The first awakening was with Poseidon the god of the seas so my speculation is that the next awakening is going to be from a god that has been praised in a similar or higher standard than Poseidon like Prometheus.
Or
Recovering enough fragments of the main character’s mind (most likely the 3rd of fourth sea) After defeating many Barons and High lords the player receives enough information to fully conjure enough of a grasp on his past before he lost his memory and why he was experimented on.
Or
The player fights his own regrets like from Final Fantasy 16 where Clive fought himself accepted the truth and half way through the boss fight against himself he gets his 2nd awakening since the player canonically would struggle indefinately against the boss having to adapt using his own parts of his damaged memory.
Actually, 2nd awakening has been placed at level 250 so it may potentially exist within the Nimbus sea.
Oh then will mind mutations still exist since that is a LARGE amount of levels to be left without any power up.
Mutations in their entirety have been axed in favor of lost magics, still contains the same magics (with some new additions) as mutations just being unlocked via a scroll instead of at a certain story point.
My main speculation is that the 2nd Awakening will occur in a similar manner as it did in Bronze Sea. There’s a good chance that the remains of Mt Olympus will be in Nimbus Sea, as Mt Othrys and Mt Helicon seems to be in the same positions, except flipped.
It’s possible itll be Zeus who grants MC their awakening from here. Though Mt Olympus was said to be a ruins underwater, I don’t think it’ll be impossible for MC to access (and they did get some blessing from the God of the Sea, soooo)
It’s also possible that Nimbus Sea is also where MC discovers that they’re the descendant of a God, as the quest desc reveals MC wasnt able to understand what Poseidon said, and this discovery is what leads to the third awakening. I’d imagine MC also does get their memory recovery a little in Nimbus Sea, but only a small part of it rather than the whole picture, which also leads to a deeper understanding of themself…
This combined with the contact with Mt Olympus, allows them to get their second awakening.
i cant wait to get the ? awakening
That question mark is access to Cataclysm
Vetex said that the nimbus sea story level cap at the end will be level 200-220 implying that the second awakening may not actually happen until the beginning of the vimir sea (3rd sea)
wait since when was the 3rd sea named that? i have never heard that name ever in the community
The second awakening will be caused by Poseidon again but he will be wearing a fake moustache and he will act like he has never met you before.
Ive seen screenshots of Vetex saying it, though idk if they’re legit, or if Vetex was actually trolling or not.
Eh, I think it’s fitting though since Keraxe is most likely in the third sea, next to Sameria which is now threatened by them (someone has said it sounds like “Ymir” or something, which is norse)
my best bet would probably be something similar to naruto fighting kurama at the turtle isle to awaken kcm2
Morden, Iris, and whoever else they meet fear for the MCs safety and send them away during the Keraxe war. Eventually the MC comes to learn about their past and tries to fight fragments of their old self. Eventually learning enough by fighting them and coming to turns with their traumatic past, thus achieving their second awakening. I assume after the fight comes the longest cutscene in the entire game because lore is going to be dropped like crazy.
Damn, that means I’ll have to wait another 2 years after the Nimbus sea is completed to get my second awakening.
wtf?
Fr?
Trial of the Soul moment
Instead of regrets this would be more so like fighting a more realized version of yourself. Your true self, if you will, while as we recover our memory we don’t necessarily HAVE to become them. As we fight our potential past version of ourselves we could understand who we WERE. Although this would fit more if we were to, say, try achieving our own Arcane Apotheosis assuming that’s a path to power in AO (using Hendrix I believe his name was when we were learning Dodge Reflex).
Nimbus Sea only being until level 200 sounds boring, unless 3rd sea functions as a way to massively boost the players levels through war (we seem to grow EXTERMELY fast through combat). So in that situation I imagine it would be us gaining a level with every encounter until we reach level 250, and then in a fight against a high ranking member of Keraxe’s army we’ll achieve our awakening and potentially defeat them (not Wotan or his Sons). Maybe it could be after we get knocked unconscious and unlock a memory of our past (just one, I don’t wanna know everything until later at a more critical point in the story).
I still believe nimbus is level 250. It makes sense even mathematically, and If you fight high level gravy NPC’s they have their second awakening at around that level
I agree with that, I’m still thinking Nimbus will be level 250 and it would make sense.
AA we had to get our Ultimate before 2nd sea
2nd sea in AA we got our 2nd magic
AO we get our first awakening 1st sea
We should logically get our second awakening in 2nd sea as well
Very unlikely to me but maybe
