9:58 may refer to the storm seen in Horizon 2. Besides, “the future comes hungry” may refer to this red stuff that we have seen destroying the fauna/flora also in Horizon 2
I remember finding this quest after i finished the final battle (I thought i had done everything before!) and man oh man it made me uncomfortable to listen to him hallucinate on motor oil. Great video as always! Can't wait to see what comes out next!
@@KurohyouKitty find the sun-steps Tallneck then head west using the map to find a campfire near a hollow in the mountain. The campfire is near a house marked with Banuk painting. Brim is inside the house.
I'm pretty sure that was the intended effect! There's not many tales of outsider witnesses that get to see what happens when shamans get their visions and prophecies when it comes to real history, but the few I've heard have always talked about the experience as somewhat haunting, that they moved as if possessed. For those that saw something that actually came to pass, it was probably even more haunting. The VA for Brin did well.
I think the vision of aloy, pale and eyes open is referring to when she finds elisebets body at the end, where she scans her and sees her face staring to the sky. Her face being a clone
I found these prophecies a little unsettling, but when Aloy told him her name near the end I felt they had created some... bond, I guess? The voice acting was on point, as always.
Corruptor reference on ingots, circle and lines could be binary code as execution commands. There’s a abstract paper published that refers to binary code commands stamped on steel ingots for industrial purposes testing the capabilities of momentum, energy, and solute conservation equations as a hypothesis. This could be vastly applied to biomechanics in the future if the hypothesis is proven, hence seeing on corruptors, which are created by old ones (us) in which newer machines most likely do not require concrete coding on hardware.
My god... The more I listen to this the more blown away I am by the work of this voice actor. This is quite literally some of the best damn voice acting I have ever heard! Seriously, this guy is fucking brilliant at what he does, whoever he is.
This is literally the best character in the entire game. I dunno who the voice actor was for this character but they were fucking brilliant! I truly hope this guy is in the sequel!
So sad he wasnt but there is a note left about him at a campfire which says he cpntinred on to a place of fire and brine and since many think the DLC for this game will be called burnedshores we might see him again in the DLC
I'd like to meet him in the sequel, and I expect him to say: "Papa Brin's as good as his word, kid. No more oil. And no more visions, either!" 😁 By the Sun, your channel is wonderful!
This was where I’ve always thought you got your channel’s name, cause Brin really was a random side quest lol! Turned out to be the strangest one of all, but also my favorite :)
After watching the trailer last year and more recently, the gameplay trailer, I'm impressed and reassured that Guerrilla has already built a cohesive story for this franchise. This guy's final prophecy basically foreshadows the sequel. Meaning they already had a plan for the sequel while they were constructing the first game? I'm glad! And since he's left for the forbidden west, pretty sure Aloy will meet him again.
The story writers are experts. They probably had everything up to Nemesis planned during development of the first game. That's how you do story telling.
I actually completely overlooked this quest the first time I played the game, so when I got around to it on my second or third playthrough I assumed that when he said he saw Aloy brought down, he was referring to the moment during the final battle where she gets temporarily knocked out by like a bridge collapsing on her or something. I *hope* Aloy dosen't die in a future game!!! That would break my heart :'(
I honestly feel sad from thinking that MAYBE she could die. If she died it would destroy me lol, and that's weird because I've seen many characters I' loved die and I never cried, guess I just never connected to a character that much
Wow man to me what this guy was saying was pure madness it dosent make sense but then I hear you explain it and it all comes together nicely.....Thanks once again this channel is the greatest.
the last vision could have been about the past, and he was confused. as aloy looks a lot like elizabeth sobeck. as she sat eyes wide looking out. i could be wrong. and this may just be a foreshadowing of the future. but it seems right.
04:20 Something I think you missed in the corrupter vision, he mentioned a disk covered in circles and lines. Could this have been a reference to binary code? Circles and lines = zeroes and ones? The disk might have been part of their hard drive, maybe? A metaphor for their programming changing at the start of the Faro Plague, or under Hades’ control?
Can you update this video now with what we know about Horizon Forbidden West? I feel like his visions might be referring to some of the events alluded to in the trailers, especially the red blight.
Grimm mentioned the forbidden west. And now that we know more about it, mabye that could be somehting about nemesis. What if nemesis kills beta, and brimm was seeing beta as aloy? What if aloy does die, in an effort to ward off nemesis? And “pale as ash”? What if the ash part is a volcano? We know about operation firebreak, but what about quen land? The volcanos on Hawaii? Haleakala to name one. If aloy or beta follows a quen back to thier land, and a volcano erupts, would that be the end of either of them?

Watching this 5 years after. It sound pretty clear he was talking about Burning Shores and Nemesis. But is he also predicting the death of Aloy?
I never could figure out the source of the growling I heard in his hut. It always stopped as soon as I set foot outside. Sounded a bit like glint hawks, without screeches or trills.
Reminds me of the Damned Drifter now. [Frowns at 'my' mentioning of the still not-Permanently dead Traitor] eating Vex Radiolaria and *Hive* and other scavenged aliens that he comes across for his own personal 'survival' Indifference path. this man on that part of the Carja deserts drinks (obviously *Not* -supposed-to-be-drinked) machine energized fluids, Blaze, Chillwater, etc. [deadpan Dryly by the state of this cloned Humanity]
Rsq.. ive finished Forbidden west about 4 times now. Im currently looking for more banuk painings in the DLC. When Brin spoke of the jungle on fire and the blue light fading away.. I got chills. Because the blue light will fade upond the arrival of nemesis.. and the jungle is on fire in the burning shores.. but.. seeing aloy dead i was wondering do you think hes seeing Beta dead isntead of aloy?
I thought about that last part too. They are clones of one another after all. Or maybe he saw Elizabet Sobeck lying dead instead? It could be any of these 3. Hell maybe Nemesis creates another clone of Elizabet and who impersonates Beta or Aloy and we have to kill her.
He had BETTER be in the sequel is all I can say, and it'd better be the same voice actor too! Seriously, I can't imagine a sequel without him when he so accurately (Likely) predicted the events of the next game.
Do you think that when he references Aloy fallen in the last vision, he's referencing Aloy being knocked out by the falling rubble in the final battle, believing her to be dead?
@@NcxX-c8f he's really easy to find in all honesty. He's in and around the safest region in an area full of agressive machines so it's natural that a lot of people came across him while looking for either a mount (that is the striders right before the place he's in) or just getting away from the machines
I think he is talking about project firebreak in his vision of the future. This is why he runs off to the forbidden west to get out of the blast radius.
because if Aloy, Aratek and Oreara don't succeed the cauldron would more than likely cause the eruption of the caldera and the super volcano. Though the Forbidden west would provide no protection since the remnants of the explosion, tiny glass particles, would reach as far a Brazil in the south. Plus the eruption of Yellowstone would more than likely trigger the one in Mammoth.
Assuming there are no such thing as magic or supernatural forces in this universe, how could he have known all this information just by drinking oil. Could he have possibly have worked with someone who was researching a lot of the metal world in his past, such as Sylens and just have forgotten somehow? I think he got into some sort of accident, lost his memory, went insane, drank machine oil, and randomly started to remember bits and pieces of his past knowledge thinking they were visions. I truly wish I knew the whole story, he definitely is one of the most mysterious and interesting people in the world of Horizon.
Or he isn't drinking machine oil but the machine equivalent of cerebral fluid. Some thing that contains data. Something that due to his shaman background he can get info out off.
Ourea Implied that Sylens wasn't a Banuk. It may be that Brin not only taught Sylens everything but also was one of the people who vouched for him at the conclave. If Sylens is from the Forbidden West it would explain why he doesn't want people to know about his past. That might explain was he was exiled it was not just for drinking machine blood.
I was thinking when he says LOL falls with her eyes open or whatever that he was referring to in meridian in the battle she falls from the wall and everybody thought she was dead where Aaron did but she didn't die but it kind of makes sense
Thank you for this video. I completed the quest this week, and while delighted I was also oddly disapointed. It was almost as if some one had given the secretary some background material and told the secretary to whip up some dialogue and assigned it to 1, 2, 3, 4,and 5. The thunderjaw vision was brilliant. Revealing that it was a young machine i.e. post derangement was awesome. But the Stormbird should have been either #1 or 2 on the quest list and not some portent of a terrible future, but rather the loss of an innocent past. The corrupter should have been the last and combining the alieness revealed by the vision as well as the vision provided by the Stormbird. This would have made more sense. Still enjoyed the overall background info Brin provided since it is as close to the machine's point of view we will get (for now).
There's new secret dialogue with Sylens in the Zero Dawn facility, rewatch the data about Haephaestus they mention new things, not much but it's new dialogue why not go look.
Wow, you are a strange one to not have been intrigued by this guys stories. Typical new age gamer that can't stand but to rush thru the game and miss 90% of what the game has to offer. I can't stand gamers who play like that...
In the second vision Brin repeatedly talks about an ingot. It falls from his mouth stamped with circle and lines, he leaves it to get trampled by the corruptors in their greed... What do you think the ingot represents/means? That' the only part of the visions I never understood.
Riley Hillen I though the ingot might reference the Override tool Aloy salvaged from the first Scarab. He mentions the ingot that "falls out" and then says "Instructions, directions, to break a machine's will".
I think the lines and circles are binary. 1's and 0's. I think it represents the code used to override other machines - would love for Random Side Quest to weigh in on this :)
I'm doing CS at uni too! Thinking about it more, the fact his tongue is a metal 'ingot' may be analogous to the fact that they used machine code to 'speak', and he is embodying a victim machine after drinking the 'blood'. But, he leaves the physical manifestation of the slaving command behind, it's too much. It makes me wonder if the language used by GAIA/Hephaestus would be the same as that used by the FAS machines, or if the Alphas could read the code she wrote?
To me there was missed potential with Forbidden West and Burning Shores. The allure of mystery that the forbidden west data point evoked just wasn’t there. And why pray tell did Guerilla chose to not create a quest line with Brin to find the missing tribe of machine blood drinkers in the Burning Shores?
Can you make theories about what you think will be in the sequel? (Story, new places, new machines and especially what aloy will do now, because it seems like her part is over)

True
Dont know if you played but poiler it is!
That’s a good comparison
Edit: good**

I dont remember this quest at all, do you remember where Brim is at on the map?
@@KurohyouKitty find the sun-steps Tallneck then head west using the map to find a campfire near a hollow in the mountain. The campfire is near a house marked with Banuk painting. Brim is inside the house.
I'm pretty sure that was the intended effect!

thanks, i was terrified that it was aloy dying in horizon 3, that comment calmed me down
I wonder if we might see Brim in the sequel, I love his visions; they give a sensation of mystery and sorrow. Marvelous video as always!
Brin, Nil, Petra and Vanasha are definitely some characters that need to show up in the sequel.
I also thought if he could become Aloy's partner if she goes into the Forbidden West
I found these prophecies a little unsettling, but when Aloy told him her name near the end I felt they had created some... bond, I guess? The voice acting was on point, as always.
Corruptor reference on ingots, circle and lines could be binary code as execution commands.

Circles and lines ... 1s and 0s, maybe? The language computers understand
That would make a great deal of sense.
Binary code is exactly what my thoughts went to.
Exactly what I thought.
My god... The more I listen to this the more blown away I am by the work of this voice actor. This is quite literally some of the best damn voice acting I have ever heard! Seriously, this guy is fucking brilliant at what he does, whoever he is.

Thanks so much Johgus96, we're workin at it!
Well... now that we know where the sequel leads... I bet we'll see him again, probably with some mashine-harvested moonshine no less...
I'd love to see a video about the timeline of the old world. It is quite a lesson to us now.
I’ve never come across this quest! Thanks for the new adventure!
coming back to this after the HFW trailer , i SO hope we get to see Brin again :D

Nemesis comes...
He talked about The Forbidden West! It is a direct reference to the sequel
I think Aloy might die in the next game and his last prophesy didnt all refer to the fight against hades but rather Aloys last stand against Nemesies
I’ve replayed Zero Dawn 3 times and never ran into this guy, where is he located
Now that FW is out and we have one more game left, I’m curious to see if the series will end will Aloy’s death.
Love your work, keep doing what you do.

Late. I had the same thought. Prophecy before last refers to the Looming Shadow. The last one is about the sequel. Just my thought.

Our favorite Banuk hermit.
How do you drink machine bloods? I would think it would be lubricating oil and fuel, and not anything that humans can drink without dying.
it's a game... he drinks it like ayahuasca to have these visions
There's new secret dialogue with Sylens in the Zero Dawn facility, rewatch the data about Haephaestus they mention new things, not much but it's new dialogue why not go look.
Huh? What dialogue are you talking about?
If the game had ended with Aloy's death I would not be ok

Straight away, Brin be like *Disgusting*!
Holy hell I wish HFW had something at this quality. Though we didn't see any metal teeth
It had his prophecies. You just had to find them.
I wish we saw him in Forbidden West, devs lost a good opportunity there
He was there, but we couldn't see him. He left his trail.
I didn't discover this quest until my 4th play through.
"...circles and lines.." refers to the 0010010111 coding.
I wonder what he would have had to say about the blood of a corrupted machine or the new machine of the frozen wilds?

Hey do lore on eclipse the bad guys of horizon zero
Its in the works Raven, you'll be seeing it sooner than later :)

I guess we gonna see him again when they release Forbidden West

where is he, never saw him
“... Into the Forbidden West...”. Hmmmm... 🧐

Could jungle on fire refer to the jungle in the forbidden west turning red?
