  • The title says it all, which is entirely based on gameplay, cutscenes, and from the in game journals within the game. I have some theories about Sampson and the abandoned church in the game, but they are never outright confirmed within the game.

    Having played the DS version via emulator, here are a few details revealed from that version:
    - In a radio conversation between Cole and Samson, Cole accuses him of having trained the bear that killed the campers. On the face of it, this could just be a knee jerk reaction from years of resentment Cole built up toward his father, especially since in that version of events, the bear is responsible for killing Adrian instead of the wolves. However, it should be noted that in the console version, Samson was shocked to find out that a grizzly had been responsible for killing the campers. This lends a lot more credibility to the theory of Samson being the one controlling the animals.
    - In the final level, when Cole reaches Samson’s lodge, he spots a wooden pole with human bones lying around. Inspecting them, he deduces that the victims had been sacrificed to be devoured by hyenas. Remember, after Adrian’s death, Samson went into seclusion at his hunting lodge. I suspect that’s what he had been doing for those ten years before Cole arrived.
    All of this, coupled with Mbeki’s dialogue of Samson’s blood being cursed, and Samson’s regret over Adrian dying, leads me to conclude with certainty that Samson was indeed the Kaaftar all along.

      This is actually incredible evidence to buster my theory of him being a psychopath, but also bringing up the possibility that Sampson got bit by the Kaftar originally in 1982 thus becoming a "were-hyena" himself. The only thing that would make this even better is if you had video proof of it. If you can, find some way to play through the game again and get that footage!

    When the campers are attacked by the wolves, I always thought that it was Samson blowing the whistle to encourage the wolves to attack and kill the campers for trespassing when the grizzly answered the call instead. That’s why he’s so surprised when Adrian says a bear did it. He was expecting the wolves he thought he called.

    • @SmaugtheDM

      Huh, you might be right on. However the Keeluts still came in and killed the last guy, due to him being alone in the woods and Sampson using the whistle that night.

    I used to play this game Along with 2013 on the Wii back in the days. I also even used the Top Shot Elite that would Simulate myself as a Hunter.
    For the story, I don’t understand why they took 25% of the game in North America and the Rest of the game after The Grizzly Bear boss in Africa 10 years after. But Overall, this is the most darkest game in the series by far especially having 3 Onscreen Deaths, especially Cole’s Brother getting Devoured by Black Wolves after the Bear Fight while Cole Watches Helplessly. That Scene Scared me when I was 10. As I was playing it, I never knew the fact that The Kaftar is not a Real Animal but a Shapeshifter from a Man to Beast making me to believe that it’s just a Myth. I never knew that the whistle in the caverns is also the same one that Cole Heard while being attacked by a Wolf before encountering the Bear at the end of Full Moon and when Adrian Heard it before The Wolves devoured him at the end of Grizzly Hunt. Something tells me that Adrian Die by the Wolves but not Cole because when Cole was being attacked, the whistle sound which caused the wolves to stop and retreated hinting that someone wanted the wolves to attack someone else but not Cole. Now as an adult, I never knew for that fact that Samson was The Kaftar all along which makes sense since the attack back in 1982 and it make sense since he lost one his eye pupil. I also Didn’t know that he was also the one responsible for Adrian’s Death at the end of Grizzly Hunt which is why He Sounded the whistle to make the wolves retreat from Cole.

    Can you imagine if this game had a zombies mode where the Kaftar comes back from the dead and raises an army of zombie animals? Cabela's video games tried to copy Call of Duty as well as other trends during this time instead of being real hunting games like they used to, so they might as well cash in on Call of Duty Zombies as well.

      The black lions are stronger, but I don't think they could kill the Kaftar. The legend about only fire being able to kill it would mean that even if the lions 'killed' the Kaftar, its spirit would live on. That's why even when Cole was shooting it in the face repeatedly, it wasn't until he dropped the chandelier on it and trapped it in the fire that it finally died. So since the black lions don't have fire, they can't kill it and it would wear them down.

    It's great to see all the story laid out like this, and the edits were great too. I have played the DS version, and honestly, it's more fun than it looks. It definitely does add a lot more to the lore and I would recommend a try of it, if you can.
    Also yeah Samson is 100% just the worst. I think the whistling sound in Africa is either the Kaftar itself (after all, the whistle is just copied technology from what the Kaftar can do naturally), or else it's Samson after having his 'heart devoured' as Mbeki puts it. That the Kaftar in the Wii version is missing an eye lends credence to the idea that it IS Samson via infecting him or possessing him or something like that. There's also something really suspicious about the fact that his hunting lodge happens to have an opening leading directly to the Kaftar's lair...

    • @SmaugtheDM
      @SmaugtheDM  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey man, thanks for putting more evidence on the table of Sampson being the worst. Like I said in the video, I do in fact own the DS version of the game, however from experience the controls are incredible awkward with enemies that just keep on spawning behind you makes it incredible difficult to get through and actually appreciate the lore of that version of the game.

      @@SmaugtheDM Have you tried playing it on an emulator? It might be easier with a mouse and keyboard. My own experience was that it was difficult, but not THAT tough, I beat it in like 4 hours. Granted, I was playing on an old computer that dropped the game's frames constantly, so I was essentially getting extra time to aim and shoot, but I was also using a trackpad so I would imagine a mouse would make up for it.

    • @baileyclaus1349
      @baileyclaus1349 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ a few, to start with, the kaftar you fight at the end of the game is Samson rainsford. The kaftar is white, as is samsons hair, the attacks stopped when he left and started a few years after his return to Uganda, and the kaftars left eye is scared like Samson. As well as embeki saying everything literally. His friend is inside cole cause we play as the person who is killed. The ye monster is in his heart because without him the project would have died. He captured it and it took over his mind and eventually his body. We also never see him after he steps on the mine. Potentially because he sets off the mine with the intention of starting a fire and having cole once and for all ending the curse.

    • @baileyclaus1349
      @baileyclaus1349 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ another theory is that all the destroyed buildings and infrastructure we see on the rainsford land in Alaska is because of the moved nightfall program. This explaining why Samson is so protective of his land, as are the keeluts. It’s their home and where they were resided for years.

      It's clear through the cavern dialogue before you meet Sampson in person, that he really thought Cole was the worse son and it was his intention that night Cole was the one to die, however something change and so Aiden was picked. Then after Sampson regretted his decision, he felt guilty for the death of Aiden to the Keeluts.
