200 Pulls no Muelsyse btw

For anyone who hasn't been following the Endfield development, that "Door" is a portal to Talos-II

My favorite part of this event is CW-ST-4's final scene, When Kristen answered Friston's question with another question, "What do they inevitably mean, and what is it, that life ultimately seeks?" Then story ends, you will be left confused and curious about the answers.... untill the answer is handed right over to you along with the medal, "The Future." "The only destined meaning and the ultimate pursuit of life"

Lone Trail is honestly peak fiction! It’s amazing how Arknights can take so many different genres of storytelling/themes and make them mesh so well together into one beautiful universe 🙏

It's hard to not assume that Lowlight, in his HQ, have this one massive room with a lot of folders, documents, whiteboards, pins & notes, containing all of what has been released so far in terms of Arknights lore and character in order to keep track on how each of it connects to each other. It's an understatement to say that they care about their lore at this point. To them it's as real as the history we have here on Earth and the encyclopedia they made proves this. Mind you, most gacha games have events where they celebrate stuffs such as Valentines, Christmas, Summer, etc., with feel good non-canon stories just to pad out time before they release the next installment to the Main Story. We don't have anything resembling that so far. Do remember that us in Global had to celebrate Valentine's with fucking Vigilio as it's mini-event. And our Summer events has us discovering remote locations within the world as a form of reprieve, discovering it's inhabitants and their way of life and the problems that they deal with while living in that place. On top of that, we're entering the 5th year with several countries still not explored and with Endfield potentially providing us a glimpse in our future; all while we're still reliving the past on some events, and dealing with all the problems in the present with the Main Story. tldr: We're in for a long, wild ride.

In CW-10 After Kristen says: "6972 Meters. If you fly straight up at this angle, as long as you can soar past that height, the Galleria Stellaria will no longer be disturbed by any ionization reactions." In other words, 6152 meters doesn't seem to be where the barrier itself exists - it's where its effects become catastrophic for whatever enters it. Compare it to a magnet: the barrier would be the magnet, and 6152 meters would be where the magnetic field becomes dangerous once you get that close. P.S. Saria mentions (also during CW-10 After) that GS instruments are failing because of interference, to which Kristen notes "there's still a thousand meters to go".

I never thought that a "Side Story" will not only have a big impact to the main story but also have one of the best story I've ever read peak writing over here ladies and gentlemen

The reveal for The Preserver and even hints about the doctor's past and his people gave me chills when I was reading through the event. This event really is one of the best, it had a lot of satisfying payoffs, hints about the future of the story for both our characters and for Terra, and the best part is that this is a link to Endfield. I love this game so much.....

I read the lore of this event and i seriously could not get over the fact - Kal'tsit was an AI that has become both spectator and played crucial role in the world of terra for more than 10.000 years right alongside us before & after we entered the Sarcopaghus - The unfathomable truth that our kin were preserved for a damn thousands of decades and with their life force being converted into an energy to supply the weapon that Kirsten used to breach the skies of Terra, has ironed the fact that we are the last of our previous kin - The fact that Originium itself is some sort of a evolution concept that was deemed necessary to happen in order for life in terra to evolve & adapt - Was seriously not expecting that the Teekaz which now we've known more familiarly as the Sarkaz was the true inhabitant of terra and those other races who came after them was the result of the Originium (Did humans and Sarkaz lived alongside before the great catastrophe happens which resulted the Sarkaz to take over the population of terra as the humans goes into full hibernations i'm not sure either) -The fact that something sus indeed was happening somewhere in the "North" possibly the border where Sami is? and that giant ass portal we see in the IS#4 background teaser really makes me eager to dig in what surprise an twist that awaits in IS#4

One other interesting thing was how the old race that Doctor, Priestess etc belong to colonized Terra during the process of escaping from 'something' IIRC. I wonder what that insane outside threat is...

I was very happy when Kal'tsit talked about how the biggest issue is people not working together. That has always been one of the most commonly reoccurring themes in Arknights. Problem could be solved much easier but someone's stuborn selfish motive just makes things way way worse. This is why every single possible interaction between players in game is always mutual benefit, the game promotes cooperation. This also why Arknights should never EVER be allowed to have pvp because that would go against the very message of the game.

for those who want more context of the black crown and ama-10 kaltsit, their modules (Kaltsit and Amiya) gave even more lore of how they are related to this ancient civilization

Thanks for making the lore easily digestible. Lone Trail easily met all the hype it was getting and is definitely peak Arknights story!

I honestly didn't expect the Doctor's actual origin. Yes, I thought he was an alien or an ancient being, but not that (mind blown). And Kirsten's backstory is a great nod to the real Wright brothers. HG even threw a bit of Icarus' myth there, seeing that the Wrights also lost their lives for attemtping to reach the sky.

It’s awesome how they managed to create countless amazing storylines with their own messages & satisfying endings all while dropping the biggest lore bomb in the story of Arknights. This is my new favourite event, it was hella peak

Legitimately, Lone Trail has set Arknights' Lore Goals higher than ever with it being essentially one of the largest lore nukes set in the story, from revealing that the Doctor predated all of Terra, to finding out that both PRTS and Max are AIs and made by Friston, HyperGryph has set the stage for bigger and more lore heavy events near the future aswell as revelations.

So in the JP ver. When Kal'tsit told Friston about the Black Crown Kal'tsit : " Lord of Fiends " As the ancient Teekaz people called it. Friston : ティーカズ?... 人? あの奇妙な固有生命体? ( Teekaz ?... People? those odd endemic lifeform? ) 人 : people, man, person, human being EN just : Teekaz ?... those odd endemic lifeform? All this time we think that races in Terra are people with animal features, but for Friston race ( human ) it's actually the other way around It's a LIFEFORM with HUMAN FEATURES that's why Friston having the question mark when Kal'tsit said " Teekaz people ". Friston also referred Kristen as odd lifeform with human shape It's like in real life we human see Orangutan or Chimpanzee, we don't consider them as human with animal features, but as animal with shape/features like human if that makes sense. What we still don't have info is wether the Teekaz is already have human features when the Friston race ( human ) came to Terra or the Teekaz still a lifeform looks similar like the Aggeloi in Endfield and slowly evolving. If this true this could explain about Mephisto got reverted back to a bird in Chapter 8. Edit : CW-10 After

one very interesting thing about that door is that surt's notes, where she catalogs her "memories from other people" she talks about a door in the north that cant be opened "Snowy mountain, a barren snowy mountain, unending snowy mountains. Castle, stone castle, tower, unopenable door."

this event really was insane it had so much good stuff it had stunning background arts gameplay wise we got one of the most wanted operators and we also have gotten so many important lore drops this event cant wait for either is4 to explain whatever the icefields are really about or even better another big event like this but for that part

Kristen is a mad genius respect making her dream possible Fake sky Sarcophagus Ancient ai god Columbian ai president everything is peak in lone trial Also priestess arrival hint about originium

It's impressive how a simple gatcha has such a rich and impressive history. The truth is that this event blew my mind (insert gif blowmind) The sky of terra, the northern gate and the threat of the seaborns in the sea, my head can't handle so much battle front

The way “Talos” is written makes it seem like it is the star in the middle of its star-system. This would then make sense with “Talos 2” as the way it is written denotes it as the second planet from its star (Talos). I haven’t finished Lone Trail, but I am excited to see where this goes.

Lone Trail. Beautiful, a story just beautiful, one whose elements and reveals properly paced while incorporating on a greater narrative. I really am excited for Expeditioner's Jqlomarkar(?) and Friston-3 to drop.

Let’s also mention the fact that when Hoo Hoo was in a VR simulation of Friston’s memories, she saw a giant circular object in the sky and asked “Is that… Terra?”

now i get it why that certain writer said on twitter that Arknights lone trail hit the NASA punk hundred times better than starfield

We all be patiently waiting for the Event in around October this year which has even more crazy lore drops.

So Doctor and Kal'tsit are confirmed to be living fossils and was alive for at least 13,000+ years. That's crazy!

Now Im more interested in the next Laterano event. In one part Friston mentioned that someone (another AI, The Law?) turned one part of the sarkaz against the others. Im guessing, bribering them with a secure life full of apple pies and guns to get the repressing job done.

Finished the story last night. Holy moly what an event. Not just lore, but plot and story between people.

Lets go Quaiser! Even tho I read the lore myself, I always like to check your videos anyway. Since space/sky holds special place my heart, the lore was banger.

I just absolutely adore this event and the lore it gave us. This isn't simple "worldbuilding" and a friend called it "TERRA-forming." And I am honestly inclined to agree. Bad pun aside, it was revealed that a lot of the world of Arknights was indeed engineered. Including Originium. Through this, our complete understanding of this world was transformed beyond everything we considered before. And I am scared of IS4 because it stands to further expand on all of it.

Fossil-exwife is actually fossil-exmaid(attendant). What a twist 10/10

Actually, correct me if I am wrong, the hyper weapon they coment about in lone trail is the shard, the shard in the story has yet to activate, what caused the destruction was a very powerful revenant, what Tin Man is.

Lone Trail is so far, the most amazing story in Arknights for me. Not only does it have soooooo much lore, it also reawakened my dormant fascination of space. I always felt this feeling of fascination towards celestial bodies in my childhoood which I just kinda forgot over time. But Lone Trail, with its story and the great OST, reawakened that. Not sure how this fascination would progress over time but for now, I'm just happy with the reunion.

Cool video so far, thank you for explaining cool lore of AK for those in communty, who can't read a tons of text, but still curious about it

Yo thank you so much for this video @QaiserGAMES ! this event has been an absolute ocean of lore that was really hard to navigate so your video like always was super helpful

Lone trail was 10/10

So it does mean that kalsit is unable to kill the doctor even if she really wanted to. PRTS is pulling her string and does not allow that

Lonetrail was by far the best event and your video helped me undersatnd it even more! Thank you very much! I look forward to more AK lore

Thank you for providing us with the story summary. It's helped a lot to understand what's going on in the event. One new subscriber sir!

Thank you for creating the Lone Trail. You truly the lore master of Terra!

this what i have been waiting for... story summarized

Well, I mean Terra might respensent terra forming and Doc and his kind just trying find a place to live traveling from 1 word to another. Different race could be genetics engineers to give them a better body to cop with the new world. The orginum might be the item to terra forming the world but went wrong hurting the world and the people. That my 2 cent 😁

what in the jawbreaking reveal that i watched rn. never thought HG had a insane scriptwriter for this game

Thanks for your work!

What are your thought's on ho'olheyak's role and lore reveal here near the end, personally i love how she joins us last minute because we are her last strand of hope xD

It was definitely a slog to sit through at times, but man was the lore i got worth it. Gonna be honest though, you're helping me a lot since i couldn't sit through the latter half of Kal's interaction with Friston. Went over my head damn near completely.

Thank you for doing Arknights lore videos!

You know, just listening to the story of this event again and to the music of it is enough to make me excited. The excitement to know the truth, to root for Kristen's success. The final scenes with Kristen are just breathtaking. It's so well made with the visuals, the music and the context that it's really hard not to cry (as a grown up adult). It's like a very good movie with a very touching story. I really like Lone Trail a lot.

It's crazy how essential the lore of this side-story is for the whole of arknights, doc and Kals past alone had my jaw on the floor.

I think the south that they are reffering to are the foehn hotlands a.k.a. the wasteland beyond the Sargonian deserts, since the north is most probably the infy icefields and the 'Door' is probably the portal in IS4 fourth ending as reveald in CN

Literally sounds like it’s post-apocalyptic Earth over 13,000 years later

I was waiting for this lore video

A side theme in Lone Trail is about Loneliness, Mumu and Doktah both realized their entire race are extinct and thus both found bonding with each other.

Even watching this video AFTER reading the story I get a big stupid grin on my face for the hype. Thankyou for distilling the important bits!

Absolutely insane lore drops covering nearly every aspect of the mysteries in the Arknights universe - the origins/causes of the Doctor, the sarcophagus, the precursor race, the native races and the Sarkaz, Originium, oripathy, wars and conflicts, Terra's astrogeography, space, the single moon, advancements in energy and technology... Interesting tidbit at the end of the satellite arrays around Talos being capable of manipulating geoproperties of Terra... doesn't that sound like the Catastrophes? Who built them and put them there, and are those perhaps responsible for them, and is that why we go to Talos-II in Endfield?

Amazing event 10/10 but let's be honest the event if you read with 1x was like 8 hours event amazing how they have so many ideas, that's a w for HG

Thx for the video!

Finally!!! I WAS WAITING FOR IT LET'S GOOOOOOO

17:30 I think we already know what they're referring to from the Endfield and its closed beta. Basically theres a direct portal to Talos II where the story of endfield takes place, roughly 500 years after Arknights story.

So….to recap. Here is just a SMALL list of what got revealed in this event story: Terra is the Earth we all know and are familiar with, approx 13,000 years following an unknown apocalyptic event The doctor and Priestess are humans from this civilization preserved for thousands of years in stasis chambers known as sarcophagi These stasis chambers apparently can produce an amount of energy unrivaled by any conventional originium furnace or tech that current Terra possesses. And that’s just for ONE sarcophagus The Doctor and Priestess knew each other in their prior lives and it is implied they were in a relationship, likely romantic Kaltsit is some kind of android or immortal created being that was created by the people from the ancient Earth civilization Priestess has some kind of control over Kaltsit and physically “programmed” her to be unable to tell the Doctor about his past or relationship to Priestess. Kaltsit’s age is not confirmed to be also roughly 13,000 years old from this info, maybe slightly younger as she was created very close to the start of the calamity that ended the ancient humans. One of these ancient humans is named Friston and he essentially volunteered to commit Minecraft server exit in order to be turned into a digital recreation of his mind and watch over hundreds of thousands of other sleeping ancient humans in sarcophagi who were out there as a kind of “Ark” of sorts to rebuild after the calamity ended. Once the calamity started Friston lost contact with the outside world, but tried sending out signals to reach the outside and ascertain how the state of the world was. However, when he tried this all he heard on the other end were explosions and screams for literal hundreds of years without end. Eventually after thousands of years being constantly awake and conscious, Friston gave up on his mission to preserve the ancient humans for eventual reawakening and abandoned the project and dooming the humans in the sarcophagi to slowly die. It is implied the ancient humans somehow “raised up the animals of the earth” and created all the animal-human races of Terra we know today. This may also be why some of the most ancient beings in Arknights are creatures like Emperor and President Max who look like just talking animals. They may have been the first stages of creating the modern humanoid-animal races that now exist. The Sarkaz were once known as the “Teekaz” and were “the original inhabitants of Terra”, meaning that once the Earth was transformed from what it once was into the Terra we know today, the Sarkaz were the first of the humanoid races to exist. (Also, presumably the Sankta too because it is stated at one point the Sarkaz and Sankta were once one race) There is a literal transparent barrier around the entirety of Terra that prevents anything from entering space There is a giant portal located at the North Pole of Terra. This is the portal that operators use to reach Talos in Arknights Endfield Something happened in “the south” (presumably the South Pole) that caused Friston to refer to it as “fallen” Terra does not have 2 moons, it is in fact the Moon of the Earth we are all familiar with that got distorted into looking like two moons due to the properties of the sky barrier refracting light Originium was created with….some purpose that is referred to as “unity” and causes “one to experience a higher plane of being”. However, the disease known as “Oripathy” was an unintended side effect of originium We once again get a reference to how there’s something super, ultra, mega dangerous in the depths of the Sea of Terra Astrology and astronomy on Terra have been very stunted fields of study because the sky barrier causes observations of the night sky to be skewed

Literally the best story Arknights has ever released imo. One plot hole that I can't get over is that if the stars are always changing and were deemed as nonsense. What the fuck did people use to travel way back in the day. There's no way they could travel the seas or even the land without any guidance

Welp, Kristen is a Perro, so her parents are also Perros, no Vulpos :3

Arknights lore is insane, can't wait for more reveals

new qaiser vid me good day

I hope you do an event and chapter summary. Love to hear those

This event was so insanely good that it will honestly be very to go back to normal events or even main story episodes. Just a simple straight 10/10.

I think there was Trevor Friston name on a grave in Endfield

tbh this is one of the best story so far. i manage to read it all without getting bored

Just imagine, imagine if this side story become an anime. Maybe not anime, but a whole live action movie from the start (Main story) and then this, dude.. that would be the peak of CINEMA right there!!

BTW! Great video as always!!! CHEERS!!

I'd hate to pull the "nanomachines" or "grey goo but crystallized" card here since that's ALWAYS the easy way out of a post-apocalyptic fantasy. Originium is cited to be an energy source, an amplifier of arts (not magic) so in it carries a sort of forward momentum of energy in various forms. Originium behaves like cancer. it sounds like an accelerated growth/evolution with a self-contained source of energy. Perhaps when "Human" civilization ended, originium accelerated the evolution of other forms of life on the planet. Maybe the barrier was a means to contain originium within Terra so it doesn't get wasted into space (since originium can fall from the "sky" as well. It might be a Horizon Zero Dawn type of unintentional thing that was originally meant to accelerate evolution but there was no means to stop it (hence oripathy). Oripathy also turns people into dust after a while which fits in with the acceleration, this time of decay. Just a theory.

Originium’s goal is unifying everything into a higher form of existence? Ahhh… MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD

Perhaps, Originium may be created by the corpses of its own civilization and its duty is to seed life across the world of Terra. So all races across the world, animals get human DNA and knowledge installed in the animal and uplift humans like sentient beings. This may include the myth races with birth from these as well. Teekaz may be survivors of old civilization who are heavily mutation by the catastrophe and rather trigger further evolution by the Originium. By other races who came after...Might be released by someone who wants new races to populate the Terra. The Sarkaz were defeated by the new races, this war might be triggered by someone in the shadow.

Imagine the Space that we see thru the crack in the Barrier is the ceiling of another Barrier lol. So Friston Soul Bombed the sky with the HAMHRR by sacrificing all his ppl huh? Aside being a shitty attendant, the question is then, if all of Terra's energy supply wasn't enough to power HAMHRR, then how many sarcophagi or how much energy was reserved in the power bank to be able to do that? How advanced was Dokutah's race? Did they come from Talos-II to colonize Terra?

This might as well be a pt1 of 10 kind of video.

Wait so if there was a barrier that prevented anyone from leaving, then how the seaborns were planning to take off into space after consuming everything on terra? Was the barrier created just to keep them in?

Yeah, finally I can understand what it was about

This event was just an insane bombshell of lore all around. There's still lots unsaid, unexplained and lots to be discovered, but at the same time holy hell does it reveal so many things about Terra, Kal'tsit, the Doctor...

I'M GOING INSANE OVER THESE LORE REVEALS AND I HAVE BEEN FOR WEEKS.

Thank youuuuuuu

for anyone who hasn't been subscribe to this guy, what are you doing? he has work so hard to tell the summary of lone trail event lore that I bet some of us wouldn't gonna read em all and might not even understand it. support him!

13:16 Spoiler on CN Babel Event: . . . . . . . . . . . Friston wasn't lying, it really is unification. Unifying everyone into a shared consciousness to be peaceful without fear of the threat of Observers. Hypergryph really is cooking.

Humans confirmed

It all makes sense, we got no news of the Arknights Endfield till like around the Arknights Lone Trail, idk, but maybe, it’s a coincidence idk. But we all definitely know that this event plays a huge role for Endfield

MY THEORY WAS CORRECT THERE WERE HUMANS WITHOUT ANIMALISTIC TRAITS IN TERRA although I guess it's up to Dokutah to continue the original humans bloodline

Oh how I've missed this one

maybe we're going somewhere with this, We spent two years in the South (Under Tides, Sultifera), now we're in Columbia, maybe we'll start moving up North (Preserver did talk about the monsters of the South we all know about but he also mention a rift in the North )

there were a couple other reveals... the "moon" might actually be where the people of terra come from. there's also a pretty interesting 'interview with muelseye' (the wet elf waifu) that discusses how there's a originium reaction outside the starpod, and hints that some catastrophes form outside of it, but the crystals that form go right through. as if unimpeded. though I suppose this interview isn't part of the event. it was just tweeted out by the AK peeps. oh and the research notes we unlocked during the event seem to suggest that the stasis chamber was discovered after the events of the story. Nasti's secret bunker was also discovered. so there's solid evidence against the lab that this was pre-meditated by more than just kristen. whether or not that becomes a key plot point, who knows.

Originum unification reminds me of the instrumentality project from Evangelion.

I think originally there two portals south and north but south got destroyed but lion king in recent RA trailer but the north still stand

by endfield lore that door,that portal gate,that huge star gate,standing in Sami north ppl fixed it and connected terra and talos IS4 lore will telling u how we reached the door

I think The Door in the north lead to Talos II as talos 2 awakening trailer reveal.

I always wondered what EYESOFPRIESTESS meant when looking at the map.

I might not have the time to read this event so the video is very much appreciated. I'm kinda piss that all the ''humans'' in cryo got sacrifice... They could have eventually found a new power source.

the space program was doing very nice for the plot, them nowhere the drop a "cave bomb" to ryze more questions.

i love how there's just a canonical build limit

So its age of strife .in WH40k.spacetravels become impossible.and some humans used genetics to adapt to their Isolated planets.Felinids,Ogryns ,and so on

In 1:51, aren't Kristen's parents part of the Perro race? (I always confuse it with Vulpo myself).

Love how in Stultifera navis, an event centered about the sea, the people are yearning for "The Golden Age" dwelling in a past that will never return while here in Lone Trail, centered around space, they are building "A new age" for their future. So their thoughts of the sky and the sea being the same are somewhat true, but in completely different senses
