The Lore & Story of Dead Cells (with ALL DLCs)
While the story of Dead Cells has never been its main focus, relying more on the “rule-of-cool” than a clear narrative, there is a ton of lore in the game that tells the story of how its Island Kingdom was ruined by the disease known as the Malaise. The game has seen the release of several DLCS - The Bad Seed, Fatal Falls, The Queen and the Sea, and Return to Castlevania - that have expanded that lore and story even further. Due to how much information there is, it can be difficult to see it all, so let’s put it all together here so we can see the full story of Dead Cells.
Thanks for watching!

00:00 - Intro
02:01 - History of the Kingdom

The Lore & Story of The Last Faith
Переглядів 32 тис.3 місяці тому
The Last Faith is a gothic metroidvania that looks like a fusion between Castlevania and Bloodborne. It's an enjoyable game that has a stylistic world that oozes atmosphere. However, with words like "Nycrux" and "Sepolcri" and "Institute Scientia" and characters that talk in vague, contradictory riddles, its story is super confusing and hard to understand. Let's try to decipher it all and prese...

    Is such evolution really worth billions of lives and all our morals? Can we even call ourselves human after such decision? What's the point of all this? The death brought upon our species, the result of wich is a small radical techno-theocratic community of "a lil better" nutjobs worshipping the aliens and putting them before their own people? Oh, sorry, the rest are just muggles to them, only worthy to be sacrificed for a curated evolution. Not even our own, but alien made, like we're some guinea pigs. A group that's ready to do such things don't deserve to be called humans. They are much more akin to the other monsters, created by this plague on humanity's future.

    If I was to presume, the reason why some people become enlightened while others turn into monsters or just survive with a prolonged lifespan is the visitors are manually curating which humans survive and won’t. That’s why Important people have such a high enlighten rate.

    Thank you so much for making this lore video! I played through the game, explored everywhere, and even got the secret/true ending discussed at the end of this video, but I still had little idea what the game was actually about. As you said, it's a shame that the story elements let this game down so much, as the gameplay, visuals, and music are outstanding! I agree that it would be splendid to see the studio create a more cohesive narrative for their next game. Anyway, cheers for this!

  • @Ijustusethistocommentstuff
    @Ijustusethistocommentstuff 2 дні тому

    Honestly, I don't think the ending to HM2 is ENTIRELY literal. It could be that it's more of a metaphorical bomb, the culmination of all the things the characters have done, all in one moment. All their suffering, all the pain they've caused, wiped out in an instant, as the consequences engulf them. No one will remember Jacket, or anything that happened in HM2. All they'll remember is the war with Russia and the 50 Blessings. A clean slate. Everything as it was supposed to be. The Cold War, restarted again. I feel like it's more about the backdrop for the bombing. We see a near-hallucination of the man in the chicken mask. It was also just the START of the war, which would have been quick for a total bombing.

      Its an allegory to actual russian government that consists of relatives, friends and friends of friends. Basically whole russian government is built like mafia. Bratva in russian means "brotherhood", which is pretty fitting for a bunch of wealthy idiots doing favors to their "bros" by giving them high ranking jobs and thing alike

    Something people often overlook is the control the visitors have over the reborn.... To be able to control over every action and thought humans have...... What would have happened if the Titan had been used defensively only.... Instead of going to launch an attack against a much more heavily defended enemy.

    Honestly now I wish so much there was like a harder Creators boss variant where you fight all four of them. That boss was definitely my favourite, if a bit too easy. It really scratches that Sisters of Battle/Nightmare King Grimm itch Hollow Knight gave me. Also this was an awesome summary in general. I just wanted to learn the name of the 4th Creator without running the Corrupt mode, but it ended up tying everything together so neatly, so now I can be sure I don't miss any major details.
