The 5 RAREST Paragons - Stellaris Lore

[@hunter5559]

When I take Under One Rule and get Keides I like to think that its the Luminary who raises Keides as an adoptive parent

[@iterationfackshet1990]

Imo the luminary should be considered a paragon. Also the luminary would definitely raise Keides as their son and heir should they ever die.

to be fair the care taker managed to keep the people inside alive long enough that what killed them wasn't sustanance shortages but running out of air

[@TheRedKing]

Yeah I feel like that's not really the caretakers fault, it did it's best given the available resource

[@Stevie-J]

@@TheRedKing Yes! But I think it's fun that everyone is so trusting. Players learn that they can trust the text or should risk trusting it, within the patterns of the game system. It's quite fun and funny either way. In "real life" a celestial visitor would never be trusted with anything

[@ProfilGesperrt-gk8xc]

That‘s why death cult is so hilarious. When the tentacle scientist appears you can just sacrifice them lmfao

[@BowandSvent]

I found the Beholder very early into a spiritualistic fanatic purifiers game. With it at the head of my navy I was able to conquer a solid fourth of the galaxy very early in the game by hard focussing ships with anti armor capabilities. Once I started snowballing I settled him onto my home world and got psionics early as well and put him on my council. I wanted to turn it into my ruler but it wasn't possible as I was imperial. I had no idea it was as rare as it was.

[@knowonewillknow7080]

I play with max primitives on so when it when it first came out, I got the beholder every game for like at least three games . I didn’t even realise it was uncommon until I looked it up.

[@Clem35530]

[@nyyfandan]

I have hundreds and hundreds of hours in this game and I've never gotten the Dugar system event even once lol. By the time I find it, he's always already lived his entire life and died within another empire.

[@vainthatoneoverhere]

So rare that I never met any of them in game.

[@Nixajax]

amen to that, i got well over 1k hours in Stellaris and have never gotten a single legendary paragon

[@danielhavoc889]

Weird. In my last 5 playthroughs, I've seen the Caretaker in 4, Mercedes Romero 3 times, Keides in the 2 most recent (one was a devouring swarm, so we ate him or something), and I've had a chance at Oakenstalk in every single one, I just didn't wait until I had genetics in all but one. The only one I haven't had is the beholder, though I've had potential access to the necessary events at least once I think.

[@Nixajax]

@@danielhavoc889 I wish I had this amount of luck like in one of my games I’m pretty sure I had the bird admiral gate in one of my systems but he never appeared

[@nekomochi486]

Surely not 1k hours after Galactic Paragons? ​@@Nixajax

[@ProfilGesperrt-gk8xc]

Th Caretaker saved my last Necrophage run since I was playing around with slavery settings and screwed up biiiiig time. The caretaker‘s amenity bonus got my whole economy back on track

[@apocalypticpioneers2116]

YOOOO WHAT???? THAT THING IS THE RAREST PARAGON??? I got it my first playthrough after Paragons dropped

[@BisexualPlagueDoctor]

Which one?? Oh the beholder I assume

[@danielhavoc889]

I've seen the rest quite often really, but actually realized after watching I MAY have seen the Beholder a good while ago, and just made it a warship.

[@zenderthedragon]

I have been playing for so long but have never been able to get the Gaia world creating one.

She is the most common of the legendary ones funnily enough. X% chance to spawn every 5 years iirc

i had caretaker in my last playthough.. the baol honestly seems common, as long as you get the rift you can garentee aquiring him (if you're not machine anyway..) never seen the others. closest i got was getting part of the relic but it never continued for w/e reason

[@evgzarproductions2752]

I think you either need to have some technologies or certain ethics to get him, I don't know exactly, but I remember I didn't have an option to modify baol to get Oakenstalk on some playthroughs

[@darcraven01]

@@evgzarproductions2752 ive only not had the option when ive played (gastalt) machines... whenever i play a biological empire its always an option that shows up for me.

[@BetonKundySlap]

@@darcraven01 I'm on a playthrough of rogue servitors and got him so it might be that you need some gene modification tech to get him (although I play with mods so there might be some weird interaction there).

[@darcraven01]

@@BetonKundySlap i think i'm going to run some tests. i'll do some games (with AI turned off so they dont take the rift). one will be with a normal biological empire researching everything (this is the control run), one will be a test about avoiding everything related to genetic modification, one will avoid anything related to cybernetic modifications (if either of those fail than i wont need the next one) one avoiding both. then i'll do the same tests but with a hive mind. then i'll test non-gestalt machines. iive alrwady come across it with gestalt machines and had an entirely seperate option than the normal three (i forget what it was cuz it sucked. lol). might take a while (as im getting ready to move) but i'll try to post my findings here when complete (if i remember.. maybe ping this comment in a month or two if i havent posted anything yet. lol) (alternatively you can run the tests yourself if you dont wanna wait on me. i planned to use the riftworld origin to rush rift tech and toggle off AI in the console commands so they didnt get in the way. maybe rush tech as needed, spawn fleets, and w/e else as needed just to rush things.. no mods though)

[@ethanallan1254]

Always love the references in the leader names

[@HalIOfFamer]

I got caretaker on my 3rd run like 30 years into the game while I was listening to your reading of the murder AI turned ancient caretaker where they cooperated with an AI race that looked like the caretaker in game. Pretty lucky I found both the amazing video and a rare paragon.

[@bikeczarmagicschool]

It's funny because "gravity" really IS desire. And boy howdy does The Worm really love us. Loves us ALL, in fact. Do YOU love The Worm? Of course you do.

[@TheRandomMuffinMan]

I get caretaker once every few games. I didn't know he was rare lol.

[@gs-8279]

I got the Murmuring Monolith once, didn’t know it was so rare until I saw this video

[@Vitalabyss]

The first and only time I've run into the Beholder was in like my 3rd game after Paragons launched. Got it SUPER EARLY, like 2120 or something, and started pumping out psychic pops. It was a great boon when I became the crisis but I ultimately lost that game. Never seen it since, didn't know it was that rare until much later. I've actually never seen Oaken Stalk.

[@adamxue6096]

Some of those can be "more easily" found by playing in certain ways or with certain settings. Since Dugar always have about a 1/4th chance of spawning, playing on tiny or small galaxies with fewer empires and aggressively searching after Dugar, usually allows for a very easy time to get Keides. Alternatively, Slingshot to the Stars is a semi-viable option for larger galaxies to also allow for extensive searching after Dugar. As only the first empire who enters Dugar can get Keides, you can do some very strange no survey just explore to aggressively search it out Or for example, having a major ton of primitives is very helpful in finding the Beholder, and vice versa - not having a lot of them will make it extremely rare. So for finding it, turning the primitives up is usually very helpful, which in turn, ofc, requires you to turn up habitable planets. I personally play 0.25x habitable planets and 1x primitives, so Beholder is never gonna show up for me, arguably, it would be fun one day to seek them out, but my computer lags too much

[@Borg_K_004]

Thank you for the video. I was able to all but the Beholder. :)

[@GraniteGhost778]

I've met Kaedes twice before, and in one of my current games I've met Mercedes for the first time.

[@furauran]

I love how the Beholder is the rarest and I've found it 3 times now, but haven't found Keides a single time :

[@fletcherreder6091]

I've had The Beholder in all of the last three games I've played. I'm surprised that it is considered rare. I never take the Oaken dude because I like the flamethrower teams better.

[@akirisa_uwu1769]

I've actually seen the beholder a few times. Unfortunately, I only got to recruit it once. It is possible to fail to recruit it, even if you find it.

[@TheRedKing]

mm I guess you could not finish the event, and thus not get the leader.

[@atoth62]

I have Keides in my current game, completed his quest for the achievement, and had Mercedes Romero in two(?) previous games. When I say two, I had a Blorg join in a previous game, I just don't remember if it was her or not.

[@Banter07]

Wait, the monolith is rare? I found it on my first ever playthrough with galactic paragons, I think I might still have the save Edit: opened an old modded save (without mods enabled so it might be a bit messed up from here on out), and there it was, just chilling in space.

I've gotten all those paragons. Honestly Oakenstalk isn't even rare. I get the boal astral rift in two of every three games I play. I've only had the beholder once but for some reason I don't remember I didn't continue that game for long so I never really had the change to use it. I didn't realize how rare it was at the time.
