Its interesting that they fully programmed a password that actually does something even though its impossible to get the password in the first place. But seeing the wonky pose and lack of collision for the Prisoner's corpse, they definitely knew it would be impossible to get the password normally; yet the fact that they even programmed the sarcophagus and modeled the dead prisoner in the first place...
that is so cool that he is there and the coffin is opened if you dont have to die to get him out. i still love this game so much after a million hours and watching other find all the cool things too. xen-42 has some really good videos on where all the parts are stored in the physical game world. so genius how the devs made the whole thing. finding all the little secrets and quirks of the game dont make it any less special :)
Love the interaction you have with this guy. "Hi friend, nice to meet you, I've been yearning for death for hundreds of thousands of years, goodbye" Black Mirror ass scenario
the end gives night mother coffin vibes lol also your death was the typical "loses a lot of time by trying to go fast" haha also also I feel like it'd have been a lot more efficient if you went to the prisonner fire immediately, not sure why you specifically wanted to go through the tower =p
Ohhh why did you have to go and dash my hopes, I always thought it was a good 50/50, that maybe the water was protective from the ghost matter :( I love- no, adore this game though, the fact you really can do anything you think you should be able to. Like crack the codes. There is a universe where the hatchling spends a thousand cycles guessing them.
Iiiiiiiiii don't think that Owlks died from Ghost Matter tho, it's just been too long ::( think of it as a chance to meet famous historical figures, you wouldn't just feel sad that they died but glad that you had a chance to meet them ::D
@@mangelsimonpaniello2256 I guess I always saw it as a bit of a tossup, whether their life support systems could potentially let them live for much longer while asleep, until the ghost matter wiped them all out. It was an interesting idea to play around with, especially with the ghost matter scattered around the Stranger spurring such thoughts. But the timelines do also match up with them having all died long before the Nomai received the signal.
@enoshade they died after the Nomai received the signal, otherwise they would have been unable to imprison the prisoner, unable to leave their simulation
@@zchris13 I assume the signal travels at the speed of light (or the version of it in this universe) and so it could have taken millenia or even millions of years for the nomai to receive the signal. I think both interpretations are valid, I do still like the ghost matter wiping out both of them one though - there's something very interesting about the idea of the Owlks existing in the system at the same time as the Nomai and simply not noticing them because they are all hidden away in their dream world.
@@kay_jello So, there's 8 different symbols and 5 symbols in a code.

And if you open the vault, you don't meet the prisonners and you go in real world, will his flame stay lit?
Yes, if you open the vault in the simulation but do not meet the prisioner there, the flame in the real world will still be lit.
I checked and yes it does stay lit

also your death was the typical "loses a lot of time by trying to go fast" haha

You’re right I hadn’t played in a while and I forgot the prisoner has a fire
hundreds of thousands of years is definitely too young to die

Ayo, just wanted to point out that the title is a spoiler. Some people may not have played the dlc yet
Nice ! How did you get the third code ? Pls dont tell me try and retry lol
Lol no, the codes were datamined. I don't want to know how long it would have taken otherwise
Well you can kill yourself on top of the green campfire and the totems won't detect you. That's how it's actually done
