The Witcher 3 good ending is obviously only one of the possible Witcher 3 endings. (Which is also a symbolic representation of him letting go of his guilt about Jessica) Blake was force fed Lairds blood, which could have also been high in Mercury and aided in his insanity. As for Jessica. Her murder remains unsolved. All birds die, all fish die, blood moon, it rains blood, pestilence takes over the people etc. (I’m not yelling.). Also there is a theory that Blake desperately wanted their to be a baby, he wanted to raise that baby to live a full life to make up foe 10 year old Jess having her life cut so tragically and brutally cut short, after all the baby is a girl. The reason why he is being tortured is because he didn’t give up the location where the heretics are hiding Lynn. A very good observation indeed! The father who helps Blake is another parent whose kid died in the same situation but was too coy to talk after she told him what happened. It’s likely that they realized from the first attempt at controlling Walrider that something just didn’t work. If it’s Blake’s or not there was a shadow as he pulled away, but there was no shadow for either the baby or Blake’s arms while the baby was being delivered. Sounds crazy? The demons weren’t real right, so how was he able to sustain physical injury and not a mental one. That murdered woman you mean is Anna Lee, daughter of Ethan. I was confused by the ending at first but this really cleared things up. The religious symbols of armageddon throughout the game could also be explained by this. As Jessica doesn’t seem antagonistic towards him this may confirm his belief. They can’t just go on with prequels.. Or maybe this game takes place the same events with 1 but Blake is being a victim of the Murkoff experiment somewhere in Arizona? During this vision it is revealed what happened to Jessica and why Blake is being haunted by those memories to this day. The raining blood, the siphilis enduced sores & boils on the Scalled, the plague of locusts, fire & brimstone from the sky & earthquakes in the mines & even the death of the first born child at the hands of a horned beast (possibly Val in her crown of branches) are Christian symbolism of armageddon from the book of Revelations. Anna from chichester on July 16, 2014: This was so interesting - you clearly have a deep interest and extensive knowledge of fairy tales :) Richard from Hampshire - England on July 16, 2014: This was fascinating. They basically did anything Knoth told them to. No sign to judge the actuality of the school scenes. It’s also apparent because Jessica is already afraid of him before anything happens meaning that it has probably happened before and which is why she wants Blake to stay with her. The reason Blake feels regret is because he stayed silent and didn’t tell the truth surrounding her death. But this makes me wonder about another thing… when Lynn first escapes from Knoth and his Christians she doesn’t have a big belly yet. That’s the only way all the villagers believing in the same crazy stuff makes sense. The birth did seem very odd overall. If she was hanging by her left arm alone she would be swinging all over the place. Im confused lol. The writings and gospels always make it very sexual and continues to talk about sexual acts so it leads me to believe that Jessica could have possibly been sexually harassed or even raped which lead her to commit suicide. Ä° only understand that jessica loved us and we didnt love her. Her eating of them suggests she's either still into Martin despite everything that's happened or it's a sign of defiance, as she can now eat whatever she wants after overcoming the curse he inflicted on her. He wants to know what happened but she refuses to say. I think that the microwave from the tower not only could send signals to the people at the area, but also could receive the thought, memories or something like that. Loutermilch questions the two and suspects they were fooling around, which is a big no-no at their catholic school. The last Video he takes is him stating “She’ll grow up to do all the things she was born to do” In this he’s projecting this imaginary baby to convince himself that he’s saved Jessica now and he’s finally ridding himself of the repressed guilt he felt at her death. Can we consider them to be simply living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?, It’s implied that Jess died when she fell/was pushed down the stairs and then was framed as a suicide, as Blake (can’t remember the exact point, sorry) goes (paraphrased) “she hung herself, wait, no,”, a reason why this could be the truth is that it was obviously a tramatic memory, one that Blake likely blocked out as a child. Required fields are marked *. They said they cut her up and did something. On the path to the mines the school visions become more frequent and the demon that is chasing him in the school is getting more aggressive. Now, my theory is that once you start believing in brainwash, you become a beacon and the guy next to you receives brainwashing information from two ends- the tower and, well, from you the people. For all, we know our entire perception of Blakes life with Lynn(her being our wife) could be false. Is that just for the sake of the last revelation (so we know what really happened in school)? So at the very end there are of course all of the dead people who I’m pretty sure killed themselves as a chance to get into heaven instead of having the antichrist bring an end to the world. A man can be heard speaking some prayers but it’s not clear who it is – could be Blake but he sounds very different in the recordings. When you arrive it doesn’t show. In the document he writes “I must have walked from inside my dream state because I found myself on waking a great distance away, and have not been able to trace my steps back to the humming towers”. He now sees demons chasing him. It’s simple. You play as Blake Langermann, husband and cameraman to your wife Lynn Langermann, who is an investigate journalist. So we have 1 person not seeing it and two seeing it (granted those two were more insane than her). Her right arm was covered by a shadow and her legs were tied and lifted from the ground. Blake escapes the remaining Christians and then there’s another flash of light. Wouldn’t the police have seen all the crazy shit when they made the police report? All of you people with such nonsense theories So! Val was very upset that these children got slaughtered and god never gave the sign they all waited for. Everyone is just listening to Knoth’s prophecies and falling under one giant spell. I don’t believe he raped her because, at the end of the game, Knoth talks about how he was powerless against the child because it wasn’t created by his seed. The game begins with a helicopter ride. 2) You can video record a radio tower. It appears to be Jessica. But then why would Knoth see him holding the baby in the chapel? It feel the Morphogenic Engine also was here when Blake said he feels scissors in his teeth it’s like Miles saying buzzing in his bones. There’s a trophy and achievement for finishing the first playthrough called “Born Again”. Also, I think Val’s people(?) Of course, the story is crazy enough, but let’s just stick to the fact that a child cannot be born in a day. Is there any meaning to what Val said about her (his?) Both of these theories would help with some unsolved mysteries: He headbutts and kicks a couple people, so why doesn’t he ever pick up a weapon? That could explain the baby question too, because father keep saying the baby by speaker all the time around the village. Perhaps Lynn’s “pregnancy” is a similar case, where she developed a psychosomatic pregnancy from the effects of the radio signal which was accelerated by being brought in close proximity to the tower and everyone believing she was pregnant. If you put those two together, Murkoff would have a perfect way to create a level of insanity and traumata to make Blake the new host for the Walrider.

Thus making “the signal stronger”. The christians were affected since long. ), originally known simply as Ogre (オーガ, Ōga? The Project Gutenberg EBook of Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Ghosthunter is a 2003 third-person shooter action video game for the PlayStation 2.Developed by SCE Cambridge Studio, it was published in Europe by SCEE in December 2003, and in North America by Namco in August 2004. That could also be why Lynn didn’t want to tell Blake what the Christians did to her. Videos prove that the crazy town was true, so was the helicopter accident at the beginning. The connection to Murkoff within the storyline could either come from the published Whistleblower documents which he might have read or (if he is a patient) part of the Inception. Near the end, when his mind finally breaks, he can remember what really happened: Jess died on that stairwell and the entire thing was framed as a suicide by hanging (implied by when she screams as she is hanging from a noose, as well as how the demon drags her up- she’s not hanging of her own accord), Of course, that’s just what I think. While this doesn’t explain her pain early in the game during the first time Blake finds Lynn, Its also possible that Lynn was harmed by Knoth during the examination in some subtle way leading to her not fully noticing until forced into a scenario where she needed to get away and quick. Everyone gets crazy thanks to that mind-control thing. When the latter kills a sacred deer belonging to goddess Artemis, he is told to sacrifice Iphigenia to make things right. There are documents from Val’s journal (she’s the leader of the heretics). The note about the relay mentions the driven believers becoming projectors. I don’t know if the weird flash made the town people crazy, but someone could have altered the water and foods and spread poison in the air. What about all the signs of the apocalypse Blake sees. Also remember Ethan’s daughter, Anna Lee who apparently had lots of mercury in her blood (with Lynn speculating that it was because of the river water being contaminated by the nearby mines) and how much worse Blake’s own hallucinations got after he drowned in it a bit (when he came out back to land, he was seeing blood rain all over). We assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of and make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of information contained in any third party websites. He clearly didn’t get skinned in the crash so Blake knows something weird is going on. Also, Val can be a man. There are two possibilities for this, I think. But what does it mean to be “correct” or “true”? Or was it just some joke she made? If Blake was imagining the pregnancy, then why would Lynn die after the childbirth? Consider this: But I wanted Val to lick my face again…. Lynn is a carrying the baby/secret (maybe Blake told her what he had seen at the school) and All the pain, stress and suffering could cause her a miscarriage and that’s why she felt that huge ache. He can be found as i_Padds on Twitter making bad puns. 1. Also my grandfather worked in a mine and he told me that a lot of his collegues got actually sick and/or mad. They simply hung her in some weird contraption, maybe to ease her pain or so she wouldn’t have to stand for an extended period of time.

In issue 3 we clearly saw that Billy is still there and in issue 4 the ants destroyed the evidence in Miles’s apartment. If Anna Ferris was ok with everything – Why wasn’t she part of last nights show . From chapter 3 of his gospel; Knoth was 34 when he first experienced visions on the 26th of November, 1971. That is why the father(Monster = Past) is chasing you the whole game :-). So if she is sane and Blake isn’t, at least she would have said something to him, no? Somehow the banned scene looks like Lynn’s legs and right arm are cut off but the normal one she seems like being held weirdly. The priest covers up what happened by making it look like suicide. The note from the outsider about the mind control towers mentions that the owls in the area are constantly fucking, which would explain some of the events in the town. The cutscenes bring up more questions than answers and it’s up to the player to fill in the blanks and connect the dots. Regarding the initial Jane Doe having a lot of mercury in her blood, before penicillin they used to treat syphilis with injections of mercury. The snow could also be a reference to the snow outside the school dream. Blake didn’t love her (he loved Lynn) and didn’t stay with her when she needed him the most. The baby’s umbilical chord is cut by itself idk if this ties up with the baby being an illusion but I hope that helps. 01: Beginning (4.65) Freya begins her sophomore year with surprises. Definitely both of them are present in some form. On their way out they are seen by Father Loutermilch, one of the teachers. Has anybody noticed the backwards voice in those static video clips Blake records while hallucinating? I think from this point on he was imagining everything he saw. It’s about end of days story bible version. This seems like a very good candidate to control Walrider now doesn’t it? lynn says there nothing there because the baby was dead she was refering to life “saying theres nothing there meaning the baby was a stillborn” but blake and knoth see Blake mentions in the recording that it tried to pick him up. The only thing heretics are wearing is a crown on their head (made out of some branches), other than that they are completely naked. Your email address will not be published. Jessie kills herself, Blake goes into denial and Lynn keeps the secret until she can’t keep it in anymore. We build a highly tractable, dynamic model of multiple borrowing and show that, because overlapping creditors may impose default externalities on each other, expanding financial access by introducing more lenders may severely backfire. When the baby is born. That proves the baby is not real. at the end lynn says there is nothing there. At second last school flashback (just before exiting the mines) you see the school through the eyes of young Blake. He announces that the child of Lynn and Blake is the antichrist (devil) and calls out his followers, the “Christians”, to find Lynn and kill her before the child is born. 3.The theory that Lynn is sane and the others are crazy is bit misleading to me. This explains why she didn’t want to tell Blake what had happened to her. The baby is actually real. It’s up to the player to escape. Ohhhh okay, thank you very much for the response! What if he did that to Lynn? These dreams obviously aren’t a common occurence due to Lynn’s “I haven’t thought about her in ages”, Blake remembers Jess’s death as a suicide because he still went to that school, and possibly just blocked it out alltogether. Blake was raised Catholic, obviously a firm believer in God & a devout Christian. They mention something similar in the tie-in comic, “The Murkoff Account” so it must be connected. Since there are notes from 2015, that makes him 78, giving him roughly 44 years to leave civilisation, form a tribe of followers (basically any outcast of society), eventually build Temple Gate, and be exposed to mind altering waves long enough to go insane and follow his crazy aborting ways. Only explanation I can come up with is that Blake wasn’t affected by the brainwashing at that point, so Lynn didn’t look pregnant to him. I think some parts of the story is convoluted and needs the DLC to get it better paced. I really want to understand that bit as well. He mentions on the river that they haven’t done it in a few months). The ending image of a boat on shore implies that Abby and Lev made it to the Fireflies. The Outlast series definitely has some of the strongest writing I’ve seen in a horror game, and the way it deals with the relationship between Blake, Lynn, and Jessica is a testament to that. But Val and his apostates stole away the unborn enemy. Or maybe Lynn actually died on the heli-crash and that was the trigger which broke Blake’s mind, as it reminded him of how powerless he was when Jessica died and the whole thing with the father, making him desire or crave for a chance to save Lynn, denying her death in his own mind, and going after the dream of a life with her, which usually is depicted with the word family (with children) which is then the reason as to why he goes on such a wild and crazy nonsensical chase to find her, gets involved in the whole situation, and right at the end, instead of him breaking further, he starts accepting his powerlessness and lets go of Lynn, which is why she dies, he looks broken but at the same time ready to move on, he doesn’t kill the baby as it’s the last bastion for the shell of who he used to be and finally the “world” is destroyed, he lets go of his past and remembers it one last time, talking to a Jess, who isn’t hurt, making the whole thing different right at the end, he got his own Redemption in some weird sickening way, and like that…was Reborn :D? It’s possible the ultimate goal of the Murkoff mind control is to produce a child, as the villagers are fucking like rabbits, and Knoth has some idea in his visions that a child born in the village will be the anti-christ, culling all the unborn babies before they can fulfill the prophecy, shown by many women suggesting the children they carry could be the anti-christ, and his proclamation that Lynn is also carrying it. The morphogenic engine powered by the radio tower caused an EMP disruption to the helicopter’s systems causing it to crash, possibly killing Lynn outright & leaving Blake injured on the verge of death, while also slipping into madness from the effects of the morphogenic engine pulses more & more over time as life slipped away from him. This explains how Lynn was suddenly pregnant and gave birth to the baby in what seems to be a single night. But think about it… we are all sure that the journey he is on is about guilt and his demons from the past.It is pretty obvious that the father from the catholic church is the monster, chasing him in his dreams… the scar, his voice, you can’t miss that. He escapes the camp but eventually gets caught in a fence where Laird and Nick pick him up again. So they saw the pregnancy (and later when Blake loses his mind sees the pregnancy, too). As a counterpoint to Lynn not suffering from hallucinations as bad as Blake or Knoth, while its likely that she isn’t insane, it’s possible she is, and here’s my logic. This game can be related to this : “People Live their Lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. Granted this is all brought on by the mind altering effects of the Relay Towers, which seem to simply exaggerate already present mental tendencies, hence why all the desperately religious take their faith to extremism and have religious visions; whereas Blake has visions of his repressed past and starts to take on some of the influence of the town around him ie: seeing the baby, seeing the biblical plague signs, etc. The Law of Conservation of Detail may be violated, characters may be derailed, subplots may be ruined, and generally, everything that's occurred so far may be thrown out the window, just to pull off this twist.. Truely the antichrist? In those broken recordings, backward messages show an anonymous man submitting a murder to Jessica. On his way out the school he hears Jessica screaming. Maybe, again, the microwaves only affecyed those who had a “strong” belief system, exceptional fears, regret, or some sort of strong emotion, so that the brainwashing could take effect. The Killing Of A Sacred Deer ends with Steven tying up his family when Bob starts bleeding from the eyes - the last stage before death. One thing thing I noticed that you didn’t mention was that at the end of the game when Lynn gives birth to the supposed “antichrist.” Lynn says “There’s nothing there…” which I believe, could in fact be that Blake finally became “brainwashed” by the microwave signals and there was no actual physical baby. At the market square Blake looks at the sun and has one final vision. Or did he escape? SHE WILL BEAR HER FILTHY YIELD BEFORE DAWN”. Oldboy is a Korean film based on a Japanese manga by the same name. People in the village are already crazy when the story takes place and there is nothing special about them thinking that Lynn is pregnant. Duuuude, another thing that i realized but i dont know if it will help. Was that Val being beaten on the ground by the Ezekiel cult? Val chases Blake through the mines. He now goes through the pitch-black mines where he encounters Val, the female leader of the heretics and her followers. Have you found another hint or theory? Another theory is that the game does not take place over the course of a night like it seems, but actually Blake blacked out for weeks or months during the school visions and Lynn may have been 2-3 months pregnant when they arrived and she didn’t tell him (but how could he possibly miss this when they always travel for journalistic work together and live together. I don’t think ALL of the bible imagery is a hallucination–at least not the birds or fish dying. Her father is likely beating her which is why she posts on the email forum, why the father/teacher threatens to call her parents because he knows that she is being beaten and knows that she won’t tell them what’s happening to her. On the other hand, in the very beginning Blake seems to be quite surprised with the news that his wife is pregnant. These provide very interesting hints. The Variants in the first game are have enhanced strength from the experiments, but does the second game ever say that’s the case with the Temple’s Gate as well? I have a theory on why Lynn “appeared” pregnant. They are just insane.. and I’m sure you remember: Papa Knoth, Marta (the old hag), the leader of the heretics,(blonde bitch with short hair) and the midget dude with the fire arrows.. —Tagline. This, tbh, doesn’t sound to me like months passed away after Lynn got caught by Val, and Knoth definitely stated that the baby would be born before particular night ends. The birds and fish die after a blast from the radio tower, and we find a document that confirms the broadcasts have an effect on the local wildlife. Also, how would Anna know Blake’s name when they reunited also? When Lynn sais “There is nothing, she could mean that she didn’t give birth. In the middle of the game while climbing up some stairs blake spots a radio tower..and records it thinking he can communicate or there could be another civilization living near..bcoz of it all the ppl were affected..in the first outlast…the females were getting pregnant due to being exposed to the dream machine while actually not being pregnant..so this only proves that no child ever was born..it was all an illusion…which explains why knoth and blake both saw the child..and if u would look the closely in the birth scene, the child had no shadow. ;-) We know Knoth impregnated his daughter, and had her killed. They were trying to kill the monsters that are spawning caused by the radio tower’s signal but lost their minds in the process (or they would’ve tried to destroy the radio tower instead… I smell DLC) and ultimately failed in the end. I don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but the first game mentioned that some of the experiments resulted in female patients having psychosomatic or phantom pregnancies which also ended up killing most of their patients. There’s also a mention of the “feedback loop” which causes affected people to do crazy things. He lick ya face first time you meet him. All of it is mentioned in the scriptures that you pick up, and then you start experiencing more and more of it as Blake falls deeper under the mind control/hallucinations created by the Murkoff Project. There isn’t an Umbellical chord toooo so the child is surely a hallucination I guess. Revelation 6:17 introduces the seventh seal: “For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” That seventh seal is spoken of in Revelation 8 and 9. They were in 4th grade and Blake’s responses to Jess infer that he is naive and innocent in response to the kissing scene of the play that Blake and Lynn are in. Another point is that Lynn was trapped in the mines, 800 feet below ground, for most the game. Here's the ending of The Killing Of A Sacred Deer explained, including its ties to Greek mythology. Or if you remember Cube Zero, where they analyze the dreams and thoughts of the subject. Not to mention whatever illnesses she contracted while being dragged around that place. Moreover, the hallucinations seem to suggest that the baby is a reborn Jessica. In my opinion the ghostly shape running through the corridor is Blake when he was young. Man i have a ideea did Ethan is the character we are playing in outlast 1? The Bezos divorce, explained Today, being a power couple doesn’t end when your relationship does. Jessica is clearly interested in Blake and holding hands with him as they are trying to exit the school. But then half the game wouldn’t make any sense because everyone was after the child. Her pregnancy (or hallucination thereof) is the biggest mystery – too many contradictions and missing pieces. Another point John makes in his document is that he saw insects, mouths and sex organs in his visions – exactly the same things Blake was experiencing (mouths coming out of telephones, tongues grabbing him, swarm of insect lifting him up on the bridge). Such as when the blood rain falls and dead fish in the lake. After he awakes, the prophet Knoth is sitting on a bench next to him. This is an actual phenomenon that occurs. Because it’s a “abomination”? Blake reunites with Lynn. father fucking God to death? The good Metro Exodus ending is largely similar to the bad one, besides one key detail that becomes apparent at the very end: Artyom lives (yay!) Laird is sitting on Nick’s shoulders and fires arrows. Blake only had like 1-2 School visions after that incident, and in the Chapel, Knoth stated to Josiah something like “The outsider woman has this world’s destruction in her womb! I don’t know if this was made clear anywhere in the game, but why can’t Blake fight back against anybody? Lynn had her right arm and both legs cut off and you can clearly see that in the mines scene. The raping theory could be backed up Knoth wanting Ethan to kill the baby within Anna and also wanting Blake to kill the baby when he had it in his hands. Skipping far forward to the very end, there is no baby, hence why Lynn says what she does. The religious symbols of armageddon throughout the game could also be explained by this. While the radio tower’s apparent effects is mind control, there’s obviously something supernatural about it.
