THE LORE OF AFK JOURNEY EXPLAINED

[@Minsleif]

I’m playing on Server 289 so come join me! *AFK Journey is available on PC and Mobile starting on Mar 27th! PLAY NOW bit.ly/Skyclops #sponsored #AFKJourneyPartner*

[@Itsmoonztwo]

id love to know where you got the soundtrack from cause its really good

[@Minsleif]

@@Itsmoonztwo all the songs are from afk journey! 😍 their OST is SUPER good

[@Itsmoonztwo]

@@Minsleif yeah i understand the ost is coming from the game but is there a way to listen to them individualy? since you played some soundtracks in the video even though i tried to look everywhere and cant seem to find them

[@Minsleif]

@@Itsmoonztwo OH!! I see so I think the official OST isn't out yet unfortunately ; - ; ! The music files were sent to me as part of an assets package so I can't release them!

[@trashcan9153]

Hey on the Merlin theory, there's flavor text at the bottom that talks about the history of the game universe like the Holy War, Holistone, Faith Stone, etc. One of the flavor text is "with the fall of the gods, their powers return to the world. A person known as Merlin discovered ways to harness this power, which is later called 'magic'". Another one said "Towards the end of the Immortal War, mages and magisters began to band together to wage war against the avatars of the gods and try to mediate conflict. Chief among the council was the Magister Supreme, Merlin". It looks like Merlin is literally not a regular human being. Like, I'm pretty sure he's not human. Dude is the first person to harness magic and dude is the main guy to mediate conflicts among frickin deities. I think if someone can put together a concise timeline of the universe history, they might find things about Merlin and why he has frequent memory loss like the flu.

5:27 I never trusted those potentially drug infused grapes Overall, it's good to have a fellow lore enthusiast like you

[@Minsleif]

I just finished the deer quest line (up to vitality) and it was sooooo good ; - ;

[@pineapplelegends3477]

It's so funny that people just accept that Merlin can forget their entire life and all their relationships, I felt so bad for Hogen when he found out that Merlin changed again. But it's like a superpower, the ability to forget things and people not getting annoyed or mad at you for it And I love your theory about Merlin, it makes the first cutscene in the game more narrative driven (I guess?) because I thought that the cutscene was talking about the different players playing the same game and working towards similar goals like defeating the corrupted creature and the synergy helping things

[@George-_-wz7uy]

"Merlin" kinda reminds me of Avatar

[@audreyjones5140]

Yeep, if the "entering Avatar State" doesn't convince me, idk what will... 😂

[@anhnguyenduy8903]

Nice so it's not just me

[@roselleyrigan1566]

Same but with trollhunter

[@DBT1007]

and this BS happen IRL too with something like.. Dalai Lama. the reincarnation thing of a most influential person in a religious group.

[@tommyska8082]

glad your making lore videos for AFK journey

[@heenthousiast383]

4:15 Merlin looks especially good in Short White Hair with Velvet/Red eyes imo :)

[@pradyumnarout8402]

So its apparent that a lot of us are a white haired, monocle wearing, greeting gestured posing....

[@Minsleif]

i'm hoping one day we get more hair color options lkansd if i could use a light teal or light blue i would! but yES the white hair hits so hard in this game!

[@Al-eo2li]

YES! Minslief and AFKJourney. Im happy.

[@PureGarbageWithCheese]

I like to think that Merlin is so powerful, they can use Hypogean magic without the negative effects and shapeshift easily.

[@Razorrrrrrrrrrrr]

I really like vala and her teaser, she’s the Kafka I never had xd

[@thesparklegirl3236]

Good luck

[@JonCareyMath]

These recap videos are actually super helpul, I'd love to have this for every part of the game!!!

[@BigBoyz33]

I came here because of Cecia in the thumbnail and got hooked on the lore, thank you for the vid

[@BlockyP]

Got an AFK Journey ad right before watching this 💪🏻

[@Sid-mc5fn]

this got me hooked up , will wait for more videos like this

[@zhuang4838]

Been waiting for this!!

[@elyabaryza7185]

I think you might be onto something with Merlin having a connection with the Hypofiend/Hypogeans. In Arthurian legend he is also known as the Demon's son where his mom, a nun was tricked by an incubus and concieve him 🤔 And since the closest thing AFK have for a demon is the Hypofiend/Hypogeans.... It could be a coincidence, OOORRR the developers took some inspiration from the real life legends of "Merlin Ambrosius" for their game, honestly won't be surprise

[@kmook1.]

the video we all needed! thank you!

[@Ken_Mochi]

the first I played this game.. I immediately attracted to Valen... and... I immediately have a lot of headcanon between My Merlin and Valen working inside my brain LOL~

[@ingambsr]

Relatable xd

[@althea7181]

SAMEEE like the smallest interaction of them got me gigling and kicking my feets

[@LadyL2121]

That’s crazy my characters are around level 110 and level 255 on AFK progress also I’m almost close to finishing the dark forest arc

[@charlieforbes-nixon9561]

How . I’m struggling

[@carltimbol1331]

I absolutely love this game. I'm glad I started with afk journey though. Afk arena has a tweened feel to it that makes it look a little cheap. Kinda like a pair of mass produced Chinese jeans. Afk journey has this storybook look that feels clean and cozy. Like a pair of nicely made slacks.

[@Brddvd]

Thank you. Honestly I skipped everything but I like the game so good to catch up

[@padparadscha1452]

can't wait for the complete lore 😁

[@johnlorencemonteras6970]

If you've read "pick me up" maanwha, you'll somehow notice the similarities

[@orbiddenfluid]

OMG- i am also OBSESSED with this game.Thanks for making afk journey videos❤❤❤

[@kaialsh4321]

I was so happy with the skip button that i spammed it. I was waiting for this video

[@Lord_nyx_xd]

I skipped all the stories and i just wanted to wyf was happening and i got this in my recommendations and i understand the story now and ths ❤❤❤❤

[@wingswingswings]

Get that coin min!

[@cache_valley_cryptid]

Plssss make more of these im obsessed with this game too TvT

[@zim0erry]

Yayyy afk journey lore! do dark forest next plsss

[@FlashKillerX]

Ah not the VIP 11 Vala skin lmao. It is so pretty and she's my best unit but it's gonna be a minute before I spend enough to get there

[@kikoshaula]

Omg i've been SO ADDICTED to this game min it's so cool to see you playing it too!!! Who's your favorite character? Mine is Lorsan (playable lorsan WHEN)

[@Minsleif]

i LOVE Vala i finally supreme+ her TT o TT I'm really enjoying Florabelle too! I can't wait for Lorsan to be playable! I was so hoping he'd be the next character announced TT o TT i loved his character so much in the story!

[@kikoshaula]

@@Minsleif incredible taste as always 😌 holding out for playable lorsan soon 🤞🤞🤞

[@henryscarhead6119]

AFK journey is a story of the dimensional faction merlin and maybe King Arthur before afk arena?

[@djvanfordgaming]

More plsss!

[@weesumm]

More lore pls

[@amalajohn1127]

OOh. I used to play AFK Arena while it was still a small game with not as many characters. I stopped playing, but this looks very interesting.

[@justinereymendoza1831]

We need more of this, cuz I literally skipped the story

[@momolingah3958]

I need the chap 2

[@RicardoDelgadillo3000]

Awesome video!

[@Not_A_Friend0777]

Good game, relaxing to play

[@vanham437]

heck yea more pls!

[@blitzer12x]

I knew it, that's why I skipped through the story, Minsleif will do the job for us.

[@loufbread26]

because of this im honna rewatch the RWBY 😂

[@kokomistark]

finaly a lore!

[@jhunsuete995]

I played since the first beta release, honestly i forgot every story til now my acc. Just sitting on my phone legit waiting for reset.

[@EHA14]

i wish i have a minsleif for guardian tales :')

[@sylvarogre5469]

But, there's no Dainsleif in AFK... or is there?

[@1990tcyta]

I have played AFK Arena (the prequel) for 4 years and the game is nothing but kind to the players the 2 games share plenty of characters too, Merlin included, but there, Merlin is an old man For the lore shake, you might want to check out AFK arena's "Bantus Bash" and "Tales of Esperia: Desperation" would also show you a very interesting point of view toward the 2 demon/god faction

[@berea2258]

liked it, played for 5 days, rolled 12 S heroes, left

[@Midnightismycat94]

You have really beautiful voice 😂

[@justafriendlycryptid]

I've been brought here by my adventures in JesterJune. I'm curious but not quite trusting of playing the game myself. Idle Champions betrayed my trust before.

[@erltonjames]

Is there no continuation for this? I sadly have been skipping dialogues.

[@minghanchua8462]

Why didn't KZbin show this 7 days ago!!? I'm 7 days late ;-;

[@joevilinom.5003]

Question, does the afk Journey and afk arena have the same timeline or lore? Cause I played the game, they have the same characters (others might come soon) but yeah, I wanna know.

[@Windsofambience]

oof thicc mommy vala was spensive

[@Minsleif]

i have her mythic+ on my main and 0 regrets lkansd

[@isthisnova1179]

u here too,now i can skip the story and not worry about it.😗

[@infernoBalrog]

When part 2?

[@Minsleif]

hopefully soon! i just finished the dark forest quest line! : D

[@aryangupta10csn56]

Will you cover reverse 1999 too ???

[@Minsleif]

i have a video on the first act uploaded! :'D

[@HolicChan]

60 to 200 in one day?! How 😭

[@Minsleif]

no sleep and lots of grinding TT o TT

[@MiddIestick]

I thought Dolly mention that the name "Merlin" is more like a title that has been pass down to us?

[@epicazeroth]

Do we need to understand AFK Arena to understand Journey?

[@Minsleif]

i don't think so! :"D I haven't played AFK Arena yet! I wouldn't be surprised if Arena helps to understand some back story but so far Journey does a great job explaining the lore!

[@montalvo59]

🎉👏👏👍🏻

[@montalvo59]

Btw; what's the Update on the Samsung Phone competition haven't seen or heard anything about the Results. Please provide details on how it went on a KZbin editions 😅

[@RiiGreyrat]

Excuse me, sis, I want to make an Indonesian version of your summary 🙏 Is it okay? Please give me your permission.

[@ballisticnugget4505]

hi

[@Roadadar]

Watching this so I can just skip it all

[@GamerD00f]

its to bad that the gameplay suuuuuuuuucks...
