PoE 2 - He Might Have Figured How to Spawn Citadels... Lily Reacts to

[@BehindEyesGamingPOE]

Hey, thanks for sharing. I have done a bunch more testing with the corpses and I'm leaning more towards them not actually meaning anything at this point. I think I just got a couple in a row with very convenient placements that made me think they were important so I really latched onto them. The corruption part still seems right though so far. Up to 22 citadels found so far

[@Keoke_07]

@@apathyreaper5323this guy just debunked the dead bodies. He didn’t debunk the corrupted towers. I haven’t done any testing myself, but considering I haven’t seen a single citadel yet, and he has over 20, I’m going to go with that there needs to be SOME truth to the corrupted towers theory.

[@piskipa]

As a game dev, the chance that props inside of a map have anything to do with the overworld map outside of the instance is pretty much 0. No way the devs added that level of persistance between 2 VERY different systems.

[@szamidevyt]

You are 100% right

[@epyjacek]

Not a game dev, but I do work in software development. I fully agree, I don't see anyone in my team going this far with a clearer more intuitive solution potentially available. Devs like efficiency above most other things in my experience.

[@MightyPringer]

You do have to walk up stairs to get to where the corpses are tho. So it could be using a different proc gen method then the rest of the map...

[@-sleepy-]

lol, it would be easy to do but in this case he's completely wrong

[@nicholasiverson9784]

They cook pretty hard at GGG. Like the lighting effects applying fire degens in act 3. I doubt they'd do that, but they're the sort that might xD

[@applesauce1230]

With all the videos complaining about citadel spawn rate right now people should be more schizo trying to see if theres some pattern to finding them for sure. Even just the idea about seeing the corrupted towers through the fog might be helpful, it is kind of funny how schizo these citadels are making people though lmao.

[@breakthecode4634]

The funny part is he is 100% right. Tried after being skeptical and I'm just looking for my 3rd now after finding none before.

[@Buggolious]

I love the crackpot theory he cooked up, honestly I do kinda believe it because we just don't have any fucking clue on citadel spawns

[@epyjacek]

100% I love this type of thing. This is Exiles working together.

[@madcow5833]

I think the movement speed and the T1 maps might be the significant variables here.

[@jgmweston]

BehindEyesGaming does great videos, glad to see him get more attention.

[@G3RCSI]

We have stones that show the direction to to run in act one and the bog movement in eater of worlds fight for the direction of portal. Corpses or brooms might not be wrong

[@LazyPandaBum]

Yeah but that's within the same zone though. This level of persistence between randomly generated objects within a map and the world map itself has never been discovered in the game prior. It'd make more sense if the two objects are connected in some way, but a broom pointing to a citadel? I bet the devs are laughing their asses off right now.

[@dailybs555]

20:30 the big pack of corpses are pointing towards the citadel, the smaller packs or single corpses might be maps of interest and smaller packs of corpses may not spawn if the staircase interferes, thats my theory from all of this.

[@cyliemyrus]

When you get to the top of the towers, those bodies that's laying near the waypoint indicate what direction you have to go and how close or how far it is relative to how close the body is to the waypoint. If the body is close to the wp, the citadel is close, if it's far then it's a good ways away.

[@redrabbit8059]

the corrupted thign works, the zombies in the towers do not, at least not exactly. The brooms are actually kind of working, they and the stateues seem to have something to do with the citadels

Corpses are probably fixed for a specific tiles which happen to be neighbors of a tile that generate a citadel, the citdels are probably generated first then maps around it.

[@epicadventureturtle1363]

You have to go to Mount Chiliad and let Bigfoot lead you to the truck. Mew is under there, do his quest and you will get a citadel spawn in the next 2 screens.

[@laizerwoolf]

They should make citadels visible through the fog, like towers.

[@txcr6178]

Slipperyjim already did a video debunking this, the madlad.

[@kylemenos]

Jim is abit of a psychopath so I dunno if he is all their to get the truth but I do look forward to watching his 30 min long rant about falling over and having a cat eat his food while explaining this theory.

[@15kalas15]

He didn't debunk anything 😂😂😂

[@xhandhele]

One thing i think people are forgetting is that he was using T15 maps in the towers. Lily was using T13's. Maybe using T15 maps in the towers are the trick to accurately pathing and making citadels spawn.

[@mikemike6182]

Yea i agree too, because most streamer just putting t1 into tower thinking it's not worth it to waste map there

[@-sleepy-]

lmao bro he's already in schizo territory and you're trying to add even more nonsensical layers to it, no way

[@andyfibb]

its probly not corrupted towers, but the corrupted maps in general, since it seems tehy are just randomly corrupted throughout the atlas, and you cannot force corrupted maps.

[@epyjacek]

This is the video stuff I like. I saw his video last night. I need to see Jims. I love it when Exiles try to work together to figure things out.

[@Freudian.Kickflip]

Broom, broom, broom Find the citadel where they lie, the victims of doom

[@Abraktil]

maybe just the zone where you have more ppl means it's the direction to go to find the citadel and like 2 ppl means you're too far and 4-5 means it's very close.

[@VictorSantos-hu2vp]

Actually, according to the tests I've done, seems like the number of corpses in a given direction represents if you are closer to a citadel and how close you are (according to the numbers of corpses).. This info seems to be valid for any tower, not only the corrupt ones. I've tested also in a dead end (node with no further connections), there were no corpses at all in the tower.. just sharing thoughts.. Thanks for the video.

[@Sangramoire]

Lol, love the enthusiasm from that guy but the chances of the corpse spawns being connected to the atlas is essentially zero. The only way they could possibly share some similarity from a development perspective is if the same algorithm to spawn the corpses was used to procedurally generate the atlas and even then, they would still be generated separately.

[@clwaschkowsky]

Those broomsticks definitely mean something

[@mathiasjacobsen8433]

Staying close to coasts have been working for me. The last 4 citadels i've found didn't really have any corrupted towers close to them

The solution is really simple, just follow the toucan. It will show you the way to the next citadel.

[@EtBr1978]

This is a high level conspiracy he is uncovering there!

[@Mana_Thief]

Honestly this the type of ish I hoped for with PoE2, that mysterious part of the game where someones gotta make a video revealing some secret tech. Sure, build guides used to do that in the old days, but now it's almost expected that ppl will make cracked builds. Really hoped GGG would lean a bit more into mysterious mechanics (Like Vaal orbs when they were first introduced or vendor recipes, etc. lol ) but :shrug:

[@MiniMae99]

People mentioned 1 person PewDiePie

[@zerasfenris4237]

i preffer the other method - follow the water and look for mountains since thats where they seem to spawn

[@teeq985]

[@tikakomatsu1787]

You dont have to die to reset maps, just portal out and click the map you were doing and open a new one, you still lose every icon/mechanic on the map though (Like boss, breach, ritual...) just as if you failed the map.

[@JamesFuston]

The corpses are just straight up cope from people wanting citadels to be more common. If you go 2.5 screens away you have a pretty good chance of coming across a citadel mathematically Unfortunately a lot of citadels are spawning inside mountains on the atlas layout, I think a lot of people are missing them because of that

[@TheSeth256]

Yes, I want citadels to be more common, currently have played for 200 hours with zero citadels found...

[@JamesFuston]

@@TheSeth256 Make sure you're not just zooming past them. They can frequently spawn inside mountains and aren't totally obvious if you don't know what you're looking for

[@Raven3557]

The only thing I need to do to check is how the towers I have behave because I spawned in the bottom left corner of the map , I see the edges lol If any corpse points outside of the map then the theory is off

[@kaedeharakazuha2003]

it literally work... I played poe 2 for literally 200 hours maybe 150 in the end game? but I haven't a single citadel yet... but after I tried to path towards the corrupted tower literally after that I found the citadel

[@breakthecode4634]

Hes right actually i was skeptical but following the corpses straight up point to citadels and corrupted towers. Also clearing corrupted towers isn't a theory really dorianni literally say. "What are still doing here go clear the corruption." Like the game says to go do that.

[@WeCrackAllGames]

I think the trick is to run T15's on the towers. Citadels are needed to fight the pinnacle boss, so it makes 0 sense to spawn citadels for someome that is running T1 maps because he is not strong enough.

[@araen11]

Nope, never ran t15 tower, found a few citadels regardless

[@sotirisvoulgaris1828]

@@araen11 how did you find those citadels? did you anything spesific method. anything you say will be helpfull cause i got no idea

[@WeCrackAllGames]

@@araen11 Interesting, did you go in a straight line? Maybe they are just not close to the starting point and that's the trick. I'm pretty sure they implemented some mechanics because citadels for someone that runs T1 or other lower maps doesn't make any sense.

@WeCrackAllGames that could be true. Yes I had to go about 10 screens from the start until I found the first one. (Or about 300 maps) After that, I find them every now and then.

[@bloobzor]

Honestly, whether this is all accurate or not, GGG should do something EXACTLY like this, having a way to navigate towards points of interest that isn't just some big blinking arrow telling you where to go (like most modern games), but instead a cool in game way of locating things would be perfect for this kind of game design, and the idea that you have to figure out the direction to go, through eerie corpses clearly laid out in a specific pattern is very immersive and right up the games atmospheric design (with the whole vaal human sacrifice and what not)
