In these tablets, the gods look for someone to kill who has the blame of killing the bull of heaven. They decide on Enkidu and he becomes very ill. He starts to curse those who brought them to civilization but then realized that because of them he met Gilgamesh and blesses them. Enkidu eventually dies and Gilgamesh is left weeping for him like a woman. This is a big part of the story because it marks this part in human history where the wild part of humanity disappears and essentially "dies" leaving civilization desiring the return of its wild half. And without the wild part, civilization is lost.
For some reason I thought of this scene when I read this. Enjoy the terrible voice acting.
