- —Eldest One speech, Etrian Odyssey III
Progenitor (父にして母なる座) is one of the three possible final bosses on Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City. It's fought on B16F (A blowing, bladed wind) and is the hardest of the game's final bosses, and possibly, the hardest final boss in the series. In order to face it, you must follow the Eldest One Route.
Story[]
The feeling of guilt of what he had done was consuming the Eldest One, holding his powers at the bay, and stopping his invasion on Armoroad. It decided to redeem its past mistakes with Gutrune, handing her the Porcelain Offering, thus preventing the blood of the Deep Ones transforming her into a monster, and also stopping the fight with her brother. By having no restraints, the Eldest One finally was able to restore its power, escape its prison, and returning to its true form, as the great father and mother of the Deep Ones. The only thing standing in his way of Armoroad's domination now was the very explorers that helped them in achieving this goal. Knowing that they would come to settle things, they simply sat in their room in the Abyssal Shrine. As soon as they found their hall, they finally assumed their real form, the Progenitor, and engaged them in the final battle, to decide the fate of mankind.
