“You earned all the credits… Undo the surgery… be normal again…”
Genuinely heartbreaking.
In the original Japanese version of the line he says “undo the surgery… live a normal life…”
Basically the same but this version kinda hits harder for me.
It still saddens me that regardless of his motives, Walter still wanted us to be free.
another reason i burned tf out of rubicon, its not like his motives were unfounded coral is so dangerous
@@Kazuhira2249We were extremely lucky to survive the coral explosion as well. Imagine what would happen to normal people. It could cause even greater destruction than the Fires of Raven.
@@Kazuhira2249dangerous... Yet so beautiful and cool
@@Kazuhira2249it's dangerous when something like ALLMIND uses it. When used correctly, it can and will be a great benefit. The problem isn't the coral, it's who's using them. My opinion and take away though so I respect yours.
@@Kazuhira2249 its not, do 3rd ending
The part where he said "you found a friend", it sounded very... fatherly, like a father telling his son that he was happy and proud of him for developing such a close relationship with someone. Damn... Was NOT expecting that from him of all people, but then again, that's Fromsoft for you, always exploring the complexity of the human spirit, and it's many varied (of concealed and not expressed) intentions...
That line spoken while he's lowering his weapon and letting you go just hit so hard
“well, could’ve been two friends if you didn’t shoot the other one” (shrug)
@@XDD50Hz oooooh that burns
@XDD50Hz was so so sad when rusty got cut off from comms. That mission with him was so good
Well 621 is a gen 4 augmented human, said to be very socially withdrawn (explanation as for why we aren’t voiced) and not only that, walter realizes we’re fighting for the exact same reason he is. I like him because despite ordering us around, he always demanded respect for us from others, and shows us that same respect in the end
The old friends:
Gehrman
Uncle Gael
Isshin
and now, Waltuh
Waltuh, put your AC away Waltuh, I'm not igniting the coral for you Waltuh
You forgot about Gwyn.
@beanboi8838 but Gwyn isn't a friend. He is a husk who you dont interact with until the end
@@beanboi8838 Gwyn is the main antagonist
And Gideon Ofnir
It wouldn’t be a Fromsoft game if the final boss wasn’t a tragic fight against an old guy/ mentor
And sad music, don’t forget the sad music as you stab the old guy to beat the game.
@@gabbycotto4024что то я не помню грустной музыки на иссине
@@user-ix3lb1hv1eтут скорее Гвин под описание подходит. Ну или например концовка Асуры в Секиро
this ending was so bittersweet cause yeah it was extremely cool but im on the verge of crying, losing rusty out of nowhere and fighting walter :(
Bro I cried when I fought rusty the first time and hearing him die made me cry. Then now I had to fight walter!?!? And told me I finally found a friend, is very saddening ad its one of his last words.
I think Walter killed Rusty. Like, who else would? Every other ACs pretty much gone.
Freud maybe?
@@tinglyalarm Yes, Rusty killed him if you don't kill him during the uprising of the Rubicon Liberation Front to aid Raven
@@whyareyouhere6274it sounds like you can hear Walter's coral beam go off right before rusty's comma go out...
"621...you've made a friend..."
And so, New Game Plus, I honored my Master...for I cannot truly choose between Ayre and Walter.
I choose Rusty, best buddy you could ever want
I choose Walter, he give me job
I don't even understand how one can be confused about this Ayre litteraly is a manipulative bitch meanwhile Walter is a chad
Samesie
I choose double Zimmerman
I killed him too fast to notice myself, but Ayre tries to play the middle here, she knows we don’t want to fight him as much as he doesn’t want to fight us
When his health hits half she starts pleading for you both to stop,
Walter was compelled to fight us through whatever 'reeducation' procedure was implamented against him. Very tragic, we hear only fragments of himself.
@@williamhanna9718 Walter might have stopped if it weren't for the brain washing. At least I would like to believe that.
bruh ayre is fking trash. she literally tries to kill you unless you betray walter and carla. this is NOT the "good" ending lmao
@@Snack-Sized-Femboy wtf? Unless you betray Walter and Carla, you will destroy her entire species. Do you think she should just wait and watch all of her people getting killed?
Walter dedicating his life to make up for the loss of his friend only to spare ours because we were willing to do everything for ours.
I was so shocked how attached I got to some of these characters, especially compared to previous AC and FromSoft games
Agreed!
You've got Walter, starting out with the expectation that you'll probably die before finding the coral, only to slowly become more attached and start looking out for your character's wellbeing and actually sounding glad in the end when he realised you made a friend.
Speaking of, you've then got Ayre, she's got your characters back since the end of the first chapter, helps you out in fights and even finds work for you as much because she enjoys going on missions with you, as you enjoy shooting the crap out of everything in those missions.
And in this playthrough, when it comes down to it, you've got her back too, siding with her against the corporations, Carla and even Walter.
And on top of all that, you've got Rusty, who pretty much looks out for you the whole way through this playthrough
When you climb the wall he backs you up against the juggernaut and when it's over he straight up tells you that Arqebus wanted to sacrifice you.
Then when you fight him, yes he's definitely trying to kill you, but he's also concerned about whether you've found a reason to fight or if there's anyone you care about enough to fight for, and in turn if anyone cares about you.
And in the end, the guy straight up signs on as soon as he hears your name, fights alongside you and eventually dies taking down a fleet of warships to make sure you have the best chance of succeeding.
Accidental essay but hey, I like this game too much to shut up :D
IKR, I was totally unprepared
imagine if Allmind save Walter's combat data in simulation
Allmind : "registration number, BrBa991. Subject's AC, Baby Blue. Call sign, Heisenberg"
Handler Walter : "you're god d*mn right"
I just beat the game and got this ending. I beat Walter, but I stood there silently. I wanted to cry because of what happened to him and how you have to fight him.
I had hoped he would actually be an alright operator after all. I was right 😢 his motives were understandable even if they weren’t right.
On top of that, in spite of everything, with his last words just seemed genuinely glad that 621 finally found a friend
I feel what made this fight even more engaging for me was beating him first try and in a way it felt so wrong to kill him just like you have beaten your father or mentor
so its not super obvious in this ending, but hes also been kind of brainwashed. when arquebus captured you, they also got walter. he kind of planned for this though, which is why youre able to escape. walter isnt so lucky, and he goes through the "re-education" program which im assuming is a fucked up version of augmentation
@@dizzykay9904 That’s why I said it’s sad what happened to him. You can tell he’s been brainwashed / experimented on. Man, Arquebus is a horrendous corp.
@@LordchunkyboiI beat him first try too and it was the only time I wasn't happy to win.
This hit me WAY harder than Ayre...
ong
Ayre? The only thing that made me sad about the fires of raven ending was that I had to kill Rusty.
10/10 handdown best operator ever
All this did was make me angry with Arquebus Walter was a good man and in the end he was proud of 621
this ending is the saddest one imo
and it's supposed to be the good ending
damn you fromsoft
@@EchoOne101They took a page from Yoko Taro's book and hit us in the feels with the good ending😭
"You earned ALL the credits... Undo the surgery... Become normal again."
The only "good" ending.
No mass genocide. No sudden, catastrophic forced evolution.
The story of the ending is the story of Walter choosing not to take the last shot. Of knowing all the horror that *could* happen, but choosing to trust someone you care about.
Of sacrifice, in the hope for a better way.
Absolutely not, fire of raven all the way, aliens shall not be trusted.
This is the exact moment Walter became IB-C03. HAL 826
I love this trend From Software has of playing a variation of the main theme as the final boss song. It was amazing in elden ring and it was amazing here too. The big ass smile i had when i heard that motif from the trailer was unmatched.
I really want to know what happened to Walter here. Did he get captured by Arquebus and turned into a Gen 9 with a control device? Did his mind get taken by the Coral or some institute technology and he got turned into some kind of augmented monster??
Arquebus says they took him for re-education same as you. What I like to think is that he was released as a weapon during the fight for Rubicon. But some manner of his will remains trying to still light the fire by stopping you.
The way I look at is that Arquebus essentially sacrificed Walter's soul to become one with coral thus we see him piloting an Ibis-class mecha only powered by coral.
Like the other commentor mentioned, he's half-alive fighting to keep his friend's dreams alive, but then he realizes you've also found a friend, and are fighting to keep their dream alive.
@@CLARENCErr I think they fused him with coral too but the item descriptions for his AC parts say that its the only Ibis-class AC made to be piloted by humans, so theres a good chance hes in the mech or atleast parts of his body.
@@anenemystand5582 Now I feel really good about V.II Snail's screams as his machine incinerated him.
@@mrct592nah fuck snail
It was really sad to see what Arcibus did to my boi walter. Knowing that V2 had put him through forced coral augmentation and slaped him in an old ibis AC to serve as there hound against his will was heartbreaking. You can even tell walter was in pain and destress when he talked to 621, it even seemed like he was struggling to maintain controll over his own thoughts and actions. Even seeing and hearing ravens coral friend. Only possible through coral augmentation surgery, the same one raven got. But in walters case u can tell it was far more intrusive of a surgery than normal
I kinda imagine it's like Ein from ibo when they did a AV surgery into a experimental mobile suit to save his life with tubes and coral shoved into his brain
The sole reason I replay the two missions where I get the opportunity to kill Snail over and over again. Fuck Snail, all my homies hate Snail.
The "re-education" program of Arqeubus is much worse than just augmentation. They literally merge the pilot to the ac, as mentioned in the data logs.
After that fight I looked on my palms and saw blood of my comrades and rivals on it. What a game, man... 🚬
"look at you, 621... You found a friend."
I was surprised I got his mech parts. Made a sick blacked out build and built on that red energy and the coral generator. Such a cool mech.
Same
I love the HAL parts because of the way all of it parts and vents from its legs up opened up to reveals glowing heated inner parts during armor cooldown
@@Skyleader-pn4pmthis like in Armored Core Verdict Day, the 2nd phase of the boss fight, he open up all the vent and it glowing orange and you can see it.
Not to mention the Ibis Walter pilot resemble the final boss of Verdict Day so much, N-WGIX/v
So...what happened to Rusty? Did he straight up die or did he survive after he was shot down by Walter? I kinda dig the whole Pixy vibe coming from him and it'd be a shame to not see him again in the future.
Yo, buddy~ Still alive?
Unfortunately, Rusty is likely dead. That hyperbeam hit him when he was caught off guard.
walter kills him
Walter PJ'd him.
Its been assumed that Snail's "last plan" was to deploy Walter's AC, which lines up with Rusty suddenly cutting out.
“621. Feed the fire. Let the last cinders burn. I have one last job for you. Find your freedom.”
“Burn the coral… and our job will be over… you’ve earned all the credits…. Undo the surgery.. be normal again…. 62.. 1…”
“Look at you… 621…. You found.. a friend….”
Pain. Suffering. Agony, even.
Damn
Walters VA knows how to make assholes (on the first glance) just to make them relateable and likable
But his AC seems to me like an Big ragna the bloodedge reference to me
-red
-Green and red eyes
-Stubborn and ungiving as hell
-still cares about the ones close to him
Intentionally making my build weaker to make the fight with him last longer bcuz WALTER STOP IT PLS I DON'T WANT TO KILL U!
Wished waltuh didnt had to die
he survives if you burn rubicon leaving a message to you in the post credits, he says thanks for following his legacy and that he wishes you now to be free and lead your own destiny
@@Kazuhira2249I don’t think he survived. It was a prerecording in the case that you succeeded. He likely knew he was going to die.
@@LeW_42 it's very headcanony. Walter would've been on Rubicon during the burning unless The Factory they sent him to is off world. Unlikely though. The only way he doesn't suffer brainwashing it looks like, is in the True Ending.
Put your d away Waltuh
@@mrct592But in that ending, he gets merked anyway, so no ending is good for him. Which is sad, I loved how his character came across. He tried to act distant but was super concerned about you the whole way through and tried to make sure everyone treated you right.
So he actually says "you earned all the credits"? He must've been delirious in his final moments.
Ngl I had 4mil credits during because I just stuck to 1 loadout during this entire time. Idk if that's enough to undo the augumentation
@@akumashikikanACs are expensive as hell to field, build, and maintain. I have to imagine undoing the surgery couldn’t cost anymore than building a high end AC.
Had to pause the game, I don't want to kill Carla nor do I want to kill a planet
carla will die regardless she sacrifices herself to burn the coral, but tbh id much rather just burn rubicon
Dude killing Carla was hard but killing Chatty was harder
Carla tried to kill me the mission i met her, despite the fact she already knew i worked for walter. I never really trusted her.
@@brycethornerShe was actually testing you if you were worth the risk and to see if Walter made the right decision in choosing 621.
When we run away, we do it backward, like we were still looking at him one last time. After everything, Handler did care and have faith in us, that why I choose the Fires for my first ending and I still prefer it over liberator. Though this ending have better moments.
After 3 hours non stop trying to kill arquebus balteus, got this on my second try. Classic fromsoftware having the final boss be easier than the ones close to the end. Such a sick fight tho.
Tbh i find it hits harder for fights like these
I see them less as a bossfight and more an end for one of the main characters
@@jeph7434 I typed that on my first playthrough. I struggled A LOT on my second playthroughs boss. Third ending I got first try. Prob a lot of it had to do with build switching. but also just getting better and having os tuning maxed
Hopefully other Rubiconians will make contact with other humans, and we can progress down the path of life... together
nah bruh these mfs gonna get mined
Classic Fromsoft, pitting the player against tired old men as the final boss
When trailer ost kicked in i got goosebumb
This shit broke me. I never get emotional over games, but this shit almost made me cry.
*Walter... Put your augmentations away Walter. I'm not burning the Rubicon with you right now Walter.*
This ending was sad, but damn dude that yt outro goes hard af I subbed
You will live on in our memories, you were more than operator to us Walter, you were...a Father
this is the canon ending for me
I... Uh... I basically one shotted him with the pile bunker... I kinda feel bad
Go replay the mission, and give our old friend an honorable battle…
:')
Who knew those shotguns are the best weapons in the game and here I’ve been using a plasma gun on my first build lol
I’m not crying, your crying
Your right, I am but so are you
Your teacher is your last enemy?
If you decide to against Carla. (There are 2 paths after the floating city is activated, take on Carla (Walter will be the final boss) or take on the Corporation (Ayre will be the final boss) this video shows the former choice).
I wouldn't call Walter our teacher lol, dude is an asshole if you have watched the trailers for the game
The saddest fight in the game hands down.
Damn, I need that soundtrack
The man who passes the torch
No one’s uploaded it yet it’s annoying. The tracks called ‘The man who passed the torch’ and it goes so fucking hard. Managed to get it in the preorder
Walter was brainwashed and put into that AC, forced to fight, and as he aims that weapon at us he manages to wrestle back control and give us one final farewell.
And in the cutscene there is actually a rare instance of 621 showing empathy or something along those lines. While Walter aimed his weapon at you, primed and ready to fire, 621s AC is just standing there. Not aiming a weapon, not in any combat stance, almost like they are hesitating to kill Walter.
As we all should know 621 being a Gen 4 Augmented Human means emotions are heavily suppressed by the surgery. So that means whatever 621 was feeling in that moment was strong enough that even they couldn't bear to kill Walter.
Undo the surgery and have a normal life😢
I love that this game continues the Fromsoft tradition of having you fight your Dad near/at the end of the game
Even in Armored Core they still need to get in that Berserk reference!
where?
@@edusiqkaonerge The head of Walter's AC looks like the helmet from Gut's Berserk armor.
@@cameronstone4495 now that you
mentioned, yes it does indeed 😂
@@edusiqkaonerge The designer for HAL 826 was also did Macross, Shoji Kawamori
Goddammit Fromsoft, making me attatched to a disembodied voice then rip it away from me
I like to think he died with a smile on his face
waltuh put your armors away waltuh
When you risk humanity for audio waifu
This is the good anding and also the saddest
how is this good, rubicon will still be in an endless war, corporations will still fight over coral and worse they might start using it
In armored core there are no "good" ending.
I would say that Last Raven has a good ending. In the pulverizer and zinaida endings, all corporations, the internecine and all other ravens are destroyed leaving humanity the chance to start over.
Anyone know what AC parts he was using and likely internals to support said AC?
you get them after you kill him
idk about the weapons tho
@@theancientlonkychonky2262 Thanks, and found that out a few minutes ago, now I just need to replay the missions and see if I can find any weapons lying around to plunder... It is not as effective as the build I used to kill him, but that makes sense since my build butchered him..
@jakeforgey5378 the weapons for that ac aren't available until ng++
@@kishin3146 Damn, gonna not be getting them until Wednesday then...
You get the laser weapon after fighting him in the arena in New Game ++
damn looking at reviews for the game and the title spoiled the final boss top of the feed too, damn yt algorithm
Best thing to do in that situation is to pick the option telling TH-cam to never suggest that channel again.
If it's any consolation this is only one of the possible final bosses.
This was so bittersweet. Man.
"Encontraste a un amigo" en este momento todos los hombres lloramos
After the floating city is reactivated there are 2 paths that leads to different outcome, take on Carla (Walter will be the final boss) or take on the Corporation (Ayre will be the final boss) this video show the former choice.
Ty for spoiling other ending 😊
@@UniquelyAwful hehe sorry for that.
@@UniquelyAwfulA piece of advise to you, never ever go to the comments or even watch YT before ending the games.
@@lonewolf4689I finished the ENDING that this video is about, not my fault this asshat posts this same response on like 12 different videos for no reason
You're welcome for reading the comments of a literal ending scenario
So that's on you
V.IV snail to Walter: *Get in the robot walter*
V.IV snail...
Snail is VII...
wonder if we can get the Parts of Walter's AC?
You do. Once you beat him. You unlock it when starring ng+
When you beat him, you get his AC's parts
It’s not Armored Core unless your ending is miserable
Waltuh, put your laseh away, i don't wanna fight you
His AC really reminded me of that AC in For Answer
Yes, it was designed by the same guy
Coral living with human ,i think this ending is win win
Waltuh
Walter's ending was the good ending and you can't change my mind. Coral is bad for humanity and seeing what it did to Walter is proof of that.
This was caused by Arquebus's re-education, not Coral. Walter's very last words should show you that even he realizes that mankind and Coral can coexist.
Both the good and bad ending are just Rubicon Simulator that Allmind put 621 through...
@@cordyceps182it shouldn't, though. We see no matter what that Ayre is not satisfied with her current state of being, and wishes to merge humanity with coral, sacrificing everything that makes you human. A lot of people want to believe that Ayre has humanity's best interest in mind, but there's no way of knowing. There are no good or bad endings.
THANK YOU, im so tired of people saying ayre is the only good one@@russian_knight
@@russian_knight Ayre is incredibly manipulative, they really layer on a sense of innocence, positive reinforcement and companionship whilst concealing her agenda. Basically Arquebus or Allmind but with a bright eyed smile.
That alone makes me cautious.
"Look at you...621..."
"You found...a friend..."
Probably my favorite boss fight in a from soft game so far.
I accidentally hit the pause button and skipped the ending 🙃
I would say that despite everything, aside from Ayre and Michigan, Walter really cared for 621
I want the song for this fight
‘The man who passed the torch’ is what it’s called. Not on YT yet though I don’t think
The man who burned it all
@@Medved- wrong song.
Walter, Carla, Chatty >>>> weird space fungus voice lady that invaded my mind
Agreed
I mean all of them died in the FOR ending anyhow lol.
It's even worse for Walter, at last here we put him out of his misery and let him die content. While in FOR he'll most likely be Arquebus's slave for a long, long time.
@@TheZ691 In FOR we basically destroyed Arquebus. I doubt many people are surviving that explosion.
I also think there's a meaningful difference between people you know dying as a result of factors outside of your control and killing them with your won hands. Essentially, I don't want to kill Carla or Chatty and knowing they die anyway doesn't change that.
@@wolfiewoo3371
No we don't. Arquebus still exist as shown in the FOR ending cutscene where they and the PCA and Balam agreed to never set foot on the devastated Rubicon ever again.
Besided there are no hints that the Factory (not the reeducation camp) is located in Rubicon. Could've been off-planet for all we know. Heck there's a possibility that Snail survived in FOR since it's canon that he was fighting in Xylem and not on Rubicon and would most likely turn tail and run after Freud and the interceptor fleet failed to stop Xylem.
"That voice...621, I see it next to you..."
What was the ost playing during this fight called?
The man who passed the torch.
"그래... 621..."
"네게도... 지인이 생긴 건가..."
I somehow beat him before he could heal it was bizarre I beat the boss in like 10 seconds
1:14 plin plin plon?!
And then he said kindling the fire.
I just can’t see this as anything other than the bad ending based on what I know about coral
Depends on how you look at it
Pretty sure the other ending is more of a case of you kill a loooot of people and burn planets and remove coral technology from being a possibility, but you guarantee humanity continues without a collapse
Or in this ending, you potentially doom humanity to a coral collapse, but with the potential for a better future (assuming you and Ayre are successful at preventing the collapse) where humanity and coral co-exist
So it's less good ending, bad ending and more risk vs reward on a massive scale
It literally is the bad ending, alien empathizers are dumb.
@@WhenGoatsWentBaaOk so we risking humanity for a microscopic alien species, we are in copper.
"You earned the credits, undo the surgery, live a normal life..."
Me: was that the plan Walter? Were we hounds ever done? Or were we doomed to continue to do your bidding for all time? Or were you saying that now that I've become Raven?
You'll be free after you've burned the coral
I must say - I prefer the "bad ending" over the good ending.
Even though I don't understand how Walter seems to be fine in the bad ending despite the exact same stuff happening.
But man do I feel shit for killing this guy.
No he wasn't fine
In the Fires of Raven time line he was going through re-education by Arquebus after being captured but was not in time to be released for the final phase of the missions since you fight Snail and Freud instead presumably they were enough for the mission on Xylem
So Walter died together with the Rubicon branch of Arqebeus in the flames
Meanwhile my theory for the Liberator of Rubicon is that they released Walter prematurely on the HAL suit which could be why he still has his old consciousness slightly intact instead of sending Freud who could be busy dealing with the Rubicon Liberation Front
always possible it was just a prerecorded message meant for 621 after they completed the mission
Bad ending is the long term good ending. Walter and Carla are right, Ayre is manipulative bicth instead
@@amitojsingh7583I'm not too sure about that either, though. Coral is not the enemy, it is the corporations which seek to exploit it that are. Walter and Carla were consumed by fear of *what might* happen if Coral is not eradicated. At the end of the day, both sides are equally as strong in their convictions.
@@spookerslayer9722 my reasoning on why i chose the "bad ending" was that these corporations would never stop to try and seize the coral and exploit it. unfortunately, the confict would continue and new corporations will be made for that end, and as the coral continues to reproduce the conflict will become galactic. it was an unfortunate scenario, but ayre's promise to find a way really doesn't hold much reassurance to me by seeing what could happen if we are wrong...
So we’re in copper
This ending being the good ending is BS. The fact that you betray your friends and people that trusted and saved you from Arquebis just to follow some voice from the Coral that wants coral to survive when they don't even have a plan on what to do. Coral is some sentient that is trying to keep itself alive, Carla and Walter want to destroy to stop this coral war. I think the other one is clear good ending.
Burning the coral would trigger another fires of ibis and wipe out life on Rubicon as well as life on other nearby planets. There could be trillions of lives caught up in that. The good ending isn't perfect either as the corporations are still around and even though they are beaten. Given enough time they'll rise once again to go after the coral that has been fully extracted. 621 can keep opposing them but everyone has their limits.
Sure burning the whole planet and killing bilions both coral and humans is the good ending
Its not the war that they wanted to stop. Its the theorized calamity that could ensue if the coral reaches space. Which apparently it would have exponential growth rates. Like a flood.
That said blowing uo the coral would also kill everyone on rubicon so regardless. You kill a lot of people either endings.
But you protect the galaxy with this ending i guess
The other ending literally has you destroy an entire planet and all of its inhabitants lmao. What are you on?
I feel like a big point is that the Coral is sentient, so in the Fires ending not only are you committing one genocide of humans, but two genocides, killing off a race of fledgling sentients that haven't been given much of a chance. Sure Ayre's hopes are vague, but they leave the door open for the future.
Waltuh let's cook coral dust instead waltuh
I still have no clue what exactly Coral is
It's a living substance that can be used as a near near infinite energy source.
@@diccchocolate416 yeah but the way our lady treats it and speaks about it, it seems like idk, its really really living, talking etc?
@@daethmer7834
the way i see it its basically like a sentient highly flammable fungus or algae
Which isn’t too unreal on one part, Biofuels are pretty common irl. Algae and fungus for fuel.
But usually we convert them into alcohol or oils.
Sentience is kinda odd so with that we can consider coral basically a sentient alien race.
Sentient fuel, FUN!
The thing that confuses me is how it has “directionality” my best guess is how it chooses a desired direction to flow towards is maybe the coral can choose to detonate bits of it in a controlled way. Maybe coral does not ignite like starting a fire but like C4? But that wouldn’t explain how volatile it is.
How i visualize it is imagine you had a droplet of gasoline but only one side of it is burning pushing the rest to the other direction.

Short answer:
It's a hivemind of self-replicating particles that can be used for a multitude of things. It doesn't actually "think" the way we do outside of rare C-Wave mutations like Ayre or Seria, and generally acts on impulse like a swarm of insects.
Long answer:
There are notes scattered throughout missions, as well as weapon descriptions that give you bits and pieces of info on what Coral swarm intelligence is; basically, it's a hivemind of self-replicating particles that can be used as an energy source or information conductor. It's like a fungus or algae in that the coral doesn't "think," but there are rare C-Wave mutations like Ayre that have the capacity for thought independent of the swarm, brainwave communication with those receptive to their signals, and direct manipulation of technology.
We can communicate with said C-Wave mutations because we underwent an older form of human augmentation that makes people more receptive to their "voices," but C-Wave mutations are the exception-- not the rule; it's the reason we can hear Ayre, but not any of the other Coral voices clearly. On that note, there are other ways to become receptive to the voice of the Coral (taking it as a drug like the Dosers do, or being directly exposed to it and getting "contaminated" by it).
To those that can't hear the Coral, it's basically schizophrenia-inducing since we're ultimately hearing voices that aren't there, but that's the whole reason Walter wanted to burn the Coral; if enough of it gathers in one spot, it'll burst out into space the way a fungus spreads its spores, which to a scientist that doesn't understand the coral, means that it'll contaminate more people.
To be perfectly honest i think this outcome vs the other 2 was rhe best one . A sad ending but ultimately a better outcome.
You could have just used "Final Boss" only and not include Handler Walter in the title. This video showed up in my feed and now I got spoiled. WTF?
There are multiple final bosses.
Who cares if you get spoiled
@@Medved- could have simply showed the screenshot to show which one it is, both final bosses dont have any spoilers in their design, but their name is a massive spoiler
Wouldn’t including Walter in the title be a worst spoiler, since it’s unavoidable now?
not walter, just the mech
Just scrolling through youtube and you spoiled the final boss for me. Please change the title of this video the game just came out dude.
There are multiple final bosses, this is just one of em. Depending on your choices you might not even fight him.
Walter is the very first guy you talk to in the game and this dude is online like "hey final boss is walter!" The guy who used this video title is a douche
Walter is chad
Ayre is digger
More like:
Walter is the strict father that cares
Ayre is the "ride or die" bff
Dude. Quit cutting the boss dialog off. Use a run with a slower kill.
Yes I'd really love to give this boss more room and time to move about. Do you not see how much damage he does. Ya no thanks. Maybe you can do that when you fight him
Fight him yourself and get the dialogue. Entitled lmfao
🤣 I would normally let them talk but the longer this mofo is alive the faster he kills me. It's a rough fight. I just came in with mindset to shred him.
Why did you put spoilers in the title??
I felt more guilty fighting Ayre than Walter, because you were a pawn to Walter, an investment. Ayre actually cared about you, so that fight was betraying a friend. Walter, youre breaking free of your master
If you look at it at face value then sure, except Walter is a complex character. Despite what others may say, I think burning Coral to save multiple star systems inhabited by a Type 2 civilization has more weight than sparing a single planet based on a speculation and a promise of humans coexisting with Coral.
@@user-yi3wt7ve6h which ending, to make a long story short, would make you more of an environmentalist? Strange question maybe, but if we're going this direction, I cant seem to logically come up with that answer? Sacrifice a starfield to save one planet? Or sacrifice one planet to save a starfield?
@@frankjager2420 actually its not really which of the two scenarios are more good for the environment. If we go with that, then the death of a type 2 civilization without a doubt would be good for the environment, as they literally siphon all planets they could get their hands on for resources..

At this point, humanity no longer concerns itself with the environment as they are capable of living without any regard for it. They have the technology to do so. The only reason why our current society concern ourselves with all these environmental agendas is due to our nature of self preservation, if you take away that problem then there would be no reason to concern ourselves about it. In AC6, they no longer live in one single planet where the threat of environmental abuse could wipe out humanity. They only concern themselves with how they would move forward. To the eyes of those living in a type 2 civilization, the war that took place in Rubicon is something insignificant. Profitable yes, because of the energy it possess, but insignificant because they could just look for a new planet for resources. This was made evident when the PCA declared Rubicon as a dead planet at the Fires of Raven story.

So the real question is whether you are willing to gamble with Ayre at the risk of wiping all of humanity, or are you going to side with Walter to protect humanity from being potentially wiped out from the threat of coral.
@@user-yi3wt7ve6h They werent real clear as to what the Coral could actually provide, at least in my opinion. Is it an energy source? Absolutely. Obviously in this world, fossil fuels have been used up at this point, and nuclear energy has probably run dry by now, who knows, but I personally would love to have a more in depth detail of this particular world this game revolves around in. What if humanity actually needed this energy source to survive and keep going? Sure, its definitely a risk. But so is nuclear power today. Chernobyl is a result of a huge drawback of tapping into long lasting energy, highly risky. Coral is an energy source that seems to last longer, and go further than that. What if the planets that humans do live on, are exhausting energy resources, because of the limited resources, and coral was the actual answer man kind needed to survive? Sure, like I said, its highly risky, but what if it was truly necessary to help mankind keep going, instead of going extinct? The story is so far into the future that I dont know if humans could use their primal instincts to survive anymore. Also, how many worlds were Terraformed so it could be inhabitable so humans can go on, and Coral was the best energy for such a task? These are questions that definitely wont be easily answered, imo anyways, just because of the brief descriptions this story offers.
Also please excuse the delay in the response. Since you offer well thought out ideas, I wanted to try and return it
@@frankjager2420 but the thing is that, coexisting with coral would mean not using them as fuel. Ayre really hates the idea of coral being used as fuel (she was deeply apalled by it, as seen on the C spider fight). So in actuality, humanity will get no benefit if 621 sided with coral besides maybe cultivating mealworms for the RLF, but even that in itself isn't true symbiosis. The reason why Dolmayan and Seria (his own version of Ayre) got to the conclusion of pursuing coral release was because coral was still being consumed (albeit in a smaller scale compared to what institute did in the past), but Dolmayan backed out, because he knew that humanity would be wiped out, I am not sure to what extent does Dolmayan know but i believe that they would have to undergo the process of something similar to augmentation, and not everyone will survive such process.If such event were to occur, can humanity still be considered human or are they coral? If they were to become a techno-organic consciousness, wouldn't it mean that humanity would cease to exist?
Stop putting spoilers in the damn title. Instant dislike
Stop watchinv YT
@@LilyBeta that's a dumb and enabling response
This game is poop
Ok.
Ok.
You are
Waltuh let's cook coral dust instead waltuh
