Hafrigado Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 So what I'm confused about is why Elend can't take control of Koloss without duralumin and making them afraid. Shouldn't he be able to do it with just regular emotional allomancy? I remember at some point Vin found out that the original allomancers could do it and Elend ate the same make-a-mistborn-metal that supposedly gave them allomancy. Plus they talk about how strong he is compared to the recent mistborn. Has he just never tried to do it "by himself"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis he/him Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 If he were focusing on one, he probably wouldn't have a problem. We never see him do that though, he grabs thousands at a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Both him and Vin do take control of single koloss just by using normal emotional Allomancy. They use duralumin when they want to do it large scale, taking control of a big number of koloss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafrigado Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Oh! I forgot that they took control of a couple at a time just to help them scare the rest. Thanks....... Wait so why was Vin surprised when she found out the original allomancers could do it by themselves? I'm fairly certain she "discovered" this after taking over a lot of Koloss with Elend.

Elend might've been able to to it without, but I'm fairly sure she couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking he/him Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 @The One Who Connects I do believe that you are correct. Elend's allomancy was totally untainted and as a result he could take control without any extra help Vin however was simply not that powerful by itself.
