Who is the SULFUR GOD? - Fear and Hunger Lore

[@wendighoul]

I don't necessarily think the cultists' faces are "painted" blue, it could be they were "scorched" blue, as sulfur burns with a blue flame.

[@Pugsr]

Really? Thats interesting, I did not know that

[@ChaseHendersonWV]

Thank you! It’s been bugging me so much that they are painted blue and not yellow but I couldn’t figure out why!

[@planterion7969]

Well, sulphur burns with a blue flame, but to my knowledge it doesn‘t paint things blue. If you burn yourself on a blue flame (sulfur, ethanol, methane, etc.) or any other color of flame like green (copper), you get the same burns as if you burn yourself with an orange flame. The skin damage is caused by the heat and not influenced by the colour of the flame. That just doesn‘t make sense. Sulfur doesn‘t produce blue soot that could cause the colour or anything either.

[@stinkybean5]

Yeah, but it is consecrated sulphur (, or profaned?).

[@planterion7969]

What‘s that? Nothing shows up right away from a google search

[@charmingowloflavenderism]

I think the interpretation of the sulfur god is the Jungean shadow self of all-mer makes sense with how lore describes him. They say as all-mer ascended his discarded side became Sulfur, which would also explain how other members see him as liberating. He basically makes sulfur cultists lose control of their shadow and become serial killers. If he really gave just freedom we would see a very different group of cultists.

[@grianjuju9438]

The way you say per'kele every time sounds like "purple"

[@rita6355]

He's probably unaware of the Finnish curse world that he's named after lol

[@Pugsr]

I'm doing it on purpose. I explain it in the "Music of Fear and Hunger" video on my channel. It's a sort of inside joke

[@grianjuju9438]

@@Pugsr i forgor that

[@Explorerofshadows]

Your theory on Sulfur being the basest form of humanity in the Satan segment towards the end actually lines up with Laveyan Satanism. Maybe that is an inspiration worth considering

[@Pugsr]

After researching what you said, yes. That is exactly what I was getting at. Although I can't write that well so I couldnt get my thoughts in the video exactly. I'll heart this comment to make up for my poor writing skills lol

[@barelyprotestant5365]

​​@@Pugsrpriest, here. What's interesting is that this lore is far more compatible (theologically) with something like Gnosticism. I can see a Gnostic understanding trying to deal with Jesus as actually incarnate providing this sort of explanation (the one where Jesus ascends and sheds his human flesh, and that flesh becoming evil). Fun fact: in real life, Jesus actually retains His Human Nature to this day. He never sheds It.

[@Khann_2102]

​@@barelyprotestant5365 So Allmer is Jesus but a little different? Pretty neat

[@ferdinanddomingo7688]

I feel The Suflur God acts on the idea where humanity, to care and carry yourself with dignity has failed through and through and see the solution as to destroy it instead and seeking fulfillment from that instead, to live life in true anarchy, uninhibited by emotions that would cause you to enact mercy, or tenderness or generous in the traditional sense. To act as the apex predator knowing that humanity in this world would often betray you and instead you preserve yourself in the most extreme way possible and achieving great satisfaction from it all to boot.

[@lollmao1497]

When you mentioned that Sulfur could be inspired by satan, i also noticed that per'kele's pose in 8:33 kinda looks like the baphomet, a figure associated with satanism. Literally got Legs crossed, 3 horns, one arm pointing up at the moon the other to earth and is a Winged human goat thing

[@CrimsonRayne]

if allmr is basically jesus, in the bible god uses the firepits of fire and sulfur to kill satan once and for all. if anything, thats where that goat is gonna go.

[@Yuri_before_bed]

The sulphur god is so obscure that even the new gods don’t know about it

[@thencursethestars]

Something interesting I haven't seen anyone talk about in terms of how the cult members look: The scarabs from the first game have the same half white, half blue faces. I doubt it's just a coincidence too, and I doubt they've painted their own faces (though that doesn't mean the ones you mentioned haven't). I desperately want to know why that is.

[@Pugsr]

Thats actually a really good catch. I never noticed that. Scarabs do look like that. There could be a connection.

[@mysteryman9488]

Might just be me reaching but doesn't the Crow Mauler also look like a member of the cult or that he's at least a monster whoose powers come from the Sulfur god? His color palette used the same general reddish hue Stiches and Needles use.

[@matijerzykom]

@@mysteryman9488 Crow Mauler is the creation of God of the Depths. He uses miracles of God of the Depths and was twisted by the darkness of the dungeon, which radiates from God of the Depths.

[@elverdaderoechomikeoscar]

Sulfur is one of the three primes of alchemy and has other methaphoral meanings but always contrary to the salt, most likely Alll-Mer...

[@Glassandcandy]

Everyone comments about how Needles looks like the clown from Terrifier but no one comments about how stitches is obviously supposed to resemble Marilyn Manson in The Beautiful People music video.

[@Aurora-bv1ys]

I don't think a lot of people heard about Marilyn Manson

[@Glassandcandy]

@@Aurora-bv1ys wdym? He was mega famous in the 90s. That's like not knowing what Nirvana is or who Prince is. Dude is still incredibly well known (albeit not for good reasons at this point lol)

[@NeedlesSweetToothKaneTheClown]

I think it's just so obvious that people don't bring it up

[@Glassandcandy]

@@NeedlesSweetToothKaneTheClown but other extremely obvious references, like crow mauler being a pyramid head redesign, are brought up all the time. Why would this one not be brought up but that constantly ve mentioned?

[@Parzivle]

The duality of allmer and sulfur along with their very strong hints at being two sides of the same coin if not being the same person reminds me of the old polish gods belabog and czernobog. They were often thought to be two aspects of the same demiurge apearing in different forms and meaning drastically different things depending on the situation

[@Khann_2102]

So like Radagon and Marika from Elden Ring?

[@regalbien6058]

It's also important to point that sulfur in French are spell "Soufre", which is the same word for "pain" in English

[@ChaseHendersonWV]

While I think the theory that what is worshipped in Europa is not Alll-mer, I’m not 100% sure its Sulphur either. I think we have a trinity here. The figure in the center mural of the Cathedral looks an awful lot like the Yellow King. I think its like at some point Le’Garde appropriated Alll-Mers image and worship, at least in Prehevil.

[@kinga4438]

9:14 sulfur: all-mer, mom said it's my turn to become a god

[@sunkist1309]

[@botatobias2539]

[@MisoraRyuu0921]

Hopefully, Sulfur God and All-Mer are bosses in the next game

[@Pugsr]

Could be

[@JLacay]

Perhaps they'll be a boss battle in a prequel?

[@nulls5408]

My theory is that all-mer the God is made up of the Super ego while the sulfur god is made up of his id. One does things by what he thinks is socially appropriate to do (killing a bunch of people for killing you could have been seen as fair in the culture all-mer was brought up in), while the other does things by what he subconsciously craves to do. The best representation of all-mer I see is less of a Jesus figure and more that of Baal. Albeit, baal is better known today from his other name, beelzebub. And the two representations of him are starkly different in terms of appeal and morality.

xd its funny how different people find ways to pronounce perkeles name

[@Rebell-mi4zu]

kinda late to the party but when it comes to the Sulfurs god symbol, a part of me speculates if perhaps there's more to it besides just the alchemic interpretation, and maybe it can also be interpreted as the relationship between All-mer and the Sulfur god, at least with how other people view them? To explain what I'm talking about, I looked at the symbol in a more symbolic view and through about how each part could relate to the two gods: The downwards cross at the very bottom could represent the original body of the two, and the two triangles being the ascended forms, with All-mer being the bigger triangle and the Sulfur god being the smaller one. The bigger triangle looms over the small one, representing how All-mer is the more popular/influential one with a majority of people even several hundreds of years later still worshiping him, all while the smaller triangle is in the big ones shadow you could say, like how the Sulfur god seems to be a sort of forgotten god in a way besides the (seemingly) very small cult he has, since we only every run into 3 to 4 Sulfur cult members in Termina. But despite these differences the two triangles meet in the middle, given that no matter what, the Sulfur god and All-mer are undoubtedly connected since they were at once the same person.

[@reubenfromow4854]

It makes you wonder if the girl needed to cast off any aspects of herself to become the god of fear and hunger…

[@sisyphusmarble8460]

She very much cast off the aspect of "having a normal number of arms"

[@1yegdj]

Just a quick question. Do you get any dialogue from new gods about the sulfur god? In fear and hunger 1

[@nobreluan4578]

Per'kele served Rher but someone did Tell him about the sulfur god maybe another cultist or maybe he was contacted directly By the deity

Sulfur god just been salty because they were done dirty. Imagine been put in their position, having so much desire to move and feel something even no pain but they can't. Years like this builds a great need for pain relief so much it'd make a human so mad they'd not only wish the same upon people but also wish other people should have partaken in their hedonistic desires lest they end up like him... Discarded and used after they were to ascend to greatness and help humanity. So, the real question is... Is the Sulfur god redeemable and if they reverse it and "cure" him would he psychologically be cured of the thirst of doing what he wanted most (to be free of pain and to be able to move)?

i think the developer thought that, Alll-mer is Jesus... something.... is also Satan? well the characteristic of Old Testament God is somewhat cruel, like Flood~ Virgin Sacrifice, Gold, Sheep Sacrifice? younger child sacrifice? then JESUS came in the story, if Old testament god is jesus, then Old testament God is also Satan.. trinity? the developer is kinda smart.
