Episode 11 of "Overlord" delves deeper into the mystery of Shalltear Bloodfallen's condition and Ains Ooal Gown's reaction to it. The episode begins with Ains using an item of godly tier to locate Shalltear after she was neutralized by an unknown power in an earlier episode. In an effort to understand and resolve her situation, Ains is summoned by the adventurer guild, where he claims to have been hunting Shalltear for years. He negotiates for a reward in the form of Orichalcum and rejects the lesser reward of Mithril.
In a dark turn of events, Ains and other adventurers set out to hunt Shalltear. Despite Ains' warning of certain death, the adventurers accompany him, only to be killed by Mare, one of Ains' subordinates. This ruthless act highlights Ains' cold and calculated approach to the situation.
The confrontation with Shalltear happens quickly but is unexpectedly brief. Ains attempts to alter Shalltear's condition using an extremely rare item, a ring that grants wishes. However, the item fails, leaving Shalltear unchanged and forcing Ains to retreat and reconsider his strategy.
This episode introduces Pandora's Actor, a guardian in the form of a shapeshifter who protects Ains' treasury. Initially, he appears as Albedo's creator, causing a brief shock and relief for Ains by suggesting he is not alone in this world. However, this quickly turns out to be a disguise. Ains reflects on his past and realizes that his perspective has changed over time, especially regarding creations like Pandora's Actor.
In a more solemn scene, Ains and Albedo visit a mausoleum within the treasury, where Ains has erected a statue for each of his former comrades from Yggdrasil.
The episode culminates with Ains preparing to face Shalltear. He reveals his plan to Albedo, stating that he will retrieve world-class items for the battle and hinting that he might be the only one capable of standing against Shalltear in her current state. Albedo, deeply concerned for Ains' safety, extracts a promise from him to return unharmed from the battle.
