  • This one took a bit longer than usual sorry, ended up being a much bigger topic to cover than I expected! Hope you enjoy the stuff I've found though, I really loved the Faded Castle story since it was so creepy with the figure even terrifying a god-king. The Crowley Night of Pan stuff was something I speculated on at the end of the Shade of the Void video too so it was nice to get a bit more confirmation that was the route the writers are going with how people transform into Abyss Heralds/Lectors. Oh yeah I got a link to share from hoyo that if you click it, shows your support of me. I'd appreciate it if you could as I'm a bit late posting it! hoyo.link/dcffFBAL?kol=6FVANY2N Thanks for all the support and if I don't get another video out before Christmas, wishing you all a nice and cosy holiday season.

    Imagine the ass kicking Surtalogi would have given to Skirk if she had let Neuvillette kill his pet narwhal ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  • I think Surtr is tied to the story that Cater told to Lanoire. I think the flower that the witch took is Rhine and the little girl should be Rhinedottir. The thing is that Hoyo rarely just puts random stories in the game without purpose. Before I was not sure but as soon as the story progressed to talk about Surtalogi I became confident that those two are related.

    I hope for Surtloji's design; to be a mix of Childe's Foul Legacy, and the Abyssal Creature thatโ€™s inside the All-Devouring One, and a bit of Baptist; With Dark wings. Idk how, but you get what I meant. I really liked this video. With that level of creativity, you are extremely underrated, actually.

    Little supporting tidbit about the relationship of the second and third descender and the sinner: The Solar Chariot is said to be a star that descended during Morax' youth into the Chasm, so about 6000 years ago, roughly during the time of the Second Throne. It remained in the Chasm until the Archon war, when it leaped to the heavens in an attempt to stop it, despite the "great chasm's persuasions to stay". With the chasm of course also possibly being the home of the Sinner's crystal at the time. Which could mean a bunch of things: - Solar chariot could be the third descender - Second and third descender could indeed have arrived together, possibly as siblings - Third descender went to Celestia to try and end the Archon war - Neuv mentions that Archon war ended with First and Third creating the Gnoses - Meaning Third probably sacrificed themselves - Sinner seemingly tried to convince the Third not to do it. Possibly due to being their sibling

    At the part of the man scared for the clock reaching the midnight i could not think on anything but the Narzissencruz and the Doom Clock
  • @SenseiChop
    This has some incredible research put into it, extremely well done man! Only note I'd make is that whilst Loki is basically the Logi that translate to 'fire', Loki's name does come from mischief, which is actually the only link he has to that domain haha I never even thought of the light prince being the third descender and them possibly being Surtalogi, that's such a cool idea I love it! AMAZING VIDEO!!
  • @mikebiddle4070
    Your voice is so perfect for this. Makes me feel like Iโ€™m listening to a documentary. Love how deep this one was!

    Surtalogi, saint of the abyss meets Isshin the sword saint!
  • @Alice-ju3uh
    OH YOU WERE COOKING WITH THE FIVE SAINTS OF THE ABYSS THING
  • @Eusaiza
    The Laughing Man never disappoints ;)
  • @Eb-sq3jd
    I didn't even think about Surtalogi being the sinner but this theory make's a lot more sense
  • @TheKing-qz9wd
    Damn I really beed to scour the in game books thoroughly. Only part I was already family with was "Albedo says yellow is the ultimate end of alchemy" and "the Abyss Sibling likely wishes to save us from Celestia".
  • @roozeveltfox

  • @sylvistream
    it is very difficult for me to synthesize my own thoughts and theories but i appreciate videos like these that give me inspiration and a reference of where to start in my own lore digging. Thank you for your hard work ๐Ÿ’œ
  • @Who-el2dn
