Signalis, Mynah Complete Lore Explanation

[@huismands]

I wonder if the original Gestalt for the Mynah units may have been a child: more specifically a little girl. Seeing as their fetish object is a stuffed animal, they are very motherly (perhaps the Gestalt girl liked playing with baby dolls) and they don't need to write diaries like the other Replicas (or perhaps they can't write very well, seeing as the Gestalt hadn't learned to write yet). They are also said to be unsuitable for combat. To me it all points to this conclusion, and it would also fit with AEON's/Eusan's cruelty and disregard for human life and suffering.

[@huismands]

That could also explain why people find them adorable :)

[@Cristiferbeast]

Hm, curious take, it can be added to by their inability to handle violence

[@thedesignerblacksmith5953]

Well if a child can be in a project like this, then a normal human can also be, right? Like, their mental are very stable and they're easy to be happy, that's weird for a child, as we usually think of them as impatient and this job in a mine is really boring, day by day and really harsh(as we have read notes about punishment). Maybe some boom boom in the mine? But they're not boys. Beo's dialogue is also very adulterous, especially when she thinks that if she die, there will be other to replace her I think she's more of a pacifist or a mother. A mother, who hate violence and stuffed animal for her child. About the diary, maybe they didn't build to be easy to write or hold small stuffs

wasnt there a combat version of the mynah discussed, the Schnapper model

[@givemeshrubs4295]

@@silent-_-hill15 Yes! He mentions it at 4:09. But the Shnapper uses a 'combat-capable persona', implying that they upload a different personality to the combat models - likely because the standard MNHR isn't mentally equipped for violence. This could indicate the original personality was a child, but to me it makes more sense for her to be a mother - whose kid likely had a teddy bear.

[@yassinefarah2423]

Of all mutations it's horrific to see the Mynah's face just vanish in a splash of blood aswell as Elster taking parts from a dead Elster to repair herself, the definition of body horror.

[@serverllegion6184]

Yea and the implication that they may be infested with “worms” and are being eaten from the inside and are letting the worms out when the face plate opens wile suffering immensely from the neural degradation

[@spaghettiwizard830]

​@@serverllegion6184 it's cancerous oxidant if I'm not mistaken. Meaning they aren't being eaten, their being liquefied inside the suit

[@GiggsTheWanderer]

The actual military model of the MNHR replika is probably hell to fight

[@Mankey619]

BEO is one of the only Replikas that you find the most depressing about the world of Signalis. The fact she accepts her fate of dying, and knowing that she’ll be replaced with another one. Just like how ELSTR feels when she’s been constantly killed and recreated so many times now. Replaceable or not they’re still humans in a machine like bodies.

[@Oldage429]

It should be noted that the rifle can damage the Mynah in Nowhere even when she isn't in her damage phase, which makes sense as it's stated to use a 'ridiculous anti-armor round'. On standard it took me two shots from the rifle with the target square at it's smallest size

[@Cristiferbeast]

Yeah, the rifle can anti-armor all types. Both the Star Shields and Mynah Armor

[@onthespiral4054]

Important to note: She knows her name as “Beo”, another unit in the mines remember their name as well. Those closer to the “bottom” aka the truth, the more they remember them true selves.

[@jakegordon1575]

Replikas actually just get names for themselves often, I don’t think that’s the name of her nueral pattern donor.

[@a.k8185]

​@@jakegordon1575 The Eules sure did come up with various.

[@thedesignerblacksmith5953]

It's pure pain. She's huge, she's like a mother(and that's the best part), she's very kind with us, unlike the others. And then her unit, theoretically, get eaten from inside out. That's painful for my heart I wonder why there is a unit of her kind up there as a boss, like how did they come up there The other question being why Beo gets damaged down there. My thought is, because she can't handle violence, she gets attack by other corrupted unit. Although it's kinda weird when we think about her as a bulletproof unit

[@OverlordOfEcchi]

Disregard the Eldritch abomination in the mineshaft. Get a forklift certification and go pick up Beo 🦾

[@batzgameguru]

Mynahs introduction in the game was actually cool and memorable

[@aaronatkinson177]

Not to mention pretty scary because you literally see her face melt in a pool of blood before fighting her 😨

[@thedesignerblacksmith5953]

Now that I'm thinking, I need an artwork of a Mynah unit with stuffed animals

[@Rohtix]

I was so disappointed that I could give her my repairs.

[@waroonh4291]

BEO is too good to die like that.

[@SparklySnuggly]

Mynah is pronounced as "Mai-nah", similar to "miner"

[@MIron992]

Beo my beloved

[@NohrScum]

I didn't know her face fell off. I thought it was symbolic of her losing all semblance of what she once was

[@FullThrottleTaco]

Such a deserving game of deep dives. Thank you for the vids.

[@WickedSickness]

Hello there this is a random take for this videos content but I wanted to ask if you thought they reason why the promise ending is tied to killing almost all enemies is because you're essentially making everyone *whole again* as the commander stated to us during the end of the game... putting all memories and emotions together again.

[@Cristiferbeast]

That’s a great take, and certainly could be the case!

[@TheTiredTortoise]

I'm loving these lore videos, you always go above and beyond cheers

[@batzgameguru]

Beos conversation was so sad

[@thescratchyscratch7848]

The Mynah units are my favourite I think they’re adorable in a weird way, I feel bad for the one you find in the mine.

[@batzgameguru]

Facts

[@joseangelmendeznava4035]

Man I played it on console with survival mode and tanky controls and take me like 15 hours cause some puzzle made me go back and here and there and I got the memory ending :'v if I knew wasting time would affect my ending i wouldn't have gone stealthy but I feel bad killing all the replikas

[@Walterbennet3697]

They could have made it to where you could have repaired her, and she would fight along at your side. Probably be to op.

[@silent_stalker3687]

Beo(wulf)

[@yenmeng]

oh true

[@AVeryAngryIronWarrior]

Anti panzer means anti tank sooo that model is a military model

[@GiggsTheWanderer]

Stripes

[@scottyxscxrs5483]

Wait wait wait. I’ve completed two ending, looked at a lot of lore, but THERES HP in this game???

[@NohrScum]

Its a shame we didnt get to meet the combat version of Mynah thats mentioned in their document.

[@Mashiris]

They’re so cute :c

[@kiraboolink]

how you use that orange costume ? that a mod ?

[@Cristiferbeast]

Its the debug menu, which i have a vid up explaining how to access on PC!

[@Jurgir09]

There are no worms in this game. They added tbat just to be safe

[@Cristiferbeast]

Debatable, especially since the "blood" coming out of Mynah units, moves and slitters outwards after falling on the ground, and is a slightly different color then the normal corrupted and normal blood

[@booboothefool3342]

Wait, why did that ones face MELT off? They have faces?

[@fafflytailslogisonicuite104]

It's probably just a dramatization effect used to signify that she is '' corrupted'' in a way, so that you can know that the ressonance has affected her severely.

[@juanblanco7898]

They've got some Big Daddy vibes to them, imo.

[@euphoricexpanse2740]

They look like Elster
