I was fucking SHOOK when I realized Isayah was one of the statues in the King's Passage, I literally never noticed that before. Put in a solid 300-odd hours into this game, and I still find the occasional surprise.
Isayah was based on a PC from the RPG campaign played by the earliest members of F&H community. It took place in the proto dungeon of fear and hunger, or the very early version of it.
I really like the idea of a selfish person finding in themselves to do something big for the sake of others, masked by selfishness. The best of intentions that were mercilessly shot down by the overwhelming pitch-black darkness that are the dungeons.
First time I saw Isayah was in the layout where he's standing just to the right of the four new god statues. Going in blind, I confidently predicted he would turn out to be the mysterious fifth member of the fellowship I had read about. I was super wrong, but I'm glad his positioning may have foreshadowed something after all
He must have been in the dungeons for some time or maybe a long time for him to discover maps of valuable treasures that means he delved deep enough in the dungeons for him to know about mahabre and descend down.
@@frapollo94 what if he is the Sulfur god that seeks the crow to accend. If you Follower Wormgirls official storry theory Video she said that Allmer carved out his inperfections uppon accension wich would explain why the Sulfur god appeared later on.
I like Betel. There's almost no information about him, his ring can give infinite mind restoration, and I'm pretty sure the book of enlightenment depicts him
I had never considered it but what Isayah does is very similar to what the successful gods do. In this way, they influence you towards a better path and give you the tools or strength to complete your goals on your own. Fear and Hunger, does show and sometimes tells you directly that when gods directly interfere with mortals it makes things progressively worse the more force they use, so Isayah representing this opposite approach is a very interesting idea.
Ever since i first played i noticed one of the statues really looked like Isayah, i googled around and no one talked about it. Glad to see i wasnt the only one
Ive actually never asked the new gods about isayah which just says how good he is at hiding himself (then again I never did cahara S ending so I guess I just viewed him as an ironmask dispensor lol)
Somewhat similar to Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, DD also has a character based on him. The leper king, thus the mask. It is said that he got leprosy from the common folk since he cared so much for them.
Every character seems to have a mentor that compels them to the throne; Isayah could be the mentor of Endless... when he ascended the plague was his method of control, but when he was replaced on the throne by Nilvan (or others first) the plague was no longer relevant and only THEN did he seek a cure, to END his Endless
Given this information I think that what likely happened was that Isayah was once a god but his power faded away over the years due to his followers losing faith in him. That’s what’s causing him to slowly die in the dungeons. I think that’s why he’s relatively weak as NPC when you fight him (not like Chambara, Valteil etc). He’s probably only still alive because he has cult followers. Maybe he was awaiting for someone worthy of finding the treasure for him so he could steal the crown-AND with the power of the crown he could gain his worshippers back. Maybe he wasn’t smart enough to find the treasure himself with his maps-or maybe he needed Cahara to use the cube of the depths to get to Mahabre because he cannot (similarly to how Nas’hrah can’t go to Mahabre without access to the cube even though he was once a god). Perhaps Nas’hrah has more power in game than Isayah because he has the yellow mages as followers, he knows magic and he gets a lot of his power from Grogoroth! Thank you for this beautiful theory Frapollo! 🫶🏻
Honestly solid theory but I think the idea of him just going to the dungeon due to the plague and then just living there(and probably scavenging the clothes of a previous new god is just way cooler
Interesting point about Isayah being named Ausar in files: the importance of Osiris comes mostly from things after he died, not before. Horus, who has parallels to Jesus, was born from Osiris after he died and his wife used magic to revive him. Osiris is the judge of dead and afterlife because he himself had died. If Isayah really is a New God, could his death somehow elevate him from a god that didn't matter to a bigger deal somehow? And could he be somehow related to the creation of another god? Maybe IF all 4 S-endings are canon, new god Isayah is the one who brings the girl through the gauntlet, honoring both the name of Isayah by bringing the god who will actually save humanity, and the name Osiris by "fathering" a god after his death.
Really cool theory! When I saw the name Ausar I immediately had to think of Ausar the Vile from the Infinity Blade games, he‘s the character you play as for the most part. As far as I remember he was a cruel king that was defeated and robbed of his memories, now a new man trying to discover who he is and what he did. He also uses a false name, Siris, tho in this case because he forgor his real one. He is also a deathless which is sort of comparable to a new god, an artificial semi-immortal human. Though it could be complete coincidence that the two share the same name, infinity blade isn‘t a super well-known franchise as far as I know (except for the sword from those games that apparently got added to fortnite).
At the end of the day it's speculation, and each one can have their theories, so even if others don't agree with my vision it's still fine, we can agree to disagree
such theory is actually impressive thought, I rarely think of such stuff and only think about connection between f&H 1 and 2/Termina. so hearing something like this is actually interesting and Intriguing. You cooked a great vid as usual
noice, always wondered why Isayah of all people had the maps to a treasure in Maha'bre of all places, and why he didn't go take the treasure for himself or even try. Maybe because he never needed to....
This is a great theory though I think the purpose of the Iron mask might be to mask his degraded face as we know he's already lost his arm to the plague and we never see his unmasked face. I think it might be worth looking at Chumbrah in Termina as he's able to leave the hall of the gods and basically go on a stroll. he's still in the hall of the new gods so his relevance has faded yet he still has enough followers to be summoned to talk with us and we can still find his poetry it might be like the writings of our predecessors for example Shakespeare but his work is as relevant today as ever. I wonder if that's why the god of torment can Rome free-ish still? I bring this up as a similar line of reasoning may apply to why Isaiah is able to still wander the world or are you only taken to the hall of the new gods if your reign ends while in Mhabre? that theory of mine aside I love your work as always frap stay safe sir.
will we get a theory on Nilvan being the priestess. I find the torturer words interesting as he says that he thinks she took him to have her way with him. knowing how much of a sadist he he's likely thinking Selene is torturing him but she could be having 'her way with him.' in a more romantic way. Always thought Nilvan Conceived the girl in a dream of sorts with Le'guard before he got sent to the dungeon. She could have been manipulating him from the very beginning sowing prophesies of him being a prophesied god to help him along with his dreams motivating him to go further to end up in the dungeon nd thare when he is broken she conceives his child the very act being tainted by torment fear & Hunger the very traits Nilvan wishes her child to embody.
I feel like isayah is a god of concealment or like secrets instead and just like the opposite of conceal he slowly "reveal" the secrets that he "concealed" just like the treasures and slowly trying to unravel the truth about the plague
Seeing you walk around the dungeon as Isayah at the beginning shot me back to Legend of Grimrock where you could unlock and play as Toorum. Makes me wish you could actually do it.
Frap, I think you need to link up with the author for some more advertising and future games lol. I literally breathe this because of you, any of the other people I follow through Fear and Hunger are a direct result of you. love you. thank you for new content. I'm still testing all I want to do in fear and hunger, and the game is hard but your guides have made it easier in a way I still feel like a lucky intelligent badass. thank you sir.
Me: oh well I've been playing for a while now, I'm quite knowledgeable about this game Also me throughout the video: WAIT ISAYAH IS ONE OF THE STATUES OF MAHABRE??? WAIT THAT FIGURINE IS MOVING THE MAP'S TREASURE'S CHEST??? WAIT THAT SMALL GUY BECOMES THE NAMELESS FIGURINE???? guess I've played with my eyes closed this whole time, grazie Frap per il bellissimo content
And this is why you are my favourite F&H content creator. You really have soul my man. Altough, do you think you could provide some answers regarding the Red Man? Who was he and why is destined to suffer for so long?
Empathy has a dark side too so this could be interesting. It helps you understand how much someone is suffering. This is not just useful to those who revel in helping others. It can help one understand how to better hurt others as well. Empathy is a tool. It is compassion that seeks to help others.
I really enjoy some of the theoretical vids about F&H, this one is pretty decent. I wonder if you gonna keep that in the future and maybe make a video about any other game NPCs that inhabit the dungeon, such as lizardmen, trotur or body snatcher? pretty sad that there so few videos about them. seriously I feel like trotur and body snatcher could've have something in common like their leather coat and grotesque looking and this is already could've be a theory haha. the funger side of community need all of that stuff man, just keep doing it! gl in the future!
Hey Frapollo, sorry it's not related to the video, but I just wanted to say thanks for being such a great and dedicated youtuber. You made my getting into the game a lot better and more fun. Keep on keeping on!
Frapollo is great, his accent mixed with his cadence and personality make him so so truly unique. A guy in love with a story, and his passion rubs off on us. It was really nice watching him help Cdawg lol
Frappalo, something you got to understand too is that not everyone is a game theorist, Fear and Hunger JUST got on the radar, though since you've been the main communicator for F&H because you've spent more time with it, this video is going to help us out in figuring out the lore of this. Also, do consider that cutesy anime girls may invite an audience that may not understand how to puzzle together some certain stories, or see things a certain way, if you want you can call on MatPat from Game Theory and discuss the lore once's he's got his own grasp on the game. But in any case, thanks for the video Frappalo, have a good day.
The name of the new god is connected with his soul (tormented one is chambara, enlightened one is valteil etc etc), and I was wondering what the new god would be like if he had the soul from part 2 (latent, blank, solitary, decrepit etc etc) , so connecting to the information that isayah was a simple guy who wanted money i think that isayah have latent soul 🤔
Hey fra, ho scoperto da recentemente il tuo canale, poiché da appassionato di berserk non potevo non essere fan di questo gioco. Solo oggi mi sono accorto che sei italiano, e volevo dirti che fa molto piacere avere un italiano come uno dei migliori esponenti internazionali di fear and hunger su youtube. Sei simpatico, competente e professionale, complimenti continua così!
I like this Isaya theory of him being new god looking to cure the plague. Gives his character much needed closure. Now I won’t feel bad killing him for his mask as outlander.
Yooo let's gooooooo, my boy is finally getting some love. Isayah has one of, if not the coolest design in the game, he looks so badass. Edit: the theory was awesome, even if the evidence is questionable at best. How did Isayah get to Mahabre without the cube of the depths? Is the golden statue near the Golden Temple even him or just a guy that happens to look like him? Nevertheless, Isayah is a pretty mysterious guy, anything could be true about him. Great work Frapollo, thank you for the interesting theory
Cube requirement is always ambiguous, cause rondon knights are somehow able to enter in there too (they may have temporarily taken the cube, but it's still kinda stretched)
I kinda wish that the dev could revisit fear and hunger 1 and add more stuff or change some stuff lorewise so that some things that have hidden implications but no actual lore behind them could be completed
I think the point of lore is to have hidden implications, if it was even more blatant giving the 1 best vision then I think there wouldn't be any fun in analyzing it
When you mentioned Isayah trying to regain the energy to stand up again, I thought of a scenario where Cahara gets the Tormented soul for some reason, learns the Devour skill, and eats Isayah, only for Isayah to get back up as a malformed flesh blob and continue his research like he was only inconvenienced.
Yeah it would be pretty cool if people made more theories about kinda minor and mysterious things or characters like Isayah but at the same time I kinda get why they're not a popular topic since there's just literally almost no info about them and that ends up making these theories more like fanfiction than like actual theories. Regardless I still eat this shit up and you legit come to really good conclusions like in the pocketcat one i really like that one even tho miro probably didnt think about any of this
@@top10kokichi i think if anything, a theory is where this kind of stories can be born, cause otherwise they wouldn't be theories and would be the canon
@@frapollo94 Yeah I suppose that's true but for most games and shows and shit it's usually more like putting two and two seemingly unrelated or unclear things together with a little original story mixed in there. And it's kinda the same with this video too i suppose but the quantity of facts from the game and original story is reversed which is cool. I kinda like the mostly vauge world of funger because it allows for fans to come up with their own ideas and miro doesnt even have to bother coming up with stuff he just lays down the basics in a way
It's strange that Isayah and other human NPCs have lesser souls instead of an special soul like the main characters. For other characters I though that their souls weren't strong enough to have an special soul or maybe the soul recieves a name depending on the new gods that rule mahabre and their soul type didn't correspond to the actual new gods. But if Isayah is a new gos himself, why he only has a lesser soul? Maybe his soul was very weak? His soul became weaker with time or he became weaker after new gods took his place? Maybe he lost the thing that made his soul special? I wish we had more knowledge on how souls work on Fear and Hunger.
Yeah my bet is that the trait of his soul got thinner and thinner with time up to the point of disappearing in the current time, which also makes sense considering he doesn't possess any incredible power
I could be wrong but sounds like fear and hungers version of the leper King but of course a more darker version he's smart and he wants to cure the plague he knows his own greed but wants to save the people while he himself is afflicted. Granted my knowledge is very limited when it comes to the leper king.
Hey, Frapollo, I have a question about Termina agility stacking. In F&H we could only get agility from white angel soul. In Termina there are many agility sources and we can stack multiple of the same accessory. So if we have 3 small thing's amulet, engraved god of fear and hunger, Tanaka's +1 Agility, and Marcoh's start with footwork giving +2 agility all marks up to 33 agility and we only need 16 to get a second turn. So could this possibly get 3 or 4 turns? and would fast stance add +6 agility if it gave base agility characters a second turn? What if we wear armor that reduces agility but activate fast stance, will it give a second turn? I would answer these myself but I do not know how to access Termina's code or console commands to give items.
The funny thing is, Isayah had a possible cure at his fingertips. The Lady of Moon offers to fully restore your party's health in exchange for The Girl. Not just Mind and HP, but lost limbs and status effects. Who's to say that Rher's servant couldn't do the same for Isayah, if he sacrificed The Girl?
god theres no mention anywhere of isayah and the fact he gas a new god statue, not even on the wiki! i just noticed this after my third plsythrough to get le'garde endings and was super curious about it
Out of curiosity, what happens what happens when you ask the gods about Ausar? I've never had the chance to play this game, but I have watched a few playthroughs and this character always reminds me of a ghost, someone who's passed and hasn't even realised it. Especially when no one else seems to be aware of his presence.
While getting Cahara S ending, i decided to try to escape from his fight for the third map, cuz i had no arms. So basically, you cant run away, because he will just talk again, but will appear on the balcony. I managed to kill him by poisoning, but it isnt the most interesting thing. Basically, his body was on that bridge between library and a house on the left. When i tried to get there through library, his body disappeared (so basically no map 3 and so S ending). I wonder if its just a bug with his body disappering, or does it actually mean something
I think Isayah lying on the ground and not "returning" to the Hall of the New Gods doesn't mean too much. After you beat Chanbara and Valteil, you can find their physical bodies lying around in present Mahabre.
The point is they were still trying to achieve their starting goal, but in the recent times are finally realizing they were fooled by becoming new gods. Isayah is going through the same process when you defeat him
Isayah been reaal quiet when this dropped
He's clearly hiding something
Yeah bc hes dead. I killed him for the iron mask
Isayah: (lying on the ground dead, maskless and maidenless)

he helps the player by being a necessary sacrifice.
Isayah was based on a PC from the RPG campaign played by the earliest members of F&H community.

Maybe him appearing in the early demos is a reference to him saying he's been there a long time
Shame that people kill his character 99% of the time for free maps and the iron mask.
Hmmm, if my assumption of Trotur being a Decrepit soul, would Isayah be a Shadowed soul; or Tainted?
Awesome video! Thanks for the content and effort on this amazing narrative. ❤

Also, do consider that cutesy anime girls may invite an audience that may not understand how to puzzle together some certain stories, or see things a certain way, if you want you can call on MatPat from Game Theory and discuss the lore once's he's got his own grasp on the game.
But in any case, thanks for the video Frappalo, have a good day.
I just wanted to provoke the community to investigate more even on side characters
with that way of explaining everything and those edits you can make f&h movies o.O! loved it
Man...this was a good one Frappy. Keep it up. Love your efforts budday.
Thanks!
Your videos are always so well done! You're honestly underrated!!
Thanks!
God damn bro! You are like S rank in video making this is amazing!!
The name of the new god is connected with his soul (tormented one is chambara, enlightened one is valteil etc etc), and I was wondering what the new god would be like if he had the soul from part 2 (latent, blank, solitary, decrepit etc etc) , so connecting to the information that isayah was a simple guy who wanted money i think that isayah have latent soul 🤔
These type of videos are incredible Frapollo
You really nailed the serious tone of this video! Do you have plans to make any other theory videos?
Hell yeah!
Babe wake up Frapollo posted
I adore your vids. It's so hard to find good funger content!
Wow a frapollo94 theory video i cant wait to watch it
a video on isayah this is hype thank you frap
Thanks to you for the support!
Hey fra, ho scoperto da recentemente il tuo canale, poiché da appassionato di berserk non potevo non essere fan di questo gioco. Solo oggi mi sono accorto che sei italiano, e volevo dirti che fa molto piacere avere un italiano come uno dei migliori esponenti internazionali di fear and hunger su youtube. Sei simpatico, competente e professionale, complimenti continua così!
Grazie bro!
I love your funger videos and they're always entertaining definitely the best funger youtuber out there
Overall amazing editing and tone, grats frap!
Thanks!
I like this Isaya theory of him being new god looking to cure the plague. Gives his character much needed closure. Now I won’t feel bad killing him for his mask as outlander.
Not even as Mercenary
Yooo let's gooooooo, my boy is finally getting some love. Isayah has one of, if not the coolest design in the game, he looks so badass.
Edit: the theory was awesome, even if the evidence is questionable at best. How did Isayah get to Mahabre without the cube of the depths? Is the golden statue near the Golden Temple even him or just a guy that happens to look like him? Nevertheless, Isayah is a pretty mysterious guy, anything could be true about him. Great work Frapollo, thank you for the interesting theory
Cube requirement is always ambiguous, cause rondon knights are somehow able to enter in there too (they may have temporarily taken the cube, but it's still kinda stretched)
I kinda wish that the dev could revisit fear and hunger 1 and add more stuff or change some stuff lorewise so that some things that have hidden implications but no actual lore behind them could be completed
I think the point of lore is to have hidden implications, if it was even more blatant giving the 1 best vision then I think there wouldn't be any fun in analyzing it
When you mentioned Isayah trying to regain the energy to stand up again, I thought of a scenario where Cahara gets the Tormented soul for some reason, learns the Devour skill, and eats Isayah, only for Isayah to get back up as a malformed flesh blob and continue his research like he was only inconvenienced.
Sir, you're fantasizing about vore again
@@BBoy4040 Upon closer inspection, I can see how people can interpret it that way. That being said, I am too lazy to change anything.
This theory is not here because it is necessarily true.
It is here because it is fun.
Hell yeah! For sure I had fun in thinking and producing it, and hope you had fun listening to it!
Yeah it would be pretty cool if people made more theories about kinda minor and mysterious things or characters like Isayah but at the same time I kinda get why they're not a popular topic since there's just literally almost no info about them and that ends up making these theories more like fanfiction than like actual theories. Regardless I still eat this shit up and you legit come to really good conclusions like in the pocketcat one i really like that one even tho miro probably didnt think about any of this
@@top10kokichi i think if anything, a theory is where this kind of stories can be born, cause otherwise they wouldn't be theories and would be the canon
@@frapollo94 Yeah I suppose that's true but for most games and shows and shit it's usually more like putting two and two seemingly unrelated or unclear things together with a little original story mixed in there. And it's kinda the same with this video too i suppose but the quantity of facts from the game and original story is reversed which is cool. I kinda like the mostly vauge world of funger because it allows for fans to come up with their own ideas and miro doesnt even have to bother coming up with stuff he just lays down the basics in a way
It's strange that Isayah and other human NPCs have lesser souls instead of an special soul like the main characters. For other characters I though that their souls weren't strong enough to have an special soul or maybe the soul recieves a name depending on the new gods that rule mahabre and their soul type didn't correspond to the actual new gods. But if Isayah is a new gos himself, why he only has a lesser soul? Maybe his soul was very weak? His soul became weaker with time or he became weaker after new gods took his place? Maybe he lost the thing that made his soul special? I wish we had more knowledge on how souls work on Fear and Hunger.
Yeah my bet is that the trait of his soul got thinner and thinner with time up to the point of disappearing in the current time, which also makes sense considering he doesn't possess any incredible power
Huh very interesting, I would be super down 5 more lore vids like this!!
Maybe there's another one in production...
@@frapollo94 Pog, very pog indeed!!
Ngl I was caught off guard not seeing the normal intro this time around
Yeah this is a more edgy video
Thank you finally somebody talking about Isayah
your fan from Yemen♥️
Isayah: Haha, you got the cheese touch.
whether you like him or not
Isayah is definitely one of the NPCs of all time
He definitely is
I could be wrong but sounds like fear and hungers version of the leper King but of course a more darker version he's smart and he wants to cure the plague he knows his own greed but wants to save the people while he himself is afflicted.
Granted my knowledge is very limited when it comes to the leper king.
Hey, Frapollo, I have a question about Termina agility stacking. In F&H we could only get agility from white angel soul. In Termina there are many agility sources and we can stack multiple of the same accessory. So if we have 3 small thing's amulet, engraved god of fear and hunger, Tanaka's +1 Agility, and Marcoh's start with footwork giving +2 agility all marks up to 33 agility and we only need 16 to get a second turn. So could this possibly get 3 or 4 turns? and would fast stance add +6 agility if it gave base agility characters a second turn? What if we wear armor that reduces agility but activate fast stance, will it give a second turn? I would answer these myself but I do not know how to access Termina's code or console commands to give items.
The plugin only allows you to have 1 extra turn, independently by how much agility
I JUST finished you Olivia maso mode playthrough and a minute later this drops
The funny thing is, Isayah had a possible cure at his fingertips. The Lady of Moon offers to fully restore your party's health in exchange for The Girl. Not just Mind and HP, but lost limbs and status effects.
Who's to say that Rher's servant couldn't do the same for Isayah, if he sacrificed The Girl?
god theres no mention anywhere of isayah and the fact he gas a new god statue, not even on the wiki! i just noticed this after my third plsythrough to get le'garde endings and was super curious about it
Yay new video! I don’t have to cycle through old ones anymore. (For at least 13 minutes)
Lol
Theories but based in logic.maybe we will see him again....although it is going to take a long time for the 3rd game.
Out of curiosity, what happens what happens when you ask the gods about Ausar?
I've never had the chance to play this game, but I have watched a few playthroughs and this character always reminds me of a ghost, someone who's passed and hasn't even realised it. Especially when no one else seems to be aware of his presence.
Unfortunately nothing, but I think it's just because we aren't supposed to know that name
@@frapollo94 I was kind of hoping to get an Easter egg but I can't say I'm surprised it's a bit too obvious that people would take a peek and try it
im still waiting for miro and frapollo to make a prequel of f&h, i mean i love all the lore that you create from this game!
Wow, that would be a cool idea
0:57 THE PLAG
Oof I was sure that was the pronunciation
The dog eat dog merchant is the god of empathy bro, I swear!
While getting Cahara S ending, i decided to try to escape from his fight for the third map, cuz i had no arms. So basically, you cant run away, because he will just talk again, but will appear on the balcony. I managed to kill him by poisoning, but it isnt the most interesting thing. Basically, his body was on that bridge between library and a house on the left. When i tried to get there through library, his body disappeared (so basically no map 3 and so S ending). I wonder if its just a bug with his body disappering, or does it actually mean something
Okay, this is my headcanon from now on!
I'm all for more of this!
i love so much this video is literally at least the 10th time i watch it ^^
Whould you make a video about what is known about f&h characters in Termina? That could be really cool
Once I move to termina that may be a good idea!
Another great video! I cant believe I’m here this early!
i wonder what asking the new gods about Ausar brings up
I think Isayah lying on the ground and not "returning" to the Hall of the New Gods doesn't mean too much. After you beat Chanbara and Valteil, you can find their physical bodies lying around in present Mahabre.
The point is they were still trying to achieve their starting goal, but in the recent times are finally realizing they were fooled by becoming new gods. Isayah is going through the same process when you defeat him
Can u make a video explaining nashara's story as well?
