Video Description:
Stellaris is a 4X grand strategy video game developed and published by Paradox Interactive. Stellaris' gameplay revolves around space exploration, managing an empire, diplomacy, and space warfare with other space-faring civilizations.
#Stellaris #Ep3o #crisis
E3PO: “…And declare war on all fallen empires that exist…”
Players with Scion Origin: “Guess I’ll die”.
Defending your FE overlord from her fleets sounds really fun
Luckily Scion empires won't get involved in it.
Looking at the game text, it's the Fallen Empires that declare war on her.
@eliminatorvr1350 That does make me wonder. During the Fallen Empire invasions, Cetana sends fleets into systems she doesn't control, and that players can at least theoretically access. Could a sufficiently trigger-happy empire stall her in phase 1 by teaming up with the Fallen Empire and making sure they aren't wiped out? The Titan probably stays within her borders, so winning in phase 1 is out of the question, but I don't think her win condition progresses either.
@@jacobhanson8083no, if you join a fallen empire and are dragged into war with her, her ships take 0 damage and she summons wormholes in your territory
Something that isn't mentioned in this video is that there is actually an alternative way to defeat Cetana. If you have access to the Shroud, you can commune with the Animator of Clay entity, which was what originally allowed Zarqlan to defeat and seal her away. Pay its price (27182 Zro, a planet or your current ruler) and it will disable Cetana's colossus for a year. You now get a new situation where you must bring a transport ship to her and keep it there for a month. If you succeed the crisis will immediately end, as you have now reprogrammed Cetana to realize the error of her plan and will give you control of her colossus instead of the relic you otherwise get for defeating her.
Build the perfect empire to fight all the Crisis’s at 200X
I dont think you get all at 200x, you get 1 at 25x, 1 at 50x, 1 at 100x, and 1 at 200x. Each successive crisis gets twice as hard as the previous one. Without mods anyways.
@@aeronothis5420i think he means he should try. All 4 Crisis at the same time with mod
Just console command each event.crisis
0:49 "I don't want to do a video on that please don't ask me to"
...
I'm asking you to
I am once again asking for a x200 crisis run.
"At last, I am returned."
Aw, she's so sweet!
"CONTIGENCY ACTIVE."
HELLO?? Human resources???
not in my game. whne i buy that dlc i never use all crisis again until there coem mod delete that parasite trash
dommy nano mommy
With the return thing I think the lore around her and zarqlan pretty awesome.
If you really didn’t want to attempt a 200x crisis you shouldn’t have mentioned it, cause now I want to see it
Crisis? THAT IS THE OMNISSIASH MADE MANIFESTED, PRAISE THE OMNISSIASH
The MOMMYsiah.

@@buzzm.8797more like “Bee boop”
*indistinct machine noises*
Oh boy, can't wait to watch Cetana as she struggles against my mega-amped Gigastructure and Ancient Cache Fallen Empires.
Watching her take down ACOT Fallen Empires is gonna be a treat. Those mods better make sure to buff her accordingly lol.
Rev up those Nicoll-Dyson Beams
@@nineflames2863 *Warms up the Resonance Cascade*
Red King though one of his Lore videos has reported on a slightly more peaceful solution involving connecting the Animator of Clay.
I wonder if being a nanite swarm will have a special interaction with her nanite swarm, similar to what happens with the contingency and psionic empires
I believe it dose
i belive it not. from what i see she is a flat event who think is a crisis half of space rift have more sotry that she do. she not even care you are a robot or lithoid ect
Yes it does I had it yesterday
Psionic empires can ask help from the animator of clay to reprogram cetana.
everyone is annoyed that they used AI for the AI crisis
it’s the perfect use of it
Wait they what?
@@CompletelyNormalHuman Cetana's voice is AI generated.
It makes sense
iirc the person who provided the voice for the AI is getting royalties too so it really is the perfect use of AI
Spoilers if you haven't watched the whole video:
Cetana is basically what I thought the Witness from Destiny lore was going to be. An ancient being who witnessed so much pain and loss that it decided life or consciousness was the greatest mistake and sought to eliminate it, creating an empty universe devoid of it.
Unfortunate that Bungie went with "Douchy alien with a superiority complex". As if that trope hasn't been beaten to death already. Nice to see an ancient threat who isn't comically evil.
i think she more like amun from starcraft btw then witness, because witness dude race wanted to freeze time at very cool moment. and when traveler run away they do Roskomnadzor(suicide). amun want to crash cycle of pain and hattred and replace all life in his likeness
@@morgenmuffel733 The point I was making is that before they revealed the truth about the Witness, I was theorizing that it was like Cetana.
Instead, Bungie went the Saturday morning cartoon villain route and kinda ruined the character for me.
Personally, I blame the people responsible for Lightfall's story.
There's also Project ITOH's Harmony.
nop she is only a very simple but very big bot who cant see anything outside of one commend. im more that sure all her advance tech it just coppy and she cant do nothing more. her idea look just wtf, when use even say she not care abaut you be happy jsut delete that one thing, but if she want end all sentient life suffering she just could kill thme all, if she want end all life suffering them she fail, animals alos can suffers.
they could make her like that ai from the 100 transfer evryone to utopia virual world and delete they memory
or just some bomb to spread her nanits on galaxsy so she can control minds and boddys of evry living thing alos i think she shoudl look differently on biological organisms and mechanical organisms or meyby just focus on bio but not lithoids so evry type of empire end up have dinfreds types of fight and interaction
She has me remembering Arcanum. Sentience is pain so no one gets to be sentience vs life is pain so no one gets to be alive (plus garunteed afterlife)
You should play a run that you spawn all 4 crisis at the same time 100 years into the game.
But first do one where there's 2, then 3, then finally do all 4. So that people watch more videos and he gets more money and traffic revenue!
This has been business success 101 with cade
Thank you thank you.
Technically the Contingency was the first added crisis, it came in a patch alongside Synthetic Dawn and it replaced the AI rebellion which was the third crisis at the time, Synth Queen is definitely the first crisis that requires a DLC though.
*continues to spam laser corvettes*
Enough laser corvettes can deal with anything.
It's just a matter of how hard you commit.
You won't even need Cetana to defeat you, your computer will self-destruct and take you with it for the torment you're putting it through with corvette spam.
I hope it's mining laser corvettes otherwise this is an affront to corvette swarms
Apparently Animator of Clay has special ending to the crisis too. The new content in this dlc has lot of secret events
There is also a relic site about him
I'm fairly certain that the Contingency was not in 1.0 and came with Synthetic Dawn... regardless! A new crisis is very welcome indeed.
If you are playing as a fanatic purifier can you just straight up attack her without having to wait and do all the gross "diplomacy" stuff?
I don't think so. She'll still make demands, and you still have to figure out a way past the nanite swarm before you can go expunge the xeno-toaster that dared force you to have an interaction besides insulting your dying foes.
lets go 200 crisis!!!!
I think you forgot the situation for psionics.
The way I dealt with the crisis was just buying time by killing outposts until my aetherophasic engine was done.
sweats. all hail the queen amirite guys
Can't wait for rule 34.
@@imeryakwut6437 LMFAO
loved the leader names: "Ich esse Bratkartoffeln" and "Rindfleischetikettierungs(gerät - probably)"
Germans trying to not create an abomination of words challenge: (impossible) (it's their fetish)
Probably "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" as the meme goes.
The return of battleship
I have a build suggestion for a video that might surprise you,
Shattered ring worlds and trade habitats are a thing of the past as a new super OP trait got added to the game without anyone noticing.
I am talking about the OVERTUNED trait COMMERCIAL GENIUS.
It provides +25% TV from jobs (probably the best modifier possible for Trade empires) at just 1 trait point and -10 leader lifespan
By itself its mediocre at best BUT it can be stacked with the other TV from jobs traits ( both thrifty and trading algorithms) AND you can double it s effects with the Damn the consequences edict for +100%TV from jobs which is overall 33% more TV compared to last patch.
To make this even better you could use the merchant guilds council position buuuuut theres a better option.
With the cosmogenesis crisis path you can acces fallen empire buildings that provide MERCHANTS just like in the good old days .
As a bonus you can use elevated synapses and augumented intelligence ( with the edict ofc) for +60% research which can dramatically boost tech from OP crisis computer
Oh boy this one will be fun once my mod playset is updated. *Cough* *Cough* Gigastructual engineering: Nicola Dyson beam/QSO *Cough* *Cough* or ACOT.
Cruisersncan carry torpedoes so you could have cruisers with mixed disruptor and torpedos.
This update has made the message in a bottle anomaly the best in the game if it makes the archeological site land on the star. Dyson swarm + 1-3 minor artifact deposit on a star is well a little INSANE and give you almost unlimited minor artifacts
Fun fact, depending on how you beat her her end form and text changes
Im pretty sure that the queen is the second stellaris character to be fully voiced in-game. The first being the blorg.
She took my “Head of Zarqlan” relic from me, it pleased her a lot when I agreed, she spouted some lore stuff about knowing him in the past
some lore spoiler warning i got some lore from her that zarqlan was the one who sealed her with the help of a powefull shroud demon
@@TheNorman222 aaaah, that explain the relic site about this animator clay and the shroud
30:45
Go go gadget, pixel reducer!
Just fought her on x25 with nanite ships. Interdictor ships with devastator torpedos then a mix of nanites auto cannons and plasma. Also had 12 230 capacity fleets of swarmers so an ungodly number of interceptors. Good lawd that was a rough fight
She clapped me super hard! I took all her outposts and when it was time to take her out I just couldnt with this battleships design even with almost all buffs (didnt have the X weapon damage from ascension).
She has an insane power fleet for the difficulty I was on (admiral 5x). She spawned late with crazy fleets, some 2M fleets, a bunch (I mean a bunch) of 800k fleets, her main ship itself had 8M fleet power with probably another 8-10x 400k fleets on her capital. 3600 nav cap of this battleships got easily wiped on her capital and well can't rebuild 400k alloys when you're on a timer. I think in my game her total fleet power was probably around 30M considering the respawns (I think all 400k fleets are late waves/respawns)
ie: she had around 4-5M smaller fleets on her border, I attacked the other side of her empire. first a 2M fleet showed up, then 2x 800k fleets and finally another 2x 750k fleets. The 4M I could see didnt move at all those were all extra ships. Later on her capital I found the 8M ship and 8-10 400k fleets which well I could defeat if I could wait 100 plus months to reinforce all my fleets for over 400k alloys then the time ran out.
it was fun
Having specialized fleets/control groups is the key.
So I was little late in reaching system where Cetana convoys were stationed. So the outpost event popped up. I have cleared 4 outposts and convoys are no where to be seen.
I wonder what happens of the fallen empires have awaken before she arrives. Are they better able to protect themselves, or are their fates sealed?
Me and my brother are going to do a multiplayer run with all crisis on. I do not expect us to survive the lag. I will probably just shove other empires into the synaptic lathe to stop it. I expect a fallen empire to awaken before she shows up. Hopefully after the contingency
The war in heaven started in my play through and went on about 20-30 years, the crisis started and in a few quick years all the fallen empires were destroyed.. I don’t think it made any difference. I wasn’t fully prepared for it to spawn either and missed the notification she was arriving. To my unpleasant surprise seeing the notifications that both fallen empires had been destroyed was a bit unsettling. So here I am learning how to deal with this lol
no. they're no so much stronger after awakening
She still rips them apart, I have a game running where she spawned after a fallen empire awakens.
i saw what will happen she just slaughters them aswell
Hey you can get some unique events if you have the relic ‘head of zarqlan’. Cetana has some history with him.
I think it would have been great if there was a way to show her the error of her ways as well as a way to actually show her there is a better way.
Now play the mod where all 4 Crisis Spawn at the same time.
Thanks a lot for the video. And what about the option where the player needs to "hack her" according to the instructions received from the cover from the Animator of clay (Glory to the Synthethic Gods), and not kill her? After all, in this version (the hacking process takes place during the battle and costs a lot of resources, but), if everything works out, she will survive, become kind and, in gratitude for the fact that you "opened her eyes", she will give you a titan of power 390к
The custom Colossus reminds me of the Loyal Vasari Titan from Sins of a solar empire rebellion
Thought the same but about the juggernaut
Interestingly enough, I ended up getting the fleet power overflow glitch where her skull was replaced with a 1. I wonder what her actual power is at 1x strength and Grand Admiral. She survived for a pretty impressive amount of time against my ~5M fleet when I engaged her in her home system, despite the fact that I was mainly using fallen empire escorts with loads of torpedos.
In my recent playthrough I also saw power of her titan and when starbase was alive it said 5M, but when starbase was down it said only about 276k (I was on either 4.75x or 5x crisis)
Sucks that im never gonna see it and its only ever going to give me unbidden with a low chance of contingency
I really want to watch this video but I also really want to go into this crisis blind
So I'll come back later and leave this comment because algorithm
I think a similar design to what we'd use to take out the Unbidden would be good. I've been testing mega cannon battleships with kenetic artillery and whirlwind missiles to counter excessive shields and been fairly successful. Only change seems to be the need for Torpedo support as well for this crisis
So wait, what happens if you side with her? You just lose in the end?
Yes
You get a achievement if your on Ironman though!
Wild game design, 10/10 pdx moment
Cetana stood no chance to fleets that when combined gave me 1155 frigates, neither, however, did my computer
I would like to see a playthrough where you run cosmogenesis as a counter to Cetana. In particular, I think the Riddle Escorts 3 Torpedoes per ship might help
I know the solution... A planet craft from the gigastructures?
Tbh on vanilla, this is like the final boss of the game, even aside from the other end-game crisis.
I was running fleets of a titan, carrier BS, missile criusers, and picket destroyers.
I came to this video because Cetana's fleets are 7 mil fleet power each and my fleets are 150k power each.
Other than "spam small ships" I've learned nothing new in this video, and I am TERRIFIED of when I'll have to fight her.
what happens if all the fallen empires in the galaxy have woken up before she arrives?
They get slaughtered. The game rigged heavily against them.
I often play Scion Origin… since she always targets the fallen empires first (and wins) does that mean that I’m a dead man walking the minute she spawns in?
Probably.
Nah if she declares war on a fallen empire your a scion of you don’t join the war
She won't attack you, the Fallen Empires are the ones who declare war on her and scions are only obligated to join defensive wars.
You get the free fallen empire gifts early on, then get 'liberated' from your overlord in the late game without having to lift a finger (which may save you from being dragged into a fatal War in Heaven too).
The only problem, admittedly a seriious one, is you may be left with a wormhole linking your capital to the Crisis' core space.
@@finaldusk1821 nah she can’t start in a fallen empire that has a scion
The new crisis sounds scary because I normally like having the power of the galactic custodian to make the entire galaxy fight but it seems like it wouldn’t be an option
Yeah, and what about Scion origin? When she wardecs FE, she will do it to you
I imagine the galactic community can still declare her a crisis, just that it's harder to convince everyone to do so?
At the very least, surely it has to be an option once she declares all-out-war herself?
@@eliminatorvr1350
Oh, Scions are fine!
They're only obligated to join defensive wars, and since their Fallen overlords are technically the ones who declare war on the Crisis, that's considered an offensive war even if it's pre-emptive self-defence.
Cosmogenesis ship fleets make her a walk in the park.
What about late game lag? Why should I come back to the game when I can't enjoy the gameplay?
I played a nanotech maschine empire and just gave the torpedos to the nanite swarmer ships so i just had free torpedo ships to just throw at her wich was quite usefull
I had a glitch where the research project you need to beat her to takes 5000 days.
Unless that's sadism on the part of the devs and not a glitch at all.
The AI may not be helping in the fight, but they sure are gonna make her lag.
I used thousands of the new nanite swarm ships to kill her titan, fun game
not super hyped about this crisis but I guess robot users, minmaxers and lathe makers will love the 50 free pops
Praise the Momnissiah
DO NOT ENGAGE THE QUEEN WHEN THERE'S A SPACE STORM GOING ON. It's difficult to see the space storm where there's a existing nanite storm but make sure you check the tolltip
--- Definitely not someone that got wiped by 5X Cetana despite having 9k alloy and 13k science production
A fantastic video, thank you for all the tips and tricks.
Is she part of the vanilla game now, or dlc only? Edit: Nope - looks like my galaxy is a little safer until payday lol
Used mod and then Nicol dyson beam the enitre solar system when she gets first spawned. *Nooo, you can't spawn camp her!*
The custom colussus seems pretty cool
Hey question I heard somewhere that there is some other way to defeat her using the shroud entity called the Animator of Clay? Is there any truth to that?
Not watching because i dont want spoilers but liking the video anyway
If she goes out of her way to kill the Fallen Empires, how do you deal with that as a Scion of a Fallen Empire?
you are free at last :p
Be me, finally manage to get time to play the new dlc, struggle to figure out all the new stuff (including Astral rifts since I skipped that one back when it released) PLEASE RNG GODS DON'T SPAWN THE NEW CRISIS!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could full on ally her if you are a machine intelligence or determined exterminator? Basically have the goals of the machines aligne, especially since become the crisis gives you the option to fulfill her goal (at least from what I understood) alone already.
you can if you’re a nanite machine

@@tillk7518 You just take the nanite ascention path and you can talk to het to give you a buff and it advances her situation

@@tillk7518 limitations of the engine i’m afraid :/
there’s likely mods that let you play as her but i’ve been on vanilla for a while getting achievements

She killed my immortal leader when i annoyed her.
wait what about the shroud animator of clay? i just see lore video The Red King talk about this and want to know what well happen if you buy the doll of zroni priest
Is there some reason why we shouldn't use Cruisers instead of Battleships with that build. Aside from not being able to wield an X slot weapon?
Any tips on fixing my tech tree. It's been five years and I'm still researching the very first techs? I'm running the same settings you are, (My economy's fine. Currently have 160science)
