thats why the beta is "spoiler free" and alpha 1.5 has "clues to full game"
They probably didn't wanna buy that much effort into a beta
If its done
Look at hn1 beta's
exactly
They were still the father son story at that time
And then fg came and changed it up
But then people will think that story is gonna be built upon
why does alex have to be so stupid....
Did the beta came out before the animated series during development?
Because I could've sworn that making cartoons takes a lot of time, and thats what Alex did with his own cartoon
AS didn’t take any time, it’s horrible.
Though, the budget might've took time, the story sure didn't
The story legit feels like Alex fed a general synopsis of HN lore to an AI and told it to spit out a show plot
We know how much he loves using AI in conjunction with the AS lol
It does feel like it lmao
this makes me wonder if Alex had to do something with the change of the story during HN1
unless Nikita changed it
when they delayed the game
Aaron is dead
Where do we go with that?
Other than everything lore wise
I’m talking effect wise
It caused Ted to do what he did in GN2 and leading to the time loop
Hey, if The Guest being a Manifestation really is correct then explain the plot holes of what the god of the Forest Protectors is, what grants the Forest Protectors luck, why the Forest Protectors are dressed as crows, and why the Guest has more power then the Thing, then I won't see any problems with the Guest being a Manifestation theory.
The almighty bird god
RB is all about birds it's not out of the question that they just worship birds
We know the guest is about emotions because that is literally how he appears to people
I still don't know why Theodore would have the choice to lock up Aaron I know he wants him to be safe and not die but that's way too harsh
(Was just in denial, I still am partly in denial)
guys Aaron is alive!!!
no way!
he can just cook the guest eggs!!!!!
smug idiot
bon guestite
go to the sandbox
the guest sure had some cool looking houses in concept arts
Also may I say Aaron is the character whose timeline has been retconned the most in this franchise. First he kills Mya sometime before March 1997, then suddenly it's May 3rd 1996, except now it's August 1995. He burned down Ted's House, except now he didn't. He distracted Ted in the Act 2 Ending, except now he doesn't distract Ted.
and now it's not even his fault Mya died in the AS
I like that they retconned him burning the house
And him distracting ted
Aaron is much more impactful now
He's a Catalyst now
For a bunch of bad things
So he was kinda right
"I make bad things happen"
Aaron really was a omen
just like his dad claimed in that room in Book 1 it seemed
(at least that's what Guidebook interpeted, shit I referenced the Guidebook)
we cant have freak accidents happen in AS!!!
thats too scary and sad for kids!
Ted claimed Aaron was a omen in the hidden room in Missing Pieces, Aaron said he makes bad things happen, turns out, they were right! Just not at the timeframe it was claimed
yep
That’s probably just cuz the town is like filled with Crows so they worship them, and The Guest isn’t more powerful than The Thing, it’s just Nicky was able to stop it.
its only in their for an achievement the GAAP coins in hnvr isnt really lore related
It was in his mind, and he was only able to do that when he was able to overpower it, by getting over his fears and trauma.
yeah the thing is just in nickys mind while the guest is a real being
Well No, it’s both, it just had more of an effect in his mind, as we see it in a 3rd person view from Nicky’s view.
how
Well we see it has effect in the outside world, we see it can go on top of things and sit on ledges and such.
The best I can say is
The Guest and The Thing have effects in the mind
They just perceive it differently
The Thing works better in the mind
While The Guest works better physically
when does the thing ever do this
He stand on top of the ledge of the burned down Peterson house
He would’ve just fazed through it
I still hate how they made Aaron into a legitimate curse tbh
It worked a lot better with Ted being delusional and in denial
The omen thing is fine
thats just nicky seeing things
Being 100% honest I hate the whole luck magic shit
your contradicting nikitas lore
It’s stupid
youve read all the books right
What?
bc once u do u learn to appreciate it
The luck devices cursing the Peterson family
(Don't worry, I'm with you)
He never specified if it was his mind or not, we just assumed it, also we still see The Thing from a 3rd person view, it’s there.
I’ve read the first 3 books and read parts of the second
The Thing is just a symbol of fear it’s not real oh my lord
Bro, you need to read the prequels.
why does he just randomly attack Quentin then?
They are so good
in hn2 fg?
who cares
nothing in hn2 makes sense anyway
he just does because they needed the guest in the game
Current HN2 isn’t canon, and he wasn’t attacking him, he bumped into his Van.
I'm talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05-yoRnsKVk&t
Kraaaa! Today we want to take a moment and thank you for your continued support, and shed light on the unknown. We're currently working on exciting updates for Hello Neighbor 2, which might take a little more time than usual. But we want to share our excitement with you now!
Here goes a little peek under the lid, because one of the highly requ...
That’s just a teaser
And it’s The Guest
I refuse to solely because of the luck magic stuff, I’m sorry it’s just stupid to make the problems something entirely out of their control because an evil group used magic to give them bad luck
It’s his thing
Also ik it’s through a luck device but cmon, it’s pretty much magic
but that contradicts the emotion stuff because from our knowledge Quentin isn't really feeling anything at that point in time
outside of maybe fear from seeing it
How does it contradict anything in GN2 it’s going after Pris just, because
No reason he just wants her as a host
He’s just attacking because either he hates him, or he has something he doesn’t deserve.
you mean Regina?
No he wants Pris
The one he calls her name through the window and tries to drown
Regina is the red head girl
if it's Pris he is after then that's a hole in the emotion stuff aswell
Regina is depressed over flan
The Guest attacks Quentin because he just wants to, what he does to Aaron and all of those characters is because he wants them
But he’s not after Regina, he’s just tormenting her
if the Guest wanted Quentin he would manipualte him
He really wants Pris
To take over her mind
No???
He’s going after Pris
He tries to drown Pris, he legit calls Pris’ name through the window
Regina was just in his way
Not trying to contradict what you are saying, I am saying that if it's Pris he is after then the emotion stuff doesn't make sense because Pris isn't depressed like Regina is
Bud, he did the same with Aaron and Ted so he can use them to his benefit, he’s doing the same with her.
idk if you guys realized but what The guest does to Regina is what he does to Aaron. He gets to those characters and then uses them to get what he really wants, being Ted/Pris
except he didn't get pris
he got Ted
Yeah
He got Ted because he tried to stop the Mayak, then tried to get Pris
But he failed because Regina pulled her out
Idk how y’all are saying he’s not after Pris he legit says her name, tries to crash her car, goes directly after her in the water
If he wanted Regina he could’ve taken her while Pris was underwater
if he wanted Regina he could've just done it in the nest lol
He went for pris cuz he knew he was gonna weaken from Ted getting over his emotions, failed and went for Ted himself.
but he didn't
Same case with Aaron and Ted
He’s using them
While Ted is his creator
I’m pretty sure the only reason Ted changed his mind is because of Regina being a 10 year old girl with red hair
Like Mya
To feed off
Eh, maybe.
She resembled Mya and it finally made him realize
I can't wait for book 9 to tell us what the Guest really wants and conclude the hello neighbor series!
Sad
If he wants to feed off people's emotions Regina would be a better target over Pris
No, Entity’s of Manifestation stars that they can only feed off the creator.
We'll never find out what happened to the town loop
I think the Guest is, biased
He claims to take things people don’t deserve, but really he’s just taking things he wants
In the alphas he’s taking garbage, specifically shoes
the characters
Then why is the thing tormenting the rescue squad instead of Nicky?
when Nicky isn't even there
Like legit he stockpiles garbage, something nobody wants or deserves
It isnt, those are other entity’s
Here
because they're scared of Ted
when they kill Ted he turns into the thing
exactly, so they cannot be stuck to one person
A Guide to Manifestation In the universe of Hello Neighbor if you deal with great emotion you may see some entities. What are Manifestation Entities? They are Entities that have one primary goal, to make the person who has the emotions that created it deal with it more, in turn making itself mor...
READ
So of course they’re scared of Ted and when they beat him ingame they defeat their fear
Thus he turns into The Thing
We’re not reading your self speculation as canon proof, I’m going off of what Nikita himself has said
The Thing isn’t real, it’s just fear and trauma
I think he does both. He does take things people don't deserve like Flan and Aaron, but he also just hoards stuff in the nest like a bunch of Ted's belongings
Ted did NOT deserve that random chair
Idk if you know this but there can be multiple creators of one, and plus each round it’s a different entity from the different kids minds.
Guest had to take it
The Thing is just how the HN universe represents fear, plain and simple
Isn’t real
Isn’t an entity
Isn’t sentient
this really doesn't help
idk why people think he's a manifestation that's just the guest
the thing is literally just a mind thing
that just exists in hn
and nothing else
he has no emotions
or goal
That’s to you
people are treating the guest = manifestation theory as fact
Yeah
The Thing is the only one we have a fact of what it is
The Guest we have no idea still
Well, no, he grew when Nicky started to get more trauma, and died when Nicky got over it, The Guest was getting stronger as Ted sorrow got worse, and got scared when Ted was getting over it, it also used people to its own benefit against Ted.
No matter how accurate a theory can be or how much it makes sense, it never be considered fact unless outright confirmed by a writer to be fact.
by emotions I mean the entity in question can feel different emotions, The Guest can be angry or sad or curious, the thing cannot do any of that
he's just blank
And again, we know for a fact what The Thing is unless the lore changes it
Which the AS would probably change it bc it’s dumb
Well its not in hn 2
The house is normal
yeah cause the as and hn2 are barely connected despite being connected
This can go further, if this is truly Nikita’s big thing it makes sense, the idea of it works in the world, it’s taking peoples emotions and hallucinations into realism, such as WW2 veterans having P.T.S.D. And hearing thing and making it worse fuss making the things they see worse, or people with actual trauma start to see things, or even Sleep paralysis.
True
I sometimes pretend hn 2 is old lore couse its less confusing lol
I think HN2 is in it's own little universe if I'm being honest
And also because they were mainly focused on the Old HN2 side
not connected to either canon
We can take this to account and say that in the world of HN these things could be thriving and we don’t know about it.
The AS overwrites everything
It’s not connected to anything else it’s doing it’s own thing even if it sucks
I dont understand what happend to hn 2 story why is it a mix of both canons
maybe they are just trying to add AS elements to old lore
such as the unlucky coins
So what is even the main story anymore
The AS is
Current HN2 is AS lore, The Guest origin is the same, and the story plays out the same just the Lore Exploration is a bit goofy.
HN2 and the AS don’t even take place in the same era anymore
No, just no.
HN2 is 1998 and the AS is the 2010s
HNVR, SN, HND and HE are carrying Old Lore, it’s the canon lore.
Nope not anymore, the AS takes priority
Alex said it’s the thing tying all the lore together
You really trusting Alex
Sorry to tell you this but
Well old lore is still canon though
Alex lies I know but he works directly on the AS
He makes the big decisions on it
Above the writers making thumbnails etc etc
He’s even told us how most of the story goes
I hate the AS but if there’s one thing Alex knows about it’s that
Well its an AU not connected with the games except hn 2
AS is just a way for Alex to make easy money off kids on YT through monetization and such, he only changes the lore to make it more comedic so kids come back to watch more, it’s just Alex’s fever dream, and there’s HNVR continuing it along with SN and soon to be HE and HND, Old lore is the canon, don’t let Alex get to you with AS, it did with me and it made by brain shit.
The only way for AS to be canon is for marketing on it other than YT
To go further
With new games and such following it
And we clearly see that’s not the case
And no
You can’t say HN2 counts
As it to was Old Lore
But it was quickly swapped last second
And with the feedback going on it might as well revert
The thing is the new games only follow it because they were being made before the lore change
HNVR has been in development for a long time
It’s based on the HN2 Alphas even down to the layout
What old lore
1 Man in the hat
The Mayak badge and mentioning the park and how HG got scrapped?
I understand that, but simply if HN2 is fixed then Old Lore is riser back, we wi have it compete and then AS can go further but with Old Lore complete it can’t compete with it no matter what.
MITH is a badge because he’s an event in the game
Manifestationens
There the tornado badge and many others being referenced to Old Lore.
Listen you can believe what you believe
One message removed from a suspended account.
But AS is just a shit hole for monetization money
yt doesnt pay much money for animated content....
Exactly
That we can agree on, but Alex does genuinely have a connection to it
It’s just a way to save TB
alex is just making a dumb financial decision
One message removed from a suspended account.
Lmfao the AS has been being planned since before their stocks dropped
Yeah…but it’s Alex, Nikita always comes first and that’s a fact.
Yeah but this is just easy money
Except when he got replaced by Alexus on HN2
Which is what happened
One message removed from a suspended account.
That was done by TB, nothing to do with story.
what badge?
Mayak badge
So replacing Nikita has nothing to do with story except it has everything to do with story because Nikita wasn’t part of development for the last part
The mayak one
What do you mean
why couldnt they just retell the book stories...
Listen books is still canon for me
Yeah, “The last part” I already said Old HN2 was the canon version, they just swapped it last second.

I don't really care enough to complain either

But how the hell is Old HN2 canon if Old HN2 doesn’t exist anymore
we shouldn't ignore HN2
hn2 had potential man...
It does, lore wise.
and I liked Quentin him being non canon is just sad
We have the elements of it
but not trust it either
What lore we didn’t even get to learn what it had planned fully
hg quentin my beloved...
We know how hn2 would've gone at like the start but that's it
You can easily figure out how hn2 would've gone
There's your hn2
its a shame that Quentin is just non canon now
He is just old version
is he tho? old hn2 was never finished
Of him
Alright here’s an East resolution put “
” for Old Lore, Put “
” for AS Lore.
How did it happen if it legit never happened
One message removed from a suspended account.
Case closed
Old Lore is canon
AS is not canon vector
One message removed from a suspended account.
Even if we never got the actual hn2 those events still happened, even if we don't know the full story.
Storm hits, cops arrive, ted runs away, fake aaron is set up, quentin arrives, rest of game happens

if alex wanted to reboot hn he should have at least finished the original story
oh shut up

Please stop
all I see you do in this server is try to piss people off
Old lore was all planned out and then Alex hit it with AS, it’s just a scam job for money like I said, you can’t just put in a bootleg that’s being used for money over the original deal that gives the whole lore.

Let me put it simple
No when HNVR released
SN is still going along with book stuff, hnvr is original, HE is too, and HND. It's literally only hn2
Hn2 is literally the only different game
the mid game
Would you rather watch the original Teen titans or Teen Titans go, one is made for the story one is made for kids and easy money.
Obviously the service was more for the OG
Fuss it was the real deal
Same here
No matter how bad it is one is canon one isn’t
So even if hn2 and AS are the current thing I don't really care enough

I thought it was spring?
First half of 2023
oh
Why im a bit sad is becouse i dont wanna be mean or anything i just really loved the story in the books and i just dont want it to be thrown away
Canoncy*
Anyways talking about Canon lore, could there have been other ways as last resorts to save the Cult other than the catacombs, G.A.C. And possibly Museum.
How about we end lore now
No
Whenever it comes to hn lore, its always arguing, phising and other shit
Yes
if the old lore isnt canon then almost all of the games are non canon vector 
the AS literally retcons hn1
hn1
not even the original game is safe
That’s stated cuz of AS
From now one can we just refer AS as “the Bootleg”
One message removed from a suspended account.
Thanks gusy
If hn2 and AS are canon, we get 6 non canon games and 9 non canon books in favor of 1 canon game and a canon cartoon.
How fun
Swear
Listen I get it’s Alex
But you can’t just believe him
Even he doesn’t make sense what he says
One message removed from a suspended account.
“R.S. Save Nicky”
Oh yeah, let's make those non-canon stuff cost money, meanwhile making a free TV show free canon!
Exactly
seeing how tb is doing rn
Imagine the people saying "waste of money, loving irony"
I dont have hopes hn2 will even be finished
Me too
hn2 was wasted man....

I’m fine with AS as long as people don’t take it crazy serious
No he did he just says Nicky saves Aaron makes more sense
(It doesn’t)
But to be fair, he DID try to warn us
It’s very real!
what the hell
Damn what happened here
im getting mixed signals from alex
did alex become a completely diffrent person after he started making the AS???
im so confused
He decided HN was his creation
Bye bye Nikita
Remember Nikita took a break! And on that break everything just so happened to get worse
People think AS is canon
wait so alex sorta admits he made weird decisions
for the games but most likely the animated series
Sadly, that's what happened
rip
it later than foreshadowed a list of unfortunate events
but at the same time if he knows he was making weird decisions why didn't he get someone else to do it?
maybe he had no choice or something
so ummm any lore to talk about?
Not really there isn’t much with Canon lore neither with AS.
Hopefully we don't talk lore anymore, because this is a mess
thanks a lot alex....
I can still cant believe he thought it was a good idea to literally retcon EVERYTHING
he should have listened to himself...
people discussing lore for a game series that died in 2019
Sure bud sure
Why are you here then
If its apperantly so dead
im here because i still have the server from when i actually liked the game
You joined june 30
Lmao
Hi
What’s up
It always has been
New lore is cool because it has The Guest.
Would you rather have a Entity of manifestation that is super smart and cynical, or a Demon who is just on a rampage in town.
Both sound stupid
Then don’t argue lore?
I prefer the first more
I like manipulative guest
I prefer both
True
Both.
They should like combine them
Nah
Nah
We know the cult saw him as a god and summoned him via Rituals.
So, if HN2's lore got changed for the AS's "lore", why are there so many inconsistencies?
Those are all place holders because they changed it last minute
How do we know it got changed last minute?
For some easy money for the show
Because all the way hyping up to the beta after that it just changed
Alex Said
Anyways
They already made new lore
Talking lore
When the beta launched
We know Two things
Already when The Guest was made.
So maybe beta is new lore
No
Beta has Canon Lore elements
That’s why they called it spoiler free
Why would he say they already writen the story yet
As it was spoiler free from Current HN2
Also in the beta they said
Wait a sec
This build doesnt containt spoilers yet expect everything to click together in the end
Yeah
Cuz of Canon lore
The ending was true to Canon lore
The elements were
So like it cant be a whole different canon from the full game
Quentin falls for the bait if the fake Aaron and is greeted by The Guest
Im confused
Why would they change the story so late in production doesnt make sense
I thought the "fake Aaron" was just made because they didn't have a model for him.
I’ll tell you why, easy money for the AS.
Old lore isn't canon and HN2 is cano- gets shot
Nope
Hn1:
HN2 ain’t even canon
Here’s the deal
If AS really is canon
That makes all the games
Except HN2
Non canon
Nothings canon 🧌
That makes 8 books non canon
No it was a scraped plot point very likely
And 2 novels non canon
Everything in hn is dead :troII:
Tbh, I don't see why people are still trying to solve the lore or talk about it when its the same damn thing we talk in the chat 24/7
Yes
Like, can we just forget about this now, I know guestaraunt won't
We’re not we literally already solved that Old lore is canon two months ago, people can’t take that in, even though it’s been the truth all of HN.
I’m fine with both lores
Then why continue this whole investigation 2 months later?
Just one contradicts the rest more
Cuz people keep bringing it back up
Which is the problem
Like “AS is canon bro” “what’s your proof”
We don't need to hear the same thing all over again and again
Yeah
I see it as this they tested making AS canon but it didnt work
Yeah exactly
It failed
They could have pulled off a HN2 on VR but didn’t
If you have nothing to do in this server, don't try to bring up the same topic
Just give it a break, and think of an idea for this server
The only people bringing up old lore are old lore fans
Why are we even arguing
Bro, all the new fans are just little kids 💀
Anyways
Talking abt lore
We have two sides of The Guest
A super smart manipulative power
And then a rampaging demon
Ok, thats something I have never heard of
I like both version to be honest
Same
I prefer old lore guest still
I think it's funny how so many people didn't like the books before AS but now everyone loves the books
Yeah you weren’t here for the AS era of lore dis
Shit
Because we never took the time to appreciate them before Alex gave us the AS
And god
I appreciate them a lot
After seeing AS
Yeah it was weird then
During that time I was the top notch for a while
I prefer the super smart and maniputive guest because
- He is not your ordinary spooky creature that would run away everytime you get near him
- He isn't what you expect, you expect him to be some demon that is trying to catch you or whatever, but instead it is some creature that would manipulate you, and have swarm of crows to come up to you, giving the sign that the guest is here
Yeah
I’m short, The AS Guest is just, the cult wanted a resort for power, decided to summon the god they believe in, end up summoning The Guest, lock him in the attic to make him obedient, end up being disobedient and runs away, and is now in a rampage in town.
Alex Said alpha 1.5 and demo was made after
The final games content got locked in
So maybe
Alright Bye
No
It is a new and modern story made by Alex
He is trying to replicate hn1 original story where Mr Peterson was at one point a killer, and trying to mix in the old lore
Hm
Which then became the AS lore as we know of today
When was he a killer?
He was a killer back in the era where dynamic pixels didn't team up with tinybuild
O:
them being able to lock up a god makes him look not much like a god
He ain’t
They think of him as one
He’s a demon
is this timeline correct?
GN1

HND is after act 4, and then yes it will be correct
in book 6 Norman Darby says he told his secrets to someone named Roth, was that jay, or someone else with a similar last name
@tacit meteor
I'm here
There is no person behind the mask
He’s an entity
Created by the emotions of Mr. Petersons mind
That makes sense
It's good to see he appeared in the TV game
I meant vr
My bad
Who do you think knocks you out at the end of hello neighbor 2?
Good point
But it just makes me curious
Who did it?
And why
Well I know why
Just who did it
I mean it can be guest 
But it can be anyone
It could be the Mayor
We just dont know
Well I guess we have to wait
mayor is the leader of the cult
the cult HATES ted
why would he protect ted?
the most likely person to do this is the missing journalist
who is an enemy of the cult..
Yeah but In HN2 he’s dead
The biggest question I got is who is smarter: Ted or Bruce Wayne
I was gonna say Bruce but
Ted is very smart
We just barely see it
they both build a giant underground secret base
Yeah
While Teds was to save a career Bruce’s was for vengeance
I have a question, does The Guest kill Ted in GN2??
because if The Guest is an entity created by Ted's emotions, why would he kill Ted??
Also, what do the HN2 tapes mean? And the secret room under the golden apple fountain??
Could The Guest be a Ted's personality created because of the traumas he has?
Guest was supposed to stalk Quentin thruought the town in old HN2
Thing couldnt do that
he also did that in HN2 beta tho...
Y’a des français ?
the cult cursed the family in the 60s
cuz Adelle and Roger tried to expose them
thats why they always had bad luck
Ok can someone explain which lore is cannon?
I’ve heard the old lore and new lore and just HN2 but which is cannon?
This is NOT CONFIRMED! Don't introduce new people to the lore with theories and treat them as fact, instead say "I personally believe that [Insert theory here]" When talking about theories, I'm sorry if I sound rude but you really shouldn't treat this theory as fact until it is confirmed. (And yes I know this is #lore-discussion but you were using the theory to help introduce someone to the lore without stating it's a theory at all)
I mean
old lore is canon to
hn1
hnhs
SN
HE
HND
HNVR
while new lore only with the cartoon and only the cartoon
And HN2 is by itself?
hn2 cant be canon to anything because the game states multiple times that its in 1996
while the As takes place in like the 2010s
with the smartphones
Quentin has a smartwatch in hn2 so thats a bit weird
hn2 refferences bosco bay and gn2 which are old lore
with old lore dates
hn2 just doesnt really fit into anything
the main issue with hn2 is that Aaron is still with his dad
while in hnvr that ties in well with old lore implies that he is either dead or captured by the guest
Thanks for explaining
We've only seen the watch being used as an alarm clock and to see the time.
But mostly to see the time because the alarm clock is only used in nightmare 1, I believe.
So, yeah, it's not a smartwatch.
Can anybody tell me which things are canon and which are not??
still the electronic screen
then I used the wrong word for it
Are now the years in HN lore changed??
I reccomend you ignore the cartoon
it doesnt make sense with the games at all
ok, thanks
I think the most important thing the AS will do is introduce the concept of the Guest
I have a question about GN2, does the Guest kill Ted, enter his body, or he is a 2nd personality of Ted?
Yeah, probably.
Well he’s already introduced
Smh?
Why do you always say "smh"?
but introduced as a concept, not as a character, because he is an entity, but we don't know how that works
Well I think hn 2 will do that
At least I hope so
I think the Guest could be like Ted's 2nd personality or something like that
then the fight Ted has with Guest in GN 2 could be a mental fight
but this "theory" is just me trying to give a meaning to that strange fight
I'm thinking about Guest and Theodore like what Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty are
He can’t
The intro
Debunks that
Same with hnvr
ok, now I think that the Guest is an entity made by Ted's emotions or traumas, I mean, something like the shadow in HN 1 that haunted Nicky in act 3 and 4
You kinda got it, The Guest is a entity of manifestation formed from Teds sadness, while in AS he’s a demon on a rampage.
So
Is the guest actually physical
In hnvr
He seems like a ghost
I’m confused
I understand that, but the question they asked was what was The Guest, and as of now that is our best origin, even though it isn’t confirmed, which it may never be confirmed because of Alex, it’s the best choice and actually reasonably makes sense as Nikita’s little secret for the story.
He’s physical
As of now Entities of Fear or Trauma are only in your mind.
like the shadow that haunted Nicky
That’s an entity of fear or trauma
What guest isn’t real!?
No no
I clarified that only The Thing entity’s are mind things
They are still real
But only affect the mind
The guest then
Did he just pop up
But The Guest is a entity of Sadness or Depression
Bud, that was in the Nest?
he is like a physsic repressentation of Ted's pain
Same way Regina did
They went through weird holes or doors and they end up there
All of the nightmare type cutscenes are in the nest in VR
So was Aaron in the nest
When he meet guest
No, he was in the basement.
I mean underground
I think he was just in the basement, but the nest showed how they met
So how do you imagine the guest was created
Did he just spawn
From inside mr Peterson
Smh
idk, Ted suffered so much that all that pain transformed into the Guest, or something
He popped up, only The Thing as of now grows and most likely same with The Guest, but when they get out of blob form have to choose they’re form, The Guest formed in the G.A.A.P. As Ted hanged there a lot, and saw the G.A.M. First and took its form.
Best conclusion we have
I hope the manifestation is still canon
I don’t like guest
Being a demon
Summoned
I understand, but next time just say "It's speculated that" or "My theory is" so confusion isn't created incase it turns out that the guest isn't a manifestation
me neither
It isn’t confirmed, but based on quite literally everything it most likely is.
I understand
I hope the tapes meant the guest was just
Spying on the cult
During a ritual
No
We literally here him get summoned in them
He’s getting angry
It sounds like
Maybe they captured him
We know it’s a summon because
And was trying to sacrifice him or something
All of his vocals are just echos but the last one was very straight to the source
Fuss meaning he pooped up out of thin air
So he was summoned via rituals
the crows hate Ted, so, maybe they give a physsic form to his pain, in order to give him even more
They don’t hate Ted.
but, what do HN2 tapes mean??
That just sounds really dumb
Well
Well better then them summoning him I really don’t like that
The guest should be a being that isn’t
Summoned or anything In my opinion
He should have basically just created himself
There’s the old tapes which is basically The Guest getting summoned, The new ones which is M.J. Recording all of his investigations as he follows Quentin’s footsteps of figuring out the Cult secrets before it leading him to his death.
for what I know, in a tape we hear thw rollercoaster that killed Mya, so maybe the tape in which we hear the Forest Protectors "summoning" the Guest could just be a recorded ritual they made with the luck device
More like Quentin's following his footsteps
who was M.J??? I'm really bad with the names
Where do you think guest
Comes from
MJ stands for Missing Journalist
I heard another theory
His main goal is to make Teds emotions worse to juice up more, but then started to manipulate people to spread more, and then he started to take over RB and Etc.
From you
aaaaa, thanks
Just like how MitH stands for Man in the Hat
No doesn’t sound like that
I don't really know for sure where the Guest comes from
Right my bad
Mouse kinda solved it
He first in the Lore appears in G.A.A.P.
Which makes sense as that’s where he got his form.
Golden Apple Amusement Park
No but like what game
People believe it's Manifestation stuff but at the same time it just doesn't make sense to me how the Guest could have so much power if he's a Manifestation, but I don't know for sure
They think that because of the statue in HE
with the eyes covered up with tape
What did you mean by radiation
Once
Implying this to be where the guest gained it's form
Look I myself had no clue what the hell I was talking about
all this talking could end up being stupid when the AS finally introduces the Guest's concept
Oh it was some kind of cut HN1 Power-Up like the Super Throw or Double Jump I'm pretty sure
Well throughout the story we see him just torment Ted and slowly got stronger from it, and then when in GN2 when Ted got over his feeling The Guest got scared and tried to stop it fun going for Pris, failing and went for Ted, as if he possesses someone he most likely isn’t affected.
I’d imagine the reason why he’s such an Apex predator is because
He’s different from other manifestations
He thinks more ahead
Well 2 different
Canons
Likely
I misremembered the name, it was Emission not Radiation
For Ex: The Thing, all it did was just torment Nicky nothing else, while The Guest didn’t have one mission but many and always thought of good strategies to accomplish them.
and why did he posses Ted??
Cuz he was weakening most likely
Yeah but AS ain’t canon
There’s Two canons AS isn’t the real canon one
As of now at least
and in what would that help? if Ted's suffering gives him more power, why would the Guest possess him?
for me, maybe the concept of the Guest that will be introduced in AS could be the canon one
He didn’t want to, he wanted pros first but failed so last resort was Ted.
We already know the AS origin
He’s a demon going rampage
There
a, I don't like that concept
Yeah well it’s most definitely the one
In AS he isn’t smart or anything
Just an angered demon
what a bad concept
I preffer that Guest concept just being canon in the AS lore
in my opinion, the physsic repressentation of Ted's pain is better
Entities of manifestation work more
an entity of manifestation is one that is needed to do a ritual to make him appear no??
then why is he related to Ted?
No, they appear just from thin air
so, he gets power from pain, and because Ted suffers a lot he haunts him?
It's possible that they could be brought into the world via mayak storms
True
since if you listen closely to the storm in SN
you can hear guest noises in the lightning
@shell gull this clip has the sound
and also the badge mentioning Manifestations
We need animations like this in hn 2 lol
there are 2 different versions of book 1, the one that came out in august is different, when it describes Mya it says she has "dark hair like her mothers" but it was changed after hide n seeks launch to "red hair like her mothers" random little fact I learned recently
Oh
what?
I can actually imagine that being a scene
huh
I didn't know that
Yeah that’s why Diane used to have Dark hair
That's so cool
It's canon to some moments
Do you guys think the guest will patrol around raven brooks or have its own dlc/level?
Another dlc sounds very ridiculous
I doubt that'll happen
If it was it would HAVE to be free
It's pretty obvious that this is just some free update to the base game
"Free" is an impossible thing for Tinybuild
Money talks to them
f r e e that spells free creditreport.com baby
i still can't play the hello copter dlc
Cool
question, how can mr peterson transform into a child
is the forst protactors and guest same person
also who is the guest
also this
how can mr peterson transform into a child
ok thx
so then the books describe the forest protectors to look similar to guest
who is the guest really
He can’t, all of sn except the lobby is in the childrens heads (if i’m remembering correctly)
It could be him but its more likely the missing journalist, the proportions match him more than they match mith
The guest is just some demon bird thing that is a own entity
I think he's just some Manifestation of Aaron and Ted's emotions
Secret neighbor is just the kid's imagination
They just imagined the neighbor turning as a kid cuz children reasons, while in reality it's fake
did you make this?
randomuser made that
you sure?
Yes
#hello-neighbor message
The original message
Randomuser is REALLY good at animating
yeah
At least the guest is 100% canon
Yeah but his origin has likely changed
And his purpose
We'll see
Hey so idk if this will be interesting to anyone but I found this version of HN Missing Pieces
It was up on Amazon can anyone tell me they have this version of Missing Pieces(?)
Give me some context perhaps
Yeah I mean I know that
Sorry it's just I'm very giddy on this
Cause I love the Nicky trilogy so much
So for me this is like gold
I'll try and keep updates on this
I just need to know does anyone actually own this version,, if so what is the difference between this and the final book
From my understanding in the old version it said that Mya had dark hair like her Mother, after HNHS it got changed to Orange/Red hair (not sure which it stated) like her Mother.
Hi
Most likely in the original story Nicky probably wasn't gonna have a grandma so that would mean his grandma wouldn't had given him a fear of going to places alone but instead maybe Nicky would find fear his own eventually
Imagine if it has some lore that was cut from the final version of the book
chapter 1??
this like, all the way to the end now
It's a preview of the book. It could be wildly different from the final version for all we know
but its almost the same paragraph
like, 'Hello Readers. Im Nicky and rn, I'm in the middle of a park, cause a friend told me to go there after basically not seeing them at all for days'
great intro
also due to being a preview they may have cut out most of the book
We don't really know much other then this being a preview of the book so we can't really say why it's near the end of the book unless we have the entire preview
When does gn2 take place?
Da future
Act 3 is 2017, Reset Day is 2022, GN2 is pre Act 3.
So i love the manifestation idea
Possibly before that
But are we 100 procent sure
No, like 70%
What does the Nightmare
With guest shadow
Behind mr Peterson
Mean
Isn’t a nightmare, it’s the Nest, it’s just the kids seeing the Guest being desperate for Ted in the nest.
By desperate
To torture him
Make him hate himself
Make him more emotionally impacted
Are there any proof in vr hes a manifestation
Then
And not just a demon
Or something
Yeah what I just said, and also how he gets stronger, from Teds mind getting worse after the ending.
That’s AS
So like in original hn 2
What was the guest
Role likely
A guest
