the lore probably makes perfect sense in Archmages and Ragoozers heads because they have the full knowledge of it, the problem is that the only time they share even a bit of it is randomly in discord

There is NO way the devs are commies with that 10 DOLLAR revive cost.

akira is the biggest potential man in deepwoken lore 0 feats 0 dives completed 7 times using Top Pop on union miners "when he go all out he can beat Klaris and Chaser!" "just wait until he wants to fight someone" "he is the strongest black diver" kill chaser and do something about the 93% L ratio? ❌ lay back in a wall and read a book✅ give me liberty give me fire give me walls to lean in or i retire "if" and "when" but never "is"

reacounteur on his 3/8th run of re wording how deepwoken lore doesnt work

I haven't even opened the video but I can hear " the lore changes depending on which dev you're talking to"

When you talk to the animal mantra guy in floor 2 he says Chaser is the strongest black diver except for Klaris and Akira. If a PVE build can 1 cycle grip Chaser then imagine what would happen to these two frauds.

5:05 She teaches you Dawnwalker? Aight, I might be tripping here, but I'm pretty sure she isn't a Lightkeeper. Iirc she was friends with one, and through this person Klaris learned to imitate their magic through the use of radiant tones (Dawnwalker/Lighthook magic.) But, even if she was a Lightkeeper, Dawnwalker is the closest normal people can get to Lightkeeper magic without being born with it, so she's literally only able to teach people the trial version. You can call her a bitch for making you pay her medallions to teach you, which is fair, but at the same time, handing out Dawnwalker to randoms who haven't proven themselves is likely to end badly. On a second note, Klaris doesn't know Chaser has gone rogue until after you tell her about him, and even then the time-loop over Layer 2 brings him back to life. There's literally no point in her going down there since killing him won't do anything. Real quick, A Deepwoken is someone who ate a piece of a drowned god, not someone who discovered an attunement. The tides aren't a punishment nor are they sentient, they're a symptom of the drowned gods stirring. The drowned gods also have no idea this is happening, and as such they have no opinion on the use of the song. The tides are happening as a result of the Deepwoken world's industrial revolution where everybody started spamming the song. So you're pretty much correct, capitalism fucked everything up, just in a different way. Finally, the Deepwoken world definitely was not our own considering the shape of the plane it exists in. There's no space or planets, the world just loops back in on itself. Theoretically, If you sail in one direction long enough, you'd end up in the heavens, which aren't actually another realm but part of the same physical space. The voidsea and voidfog prevent this from happening, however. Regardless, that's why going above the heavens still sends you to the Depths, as the Depths wrap around the world like a bubble, slowly growing inward, shrinking the available space and in the process causing the tides to rise.

Deepwoken lore: ❌🤓 Reaconteur yapping about the lore and all it’s flaws: ✅

captain orlando wasnt trapped with ethiron, ethiron was trapped with captain orlando

0:14 Proof that TMD(Too Much Deepwoken) will degrade the brain. As you can see here "Deepwoken Owl Mommy" was one of the top also watched things from people watching deepwoken lore videos. Now who would be interested enough in Deepwoken to watch its lore? Deepwoken basement goblins. And are goblins people? No, so your honor I would like to exercise my second amendment rights.

RAAAGHHH Noticed a small misconception: Celtor did NOT sink because of "greed". It was ENTIRELY bad luck and a little bit of Ministry manipulation. All sources used in explanation: Studies on Canticlysm XIV, Blindseer Writings, Contractor Dialogue Yun'shul claims that the city was 'offered up to them'. This lines up with the Lightkeeper Temple blindseer writings, claiming that in their time of need, Celtor took to the one dude promising them power and safety. What was their time of need? In Studies on Canticlysm XIV, it brings up the Songworker Revolution, which is where ancient Attunement Users who were in the lower classes were enslaved into constant magic usage to serve the greater people. Since scholars were all just guessing, the Songworkers became truly powerful due to their constant use and exposure to the Song and its magic. And thus, they indirectly overused the song during the revolution where they rose up and slaughtered each of their captors attempting to build a new empire through fire. Celtor, as you know, was a capital of trade and commerce. A bunch of wealthy people were obviously living there, and with all the magic slaves rising up they obviously started freaking out. So when a Ministry Prophet (most likely) showed up, claiming 'hey man, put me in charge i can protect you' they OBVIOUSLY took it, because the alternative was death. So the Ministry built the Citadel of Interstice, and used it as a ritual temple towards Yun'shul to offer the city up to the Celtorian Horror WHILE the tides rose around the world due to the songworker revolution. All of this information is ingame and does NOT rely on Rag or Arch loredumping in #general. The Ministry is quite literally pulling a Celtor Part 2 with Etrea, and using the same strategy may be the very thing that leads to the Ministry's downfall. NEVERMIND archmage just told me this is false because Celtor DIDN'T sink during the Canticlysm!!! AUGHFHGEHRFH

Bro might relate to pletsky with that meteor flower after bro started calling the ocean communist 😭

According to Agamatsu (who asked the devs), Lightkeeping isn't an actual attunement, and is more akin to a heavenly restriction. Klaris is a Dawnwalker that uses Radiant Tones in an attempt to mimic Lightkeeping.

It's me, dreadstar. From the depths. Ever read a lore book? Ever been to new kyrsa? Yeah

my headcannon for the dreadstar is that its an amalgamation of all the souls in the void sea (when the drowning happened)

tbh these videos you make, make me really wanna go into every dm and read every bit of lore and descriptions and rewrite all of it into a google doc and fix all the plot holes of deepwoken and post it into suggestions this games lore has so much potential if they just got someone to write the lore as their main job they would be fucking cooking hell ill do it I rlly love the possibilities deepwokens lore has

The railblade DOES protect you from the parasites, if you do a run without railblade equipped you will start gaining parasites after 3 minutes. While i managed several time to get parasites only after arriving in front of Chaser (10~ minutes) with railblade equipped.

You can always go to Library of Ruina, if you want to dunk on a different game

Next title: Deepwokens lore is absolute dogshi-

Raconteur explaining not knowing what deepwoken lore is for the 394829482048th time:

''killing the trainers is useless since they can escape the depths and it doesn't really matter'' the shadowcast trainer in question:

0:14 FELLAS, i feel like that owl video DOES belong there

It makes no sense that the chef oath isnt added yet

Why does every canonical deepwoken character name sound goofy

Also 100 charisma is literally fucking King from one punch man, why didn't your cultured ahh bring that up

Did you analyze the owl mommy video?

to fix the issue in general it would be so cool to add early/mid/end-game quests that explain some lore.

Dreadstar just seems like an entity that's fueled by powerful emotions like vengeance given he doesn't even appear until you get killed by an attunement user, he then only provides his power if your worthy, so what's likely happening is he feeds off your rage and pain from your revenge fueled slaughter, manipulating you behind the strings to further grow in his own strength, since when you kill all the trainers he becomes part of you.

you covered most of it but there were a few left out parts I'm not going to cover Klaris since there are other comments explaining that. The reason Akira is at castle light to begin with is because he is waiting for his next assignment from the markor citadel, and he has confirmed that most of his work doesn't concern the first layer. the reason neither he or Klaris go down to kill chaser is because of the time loop that layer 2 has as chaser would just come back I think the main reason he doesn't kill us with his bell with the charisma dialog is because he either doesn't want to use his bell to kill us as he worries about the backlash or he just thinks we are an idiot and not worth his time. don't take this too badly i just wanted to fill in some parts that got left out

The issue with the argument about Chaser underutlizing his powers is that it could be said for literally anything. Why can't Frostdraw users freeze over the entire ocean? Why can't Flamecharm users burn down entire islands? Why can't Thundercall users insta-fry everyone's brains? Why can't Galebreathe users explode/implode everyone's lungs?

thundercall and frostdraw may have been created by celestials cause i think a dev said that not all attunments have drowned god for it and the navaen people use frostdraw so they may have learned it from the celestials but idk thats just my theory

3:27 theoritically though its probably not documented since other attunements seem a lot older in the lore than flamecharm

This was one hell of a roller coaster

At 2:20, I believe what the developers were trying to portray when creating the Ignition Union is something called a Workers Co-operative, basically a corporation/company that isn't managed by a "manager" per se in most cases, but rather by democratic vote and popular consensus, as compared to regular companies which comply to the will of share-holders, upper management, corporate, et cetera. But nobody is going to know that off of the top of their head unless they've worked in one or if they're a poli-sci/history major.

Am I the only one that thought the ignition union was an actual workers union that protested against the summer company in verse 1?

people will always say "iT's nOt a sToRy gAmE" but if that's the case why would they put all that time into making lore if it doesn't have anything to do with the gameplay in any way shape or form

1:41 If you use railblade in layer two, the railblade crit burns off parasites.

BRO REALLY SAID WHY KLARIS DOESNT TEACH US LIGHTKEEPER ATTUNEMENT WHEN its lore is that u can only obtain it by being chosen and born with it.

Some things I know (relevant to this video) from occasionally lurking the Wiki for lore, someone correct me on anything I'm wrong about. -------------------------------------- I don't think Klaris is gatekeeping anything besides maybe light hook. All she's done is imitate the Radiant Tones which are a verse of the song which is only speculated to have been used by true lightkeepers and she uses it for combat, which she teaches us in the form of Dawnwalker. It wouldn't matter if Klaris went down there or sent Akira, the reason he's such a problem is cause down their in Layer 2 exist time dilation so he's stuck in a loop no matter how many times he's killed. It's why we're able to farm him. There isn't a drowned god for each attunement so their needing to be a deepwoken for each attunement isn't correct. Also means, humans creating ironsing and then being punished for that with the tides doesn't make sense. Also, the tides are aren't sentient, they're a natural disaster that is caused when a Drowned God is nearly woken up from their sleep. This is also how the drowning happened, mankind abused the song, were too loud and almost woke up the drowned gods, causing them to stir in their sleep, disturb the waves, and drown the old word, bringing upon us the Deepwoken world we play in now. Yun 'shul is the keeper of hearts, he manipulates the way your soul resonates with the song so it's pretty safe to assume he is not the Drowned God of shadow cast and neither is the first layer connected to that attunement, although he does acknowledge the ministry. There's only 9 layers of the depths, there's no double digit layers. While only speculation, I think it makes most sense that the Dreadstar is an amalgamation of souls wronged by the song. Which is why you yourself must have a hatred and seek revenge towards those who use the song to be able to take the silentheart oath. -------------------------------------- Deepwoken's lore, while confusing and all over the place and in no way is it presented to you on a silver platter, it at the very least doesn't suck. This shit is honestly very interesting to look into, had fun rereading over some stuff to be able to confirm and type all this out.

Pleeksty canonically has a jawline

Is the any lore on miserables? Seems weird how there is just an owl in layer 2 that can randomly one tap the same person that can beat the scion of ethiron, not only that but they can for some reason reduce the power of a drowned gods avatar casually for the cheap price of 5 medallions implying that they could do even more if they tried?

13:00 In some of the dreastar dialogue it refers to itself as “we” and “our”, I’m unsure if it means itself and the player but before the you join the dreadstar it still refers to itself as “we”, my personal theory is that they’re just a collection of verse 1 shattered katana attunement-less user’s souls brought into a husk drawn to it by they’re hate of the 1 thing they couldn’t do.

Why dont bells actually play a note of the song, theres 12 notes in the scale plus sharps and flats, i wanna make a symphony in deepwoken 😩

thankyou Nuclear reactor for telling us Deepwoken Lore STILL Makes NO SENSE...

maybe power in deep is just determined by insanity and the reason korfiend can talk to flames is because he ate a part of the dumb dead lava dragon and had a really big headache(severe psychosis) (Prolly had an 80 willpower build w/ loose your mind and piercing will too)

Im pretty sure may be wrong that klaris is not an light keeper since she mentions she got inspired by it not that she can use it her is radiance

i feel like there needs to be a separate deepwoken experience that is a first person horror experience of the depths

10:20 i am the drowned god that created frostdraw. You dont gotta worry about it

Reacmlerst is already on his 97th go of “why deepwoken lore doesn’t make sense”

Another thing is that some of deepwokens lore is tied into greek lore (ichor, references to greek gods in name selection etc) i have ae feeling they can do way more with that overall.

they really really need someone to manage this lore

1:40 im pretty sure the railblade is meant to be paired with the arcwarder suit, which is for protection agaisn't the eternal gale, im not sure but i think it even has a heater in to prevent the growing of parasites also, the railblade doesn't protect you from parasites ingame most likely for gameplay reasons, it would be a bit too op if for just wielding a weapon you'd be inmune to the parasites and could just chill in the eternal gale until the end of time

Navae is the protector/probably creator of ice and shadow which is why nomads use it, shadowcast is most likely related to the depths and thats why u dont see shadow nomads

the duke of erisia was the most entertaining "lore" shit in the game and they completely fucked him over with his shitty bossfight. loved him as a character, hope he gets a fight rework sometime.

Thank you raconter i dont know what going on in this lore anymore

I love you videos vro they are so funny keep doing great stuff!

the dreadstar and yunshul are linked and it gives yunshul your heart hence the term keeper of hearts

0:20 how'd he get the sub button to glow??

So what you're saying is that we should bring back Felinor discrimination cause it would make the lore better?

Yunshull could possibly be the drowned god of water... considering it has been said to make users go insane and lose their humanity, the first layer is under water and filled with sea creatures: jellyfishes, crabs, sharks, lionfishes... and the entire gimmick of the first layer is that you go insane, specifically when closer to the shrine of yunshull, so....

The most likely reason why Akira isn't sended to the layer 2 would simply be bceause he's is portecting and clearing the research area's.

isnt the blood attunement other people too like maybe he cant get yours because you won't let him but he has divers on hooks giving him fuel for his attunement and since they are already dead they are free blood for him

What happened to the every legendary weapon video

The same thing could be said about lifeweave being made man. As it was an artefact before man started to play with it.

"We should improve society somewhat." "Yet you still live in it! Curious."

the fact that some of this makes sense, it hurts my brain

Did he analyze the deepwoken ASMR lore

Could you imagine if they buffed Chaser to use Blood Weapons and other objects

reaconteur my glorious king

true fact npc arcwarders can somehow have enchanted railblades, isnt that crazy?

When interrogation mantra for light weapon

Akira on fraud watch after receiver called him out on being dr potential man himself

The lore makes no sense because theres not multiple kinda apples 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎

The Ignition Union is a ploy to disguise the millions of dollars the devs made, trying to make the devs look like degens with no money. Amogus Pleektsy is the first one to do such act of doing drugs, many of the layers below are intertwined with above. (eg. Erisia still having access to the forgotten flame of Layer 3, etc.) So pleeksty was probably just a random homeless guy that found a cool ass looking flower and ate it to become one with the song. (in my opinion there is probably an actual lore relating him to skipping into layer 3 using a contraption and then eating some cool ass flowers there) Klaris uses the song to MIMIC Lightkeeping, she isn't a lightkeeper herself. Also she DOES teach it to other people (including you) in the combat form of Oath magic called "Dawnwalker". If Klaris did go down there, who would pull her back up? Because you know damn well the Ignition Union wouldn't. Akira studies Layer 1 and is kind of a bitch meaning he wouldn't go down. Akira's powers only work on people less strong than him, so with 100 Charisma he thinks you are this almighty god that he has no chance to fight with. Chaser is on-par with Akira, so his bell wouldn't work. Chaser probably can only use blood he can physically see, only reason for them to be on glass jars. (though how the FUCK did he get like 60 glass jars down there without people being suspicious of him wtf) Frostdraw is based on Scyphozia, though, water magic is the power of monsters, so they had to somewhat change it up to atleast get close to Water Magic. We can presume Drallis Ehr is a deepwoken of Yun'Shul since he can control water, yet threw away his humanity to achieve it. Some layers could be where both of one attunement was found, and it doesn't have to be exactly in the depths, Ironsing was found in the surface. Though, Shadow is probably in Layer 9 or something since all of that "at first there was light and dark" sort of bullshit. Arch and Rag already have plans for Layer 9. A theory is that the gods were not related to a certain element, and are beings of pure song that got corrupted with overuse of certain attunements, which would explain how Yun'Shul could be the drowned god of both Frostdraw and Shadowcast, and that there is no drowned god for Ironsing as it was developed on the surface later on. There is basically no lore on silentheart, though it probably is a good being because his actions would stop the current Luminant to collapse. Or he just hates magic users. Also silentheart users should in no way be able to use bells, since they block the song and bells are a manifestation of the owner's song.

we need a 10 stages frostdraw video 🥺

old deepwoken, before the dvm nerf.. these clipse gives me old memories

yo idk what the lore is but what are those voices talking to you when u do depths trial is the dread star the voice of dread or sum idk also ik that voice of sequestration is bad asf

"i hate klaris" all of their accounts being dawnwalker in question:

it doesn't take ether to use a railblade crit

Nuclear Fission in a Reactor, I wholeheartedly agree with this entire video. Thank you for the content, and if arch and rag don't fix the lore to your beautiful visions, I will slaughter.

This one's sanity must have already crumbled

10:39 but isnt the dude that makes the potion for ironsing born eith it and wanted to se if it was recreatable?

Recounter please talk about more lore and your W takes. You should talk about some mob lore like the sharkos etc because there are some books that have info on the monsters.

do not ever give the deepwoken devs a firearm

Lancelot vs Lord Regent would be a fire fight ngl

Celestial goddess navae created Frostdraw and can do whatever with it. I am pretty sure celestials can also be gods for attunments

This is honestly really cool, but how would we have known any of this If not for this video?

Ik this is unrelated but type soul is back will you play it back or stick to deepwoken?

The lore is such a mess that I’d say the only “stable” lore we have is that Meatlord is agreed upon to be the most powerful character in the games universe. Hell, even this became debatable once Destroyman III was added (despite the fact that one of Destroyman’s quotes talk about how everyone, which likely includes himself, will be in mortal peril once Meatlord’s perception of meat is blurred and thus suggests even he fears Meatlord.)

the part about klaris sending people down doesn’t make sense because klaris herself says that black divers are driven by their own ideals

Coming back from the future yeah the railblade is enchantable now 🤣

I think I said to talk about something you like. I literally do not understand the mess of the games lore myself lol.

My man arch mage don't want to finish deeepwoken lore already 💀💯🔥

i genuinely cant tell if this is satire this is jst a wild ass video

Necroposting but deepwokens arent people who discovered an attunement they are people who ate a piece of a drowned god and gained immense power of that drowned gods preferred attunement

Railblade doesnt use flamecharm it uses the steam from the blade to make flames

pleektsy being a schizophrenic has gotta be the most insane yet based theory of all time

they should give the railblade the winter corps parka perk of resisting the gale

Legendary weapons are unenchantable in lore in because they are “imbued” with an attunment, rail blade is imbued with an attunemnt, but in a different way, you funnel ether into and that ether is turned into an attunment, so there both Imbued with an attunment, except one is automated and artificial and the other isn’t, but the actual reason they can’t be enchanted is still the same
