If he does make a whole storyline video that explains everything, it’s still going to be hard to understand because the story is just so fucked with all this different dimensions, crews, timelines and storylines bullshit. If you didn’t try to understand what was happening at the start, it’s gonna be a real pain in the ass to understand now.

Hi

[@Darktimesv]

Maybe he put it there in the past knowing what he needed to do in the future? Idk just guessing trying to piece it together.

[@stephaniefeltham]

Richthofen gave it him at the end revelations

[@ExoGhost]

Theory: The lava stone will be used for the Fire Staff. We will get 3 DLC maps where we collect the other 3 stones, and then the Primis crew uses the Staffs to defeat Dr. Monty in DLC 4.

[@topeka321]

ExoGhost good theory but no

[@topeka321]

i’m pretty sure we’re getting another chaos map

[@KekiKeki]

Sir Pookstir you never know we could get a chaos map and a aether map as we aren’t getting multiplayer maps in the DLCs

[@buccigloom]

I Am Cake really?

[@clashroyaledecks6323]

Yes

[@TheTropicanaMan]

I sometimes wonder if Primis Richtofen is still out for a mad power-grab like his Ultimis version’s desire to enter the Aether in the BO1/BO2 arcs. Imagine if this whole attempt to break the cycle was just an elaborate scheme to break Dr. Monty’s control for Richtofen to seize power. It’s a long shot, but Primis Richtofen has been just as secretive and cryptic to his traveling companions as his Ultimis version. The Ultimis version’s attempt to gain control was thwarted by Maxis in Buried (through the Canon ending anyways), so perhaps this Primis arc from BO3/BO4 is a different approach to gain power. The only goal Primis Richtofen has stated is that he hopes to “secure a better tomorrow,” but he hasn’t elaborated on what that “better tomorrow” is. Maybe investing into Nikolai, Takeo, and Dempsey at the end of BOTD’s cutscene (allowing them to read the Kronorium) is a move to gain their trust in order to manipulate them to overthrow Monty (something maybe Richtofen cannot do alone) for Richtofen to seize the Aether again. Seeing the Post-Revelations Richtofen speaking with the Pre-Gorod Krovi Richtofen- how he states, “I wish I could say I was sorry, but I’m not.” He seems more sinister and accomplished in that moment than we’ve ever seen his Primis-version as he proudly holds the Summoning Key. Just a theory I’ve considered.

[@SavageRicktator]

TheTropicanaMan That was good read maybe the Richtofen from post revelations is manipulating them. Putting his trust in Nikolai to follow the Kronorium seems very unsual behavior considering he made them forget about other Richtofen dying . Nobody can be trusted so there is a chance Monty was behind it. This does seem a real possibility with whatever direction it goes in the DLC season

[@Mr.Coldharbour]

Your theory seems rather convincing. His sinister behaviour at the end of the Blood of the Dead easter egg after grabbing the Summoning Key speaks volumes.

[@gradydunkin7439]

Also the shadow man and Monty are constantly saying not to trust Richtofen

That was an excellent in-depth yet concise analysis of the Blood of the Dead story and how it ties in to the rest of the other maps. I still find it incredibly sad that our Primis Richtofen is gone and the lack of empathy from the rest of the crew loudly amplifies that sadness. The amount of symbolism found in the story is astounding. Great job, Jon.

There was a theory going around about richtofins(sorry of spelt wrong) on his scar on his right eye and how hes the original richotofin and this is the one from bo3. The one in blood is another richtofin and the post revelations the one in the cryochamber is the original one. Thats why he doesnt feel bad about him dying. Just a theory i saw and id like your view on this

FOX MAN That is very unlikely. Both Richtofens in the intro and the one you play as don’t have the scar. Post Revelations Richtofen has it signifying that it’s the Richtofen we play as in BO3. Treyarch would never let out such a small detail.

[@rynzller4412]

In the “Primis Completes the Circle” storyline, the Lab where Victis is, is built in dimension 63, where Richtofen used his contacts at the Illuminati to help build the lab. In this storyline the Lab is built in the pocket dimension, so we must conclude that something happened even before the events of BotD that caused this new timeline, perhaps the after-war Richtofen arrived when Richtofen was looking for the blood vials and asked Richtofen to put him in a crio chamber and hide him away from Monty. This would explain why after-war Richtofen didn’t know where he was when he woke up and why the Lab was built in the pocket dimension, so it would be hidden from Monty.

[@Focusedone-yr9ci]

Finally the song makes sense “ where are we going from here “

[@CRBRS]

yup

[@SavageRicktator]

Someone suggested a really amazing idea I thought was worth mentioning. Each DLC season our Primis characters find the crystals and build the ancient staffs. We saw in the ending custscene post revelations Richtofen was holding the fire crystal. Which corresponds to Nikolai holding the fire staff in the great war cinematic. Eventually we confront Monty again in the last map and have an opportunity to put things right this time ending his control

[@MrDalekJD]

I mention that in this video.

[@tigerlilly7070]

On another channel, they talked about how Jason says theres going to be factions in the future, and possible missions for each faction. My thoughts are that each of the characters are splitting up (based on the 4 seperate portals versus the one they came in from, where trying to get to before Brutus broke it) and maybe doing some kind of resistance based thing? I'm not sure what they're doing, but I'm like 85% sure they're splitting up, and the factions are related to that. Or rather, I hope it is.

[@jameshawkes3286]

If you look at Richthofen at the end and through the game he has no scar on his face and then the revaluation Richthofen comes out of ice chamber with scar on his face if you look back in bo3 since Dericendrach he had a scar on his face.

[@devorembo]

OMG_itsjamesyboy explaij

[@ryana10_]

yeah that is strange you would think both would have the scar

[@gregzonetv5570]

But then one way it doesnt make sense since the Richtofen without scar should have one since he did teleport from zetsubo and we all know zetsubo happened after der eisendrache, plus in the giant Richtofen already had the blood vials which means he already had been in MOB/BOD maybe the crew we play as in this map isnt the crew from zetsubo but perhaps the crew before giant and no souls have been preserved in the summing key yet, since we see the summoning key here it would make sense to say that MOB takes places between Shadows of Evil and The Giant

[@nealsonsoum7324]

My theory is- postponed revalation richtophen will be with the crew telling each character what they must do, since richtophen has the fire staff crystal Nikolai will be have to find the original staff for it and on revalations ending cutscene Nikolai is seen holding the fire staff. This mean Dempsey and takeo and postponed revalation richtophen is going to jumping into different maps trying to get the other 3 staff to be used to defeat doctor Monty, shadow man will be helping us since he has talked abt dr Monty being a bad guy I’m thinking they’re both the same they’re evil both apothicons. Nikolai still have his soul meaning Monty doesn’t have complete control to him and he will be powerful and he will be the one defeating dr Monty, Nikolai is going to be the greatest impact in the zombies storyline and he will be the one who will be saving the universe

[@kishrialpha6703]

The achievement is called most escape alive. Most is typically used when talking about majority. Given that there are 9 people alive in the map. 5 on stasis, 4 to play as. You will have to assume for the achievement to be correct more than 5 people would escape. Given all the dimensions and time-gasms that go on and by the wording of the achievement. It can be assumed until proven otherwise that Victus also escaped as they are technically alive.

I think that the post Revelation Richtofen that we see at the end of the Blood of the Dead is a Richtofen that just like the Richtofen we lost in Blood of the dead, he too truly cares about Takeo, Dempsey, and Nikolai. He probably considers them friends and would do whatever it would take to keep them safe. It makes so sense as to why post Revelations Richtofen would be uncaring towards the rest of Primus.

[@peytonsuperales2829]

Maybe they'll have to visit different versions of themselves to ultimately divulge a plan in order to stop doctor Monty once an for all. Maybe it's possible that they all go on a search for the other jewels so that maybe they do power the original staffs and they need them as a means to an end to open the gateway to the house ultimately so they can face Monty. Perhaps the tranzit crew will make an appearance as well because they are supposed to be kept on ice until they are needed next unless that version of them only exists during the events of the pocket dimension they just left. Purely speculation but I'm hyped for where the zombies story goes

I think that when we see the crew go back to the Olden days we see Nikolai wielding the fire staff potentially the crystal that took all the evil from botd my theory is that the olden day Nikolai put his soul in the fire crystal because his soul is good enough to rid evil but in doing so he had to sacrifice himself therefore richtofen was sent to the cryo chamber and to stop the new Nikolai from losing his soul but instead to use it to defeat dr Monty but why not just use the crystal you may say maybe it’s not too powerful and that maybe Nikolai has to merge with dr Monty to rid dr Monty’s body of evil
