Скачать или смотреть Illusion of Gaia - Jackal's demise scene

There is a fire trap inside the Pyramid which responds to loud sounds to eliminate grave robbers and Jackal was not aware of it. Thus the melody young Will learnt from his grandma to lift people's spirits becomes Jackal's dirge and a tool to kill.

Prime Quintet. And for a Quintet hero to willingly kill even a villain when there is no other way left is a big deal. Not even Ark tried that against Beruga.
Jackal was not as much of a character as basically Will's fears following him throughout the adventure. In the shadows. Always there. And now they are gone.

If there are two SNES deaths I find disturbing, it is Jackal in Illusion of Gaia and Crocomire in Super Metroid (on top of that one being somewhat graphic).
