      I feel like he took that form on purpose to make fun of us; like up until The New War he could only appear as a reflection of is current observer, but after the events of TNW he was finally able to take his own "true" form where he made the epithet we gave him literal rather than metaphorical.

      @@mr.cobalt1668 That would really fit as many of the theories I've seen have talked about how Wally could just be a reflection of those that are unique that have entered the void. So making his true form based on our perception of him would fit with that.

      ​@CertifiedForklifter so all of the you that took the deal. Wally killed off. Leaving only 1 of you. Immortal and unkillable. The other older you was the other choice. Or never even given the option. But the void still can be molded with emotion and imagination. Older you probably might of went mad as a kid and created the duviri and forgetting it. Now the duviri is made from the void but it was created to be a safe space from the void. Cuz of story reasons young you were out of commission. So wally did his thing and looked around to find a you that survived without taking the deal. Found older you in an endless loop of death and (in the most literal sense) gave you a hand to break the loop. Once you were out wally used older you as an anchor to bring back young you. That's why you can start the game with older you off the bat. It's you but with a slightly different start but in the end linked to younger you through the deal. Now in one major story you play as older you but no powers. Why? I think older you needed a jump start to link to your young self. That jump start came as a concentrated void beam about to atomize older you. You didn't get hit but the amount of energy so and so was blasting out was enough to finally save both the yous.

    From how the Wally acts and talks, seems like just a scientist that discovers a new element. You want to pick and prod at, study the very limits of what you can do to it. See all its reactions and of course not destroy any of it you can't recover. However for Wally having these fingers in our realm ties him to time, like nailing down a kite in a tornado. Sure the kite may fly off and the string snaps but hat string left on that nail tells of where the kite was and always would've been. So that also means somewhere around 1999 is when Wally first got trapped in time unable to go back or forward beyond Rell and the Labs.

    As players, we know for certain of the location of two of Wally fingers. Both located in Reliquary Drives - on the players Railjack and on the Zariman Ten-Zero, the latter best seen during Void Armageddon missions.
    Now, during talks between Cavalero and Archimedean Yonta onboard Zariman, they discuss the 'finger-relics', wondering how many are left - and Yonta says: "Fewer than there used to be. So long as the originals are safely sealed away of course."
    Which would imply Orokin somehow learned to copy the cut off fingers in order to create Reliquary Drives for more than just a few ships - makes sense, the Orokin Empire hardly operated on only 5 ships. Which opens interesting questions.
    Is either Zariman or Railjack finger the original? Wally seemed very interested in the finger aboard the Railjack, and in multiple voicelines implied player-Tenno can give the finger back to him, but it seems odd for something this important to be located on a random Railjack. On the other hand, it would make sense for original finger to be aboard Zariman - it was a massively important project for the Orokin, and assumption genuine fingers are more potent than copies and thus neccesary for a ship of this size is not far-fetched, and the Reliquary of Zariman is endlessly assaulted by Void Angels. But then, why pay any interest to the finger inside the Railjack.
    That, in my view, gives us three distinct possibilities.
    First - one is genuine, and the interest in the other is a bluff.
    Second - Neither of the fingers is the original, and Wally trying to get them is a bluff distracting us while He is searching for genuine article.
    Third, and my preferred - all of them are genuine. The copy-fingers were created utilizing the Void phenomenon of conceptual embodiment, by which new fingers that are just as 'rea'l as the originals may exist. As such, Wally - a creature born of conceptual embodiment himself - just need a finger, any finger, and it will work. Whether or not it would collapse the 'concept' of the finger in physical reality and other copies would cease to exist or regaining the finger would allow Him to pinpoint the copies so he can destroy them, fully and utterly unanchoring himself from linear time, one can only guess.

    • @navi3769
      @navi3769 2 місяці тому +5

      yeah, but do remember the Zariman void jump failure was not an accident... would the orokin be foolish enough to send the true finger right back to Wally?
      perhaps the entity itself does not know which one is real (the creator of the fingers is probably dead, so as to not risk information leak or mind reading), then it would make more sense to refer to them all as digits, in plural

      I think the drive on the Zariman ten zero is an original since it looks like an actual finger and the zariman was such an important ship I doubt the orokin would use experimental tech on such an important mission.
      And the one on the railjack is a copy because it seems to be like a blob of void energy and railjacks were mass produced at the time of the old war.

    I wouldn't be too quick to differentiate the "great indifference" as a place separate from Wally just yet... I wouldn't put it past an eldritch entity to also *be* the place as well. Kinda like how the meaty lattice of flesh shared across all the infested lifeforms is all part of a single hive-minded body of sorts, so is probably Wally's alien realm also a sort of manifestation of his physical body, with all the little murmur creatures being his antibodies and white cells.
    That's probably why he couldn't physically manifest and take over the Origin System before all the things that weakened his shackles in the void started happening through the story: _his actual physical form is unfathomably gigantic and alien,_ so much that we can just walk and parkour inside it like we're Osmosis Jones. Wally is having trouble forcing all of himself into the Origin System because it's like trying to push a big plush toy through the tiny neck of a water bottle.
    Edit: Of note is how Corrupted Vor now has a dialogue line about how "a wall of *bone* awaits his joining" when fighting him in the Undercroft, which is part of what makes me see Wally that way. You know all those oddly-colored stone structures and sand in that eldritch realm that is slowly taking over Albrecht's laboratories? Yeah, that's probably not just stone and sand...

    If I may submit my theory as to why The Man in The Wall is missing many fingers while we only ever see him missing one finger, I think one of the Requiem Mods is key. The Mod in question is *"OULL",* the wild card of the set.
    Like the other Requiem Mods, *"OULL"* has a Requiem Poem fragment attached to it. Unlike the other Poem fragments, however, this one appears to be a prelude or post-script fragment as putting it anywhere else in the Poem itself breaks its flow.
    The fragment reads, "From endless faces, countless forms, a multitude unfolds."
    My theory then is that it was not just one Man in The Wall who lost his right index finger but multiple Men in The Wall who all lost their right index fingers at the same time when Euleria Entrati slammed the Untime Door shut on their hand after her father gave the command.
    And while it's possible the Orokin were able to replicate the Indifferent Façade of The Man in The Wall to make even more fingers, that may have made even more Men in The Wall as a consequence.
    Now then...

      Why thank you! If you're asking for the in-lore reason as for why my character became a loremaster-in-training, as far as they remember they simply had a love of storytelling and eventually drew the eye of the Loremasters. Definitely nothing lying beneath the surface that I plan on revealing later 😉

    Eh i dont think that "taking better care of the solar system" wouldve helped that much, it was basically inevitable that the Orokin empire wouldve grown big enough that at some point there wouldnt be enough resources in the Solar system to sutain it. It wouldve delayed it yeah but not solved the problem forever.
    Now if Albrechts void shield hadnt been fucking obliterated looney toons style before falling into the portal they mightve been able to use the void without having to deal with this Eldritch abomination
    Also Rell basically not being mentioned ever again after Chains of Harrow is a crime

    With how the Void seems to give physical form to thoughts and feelings and how the Orokin knew that Names gave power to things i can see why it'd want to be known
    plus there's that line from that one NPC that goes something like "Big Al looked into the void and was scared shitless"
    Thus my take becomes: Wallie is the physical embodiment of the Fear born from the very far reaches of whatever one of the Orokin's most prized scientist could imagine.
    lemme put it this way: if HP Lovecraft made contact with the void/wallie prolly nothing big would've happened because he lacked the scientific knowledge to precisely imagine the innerworkings of an Eldritch being, plus the very nature of his work went against it.
    Lovecraft COULD feel fear and have the void make his fear manifest, but Entrati? he *knew* shit. He knew enough to precisely imagine how horrendously absurd and powerful this entity he encountered was and so THAT mental image is what the void/wallie used to come into existence: The culmination of Orokin knowledge through the lens of fear and immortalized in physical form. Infinity within boundaries, Non-existence given flesh contained by the very far extremes of logical perception and given purpose through the same means.
    Fear can only have a hold over you if you recognize its existence, and oh boy did Big Al recognize he done diddly did fucketh up that day.

    My favorite interpretation/theory about Wally's actions & behavior is actually Birb 3's, from the Cavia syndicate. I can't find text for it anywhere (or I haven't looked in the right places) but at one point I got a line of dialogue from them saying that they thought Wally was like a very big, powerful child that just wants to play with the other kids but doesn't know *how*.
    Given that Wally's first interaction (that we know of) with anyone in the origin system consisted of him mimicking Albrecht Entrati's appearance, smiling creepily at him, and then trying to follow him back out of the void and getting his finger(s) chopped off for his efforts, and the rest of his subsequent appearances have been him trying to interact with people and leave the void, I think Bird 3's theory isn't that far off from the truth.
    That on top of the cutscene at the end of the whispers in the walls update, with Wally expressing frustration about how the Tenno aren't upholding their end of their bargain with him, kinda makes me think Wally's intentions were innocent at first (or at least not outright malicious), and the constant rejection afterwards + losing his fingers didn't leave him with a great impression of the folks in the Origin system.

    Something really boggles my mind and gives me chills is the fact that the Infestation (the techno virus that can eat PLANETS if left unchecked) is canonically AFRAID of Wally
    During the days before the launch of the Whispers In The Walls update there was a new page in Warframe's official site that showed us a conversation between Nora Night and that one Corpus stuck on Deimos collecting samples that we have to defend on bounties. This Corpus knows Deimos's fauna like the back of his hand and he tells us that the Infestation looks afraid and is trying to not stand out, as well repeated knocking this Corpus guy keeps hearing in his dreams.

    It's an interesting poetic justice in how we excluded Rell for his ASD (coded or otherwise) to then be treated the same after the Zairman. Cause up until Chains of Harrow we, Tenno, had been more or less the victim. Learning how we were essentially bullying a kid because he's neurodivergent gave me a bit of emotional whiplash. Considering Rell wasn't the one who made the deal either but had to suffer alone because - once again - we excluded him makes me view the shit we have to go through now as a bit of a redemption for what we've done. The fact that Rell also protected us for years, sacrificing his body and mind to keep basically a God away is a hell of a debt to pay.
    Granted, none of this would've happened had the Orokin not been Orokining as they did, but that doesn't excuse being mean to Rell. I mean, we offered a light to the thing tormenting us now but we couldn't be nice to a kid with sensory issues. The irony that Rell was probably the only one of us who actually had a chance to take on The Indifference on a way more level playing field had he had the support is kinda funny tho..

    @unclaimedusername6608 3 дні тому

    There's actually a really simple explanation for Wally's missing digits coming back: we've seen a...handful...of them already.
    1 is on the Zariman, which the void angels are trying to get at. It's a "reiliquary drive". During the "Angels of the Zariman", we learn that it also was targeted by the Grineer since it bleeds Kuva.
    1 is on OUR railjack, powering it or at least allowing for void travel. If you go to the back of the ship, there's a large tomb-like thing that holds a massive finger.
    That's at least two of wally's fingers that have locations that we can actively observe. How he's getting them back is up for debate, but it's worth noting that both fingers are spots where the void is actively infringing on. The zariman's void angels and thrax means that the void is CONSTANTLY touching it. And since the other one is on our ship, and we are the new Rell, it means Wally has functionally free access to that finger as well.

    We know the locations of at least 2 fingers off the top of my head; one in the Zariman and one in our personal Railjack. So he has 100% definitely lost more than one.

It is hinted at with Cy and the reliquary drive, something is there but also not there.

    This explains so much, thank you! I didn't understand what the hell was going on when my character had a weird creepy clone showing up on the ship. Now I know its just the local eldritch horror trying to crack into our reality.

      Yup! Just your local unnerving void uncle checking in. Don't worry about the random voices.

    What if the last finger is inside the railjack cuz in the very back you can see one of his fingers it's been our faces this whole time
