possible ways to destroy the DO for once and for all

Alex The OUaT Fan·7/28/2015 in General

Just how many ways are there to destroy the DO permantly without becoming the DO yourself? We all know about the squid ink. But I think that I have discovered another way, in 416 Rumple steals a potion from the fairies that can temporairily undo any spell, the reversal potion, Rumple uses it to turn Agust back to wood. Being the DO is a curse, so maybe this can also temporairily be broken and if it is you can kill him without being the DO, even though Rumple said it could undo spells for a brief moment, not curses. I also thought of the true love potion, being the DO makes it hard to truly accept love (At least I think.), so maybe by drinking the true love potion you can brake this curse. Rumple said it was able to brake the sleeping curse, the product of true love was able to break the DC, so maybe it can break the DO's curse. Even though, it is pure darkness we're speaking of, maybe there is something Merlin has to destroy it, maybe the excalibur.

Thoughts??

It seems like the whole universe is ballanced: Good-evil, heroes- villians, dark megic-pure megic ect.(and of course, I'm not talking only about Ouat universe but let's not discuss this subject,too religious...) what if destroying the darkness will result in destroying an equally powerful "good" force? (which maybe the price of destroying it) So, maybe it is best to capture it but not destroy it completely.

Maybe that's why Merlin didn't destroy it before, it would also be an explenation for the name of the second episode.

I wonder what would have happened if they had tried to lock up the Darkness in Pandora's Box. After all, it should be able to contain all the evils in the world.

Yeah, but even the hat, that was created by the most powerful sorcerer ever, couldn't contain it. So I don't think that pandora's box could. But it can contain the DO.

Yep, Merlin should have just tethered the DO and then toss it in Pandora;s box and put it where noone would ever find or get it.

True Love's Kiss can break the Dark One's Curse, but it will have no effect if the Dark One in question likes the power they've been betrothed with and don't want to give it up e.g. Back in Season 1 when Belle and Rumplestltskin shared True Love's Kiss it was capable of breaking the Dark One's Curse, but he chose power over love. In logical terms if the afflicted person wants the power it's no longer considered a Curse. The only real part of being the Dark One that's a Curse is the Dark One's Dagger.

If the Dark One is killed without the Dark One's Dagger, the person in question will expel the power of darkness, with no new Dark One, and the Curse will "pass from this world".

The Dark One cannot die from their heart turning black, but the host it's tethered to can leaving only The Dark One (and nothing of the human host) behind. When the Apprentice extracted the Darkness from Gold's heart and tried to trap it in the hat, once it got loose this allowed it to roam around of its own free will to seek out a new host.

The Darkness is immortal, but OUAT's interpretation of immortal is that one can live forever, but it doesn't mean they cannot die.

IMO the most effective way to get rid of the Dark One's Curse is to kill the current host without using the Dark One's Dagger so the powers of the Dark One will be expelled from this world without anyone else being next in line to inherit it. Another effective but more dangerous method would be available after the hosts heart has turned black, use the Dagger and command the Dark One to cross the Storybrooke town line due to the fact there's no magic beyond that point and due to the host body being dead, the Dark One will die without being stabbed by the Dark One's Dagger.

I thought merlin said that the darkness could be used for good if the right person gets ahold of it. Wouldn't that person become THE LIGHT ONE

But before Hook bled out, Merlin was ready to get rid of the Darkness, which means he probably had a way to destroy it.

Plus its impossible to destroy darkness. The darkness cannot be destroyed as long as there is darkness in people's hearts.

By Darkness it's about the Holy Grail Magic.

Merlin's plan was likely to just absorb the power himself and then kill himself. (Or just use the sword to rid them both of the magic and then do something with the sword. If they knew of the Dark Grail, all they'd have to do is absorb it there.

Magic can't be destroyed, but it surely can be moved where none can reach it.
