EDIT: Wow! This is now my most viewed video on my channel! I truly cannot thank you all enough!
New video is up! Please go check it out!

I did in fact make a few mistakes throughout this video, but nothing that would impact the overall story. I will quickly summarise them down below:
There is a unknown "space sickness" mentioned in the A Moment Fractured log that seems to only affect the two brothers. This prevents the brothers from using ships/travelling through space without the Teleporters, which is why Mithrix never managed to leave the moon. The Devs have mentioned that it is NOT: Radiation, Extreme cold, Lack of oxygen, Basically anything that can be solved by having a spaceship/closed environment. It is best just to leave this as a plot device to explain why they can't use ships, as we do not have a confirmed reason as of yet, and nothing logical seems to be the reason. It is theorized that the gift that the unknown "Her" gave to Providence was a way of being unaffected by this sickness.
Mithrix was not the ONLY person to make the lunar items, he actually had a lot of help from his followers, but he was the one to spread them.
The "Greater Gate" Mithrix talks about in the Commencement Log is actually the arena you fight him in! There was also a teleporter somehow already on the CL, though they did bring more on board.
There is actually a UES [REDACTED] which arrived at the planet sometime between RoR1 and 2. Not much is known about it, but we do know that REX was on that ship, not on the safe travels. They start in a drop pod purely due to gameplay. The bulwark portal was also altered by people on board this [REDACTED] ship.
The Void Reavers aren't space police, they just take what they want to better themselves and become stronger. I also didn't mention that the void juice gets turned into the gems we see around the map.
I said that the Artificer was looking for a way into a moment whole, but truly no-one knows how/why she was suspended. It seemed like the widely accepted theory at the time, but there isn't anything to suggest it. (thanks reddit 😒)
Anything else I got "wrong" I usually say ""I theorize this is the reason" which basically means there is no confirmed information why.
Hopefully this clears a few things up, and thanks for reading/watching!
Straight up, i listen to the OST, my husband plays the game, i don't know much other than Ukelele's, the music, and sometimes a funny funny glitch (Not for the person playing, funny for everyone else) I'm here for this let's go! ⚓
Great video! Fungal wastes music was a good choice too.
This is superb. Thank you for the work
It feels like Providence never learned that Mithrix began to hate him, and that he was staring at the moon thinking about his brother, and his words that he want Providence to be happy, Maybe Providence was staring at the moon because he somehow regret betraying mithrix, but know it was a good choice. Same as mithrix when dying, remembers his brother. I also dont think mithrix ever learned that providence got killed, i feel like Mithrix when dying regret that he didnt wanted to share same ideals as Providence, same as Providence was staring at moon out of sorrow for being seperated, i feel like in their final moments they both just regret their actions and that they wanted just wanted to be there for each other
Is this inspired by moss bag or do you like hollow knight because I think I hear some of the fungal wastes soundtrack
39:09 then along came rorr!
the hollow knight music in the background suits this lore for some reason
The gift, i believe, has something to do with the false son
Imagine RP'ing with 3 other people all in character based on who everyone picks
Watched this when it came out, and convinced me to buy the game. I didn't start playing it until very recently, and after becoming familiar with the game, rewatched this video and learned a lot. Probably one of my favorite videos on YouTube.
otherwise known as
"crash ship, kill random god."
"crash second ship, finish the job and kill the second god."
props to hollow knight background music
Just now realised void reavers want to capture you as a last resort when they die risking fals imprisonment on other creature since you are worth more to capture because you're so strong
plot twist- they are game devs, and thats why mithrix wants to use triangles
I appreciated the Human Fall Flat music
Free my nigga Mithrix man
mithrix was the first person ever to say "never let this man cook again"
Hearing that Human Fall Flat music in the background got me. Another one of my favorite games.
Great Mossbag cosplay!
Now we getting another DLC with more lore!!!
Sub, in hopes for a new vid for the upcoming content, I really enjoyed this. Hope you make more!
As someone who doesn't bother reading the in game lore, even in games with linear progression, this was very helpful. This is one of the few games that I actually care about the lore.
Also, what's the significance of the ukulele? It seems to be quite important to someone. Commando is often depicted with it, the art for "Terra Pulviam" shows an angry Providence throwing a ukulele into the well and a sad Mithrix, the art for "Arctic Osculation" is similar, with commando either pulling it out or putting it in the well and a shocked Mithrix, and few more examples. Also, its log says "and his music was electric". Whose music is it? So why is the ukulele so seemingly important to the two characters?
Hopoo games needs to expand on this lore especially stuff like the in between realm and the newt’s realm
What platform do yall play this on?
As Mithrix only permits the player to visit him after successfully activating mass, design, blood, and soul pillars, I wonder if they were a mechanism by which to ensure that his only visitor would be his brother, as he likely did not foresee the survivors' advent and understands that his brother is otherwise likely the only creature with soul powerful enough to access him in this manner. Of course, players aren't required to activate all 4 pillar varieties (likely for balancing purposes), but their alignment with the fundamental components of life and guarding by the lunar chimeras that are themselves incapable of activating them all seems to imply that the pillars are a screening method for Mithrix's audience admittance.
Void fiend is the he original commando after their “escape” from Petrichor v

Excellent video, very good 🙂
hello
Excellent video ! 👌
Wow. 999 comments, means i get 1k. Ez
1000 comments congrates!!
I love the story-driven explanations. Good shit
I was having a blast on my first playthrough on easy mode not knowing anything about the game,then i got to the stage where con lentitud ponderosa plays and I had to take in the music. massive shift of tone so i figured there had to be some mad lore for such a somber track.
Amazing video my friend!!
listen to lore on HK theme is always mesmerizing
the music in this game is so fucking good
I love how the void reavers just said “fuck it, take the entire moon”
I don't know if you'll ever see this, but what mod do you use to get your cinematic shots?
It makes so much sense! Especially when you free the aurelionite and mithrix says: THE GUARDIAN? IMPOSSIBLE!
Even with 860k veiews this is an underrated vifeo
personally because of how multiplayer works i always thought that as far as lore/canon goes, the seeming recurring characters had all landed as a group in ror1 and survived together, and then escaped after killing providence, and then signed up for the rescue mission. it just seems far fetched to be like “oh yeah this person has almost exact same weapons gear personality and talents as the last one and also same title and also that happened seven times”
Using hollow knight soundtrack in the background seems off, you could have used Risk of rain soundtrack itself (like coalescence)
