The Butcher | Hunt: Showdown Lore

[@Durivative]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I always thought Butcher was just a slightly stronger Meathead! It's lore is so fuckin' cool!

[@HazmatFTW]

Well I guess technically he is haha

[@theargonianmercenary184]

A mad taxidermist creating him was such a wonderful nod to Frankenstein!

[@bcboyd6396]

its quite funny how in lore these generals of the sculptor are death incarnate, but in game there are hunters beating them to death with their bare hands and not taking a hit in the process

[@HazmatFTW]

You're right, it's a funny contrast. Every monster in the game is significantly more powerful within the lore. The Hives for examples are absolute monsters, containing immense swarms of bees probably fifty times larger than what we see.

[@NoobWonderWaffle]

@@HazmatFTW if you really think about the Hunters in lore have to be badass to kill the monters in hunt:showdown not say that the ingame on aren’t cool, but it’s interesting.

[@whoppanator]

Right, not taking a hit. -Squelches the butchers flames burning away at his healthbar-

[@DanielHusherIII]

well in a way its survival the weak hunters die off the stronger ones survive that's how the world works

[@Quickandslick]

The butcher is super easy bro. I have killed him running solo with a stim shot and a ball bat. You have to time your attacks between his rage fits and you can avoid him if you time it just right without ever taking damage ​@@whoppanator

[@jackpollard550]

Oh man, that bit about the protective coating keeping his work from the house fire-genius! What an amazing little twist that informs both the story, and gameplay!

[@HazmatFTW]

Yes! It's such a little detail that adds so much :))

[@jonathanflood4545]

I'm currently jobless due to an injury so I don't have a lot of money to offer, but I wanted to say I'm so happy to run across your channel again! Hopefully once I start making money I can help you once again! Thank you!!!!!

[@HazmatFTW]

Aw, man.. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I really appreciate it. It means more than you can imagine. But please, think of yourself first of all. Times are tough and you don't need to worry about me ❤️ I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you get back on track soon!

[@Nionyx]

And people say Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein had no influence on future horror. Amazing job as always, looking forward to whatever you’ve got planned next!!

[@HazmatFTW]

Great point, and thank you so much. Much more to come - don't you worry :D

[@pickleboy_5597]

Who is saying this?

[@Nionyx]

@@pickleboy_5597 a lot of people, I’ve heard it in my English Lit class and when she released the book while it was a big success many people claimed it wasn’t horror once they found out Shelly was a woman

[@rossp106]

​@@Nionyx it isn't really horror though. Its a gothic novel which borrows themes from horror, but it isn't a horror novel.

[@pensador6953]

seriously man, i have to commend you on the atmosphere you are cooking here. Creepy, somber, but with a hint of panache fits the bill perfectly.

[@HazmatFTW]

Oh my god, I have to give you a 10 out of 10 for using the word panache! lol that literally made my day. Thank you 😁❤

[@pensador6953]

@@HazmatFTW You are welcome keep up the good work. BTW, you will be giving the story of the rotjaw? Being trying to find his lore on youtube, no one is doing that, just showing how to take him down.

[@georgekostaras]

i genuinely love the editing you do. The bad taxidermy would normally look hilarious, but with your narration and a black and white filter it looked creepy and unsettling.

[@HazmatFTW]

Thank you, George. I appreciate that :))

[@IrishPython]

Always amazing to come back and see more and new stuff, well done Hazmat you remain the king of presenting Hunt lore! Also excited to see if you cover Serpent's moon and the Viper once that's over

[@HazmatFTW]

Thank so much for your kind comment. I really appreciate that :)) More to come, don't worry ❤️

[@bubonicmccc]

The second already?! I’m so excited

[@soviettoaster_9323]

I walk into the saloon once more. I found the hunter again after he had disappeared for many days. I sit down in front of him expressing my relief that he is alright. *He lifts his right sleeve repealing severe burns along the arm and spreading to the torso* “Was busy at the doctors.. they patched me up.” *I express my concern but he shrugs it off* “Salveskin comes in handy when facing the butcher” I tilt my head in confusion and ask “some butcher did this to you?” He looks at me and shakes his head *I sigh and buy him a drink, he smiles as he chugs it. He wipes his mouth and puts his mask back on* “It was no man. Not anymore I had lost my partner to this beast. Let me tell you.. it’s origins, and it’s… talents”

[@HazmatFTW]

Oh, how I've missed these 😁❤️

[@edwardmorrissette5817]

Is it bad that I think your sick voice enhanced the video

[@Nobelnaga]

So the protective coating makes it basically immune to fire? that is awesome!

[@HazmatFTW]

Yes! Exactly!

[@widdrshinswonders]

It would be neat if Crytek would add a bottle of the oil/coating as a consumable to prevent catching on fire.

[@megakatt131]

Why do the taxidermid animals look more terrifying than anything from the actual game.

I'm actually working on that as we speak! I've been registered with two companies so far. They'll contact me in anything opens up :))

[@darkanddryhumour1822]

Hey out of curiosity. When. You narrate is that your real voice or do you use a voicemod? Your voice is literally perfect for this type of story and general theme of the setting.

This is my natural voice:))

[@TheTendercrisp]

Sticky bomb and poison ammo ftw

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

@@TheTendercrisp never understood how poison would actually kill the butcher in real life. But then if all those various creatures did exist in real life then why shouldn't poison work on them right?

[@shreihals9314]

But what is the butchers job? The assasins is apparently a spy which i gathered from ur assasin video

[@HazmatFTW]

That's a great question. Some think the Butcher is responsible for providing organic material to the Sculptor, though we have no evidence of this. Others think that it is the blunt brute force of the Sculptor. The vanguard of the corruption, which would make sense as the lore considers this thing to be close to invincible.

[@bubsterr741]

So how does that explain there being multiple butchers?

[@HazmatFTW]

We don't know about that. We can only speculate based on the lore. There exists multiple bosses, but only one of each at a time. Several people have produced evidence of killing the spider, but it always returns after being banished. We assume the Sculptor clones them

[@bubsterr741]

@HazmatFTW ah yes that would make sense. Perhaps banishment is only temporary and it is the same entity re occurring. I'm only just now getting back into this game and never really knew the lore. Glad I found your channel!
