, then she will ask Node to show her true nature, asking her why is she giving away the crown to “shelter that child”, asking her if she wants to take it and devour it. She will then call Node out even more by saying how she’s actually scheming something because that’s a Great One’s true nature.

Node will not agree with what Mabel is saying, and she will say that she’s actually motivated by love. This will make Mabel laugh even more because she doesn’t believe a Great One can love, but Node won’t back down and she will instead say how she understands the human heart. She will talk more about the “human heart”, and how that’s something every Outer One wants to have.

Node will say even if it’s only faux-humanity, she still wants to understand him, she wants to know true love, and she wants to experience it.

Mabel will be disgusted by everything Node is saying, and she will let her know that, saying how it’s impossible for an Outer One to understand emotions, and that Node will grow bored with it.

Node will tell her to leave her Garden because she doesn’t want to hear more of her insults.

But then, Mabel will suddenly say how she didn’t come to argue with Node, but rather she wants to tell her how she will get the love she desires. Node’s ear will twitch, and Mabel will ask her to lend her that ear so she can whisper something to her.

Mabel will say how she had enough of “this joke of a party”, and that’s why she wants to end this quickly. So, if Node does the thing Mabel whispered to her, she will get the chance to outplay them all and be the sole winner.

Node won’t trust her so easily but Mabel will ask her if she’d “be happier to be shown a fantastic tale than to live an unfulfilling reality?”. Node will think for a little bit, and declare how for his happiness she will act.

Mabel will suddenly tell Node to wait, Node won’t understand, but Mabel will follow up with “it’s listening”, most likely alluding to the Crawling One.

Submitting to Grand Guignol Node is a key character in the events around the fight with Grand Guignol, she’s your most faithful companion.

When you approach Grand Guignol you don’t have to fight it, you can just submit to it and give it your soul.

If you do that then you will get a game over, but before that a short scene and dialogue with Node.

Node will wake you up from your sleep and say how the Crawling One is non-stop assaulting Wonderland, but she will reassure you how it’s alright by saying you should be able to deal with it because now you’ve “awakened as a Creator”.

After that Node will continue to talk about how the Garden is ready, along with how “our children are many in number”. Then from a black screen, it will cut to a scene of Node in some kind of a morbid place, while she’s pregnant presumably with you, i.e. Grimm.

Ending H When you defeat Grand Guignol, Node will suddenly appear behind you. She will come towards you with a dagger in her hand while declaring her definite love towards you, i.e. Grimm.

She will then cut off her long braided hair with the dagger and happily say how she’s going to step aside now. It makes her very sad that she can’t be with Grimm together, but even so, she accepts it and is glad for even meeting him in the first place and spending so much time with him. All that made her truly happy, even though it now came to an end.

Node will send Grimm further through the door in an instant before he can say anything, and then Node will be surrounded by multiple Outer Ones related to the Crawling One. Then Dinah will appear and protect Node, while more Alice copies surround the two of them.

Personality Node is loyal to you, the player, i.e. Grimm. She’ll always be there in the library waiting for you to come back, and it’s in her main interest that you’re safe or doing good. Node will comply with almost anything Grimm is up to, and she will supplement it with her warmth and caretaker-like attitude.

Node greets you for the first time once you enter the Library Dream (she was not here before, but now she is, and she is rather polite at that)
