Hey all, just wanted to say thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed the video!

So, Solomon's Plan inscription seems to suggest that his brother consumed the gland from the earth temple, unsuccessfully guarded by Harden, and you are the earth revered born anew. Makes sense with the you being glandless bit. Seems interesting.

Love the video. One thing I’d say is maybe turn down the background noise just a touch or change it entirely. There are plenty of good eerie ambient audios you can use out there to fit these types of videos better.

Another interesting theory I guessed through Solomon's gameplay; his high resolve also benefits heavy use of parries. Is it possible that Solomon used the tarnished seal to cage his brother before he died?
@_robo4 жыл бұрын
Fantastic theory! That actually didn't occur to me, but it makes sense and seems to align with the developers beta lore. The tarnished seal also has a similar runic glow to Solomon's armor, which is something we don't see anywhere else in the game.

If Solomon chained the old prisoner, then how could the old prisoner murder him? Further evidence toward Harros I guess... I think the fact that Harros killed Solomon as he headed towards the multitude of tablets (where Harros didn't really wanna go) makes sense also.

He could have mortally wounded him. This is a death sentence and makes more sense as to why he would be able to do the etching as well. Sometimes a wound could take days to kill.

That last piece of text explained everything. Looking back now after completing the game, one finds that Hadern is a teacher and caretaker of the foundling and his kin. Solomon, knowing the fate of his brother and himself, chose to lure his obsessed sibling out of the great library and imprison him in Hadern’s fort…home. It explains why he is found not far from the main hub. Though we can’t be sure it was the prisoner that killed him, it could have also been the ghoul (can’t remember the enemy’s actual name) given he stated they were to quick for him. Maybe he was exhausted from imprisoning his brother, or perhaps even wounded and the ghoul finished him off.

Also, assumedly the Sister that helps you through your jurney also saw Dark Father's transformation. She mentions "Heretic who drunk too deeply" which with this lore and some speculations might talk about The Old Prisoner (aka Dark Father). On the other hand she might be talking about the Accolyte who went mad and died due to overusing the tar to see his god.

I think she's talking abt the Dark Father. Only because I don't think she'd describe Tiel as a heretic.

@@masterzoroark6664 yeah, I wasn't thinking abt that. I was also unclear as to when he knew Genessa. I wish I'd had dove a little more into the lore. I never really went back and read it, even though I thought it was super interesting and cool. I think i could gather that he met her after he started getting sick, and she tried to convince him to go back to his temple? Im gonna look back on all that.

I do find it a bit interesting to know that Solomon seemed to be the only character who mentions Hadern's existence. But if it isn't canon that he does, it was still interesting to know that he would've probably been the only one who knew Hadern before the foundling

I wonder if the etches are remnants from past cycles. The same story playing out over and over again. Yet slightly different each time. Would that explain Solomon’s contradictions? He’s not seeing the future. He’s seeing the preceding cycles.

I also was pretty sure it was harros that killed Solomon. In Harros’ memories he speaks about a scholar babbling and not making sense to him at first but it ended up all that he said was true, referring to who I thought was Solomon. Which would also explain how they are linked by death because they are both shells of the foundling.
@SolusDarkcoat3 жыл бұрын
The old prisoner did not kill Solomon, that makes no sense. As far as the Dark Father's purpose goes? They're most likely referring to the fact that his hunt for glands, will guide the naive foundling in their ascension. Also, the choice of music for this character is atrocious.
