You can still make Emperor and get tatt'd, but it'll take a little more than just asking. Here's what mine does:

You unleash a blow of true accuracy, striking through Daedelex's defenses!
Daedelex manages to avoid your divine power.
Daedelex steps in quickly to strike you with a quick backfist!
Daedelex's backfist misses you. [0]
Daedelex barely escapes your divine power.
Daedelex deftly avoids your divine power.
You yell 'Maria! Ayudame!'
zone> You feel a deep chill as Kohrzeck calls to the dead.
A pale banshee fades into existence and enters your body.
Your death coil *** DEMOLISHES *** Daedelex! [115]
Your death coil *** DEMOLISHES *** Daedelex! [122]
Your death coil *** DEMOLISHES *** Daedelex! [116]
Your body feels more frail as the banshee leaves you.

Or at least part of what it does.

Zornath's is crazier, imo.
