@@chriscausaren "Hello scientists that have been studying sciences for hundreds of years, i can hear this crystal speak to me" **gets sent to a mental institute**
be nice if his model didn't SUCK EGGS in the game. get rid of the derpy jaw mouth, make him move/act like a legit scorpion, and give his voice an echo like reverb to it.
When the big boom goes off in episode 3 you can hear this odd insect screech at the same time. I reckon that is a nod to the pain the 'crystals' are in when used like this.
Now that i wonder about Hexcrystals containing consciousness of the brackern, wouldn't it be cool if after it's inevitable rework, Blitzcrank got as an explanation for him becoming sentient, the fact that he became sort of "Mechanical Brackern"? Victor made robot with a mechanical mind (fully preprogrammed to act a certain way), but it's brackern's souls that gave it life and slowly made it sentient, showing it their memories, assimilating it into the hivemind and taking control over it. I think it would have incredible potential for moving the story of brackern and hexcrystals.
My question is this: is Camille's story being retconned a bit? Camille supposedly had her hextech heart installed 50ish years before the time that Arcane takes place. But in the show, it seems like hextech has just been invented, with no previous knowledge of hextech. Were there families (like House Ferros) that had discovered hextech already and were just keeping it completely secret, or has Camille's timeline been moved up to match the new invention of hextech?
Iirc, the dude that make Camille...kinda dies, she was a prototype, Necrit also mentioned in a video how it is possible people knew about hex crystals long ago, but they all kept it secret until they discovered how to make them work, and since no one did...
Either they are retconning Camille's lore to make her younger (which would be a really stupid thing to do and would make her less interesting), or House Ferros has been developing hex tech in secret for decades before Jayce was even born. The latter would make sense why they would go out of their way to be the one sponsoring Jayce and spearheading the public hex tech frontier, because they are the real inventors of the technology and want to take credit for it.
Well, Jayce is using Hextech Crystals to create magic, but as Necrit says, Hextech Crystals can be drained, or use the way Jayce use it... Maybe House Ferros is selling it since decades as a power generator ? Because it's the production of Hextech crystals that made House Ferros this powerful, so it will be weird that they kept it as a secret
knowing that the hex crystals only await for a new host and not exactly another brackern. I just realized, what if the crystal inside seraphine's headgear thingy from her lore. Was actually the hex crystal thinking seraphine is now its new host.
I am very behind on my Necrit videos, but now you are getting commissioned by riot? Omg, you have come so far man (at least since I last watched anything)! Love your content! Happy for you!
I kid you not, I felt pain every time I saw one of the crystals. Knowing what they are it just pains me seeing those poor souls suffering. Skarner and his kind are the real victims in the show...
Nice that Riot sponsored you. Your channel, and some others like tb skyen, is what makes the lore so fun and also makes indirectly free advertising for Riot so that we keep engaged to the lore.
The end of the vid is one reason I hope for a cameo of skarner. Perhaps Viktor or Jayce looking for the crystals origin and source of their power meeting skarner
@@Loliston the problem macross references is that the timelines don't really match. modern day is 10-20 years after the series first episodes. Meanwhile Camille was not terribly old when she was augmented with hextech to become sciccor-legs, while she should be older than 80 years in modern day. This means that, unless lore gets retconned or new info shows up, Cammille was about 60 at the time she was augmented
@@worldbolsamoht There's also the fact that Camille and Jhin fought in the theatre at some point which means that Akali, Shen, Jhin, Zed, Darius, Garen, and so many other characters are just being born or growing up right now. The timeline is kinda messed up if no one used hex crystals before Jayce. It also means that Jinx, Vi, and Caitlyn are either dead or grandmas by the time the Noxian invasion happens lol
@@Swagbastian none of that makes sense camille and jhin fighting would be something happening 15-30 years after the events that we've seen so far in arcane it wasn't something they did when they were young it just happened the time between when jinx, vi, and cait being born and noxian invasion happening is not at all 60-90 years I think
Thanks for the video! My question is So are synthetic hexcrystals made from splitting power from existing crystals into new "shells" (essentially multiplying them) or are they completely fabricated independently? The wiki doesn't seem to talk much about the production unless this is a closely kept secret, to us as well.
Ideas for Riot cinematic universe: - Anime series about Yasuo and Yone - Movie about the Darkins, with the inclusion of Kayn and the Scythe - A show or movie about Zed Shen and Jhin, it should be a mentally and emotionally damaging show, to emphasize the beautiful monster Jhin is. You could include Akali in it snd maybe a cameo of Kayn to link it with the Darkin Kayn movie, like they do in the Marvel CU - A movie about Shurima and the war between Azir and Xerath - A “Pirates of the Caribbean” type movie of the war between Miss Fortune and Gangplank, where there are appearances by Graves, Twisted Fate, Tahm Kench, and Pyke - A movie about Kai’Sa and the Horrors of the Void. Malzahar, Cho’Gath, Rek’Sai, Kha’Zix, and hopefully a new void monster champion should make appearances. Kog’Maw can be Kai’Sa’s cute little pet. This game is so deep in lore that it’s cinematic universe could easily overshadow anything Marvel or DC could put out And how cool would it be to have an omnipresent champion in all theses shows and movies, making subtle gets haunting appearances, building up to their own sort of run of screen time in the future. Many would think of Bard or Aurelion Sol, but I was thinking of Nocturne
(Sorry for the long comment) Before Arcane was released I remember a game by High Voltage Software who made Hunter: The Reckoning. A game called The Grinder, a alternate reality where classic horror monsters were a reality. It was inspired by Grindhouse movies and Firefly. On the console versions it mentions Wild Bill Hickok found a deposit of "Storm crystals." Similar use as Hextech. Could be used for weapons and energy. Wonder if they were inspired by this. Or maybe magic crystals used to power advanced technology is a cliche I'm not aware of.
It's good to have some can explain the things that interest everyone. Especially exploring the arcane, someone like Necrit makes the whole story makes sense and interesting.
@@Karol-dx2it nope, it was real HexTech crystals that Jayce have in that box... The ones who were using the synthetic version were the scientists who work for the Clan Ferros, and also the synthetic version is too unstable that it might actually just enter the state of 'meltdown' (radioactive form of explosion) at random times.
I had to stop playing league and don’t have Netflix so I appreciate you covering what’s going on. I had to stop just before Vex came out but I’ve been a fan since (and because of) Jinx’s release. I can’t thank you enough.
Hypothetically, if the HEX-Tech Core is actually a world rune, and since Simmer def appears to be void related, I mean its purple and it mutates stuff! And we know Victor used shimmer, maybe its a void corrupted world rune now?
God damn it, I absolutely adore this fit of yours, Necrit. Elegant, yet comfy. The video's also great, but that's what we've come to expect from you :P
I actually don't think using up the power of the crystals kills the Brackern, because when you interact with the depleted Hexcrystal in Jayce's bracelet it still mentions that you hear a humming sound (voice of the Brackern). So it's not dead just powerless? Maybe it can recharge and it only takes a couple of centuries?
Im new to lol and its lore, but after seeing the 3 episodes and hearing a little about the lore, I think the mysterious mage we see could be someone from the future, using future equipment to go back in time to save its creator. I could be way off but it is just a feeling. Leaving behind that rune felt intentional.
There's not really a lot of time travelers in League's lore so far (apart from Zilean, but I don't think he qualifies as a "traveler" per se, and Ekko, who's more of a short-time rewinder), so that actually could make sense, and pave the way for a new champion with interesting mechanics as well!
Maybe the way the mage used the Crystal in a way that didn't deplete it. By communing with the Brackern inside instead of just using it as as a battery. That will probably also be how Riot will explain how Seraphine is using them without the moral and ethical plot hole.
It's never been stated that all Brackern resemble scorpions like Skarner. Having Brackern potentially resemble various different types of crystalline insects would allow for more varied character designs. As a Skarner one-trick it's pretty exciting for him to potentially appear in Arcane.
Most terrifying. An actually awesome in the old sense bit of lore. Solid. Spoilers down here under the cut you've been warned: Jayce's Hextech Crystal bracelet says even drained of all arcane energy, something lingers. If the crystals can be recharged... Would you be able to just reinsert and go if you got a few more Brekker?
VGU FOR SKARNER PLEASE. Please. he looks terrible. just give us a Scorpion made of Crystal. come on riot if he shows up at a shurima digsite as this just monster of a beast surely that'll encourage a visual update like caitlyn?
"This video was commissioned by Riot Games." Excuse me? They actually recognized Necrit's work but still won't bring him into their lore team? Only way to make him work for them is to commission him I guess 🧐.
@@Lee-lm2bn I have a question from where did jayce find so many blue stones and where is that magical blue stones are found in which places in arcane series We know that wizard show him only one stone but from where did jauce find so many blue stone
I am really wondering if they will go with the Viktor and Jayce lore like how it originally is since the lore in Arcane is already so different. I really hope that Act 3 has Viktor do the GLORIOUS EVOLUTION. Also what the hell are they changing Camille's lore? Isn't she really old because of Hextech? I didn't know Jayce invented it because if that's true does that mean that NOONE used Hextech before? Maybe this was something that Camille and her house were already doing in secret and Jayce just managed to figure it out. That would be the better option and I hope they go through with it because Camille is an extremely cool character and is terrifying.
Riot should hire Necrit to do a lore check before they have a event that is based on lore, beacause as far as I have understood Necrit knows the lore better then Riot
I mean, kinda depends on what you mean by smartest? Like, Jayce and Viktor are brilliant scientists but Bard knows the secrets of reality and beyond. I think a Rioter confirmed that the three champions who know the most stuff are 3. Zoe 2. Swain 1. Aurelion Sol
Also something interesting to note, there is a good chance that skarner sees synthetic hex crystals as part of his species and that they are also suffering
Really wish seraphine will eventually able to know the crystals contains brackerns souls. (Current lore is retconned) and able to speak up or maybe even lead a protest group against the use of the crystals. I mean her entire character is about voice (singing) why don't make her a protesters that will be the delegations of brackerns voices? ((I just really hope seraphine lore will lead somewhere in the future))
It's not that easy I presume, first I don't think piltovans or zaunites would care, second, camille certainly won't stay silent about that, afterall hex crystals is her family's livelihood. btw hello fellow indonesian👋
@@dvvna I think if riot makes seraphine a well-known character in piltover and zaun as an idol, her voice will carry some influence in the cities (maybe not that big but a starter catalyst for the next plot progression on the conflict?). Just imagine, seraphine will be some kind of LeBlanc for the cities by not confronting people directly but influencing them and manipulate them(?) (She can hear souls, she can easily manipulate them if she wants) Also, it's nice to see another Indonesian necrit fan👋
ARCANE SPOILERS: But in Arcane we see how hex crystals are illegal in Piltover and Jayce is who invented hextech so how did the clan Ferros get rich selling them for years, what was the use of hex crystals before???
Nope, they're illegal only on piltover however they are not illegal on zaun. And we know that since the Zaun gray is the effect of the synthetic hex crystals so obviously Clan Ferros sells their crystals to zaun and other nations such as bilgewater (ex Grave's shotgun is part hextech made by misfortune's parents)
i can be wrong but i believe Benzo and others who were selling to Jayce had somehow gotten their hands on hex crystals and so it was illegal. or it can be that not everyone knows what exactly is a hex crystal and council got rich with.
Geez, people mined Skarner's race for hex tech before the synthetic crystals. Piltover was not kind to them. No wonder there's champions on the roster with his crystals
So it seems like, with arcane and new season league is getting a modernization: most of the older regions like frejlord and noxus will collapse or adapt to the abilities the newer regions possess, like piltover.
So what about Camille ? Did she get upgrated to a robotic human using Hextech before the beginning of Arcana ? The Ferros were already using the HexCrystals as a power source from what I gathered, so Jayce wouldn't be the inventor of Hextech, unlike what's shown in the show.
i cant belief that Necrit is actual an Human being with Body and everything else. i just know his Voice so he could be an AI or some Devil Mind too xD as always,thank you for bringing us the interesting things from this beautiful world to us simple Human beings
Havent started watching but my theory is that Jinx is schizophrenic because she started mind-melding being so close Brackern (Skarner's species) soul crystals (hextech crystals) Hextech in and of itself is a mash of "Hex" and "tech". Hexes are a type of disruption magic, or a curse that is known to "Jinx" things, people, or situations... so Jinx's new name (Since she was previously known as Powder) is a call to the fact that she has been hexed by some form of Brackern Soul-based magic. In IRL occultism, it is widely noted that soul-based magic incurs a Faustian bargain-like debt or has some sort of achilles heel. There is always a cost to using the power of a soul, especially if the soul-power being used isn't your own. Frequently, using your own soul power reduces your lifespan. When the power isn't yours, its almost always a faustian bargain. Also, crystals can literally physically grow in the right conditions. Although since this is magic, it should be noted that the magic component of the crystals may also grow in some way. The Brackern may be a type of reincarnation species who revert to a crystal orb form at end-ofn-life and then re-grow into a new body. But if they are taken out of their growing environment, then that is essentially killing them... at least physically. On the magic/soul-side whatever those crystals are used for would be akin to slave labor where their life force is forcibly extracted or used to power things agaisnt their will. Chemtech, or artificial hextech crystals (homonculuses, basically) is another bag of worms that is also noted in many IRL occult practices. It's *NEVER* good in the long run. In every instance where a being tries to (or does) create life; it never goes smoothly. _Including the Biblical canon of Christianity_
So if by using the crystals you consume the soul of the brakern within them, does that mean that the soul is the one that brings the power to the crystal? That means crystal's magic is a kind of spiritual magic, doesn't it?

Necrit as a part of Runterra right now. He just talks about it on the other side of the universe.
Damn Powder really committed two mass murders at once in that Finale
"This video was commissioned by Riot Games."
Excuse me? They actually recognized Necrit's work but still won't bring him into their lore team? Only way to make him work for them is to commission him I guess 🧐.
he is not a writer, he's a theorist and narrator
well, if he writes something i would probably read it
The fact they didn't retcon the Brakern is genuinely surprising
Skarner: Yes... very. i suppose i'll continue snipping the heads from their miners in secret then...
Thanks Rito and Thanks Nicret, this is amazing
We all know that Ryze was the one who saved Jayce and his mother, he damn near uses his ult to teleport everyone away :S
cept he aint blue
since when do Ryze use a staff? Maybe he's connected to the strange magician, but so far it's only speculation.
@@Lee-lm2bn I have a question from where did jayce find so many blue stones and where is that magical blue stones are found in which places in arcane series
We know that wizard show him only one stone but from where did jauce find so many blue stone
Good 4 u Necrit, hope everything is going great 😀
in true damage mv there is a building named Ferros i wounder if it is hinting at something cos arcane was also teased in true damage mv
I think Shimmer is deff void related
I am really wondering if they will go with the Viktor and Jayce lore like how it originally is since the lore in Arcane is already so different. I really hope that Act 3 has Viktor do the GLORIOUS EVOLUTION.
Also what the hell are they changing Camille's lore? Isn't she really old because of Hextech? I didn't know Jayce invented it because if that's true does that mean that NOONE used Hextech before? Maybe this was something that Camille and her house were already doing in secret and Jayce just managed to figure it out. That would be the better option and I hope they go through with it because Camille is an extremely cool character and is terrifying.
Riot should hire Necrit to do a lore check before they have a event that is based on lore, beacause as far as I have understood Necrit knows the lore better then Riot
amazing as always
Could you make a video about the 10-5 smartest champions according to the lore?
That'd be an awesome concept for a video, but with Arcane right now I doubt he will have time for this type of videos for a while xD
I mean, kinda depends on what you mean by smartest? Like, Jayce and Viktor are brilliant scientists but Bard knows the secrets of reality and beyond.
I think a Rioter confirmed that the three champions who know the most stuff are 3. Zoe 2. Swain 1. Aurelion Sol
Also something interesting to note, there is a good chance that skarner sees synthetic hex crystals as part of his species and that they are also suffering
Singed was mentioned in the credits of Arcane. The guy making the purple for Silko must be a young Singed.
It was Singed, it is also in the subtitles when he speaks.
Really wish seraphine will eventually able to know the crystals contains brackerns souls. (Current lore is retconned) and able to speak up or maybe even lead a protest group against the use of the crystals. I mean her entire character is about voice (singing) why don't make her a protesters that will be the delegations of brackerns voices? ((I just really hope seraphine lore will lead somewhere in the future))
It's not that easy I presume, first I don't think piltovans or zaunites would care, second, camille certainly won't stay silent about that, afterall hex crystals is her family's livelihood.
btw hello fellow indonesian👋
@@dvvna I think if riot makes seraphine a well-known character in piltover and zaun as an idol, her voice will carry some influence in the cities (maybe not that big but a starter catalyst for the next plot progression on the conflict?). Just imagine, seraphine will be some kind of LeBlanc for the cities by not confronting people directly but influencing them and manipulate them(?) (She can hear souls, she can easily manipulate them if she wants)
Also, it's nice to see another Indonesian necrit fan👋
Powder: My monkey bomb finally worked!
Mylo and Claggor: ...
Vander: ...
Singed: ...
Thousands of Brackerns: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
So happy for you Necrit!
Now that we have Albus Ferros in LoR. I'd love for the Ferros to show up in Arcane.
They did mention them at the start of episode 2. I doubt they'll leave them out of the show.
Awesome work man!
Can't wait to see Camille appear in Arcane
I come for a little tidbit of information
I go with a slight heartbreak
ARCANE SPOILERS:
But in Arcane we see how hex crystals are illegal in Piltover and Jayce is who invented hextech so how did the clan Ferros get rich selling them for years, what was the use of hex crystals before???
i think you just found a plothole
Nope, they're illegal only on piltover however they are not illegal on zaun. And we know that since the Zaun gray is the effect of the synthetic hex crystals so obviously Clan Ferros sells their crystals to zaun and other nations such as bilgewater (ex Grave's shotgun is part hextech made by misfortune's parents)
Just because something is illegal does not mean it cannot be done.
There's about to be a 10ish year timeskip, that's plenty of time for House Ferros to exploit the new industry.
i can be wrong but i believe Benzo and others who were selling to Jayce had somehow gotten their hands on hex crystals and so it was illegal.
or it can be that not everyone knows what exactly is a hex crystal and council got rich with.
Geez, people mined Skarner's race for hex tech before the synthetic crystals. Piltover was not kind to them. No wonder there's champions on the roster with his crystals
So it seems like, with arcane and new season league is getting a modernization: most of the older regions like frejlord and noxus will collapse or adapt to the abilities the newer regions possess, like piltover.
I would love if Brackern is remodeled to be the firstborn of runterra
So what about Camille ? Did she get upgrated to a robotic human using Hextech before the beginning of Arcana ? The Ferros were already using the HexCrystals as a power source from what I gathered, so Jayce wouldn't be the inventor of Hextech, unlike what's shown in the show.
i cant belief that Necrit is actual an Human being with Body and everything else. i just know his Voice so he could be an AI or some Devil Mind too xD
as always,thank you for bringing us the interesting things from this beautiful world to us simple Human beings
Congrats. You deserve the recognition and success :}
Damn. basically it's similar to FMAB Philosopher's stones. Souls used for magical power.
Necrit, i wouldn't be surprised if riot wanted to hire you for their lore team.
if jayce finds out the he will be on a sad depression state crying in his room
maaaaybe with the chemtech crystals they can stabilize them and pass the memories of the Brackern into to them to save their race
Welcome to anime analysis community necrit
Love the piltover hat
Necrit using a waistcoat and pyjamas, 10/10
So it's something kind of a philosopher's stone....
Necrit is our lore master 😁
Havent started watching but my theory is that Jinx is schizophrenic because she started mind-melding being so close Brackern (Skarner's species) soul crystals (hextech crystals)
Hextech in and of itself is a mash of "Hex" and "tech". Hexes are a type of disruption magic, or a curse that is known to "Jinx" things, people, or situations... so Jinx's new name (Since she was previously known as Powder) is a call to the fact that she has been hexed by some form of Brackern Soul-based magic.
In IRL occultism, it is widely noted that soul-based magic incurs a Faustian bargain-like debt or has some sort of achilles heel. There is always a cost to using the power of a soul, especially if the soul-power being used isn't your own. Frequently, using your own soul power reduces your lifespan. When the power isn't yours, its almost always a faustian bargain.
Also, crystals can literally physically grow in the right conditions. Although since this is magic, it should be noted that the magic component of the crystals may also grow in some way. The Brackern may be a type of reincarnation species who revert to a crystal orb form at end-ofn-life and then re-grow into a new body. But if they are taken out of their growing environment, then that is essentially killing them... at least physically. On the magic/soul-side whatever those crystals are used for would be akin to slave labor where their life force is forcibly extracted or used to power things agaisnt their will.
Chemtech, or artificial hextech crystals (homonculuses, basically) is another bag of worms that is also noted in many IRL occult practices. It's *NEVER* good in the long run. In every instance where a being tries to (or does) create life; it never goes smoothly. _Including the Biblical canon of Christianity_
So if by using the crystals you consume the soul of the brakern within them, does that mean that the soul is the one that brings the power to the crystal? That means crystal's magic is a kind of spiritual magic, doesn't it?
Is there any other kind of magic though?
3:08 are we getting seraphine? Since her lore is all about Hextech crystals.
we'll see a very Smol Seraphine sitting somewhere maybe lol.
