I_Am_King_Midas Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Is Hoid immortal or does he just have an incredibly long life span? Do we know if he could never die from age but could die from physical harm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 there is another thread in this regard here http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/23408-nightblood-vs-immortality/ basicaly, we don't know for sure, but the most likely idea is that he does not age at all. as fordieing of physical harm, probably he can, but it woud take much more physical harm than can be reasonably inflicted. I'm reasonably sure that if we could strap him to the case of an atomic bomb and detonate it, it would kill hoid beyond his regenerative capability. Not sure on the effectiveness of anything smaller than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid King Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm too lazy to look up where Brandon said it, but when someone asked what would happen if Hoid's head was cut off, Brandon answered that the healing that Hoid does would allow him to regrow his head.

Spellcaster Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) We dont have shard of adonalsium if we wonted or needed to kill him or just imprison him as how preservation dealt with ruin till vin came to kill him and dont really now much of hoid, but best bet kill kill him could be hemalurgy. Get atium in shape of spear (to get as much of his soul, hopefully getting piece of it that code this healing) in hands of iron inquisitor under direct control of harmony (to have instinctive knowlege of hemalurgic points and precision). Problem is mechanical properties of atium . Its best bet to ge his healing property without guessing what metal to use, but do we have problem as making silver bullets for werewolfs, too soft and easily deformed? Only mention of easly damaged by stomach acid, so mistborn eat it moments before need not still at home before going on assassination knowing it gonna be used i guess if remember correctly. Its used used as spike in lord rulers time to get temporal abilities (seeing future by atium), but it surely different in making spike used on naked, tied target and maybe armored target when it shaped as weapon. It more question if hoid is armored, but even unarmored he has a little hobby of collecting new magical abilities from worlds he visits. Somehow beat him unconscious first i guess. Hoid sad at end of Words of radiance: He looked down as she twisted her Shardblade, rotating the tip, still pointed at him. “I’d be surprised if that little knife of yours poses me any real threat, Kholin. You can keep waving it about if you want, though. Perhaps it makes you feel more important.” And killing method could be needed if well intentioned extremist depending on his goal. Is he said to be important character in sf mistborn 3th trilogy though on what side? And while I am your friend, please understand that our goals do not completely align. You must not trust yourself with me. If I have to watch this world crumble and burn to get what I need, I will do so. With tears, yes, but I would let it happen. Hoid to dalinar, words of radiance, at time writing his top quote on coppermind wiki on his page. Edited February 28, 2015 by Spellcaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
