6 Cults in No Man's Sky | Creepy Stories and Weird Lore from the Edge of Space!

[@TCO_404]

These kinds of videos are why we need an ingame lore journal. It's honestly the main addition I'm still missing. 😁

[@Kanaju]

True! Who knows, we may just be getting one soon. 😉 Thanks for watching!

[@theLongPigChef]

Oh man, that would be cool. I have a hard time keeping everything that I hear straight, sometimes.

[@Rai.Rai22]

@thelongpigchef4096 we have one now actually!

[@JeremyDeere]

Yes please!

[@WEAREALLJUSTMEAT]

Yeah you'd think the in-game log would track lore entries

[@axelthegreat9]

I personally love the voice of freedom. Rage against the machine, literally in this case.

[@neowolf09]

I agree. I have a base on a sentinel heavy planet where they attack on site I named "behind enemy lines"

[@7bup425]

I oy recently found a space station that has the voice of freedom... it was... odd...

[@eternaldarkness3139]

"I was being ground up inside a Worms gizzard this morning, and it got me thinking..."-Prof. Cynical's final episode

[@Coinz8]

LMMFAO!

[@stephen_in_space174]

This was cool! On a frigate expedition (balanced if I remember correctly) my fleet encountered a "Vy'keen Death Cult", the only other description in the sitrep was "We granted their wishes" or something similar. I'd never seen this before and found it equally awesome and creepy!

[@neowolf09]

They wanted to die, and your crew granted their wish lmao. It's a joke. A creepy one tho. I love that they added that in.

[@the_blue_jay_raptor]

My fleet might've encountered the gek last spawns because of the highlighted text saying "THE FIRST SPAWN SHALL RISE AGAIN"

[@VJspoonbender]

Kanaju's editing and voice work is first class in this genre. Great work.

[@Kanaju]

🙏🙏🙏

[@AnarchoJosh]

I got a soft spot for the worm cult because of the expedition. But I gotta pick The Voice of Freedom. Fight god? Yes please. That sounds rad.

[@itol2398]

I'm not sure how much there is to glean from it, but I think a video on the glitch worlds could be cool. They're quite infamous.

[@stuff4035]

Very well made, would like more lore videos, makes learning about the game's story more interesting

[@Kanaju]

Thanks! I have at least a couple more planned for the season. We'll see if 4.0 interferes though!

[@claynorwood9723]

Another great vid Kanaju. Was thinking about the whole "Bane of the Atlas" thing...what if the worm that we see in NMS is a visual representation of a literal worm-type computer virus? I have 0 lore to back this up, but it would do a little work in unifying Waking Titan with the rest of NMS.

[@nolopada]

Imagining the digestion process of those sandworms is nightmare fuel. Reminds me of a certain scene from the movie NOPE. If you know you know

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

Gotta love how the title of that movie already tells you not to watch it

[@nolopada]

@@eeveeofalltrades4780 I personally loved the movie I haven’t been mortified for my life in a scary movie in a while and I think it was pretty unique 😂

[@Kanaju]

Oh I know. It was a pretty good watch!

[@danielwalker1589]

This was awesome. Thanks for another great video Kanaju!

[@Kanaju]

Thanks for watching, friend! 🙏

[@sharkbait8396]

I am obsessed with these lore videos. So much I didn’t know because I was more focused on other things

[@callsign_scooter9602]

After finishing the main story of NMS FINALLY! This video made me want to slow down and actually read everything, I knew there was lore in the NMS universe but I had no idea the lore would be so....impactful. After this video I don't think I can play it the same, it feels.....different now.

[@Agge1]

Yoo even more! I love this type! ❤

[@Martin_Stingers]

Although, lore-wise and such, The Last Spawn seems to be very threatening and frightening, but if we talk gameplay-wise, well... Let's just say that my mega field of gas extractors, being on top of each other, hallmarks of solar panels, labyrinth-like base with S-rank on weapons, ships and freighter. Sentinel-upgraded minotaur and a sentient glowing football is gonna be what greets them. Call the ambulance, but not for me, I also got several defense chip with me in a heavily sentinel activity planet. All of this combined, my god, they ever come through a portal or ships and freighters, they have a hell of a party ahead. I can imagine my character just saying "Get off my system, ya geks!".

[@the_blue_jay_raptor]

I want the last spawn to be added as postgame content.

[@Fenyxclips]

As someone who feels bound to aid The Atlas and find enjoyment in fighting Sentinels with their salvaged equipment, it can be fun going to dissonance planets and just fighting every corrupted sentinel I see.Kind of just making sure things stay peaceful while purging the corrupted to shut them down. Even if they don't stop appearing.

[@neowolf09]

I'm proud to be a "not" member of the voice of freedom too. Love the shroud of freedom. Best cosmetic, and goes perfect with capes.

[@BLUE48552]

I once heard of a 'cult of the moon' from my settlement, they also mention the cult of the worm so I am pretty confident it exists.

[@liberteus]

Thanks for making these videos @kanaju! Really enjoy them, always learn something even though I played thousands of hours! Some day, would you take a look at mods? I know it's a niche topic so it's your call :) Thanks!

[@Kanaju]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching. And I wouldn't mind a video on mods, but being a console player I wouldn't be able to test any of them. lol I'll get a gaming PC eventually, and then all bets are off!

[@codelotus6500]

So, if the worms are some manifestations and messengers from the Atlas, and the different abyssal creatures are those from the Abyss, can we considerate the planets that have oceans as battlefields beteween the Atlas and the Abyss (moreover if these planets have heavy sane sentinel and corrupted sentinel activity)

[@melechgadol]

you need more subs dude you deserve more stay on the grind brother

[@BMW-sd6nn]

Hey man great content. Been watching all your nms content.

[@lonewulfmo9128]

Great job with this, very appreciated from a fellow hard-core nms fan.

[@HunterDrone]

You missed a minor detail/possible interpertation with the voice of freedom, the way some of the dialogue is phrased its possible that they haven't mistaken abyss for atlas, but rather are aware of both but believe the two to be one in the same.

[@Kanaju]

That's a good thing to consider. Lately I've been thinking about how the Abyss and the Atlas are quite similar in some ways and I had a thought. I wonder if the crimson orb described in the abandoned building logs is actually the Abyss. The same with the crimson eye from the old narrative weekend missions. The imagery evokes the Atlas, but the circumstances are more sinister and dark. So perhaps the Abyss also manifests as a crimson orb in some cases, like a false god, taking the place of the Atlas. I like your theory. Thanks for sharing!

[@JamesMadisonsSpiritAnimal]

Yes make desert worm plants that only enter and exit the plant through resource nodes. These nodes would be called a "spice blow" and it would have an animation where it spewed spice dust around it. You could mine it and use it to add an extra health upgrade or perhaps make you ninites.

[@MrBaverbo]

No mans sky is the only game i know of with fun, inspiring and family-friendly gameplay and fucking disturbing lore

[@void_bound]

still waiting for a customization with tentacles for the player character, I am a big big fan of the lovecraftian mythos, and I play no man's sky with a headcanon of there being cosmic horror. one might say I read too much into it, but I believe that the living ships and anomoly planets with living ship like plants represent no man's sky's version of eldritch beings, which brings me great joy when playing the game

[@ItsJavaJawa]

Ironically before I read this, I got a death quote from Call Of Cthulhu after I died from a ship fight "We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

[@rayblais9222]

Great job, well produced.

[@beedeebee13]

I found a Titan Worm Planet that has spawning nests all over the planet, when a freak weather event happens, the nests erupt with 5 or 6 worms popping out of the ground and you can kill them. If you do the insects will also pop out of the ground and attack you. I built a base there to farm dissonance drill things. So sentinels chase me too.

[@onemanwolfpack3386]

Strange you said that I am setting base on a Desert planet with frequent wind storms and wind gales like crazy. Right before you said this I called this planet Titan.😬😐

[@zoltraxnx6440]

I was not expecting today to be the day I hear someone describe what its like to be eaten by a titan worm no idea how I missed that in the expedition

[@IKFKSwitch]

I created a base which may actually house the seventh. Nothing to worry about. Something... happened. Can't find any of em.

[@neowolf09]

I would love a deep dive full length video of all the lore 😁😇

[@Kanaju]

Haha it would be several hours long. There are so many interconnected stories and characters that I struggle to find the best way of structuring the content. I do plan to make more lore videos in the future though! Thanks for commenting.

[@sofaking1627]

As a Dune fanboy, definitely gotta go with the worm cult as my favorite. Gonna go earn that cape now

[@Kucoz]

I also wear the shroud of freedom. its dope as fuck. Id love a whole video on ANY of these cults

[@Kanaju]

It is dope af. And I almost made this whole video on the worm cult, which is why that section is so long, but I couldn't help wanting to talk about the rest of them. I might revisit a couple in the future in more detail though! Thanks for watching!

[@Game-iz7yd]

Once I got into the mouth of a worm, it was unexpected, I was scared (of course, he just walked right through me or I walked through him) But let's assume that I believed in this religion : D

[@freddyyy2go683]

i love your videos♥

[@mercurya5165]

huh! that part where they drink the water is also mentioned in a crashed freighter log

[@naksys]

I'd love the portal code to the corrupted monolith. That would be cool to visit

[@barbblais2302]

I love these lore videos

[@daveworkman2013]

Don’t drink the water….or the Kool-aid

[@ObamaPrism567]

2:22 Was this a mod or can you actually adopt those things?

[@Kanaju]

They were a reward for Expedition 4: Emergence. You might still be able to get an egg from another player though.

[@ObamaPrism567]

@@Kanaju Ah looks like it's time to go player hunting

[@asterodea3532]

I love the creepy Lore of this game

[@Kanaju]

Same. It makes the remote parts of the universe feel extra mysterious. Thanks for watching!

[@CoasterTime704]

The vykeen just saw sand worms and said “we could make a religion out of this”

[@abdallahmazin7115]

How did you get this cool worm pet? I never managed to know how hehe 😅

[@samuelgutierrez1043]

It's a reward of Expedition 4 and 12

[@thomasvlekke5365]

I can get behind the cult of the worm

[@LemonArbor]

What is the background music used in this video?

[@Kanaju]

Void Glider and Driftmaster by Shane Ivers. I list music tracks at the bottom of the video description. Thanks for watching!

[@jaylegoninjago5615]

Hmmm cults. Interesting

[@sentinelhunterkingpandakun2318]

The voice of freedom: fight the atlas and sentinels me:yes plz

[@permeus2nd]

0:39 ok 1 that face is horrific but 2 how would it eat?

[@shawncollier571]

Hey Big K would it be possible for you at your own convince build something in my created world? I have decided I was going to showcase some of KZbins biggest names in a world where you can chill out play with friends and build. I will name that planet after you. My long-term goal is to have a build from every NMS youtuber I can, I want you to be the 1st, it would be a place for your fans to meet up and do whatever? I know creative worlds tend to make players run away but it's just a request. Thank you Shawn W. Collier US Marine Corps RET 1989 - 2019

[@Kanaju]

I'm honored, Shawn. However, I'm sorry to say that I don't have the time to spare at present to commit to a build. In fact, I'm in the process of letting clients go over the next couple of months in order to free up my schedule. I'm hoping to bring everything into balance (design work and KZbin) by the beginning of next year. I can't even play No Man's Sky on a consistent basis outside of recording footage at the moment. I do wish you luck on your endeavor though. I know there are plenty of build-focused NMS KZbinrs who might be able to participate. Perhaps I can contribute sometime next year when my schedule evens out. It would be good to build something for the community. Learning from Sean Murray though, I can't make any promises. Thanks again for the offer. I genuinely am honored that you thought of me first. Best wishes, Kanaju

[@stuff4035]

S-S-SIX?!?

[@mapleperson]

I don't know how to put the shroud of freedom, can someone help me ?

[@justjohn1461]

Fine, I guess I'll bring my cult Else were then...good day to you my good sir 🧐 (Jk love your content Eh)

[@eagleeye5397]

This is all in the game? Is it in the main game or expeditions? I wish they would put some effort into making the lore of the game more attractive. It is so boring just reading print. Especially if it is not clear what is happening, who is speaking. Some type of comic cut scene would be great. Thanks for the effort put in to pull this together.

[@B00XWall]

People of NMS I’m getting it was it a good choice?

[@grahametzel3447]

Korvax prime is the Abyss. Just so you know.

[@GentleBones1]

I gotta know how to get that flying worm pet.

[@futavadumnezo]

PLEASE MAKE LORE VIDEOS!

[@Pastaman7]

wait but, how do you join the worm cult

[@s24261]

Dude...you are Hello games next lore director...

[@arty217]

What about the Leviathan cult

[@corm7538]

You forgot to talk about "The Cult of BOB"...their leader is a traveler named Bob Bob Bob who is said to be a holy man b/c all three of his names first middle and last are all Bob which means his name can be pronounced the same forward or backward which is the soul reason his followers believe him to be the High Holy BOB who will save them all from 16...kzzzkt kzzzktt

[@ragadropenger8623]

You forgot the brotherhood of gek

[@meridian6042]

but if you drink the water then you'll float too

[@Kanaju]

😳

[@russianoftheinternet8907]

why be apart of a cult when you can be a fuel rat board a freighter, fuel the galaxy

[@ascspeedywalker4778]

The shroud of freedom is a nice helmet I'll tell you that much

[@markop.1994]

BWAHAHA Heh youre a funny guy

[@Tayrwhit04]

I can give you a player cult that I’m the leader of,though I prefer you to not call it a cult. We are the Ashed Assassins,conquerors of systems. We are mainly present in the outer regions of the Euclid Galaxy in an unknown sector,with unknown star systems named and discovered by us(I know for sure it’s at least a 150 from just me alone). If you have seen a system that starts with “[ASH]” consider yourself lucky as out of millions of star systems you landed in ours,and out of millions of star systems NMS featured a weekend mission in one of our systems. Anyway, we are now expanding into other galaxies as I’m satisfied with Euclid’s success,however I want to get closer to the cores of galaxies for more recognition. I have successfully done this in 15 galaxies so far,including the famous Essintaine galaxy(I think). I establish a base in a planetary Archive on a lush planet(or exotic/mega exotic regular base) in each galaxy. I’m doing this until the 255th galaxy,to establish galactic presence. If anyone is interested,friend me on Ps5 yt991980. For now we are a cult,but we will later be an empire(think of the Galactic Empire of Star Wars. That’s us basically :) ).

[@SurvivenTerry]

You have angered the cult of the little squeeking people! Squeek squeek! We are telling our moms! Lol jk jk
