Devourer's origins and powers (theory)

Game Discussion

Well, since we all know about Argos having a Devourer, some of you must’ve wondered why it’s black in color and where it’s abilities come from (probably)?

Me too. I’ve done some research, and I think the Devourer, due to one of Argos’ moves where he sucks you in and does a lightspeed judgement cut move, is made from a meteorite that fell to Earth after orbiting a black hole, or something similar, due to it’s ability to suck in a Sea Curse which normally shoots out of a user when they die, and how it causes a suck-in AOE (during the afforementioned Judgement Cut move).

I think it does that by generating gravity, which causes time dilation when Argos moves at seemingly lightspeed, and it does that same gravitational power while snatching a Sea Curse.

Also, it’s black in color, and so are it’s moves in general.

But hey, that’s just a theory, a Game Theory.

Truly a theory worthy of game theory, although i think it is just made of the same stuff they make handcuffs out of

Maybe THEY’RE BOTH MADE OUT OF THAT BLACK HOLE METAL (i lost my mind a while ago)

There’s no indication that devourer-material does anything while a person is still alive, unlike with handcuffs, which can somehow prevent you from using magic

Bet its sword made by Durza that somehow ended in War Seas?

I suppose it’s not impossible the devourers were made by Durza and given to his underlings to bring curses back to him.

But considering there was no mention of them in AA as far as I am aware, I doubt it.

Crazy theory but it’s based off some random things that make no sense in the universe the game is right now and it’s mostly speculation. It’s probably made out of some alloy (like arcanium) or imbued with some type of power we don’t know yet that makes it able to steal curses from cursed people.

I get that devourers are supposed to be super OP against curse users but like ngl they’re sort of just normal weapons with a weird skillset imo.

Like the devourer argos has, it has several odd moves that come from other weapon classes, which I find pretty interesting.

for example, his famous super fast beast instinct move, which is basically just a claw skill.

then he has his double slash projectiles, which come from dual swordies but he only has 1 devourer.

pretty sure his sword also has a piercing gale type ability as well, which comes from staff weaponry, so that’s cool too.

It looks like a normal greatsword at the start of the fight, but then it gets imbued with that blackish color at the end of the fight so i’m just assuming he imbued something in it. Maybe it’s like a potion? There’s a lot of potions out there and we can literally use gels so it could be that too.

I always thought the sword was black to begin with ngl :man_shrugging:

This is honestly why I think skippable cutscenes during boss transformations should be added to AO, because with more cutscenes, we can get more pieces of important information like this easier.

Actually i’m not sure if it’s black by the start of the fight since i’m using the first image we got of it in twitter as my base so maybe it’s already black by the start of the fight idk.
