  • Speculation/Foreshadowing after Dullahan

    If there are players who understand Korean, could any of you please post a translation or a summary of the text of the event mentioned in StudentOfTheGoddess's spoiler?

    (A video containing the info in the aforementioned spoiler will help too)

    You can watch the same thing I did here, I timed it near the ending cutscene, but if you really want spoilers on how the episode goes, watch the whole thing.

    EDIT: Asked a KR friend for some quick run down at the ending cutscene.
    Morrighan shows up (That place where we fight Aes is the entrance of Erinn) and she says that Aes was the gatekeeper. She decrees that we're not ready to cross over and that Fragarach is not awoken yet. She also says a few things about fate, like how it is completely absolute and that it is folly to go against it, then she sends us back.

  • Can Brynn leave the Magic Lab?

    Alright, here is what really happened, S1 happened, then a mysterious voice tell the player that there is still a side of the story they don't know, and that they should go through the same events but this time without interfering with Keaghan and Tieve, which is why they are back in Season 2. Regardless, fate couldn't be changed and Tieve and Keaghan still became Cichol and Morrighan. Of course, Elchulus was still released, with his release Erinn descended, time stopped due to his influence.
    However, most likely due to Cichol, Erinn is incomplete, which is why there are 2 Brahas, and the same applies to Ancient Glas. When Brynn is taken to check the summoning remnants in Ben Chenner, he identifies the magic as his own, or rather, magic he had been studying to summon the goddess. Which according to Season 1 he did, he even states in S3: "With Erinn this close, it might work this time", and Nyle even asks "This time?".
    Basically time condensed, which shouldn't have happened according to Muir, in contrast to Braha however, only 1 Glas exists in Season 3, the summoning still occurred, but this time it was on the Ben Chenner ruins, the summoner was still Brynn in Ainle, but because of condensed time, Glas was on the Ruins, Riley never tackled the beast, and Brynn never became bound to the lab.
    Now, the reason no one remembers Tieve or Keaghan is an effect of Elchulus' time fuckery too, whenever someone dies, they become forgotten, like when Marrec, Aodhan and Riordan died, no one remembered them, the same happened to Ceara when she stayed behind to draw some maps for the royal army at the Ben Chenner summit (they were all slain by Lugh). Tieve and Keaghan are not dead per say, rather they ceased existing when they became their respective gods, but technically, they died, so no one remembers them too.
    As it was explained by Macha and Riley, memories have a bit of a fail safe to them, once something is forgotten due to Erinn, the memories fill themselves in order to fix the void, this gets harder when more inaccuracies occur, and then the person either remembers or they go mad. Brynn almost fell to madness after the player defeated Glas, but he managed to remember Tieve and the later events of S1, how he guided the player and Keaghan to Heide, how he wanted us to save Tieve, though it came back to him slowly and painfully. This is the reason Elchulus needs to be sealed again, Erinn is collapsing, which is why Heroes are needed, Lugh was the last Hero, and now the player and Milo are considered the next Heroes, they are the ones supposed to remember and help the rest remember, and the ones to seal Elchulus (though, their fate according to Muir is to be forgotten, as only the name of the dragon is remembered).
    Unrelated but still somewhat relevant, Macha said she sped up Erinn's collapse somehow, and Muir noted as well that Erinn was collapsing faster than it should.

    My scources are "writting down every last detail that is spoken, or seen. Every last dialogue line from season 3".

  • Vindictus Main Story Summary

    I played from the 4th S1 episode to S3, and I can summerize the transition of s1 to s2 like this "After season 1, a mysterious voice, assumed to be the voice of Cichol tells the player that they know only half the story, and that they need to see the rest. The voice also says that despite the change in choices, destiny will not change, and Tieve and Keaghan will end up exactly in the same place. So time reverts back to shortly after the Decisive Battle where the Rookie defeats the Gnoll Chieftain, and the voice tells the player to go to Malina. So the Rookie has the opportunity to avoid interfering with Tieve and Keaghan and hope they won't again end up as Morrighan and Cichol, but like the voice said in the beginning of S2, destiny will not change, and basically it's to see what else needed to be seen."
    Currently, I'm checking the s3 dialogue which for the most part is the same, but for the Ancient Glas episode there are changes in dialogue, the Muir and Regina part is pretty much the same, the Braha part retains the same things too, but I'm completing it with more information too. The S1 and S2 story is relatively the same too, the major change is with the Pact Story (now you face the Blood Lord and Nyle explains to you the vampire story, a shame I had already done the Ainle part with my fiona and didn't get much of it) and with quests getting streamlined, so like, you don't have to face Lionotus twice, or forge the cadet badge, or find the Ergs for Kean in Fobellow Praire. S2 has some more introspective (S3 as well) regarding certain events, like when Ellis goes to die again, or character thinks to him/herself how nothing is changing, or when Kean asks us for the Erg and we can't go to Fobellow, we tell him we already know the royal army base like the back of our hands (because we were the before but not really) and know where they keep the spoils of war. On the larger scale it's the same, it's just better explained and better story telling. I'll be sure to update my summary as well once I get all caught up and correct everything I have to correct, furthermore, with the help of LynnCUBE I've got some translations for what happens in the Dullahan episode, but it's a very streamline thing.

  • Vindictus Full Story, Season 1, 2, and 3.

    Season 3

    Explenation
    Season 3 happens after both timelines that had the Rookie involved merge, so both the events of season 1 and the events of season 2 happened,
    even though you couldn't be in two places at the same time, this is all speculation of course, but I think it makes sense because Elchulus is a time thingy that does stuff with time. It is also worth noticing that Season 3 not only works on an "Episode" system, but also a "Chapter" system

    Chapter 1
    Episode 0: Prologue: Paradise of Oblivion
    You get a letter from the mercenary guild Crimson Blade to assist the royal army in a war with
    the fomors. The veteran mercenary will be fighting as the vanguard for the royal army, which
    consist of Aodhan and Merrec. The player is still a "rookie" therefore will be place as a guard of
    Rocheste Castle. The royal army and the veteran mercenary head out with the player staying
    back at the castle. A loud noise came from the docks, there you spot a giant blue sea monster
    reeking havoc all around him. You stop and imprison him. He proceeds to question if you
    remember something others do not. The royal army came back shouting how they incur no
    casualties, but something was wrong. You do not see Aodhan or Merrec, nor do people
    recognize their name. You head to the place of battle to find bloodied gear of the two.
    (assumed dead)
    There you find Cichol telling you,
    "...If you could relive your life, knowing that you would one day lose everything...Would you
    still make the same choices? Is that what we call "destiny? Don't you want to turn everything
    back to the way it was?"
    This nice video goes through all that you just read, just skip the Muir battle because it drags on.
    Episode 1: Path of the Hero
    The captain of the Crimson blade Aodhan, his veteran mercenary Merrec, the oracle Tieve and
    high commander Riodan, have all died and no one remembers them. You release Muir from
    imprisonment and hid him in Brynn's laboratory hoping you can find a solution to this
    confusion situation. Muir has lost most of his memory. He states that his lost memory is in Ben
    Chenner. You head to Ben Chenner, but with Brynn along side. (This could the effect of
    repeating time. Since Tieve does not exist anymore he did not have to try to summon
    Morrighan, which was the cause of his own confinement in his laboratory.) In Ben Chenner you
    find Elves, a lost and forgotten race thought to have disappeared. Corruption surrounds the
    mountain along with the elves causing them to lose their mind and attack the player. You find
    the Queen of Elves and helped Muir become human. There she tell you the answer is on top of
    the mountain.
    Episode 2: A Mountain of Ash
    Muir registered to be a mercenary in the Crimson Blade, and here remember this because it
    becomes important, when he looks at Ceara he has bad memories due to her red hair. It
    become apparent that only you and Muir remember the people who have died and been
    forgotten. You found proof that Erinn descended in the world, however incomplete, which is
    why Braha and Ancient Braha coexist at the same time, time is condensed even though it
    shouldn’t be. Ben Chenner the mountain filled with rivers and trees is the same burning
    mountain spewing lava everywhere, Anwynn. Milo and Iset are together in here and they meet
    Macha, a demi-god that explains to them that when Errin is descended the Mountain is not on
    fire, and that it is called Heide, Albey or Anwynn when it is on fire.
    Episode 3: Light and Shadow
    You found a ruin. Ancient Glas Ghaibhleann was guarding a gate. The Rookie fought and
    defeated him.
    To be honest there is very little info on this episode, the only things worth noticing is that the
    Ronaun, Riordin’s brother and King of Rochest, was knowledgeable about the summoning
    rituals of the court and recognized the same ritual here.
    Episode 4: Crossroads to Ruin
    The player learned from Seanna that Glas Ghaibhleann is Morrighan's guardian who also
    fought alongside Lugh Lamhfada against Elchulus in the past. Lugh Lamhfada original name
    was Dauna. He was picked by Fragarach a sword to become a hero to fight against destiny and
    failed. Muir's true name is Mannanan; a sea God who became human. He placed Lugh and all
    the elves in an eternal sleep forever in Erinn only to be forgotten in time. The Rookie goes to
    the Colhen temple and Cichol appears. The Rookie makes a deal with Cichol, defeat Lugh
    Lamhfada and obtain Fragarach to bring back the player's dead friends. After defeating Lugh
    and obtaining Fragarach, the dead have come back to life. The place where the player battle
    Lugh is the entry way to Lochlann the land of fomors, it is also exactly above the place the
    Rookie battled with Crom Cruach and Enzo in Season 2. The royal army sent out a mission to
    cross the land of fomors. The Coffer Chasers wanted in on this and decided to have an alliance
    with the Crimson Blade for the upcoming war into Lochlann.
    Chapter 2
    Episode 5: Plains of Corruption
    The Rookie enters the land of fomors only to find an infection ravaging around. It seems only
    the fomors are being targeted. The Rookie fights and defeated infected Eochaid, but the
    ground collapse with you and Seanna falling together. You find a town, Berbhe, with peculiar
    people and decided to help them. You later find out Eochaid the werewolf monster thing you
    killed was the town’s guardian and that all those people that looks like humans are fomors that
    used the light shade to become human in appearance to slow the infection. Except for the
    fomor priest, he is a human.
    Redeemers: Corruption of the Goddess
    This part is canonical but optional in gameplay, the Redeemers battle is a end-game
    content battle, but the plot thickens here.
    The Rookie finds out that the source of the contamination was caused by Neit, a giant crab-like
    monstrosity and Neamhain, a metal winged fake/incomplete goddess that Keaghan/Chicol
    created.
    After completing the raid: Fragarach falls from the sky and helps you dodge Neamhain’s attack
    and destroy the source of the corruption.
    In Neimhain's persective, it is not an infection, but redemption to save us from death.
    Neimhain also believes that Chicol will save the people unlike Morrighan.
    As long as the "Sea of Reflection" exists Neit is immortal.
    Ceara's Interlude: Call of the Goddess
    This part focuses on Ceara who begins to hear the voice of the Goddess telling here to go to
    Berbhe, Lochlann, after many tries and failiures to get permission to go there she get
    permission from Laurys the Pontif who sends her through Ben Chenner accompanied by his
    court’s guard, and Nel that was fed up being closed in Rocheste and stowed into the carriage
    for Ceara’s party. Once deep enough in Ben Chenner, the soldiers turned on Ceara and slashed
    her, but Brynn and Muir, who were looking for the Rookie who was gone since the battle with
    the Eochaid, appear, and defeat the soldiers, Nel then appears and begins demanding to go
    home. Brynn and Muir are torn between going forwards or going back home seeing as Nel is
    with them, however, now, the “Goddess” Ceara was hearing takes over her body and kills Nel,
    and Muir recognizes immidiatly that this is the work of Macha, then she escapes to the temple
    of Eochaid, when Ceara asks why her, Macha responds that it was only because they share the
    same hair colour (Muir was right to be scared.) Then Macha adds that it’s time to do her duty
    as the Goddess of War and Destruction.
    Episode 6: ???
    Regarding this episode there isn't much information yet, except this I found on the VindictusManual Forums:
    - "Heroes who have reached Berbhe, the underground city will come back to the ground in this episode, but it’s frozen and they have to face a new trial.
    Dullahan is a huge knight’s armor that has lost his soul, and he followed someone else’s instruction and fight against our heroes."
    - There are also 2 videos I found, one being the prelude to the battle, and the other after defeating the Boss of this Episode.
    On the first, a black feather rains down on the suit of armour and Dullahan starts moving.
    On the second, the Dullahan, he cracks down from his armour revealing a black feather inside, so I assume that it's one Morrighan's feathers that powered up the suit of armour, then Riordin comes in with his goons like what he did after the first Glas Battle and takes the feather, I will have to do more research on this, if anyone speaks Korean though, I'd appreciate the help in translating what Riordin is saying.
