I'm really looking forward for Crane making his comeback in DL2. From side of Techland it would be kinda strange not to show people the true ending of Crane's story!

The devs know we love Crane. Which is why they continued to thank us supporting DL 1 for about 8 years. If they don’t bring him back in any way during DL 2s DLC they are SORELY missing out on connecting with the community like DL 1 again

[@cynically_insane]

Looking back on the narrative and gameplay choices, dying light 1 outshines dl2 in every way. The only thing better about the second instalment is the expanded parkour and better graphical fidelity. The map is full of copy pasted rooms, dying light 1’s map was unique.

[@FreelanceDev4life]

The graphics of DL1 are still great to this day. I see no reason why DL2 graphic could be called better tbh. It's such a marginal improvement

[@brightblackgrouse6236]

Graphics in 1 are more refined and are more photo realistic. I can't really explain it but dying light 2 looks a bit off at times.

[@brassfish13]

my theory is the blue vial is an early prototype of the inhibitors aiden took..thats why he would sometimes turn for a bit and come back

[@quackbasilisk1416]

I think the entire point of the virus is the sentient volatiles, it was all supposed to be a super soldier serum. Kinda like resident evil. This makes sense for both dying light 1 and 2, with the inhibitors being more like stabilizers, suppressing the negative effects of the virus but boosting the positive. I noticed there is a lot of cut story in dying light 2, why does waltz sound like a Volatile in chase sequences, and why does Aidan's animations have him looking at his arms so much in cutscenes. I think they were supposed to be Volatile esc, but this transformation was cut, along side with the mechanic of becoming stronger as your immunity got lower. Not as related but I noticed something strange when exploring the dam next to the observatory, there was an air vent, like for the glider. If you follow the river on the map, it lands you back on the highway suspiciously near where you wake up in the last mission. I always found it odd you kinda just wake up after entering the secret tunnel, across the map, in the middle of a bridge. I have a feeling you were supposed to chase waltz following the river by the observatory using your glider and the air vents, landing on the bridge. Kinda like following the tracker on the peacekeeper's subway train. The game doesn't just have some cut content and story, it was butchered.

[@Bloodhurl67]

[@Journey_Awaits]

In the beta build you would transform into a zombie instead of just dropping dead when you run out of meds

[@zombie4726]

I know everyone likes the idea of Crane being a night hunter, but him being a sentient volatile just makes more sense lore-wise and volatiles play a bigger role in the dying light story. As someone else wrote, maybe Volatile Crane can help Aiden control his abilities? 🤔

[@zebradino2534]

Why the lily hell would anyone make Crane's face like the Volatile🤔 that's why people with (sense) would say nighthunter I mean the nighthunter does look and is more cooler than thee Volatile 🙃🙂😀👍

It doesn’t make sense because if you look at the models, the hunter is just a bigger bolter with spikes and he clearly doesn’t become that.

[@asctiu9755]

@@zebradino2534It makes no sense. A Night Hunter is a different form of mutation and no, NOT a combination of the different special infected. Kyle was directly exposed to the mist and even drank the vial that it came from, the same way the Mother did. He only became a Sentient Volatile. That’s it.

Dude, Techland has everything on the table to make a terryfyingly good narrative and expansion to the second game, make somehow Aiden connected to Crane, make the cult and the sentient volatiles a narrative feature and maybe even gameplay, make old characters comeback and be part of the story like Spike, Tolga and Fatin and maybe even dr. Camden. Jesus the oportunities that are being slept on hurt me, Techland has an amazing world with so many possibilities, i really hope that this year they make the central loop a more challenging and terryfying place, im talking about volatiles that walk and patrol the roofs, evolved volatiles with more parkour abilities and terryfying lore, bring back the suicidal zombies and maybe even events like the prison and bozaks horde that have stupid hard challenges with stupid broken weapons and skins as rewards, and to put the cherry on top to make this game a perfect sequel, bring back the night hunter with even more abilities, a full lore sequence behind it and new gameplay features that would make the players actually fear this beast that has evolved for the past 22 years and now roams around the central loop like the apex predator that it was created to be.

I honestly just want techland to put as much effort into the story as they've put into trying to make dl2 an rpg. 😂 The community wants more story elements, we want more world building. We want things to be all connected together, much akin to the resident evil series. Perhaps it's excelled as much as it has, BECAUSE they have connected their universe together. Good grief, I sure hope techland continues to listen to us, and we get a really good dlc that doesn't focus on completing missions as opposed to finding out what's really going on in the dlu (Dying Light Universe).

I for one would absolutely love for DLC to delve into the Virus and Volatiles. It's such an interesting part of the lore. Especially with Aiden being who he is. Big yes on the terrifying hell caves. Such perfectly horrifying areas they were.

[@cihatredfield6110]

You may remember, the Villedor is only left city on the world, maybe one of a few. I think Crane was alive and when he is night nighter the world meesd up. Aiden every time says '' The outside world going to be worse. ''. That means there is contiunous mutated virus. And Crane is still alive. Maybe Crane was a super volatile as Aiden and I hope Aiden explore him next game & dlc. My first theory: Maybe Crane can control the virus and he was a superhuman. Because even in 15 years people talk about him. What that guy say : '' You are well as KYLE CRANE ''. So, that ( I don't remember but we would take cyberhands from him ) guy should be see the crane, even he talk with him. Second Theory: Crane was died, because again that guy says '' You mean, who was he? Sometimes the biggest heroes falls so bad. '' But I very very very hope, Crane is alive. If Crane was die, this game serious will collapse.

[@TheDoughnut22]

Dude you need to DM and have an interview with the lead developer. These are amazing questions, and leaves the Dying Light universe with holes that need to be filled. This needs to happen, we have holes in the story.

[@ShaggyTheClown17]

I'd find it really cool as I imagined crane rushed to build his own sort of metropolis where he'd have light on him at all times and taught himself whatever biology virology he could to try to find a way to cure himself, and obviously he wouldn't want ANYONE to see him like that, pretty low chance he would have been able to go back and get the others, even if the others were doomed to turn into sentient volatiles too but maybe their transformation hit around that time too and maybe he managed to direct the others out and made a new civilization with them either underground or somewhere else. Then as they stayed hidden under constant UV light I can only imagine the "virus" or whatever "infection" that made them that way would also end up transforming in different ways considering the mother was still capable of keeping her mind together after all that time as well as after the dam was messed with the last time before she was killed. Based on this it does go along with what Waltz was saying at the end when he said the only thing that separates them from the infected is just a few moments in the dark, he and aiden and I guess others are products of experiements to actually use the "virus" to improve humanity, to conform the human body to the infection to create a form of superhuman which apparently has been accomplished as the inhibitors not only make aiden stronger but they also apparently work with the infection itself, consolidated with the whiteish chemical that waltz injected into aiden and himself and probably others. NOW, the only question is that if Kyle Crane shows up again will he be a villain or an ally? I can only imagine he'll be an ally since he basically surrendered his own life trying to save his friends after risking his life time and time again after becoming attached to them when it all just started out as a part of his job. What would he even be doing, what would he need aiden for to keep the story going? Maybe crane will kidnap aiden and put him through trials to prove he is something different but possibly very similar to himself and maybe he will be a villain trying to use aiden to turn himself back to somewhat normal again? Who knows.

[@ShaggyTheClown17]

My guess is that with the new look of volatiles now vs before its obvious crane's own volatile form would probably have changed as well, and if he has just been in constant UV light after having that first joyride the night he emerged, the light which apparently doesn't hurt him or the infection itself you could maybe consider he might even look slightly like himself again since regular volatiles literally start burning to ash in UV and sunlight..... So its also possible that crane doesn't even want a cure anymore and its also possible he just wants to help people like he had spent so much time and sacrificed so much trying to do before....

[@spookieboogi6161]

If he’s a villain I’m done with Techland he was the very first character next to Leon Kennedy I ever felt an attachment to and his every action never showed an inclination towards harming others only the greater good he stood up to his bosses faster than any character I ever saw he’s not the type to use another to Regain his humanity he gave everything for harran I thinks it’s time Techland showed him and the players the respect they deserve

[@darksmiling6387]

I feel as if Crane is out there as a Nighthunter, with conscious mind during the day and at night, well, his volatile instincts take over. Since he drank the vile like the mother, i imagine he'd have a similar effect. It would be so cool if we got Crane as a Nighthunter in the DLC. Imagine Aiden interacting and speaking to Crane while he's conscious during the day. Plus the ability to switch between the two for gameplay. Its just a cool idea and a thought.

[@SRHv2]

If they ever wanted to include Kyle crane in dying light 2 as a character, it should be in a post game dlc. Spoiler warning: When aiden leaves the city perhaps on his travels he finds a special kind of person. A sentient volatile. not just any sentient volatile, but Kyle crane. Crane sees what aiden is going through, struggling with his infection and decides to help him. After all both of then still remain humans in the day and only do zombie stuff at night. Crane teaches aiden how to control his infection and use it as a tool. This could lead to infection abilities and could start a whole new skill tree! Idk how they'll move the story after that, but it's a decent idea for the premise I'd say Edit: too bad the ending of the game will probably force any post story dlcs to happen outside villedor and with no reoccurring characters, since that would decanonise an ending which the devs don't want since they want the player to carve their own world

[@Journey_Awaits]

He should be a super zombie like Mercer from prototype that can shape shift from biomass and shape the body into a weapon it would be badass. Maybe also absorbing memories from high value targets to find the truth.

[@piotrkijak1774]

I have theory that starts normal but later ends up to be extremely weird and unusual but im uncertain if you would like that. Dying Light 1 seems to be focusing on remaining human and Following about trying to fight off the Infection as they are near end, Dying Light 2 also focuses on remaining human. Well there's big possibility that Kyle Crane might've had flashbacks at some point and the way we perceive certain things aren't the way they ended up being. While he might've defeated mother, he might've never ended up going out of the canals he was trapt in and just passed out like The Mother, becoming Sentinel Volataile. Because of that he was exposed to darkness, deepest of darkness. Which turned him into some sort of new mutation, while retaining his human identity at light. Kyle Crane might still be there and the fact that People of Harran started appearing in DL 2 tells me we might see Kyle Crane in DL 2 as Nighthunter which will be huge or THV and HV are quite different in forms and could prove that mixing them could create some sort of antidote for him by reversing the change. Because first virus was based on rabbies and some sort of infection that turned them to be agressive, the second strain which was created by humans lowered the agression and put more strength and durability which was to be injectable. THV gen-mod supposed to eliminate the virus and vaccinate the people but instead mutated it but what if these efforts actually worked on old strain of the Virus from 2014 not the new strain that would reverse Kyle Harran Virus and turn him back into human form (many will be confused, how a monster can be cured well either that cured him or killed him) but i think they wouldn't kill off Crane in that kind of way, i think he is alive perhaps maybe either in his nighthunter form or the THV Genmod has instead of mutating him cured out of disease and stopped the infection progression and started reverse on itself with his cells returning to a previous state pre-infection.

[@a1kevin72]

Loved this video! I, like everyone else was dissapointed to say the least that dying light 2, lacked a story. And there was hardly any focus on the infected, and the aftermath of harran. However from the stories that techland released before dying light 2 was released and the comic after. Kind of gives us a clue as to whether or not volatiles, and all infected for that matter, retain some of their humanity (atleast in some form). First we need to go back to one of the very first survivor stories released by techland. It involved a woman called "the grandmother" if I'm not mistaken. Telling a story about a young couple at the beginning stages of villedors falling to the virus. As the grandmother was telling the story, she said that the woman's husband had been infected and eventually turned into a volatile. She said that everyday the volatile; even though taken over by the virus. Would have moments of lucidity/humanity, and go look for his wife. Turns out that right at the end of the old woman telling the tale, she said eventually the woman's husband/volatile was taken down, and hanged. The woman too wished to be buried along side her husband/volatile. The lady telling the story gave a hint at the end that this was infact her story. Another story of survivors we can listen to, and analyze is the story of Takeshi who was presumably, turned into a revenant. And seemed to retain his humanity/consciousness, but did not have control of his own body, nor mind. Which is what the virus does. This let's us know, that even though the infected are completely taken over by the virus, somehow they have some form of sentience or knowledge that they have turned and some humanity is still left, just not enough to control themselves. We should also take a look at banshee who also has moments of lucidity herself, and will be disgusted with herself when realizing what she has become. Another last example we can think of, that is hardly ever talked about is, screamers; specifically the zombie children from dying light 1. We know that screamers at the time of turning became susceptible to the virus, and rather than their fight response being heightened their flight response was. Much alike the bolters! But an important thing to note was that everytime you did encounter a screamer, they would always be watching either television or in the room/house they turned. Which let's us know they too retain some humanity/consciousness. The last thing I'd like to recall/point out. Is that we know for a fact survivors of harran were rescued and placed into different cities. After the release of dying light 2, techland released a final comic. Where the setting takes place in a completely different city, with a protagonist that was revealed to be a survivor/refugee of harran. This is the same story that shows how the nighthunter evolved. While reading the comic you find out that several of the harran survivors/refugees were placed in cities by the GRE. And that some people who weren't harran survivors, blamed and held harran refugees responsible for the spread of the virus outside of harran. What I found interesting though is that this comic; if cannon. Takes place before the events of the city named villedor. Because the volatiles briefly shown in the comic still looked very much like the volatile from dying light 1, with their rib cage being exposed from their bodies. This leads me to believe that the comic takes place a few years after the harran epidemic and neighboring cities falling alongside with it. But not exactly 15-20 years after harran, within the dying light timeline. The harran refugees, and children of this particular city. Do end up leaving the city and leaving somewhere. Which only leads me to believe that they might have well spread the virus even further themselves, or they went out to seek refugee to other neighboring cities. That maybe gives us a clue as to how the events leading to villedor, and aidden took place. Or that indeed there might be a few remaining cities left. Theoretically speaking, there has to be at the very least a few cities standing left, besides villedor. These stories while important clues and details, are not enough to reveal to us as to what exactly happened, and how the infected work. I think techland just wanted to throw these clues in so we can study and analyze them. Smart move if you ask me! I. Just wish they would have dwelled into the infected more during the main story in dying 2. That's if folks! Someone feel free to correct me or share more about the stories of survivors for me. Ali keep up the great work! I highly suggest you go back and review once more all the survivor stories and comics. And make a video about them once more explaining everything, and presenting theories based off, of what we have learned within the survivor stories themselves and the actual events of dying light 2. Like a revision of some sort if you will. Love you guys and this community! God bless, stay safe💙💚! Good night, and Goodluck; stay human!

I’ve been thinking about this and think it would be cool if Kyle came back as some secret masked hero. And uv tech has progressed a little so maybe he just keeps a few uv lights in his suit at night to keep sentient. Maybe it fails at some point and you have to fight telepathic volatile crane. Not kill just fight and escape like with Walz. But I think they could add so much to the story with crane coming back.

In a live stream, the devs of dying light 2 did before the release of hell raid (a live stream where they showcased the Hell Raid DLC), one of them said that Kyle Crane is "long gone". To me, it doesn't make sense: the mist wasn't just effecting Crane, but also the locals - yet they never turned or were affected by it. I thought Dying light 2 was going to continue from the following and explain what happens next to the harran virus: Camden even said at the end of the first game that the harran virus cure was looking more promising than ever. I thought Dying light 2 was going to show what results Camden produced; maybe even show what happenend to Kyle Crane etc. But no we end up going into the second game looking for Aidens sister, and an anti-climatic ending Disclaimer: I am not saying Dying light 2 is a bad game, I enjoyed playing it especially all the new parkour mechanics, but it did have a lot of potential :)

[@nickbriggs8059]

It’s not over yet. Give ‘em time and TL will deliver

[@TheGravityShifter]

It's a good theory. For all we know, if Crane did live out his days somewhere after that ending, he could've hibernated as the boogyman in the outskirts of a twon to survive all these years and reveal himself to be a Sentient Volatile to Aiden in a future DL2 DLC somehow. And he could be a god among locals in his side of the neighborhood. Maybe they could write in a thing where after the Fall of Mankind, he decided the only way to save humanity is to make people like him, and only he is able to make people sentient Volatiles, and his worshipers make a sacrificial offering to ceremoniously get infected. This would likely inevitably make him an antagonist in some form which fans would likely hate, but it would be like Wanda in that Dr. Strange Movie or that antagonist in Moonknight where they have good intentions but they do more harm than good. I'm merely just spitballing an idea that just happened off the top of my head but I think it might be a fun concept if people are fine with fighting a misguided and changed Kyle Crane who in the end, only wants to help people however he's able. Some of this idea was inspired by the Army of the Dead movie.

[@meatballmatt4374]

Honestly, I wish Dying Light 2 had been exclusively about sentient volatiles and peaceful zombies instead of what we actually got, but oh well. Finger's crossed we get that storyline for Dying Light 3.

[@thememer3540]

Or the dlc

[@whitewolf3359]

I agree with your theory in fact I believe the guy with his mask like mother in the dying light 2 DLC trailer is a sentient volatile 🙂

Thank You

[@jordothe1st835]

All of this is very cool.... I think I know what might happen to Crane but I don't want to write a damn comment for 5 hours and editing it 😂 Anyway I wish there was a DLC where you could go to Harran and explore it since Aiden is a pilgrim and knows how to survive outside the walls. Or at least is able to go up the mountains and be able to see The Tower and Rais's Tower.

[@lazybones107]

I think Kyle Crane should be a sentient volatile that is a bounty dude like Harper, where you can interact with him and he can give you cool dying light 1 stuff

[@andrebailey5058]

I want a third game in the future where aiden and lawan go around helping people then they hear about the countryside where the mother was and they go there and they find the sentient volatiles and see that the leader is crane or something like that I really want them to mix the two of the protagonists stories together in some way.

[@Petra999]

Your voice is goated my guy

[@user-xv1jz5od7g]

Honestly, just seeing Crane make an appearance would be great. Anytime I'm playing dl2, I think "dang, imagine if Aiden and Crane went against each other." Two good survivors, but one who is half infected, and one who is fully infected. (That goes with the dying light following theory, if Crane being the night hunter.) But if Crane does show up in dl2, I hope he makes a great appearance, not just something small, because Crane deserves more than that. Especially because the mystery of what happened to him, is still here.

Since dying light 2 called "stay human" it makes sense to add crane back later as a sentient volatile (at night he cant control himself)

[@zycienapodkarpaciu9183]

My head canon is that GRE Captured Night hunter Crane who escaped harran as seen in the Following ending (and after that anything could happend)

[@requisthebigbrolicblackdud7352]

Sentient Volatile not a hunter :)

[@jackiedee2256]

@HIRO So you don't know how the virus works, got it. The virus doesn't change a special infected into a different special infected, that goes the same with volatiles. Keep up with the program.

[@reddeaddude2187]

I REALLY want to see Crane again! Also I think Spike's cameo in DL2 would've been so much better if he hadn't dismissed Kyle with the line "Doesn't matter." Instead he should've told Aiden "He was an old friend of mine, from before the collapse." This would've been so much more consistent with his character. On a final note, I fully believe we will get a The Following type expansion where Crane is reintroduced as a sentient volatile ally.

[@MaxxxboxDGSCE]

just hope techland stop focusing on human stuff, infected evolution/behavior is so much better better imo

[@justdaavvv1380]

Kyle crane being a sentient night hunter would be pretty dope and explain on hiw some mutations work

[@thespanishchick1]

Maybe Kyle Crane hid in a volatile nest while they were bombing the city and somehow survived and is living as a sentient volatile in Harran along with the other infected and nests that survived

[@Dylan-le9zi]

You can hear an NPC in DL2 talking about the zombies being more intelligent than the humans expected. The concept was a group of zombies chasing a human into a trap in the ground, however we hear this story because he managed to climb up the walls, leaving him questioning how smart they actually are.

[@ajgorplays9576]

I have theory bad for us that techland will either pick Sentient Volatiles topic in mid-last DLC or even in 3rd game, from what i see they want to polish Aiden story and dont move too much unawsered questions from the first game

[@Z54]

this needs more views.

[@BonnieBunny118]

I hope we see more sentient volatiles

[@AggressiveASMR]

Hey, this is off topic but i wanted to play Dead island and few months ago i bought the riptide: definitive edition but never played it. Now i wanna play it but it looks like that the riptide definitive edition is not the "first" dead island. Should i but Dead island definitive edition or are they the same thing?

[@andrewoglevie7365]

Dang crane be hitting a gig here

[@harleyatchison5185]

I'd like a dlc of spike from the moment him and Aiden split showing us everything he did while Aiden was in villador

[@twobestbros2874]

The theory that the mist and blue liquid turns people into sentiant volotiles is possible, we have to remember that the mother ingested the liquid when she was about to turn, being infected, and crane was forced to drink the liquid by the mother, still infected from the bite at the beginning of the main game. In conclusion, the blue liquid (being an experimental weapon) maybe mutated the viras to emediantly turn the person infected into a volatile, they didn't lose their conscientious, explaining the sentiance in them.

[@bigrageno.2259]

Can't wait for the dlc with the castle. If E3 is right, it should be PKs Citadel

[@timtimjr3654]

Notifications = On, Best dying light channel

[@BestGamerAli]

Thank you so much for saying that :)

[@GribbleDibble-yp1vy]

My theory on this is to be a sentient volatile one must be previously infected with the virus. The mother thought the blue liquid was a cure implying that she was bitten. Crane was also bitten in the beginning and then when he had the blue liquid it made him a sentient volatile.

[@TeevAeditZ]

I hope they add the alpha volatile it would make the night so hard and fun

[@nickbriggs8059]

They delivered! TL listens to the community. You nailed it. ‘23 nighttime is much harder with tons of infected and VOL and even Alpha VOL.

We're still early in the game so there's still hope for new V's variants like the ice volatiles and tyrants besides its a new THV variant witch is why there's new infecteds.

[@dain6492]

If Aiden goes to harran in the dlc that would be awesome.

[@diablovaenatori7460]

Uh... I kind of thought the medication that they were taking that turned them into like super powered individuals and the second game was the upgraded version of the Blue mist where you keep your human appearance for the most part and gain the abilities of a volatile

[@mobinrohani4580]

Awesome :)

[@Felix-ve9hs]

The volatile crying for mercy reminds of the burning headcrab zombies of half life 2...

[@disbot3482]

Though it's weird, He did kill the mother but she was still able to taunt him when he was exiting through the sewers so like she's not fully dead, like mentally she's still there or something idk though it would be wicked that the mother taunts him for his life as a sentient volatile.

[@BestGamerAli]

There was a theory for that too, maybe it was just an hallucination done by the mother to show what he will become one day, to convince him to nuke the city. or the moment used telepathy skill to convey her last words before she fully died.

[@slimsy6940]

@@BestGamerAli perhaps it’s a bit similar to what resident evil did with The Mold. The virus could possibly have a sort of hive mind thing going on with anybody infected with any strain of the Harran virus (the original strain, the following’s engineered strain, or THV). This could mean the Mother’s conscience somehow stills lives on in the hive mind and still taunts Crane…. Or Maybe it likely is just hallucinations lol. I did comment this headcanon idea to Tymon when he asked about thoughts on the mother and such. This could maybe explain how she’s able to telepathically communicate with Crane and even show him visions of when she consumed the vials.

[@RWSlick]

The answer to your question is in the intro to DL2. THV from the first game was cured. The GRE then proceeded to mess with it, trying to make a weapon and a new strain broke out. The Volatile of DL2 are not the same as those in part 1. Waltz, and in some ways Aiden, are the closest to a sentient Volatile we will likely get. Also, I highly doubt that an infected Crane, in any form has survived for nearly 20 years. If so, the "man" is long gone.

[@aegfalcon5648]

We were told there was no returning characters then a few months before release we get spike in game for the intro then looking for Aiden at the end. Wouldn't make sense for techland to add spike and the references to crane if it weren't to tie him into the story. Think he'll teach Aiden how to be In control or atleast be in control while he's around. It's been 15 years since harran. Nothing really states that the Canon ending to DL was a nuke. Therefore it can only suggest that he's alive. But on that note we also never had confirmation of Waltz demise in 2. So potentially he could help develope both Aiden and Waltz into better versions of themselves. I dontthibk Waltz was truly a bad guy. In fact there are more than a few lines of dialouge that suggest he wants Aiden to live and escape him. Could be an extremely cool dynamic too have the three "mutated" groups of people together and working towards a common goal. Crane might possibly be the antagonist so to speak because of yhe GRE and its whole scheme. Just don't feel like Waltz was an evil person. He seemed kind and caring. I think Waltz needs a better look into his character because he truly intrigues me

[@arrow2urknee]

I know I'm late but I believe that the mother and crane were the only sentient ones because they're the only ones who drank the blue liquid rather then just inhaling it

[@thecthulhucompany6772]

Looking st tbe comments and forming my own ideas. The best possible dlc for Techland to make and redeem this game is a dlc where Aidan is forced into ingesting some chemicals which start his transformation into a sentient volatile and Spike sends him to Haran where something might help him. There he finds a Faction where either Crane after being the night hunter for so long became the leader of a group if sentient or sentient-ish volatiles or maybe he's like a crazed guard dog for them.

[@Yasthebosstv]

I cant wait for the return of crane..

[@train_go_boom2065]

I would love to see a sentient demolisher

[@TokayFan]

I assume since both the mother and crane were both infected whenever they consumed the blue vials is why they became sentient volatiles

[@jaycehickman2448]

I don't think those other people got it because both Kyle crane and the mother were infected when they had the blue vial so I think that's how they turn

[@mr_coolzzz2128]

Imagine if we go back to harran and the following... It's not possible but ...it's kinda possible. Maybe the cure will be in harran ? Then we'll meet crane ? I kinda like that idea
