Let's face it. An automatic cross bow, a battle chainsaw and a tunneling castle make great steampunk. If Edgar was facing a giant robot or a steam driven dragon, he'd be set up to win. However, he's facing a primal being, the opposite of the God Odin. Surt's not going to be impressed by a few machines. No, he's going to take a hit and then splatter Edgar all over Figaro Desert.
