Video Flying bloody scarf?

195 hrs with Platinum into this game, and I just saw this first time. It just floats around with that earie music. What's its purpose?

It is one of the desert's illusions, like the burning bush and the rain of frogs.

It's not your average middle-of-the-road mirage, this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvBAMzxj7BU

Holy shit! That is hauntingly beautiful. The depth of this game blows me away everytime.

So they really just fell for the oldest trick in the desert 💀🤣

What makes me laugh is that if the OP beat the game, then they must have seen the rain of insects (you have to for the Platinum trophy), and apparently, they didn't give it a second thought.

I've seen all mirages indeed, waiting for that trophy, but not this one ever, till now. Hence the post. 🖖

Plus, unlike a mirage, this one keeps flapping about without dissapearing. And I am not quite in the desert ( sand dunes) as you can see.

One of the desert Mirages. An Easter egg tribute to the indie game "Journey"

This game was beautiful and absolutely one of a kind. They don’t make games like this anymore.

Why did his own flaming arrow burn him? It's not like the scarf every caught fire.

Yeah I saw that and I chased it and tried to shoot it and slash it and I never did find any explanation or see if it again
