Do you know what the really sad thing is? When Teshin first got the veil, he tried to resist it. Same as almost everyone else did. But everyone eventually succumbs to it. Even the Drifter almost did until it was removed. But not Ballas, the one who created the veils. He immediately gave in to his own vision. In his desperation to prove that everyone just wants to be told the truth...he proved that he's the only one who wants that.
I mean the orokin were pretty much like a spoiled child but amped up to 17, so yeah considering he could not understand why margullis chose the tenno over him, i say the orokin overall give in to its own desires because they are used to it.
Ballas' death goes hard. Marghulis gave her love and life to the Tenno and Ballas was so hurt that he wanted to believe he never cared about her anyway. But then as soon as he sees her face he completely melts and sounds close to tears. He is reminded for just a moment why he did all of this in the first place which leaves him completely exposed. It took one moment of honesty from the Golden Lord of lies to finally bring him down.
Sentients are allergic to the Void though... Not sure if having Void inside her would be any healthy for her. Although she's an Eidolon already anyways
Nah, he escaped. He was trapped in the Void which is where Albrecht Entrati found him. Ballas opening up a portal essentially freed him, and Wally "helped" us on the Zariman as the deal to help us do so. You can see him if you look high up on the Whispers in the Walls upddate.
@Stanky Tree The entity that appears in ur orbiter is not rell, it never was... Rell was containing the man in the wall before we release him in harrow's quest, Now TMITW can communicate with us but he needs to materialize for us, using ur operator's appearence for this purpose... Interesting fact: when rell calls him '"the man on the wall" it is a quite literal description. This may be because as we already know from his story, Rell had autism and that's a common characteristic in general terms
@@KrissNaramon in Harrow's quest, rell's mother is using cards with different emotions to teach him about it. This is a common practice in Therapy with ASD. That's the reason cause Rell can't hold the transference in the first place. He can't interpret warframes emotions properly. (Ballas said it in Sacrifice quest)
If you check right as The Man in The Wall appears, he's missing the infamous finger on his upper right hand, even leaking void energy! Not surprising the finger inside our Railjack is so enormous!
The man in the wall is exactly what I thought it would be. Something massive dwelling within the void that's probably ONE of its forms. It's strange booming voice that sounds like its own language is very Lovecraftian and very biblical. But he seems to be more "be very afraid" rather then "be not afraid" kinda like it's just tolerating us for now. This is definitely going to be a problem down the road.
The funniest thing is how people would explain how the name "Man in the Wall" is metaphorical for being trapped in the void or something like that, and then DE shows that the name is very, very literal.
@@samiamtheman7379 yep he clearly shops at Walmart. He is a fan of wall-to-wall savings. Any attempt at seeing him vulnerable has resulted in complete stonewalling. Although for the lotus he seems rock hard.

Looking back at this scene between lotus and ballas it's basically the most story driven break up in gaming history Edit: holy shit where did these likes come from?
When you really think about it the entire story of Warframe is just one Lovestruck and person trying to deal with his girlfriend abandon him for some orphans
@@isaiahvaldez3330 jokes aside, i think orokin sees tenno as a weapon/tool. I'd say Lotus is equivalent to non-racist people back when everyone was racist (1800s?) That's why Ballas was like "wtf are you even thinking straight, Margulis?!"
It was a stab at space mom. She didn't believe he existed, told us it wasn't real. So he appeared to us, specifically her, as a literal man in the wall to mess with her mind and show his control over things.
@@yosefpoysun3534 she saw the man in the wall earlier, play assassination of this amalgam boss on jupiter to find out. Ropalolyst I think was his name.
@@conorflinn600 I mean the name makes sense tho, Wally is the manifestation of the Void and the Void is the Wall between realities, as we learned the Void is both the reason why a multiverse with infinite realities exists but also what kepts them apart from eachother and also allows travel between them The realities are the fabric of reality and the Void is the string that ties is all together
ballas should have had a better death at least, an orokin executor who manipulated the whole sentient race, took control of the whole solar system and created the warframes got killed by a kiss while being mind controlled
rather fitting considering the very object that is mind-controlling him is the very thing he used to mind control all our friends and the other factions into worshipping him. Essentially, our Tenno beat him with his own weapon, we may have originally thought we'd be killing him with the paracesis, but killing him with another weapon of his works just as well I guess.
@@user-tn3ek2vj6v Ballas' story is about his narcisism and greed. Lampshading all around, it's always someone else's fault that he's 'forced' to destroy everything etc. The only person so far that he didn't have outright murderous desires towards, was Margulis and even in her case, he was abusive and most importantly; possessive. To see her, finally on her knees and submitting to him, after all he'd done to her, to everyone she ever cared, to feel that sweet moment of finally being victorious? It was his comeuppance, his fitting end. I won't say it couldn't have ended better (personally, I'd have LOVED a scene where Tenno just come out the woodwork, breaking time and space for just one moment to stand up as an army and kick his behind from here to the edge of existence, but... oh well). But he had a good death, all things considered. A poetic one.
The thing that really spooks me about The Man In The Wall is how he seems to almost break the game’s physics and motions. His movement is so simple and not complex and he almost seems to phase with other objects around him. It almost looks like while everything else is done with lots of care and effort and lots of effects, the man was animated and effected with extremely few tools. Then when he kind of jumps at the Lotus before disappearing, he just kinda moves in one direction then disappears without any sort of transition. It’s so strangely creepy and seems like it could be setting up some kind of fourth wall break type thing, especially when you add in some of his previous interactions where he looks right at the camera(specifically the end of War Within)
The scene where Ballas gets tricked by the masks his army wore was honestly, saddening. Ballas really missed Margulis that much and was willing to destroy the sun or whole origin system as revenge. That just shows why he betrayed the Orokin and everything. He just wanted his true love back. Edit: You can also faintly hear “This is What You Are” in the background when Margulis is on screen.
I never had any empathy for Ballas. The grief felt by one man for his lost love does not justify the enslaving and killing of the majority. The desires and rights of the many outweigh the griefs of the few.
It was talked about earlier in the game it was deimos the mom talks about how her father met the man in the wall when he was experimenting and in a panic closed the portal severing the mans finger and used it to help develop the warframes
Ever since I saw this thing I've been wondering "how did the man in the wall escape?" Then rewatching this I realized he only escape AFTER ballas died, one of the last orokin, then lotus trapped him, but I think he'll be free as soon as lotus either dies or is incapacitated in some degree, allowing him to escape freely and that will in turn cause our RJ to malfunction and go to plains of duviri since our RJ runs on his missing finger
@@JustSayingitslore What side of the court is he on? Autocorrect, I know, but it's now an image in my head. Pretty sure he wins most matches. Sick video cut though. Nice to see a longer piece with more context than just sudden wallboi.
I was watching a lore video about the New War yesterday and it occurred to me that because of the veil, Ballas dies happy. He dies convinced that Margulis loved him more than the Tenno. So much more than the son of a bitch deserved.
People won't realize just how epic this is till it's too late, this was put together when they were all affected by the COVID-19 and it's still top notch, some rushed parts and could've been at least 3 or four more hours long but this quest is beyond amazing and it's so damn deep. The Devs put alot of work into this congrats to them.
@Turaglas lmfao 😂😂😂😂 how TF am I offending all those people. The Zarmanian, the Drifter plot, The Man in The Wall all that was well thought out. I'm not defending the rushed parts obviously I pointed that out above could've been 3 or 4 hours more content to fill in gaps that was missing.
I don’t know how I didn’t think of this when playing the quest. I was wondering why a giant smiling wall just started floating towards me and the Lotus. Somehow I didn’t put two and two together lol. Thanks for clearing it up.
I completely agree, they barely scratch the surface. With the man in the wall being such an influential piece now, we need to know more. And this Duviri paradox must have something to do with it.
Not the next update, I think we'll go smaller and focus on the origin system and wrap up the sentient problem for now, after all I'm not sure if hunhow is going to remain a tentative ally for now or use us since the whole system was at stake and not even he wants total annihilation because what would be left
I keep saying it, best release schedule IMO: New War -> bugfixes -> other updates / more narmer faction missions -> INFESTED LICHES / Arlo sidequest / Railjack Proximas of Deimos, Mercury, and Eris -> other updates / bugfixes -> DUVIRI PARADOX -> bugfixes
The part where the man in the wall appears genuinely took me by surprise so much and just brought back a flood of memories from the Duviri Paradox. I'm so fucking keen for the update...
I'm just gonna say this: if we ever do have The Man in the Wall as a Warframe boss, he really shouldn't be beatable by conventional means. I know that's not a popular opinion for Video Game villains, but unless the game becomes revamped to the point it isn't even recognizable, and all of the warframes become, like, Lovecraftian aliens + DBZ power level things, it makes no thematic sense for TMitW to suddenly have a HP bar we can chip down.
I kind of imagine it being like timed event raid style boss once a day or week where a Bunch of tenno kick its ass while dodging attacks, cc, and mobs. Then, when it gets defeated, the resolution would be that it just gets pushed back into the void again until it comes back. Kind of like an ongoing struggle to fight it off similar to the thermal event on fortuna or the ghoul event on earth.
I imagine it would be like the second act of The War Within. Basically a battle in the center of the mind, where one side traps the other in a horrible scenario made to wear them down physically and spiritually, and the other side fighting through all of it to escape their enemy's custom-tailored deathtrap and force them out of their mind.
@@NerdyGamer9k maybe attack it with railjack cheap shots or attack minor incursions of it that appear in the Suvari paradox during the nightmare state.
Really dont want to fight the man in the wall, I like the "Hey Kiddo" but also when you beat something of great danger then whats left? Fashion frame? The game is done…
That's literally the first thing that I thought of when I saw it, especially coupled with the fact that it usually takes the form of our tenno in all of our other interactions
When I first heard of The Man in the Wall back in “Chains of Harrow”, my first impression as to what exactly it might be is the voices one would hear when going insane, like how you see a manifestation that resembles the Operator occasionally after completing the quest. The conversation with The Man in the Wall at the end of “The Sacrifice” quest changed that initial impression to something like a demonic spectral entity haunting those touched by the Void, slowly corrupting them in some way like what happened to Rell. Until that scene right after Ballas died, that is; that… entity… actually resembles a man embedded in a wall. Didn’t realize that the “Man in the Wall” moniker was meant to be taken in a more literal sense.
yeah, that was really neat, the basically literal interpretation of what Rell was constantly saying all the time. I just thought it was referring to voices inside the walls, not that he had actually seen the entity, as he was somewhat doing the same thing, talking in whispers all around us, as if he was inside the walls, y'know? nothing would've prepared me for a gigantic white man inside a concrete wall floating in space and then speaking to us.
I kinda expected something bizarre. And i mean, rell was autistic. Like, *really* autistic. I don't think creatively naming things was a strongsuit of his
I really am getting Lovecraft vibes from this, good old Man in the Wall being a cosmic being utterly beyond our comprehension, looking in a way our primitive minds can take in without going utterly mad. Of course we’re already out of our minds having spent god knows how long in the void during the craziness aboard the Zarimon ten zero, but at least we can still do things without being a jabbering vegetable. I hope they give more crazy stuff like this in the future, and go all out when the duviri plains arrive.
I have a theory. The man in the wall IS rell. The void itself is the space between realities so it's obviously hostile to anything and everything that enters it, so when rell shielded everybody from the void that birthed the man in the wall, a cosmicly powerful being capable of surviving the void also twisting his personality. I think TMITW is going to be our ally throughout duviri because he seems to have done nothing but help us, he gave us void powers allowing us to resist and harness void energy contributing to our survival, and clearly powerful he diddnt just erase us from reality proves he doesn't want to. Although something as or more powerful that would oppose him? And make him go through creating us? I don't know but I think something wild is gonna happen
Obviously, the Man in the Wall presents himself as the Vitruvian Man as a sign of power. The Vitruvian Man has many meanings, and one of them is the hierarchy of all living things, and his representation in our realm, as US, is sat on top as if it were a throne. I love the idea that the Man in the Wall is literally a god, and sits atop the throne of all living things. The Man in the Wall is free, and He is inside lotus (if the smile wasn't enough of an indication.) His final words before disappearing roughly translated to "you owe me" meaning that he has something planned. The debt? He saved the children on the Zariman. This is all playing into a scheme that we simply do not have even a fifth of the pieces for.
Actually to add to your theory he says the phrases on the Kuva Cards, something along the lines of "Oull - Ris- Xata - Vome. Khra - Lohk." Which if if look at the description of each card you’ll get a piece of a poem roughly saying "Through endless faces, countless forms, a multitude unfolds, in luminous space blackened stars they gaze, acuze, deny. Its heralds are the stars it fells, the sky and earth aflame, To cosmic madness laws submit though stalwart minds minds entreat, to cosmic forms from tangent planes we end as we began, froom brooding gulfs we are beheld by which bears no name." In a few words he tells us that he is truly endless, has and will always be here. How the unknown and crazy laws of the void are the true laws of the universe. How all the paradoxes and realities converge in the void where it holds dominance above all. Now depending on who you ask it could change because everyone hears something different. But this is the most likely and coolest concept to me. The void is time, Wally is the Void, time I’d everywhere and no where all at once and so is he. He’s both won and lost and he’s smiled through it all.
1:59 You know its good writting when you get that Ballas was so broken inside that the momentothe veil is put on his head he couldn't fight it back. Just as he said: ''Put their pain where it serves us''.
Everyone is talking about what the guy is saying but does anybody realise that he didn't go back to the void? He just disappeared. What if he is released now?
I swear Warframe's lore and setting are so incredibly cool. I just started playing a few weeks ago after a big hiatus (I think I last played a lot right before Plains of Eidolon was added) and all this new content is insane. Say what you want about the game but there's a ton in it and these quests are rad as hell.
Erra dropped Ballas’ leash and Ballas smirked and stopped acting subservient the moment after they threw Natah into that machine. Watch that cutscene again s see if you’ll see that Ballas has been playing the long game.
@@spritemon98 Pazuul isn't Erra, it's the Archon that took control over his corpse, after Erra sacrificed himself for us, someone at the end of war took Erra's dead body and jammed a Tau Shard into it and now the leader of the Archons Pazuul is using Erra's body as his own to lead Narmer Now i wonder who did this and why, also how they got acces to Pazuul's shard because in the lore at the time of The New War, Pazuul was still in the Tau system following Hunhow's order to act as the guardian of Tau
Lotus' left hand is smoking. Wally spoke a series of Requiem phrases. My theory is she cut a deal with Wally (for what, I'm not sure), in exchange for him severing Ballas' Continuity, thus preventing him from just returning again.
@@lordlightskin4200 Minor correction, that hand implants itself in you while also mutilating your own hand in the process. The remaining flesh that flaps around looks weirly similar in texture to Sentient "meat"
@@frank8917 I have a hypothesis is that Teshin have secretly developed an AI replica of himself in case if he does pass away and unlike the Lotus AI that glitches every so often, Teshin's version is much more refined; the reason why he kept this a secret is up to debate, but still a surprise gift so that our training can continue.
@@KordellCunningham but what If he’s still alive and at the same time dead? I mean, if the Drifter exists there is a possibility that another Teshin could exist
Lore Nerd of this game incoming: At the end, I caught what manny says. "VOME XATA LOHK, YOU OWE ME" Translating the Requiem Words, which are powerful words that have been explained to be able to stop anything from life itself to Continuity through the Kuva, "Vome Xata Lohk" becomes "Order Truth Void"..not sure how that ties into our debt though..maybe he's promising? Or enforcing our debt via Requiem Words?
as a player with a potato laptop, I had to play with low graphics settings. Combine that with lack of sleep, and 3:36 felt like the entire cutscene, in fact the entire Warframe game platform even, gave way to a 2010 Gmod TF2 youtube video. Which on hindsight, were creepily abstract and crude, matched only by the simplicity of animation (example: czcams.com/video/WBuggMdUbog/video.html ). Similarly, on low graphics, I was really looking at a pasty partly-decapitated clay figure rotate like someone manually did it with Paint 3D, before laughing at me and disappearing into the background (behind you), all while stuck in a T-pose. Now that I think about it, that is probably the most meta representation of what it feels like to become the meme for once.
The sun was about to go off, which would kill all Tenno and species in the Sol system…Pretty sure the man in the wall gave Lotus the same choice they gave us. Die alone or survive…together
Pretty great isn't it? Yeah, the story for this game is a complete trip, but it kind of comes with the territory of the player character being a nearly demi-god like being literally fueled by Eldritch powers, plus a lot more crazy stuff.
Honestly I hope Lotus isn't possessed by the man in the wall. Like damn bruh I just went through 2 hours to get her back now i'm about to lose her again?
The thing that pains me with the new war is actually how hard it slaps, we will never get the unrushed content rich full version and that hurts me because the parts of it we did get go so damn hard. Still early the greatest quest line to ever hit warframe.
Ballas i understand you you are a great man but no one gave you chance to build the future by your vision :( i scared first time i see the man in the wall but hes cool when he says (Oull Riss Xata Lohk Khra vome)
So the smoking hand thing can be explained away as the level of power she was using to repel IT was burning her hand. Watching it at 0.25 speed the man in the wall (I wasn’t expecting it to be an actual man in a wall) vanishes as IT hits the barrier she was channeling, so DE can take the story in one of two ways 1# it did go into her and they could do two ways with that idea too that this was ITs plan all along (though personally I thing it wants use more as the player has a higher upper limit on their powers so will be more useful and because of our age easier to use) or that as IT hit her attack they merged and it’s now just biding IT’s time and getting used to the new vessel, 2# that as IT hit her barrier it was actually cast back into the void to wait and plot. Each of these idea can tell an interesting story but no matter what happens a showdown with the man in the wall is going to happen sooner or later or it can just wait for us to die of old age as something tells me that IT is timeless (btw I’m using IT when I describe IT in the same way the Stephen King’s IT is said instead of just it)
Rell was the test run to see if a void entity can take over a Origin crafted being to inhabit this space MitW goes into Lotus body....but who is in there? Did Ballas also get absorbed as a sort of prison or as a way to give him peace? We have to remember that Orokin have been transferring themselves from body to body for ages. It's not until we fight the glassing Orokin (forgot his name) that we learn that it is possible to contain the Orokin in a type of jailing Also, do you see how the Drifter sees the child version of the MitW on his head yet it is not seen from Lotus viewpoint. Does this mean that the War Within and Without has finally started between Drifter and Operator? Just some different ways to see things

Sentients are allergic to the Void though... Not sure if having Void inside her would be any healthy for her. Although she's an Eidolon already anyways
Nah, he escaped. He was trapped in the Void which is where Albrecht Entrati found him. Ballas opening up a portal essentially freed him, and Wally "helped" us on the Zariman as the deal to help us do so. You can see him if you look high up on the Whispers in the Walls upddate.

It literally is a man in a wall

Interesting fact: when rell calls him '"the man on the wall" it is a quite literal description. This may be because as we already know from his story, Rell had autism and that's a common characteristic in general terms
@@sebastianmontielcuevas5363 "Rell had autism" 💀💀💀
@@KrissNaramon in Harrow's quest, rell's mother is using cards with different emotions to teach him about it. This is a common practice in Therapy with ASD. That's the reason cause Rell can't hold the transference in the first place. He can't interpret warframes emotions properly. (Ballas said it in Sacrifice quest)
Rell was on the spectrum, and people on the spectrum don’t tend to dabble in metaphors.
If you check right as The Man in The Wall appears, he's missing the infamous finger on his upper right hand, even leaking void energy! Not surprising the finger inside our Railjack is so enormous!
Can confirm, the upper right hand is missing a finger.
You've got a keen eye. Didn't think or see it on my own playthrough
I wasn't able to record mine but I definitely saw it on my second watch on this video
Go ahead Cy, Void jump with the Railjack.
*HE WONT UNFINGER YOUR RELIQUARY*
He be missing more the one
The man in the wall is exactly what I thought it would be. Something massive dwelling within the void that's probably ONE of its forms. It's strange booming voice that sounds like its own language is very Lovecraftian and very biblical.
But he seems to be more "be very afraid" rather then "be not afraid" kinda like it's just tolerating us for now.
This is definitely going to be a problem down the road.
The funniest thing is how people would explain how the name "Man in the Wall" is metaphorical for being trapped in the void or something like that, and then DE shows that the name is very, very literal.
@@samiamtheman7379 yep he clearly shops at Walmart. He is a fan of wall-to-wall savings. Any attempt at seeing him vulnerable has resulted in complete stonewalling. Although for the lotus he seems rock hard.
@@samiamtheman7379 sorry wall puns.
@@samiamtheman7379 IDK why they thought that. Rell is canonically autistic, why would he state anything but the very literal facts in regards to the Man in the Wall?
It actually speaks in the requiem names. You can hear a very clear "Xata, vohm" when it talks.
Ballas walking like he shit his pants makes me laugh too much to take this seriously
I mean, how about you try walking on Sentient-made stilts
I mean, to be fair, he does use chicken legs to get around, because his actual legs are so short he may as well just use his long ass arms like a blue chimpanzee
Are we gonna ignore the elephant in the room and address the real possibility space Cthulhu may have just possessed space mom or what?
oh shit her leaft hand was smoking after it disappeared
Yeah man - I noticed the smoking hand first thing but originally missed the shadowy corona around her after he disappeared. I'm super curious about that one. There's going to be some fucky things going down.

Looking back at this scene between lotus and ballas it's basically the most story driven break up in gaming history

@@isaiahvaldez3330 jokes aside, i think orokin sees tenno as a weapon/tool. I'd say Lotus is equivalent to non-racist people back when everyone was racist (1800s?)
That's why Ballas was like "wtf are you even thinking straight, Margulis?!"
You know, I didn't think the name would be quite so literal.
It was a stab at space mom. She didn't believe he existed, told us it wasn't real. So he appeared to us, specifically her, as a literal man in the wall to mess with her mind and show his control over things.
@@yosefpoysun3534 she saw the man in the wall earlier, play assassination of this amalgam boss on jupiter to find out. Ropalolyst I think was his name.
@@WafelixRox but she denied his existence still
Well it was given to him by a child
@@conorflinn600 I mean the name makes sense tho, Wally is the manifestation of the Void and the Void is the Wall between realities, as we learned the Void is both the reason why a multiverse with infinite realities exists but also what kepts them apart from eachother and also allows travel between them
The realities are the fabric of reality and the Void is the string that ties is all together
“You monstrous B***H!” I felt that.
ballas should have had a better death at least, an orokin executor who manipulated the whole sentient race, took control of the whole solar system and created the warframes got killed by a kiss while being mind controlled
rather fitting considering the very object that is mind-controlling him is the very thing he used to mind control all our friends and the other factions into worshipping him. Essentially, our Tenno beat him with his own weapon, we may have originally thought we'd be killing him with the paracesis, but killing him with another weapon of his works just as well I guess.
Especially after she abandoned us
@@user-tn3ek2vj6v Ballas' story is about his narcisism and greed. Lampshading all around, it's always someone else's fault that he's 'forced' to destroy everything etc. The only person so far that he didn't have outright murderous desires towards, was Margulis and even in her case, he was abusive and most importantly; possessive. To see her, finally on her knees and submitting to him, after all he'd done to her, to everyone she ever cared, to feel that sweet moment of finally being victorious? It was his comeuppance, his fitting end. I won't say it couldn't have ended better (personally, I'd have LOVED a scene where Tenno just come out the woodwork, breaking time and space for just one moment to stand up as an army and kick his behind from here to the edge of existence, but... oh well). But he had a good death, all things considered. A poetic one.
My ex
The thing that really spooks me about The Man In The Wall is how he seems to almost break the game’s physics and motions. His movement is so simple and not complex and he almost seems to phase with other objects around him. It almost looks like while everything else is done with lots of care and effort and lots of effects, the man was animated and effected with extremely few tools. Then when he kind of jumps at the Lotus before disappearing, he just kinda moves in one direction then disappears without any sort of transition. It’s so strangely creepy and seems like it could be setting up some kind of fourth wall break type thing, especially when you add in some of his previous interactions where he looks right at the camera(specifically the end of War Within)
So that giant wall thing wasn't a fever dream. Got it
Can we all admire how badass was Khal 175? like even Tenno needs a special sword to kill Sentient, and he just MACHETE his way, with a very good gun.
I'm guessing Sentient drones being more difficult to kill is more of a gameplay thing than a lore thing.
Kahl 175 probably means level 175.
That thing can obliterate anything
Canonically Sentients are weak agaisnt ballistic weapons, hence most tenno guns using bullets, they did a poor job to put that in the game.
The numbers after the name is the clone count of the grineer, means Kahl the 175th clone of original Kahl I Guess ?
@@rariehlani1344 Straight up decimates, like thats not a low level
The scene where Ballas gets tricked by the masks his army wore was honestly, saddening. Ballas really missed Margulis that much and was willing to destroy the sun or whole origin system as revenge. That just shows why he betrayed the Orokin and everything. He just wanted his true love back.
Edit: You can also faintly hear “This is What You Are” in the background when Margulis is on screen.
I've kind of found it funny how the Lotus said you wanted a margulis you could control yet the moment he sees her he just drops everything
Also, he might’ve been under the control of “the man in the wall”, or the void itself
I think he kind of just went insane at some point.
@@Noodlepunk Probably. Likely due to his clear and obvious narcissism clashing with the love he likely did have for Margulis.
I never had any empathy for Ballas. The grief felt by one man for his lost love does not justify the enslaving and killing of the majority. The desires and rights of the many outweigh the griefs of the few.
Ballas: *pours pancake syrup*
Lotus: "Blows up pancakes with mind"
Ballas: Muh fuckin Pancake- *Man in the wall shows up*
M.I.T.W.: "Hey kiddo, ever heard about D&D? Lets talk about a Warlock's contract..."
Oh no the MITW is now the eldritch daddy 😂
Notice the MITW's right hand has a missing finger.
And the railjack is powered up by a Giant Finger?
Yeah i noticed that too.
Which means this wasn't the first time the teno have dealt with him
@@maniestranger4329 Now we are going to ask the Orokin
Wow you're literally the only one
No the finger is on the Zariman 10-0
It was talked about earlier in the game it was deimos the mom talks about how her father met the man in the wall when he was experimenting and in a panic closed the portal severing the mans finger and used it to help develop the warframes
The Man in the wall sure seems happy about something, doesn't seem like a bad bloke at all.
Because everything is going according to plan
Ever since I saw this thing I've been wondering "how did the man in the wall escape?" Then rewatching this I realized he only escape AFTER ballas died, one of the last orokin, then lotus trapped him, but I think he'll be free as soon as lotus either dies or is incapacitated in some degree, allowing him to escape freely and that will in turn cause our RJ to malfunction and go to plains of duviri since our RJ runs on his missing finger
The Man in the wall was never trapped
He been living inside the tennis rent free all these years remember kiddo you owe me
They just prevented him coming coming into our world
@@JustSayingitslore What side of the court is he on?
Autocorrect, I know, but it's now an image in my head. Pretty sure he wins most matches. Sick video cut though. Nice to see a longer piece with more context than just sudden wallboi.

His regular legs hanging off his new legs is doing things to my brain lol
Orokin VR headset got Ballas simpin’
I was watching a lore video about the New War yesterday and it occurred to me that because of the veil, Ballas dies happy. He dies convinced that Margulis loved him more than the Tenno.
So much more than the son of a bitch deserved.

People won't realize just how epic this is till it's too late, this was put together when they were all affected by the COVID-19 and it's still top notch, some rushed parts and could've been at least 3 or four more hours long but this quest is beyond amazing and it's so damn deep. The Devs put alot of work into this congrats to them.
The biggest shame is the lack of replayability
@@JaggedBird You mean replaying the new war? DE already mentioned they will work on it after the new war and short break.
@Turaglas lmfao 😂😂😂😂 how TF am I offending all those people. The Zarmanian, the Drifter plot, The Man in The Wall all that was well thought out. I'm not defending the rushed parts obviously I pointed that out above could've been 3 or 4 hours more content to fill in gaps that was missing.
Bro/Sis said I was offending the entire world about a post about a video game I'm dying over here 😂🤣🤣🤣
@@thefinestpiece ah okay. Thank you
I don’t know how I didn’t think of this when playing the quest. I was wondering why a giant smiling wall just started floating towards me and the Lotus. Somehow I didn’t put two and two together lol. Thanks for clearing it up.
It took me a bit to realize as well but then I saw the other version of me chilling on top and I was like OOOOHHH SHITTTT-
Everybody gangsta till the wall starts speaking
this last part really makes me wish the void and TMITW both get explored more in the next major story update.
I completely agree, they barely scratch the surface. With the man in the wall being such an influential piece now, we need to know more. And this Duviri paradox must have something to do with it.
Not the next update, I think we'll go smaller and focus on the origin system and wrap up the sentient problem for now, after all I'm not sure if hunhow is going to remain a tentative ally for now or use us since the whole system was at stake and not even he wants total annihilation because what would be left
I keep saying it, best release schedule IMO:
New War -> bugfixes -> other updates / more narmer faction missions -> INFESTED LICHES / Arlo sidequest / Railjack Proximas of Deimos, Mercury, and Eris -> other updates / bugfixes -> DUVIRI PARADOX -> bugfixes
The part where the man in the wall appears genuinely took me by surprise so much and just brought back a flood of memories from the Duviri Paradox.
I'm so fucking keen for the update...
I'm just gonna say this: if we ever do have The Man in the Wall as a Warframe boss, he really shouldn't be beatable by conventional means. I know that's not a popular opinion for Video Game villains, but unless the game becomes revamped to the point it isn't even recognizable, and all of the warframes become, like, Lovecraftian aliens + DBZ power level things, it makes no thematic sense for TMitW to suddenly have a HP bar we can chip down.
I kind of imagine it being like timed event raid style boss once a day or week where a Bunch of tenno kick its ass while dodging attacks, cc, and mobs. Then, when it gets defeated, the resolution would be that it just gets pushed back into the void again until it comes back. Kind of like an ongoing struggle to fight it off similar to the thermal event on fortuna or the ghoul event on earth.
I imagine it would be like the second act of The War Within. Basically a battle in the center of the mind, where one side traps the other in a horrible scenario made to wear them down physically and spiritually, and the other side fighting through all of it to escape their enemy's custom-tailored deathtrap and force them out of their mind.
@@NerdyGamer9k maybe attack it with railjack cheap shots or attack minor incursions of it that appear in the Suvari paradox during the nightmare state.

Getting some strong FMA Truth vibes from the Man in the Wall here.

When I first heard of The Man in the Wall back in “Chains of Harrow”, my first impression as to what exactly it might be is the voices one would hear when going insane, like how you see a manifestation that resembles the Operator occasionally after completing the quest.
The conversation with The Man in the Wall at the end of “The Sacrifice” quest changed that initial impression to something like a demonic spectral entity haunting those touched by the Void, slowly corrupting them in some way like what happened to Rell.
Until that scene right after Ballas died, that is; that… entity… actually resembles a man embedded in a wall. Didn’t realize that the “Man in the Wall” moniker was meant to be taken in a more literal sense.
yeah, that was really neat, the basically literal interpretation of what Rell was constantly saying all the time. I just thought it was referring to voices inside the walls, not that he had actually seen the entity, as he was somewhat doing the same thing, talking in whispers all around us, as if he was inside the walls, y'know? nothing would've prepared me for a gigantic white man inside a concrete wall floating in space and then speaking to us.
I kinda expected something bizarre. And i mean, rell was autistic. Like, *really* autistic. I don't think creatively naming things was a strongsuit of his
I really am getting Lovecraft vibes from this, good old Man in the Wall being a cosmic being utterly beyond our comprehension, looking in a way our primitive minds can take in without going utterly mad. Of course we’re already out of our minds having spent god knows how long in the void during the craziness aboard the Zarimon ten zero, but at least we can still do things without being a jabbering vegetable. I hope they give more crazy stuff like this in the future, and go all out when the duviri plains arrive.
I have a theory. The man in the wall IS rell. The void itself is the space between realities so it's obviously hostile to anything and everything that enters it, so when rell shielded everybody from the void that birthed the man in the wall, a cosmicly powerful being capable of surviving the void also twisting his personality. I think TMITW is going to be our ally throughout duviri because he seems to have done nothing but help us, he gave us void powers allowing us to resist and harness void energy contributing to our survival, and clearly powerful he diddnt just erase us from reality proves he doesn't want to. Although something as or more powerful that would oppose him? And make him go through creating us? I don't know but I think something wild is gonna happen
Obviously, the Man in the Wall presents himself as the Vitruvian Man as a sign of power. The Vitruvian Man has many meanings, and one of them is the hierarchy of all living things, and his representation in our realm, as US, is sat on top as if it were a throne. I love the idea that the Man in the Wall is literally a god, and sits atop the throne of all living things. The Man in the Wall is free, and He is inside lotus (if the smile wasn't enough of an indication.) His final words before disappearing roughly translated to "you owe me" meaning that he has something planned. The debt? He saved the children on the Zariman. This is all playing into a scheme that we simply do not have even a fifth of the pieces for.
Actually to add to your theory he says the phrases on the Kuva Cards, something along the lines of "Oull - Ris- Xata - Vome. Khra - Lohk."
Which if if look at the description of each card you’ll get a piece of a poem roughly saying "Through endless faces, countless forms, a multitude unfolds, in luminous space blackened stars they gaze, acuze, deny. Its heralds are the stars it fells, the sky and earth aflame, To cosmic madness laws submit though stalwart minds minds entreat, to cosmic forms from tangent planes we end as we began, froom brooding gulfs we are beheld by which bears no name."
In a few words he tells us that he is truly endless, has and will always be here. How the unknown and crazy laws of the void are the true laws of the universe. How all the paradoxes and realities converge in the void where it holds dominance above all.
Now depending on who you ask it could change because everyone hears something different. But this is the most likely and coolest concept to me.
The void is time, Wally is the Void, time I’d everywhere and no where all at once and so is he. He’s both won and lost and he’s smiled through it all.
the way how Ballas talks to everyone but mainly to Lotus, Spoken like a true incel.
1:59 You know its good writting when you get that Ballas was so broken inside that the momentothe veil is put on his head he couldn't fight it back. Just as he said: ''Put their pain where it serves us''.
Everyone is talking about what the guy is saying but does anybody realise that he didn't go back to the void? He just disappeared. What if he is released now?
I was thinking he possessed the lotus, who he merges into and can be seen weirdly smiling before collapsing
he was already free and has a finger in ur railjack
He was never trapped
He was free once rhell was freed
Listen again he’s saying the lich stuff xata lohk all that and he looks like he went in lotus she starts smiling
Something i noticed, the statue of the man in the wall is missing a finger, and a finger around the same size can be found in the railjack
the real finger is on the zarimon. the one in our railjack is a fake one ergo replicated.
I swear Warframe's lore and setting are so incredibly cool. I just started playing a few weeks ago after a big hiatus (I think I last played a lot right before Plains of Eidolon was added) and all this new content is insane. Say what you want about the game but there's a ton in it and these quests are rad as hell.
I honestly didn't expect him to be such a big bad because Erra treated him like a pet
Erra dropped Ballas’ leash and Ballas smirked and stopped acting subservient the moment after they threw Natah into that machine. Watch that cutscene again s see if you’ll see that Ballas has been playing the long game.

Goodbye Bal Man, hello Wal Man.
Finally. Umbra is avenged. Yeah sure the man in the wall fucked things up, but Ballas is finally dead
Lotus' left hand is smoking. Wally spoke a series of Requiem phrases. My theory is she cut a deal with Wally (for what, I'm not sure), in exchange for him severing Ballas' Continuity, thus preventing him from just returning again.
Not to mention the hand you grab as the operator is lotus’ hand that was cut off
@@lordlightskin4200 Minor correction, that hand implants itself in you while also mutilating your own hand in the process. The remaining flesh that flaps around looks weirly similar in texture to Sentient "meat"

Lore Nerd of this game incoming:
At the end, I caught what manny says.
"VOME XATA LOHK, YOU OWE ME"
Translating the Requiem Words, which are powerful words that have been explained to be able to stop anything from life itself to Continuity through the Kuva, "Vome Xata Lohk" becomes "Order Truth Void"..not sure how that ties into our debt though..maybe he's promising? Or enforcing our debt via Requiem Words?
as a player with a potato laptop, I had to play with low graphics settings. Combine that with lack of sleep, and 3:36 felt like the entire cutscene, in fact the entire Warframe game platform even, gave way to a 2010 Gmod TF2 youtube video. Which on hindsight, were creepily abstract and crude, matched only by the simplicity of animation (example: czcams.com/video/WBuggMdUbog/video.html ). Similarly, on low graphics, I was really looking at a pasty partly-decapitated clay figure rotate like someone manually did it with Paint 3D, before laughing at me and disappearing into the background (behind you), all while stuck in a T-pose.
Now that I think about it, that is probably the most meta representation of what it feels like to become the meme for once.
Shows up, flexes on Ballas and the Operator, and then leaves. What a fuckin chad.
The sun was about to go off, which would kill all Tenno and species in the Sol system…Pretty sure the man in the wall gave Lotus the same choice they gave us. Die alone or survive…together
I was surprised he wasn't immune to his own propaganda.
i was looking for just this scene exactly, thanks
the sound design of warframe is INSANE, i never see it getting complimented but its better than any game ive played
I have no idea what the context of this shit is, so this is the most absurd, trippy, LSD induced insanity imaginable to me.
Pretty great isn't it?
Yeah, the story for this game is a complete trip, but it kind of comes with the territory of the player character being a nearly demi-god like being literally fueled by Eldritch powers, plus a lot more crazy stuff.
@@uGuardian4 Damn, this game is absolutely nutso.
Honestly I hope Lotus isn't possessed by the man in the wall. Like damn bruh I just went through 2 hours to get her back now i'm about to lose her again?

"say the line ballas!"
"You monsterous bitch."
"WHOO YEAH BABY THAT WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR WOOO"
The thing that pains me with the new war is actually how hard it slaps, we will never get the unrushed content rich full version and that hurts me because the parts of it we did get go so damn hard. Still early the greatest quest line to ever hit warframe.

but hes cool when he says (Oull Riss Xata Lohk Khra vome)
Man in the wall: Oull Ris Xata Vome, Mara Lhok?
Translation: Do you remember our deal, Child of the void?
man the SCORE on that scene gave me chills
Apparently the man in the wall says Oull, Ris, Xata, Vome, Khra, Lohk. Which translates to ???, Light Truth, Order, Time, Void
Yes he's saying the requiem words
@@maulanahanif6761I think i might know some of these words like
xata I think its truth
vome is order
fazz is chaos
When you realize rell was right.....jesus christ. Now we got a cthulu to deal with
If DE has any good writing chops, you won't be dealing with him, he will be dealing with you
This is not only the man in the wall,its "The man with his man-wall"
Drifter's utter terror at his witness of the Wall is what really gets me.
I need to do this in my Harrow Suit in memory of Rell. He fought so hard to keep the man in the wall away
So the smoking hand thing can be explained away as the level of power she was using to repel IT was burning her hand.
Watching it at 0.25 speed the man in the wall (I wasn’t expecting it to be an actual man in a wall) vanishes as IT hits the barrier she was channeling, so DE can take the story in one of two ways 1# it did go into her and they could do two ways with that idea too that this was ITs plan all along (though personally I thing it wants use more as the player has a higher upper limit on their powers so will be more useful and because of our age easier to use) or that as IT hit her attack they merged and it’s now just biding IT’s time and getting used to the new vessel, 2# that as IT hit her barrier it was actually cast back into the void to wait and plot.
Each of these idea can tell an interesting story but no matter what happens a showdown with the man in the wall is going to happen sooner or later or it can just wait for us to die of old age as something tells me that IT is timeless (btw I’m using IT when I describe IT in the same way the Stephen King’s IT is said instead of just it)
Rell was the test run to see if a void entity can take over a Origin crafted being to inhabit this space
MitW goes into Lotus body....but who is in there? Did Ballas also get absorbed as a sort of prison or as a way to give him peace? We have to remember that Orokin have been transferring themselves from body to body for ages. It's not until we fight the glassing Orokin (forgot his name) that we learn that it is possible to contain the Orokin in a type of jailing
Also, do you see how the Drifter sees the child version of the MitW on his head yet it is not seen from Lotus viewpoint. Does this mean that the War Within and Without has finally started between Drifter and Operator?
Just some different ways to see things
Ah hell nah, Baller got the Apple Vision Pro
This quest was so dope
man that relieved sigh at the very end hits hard
its sort of sounds like the man in the wall was saying, "thank you, *someone*. I am free... "
If you speed it up, you can hear “Oull - Ris - Xata - Vome. Khra - Lohk”
@@murasameow "Through endless faces, countless forms, a multitude unfolds.
In luminous space, blackened stars, they gaze, accuse, deny.
Its heralds are the stars it fells, the sky and Earth aflame.
To cosmic madness laws submit, though stalwart minds entreat.
To cosmic forms from tangent planes, we end as we began.
From brooding gulfs are we beheld, by that which bears no name.
"
We are now beginning to see things as they truly are
3:35 Man in the Wall has Palpatine’s chin lol
Reminder- we are literally fighting on the edge of the sun
VOULL NE XATA VOK, MARA LOHK?
I like how you can see the man in the wall is missing a finger. Attention to detail, they has it.
the man in the wall showing up after ballas died is like Thanos when he said "fine i will do it myself"
he is also missing a finger if you look closely. thats the finger in our railjack
When I had first seen and heard the man in the wall It sent shivers down my spine and put a knot in my chest…
Just a heads up. The title is super spoilery and you should change it!
Anyway, the man in the wall is a literal wall lel
I haven’t played this in years, and I want to say: WHAT IS THAT!?
My goodness I’m falling way behind. The last time I played this game was before they even have faces.
Now I’m really intrigue. I’m falling far behind, so I gotta check it out when I can.
3:40 oh!!!! Oh..... shit!!! We literally do have his finger in our railjack!!!
ah so the finger in your railjack's reliquary drive is from the man in the wall
Genuinely one of the most cathartic deaths of a villain ever.
I like your drifter, he's cool!
The Lotus used Draining Kiss!
It’s Super Effective!
The wild Ballas fainted!
We need more of the man in the wall
Less is more
I've stopped playing warframe 5 years ago, but damn, this "man in the wall" entrence is really fu*** scary.
At 3:39 keep watching and listen carefully we actually can hear the man in wall saying hey kiddo but not in our voice
No he's spelling the requiem words (like the mods for our parazon)
He says "Oull, Ris, Xata, Vome, Khra, Lohk"
Man this was so damn cool.
Bro appears from the void, speaks in requiem mods, then leaves and does not elaborate
