Rule of Rose: Clara

[TheGodOfKhaos]

This was the scariest and most difficult boss in the game for me, because you can't see her when she goes up to the ceiling, and it's hard to know exactly where she's going to fall...

[LadyMurderMaid]

That scream gave me chills o.o

[Sk8terGaMer89]

I never really understood this chapter. One minute it seemed to revolve around Diana, then it was about Mr.Hoffman and Clara.

[IxionVysce]

This isn't as flawed as people make the game out to be. I played it with an emulator and it was fine til the end of the game, save a few crashes... but that's almost expected. Great game, but it does need a movie. But I honestly doubt that it will ever get one. Or we'd have the luck of M. Night Shamalyan getting it.

[nazpcll]

It sounds like we are watching porn on the internet, BECAUSE OF JENNIFER'S BREATH SOUNDS?!?!

[Sephiroth4luvrs]

SLICE HER OPEN AND BURN HER NIPPLES

[LadyMurderMaid]

@Sephiroth4luvrs

Odd. . .but effective.

[fairfaerie]

clara, hoffman, and the maid were all tied up.

16 might be the legal age, but considering how disgusted she seems, it wasnt consensual. a molester could take advantage of a child, their called pedophiles. there is a difference between rape and molestation. if you think clara had an abortion, she was raped, not molested.

she might have killed herself, but she looks bruised. someone would have to have tied her up too. is the maid had saved her, why would she be there?

[ComaLies225]

I never understood why she was a mermaid

[ThirteenthBlessing]

@ComaLies225 thats what hoffman used to call her "his beautiful mermaid"

[OnKneesforJesus]

game would make an incredible film... amazing style and story but gameplay is unplayable.

[Sokulski]

@OnKneesforJesus

Oh man I agree. A great film AND thrilling novel.

[TheLeadingLady3]

are we sure thats not diana and did clara kill herself?

[tobiswife]

@TheLeadingLady3 what I have heard Clara was molested by the old man(I dont remeber his name but it started with an "H')because in england at age 16 thats an legal age to have sex.Clara is 16 so yeah. and Martha got her to safety and or she killed her self.(The 3 cuts on her wrist)but im not sure if this is true or not

[m0nnaly]

:( jeez

[kidrainenfina]

i thought Clara has been rape by their Professor~XD

[eobo1]

@kidrainenfina we all did i still do...

[SymphonicMaiden]

That stupid bitch of a mermaid, she is disgusting!

>.<

[elyonum]

best cutscene in the game (in my opinion xD)

[tobiswife]

i wanna go as clara for halloween XD

[xxxchuchu16xxx]

this is the most creepy part in the whole game, it made me jump up like crazy when i saw that clara had no eyes and AGH! it just made me freak but now that im used to her and the other bosses and imps and whatever...i dont mind it and i love this game and this video xD

[AlmaWasHere]

@xxxchuchu16xxx

Why does she have no eyes! And why is she strung up?

[xxxchuchu16xxx]

@AlmaWasHere cuz, thx to the imps she became one of the bosses, n she is part of the hand made paper picture pic, that jennifer fround in the chapter. i dont fully understand the game tho.. xP

[xxxchuchu16xxx]

@AlmaWasHere sorry meant to say book not pic >.<

[touhou2]

ahahahahahahah x3

[nyuurocks]

Judging by the dark nature of this game,i think clara commited suicide rather then was taken by Martha.

[IKurtC]

hated that fight the first time... ahhh getting stuck in the puke you can't bloody move... and sometimes brown get stuck there too... but it was a fun fight... i loved the plot in this game, wow is been 3 years since i played it i'll play it again

[Alphalobo9876]

I'm always thinking "Really? That old scream with the hardest boss? Why not actually try to scare the crap out of us?"

[boiper]

i know, I kinda wish they actually had like the voice actor for Clara to actually scream with layers of effects to make it creepier and more split sounding... Instead of using that like severely old classic scream sound that i haven't heard for years. xD

[KrakenOfTheSouth]

i always wondered how she had that much puke in her. but me and my sister both suspect that when she goes up onto the ceiling out of sight, she's secretly eating... *munch munch munch* *falls and pukes* "hiya!" *goes back up* *munch munch munch*

[boiper]

Nooo, her puke was similar to the color of Bile. (I've puked it up during a month long sickness of throwing up like 20 times a day, bile is the crap you puke up after you have nothing else.. it's like stomach acid. but then again i MAY be spelling it wrong.) And with Clara's case, a mixture of her morning sickness, her condition she was in, she was most likely puking up a mass amount of bile. Sense i mean, I don't think they had that much food to support her anyway...

[KrakenOfTheSouth]

isnt bile yellow? her puke is green. but i guess yellow is a little close to green, so... lol i was jk anyway

[boiper]

@KrakenOfTheSouth nono, Bile is green, or at least normally. But I believe it can be yellow to. But mine was green. A greenish Yellow.

[KrakenOfTheSouth]

@boiper ok lol lets not get too much into detail... XD jkjk

[boiper]

@KrakenOfTheSouth xD you sure you don't want me to continue and describe it all?

[KrakenOfTheSouth]

@boiper hahaha

[Jade7843498]

O_O oh my god O_O

[SAMxathedisco]

idk about you guys, but that was creepy as fuck. O_O

[athroballs]

WTF is the game about?! it makes no sence!!!>??

[boiper]

Well the game makes sense if you actually read, think, and have played it. :3

[42Unknowns]

hardest boss in the entire game

[KiKiruleofrose]

Poor Clara. I beat this game and rember this part. Oh so sad.

[MajorasFlask]

i always wanted to play this. soon

[NguyenxTurbo]

Clara says more funnier things if you guys watch the walkthrough ,i cried laughing throughout the entire scene. "hiyaaa !!"

[NguyenxTurbo]

watch?v=qFfOcju3VtM

The link above is the chapter to see the full "Little Mermaid - Chapter" The fight scene is near the end. : ) Laugh your asses off all <3

[queenbrooklyn67]

Did they ever exlain how clara died? i think it was sucide?

[snowjay336]

Greg killed her, in the massacre.. or maybe Matha took her when she ran off.. i cant remember which...

[boiper]

I don't remember seeing Claras clothing(on the ground) during the boss fright with "stray dog" and there is some discussion that Martha possibly liked clara, so maybe she had taken her away with her?

[123whee]

Clara 'disappeared' before Stray Dog came to the orphanage. If you look at her arms there are many cuts, some people think she might have committed suicide.

[risefromgrace15]

@snowjay336 Neither. If you look closely at Clara's wrists, they're look like gill shaped cuts, so she probably killed herself after getting fed up with her life so far.

[Yoachan]

anyone else think the scream at the end was pretty generic? xD

I hear that so much. Sounded like te audio sported a different frequency, too.

[whizcuz]

It was a generic scream :D

[Piokruts]

this bitch was hard, kept hitting brown so i had brown sit in a corner and i attacked her with the cleaver

[whizcuz]

Haha, I had to stop playing this game for three months until I could actually kill her.

[SteelUnseelie]

XD LOL I'm sorry, that stupid-sounding scream at the end ruined it for me.

[yunathesummoner90]

in a teory Clara had aborted by Hoffmann,in every scenes where are these two people,Clara is very not happy! she is naked when she is a boss,and she has a lot of cut on her hands. hoffmann,when is a boss ,attacched Jennifer like he wants to rape her...

(sorry for the english...)

[Jennaleetheawsome]

eeeeeeeeeee!

[KrakenOfTheSouth]

well, we found the mermaid.... :S

[Tribune12345]

Hahaha. The sound effects.

[maruchibi88]

i dont understand how people know all this about Clara the only time i ever saw her was in Mr.Hoffman's office when hes touching Diana

then i heard that the mermaid is somehow Clara?

can anyone clear this up for me?

[xrider1215]

Oh shit

[XShadowproductionsX]

Geez thatts kinda creepy

[janeeb]

lol XD

[AnnibaLecter13]

What I don't get, is that when you kill Clara a mermaid toy falls on the bed instead of her. Is that just Jennifer making the situation seem scary since she was probably a kid when this happened?

[MangaEngel]

No, it's kind of a censoration in game. At the end, instead of dead brown is there a broken dog puppet. I think, the producer wanted to make the game even more irritating by showing puppets instead of corpses (the only corpses seen are those of the bird and mad dog and even they are not good to see)

[AnnibaLecter13]

Oh. Thank you for clearing that up :)

[MangaEngel]

Oh yeah, I forgot something else about the puppet o.o

In "Once upon a time" you get to know that Diana wants to be like a mermaid (she takes the doll after the fight and puts it into water), so it could be that the game shows, that Diana wanted to be like Clara. Just my believing, but it could be (because Clara IS the mermaid ;) )

[Riranor]

i think that in the past she found the puppet as a child... and when she was trying to get her memories back sense Clara was one of the adults that survived she went crazy after seeing the dead people and became the boss fight...... after that i think she got her memory back of what really happened... and remember when you fight hoffman how it did show his dead body...

[MangaEngel]

But, as far as I remember from the ending, Clara ran away just like Hoffman, just a little before the massacre. So Clara most seemly never saw the killed childs.

And up till now was no one in the game, no matter if a boss fight or not, REALLY insane. They are weird, cruel and all kind of strange, but all were sane in their own way.

Even Stray Dog was not more brutal and insane then he was BEFORE everything. I still think, that Clara is fine, but Jennifer remembers Clara as the poor mermaid.

[Riranor]

i see your point but i actually noticed she had no eyes... it could be a imp that looks like her and the real one did leave... which if the imps are doing that it explains the bagged heads a little

[MangaEngel]

What bagged heads? xD"

[Riranor]

the children with the bags on their heads... it could be the imps... espicially sense the imps always appear when it happens

[MangaEngel]

Maybe you hadn't realized it, but the imps are the fantasy version of those children ôo

The game shows how Jennifer remembers her childhood. The children with the bags and the imps are the same, they appear, are against her and listen to the command of the aristocrat club.

In the final chapter Jennifer even remembers them at Halloween with those masks and describes them as scary, especially because they had drawn animal heads on their bags (many imps have animal heads). The imps are the childs.

[Toboe1chu1kish]

actually I think she commited suicide. look at the slits in her wrists on the gamespot rule of rose pictures. There is one individual picture of her where you can see them perfeclty. I thought Clara was kind of hard to figure out myself.

[MangaEngel]

Well, if she did, then with a strange timing. Because Jennifer says in the last chapter, that Hoffmann, Clara and that housemaid dissapeared the same day.

BUT one point could be good for your theory:

The housemaid seems to get killed by the children in one scene (with the stairs) and at the end of fighting Hoffmann, the childs drag him away. So they could have killed the three (or just the adults cause Clara is already dead). And remember the graves at Stray Dogs House? Thee are three graves.

[Mallorie6593]

I think she may have had an abortion before her death (if she did indeed die). There's a bloody stain on the table in the infirmary that Clara scrubs over and over and over, and there are bloody tools in the attic.

Maybe Hoffman got her pregnant and then aborted the fetus?

[MangaEngel]

I think so too, because it's very clear that he raped her (the moment, where Jennifer wants to get into that one room and Clara closes the door and screams "NO!"). And the end of the mermaid chapter, he seems to molest that redhaired girl (forgot the name). If she got pregnant, he HAVE to abort it, because there could no other father then him (only Stray Dog comes sometimes over).

[pretty761]

hi MangaEngel, this is pretty761, can i ask where you got that scene where Jennifer tries to enter that room and Clara closes it and screams "NOOO"? Which chapter is that because I really want to know. thank you

[MangaEngel]

If you go to the Sickbay at the beginning of the "Unlucky Clover Field"-Chapter, you have to press X at the drawyer. You will open it, but Clara closes it immedately, standing between you and the drawyer, shaking her head. If you still try to open it, Jennifer herself will not try to open it anymore.

If he got her pregnant and then abortet the child, maybe, just maybe we know where the baby is at the moment...

[wizyoshi]

i dont think the kids killed the adults.i think the "stray dog" killed all the kids and the housmaid the director and the other girl left i think or something iam kinda confused at the moment XD

[MangaEngel]

No, The housemaid got cleary killed by the children.

You see her falling down the stairs and getting pulled up again really early. And in the chapter about the bird you find her bounded, with crayon drawings and woundet. She got definitly killed b those childs (maybe as a present for the princess?). Clara made suicide (you see the wounds at her wrists), Hoffman wanted to run away, what happend to him is never shown (but in the Peter chapter, he also gets draged away by Imps (children).

[Matte0ne]

well, i don't think so, i mean think of it, you can se in the (good ending) that jennifer and wendy are at the same age... so in my eyes, this is all in her head, and the dog was already dead, (the scene when jennifer hit wendy) because she killed her dog, and that was when jennifer was a child... again, this is all in her head, plus the children are dead too, (the stray dog).

sorry if i spelled wrong..

[MangaEngel]

Uhm, sorry, but what got that to do with what I wrote ôo

Of course is Jennifer the same age as Wendy and of course is Brown dead. Jennifer is simply dreaming (or dead and having a near-death-karma-something), so nothing must really happend like we think. But the things Jennifer says in the final chapter are the only true things. There she says, that the adults were gone someday. Maybe just left, maybe got killed. Who knows? Alone the game makers.

[jiruchan0107]

Jennifer fell asleep on a park and dreams about her forgotten past.

[KARILENNE]

That was so not scary.

[hankypanky1111]

It scared me.

[Unpleasent]

XD I agree. She sounded retarded. And they used the most cliche horror scream. The game entirely wasn't scary.

But just because it's not scary, doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.

[DarkArcz]

I reckon its supposed to be a psychological horror game. One that's so friggin' confusing, you can't tell head from tail of it unless you actually played the game (and even then, most people still can't get the full story of it).

[PrincessOfRedRose]

i hate this fuckin bitch!!!She never die!!!

[Ezequielresident]

lol

[CleaveTheDragon]

Jennifer needs to blow her nose or something, because I am sick of hearing her snivel all the time!

[40tifalockheart04]

LOL if theres a tissue in the murdering house

maybe she will XD

[LadyMurderMaid]

@CleaveTheDragon

I thought she was gasping. . .

[0oAngelicLieso0]

Mm, is that by any chance Clara? ._. Gosh, what happened to her?

[DrZann]

ROR is the creepiest game in awhie, but the story is confusing! I mean the the cusctenes go from the airship to the mansion, I have no idea what part the airship plays in this plot, how you fight Hoffman earlier yet he returns good as new later... WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?

[00Rayne]

ok the sound scares but...who the hell is she?

[HarlequinX3lolz]

1) Wtf is with her face?

2) How is she a mermaid?

3) How does she attack...Water Balloons??

4) She is a dumb bitch.

[Magdaleina]

1) It's a survival horror game. Nuff said.

2) It's a grotesque parody on the fiji mermaid -- used in old sideshows.

3) Vomit, actually.

4) Probably.

[LGandBLOODS]

Shit it takes so long to kill this bitch. I kinda gave up on the game, I gotta go and try again.

[KannaBysmarck]

jijiji, I'll tell you, well, Clara is one of the biggest badest of them all, well, actually even Stray Dog is a lot nicer, wanna bet???, okay, wanna kill her???, is as easy as it says, take the weapon you found here, yep, the meat knife "cuts trough bone" is a +15 atk, Clara is invencible each hit she takes, so just land a cut everytime she lands and just one, run if she begins to cry/vomit and remain in the center to see her,she's tough but you can actually win without being hit,just follow her

[LGandBLOODS]

Thanks, well I'm playing another game at the moment but I have to get back to this game some time. I don't know if I was using the meat knife, maybe I wasn't and that's what amde it hard.

[Malon50001]

Oh yes almost forgot when do you accutly have to fight her?

[Malon50001]

This fight is annoying as all get out I havnt gotten to it but I watched my friend and she makes it look easy... real easy... The tick is to freakin mute the tv and then run around like U have an aligator on crack try to get u and whenever U see a opening (which is precticly never) HIT HER!!!

[KannaBysmarck]

come on, mute the TV???, then how the hell will you know when she bungee jums toward you, she even anounces when she's going to use her acid attack with a long and I mean long battle cry...the answer in this battle is a fast weapon "Ice Pick" or a strong one "Meat Knife"

[Malon50001]

watch brown were he looks and her shadow

[0o0CakeChan0o0]

Once you get the Knight Rapier you can beat her in 6 strikes. :]]

It took me over 20 minuets to beat her without a weapon.. Poor Clara. xD

[HogySo1]

strongest boss in the game and I did everything in that game

[kingdomheartsrulez15]

i got stuck in the two goats thinges theyre so annoying with the scissors and the fork its so hard and annoying

[grimmpoe]

Oh god, just WATCHING my friend try and fight that fish bitch was annoying!!

I just don't understand why she's a mermaid, then later she's all normal again...

[Yuripaine]

that boss !!!!! the worst ever !!! take me several time before beating the crap out of it !!! The sound just horrible!!! lol I love this game so munch!

[Lunarflowers102]

lol

[ShanyraLorenz]

I hate this boss T_T

[shinguden]

HIYAAA~ XD

[sailoryaoimoon]

This boss fight annoyed the crap out of me.
