The echo of pantheon left behind from his confrontation with death. The Wolf is using it to test Ambessa's resolve in the face of death. This is all an encounter with the Noxian version of Kindred after she nearly died in battle, deciding whether or not she will succumb to death or fight it and survive. In the end, she refused to stay beaten, and made it to Lamb, who rewarded her for facing The Wolf and not succumbing. So she returns from the brink of death, and Wolf departs. Kindred moves on, while Ambessa's echo is left to challenge the next person who faces The Wolf, just as Atreus's echo challenged her. She is one of the chosen of The Wolf. Life earned by refusing death's embrace.
Said perfectly. Also the wolf appears in the moment that she is about to lose consciousness, because if she succumbs to that Ambessa and/or most surely Mel would perish. She is figuratively and literally fighting to stay awake which in the end she does, breaking the arrow and getting up
I feel like this entire video is her encounter with kindred. She was on deaths door and was ready to accept death, symbolized by her holding the lamb. As we progress though she sacrifices her innocence to stay alive, clutching the wolf’s heart at the end, fighting off death to save her unborn child.
Not sure... but seems she's pregnant. The arrow in the belly ... The lamb might not be her innocence ,rather her baby. Also... kindred is the wolf and the lamb ( the wolf is death when u dont accpet death and fight for it, the lamb takes life when u accepts death)
Yes it's her encounter with Kindred! Kindred usually don't directly talk to the people they are about to claim. Instead, they communicate through dreams and visions. She sees Kindreds form in a way that makes sense to her. That's why wolf looks like a regular wolf and why Kindred doesn't have her normal outfit.
The lamb represents her unborn daughter, Mel. You can see she is pregnant at the beginning with her. The wolf she encounters at the beginning is kindred, the essence of death. Under normal circumstances, kindred would take her life. But Kindred offers her a deal - she can live, in exchange for the years of her unborn child. This is why during the desert ritual scene she agonises so painfully. She has doomed her own daughter, so that she may live.
Finally someone who knows the lore...So many other people just making random interpretations about nothing lmao... This is how you DON'T do things. Because all they do is spread misinformation and then the reactor reads it and ends up learning nothing. If people don't know anything, they should just refrain from theorizing when we ALREADY KNOW what this is lol.
@@diabeticjunkie9220 you're right man. I'm sure her being pregnant is completely inconsequential. Fortiche just put it in there for fun. Same with the scene of the embryo eyes glowing. Just random I'm sure.
This make the one scene where she was talking about her father saying “he wanted me to learn death” way more impactful now because it sounds like she wouldn’t have sent Mel away if she would have been stronger and met kindred.
It is not Pantheon,but it is Pantheon. It's representing death but it's also a promotional video for the upcoming skins ingame so they had to make him look like Pantheon to show the skin he is getting
U could also say it’s the aspect of War and as she keeps fighting pantheon(Aspect)she gets more scars. To show how the wars/battles take there toll on her but riot 100% with the cash grab on the new skin line 😭
@@manamitsuki3851 That's a possible explanation too,but since we see her placed towards death (kindred) the whole clip it mostly makes sense that the dude is wolf. As you can also see the wolf aproached her first,even though the lamb almost always makes the first move. It's because she is a part of Noxus and Noxians dont worship the lamb,they want to die in war,a glorious death, so the Lamb doesnt even try to provoke her. It's her against the wolf (death) the whole clip.
@@zdravkogeorgiev323it could and most likely is still wolf but he chose a form that was basically the personification of war so in that way the champion choice was intentional even if it’s not specifically pantheon in the flesh.
I think the lamb represents her sacrifice. She has made an unconscious ‘deal’ with Kindred. Life and a future of power and glory, but at the cost of the lives of her children.
Ambessa is chosen by wolf (kindred)for being an incarnation "of the wolf" in a like Valhalla thing just like Panthéon, Katarina or Swain because all of them faced death at one moment in their life. But you need to sacrifice something for being accepted. Initialy when the video start Wolf came for the baby and not Ambessa and the lamb symbolise this baby in the vision. (The first Child of Ambessa is a boy called Kino if i remember correctly), that’s why you see a little boy hold the lamb and more interessant is, in the vision, the moment she chose to sacrifice the lamb she can face Panthéon and is finally chosen. But when she open his eyes, you see the Wolf leave because Ambessa has chose his Child. That’s why she has voicelines in Arcane and ingame Who say she’s gonna do everything for his family. 2:19 She’s so fucking badass.
This is very epic and cool. Animation and transfer of Moods and emotions. The atmosphere is all at a high level. I got inspired and started streaming League of Legends today. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a mini guide on Hwei
So my theory of the meaning of this... The wolf is death, death holds off in claiming her because it sees either a possible future in her or in her daughter mel. Then we see her challenged by pantheon. I bet this is pantheon the god, not atreus the man. Represents war testing her. Also swain and katarina makes sense cuz it was is possibly Katarina that killed her son. Also Swain represents the political environment that tests her. Then finally death itself tests her. Death is chosing to keep her alive because of a possible future where she could be chosen to be a new aspect or maybe Mel. 😉 The lamb might mean her sacrificing her innocence The whole ascension thing could also just be a medafor
that is not pantheon, is the wolf/the death (same as tryndamere's fight with the wolf), look at the shield, he's looking like him for the new skin on the champ
How I interpret the music video: In a near death state, it seems Ambessa's consciousness went to a type of Noxian mythos "Valhalla" (realm of honorably fallen warriors, from the past, present, and possible future), was tested, and was proven worthy of joining the pantheon of "Wolf's Chosen" in the afterlife. But then her unborn child, which appears to have magical powers, was able to subconsciously use its magic to heal / resuscitate Ambessa and brought her back from her near death state / "Valhalla".
My interpretation was that her life wasn't at risk, but it was her unborn child's (the arrow was in her stomach) so she was fighting against death to save her child which is why it also had the golden energy run through it (the golden energy also ran through the child suspiciously similar to how Mel's back shined gold at the end of arcane, from right to left.)
It's pantheon but not the one in league, it's the aspect of war, in the scene where he appears you can also see Swain and Katarina, both who have faced death and have gained the respect of the aspect of war
actually i think the lamb represents the child's life she offers to kindred in order to save herself. the child she is very clearly pregnant with at the start of the video. could be wrong but...
So apparently this is about a new skin line. She is actually fighting Pantheon in this video because he also gets this skin. You can see Swain and Katarina as well. What I get from this is that this skin is a "what if" Ambessa didn't put her family first and didn't make all the sacrifices for her family. The wolf (obviously death and kindred reference along with the lamb) comes to claim her child in exchange of her becoming a chosen one of the wolf. You can see the wolf looking at her belly just before the dream starts. The whole dream is non canon and is the potential future Ambessa would have as a chosen of the wolf. She would become the "wolf" part of kindred as the lamb is being sacrificed to the wolf and she would play a similar role as Pantheon, which is wearing the cool new skin armor and fighting people who are dying but still willing to fight, just like she is in this video (and optionally become immortal as a chosen of the wolf). After accepting the offering from the wolf (the weird wolf amulet) she paints her face in white symbolising her putting on kindred mask and we see her in her golden armor alongside Pantheon, Swain and Katarina. But she starts doubting as we can see her shaking uneasily, and we see her child opening its eyes. She suddenly comes back to reality and the wolf walks away. She decided to keep her child and refuse the wolf offers. This part is actually canon as she puts her family above everything and always talk about all the sacrifices she did for her family.
It's not Pantheon or Katarina or Swain in the video. They're aspects of the Wolf who is testing Ambessa's will to live. They happen to look like Pantheon, Katarina, and Swain, because also Riot wants to sell skins. haha
The lamb represents her child. She is pregnant during that fight and loses her baby during it. Hence all the symbolism. She lost her baby through this ordeal. It's pretty openly stated so the fact so many comments don't mention is quite weird lol. It's the entire premise of the video.

The lamb represent her innocence and compassion, being destroyed by war and violence
Sadly the baby is dead.His name is Kino, he's briefly mentioned in arc 2 or 3 of season 1 of Arcane.
@@artherck3:49 quick shots of the baby inside her. Just not sure if it’s kino or mel.

I still feel like that was her son holding the lamb. Her crying knowing that was the bargain she made to live.. was her son's life
I think in exchange for her life she promised to live one with ruling and power.
You can also interpret the fight against "Pantheon" as getting those "war" scars on her journeys.
Pantheon is the aspect of war, War literally trained her.
So my theory of the meaning of this...
The wolf is death, death holds off in claiming her because it sees either a possible future in her or in her daughter mel. Then we see her challenged by pantheon.

Katarina didn’t kill her son Kino, Ambessa states that he crossed the wrong man when she informs Mel of Kinos death
@@rainclouds3677 yes, but that doesn't count out the possibility that someone hired katarina to kill him
that is not pantheon, is the wolf/the death (same as tryndamere's fight with the wolf), look at the shield, he's looking like him for the new skin on the champ
Also, Katarina works for swain as well, so yeah swain could be the Wrong man he crossed and Katarina could be the one swain sent to kill him.

Noxian kindred is different, this was her fighting kindred to survive
3:18 it is kindread, remember every region see death different
Is that MaryMaybe? Oh just, sorry. Just a silly goose. It does kinda look like Mary tho! 🤣🤣
Mary Maybe
the skinline is called chosen by the lamb so probably spared by Kindred
It’s Chosen of the Wolf
