Metro’s Most Terrifying Faction - The Cannibals | FULL Metro Book & Game Lore

Artyom has met some deadly people and creatures on his journey throughout the Metro stations. Battling factions desperate for power as well as extremely vicious beats that want to eat anything they see. However, there is one he never expected to encounter. Humans that were so desperate for resources, cut off from the rest of the world, that they had to start eating their own.
One faction, located away from the Metros, luring people into their traps to eat them, and the other creating a cult, worshiping their God and sacrificing anyone who was a disbeliever and capturing children for their ranks.
In today's video, we explore just that. These are the tales behind the savage cannibal tribes within Metro.

I love how the entire Yamantau level was based pretty much entirely on one line in Metro 2035. "What would we do if we were in Yamantau, eat each other?"

Well it wasn't just one line. In the book there was cultists who lived in the dark and praised a worm and ate people from outside. The leaders of the group were academics who wanted to test if it was possible to make a cult

The Cannibals in the Bunker are by 2035 especially monstrous as by the time you get there radiation levels are bad but not terrible, they could easily have organised an evacuation at the very least several years ago that they chose not to shows they do not deserve the slightest bit of regard or sympathy and the game makes this clear by letting you go absolutely rip on a bunch of cannibals who have it coming - indeed your bullets are too good for them. I also like how the officer's journal makes clear that they also evidently turned on and ate those who did not agree. I hope that officer took a good few dozen with him before he went down.

[@WiseFish]

Yeah they’re truly a bunch of monsters by that point!

[@victorkane1154]

Always felt bad for that poor cultist who had his entire worldview destroyed by one of the very men who had acted as a guide and father figure to him only to be heartlessly shot dead by Miller moments later during a fit of sadness and confusion.

[@WiseFish]

I know, although he was a cannibal he was probably young and that is all he knew because of the priest. Sad really, think anyone in their position would loose their mind if that happened

[@victorkane1154]

@@WiseFish I agree. And personally I was under the belief that the priest was one amongst a small group of similar people meaning that they’d likely eventually recover from the Spartan assault and continue as they were unless Miller made a point to have the Spartans either block off all exists and leave them to starve to death or go in and purge the place. As for the Ark, with no radio communication to the outside world and presumably their only way out being damaged beyond repair after the escape the survivors would likely begin eating the scores of dead before turning on each other while many die off from disease without their only doctor.

[@WiseFish]

@@victorkane1154 well a grenade blew up the other entrance that led to D6 so I’d imagine they are fully blocked in. But I mean they Utilised very small paths before so maybe they’ll be back at it again. There must be other priests but I believe he was the one hypnotising the kids. The other priests may have been doing that as well though, not sure don’t remember reading anything about that.

@@WiseFish I don’t remember them being able to hypnotise people either, think they were just like minded people.

Maybe the translation is just wrong though haha but that is how Oleg escaped their capture, said he was able to shake it off. Just looking at the wiki and it just says brainwashed so I dono probably bad translation in my book

[@ghostplays2766]

I would like to add, that not all of the men in the bunker were construction workers, there were quite a few soldiers there too. Also, at least one of the communication officers rebeled against the canibals, and he attempted to kill the doctor. This can be read in the Officers journal (or diary, not sure about the name) collectible. Edit: I love your content, keep it up!

@@Gangster88232 just gonna ignore their incredible stealth and the fact that they use the darkness and small spaces for their advantage. Also that station believed they were the dead coming to collect their children. They already strike fear in people. Sure it’s just spears compared to guns but they still have clear tactics they use on people if they’re smart as well as poison and tranquilizer darts which can fly from anywhere without any visible muzzle flash. So I wouldn’t say it was a straight “wrong” opinion.

When it comes to The Ark. The few diary entries that you can collect through the mission detail a little bit about how the doc came to power, The 1st 3 diary entries you gather are from engineer technicians and construction workers and they talk about how the food rations are spread so thin that they can barely write, One of them mentions that the doctor thinks there should be a change in command and people start to believe him because they're desperate, He basically started a mutiny Against the command, After some trial-and-error they were able to get the outside working again although it at the loss of some people, At 1st what happened is survivors would come and the doctor and some of the command, Basically people in the know, Would keep the people in this "quarantine" In one of the diaries it talks about how just after the people came into quarantine they were told that they had rations with them and all of a sudden people were able to eat meat again, After the 2nd or 3rd group one of the officers notes that he it's getting suspicious of where these people are going, Eventually he does find out and he finds out that it was all basically a plan to take power, His last entry reads that he has his rifle and that hes going to take out as many of them as he can.

[@ismaelgingles9409]

Makes me wonder what would have happened if the government or the invisible watchers got to the bunker would they had shared the same fate or did they know what happened in the bunker and stayed away 🤔 so many unanswered questions

[@marcleslac2413]

As far as I can remember there was another interesting group of cannibals in one of the books from the Metro Extended Universe. They were also situated in a bunker with limited supplies and had a sort of caste system or smth in place to decide on who would get eaten.

[@WiseFish]

Wish I could read the extended work but barely any available in English or in physical form over here

I think there were also cannbibals, if I remember many of them and other really weird stuff in the "Le radici del cielo" by Tullio Avoledo. Although the book is not that good in my opinion, the ideas are actually frightening.

[@thunderboltproductionsshpk]

For me the most shocking parts of this entire masterpiece series are that Ark part cannibals, that was just crazy and i couldn't believe it. Second thing was when they realized it was Moscow Metro who blocked all forms of radio signals from the outside world to get in, that really made me mad and sad at the sametime. May God bless everyone involved in the making of this masterpiece franchise, it truly is an untouchable series!!!

@@WiseFish Well, after some time I realized that. Although the doctor could hat this idea, his "friends" would have never realized this...

[@keenanthornley7680]

I don't think that would have been sustainable, though. From what we see in the game, there aren't any female cannibals so it is safe to assume that if there were any originally they were definitely already dead by the time the Spartans arrived. And in the beginning of the cannibalistic behavior I can't imagine any females being too keen on being literally bred for their children's meat, and even if they were on board with that idea, what would they eat while waiting 9ish months? Now if we were to assume that the entire original population of the bunker were male, captured women would be overwhelmingly outnumbered by the cannibals, which brings us back to having to wait 9 months for children from women who would most definitely be raped if they were unwilling to be bred like pigs. Considering the trauma & poor nutrition and in a place that is very far from being a clean environment (at least the people in the Metro stations had sanitation workers, the bunker on the other hand is absolutely filthy) the majority of pregnancies would end in miscarriage or stillborn births. And on top of this, childbirth is actually incredibly dangerous & in conditions such as the bunker with literally only one doctor and very limited resources, mothers' mortality rate would be incredibly high, most likely worse than that of many 3rd world countries currently.

Are the spin-off books set within the _Metro 2033_ universe available in english as well? I read the Metro series and some spin-off material translated into german, that's why I don't know which books got published in english.. One spin-off series (written by another russian writer befriended with Glukhovsky) is set in St. Petersburg whose metro-system serves as a nuclear shelter just like Moscow's system and experiences similar conditions. In the Petersburg metro there's also a cult called "Exodus" trying to convince people to go to Kronstadt where supposedly an "arc" was waiting to bring people to an alleged land of milk and honey spared by the strikes but in reality it's all nothing but a set-up to lure people into the hands of a cannibal community which survived in a bunker at Kronstadt but fell back to cannibalism when resources ran out. The whole narrative is set around a cannibal cult, so it would have fitted this video perfectly.

The first book is amazing and leaves you second guessing whether or not something supernatural is going on. The second book drags and reads in a way that the author is debating the characters on philosophy and whoa boy is it boring. The third book picks up after the first (you can skip the second you aren't missing anything, it follows a bunch of irrelevant secondary characters that have no effect on the overall story). Honestly I like the games story more which loosely follows the first book and really the first book only which is the best book in the series. In the games mankind literally nuked heaven and hell so souls have no where to go hence why you have ghost in the metro.
