The Splatoon 3 Inkspedition: Hammerhead Bridge

Hammerhead Bridge was one of the first playable maps in Splatoon 3. The map is the completed version of Hammerhead Bridge in Splatoon 1, where the extra parts like the grated layer were streamlined into a much simpler map. This bridge actually connects Inkopolis to the Splatlands, and makes travel between the two much easier. While a lot of maps in Splatoon 3 are like s-blocks or z-blocks in Tetris, Hammerhead Bridge is the I-block of Splatoon 3. In this Inkspedition we’ll explore some of the cool details of the map as well as how good it is to play on in turf war and the ranked modes. What Splatoon map would you want to see in the next Inkspedition?

I like this story and I want to know what happens next and AM FIRST PERSON replying to you

Please spare Dave He didn't no wrong 😭😭😭

I know why... it's because OF THE LOORRREE

Are you sure the Inkspedition team got the right map? This isn't Hammerhead Bridge, this is Straight Line the Road

[@Alphastar716]

Unfortunately, sad as it is, this is Hammerhead Bridge. 😔

[@leolen8029]

The lore... THE LORE!!!

[@marigold_the_protogen3201]

*insert best matpat impression* “LOOOOOOOOORRRE!”

[@nelsonlopez9559]

Next episode of the Inkspedition: The boss finds out he's nothing more than an Alter-Ego, same with Billy and proceeds to have a mental breakdown.

[@TreblePhoenix]

Or Dave... well... you know....

[@Lilac_Amethyst]

I swear if that’s the case I’ll be crying for 5 days :(

[@Alphastar716]

Which may be the exact thing I'm trying to prevent...

[@BooTube5]

yesss More LORE! Also great video alpha, I love the storytelling thus far! I can't wait for more Lore Summary Time! (spoilers for the video below) [0:18] Alpha uses his powers to see from the perspective of the host to see where they are [0:29]We learn that body swapping takes up much energy and alpha can just look through others' eyes as well as control them [0:49] and [3:30] It seems like exposure to even a small trace of the sanitized sludge leads to health decrease and side effects to those created from it. [3:46] Alpha is observing through the body of the host. as proven by his eye colour at [3:54] [3:59] We see the side effects of looking through those created by the sludge's eyes for too long (and probably Body swapping too) [6:09] "Those Two remind me of them" Probably referring to billy, host and splatlocke [6:22] "I have to handle this alone, it's better this way" I'm not sure how to interpret this but I'm putting it in anyway :P [8:28] We can see alpha Using the host's body (as proven by the eye colour, and alpha almost saying NILS statue which only he knows the name of) to try and sway Travis and Dave away from the statue [9:16] Alpha runs out of energy from body swapping [9:26] "I have to talk them out of it. for them, for us" [9:32[ "what did they end up doing while i was out" Alpha can rewind through those created by the sludge's memories? [9:52] "He has no clue what damage telling him will do" [9:59] alpha is plotting to... you know... Dave to stop him from notifying the others [10:02] Dave finally finds out the truth You can thank me later (/hj)

[@mollylarsen9812]

Thank you

[@Alphastar716]

Pretty good summary 👀

[@prestonandtom9337]

The way Alpha talks in some of these videos, I feel like he would be a perfect Disney villain.

FRRRR

NOW HOLD ON TIGHT YALL, THIS GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE

[@TopazTiger975]

Oh boy, things aren't looking good for Dave... The lore is getting more and more intense. Hammerhead Bridge, the hallway to secrets. (Get it? I'll take my leave now...) Amazing video as always Alpha! 🐯

1:24 Bros intrusive thoughts literally took over in 0.5 seconds. *He has no control*

[@Alphastar716]

The Host of the Inkspedition's empathy stat is already in the negatives so of course he doesn't lol.

[@user-tu3dt1xl3f]

With his awful past still in the back of his mind, he is trying to protect what he went through. This is overtaking him and persuading him to do things he wouldn’t actually want to do- like threatening to kill someone. The thing is, is letting Billy and The Inkspedition Guy know the truth so bad that you are willing to threaten someone? I need to know what happens next. This should have been an anime or something. Alpha you are doing a great job.

[@zinedineghafar8156]

Honestly imagine being a worker on a map and just seeing teenagers shootings toy guns that have the same affect of a bullet acting like there playing call of duty💀

[@Alphastar716]

...for the 2nd time. First before it was finished with construction and now after it was finished with construction. x)

The lore, the storytelling, the characters, can wait to see what you have up your sleeve alpha! Keep up the good work!

[@ItsMeVSG216]

*CEASE THE RESEARCH DAVE! YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.* *THIS WILL BE BAD FOR EVERYONE. IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK.* *YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING.* *THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T EVEN FATHOM, AND IF YOU CONTINUE THIS, IT WILL NOT END WELL.* *I SAY THIS FOR THE SAKE OF YOU, ALPHA, AND THE HOST OF THE INKSPEDITION.* *CEASE.* *THE.* *RESEARCH.* Ugh, who am I kidding. He's gone way to far, there's no stopping his commitment. But the may also be no stopping *Alpha* . . . Despite his showing of weakness, Alpha is an individual with dangerous capabilities, and the determination to stop Dave, *no matter the cost.* Curiosity killed the cat. And it's going to kill Dave as well . . .

LORE!!!!! GOSH I am sorry but I am WAY TOO EXCITED FOR LORE!!! Always loved storytelling and lore when it came to any game and Splatoon lore? Heck I didn’t think I’d see much here! But this is getting GOOOOD… oh wow… though it’s so interesting, Alpha’s eyes turn purple when he’s looking into the eyes of his… clones? Organisms? Hmmm… I’m not sure what to call them… I suppose his alter egos possibly? It’s difficult to say but… Alpha threatening someone’s life? This must be serious… Hmm… ya know maybe I’m glad I watched this two weeks late- I won’t be waiting as long for more lore 😂😂😂

[@MakiTako]

7:21 THATS MY BESTIE WAFFLES

[@jfo4022]

The drama... the LORE... Ready for weird, probably incorrect *joke* theories? No? TOO BAD- 1. Our main character, Alpha himself, will become a sort of villain/a villain that thinks they're doing the right thing. One of those villains who are like 'YoU sHoUlDnT hAvE fOuNd OuT, yOu BrOuGhT tHiS uPoN yOuRsElF, tImE tO uNlEaSh My FiNaL fOrM'. A villain that thinks he's doing the right thing. 2. Alpha wins, Dave dies and no one ever finds out (until the next curious coworker comes and the cycle repeats) 3. They all find out but are okay with it. "yeah i know im a clone of someone else but thats okay at least i have life" 4. The Alpha Rebellion, where they drive Alpha into hiding, exile him from Inkadia, and the channel just gets deleted after an hour I am a SUCKER for lore. If there's any lore for something I like, you bet I know most (if not all) of it. PLEASE, I NEED MORE- if alphas so powerful with his possessing and all that why cant he just brainwash em all (joke)
