With regard to the Void Fiend being a commando, the SoTV store page had the morse code videos teasing new content and before the Void Fiend was revealed the morse code translated to "The first returns". Once the Void Fiend was shown that video was removed from the page, so that leads me to believe that the Void Fiend is the commando from the first game.
Correction: Void beings are not space cops; they are collectors for whatever purpose, and the only reason they didn't "collect" Petrichor V in the plenatarium yet is due to Providence beating them. When you kill Providence and Mithrix, you enable their invasion, which they do so IMMEDIATELY, and swallow the planet directly after your narrow escape. These are better explained with specific item logs on showcase in Squatch Gaming Official's vido on the lore of the void.
@@wortwortwort117 Why should I? You ask me a question after 1 year of me writing it. I have given you a source in the original text, learn and let us know.
@@wortwortwort117 They capture anything "special", "powerful", or has "knowledge" of what they do. Acrid is a smart creature who knew of the void creatures and was also powerful enough to stop some of them.
Personally my theory with the void jailer log book entry isn’t just that it’s talking about being corrupted by the void, but also traversing the void in general without being detained. Aside from the null portal, there is no other way to escape the void. Even after the survivors beat the voidling, there is no way of knowing the final portal lead out of the void, it only went deeper. Where the survivors presumably faced even more horrors than before.
@@gratingasshat2995 i like to think simulacrum is the place where they are sent after being killed by the voidling living different scenarios over and over again
browsed around the lore a bit on the wiki, apparently the void doods, after detaining targets, find a way to turn it into data and store them, and the void fiend and acrid are the only ones who got out from being stored in this way, while everyone else is shoved into a different storage area, and their data is pulled to run the simulacrum.
15:52 My theory on the Void Locus logbook is that it is Void Fiend pre-transformation. Eating void goop is exactly what I think would turn you into a Void Fiend
Could also include the lore about the bottle of chaos. Lore tells from the perspective of the void and how they can't conquer Petrichor V because of Providence.
Actually, it was talking about the imps and the imp overlords. The bottle has the insignia of the imp eye. Also the Void represent order in a way, detaining beings who have become too powerful. So the item being called bottled chaos wouldn’t make much sense if it was connected to the void.
@@yorickvlt1021 yeah, but they’re organising those powerful beings into cells, as seen in the backgrounds of void locus, the simulacrum and the planetarium. Edit: nvm, it is talking about the Void. But I still don't get why there is an imp eye on top of the bottle. Could it maybe be talking about both?
I thought it was talking about the newts hidden realm. It mentions a crystalline blade coated in chaos. The void reavers you see in the bazaar are covered in crystals, likely from another failed attempt.
I know this is more of an easter egg, but it seems like the void can capture things from other universes. In the Planterium(where you fight Voidling) you can see the Halo Ring from Halo, Pop Star from Kirby, Eggmans Death Star from Sonic, and apparently a Metroid planet(although idk.). Im not expecting this to be cannon, but it would be an awesome idea to see the void capturing things from other universes. It makes sense too. These creatures love to capture powerful beings, artifacts, or weapons. The Halo Ring is a weapon capable of killing off life in a whole galaxy. Pop Star has one of the most powerful star warriors inhabiting it. Eggman Death Star, is well... a Death Star. Metroid creatures are extremely powerful.
To add to this, the Metroid planet seen in the Planetarium is Zebes; a planet that was inhabited by the Chozo (an ancient powerful civilization, who created Samus' suit), before being invaded by the Space pirates and turned into a base where they studied the Metroids (powerful creatures capable of absorbing life energy that were planned on being weaponised; presumably some of the most dangerous creatures in the Metroid universe)
I agree with your interpretation of "Her" as N'kuhana, since if I recall correctly, the "gift" which Mithrix covets that Providence was given is the ability to command Soul. Without Soul, Mithrix is only capable of making automata without much spiritual power. Providence, meanwhile, was able to create things like the Grovetender which could directly manipulate souls. Who would better be the origin of the gift of Soul than N'kuhana, arbiter of the balance between life and death?
Fair argument, except Mithrix can create lunar chimera wisps by himself while exiled on the moon, and while he is disgusted by it, he creates them using fire, which seems to be how souls are made, as groovetender uses it too for wisps
@@azalakhir918 True, but we see elsewhere that Mithrix had been salvaging anything his servants with the beads of fealty could acquire, like the scraped up ashes within hellfire tinctures. I'm wondering if what little Soul exists on Commencement is scrapped from Petrichor V's creations
@@fel7807 True true, we dont really have an idea of how he makes things by himself but we know that he is able to, even if most of it is just white rectangles
Don't think Providence made the grovetender? If I remember correctly it was one of the 'races' providence saved from another planet (much like lemurians etc)
What about the void infester logbook mentioning Tharson? It says that Tharson will be sent to investigate, then cuts to someone being killed after being infected. I think Tharson might not be okay from his encounters…
Don't know if this makes much sense, but I like to think that the lore entries of different things end up hinting at future additions to the game. For example, the Void Fiend seems to break free from its prison, becoming what it is now, and if it's a corrupted commando, then it hasn't been imprisoned for too long. Then if you look back at Acrid's entry, upon being reformed from the cell, Acrid knows that the void enemies are panicking, and suggest that they imprisoned something they couldn't contain, that possibly being the Void Fiend itself. If that's true, it'd be a neat little tie-in, and makes me wonder what other things might be hinted at that could be added in the future (Chef bot when?)
I imagine that it was intended to be about acrid and how is acid is so potent that even the void cells couldnt contain it. though its also suggested that acrid might be making it up
I love how the Simulacrum is hinted to not just be a test... but also the fact that we as the player in that ending fall into it. Both ways of unlocking the Void Fiend are tied to the same thing. Simulacrum. Finding it or going into its depths decently far. I love how this lore exists and even without the lore which directly says it there is lore from the Void Lobster, Void Plant, and Void Reaver which all mention the various aspects of it. Measurement of land to make copies, the Flora and Fauna you see, the horrific panic inducing nature of it.
The fact that the simulacrum's descriptions seem to repeat, almost frantically, that it's just a simulation means that it 100% isn't just a simulation and has extremely sinister overtones.
Yeah and something that is interesting is that in the simulacrum description it repeatedly says that it is a simulation, which kind of makes you think that...it isn't. Would make sense for the void, simulacrum, and the voidling to be all connected. I'm ngl I just want matpat to do a video on ror
cool to see my comment pop up in this follow up. in the meantime, the corrupted void items have some cool logs. the Tri-Tip Dagger and Needletick are related, and the Lost Seer's Lenses have eerily similar language to Transcendence.
Railgunner’s log is a reference to Russell’s conversation with Carl in “Up”. The “snipe” apparently didn’t exist but they found one that they called Kevin later on in the film
Dude I love your editing/ jokes. You got a cool voice that's easy to listen too. If you want a small but of advice, you can try recording in a closet space, where you hang your clothes. It should dampen the echo quite a lot. Either way, hope to see you again here!
It doesn't make sense how the reavers died in the bazaar without their detainment fields being activated. Their bodies shouldn't be in the bazaar because when they die they release a detainment fields.
It could be a similar case to how we get Artificer, who was more or less trapped in 'physical time'. Newt probably killed the Reavers normally, like we do, and then used the crystals to stop their self destruct sequence by freezing time. Honestly kind of fitting considering time is paused in the Bazaar.
It most probably has something to do with the fact that Newt is capable of time manipulation. Most probably, Artificer was causing ruckus in the bar, so he froze her, similar to the Reavers. Maybe he didn't even kill them, just immediately froze them so they could no longer cause any ruckus.

about the tar apothecary: the planet of Aphelia is NOT the same as the Abandoned Aqueduct; Providence brought the Aphelians/tar people from their planet to Petrichor V and because of that the Tar began to respread on PV, with AA being the site of the Tar's starting location and the Aphelian Sanctuary being a separate location that houses the Aphelians that managed to cleanse themselves of the Tar, along with their offspring
Ill defend egocentricism for one reason. If you are an Acrid player and willing to be a good friend in a coop setting, you can basically fill the role of the garbage bin. You just eat every warbanner and chronobauble you get.

when they say they saw a "CHEF bot" it reminds me that adding chef to this game would be very confusing because he was good in the first game because its 2D.
Could the "Moron" who went to the portal be the void fiend cause he got corrupted and he describes great pain and so is described through the simulacrum
I am really interested in the voids association with crustaceans and clams. I feel like there's a reason for this. Also doesn't the whole theme of the void feel like it parallels a descent into unknown, like the deep blue? I feel like these relations are really odd.
Maybe it's because the Void is always regarded as "The deep", and crustaceans and some clams are associated with the ocean; more specifically, the ocean floor

To me, the log for the void barnacle is a deceptive message from the void itself. Kind of like a weird alien signal. It is inviting and constantly reassuring. Reminds me a bit of that one SCP that goes: "You do not recognize the bodies in the water."
REX is not unique, but only because of the plant surviving. In the REX log book, two people talk about robots trying to grow plants in space and all of them failing except one. That one actively seeks out windows on the space ship that have sunlight for the plant and I think some other things I don't remember off the top of my head. The (I assume) executive talking to one of the scientists then says they must terminate the robot because it broke protocols taking the plant out of its habitat area, which means it can't be trusted and probably some other asimov's rules of robot shenanigans As for captain, I think saying he's unique because of his shotgun is technically alright because there's no way there's another captain out there with a shotgun for an arm- although it's not like another person in a captain position can't also pick up a shotgun- but I think the more important part is the role, which you do mention there being more than one captain.
what if it's a lemmerion but he ate ate human food after baking hald prisoner by the humans and then using the logs to write and then he compares it to clam chowder

I think I have a pretty solid theory on the void fiend. I am almost certain that he is commando from the first game, and this is becuase of multiple lines of evidence. The first being that in the void fields log, we do not know who it is, so it could be commando going through the portal and, by being there, slowly turn into the void fiend. Something that backs this up is of you look at the void fiends character, you can see he has a similar helmet to commando, he is wearing some kind of shoes similar to commando, and he is a similar build, if you take away the huge crustacean arm. Also, I think the simularity between void fiend and commandos ability's isn't a coincedence. (excluding corruption mode) both m1 have a kind of short beam/laser kind of attack, the m2 shoots a phase ball or shot of some type, and their shift is a agaility item. And I think it would explain why the void fiend is willing to help the survivors, as literally no other entity from petrichor 5 is friendly, bar scavenger and newt as they technically are "neutral". It could also be the void fiend escaping the deep void that causes these void seeds to suddenly appear. Pls like this to get it seen if you agree.
This comment kinda only proves that void fiend was *A* commando, not the first commando, and upon the release of the dlc hopoo outright says that void fiend is a corrupted commando on the steam page for SOTV
@@blazeyude9999 on the steam page under survivor 2: Harness corruption with void fiend. “Turn the corruption in your favor and harness the power of The Void. A corrupted commando is torn between controlling his new powers and being consumed by them.” Edit: also a neat bit of information the first letters of all of VF’s abilities are the same as ror1 commando’s abilities Double tap -> Drown Full metal jacket -> Flood Tactical dive -> Trespass Suppressive Fire -> Supress
most likely late to this, but there was a scrapped ending after entering the void portal when killing voidling. The ending consisted of all of the void related enemies "shutting down" in a manner that's similar to a stereotypical robot shutting down. The ending is still in the files, 100% intact and essentially finished. There's a mod that enables, all this leads me to believe it was cut very late in Survivors of the Void's development. maybe they're constructs of some kind, idk? Not exactly a theorist myself. But I thought it would be important to add.
9:30 I GODDAM KNEW IT, ever since I have unlocked him as a character I was like “it must be one of the survivors after they beat the voidling, and the helmet looks like the one from comando” but I had no confirmation.
I just now came across the last video and this one and I got to say, you did a great job! Straight to the point, informative, and very entertaining. There was a lot I didn't know. I'm excited to see your future roguelike content!
On the topic of the larva, blind vermin, and blind pest, the research format used for them is very common. D. Furthen and Tharsen are responsible for the logs for many other monsters, like the parent and hermit crab. There's no real thing of note, just some worldbuilding.

The (I assume) executive talking to one of the scientists then says they must terminate the robot because it broke protocols taking the plant out of its habitat area, which means it can't be trusted and probably some other asimov's rules of robot shenanigans
As for captain, I think saying he's unique because of his shotgun is technically alright because there's no way there's another captain out there with a shotgun for an arm- although it's not like another person in a captain position can't also pick up a shotgun- but I think the more important part is the role, which you do mention there being more than one captain.
This video was great other than you calling ego a bad item. ego is like bungus but for merc. highest tier possible.
12:13 I honestly think it's just a reference to W.D. Gaster's "Dark. Darker. Yet darker." the wording is too similar to be a coincidence
I felt kinda touched listening to the outro section of the video, if you consider making more content like this I would be super happy to follow along
straight up put a carton over your head and microphone to record audio. It may look stupid but it works quite well.
what if it's a lemmerion but he ate ate human food after baking hald prisoner by the humans and then using the logs to write and then he compares it to clam chowder
i kind of interpreted acrid being imprisoned in the void partially as being a way to contain the destructive epidemic
i feel like ego is a decent item i personally have been carried by it, but i see why people hate it, though its better taken late game
nah find a newt altar stage one and get one immediately if you really want a test of your speed. Can you outrun your own ego?
@@SkunkfapGaming Better yet, spawn next to a lunar bud that contains ego. Next, survive till you reach the Bulwark's Ambry(Artifact of Sacrifice). Then go watch RUclipsrs shit on Ego while you become an immortal Demigod.
i've found that n'kuhana was something of an apostle to "her", but i could be off point as well.
Survivors Of The Lean
Bro you need to get better at explaining lore lmao. "Robot daddy issues"?
Is there any lore that indicates whether Bandit is the same or different from the one in the first game
He's a different bandit. That heard about the rumors of the contact and likely knows ror1 bandit
@@InsertSomethingStupid2002 where's that stated
@@TurnTwister His log entry. He talks about the contact as if he's only heard about it. And also mentions why the first bandit mightve been on ship in the first place
@@InsertSomethingStupid2002 woah
I think I have a pretty solid theory on the void fiend. I am almost certain that he is commando from the first game, and this is becuase of multiple lines of evidence.
The first being that in the void fields log, we do not know who it is, so it could be commando going through the portal and, by being there, slowly turn into the void fiend.
Something that backs this up is of you look at the void fiends character, you can see he has a similar helmet to commando, he is wearing some kind of shoes similar to commando, and he is a similar build, if you take away the huge crustacean arm.
Also, I think the simularity between void fiend and commandos ability's isn't a coincedence. (excluding corruption mode) both m1 have a kind of short beam/laser kind of attack, the m2 shoots a phase ball or shot of some type, and their shift is a agaility item.
And I think it would explain why the void fiend is willing to help the survivors, as literally no other entity from petrichor 5 is friendly, bar scavenger and newt as they technically are "neutral". It could also be the void fiend escaping the deep void that causes these void seeds to suddenly appear. Pls like this to get it seen if you agree.
This comment kinda only proves that void fiend was *A* commando, not the first commando, and upon the release of the dlc hopoo outright says that void fiend is a corrupted commando on the steam page for SOTV
@@Brio24 bruh they said that?? I thought I was like being smart for figuring it out but clearly it's obvious XDD
@@Brio24 upon checking it, I don't see where it says commando. It says corrupted *survivor* not commando
@@blazeyude9999 on the steam page under survivor 2: Harness corruption with void fiend. “Turn the corruption in your favor and harness the power of The Void. A corrupted commando is torn between controlling his new powers and being consumed by them.”
Edit: also a neat bit of information the first letters of all of VF’s abilities are the same as ror1 commando’s abilities
Double tap -> Drown
Full metal jacket -> Flood
Tactical dive -> Trespass
Suppressive Fire -> Supress
I don't think VF is so much helping the survivors as it is just having its own adventure to escape the planet and corrupt other people.
i would say the blue dragon is the overloaded worm
no, it's my house now

Fake news didn't ramble enough
most likely late to this, but there was a scrapped ending after entering the void portal when killing voidling. The ending consisted of all of the void related enemies "shutting down" in a manner that's similar to a stereotypical robot shutting down. The ending is still in the files, 100% intact and essentially finished. There's a mod that enables, all this leads me to believe it was cut very late in Survivors of the Void's development. maybe they're constructs of some kind, idk? Not exactly a theorist myself. But I thought it would be important to add.
You are a god
Kinda hope we get another dlc where providence shows up somehow.
He's dead tho
he physically can't show up you kill him in the first game
@@ibymalik4139 How many times?
He's the final boss of the first game
9:30 I GODDAM KNEW IT, ever since I have unlocked him as a character I was like “it must be one of the survivors after they beat the voidling, and the helmet looks like the one from comando” but I had no confirmation.
Friendly void buddies :)
Dang wish it would come out on consoles
14:10 actually, I think the "blue dragon" was an overloading worm, that story is referenced in the Worm's logbook entry

Just want to ask: you mentioned in your last iceberg that an unused artifact code in the credit scenes and I was wondering was it implemented or?

Ego centric is shitty? Pls use with engi or merc. Easily one of the coolest items in the game
I just now came across the last video and this one and I got to say, you did a great job!
Straight to the point, informative, and very entertaining. There was a lot I didn't know. I'm excited to see your future roguelike content!
The multi double rebar gameplay is wholesomely accepting :))))
I liked both of your videos ...... And I didn't mind the audio quality 🤣
On the topic of the larva, blind vermin, and blind pest, the research format used for them is very common. D. Furthen and Tharsen are responsible for the logs for many other monsters, like the parent and hermit crab. There's no real thing of note, just some worldbuilding.
For like $15 you can get these acoustic foam panels you can place on your walls
pretty cool video
The glass beetle guard and beetle remind me of the fighting polygon team from super smash bros
hey, i could be wrong, but i think the timestamps were placed in the description wrong
nah egocentrism is an awesome item idk what you're talking about
I"m just glad to have sat here enjoying the video. If you do not continue it was a nice two episodes.
Nice

Gunfire is fun as hell, shoot for the moon, man.
I would've thought "Her" be related to a frosty fella, since Her Biting Embrace gives u the power of popsicle
I see it as a reference to death, which fits N'kuhana
Rip lamp also nice content :)
Do a risk of rain 1 iceberg :D
whats the music playing in the outro part?
I MADE IT IN!
Oh my guy just comes back
Thanks for making this
