Pretty sure Klaww is a mutated lurker given massive amounts of Dark eco and precursor technology. By his appearance you can see his armor is precursor material, possibly from stolen and shifted pieces given to claw. However he has major weakpoints and exposure due to not having all his body covered. I like to think this is from his fight with Fallen Warrior who managed to break off chunks of his armor, and upon close inspection Klawws armor is battle damaged a bit. Also, he has tubes all around his back and chest. I like to think those are eco tubes pumping darl eco into his body, which increases his size and darkens his fur color. His arm cannon is most likely a precursor weapon, given to him by Gol and Maia. Also in a cut cutscene, Gol mentions klaww is "still in his cage". This means unlike the other lurkers, Klaww is extremely aggressive and cant be controlled as easily, possibly due to all the dark eco affecting his mind
I really hope you keep making jak and daxter videos. Yours and vivi's are my favorite entertainment on youtube. Yours especially, i can put these videos on while i work and let my mind drift to a different world. Thanks for the great content
@@PrinceOfDogs Thank you ❤️ I'll definitely keep making them, but I'm focused on my writing mainly for the foreseeable, so making these videos is just something I do every now and then - but I'll definitely keep doing it 😁
So red and yellow are a duality. Like how green and dark are a duality. Poor blue, just being electricity. Not getting any cool deeper philosophy with another eco.
I see praise for the writing on these videos. While it’s good, it’s also stuff I hear all the time. H P Lovecraft is my favorite author. What really hooks me is how brilliant you are. The theory crafting is sublime. This is exactly the detail and brain storming I crave for the lore of this world. Thank you so much. You’re a genius.
Thsnk you very much, that's some serious praise! I really appreciate it <3 I write and narrate horror on myother channel, Pith and Petrichor. I'll be doing weird fiction/cosmic horror as time goes on, maybe you'll enjoy it! Hope to see you there!
@@derrinmaloney1039 that’s a good idea, you got a solid voice for it. Just make sure you got a quality mic, maybe I will check it out.
The idea of green eco surging through the water to keep oxygen levels regulated is probably the best thing I’ve heard to explain this stuff.
Thinking about it. The proboscis on the precursor robots could easily fit on the eco vents. So it’s the eco vents that supply the robots. The temple is a blue eco generator. It would provide blue eco power for the precursor robots on the entire planet.
I missed the Bionicle series.
Love these videos man! Left a like on every single one. Please don't stop making them :D Hope to see the next one soon!
Thank you 🙏I'm definitely gonna stay making them in between my writing projects on my other channel, stay tuned for more 😁
@@derrinmaloney1039 Looking forward to it :)
it will play with mouse and keyboard or gamepad?
Gamepad worked fine for me! I used a wired xbox 360 controller :)
ok, i had a wired xbox series x controller, a blue one, don't worry i'll get bionicle heroes on pc from ebay until june 15th after my internet bills paid.
@@td64youtubechannel80 I recommend getting it from here! biomediaproject.com/bmp/play/retail-games/bionicle-heroes/
When are you making another!!!
When do monster like to party the most? April Ghoul's Day.
So happy to see another one! Great work as always!
Thank you! 😁
And...*HWIP* AHHHHHH

Please cover rest of the series too (Well besides lost frontier lol)
I'll be covering the major areas of Jak 2 and 3 in the future yes :) The Lost Frontier doesn't quite have the same room for continuing the series so I likely won't go near it, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it if there is any cool theorising to be done!
As a kid for some reason Axon’s boss fight scared me.
You gotta make more of these, I LOVED this ^^
Thank you 😁 My horror-focused stuff will be on my other channel Pith and Petrichor, new video actually being uploaded as we speak ^^ The lore series will continue in the near future too!
This guy's out here putting to words the entire bulk of thoughts I had playing this game as a child. Thanks for making the Good Stuff.
Cool studf
Much appreciated 😁
3:17 this looks like a theatre area so I can imagine the villagers of Rock Village would attend pantomimes and various shows for entertainment.
My hobby is creative writing and I started a Jak and Daxter fanfiction last year. I just wrote a few paragraphs trying out a writing style to create something that captures this sence of mystery and everything that Jak 1 gives. I also love Jak II and 3, but always felt like I want to know more about the Precursor Legacy world. Now we have OpenGOAL and the wonderful Forgotten Lands mod. Maybe I'll continue my writing to finally publish something on the internet.
Do! And send me the link when you do 😁
Really love your series! Will you cover Jak II as well?
The plan is to cover all of TPL, then cover each major part of Jak II and 3 such as Haven, Wasteland, Mountain Temple etc! Thank you 😁
@@derrinmaloney1039 You are acknowledging the mistery intrinsic to the trilogy, which is something you don't see very often, if not at all. Looking forward to the other episodes! Wish you all the best from Italy!
This is probably one of my favorite levels in the game. As a huge J&D fan myself, your videos about the lore and history of the franchise are really awesome! Keep it up! 👍
Thank you kindly! 😁
@@derrinmaloney1039 You're welcome!
We grew up poor. Got a PS2 because it was a gift from the cable company. My father saw Jak and Daxter, the Precursor Legacy and thought of me. We couldn't afford many games. But Jak and Daxter will always be wonderful to me.
I feel you, didn't have a whole lot growing up myself! Used to play the beginning of TPL over and over as a memory card was just out of reach til we recovered from Christmas lmao TPL will always hold a place in my heart from those times, always good to hear other people feeling the same 😁
@@derrinmaloney1039 oh man, I remember being so confused when we learned that a memory card was required. 8 MB sounded like such a massive amount!
I always wondered what Rock Village would have been like with its inhabitants. Masterful Video!
Thank you very much, appreciate that a tonne 😁
I didn't think too much about Mountain Pass. I just assumed it was a small Lurker-occupied canyon. But the idea of it being a former Precursor construction zone and now a Rock Village mining area does sound legit. I think the red crystal in the tunnel could be crystallized Red Eco. If so, then they could be highly explosive. That's probably why the Lurker set up all that dynamite. If Jak and Daxter didn't stop them, the explosion could've set off a chain reaction which would've sealed the tunnel for years. Anyway, I'm glad you're back. What's been going on?
In the heart of Sandover Village, where the echoes of the Precursor Legacy still whispered through the ancient structures, Jak and Daxter returned to a seemingly peaceful life. However, tranquility soon shattered when an unsettling atmosphere gripped the village-a foreboding sense of intrusion. One ominous night, as the moon cast eerie shadows over the familiar landscape, a group of hooded figures materialized in the shadows. These mysterious intruders bore an uncanny resemblance to characters long believed to be confined to the past-Gol Acheron, the Farmer, the Fisherman, the Sculptor, and even the Bird Lady. As the night wore on, the hooded figures, driven by an unseen force, converged on the house of Jak and Daxter. The creaking floorboards betrayed their stealthy advance, and the duo awoke to the chilling realization that their home was no longer a sanctuary. The intruders, animated by an otherworldly compulsion, spoke in twisted echoes of familiar voices. They chanted incantations that warped the very fabric of reality, transforming the cozy abode into a nightmarish amalgamation of twisted memories and eerie dreams. Each room became a stage for psychological horror-the spectral Fisherman whispered haunting tales of the sea, the Farmer's ghostly presence hinted at dark secrets in the fields, the Sculptor's twisted sculptures came to life, and the Bird Lady's ethereal birds circled the home ominously. Jak and Daxter, armed with only their wits and the remnants of eco-infused weaponry, navigated the increasingly distorted house. They faced nightmarish illusions, with the intruders taunting them with visions of their deepest fears and regrets. In the heart of their once-secure abode, the duo confronted the hooded figures in a harrowing showdown. The intruders, driven by a malevolent force, fought with an otherworldly strength that mirrored the dark powers of the past. As the struggle reached its climax, the moonlight illuminated the faces of the hooded invaders, revealing not the familiar characters of old but twisted, grotesque versions-manifestations of the village's collective fears. With a final burst of determination, Jak and Daxter overcame the spectral assailants. The hooded figures, once filled with a malevolent force, crumbled away, leaving the village in a stunned silence. The intruders' malevolence dissipated, and the house returned to its normal state. Yet, as Jak and Daxter surveyed the now-quiet village, they couldn't shake the feeling that the invasion had left a lasting scar. The echoes of the night lingered, and the Precursor Legacy's whispers seemed more distant, as if the village had become a repository for the dark remnants of that fateful home invasion.
I live in New Zealand, and there is a little village called Arthurs Pass, in the South Island Its very scenic. There is a mine called Brunner mine. Also there is a cave, with no spiders.
Just looked it up, it's stunning! I'd fight Klaww if I knew I'd be greeted with a view like that 😂
A triumphant return!
Back in action Jak bros! 💪
He's back! It's a Christmas miracle!
Christmas always gets me in the Jak and Daxter mood 😂 Thanks for watching 😁
My favourite thing on CZcams
Much appreciated, that's some strong praise with all the great stuff out there 😁
Hey, nice to see you back! I always enjoy listening to your theories on Jak & Daxter. I also really enjoy that you tell them in such an "immerive" way.
Much appreciated, I always hoped they'd be relaxing videos that people could get lost in for even a few minutes ^^
@@derrinmaloney1039It's really refreshing to just sit down and ponder the mysteries of these environments.
Really nice to see another one from you.
Thank you 😌
@@derrinmaloney1039 Yes, of course. It's also just sort-of nice to listen to you talk.
Oh hell yeah, this series ain't dead yet
Won't be dead til every episode is done 😎 Thanks for the support 😁
@@derrinmaloney1039 always. Just had the chance to get back and watch this. Really in depth analysis as always; love the way that the geography was layered by your narration. First linking the lava of mountain pass and volcanic crater to snowy mountain's internal workings, then following up and comparing yellow eco vents to magma flows. Really positions the environmental magic worldbuilding in ways that fit naturally into place, perhaps even in ways that the devs didn't structure beyond "fire area= fire powers". It really adds a sense of thematic stability to a world designed mostly for game mechanics, nice work tying it together.
HE’S BACK!
He sure is, better than ever 😎
Love these videos, nothing else like it
Much appreciated 😌
I’ve never looked at Jak and Daxter the same way after watching your channel. You really bring a new perspective on things allowing for much more nuance and depth, it’s refreshing to see. Dapper as always friend!
Much appreciated 😁
@@derrinmaloney1039If you could, you'd probably publish a Jak & Daxter Field Guide
So Glad You've brought out a new video! I was started to worry you might have stopped as I really enjoy these videos! Can't wait to see you make more!
Thank you 😁 The breaks may be long, but whether it's an episode per week or per year, the series will be finished ^^
Yes you're back! Thank you!
Thank you for watching 😌
He's back! *And* I wonder what theories he'll have about *"The Lost Lands"* 🤔
Recently finished those! Definitely got my mind wandering - depending on how Kuitar's story unfolds in future expansions to the mod, I'd like to do an episode with theories of my own! I've translated a lot of Precursor text from the mod and it's right up my alley 😎
Im so glad to see you've return to making videos. After this series you should cover the locations in Jak 2 and 3.
I'll definitely be covering them, regardless of how long it takes 😁
Great to see you have returned with another fantastic video!
Thank you, hyped to be back at last 😁
I noticed you didn't touch upon the red crystals that litter the latter half of the Pass, though I assume it's something that would be brought up in the next video concerning the Red Sage. Either way, awesome work as always, absolutely love the writing style you bring to these videos <3
You guessed it, I'll be saving the talk of the crystals and the caves for the Volcanic Crater episode ^^ Much appreciated homie 😁
@@derrinmaloney1039 can't wait my guy!!
They could be crystallized Red Eco. I wonder if they're explosive.
HE'S FUCKIN BACK Semi unrelated but I am still bummed that the Jak'd podcast is over, it was seriously awesome.
Me too, the idea has been floated to bring it back, but no action unfortunately. If I heard the call to return though, I would 😎
@@derrinmaloney1039 If it's even in discussion to bring it back my day is already made, until then I'll keep my notifications on for sure.
Let’s go!!! I’m really happy to see an update to this series.
Thank you, I'm glad to finally be getting back at it 😁
the legend has returned to us, god I love this game, and yer videos dude. And he teases a new episode?! its my birthday apparently, awesome
New video definitely coming, can't say when though! But the series will definitely be finished no matter how long it takes 😁
Damn this was interesting
Much appreciated, which parts did you enjoy most? ^^
The return of the king with yet another banger 🙏🏻 we are truly living in the good timeline
Thank you kindly, glad to be back at last 😎
u ever coming back again bro? Every time i discover a good j&d channel theyve been inactive for years or months 😭@@derrinmaloney1039
The GOAT is back!!!
And not going anywhere 😎
I actually think those logs may have been shot at the beach by invaders. If they get invaded on that beach more often than other places it would explain the guardian status and stuff.
If i remember correctly it was the easiest boss in the game and was very underwhelming.
