    There are other events that can trigger an instant awakening:
    When an endgame crises happens, the xenophile fallen empire can awaken to protect the galaxy. This can also happen during a war in heaven, so it's possible for 3 fallen empires to awaken
    If you blow up a holy world with a colossus then the spiritualist fallen empire will send you a very threatening message and instantly awaken

      Because of that you can theoretically have 5 at once (Mats/'philes awaken and rival the 'phobes, this starts the war in heaven wake-up timer, the contingency spawn and wake up the 'philes/Mats and Carers, the 'phobes wake up, you crack the Spirit world. If the war in heaven starts before the contingency wakes up a guardian, they'll stay asleep. A rarer way for a 5 way wakeup is 'phobes and spirits being rivals [~1.67%] and both mats and 'philes becoming guardians [10%] and carers getting woken [100% if contingency w/ 33% to be berserker])
      For some extra fun you can open the L-gates to get the tempest and watch the first and (hopefully) last galactic free for all.

So now I have TWO AE's to defend against plus the Crisis to fight entirely by myself.

      One of my almost end game games was pretty much lost this way. i was the strongest AI empire in the galaxy (and basically could hold against both awakened empires pretty easily) and decided to role play as drones that are interested in researching only and pretty much not get involved. so naturally i went neutral. after they kept crashing a few fleets in my choke points i decided its time to put an end to their bullshit and charge. went a bit streched but was killed one of them and forced them out of the war. meanwhile my federation ally was having troubles with the other AE so i decided to send my fleet to help them. Problem is fucking contingency spawned and not only did it spawned during a 2 front war against 2 pretty strong opponents its spawned RIGHT IN MY FUCKING RING WORLD CORE WORLDS. and i didn t have the fire power to take them down with just one fleets (since only 1 fleet wasa vailable the rest were pretty far. and pretty much got shrekt and lost.

    According to the Stellaris Wiki, a normal empire needs to have above 50k, that the awakening event can happen.
    You have to outlaw AI now, if you are a subject under the spiritualists, the materialists no longer demand that. This is not updated in the wiki.
    You could have also mentioned the Guardians of the Galaxy mechanics.
    In the War in Heaven, you can also pick the option to be completely independent, not even in the League of Non-Alligned Nations. That means, you are not in the war, but will potentially get attacked afterwards from the winning side.

    To be honest I hoped for more in-depth look at their mechanics. For example you didn't even mentioned about decadency (and related to that mechanics). Another thing not even mentioned (though this one is rather minor thing - still, I feel it should be mentioned if you plan to talk about Awakened Empires) is reaction of Spiritual Fallen Empire on destruction of one of their Holy Planets. One more thing that was not mentioned is their ability to wake up with arrival of Crisis and how they may see themselfs as protectors of the galaxy (and how Xenophobe will never do such thing). But please, don't get me wrong - really nice video, and I watched it with pleassure.

    This video gave me and idea for an end game Crisis. The Pact: Millennia ago, the Fallen Empires where locked in a terrible war with each other. After centuries of stalemate they agreed to a pact. They would all return to their core systems, and if any of them ever left they would all immediately go to war again. Now with the new powers growing new opportunities arise and the fragile peace is broken. ( All FE awakens at the same time, and start an all out war against anyone who wont become a vassal.) Could be amazing!

    I appreciate the Dethklok opening. It was one of my 2 favourite Dethklok songs too!
    Anyway, what happened during my first War in Heaven was that the empire of my vassals and mine completely surrounded both Fallen Empires, and I did not yet have the fleet power to hold them back. So if I were to pick a side, the other FE would immediately crush my empire. Likewise, if I would oppose both of them they'd both just crush me. So I had to stay out of it completely.
    However, this did cause a small problem: I could not end the War in Heaven event without completely destroying every party involved. You see, after I dealt with the end-game crisis that spawned in the middle of the War in Heaven, I tried eliminating one of the FEs to end the war. That did not work, because upon destroying the FE their side's leadership was just passed on to one of their vassals. So I destroyed all the vassals. Nope, that didn't work either. Sure, the actual war was over, but the War in Heaven event itself was still running. And considering that every empire but mine picked a side in the war, this meant that I literally could not end the event, and thus win the game, until literally every empire but mine was destroyed. That took a while.

    Materialist AE vs Spiritualist AE presents an interesting dynamic for spiritualist empires (and gestalts). Basically, submitting to the Spiritualists makes you become F Spiritualist and authoritarian... and the materialists make you ban AI and and pay some science... a spiritualist who's already authoritarian will have no problem joining the Spiritualists, but an individualistic spiritualist empire may not want to change ethics and may in fact find it better to side with the materialists if they don't mind the loss of science... Gestalts, especially MEs may, ironically, be more tempted to join the spiritualist AE since the ethics don't change, and it essentially means no loss besides independence... So what would make sense thematically... doesn't actually make sense thematically, because most spiritualists will join the Materialist AE, and a lot of gestalts, including ME's would benefit more going with the spiritualist AE...
    This is a really interesting dynamic... and one that doesn't occur for Xenophile AE vs Xenophobe AE... food for the thought...

    Awakened empires rebuild planets with their special buildings; if you are able to, take down a fallen empire and leave them 1 planet. This makes it easy to decide which systems you will give them once they awaken so they can build them up for you with tech you just don't get. From there it's a game of containment.
