Default Konstatines stigmata.

If his Stigmata is fake, why does it "Conveniently" start bleeding when he prays in that one scene?

My only, rather weak explanation is that the wounds reopened due to how hard he was pressing on them as he prayed. He had his hands very tightly clenched together.

It's not his stigmata is fake he believe it was god who make him like that but in truth it's Anna who have mutilled him as he was a child.

That's what makes them fake, because Ana caused the wounds. Konstantin just believes God marked him (which would make them real).

Was a thread for this necessary? Could have write it in General Chat.

This stigmata is the worst thing in the story. It means nothing to the story.

First: Ana leaves the recording where she talks about how she carved the marks in Konstantine hands for anyone to find.
Second: I the player have to come up with an explanation on how she did the stigmata in his both hands without him waking up and see her. Maybe she drugged him, carved the marks and after the drug effect was gone he wake up from the pain.

His "stigmata" was fake. In the documents of Rise you find out Ana was the one who carved those into hands when he was little, and I think they were living in an catholic orphanage if I'm not mistaken . She then convinced him it was God at a young age.

This was such a weak plot device. They did not expand on it one bit. Maybe Ana carved his hands when they were children.. But this doesn't explain how they would start bleeding randomly.

Maybe that wasn’t the first time he or someone else, Ana. has pressed them. He kind of applied a lot of pressure to them.

Considering it's been 30-50 years since Ana maimed him, that's a long time for wounds to remain open with no infection. He'd likelier be running around with stumps for arms.

Unless she's drugging him every few days and re-stabbing him. Which would be exceptionally odd to pull off for such a long time with no concerns - for his health or his suspicions.

It's just a poorly implemented plot point that lacked any point at all.
