Honestly most of the mythology is trippy and I love how they brought that in-game. I do hope to get more direct chatter between gods because it shows how much they try to respect the lore.
My favorite kill line in Smite is Kuzenbo's line towards Bacchus: "Do a pushup man, jeez!" Kuzenbo doesnt even say it mockingly he sounds genuinely upset at how weak Bacchus appeared to him
Man I kinda wish we got a Dionysus skin where they use the model from the Hades game.
As an avid lore-lover I would certainly advocate for continued installments of this format.
Ravan and Shiva gotta be my favourite, Ravan was a very powerful demon, he was proudly flying in his vimana after defeating his brother, he came across Shiva's mountain but couldn't fly past it no matter how much he tried, so he decided to uproot the entire mountain in rage, Shiva was on the mountain being lovey dovey with his wife, Parvati. When Ravan picked up the mountain, Parvati got startled by the sudden shaking of the mountain. Shiva simply pressed his big toe on the mountain trapping Ravana under it. When Ravan realised that the power of Shiva was beyond his comprehension, he sang praises for a thousand years whilst being trapped under the mountain and became one of the biggest worshippers of Shiva receiving his boon and a cool ass sword, those praises are called Shiva Tandav Stotram now. Thats why he says another thousand years and you might still learn humility or something
Ravana weakness was his ego, no matter how much time passed praising Shiva he never grew to see past of it, and it became the reason why he lost to Rama, a human.
@@Cra-b True, the three primordial Hindu Gods cannot disrespect each other's boon given to the worshippers. Shiva is considered to be the most easy going of all, it didn't take a lot to make him happy with his worshippers, so many demons tried to manipulate him by asking for ridiculous boons. He did give them all tho. But little did they know it was all part of a greater plan. Vishnu always found a loophole in Shiva's blessings, Because of his arrogance Ravan asked for invulnerability from both demons and gods cause he always thought of humans as being inferior, Vishnu found a loophole and took the avatar of Rama, a human. Completing the cycle of Karma and not disrespecting Shiva's boon at the same time
Mythology is amazing. Hindu seems pretty interesting
How is Rama involved in this story?
Man lettuce with ranch is nice.
Alright falcrest
So many people won't get this reference.
🤨
I was so confused until I got to that point in the vid and then I thought I would rather he had said ranch instead.
Sseth
Hearing Cthulhu's voice lines about the other Lovecraftian gods makes me really wish we'd get some new ones asap
Balancing them would be fit impossible
@@muramasa870 How? Canonically speaking, Cthulhu can wipe out any number of Gods without batting an eye and he's in the game with no issues. Part of introducing things like gods into a game is taking creative liberties and balancing them for said game.
I can see Azathoth as a type of ranged healer and damage mitigater to show off his reality bending abilities, make his ult a huge damaging ability for all gods, including allies, to symbolize him stirring in his slumber and thus destroying reality.
Nyrolethotep can be an assassin who's kit is based around turning into enemy gods to get close to targets before unleashing huge magical damage on a single target.
There are a lot of ways you can portray the Great Old Ones pantheon and a lot of ways you can balance them too - I mean, the literal incarnation of Death is in the game and it's not breaking Smite.
@@alienstar2088magine nyarlathotep transforming into an enemy minion to fool his enemies
or dropping a shining trapezohedron that if an enemy comes close to it nyarlathoteps avatar spawns and tries to grab you to then teleport in front of nyarlathotep
Can't wait for Azathoth he sleeps all game and then wakes up and destroys the enemy pc
@@dailybacka3689 I would imagine that Azathoth is going to be a stack character, growing stronger as he receives kills and assists which symbolizes him waking from his great slumber.
Lancelot's death line "I fall with her name upon my lips" is a reference to Lancelot and Guinevere's affair which was a major event in the destruction of the round table
5:35 The fact Set has a voice line that he would outlawed lettuce and he said, “Why? I don’t wanna talk about it.” confirmed this either can or already happened in the Smite universe.
My personal favorite that I noticed way back when I started. If you kill Ares as Bellona, she yells out proudly "WHO'S THE GOD OF WAR NOW"
Meanwhile, kratos: ARES
I would love seeing more of these, whether its interactions between other gods/kill phrases or even jokes/taunts. Although that might be quite a stretch...but it'd be nice content to see an understand some of these
Also the funny thing about the first one is that there is two Excaliburs, one was the sword in the stone, the other was given by Nimue, the one Arthur uses is the one given by Nimue, the first one he broke, but both are seen as Excalibur (though sometimes the other sword isn't given a name at all).
There is a theory that links both linguistics and the arthurian lore: the first sword was broken by a broken oath enchantment, historically, the first mention to King Arthur's sword it is given the name Caliburnus, so when the sword is remade by the fairies, the name would then change to Ex-Caliburnus, meaning that its owner could not keep a promise and literally unmade the sword this way, marking him as an oathbreaker.
The first sword is called caliburn
Much like the long interaction between arthur and merlin/set and horus there are actually two more god pairings that also share a back and forth. I believe Olorun and yemoja have one as well as Tiamat and Gilgamesh sharing one, i main tiamat and have heard it a few times myself. Also i think you could also do some more videos like this and showcase some more of the directed taunts as some of them are pretty cool.
Charybdis and Scylla have one too I think
@@OorahhColeman eset has a taunt to chary : 'You're just another monster.' Chary says after destroing a tower: 'Just another monster, after all'
Honestly smite needs more interactions like Merlin and Arthur’s I’d love to hear the gods interacting more
What show is Merlin and Arthur frim
As an HP Lovecraft fan, I appreciate the Cthulhu getting his flops
5:34 So that explains that fanart...
🤔
6:36 Persephone was essentially given away, as Zeus gave his permission to Hades. It was considered unusual that Demeter acted the way she did, in retaliation. To be honest, Hades was probably the best god she could’ve attracted… there are much, much worse ones out there, and their marriage was the most stable. Hades even defended her honor against Thesieus and his “friend” when they tried to take her away.
For the Heim and Thor interaction. I believe it was Heimdall who actually suggested the idea of Thor dressing up in a wedding dress. But amazing video nonetheless!
Also Loki was the one that tried marrying Freya off, Thor was loyal to Freya though and begrudgingly wore it for the sake of honouring their friendship while Loki shapeshifted into a bridesmaid as his "wingman"
If you're looking for someone who covers that kind of lore - Jake Doubleyoo has some brilliant and funny animations of the topic of lore. I believe he even did a 30 minute compilation of all the videos together, I highly recommend it
2:42 Still waiting for Old Sun Wukong to return as a classic skin for Hun Batz
I like how Cliodhna is upset on the more extreme death gods like Ah Puch, It shows a part of her myth that isnt very obvious: shenis a protective love goddess.
8:23 its funny because the nox joke implying breaking bad makes her seem dangerous, which she canonically was as she was incredibly powerful being a primordial that even the gods feared
Aw. You missed one of favorite Cthulhu lore lines. In his jokes he references his awakening in the call of Cthulhu book, with him mentioning being hit by a boat which makes sleep again in the house of ryleh.
Fun Fact: Cthulhu has a special quote against Heimdallr:
"The Vigilant One, blind as ever. Had you seen this coming, you might have had a chance."
This of course being a reference to how in the lore, no one could prepare for his arrival due to ignorance, and being a cheeky nod to Heimdallr amazing vision.
But the cool little fact is that they probably made sure he said this to Heimdallr because the name of the freighter that hit Cthulhu as he was waking up... was a called the Vigilant (Heimdallr's title)
Tiamat and Gilgamesh also have in game lines like Arthur and Merlin & Horus and Set
I would love to see more of these! Another idea would be just a 5-10 second lore explanation for each god, so everyone has a general idea of the lore without having to do the research or read the long god page.
Thanatos doesn't actually kill anyone in greek mythology he just escorts them to the underworld he's a benevolent deity.
hes a good boy
So does he take them to Charon or does Charon work independently of Thanatos?
@@armintor2826 I think Thanatos brings them to the underworld and Charon guides them.
@@armintor2826 same employer different jobs. Thanatos guides them safely to the underworld then charon ferrys them through river styx
You are all getting it all wrong. Thanatos is the literal reaper, but that doesnt mean he is evil, death is neutral, It is only evil in abrahamic myth. The one escorts the dead to the beaches of the Underworld is Hermes.
Smite needs more god interactions like this.
There's also another ally interaction between Olorun and Yemoja about their love for each other, about how much they missed each other, and the Orishas, Yemoja's children
5:37 with his posioned WHAT?!?!-
ahem- where i can get that kind of lettuce??? 😳
It wasnt even poisoned, he just used it as argument to Set submitting to him when they presented their case to Ra's judgment. He used a spell to make his semen run out of Set in front of the whole court.
I would not have known these exist if you didn’t make a video on them. I love how Sus is straight up the sus sibling of the trio.
Jorm roasting Loki, just peak destruction of character there.
Thoth is normally snarky and calm when he kills gods...except Eset, he loses his shit with her.
I always wanted Smite to have the Greek/Roman Gods have a duality feature. Like Zeus/Jupiter being different versions of the same character. Maybe minor differences. Maybe just renamed skins. Just a thought.
Zeus Almighty skin should be remodeled into Jupiter
Its funny because technically they did the same But with Kukulkan and Quetzacoatl. If you look at the Quetzacoatl ward skin you see the differences between him and his counterpart Kukulkan. but they share the same features and i honestly thought that Quetza wouldve been made into a god until it was confirmed to not be so.
i always liked the conversation between jorm and thor referencing thor taking a few steps before dying to jorms god killing venom
Keep these coming bro, loved every minute of it.
I love the Celtics gods. The Morrigan and cu chulainn. Lore wise she works against him. I'd love more celtic gods in smite.
I love these types of videos, sad to see smite doesnt do more lore type things
I've been (not so) patiently waiting for Mani ever since Sol was added to the game. I know he's supposed to be the quiet, patient, tolerant one of the two, but if they did something with the game lore to give him a reason to send an avatar to the Battleground like his sister I think it'd be really cool. I already love how they did Sol, with her essentially just sending a fragment of her power to fight in her stead, and doing something similar with moonlight instead of sunfire would be gorgeous.
Nah man, there are more important norse gods to be released before Mani, like Baldr and Freyr
Very nice work dude ! Thank you !
Excellent! I'm always down for lore vids, especially this great format where you introduce in-game dialogue that most people miss!
One thing that you still could have added here alongside the lore, is one of Set's joke lines: "My first decree will be to outlaw salads. Why? I don't have to explain myself!"
I may have known most of these already ( I like reading Smite's God menu Lore pages from time to time), but man do I really love mythology lore, I can't get enough of it.
I wonder how interesting would he to how Azatoth would interact between the gods and everything, especially Cthulhu
Would really love more of this content!
smite lore is so cool. i would love to see more of this kind of stuff both in game and on the channel
Just found these now and Im loving these tidbits a bunch!
Throuroughly enjoyed that! Smashed it!
Great video make me like the game more and to see the devs put time into the game with these interactions
I SAW THE ARTURO AND MERLIN IMAGE ON THE PREVEW OF THE VIDEO ON THE THUMBNAIL
I AUTOMATICCALLY CLICKED ON IT, ITS LITERALLY THE BEST SERIE I'VE SEEN ON MY FUCKING LIFE, IT WAS MY CHILDHOOD (somehow)
Should definitely do more. This was very cool and entertaining.👍
One of the things Smite could improve on that league does perfect, more banter while playing the gods to
I wonder if we have any interactions with Ravana-Kali-Ganesha.
They had a cool story together where Kalis other side Parvati basically gave Ravana a Giant totem pole to which where ever city he placed it would never fall in battle. Ravana had to carry this ridiculously large pole which weighed a ridiculous sum thousands of miles to where he wanted to place it in his Capital city. Ganesha learned of this and thought it would be funny to trick Ravana, and so he followed Ravana and acted like a kind hand and at one point offered to help Ravana resy by carrying the pillar. Ravana reluctant asked him to prove his power and thus he did lifting a mountain i believe. Ravana then greatful passed the pillar to Ganesha but Ravana didnt know he was Ganesha due to Ganesha changing his appearance, Ganesha then proceeded to instantly let go of the pillar after a laugh and if fell to the ground, and now with a rule of the pillar if it touches the ground it can not be moved from that spot. Ravana was enraged rightfully so and confronted Ganeshas Mother about the ordeal. She wasnt able to change the rule of the pillar but instead she herself proclaimed to guard Ravanas Capital City as Kali whenever she takes the form. Thus making it so only Shiva himself could hope to conquer the city while Kali guarded over it.
This are the little things why i love smite. Not just a game, u can actually learn about mythology. Congrats great video!
Amazing and informative vid! Loved it! More please!
You should totally do a smite power ranking tier list but based on the gods/legends lore and feats in myth
Definitely down for more like these
Definitely do more, it’s so fun!
We need more of these lore reference videos PLEASE
I certainly did not know the last one abt thor, love ittt!! Keep them coming
Finally some lore content in the fandom. Do more please
Thank you for the vid inter, really fun and educational ♥️☺️
worth noting that Loki has a joke about the Thor wedding as well
I don't watch gameplays but I subbed for interesting stuff like this. Great vid, thx.
Brief aside about the Hades and Persephone thing? That's just one version of the myth. There is another in which she wasn't forced to eat the pomegranate seed and did so willingly because her mother was so overbearing. I think there's even one where she went with Hades willingly, rather than being kidnapped, and one where he merely offered the seed and she ate it, but didn't know that eating it meant she had to return to the Underworld. That isn't to say he forced her, at most, he tricked her.
Similar to the myths of Athena and Medusa/Arachne, there is rarely one single version, but multiple versions with even the smallest changes between them.
Cthulhu: there are far worse things in the universe than myself, watching and waiting… *ad starts*
Damn, I wish those were more common in-game. Super fun.
Yes definitely. Please make more like this.
Love the video idea! Fun one
Minor nitpick on the Thor wedding dress. It was Heimdall who came up with the plan. Loki shot down every suggestion but that one. It's why Heimdall uses the reference.
“When I become king I’m banning salad… DONT QUESTION IT! I HAVE MY REASONS!”
More of this PLEASE
More of these, didn't know this was a thing.
Horus+Set=❤4ever
This is the most beautiful and underrated side of smite wish more ppl knew about this
I'm very down for more of these.
We need more of these! 🤩🤩🤩
Cthulhu's has a special quote against Heimdallr:
"The Vigilant One, blind as ever. Had you seen this coming, you might have had a chance."
This of course being a reference to how in the lore, no one could prepare for his arrival due to ignorance, and being a cheeky nod to Heimdallr amazing vision.
But the cool little fact is that they probably made sure he said this to Heimdallr because the name of the freighter that hit Cthulhu as he was waking up... was a called the Vigilant (Heimdallr's title)
As a lover of mythology pls do more of this!!!
Horus and Set getting in a flame war had my dying lmao
Thanks for this video, my thirst for mythology is satieted also this art of Hades and Persephone is *chef kiss*.
Love the lore and your video
Please more of these
Smite story mode could have alot of potential
a ministory for each god? a story for each pantheon?
It was in fact not Loki's idea to have Thor in the weddingdress in the proes edda(the oldest sours we have) it was Hejmdalls
Awesome vid!!
9:28 Yeah… it wasn’t Loki’s idea to do that.
It was Hiemdall’s! Which makes this even funnier!
Can you do a video on the top ten strongest smite gods in lore?
I knew most of them except Ama-Sus story, which is hilarious and Thor's bride skin origins, I thought it was a prank by Hi-Rez
This was a cool video. I would like more.
For sure we need more. 👍
Fun fact with osiris uh... hes actually missing his manhood and in order to ressurect him Eset and Set's wife (Nut i think?) Had to make him a new one and this is why he's stuck being dead in the underworld but cause Anubis is cool he just allows osiris to rule the underworld.
love these videos
I really like the jorm Loki one
Yes please more of this
God I would love to eat horus’s salad~
THIS IS SO SICK !!!
Please do more!
>cthulhu can body any god in lore
The monkey king: Am i joke to you?
Great video

Mercury quicksilver and susanoo have one too, so do apollo and Mercury
I hope they add more love craft gods man
This is such a cool video.
5:36 pardon?
