10 Weak Video Game Characters That Are Secretly Overpowered

The world of Albion is a weird mix between science fiction and fantasy. In the game, you play as a spacefaring adventurer exploring a planet full of fantastical creatures with magical abilities. It's a truly bizarre experience, filled with bizarre characters like the mysterious Mellthas.

Mellthas is a deaf-mute Celtic druid who can only communicate with his friend Sira, an alien living on Albion. What is a Celtic druid doing on an alien planet in outer space? Good question. Also, don't question it.

Because of his lack of physical power and combat spells, Mellthas is objectively one of the weakest characters in the game. He's only good as a support unit, and even then, his druid abilities are more situational than extremely useful.

It all changes, however, once Mellthas learns how to cast the Demon Exodus spell.

Yes, if you don't treat Mellthas as just an annoying tagalong for Sira, Mellthas can actually learn a spell that allows him to instantly kill and destroy any non-human creatures. This includes some of the late-game bosses as well as a myriad of annoying enemies that you come across outside of towns.

After all, it's a well-known fact that ancient druidic rituals are lethal to alien lifeforms.
