I'm sorry about the inconsistencies and inflections in the audio, after taking a small break from content creation, I fell out of practice and found it difficult to get back into the groove. I suffered an injury to my tailbone which further hindered my motivation and focus, however I have since recovered and trying returning to my previous routine. I thank you for your patience and continued support!
Not necessarily. While I haven’t played Barotrauma myself (I just came across this game like a few hours ago lol), most deep sea creatures in our world have vestigial eyes, simply due to there being very little light in the ocean at the depths they inhabit. Additionally, a lot of the gameplay I’ve seen doesn’t show a particular abundance of bioluminescence (glowing creatures, think Fireflies, Anglerfish, or for a more sci-fi example Pacific Rim’s Kaiju), so there really wouldn’t be an evolutionary pressure to develop, or even maintain, good eyesight. Not only are eyes rather fragile, you need much more brainpower to make out details instead of just differences in light level, which consumes valuable calories that are incredibly sparse at these depths. Moreover, all encounters with the Endworm I’ve seen start with a radar pulse emanating from the worm, so it probably uses sonar, rather than sight, to hunt prey.
The geode feeding makes a lotta sense, as endworm shell can be processed into physicorium bars, so its shell is at least partially made of organic structures incorporating physicorium
If we want to draw comparisons to arthropods, the “plates” are comparable to the sclerites of arthropods, essentially these are composed of tanned polysaccharides.
While I highly doubt this is true for Barotrauma lore, I like to imagine the endworm feeds by clamping onto even larger predators and sucking their blood like a giant lamprey. The endworm isn't a predator - it's a territorial parasite who feeds off an even greater superpredator
That would actually be super scary. Maybe the abyss will finally become something to be afraid of all across the game, as unfortunately after the early game it just becomes a minor challenge that can easily be overcome with nukes. Even if it was a rare monster mission, you wouldn't even have to kill it, just snap a picture or two and pray that it deems you too much effort to hunt down. But as you've said: it is unlikely.
It would be sick if in a future update chunks of the hull can be torn off. A well supplied sub and competent crew can survive pretty much anything Europa throws at them.
out of all the people i have been captain to in barotrauma, the clowns are often the most fearless in this situation because of their idiotic, crazy, or mischievous personalities of these people, sometimes i wonder if its a mix of all three but, sure as well find it funny when they are around- so long as they don't plant bombs with a bunch of twitches attached to them across my sub.
Only recently found your stuff, but I’ve been loving it! Loved all the husk stuff you went over and used a bit of what I learned from it for my doctor lol. Cults are funny
Me and my crew finished barotrauma 3h later the BIG update, we had a 4 months run with an Iroh, we were all well prepared for him, but not for that depth...
Im still waitin for you to blow up and get a few hundred k subs Problem, Barotrauma isn't really in the favor of the almighty algorithm. Even large Ytubers that cover Barotrauma don't get as many clicks with other games unfortunately Welp. Hope you get a speedy, complete and fullfilling recovery. Looking forward to more Barotrauma lore vids from you!

Don’t worry about! Take your time coming back into the process. I’m just happy to see more of these kinds of videos!
No worries man. We are here for your great content and sometimes you need a break. I’ve been excited for this vid for a while
Take your time. We can wait.
Happy to hear you've recovered!
The eyes on the endworm are huge and might see alot better than we think, they're only small by comparison to the rest of it's body.

I love this barotrauma lore and the effort you put into these videos
big fan of the in-universe style of videos, very cool

That's a good point I didn't think about that

maybe it's a parasite for the behemoth ?

Would be nice if there are more diagrams while explaining the specific body parts with labeling and such, but good work still
Glad to see you return friend! Missed your content! Praise be the Honkmother, and welcome home!
Only recently found your stuff, but I’ve been loving it! Loved all the husk stuff you went over and used a bit of what I learned from it for my doctor lol. Cults are funny
I love your style and your theories, when i found your channel i thought you had like 400k subs but you have only 3,4k. You are really underrated.
and so it arrives at long last!
Good to hear you again.
Can't wait for the ancients video
I have a idea that the end worm we see is a eldar and it kills the fana for its Yong who could be eaten if they rise
I've really enjoyed this series, do you have any plans to cover mod monsters in the future?
Me and my crew finished barotrauma 3h later the BIG update, we had a 4 months run with an Iroh, we were all well prepared for him, but not for that depth...
Perfection as always
@hailstone7470 can you make a video about the hidrothermal wastes?
Ps: Subbed an saved all of the lore vids, why? Because they are damn good...
ah yes just say f it and going at with a mealy that works normally
i love these videos
Im still waitin for you to blow up and get a few hundred k subs

STOP SCREAMING AT ME AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Wew, new vid.
Would you eat crumbs??
We are crumbs to that behemoth
