Ingunn's child was named Halla Theory: clip 2 from mid-fire ritual
[clip 1 | clip 2 | clip 3]
So I kinda realized that the idea that Illtauga / Ingunn's child was named Halla is a theory born from fairly obscure "blink and you miss it" in-game references? So I have three video clips now as evidence.
Clip 1 is from optional, distressing audio you can hear in Freyslaug where a woman calls her baby "Halla" while they are both in active danger from raiders. This audio is only heard if you don't trigger the puzzles prior to searching the buildings. Clip 3 is incoming (ETA: here) and is from the cut scene at the end of this chapter!
This is Clip 2 and occurs midway through the fire ritual when the rock statues begin to crumble through the run. The subtitles very clearly mark out that Illtauga says the name "Halla" as an expression of grief (which was established as a name in Clip 1).
(Side note: this footage is from a Dark Rot Mode run I've been working through in order to help myself with my Reference Notes... I definitely lost a life to get this footage because I got distracted while trying to capture the video clip, haha, but it's fine! I got my trophy last week!!!! Now doing all this has WAY lower stakes for me.)
