Appreciate the guides, but it would’ve been super helpful to notate in the guide to absolutely complete this PRIOR to the point of no return. Not super psyched that need to finish the last two chapters of the game *again* for this.
I completed the final two chapters, lowered the difficulty to the lowest setting, and skipped all dialogue and sped through required dialogues, took about an hour and half. Not the end of the world or anything, just worth noting. I enjoyed the game, but def wasn’t excited about redoing that part. 😂
Hmmm, I did everything and there is no last circle. The spot is empty. A bug? (I already finish the game, maybe i need to finish again, but again there is no doc in my libary)
@@NickBünningdid you check the other locations to make sure it wasn’t one of them you missed instead? I thought I had the forest one and was missing the one in the crossroads but it was the other way around.
I need help I've done the dreaded wolf quests followed everything in this video, but the trophy isn't coming up after I get the third circle, what am I doing wrong?
They’re implied to be executors which were kind of a deep cut shadowy organization from beyond the sea who only appeared in two war table missions in Inquisition IIRC
@@43ly51um ah I see. Lots of the other lore nerds are pretty mad with this but haven't they been subtlety hinting at lizard people for awhile now? Or are the executors completely different from the lizard people?
Powerpyx I have nothing but respect for you but you're starting to slip. At the 2:00 mark you should've shown us HOW you get the power crystal to shut down the blue barrier to power up the first beam structure. I had to look up a step-by-step guide for just this specific forest puzzle to find out how to get behind the steel gate and get the required puzzle piece. Otherwise good job but it needs to be a bit more in depth.
Wow. The "Secret Ending" in which we were all played and never made any difference because the 'Illuminati' [Executors] directed the entire (series) history of Thedas. Thanks for showing this!!
@ThatFont Yeah, it could potentially be a wonderful story. Laysh has a port -- or once was a port town, which largely fell to ruin after the Third Blight but not, due to darkspawn. Laysh received ships from across the Volca Sea, cargo vessels with wares and spices from outside Thedas. It was lucrative enough in such harsh territory, until the traders stopped coming early in the Black Age. Ander legend called these traders Voshai. They were hostile to the people of Laysh, uninterested in learning the king’s tongue for anything more than barter. Apparently their is no Blight in their land. They came to Thedas to get lyrium. It may be possible that the Executors are from there and that whoever oversaw Thedosian history could give us a fresh start (new games). They may have been trying to help Thedas survive all along, and so they helped shape everything for our heroes. (tinfoil hat that is not unfounded). *EDIT: More recently, there have been reports that the Voshai have returned to Laysh, telling tales of a "massive cataclysm" in their homeland. However, the accuracy of these reports is questionable.[1] The order of the Green Men, founded in the honor of a hero of the First Blight, leads caravans through the Wandering Hills to Laysh and comprise the best marksmen in Thedas. *Also See: Codex- A Moldy Journal
I love when people make a head canon for themselves and then get mad about their own theories. We literally know nothing about the Executors. Any unsatisfying revelations about them are completely inferred by you. You're literally whining about your own interpretation to the conclusion of a mystery that's barely been hinted at.
Yeah, was mad about most of this game. I think now that the Executors could be a cool thing if and when there is a future Dragon Age game. They could lead us over the ocean to new lands. 👍
Ah, just like how in Shadowlands, the newest antagonist turned(retconned into) out to have been influencing everything since dawn of WoW lore. Taking away all agency and building from previous events. "Twas all planned" nonsense.
@@HelenKorell Regardless, the way they were shown here is just like in Shadowlands. Some "great ancient ebil" influencing everything that ever happened in lore and in turn ruining and cheapening good lore. It's just a hack from "writers" nowadays to painfully graft their bad writing into good old writing, to somehow "expand upon it". I've seen it before, i know to recognize trash now when i see it.
I would kindly ask that you use the word narrative instead of lore. Cause Shadowlands lore was cool as hell. The narrative though, aside for the two-three moments was a shitshow
@@Dreambinder_ It wasn't grand at all. Story focing on afterlife lore, is usually just the second cousin of time travel plots. Since Warlords of Draenor used time travel stuff for "reasons", they couldn't call back upon it. They're there when writers are the end of writing anything else interesting, so they bring some of the old characters for cheap reactions, (and considering how Shadowlands ended, it was there to riff on Arthas, who build WoW into what it was, since fanfiction writers in charge of WoW current writing, couldn't handle someone upstaging their queen). I'd say time travel, afterlife lore, are just some of the stuff that should be used incredibly rarely, along with "5-6th+ sequel revealing this huge, eldrich ebil, that undermines all good character writing cuz of reasons". Just let the plot go forward, bring new characters that stand on their own, and if you must reveal a grand manipulator, don't bring in the 5D chess dude, unless you absolutely must.

Just realising this now after finishing the game, only trophy needed🤦♂️
Should have included the opening if the bridge to the final chest and memento
PowerPyx I have a question: why did you constantly updated the Metaphor guide? it has been constant for me now I’m confused on what to do next
PowerPyx are you going to do Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.
Hmmm, I did everything and there is no last circle. The spot is empty. A bug? (I already finish the game, maybe i need to finish again, but again there is no doc in my libary)
Same with me.... i dont know what to do...

Same here. Did you ever get the trophy?
Thanks

You have to beat the final boss now.
Well 52/52 so all is good!
The lore is pretty extensive so I'm here others know it better - but could these figures be the Forgotten Ones?
