PrideSlayer out here literally solving Runescape. What a fucking absolute G, this video is amazing! Your attention to detail is second to none. Vetted for sure! Congrats man, sharing this everywhere.
Thanks big brother 🙏
Great video! Been driving me crazy that there hasn’t been comprehensive rs3 lore videos. Keep up the good work my man. Hopefully we see Glough make a return
Absolutely glough is so cool. I wanna make a "fake" RuneScape trailer for quests I want to see i was thinking of going Monkey Madness II Mwanu Madness.
Explains how gloughprie becomes corrupted and creates arposandra and glough broke into Raksha prison on a mission for the gnomes
Finally the video we've all been waiting for! Bro good catch with the constellation and the morse code... "hidden amongst the stars" and then a Jas plant to make it look like that's the reference... but there was even more hidden in the stars all along. Crazy
Haha I even think it might a reference to her death 💀
Mufasa from Lion King style, which would mean vos died too.... Wait... Next video hint!? 😂 thanks for watching bro for real
Fantastic and interesting vid! Love it! I also appreciate how you can logically connect so many aspects of Runescape Lore to have it easily make sense to people like me. Keep up the great work! U R the GOAT!
I really appreciate that alot! I can't wait to make more because of wonderful people like yourself!
Just yesterday I was thinking about looking for rs3 lore videos, the almighty algorithm answered my prayers
Hey welcome! I definitely love lore! Hope you enjoyed the video! More to come
I absolutely love your lore. Zaros is absolutely my favorite and it’s super sweet to get to hear you peel back the mysteries for me!
oh wow thanks for the awesome comment! i love lore lmao id post more if time allowed XD ty so much fr
Love it!
Before the battle of the monolith I never linked zaros and Xau-tak.
Now I see links between Amby's black hole mechanic and the Zaros godsword special attack Black Hole. Identical.
The Zarosian symbol (4 spokes in an octagon) and the Moksha device ((4 chains, and the eight spikes from the Skekslan meaning dead-birth) are somewhat similar.
Zaros' outfit has a closed mouth, and if there aren't black hands on his shoulders they look like tendrils or tentacles.
Oh boy that souls tie in was crazy :0
I'm so glad you're doing this stuff. I'm shamefully a former spacebar quester and I'm so interested in the lore that I missed but I can't restart and do all these quests again
had been following for a while, but really getting into your videos now that i'm working towards the master quest cape!
oh wow tysm! i am doing a full quest playthrough rn on an iron and its so fun haha
Simply beautiful. I really like your passion and dedication to this! Keep it up!
means alot my friend! i'm glad it could entertain you because its definitely something that entertains me haha
❤ your content makes me so excited to do my quests! Only 4 more then I enter the 6th age
aww thank you! the story of this game is so dope and its truly worth the playthrough! glad youre enjoying your quests!
This is easily my favourite one so far bro, you’re only just getting started!
Hey wow just saw this thank you so much!
Super dope video man!
Bro thanks for even taking the time to watch man!
Love the lore updates and how clear you made everything! I like the idea of dark elder gods, like the opposite side of the coin for each of the elder gods.
Dude this is so interesting. Just found your channel can't wait to watch more
This is honestly really cool to me, been listening to some of your videos on the side. RS lore has always been something I have a huge interest in every time I open the game back up.
Keep it up bro these are 🔥
The thing i wonder is: will we ever see zaros again on geilinor , sunce hes in the afterlife and all and all gods are banished
I wish haha but who knows!
6:44 in, subbed. just the kind of channel i was looking for
Yay 💕 welcome Tony 😄! Thank you for the support. Together we can defeat The Shadow!
Great documentary ty
Amazing video, the runescape lore is pretty built up after all these years.
Prideslayer out here driving the speed of light with theory, meanwhile jagex traveling at walking speed. Just hire this guy as lead development.
I just subbed. You've got great content and present it well!
love Zaros, i await my lords return.
I can't wait!
All hail Zaros!
he was absolutely talking about the elder artifacts, honestly i think hes going to try and bring out that shadow elder god to absorb\kill the others and then imo betray the shadow elder god.
commenting for a chance at orange h'ween mask , also because i wanna get more attention to this awesome video !
Awesome bro tysm!
Amazing video, going to go through all your vids now. Thanks jagex for pointing me here
This was like the greatest thing I could ever hear thank you so much and I look forward to putting out some more videos for you!
For the board behind Einstein Shrek: Do the music notes actually mean anything? Musical notes usually are assigned some letter designator (such as for example A, A minor, etc), so if anyone here has musical knowledge, I wonder if they spell anything out? Or if they were played, what is the sounds they produce? Depends of course on the instrument, but I am somewhat curious if when played the sound matches with the start of any Runescape theme we usually hear connected to an entity of some sort. In addition, the symbol below the notes that looks like a triangle with a circle in the middle sort of looks like it would fit right in with one of the Elder God symbols, though it doesn't match any of the known ones.
I didn't want to continue to speculate but I probably could have done like another deep dive on that, I'm starting to think there's like three parts of a pyramid anima shadow anima anathema
I'm gonna do another Xau Tak doc to explore his actual nature. There's some wild shit I've found speaking About him
@@prideslayer77 Sounds very interesting. I look forward to it.
Einstein Shrek's chalkboard definitely seems to contain a lot of very curious stuff. For example, the numbers under the farming symbol almost look like a radio frequency of sorts. Too bad, there is no place in game where we could input random number sequences into in order to perhaps get something to happen. I wonder just how much stuff has been snuck into the chalkboard?
The music staff is missing some lines, so depending on whether the note placement is sloppy or intentionally placed on/between missing lines, the notes are either "B B D D" or "B A C D". We could also name the intervals between the notes: That would be either unison/sixth/unision (1 6 1) or second/sixth/second (2 6 2). If you wanted to treat those as letters in alphabet order, that would be either "A F A" or "B F B". I'm not seeing any meaning in any of these interpretations, but thought I'd share in case anyone else sees something.
As a devoted follower of Zaros...i do hope that in his endless wisdom he did not let himself be fooled.
That would make me sad.
You know, it never made sense that a mortal sorcerer could hide the staff from the eyes of Zaros even if he received the blessings of Saradomin who at the time was much weaker than the current version. But if he took the blow on purpose and cursed all those people to hide the lead, it makes a lot more sense.
Sickkkkkkk always epic 🫡🎃
I just noticed on the RuneMetrics image there is the German word kartoffel which means potato with an arrow pointing to the formula for ethanol, not going to lie that made me giggle
You made some interesting points about Zaros and his “offering”. I often assumed the offering in question was Mah’s core, but it never really made sense why he’d give it up as quickly as he got his hands on it. This offering of multitudes of souls could be the reason he may have had to build an empire and orchestrate his own demise. What better way to ensure that Zaros gets many souls for offering to Erebus than a large scale massacre of his own followers?
I still don’t know about his whole resurrection, though. I feel his he went straight to Erebus when Ol’ Zam rammed the staff up his bum, and either had to offer the souls he accumulated as a sacrifice to return to life….Or upheld some kind of bargain. We know Zaros has been in contact with Erebus long before his empire when he encountered something in the Shadow Breach on Freneskae.
But this is all speculation.
well thats what i think vos convinced him to do! essentially in the inquisitors journal we are seeing into Sliske (and by extension) Zaros grand plan! Vos "whispered" power to zaros, causing him to "shed his mortal form" and would be an explanation as to what they were used for. since this documentary, i found some more spooky shit talking to him on freneskae with certain items in inventory!
@@prideslayer77 What items….?
very nice
Thank you!
Awesome video. Putting your passion for RS lore to work here.
If i get that mask, I'll alch it on stream or something idk
Haha appreciate the watch, truly. Sounds good lmao it's worth the meme
I really think you can save us
Great stuff again!
Thank you!
Einstein Shrek.
Do you really think you can save them?
*looks at my sack*
Do you really think you can shave them?
that staff is too nice
I havent even done recipe for disaster. My lore level is like 3, and this seems like some real endgame lvl 120 stuff
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
LOVE THESE LORE VIDEOS, subscribed
Doesn't Jas also represent sand as well as time?
Well done! This was quite the good theory video, my fellow lorehound. However, I have some information you do not. I know the names of the 4 Lords of Erebus, what they each represent, and why exactly Zaros went into Erebus. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to reach out! I've been working on this theory for a while and it all checks out
Would it happen to be Tezcasathla, Nyarlahydra, Uvhastur, and Yogasathla?
Sounds good! If you have discord my personal DM is "prideslayer77"
Also I'm always super stoked to have a new friend to talk lore with
Same man, I've got a lot of info and theories to share!
Where was the cut scene of Zam killing zaros from?
shard of mah :D
Big. Daddy. ZAROS.
He will return!
Crazy
If Zaros had any allegiance to Vos, why would he be poisoning Erebus with human souls? The fact that the Zarosian use of Erebus as an afterlife is likened to contaminating a water source with sewage outright states that it is something undesirable to the entities that inhabit Erebus, so why would Vos want human souls.
I find it much more likely that this is just one more element of Zaros' grand plan, which he, in in own internal monologue recorded by the memoriam crystals, has stated to be for mortals to inherit the world.
He's not poisoning erebus with human souls is the point. He is collecting them.
Why would kranons ritual use ten thousand souls to open a portal to EREBUS if they're not useful lol?
Kranons mentions making a great blade of souls at which to cut away the universe.
@@prideslayer77 Indeed, they can be used as a source of power for great feats, as also exemplified by necromancy, Nomad, and the Order of Ascension. But that's because they're made of anima, and anima is power.
Which holds true for this universe, but for Erebus it seems to be inversed. Where anima is power, and shadow anima is anathema, the reverse seems to be true for Erebus.
So while Zaros 100% intends to use the souls he has gathered in Erebus for some purpose, I highly doubt it is to serve Vos.
I'd go as far as to speculate he could be planning to kill Vos, the same way the regular elders treated shadow anima as deadly poison.
@@themather1 well I'm not proposing Zaros is evil tbh but I definitely think he gave in to vos and let his pride convince him he would be okay.
I do for sure think VOS is the sixth elder god who perhaps mah tried to reanimate.
But Zaros says
"What I seek cannot be found in this universe.
I have the apparatus to protect me and and an offering for those who rule there.
He pleaded with jas to take mahs place, had her killed by leviathan, and thinks vos is going to trade.
Hell no. Xau Tak and vos have no interest in diplomacy.
Do we know what the suffix / title / word, -Ma and -Da means? Regarding Vos-Da, Xau-Ma, and Tak-Ma? I was getting a gendered vibe from those, but I have no idea.
I definitely think it implies that XT is twin females. Maybe even conjoined.
If you look into some of the senntisten lore Vos is the King of shadows so I'd assume DA is masculine and MA feminine.
The mother of the black stone
I do love me some LORE!
Glad you're here!!
Also, about the current Elders…Their actions of creating, nurturing and resetting an entire universe in perpetuity doesn’t seem very….creator like. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they’re running away from something. Erebus, most likely. I wonder if the Elders were some kind of “tribe” or anomaly originally from Erebus, as there were definitely more of them. Judging by their dwindling numbers, they either died because of incompatibility with shadow anima/“something else” or tried to escape from the rulers of Erebus. The resetting of the universe could be their way of cleansing or cleaning out something undesirable to their survival.
Them being refugees also explains why they placed their perfect worlds at a greater distance from the source of the “shadow” emanating from the lower planes. They are also AFRAJD of mortal life, suggesting they want a universe with only the five of them. Mah’s death must have been very unexpected, possibly saying “there’s no escape from Erebus”. Causing Jas to take extreme measures.
We seriously need more quests and less stupid combat/skill reworks. I’ll be in my 40s by the time we have answers at this rate.
haha :) i have an awesome vid i think youll enjoy, so i showed how VOS is probably an elder god, theres probably an entire pantheon of shadow elders too, but the "something else" (xau tak) is definitely involved in reincarnation and is most likely what they fear, Mah before her corruption (according to Mod rowley check the wiki) mah used to destroy intelligent life because she knew of it's "potential" and it could explain how Xau tak has always known of the Player (glory of zaros incident with "players" name) or pieces of hate when the kitten calls us a monster
@@prideslayer77 It’s a strange implication, that there’s mortal life in Erebus….All the characters were being eroded upon a brief exposure to Erebus’ atmosphere. Can beings that are attuned to Erebus survive a lifespan there? Or is a whole “Empire of Dead/Undead” kind of deal? Death said something an empire beyond this world, but that might well refer to Um.
But is it Vos or Vos?
I THINK ITS VOS
You're not 100% right about Zaros lying to us. There actually ARE souls in Erebus, but you have to bare in mind we enter Erebus from its FURTHEST point, like Freneskae in our world being the oldest plane, we enter Erebus in its oldest area. If we entered from the Monolith, it's other furthest point we could likely see the more "modern" parts of Erebus. Death describes "an empire that extends beyond death" so likely there is a place somewhere in Erebus where mortal souls actually do go.
Scions of Erebus is written from the POV of a bitter exile that was cast out of its realm. Baring in mind the Chthonians are basically Shadow Cacklers who have lost their power source, literal parasites that were "cast out" so if something cast them out, there is likely someone making the rules. And or protecting something, probably the mortal souls who Zaros guides to Erebus with Erebal Elements. You should also bare in mind that Zarosians (like myself) gain a "shadow soul" of sorts, nothing like our World Guardian soul, but a primitive version of it. This is likely done so that our souls can exist in Erebus, since Death says a soul goes where it believes it will go. When it says "When sewage pollutes the reservoir, does it become the place for sewage to be stored?" it is literally referencing that mortal souls are coming to Erebus and making it their home, which is more than likely why the Abyssal Lords were thrown out.
I'd love to discuss this with you sometime, there's a lot more to this story that so many people miss.
I was going to make a video about this a long time ago, but became too unwell to do it. Then kind of abandoned the idea after thinking nobody would want to see it anyway XD
to bad this lore doesn't matter anymore. since the lore, and most of these characters got thrown into a dumpster by junior jmods who were given the keys to rewrite the entire story, and replace all the gods with their perfect mary sue daughter clones who can do no wrong, and pull power, and mcguffins clean out of their snatch.
That is the current state of the runescape lore.
