That's what's crazy

@@wyslanniknewworldorder9525don’t forget Gregory and Bob

@@artimus4198 IF Crazy Shootin will play in Rebirth, Machine of Pigs and Bunker what silly names the monsters will have?

This is inherent to the whole undead trope basically

@@bonechimesquad I mean, in the case of some of the ghouls from Rebirth and the Beast from Bunker, they're not actually undead.

Soma too, and also in Penumbra Dark Plague

@@gerardwolf8507the most dangerous monsters in soma were mutated for fish and squid btw.

that's a common trope in many games, even non-horror ones

true, it also does not reflect the lamp light so much in the dark and makes it harder to spot details in the dark then the regular

My thoughts exactly

I personally find the way they look so malformed deeply unsettling. Makes you think about what kind of sick torture would turn human eyes into that.

If only it wasn´t for the eyes, the eyes kind of make him look ridiculous and dull, especially when viewing him like this

You can also find a dead one

Mandus also says that he can't tell if they were once human and were turned into this, or if they were something from another world altogether that was crudely mashed into a form just slightly resembling humans Personally i like the second idea more because it makes them a lot more interesting and mysterious than just dudes who got turned into monsters

@@heresy8384 it's kinda...both? i can't link to it because youtube sucks, but there was a blog post on frictional games' website several years ago that basically confirmed it. you can search "Birth of a Monster Part 1: Creating Unspeakable Guidelines" if you want to read it, but here's the relevant excerpt: "The finalized idea was that these “servants” were actually beings from beyond that had been summoned into bodies of humans. Once inside humans, they did their best to deform the host into a body that they are used to control, shattering bones, tearing flesh and producing cancer-like growths."

don´t forget the leathery sounds while they move

I prefer the ones from SOMA. There's just something about technological horror mixed with body horror that gives it that extra sense or terror.

will do

I just wonder why their mutations all vary so heavily.

@@bleachedshadow9981 different iterations of this substance for the beast apparently rat dna contaminated the dark water, it is perhaps a form of impure/waste from vitae processing that mutates living beings as seen with the rats,they were roughly the size of a small/small ++dog so they must have had some exposure to this substance so the beast attempting to harvest some vitae isn't to far of a stretch if you read the files,the mental alterations do seem to suggest it became more perceptive/in tune to human emotional states such as pain and fear,the ww was the setting were these emotions were the most present in the frontlines as they were so said emotions empowering the beast to the point it could survive 2 bayonets through the chest+ multiple small to medium caliber bullets straight into his head

@@bleachedshadow9981This has been my personal theory since playing the Bunker and learning about Rebirth. The Ghouls and the Beast are one and the same, the Beast I believe is the true potential of Ghouls if they are not constantly drained for Vitae. I think if a group of them were set free to just kill they would all end up quite similar to the Beast. My thoughts for this are quite simple, the Beast is never drained for Vitae because he has no master at least not at this time. I also really like the idea that the Grunts and Brute (mooseman) are just “attempts” at creating Ghouls.

​​@@duckman9467That's a really good theory. I remember that scene in rebirth where Tasi kills Richard Fairchild and then the scene fast-forwards until Tasi wakes up in front of a machine that most likely is where ghouls go to have the vitae they extracted from their victims be transferred into their futuristic machinery and batteries. Imagine how interesting it would be to encounter the ankhari stones (used to control ghouls) in a future game.

@@catabc-rd8dy that would be wild, imagine this item can only be used for a short time before it needs to recharge or you gotta find more fuel for it and it makes the enemies not quite “friendly” but not entirely inclined to murder you

I think there is a statement of Daniel in a loading Screen text somewhere where he mentions that they reek of Blood and spiced Wine

@@umukzusgelos4834 Riiiight! I do remember that. Well reeking of Spiced wine could be worst. They could smell of old moldy socks like most semi exposed skin such as the the mouth would if exposed to air for long.. which it shouldnt. Sorry im going too deep I know but I studied this stuff xD

​@@umukzusgelos4834 Thanks for humoring me. Your videos are great!. Gonna sub and hit that bell 😅

@@AdamMerlin Thank You so much, glad people enjoy my freetime project and no worries, professional insights are always welcome

i still remember that clip of pewds jumping out the window with the chair

Finnish Amnesia Fans: Morso!

yeah, the brute spawn howl is still the worst. even after all these years :D

It´s all in the Works, I also want to eventually cover the Suitors and the Manpigs as well, but their models give me some struggle as they won´t always load correctly, we´ll see what comes round

This design is insanely overrated. It's not even scary. They just look goofy.

The only protagonists that have somewhat full models are Tasi from Rebirth and Henri from the Bunker. Although Tasi completely lacks a head and Henri's is untextured. Mandus, Daniel, and Justine only have hand models.

I´ve been thinking about that still working out how to present that though

​@@MiguelHernandez-lo5lgSimon has one too when you give him a mirror or something to sit or climb in

Thank you, I try to make them a little atmospheric when possible

I´m glad when people enjoy the Videos

they sure are an enigma in and off themselves I must say that I learned new things about them as I went over the Lore of the following titles as well, such as Machine for Pigs, were Mandus at one point even mentiones that his Manpigs just cannot bear to look at their reflection and the Manpigs shows signs of advanced intelligence, such as playing behavior or scribbling on a sheet of paper and considering that Mandus picked up Alexanders old research and had the corpse of a Gatherer delivered to him one can assume that this is a symptom they likely share... If things go the way I plan, then at one point I want to make a Manpig video were I want to address this in greater detail but we´ll see how things go Thank you so much for stopping by, I´m a little stunned by how many of these videos I have accumulated in this short period of time, but it´s a great way to get my mind off things

@@umukzusgelos4834 While the Amnesia games all do play in the same universe, I did not realise until watching this video and reading through the comments in here just how similar certain aspects can be. For instance, the otherworldy liquid that appear to infect living creatures and disfigure them, how creatures become to be, I had not even considered that this element might have been similar or perhaps even the same thing through these games, that's truly something! I am glad that these researches and video projects have a terapeutic effect on your mind, that is actually a very powerful and healthy drive to make content, and it also helps all of us viewers escape a bit from life and dip our heads into the depth of these rich horror games as well, looking forward to seeing the insight on the other entities and games as well!

the grunt shines when you only catch glimpses of him in the dark and hear him shuffle about, but the more exposed he get´s the more he looses the horror effect, especially in bright light were you can see his dead eyed stare going sideways It´s like this for most if not all monsters

will do

Suitors among others are currently in the works

You should acquire some sturdy doors then

​@@umukzusgelos4834 nah he just needs to replace all his Doors with closet Doors.

It´s the Remaster Mod by Florian, it comes with several Visual improvements and Overhauls including the Lamp

@@umukzusgelos4834 I will be copping.

Several are in the works currently, I want to cover the rest of the Monster Cast of The Dark Descent but also Machine for Pigs I have not abandoned SOMA and Rebirth either, though there is no particular order

@@umukzusgelos4834 thank you homie

Sadly no, I can only do these because I have the software for it

@@umukzusgelos4834 ah ok, keep up the good work!! 👍👍

Perhaps at one point

The Suitors have a shorter Sight range but yes, technically they aren´t blind, in Dark Descent all bipedal Monsters also have the same AI preset, which is why they all behave the same way, it´s just minor changes in their variables but no, I do not believe the Brutes were made by the Shadow, it has too many man-made supportive mechanisms on it for that to be a thing And I don´t see this otherworldly entity that leaves piles of red flesh everywhere as being too much of a mechanic

@@umukzusgelos4834 I find it unlikely the Brutes are also servants to Alexander. I am, however, accepting of being wrong. But let me explain why I think the way I do. The Brutes are victims of The Shadow. One of Daniel's diaries mentions the victims of the shadow have their heads split open, skin boiled, and limbs scattered. The brutes are also shown to be hostile toward the grunts, as one can be seen killed in the sewers and when you walk over to it, a brute spawns immediately after, who is strong enough to bring down iron bars and patrols the sewers. Alexander has never, ever, in the entire game, ever said anything that remotely suggests the brutes are his servants, but has mentioned gatherers before.

@@ZoofyZoof I can see why one would come to that conclusion but what throws me off the theory is that if they are servants to the Shadow, one would assume Alexander would be more concerned about their presence at Brennenburg and another Question would be as to when they arrived there and why they are exclusively found in the lower areas they also have, like the Grunt, the title of "Servant" in the game files and the way they are assembled and even the way they move, to me has Alexanders handwriting on it there is a Brute Video currently in the Making were I wanna touch on all this a little, maybe that will bring some interesting takes and theories with it

@@ZoofyZoof One of my favourite aspects in horror games is that there is a lot of room for speculation, and I would be happy to compare theories. I have also pondered a lot about the brute's origin, particularly with your quote in mind, where Daniel vividly describes similar attributes as to what we see in real-time with the brute. Regarding the sewers, I have changed my mind on a few occasions. I used to think the same as you, that the brute fought the grunt in the sewers, but it is at the very least equally plausible that the dead grunt was killed by the guardian of the orbs. When you enter the small room and find the mangled corpse, you will see that a lot of fleshy residue is consuming the room, and immediately, Alexander tells Daniel to turn back, as he is bringing this cursed entity with him. I think Alexander may have heard the grunt struggling and dying (Alexander and the servants seem to talk telepathically to each other in real-time, like "what, he escaped, where is he now?") and then moments later addressing Daniel to turn back. There are similar hints to grunts perishing to the guardian of the orbs, some more gory than others. In the refinery, we can glimpse a silhouette of a grunt passing through the central part of the refinery, and when you follow, there is a loud roar, and suddenly there are just skeletal remains where the grunt is estimated to have been. Similarly, in the large storage facility by the back hall, you will yet again see a grunt pass by and go deeper into the facility, and when you follow, it is gone, with just bones and blood laying infront of a door. I believe the bone and blood does not exist there until you witness the grunt going that direction, but I could of course be wrong about that, it has been a while since I played! So if we consider this and follow this trail of thought, the guardian of the orbs could swallow and consume entities in an instant, and we see this happening with Daniel and Alexander in the Aggripa ending, where the guardian of the orbs kills both of them instantly. In the Alexander ending, where he successfully leaves through the portal, Daniel is being tortured by the memories of his victims while he is seemingly tortured before you can see a long stripe of slash across his vision, possibly slashed into two? (Similarly to how you can see a grunt slashing you, leaving a claw mark, or a brute leaving a long slash mark). Something does not fully add up with the brute. Like Umukzus, I am fairly certain that the brute is primarily Alexander's doing, and while the grunt acts more like a general servant and perhaps personal body guard (and Agrippa mentions them working with reagents in the storage), I think that the brute, a more fortified and more armed version, is intended as a prison guard, offering a swift death to all the prisoners who managed to escape into the halls, and to otherwise greatly scare the prisoners. While I do not know if this is intentional, remember how Alexander made it so that prior to torture, nearby prisoners would hear those tortured so as to instill greater fear and anticipation, like with the brass bull having a pipe leading up to prison cells? The brute sounds a little bit like that. Whether or not that was the intention, I do wonder. The brute has a lot of features which is hard not to credit Alexander for, but Daniel's diary entry also is very intriguing. I have two personal theories for this. One of the theories is that the servant brutes (or brute, if there exists only one, we never saw more than one brute at the same time, if I recall correctly) stood in the way of the guardian of the orbs and suffered the fate of having the skull crushed and being boiled. I mean, that must have happened somehow, and that cannot have been a coincidence! Following this line of thought, could in fact the brute at one point have been a grunt which was boiled and expired, and Alexander reanimated it into what now is the brute? If you look closely, you can see that the brute for sure has undergone grotesque surgery. Its signature weapon has been affixed by surgical tools, and the other arm, along with both legs, have devices which I cannot decipher, but I can only assume they are there to aid limbs growing/sticking together. The leathery sounds heard from a grunt's walk has been replaced by metallic groans when the brute is near, at first I thought this could have been the weapon scraping along a surface, but it might be coming from those affixed devices. So after some thinking, perhaps the brutes were indeed victim of the otherwordly attacks, but was reanimated by Alexander of Brennenburg? I still think that both the grunts and brutes are under strict control of the baron, but I do like and appreciate your theory of the brute being controlled by the guardian of the orbs. The beauty in this game's universe is that we will probably never know, so trying out different theories is always exciting!

@@Radidsh It is implied that there is only one Brute, but due to how the game is coded, you can technically spawn many more than one. The quire, I think it's called, has several spawn points for Brutes. They don't despawn when they're hunting you. So if you keep one hunting you and activate those other spawn points, you can just spawn more brutes.

I am loving this reference! (Fortunately, I have not broken my Esc button!)

AMFP designs are underrated, manpigs are horrifying if you look at them closer. Like uncanny valley of some sort.

Machine For Pigs is currently in the works, but the Models refuse to load properly in this program, so I will have to work out something

The Brute will come on Thursday, the Water Monster I´m probably going to skip, because there is literally nothing to look at or I will make something different with it, I still have to think about it

@@umukzusgelos4834 I appreciate it

that would be a short one

It will come, will take some more time tough, I kind of started so many projects with these at once so that I´m struggling to get everything finished

most likely something similar to the Solution found in the Fountain of the Dark World and the Roman Tunnels in France

​​​​@@umukzusgelos4834 I hadnt made the connection between the games cuz of release distance. Thank you for reminding me of that Im really happy! Been wondering for more then a decade. The same Lambert drank out of view. I think? Dunno how he survived the bomb long enough to drink the blue water

@@AdamMerlin Well more strictly speaking I think what Alexander uses is some kind of supplement as he probabyl does not have access to the original, which could explain why his versions of a harvester are so drastically different and need external support such as leather straps or metal rods to keep them together it would explain why he was experimenting with so many high grade acidic Chemicals as shown by the Flashback early in the game I mean at one point he attempted to create artificial Vitae but I feel like that´s not all he did and in Machine For Pigs were Mandus picked up Alexanders old Research he at one point complained that one of his failed results corroded someones hands to stumps when trying to make the Manpigs, so I´d wager it must be some kind of acidic solution - that could also explain the sensation Wilhelm and his men had while drinking the wine

@@umukzusgelos4834 Oooooh! That makes so much sense now that you explain it.
