| Conquest | comment |
Conquest (1983) is a Spanish-Italian-Mexican Surreal Horror and Dark Heroic Fantasy Exploitation Film by Lucio Fulci with music by ex-Goblin member Claudio Simonetti. If that sounds absolutely insane to you, it’s because it is.As part of his Rite of Passage the young Illias is sent from his relatively idyllic and civilized homeland to a desolate barbarian marshland. On this quest he is armed only with his Ancestral Weapon, a bow said to be able to shoot arrows of pure sunlight. Illias is eventually joined by the misanthropic warrior Mace, who only has eyes for Illias’ bow. Meanwhile Ocron, the cruel sorceress ruling the lands, has a vision of a faceless man killing her with the very same bow. This sets the gears in motion that will lead to their unavoidable confrontation.Compare and contrast Mario Bava’s Hercules in the Haunted World and Alfonso Brescia’s Iron Warrior. | |

The Blank | |
| Conquest / int_1b5c9c48 | comment |
The Blank: The archer in Ocron’s vision has no face. This is important - she assumes Ilias is the one destined to kill her because he's carrying the bow, but in killing him, she motivates Mace to pick up the bow and finish the job. | |

| Conquest / int_2410cc23 | comment |

| Conquest / int_61996785 | comment |
Sacrificial Lamb: Illias’ love interest, as usual, dies to motivate the hero. More shockingly, Ilias soon follows suit, inspiring Mace to pick up the quest. | |

| Conquest / int_710ae822 | comment |
Butter Face: Ocron proudly shows off her naked body, but there's a good reason why she is always wearing her golden mask. At the climax, Mace breaks Ocron's mask, revealing a hideous zombie-like face. | |

| Conquest / int_99828ce6 | comment |
Nature Hero: Mace somewhat deconstructs this. He apparently refuses to hunt animals himself, feeling more akin to them than to other humans, but he has no qualms about killing a human hunter to steal his prey nor with letting Illias hunt for him. | |

Decoy Protagonist | |
| Conquest / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: Illias checks the boxes of every High Fantasy Hero trope, which lets the viewer assume he's going to be the one to kill Ocron. Unfortunately he never even gets the chance to as he is killed during the third act of the film. Then the focus shifts to the Anti-Hero Mace, who sets out to avenge Illias's death. | |
