A quick note... when talking about the door in the video, the idea was that the door has been left open when it appears that Entrati wanted to CLOSE IT, which I believe he meant for good, not just in the moment, something clearly euleria did not do, given what she talks about during the heart of deimos. So the door has been left wide open. But... let me stress that there is no passage CONFIRMING the door was closed to supposedly cut off the man in the wall's fingers and further... the only person who we can definitively say was injured, especially in their arm, was entrati. So the thing to ponder is... if the "other" escaped as Entrati theorized, is it not possible those fingers belonged to him and their metamorphosis after void exposure and how it interacted with real world material, Human fingers (or more) was how void technologies were actually developed, maybe by an entity that already knew how it all worked? FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

Albrechts voice acting is sooo good, I would listen to an entire audiobook of him narrating his discoveries of the Void

"if you look in to the abyss the abyss stares back " comes to mind in the way the void acts

The voice artist for albrecth entrati needs an Oscar

Others probably pointed it out, but its no coincidence that Oull's requiem symbol begins changing only after its initial form is an eye. It needs to look at your enemies's selves to fully become them as a person and strike at them the same way it struck Entrati.

It could be that the old Orokin used kuva, only understanding what it could do for them, extending their life and allowing for continuity, without fully understanding "how" it works.

"We end as we began" At the start of warframe we are asleep. If we really are an avatar of the man then like Rell and Albrecht we must sleep to put a stop to him.

Alternative reading: Blood and stomach on the floor doesn't equate to his intestines hanging out - but instead nausea and emissions caused from terror and vertigo

What if Entrati did shake the hand when he went into the void? Making a deal with Wally just like we did? He maybe shook the hand wanting to survive and therefore also gaining the knowledge to build the new technology?

Maybe the entrati we see in the 1999 trail is like that of the drifter a version of him from another timeline where he ended up taking the hand of the man in the wall instead of running from it

I bet he owns a fashion line during 1999. How else did he fund his lab?

im glad albrecht is finally getting more attention (both ingame and within the community). ive always thought that he was the most important addition to warframe's lore but a lot of people were unaware of/havent listened to the albrecht lore tablets in deimos. he's one of my favorite characters even though he's had barely any screentime so far always love your videos, glad you're back!

Theory: When Loid hits the casket with the hammer he is not sealing him in there. Look at the hammer. What does it look like? IMO it looks like some sort of compact version of the cosmic clock. And we know hammers in Warframe have abilities. For example, the Synoid Heliocore can scan things, award kavat codes, and even create a specter of an enemy. What if that hammer sends Entrati back in time. To 1999. Just before Arthur shows up.

Something I always noted was that a couple of the Holdfasts (being resurrected by the Void) have seen copies of themselves in the Reliquary Drive. Yonta says she doesn't like being in there because she swears she "saw herself grinning" out of the corner of her eye Edit: It's also interesting that the living Albrecht seems to be a normal human, while the painting and description of the Scholar seem to be a full-blown blue Orokin body.

As far as I can, when he said “thanks kiddo I think I will” that right there was it’s goal, take out our light in our soul and replace with his dark ways and elderitch plan for chaotically merging the void with reality, he is doing all of this to get out of his wall form he is truly encrusted inside of, but not all powerful since he needs our help, maybe another force of light overshadows him

I like to think that maybe the void wasn't evil and chaotic until entrati fell into it unshielded. Perhaps it took on its current form because of his emotional state and it was some neutral alternate space before. It would truly make him the father of the void

Proper lore videos for Warframe are few and far between,. excellent work!

I think we can apply to "Man in the Wall" something more literal. Mind you, the seriglass bell crashed into the "wall" in the portal before shattering. That may be the moment of importance in this story. This physical contact with the walls of the void Entrati perceived may be the very wall he's trapped in. This would also fall into place of the idea that he is both him and the other, the shrodinger of personal existence really. As for Oull, you nailed that one right on the head for me. I was ready to type a theory out but had to be patient because I knew you'd cover it you clever bastard. I have a firm belief that Oull is a requiem that was developed far past the others as a sort of key to bypass the original eight. Of course, only one soul would have that knowledge, and that same soul just so happens to be possibly both himself and the other.

You're the Vattividya of Warframe. Without this channel and your explanations, I honestly wouldn't care this much about the lore.

This can be summed up as a cautionary tale on why being a door to door salesman is a bad idea

The point regarding the two of them overlapping in that four-handed statue is genius, i never realised thr symbolism you pointed out

This lore literally made mention of Xaku's 3 & 4. (Gaze, Accuse, Deny & The Vast Untimed.)

Here's a theory I just came up with regarding the Railjack reliquary drives. Canonically there have been multiple Railjacks as it has been referenced in the Old War, however the way they were powered is confusing, as it was heavily hinted the finger in the drive is the one missing from Albrecht's other, but only one was cut off. It is my theory the other fingers came from versions of Albrecht in other parallel timelines that were collapsed during the Tenno's deal. Considering the nature of Eternalism, there are, or rather were infinite parallel timelines that fractured with every single choice. With that, Albrecht's encounter with the Void is canon in a significant number of them, confirmed by the fact that during the deal several other Tenno wearing Zariman suits are killed (if Albrecht didn't encounter his other, there wouldn't have been Void travel and therefore the Zariman). The collapsed timelines therefore each had a finger, one that Wally could have taken and later given to the Operator timeline. As I'm writing this however, I'm starting to believe that we or someone else will have to make another deal so Wally's plan could come to fruition. Even though the timelines were reduced from infinite to two during the Zariman deal, the rules of Eternalism hadn't changed, and the timelines would have continued splitting after that point. Imagine a tree with an absurd number of branches, and cutting off all of them but one. The branch left would continue growing and branching off itself. If Wally wants just one fruit off that tree, he will have to cut the branches again

Drawing energy from the void, the Orokin could create """new""" matter for materials which would have been needed after the failure of the Zariman.

My guess is Wally works like a chaos god from warhammer, malicious, but ultimately requiring the existence of humanity in order to live.

Its worth noting that in the Tennocon Demo, the Coffin Albrecht stepped into is still visible on the later part of the demo where the tenno teleports back into the lab, and the coffin is visibly dented, so he or atleast his body is possibly still there

When you are reminded that Warframe is a grimdark universe.

Well, what no greater a challenge than the toughest obstacle there is: You. Your shadow. Your own reflection. ... Yourself.

26:44 Well, I think it's many fingers that are all the same finger. Sort of a quantum mechanics thing. Each reliquary drive holds, or is _connected_ to the _same_ finger(s).

I was sending the link to the Tennocon 2023 to a friend that didn't watch it yet and I began watching it again. Something I found curious was how Loid talked: "Ah. The 'helpful' Necraloid my Albrecht had made" I didn't register before that he says "My Albrecht" rather than simply "Albrecht" or "Master Albrecht". He is most likely aware of alot of things but more so the "Kalymos Sequence" and the fact there are multiple Albrechts. Either that or he's just way too emotional about Albrecht, which he is but I'd prefer to believe he is aware of the Man in the Wall too.

I'm trying to figure out what entrati meant when he said he would die empty. It sounded like his thoughts and memories where sucked out of him and manifested, his consciousness sucked into the vacuum of the void and leaving his body empty.

So basically we became a part of the Man in the Wall forever like he said huh... "both in here (the Void), and out there (in real space)"

I can't wait 😢 I need to watch this now

Speculation ahead: Since you mentioned the possibility of Albrecht and us being in a position of "There's the original person, and the void entity in one body" It makes me wonder how does the Drifter fit into that? Remember how the scholar in Duviri said that there would come a time when Duviri would be needed? Perhaps the Drifter is what he referred to. The time could either be in the future, or it could be referring to the time when the Drifter's finally attains control over their powers (Thanks to the events that happen during New War, and Natah's hand) and escapes from from Duviri. And all of this is big hypothesis time and very much speculation of course. Maybe what Albrecht hopes for, is that this "person", ie:. us, the player, who is essentially (thanks to the void jump accident), two people, can both work together against the third entity in the mix, Wally? Perhaps he realized at some point that he couldn't fight The Man in The Wall by himself, and could never do it... so he made plans for us to eventually figure it out and combat Wally. Also, a bit of a tangent: I also wonder how the heck Vessels fit into all this. I wonder if they have anything to do with 1999 at all? What if they're literally "vessels", like ships, and are meant for us to traverse the raw void itself? Perhaps they are what's meant to let us traverse time and dimensions to eventually reach other universes, like that of 1999? I know Railjacks and possibly most Orokin vessels are capable of void jumps to move around, but maybe Vessels are special in that they let someone either visit or see other realities and or times? That last part is just a big "whoa dude imagine" moment from me, just a thought c:

You have to remember that it's not impossible to build in the void. We've had orokin towers for a long time so I don't think it's strange to have the lab being built there. I just wonder why the outside of the orokin towers look so different from the outside of the lab.

Ive noticed the number 9 keeps showing up in warframe recently, might be looking into it too far but DE is know for there details: •Zaramin countdown from 10-2 before the accident •There are 9 requiem mods •There are 9 lore segments in duviri (which seem to follow the lore) •wally has 9 attached fingers (looks like he has 2 sets of hands on the wall, but its him as the vitruvian Man, which is just 2 positions of hands?) •And warframe 1999 being released soon. And in basic numerology the number 9 represents completion but not the end (almost turning a page), which if done intentionally is genius for DE because the 10th year anniversary happened it seems to be a page being turned for warframe story. Just some interesting food for thought and why i love DE story telling and attention to detail. What else has anyone noticed? Also frost was the 9th warframe released and got the heirloom skin lol

The “”You Are LATE”” line may well be part of the story of 1999 but it’s also an inside joke on the fact that game/game mode is about 16 years late as DE was trying to get that made about 16 years ago so them finally been able to make it means it’s running late.

i know this is probably not what is happening but the 1st thing i thought about the "you are late" on the warframe 1999 finale was directed towards us the tenno

I think it's worth consideration that at the time of the recording, Albrecht has barely any accent of note. There is a character in Duviri, however, with an inexplicably very thick germanic accent. The Prisoner. He rather conspicuously lacks a mask, however there is a masked counterpart of him (sharing the same model) clad in all black, who occasionally appears in hidden places, tapping on walls and cackling maniacally. Sound familiar? While I don't think he is *the* Albrecht Entrati, he could be a sort of snapshot of him, the same way Kullervo's jailor is a snapshot of Ballas. This would then place his visit to Duviri to much earlier in his life than the last recording.

Another great video. I'm so glad you're back. Your content is top shelf.

A thought occurs if i remember correctly the Orokin had an obsession with biological technologies. One being in in relation to immortality the other could be in relation to access to the void. Seeing as Albrects physical body created a reaction so by this logic the void towers create at least some of the power he desired.

I think when tenno chooses how to act with the kuva the man in the wall is taking to him to remind him about the Deal that gived the tenno his abilities

Awesome as always. I am always so happy when I see new video from you. One small thing. WHen you talked about the wall/gate, and when Albreht got out but he couldn't speak, and wrote "Close it". I think his daughter did close it. And by closing the door, the finger/fingers were cut off. I think, once he got healed and got back to work, they reopened the door/wall/gate again.

Phenonemal work as always, this video helped to piece together even more lore that I was confused about. The Man in the Wall/ Albrecht Entrati, two figures with lots of mystery. I do wonder, what will happen if this wellspring of power (the Void) does get closed, will our Warframe universe go back to normal, or will something else happen. SO many thoughts, so many questions, can't wait for this update. Keep up the FIRE!

I would love to see like a 3 minute short. Of the entire experiment in real time. Like the sheer horror of a scientist knowing he's about to open the most terrifying door in existence while everyone looks on.

I love stuff like this, Eldritch and Cosmic horrors beyond my comprehension 😳 Also, you ask "is this Albrecht Entrati, the Man in the Wall, or both?" Considering how both Drifter and our Tenno coexist, safe to say its the same for Albrecht and the Man in the Wall Like a shadow, its connected to us. Always following, always watching

This has been phenomenal. I can't wait for more :3

This was so well put together and thought out, I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoy the ideas you presented towards the end. Keep up the great work!

Awesome video as always!!!

Love these deep dives into the lore. Thank you! ❤

Albrecht describing his pain could also just be his body failing but not dying, like in the quote "Lacerated in flesh and heart. Scattered as the bell glass. Spilling blood and stomach on the cold, stone floor." the shattered glass cut his skin which he begins to bleed out and him suffering from cardiac arrest or heart attack, and the "blood and stomach" may just be the bleeding from the cuts and vomit. Which could explain how he recovers

Great video! Super interesting stuff surrounding Dr.Entrati can't wait to find out more 😁

You make great vids, thanks man.

Here I come back after whispers in the walls and so I listened and looked, they were and are.

I find it interesting that Entrati consistently refers to kuva in his word choices and references. I wonder if Kuva was first discovered before the radiation wars. This could mean the existence of Kuva could have inspired Entrati to further research the void.

Your vids are great, thank you fir taking the time to explain the lore.

Albrecht maybe wasn’t close to death but that “spilling blood and stomach” might just be bleeding and vomiting. Not sure how much that changes tho lol

awesome video, subbed :)

Something I find interesting is how Daughter has the specific Orokin look, which is long arms and blue skin but Albercht doesn't. And the 'truth' ballas preaches, with his deacons, seem oddly familiar to how we see Albercht dressed like

Amazing video 😮

You touched on it briefly here but listening to this got me thinking what if the man in the wall is the person playing the game and entrati broke the 4th wall at some point and ventured into our world and then got stuck here so from a prespective he is stuck behind the wall. I doubt they would take such an approach for something so heavily involved in the lore but it was just a thought that I had

I need a tutorial how to make yourself sound like the man in the wall like you did towards the end of the video. It’s so good!

Good God, Warframe is the most interesting and also the most frustrating game i've ever played in terms of understanding what the everloving hell is actually going on. Props to DE for managing to make a game who's lore isn't a rabbit hole- instead, it's a whole damn warren. Warframe has moved into Across the Spider-verse territory and I am terrified but also so excited to see what happens next. It's also so mindblowing to me that as we move further into the stroyline, it becomes clear that Wally is pretty much THE big bad guy of Warframe, and that every major plot point in this game can all be traced back to Albrecht, his research, and that damn encounter. He is the one figure responsible, directly or indirectly, for almost... *everything.* The sheer weight of that alone is impressive in a game that has taken years to get to this point. -I could be the only one who's slightly simping over '99 Albrecht, and I'm okay with that.-

I like marble-Wally's eye slits to be a little reference to Quantum craziness.

Bruh, imagine if the real Albrecht is stuck in that wall because of the accident

nice work

God's l love this game. Thanks for the lore videos dude!

I just love albrecht design lol, its so stylish

What if the same thing that happened to Albercht happened to the lotus in the ending of the new war??? Her hand was smoking that same way.

I loved this

The ending of the video with oul is amazing. The quest comes out tomorrow and i can wait to play it and see what things really are.

This gets me thinking about the Requiem mods and how we use them to kill Liches/Sisters. I could be way off but it seems like the Requiem words, and by extension Void Tongue, hold a power great enough to disrupt and cut off Continuity and whatever other crazy things Kuva does.

so there is something people havent noticed about those requiem logs he left for us. each of them contains orokin text except ris. when i first started to translate them i thought ok this has errors in it as fass read pass and vome read homm, but when i changed the order of the words based on the order albreacht reads the requiem mods descripitions in the lohk entry i got this " LOHK LOHK ZHATEA JAHOO HOMM (blank) PASS VPLT 1 MDL L VPLT 2 KRA." khras entry itself containing the period of end of sentence symbol. if you change the requiem words in this message to albreachts said meanings for those words you get "VOID VOID TRUTH FORM HOMM (blank) PASS VPLT 1 MDL L VPLT 2 TIME." i think homm is home in this instant. which is albreacht directly telling us he was the real him to passed back through the portal and that we need to pass VPLT 1 MDL L VPLT 2 time, which could be about the fact that the cosmic clock destroys to unlock the labs

I cant wait for this update

Thank you SIEGE Priceless work, I would love if you made a recap of all the story. or maybe after the new quest. Also why DE don't make a movie or a series about the lore I would love to watch that.

I just want to say, you're awesome.

Been a while i didnt return to Warframe and this channel.

Anyone else hear the “Gaze, Accuse, Deny” at the beginning and immediately think of the three powers Xaku has with The Lost?

I'm really looking forward to finding out the lore behind him (as for someone who loves studying the lore behind everything) and Loid

DE should nominated you as a narator for story telling. Well done!

woo awesome info

the one missing finger from the man in the wall, and the amount of fingers we hear of/see, it reminds me of the situation in adventure time where they cut off the lich's hand and it falls into the multiverse and multiplies to match the number of timelines and universes.

These lore videos always make me question an ponder the warframe lore itself more deeply

This is how we get the MIGHTY SEER

You know, this entire time I've been getting back into the game, I honestly thought this guy was the dude from that Ubisoft game and they did a collab lol

Amazing you've been right on the credits bro. Do you ever notice that when the man in the wall starts to sound malicious he or she sounds like our drifter a little?

I wonder if DE watches these and be like "shit, he's on to us... time to make it even more confusing!" lol

I REALLY hope that the good/neutral/bad system comes into play here.

i cant believe i didnt see the name connection between albrect entrati and albert einstien thats so cool

​fucking spot on i love it

His thoughts before the bell breaking could be an interesting link to how and why the void manifested the way it did

as much as im aware of, the door did close after entrati was able to escape. But it was at the moment when the man in the wall was crossing the finger through the portal. Probably the orokin were able to repllicate it, somehow, thats why we see so many fingers around haha.

i love this voice so much

Wow....That is...wow. This whole video make me rethink my concept of Albrecht. I'm currently working on story with elements from Warframe and I wanted to make him an antagonist. Now? Now I may make him a broken man who is willing to do whatever the cost to stop The Indeference.

Kinda cool how xakus third switch abilities between his 3 are named Gaze, Accuse, and Deny.

This is a lore masterpiece =)

It would be a lore's "table flip" if the golden age of the orokin empire spacefaring had been planned all this long time. I mean, it is very easy to lose sense of scale in the lore of this game; in "the ties that bind" Darvo, just Darvo, said he is close to 105 years old...I know it is old lore like the "oro" stuff in the conclave, but it puts into perspective a bunch of things.

Hey @TheDsIEGE awesome video, one thing i've been meaning to ask is what do you think those giant constructs are? the ones that Albrecht - according to flesh and blood Loid - started but never finished, what purpouse could they serve? Obviously we will find out more in December once the patch drops I'm just curious what your thoughts on them are Maybe it's gonna be a necramech thing where we use them but what would we be fighting with such a giant construct? is it pacific rim-like robot vs wally smackdown?

It's one thing that got me curious about... What about Parvos? And the place he lives in that got him to live long.

I love how you pointed on OULL how it ,,mimics,, and may not be a word made by Albrecht but by ,,something,, that is basically ,,you,, or better ,, a mimic,,
