The fridge door mystery is a hard nut to crack...

[@AHandleFul]

I’ve been playing for 6 years, and I’ve always thought those were just night lights. 😂

[@valentine1861]

HAHA Same 😂😂

[@moonyok]

I’ve been playing since 2016 and i can relate

[@RiverPonies]

Haha same I also thought they were just night lights, I never really payed much attention to them, lol. But these theories are so good it's all making more sense to me now

[@_roadworkahead__5165]

SAME

[@RiverPonies]

@jayla ponywolf yes apparently they're not night lights

[@ganonsimp1368]

I remember back in 2018 sso released the Halloween update and there was a Halloween party at the purple pony in the mall. You could talk to lots of different NPCs but Emma said something really interesting. The last thing she talked about was something that happened to her in the goldenleaf forest. She said that she was cleaning the racetrack in the forest when she heard machine noises. She assumed it was Jasper working with the machines at his farm, but then she looked up and seen a bright, glowing yellow light and a creature with dark hooves. I can't remember what she said word for word so I could have missed something. In the saving Nightdust quests Mr Anwir injects himself with the Mortuus Spiritus serum, which turns him into a beast with dark hooves. At the very end of the quests Darko shows up with two other DC goons and tells them " load him onto the ship! we'll find a use for him. Dark Core's Nightmare Institute can never have too many monsters". I think that the Nightmare institute is under the fridge doors but that's not the only thing. I heard someone say that in the second soul riders book Jessica follows Alex and thinks about the Dark Star. That is probably where the dark riders are from and the placement of the hatches make up to a star. So It could also be where the dark riders are supposed to stand during the Dark Ceremony. I'm assuming that Mr Sands would be the one to stand at the hidden fifth point. So, uh those are my two theories. I haven't managed to find the dialog from that Halloween thing, which sucks, because it really sounded like I was making it up. UPDATE: I found another piece of evidence in the latest story quest "One of our Witches". When we speak to Valdemar Buttergood through his front door, he says that Scott "Speaks of mysteries of all manners; UFOs, cryptids, secret tunnels beneath Jorvik connecting to an institute of corrupt creatures." Although it's just one line, this could prove that the Nightmare Institute is indeed beneath the hidden doors! I mean, the wording of it just makes it seem so obvious, so I highly doubt that they would be alluding to anything else.

[@SophieTheAiredale]

This is actually a great theory! I might add that the fifth star is supposedly at pine hill Mansion, where Mr. Sands lives.

[@eleanornightwalker]

That is really really interesting! 🙊 might wanna look into that!

Good one I think your right

[@hanaadimohamed2703]

when u get close to one of the fridge doors it is almost like u can hear footsteps down there... Sooo creepy

[@asjaburgic6764]

You can also hear like a train sound, like it's underground train station and it creeps me out. Whenever I play with sounds on I try to avoid these door 😖

[@eleanornightwalker]

There are so many different interpretations of those sounds... a lot of people claim to hear someone banging at the door or even screaming.. I personally think that it sounds like someone working down there, like machinery and stuff, I just really wonder what they're working on 🤔🤔 are they digging tunnels, are they building something or is it something much more sinister or something else entirely?

[@asjaburgic6764]

@@eleanornightwalker I personally think that GED/Dark Core use these doors as tunels and that, probably, they go underwater meaning that it could be a "path" they're creating for Garnok. Also, it sounds like there's a train below and you can kinda hear it before Dark Core music starts (like you said, hard machinery and transporting stuff - maybe important for freeing Garnok from his cage). And there has to be explanation on why when you run over these doors, music follows no matter how much you moved from the door (but it never finishes, just abruptly stops when you move far enough - like a construction site but underground one). I love your videos and theories, they're really great 🤗💕

[@alanwoodcock6796]

I never go close to them

[@Rosemaryfriedchicken]

Personaly, It Clearly Sounds Like Someone Banging On A Door, But Thats How I Interpret It. Im Not Verry Good With Theories Yet But Personaly, Someone Could Be Workign There, Or Possibly Trapped In There? Just A Thought 😊

[@fabiancsernak1763]

I have two theory about these doors. First: The fridge doors are in the game because they are connected to the little stars that we can collect in the game. Second: The doors are connected to the light ceremony. Cause we got the one piece of the Light Ceremony Book in Jon Jarl's cave, where is another rock door with on a STAR. We hadn't open that rock door since the beggining of the game. My theory is that if the Soulriders are gonna do the Light ceremony, they have to do with right. (Stars) But, Mr. Sands want to do the Lightceremony BACKWARD, maybe that strange simbole is represents the Ligh ceremony in bacwards? 🤔🤔

[@SophieTheAiredale]

Possibly, that’s a good theory.

[@njuhna]

Thats a really good theory!

[@catgirlseliph]

Yeah but wouldn't it look more ancient?

[@eleanornightwalker]

Ooh, that's a good theory! I might look into that! 😊👍

[@alanwoodcock6796]

Good thinking

[@lvrlark]

My Theory: Somewhere in pandoria, I feel like I’ve seen the “GED” symbol thing. I can’t remember where, but I believe it was by the gems where Anne was captive. I see that symbol pop up places, like on the doors, pandoria, the wine cellar (before the trainee quest), and Jon Jarl. I used to be a glitcher, so I would glitch into places. Once I glitched into Devils Gap (idk if that’s what it is called, but the closed door in Jarl) and I saw that symbol. I personally believe that the symbol is connected through Dark Core, and the 5th Star Peak is supposed to represent The Light Ride/Ceremony. But the Dark Riders are attempting to make it a “Dark Ride/Ceremony” if you get what I mean by that- I also believe that our starter horses will “pass” away, as there are many game files labeled “horse death” with many random numbers. That is why we are getting the Rune Runner, as a temporary replacement for our starters. If you look at the Rune Runners markings, they are very “curvy” and in my theory, represent the abilities our character has, as they have all 4. The Soul Riders are known for their ability, and I’ve noticed that whatever the ability/symbol of the riders, the coloring of their Star Breed Horse (Tin-Can, Starshine, Meteor, and Concorde) kind of go with their ability. (Example: Alex- Lightning. Tin-Can is a yellowish color) and maybe the Rune Runner has something to do with ours? At night I can hear banging against the fridge doors, screaming, and yelling. In the Saving Nightdust quest, after Darko shows up, he mentions “Dark Core Nightmare Institute” like another person said, I believe the Nightmare Institute is below the doors. Back to the star breeds. There were ORIGINALLY 4 soul riders, a door for each. But now that our character has come into play, there are 5. And the 5th peak of the Star is for us. There are also 5 main Dark Riders. Katja, Elise, Sabine, Jessica, And Darko. In my theory, Darko was a “replacement” for Katja when she went “missing”. Darko and Katja being the two most powerful, theoretically speaking. I believe Katja, will stand at the hidden peak, and the other 4 placed at the others, with Mr. Sands somewhere in the middle of the Star. This will then open a sort of “portal” to allow Garnok to enter Jorvik. That was a lot holy- that is basically my theory. Kinda all over the place LOL

[@frankie_airo]

the starter horse theory is so good!!! THAT TOTALLY MAKES SENSR

[@minimoonie6431]

Omg YES U LEGEND

[@giamendez6939]

YASS

[@maplemarblez]

Yes i think we will have the rune runner when our horse pass away and then maybe in the quests later they come back to us? Like when our starter horse flew when we saved justin?

[@Mossssssssssssssssssssssssssss]

@@maplemarblez No, you still have your starter with the Rune Runner

[@agoldendahlia3261]

You know that quest at the manor in the wine cellar basement? A trainee digs a tunnel into the wine storage room. What if these doors are entrances to these tunnel? In that quest it did say they were trying to tunnel further through North Link. And we eventually use these to get us to Mystic Valley for the first time until we get trailers? And the creepy music maybe some sort of spirit or something wanders the tunnels. Or the fridge doors could be secret tunnels that Dark Core uses to spy on us more secretly?

[@ariuthere]

I did this quest. I did it without my game sound on so i didn't notice this but i do remember that in the dialogue it said something about northlink...

[@marsiepan]

Yeah. I did this quest again recently. What if we were never meant to see that, and they were just going to hide it so they can use it?

[@maplemarblez]

It definitely could be that drilling machine, the sound

[@marsiepan]

This doesn't really help but here: Me and my friends have been looking at these doors for a while. We logged on late at night 1:28am to be precise, and we went to all the separate ones. We heard machinery, footsteps, mumbling(?) and faint screams. The screams were weird though as if they were muffled or distorted. The footsteps would get louder, and then quieter and then stop for a bit. The mumbling ended up being gibberish, literally, someone going hiumasngdgdsaetfd😂 So we ended up not finding anything but thought maybe the "people down there" had been working on something huge. We thought maybe a UFO, to replace the crashed one? And the light? That was the "people" turning on the lights down there to continue working. That's all we've got for now, but I hope this gets solved soon! ;D

[@maplemarblez]

Its weird how its like multiple sounds combined and you cant really distinguish them individually they are like mushed together

[@beq4797]

Exactly ha

[@TheOnlySilverUnicorn]

Was it at 1:28 or was it at 1:08? This is a reference to the TV show LOST, which also had hatches on the island.

[@hazelponyriver3310]

That's very interesting. I've heard that you can hear noises coming from those fridge doors in the middle of the night.

[@RimFaxxe]

I always thought they were just a light source for the night instead of lamps

[@eleanornightwalker]

I thought so too when I first started playing the game, but I found it really strange that I could only find like one or two of them in the entire world, and that they seemed so randomly placed.. I mean, if they were night lights, you'd think they had more of them along the roads or something.. And then I started watching youtube videos and heard about this mystery, and that's when I really got intrigued 🙊

[@sezuisa]

It doesn‘t really help in solving the mystery, but I‘ve just thought about the fact that the doors light up every night and the whole night. If they really are doors to some kind of underground network, that would mean that someone - or something - is keeping them in constant use. You could say something is living right beneath you as you walk across Jorvik... creepy.

[@unicorn-pq7le]

May be the hole crater in the unreleased area is big portal like how there were big cracks in silver glade once which led to pandoria. Or maybe garnok is trapped there and one day he will try to get out of there.

[@laylaandrea222]

Anvitha V there’s nothing down there

[@luci9407]

Layla Batclaw yeah but the area is unfinished.

[@Piparoodle]

I think that garnok could be in there which links to my thought too, the star company could be about taking garnok from Jorvick and they are good but GED could be changing their minds in teaming with dark core and they are joining with 'the star company' and those doors are where the 'star company' are planning to battle garnok and at night they obviously need to turn on the light so they can see the blue prints, Lisa could be previously from 'the star company' yet dark core tried to put her in a trance so she doesn't know she was part of it, the trance didn't fully work but yet it somehow turned her to human! As it did not fully work she had the feeling to join the druids\ soul riders. Now she is returning to work against garnok. I don't have think that anything in game points to this but I think it could be possible.

[@Piparoodle]

I think it is Lisa who went in a trance because she is from the star circle

[@unicorn-pq7le]

Wow everyone has good points !!!

[@eleanorlaw3970]

It's called a hatch. There's an achievement in the journal to find all four. A hatch is basically a trapdoor in the ground, and there is a subway underneath. That's why you can hear the sounds. The footsteps/rumbling sounds is actually the subway going through.

[@RiverPonies]

That makes sense, but why would there be a subway under Jorvik and we know nothing about it and no one mentions it?

[@waving7083]

River Ponies maybe it’s like a secret one that only dark core or ged know of, and that’s why no one mentions it?

[@RiverPonies]

@@waving7083 hmmm good point

[@kristenburnside]

hmmm i near thought of that

[@flowercollector9013]

Ok but why the creepy music starts playing when you get near them then?

[@Sunny-oc1de]

I have a theory: So there are the corner of the stars and if we would draw a line from them, it would end up in the middle, where I think the Everwind Fields( where the oil was). So I think it still has something to do with it. Another theory: When we finally have/find the last door, then we have to go down and go in the tunnels, race againist the dark riders, and we have to get first to the middle, which I think there is something in it(I think it’s under the Everwind fields) Third theory: The soul riders will tell us a story, we will have to find/make things to open these doors. I think there will be tunnels/stairs that will take us deeper, and maybe there will be a portal that could maybe take us to the another door. I think it will be important because maybe we will have to sneak in there and run from the dark rider or the opposite, they run we follow. These are my theories, and sorry for my English I’m not good at it. :)

[@maplemarblez]

I think youre right about something being in the middle of the star

[@hannahduskgirl]

The theory is so hard to crack! I've seen so many different problems, especially Northena's star-themed theory.

[@mbvwhhe145]

this is what I think, 1.i think because garnok seems to be immortal, he could be a lab experiment or something and he has this plan to make more versions of himself and break free so that he has control of jorviks power. And jorvik's power is in the rune stones and deep in the island so maybe they made several labs under the fridge doors so they have better access to Jorvik's power? 2. whilst aideen brought life back to Jorvik, all the darkness went into one person: garnok. and it says when we start the game that darkness would come to jorvik again and a girl would save it so garnok and dark core maybe they bring back the darkness and our character brings back life to jorvik. 🤷 3. none of the other characters have ever mentioned the fridge doors including the soul riders so maybe we can only see them? 4. so whenever we go to pandoria it always says time and space unfold or they stand still something like that, maybe we go back in time and maybe maybe save elizabeth because we need her for a specific quest?? also when we go near the door in fort pinta, it makes weird sounds like people are moving things around and its almost as if someone is trying to block out the sound coming out of the door?

[@Carobug]

Might the symbol on that door be Dark Core and GED logos combined? It might be some kind of a tunel that helps these organizations secretly travel, amd also transport and trade some suspicious items

[@ariuthere]

😮Oh my gosh that's so smart!

[@Carobug]

@@ariuthere Thanks ^^ though I think it might also belong to just one of these organizations, but still serve this kind of a purpose

The soundtrack “Strange” is also played when you fall down in pi’s swamp and when you run into the wolves at Golden hills valley. Im not sure if there’s a connection, and it could possibly be used just for the purpose of ‘getting sent back’ but thought I would just share Also, the fridge doors in the location we can’t get to look like they’re underwater however I think they are guarded by the tentacles, and we will maybe have access to them if Star Stable adds something- The tentacles part is weird lmao- 💀

[@flapsoll]

See i have something to add. in the star shine legacy games number 3 as Anne you go to Pandoria and there are tablets wich tell you a story a story how garnok came to jorvik. The theory follows that garnoks space ship was crashed down into a moantain and the soul riders closed him in and stuff. * video were you can see the tablet for yourself time 25:11 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5PNZ62er9l0q6s * I think this might help with the Fridge door theory.

[@apple.s8273]

[@eleanornightwalker]

Oh wow, so that explains the UFO crash site! I wasn't too far off then assuming it was someone from dark core 😅😅 but then the question is: how does it connect to the fridge doors? 🤔

[@navyzecrazy1929]

That’s a really good theory! But it’s actually 26:11.

[@Cymbeline-q9n]

Eleanor Nightwalker I think the soul riders might have trapped Garnok underground. They would need to have a way to get to him if needed, so thats where the doors come in. As for the logo, the star might indicate some sort of ceremony or ritual they would do. Could this have something to do with the light ride? Maybe in the future we would end up there during it to do a ceremony to remove Garnok? As for the light inside, could it be some of aideens light that they are using to make garnok less hostile as we did with the scarecrows on scarecrow hill? And if i remember correctly, they said eventually he would come back, aideens light might not be able to hold for that long? Also, I remember that GED had been using the water from Mistfall for an unknown project. When they got kicked out of there, what if they started using the water from the area at 6:43 ? Maybe they are linked with Dark Core and are using the water to make potions for the monster institute?Sorry if i am wrong about some of these things, I am only level Fourteen 😂

[@ariuthere]

@@Cymbeline-q9n I did the scarecrow quest yesterday then went on the light ride. I'm level 13 and I recently did a quest that Avalon gives you about the water from the waterfall being green in Valedale. What do you think it has to do with the light ride? I go on it quite often so I might notice something.

[@ariuthere]

Ik I keep commenting but look right at the back at this time : 6:36 it looks like there is a dried up waterfall which means the lake could've been deeper in the past... Maybe in the far future, all of the water will dry up and the last fridge door will be revealed.... Edit : I have been watching this footage over and over again and I noticed that at 6:29 , the place that Selena runs over looks more like a waterfall. Maybe all of that place was underwater at some point...

When I was a noob and first found out about aideens light I always thought that the light in the fridge doors was his light. Now that I connect the dots the star theory makes a lot of sense. Basically when we go to the place where Fripp lives (idk what it’s called) our character shows up on the map and that’s where the last fridge door could possibly be. Just like pandoric cracks there could be some type of Aideen crack that leads to fripp’s hideout. When Jorvik started getting more tourists they didn’t want people going into the cracks/portals leading to fripp’s little area and finding out what’s actually going on in Jorvik.

[@braunnbear526]

I have a quick theoryyyyy As you mentioned in the video at 1:35, the weird hatches/fridge doors make up a star formation, and clearly it is implied with the star shape on the door itself that they make up a star. Evergray said back in Guardians Dale something like, 'four soul riders and a fifth to lead the way'. And keep in mind you mentioned that we are missing the fifth door. We all basically know at this point that our character is the fifth soul rider that Evergray was talking about in that quest. There is something that I had thought of recently that nobody has really every mentioned in any of these theory videos, and I think thats because we've never really thought about it. The one thing that all players have to have to be able to do the main story quests. Star Rider. The fridge doors make up a star formation. We are missing one of the fridge doors. The fifth fridge door is missing. 'Four soul riders and a fifth to lead the way'. Our character is the fifth soul rider. I think they may all be related. That is a lottt of coincidences.

If it definitely has something to do with darkcore- then maybe it's a DC Dungeon? and for that lake part- maybe thats where they throw the bodies o-o Here are some ideas I thought of: -DC or GED Dungeon -GED Mystery -DC and GED have teamed up and thought of a huge plan that they cannot do yet -The one symbol also says DC if you look at it. Thats all I could think of. Not much but I don't think it's bad Edit: omg I just thought of something. If it was a GED/DC dungeon or something their is a door at the bottom of the lake and they trap people in a cage behind bars and they basically open the door to the lake and they let them drown. Thats why the lake isn't filled all the way up to mountain height. Probably not it but y'know I tried I'm not a mystery-solver lol

As a matter of fact, I think the fridge doors are for the dark riders, Dark Core and GED staff to get around Jorvik quickly. As you may know, one for the doors is in Greendale Forest . Which is where we find Starshine but that is probably irrelevant. Also, the Dark Core oil rig is located somewhere in the sea to the left of shipwreck shore, I can’t quite remember, maybe people go underwater to avoid being seen. It’s definitely a long shot but it’s worth a mention. And maybe the other doors lead to other important places.

[@livvo54]

you're channel is so underrated omg i love your videos a lot. keep up the good work!

[@jdixon4949]

I have a theory about what's under the fridge doors. It might be Garnok's tentacles, and they try to keep him secured in the fridge door. It could also be that portal that had the yellow light glowing from it, hence the yellow light that glows in the night. If you listen closely, you can hear heavy breathing, alien noises, and even a grown man screaming! I believe that portal leads to Garnok's lair, where he feasts on people that used to work for GED and Dark Core. GED and Dark Core may run their own secret company together, and that weird symbol, might be the map of Garnok's lair. In Garnok's lair, they could keep monsters, kind of like Mr. Anwir when he injected the serum into him. Other people might be there too, including Garnok. Where the beasts and monsters are held, might be where they keep their "Nightmare Institute". Dark Core could also be using these doors to capture people. If they get too close, they could be swallowed up by Garnok's tentacles. I don't know if this is what is really happening down there, but it's just my weird theories.

[@TulaTheBun]

Actually when i was bored a few days ago and was walikng aroud the ufo i noticed something strange. A stone with glowing purple gems forming a simbol. I couldn't see the simbol exactly because it was behind a rock and i couldn't get closer since there was an invisible wall (i zoomed out as far as i can in photo mode to see it ) . The strange thing is that it is very close to the ufo and in a blocked area , the one that the 5 fridge door is supposed to be. Today i will try to see more of it and later write what i saw exactly. (sorry for my bad english) Also garnok was transported in a *space ship* that later crashed. Maybe he escaped to the tunnels and hides there?

With the lastest missions (the beatrice and getting into the fort maria) one of the buttergood siblings describes the other saying that he's pretty weird and has weird hobbies: "He interest himself in every type of mysteries. UFO, caves, secret tunnels under Jorvik going to Institute of Corrupted Creatures. I would say that he has some very good imagination!". As you can see, he mentions the tunnels. (This is a roughly translated quote, since I play in another language. I can provide the screen in Polish)

[@kallyywallyy]

So many NPCs say smth bout tunnels... in the quest called "the cat substitute" steve says: "Don’t understand where the mice are coming from. On the nights I can hear strange sounds from the underground… I wonder if G.E.D. is drilling out the island of Jorvik from the inside?" And notice how steves farm is quite in the center of the star? Maybe theres smth going on in the middle.

[@sirenserenades]

I bet it’s like the Dark Riders are the keys to unlock the 4 hatch doors that we can currently access, and we, as the fifth soul rider, are the key to unlock the 5th door. I think the doors somehow are connected to Garnok’s prison 🤔 and I think that our character is capable of being both a soul rider and a dark rider..... 🙀

[@heatheraverill2639]

Cool

[@martaborgesarruda8361]

I literally came back to this video to say that they finally acknowledge the mystery that these fridge doors bring to us in the last Wednesday update, thanks to a convo with Syntax. Hopefully they’ll reveal the truth behind them soon! I’m so excited after so many years of waiting haha 😂❤️

[@kallyywallyy]

And? We're still waiting... ☺️

[@celestial_okami1139]

This might be a streach but hear me out. Ok so the 'fridge doors' have a star on them and stars have five points and I remember in guardians Dale evergray say something along the lines of 'there is four soul riders and a fifth to lead the way' I think he recited this from a book? But it is a quest I did long ago so my memory of it isn't perfect! Maybe each point could be represented by a soul rider and ours is off the map because we have supposedly only been on Jorvik for the summer? Maybe we might find out more about this when the 'welcome home soul rider' update comes out? And maybe the other symbol on the doors could be a symbol used to represent all the soul riders together or maybe represent adien? But this is just a theory and I don't have much to back it up so I guess take this as you please. If you have any further questions or want to add on to my small theory then please do!

[@emse9495]

I really want people's thoughts on this theory. I totally get that with the star, and my theory is based on that. So when they have to make the light ceremony, each soul rider has to stand on one of the fridge doors ( im just guessing ) Maybe Alex has to stand on the one in Fort Pinta, cause that she grew up there. Linda lives in Jarlahiem, and there is a fridge door close to her. Thats just a little side thing. But, as we all know, we as players are the fifth soul rider. Maybe you can see where im going. So then we ( as players ) have a connection with the fifth fridge door. So back to the star. As we all also know, Lisa has the power of the Star. As a soul rider, she is maybe way more important, than we actually think she is. She is also the main character in the first book, and we see all of the books, from her perspective. You can of course go further in to the deep, with this theory. I really need people's thoughts on this one, cause I think, that im into something. Im thinking of making a video based on this theory.

[@jamier279]

"fridges" i thought of Nic's fridge xD

[@abigailstarhawk4717]

Think about this: there were four soul riders, four dark riders and four fridge doors. The fifth door basically does not exist for anyone on Jorvik because nobody discovered it yet, same with the fifth dark rider. If there are now five soul riders, why cant there be a fifth dark rider too? I think that whoever (DC or The Keepers of Aideen) finds all the five fridge doors first, can use then to stop Garnok or make him strong enough to destroy the world, but only if there are five members of the soul riders or the dark riders. At this point, we are waaayy ahead of DC, since the soul riders have five members, so if one of the druids knows something (id be surprised if they didnt, since they keep so many secrets) we can go to that fifth door, the other soul riders to the other doors and do something to stop Garnok. On the other hand, if the Dark riders find a fifth one soon and then use the five doors, the story ends in a tragic way. IF the soul riders AND the dark riders discover it at the same time, it would be a race between good and evil, or they use them at the same time, which could cause anything. This theory is kinda crazy lol

[@cookidouqh]

Pretty interesting, actually. At one point in the storyline, I believe Katja is said to go missing, and I think Darko served as a replacement for her According to Jorvikpedia, the current known Dark Riders are Sabine, Katja, Jessica, and Chiyo, who hasn’t appeared in game yet, so perhaps there are four, I don’t know

[@iriskoni101]

If you have played the old games of Starshine Legacy and follow the stories, you may notice that characters like Mr. Sands and the Dark Riders are entities that come from the depths of the ocean. They are not humans, they are only entities that look like human beings. In Starshine Legacy (pt. 3 - Pandoria) Anne goes to Dark Core Headquarter and traps Mr. Sands and Jessica inside the YELLOW portal (the one that connects dark entities trapped in the depths of the ocean -like Garnok, which is the “boss” or others like Mr. Sands etc.- to Jorvik). I suppose that the entities, trapped in the fridge doors, are bad ones and that they are trapped in ocean and those doors keep them away from rising to the surface of the earth and destroy Jorvik. The UFO is connected to those entities. Always in the 3rd chapter of Starshine Legacy you can see that there are hieroglyphics engraved in the stone. Those hieroglyphics tell the history of Jorvik, or better to say, the way in which life was formed on this island. We can see that humanoid-looking horses fight against a malignant creature; they beat it and place it inside a starship but, in an attempt to send it as far away from their planet as possible (which is not the World and so the island of Jorvik), this monster manages to control the starship and to take control of it. From this moment on the ship loses control and they crash to Jorvik island. In this island those humanoid-looking horses get to know local people and horses that live here and they fight against Garnok. They beat him and send him in the depths of the ocean. I think that the UFO starship that we see on SSO is the one that those humanoid horses were driving and the remains of the crash remained here. Hope you’ll find this helpful and makes understand some thing of SSO.

6:46 when you where talking about garnok. I want to say that I think garnok is in devil's gap, because in starshine legacy 4 you get to go to devil's gap to save James. Then you had to race Katja, and she summoned garnok, so you could see it's tentacles. But devil's gap is not under water, right? But it maybe WAS underwater, but because of climate change maybe the water disappeared/evaporated. So I don't think garnok would be under the lake. Just wanted to mention that.

[@Cymbeline-q9n]

Eleanor Nightwalker I think the soul riders might have trapped Garnok underground. They would need to have a way to get to him if needed, so thats where the doors come in. As for the logo, the star might indicate some sort of ceremony or ritual they would do. Could this have something to do with the light ride? Maybe in the future we would end up there during it to do a ceremony to remove Garnok? As for the light inside, could it be some of aideens light that they are using to make garnok less hostile as we did with the scarecrows on scarecrow hill? And if i remember correctly, they said eventually he would come back, aideens light might not be able to hold for that long? Also, I remember that GED had been using the water from Mistfall for an unknown project. When they got kicked out of there, what if they started using the water from the area at 6:43 ? Maybe they are linked with Dark Core and are using the water to make potions for the monster institute as said in the Nightdust quests?Sorry if i am wrong about some of these things, I am only level Fourteen 😂 Edit: Also, in the quest where you have to get into the GED oil rig, you find Justin. They are wanting more dark riders for some reason, so why would the Dark Riders be at GED if they weren’t connected, and what if DC the DRs and GED were connected? And why would they want another dark rider? Maybe they all have to be at the fridges at the same time to open them? Edit edit: Uhm, the fridge doors lead to something below jorviks surface right? Then read this: “what people call garnok is actually a powerful pandora’s force that lurks below jorviks surface” as said in a quest... ?????????????

[@notsojazzyjorja]

With all the star stable theories, the fridge door is my favourite. The mystery behind it is so engaging and exiting. I really do hope they continue the quest line and give us more clues to the theory.

[@bethanyandersen2925]

The tip at the top of the star locates where the secret stone circle or fripp's room is located. When I did a quest to go to one of these places the yellow circle on the map was at the exact point at the top of the star.

[@romanceontheorientexpress30602]

This theory is what I heard years ago: These fridge doors are supposed to be the secret quick travel tunnels as the one missing is near the secret stone circle. I think it is mentioned in a quest with Elisabeth in Valedale very early into the game where she says you as player have to access the circle via the spiral path, but druids use other means of travel to get to the stone circle.

I know I'm 5 months late for this, but me and 2 more friends of mine decided to go in mistfall and try to find explanations for the creepy things that happened there. This actually helped me a lot, because I thought to research about creepy things that happened in SSO, and now that we know about these fridge doors, we will try to research about them as well. Thank you sooooooo much for this!

[@meredithcroft1445]

Just something to add: on each of the fridge doors The star symbol has the circle on one of the points. The one in Moorland has a circle on the bottom right side of the star. And if you look at the map, moorland would be the bottom right corner of the star. I don’t know if this is new info but it’s just something I’ve noticed.

[@eleanornightwalker]

yeah that's what the star symbol means :)

[@MysticPony232]

It kind of reminds me of the giant underground transmutation circle from Fullmetal Alchemist. Maybe they lay out the locations Dark Riders must stand for performing some kind of powerful dark magic the involves all of Jorvik?

[@MysticPony232]

Even if the doors make up a star, all of the points of a pentagram line up to make a perfect circle. We've previously seen that same circle symbol imagery when Soul Riders perform spells. It's like they invoke power from a symbol/rune of some sort? And if Dark Core is the "opposite" of the Keepers of Aideen then they would probably use the same technique, just to invoke dark magic. Maybe there are tunnels underground connecting each door, and they are preparing to do some kind of massive ritual. Reviving Garnok? Hm...

[@QueenOfKronstad]

My theory is that the fridge doors has a connection with the fridge Nic Stoneground is having chained to his arm. In the Dinovalley there’s a place that has the same type of pink stars in a locked up cave. And I believe that it’s where a witch was placed. But I can’t remember how the story went. All these theories are quite interesting, and I love to ponder upon it and read comments about it.

[@novastarburst3939]

To be honest, after years of searching a link with druids, magic & cie, I tend to think that it's just a part of the GED installations. Why there's a star ? Just because. Because they knew that players will try to search an explanation and it will avoid them to be bored earlier, making them hope for a new mystery. The game isn't known for its logic after all. Let's say that it could be the GED trying to search something on the underground and who don't want to be noticed. We know that they have flying devices ( thanks to mostly the druid missions where we frequently try to stop it ) , the light could be a way to be visible for the device/possible cameras. And as GED and Dark Core are linked, it will be a good thing for a future mission. To me,for the moment, it's just a crude bait to keep some players interested.

[@portiasnyder1812]

I’ve been playing for 5 months lol so much to learn..

[@Spitfire-Acid]

My idea about the ‘GED’ symbol : The door (rectangle) could symbolise ‘Enter’ and the circle looks like a portal. And where have we seen portals the most? Pandoria. So in this way that symbol overall says ‘Enter Pandoria’ I don’t know if this is a really good theory but it surely opens up a possible new chapter in the main story.

I defenitly think it is something about GED an DC working together, wouldn't suprise me at all and make total sense.

I’m literally 2 seconds in but my theory of fridge doors So, if you go up to the fridge doors, you will hear banging. This is Garnok. If you look Very closely there is a dent on the window. Proving the banging. (I don’t understand the head but whatever) The stars represent soul riders. Golden Hills is Lisa, Harvest Counties is Linda, Starshine Ranch is Anne, and Valedale is Alex. But the top one is us.. It represents Garnok not getting to us in time, representing we can’t get to Mystic Valley.
