Rest in Peace to the best of the best writers of all time.

It’s strange to think that these days, both of these gents would have been tapped for a shared universe style of stories and movies. In a way, Funcom had given us a look into what that might’ve looked like. That’s one of the bigger reasons I like to play. Despite their grievous flaws, both men made a huge impact on popular literature. I truly hope the upcoming seasons keep this link alive. Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it!

My favourite Lovecraftian feature in Conan Exiiles is.. er all of them! But if I had to choose, it would be Dagon and the deep ones. I never knew Conan had so much influence from Lovecraft. You do an absolutely brilliant job of showcasing it all too, thank you!

[@PfizZz]

You have no idea how many times Ive posted in global about some lovecraft easter egg ive found and no one replies. thank you for validating me.

[@ill-fatedgamer]

This is the best part of CE I love all the REAL lore in the game. I have also jumped into Howards life ... bitter sweet for us fans

[@Eradicati0nn]

Agreed, the lore just always seems to hit the right spot for me. Howard's life is pretty tragic indeed, though at least his legacy is an impermeable part of Sword & Sorcery

[@doarner]

You can summon the avatar of Yog and it is an Eldritch abomination with tentacles and multiple eyes, resembling a creature from the Lovecraft mythos.

[@ianoag]

Well, I knew Howard and Lovecraft were friends, I knew there were a few elements of Lovecraft in Conan Exiles, but I had no idea there were that many! Thanks for being so informative! Brilliant Video!

[@2236gaming]

Wonderful video!, high quality content :)

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@sesimie]

Two of my very favourite sources of entertainment:- The Hyborian Age and Metallica both influenced me to respect Lovecraftian horror. Loved this video!

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thanks Sesimie, glad you enjoyed it!

[@BobGeis]

Great video. The Lovecraftian elements are a huge draw to CE for my friends and I.

[@smoberley]

Great video! Enjoyed it very much. Conan wouldn't be the same without the Lovecraftian influence that also permeated Howard's work.

[@MemeGene6969]

man, its so sad that both writers had so much shit in their lives. rest in peace both!!!

[@Eradicati0nn]

Agreed. Given how young they both were, it's a shame we won't know what they could have contributed to their genres over the rest of their natural lives

[@markphillips4836]

Praises to thee for this video! For the gods do smile upon you.

The lurker of the treshold is Nyarlanthotep, not Yog-Sothoth

[@zeronitsuj6243]

What's the ancient language that Kurak speak ?

[@Eradicati0nn]

Kurak speaks two separate languages, aside from English. The pre-fight language is Psyonic, which is very hard to find anything about, I've only managed to track down one source. The second is R'lyheian, which a Lovecraftian language much easier to find a translation for. I translated both languages in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWWcnqZ5jpumfbc

[@cheesus7672]

Hard to say, its the same language lovecrafts characters speak when worshiping Great Old Ones in dark rituals

[@jankoval]

My bet is i's either R'lyehian, Acheronian or even Valusian (given Kurak's true identity). Si nun. Si ezera. Halambaru ni dur! Kusum! Bala! Tumu si! Iä Nyarlathotep! Iä! Iä! Um elu, gestug suna inim-sud!

[@Eradicati0nn]

@@jankoval That particular segment is Psyonic speech, seems very hard to find outside of Alan Russell's books. His later speech at the end of the fight is R'lyehian though

[@TheD4vie]

good video, thanks, are you on twitter at all?

[@Eradicati0nn]

I am! I try to tweet fairly often but I'm terrible for just forgetting the site exists for a while 😂 twitter.com/Eradicati0nn

[@bpopa27]

The idea that Azathoth or Yor-Sothoth dream reality is misconstrued with Lord Dunstany's Mana-Yood-Sushai who created the universe and now sleeps, and the other gods try to keep him asleep for should he ever wake, reality (or the current universe) would seem boring and a new one made in it's place

[@sedeslav]

I was surprised that both of them had just 20 when they died! just imagine todays teens writing that!

[@anggellos87]

Your audio is quite full blast in headphones barely hear

[@markphillips4836]

Am I the only one who thinks they should have made Dagon a religion you can follow in the game after defeating the boss? Such wasted potential.

[@Eradicati0nn]

In-game, Dagon kinda seems like a 'lost' religion in that he's only represented in the dungeon and in a few place names. I definitely like the idea of opening up the pantheon to Dagon, Xotli and some others though

[@aschergamer2213]

Age of Dagon, maybe??
