#

Exactly, limited editors with suggestions being added if they have lore basis.

noble vine
#

k i think that would fix the dirtwar from the chat above XD

forest condor
#

Also, once the main doc is done a color coding system will probably be implemented in some extent

#

Weather it's to display the factual-ness of the lore piece or to show what's newer than a month old

noble vine
#

So the book will be a summary which makes it easier to get all the information about the lore. I like this idea! and it fits with @slim hatchs stance, because its not fiction, but things we already know for sure and its useful at that point, that we have now an easier way to inform, especially for new people. ( @slim hatch correct me when i got you wrong)

slim hatch
#

No on that I agree

noble vine
#

πŸ‘Œ

slim hatch
#

I’d not call it book tho I’d still split it into docs based on topic

#

Because as a book it’s gonna be a very long time before it had the informational content that warrant term book

#

But thats kinda personal opinion.

forest condor
#

I'm not planning on writing headcannon

noble vine
#

whatever its called

forest condor
#

I'm not planning on writing fan-fiction

noble vine
#

we got that. Dont worry

#

i think it was all a missunderstanding

forest condor
#

I want to get the docs to encompass what we know and some possible theories (which are marked as theories) on how they fit in

noble vine
#

so we all agree with that i think. diplomacy++

slim hatch
#

Just for clarity sake

slim hatch
#
  1. Split into docs by topic
  2. Combine all into chapters once we have enough information for it to warrant term chapter
  3. Open access like done in hardcore
#

Sorry for delay got distracted by needles XD

forest condor
#
  1. Split into sections in the same doc
  2. No open access
#

Same doc allows better consolidation

#

Less confusion for new people if the just have to scroll to see correlation

forest condor
#

Also it's not just me with access to the doc, @sinful trout and @late tinsel have access as well and are helping me with accuracy and voodoo respectfully

#

Fox is also helping with accuracy but he's the voodoo guy too

burnt storm
#

@slim hatch Just let them do it the way they want to, come on, what's the point of arguing if they are putting the work in πŸ‘€

forest condor
#

Something something inaccuracies and presidents daughter, wheve been over this and I'm not budging on the open source thing

slim hatch
#

@burnt storm Agreed fuck it. Let them do their thing.

atomic crow
#

Hey

#

What about Tarot Cards ?

sinful trout
#

@atomic crow you mean the true deck?

atomic crow
#

I remember seeing something like that in Hunt: Showdown's RoadMap. What do you think it might be?

#

Since Tarot Cards is related to Voodoo I believe.

languid bough
#

What we know is that a deck of tarot named True deck exist. And this deck hold some power. It also seem that the deck contain more than the usual tarot cards.
What we don't know is are there only one deck or many? What power are inside the cards?

urban burrow
#

Some have guessed that maybe the true deck are the traits we get....I personally think thats a lazy way of doing it but have not ruled it out of the realm of possibility

late tinsel
#

betting good money on Laveau having part of a True Deck

urban burrow
#

I just hope its not traits, just such a lazy way of doing it and makes no real damn sense.

late tinsel
#

Ye. I’ll consult the cards tonight with my diviner specialist and let you know what I find out.

urban burrow
#

lol

atomic crow
#

πŸ‘€

urban burrow
#

My reasoning is that Traits are all things that are learned from experience. The true deck has 0 power if its traits because its just damn learned things

late tinsel
#

True Deck strikes me more as revelation than evolution.

urban burrow
#

I think it would be cool if the true deck was conditions and or modifiers.

#

Could easily link that with lore

late tinsel
#

To some degree, yeah. We know it shows possible fates, but those can be altered.

forest condor
#

There is a reference to trait cards in the same place the true deck is referenced on the hunters desk

#

I hope the traits fit into the true deck but it's more than just that

forest condor
#

I hope the traits tie into the true deck, but not that they are the entire deck

sinful trout
#

Oh well

forest condor
#

I think the traits could still tie into the true deck, ones like bulletgrubber and bolt thrower.are just enhanced reflexes and dexterity(let's be honest nobody can operate a crossbow like that) blodless and mithradist could be modifiers to a body, along with hornback and bulwark

#

I'm still convinced that conduit allows either patching oneself into a forming wellspring or into the wellspring dimension through the clues

#

Fanning falls into Dexterity

#

Bold seeer is probably an enhancement to the eyes

#

Bolt not bold

amber harbor
#

Most can be learned tho

#

like fanning or the crossbow trait

#

others could be gameplay related like boltseer

#

Btw do we know that the guy who saw the tower and was scared was using the true deck?

forest condor
#

We know that

#

And learning something like fanning or bolt thrower is hard to do consistantly, having some magic imbued with s hunter isn't that far fetched

#

Especially when the hunter by default can barely pull back the crossbow and he doesn't seem to beef up with training

noble vine
#

i think the traits have nothing undiscovered. Its the classic "your hunter gets experienced and learns new things" system. The tarot cards could be a human made thing to interact with the entities maybe?

forest condor
#

Look at the desk, there's a trait card next to a card from the true deck, they're formatted the same way

#

And don't hit me with the idea that traits don't hid things

noble vine
#

maybe the pictures of the true deck were just used for the traits?

forest condor
#

Conduit holds a direct correlation with the wellspring

#

And that would be a massive oversight on the lore team

#

It directly shows resilance

#

Resilience

#

And I'm kinda tired of how you take everything we've been saying, even if it's completely factually based, and saying well maybe this or maybe that, unless there's something you have that directly contradicts what we're saying please stop with that

noble vine
#

i wasnt aware that it doesnt fit within the facts. Sorry when i annoyed you in some way

forest condor
#

I love that you're getting into the lore don't get me wrong, you just need to trust us when we say something is factual, if it's not I'm open for discussion just don't throw a curveball like maybe they reused assets

#

Cause that's not the best excuse

#

And that kind of stuff needs to be confirmed by them before just blowing it off

noble vine
#

yah i understand that. I need way more time to get even close to your knowledge about the lore. I just thought that getting new perspectives even if they arent proved (yet) could lead to something.

forest condor
#

I get where you're coming from, but throwing out random theories to already set in stone events can get old, just don't do that every time

#

Now if you have theories on gameplay aspects we haven't considered yet feel free to have a go at it

noble vine
#

i could imagine that you already tried with that strategy XD. i will stop then. As i said, i am pretty new at the game itself

forest condor
#

I'm glad we're getting new guys in here, your enthusiasm is great, I'm sure you'll hit gold on one of your theories though

noble vine
#

who knows? but ur right. I need to research more.

forest condor
#

:) thanks for taking the criticism well, I'm sure you'll be great here

noble vine
#

sure. no bad thoughts ❀

#

Arpy, tell me if im rushing too hard or if i tell something already known, but are the hunters from quickplay maybe trapped in the other "hell" dimension having an opportunity to get out? because if thats the case, it would explain that the sacrifice for DS has nothing to do with being trapped on the other dimension (you can get tier 1 hunters from quickplay without pigment loss and everything)

#

i just read some QnA and it said that its possible to visit this other dimension.

forest condor
#

that was actually what we went to first when QP came out, we figured out that wellsprings occur throughout the world regularaly though

#

I have a few theories on that but i've been too lazy to throw them into the grinder

#

but we do know there's no dimension traversal

#

one theory is that this is the first wellspring, hence why nobody is prepared to the event that would literally save their life

noble vine
#

k just for clearness: maybe i ask questions about the lore, because its clearly impossible for me to get all the information needed (thats why i think a summary book would be great) is that okay?

#

so if i got something wrong or if i get to crazy with my theories please tell meπŸ˜ƒ

forest condor
#

oh feel free to ask questions, it's great to be able to answer them

noble vine
#

i can imagine XD

forest condor
#

the only issue I had was with the wild theorizing while discussing topics, other than that there were no issues

rotund ferry
#

are the hunters superior to the normal human beings?

#

well, they clearly are

#

but how much?

noble vine
#

AAAAARPY!!! this gentleman needs ur help XD

forest condor
#

they have been enhanced through rituals believed to be derived from voodoo

#

other than that they're normal humans

#

with abilities that could be considered supernatrual

noble vine
#

many of them come with the initiation to the AHA

forest condor
#

initation rituals conver things like darksight

noble vine
#

exactly. even tho there are other hunter organisations like the sinners. but maybe they are using the same rituals

forest condor
#

the sinners call it true sight iirc

#

@late tinsel what do the sinners call darksight?

late tinsel
#

Spirit Eye.

forest condor
#

there it is @noble vine

noble vine
#

thanks a lot

late tinsel
#

πŸ¦ŠπŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰

sinful trout
#

@forest condor @late tinsel i thought abdulaziz called it a spirit eye

#

Because if thats the case then we dont know what sinners call it, however it wouldn't be too off base for two middle eastern factions to call them the same thing

#

@forest condor im alive now child. You may rest

forest condor
#

hmmm,

#

thank

#

s

late tinsel
#

@sinful trout he makes no mention of Spirit Eye in the journal.

sinful trout
#

@noble vine dont get us wrong. Continue to make wild crazy speculation! Makes me incredibly happy seeing people do this and get really into the lore! But when something has been proven as fact it is fact. When we prove something. A writer approves it. So definitely speculate wildly.
I.e the fact that sculptors have one or more "aspects" : unproven.
The game is about one story being retold over and over again: proven
Becausw without people like you speculating wildly, we would never have any stones to throw or things for proof.

@late tinsel and oh. Where do we see them call it spirit eye?

forest condor
#

thanks for saying that more diplomatacly var

sinful trout
#

Np

late tinsel
#

I’m combing through the lore to find it. When we do, we need to mark where we did in the doc lol

forest condor
#

Definitely

sinful trout
#

Or a screenshot or quote

noble vine
#

@sinful trout I see your point. The issue was that i sometimes leave out information already proven. Its very hard to find all necessary aspects of the lore for new ones. I love to make crazy theories but as @forest condor said, it has to fit with the proven stuff. So if i leave something out, please tell me. I will also learn more about the lore this way

sinful trout
#

Gotcha!

#

Now

#

back to the presidents daughter

forest condor
#

presidents daughter was in fact a duck

noble vine
#

when the lousiana event is always the same story being told over and over again, why is there the recruiting system as a continuos thing? Is it just gameplay or has it something hidden?

#

another question: why do the grunts, the butcher and other creatures have attachments like steel constructions on their body? Is it also work of the sculptour?

slim hatch
#

In regards to Recruiting that's purely gameplay as much as we know

#

Metal like cages is probably early attempt to keep afflicted people safe as they got violent in hopes of maybe being able to cure them

#

None have embedded metal in them aside from maybe butcher

#

But with Butcher only metalic part he has is the hook the rest are ornaments

#

That he wears on himself

#

as much as i recall

#

And Butcher does show some degree of intelligence

#

As his head is just a dud.

#

@noble vine Hope it answers your question

#

Also his behaviour is that of primitive intelligence

#

I'd say he might be even smarter than maybe Immolator and defo smarter than spider

noble vine
#

i thought too, as he seems to build the lair and his ornaments himself.

slim hatch
#

Yep

noble vine
#

maybe hes aware that he is "injured" and tries to get out of his misery with religion or something like that. The wood ornament on his back could be a cross right?

#

i

#

um...

#

huh.

#

i got a little crazy with that theory

#

i guess

forest condor
#

The recruient thing is because the aha has existed for many years

noble vine
#

so it just mixes the recruitment system of the AHA and mixes it with the story. Makes sense. I am a little disappointed with the fact that it is the same story being told over and over

slim hatch
#

Well game is in early stage of development

#

You can't expect it to have everything unwrapped

noble vine
#

maybe there is still a liiiiiiittle hope that some things i dont like about the lore could turn out to be wrong or changed but maybe its just me wish-thinking

slim hatch
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

forest condor
#

Btw the healmet the grunts wear are witches braces which is a punishment for those practiceing voodoo

#

That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject tho, foxtrap is the guy to ask for anything furthur

sinful trout
#

@forest condor yeah its the witches bridle

sterile sonnet

someone posted this in screenshots

#

do we know about these ? first time im seeing them

that's interesting

TRANSCRIPT
-LOST-
(picture of hellhound)
--> Cane Corso
ITALIAN MASTIFF
Lots of folks hunt as a team, I dont. part in the reason is that i simply dont trust people, I cant
i dont need a Partner, never did. Tried it. didnt work out. Didnt last long

So i have Bunny. Bunnt is an Italian mastiff with huge ears. youd think that calling a dog Bunny would be insulting. but bunnys not offended. Me and Bunny, we have an agreement. Life is too short to take everything seriously. when things inevitably turn to shit its usually because too many people are too serious. i dont like serious people.
Bunny knows i dont really want to call him a Rabbit, its just my way of poking fun at him, in return. he occasionally wakes me up by biting my left ear
DONT EXPECT NO REWARD FOR BRINGING BACK WHAT IS MINE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

could the --- be people?

sinful trout
#

thought that

#

word doesnt look long enough

#

could be folks now that i look again

forest condor
#

seems southeren enough

sterile sonnet
#

@urban burrow you pinged the wrong guy but i just got it from the screenshots chanal πŸ˜„

forest condor
#

he pinged the right guy

#

you posted it and he was asking you where you found it

sterile sonnet
#

oh i see

forest condor
#

and thanks for saying the screenshot chat

urban burrow
#

lol my bad thanks for still awnsering

sinful trout
#

no

#

he didnt @forest condor

urban burrow
#

There are more then one stewert i guess lol

sinful trout
#

but that does prove something

#

the dogs we see in game

#

are italian mastiffs

forest condor
#

wasn't he the one who posted it here?

#

also wait

#

wat

sinful trout
#

why the hell theres so many i have no clue

forest condor
#

cain corso

#

that's their "proper" name

#

i guess

sinful trout
#

same thing

forest condor
#

@rotund ferry where did you find that screenshot?

sinful trout
#

same thing different name

forest condor
#

yeah, I was just trying to contribute 😦

sinful trout
#

diving into the game to get a better look

forest condor
#

the ears on the hellhounds look fairly simaler

sinful trout
#

no i mean look at the picture for the cane corso

#

its LITTERALLY a hellhound

#

and dont scream used asset on me

forest condor
#

I won't

#

that's a lazy response

sinful trout
#

because they could have just drawn a picture of an italian mastiff in like 3 secs

forest condor
#

instead of drawing a unique picture of a hellhound

sinful trout
#

yeah

#

isnt it the same as the killed hellhound card?

#

ill check

forest condor
#

thanks

sinful trout
#

add tjhose to the doc @forest condor . pics and transcripts

forest condor
#

I will

#

and i'll wait for a response from scar

sinful trout
#

ill check out the area around arden anyway

#

but it would be nice for a specific location

urban burrow
#

Maybe thats just the dog that the scupltor found and he based the infliction that turns dogs into hellhounds off of that blueprint so to say

sinful trout
#

its possible

#

explains bunny going missing

forest condor
#

so Bunny is a dog that he had instead of a pardner? tips hat

sinful trout
#

yeah

urban burrow
#

Yeah it makes alot of sense for the rest as well. WHy all hives look alike and zeds and such because the infliction is based off of a blueprint so to speak

forest condor
#

maybe

sinful trout
#

doesnt explain the chain around all of their necks

forest condor
#

oh you mean simaler attributes

sinful trout
#

i get that is reused asset tho

forest condor
#

I thought you meant carbon copies

#

yeah that doesn make sense

urban burrow
#

Ya i mean similiar attributes not exact same carbon copies

#

They all relatively look and act the same

forest condor
#

same pattern stretched to fit many forms

urban burrow
#

Ya id say chain is just reused asset and gameplay only

forest condor
#

possably

#

I don;t want to write it off completely but... yeah

#

and the headshot mask

#

grrr

sinful trout
#

the curse acts in pretty much the same way as a disease

#

soreads slowly

#

and changes based on race

urban burrow
#

I think the mask was something that people did....They had a tendency to place their religion ontop of what was happening. So i think they were done after the infliction started to set it. maybe trying to heal them or keep them from hurting anyone while they practiced there voodoo rituals to save them

forest condor
#

added the stuff to the doc

#

discord is shit at formatting

sinful trout
#

yeup

languid bough
#

These are really interesting informations.

#

So if it's the first time we saw those paper, maybe we "forgot" some other pieces of lore

#

Because it hasn't been found yet

sinful trout
#

i think we just saw them o the wall and skipped over them instead of actually looking

sterile sonnet
#

theres plenty of those that iv never heard mentiond here

#

the world is full of secrets and lore bits , we gota explore

languid bough
#

We should pay more attention to it now.

amber harbor
#

Is there any particular reason that conduit trait has a tree - themed picture?

twilit torrent
#

trees are cool

#

also it could have to do with connecting with the clue and drawing power from it

amber harbor
#

Like it could be a subtle hint on hw clues wrk

forest condor
#

you're getting connected to the clues and drawing power from it

#

probably somethign to do with that

sinful trout
#

well before you would connect with the boss so it makes sense

#

MORE LORE PLEASE!

forest condor
#

@minor peak varrun already transcribed those and more

languid bough
#

@minor peak I saw you post pictures on lore adcore, you can find more picture and the one you post here

forest condor
#

And they're in the process of being transferred to the doc

random lava
#

But it wasn't posted in lore hardcore

forest condor
#

It wasn't, cause we're trying to get everyone to be able to do lore

#

And there's no reason for hardcore rn cause trolling is at an all time low

#

obligatory duck

#

Also cause it was a member of the community who posted it, not an hc member.

random lava
#

Oh yeah I forgot you take everything I say seriously

forest condor
#

Sorry, it's hard to get inflection in text

#

And I didn't notice the bold text

#

My bad

#

Fml

random lava
#

Lol I just copied what killer told me after I told him it was already posted

forest condor
#

Ah

#

Hrck

random lava
#

If he had taken a minute to look here he would have seen that it's been discussed and everything already

#

πŸ˜„

minor peak
#

I dont need a minute to check a lore channel that is filled by trolls that even mods are unable to do their job here.

#

Besides arpy and some others.

forest condor
#

There have been no trolls in forever and a day

minor peak
#

Besides, not all check lore channel hence why I posted on hardcore.

forest condor
#

So read the productive lore chat and get all the info

minor peak
#

I did read, don't tell me what to do.

forest condor
#

Cause we got info on what the hellhiunds are

minor peak
#

Well.

#

Hellhounds is a weird topic.

forest condor
#

And now we know animals aren't immune

languid bough
#

Yes, but the problem with hardcore is, even we can all see it, there are only a few chosen people who can post on it. I underatand why, it's to limit the trolls like you said, but if we want to help you, how do we do that?

minor peak
#

What if the dogs lost are the ones in the dog cage?

#

Cos Hellhounds are most likely coming from Hell, hence their name.

forest condor
#

It was one lost dog

#

Her name is Bunny

minor peak
#

Well, probably. It's only one poster.

forest condor
#

And she's an Italian mastiff

minor peak
#

But I dont think they are related to hellhounds though.

#

Oh.

forest condor
#

Running theory is that the sculpter used her as a template for future hellhounds cause the image used looks suspiciously like a hellhound

So the story team is veriffying the Hellhounds origins?

#

Ofc, if you look closely to the dog pic on the poster, they are exactly in Hellhound form instead of a normal dog.

forest condor
#

Italian mastiffs look like the dog in the image, they're pretty big

minor peak
#

I mean, the dog on that poster is exactly like a hellhound with the metal collar around it.

forest condor
#

Oh wait I see what you're saying

minor peak
#

And the visible wound flesh on its body.

#

Yes, yes.

forest condor
#

So having the hellhound image is their way of tying it in

minor peak
#

That makes it hard if the lost dogs became hellhounds or not.

forest condor
#

Running theory is that they are, it does lead to questions about the sound traps

minor peak
#

Hellhounds dont fit well.

#

I mean.

#

Hell-Hounds.

#

Dogs from the Hell.

#

Besides we got multiple dogs in dog cages as if they got entraped by the villagers because they were... strays?

forest condor
#

Hellhound's name has been used to describe regular dogs tho

minor peak
#

Dogs in cages are nicknamed as..

#

Trapped dogs if I am not wrong.

#

Last time I got killed by them that is.

forest condor
#

And with that logic the butcher should be an actual buttcher and spider should be an actual spider

#

Hellhound is just a name

minor peak
#

Spider and Butcher are clearly transformed.

languid bough
#

The hellhound is he name use by hunter, and it's logical because they think that the dogs come form the other world, named Hell here. And if it's "create" by the sculptor I don't see the problems with the name. The sculptor also come from hell

minor peak
#

It's a name that often indicates where they came from.

languid bough
#

Yes it's an indication, but the problems here is it's not an indication from the point of view of the dev, but more from the hunters, like the other parts of the lore

minor peak
#

And from what I checked this... pic

#

Second poster.

#

Something about antidote or vaccine, whatever.

#

Third poster.

#

Something about public meeting at town hall.

#

I assume the residents knew something was wrong? That there was some form of infection?

#

So that they tried to vaccine themselves only for it to fail?

#

Influenza

minor peak
#

So I guess they thought the infection was influenza.

#

When in fact it wasnt.

@random lava

#

If you could be more useful, could you pin some posts?

#

Posts by Var'uun Theory Thermit.

#

Transcripting the posters.

random lava
#

If you could ask me like a normal person and not insinuate I'm not useful then sure

languid bough
#

They may know something was off, since even in game you can find some newspaper talking about an infection, or the president telling it was nothing

minor peak
#

Could you do that.... please?

forest condor
#

Look in the doc

languid bough
#

So it should be normal for people to do a meeting.

forest condor
#

It's already in pinned posts and I've moved some of the transcriptions into there

#

And I don't think pinning the transcriptions to the channel is a good idea

minor peak
#

I was talking about the posters, not the doc. Or...

forest condor
#

Too much clutter

minor peak
#

Why not, it takes long to scroll. maqThump

forest condor
#

Not that long

minor peak
#

Respectfully. Long if we keep talking here. πŸ˜„

forest condor
#

Again, seconds

#

Takes longer to find important docs in a bunch of pinned clutter

#

Especially when new posters will be found and transcribed

minor peak
#

Maybe if we had a lore docs channel.

#

It would be great.

forest condor
#

We can't fill the entire thing with poster transcriptions

languid bough
#

That what Arpy is trying to do, a lore doc

minor peak
#

A mean, a lore channel.

#

Where all docs are at.

#

Or a steam guide?

languid bough
#

Hum, yeah it's a good idea, having a channel were there only are the important information

forest condor
#

We've been getting them into the doc and trying to get them in one place so they're easy to find, easy to find the doc then easy to navigate to them

minor peak
#

With the title of Lore where every lore part is placed.

forest condor
#

That's what we're doing though

minor peak
#

Steam guide?

forest condor
#

Gathering the lore pieces and placing them in one place

#

A single doc

minor peak
#

Doc looks messy.

forest condor
#

Less clutter that way

#

It's a beta doc rn

#

Gathering then cleaning

#

Also it's mostly in a specific pattern and fairly neat

#

Organization has taken a backseat but not that much of a backseat

#

Nika, I'd ask for the pins to be removed cause it causes too much clutter in the pinned posts, var and I are workng on adding them to the doc, it'll probably be done by the end of today,

#

That way people don't have to scroll through so many transcriptions to get to all the other documents in the pinned chat

minor peak
#

Eh, clean the docs.

#

Only one of the many posters are in doc for example.

#

And in messy form which puts me off from reading lol.

#

Maybe a steam guide lore thread would be great.

@forest condor let me know once you fix your doc.

#

I would rather read posts here than the doc that is in terrible mess.

forest condor
#

Dude, it's in a beta form, and it's not exactly impossible to read, I'll be cleaning it up but in the meantime it's not unreadable, and image references are gonna stay,

#

@random lava incredibly useful, you're a good mod

forest condor
#

I have to ask you @random lava , is there going to be a monster energy cosmetic coming out for hunters? Is your profile pic indicative of future cosmetics

random lava
#

it is not, and i can't answer that since i can't look into the future πŸ˜„

forest condor
#

Hmm, okay

#

Just stare into the true deck, something will stare back

sinful trout
#

@minor peak already transcribed all the posters

#

Just check the doc and quit being so picky

#

But i also noticed that the other posters werent added to the doc

#

@forest condor could you get on that after youre off school plz?

#

But yeah. Nobody really checks lore hardcore anymore, simply because its dead and all the members who actively search for stuff arent in it

forest condor
#

@sinful trout I'm eating then jumping on dat

sinful trout
#

Kk

minor peak
#

The doc is in terrible mess.

forest condor
#

How so?

#

I'd like some suggestions to make it cleaner

minor peak
#

Make a series of pics and a text under them explaining.

#

No need to make a lot pages with only 1-2 pics in them for example.

forest condor
#

having a pic then texts allows people to correlate text with an image

#

having a stream of images then a stream of text will confuse people

minor peak
#

Example.

#

Roots of darkness.

#

Text is on one page.

#

The pic of it is on other page.

forest condor
#

you understand how a doc works right

minor peak
#

Nope.

forest condor
#

it'll shift around as more text is added

minor peak
#

Is it intentional to be this shit mess?

#

If so, I will try make a steam guide thread soon.

#

About lore.

digital finch
#

You can always do a doc yourself

forest condor
#

once the basic stuff is done space will be added so it's on the same page

minor peak
#

Nah, I will do steam page if doc is intended to be in such mess lol.

forest condor
#

dude

minor peak
#

I am not alking about hunt doc.

forest condor
#

could you go a second without shitting on the work i've been doing?

minor peak
#

I am talking about Google Doc in general.

forest condor
#

you're being really toxic about this

minor peak
#

Well, it happens when you demand to remove clutter when in fact the doc provides confusing infos..

forest condor
#

again, once 1.0 comes out i'll get it organized on the same page, until then understand that text moves when you type in a document on any site

#

or any application

#

I feel like you're playing stupid just so you can crap on the work

minor peak
#

Like.. Where is Roots of Darkness if there is only text? Oh waaaait! The picture is on the other page!

#

Again, if thats intended by GOOGLE Doc.

#

Fine then.

forest condor
#

scroll down

#

if you can do it anyone can do it

#

again, it will change once everything is added

minor peak
#

Not a professional work but that might be because google doc are not that.. good I guess.

forest condor
#

I'm not going to check every bit when adding stuff to make sure it all matches up on the same page, that'll wait till final polishing

minor peak
#

Eh, sure.

forest condor
#

and dude, are you really shitting on google docs?

minor peak
#

They were always shit.. no?

forest condor
#

they're fucking sweet

#

saved my ass many times

minor peak
#

I see.

forest condor
#

auto save, compact format, ability to access and share them from anywhere

#

hence why every doc here is goodle docs

sinful trout
#

@minor peak if you have an issue with the doc youre welcome to make your own. @forest condor you both agree on the same thing its just getting lost in the mess.
Hes saying post the picture first. Then the text. Allows for easier interpretation. I can easily clean it if youd like

minor peak
#

Nah, doc are shit to work on, a steam guide thread would be great.

forest condor
#

he's saying that since the text and picture are on different pages it's shit, that's something that can and will be fixed during the polishing phases

#

it involves me pressing enter a few times but I don't want to do it every time something is added

sinful trout
#

sigh

languid bough
#

You actually don't need to press enter few times, ctrl + enter give you a page break to go to the next page. Same for all the doc editor.
And yeah The problems Arpy encounter is some casual problems from docs editor and not only Google. Google docs is pretty smooth and easier to use than Microsoft one or open office.
The Steam guide is a good thing, but since it's a web format and not a docs format, the presentation is different. Is doc is here to simulate a book, or some sort of things who can be print and be separate in page. I think if you do the same with the steam guide, it'll also be a mess.
Steam guide are like blogs, or forum post, you can format it with HTML (I think, never create one)

forest condor
#

alright, all has been added

#

also thank you for the formatting suggestion

severe relic
#

anyone else feel like the immolator is out of place in hunt?

forest condor
#

A bit

severe relic
#

its like they just added an npc for the sake of adding another npc

#

feel like there's enough annoying mobs in this game already

forest condor
#

oh wait I thought you meant the lore @severe relic

#

it's perfectly home in hunt

#

it just makes the lore akward as heck

severe relic
#

It feels like the immolator should have been a boss and not just a rando npc you can bump into

forest condor
#

he's easy to get rid of, also this is a place for lore, normally. this probably belongs in off-topic

amber harbor
#

Does the bug motif still make sense or was it debunked?

#

the immolator doesn't seem to have any bug related attributes and he doesn't have the same rotting aspect as grunts

slim hatch
#

I'd say yeah Immolator feels a bit out of place world wise / what we have seen so far.

#

But again we have only seen a fracture so while I think @severe relic @amber harbor Have a point

#

I think it's too early to say if it's more of a nuisance ham-fisted in or 1st of something new

amber harbor
#

maybe it's made by the other entities

sinful trout
#

@amber harbor thats possible. But remember the devs said the bug thing wasnt entirely true as well

forest condor
#

The bug thing being the idea that the sculpter has aspects to it

slim hatch
#

Yep which is not confirmed nor debunked. Heavy plausibility implications (Until Immolator) but no clear answer yet

#

The initial foundation of it is classical writing.

#

In writing everything has traits / trademarks as no character or being that is indistinguishable from any other is not worth writing

finite charm
#

For a swamp, Fire zoms or even fire at all, is not really a good fit. Why no alligators? Why no witch doctor.

sinful trout
#

immolator and butcher seem to be made by a different entity though. as they both rely heavily on fire.

#

both are immune to it as well

forest condor
#

That would be strange if the Nico/Winkler theroy holds water

#

Also @sinful trout remember when you asked me to check the reveal trailer to see where the butcher is? It was an early version of modanna

#

The windows are slightly different but the paino is in the same place

#

Also, if the butcher is made by a different entitiy then Meatheads are made by the same entity, and that wouldn't make sense seeing as Meatheads don't try to kill everything like the immolator does, also they're not immune to fire

#

The butcher is just a really big (and seemingly more intelligent) Meathead. His leeches are white and inside him

amber harbor
#

also the butcher seems to wield the fire.
the immolator is a force of fire

forest condor
#

Exactly

slim hatch
#

Butcher still respect the aspect of Decay

#

Loosely but so do Meatheads

forest condor
#

Aspects have already been said to be not completely accurate

#

But at the very least butcher is definitely made by the same entity as the rest (excluding immolater until we know more)

#

Although doesn't the immolater follow the decay aspect as well?

slim hatch
#

You could say so but... He looks more like someone who was burned more closer to a tortured soul (Ref:Doom) than an undead like grunts, hives etc.

#

And yes aspects aren't entirely accurate but one way or another rest of the cast sorta falls into it aside from spider

#

Since Spider isn't insect

#

And insects are 100% Reoccurring theme

#

So yeah some stuff doesn't seem to add up

forest condor
#

Meatheads, armored, grunts

#

Those don't have insects unless you count the Reed diary

#

But he might have been hallucinating

hollow scaffold
#

or if you have watched constantine it could be like that

forest condor
#

And above all he's probably the most unreliable narrator

hollow scaffold
#

a physical manifestation of a demons being or power

forest condor
#

We know they're afflicted people

#

Also they're not classical demons

slim hatch
#

@forest condor Armored has insect aspect

hollow scaffold
#

no but then again i wasnt saying they were i was just giving an example of how the insects might tie in

slim hatch
#

The armor of the armored is the same material hives are made of

#

You can see it all over for example healing water church

#

And Blanch

#

Grunts follow aspect of death and decay

#

Hive follows Death, Decay, Insects

forest condor
#

But they're not insects, having a chitinous armor doesn't make it the same as a hive

slim hatch
#

Armored follow Insects, Death (They look like a bloater if you look at their skin)

#

Hive isn't insect either

forest condor
#

Yes it is,

slim hatch
#

But she is a host

forest condor
#

But it follows the idea of it

slim hatch
#

It's far fetched to say Hive is an insect

#

If you've a parasitic worm in your skin does it make you a parasitic worm?

forest condor
#

I get what you're saying

#

The hive seems to be controlling the insects to some degree though

#

Seeing as killing her disperses the bugs

slim hatch
#

Armored have the chitin from insects, Hive is a host. common denominator being that both are in symbiosis with insects

#

While Hive controls and attacks with insects who also protect her.

#

Same moth like insects commonly referred seem to be making giant nests around Bayou

#

Evidence being environment

#

So if they are making huge hives and infesting hosts like hive.

#

Armored origin wise could fairly plausibly be a drowned corpse that insects tried to nest in.

forest condor
#

Chitin doesn't automatically equal insect though

slim hatch
#

Chitin comes from inscts

normal glade
#

maybe hive is controlled by an insect like a parasite that takes over the host

forest condor
#

Alright,

slim hatch
#

No other existing creature makes hives of that material

#

No mammal

#

Fish or bird

#

Only insects do

#

And it's 1:1

forest condor
#

The armoured seems to be specifically armored though. Protection on it's legs, arms, and hrad

slim hatch
#

Yeah and armored works like a guardian

#

The meatshield

#

So obviously if it was to be symbiotically co-existing with something

#

If the creature could beef it up it would

#

If you put a man at the front gate and expect to be attacked, would you not rather give them a weapon or armor so they can guard better?

forest condor
#

Oh yeah

#

#

Just read what was said today.
Immolator feel different from the other foes, but it doesn't bother me to much in the universe. Why? Because we don't know what sculptor(s) is (are). We don't know how "hell" work.
We do know that a sculptor is in play in the bayou, and it's most likely that the monster here are made by him. There all seem to be modify adding some sort of insects components. And we know that the spider is also a human with chitins parts. so could be the same. The only one I wonder is the water devil. Also like some people said, the immolator could be from another sculptor, or just another entity without name yet. In the QnA the devs said there are other entity in play

And big one too

Is J Hayward an actual character or was he used just to promote the game?

sinful trout
#

J hayward was the main charecter in horrors of guilded age. he has an article of lore written about him but devs have confirmed we arent getting anymore solely on the reason that j haywards mentioning in showdown was a nod at the austin team thanking them for their efforts, as guilded age was austins development and was scrapped and eventually given to the frankfurt team to revamp

hey are grunts undead or are they still alive

#

like do the people die then reanimate as a grunt

#

also where do the hellhounds come from, are they from the infection and did they die and reanimate because of the infection

minor peak
#

@slim hatch For you. ^^ πŸ˜„

slim hatch
#

About origin of Hellhounds can't say for sure but if we take into account the rules we can observe they are probably former guard-dogs.

#

In regards to Grunts while we know that one can recover from affliction if we take into consideration their physical state and deterioration those are beyond saving.

autumn shuttle
#

so now does the infection kill someone like a zombie infection?

#

like say TWD for instance

#

this has honestly made me curious for a time

#

cuz i mean the grunts are all pretty fucked up

#

but then some aren't

minor peak
#

If I am not wrong, people got infected and then mutated into monsters, some of them in different forms (armored, immolator). Whoever didnt die by infection were soon massacred by the rampaging monsters.

Now, if they got killed when they got mutated.. /shrug

autumn shuttle
#

im thinking

#

i remember reading something

slim hatch
#

Please remember

#

This isn't a virus

#

Or infection

autumn shuttle
#

in the Hunt website that were journals of a doctor and if im not wrong he was turning into a grunt while he was writing

slim hatch
#

It's affliction

#

And of supernatural nature.

autumn shuttle
#

or succumbing to the virus

#

but im unsure

minor peak
#

No virus.

#

Affliction and supernatural nature.

#

Aka The Sculptor.

slim hatch
#

^

autumn shuttle
#

sorry i read it wrong of what you said

#

so was that guy in the journals turning then?

#

i call it turning cuz idk what else to cal it

slim hatch
#

He was clearly affected by sculptor's influence but we have no idea what he turned into

#

Initially we thought he was the spider but we got that one debunked by writers.

autumn shuttle
#

so do we know how it chooses who to afflict?

minor peak
#

One thing is sure, they are dead. Not alive. Whatever. :c

slim hatch
#

No

autumn shuttle
#

so as far as we know it's random

slim hatch
#

Read pinned posts more than enough information there

autumn shuttle
#

when i find time ill have to look through them all

#

the lore in this game has always been wicked cool to me but i haven't had team to read any of it

#

time*

slim hatch
#

I suggest reading through QnA's , Character lists

autumn shuttle
#

thank you for your answers btw ^-^

slim hatch
#

That's where majority of info comes from

#

The newer entries I'd say need more work

#

But transcripts in them

#

Are very nice when it comes to world building

autumn shuttle
#

whoever did the writing did a good job imo

slim hatch
#

There is a team

#

But I suspect the direction of lore is going to change.

#

But that's information I think I should not talk about publicly unless I want to get my ass banned

autumn shuttle
#

oof

#

also i had to ask stuff here but now i see it was in the hardcore discussion, i just can't talk there lol

main quail
#

πŸ˜„

slim hatch
#

Well hardcore will be gone if experiment fails....

#

In regards to access in the past we would nominate people but now it's basically ask for entry if you want... We had a little bit of an 'inner conflict' among our ranks.

autumn shuttle
#

im sorry to hear that

#

i mostly just lurk chats im interested in anyways πŸ‘€

slim hatch
#

Meh w/e we served our purpose until now.

autumn shuttle
#

thanks again for the answers ^-^

slim hatch
#

No worries.

#

Feel free to ask, if we have an answer will answer if not then we will just say "Not enough information"

#

You can basically use @ Lore hardcore tag to see if anyone is available instead of checking who is there

weak elbow
#

Were there any updates regarding the tier 3 hunter appearances? The tattoos and the rings they all seem to have

stiff vector
#

They were there before

languid bough
#

They all have burns and scars. And they probably come from the usage of the dark sight

forest condor
#

@autumn shuttle our best lead on hellhound's is that theyre based off Italian mastiffs

#

@weak elbow lots of the physical damage comes from combat, the marks from dark sight are most notably seen in the black teir threes with the patches of discolored skin

autumn shuttle
#

yea i know

sinful trout
#

@autumn shuttle i would reccomend checking out the entry in the beastiary about hellhounds. It helps to understand what they are and adds a perspective on how they COULD have come to be

autumn shuttle
#

no i wasn't the one curious about the hellhounds someone was trynna say they were wolves and then we were telling them it's italian mastiffs and then it got into a conversation about dead and undead lol

sinful trout
#

hahaha okay. just wanted to throw it out there

#

BOOK OF MONSTERS IS FINALLY COMING PEOPLE!

noble vine
#

g-g-guys there is a new BOSS announced!!

amber harbor
#

Is the new boss Reed himself?

forest condor
#

@full fog and @noble vine wait what

noble vine
#

check the announcements

full fog
noble vine
#

poor arpy. Im sure he will have to spend some nights on fitting it into the lore XD

languid bough
#

The book of monsters is a good news. Some new stuff to chew

forest condor
#

This is gonna be good

noble vine
#

mr. arpy take it awayπŸ˜‚

forest condor
#

I feel like you're mocking me...:(

sinful trout
#

ah. finally

#

the summoner arrives

twilit torrent
#

so is the book of monsters like the necrnomicon or something different

forest condor
#

the book of monsters will basically override everything that Var wrote in the beastiary :P.

#

it's a book deatiling some lore about the monsters in the game

noble vine
#

didnt mean to mock you if you were serious with that 😦

minor peak
#

Reed is not boss of anything.

forest condor
#

Ahh Felix, it's cool, I hate that I can't tell tone over text most of the time. Makes telling jokes annoying. Youre good.

#

And Greece. The Reed thing was a joke, that one was obvious

sinful trout
#

Yeah when book of monsters come out ill update everything in the beastiary so we have an offline version. Each monster will basically have its own page XD

sinful trout
#

Or as our lord and saviour korean says
"Roche is butcher confirmed"

noble vine
#

aaarg i cant wait!!

slim hatch
#

And it was confirmed that Roche isn't Butcher

forest condor
#

Still holding out for the Winkler Nico theory

forest condor
#

Some of the facts match up

forest condor
#

Butcher is first seen at modanna in the reveal trailer. And the trading card has modanna in the image

#

@slim hatch where was it confirmed that? I'd like to be able to quote it for somebody

slim hatch
#

@forest condor Well first hunt trailer implies butcher is at Madonna and someone did mention that it seems to be there don’t quote me on that tho.

silver fox
#

@forest condor is roche not butcher I assumed he was?

forest condor
#

He's not

#

I've said this lobster. Thanks @slim hatch for the help

slim hatch
#

@silver fox Roche was debunked in QnA

#

While all text essentially screams it’s him QnA answer was clear NO

forest condor
#

It specifically says that the butcher is in lore but the whole answer is complicated IIRC.

#

Which rules out him because he has a whole text on him and having him as the butcher wouldn't be complicated at all

autumn shuttle
#

IIRC?

forest condor
#

If I recall correctly

autumn shuttle
#

ah

forest condor
#

Lol

late tinsel
#

You remember correctly, ye.

forest condor
#

Deus ye vault et

late tinsel
#

Vitam Impendere Vero, Hunter. I’m excited to finally get my hands on some monster lore.

forest condor
#

Hell yeah

rotund ferry
#

So what do you guys think the new boss is?

regal schooner
#

I mean, we wont know for shure, but the game has 3 types of dammage, bleeding poison and fire, so my guess is that the boss will have something to do with bleeding

#

its all a theory but a superpower armor with concertena wire around his body

slate harbor
#

an angry little woman with a pair of rusty scissors

loud dock
#

yes

#

Momma Hive

late tinsel
#

Boss 3 is REEEEED

chilly dome
#

Boss 3 is a Deus vault !!!

rotund ferry
#

boss 3 is just a lake with 17 water devils and the bounty is in the center of the lake

languid bough
#

And you can't kill the water devils

rotund ferry
#

actually the next boss is yourself dealing with the ptsd of killing all those hunters

#

the more hunters you killed before the harder it is to cope with the idea

#

the next boss is 100 concertinas thrown into a single area and you gotta clear it out

#

those are my ideas atleast

forest condor
#

the next boss is the PTSD from killing the hunters and traveling through hell and back, literally. you're your worst enemy

twilit torrent
#

the next boss is a compound filled with 25-35 immolators

#

and throw in a couple of meatheads

autumn shuttle
#

whats up with the dolls and ducks scattered around the map

#

they're kinda freaky

forest condor
#

probably voodoo items

#

and we don't talk about the ducks

autumn shuttle
#

why not

#

was pretty cool, i noticed a hex bag on my partner today

forest condor
#

yeah, we havn't fully delved into the implications of hunter gear but have noted the bones some hunters wear

#

and because the ducks are an old meme that we'd be best not to bring up

autumn shuttle
#

i think some of the details are super cool if i actually look at them

forest condor
#

oh hell yeah

autumn shuttle
#

although i still find it strange when things spawn in the outhouses

oblique cipher
#

The hunters' area of operations has the literal hell seeping into it so a bunch of creepy items scattered out of place only seems fitting.

#

All the symbolism is what got me interested in the game in the first place. It feels like something completely ordinary in the game itself, which I am particularly fond of. The extraordinary being ordinary. Still waiting for the tarot as a gameplay/progression expansion.

rotund ferry
#

next boss is a room full of hive wasps

#

just sitting their

noble vine
#

wrong. he got leaked

#

its a giant roblox character

oblique cipher
#

please let them be a spooky skeleton

#

for a voodoo-themed game there's a shortage of bones in the bayou

forest condor
#

The hunters carry bones for rituals on their person, normally teor two or three

noble vine
#

leaked footage

#

ok enough memes πŸ˜‚ sorry all

oblique cipher
#

ohno that's unedited footage of me

random storm
#

<@&357256267087085568> I'm like 80% sure he ain't aloud to do that^^^

sacred sable
#

Please keep this channel Lore related

forest condor
#

@random storm during a drought of lore a major contributer posting a meme of a possible boss isnt a good excuse to contact a moderater thanks for helping get rid of ad boye

languid bough
#

@forest condor I think Fluffy was talking about the guys who post an advertising message. Which was deleted.

forest condor
#

The foxtrap vid was deleted so idk @languid bough

#

And I checked for the advertising guy in this chat and he didn't post here but I could be wrong

languid bough
#

Oh ok. And I saw the message from the ad guy, and I remember it was here. But I could be wrong too since the message is not here anymore and wasn't here in the first place x)

late tinsel
#

Hm? Did I post a video?

forest condor
#

@languid bough you're probably right, sorry @random storm

sinful trout
#

@random storm settle the debate! Were you referring to an ad?!?

oblique cipher
#

What a narc

#

This hunter is going to live long.

#

The Book of Monsters is exactly something I was waiting for.

random storm
#

Yes

#

He deleted it. It was a 2late4sleep link I've seen alot of

forest condor
#

Oh alright, my bad for jumping to conclusions, that WAS mod worthy, thank you

random storm
#

Its is understandable I am new so

amber harbor
#

What does 'Monstrorvm' mean?

forest condor
#

Idk

noble vine
#

sorry guys but what is a 2late4sleep link?

#

i hope it wasnt an issue that i posted a meme on this channel...

forest condor
#

@noble vine he was advertising a game marketplace

noble vine
#

ooh okay. Well thats actually not cool

forest condor
#

True dat

stiff vector
#

@amber harbor Monstrorum in latin means Monsters in english

#

(It's an u and not a v because of Latins letters)

amber harbor
#

That makes sense

sinful trout
#

@amber harbor yeah man starts sweating thats rookie knowledge uncomfortable chuckle everyone knows that right?

#

Right?

amber harbor
#

yea

#

right

#

knees are weak

sinful trout
#

sweater spaghetti

rotund ferry
#

moms vomit

forest condor
#

Wait wat

amber harbor
#

Looks like ubisoft is the new boss

languid bough
#

It look like a male version of the hive.

#

But it also doesn't look like human, just a shape since it take form when bugs form a group of....

#

.... horrible things

full fog
#

more like Bethesda is the new boss

#

get it

#

since their games are buggy as shit

amber harbor
#

I'm wondering if you need to damage a hive-like growth instead of the bug-person to kill the boss

noble vine
#

if so, the growth should be a moving target

languid bough
#

I think it will be more like the thing possess a core than can be damage, and the core will be available when the monster is in human form. Hoterwise he will move in bug mode and be very hard/impossible to damage

#

Like a teleporting abality using the bugs

amber harbor
#

In case you weren't scared by the spider, the new boss is a house infestation

rotund ferry
#

can of raid is the new weapon

slim hatch
#

^

#

XD

sinful trout
#

Hey look! Thats my basement!

#

Seriosuly though this might be made from the same sculptor that made the spider

languid bough
#

It's possible. We will see using the new book of monster

sinful trout
#

Yeah. I just really dont like how lore seems to have changed direction. Old bosses were like fleshy monster things... This is magicky bugs

#

There was a reason to things with old bosses

#

Now its just like "its magic dont worry about it"

languid bough
#

The immolator is still a litle fleshy. Yeah fire is a bit hod, but not more than oil sweat like butcher. The question I have about this new boss is how do he control the bugs? Is it a hive mind ability like hive and meathead? If so were is the Core controlling it? And why does it seem a bit more precise than the hive? Like the bug can take human shape, a crolling in saperate direction

#

Maybe i'm too new and see the difference between the old and new lore

forest condor
#

Probably hive mind

forest condor
#

Definitely hive mind

#

(pheramones like the hive most likely)

rotund ferry
#

reminder the game already has magic

amber harbor
#

Why does it take human form tho

#

like it cold just as well be a river of insects

digital finch
#

easier to hit with bullets?

#

also this game already has magic ablities. finding the bounty with a special vision and power to read clues. Also the ability to banish things to hell. all that is magical
