Why is Theos' life so pathetic?

[anon16468670]

forgive my retardation i read wrong

[The_Legend_7.0]

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.

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
• 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 MC then proceeds to destroy Zeus who killed both Theos and Cursebeard, and beats Durza so fucking hard that he ragequits and kamikaze’s himself. MC doesn’t even get badly injured, just fatigued. Literally just gets a fucking fever lmao.

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.

@anon16468670

Again, the only significance Theos had in the entire plot is meeting the Player and being involved in a near extinction event. The only two good endings for him I can think of is:

1. Dying at the hands of Durza before he threw the blast, or

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

@anon16468670

Retiring before the events in the third sea and letting Peacekeeper take care of it. Probably would’ve resulted in a weaker Peacekeeper because no pain of death bs but Peacekeeper will still be stupid strong anyway. Later, when Peacekeeper was done, they can go live together until Theos croaks or something.

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

[AwesomeOS]

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

[Vetex]

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

[anon96970961]

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

[StarForDays]

@Vetex

its pathetic

that’s what she said

[AwesomeOS]

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

[SocialCreditMaster]

@anon16468670

• Gets destroyed by Durza the first time, a wizard with no formal education whatsoever and at a point where he wasn’t even that strong yet. Wins the second time, but still manages to fuck up and allows Durza to nuke the world.

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

[AwesomeOS]

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

[GlitchingEclipse]

Vetex will ratio you so hard

[pristine]

@GlitchingEclipse

Moral of story: don’t assume stuff on forums, you will be shitted on.

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

[SpectreTheFox]

Yes Arcturus is canon.

[SpectreTheFox]

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.

[SpectreTheFox]

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.

[Saiju]

i see, thanks for clearing things up

[GlitchingEclipse]

Vetex I’d like confirmation
