"Death is inevitable"
>One of the Factions are undead
I AM CONFUSION
It makes perfect sense. You either die or start off as dead in this scenario.
Also we're told in game that the graveborns can die. First there's a mind death were the graveborn lose their minds due to despair and turns to mindless zombie. Then there's a more conventional death as their bodies are still decaying, though granted at a much slower rate. You also get to slay graveborn and zombies in this event and the previous one. So they can also be killed.
@@clemi2601 graveborns used to be alive. Some of them possibly was lightbearer or such in their past life. They are the death faction. They are already dead tho can be killed in fights vs lightbearer who is stronger against them. Tho thats afk arena idk afk journey barely played but still same kinda that in their lore they used to be human or such and something corrupted or turned them. Or from the dead. As many of them are skeletons and already dead
@@clemi2601 they also in lore cant heal their wounds normally, iirc, and it takes magic to heal them
You forget the fact that wild animals in general only eat that much in the wild since they dont know when the next meal would be. Captuve wild animals like those in zoos eat way less. Plus taking into account that wild animals are able to go days and weeks without food in comoarison to a human id say that they should get full points as well
On top of that they eat that much and then can wait for a week before eating again.
As a Canadian When I heard him say -7 was really cold I laughed because I’ve worn nothing but jeans and a shirt at that weather then when he said-50 I was like “yup now that’s cold that’s stay in doors weather”
Agreed when F° and C° match or switch it's just to cold to do much more than walk to and from the car. To make sure it still starts.
As another Canadian I agree with this statement It’s literally -23 outside right now
As a fellow Canadian, I agree 100%
FR! i was like "... huh? thats not hard to survive it" I live in north Canada tho so -35 is our lowest
You being able to tolerate it because you have similar weather doesn't mean it isn't cold. It's still below the freezing point of water, which means it's cold.
Wilders: DON'T HURT NATURE!!!
Also Wilders: EAT THE PLANTS!
And here I thought normal vegetarians were crazy...
125 likes and no replies? Lemme change that.
I think it's mostly Elmer (the three Wilder) seeing as he is a literal tree and the other Wilders built house out of wood and stuff
Well it’s very simple
Breaking off some branches to make a hut or eating some plants is fine
Rapid deforestation of ancient redwoods that have lived longer than most of recorded history
Is not
I think we're supposed to interpret it more as "don't hurt the ecosystem," aka if you're going to take from the land for resources, do it sustainably so it doesn't disrupt the environment. There's a huge difference between collecting fallen branches and clear-cutting a grove yknow?
Hey vegetarians are fine vegans are the crazy ones.
No one gonna talk about the "raw dogging the elements" bit?😭
I’m going to rawdog this element
As soon as he said that i paused the video!
I’d rather be stuck in a forest with Mat Pat
YeaH
Great idea... In theory
@@AMERICANA1155IN GAME THEORY
@@AMERICANA1155 Survival Theory !
Hello internet my name is matpat and today we’re answering the question of how much food is on a human body?
This is some top level analysis to determine that animals are the best at surviving in the wild.
Name one animal that can and HAVE survived on any continent on Earth. I can, humans.
@@KBGazer Dogs/wolves. They naturally exist on basically every continent other than antarctica, and we've dragged them there too. If we're willing to overlook the most inhospitable continent this planet has (since that's more a travel issue than anything), almost every well-known genus of animals have some variation on every continent. Bears, monkeys, even snakes have managed to claim all 6 easily accessible continents and have managed to do so effortlessly enough that even the arctic can't slow them down.
The easier to answer question would be what animals CAN'T survive on any continent on Earth, and...well, humans are the worst off, since we actively need tools to pull it off. The only other ones that I can think of that can't do that are the Tasmanian Devils, who are isolated to Tasmania (in the continent of Australia) and are the only living species in their genus. And even then, their Order (skipping over Family because the generalization for that is being from Australia) is well known for defying any ecological niches and being almost excessively adaptable.
@@deadersurvival4716eh no humans CAN survive on any continent. I’m not discounting tools because the best survival skill is a brain and humans are the only ones who have been able to dominate the entire planet
@@deadersurvival4716 Really? So, you're saying I can air drop crickets, hummingbirds, lions, tortoises and Komodo dragons in Antartica and they will survive? Humans are the ultimate survivalists because we are the masters of adapting our environment to ourselves instead of adapting ourselves to our environment. BTW, looked it up, no Dogs/wolves in South America except the ones we brought with us.
I wanted to mention that there is a lore accurate answer to this question :)
So in the new season we get to meet in-game a Graveborn called Ludovic, who canonically lives in Whiteridge and he lives outdoors (the reason being he lives in the ruins of his mansion) and doesn’t freeze to death, nor is he using magic to protect himself from the cold, which you could argue Graveborns like Carolina probably do and even then she lives underground in her family’s crypt.
Like Tom said, he doesn’t need food, and is apparently not bothered by the cold. Also being a Graveborn he doesn’t need to worry about the green fire.
Valka could theoretically fit here too but we don’t know where she stays regularly.
On the other hand, to meet all the requirements set in the video the most likely answer as to who would not only survive but thrive is actually one of the characters introduced in the new season, Faramor, although he is not yet a playable hero he meets the criteria perfectly already in game.
He is a Wilder, but is a wolf hybrid like Shakir. He has more fur and a white coat which could be useful for camouflage (although that doesn’t come up in the story). He is adept at survival, you meet him while looking for refuge, so he already has that figured out. And as for food he is a carnivore but doesn’t have the same daily caloric requirements as the maulers (a wolf eating 3-4 pounds of meat unlike the 10-25 pounds a lion like Brutus would need). In story he is also trained to deal with the Undead and Graveborn, being one of the characters that mention the rules of not going outside at night and that fire should burn red, and being able to fight against them as one of his main character traits.
But hey, that’s just a theory :D
Thank you! Someone that actually plays! AFK Arena also goes more in-depth with all characters and has lore on why/how multiple Graveborns have endured harsh winters
@ oh that’s neat! I only played Arena a bit so I’m not too familiar with it, but wasn’t the lore changed between games?
I know some characters underwent pretty big lore changes between games, as Journey only took part of it as a starting point for the new world building
@Riricienta did character lore change? I never looked cause I've already read through all the arena characters' stories. With both having different developers, it makes sense
@@Justus4Libertea I’m pretty sure it did, I remember reading through some of it and it was pretty different specially from how you meet the characters in Journey. I particularly remember Silvina’s lore being a lot more in depth and Lorsan having a full on different story (specially now since he has finally been introduced as a hero after months of begging)
I have to disagree on the graveborn inability to stand the cold. I mean Valka, Ludovic and Carolina are three graveborn that lives in the Duchy of Whitherige for well over 2000 years. And add to that the multiple undead who've also lived the for well over 2000 years.
I though same. I think Tom is thinking too much about graveborns being zombies. + getting sponsored from Afk Journey to put pressure to do ANY type good/bad or down right wrong theory. But hey that just my thoughts.
I think it's just that they're taking a mixture of lore and science into account. Sure, maybe in the Game's Lore the Graveborn can withstand the cold. But science says they really shouldn't. And since this is more of a science focused episode (as they actively throw out magic, which is apparently a big thing for these Graveborn) any lore-based solutions aren't considered...
It's because at the start he said no magic, which considering how heavily involved magic is in this world is a large oversight
Rent can't be that high dawg 😭🙏
16:20 Wait, but isn't it a tie between the wilders and the maulers?
Shhhh, we have to get a winner
i thought so too!
Yeah 6 to 6
My thoughts exactly... We need a tiebreaker...
shelter is more important than the rest
Quick Maths: Which is greater: 6 or 6?
Tom: *SWEATING BULLETS*
I love the opening intro introducing the premise. Last few videos across the channels all felt too Wham Bam Thank you ma’am.
The second i saw "afk"
I knew 100% this was sponsored
But I'll be real
I HATE afk games SO much
Ikr afk games kinda suck
Journey is the only one I actually like lol. It never felt grindy and it has an actual story
real but idk i just find specifically afk arena and journey disapointing more than anything. The character stories and the lore are really good and its so sad to me that the gameplay sucks.
honestly i treat afk-A more like i do webcomics than a game, i just open it every few months to read all the new character stories and look at the new art.
totaly not botted likes for someome with such baseless "opinion "
I don't like afk unless your friend is afk in minecraft then it is a chance to get some cheap netherite
1:56 did anyone else see that the color of all the bottles were color coded as all the theorists channel
Me
Yesss
A theory on AFK journey can NOT be real😭😭😭😭😭😭
Used to play that game, never thought I'd hear about it ever again
If a company pays enough money for a video to be used as an ad. then sure. AFK Journeys can get one
Who calls their own game AFK journey??? Really tells you everything you need to know about the game.
@mrnobody9611but not really, the name tells very little about the game, afk is a very little part of the hame
Honestly 😭 imagine if they do one on AFK Arena😭😭
00:05 This might be hard for you to hear, but ALL trees are alive!!
Yeah just wait till plants can speak like us and I don't think vegetarians and vegans are going to be happy about what the plants have to say.
I'm sure he's very well aware. Really not a necessary comment
2:30 EXTREMELY COLD !? Thats just another tuesday for me (i live in Finland by the way)
@@sheikkaavalaama6982 same but I’m Canadian
@courtjester4088Same but I'm Midwestern American. It's the wind-chill and lack of direct sunlight that gets ya
@courtjester4088we just had -20C where I am in Canada.
Yeah, I laughed at that too. At -10-15 C°, I begin to count it as cold and extreme cold starts at -25-30 C°. (The north of Sweden for reference)
Iowa here, it has not been above 10 degrees for several weeks
I wanna see Tom talk about Regretevator. There's so much lore in it and from all the times I've played, there's probably more than just an random floor elevator game
I want to see matpat coming back😥
YES
Oml yess
Yessss
“ -1 to -7” Celsius, my brain laughs in Canadian, as I’m currently listening to this while shovelling at -29 with an-42 windchill.
Wait, if we are taking in account the green fire, wouldn't the grave born win then 🤣 Grave born doesn't sleep so they can just stay near the green fire for warmth and shelter , they just need to find a cave and burn the green fire, smoke doesnt matter and they don't freeze.
0:07 all trees are alive Tom.
"jarvis react to one of the 400 sponsor emails we got i need theory-credits" ahhh video
On the topic of food for humans, you got to take into account that humans can go up to three weeks without any food. So, technically, they could live off of the hunted meat and berries, if they ate the bare minimum to keep their strength up
This is hilarious. I play this game on and off and when I saw your video I was like no wayyyyyy? NO WAY!! lol I love it
I was doubtful if this was a bot comment or not, so I'll just ask. Are you a bot?
Cries because Tom liked my comment
Ad ends at 20:22
Wow
A commercial for AFK.
Are you proud of yourself, Game Theory?
Wait I'm not dreaming, Game Theory is covering AFK Journey 😭, I was not expecting it but thanks.
poor graveborn, "hey you magic undead creatures not bound by and incompatible with scientific understanding, yeah I'm just going to use a literal cadaver instead to actually be able to make this video." :3
At 6:19 the correct Fahrenheit temp would be around 89.6 Degrees F (according to google, but somewhere around there)
Ah yes, it drops from 95 Fahrenheit degrees to 95 degrees Fahrenheit
You're a role model for starting creators like me! Great video as always The Game Theorists!
Funny, I just saw you saying the same thing over on Game Grumps….
BOT BOT BOT BOT BOT BOT BOT
@@TheWooperDudeThey have a video on their channel, so I doubt it’s a bot, may be a spam account, but I doubt it’s a bot given they have a 10 minute video and 1.46k subscribers
He commented on the latest LTT vid too
Bro said the same to Ali A that’s right I saw u. Edit: bro literally buys subs and got 1 vid with no views. There not even subbed.
counter point, some of the graveborn have been in whiteridge for close to 2000 years
6:37 "We, humans, do not have natural fur." My arms, legs, chest, and back say otherwise.
Not what I expected from an AFK Journey theory, but it's very COOL!
Also, has Santi ever actually eaten brains? I know lamb brain is considered a delicacy and now I want a literal brain-food Food Theory.
And my favorite faction wins, yeah! Maulers!
4:30 To do what with the elements?! 🤯
0:15 the long dark sounds like
Polytopia is a great game you , should play It, you look like you would like it
god i loveee the long dark
-1 to - 7 as the average in Norway? More like -10 to -20 if you're in the northern half. It all depends on were you are. -1 to -7 I would say I pretty mild
I remember when the game first came out and they gave you guys a sponsorship and now you’re giving them a theory
I much enjoyed this episode, but I feel you need a lore deep dive since that changes some points. While I am for team Mauler, wilders are straight with no cutting things but rather find healthy ways to build shelters. You also forgot to include fishing in the food category since there is LOTS of fishing included in the game. From what I have seen every type of fish is edible to all members as well. I also wouldn't compare graveborn to zombies 1 to 1, since they don't decompose as they should it seems long as they keep their sanity, at least from my understanding from playing the game. I would love to see a lore video one day on Merlin especially with the new lore drops from the newest chapter.
So idk if you've already done this theory or if you're already doing it but here's a theory for poppy playtime. You know how there's a prototype? Wouldn't that suggest that there's a final project, "The Perfect Toy". What if the character you're playing as is a "human" who is actually a toy made to blend in and live in society as a human. The reason they went back to Playtime was to destroy any evidence of them being created. Seems like a pretty good theory to me
Is this a giant ad?😭
8:55 “The tree will convert starch into sugar” Ohhh, so that’s how Sap has natural sugar. I guess all those field trips to sugar bushes (Maple syrup distilleries) weren’t in vain after all.
Gravesborns should have won all the way. They're NOT ZOMBIES, they're immortals. Big difference. Their bodies are not rotting away, and the graveborns that you can see the inside of their body like Valka, you can see their hearts are beating. The cold don't bother them so they have been able to live in the duchy for over 2000 years, some of them are even friends with the Archduke himself because they used to be nobility. The reason they said not to go out after dark is because of the undead infestation. Unlike Graveborns, undeads ARE ZOMBIES, mindless and attacking anything that is alive. Unlike the other faction, because Graveborns are dead, the undead do not bothers them. Plus Graveborns don't need to sleep, so they don't need shelter. And since they don't need to eat either, they should be winning all the way.
Tldr: 1- the cold is not an issues, they won't freeze because they're not decaying zombies, they're immortals. 2- they don't need shelter because they don't sleep and the undead only attack the livings, 3- they don't need to eat. Like Ludovic said: Graveborns are living, but they're not alive. They're cursed with immortality.
The Death God is also their sort of Deity as many mortals like Carolina and Ludo were granted immortality by the Death God and along with Valka, it doesn't seem there's a particular agenda for Graveborn to be resurrected a lot of the ones in this season are probably the chillest and the ones who still have a bit of humanity in them as opposed to the Graveborn in Waves of Intrigue.
When I think about it the Death God doesn't seem all too bad but ig immortality is so tempting that a lot of those who end up seeking it are the bad Graveborn ie Hodgkin, Viperian, Bonnie, and Thoran
I really love the nuances given in Chains of eternity bc I had a sort of bias against the Graveborn as they're the antithesis to the Light Bearers thus they are the baddies of the lore.
Seeing as there are good and bad Graveborn makes it better.
tho I will admit I'd love the same nuance to be introduced to the Light Bearer faction, like I actually thought that the Carmine Whisperers would be the baddies of the Light Bearers but they are still good. It would be super cool to have bad light bearers as well having actual villain like characters who are either morally gray or black in that sense
you need to talk about dandys world it has more lore than you think
A literal living tree? Aren't most trees living? I'm confused, is the alternative an already dead tree that would be easier to break down into firewood?
Vietnamese type alive tree
Hope he does Poppy Playtime
There’s a LOT to uncover in Chapter 4
I learn more from game theory videos then I do at school.
@@XoticNovaa frfr
especially if we are talking about english
TOM I BEG YOU, PLEASE MAKE A REGRETEVATOR THEORY, its on roblox and i need you to solve the lore it has so much hidden lore i cant find it all
Omgggg yes pleaseeeee
Never heard of this game mode 🤔 I need check it out
I've been checking every day for a poppy playtime chapter 4 video an THIS is what I see.
I’d chose the bear because the man could be French
You literally posted this the day I hit max level and started the season storyline. Timing could not have been more perfect. 🎉
Hey guys I’m a HUGE fan can you do a theory about Sprunki you can use mine
Theory 1:Jevin is Blacks brother I think I know why Jevin and Black have both very dark colors and Jevin is a mage so Jevin might be using his power’s to stop the horror curse with the other survivors like durple,brud,owaqx and gray.
Theory 2:Mr tree has a soul inside of him:Mr tree has a soul inside I think I know because in Sprunki Retake phase 2 Mr Tree has been replaced with a human corpse
Canadian here where last week was just a we bit cold at -20C, bit nippy but not bad.
7 ads in a sponsored vid at 20min
Yikes
17:08 one of the first times where i can use my knowledge that i got from watching dr stone and actually know what would happen
Rainbow flames!
6:06 35C=95F... 15 sec later: 32C=95F... science!
Counting down the days until Poppy Playtime chapter 4 theory
WE NEED ONE FOR POPPY PLAYTIME CHAPTER 4
how dare they not make a poppy playtime 4 theory
Yeah, if I’m Away From Keyboard for too long, I’m probably dead
As for maulers.
U forgot epigenetics.
Spotted hyena used to roam accross eurasia during the ice age.
And modern hyena and lion do grow thiccer coat of furr in harsh cold environnement.
And for wilder
Ulmus is the scientific name of elm tree, which can survive in southern scandinavia and in the alps
And for food, well they're predators and scavenger, they are much better adapted to process meat and hunt than humans.
There's a lot of part we don't eat in a corpse, that they would not struggle with.
And there's also scavenging, as their digestive track can handle the pathogen from carrion while we can't.
Advantage on the Wilder
is there a poppy playtime chapter 4 theory coming soon?
When will Tom talk about Poppy Playtime Chapter 4?
where is our poppy playtime chapter 4 LORE VIDEO ????????

That’s just a theory….A Game Theory.
DANDYS WORLD THEORY! CMON!!!!
6 to 6 tie. Tom: WE HAVE A WINNER BECAUSE SPONSOR SAID SO. lol scrub.
Poppy playtime chapter 4 is so crazy matpat may need to unretire again to solve it
Chop chop with those poppy playtime chapter 4 theories
Ugh...I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of when a theory is 100% sponsor inspired. Just feels like a soulless drawn out theory coated commercial. But hey, I get it, bills ain't gonna pay themselves. I'd much rather Tom just stuck to writing theories about games that he actually cares about ya know? But hey, that's just me being presumptuous, this could be one of Tom's favorites for all I know.
Hold on, is -10° not a normal winter temperature?
(I come form Norway)
No not really
It’s -12° outside right now, and kids are playing, you guys think that is freezing
What absolute classic game theory that felt good. Learned some new things relevant to the real world while still getting more about a game I enjoy. Keep up the good work guys 😌
Never heard of the game but its from game theory so it must be good!
This is Tom trying to avoid Poppy playtime chapter 4
Nah I gonna do my own thing
GET TO POPPY PLAYTIME CHAPTER 4!!!
I thought the title said JFK and got VERY concerned
This video should have been a poppy playtime chapter 4 theory
Whoops, notifications popped up at the top of my screen.
Didnt mean to click this video.
Dear team theorist: I humbly request a theory on the Banjo Kazooie series! An idea I have is from the second game “Banjo Tooie” where the shaman Mumbo Jumbo oxygenates the water in jolly rogers lagoon so that Banjo and Kazooie can breath under water! How accurate is breathable water or is the sea life of the new overly oxygenated water doomed?
In an exceedingly elaborate and fanciful manner, one might articulate that the renowned and ever-astute canine sleuth, Scooby-Doo, is on the precipice of uncovering my elusive presence, as I currently find myself ensconced within the shadowy and somewhat enigmatic recesses of my basement-a subterranean enclave that serves as both a refuge from the bustling world above and a veritable treasure trove of forgotten artifacts and whispered tales. This dimly lit sanctuary, with its creaking floorboards and the faint scent of nostalgia lingering in the air, stands as a testament to countless adventures and mysteries waiting to be unraveled, all while I await the inevitable approach of my four-legged friend, whose insatiable curiosity and unwavering loyalty are sure to lead him straight to my hiding place, igniting a delightful escapade that promises to be filled with laughter, camaraderie, and perhaps even a dash of the supernatural.
what
That hurt my brain but thanks? 😅
What kind of weird fanfic are you trying to write here?
I bet the next theory will be poppy playtime chapter 4
Ahh I remember when Tom was still sane
Yo sup , I don't know of I'm late to reply but can do a theory about robin from teen titans go , like if he is a victim to the titan or like if he dies who will care the most !!? I really wanna know pls and thank you so much if you did it keep it up with the good work
