Just put teammate's finger in your mouth and blow real hard
Basically Hunt Showdown's children of atom
Whos doc redmartin?
One of Desalles residents, some kind of doctor/supposed snake oil salesman. He liked to drink and gamble, which is how he lost his Winfield
Ah
Speaking of Lore Discussion - I noticed the wiki fan site thing for Hunt has some mistakes, probably from an autocorrect issue…Nadia Orville’s name is listed as “Nadine” (which I think fooled @upbeat kiln on a Reddit post awhile ago,) and Vincent Orsica’s name is listed as “Corsica” (which fooled me)…in the game it’s Nadia, and Orsica
Just something to keep in mind when reading that wiki, I guess
People doing edits on their phone 🙃
(Unless they changed it at some point in the game, too)
Uh oh! You're right 😅
the walmart assassin creed 
Chatgpt also draws lore related questions from the wiki and has no idea what it’s talking about when it comes to hunt lore
Who r the twins?
a pair of twin sisters who killed literally everyone in the lore i think.
Why'd they do that
Why don't you just read the lore document at this point
Cause I'm too lazy too thats y
Haha, it got me too!
Yep, prestige 100 I think
well uh twins obviously
Didn’t one of the twins turn into a snake or some shit
They were orphaned at a young age and then went to work under some distant relation that was a blacksmith. They worked with him for most of their adolescence and they each became very proficient with a few weapons. One day someone came and killed their blacksmith mentor so they killed him and started going on a killing spree. Lynch heard stories about them and went to recruit them basically to work for the aha and do some killing that she needed done. Then one of the twins realized they were being manipulated by lynch and talked to some serpent god or something. I don’t know much more than that
At least I think those are the twins you’re talking about
and then they killed lynch?
The Omen twins names are Morgott and Mohg and they were born cursed and thrown into what is basically known as the family embarssment shelter
my brother in christ wrong universe

Pov: you are a creature in the bayou taken over by the sculptor
The bunny represents how the sculptor manipulates things for personal gain
Or is it?
But hey, its just a theory.
A GAY THEORY 🏳️🌈 🌈
The reptilian and the new reptile guy are a couple
Isn’t the new reptile guy hunting the reptilian down
Nah the way I understood it is that Reptilian is mentoring this new guy
But the new Reptilian learned a dark and sinful secret about Keith Cowen (The Reptilian)
Also the new reptilian is about the same age as The Kid and Kevin Linus
He's either in his teens or early 20s
I thought I already explained to you guys
This event is all about reptilian trying to capture every boyfriend and girlfriend in the bayo to make them his
Because he is personification of greed
That is why he leaves those traps all over the bayo and why there are two new hunters who are his boyfriend and girlfriend respectively
As I recall, Keith killed his mentor, which eventually his ward also intends to do. His lady friend just seems to be following him for the money in hunting and gator-ing
The Ward is going to preform an even worse sin
Is he going to try to steal all the gfs and bfs reptilian going to get?
How can he do that to his mentor? 😭
Can't he just kill him instead like every ward before him? Wtf does he think he is?
I think that's part of the teachings and lessons
Aligators have been known to exhibit cannibalism in the face of survival
As such with the dire situation in Louisana there will undoubtedly be a time where the apprentice becomes the master
Think of it like the rule of two for Sith in Star wars, if the apprentice wishes to exceed the master he must take the life of the master
And murder is considered the ultimate sin so whatever the sin they're referring to that the Ward is going to do must be worse than murder
A fate worse than death
I think it's more about them being pricks
it's the reptilian's polycule. their idea of romance is trying to kill each other
Animals do that
Like spiders and prey mantis
Reptiles do it too
Snakes and some lizards

Never heard of Aligators or crocodiles doing it
Usually the females are passed around the males to maximize the egg production
Larger clutch = more of us = better chance for our species to survive which is our whole reason for existing
Reptilian isn't about sharing
sharing implies caring, caring gets you killed in Hunt
Caring is how not to have fun in hunt
So just let go and run whatever you want
Spawn into a match and throw 4 chaos bombs right off the start
je cherche de coequipier
May Chaos take the world bayou
Melina will find you as sure as night follows day even in another universe
Yo, is The Spirited canonicly bartender in one of the saloons you can visit ingame?
Probably
He’s the bartender for the lower DeSalle saloon (the boss lair building)
Yo, anyone has news on the hunt showdown live action show?
did it get canned?
is it still going?
cant find news on it
Didn't he give it back to him after he revived?
it was implied that he fought with him over it
davies smashed a bottle on the counter
I figured Revenant gambled it away and refused to give it up after he tried to make the best of a bad hand yet again...
but that makes sense too
can't have shit in the Bayou!
yeah but I thought the whole reason Davies shot Revenant was to get his earnings from a game Revenant lost
Well he lost a poker match and didn’t want to pay up, right?
was what my initial interpretation was
So no news on the show?
I didn't even know there was a show
maybe a YT channel doing edits or something but no official show to my knowledge
Davies wasn’t even the one to shoot the rev, it was a tier 2 hunter chick, Davies seems to have kept the gun, and we can see in his trailer he pushes it towards the guy, but he also breaks the bottle, because I mean there’s a dead guy in your shop, gotta be safe I guess
anyone has news on the hunt showdown live action show?
did it get canned?
is it still going?
cant find news on it
there literally was only 1 announcement of it starting production. Nobody has heard anything, nobody knows anything. We just need to hope and wait
Hope that it’s good
I always recommend “Taboo” (BBC) if you want something good to watch with period stuff and supernatural elements! No monsters in it except for the regular humans, though.
Lots of tense, dangerous situations in there
It was meant to be an exclusive show for a streaming service called "Binge" that hasn't even launched, and sounds like a start-up that desperately tries to grab venture capitalist money while over promising and under delivering on everything. https://binge.com/

What's the deal with Lynch currently?
Chary is dead and we know the AHA is dissolving
Not sure where i remember hearing but yea if im not mistaken she is from another dimension
Speculated the same that the sculptor comes from
Wdym
presumed dead but she's likely hiding out somewhere in the bayou filling masonry jars with god knows what
I remember a story about somebody having a vision of a giant snake
Maybe from one of the website stories
Or one of the weapon entries
That's the twins' story
Ah
I think was either kevin or viper alao had something about a big white snake involved w them
Ah yee, I think it was just speculation that that's the kinda anti-sculptor and related to Lynch
Iirc in Serpents moon the snakes we were burning was helping Chary?
I think the moon was its own entity that was just vibing untill mr chary decided to start trying to throw hands i dont think the moon is inherently against what the sculptors doing
Yea i think so
Yeah, Chary was basically drawing hunters to him with gifts and power and then sacrificing them to gain power to take control of the moon
That's what dark tribute was
Im just curious what these next events will be about if the moons still gonna be the main point or if theyll switch back the sculptor or something entirely new
In Serpent's moon we rescue(?) The trapped souls by interacting with those creepy bleeding things
Nah them mfrs are dead i think im p sure your just putting them out of their misery
I think the moon arc kinda reached its conclusion, the moon chose her champion and Kevin with the help of Viper etc managed to stop Chary
And Chary is dead dead
Yeah
I think that's it
Reconsolidating power
I think as we learn more about the power the sculptor put on the earth people are more likely to try to abuse it
Which is why experienced hunters or people with the AHA kinda don't care about stopping the sculptor and instead using their new powers and knowledge for their own interests
Wasn't there a big snake in kingsnake mines at the end of the serpent moon story
I think the noises they heard were Ochenkov's widow right?
oh yeah ur right
how did delara die
viper's snake
at the end of serpent moon it's alive but in the sparks pistol skin it says delara is dead
Chary promised viper they'd help heal their snake if they worked for him
But then the snake died anyways and it lead Viper to learn Chary is evil etc
Then somehow during the events of serpent's moon the snake came back to life
Chary basically lures you in with promises of helping you with specific things that are important to you if you do stuff for him, and once you do enough he just sacrifices you to gain power
The lore of this game seems cool
It would be if it wasn't all over the place
whats the lore
18 naked Cowboys at devant ranch
Brokeback Bayou
I mean we got lulu and Sophia
this is lore huh>
Speculation of future lore
Most lore is between the lines. I know the game something "ashes of the eternal" developers spun off Crytek. Sadly game isn't supposed be good but shows.direction game was.taking.
more steampunky
Average lousiana wednesday
Lmao
Need more lore, more character Q&As more everything story based 🙏🙏🙏
Instead of giving us more characters they should organize and expand on the characters they already have
The amount of legendary hunters we've got is a little crazy
I love legendary hunters as much as the next guy and there's certainly a lot of ideas and concepts I'd love to see but they should slow down a bit and maybe focus on other content
I'm curious about the lore for the new boss
The Q&A for Sheriff Hardin has me ready to buy his skin
Like cool lore details go a long away
I’ve ready everything they have in the lore and it’s got some solid foundations
I hope with the addition of the new tutorial and the first voiced hunter they add some more depth
Seeing as how it's likely an aligator of some kind I wonder if they'll change the lore explanation why there aren't currently any alligators in the bayou
The reason being the water Devils drove them out
what weapon was revenant killed by? his own? looks like he was shot by fuckin cannon lmao
He was killed by the mountain main but I don’t know the weapon in question
hm okay
well there just has to be the biggest, badded, thickest-shelled gator around, and it just ate hunter corpses and water devils as snacks
i'd imagine it's possibly mutated and/or fused with human corpses
besides, i've found these prints south of Prison on DeSalle.
They're not close to a trap, don't glow in dark sight and if you look closely they're very spread apart and the gator that did these was very, very big
yup
i checked the water but there's obviously nothing
that'd explain why the gator hunters are back in the bayou
trying to hunt whatever this monstrosity is
maybe even canonically our favourite croc boi got to DeSalle trying to hunt the gator, only to find himself as one of the corpses in the boss?
and that'd explain why he's absent and why the disciples are looking for him
idk that's just my imagination running wild. with the gator boss concept that was posted in the fanart section a while back
this one, in case you're not familiar with it
Is he not killed in the trailer for the barkeep guy w a terminus if im not mistaken
.
The barkeeper didn’t kill him but I think he ended up with the revenant’s uppercut

He definitely blasts him within the first like 2 seconds
W pennyshot aswell
.
I’ve been told multiple times that the mountain man is the one who killed him and that the trailers aren’t lore accurate
@upbeat kiln if anyone knows for sure id imagine itd be this fellow
I just noticed this note after watching some of the old trailers. This was the first teaser for traitor's moon and the book is the same one referenced in the devil's moon lore. It looks like it says "To Lawrence(?), Maybe this book will teach you a lesson before it's too late."
if ya ask me idt that pennyshot shotgun has enbough accurace and power to punch through a man heartt in n out, but could be wrong i guess
Yea idk why they used penny shot in the trailer but
The other guy was blatantly wrong, it was a tier 2 hunter with a terminus
It’s in the dark sight trailer
So
I can get a hunter with this name
Is that just random?
Or like actually a lore caldwell lol
It’s random
It's just weird that it's in the naming pool
could be pennies or could be just the poker chips flyin round, a normal 12g can most def punch a hole through a man, but lookin at dmg, id guess slugs
went in pretty clean, exited messily
Don't know who Lawrence is, but it really helps explain the "dime novel" writing style of the Traitor's and Serpent's Moon lore
Also, interesting choice in the publisher names being Chidam & Lima
Yeah but also it was almost shot point blank. Wouldn't surprise me to have a very clean entry wound even with buckshot at this range. Also, looking through the exit wound, there's no hint at cavitation, it's just a cone.
Imo, slugs would've just gone through with a clean entry and exit at this range, but chest deformation due to internal cavitation
yea true that
What is the wellspring canonically
And why are the hunters in quickplay “damned souls”
How does the wellspring save them from damnation
the wellspring is a pocket of potent energy that sometimes appears within the hunting grounds.
all hunters are damned, some more than others, the serum they take to keep themselves from turning into grunts/gives them hunter powers causes a spiritual disease over time. this diseases is affected by unknown factors, sometimes luck, sometimes determination, but a lot of hunters succumb anyway, and eventually they waste away, unless they can procure the energy from a wellspring or receive a treament from someone who has captured the wellspring. the energy within seems to be able to restore whatever it is that the serum eats away, maybe their soul or some other spiritual energy.
Thanks
So, all “damned souls” are just Hunters who got unlucky and died in the regular Bounty Hunt.
Darn, it says all that in the lore?
If so, where do the ‘soul survivors’ go after they make it out? Do they just poof back into existence?
Well the soul survivors are on the same maps that bounty hunter are
You think they just head back to New Orleans with their equipment?
Well he said all hunters are damned and they occasionally need to top up their energy by consuming a wellspring or something
I’ve had games where I’ve survived with 0 wellspring energy
So that doesn’t make much sense
Sole survivors arent dead at all, they just walk back with whatever scraps of wellspring they got
Interesting.
Also, I have two questions nagging at me:
-
Does the AHA sell guns to Hunters? Including European firearms? If that’s true, how wealthy are they?
-
Do the tier I and II Hunters have to go through some kind of training when they join the AHA? I heard they were drilled but don’t know how true it is
Trevors/the carcass gunrunner smuggles in rare guns & gun parts, some hunters bring in their own, plus im sure theres a thriving trade community
the tiered hunters get training based on which faction they join up with most likely
That’s true
I forgot all about the carcass gunrunner.
It looks like the tier II hunters come from different walks of life, which i’d expect to be more violent than the Tier Is
tier 2s are more or less evolved tier 1s or more advanced recruits
Civil War veterans, people wearing cavalry hats and wool vests
its a hunter tradition to burn their white shirts
So I'm actually curious
Considering it's 1895, wouldn't civil war vets be in their 50's?
Seems a bit old to be huntin
There’s only three civil war vets in the game that I’m aware of
Aren't there tier 2's and 3's with union cavalry hats?
One of the tier 2 hunters, the bridgewater legendary hunter, and of course Scrapbeak
Also I don’t think age is really a concern
There are many legendary hunters past their time
True
And they’re all amped up on magical dark sight juice
So how are people like Cain, Kill Buyer, Monroe etc getting the serum?
I'm asking how rather than if they have it
The aha will hire anyone to hunt bounties
Doesn’t matter
I mean tier 1 nobodies are getting serum
I can't imagine Cain would like be coherent enough to walk up and ask for the serum
I have a feeling a lot of the AHA stuff is very ‘underground’, with compartmentalized representatives and even secret ‘Lodges’ …probably not meeting halls, etc.
They may have approached Cain, maybe before he turned feral? Maybe after? He seems like he’s had more intimate contact with the otherworldly parts of the Bayou Problem than other people
Kill Buyer seems like a one-off suicidal character, anyhow…(If Hunt were a TV series…or movie, he might be in one scene only)
Honestly would be better if some of the legendaries just didn’t have bios
Also some hunters dont need the syrum they just have the ability through some other means
Bridgewater's not a Civil-War vet
I'd say it depends. A lot of them fought young, so they're either in their 40s or early 50s
The black tier 2 appears to have just bought a brown coat off of somebody, since there were no (legal) colored troops in the Confederate ranks.
Bridgewater doesn't look like he's 50
I mean he could but I doubt it
Scrapbeak is technically a civil war veteran
And Prodigal daughter's mom was a civil war vet
So if Bridgwater was a civil war vet he'd be old enough to be Prodigal daughter's dad
I'd say 20s or 30s
Bridgewater fought against the Natives after the Civil-War
Yeah I think Bridgewater is an American-Indian war veteran
Exactly
It'd be cool if we got a hunter with a Krag Jorgensen skin and a military appearance that fits the Spanish-American war
Something like this
I've been asking for a Buffalo soldier for awhile now and it'd be the perfect hunter to give us another Krag skin maybe one of the two variants coming out next questline
I mean
Bridgewater IS a Buffalo Soldier
the guy on the right is the style of Bridgewater's uniform
I'm talking about something like this
Oh, I see
John Marston in one of these
It just hangs off his back
I love Bridgewater but I'd love a USMC from 1904 as a hunter
Also hands down Bridgewater has the best trailer out of any other hunter
I am however quite fond of Frau Perchta and Reptilian trailer too
any ghoul related lore? im working on a fan fiction
I don't think it's ever explained, but general consesus IIRC is that international & the eccentric hunters are typically hired by the AHA.
Though it wouldn't surprise me if there are some hunters who know about the Dark Sight serum and use it for their own initiatives (outside of the AHA).
Okay so you ever hear of this one particular japanese animated TV show?
NO WHATS THIS??
Hey guys the lore tap for the new sparks silencer, that is all.
Serious replies only please
What ghouls? The grunts?
I don’t know what ghouls are in this game. The grunts (base ai) are what I assume you’re talking about
There’s an infection that turns you into a grunt basically
And some pregnant women have turned into hives
The sculptor is the one that brought the infection to the world as far as I’m aware
The revenant has nothing to do with the infection. He just died and was brought back to life
There’s a hunter called the infected that is battling his own infection while fighting the infection in the bayou
thank you basil
Sculptor started it off, they've been creating most of the monsters in the swamps, then basically using the OG monster as a "mold" to make copies of, hence why the hives look the same, same grunts, etc... the Widow and kevin have also died and been rezzed (well, technically, they all have lol) but they both are half corpse when you look at their models
Is the butcher like a meat head on steroids
Specifically he’s a dead meathead with a pig head stapled on by a taxidermist that was brought back by the sculptor
Common taxidermist L
so someone saw a meat head and decided to glue stuff to it and the sculptor thought it was funny, got it
that about sums it up
@loud steeple the infection and diseased looking organic alien shit is a by product of the Sculptors influence AND how thin the veil is in the area. Exotic energies and a number of extradimensional beings at work.
That we know can take human form. Sculptor can't create and is implied "sculptor" is a class of being not a name. This one is just very powerful.
Hey what's wrong with taxidermists?
They bring out the inner beauty in people
no not all taxidermist just this one
He was only a taxidermist as a hobby while he slowly went insane. He was a wealthy scion of the big farm peeps
He didn't go insane, though.
He thought he could make money selling a stuffed meathead to a freak show
The leather apron was to keep the body firm while drying
Also the pig head doesn't have eyes because he was shite at casting eyes
But the fact that the butcher is in fact full of clay explains why he's such a goddamn bullet sponge
Mr. Chary and this pig farming taxidermist would get along
Their love of clay would be the talking subject
they should take a pottery class together
same we can't stick the butcher in a big kiln and turn him into a demon statue
Turn him into scp 173
A weeping angel themed boss might be cool in hunt
Like the Sculptor comes across a plantation statue and turns it into som horrific gargoyle monster or something
As cool as the idea is
I don’t want to turn my back to deal with a duo and get ganked instantly cause one of my shithead randoms are already dead
I still really hope we get a werewolf boss... that fan made trailer with Hazmat voicing it was dope af. looking forward to seeing what this new boss is like
I try to educate randoms how the game works and how to swiftly take care of bosses
Insulting them doesn't really work all the time
Who is "RN" in the lore pages/weapon pages?
Why thank you 
"Research Notes" meant to be written by a variety of people in the AHA looking back on the documentation of the events in the game
Ah, gotcha, thanks
so the AHA doesn't go defunct after Huff's death?
Nope, it's a nation wide organization and the lore from Devil's Moon suggests that Elwood Finch takes over as director at some point.
Neat
before that i think chary took over as a pronvincial director of new orleans
fairly certain he was mentioned to have a pretty big position within the organization post huff
Finch seemed to run the day to day aha outpost, while chary evidently took over “director” activities, at least till he fucked off
full of clay describes my brain in this game most of the time
And stomps around so damn loud.
Supernatural
Yes.
A curse or smt
El Diablo
You can say that.
So an ancient being has control over the bayou with some kind of demonic infection
And the people are trying to monopolise out of the research?
Is that it?
They at first did this to get rid of the beings
But over time it turned to greed.
For the money
The fame
Some of you may appreciate this, but this is an army issued bison hide jacket from the 1870s, these became popular with the public after officials like Nelson Miles started buying them in bulk for their troops, some of the private coats that came later were dyed black, these jackets are or probably inspired the jackets Billy Story and The Blackcoat use
That's really neat
Biological, Hunt Showdown is a prequel installment to the very popular and well known franchise Resident Evil
🤣
there are records of multiple Sculptors, this one has the ability to control multiple entities at once, as well as clone and resurrect souls/demons. story is kinda all over, but in the early days yes, the AHA were using the creatures/demons for profit and not really doing much to get the Sculptor. the OG dude in charge of the Louisiana branch was killed because of this. That kinda broke things, with hunters splitting up. Chary came in and stared trying to steal the sculptor's powers/take control of the moon. that started the Moon trilogy.
it's both biological and demonic- bugs are a major player, but the initiation uses a demon to give hunters their powers. the sculptor copies things they like, which is why meatheads are the same, copies of grunts, armors, etc...
What's the current year in hunt? And how much as the events/supernatural stuff thrown history off course?
I feel like a Demonic take over of part of Louisiana would cripple the State's ability to participate in foreign problems considering the resources that would have to go into containment (not that the situation is being handled as it should be)
The year is 1895. The Louisiana Event is limited to some area of it, the one you see in game, so very small part of the entire state
So far only the locals and the various AHA branches know something is up. The state governor was told not to worry about it by the director, that it’s just a flu, not unlike the yellow fever. We see posters in game saying as much, so likely travel to the area is restricted
The year IN-GAME, is always 1895, each map is a different season. But in lore, we’re in the future, reading entries from anywhere between 1894 to 1903
damn, pretty impressed they managed to cover it up so well
helps that it's happening in rural sections, it's being sold as a "poor man's" disease so the gov doesn't care
Is the Reverend a virgin?
He may or may not be but I know Mary is definitely a Virgin
I both do and don't want to know what his train of thought was for that question
Is Cain a virgin
Am I a virgin?
Idk
@prisma ermine He's Infected and turning just hasn't yet.
Revenant?
You're talking about the Infected. Revenant is the undead version of Bad Hand who was shot for cheating at a poker game
Yeah, but he still lives because being infected? He is just still self aware.
He's brought back by something/someone called the Night Speaker? I can't find a single reference to it other than Revenant's bio, so who knows what it's affiliated with. I don't think it's anything to do with the Sculptor's infection since Revenant still collects bounties
he lives because of doctor john's voodooun stuff
Ahhh didn't know specific mentions of a differene
Couple stories were infected was wounded badly and slowly corrupting
if you're referring to the infected, he's slowly and painfully turning into a grunt due to the infection
not sure if he's dying or not though
but the revenant is more or less a zombie
Where does it say Doctor John specifically? I've looked all over the place
it was in one of the desalle teaser trailers
where the revenant is shown shot dead and resurrected, presumably with the help of doctor john
Trailers aren’t necessarily lore accurate
That same trailer shows the bartender killing the revenant but lore suggests it was the mountain man that killed him
true, but its the next best thing we got to nothing in regards to explaining how the revenant came to be
wait, mountain man killed the revenant? what?
Also the revenant’s lore tab says the night speaker brought him back but the trailer shows doctor John doing it
Naw the woman in the Skin Flint event lore.
what woman? you mean ochenkov's?
Exactly, and since nowhere does it ever call Doctor John the Night Speaker, I'm hesitant to follow what the trailer shows.
There's a story that came out during the same event Skinflint was introduced
@empty owl Naw the storyline for the event to get Skin Flint
never saw it, is there a picture of it anywhere?
Just story of a Hunter shot in the neck living as she turns.
Accounts Received the Adventures of Timothy Stone @empty owl
righty
Night Speaker is just another legendary.
Doctor John is implied to be someone else.
If not explicitly stated.
The revenant was brought back to life by the night speaker according to his lore tab, meaning that it wasn’t doctor John and the trailers aren’t lore accurate
Certainly when they contradict the written lore.
Which is often confusing or veiled.
Way more supernatural shit than the Sculptor.
Since we have Night Acolyte and Night Seer, can we link Revenant to them? Seems like Night Speaker would be part of Isaac's cult if the trend continues. They are tied into Chary's messed up stuff, so having the ability to bring someone back would track.
Good morning, and how are you? Soft?
So, my name is Dhiego, I've been playing Hunt for almost a year, I've been having problems playing lately, performance issues and everything, my processor can't support the game anymore kk anyway, I'd like to ask for some help from you guys, who could, I want to change my kit but I don't have the necessary financial conditions at the moment, if someone or some group of people could help me, I would be extremely grateful, very much!
Try general my guy, this isn't the place for this
Idk where you keep getting this mountain man stuff from
Lore for the new DLC suggests that one of Linus' letters from Chapter 13 of Devil's Moon reached the new character and got her to join the hunt
The little old lady skin is poppin
the other new trailer has the wrong dates on the stamps, they all say 1885
actually the dates are all kinds of weird, it lists date of funeral services as the date of innoculation
probably a way to hide the organization/their involvement from the rest of the world.
i find the status’s to be interesting, youve got initiate, rook, regulated, and legend.
kinda wonderin if thatll appear ingame
Anyone know the deal with the connections between The blind lady and Luz Mala?
Both carry Vetterli deadeyes, both have similar ornamentation on them, both can see shit in the darkness
Coincidence? I think not
They both have Spanish like folk lore too
From the new bloodline trailer there seems to be a ranking with hunts from lowest to highest:
Initiate
Rook
Regulated
And Legend
But what does these ranks mean? My theory is that it’s based on the number of days your in the hunt and how many kills you have.
I mean its the bloodline levels
tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, and legendary
legendary is obviously not a bloodline tier
Agreed, What’s also interesting is that in reapers info it states his “pseudonym” now idk if the hunter chooses their pseudonym or not, though it could be different for each legendary hunter
I’m just glad that we’re getting to know how the matches work in games universe, documentation, stats, etc
Doubt that
How do you come from "rook" to "regulated"
I think there is whole system
I mean, they are both hunters
Did you guys read crime and punishment?
Old moneylender lady strikes back
the dostoyevsky book or the sherlock holmes game?
Dostoyevsky
never read it, heard of it though
Uh, basically there was a nasty moneylender lady
And main character killed her with an axe to the head
Fits the time period 
lol Kev has had it with these moon killing hunters, opted to bring in granny to drag everyone around by their ears until folks behave
Think it's more of nick names earned in an insular and cultish industry gaha
But obviously Hunters are ranked by the AHA based upon ability. They are distributors of bounties. Same as if the bounties were other humans.
Nah man Kevin has had it with the Moon herself
lol who better to break the news to your SO that y'all be breaking up than grandma
so if the bosses are copies of things that the sculptor brought to life, who in gods name created the spider?
Mass grave
Head we see is the head of a little girl
They're not exactly copies but rather crude imitations of nature's natural beauty
Spider came about because of mass burial
Butcher is a walking meat head freak show packed full of concrete with a pig's head stabled to the body
Assassin is literally just a hivemind collection of bugs that make up one giant organism with sharp blades protruding from the wrists
And lastly Scrapbeak is just a dude from the Civil War that became an amputee and had freak experimentation conducted on his now infected corpse
Assassin was also a living guy (Vincent Orsica), but definitely seems to also have been deceased
Well whoever Vicent Orsica is he's definitely deceased now
Or perhaps in a state inbetween
Most likely somewhere in between
he was alive and doing his bug thing in 1891
so no reason to think he wouldn't still be in 1895, though i doubt he takes his hunter form much
I think once the sculptor replicates something the original is probably dead
I'd like to imagine that the letter that Kevin wrote to Luz Mala went a little something like this...
"need honter, call this number 4 gud tim, xoxoxo kevin"
"Dear Luz Mala, I don't know if we speak the same language but you should totally come join me in Louisana so we can tear shit up fr fr"
No that's exactly how the letter probably went
Kevin is 15 and iirc Luz Mala is around the same age
I may be missing something, but is there a reason some of the lore characters aren’t legendary hunters? William Salter, Finch, Allison, Jos, Fin, Lynch, etc?
That’s what happened with the hives and immolators.
And I suppose hell hounds too
I assumed he has been killed, since The Assassin’s face is *gone* - and he has what could be a gunshot wound on the back left of his head - possibly died, resurrected in a way by someone, maybe the Sculptor/Thing in the swamps?
It’s weird how some of the human bodies are enlarged - like Meatheads, and The Assassin
Some bizarre “Charles Dexter Ward” things happening
He does look rather skeletal
Hey, doesn’t look like a hole there! it looks black on console
there was a letter ??
blind lady (the prescient) got her symbol from doing the dark ritual that night seer showed her so she could see the future , but in luz mala lore says she took the rifle from someone who was " on a dark path" and named it del ojo. She probably killed someone in night seers cult to get the weapon and named it after all the eye symbols on it, so they might not be connected .
Yeah it was one of the Devil's moon event passages
Luz Mala is definitely in league with Kevin making her a Lunar hunter and if you read the description for the Krag Talisman skin it talks about Ira Ozol (the prescient) and how she will "unleash hell and justice on Chary's lot" meaning their goals are the same so they could be connected somehow
oooohhh i didnt know that part O.O i started playing end of march , i wonder who she killed to get the weapon. that's pretty sweet luz is my fav hunter and iv been trying to learn her whole story. im guessing devils moon event stuff is my best bet ?
Yeah near the end of Devil's moon is when she was dropped as a hunter and I definitely remember a Devil's moon passage where she receives a letter from Kevin about "coming to Louisana" and "I hope we speak the same language"
Kevin sent out a bunch of letters all over the world
So they weren’t necessarily directed at anyone in particular but they fell into the hands of people who have then proceeded to find their way to Louisiana
Biatata and the bone mason also came bc of the letter (I think in the dev update or roadmap video, one of the two, they mentioned that there’s a big focus on international hunters this year and they’re all coming due to Kevin’s letter)
Damn Kevin really has a way with the ladies
He has that sort of pathetic wet cat energy everyone wants to adopt
XD is kevin by chance the kid? cause he seems like he'd have said wet cat energy lol. i probably should have asked who kevin was before 😛
Kevin is just constantly getting the crap beat out of him by chary and his followers and getting resuscitated by the moon
Ooh ok that's Kevin gotcha, damn thats rough no wonder he went for the "message in a bottle " approach lol. hes gotten smacked up so many times hes just sending random letters like" welp whats the worse that can happen i die... again?"
It's kinda neat she was given the title 'Herald of the Moon' in a letter written by the Concubine, so she's definitely important within the Lunar Pact
ayyyy my fav hunter is a boss and i didnt even know it. Shes this talented but shes only a teenager isnt she? 🤯
I don’t think there’s an age given to luz mala. My assumption for the hunters are that all of them except for Kevin are 20+
wait, the concubine wrote letters?
I should make a new meme where Chary's in it
I highkey want to see him in the Moon Knight/Dracula meme telling Mrs. Ochenkov he wants his goddamn heart back
yeah that makes sense actually cause she did survive her younger years being lost in the plans so she prob like 19-25. i agree kevin and the kid also seem the youngest
I think the kid is significantly older than kevin personally
like I think he's somewhere in his early-mid twenties
so now the new questline will include ghouls, can any1 find any lore related to them?
Is there a lore explanation for reviving hunters or is that primarily just game mechanics?
will there be more to the Reeves and Martin undertakers?
they're featured in the bloodlines trailer
Hey, everyone. Does anyone remember where the story of Felis and the mountain lion is? I can't find it 
Mastery of the Terminus handcannon and the regular centennial (it's connected atleast) I think
terminus and centennial masteries
Thank yoooouuu ❤️
What is the name of the Salter brothers? William, Charlie, and who is the third?
It’s a troll, don’t feed it
word. was wondering what I'd missed. I added ghouls into my hunt dnd campaign and was excited for a second.
ghouls can be another word for common zombies
Huh. haven't heard that here but i guess we call em grunts not zoms. all good. hadn't seen any info on new enemy type and was worried/excited at the idea. Not that i think we need more, lord knows i've had my shit run by armoreds/grunts getting involved in the middle of firefights lol
#lore-discussion people don't play hunt
Unsure if dying to Ai counts as playing
You asked, I answered
@rotund ferry Beautiful, thank you!
How old is the Bone Mason?
I'd gander early to mid 70s?
Is there a third? In the Crown & King entries there's mention of a Moses, Lee, and Martin. But, I think they're all brothers. The only person Charlie ever mentions in the context of his brother is William. But, I may be overlooking other mentions of the Salter brothers.
Glad you like it! 
Im gonna be real never realized thier was more then one salter
Yeah there's more than one Frisk too!
Who is Frisk, again?
Lonely Howl
Lonely Howl, Dire wolf and Lunar wolf
The dad is there too but he's dead
They were once a happy little family of wolf hunters until big brother got too big for his pelt
Dire and Luna wolf are the parents, Leonel only attempted to murder his father
That one’s a bit of a scuff up by crytek because on release it made it seem like it was a brother
The lore doesn't really elaborate on that
Leonel's Pax claw says "it was used against the father in the ultimate act of betrayal" the only ultimate act of betrayal I can possibly think of is that of Familial Homicide
I guess it could've been attemptive
i think it was clarified somewhere that it was just an attempt
new grandma is lulu when she older get over it
Emma Webster finally had enough of Sylvester's shenanigans
AHA I KNEW it! I thought Dire was dad, everyone else thought he was brother. I thought Lonely's stuff read that he tried to kill Dad but failed and ran, and now mom n dad are hunting him down
Ok, one question there:
This new grany-character. She is literally blind. ...
HOW the Hell can she "see" then?
Let's say it is for the same reason the one card-player character is dead but still walking.
Or just the acknowledgement of magic.
Then what is the background lore?
Why is there no background lore XD ?
Like, did she made a pact with the devil?
Or ... is it some side effect of the corruption?
Or is it just her sheer force of will or wtf?
I need more information man ...
Well we've got the Prescient, who can see due to some voodoo magic, so I'd presume Granny did something similar- but technically hunters see in dark sight when they close their eyes, so anyone blind could in theory become not blind by virtue of the initiation/injection. Revenant is also alive cause of voodoo magic. I mean, we've got the widow and kev who are both dead but alive from moon magic/chary's black magic soooo magic def a thing.
or maybe it's just her granny senses
She does mostly hang out in dark and spooky places so she may be relying more on hearing, not that that would help you shoot a gun the right way
echolocation? she's constantly using her high pitched granny voice "Come here for cookies sweetie!" to in fact locate you to force feed you lead
She smells your fear.
I'm curious to know what they'll do with him when they find him
will they just kill their own son? or will they try to talk it out?
knowing hunt they'll probably just try to kill him
idk. Pertcha is involved- Luna sees her as a way for them to be a fam again, or for them to kill him
recall reading about that in the devil moon stuff
who knows if they will finish it out, Hunt likes to leave stories half finished
So, was Frank Gravel Reptilian's partner/mentor?
Mentor
That is actually a bad-ass answer <D
Hi, Any one have crashes issues with the game?
That would be something for #hunt-general or #troubleshooting
Anyone else find it strange they decided to give the reptile of all hunters this all of a sudden in depth story line
I'm glad they did only because it introduced the Scaled Ward and the Skinned. I'm a big fan of their character designs
Yeah i like the skinned but i don’t really like the dreadlocks
The skinned is so babygirl
I’m a woman of culture and know a babygirl when I see one
Nah, the cool kids would call him Mr. Killian 'babygirl' Gravel
One of the few Hunters I'd willingly follow into the Bayou tbh
Does The skinned have the rizz?
Of the unspoken, comfortable in his own masculinity variety? yes
I made a rizz tier list the other day
The hunt tiger list maker doesn’t have hunters devils moon+
But the skinned would be sitting comfortably in S tier
Bro what
Kevin had better be at the top of that list Miss
Look at all the female hunters he's got in the lunar pact
Yeah he’s 14 lol
Mary is like what? 30? And she tore his little heart out!
Yeah it's stated in Traitor's Moon
I wasn't around for traitors moon I started playing hunt just before Devil's moon
Let's not forget Chary ripped snakes out of him for hours
His hunter model looks 40 but the lore mentions multiple times people look at him and go “wow that’s a kid”
Yeah he’s a baby lol
Yeah I guess so
If he looks like that when he's 14 I wonder what he'll look like when he's 21
Fucking doomguy probably
Clean shaved but horrifying to come face to face with
I have a creeping suspicion they wanted to age up his model for legal "we can't be killing kids in video games" reasons. But it could also be there's more that happens to him over the years, hence half his skin is blue, his eyes being white, etc
I think it’s also model restrictions
They can’t really make a smaller kid hunter model
Skyrim is a game
I feel like his skin & eyes happened after Mary ripped out his heart and he came back again
Yeah, I always wondered if that was the catalyst. What a thing to come back to jfc
I just want Kevin to have a nap
I'd be better off if Kevin was aged up tbh because it's both funny but fucked up considering everything that's happened to the poor boy
The moon is cruel and won't let him rest
I like the idea that one of the writers put forth in the trans day of visibility stream that lulu and Sofia have somewhat adopted him
Which I think is also funny bc you have Kevin who is this good, nice kid, adopted by two women who are wayyyy too into murder
Wait Kevin is trans?
What gender?
Agender, a non-binary identity
What is a gender?
Oh
I thought Sofia and Lulu were gay but aren't non binary people not attracted to anything?
lulu is confirmed lesbian, Sofia is maybe bi? its not really stated
I might be thinking of something different
its the viper that is agender
That's aesexual
NB is a gender identity not a sexuality
They’re both lesbians, sofia is just a NB lesbian
Viper and Sofia are both agender canonically yeah
If she's non binary how can she be lesbian if she doesn't identify as male or female?
where we getting this about sofia?
Or does that not matter?
The trans day of visibility stream
From one of the writers who handles Sofia’s lore
damnit crytek put the lore where we can see it
Crytek would never do such a thing
It's gotta be subtle and vague as possible and splintered throughout several different events and in-game sources
It’s complex, but NB people who are assigned female at birth commonly still identify as lesbians
I feel like there should be a specific word made to identify people like that but it should have to be done carefully as to not offend anyone like how Latinx is offensive to Latinos
I don't actually know what Latinx means or stands for all I know is it can really make some people mad
by and large the lesbian community is fine w NB lesbians
But I really like the queer rep in hunt, Lulu and Sofia’s relationship is one of my favorite things
I guess that's fine but there's definitely some confusion there because I had no clue you could be Non binary but still be classified as gay or lesbian or bi respectively
Learn something new every day I suppose
It was the word made to be inclusive within a binary lexicon, but many within the latin community say that latine might be a more suitable word to use
But, that's all I know
Anyways back to earlier the whole idea of Kevin being this young boy going through these horrific and brutal confrontations reminds me of the Clicker cenobyte from Hellraiser 2 when you find out that he's actually a 9 year old boy that Leviathan tortured in every way imaginable
Pretty messed up stuff
I didn't think Hunt was as brutal and dark as it was until I read the Hive lore..
Nothing is Hunt besides maybe the Spider lore is as horrible as the lore on the Hives
the meatheads up there too
Yeah its all pretty messed up
hellhounds are sad but pretty tame
What makes the Hive lore so dark for me is all the straight forward and blunt detailing. Something about unconsensual action toward the sexual reproduction process bothers me. Like when a face hugger or Xenomorph from Alien impregnates a victim with the juvenile Xenomorph
The pain that revolves around women and pregnancy within the lore is really sad
They're stripped of their freedom because if I recall they are all fully aware of what is going on and are still conscious but they can't control their actions
I'd assume the same goes for hives and not just grunts
It's still wildly messed up
unless the sculptor binds their soul into the clone, which is also possible
Well look at what Chary does to souls
I'd say that's probably the case
Necromancy is the one true degeneracy
I'm curious, just how many of the grunts are original and how many are clones? Because the lore talks about entire congregations being infected, but there's so many more than that lumbering around
Well the infection is an active spreading pathogen right? Anyone who walks into the quarantine zones without hunter-like capabilities and special drugs are at an extremely high risk of getting infected so it's one of those things where whoever is wandering into the Bayou is added to the list of grunts I'd assume
There was an incident in New York too I think
but the aha was actually doing its job there and has so far kept it under wraps
the NY one was separate
Dead meme but the infection came from Ohio
we need a hunter from Ohio
his lore? ohio sucked so bad he'd rather go fight in the Hunt
We could have a locomotive driver
That came from Ohio
But that might be too soon
Secretly this locomotive driver derailed a train and spread the infection and he travels to the Bayou to see firsthand all the chaos and harm he's caused
We also need a Hunter from Florida
Essentially Flordia man
thats just the redneck
I guess any of the Reptilian hunters like Skinned, hornback, Ward and Kieth are all from Florida
Nah redneck is either from Arkansas or Alabama
Oh no, we have a different flavor of redneck
Very different from Hunt Redneck
Redneck otherwise known as Mister sister fister
WV got some of those kinds
I seen a fella one time there what could've come right outta the bayou
One time I was at a retail store in Florida and a man with no shoes and a swimsuit and muddy T shirt came in and started walking around and giving people these glares with crazy in his eyes and one of the ladies who tries to sell people phone services came up and he flipped her the bird
One of the weirdest thing I've ever seen fr
I was in Colorado one time and this man with dog barf barged into the bathroom and yelled "My dog yacked on me!!!"
These two people I've encountered in my life are candidates for Hunters in my humble opinion
you saw a less insane version of cain
standard mcdonalds activities
Yeah
I've seen fights happen in McDonalds but a man barging into the joint and yelling his dog puked on him with literal chunks running down his pants is hilarious and weird
Speaking of lesbian relationships, I don't see much brought up about Jos and Allison and that bums me out
I would LOVE to see more abt them
I mean, I want to see Jos and Fin and their whole story beat brought back in general. I think they'd fit perfectly into a future event
Make them both a Legendary similar to the Perchta
sadly i think they've been relegated to "old lore"
imagine the serpent triology, but with Lynch instead of Chary, it might actually make some sense
I could see them coming back since they were some of the main, most ambitious older lore
Idk I think chary being separate from lynch makes sense
The point is the AHA kinda splintered after huff’s death
So both lynch and chary trying to take charge and further their own goals but ultimately failing is cool
I can see why Chary was brought in seeing as Lynch noped off to another realm. But, a return of Jos, Fin, and Lynch in a way would be neat.
Maybe Lynch regains some semblance of power and tries to make a comeback
Yeah
chary just comes out of nowhere tho, and is suddenly running things, but the mans a literal scooby doo villan
Idk, I’m fine w chary. He’s a little silly but I like it
Jos and Fin see what the Lunar Pact are doing, maybe Fin sees the connection with the snakes and either gang up or say, "ya'll going about this the wrong way"
“Wow finally a kid more fucked up than us”
I want to see Allison as a legendary since her leg is cool
Oh my god, I forgot about her leg, that would be a really cool character model!
Yeah!!!
The times Chary comes off as Scooby Doo villain are in the chapters written by Simon Moore and I'm so certain the writers were intentionally going for the style of a dime novel.
even as a dime novel it was not good
plus why is this dime novel guy being allowed to give away a whole secret society
Collins at least changed the names of those involved
I mean like it’s the same society that hires the biggest weirdos in the world
Plus the point is bc it shattered apart, people like him were able to come in and gain influence
-And i'd get infinite power if it wasn't for this meddling kids; says Mr.chary
Shot pans out to reveal hail mary, witch hunter, hardin, and redshirt, all cosplaying mystery inc, with kevin as scooby doo himself
the caldwell family line needs to calm down
also this needs to be canon
hm the death of frank gravel is differently done in the trailer than in the description of the reptilian, prolly simplicity sake
Also they use one of the tier one hunters for it
But that’s understandable because it’s better to reuse models than make them on a whim
yup, i dont think frank gravel atleast how he is descriped as a ruthless gator hunter is a tier one hunter lmao
- who does really read the long story of dlc description tbh

Mr chary as new roaming boss
where can you find the long form ones for bloodbond hunters? Steam has them for DLC ones
unfortunately there's not long form lore for a lot of the DLC hunters, but there's lore for some of them in the book of weapons
I see
I would not be against this
For some reason Chary makes me think of that guy with the suit from Dont Starve
When someone ask’s the sculptor how many bosses he made so far
That's a good take on Chary. My brain won't stop latching onto the image of Hawkshaw Jack
out of all the legendary hunters, what 3 of them canonically squad up?
Kevin, Mary and Circe
I feel like the kill buyer and pennant would squad up
Kill buyer strikes me as someone who gets shot on sight
Weird Sister and Bone Doctor work together
Plus felis
Is there a third that would go with Night Seer and the Acolyte?
The prescient before she left
I'm thinking who would after the events of the Moon trilogy
And in terms of pairs, the dlc for Zhong Kui and Dead Blessing state they work together
Anyone in the infernal pact I guess
There are other night cultists but we don’t have them released
I'd say it's a safe bet the Perchta is also with them given the story released about her and Luna
Thank you
it was a 50/50 chance that perchta would either help them or kill them
Yeah, was never clarified if she did or not
and she'll prolly go the way of the viper and never show again
Who or what is the Sculptor and why are they turning the Bayou into a hellscape?
its basically Cthulhu but stupid, but it wants to shape the bayou into something it can inhabit
Are the Louisiana incident entries still canon? Can't find the books anywhere in game or in the book of weapons or monsters?
The book was removed, it’s still on the wiki, it’s probably not really canon anymore, or if it is it’s just a canon until contradicted thing
Thanks, couldn't find it anywhere (other than the wiki) and wanted to know if there were still relevant at all to the lore
@noble scarab The prescient left? Was this in Devil's Moon story?
She left before the whole moon thing evidently.
It’s in her bio
The full one from the steam page
Is there a place where the Hunt lore is written down in Chronological order? I’d love to read it
Nope. You gotta piece it together from multiple sources.
Might be cool if there was a book in-game with the lore, and character bios. Could even eventually have a storyteller for import parts and to catch new players up on the changing world
definitely something that catalogs the story bits from the events like the audio logs from the devils moon
I think the Night Speaker in the Revenant’s backstory was mentioned to be one too?
That being said, they don’t have a model
New @upbeat kiln video when? I need some more hunt lore to binge!
Right now 😄
The hunters of Louisiana didn't always hunt in groups of three. At one point, an unknown force beyond divine and hellish, prevented the members of the secret organizations to roam the hunting grounds in more than pairs of two.
But how and why? We will dive into that in this episode.

Let’s fuggin go
Great voice acting, and video all around! I could definitely see that as a mysterious character that gives quests to Hunters in-game
Why thank you! No acting though, that's my voice 🤣
It's great!
You'd be very successful as an actor with that voice👍
I'd cast you
Aw, thank you so much ❤️
As a matter of fact, I'm going to send you a PM. I know someone that's working on a paranormal documentary and they need some voice-over work done. I'm not sure if you're what they're looking for, but I'll pass along your info
You might wanna take it easy on the smoking, you fallout ghoul sounding you 😆
I don't smoke, actually! It's from surgery when I was a kid :))
Then you should at least pretend that you do, people would think that you're cool
Cool either way👍
They haven't done it in five years that the game is out
I doubt they will ever elaborate on the lore
You never know. The game is bigger than ever
I’m aware
I'm disappointed talk of the tv series fell off the face of the planet
3rd party graphic novels wpuld be great.
They talked about it not too long ago on Rachta's stream. It's not cancelled (yet), just don't expect it anytime soon
I figured it's in development hell since the platform it's supposed to be streamed on... still hasn't released? idk what's going on with Binge at this point
I wish I had elon musk money. Id make a hunt tv show, movies and a full on unique mmo that would be just like the first game except much bigger and fleshed out. Dreams
Horror western is such an untapped genre
@static wind @edgy aspen
While not a direct sequel or directly related to Hunt: Showdown, there is a graphic novel currently in the works called Red Hunt. It's similar in style and theme - though not endorsed by Crytek. It's created by the Night Library. It's currently on Kickstarter :))
Dam, I missed it.
Lots of good creepy shows out there - the Alienist is pretty good in 1896 (Gilded Age), and Taboo is great, (even though it’s 1812?) lots of “inspiration” was drawn from it 🙂
Blood Meridian is a great read too
@high stone just wish we had more horror western games. My favorites are silverload, red dead undead nightmare and hunt
if you like ttrpgs, there is Deadlands which is pretty much 1-1 hunt
I have that setting on my shelf. I gotta get around to reading it.
Was the spider once human?
It was a mass grave
@noble scarab shadows of brimstone as well
Keep your eyes peeled and your weapons ready, for you never know what lurks beneath the surface.

There is no convincing me an alligator or aquatic boss isn’t coming
Wild Boar?
Boars are pretty tough. I'd almost take fighting a waterbison over one
Oh sorry, I meant a 🐃
If Hunt were set closer to 1910 we could have potentially had some corrupted hippo monster in the game. That would have been a cool roaming boss.
don't think water buffalos exists on the swamp
Water Buffalo and Bison don't usually frequent marshes, swamps or wetlands
For example you definitely will not find a Buffalo in the wilds of the Florida everglades
Or in the US at all for that matter
Or a snake
Darn
Giant snakes were in the lore pre-moon events
There’s been some amazing community concept art for gator/water devil hybrids, which is what I’d like to see
This is what I'm hoping for 😄
Whaaaat! That's so beautiful!
heck no
I think what would be cool is if the reptilian got turned into the gator boss
I doubt that will happen, but it would be sick lol
Since everything leading up to the reveal is kinda centering around him, that’s what made me think of it
I think I read somewhere that the Skinned was Hunting the Reptilian for killing his brother, but they are becoming allies to team up and hunt the Gator
I doubt that's what this roaming bounty will be given the questlines and tracks you see around the gator traps, but dang it would be awesome if it's added as a second one later on
Water with more water devils would be a good indication of where it's at, just like the increase in crows at a Scrapbeak compound
If we start getting giant reptiles as bosses we need a Wamasu!
No kaiju's
Really surprised they haven't added the rougarou
Thats a big legend down here
What is a kaju
And isn’t a rugaru like the vengeful werewolf from Haitian Slaves
It’s called voynich, however it’s unique to hunt
Does anyone here have the bio for Kill Buy?
The recruit bio?
Yes, sir!
'Kenneth Jupe's love for horses turned into a morbid obsession ashe dissected his beloved Butterscotch in fascination. When there was nothing left of her, and no money for another, Jupe ran to the bayou were he could dismember to his heart's desire.'
May be a typo in there woop
Thank you! ❤️
np!
That would seriously be sick 😄
This would definitely fall in line with the pregnancy/childbirth horror trope we see with other monsters in the game
I think this new miniboss/boss is the treasure that the reptilian, his ward and the skinned found
Oh, the Special ammo boxes say "AHA" on them.
The uwu boxes
huh?
They're uwu boxes. No one can convince me otherwise.
It's just the fancy font the AHA uses on their ammo caches
Anime hasn't been invented yet the world is still pure
Does anyone have the bio of Steel Eyed? :))
Thank you ❤️
How do the bosses reincarnate for hunters to hunt again
The sculptor brings them back
All bosses are created by the sculptor
Well
The versions we fight are
The originals were created by other means
And then the sculptor saw them and says hey that’s dope and brought them to the bayou
and every time they die he just resurrects them
So like pennywise

No, not like pennywise
Like every other special monster, it starts with a simple grunt molding into it
It's more like necromancy
Or a form of it
I'm pretty sure the monsters the Sculptor works on have to be deceased before he can work on them
The bounty is banished out of our world so you aren’t collecting a part of it when you pick up the token
So you show up to collect your bounty just packed with an uncanny amount of static electricity?
"Touch this door knob on this glass bottle and then you can see Beatrice about your money."
Yall might try to collect bounties, but I control the field.
lol
Or enjoy it's spoils. I enjoy both.
Is there any good videos on the lore of hunt?
So i want to do contraband only. Is there a legendary hunter that has lore that has to do with contraband or using other peoples weapons?
I can think of three:
- the Prodigal Daughter’s “Harbinger” pistol was stated to be taken off a dead body
- The Fugitive stole the “Felon’s Six” off a guard to make her escape
- Sheriff Hardin may enjoy his “Brass Flower” pistol, but his interview suggests that he’s just as fine with using anything he can get his hands on.
@spark hill Hazmat here has a few fabulous videos on YouTube. There are a few other good YT vids on lore.
Also, check the pinned messgaes of this thread.
A fourth contraband hunter has come to mind: Carcass Gunrunner
Yes, he does now have a personal weapon, but seeing as his job is to smuggle weapon, he could just as easily make personal use of his wares when needed.
Takes shotgun off a dead hunter he'd sold it to a week prior
Gunrunner: Can't let perfectly good wares go to waste
@warm quartz Monroe is also a contender having stolen "Lock and Key" from a prison warden
Did anyone notice our beloved sweet fish hatfish is wear a gator skull and is back on his boat.
I mean it seems like it’s a good thing the hatfish is avoiding water for the foreseeable future
Agreed and he's wearing a gator skull
can someone remind me again, what was the deal with Timothy Stone (Skinflint), his book and the names of hunters?
Basically, he sells the indenties of dead hunters
Not sure how it works, probably just their documents
Thank you @mellow mantle 😄 ❤️
Bro is 🔛🔝
Btw how many confirmed branches of the Hunter Association has there been?
New York and Louisiana are the only two I believe?
Hatfish is here now if you were wondering
There is one I thought in China? Or is that just a separate entity all together...
The only thing I can recall is Zhong Kui's lore saying he's the descendant of a long line of demon hunters, but no mention of the AHA
Or would it be CHA?
Oh there is talk of the Sculptor influencing the monster Nian that's related to North Star and the Sovereign's backstory. They successfully killed it and were recruited by Huff to take care of the Sculptor's corruption in Louisiana. But again, the details are vague about whether China had a structured system like the AHA
As far as I understand, HA is all over the world
AHA is just what it is, an american branch
Though there are a lot of independent hunters
Important hat information thank you Basil hat man
I know i've read that the Hunter Association is global, and like Loreman said, the AHA is the american branch. We've had multiple Sculptors over the years, but there is of course no mention (that I know of) on how the prior ones have been dealt with. I figure most of the new foreign hunters we are getting are a result of either Kevin's letters, or Finch recruiting from other branches, unless we start rewinding time some
Considering how the AHA ist plagued by internal power struggles i have my doubts that other branches are really that cooperative. I think of the HA more as a network for Outerworldly Wetwork. I also have a feeling that the Bayou offers some kind of mythical attraction to the strangest of hunters. If the HA was more cooperative there would be much better comparisons between different incidents of this kind.
But the associations seem to keep to themselves and only share ressources and intel if it benefits them
AHA should just be renamed to the United States federal government
They're basically the same thing
I doubt there’s any far reaching cooperation between hunters, besides the AHA, and even that is tenuous at best. The American branches actively fuck each other over. The hunters from china and japan seem to act more or less independently in response to threats, or the Nian. The Arabic Sinners seem to be a decently composed group, but we know little about them

Rip to the NY branch
True. I feel the biggest draw is the bounty, they come to work. Not really in it for American bullshit, just here to get paid. Until Kev called out the recent gals, seemed like most the hunters we got from across the globe weren't really giving a shit about the events/Chary/the moon and those that were involved were mostly american or given a reason to be involved (looking at you fau pertch and viper).
FUCK THE AHA LMAO
Imagine sending young and old men and women alike who possess an extensive set of natural skill and are proficient killers in the face of danger and field of battle to their deaths in a new frontier against an enemy they know almost nothing about except for the fact that they are indeed an "enemy."
Sounds familiar right?!
No, it was just the southern branch, based in Louisiana, the northern one based in NY, and an unmentioned western branch
There may be smaller enclaves in each state that funnel hunters towards the larger branches
🗿
Evidently since the American Aligator population was driven out of the Louisana Bayou because of the ever so rising Water Devil population, Florida is likely where the majority of Louisana's Aligators fled to.
All seriousness though I kinda was thinking along those lines the first time read the water devil pages
Oh, how he sings
Raggy music to the cattle as he swings
Back and forward in the saddle on a horse (on a hoarse)
That is syncopated gated
By the funny meter
To the roar of his repeater
How he runs
When they hear the fella's gun
Because the western folks all know
He's a highfaluting, rootin', tootin'
Son of a gun from Arizona
He's some cowboy
Talk about your cowboy
Ragtime cowboy Joe
Look out, Sheriff! They're gettin' away!
Alvin, stop shooting that gun
Reach for the sky, you sidewinders!
Alvin, will you put that gun down!
Don't worry lady! I'll go get 'em!
Alvin!
Will you please put that thing down and get back here and sing!?
Oh, how he sings

Because everything that didn’t leave got killed so wouldn’t surprise me if things survived at the very least on the edge of the corrupted zone
