Cultists: [construct a complex alter of worship from several dozen sacred materials before setting it on fire in worship of their god] Mothman: *L Ä M P*

They make great omelettes!

I kinda wish there was a faction for the Mothman cult. Dressing up like a cultist myself, I think it would be fitting. Wise and holy Mothman, watch over us in our trials.

He's actually like really cute, I wanna pet him. If I gotta worship him to do it, then so be it.

"Why Worship MOTHMAN?" because he's so darn cute!

As a West Virginian, we worship Mothman because he can get shit done.

I remember the first time I stumbled upon mothman, I was completely terrified

"Why Worship Mothman?" Um, I'm not totally agreeing with their practices, but for one thing, the Mothman is real. Secondly, there does seem to be something to worshiping the creature. Mothman doesn't attack the cultists, walks and nests among them, and seems to be drawn to effigies of the Mothman (again, they walk and nest among them, as well as lay eggs around the various statues and totems of it). Something else that's odd about the Mothman, it doesn't die like other insects; instead of leaving an intact corpse or even just chunks of it, it leaves a pile of dust and powder as if it were disintegrated.

MOTHMAN! Theres no need to feel down! i said MOTHMAN! Pick that man off the ground! SCREEEEEEEEEEE No oh god no noo please NOOOOOOOOooooooooo

Me when I find a Mothman in 76: "I'm a bit of a believer myself."

No one is gonna talk about the sleeping beast in the ocean mentioned by one of the notes

Fools if only they knew they could just summon him by putting goo in a light house

When theyre talking about things being "washed away" I think they are referring to the great flood from when the raiders blew up the dam

Cultist are pleased you are spreading the word of our lord and savior mothman.

You can actually find more chapters at lucky hole mine along I also found cultist worshipping a vengeful moth man who ran away

Mothman did the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster.

Just wanted to say that I enjoy Widgeon's F76 lore videos (and always learn something new) and that I was pleased to stumble across his F76 camp not too long ago.

I worship Mothman because I get free food from him.

I hope there is going to be a Mothman nuke event where you can draw him out by dropping a nuke in a certain area, similar to scorched earth.

HAIL MOTHMAN! HAIL MOTHMAN! HAIIIL MOTHMAAAN!!!

I think Mothman isn't the only one referenced in that note I believe lovecraftian beings such as Ug-qualtoth and The Interloper are also alluded to.

In Lucky Hole Mine, there are now Cultists there too and also there are notes labelled Chapter 7 and Chapter 8, without ever finding 1-6.

Im pretty sure the rat posion in some of the places is left behind from previous church goers ending their lives during or in the aftermath of the war. theres a few churches like that from before waselanders.

The wastelanders update brought me back after not being happy preordering the game for $80, the lore is honestly amazing in this game, I'm not sure why people hate on it.

Possibly the holotapes are like group prayer sessions by the head cultist whoever he is and they are played during important parts of the day

Finally. I’ve been waiting two weeks! Keep it up bro! 👍

It would be nice if there were some cultist you could talk to, seeing as they are trying to convert people.

LAMP

I like to think that mothman has a habit of getting caught in screen doors

I want to join them, but NoOOOOoOoooooo Todd just HAD to ad the brother of steel DIDNT HE?

Awesome video. Some stuff I'd missed myself, thanks. Just for future reference, the locals pronounce it 'kuh-naw' ;)

When they said “poison fills the air” I think they meant moth man somehow makes a endless rad storm

Believe believe! Yes you can! Believe in the power of the Mothman!

I love these mothman cultist areas, makes for some easy gear/ammo with only one grenade!

There’s another tape inside the Lucky Hole Mine thing, which is also a great way to get lead, but there’s also a cultist set up there

The way you pronounce Kanawha is funny :)

Are you going to make a updated video once people find more information on sickleman? ( the sign that said sickle man was here now says Sickleman is here )

PART 2 now !! WISE MOTHMAN WISE CHARLES TELLS US TO COME HERE !!

I've seen other youtubers find connection between the Mothman and The Interloper in The Deep. Some serious Lovecraftian stuff in this game :) I think one holotape mentioned the creatures from the sea so maybe they are the interlopers. Some holotapes and letters suggest that the interloper is also an alien so it fits the Lovecraftian idea.

the last holotape sounds like their ritual suicide and "redemption" is the salvation they seek from mothman, also hilarious that they build a pyre to summon mothman b/c lol he's a moth

I'm not sure if it's just me what's a voice in the holotapes sounds like the leader from children Adam far Harbor DLC he sounds very similar it could be just me

All praise the holy Mothman may he shared his dust from his wings upon your soul

I found flatwoods monster on the cliff with the jeep overlooking the rear of the manor on a few occasions

I was wondering , does the mothman cult have a link with the interloper cult ?

Because he is our salvation he is the guiding light to the new World

I believe some parts of the notes and hollow tape recordings may reference the cultists who where told to “go to higher ground” the day the bombs fell. It is possible that these cultists escaped and spread the word of their cult throughout the wasteland. Also maybe the part about Mothman rising from the earth Could be a reference to the interloper?

“He is most beautiful”

The coolest thing I have discovered is that the cultists will attack and fight a scorched mothman I have encountered it twice now! I really love that lil detail ♥ 👌

In the lucky hole mine there are sacrificed settlers in the main chapel room, and in addition, cultists worship the interloper still. I'm sensing some expansion potential with our favorite zealots, eh?

I think the Mothmen work for the interloper. We first hear about the interloper in Point Pleasant, after a Mothman cultist learns of it and seeks it out. Later, this same Mothman cultist leaves a tape behind at Lucky Hole Mine, talking about how he's the chosen one. The various effigies around Lucky Hole Mine look similar to to the kind made for the Mothman in other locales. Furthermore, after Wastelandes was released, Lucky Hole Mine became a Mothman Cultist hideout, with Mothman Cultists located even in the Interloper's room, around the Interloper itself.

I went to Clancy manor and there was a group of cultists and a moth man sitting on the roof

If we are on the topics if cultist here Why are there giant bronze heads underground I find in caves? (theres 2 in the white spring shop of building plans)

What if the “redemption” holotape is an indication that they were wrong? After all there’s several mothmen one good, ones that are neutral(he will just vanish away) and ones that are hostile. Maybe that tape is them realizing that they are worshiping the wrong(hostile) mothmen and can’t summon the good one

Yesterday when I was playing 76, I was at the Crater and found 3 Yao Guai there, no one did anything, just stood there when I killed them, it was weird

I hate to be that guy, but it's "kuh-naw-uh"

With that last holotape, I believe the cultist is leaning towards setting off a nuke to summon more mothmen(I think that's the plural) as a way to fix the world.

Notification squad, love the video keep up the good work!!!

Hej can you make a video about the raider or the seatlers and can’t wheit foar part 2 of the cultists

They sensed me....or the headlamp I left on.... Who really knows..... The Shadow knows!

you can find chapter 1-6 if you do missions to kill the blood eagles

Good stuff! Side note, as a native its pronounced kuh-naw-ah :)

PRAISE THE GREAT AND HOLY MOTHMAN

worship could be a coping mechanism developed out of fear in the wasteland

Bunch of cultists in a church praying when suddenly...plasma grenade.

But when will i be graced by such a wise and benevolent mothman and pray with my people?

The cultists makes for a filling meal.

What if the ‘chapter’ holotapes are LITERAL chapters from a prewar play or radio show and the crazy cult thought they were real instructions ?

2:21 Yeah maybe you should turn off your damn flash light XD. “They sensed my presence”. Yeah I wonder why lol

Why worship him? Because I owe everything to him!

Beckon the call letter has a Cthulu reference

It’s possible that the eggs have a natural grease exuding off the outer shell

The other chapters are in game at other mothman locations

A smart place for a cultist camp is at the lighthouse

I play Fallout 76 with the Fallout 3 Background music. Gives you a total other vibe and atmosphere. Try it out

I think theyre planning to use one of the nuke silos to wake up the mothman?

He’s a really big moth

Im down for some Mothman Worship lol

The MÖTHMÄN is our BRÖTHER our lord and savior! He will give us his wisdom and guide us to the divine light of the holy LÄMP!

Can you eat it though cause my character build like to hunt and eat Everything he touched

Those extensions can have a non hostile mothman spawning

Moth are natural enemy of Bat. Bat eat Moth. In the future they should have some event about using Mothman as a Scorchedbeast bait or Protect the Elder Mothman from the Scorched attack or better, Cultist Crusade against the Scorched.

Hmmm I wonder why noticed you is is probably tinkerbell was holding a flashlight we will never know😂😂

"Bid us welcome as we beckon thee with this Divine L Å M P, that we may be blessed by the air underneath thy wings."

ALL HAIL

ill join wise and holy mothman watch over us in our trials

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Mothman is bae

do you think maybe a splinter group became the Children of Atom?

What would happen if the children of atom were to cross paths with the moth man followers

Wait but in my game there was a moth man at blanks offering

I lived in West Virginia for 32 years and there are no Mothman Cultists in WV. Just Mothman followers only. I think Bethesda made up Mothman Cultists to get more players involved in playing the game more. Here in West Virginia it's just made up folklore & Myth from Point Pleasant area from November 15, 1966, to December 15, 1967 for the Tourist who visit here.

Please tell me what weapon that is. Someone please

where can I sign up?

There are strange things afoot in the Appalachia!

So we got; The interloper/and those giant metal heads = earth Mothman/scorchbeasts= Sky ...Whats in the sea ?

In the second to last note it mentions a winged glowing one and there being a great old one who watches from beneath the ocean. Anyone getting heavy Cthulhu or a Cthulhu type god being under the sea above something like mothman and that mothman isn’t really that intelligent as we think.

Moth man huh. I’m pretty sure Cyanide & Happiness created a moth hero, a reference perhaps?

Also Mothmqn Is Cool

What do you mean by why?

Also, Kanawha County is pronounced “Kannaw”.
