Hutch's death still haunts me. His scream was gut-wrenching. I guess it was necessary to set the mood that even the most likeable character is not safe from the creature. Kudos to the director.
Im from philiphines its safe here no things like that locals is really friendly i sugggest that if u want to hike or discover some places important things is u need a experienced guide. 😊
I don’t think the shortcut would have been shorter the man with the twisted ankle has to walk even slower though the forest because the ground would be so uneven plus with the uneven ground that increases the chance of someone else twisting there ankle plus the path has a higher chance for the guys to find someone to can maybe help them
Yeah, I do a lot of hiking and the 'shortcuts' are usually unmaintained and terrible terrain. Even if you don't know why you're taking a hundred switchbacks, there is a reason they're there.
Yeah exactly. I saw nothing wrong with Luke's idea of just leaving Dom and Phil while he and Hutch go to the path to get help. Just leave enough food and water for them + something they could use to defend themselves in case they ever needed to. It was already a dangerous idea to go into the woods, even without the threat of bears, disease, dangerous plants and fungi, etc.
@@elijahtaylor3504nothing wrong with that, but I do agree that people shouldn't assume how-to-beaters are survival gods. Still, their research slow is to pre-emptively consider situations many of us hasn't thought of before, and all this research probably had made them better at survival over time.
Not really, most if not all of his solutions are based off seeing it beforehand, not if you were thrown in with no info. I literally remember him saying that the characters in TLOU made the best choice if it wasn't for the zombie hoard coming and said he would go in the woods instead of the house because the zombies might chase them even though the characters are under the assumption there's no zombies it'd be stupid to go into an open area and ignore shelter.
There were also many runes in there. Two of the runes that could be seen, Othala and Algiz, are runes of heritage and protection respectively. These can be made into a bind rune essentially meaning protection for one's self and family. Now, this of course would only work if they had knowledge of nordic paganism or were superstitious.
@@SuperBrahimos i would mark myself with a protection sigil of the relevant beliefs the moment i see symbols carved into beliefs. doesn't matter if it's even any sort of paganism or not! i'm not takin' those chances lmao
@@work-in_progress Technically, OP is right. The problem here is that a shortcut is only a shortcut if you're able-bodied for it. Routes are for the easiest path through, and anything else means you need to be beyond base level capable of walking
I thought about an alternate ending, it's the same but with a slight twist : The character makes it out of the forest then face the creature who can't follow him to insult it. He starts walking away as the god goes back to the darkness of the forest. The hero raises his head only to see that what he thought was the end of the forest is actually only a clearing inside of it (he's surrounded by trees). We hear the scream / laugh of the god as the character drops to his knees. He's trapped.
Another idea. The god just… steps out of the forest. The man stops laughing and just stands there, shocked and exhausted, as the God calmly and slowly walks up to him. It looms over the man, before slowly lowering its head, and eating the man’s head right as he begins to react. He was never trapped in the forest. He’s just… _handicapping_ himself.
I actually thought that god would follow him outside of the forest but turns out it was bound to that specific forest. I was actually hoping he kills that god for all the lives that were lost.
That “strange” symbol on the trees is called the Odal rune and it is the rune of farming, odal farmers being, as the name implies, farmers. It is an hilarious mistake that could have been avoided by a simple Google search but it is also really annoying at the same time. They should have used the other rune that was seen in the cabin. Is is the moose rose and is the strongest rune of protection.
4:44 As a swede, I can confirm that everyone have statues like that one in their home. It brings luck!

First step of learning it’s a legit ACTUAL Norse deity, is do nothing but shout that I’m under the protection of Odin, whilst sprinting southwest.

A few things Moder is actually a son of Loki so by invoking Odin's name would give moder pause as he fears the all father. Second most modern norse pagans don't say his name as its said to draw his attention and is likely to bring misfortune. I myself follow both Odin and Fenrir and wear a wolf's head talisman in honour of both of them and if I was in this situation and dealing with Moder at first glance would be invoking both names which should give him pause enough for me to escape as i know as a human i can't beat a Jotun son of loki

Here is what I would do differently 1)Reality checks: This creature uses hallucinations as a weapon . I would try to ground myself in reality by focusing on my surroundings. Look for familiar objects or people that I know to be real. Touch and feel objects around myself to reinforce their physical presence. 2)Engage your senses: Engaging your senses can help distract your mind from the hallucination. Listen to calming music, smell pleasant scents, or touch something with a different texture. These sensory inputs can help shift your attention away from the hallucination. 3) Distraction - When this creature uses hallucinations. It is vital one finds a way out of it using distractions . I would hold some coins in a glass bottle and when I suspect I am hallucinating I would drop the bottle the coins rattling may help bring me to my senses. 4) Preparation - These jokers should have carried emergency flares and a satellite communication device that are designed to last long in the wilderness and that can be charged by solar energy. He should also have video taped the entire thing. Now he stands the risk of being blamed for all their deaths . 5) Navigation : When his magnetic compass malfunctioned The sun's position at sunrise and sunset provides cardinal directions, and shadows can be used to track its movement. Moon navigation involves using the moon's position to determine direction and approximate time. Its phases offer clues about the sun's location, aiding in both daylight and nighttime navigation.

While modern technology has reduced reliance on celestial navigation, understanding these techniques remains valuable for emergencies or situations where technology is unavailable. So this whole thing could have been avoided in the first place 6) Defence - When those gangsters at the liquor shop were about to murder his friend . It baffles me on why this silly fellow didn't hurl bottles at them or play some trick on them .From what I can see these fellows are drug addicts. And drug addicts are very paranoid.

Something I'm not seeing alot mentioned here is that if this son of Loki exists then by extension so should the rest of the Norse pantheon. Wouldn't a quick prayer of protection from Odin, Tyr, Thor, etc. take care of this issue, especially since they all hate Loki's guts?
i don’t need a how to beat video on this bc I would never be stupid enough to do a long hike in an unfamiliar place without a guide and then leave a marked trail to go into a forest and then keep going when my compass stopped working and then keep going after seeing a freshly gutted animal on a tree and then not believing my friend saying they saw someone after seeing runes carved into trees, my friend praying at a headless statue, and him having a stab wound
Idk if i'm the only one, but I was sorta amazed near the end, when it stands on 2 legs, and rises up, showing its true size, and its beautiful. Looked like a giant Onyx statue praying. I couldnt help but stare at it.
I remember asking for a rewiew of this movie two months ago, thank you, I'm happy that new people will find out this movie like I found other movies on this channel
Walking back to civilization holding a bloody axe and missing 3 of the 4 people he went on the hike with doesn't bode well for him either lol "I can explain, so there was this gigantic moose-like creature with worshipers..."
i mean, its not like itd be that surprising. a bear fight would be totally reasonable. plus i doubt the army would be scared of some bitchass moose stuck in a single forest. agent orange that shit
The only "monsters" in TV that ever terrified me were the xenomorphs and the predator mostly because of it's cloaking/invisibility... But this God/monster takes the cake...
I'm pretty easily scared by horror, but the xenomorph is one of the monsters that never really scared me. The fact that it's in space makes it difficult to put myself in any characters shoes, so I'm watching them go against it instead of imagining myself in that situation.
@@MoeSzyslak20 yeah, I get it but to me it was all about the idea that someone might unintentionally bring a xenomorph egg back to earth, and once it hatches you can only imagine the chaos, they're smart, fast and have acid blood? Imagine if they crash landed on earth.
At the beginning of this video I was reminded of the C.S. Lewis quote (which I'm pretty sure comes from a proverb that predates him) "The longest way round is the shortest way home." In the context of Christianity is the idea that often we think we can take shortcuts and that it will be better for us than doing the longer, harder things, but God knows the dangers which lie on the shorter path that we don't. This movie seems to be a pretty good (albeit fictional) example and empirical picture of that proverb. While the proverb is dealing in more abstract ideas (not to cut corners in work, personal growth, etc.; it's not necessarily meant to be applied literally), this movie almost feels like it was made with that proverb in mind as a demonstration for it in a more literal sense. These guys likely thought that it would be a bad idea to take the longer path because of their friend's twisted ankle (relying on their own wisdom that seemed sensible enough, thinking a shorter trek would be better and safer), but they left the proven and tested longer path and entered into something much more dangerous because of it.
I would 100% be outta there back the way I came after seeing the markings in the tree. They're elder futhark runes, the first of which means estate/inheritance/ancestors, and the second two are runes of war and conflict. To me this suggests two sides fighting over possession of the area the markings are in (I haven't seen the rest of the video yet), but even seeing elder futhark runes carved into a tree shortly after seeing what is quite obviously a sacrificial offering, I'd be outta there. not even just cause it's creepy but cause I'm also Pagan and would leave as soon as I realised I was quite clearly trespassing on a site of religious importance.
Sweden again? First midsommar. Now the ritual. I was thinking of vacationing in Sweden but with these horror films based in the Scandinavian country, I'm reconsidering
I had a theory about the creature and why it has hands. My idea was that the reason it has hands is so it can open doors. The reason it needs to open doors is because it mainly feeds on humans. And thus would need to be intelligent and have a posable thumbs so it can open doors to get to hiding humans.
First you don’t know if it can kill the god-creature. Second you don’t know if you can ever escape this the god-creature. Third it doesn’t want to hurt/kill you and is instead offering you magic and miracles. I think it’s crazy not to make a deal with the god-creature and it doesn’t necessarily need to be the same deal the others made.
As someone who lives in Sweden, I can recommend coming to camp or hike here, there's tonnes of natural beauty and, more importantly, NO MONSTERS LIKE THAT!!!
This is one of my favorite movies just due to the uses of runes and the monsters appearance. It really gives a horror factor that a lot of other horror movies can’t.
Why not go out with a fight if u think ur gonna die, plus he doesn’t wanna slave away and do the same as the villagers that kidnap and sacrifice others for their own safety
17:37 That's not necessarily true. You can break ONE bone that will allow you the slip cuffs, put it isn't any of the fingers or thumb. It's the thumb metacarpal. It you can achieve a full break, you will be able to do it... But you will likely never get full use of your hand again. Go ahead, ask me how I know.
Wow....such amazing survival techniques! Oh horror movie idea I wish someone would do, since there are so many awesome 'how to beat horror movie' youtubers out there, this channel being one of them...to put it in a nutshell: Horror movie survivor youtuber in a horror movie....that way we could see all the amazing ways of survival first hand! That would be the most amazing thing ever! Also this video was fun to watch! I love mythology! It was so neat learning about the beast and the symbols!
I like the irony of my friend, he has bad paranoia and will hide In his room with a knife if someone he doesn’t know is outside but he is perfectly fine going into the woods with me alone where nobody can see or hear us.
If you pay close attention to the movie you can actually see Moder the monster in the background stalking them while they were walking before the attack scene
I'd do it but for the opposite reason. I got a strong will and would like to live forever. However, I'd only do that after being forced to submit by the creature itself. At that point diplomacy and submission seems like the best course of action. If I got hunted down then hey, they earned it. That doesn't mean I'm going to just be a blind sheep however. I'd also ask/challenge the beast/god creature and the followers. See what kind of agreements and deals can be made. Maybe I could convince them to have willing sacrifices. I bet plenty of people would want too. Hell, get an inmate on death row. They can go out with a chance of "The gods might favor you in the afterlife" or something. They'd at least get a party first. I'd also be able to argue against those trying to stop it outright. Another cult would do it regardless. At least this way it's more "organized". With better odds of willing sacrificies. Or otherwise unwilling after capture when wars happen. etc. Backroom deals can be made to ensure there's a supply. After all, people in Africa get worked to death in mines. Companies take their water. Wagner kills civies, Blackwater gets away with shooting children. Why wouldn't it be possible when such things already happen? Imagine the plot this movie could have gotten into.

i don’t need a how to beat video on this bc I would never be stupid enough to do a long hike in an unfamiliar place without a guide and then leave a marked trail to go into a forest and then keep going when my compass stopped working and then keep going after seeing a freshly gutted animal on a tree and then not believing my friend saying they saw someone after seeing runes carved into trees, my friend praying at a headless statue, and him having a stab wound
7:53 "and hurch has wet his pants"
Bro had the worst night out of all of them
Idk if i'm the only one, but I was sorta amazed near the end, when it stands on 2 legs, and rises up, showing its true size, and its beautiful. Looked like a giant Onyx statue praying. I couldnt help but stare at it.
Love this movie. Love the lore they used, love the cinematography, acting, and know I'm gonna love your video.
Movie name?
I remember asking for a rewiew of this movie two months ago, thank you, I'm happy that new people will find out this movie like I found other movies on this channel
Walking back to civilization holding a bloody axe and missing 3 of the 4 people he went on the hike with doesn't bode well for him either lol
"I can explain, so there was this gigantic moose-like creature with worshipers..."
i mean, its not like itd be that surprising. a bear fight would be totally reasonable. plus i doubt the army would be scared of some bitchass moose stuck in a single forest. agent orange that shit
The only "monsters" in TV that ever terrified me were the xenomorphs and the predator mostly because of it's cloaking/invisibility... But this God/monster takes the cake...
Same for me but any other monsters no way
@@theninjamaster5794 yea, true. All other monsters are just there for the sake of it, not really scary.
Crazy I was just watching videos about predators and Xenomorphs
I'm pretty easily scared by horror, but the xenomorph is one of the monsters that never really scared me. The fact that it's in space makes it difficult to put myself in any characters shoes, so I'm watching them go against it instead of imagining myself in that situation.
@@MoeSzyslak20 yeah, I get it but to me it was all about the idea that someone might unintentionally bring a xenomorph egg back to earth, and once it hatches you can only imagine the chaos, they're smart, fast and have acid blood? Imagine if they crash landed on earth.
At the beginning of this video I was reminded of the C.S. Lewis quote (which I'm pretty sure comes from a proverb that predates him) "The longest way round is the shortest way home." In the context of Christianity is the idea that often we think we can take shortcuts and that it will be better for us than doing the longer, harder things, but God knows the dangers which lie on the shorter path that we don't.
This movie seems to be a pretty good (albeit fictional) example and empirical picture of that proverb. While the proverb is dealing in more abstract ideas (not to cut corners in work, personal growth, etc.; it's not necessarily meant to be applied literally), this movie almost feels like it was made with that proverb in mind as a demonstration for it in a more literal sense. These guys likely thought that it would be a bad idea to take the longer path because of their friend's twisted ankle (relying on their own wisdom that seemed sensible enough, thinking a shorter trek would be better and safer), but they left the proven and tested longer path and entered into something much more dangerous because of it.
"if you were trapped in the deadly mountains of Sweden with a horrifying monster what would you do"
I would probably die
Can't wait for the "How to beat being trapped in a submersible" video
bro 😭😭😭
"You can ignore so many red flags you can ignore before you go colorblind." No truer words have ever been spoken. I will use this!
Definitely one of the better horror movies netflix has.
Gotcha. I'm crossing Sweden off my bucket list.
Fr😂
I would 100% be outta there back the way I came after seeing the markings in the tree. They're elder futhark runes, the first of which means estate/inheritance/ancestors, and the second two are runes of war and conflict. To me this suggests two sides fighting over possession of the area the markings are in (I haven't seen the rest of the video yet), but even seeing elder futhark runes carved into a tree shortly after seeing what is quite obviously a sacrificial offering, I'd be outta there. not even just cause it's creepy but cause I'm also Pagan and would leave as soon as I realised I was quite clearly trespassing on a site of religious importance.
Sweden again?
First midsommar. Now the ritual.
I was thinking of vacationing in Sweden but with these horror films based in the Scandinavian country, I'm reconsidering
I had a theory about the creature and why it has hands. My idea was that the reason it has hands is so it can open doors. The reason it needs to open doors is because it mainly feeds on humans. And thus would need to be intelligent and have a posable thumbs so it can open doors to get to hiding humans.
As a bulgarian here, I am Luke and can confirm this is a regular swedish weekend. 10/10 on trip advisor.
I've been waiting for this one omg
Same 😊
I can't blame Luke for hide at the beginning. I enjoyed the video. Good work on the video.
19:55 that punch was personal
FINALLY YOU DID RITUAL! Thanks so much for doing one of my fav horror movies! have a damn good day!
First you don’t know if it can kill the god-creature. Second you don’t know if you can ever escape this the god-creature. Third it doesn’t want to hurt/kill you and is instead offering you magic and miracles. I think it’s crazy not to make a deal with the god-creature and it doesn’t necessarily need to be the same deal the others made.
its the son of Loki so it'd just trick you
@@MichaelFreiberg-qy8bt Loki is known to help humans with no tricks played on them.
How to beat is my new favorite UA-cam channel
22:43 Never deviate from the path unless you want to get lost
As a Swede, I can confirm if you go hiking in the forests, you will be attacked by a temu wendigo.
I’m honestly glad that you saw and reviewed this movie. It’s one of my all time favorite creature features.
You have low standards or have watched only 2 movies ever
um hello? Make a cross out of wood - saves that whole struggle.
This happened to me 3 weeks ago this would have been so helpful
The fact that you spend so much time doing this is amazing
As someone who lives in Sweden, I can recommend coming to camp or hike here, there's tonnes of natural beauty and, more importantly, NO MONSTERS LIKE THAT!!!
Yeah sorry that's actually a Australian house pet that must have been snuggled there. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience
@@YEE465 no problem, just remember to take it home with you!! :D
bros trying to lure me in to sacrifice me ☠
You may never know. HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahaha
We're all monsters. You included.
one of the best horror movie monster designs
man got balls of steel (19:53)
This is one of my favorite movies just due to the uses of runes and the monsters appearance. It really gives a horror factor that a lot of other horror movies can’t.
So a god doesn't kill the character and forces them to submit, and the first thought is "hit with axe and risk getting killed"?
Yes.
It's a chad thing.
You wouldn't understand.
Why not go out with a fight if u think ur gonna die, plus he doesn’t wanna slave away and do the same as the villagers that kidnap and sacrifice others for their own safety
@@ThatHoeLovesMe but according to what we heard the god wouldn't kill him but instead grant him a wish maybe...like ANY wish, imagine... XD
@@fumomofumosarum5893 Nothing is free
The OG is back!
I love your videos keep up the good work I am about to watch it all keep it up man
Man the design for this cryptid was 10/10
The god probably having the song "bow down bitches" playing in his head over and over
The legend has returned🎉❤
The name may be How To Beat but it will always be Cinema Summary to me!😭❤️😁
It always contain spoilers so be sure to watch the movies first before going to hie videos
The best part of the movie is when he leaves the forest and roars back at the creature. SO good
could have just cancelled the trip when he twisted his leg get him to a hospital
This is honestly one of mine amd my partner's favorite movies. We watch this all the time!
Was a surprisingly cool movie
The monsters design is so unique, cool and creepy
I love watching how to beat because it helps me beat my depression :>

Isn’t that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?
@@Leroyscaand its a fancy word for saying I need help
17:37 That's not necessarily true. You can break ONE bone that will allow you the slip cuffs, put it isn't any of the fingers or thumb. It's the thumb metacarpal. It you can achieve a full break, you will be able to do it... But you will likely never get full use of your hand again. Go ahead, ask me how I know.
Wow....such amazing survival techniques!
Oh horror movie idea I wish someone would do, since there are so many awesome 'how to beat horror movie' youtubers out there, this channel being one of them...to put it in a nutshell:
Horror movie survivor youtuber in a horror movie....that way we could see all the amazing ways of survival first hand! That would be the most amazing thing ever!
Also this video was fun to watch! I love mythology! It was so neat learning about the beast and the symbols!
I like the irony of my friend, he has bad paranoia and will hide In his room with a knife if someone he doesn’t know is outside but he is perfectly fine going into the woods with me alone where nobody can see or hear us.
If you pay close attention to the movie you can actually see Moder the monster in the background stalking them while they were walking before the attack scene
could u give a timestamp for me please? im literally blind and cant see it 🥲
our boy is back!
Yeah
One of the best horror movies 💯
How did you know that I just watched this movie, the timing is so perfect
I love that the valuable lesson is to never take a trip to Sweden. 😂

As a swede, this is the average day in out lives
😅😅😅
Just finished watching it film was so good I had to watch this after I’ve watched it a dozen times
My way is to not have friends and stay home
Les go new upload
on this one I don't think you gave us any way to actually beat it and keep everyone alive, but still a good breakdown
your new intro kinda fire tho
19:52 had me burst out laughing
as a swedish person, i can confirm that the creature is just my grandma
I would honestly just join the cult bc I have a weak will and I would not believe that I could escape
I appreciate your honesty. There's a reason why cults can be as big as they are and here we are.
I'd do it but for the opposite reason. I got a strong will and would like to live forever. However, I'd only do that after being forced to submit by the creature itself. At that point diplomacy and submission seems like the best course of action. If I got hunted down then hey, they earned it.
That doesn't mean I'm going to just be a blind sheep however. I'd also ask/challenge the beast/god creature and the followers. See what kind of agreements and deals can be made. Maybe I could convince them to have willing sacrifices. I bet plenty of people would want too. Hell, get an inmate on death row. They can go out with a chance of "The gods might favor you in the afterlife" or something. They'd at least get a party first.
I'd also be able to argue against those trying to stop it outright. Another cult would do it regardless. At least this way it's more "organized". With better odds of willing sacrificies. Or otherwise unwilling after capture when wars happen. etc. Backroom deals can be made to ensure there's a supply. After all, people in Africa get worked to death in mines. Companies take their water. Wagner kills civies, Blackwater gets away with shooting children. Why wouldn't it be possible when such things already happen?
Imagine the plot this movie could have gotten into.
@@Veldazandtea I like the way you think.
The ritual is my favourite movie you finally did it
Boy Vs Girl Sleepover:
Girl: Let summon a demon
Girl 2: that will be fun :)
At the boy Sleepover:
Boy: Comrade, we have taken heavy casuaties, retreat!
Boy 2: Who keep summoning these things?!
Accurate
This title is so good.
How to beat the Norse Gods
Step 1: Call the Dad in the woods.
Step 2: win
i think there isn't any signal for that
I've watched this movie so many times I love it so much
How to be the Norse God: Follow the damn path and dont take shortcuts.
Edit: "How to *beat*" lol
Thanks for the tip, I've always wanted to be a Norse God

Why didn't you just edit the word itself
On the path to godhood I go.
