Why is Theos' life so pathetic?

least he lived a better life than you did.

on a serious note, i haven’t read arcane lore so i’ll just have to take your word for it that theos lived like that.

uh dont
read lore pls

what happens if i cant read

k

bro what is this theos hate, none of these are even true

  • He literally had kids and grandkids before Durza killed them all in the attack
  • He never mutated Pheonix Magic, you can’t mutate mutations. This was a concept tech thought of and we decided not to do it
  • He didn’t get destroyed, if you read the lore, he was winning and Durza decided he would rather destroy the world than lose
  • He had multiple friends and a crew before AA started, they just didn’t travel with him. (like holden)
  • The player doesn’t kill the crazy wizards, and he just gives them a boat and dagger because they’re literally a hobo stranded on the island. If they became evil after that it was no concern of his, seeing as how he’s literally top 10-20 strongest in the Seven Seas at this time
  • Pretty sure he just suggests going to Doom Island, and he never says “you will need to defeat a corrupt chief” or some shit.
  • Call bullshit all you want but thats how he dies :man_shrugging:
  • In the AA timeline he’s already old, as he says at Sunrise Ravine, he was most likely planning on killing Durza and then retiring to a peaceful life. And as for “not contributing to the plot”, you could say this about pretty much every character (trigno, averill, arthur, etc) a character doesn’t need to contribute much to be important, plus people loved Theos while AA was still working regardless.

The peacekeeper obviously would have gotten injuries of some kind in those fights, idk where you’re getting this. The lore doc just quickly brushes over this since its important to the overall universe, it doesn’t go into detail about the fights themselves.

If he died in Durza’s original blast, the Peacekeeper would have never gone on to kill Durza

This is just dumb, how would Theos know that he was going to die in Third Sea and just choose to retire before that? His goal was to continue guiding the player and eventually fight Durza with them.

Overall this post just seems like you’re being overcritical bro. Saying its pathetic that Durza basically snaked him and killed his entire family and hometown is cruel, there was nothing he could have done to stop it except kill him, which he would have done if Durza wasn’t such a sore loser

i do agree on the fact that arthur, supposedly the strongest man in existence got his ass kicked by the same god who got clapped by pk seconds later is kinda stupid

but theos is probably the second or third most important character to the plot idk what you mean

if you read the lore it makes sense, cursebeard dealt with basically the hardest part so it just left Durza and undead Zeus to the peacekeeper (if i remember right). The undead army is the perfect army, even if you defeat tons of them, eventually they pick you off and then Durza can revive your own dead and add it to his army

ok so im the alt of the guy that you responded to so treat this as a response from it if you even look at it

i was joking mostly
even when i was serious i wasn’t really criticizing the story as i was the character
in fact my first idea for the title was “why is theos so beta” which woulda probably maked it more obvious as a joke but would have maybe gotten me punished for trolling

that’s what she said

true, i didn’t consider that the undead were immortal for some reason, arthur is doomed and theos is still critical to the plot no matter how lame people think he is

He didn’t get destroyed the first time. The dark wizard ran away

true, durza is a little bitch.

To summarize this: vetex said ratio in a fancy way to someone assuming

Moral of story: don’t assume stuff on forums, you will be shitted on. Trust me I know from experience

Vetex will ratio you so hard

or alternatively he could’ve just not made stuff up about the game’s story :sunglasses:

Yes Arcturus is canon.

No Theos can heal himself, it’s just healing wounds from someone that powerful is way way too hard. Also, Theos’ body was being broken down by Arcturus.

You’re partly correct.

The lore changed, Theos kept Phoenix and his third mind, Fire, mutated into Arcturus. Theos was the only guy in history to ever mutate third.

Rare mutations are not canon anymore also.

i see, thanks for clearing things up

Vetex I’d like confirmation

ah shit
to me dying to arcturus was the stupidest shit imaginable and the most shitty way to end it compared to literally every old situation that existed
