This is some of the saddest lore in video game history imo. And I didn't know any of it until over 200+ hours.

Once in a lullaby is the best i listen to it daily 4:04 is the best part

Acrid the best

Poor Acrid, such a good boye

Ah yes. A society where people are judged off the size of their tentacles

75 pt assignment due tmrw? Nah ima watch a 45 minute about the most infuriating game ever.

where are these images from? they go so hard

It's obviously glistening oil. Hail Phyrexia.

Petrichor being the word for the smell of rain is such a fun and thoughtful detail!

Could you make a video on the alpha / xi constructs? I'm really curious where they fit into the lore and why they exist

I have a theory that the void creatures are probably creatures from different planets and then corrupted by the void

dude isn't this thing a liquid

Your videos made this game better to understand plus made it cooler knowing what's going on.

Bruh i didnt even know there was lore in this game, honest thought the items descriptions went on way to long but i guess there is like a whole story i missed 😂

dope

could anyone explain why Mitrhix is scared of Aurelionite though? I accidentally united the two in a boss fight and saw him be scared of the so called Guardian, i guessed it was 'cause Aurelionite was extremely powerful, but if they're the creators of Aurelionite, how could she be more powerful?

mitsiks 31

Nah, that's a servitor from Destiny.

little acid dog

Why it is "she"....?

Were you acting when you laughed when you said "because I'm a moron, that's why"?

Also if yall are worried that this animal can hurt its owner it can with its teeth it has basically no strenght when comparing it to human and is not a ape its a monkey a ape like a chimpanzee or orangutane or gorilla can rip the arms of a adult male with ease especially the chimpanzee and orangutanes are what you get when you give a chimp Weed and a shit ton of edibles cause they smart devious and funny af but they dont go out of there way to harm things and are actually nice excpet for when your a dumbass and try and agro it they wont fight back theyll just grab you and hold onto your arm alot wich can hurt but only really from the grip strenght the only ape to worry about is the chimpanzee since there physcos. Like straight up studys have been made most males of that species straight up are physcos and will gank a random chimp and kill it just for fun and if you think you can take one on in a fight they have the avergae strenght of around 5-8x a adult males strenght they can fist fight mike tyson and have a high chance of winning as they can strenght up bite through your hands and rip them off with ease. Orangutanes are chill though and are actually pacifist from what we saw same with most gorillas especially the biggest one of the group (usally the leader) will actually avoid fights and break them up you just dont mess with them and they dont mess with you chimpanzees will go out of there way to try and merc you gorillas and orangutanes really dont ever go out of there way to kill you and orangutanes just don't kill you.

Is Mithrix mentioned or aluded to in risk of rain 1? I have a strong impression that Mithrix cared for and about his brother (even when plotting his revenge) much mkre than Providenced cared about him. Besides the obvious fact that Providence betrayed him, Mithrix always deemed Providence his equal, his peer, and aspired great things for him. When you kill each one of them, Providence thinks you doomed the planet, while Mithrix thinks about his Brother, and how they got things wrong.

my girlfriend is a gup

Great video, but one issue: the cell number on void locus is nonsense in Roman numerals

they look like servitors

As one of the biggest Void Fiend fans maybe ever I got so hype about my friend sending me this video. Thank you sososososo much for this aughhhh I love video essays I love risk of rain 2 lore I love Void Fiend!!!!!!!!! My critter <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I'm sosososososo happy this was the best possible start to my day I loveeeeeee it <3 <3 <3 <3 Also a very good analysis!!!! But like. You mentioned Void Fiend and acknowledged that the corrupted form is probably the void getting to it that's all I need. Also GUH I loved the reading of the Simulacrum log it fucks me up so bad it's soooo fucked up /vvvvpos

11:39 the seeker from seekers of the storm dlc is also part of the high court

Thanks for your detailed explanation!

and his music was indeed eletrical

I thought that the reason kur-scan tried to pilot the ship was to go to the moon to save Mithrix

The lore behind the void is kinda unsettling ngl

I play this game so differently after watching these videos. I watched a long ass video about the two brothers creating the gold golem but she wasn’t perfect or some shit and she was locked in that world. Now it’a kind of fucked up killing her.

The amount of times those fuckin Grandparents decimated me is incalculable

Ahh, yes, 3 gods vs. funny construction robot with nail gun 😁

Now that is interesting

Even mithrix seems unsure of just how much of his brother is in the false son. It feels that the arrival of the son has had more present tense used when speaking to his brother. Like he speaks to his brother through the son without thinking at times.

bro did not need to roleplay

Poor Mythrix. He learned to control the most basic elements of the universe, and taught them to his brother, with visions of building a paradise together and finding more of their kind. Instead, Providence just became obsessed with soul, brought all these random creatures onto this planet, not even for the sake of the creatures but just so he could have more soul to look at. He loved this stuff more than his own brother, deviating from Mythrix's designs, making something powerful enough to kill them, and then making it uncontrollable. Then, after Mythrix finally created his masterpiece that would let him and his brother explore other worlds together, Providence betrayed him, stranded him on the moon alone, and then went and played god with all of those lower beings he loved more then his brother.

Acrid, his entire lore is "i am death and i wish to be left the fuck alone."

isnt Acrid female?

okay but how come we haven't seen a single aphelian?

Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango Daikozoku

wtf this game has lore i thought you just ran around and killed thing with a distraction in the middle of your screen

Love the video :)

Watching this as someone who just got into the games through the second installment, what a great telling of this games awesome story!!!

Just died to one of these lol
