Tower of God Season 2 Episode 8 Opening Events: Chatbot Emile Makes Her Debut as Baam’s Team Continues Their Climb

The eighth episode of Tower of God season 2 opens with the debut of chatbot Emil/Emile, created by Acorn Workshop, which proves to be a significant event in the plot. Later on, Lero Ro inquires with Emile about the whereabouts of Wolhaiksong, to which she discloses that it is situated in the forest on the 77th Floor.

Miseng is also seen interacting with Emile, who inquires about love before later asking Endorsi the same question. The focus then shifts to Khun’s group as they take the Regular test. Dan asks Emile about the enemies’ whereabouts, but the response only leads to a dead end, leaving Ran feeling frustrated. The next scene reveals Emile in a dark and eerie setting.

The scene then shifts to Wangnan’s team at a different Regular test site, where Miseng also turns to Emile for advice. Although Wangnan is doubtful about relying on a chatbot, Akraptor backs Miseng’s decision.

The enemy party interrupts their conversation. However, Miseng, Goseng, Akraptor, Kang, Prince, and Yihwa’s group effortlessly handles four enemies while the two stronger enemies target Wangnan instead of falling for their bait. Baam quickly rushes to Wangnan’s aid.

In the eighth episode of Tower of God season 2, Khun orders Novick to find their adversaries. Novick acknowledges the difficulty posed by their enemies’ skill in underground navigation. Meanwhile, Ran directs his frustration towards Dan for making a mistake. As the tension between them escalates, a mole-like figure, their enemy, suddenly appears from a tunnel.

The foe is taken aback to discover them there, questioning how they were able to anticipate his departure location. Dan attempts to rationalize his decision, but Ran brushes it off as pure coincidence. As they get ready to strike, the accomplice of the spy, Jaaskel, emerges. Ran confronts both adversaries, giving Dan the chance to flee.

Despite this, Dan makes his way to the enemy’s base thanks to the mole’s tunnel leading him directly there. Ran swiftly defeats Jaaskel with one strike, while Dan’s speed allows him to easily disable the enemy’s cannons. As a result, Khun’s team emerges victorious.

Following the incident, Khun reprimands Dan for blindly following the chatbot’s suggestions without discussing with the team beforehand. He emphasizes that this impulsive decision could have jeopardized their chances of winning. Despite their fortunate win, Dan acknowledges his error and entrusts Khun with his phone, concerned that he might repeat the same mistake in the future.

After exiting the room, Dan meets Rachel in the hallway. She praises him for being the quickest member of their team and attributes their victory to his speed. Although Dan acknowledges his mistake, Rachel attempts to gain his sympathy but ultimately leaves without giving any further clarification.

The focus of Tower of God season 2 episode 8 then shifts to Wangnan as he is chased by two foes, Quaetro and Chang. While he almost gains the advantage over Quaetro, Chang appears and steals his key just as he is about to secure their triumph. This leads to a short yet comical interaction between Wangnan and Quaetro.

Just as the enemy is about to deliver the last strike, Baam appears and shields Wangnan, saving him from harm. Quaetro retaliates with his three baangs, but Baam effortlessly overcomes him by using five baangs. As the rest of their group joins them, Wangnan proudly taunts their opponents, praising Baam’s incredible strength.

Although Chang returns the key and accepts his defeat, he still tries to provoke Baam into a duel in hopes of gaining the upper hand. However, Baam remains composed and chooses to ignore the challenge. On the other hand, Wangnan becomes agitated by Chang’s taunts, but Akraptor intervenes and advises him to stay calm and not be lured into unnecessary provocation.

Despite Baam’s team achieving victory in the final scenes of Tower of God season 2 episode 8, Wangnan is left feeling disappointed with their meager reward of dried cuttlefish. As the team takes a break and unwinds, Akraptor reminds them that they have been tirelessly scaling the Tower for the past two years. He suggests they take some time to relax and recharge before continuing their journey.

Despite Wangnan’s concerns about the upcoming 30th Floor Workshop Battle being just two months away, he brings it up and urges the team to reach it first in hopes of obtaining valuable loot. He promises that they can rest afterward, and although Kang appears skeptical, the rest of the team agrees to his plan.

Meanwhile, Khun looks after Rachel and then notices Dan’s phone. He becomes curious and asks Emile about the whereabouts of the 25th Baam. To his surprise, Emile confirms that he is still alive. The focus then shifts to Emile, who is approached by a mysterious ‘Traveler’ who promises to meet her soon. The ‘Traveler’ expresses his belief that Emile is a real person and declares his love for her.

In the episode’s unsettling conclusion, Emile, a girl attached to multiple cables in a tub, shares her desire to one day become human. As her original body screams out, “You’ll never be human,”the viewer is left with a sense of impending doom.
