Okay, so the most plausible theory we have for now is sort of like this: - Your player character is pretty unrelated to the general plot of the game. You are just a no-name mercenary. Now, some have theorized that the player character is actually one of the security guys from the island, because you can actually see the face of your player character when you die for good in this game, and he looks very similar to one of the faces from the keycards, although I believe it is a coincidence. - The chrome lady (apparently it's not a guy) is also an unnamed party. For now, we don't really know her purpose, although she is not alone, considering she had a couple of armed people with her in that one cutscene. As for her purpose on the island, we don't know yet. But she definitely knows a lot about the island and the artifacts, to the point that she tried to get into the cube at the end to save herself from the dimension shift. - The armed guy in the military suit with a revolver is Timmy, and the shotgun guy is his dad, Eric Leblanc, who was our protagonist in the original forest. Right at the end of the Forest, when we go into the perspective of teenage/young adult Timmy, we can actually see a map "Site 2", which has a strong resemlance to the map of the island of the Sons of the Forest. Which leads us to believe that Timmy has been looking for ways to cure himself from the mutation that's been plaguing him after he's been revived by the artifact in the first game. And of course, his dad has helped him. Judging by the news outlet where Puffcorp has managed to outbid Sahara (the corporation doing the experiments and researching artifacts in the first game), it is natural that Timmy and Eric would also try to investigate Site 2, because Sahara definitely wanted to connect their research from Site 1. - We've all seen several documents about a dimensional shift, that the cube is the safe place, and that it happens every 8 cycles, which probably means 8 months, considering that 31 weeks passed after Puffton family went missing. Hence why you, as a player, arrive just in time for another cycle. Now, the cycle itself seems to be automatic, Timmy has managed to calculate it. So there isn't anything or anyone that can actually "force" this cycle through artificial means. Now, we've seen two more artifacts displayed in the documents, the third being the cube. One of the other two must be the ones causing the shift. But we've yet to discover them, despite one of the photos of the artifacts showing that it's above ground. It could have been relocated somewhere else on the island, in one of the facilities. Considering that there are still quite a few caves which are so shallow and dead ends (especially in the middle of the snowy mountain), it's possible that the other two artifacts might be discovered in that area. - As for the actual dimensional shift, it happens basically in an instant. We've seen the video feed of rich people just enjoying themselves, until they suddenly started transforming into mutants. Or more precisely, they've been replaced by some creatures from some other dimension. As for the range of the shift, it might not be the whole island. Virginia mutated herself, but she's kept her sentience mostly, and hasn't mutated to the degree of other people on the island. While the chrome lady was just outside of the cube, and she mutated horribly. The cube might be like the epicenter of the shift, but I don't think the cube itself causes the shift, but instead that some other artifact is the trigger. But it seems that things closer to the cube (outside of it, naturally) mutate more hirribly, as there are more dangerous mutants closer to the cube and the chrome lady looking the way she is after the shift. And keep in mind, we see actual humans as well all around the island. Miners, workers, regular people. They must have been on the island when the first shift happened, but weren't affected by it. It is also possible they arrived later, but I doubt it. Why would they continue to work after a literal calamity has happened? Some of them even appear to have committed suicide, there are a few miners with bloody drills in their hands, with their heads pierced. So the artifact maybe even has specific conditions as to who will be affected by the shift even inside the range. - As for the actual purpose of the artifacts and the shift, I don't necessarily think it's time travel, as others have theorized. It's literally just traveling to other dimensions. The futuristic city doesn't look like anything on earth, it could be a whole other planet. Just look at the two planets/moons above the city. It's beyond doubt that the nature of the artifacts is alien. The cube might even work as a sort of teleporting device, but the one that is malfunctioning for some reason, causing side effects like the dimensional shift around it, causing the calamity we've witnessed, creating all those mutants. - As for the reason for the behavior of Timmy and Virginia inside the cube, it could be because they are mutants. It's possible that both of them have been "cured" while in the cube during the shift, with Timmy being basically separated from other "being" inside of him. And Virginia fainting must have been that she is cured as well. Now, there's an interesting theory that Virginia was supposed to lose her extra arm and leg after the shift, which could be the reason why she stumbles, as she was so used to keeping balance with three legs and arms, but there is not a model for it in the game currently. This might be the case, but her getting into the helicopter with three arms and legs looks pretty natural, the way she uses them. So that might not be the case. - And the last piece of the puzzle is Barbara Puffton. Now she's a person we know basically nothing about, and she could very well be the main culprit. This is basically the information I've managed to gather, but clearly the story needs a lot more information and at least some teasers. I'm curious to hear what others think about the story. But it might be too early to theorize like this. The story of the original Forest has been reworked as well, things have been changed. The current direction of SotF could continue, or the devs might decide on something else, who knows. But I'm pretty excited to see where the story will go.
i think if you’re in the cube you don’t get mutated, if you’re underground it’s a full mutation- and if you’re on land where the moonlight is, you won’t be fully mutated- perhaps just mentally, which could explain the cannibal behaviour, the cycles refer to the full moon, so every 8 months the island mutates? this is such an interesting story, im excited to see where they go with it
A quality of life update I would like to see is a journal with all of the emails. Because you might find them out of order and not understand the story, and going back to the locations to check on them can be really annoying and inconvenient. If we can keep all of the email files to go back on it would be soooo good.
This. One of the easy to access bunkers could have some sort of a computer that compiles all the emails you collect. Considering we don't have a portable laptop. We could maybe get a sort of a file which we can browse like the survival book.
That list of pairs "symbol - number" looked important. And never has become useful. But it would be good to have it saved in journal, should it ever be needed.
Sneeze tip (cause I watched your stream after the fact.): When you feel the sneeze start to come on, look into your light and it will tense your sinuses and bring on the sneeze. Your sinuses are connected to your ocular cavities. (I do this all the time and, while not 100% effective, it almost always works.) Hope that helps. Can't wait to play SOTF!!!
Soo stoked, was refreshing the feed for the last hour, hoping it would show up before I had to sleep. Big fan of all the content. I'm hooked on this series for sure.
If you're just a casual player, the story of this game is so confusing Like.. it doesn't explain things enough for it to make sense lol But after looking it up it feels like you're a side character in someone elses story who actually has a mission and a goal on the island other than to survive
Okay, so, the way I see the story is this: The luxury bunkers and golf course were just a cover to attract investors to fund the research into the artifacts found on the island. My theory on those artifacts is that they had an effect similar to the Markers from Dead Space. Causing grotesque mutations, or slowly driving people insane. My guess is; something was activated, and many were mutated, turning into the demons/mutants. When this happened, many were killed by the mutants and a few groups escaped with their lives, but over time, surviving on the island with the artifacts warped their minds. Making them the cannibals we see in the game. You may be asking why Virginia seems only partially mutated, then. And that is a good question, but we see from one of the emails that you're safe from the effects when you're inside the cube. It seems possible that Virginia was near the cube When she began to mutants, and someone, Likely her mother or father, pushed her in before she could fully mutate. But it wasn't without significant changes. And she was left with an extra arm and leg, as so far, only purely visual changes are known, but there could be more. I can't personally explore to find out everything that I would like to, and explaining more on a single comment doesn't seem right. So I'll leave others to do the investigating. I just wanted to get a few general ideas for the story down just in case I was right.
This series is so goood and I'm looking forward for the chaotic multiplayer one. ps. I actually play your videos when I'm studying. Hearing your screams is making me focus better than lofi music thats why I'm looking forward to your future videos 😂😂 Keep having fun playing games 😂
"INSANE" as in unfinished and nonconclusive? Yeah, agreed. Game will be out of Early access in about 6-8 months so they've got time to change things around 🙂 Stoked to see where this game will take us
Holy sheet, your arrival at the island when Virginia's family went missing for 31 weeks. 31 weeks times 7 days is 217 days. The moon completes a rotation around the earth in 27 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes or 27.32 days, (from Wikipedia). You take 217 days divided by the moon's rotation around the Earth. (27.32) 217/27.32 = 7.9428... The moon had already completed 7.9428th of its rotation. So, on the 8th rotation of the moon, you need to get into the cube to prevent the mutation. Which aligns with the story! The chromo guy fails to get into the cube and thus he gets mutated.
i really hope they add like more emails and backstory into the smaller caves. it would be a reason to go into them because then youd figure more stuff out. i feel like the story isnt big enough for the game. ofc its early access and the game isnt finished, but i think they could add so much more and fill in the missing parts and plot holes.
Just a tip Insym, if you eat pills, health mix, or anything that regens your health, you can stay inside the I menu and it'll go up. Also, I pauses the game, you don't have to worry about them killing you. Which makes holding I for the quick menu useless in combat lol I enjoy watching you play this game as much as I enjoy playing it. ALSO YOU GOTTA BREAK OPEN THE LAPTOPS FOR MORE CIRCUITS
I just finished watching your play through of the sequel. Gosh you are so good in survival game, love all your decisions making insym. It’s great to see another content aside from phasmo lol
Perhaps Barbara was the one who used the Golden Cube in the first place which caused all of the mutations in the first place and that's why she cannot be found. She's in a different dimension?
Here is my theory based on the incompiete Ending and Story so far: The Young Male you're encountering a few times is Tim LeBlanc. He is on this island to investigate and the older Male you encounter and who ultimately comes to pick you up with a helicopter is Eric LeBlanc, the protagonist from The Forest. I think we will meet them throughout the game a lot more often and they will add a lot more context for the story once their dialogue is actually in the game. The Artifacts that are mentioned in emails a bunch of times must be relics from some kind of ancient alien civilization that used to build these things underground on these islands. THe Cube is some kind of Portal or at least a Window to their homeworld, which you can obviously see. I think the Chrome Jacket guy is some kind of Scientist or Higher-Up employee of Sahara (the Company that built the Labs under the Island of the first Forest game and a competitor to Puff Corp, the Company of the Pufftons, you're supposed to rescue in Sons of the Forest) who wants to take whatever Puff Corp found on this Island for Sahara, but was ultimately stuck on the Island as well. Why everyone fucking killed each other in these Luxury Complexes i don#t know tho.
Imagine making an AI like that as ONE PERSON! Shoutout to Jon Kreuzer for making some of the most living NPC's I have ever seen. Naturally, we must also praise every other person who is working on the project - it seems most, if not all, are working alone on an entire aspect of the game, which must make for a *lot* of work, considering the scope and sheer impressiveness of this game.
Timmy in the forest had that tattoo, this is Timmy, the hero is Timmy. Who is also a mutant. So he has empathy for the billionaires daughter who is a higher functioning mutant and she probably senses his similarity.
Unity uses Voxel Based Terrain which is easier to develop then free-form Terrain since it gives you Granular Control and so if you go up 1 it does what you saw with the upwards spot if they had Granular Control over it which Unity doesn't have and that is why games like The Forest, Sons of the Forest But 7 Days to Die has the problem that if you build a certain way you can see the Terrain through whatever you are building with
Katana may not stun but it excels at just slicing everything to literal pieces..couple swings here, couple swings there and the enemies have no heads or arms
I feel like those random guy is just our team member, we dont see them because of game balance, but all this time they were following us, exploring with us
It is to be said that the chrome “guy” (who is actually a girl), is Megan from the first The Forest game. The little girl you fight to try to save Timmy, and now Megan is fighting for the Sahara company
This might be outlandish, but considering the game...ehhh...or this just sounds like an Agatha Christie story. My theory on Barbara Puffton is she knew about the will citing Virginia as the sole inheritor. She possibly threatened/tricked Virginia into leaving the bunker, hoping she'd die out there, which means Edward Puffton has to change his will naming his wife as beneficiary. I'm guessing she knew a little about the cube, and tried to seek it out when the mutation began, but was too late and turned into the baby-yeeting blobby. Virginia, being further from the cube, was mutated, but not as much as Sluggy, Fingers, Twinsies, and Scuttler. Like I said, just a theory. Anyway, I loved this playthrough, and look forward to seeing much more.
1:07:46 that was like in the firs game when Timmy fall to the ground shaking and i think you are Timmy and that old guy from erlier is the guy from the first game because he said "get down son" and you as timmy want to finde out more about what happend to you
7:20 yes you did get scammed, I hate how buggy this game launched. I have multiple shotguns now where I can see the attachment on the shotgun but there is nothing attached when I equip it. Also if I try to dismantle it then I have to right click on the shotgun about 3-5 times to see the shotgun with the attachment, once I try to dismantle it I have get the shotgun without dismantling and another shotgun without attachments, essentially duplicating shotguns on the crafting grid. I am facing the same issue on the pistol. I lost the silencer without getting to use it cause it just vanished into thin air. Then there is the map glitching. I have had 2 different friends needing to go through the same cave cause they fell through the map during the cave exit animation, the current work around we found is place a tent by the exit save game and exit the cave, if you fall into the ground exit and rejoin lobby your last saved file has you in the cave right by the exit so you try again. So far I have only seen it happen twice in a row once.
This is not the ending of the game, it's just the early access ending for right this moment. They're doing content updates every 2 weeks. Next thursday is the next one. The game probably won't fully release until 2025 but will be constantly updated
@@poogchomp i mean then you wouldn’t have gotten an achievement for completing the story line if it wasn’t the ending lol 2 of them actually but yk if you say so
I think they will be expanded uponn in future updates, adding more context and hopefully voiced dialogues that explain more of this stuff. Right now the Ending and Story is more than incomplete.
The old dude is eric from the last game he was the protagonist and timmy is the child of eric which he saves in the last game but timmy got mutated in the last game , so the theory is by entering the cub his mutation is cured
So Timmy is the guy with you in the Cube because of his scar on his face and then they old man is his dad because when we first saw timmy the old guy said "get down son" and then he got shot. Therfore old guy eric and guy in cube with you is timmy
So. Katana. It can be a one hit kill on basically anything. Just aim for limb points. Itll just insta cut them off lol. Its soooo good. Also range seems to be determined by FoV but in the opposite direction of first game. First game gave more range with higher fov and this one shortens it with higher fov. I know. It sounds stupid but its what i found out so far. Also you can cook rotten meat and it will become cooked meat. Lmfao. I hope they fix that but i guess they cant since you cant drop meat for some reason.
I think that door in 40:20 are opened by golden armour i think, i mean when i watched xqc he needed to glitch that doors cuz he didnt know how to open it xD, idk if you knew that the armour was key
That room has to be Virgina's room and the thing is though it could be Revenge Companies do stuff without getting Caught the people that bought it want it to be a getaway place but the other one wanted it to be for something else
Okay, so the most plausible theory we have for now is sort of like this:
- Your player character is pretty unrelated to the general plot of the game. You are just a no-name mercenary. Now, some have theorized that the player character is actually one of the security guys from the island, because you can actually see the face of your player character when you die for good in this game, and he looks very similar to one of the faces from the keycards, although I believe it is a coincidence.
- The chrome lady (apparently it's not a guy) is also an unnamed party. For now, we don't really know her purpose, although she is not alone, considering she had a couple of armed people with her in that one cutscene. As for her purpose on the island, we don't know yet. But she definitely knows a lot about the island and the artifacts, to the point that she tried to get into the cube at the end to save herself from the dimension shift.
- The armed guy in the military suit with a revolver is Timmy, and the shotgun guy is his dad, Eric Leblanc, who was our protagonist in the original forest. Right at the end of the Forest, when we go into the perspective of teenage/young adult Timmy, we can actually see a map "Site 2", which has a strong resemlance to the map of the island of the Sons of the Forest. Which leads us to believe that Timmy has been looking for ways to cure himself from the mutation that's been plaguing him after he's been revived by the artifact in the first game. And of course, his dad has helped him. Judging by the news outlet where Puffcorp has managed to outbid Sahara (the corporation doing the experiments and researching artifacts in the first game), it is natural that Timmy and Eric would also try to investigate Site 2, because Sahara definitely wanted to connect their research from Site 1.
- We've all seen several documents about a dimensional shift, that the cube is the safe place, and that it happens every 8 cycles, which probably means 8 months, considering that 31 weeks passed after Puffton family went missing. Hence why you, as a player, arrive just in time for another cycle. Now, the cycle itself seems to be automatic, Timmy has managed to calculate it. So there isn't anything or anyone that can actually "force" this cycle through artificial means. Now, we've seen two more artifacts displayed in the documents, the third being the cube. One of the other two must be the ones causing the shift. But we've yet to discover them, despite one of the photos of the artifacts showing that it's above ground. It could have been relocated somewhere else on the island, in one of the facilities. Considering that there are still quite a few caves which are so shallow and dead ends (especially in the middle of the snowy mountain), it's possible that the other two artifacts might be discovered in that area.
- As for the actual dimensional shift, it happens basically in an instant. We've seen the video feed of rich people just enjoying themselves, until they suddenly started transforming into mutants. Or more precisely, they've been replaced by some creatures from some other dimension. As for the range of the shift, it might not be the whole island. Virginia mutated herself, but she's kept her sentience mostly, and hasn't mutated to the degree of other people on the island. While the chrome lady was just outside of the cube, and she mutated horribly. The cube might be like the epicenter of the shift, but I don't think the cube itself causes the shift, but instead that some other artifact is the trigger. But it seems that things closer to the cube (outside of it, naturally) mutate more hirribly, as there are more dangerous mutants closer to the cube and the chrome lady looking the way she is after the shift.

It is also possible they arrived later, but I doubt it. Why would they continue to work after a literal calamity has happened? Some of them even appear to have committed suicide, there are a few miners with bloody drills in their hands, with their heads pierced. So the artifact maybe even has specific conditions as to who will be affected by the shift even inside the range.
- As for the actual purpose of the artifacts and the shift, I don't necessarily think it's time travel, as others have theorized. It's literally just traveling to other dimensions. The futuristic city doesn't look like anything on earth, it could be a whole other planet. Just look at the two planets/moons above the city. It's beyond doubt that the nature of the artifacts is alien. The cube might even work as a sort of teleporting device, but the one that is malfunctioning for some reason, causing side effects like the dimensional shift around it, causing the calamity we've witnessed, creating all those mutants.

You’re a Great inspirations! I got into Sons of forest also since this series looks very fun and spooky, keep up the Great Content :D
Your series on this game was by far the best everyone else really didn’t play this game too well
I literally watched a commenter on twitch tell him in a previous episode when he had the exact same epiphany but in a question. That was hilarious 😂
Holy sheet, your arrival at the island when Virginia's family went missing for 31 weeks. 31 weeks times 7 days is 217 days.
The moon completes a rotation around the earth in 27 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes or 27.32 days, (from Wikipedia).
You take 217 days divided by the moon's rotation around the Earth. (27.32)
217/27.32 = 7.9428...
The moon had already completed 7.9428th of its rotation.
So, on the 8th rotation of the moon, you need to get into the cube to prevent the mutation. Which aligns with the story!

Just finished SotF an hour ago. I think the big monster at the end was the silver guy that got locked out.
Perhaps Barbara was the one who used the Golden Cube in the first place which caused all of the mutations in the first place and that's why she cannot be found. She's in a different dimension?
casually skinning a cannibal while an RNG-looking mutant is taking his best shot at you was *chef's kiss*
I think chrome guy was a massive blob at the end. I think the cube kept you safe from the effects of the mutation? Edit: Just heard you read that xD
Here is my theory based on the incompiete Ending and Story so far:
The Young Male you're encountering a few times is Tim LeBlanc. He is on this island to investigate and the older Male you encounter and who ultimately comes to pick you up with a helicopter is Eric LeBlanc, the protagonist from The Forest.

I finally get to watch the ending! Goddamit Insym for making me wait so long I was sooo disappointed when you separated this part from the last video
This is gonna be a amazing vid again best UA-camr ❤️
the build up and let down of the sleep scene has me on the edge of my seat LMAO
Watched the whole playthrough, oh my god what a ride it was. :D
I'll be waiting for incoming updates and videos!
Timmy in the forest had that tattoo, this is Timmy, the hero is Timmy. Who is also a mutant. So he has empathy for the billionaires daughter who is a higher functioning mutant and she probably senses his similarity.
Fantastic playthrough. Really enjoyed watching this. Nice one Sym.☺👍
Unity uses Voxel Based Terrain which is easier to develop then free-form Terrain since it gives you Granular Control and so if you go up 1 it does what you saw with the upwards spot if they had Granular Control over it which Unity doesn't have and that is why games like The Forest, Sons of the Forest But 7 Days to Die has the problem that if you build a certain way you can see the Terrain through whatever you are building with
Thank you Insym! I really enjoyed this series with you. Can’t wait for more game play outside of the main story 🎉
Damn, the ending episode came out on my birthday, hell yeah
I enjoy that even at the end of the game, Kelvin still hasn't wiped the blood from his ears.
This man will not let go of his log sleds. Listen Insym log sleds are out, Kelvins are in. All the kids are using him.
*51:04* lol "The shotgun will obviously be stronger than the crucifix",
If the Apostles had shotguns there would be no crucifix
Katana may not stun but it excels at just slicing everything to literal pieces..couple swings here, couple swings there and the enemies have no heads or arms
I feel like those random guy is just our team member, we dont see them because of game balance, but all this time they were following us, exploring with us
26:22 every parent when their crying baby seemed to be asleep.
It is to be said that the chrome “guy” (who is actually a girl), is Megan from the first The Forest game. The little girl you fight to try to save Timmy, and now Megan is fighting for the Sahara company
kinda wish they held off putting the ending in the game until they had finished early access, the story is a mess and literally doesnt make sense
i havnt finished the ep so maybe its explained, but i think you wake up in the night to cannibals because your energy is so high
I wonder what they are going to do with the update! Honestly I hope they add more story with each major update off the start!
So in the elevator it was you,kalvin,vegina and timmy
Lol at the ones in chat declaring that you play as Timmy like a fact when they're literally just dead wrong.
me, screaming at the end: THAT’S TIMMY AND ERIC!!!
This might be outlandish, but considering the game...ehhh...or this just sounds like an Agatha Christie story. My theory on Barbara Puffton is she knew about the will citing Virginia as the sole inheritor. She possibly threatened/tricked Virginia into leaving the bunker, hoping she'd die out there, which means Edward Puffton has to change his will naming his wife as beneficiary. I'm guessing she knew a little about the cube, and tried to seek it out when the mutation began, but was too late and turned into the baby-yeeting blobby.
Virginia, being further from the cube, was mutated, but not as much as Sluggy, Fingers, Twinsies, and Scuttler.
Like I said, just a theory.
Anyway, I loved this playthrough, and look forward to seeing much more.
20:30 the game rlly be like "you cannot sleep when enemies are nearby"
The artifacts are magic. It mutated anyone It revived.
1:07:46 that was like in the firs game when Timmy fall to the ground shaking and i think you are Timmy and that old guy from erlier is the guy from the first game because he said "get down son" and you as timmy want to finde out more about what happend to you
The yt and his stream Looks the same he need no Edits, he is the Edit himself😂
The old man is the protagonist of the forest and the guy who multiplied is timmy from the forest
People outside the cube will mutate but it has a range.
the story is fun because you have to find it your self
7:20 yes you did get scammed, I hate how buggy this game launched. I have multiple shotguns now where I can see the attachment on the shotgun but there is nothing attached when I equip it. Also if I try to dismantle it then I have to right click on the shotgun about 3-5 times to see the shotgun with the attachment, once I try to dismantle it I have get the shotgun without dismantling and another shotgun without attachments, essentially duplicating shotguns on the crafting grid.
I am facing the same issue on the pistol. I lost the silencer without getting to use it cause it just vanished into thin air. Then there is the map glitching. I have had 2 different friends needing to go through the same cave cause they fell through the map during the cave exit animation, the current work around we found is place a tent by the exit save game and exit the cave, if you fall into the ground exit and rejoin lobby your last saved file has you in the cave right by the exit so you try again. So far I have only seen it happen twice in a row once.
yes, pls do continue playing.
And that's why they can't give you more items before the shovel, just imagine what weapons are awaiting you there 🤩🤩🤩
I have so many questions man i like hope they eventually make a 3rd explaining what the hell i saw at the end it’s crazy
This is not the ending of the game, it's just the early access ending for right this moment. They're doing content updates every 2 weeks. Next thursday is the next one. The game probably won't fully release until 2025 but will be constantly updated
@@poogchomp Yeah, this is most likely just a placeholder for the story.
@@poogchomp i mean then you wouldn’t have gotten an achievement for completing the story line if it wasn’t the ending lol 2 of them actually but yk if you say so
Can't believe Timmy and Eric were only in a couple cutscenes. Still, best game ever!
I think they will be expanded uponn in future updates, adding more context and hopefully voiced dialogues that explain more of this stuff. Right now the Ending and Story is more than incomplete.
Why were they there in first place?
If you look at the window of the door there is a rock cave in and that’s why you can’t open them
got me on the edge of my seat with these releases
You can hit radios and computers with any melee weapon and it will give you circuit boards for tech armor or time bombs!
feels like e rushed ending
yeah its far from finished. They just knew they couldnt delay the game more, so they rushed a temporary ending and released in early access.
I don’t think we’re supposed to figure the whole thing out. Gotta have something to uncover when the full game comes out.
do a playthrough with only the crucifix OML you did everything but flip them OVER! it was so aggravating not seeing you flip them over
the cross never defended against the underground people that was the flashlight xD
This has got to be the place-holder ending until the full game comes out. That's the only way I can understand this.
The old dude is eric from the last game he was the protagonist and timmy is the child of eric which he saves in the last game but timmy got mutated in the last game , so the theory is by entering the cub his mutation is cured
So Timmy is the guy with you in the Cube because of his scar on his face and then they old man is his dad because when we first saw timmy the old guy said "get down son" and then he got shot. Therfore old guy eric and guy in cube with you is timmy
Golden armor adds a yellow bar to your meter
It's good to see others critique the shovel wall.
"the knees are the weak point"
.. I think thats a reference to a different fleshy monster game ;)
Did we lost an episode or what ? Like.. where did u get the Shotgun... the Crossbow etc ? I didn't understand...
You can put a tracker on Virginia for an achievement
The guy who like duplicates with the man is timmy you can tell by the sker above his eye
The katana is one of the best weapons in the original forest. It's fast and deals allot of damage. EDIT: this is from someone that plays on normal.
I have so many questions! Thanks for this series!
Dude the baby's still have their umbilical cords
That moment in lava cave looks like doom 3
What happens if you go back to the Cube now after you stay on the island?
Attaching the Crucifix to the shoty will add burn dmg
hi the first vid of the mortuary assistant was flagged so its unwatchable now :( is it possible to get it back?
So. Katana. It can be a one hit kill on basically anything. Just aim for limb points. Itll just insta cut them off lol. Its soooo good.
Also range seems to be determined by FoV but in the opposite direction of first game. First game gave more range with higher fov and this one shortens it with higher fov. I know. It sounds stupid but its what i found out so far.
Also you can cook rotten meat and it will become cooked meat. Lmfao. I hope they fix that but i guess they cant since you cant drop meat for some reason.
W Vids keep grinding
can you camp out and build bases in the bunkers?
I think that door in 40:20 are opened by golden armour i think, i mean when i watched xqc he needed to glitch that doors cuz he didnt know how to open it xD, idk if you knew that the armour was key
46:30 nevermind chat told you there
Weren't there like 4 other doors that required a key card?
55:23 Who needs the power of god if you have to power of a shotgun.
Handling it like a proper american.
Just because there is a Helipad doesn't mean there will be one on one of the Platforms
That room has to be Virgina's room and the thing is though it could be Revenge Companies do stuff without getting Caught the people that bought it want it to be a getaway place but the other one wanted it to be for something else
wait wut?
you had just found shovel in the last video and now suddenly you have access card?
you forgot to upload some parts I assume :(
Wait Wait Wait, have I missed a video? you now have a Shotgun!? and a Keycard??? Nvm just found the previous video, it’s not in this playlist xD
