Gythian doesn't have any special abilities to grant immortality, takes peoples hearts, or so forth. Whats special about Gythian is that despite being physically dead it's body still functions thus acting as a giant biological battery of sorts. Think of it in the same way Tyreen absorbed the energy from defeated vault monsters, Gythian has all that juice multiplied to the size of a city and it's just sorta chilling there. The immortality the Olmsteads achieved was from their own means. Vincent through some means fused with the heart, technically letting him live along with Gythian as well as being trapped inside forever. It was Eleanor who made the rings made from Gythians heart and they let the two siphon energy directly from Gythian. Its from this siphoned energy that gives them their abilities of immortality, powers, possession, and so forth. They didn't go mad because that was Gythians specific ability, rather it was probably a combination of their blind love, and partly fusing oneself with the body of a half dead eldritch beast for lord only knows how long.

I loved this DLC and all its misteries. I think the planet is another huge Vault, kind of like Pandora (but with another purpose), and it was opened by one of the unknown sirens before the planet was "officially" discovered. Its guardian, the equivalent of the Destroyer, was killed, but the Mancubus, who was guarding that Vault from the outside (kind of like the Warrior and such), is still guarding what's left of it (maybe he even made a deal with the siren and let her open it, or even helped her kill part of the monster for some reason). And the Curse of the people might have something to do with the fact that the monster's heart granted them the most desired wishes of their hearts, but twisting them and tricking them forever. For example, Burton mentions that he wanted to forget the death of his daughter; I think the heart granted him his wish, but as for the rest of the inhabitants, it went too far and made him live a nightmare by always making him forget everything. It looks like that monster was like a very twisted and trolly genie, making everybody who lived near his heart live miserably by transforming their deepest wishes into their greatest nightmares (and prison). OR maybe it is Mancubus who is in controll of those curses. Also, above the planet is a black hole, and the guy from the first DLC who escaped on a rocket, can be found again on this planet. I think that he got into the black hole near the handsome Jackpot and went out this way, crashing on this planet, which would mean that both black holes are actually linked, (or two "sides" of the same black hole). This could even indicate that they are one wurmhole. Pretty interesting, in my opinion.

Okay, two problems there. 1. Mancubus isn't a vault guardian, and he doesn't really seem to be capable of fighting. Whenever anything needs killing, he gets somebody else to do it. He's tied to the lodge, and the lodge isn't tied to Xylorgous. It moves around. He's also not evil, but he does seem to know how to cure curses, or atleast his own curse, though he hasn't done so. 2. Xylorgous doesn't have a black hole. That's a permanent solar eclipse of it's sun. The jackpot is also between TWO black holes, not next to one.

@@bigchungus6827 1) He could be a guardian. His nature doesn't matter, there are captains who fight their own battles and captains who make others fight for them, but they are both still captains inspite of their different natures. Same for guardians. So the story could very well reveal he is - or used to be - a guardian. No problem there in my opinion. It is a "what if" scenario, so it could really happen if the writers decide to go that way. I remember having the same kind of conversation with someone right before the third game went out where I was theorizing that Moxxi and Patricia Tannis could be sirens, and that person was insisting that it is litterally impossible because there are only 6 sirens at one time in the universe and it is set in stone and we already know who the sirens are and etc etc. Then came B3's story... seventh siren revealed, Tannis is one of them, and also the fact that males can actually get siren powers. So really, nothing is ever set in stone. 2) The jackpot being between two black holes or next to one makes no difference in my theory. Poteto potato. It doesn't mean one of them cannot be connected to Xylourgos, which could very well have a black hole causing the eclypse itself. As we don't have any information about what causes the eclypse, it could be, especially since we can find that rocked guy crashed on Xylourgos. He couldn't have reached it without a wurmhole, so even if the eclypse is not caused by a black hole or a wurmhole, there must be one nearby. So my theory still stands.

@@HummingbirdSound No, your theory doesn't stand. "But it could happen" isn't a theory. Handsome jack could have been a siren, if that's the standard we're applying. There's no proof of Mancubus being a guardian, and black holes can't cause eclipses. That's not how eclipses work. Eclipses are a product of a solid object coming infront of a light emitting sun. A black hole coming infront of a sun would not only completely tear apart both xylorgous and the sun, if it was big enough or close enough to cover up the sun, it would warp the light coming from the sun, so that there's no way the eclipse would look THAT normal.

@@bigchungus6827 Ok, I see it is pointless arguing with you, you simply want to be right and ignore common sense. There was no proof Tannis was a siren, yet I was right there. And there was proof (EDIT: in the form of confirmation from the writers in game and outside of the game) there were only six sirens at one time in the universe, yet the writers decided otherwise in the third game. And don't even get me started on the "sirens can only be female no matter what" subject... This is how theories work. If there was solid proof, it wouldn't be called a theory, but a fact. Theories take the facts and add to them or extend them into "what ifs". Anyway, I don't want to get into a toxic and pointless conversation with some closed minded random person on the internet, so have a nice day. PS: if you want to be correct about science and black holes, then you should know that you couldn't see them at all in real life and you couldn't see anything near them either, so the ones near the Handsome Jackpot shouldn't be visible. Yet they are. Which shows they are taking some liberty with science - duh, they do that with pretty much every other aspect of life in Borderlands...! Which means my theory very well stands and could be right by the standards of the game. Borderlands is a charicature of our own reality - and even of itself, - and owns it; it's not an essay about quantum physics.

I personally believe that Gythian was one of the few vault monsters that the Eridians attempted to make vaults to imprison them in and assuming that Gythian was one of the very firsts, the techniques to create vaults were not perfected so it may have led to Gythian to escape. It would also explain why guardians didn't exist yet as the Eridians didn't simply made them yet, possibly because they wanted to wait to perfect the art of making vaults before making guards for the vaults themselves.

Maybe that line is a reference to something else, idk, but to me it seems to refer to the Eridians and the Vault Monsters. If Gythian is the Eater of Hearts, and the Destroyer is the Eater of Stars, do all the vault monster enjoy eating? Cuz if so, I feel like I have a lot in common with them lol

tiget2013 my guess is the only vault monsters that have an eating motif are ones powerful enough to reside in vaults that encompass an entire planet. the destroyer’s vault takes up pandora, and there’s a theory that gythian’s takes up xylourgos considering how huge it is. but the rampager’s vault isn’t that big and neither is the graveward’s. so I assume gythian and the destroyer are of the higher ranking monsters while as the rampager, the graveward and the warrior are lower.

Well, it seems Gythian has the power to control creatures maybe the eridiun made Gythian to control the other vault monsters. With that being said I guess that their work on Gythian had to stop when they realize the destroyer can't be controlled and maybe that what Gythian original purpose was, a weapon to fight the destroyer but they must have been in a rush or something when building Gythian vault and they probably left the door unlock. once again I'm currently going off guessing, and the reason they didn't leave guardians because they knew they could control Gythian like the warrior, no need to leave guards when the prisoner obeys the rules. Now the way Gythian died was probably hyperthermia, I assume the weather on the planet was nicer or there was a device to make it better, so when the planet either A) went into a cold age, or b) the weather machine broke/malfunction, it sent the planet into a frost age and Gythian couldn't survive the cold and perish. With all of that being said this is a theory and if you get to this part, thank you for reading my rambling and I would like to see your thoughts on it

Gythians power might be to control the people who come in contact with it, at first it extracts the empathy and compassion of its victims before making them loyal and psychotic servants. Gythian died because he didn’t have the hearts (empathy and compassion) of living souls to feed on after the Eridians became extinct, all the life on the planet was that of the Gaurdians, who had been attacked by Gythian after he realised they were a threat, thus explaining the lack of Guardians at Gythians vault.

I believe he is a reference to Lovecraftian fiction. I've never read Lovecraft's books but Manubus' name appears to be a combination of man (as in mankind) and succubus. So he lures mankind in to feed on their souls. The trap being The Lodge and his hospitality. He seems to want people to stay indefinitely and implies the Lodge has an unlimited amount of rooms. It's unknown if Mancubus is an eldritch being or simply a servant of a greater power. The Lodge itself may even be the eldritch horror. It's unlikely we'll get more information. 1. Mancubus is a side character so unless he gets popular we're unlikely to see him again. 2. Good Lovecraftian horror is based on the source of the horror being unknowable or imperceptible and fear coming from that ambiguity. This is why if a show/game shows Cthulu as a physical being in the show/game, they're doing Lovecraftian horror wrong. In my opinion.

From what i gathered from this is that Gythian seems like some sort of organic communication lines between people. And that when Gythian was imprisoned in the vault with whatever data it had bouncing in its system which corrupted it from being isolated from it's purpose. It became desperate enough that anyone or anything would do in order to somewhat keep it's purpose relevant. This next bit is a bit out there, but since the guardians were possibly around it when it's body was fully functional, Gythian kind of was starving which lead to most of is functions shrinking to the point of seeming dead to the guardians in which they left to go and aid in the protection of another vault. And that lead to it being able to nab whatever it could get to feel whole again.

One possibility is that Gythian was created by the Eridians to combat the Destroyer and turned on its creators. It's possible that the area the lodge is on was an area the Eridians were able to put a sort of nullifying energy field on before trying to lock the monster in the now destroyed vault. But Gythian could have been too powerful to contain in a normal vault and broke out, resulting in it being "slain" by whoever. Likely, its entire body is not dead, but in stasis. It may have taken centuries for the heart to actually start beating again. The Lodge may have been constructed by the Eridians to care for any who were tasked with making sure no one opened Gythian's vault. The Proprietor may either be another construct, or it could be a position handed from one being to another, similar to siren powers.

Perhaps Gythian was a byproduct of the Destroyer made by the Eridians. Like Tannis mentions no one knows why they exist, but they serve a purpose to protect the vault. Maybe Gythian was an earlier stage of the Destroyer, but ended up being too much to control, so the Eridians left it developed in a different way given its size and somewhat passive nature unless its been provoked. Edit: It also reminds of the Warrior, as it was predicted, The Warrior can be controlled by whoever opened the Vault it comes from. And Gythian's power is almost the same thing to some degree.

I find the ending of guns love and tentacles a sadly happy ending one marriage of true love coming to a brutal end by the hands of the vault hunters and another marriage of true love being brought forth by the hands of the vault hunters

I really liked the Wolvens in this DLC. I kind of wish FL4K had a Wolven as one of his partners. Alterations could have been a Prime Wolven with added defense, a Howler which helped replenish shields temporarily, or a Hunter that focused on using ranged attacks... just my wish. The Krich though... they go up on my "Make my skin crawl" list with the Scythids from the first Borderlands game. Gods... they remind me of ticks fused with either a Head Crab or some other kind of parasitical abomination.

My best guess why the vault monster was.. killed or maybe put into hibernation. So judging from what I've experienced on the world itself. Xylourgos, it's an icy wasteland with life, though the star the planet once orbited turned into a black hole. Maybe the star going supernova destroyed the vault allowing the monster to be free. Then the sudden flash freeze possibly put the vault beast into a hibernation, suspended animation. The heat from the tidal forces enacting from the black hole to the planet is probably the reason why the planet is now Habitable to humans and the uglies that followed. This is my theory on the manner but there could be a better reason why.

I gotta few problems with this first, 1 if the eridians did kill it wouldnt nyriad have mentioned that a vault monster was powerful enough to escape its vault, 2 if it wasn’t the eridians then (at least to me) it could not have been the guardians because I don’t think they would not have been able to handle a monster that was powerful enough to escape its vault.

Juan Esposito Juan Esposito borderlands 2’s main campaign was AMAZING, but bl3’s main campaign was just... a snooze fest. nothing interesting other than the boss fights. the story was terribly written. killed off a beloved character (maya) and shoved aside a great character (tina) in favour of one new, terrible character (ava) i also just hate liliths character because she bores me to no end, so I’m happy they least hinted at her being killed off in bl3. so that’s good. there’s also just.... not as much to do in bl3 as you had when bl2 was just released. not as much side quests. gameplay wise though, bl3 is on top.

Maybe the purpose of the Gythian was to bestow eternal life. Going off of the idea that the Seventh Siren is immortal, perhaps this is how they survived for so long without passing the power on.

Hey just a funny thought what if the seventh siren used gythian to gain true immortality before they were seald away that would make a lot of sense cause he would have corrupted them as a result so thats why we must never find them cause if they get out that monster could wake up and then become the big threat
