Slime Rancher 2: The Story Explained

[@Alidove_]

Thanks for your patience on this one, friends. Hope it helps!

[@skistorm739]

What if alter version was created? Two versions in the same timeline

[@rockinggamerdude]

I’m only a minute into the video and I’ve only read a few of the drones. observing the land and one of the drones stating confirmed about geological phenomenon have happened similar to tectonic plates. since it most shift faster than Ruth tectonic, please and normal earth day. if the planet does shift that fast, what if it’s sliding on giant slime.

[@Oakley67]

I still want more of Casey’s story even tho it’s unlikely because of the ending of the last game

[@astrunkman6988]

Yeah, does anyone seriously think Bea and Casey just stop talking? They would chat, and talk to each other through the message system thing

[@JupiterxBlues]

My theory is that it's Hobson. The reason being is that he and B are the only known 2 who seen the portal. Second, Thora said that Hobson said it was functional the last time he saw it. But after all this talk about "two paths", I think Hobson used the portal and somehow regretted it. Then he came back and destroyed the portal and lived his life with Thora and told her he didn't use it but evidence is littered around. Edit: In addition, Thora seems a bit old to have children. Not that it isnt possible, just unlikely she had a child at her age.

[@alex.g7317]

That’s a good theory, A GAME THEORY!

[@pico1201]

If you notice the pattern of every character making an important discovery to piece out the story (Viktor saying whoever did everything is human, mochi that they're from the future, and ogdo that they messed up the island) except seemingly Thora, who talks about she and Hobson having a child, that child being important to the rest of the story would complete the pattern

[@mrlampy]

I see “Bob” has also now befriended some quantum slimes, I don’t know if this poses any significance but they sure are there

[@kingstrojek9937]

We never did get a bob expansion update in the first game

[@pico1201]

Theres a couple drones you didnt mention that talk about a company or corporation being there with the writer of the logs, and them being "the money people instead of the engineers" so the accident that messed up the isles was definitely caused by corporate greed instead of a personal decision of whoever left the drones

[@mrfutrzaczek9127]

I hope this is about 7Zee corp. That would be a nice twist for Bea.

[@frogchamp.]

Slime Rancher movie blurb pontentially supports this

[@Profile3918]

Meaning that our friend at the primordial ranch was correct. This means that whoever did this is trying to censor it, meaning it’s a big corporation.

[@MicroThe1]

Honestly this is a very different environment than the first game, ive actually found myself incredibly paranoid at times, even if things are almost just as cutesy as the first game. Somethings going on here...

[@mm2_Racoon]

@watersquid8376 I strangely find it the opposite, the ember valley is unsettling for me, especially in the mountains. The starlight strands feels comforting and peaceful compared ember valley. Also I find the sound that happens when you teleport to ember valley terrifying.

[@beelikesbirds]

First of all, this video and the one about the first game's story explained and put together all of the story's elements very well! Second, I really like the theory with Thora and Hobson's kid, but my biggest issue is all the talk about not following their parents legacy/disappointing their parents. If Thora and Hobson are great adventurers, then surely going out onto the Far, Far Range would only reinforce that legacy more? It's not really "trying to escape their family history" if they're following in their parents' footsteps. Surely Hobson and Thora wouldn't be disappointed if their kid wanted to go explore and see the world like they did. I do like it a lot better than the future Bea theory though. idk, i don't really see how else Thora and Hobson would fit into the rest of the story otherwise, so we'll see

[@Alidove_]

That's a really interesting take! I read it more as "I'm scared I won't be as great as they were" instead of "I want to do different things". I guess time will tell!

[@ll3ifost485]

Ok, i'm a Spanish Speaker but i need write this. Está Bien, el juego habla sobre esta mujer que viajó a la isla arcoiris para desentrañar sus secretos. Independientemente de quien sea ella sabemos que el Laberinto Gris tuvo algo que ver en esto. De hecho, creo que se creó una paradoja temporal en la historia que es muy importante. Verás, en el Primer juego existen tecnologías antiguas como puertas y llaves, además de estatuas que necesitan plorts para activarse. Sin embargo, toda la tecnología está Inactiva y nosotros debemos restablecerla. Esto no tiene sentido, ya que si Hobson ya ha pasado por la Pradera antes sin ningún problema, entonces significa que debió él activar todo u otra persona que haya explorado el mundo primero, como el que creó la Slimepedia por ejemplo. Además, es raro porque Hobson da en sus consejos datos de la tecnología del lugar, pero como si estuviera activa, lo cual explica por qué pensaban que el portal del Desierto estaba abierto, porque aparentemente no existe ninguna forma de desactivar todo, ¿O tal vez si?. Mi teoría dice que realmente La chica de las notas entró al laberinto, como sabemos gracias a sus archivos, sin embargo el lugar parece una base alienígena, un lugar cómo las Ruinas Antiguas o el Desierto de Cristal, lleno de edificios, caminos y tecnología, casi como una Ciudad. Si esto es una ciudad, pues ahora todo tiene sentido. La Luz que sale del laberinto en el Starlight Strand es la causante de todo, cómo sabemos, pero ella simplemente lo empeoró más cuando tocó algo que no debía dentro de las ruinas. Todas las notas apuntan a que ella hizo algo adentro que reinició el sistema, seguramente haciendo que toda la tecnología del planeta se apagase y a la vez reiniciando lo que genera esa luz. Al parecer fue muy fuerte, tan fuerte que se sintió en toda la isla, despedazando el portal lleno de arena y polvo en el desierto, así cómo también todas las puertas, portales y estatuas que existían. Afectó su Conservatorio, quedó destruido y todo por su culpa. Tuvo que remediar las cosas, tuvo que irse de nuevo para adentrarse lo más posible y detener todo, pero no ha vuelto. Las notas siempre hablan como que ella se fue recientemente y no sabe si volverá, dando a entender que está en lo más profundo de la isla, tratando de encontrarse a si misma. Esto hace que ,al viajar al pasado en el caso de que haya sido El hijo de Thora y Hobson o Beatrix del futuro, ella misma haya puesto sus propias barreras en realidad, y , para hacer que el ciclo vuelva, contacta con nosotros debido a que sabe de nuestro pasado y como afectó su influencia en nosotros. De hecho, debió haberlo causado más de una vez ya que realmente todo está desactivado, incluso los portales de Rainbow Fields que unen las islas, lo cual es raro debido a que debió usarlos para volver al laberinto, aunque tal vez el barco la ayudó en eso y simplemente se ahorró otro posible accidente.

[@pierresamain5933]

Damn I don't know why no one liked your comment I love your theory that exactly what I was thinking I'm so impatient to discover what it all means 😁

[@Fennecloaf]

I love the theory ! Tho I really wanna know about the ancient , perhaps civilization that lived here . To create something like literal portals , holy water and many more things may imply that these creatures knew how to use magic , I wanna know what the portal at the end of the glass desert could have lead us to , and what is behind those seemingly circular doors on starlight strand near the flutter gordo , if you looked at the map you did problaby see a big grey thing there , I think that it may be a cave kinda thing , with the entrance being the cracked door like thing with light coming out of it , maybe theres a portal in there? Maybe a city? Or something beyond our immagination...?

[@Nana-ox9so]

Can it be Bea ? Like 2 parallel universes ? One Bea choose the portal = destroying it in process and the other the Bea who stayed and didn't go through the portal

[@indominusbat545]

its possible

[@SalviAlmighty]

Am I the only one who finds it strange, almost suspicious, that we never actually see Hobson ourselves? We talk to Thora, who mentions Hobson all the time, but he's never there to talk to us himself. I quite like the kid theory! But I'll agree with you that there's an underlaying dread.. the weird blocked tunnels kinda freak me out.

[@leoangelo5631]

Precisely what ive been looking for. Just finished the game and my biggest hint was on Hobson and Thoras child and, when i had to hear it from someone else. When you said it I got the most delightful goosebump of the year! The grandma also drove me away but i still want to believe it

[@SolitaryVirus48]

1:10 girl walked past a GOLD SLIME

[@GamingFujiguya]

I Miss Casey I hope they are okay and pop randomly with Starmail

[@indominusbat545]

same. i was kind of sad when i didnt see anything abt casey. i was hoping to atleast hear more about their and beatrix's life on earth or smth. or even a link that allows them to talk yknow.

[@taylort3674]

My thought so far is Hobson and Thora's child, but theres also the detail of drones from Mochi that make me lean into maybe this being her child from the future? I personally try not to focus to heavily on a "legacy" part as i think that could be something that could come to be in the future and doesnt actively need to be the case right now. Theres also the way they make a code Viktor has to decipher that makes me think theyd have to get that knowledge from somewhere. I really love the way it makes you have to think!

[@pico1201]

Mochi probably sold her drone designs in the future

[@odin1640]

I personally think that maybe some of her friends go through the portal with Bea, specifically Mochi and Viktor, seeing as Mochi is the one who built the new drones, the game heavily implies this at least imo, and Viktor is the designer of the AI, and he based it off of himself, if im not mistaken he talks with Bea about how he and the AI are very alike, the characters lived out their lives in the past somewhere, but at some point they come to Rainbow Island or maybe Rainbow Island is their starting point, either way, Viktor makes his AI in a location where it is protected for however long it needs to be

[@mm2_Racoon]

I like this theory

[@5FriedFrittersOnAFriday]

multiplayger slim ranvher real!!!!!

[@Undertale4ife]

I think the person in the drones is mochi’s father.

[@kingstrojek9937]

I kinda hope we get access to all whole map from the 1st game but updated with the weather ect even if it’s just a dlc

[@Nullxiety56]

In slime rancher 1 the teleporter at the end of the glass desert is broken which happened before bea got there and the drones talk about this mysterious person going to the glass desert and the machine can't just break randomly someone went there before us spied on us and when we finish the game they invite us to rainbow island to take their place for who knows what reason they chose bea

[@krykoe801]

Is NOBODY gonna talk about the fact Alidove_ missed a golden slime at 1:10

[@caffeinatedcobra1914]

this video was well read, perfectly structured and easy to understand. your voice was really relaxing and pleasant to listen too. i felt like i was watching a game theory video! the editiing was very smooth too. i hope you make another theory video after the next content update

[@louiscolumbus3407]

First time finding your channel and I loved the video, I hope you make more slime rancher videos in the future!

[@neah565]

Here's my theory: First of all, someone brought plorts of saber slime from Slime Rancher 2 to The Wilds and accidentally scattered them around, so that the whole place is covered with huge amounts of saber slime. So the main area of saber slime is Powderfall Bluffs. The same person who sent us the ship in Slime Rancher 2. Do you like my theory?

[@tonka4201]

My first theory was it was beatrix who was there before, in my opinion mochi whould give the drones to bea so yeah i thought of that too,i do think bea could make a time machine and erase her own memories so she whould save the island and relive the adventure...im not sure the child theory makes sense but the child theory could make the most sense knowing that the last story was about hobson too.

[@LakkzScratch]

I think hobbson used the portal or tried to and destroyed the Far Far Range, and somehow it brought the broken Far Far range to an older and more unused Far Far Range. Which might be why he asked Bea to take care of it.

[@nabsterthe29th]

if Mochi Miles designed those drones and she mentioned her dad then i guess it should be her i think...

[@TheSloanMan]

because mochi can only dream of such tech, i predict that the island was (will be) inhabited by their future selves, that somehow traveller through time and left things there. same with viktor. this “ai” could very well be him from the future

[@Justafloridaguy]

Plot twist: it’s Bob, and his new quantum slime friends (a weird character design change that implements slimes that are know to be time related or smt)

[@hyper_ent0407]

Now that the game has a full release (I think) can we have an update?

[@Lumberjack_king]

Time travel is definitely involved

[@maricooper1968]

Day 49 of telling Ali we apprecicate them and their content! :)

[@nooneeey]

Her

[@Xxmattproplayerinoforzaromaxx]

I think that you are in the right way with the second theory, the grey labirinth basically confirms that

[@DaeiBreak]

Loved this video! Have you played the new updates? I hope to see a new vid soon

[@jaguar8038]

I think the theory two is pin point storyline because it just clics, the kid talking about her grandma could just be a childish act for the sake of confusing the player since you dont want the full story to be revealed this easy, your video was super well made and it cleared things out for me thx

[@guillaumeleroux6996]

I loves this video, the theories are greats but have some problems, the drones often refer to avoid his parents and family history, it could be future mochi, she wanted to disapoint her dad, wich she can do by starting a single simple ranch instead of continue her family big ranch legacy, and she might want to forget her family history because she was a rich kid who's dad didn't take enough care and she didn't seem to had any real friends before B. B could have made her want to start her ranch, and finally has she says the drones looks like something she could create in the futur and she gives the archive key later. (+ Not real arguments but in the labyrinths drone she clearly differences biseness man with ingeneer, and knowing she's from a rich family.. 🤷)

[@Void_with_bright]

by the way 4 parts not 3 on the map theres a place we can't get but its there you can see a bit of it as well and its blue

[@keyondevlam646]

At wat day do you get mochi’s key?

[@mrassassin1292]

Well now that the game got updated we might get more info about who other then you is on the island.

[@evodolka]

Never even knew there was a 2

[@tiredrat2628]

Anyone else think it's kind of weird Hopson and Thora are going to have a kid? I'm not agasnt it they just seem too old, and they wouldn't be able to adopt.

[@TheHappynstuff]

I thought it was the cold too.

[@mermaidia-wv9hd]

i think its maybe a differnt character entirely maybe a 7z member gone rouge? idk

[@Lemon_Moth_21]

Maybe it's Bea's son from the future

[@Imms64]

Bro chill i think the game isn't even done yet

[@cheeseman-isme]

she missed a gold slime

[@courtneyswanson9914]

slime rancher1 is ominis too

[@Sir_stabsalot]

nah its bob

[@BrodyDoesSomething]

Bro they came out with a new update on ze game!

[@Pikachu-vr6tt]

it has a story?

[@Frogboyaidan]

Yes

[@DolphyShark]

What if bea actually took 2 paths? One where she used the teleporter and one where she didnt.

[@LeopoldBrown-p9m]

Nice 1:26

[@ethanbao1827]

I loved the first game and I bought cloud save so I could play it when it came out but I was ultimately disappointed. I feel like they changed too many features from the first game. But I still love the lore and story of the game and want to keep up with it. I hope I will get used to the change in how the game works
