Tigtone recounts to Helpy the story of how he slayed those Elemental Kings to steal their essences and unlock the door of a mysterious archway. However, what Tigtone and Helpy discover in the archway may not be pretty.
  • Bait-and-Switch: Tigtone makes a Rousing Speech of how no one should see the visions within the archway... FOR FREE! Cut to Tigtone and Helpy profiting off the archway as the clueless peasants of Propecia give their money away to witness the horror for themselves.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Tigtone and Help become traumatized and remain catatonic for days after experiencing the incomprehensible horrors of the archway. Though they find their spirits lifted once they realize that they can charge people to subject themselves to the same horrors, meaning they at least gained something by the end.
  • Cosmic Horror Reveal: Tigtone (and later Helpy) suffer horrible Mind Rape visions within the archway that causes them to not move or speak in pure horror for several days. After recovering, Tigtone describes what they saw was "pure, unknowable, infinite, cosmic terror."
    • The reveal of the archway is so reality-breakingly terrifying that the show temporarily loses its forced wide-screen display.
  • Left Hanging: In-Universe. Despite gathering all the essences to open the archway long before having met Helpy, Tigtone admits to have never really gotten around to do it. So he and Helpy decide go back and finally finish his long-unfinished quest.
  • Self-Harm: The key to getting the Pain King's essence. Tigtone had to brutally punch the stone door of the archway repeatedly to the point of his hands breaking until the Pain King was finally satisfied.
  • Vignette Episode: The majority of the episode is a series of short stories of how Tigtone defeated each Elemental King. Loosely connected on how he needs all their essences to unlock the archway.
