That was genuinely one of the best 3 hours I've spent listening to a video in the background, love how you covered literally everything in detail and you have timestamps for it too. You're the real deal.
Bro worked hard on this and it shows. While it not get the millions of views it deserves right away, like he said this is a timeless video and will get the appreciation over the years.
The fact you literally explain all of the gears of war questions I’ve had since I started playing this game 11 years ago I play it to this day thank you
He was right when he said this was a lore movie that we can enjoy for years to come, it’s almost been a year when writing this and yup, still enjoying it
I always played games for the lore and story thank you for a full recap. I loved Mass Effect, Dead Space, Halo and Gears lore especially. Makes you see the game’s differently when you play.
Armored Kantus are my favorite locust species variant. I think I would be cool to have a short story comic about that squad that was with the queen. Like following them after scourge's death trying to prove to the queen that the kantus were still worthy as protectors to the queen.
The thing I never really understood was that a lot of the stuff you find in the hollow in G2 is described as “ancient” which indicates that the locust have been down there for a very very long time. Yet it seems that, at the very oldest, the locust have only been down there for 80 years. And that’s the oldest the horde could be as Myra took her people down there sometime during the pendulum wars. So the odds are their society is younger than 80 years old on E-Day. Then how are there “ancient” scrolls talking of the locust faith or other facts? I mean idk about y’all but I wouldn’t describe 50 years ago as “ancient times”. I swear in heard abz claim that the Kantus class has already been living down there for centuries before Myra brought her horde down into the hollow. But I can’t find annnnywhwre in writing that the Kantus were the original sentient inhabitants of the Hollow. If I missed something obvious I’m sure someone will set me straight.
Yeah exactly so this is why I think Tc messed up on some of the lore. Hence why in my Nexus lore section I spoke about why I think they should tweak the lore a little to make more sense by making the Kantus an ancient species - who lived in the hollow and had the ancient Kantus scrolls. They researched and studied the hollows, riftworms etc. We don’t know the exact origins of the Kantus, I did say in one of my videos that they are an ancient species but that was a misstep by me. It’s just a theory but IMO it should be canon as it allows the lore to make more sense with the origins of the Kantus and Nexus. Sorry for any confusion, thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I agree with ya. I like the irony of the COG engineering their own downfall via the Locust. But it doesn’t fit the timeline if the horde was the only sentient creatures to ever inhabit the Hollow. I really like the idea that the Kantus had been living deep in the inner Hollow and that there was a joining of forces between the horde and the Kantus who had already been living down there for centuries. It also fits the references to ancient tales of boogey men stealing children that are talked about by characters in the books. Your idea about the Kantus might not be “cannon” but I think that it fits the presented story better than having the horde build a massive complex society in less than 60 years. If there was already a race living down there then it would be a better plot point as they would have already had a religion, structures, and culture. The horde doesn’t come up with it on their own. They instead adopt that culture. And it could also lead to some cool locust stories were maybe the older locust are a bit more wary of the Trinity of worms cause they weren’t born into it, while the younger generations believe whole heartedly in the faith as they were born into it. That could lead to some good stories reconciling around the different generations. But yeah all in all I think you are right. The collation got so focused on the “COG plays God and gets everyone killed” part of the lore that they forgot all of the hints given in gears 2 about the locust being ancient inhabitants of the Hollow. Preciate the response man! Keep up the good work!
probably not accurate as im new to the series of games. never really owning an xbox back in the day. i basically only played the first game for like 2hrs. but it could be that ancients could be defined as the ancient purely based on life expectancy. the drones dont seem to live long. and the ideals could be pushed as ancient for propaganda reasons. like if you lived 10 years to fight the cog and you were likely to die in battle around that time. 8 generations could be very well referred to as ancient. just a thought i had, probably not the reasoning. but interesting for myself to think
@@KingAbzTV Okay, here's my take on that. -The Kantus are descendents of humans who were exposed to imulsion long ago and through natural selection over the eons evolved into the modern Kantus. Essentially going through the creation of the Locust the long way through natural evolution. -Niles still attempts to use the genes of hollow creatures to improve the Sires but the results were failures until he started using Kantus DNA. Since the Kantus are technically humans themselves are more genetically compatible. -For this process to proceed a number of live Kantus were captured a brought to the Lake Laboratory for study. Here young Myrrah would interact with these Kantus and would accidentally establish a simple form of the Hive mind. This and further interactions would lead to the Kantus seeing Myrrah as a form of Messiah from a prophecy. After the birth of the drones, and fully establishing the Hive mind, Myrrah and the Kantus would pass on the Kantus religion on the fledgling Locust. When the time was right the Newly established Locust horde escaped, taking shelter in the Hollow. - The Kantus in the Hollow before all this were not in the best state. They were far from a untied force by any means, their technology was very primitive, and they were having troubles regarding sterility and inbreeding all in the very dangerous environment that is the Hollow. Basically they were on the brink of extinction, their only solace is their religion of the Trinity of Worms. -With arrival of Myrrah and Locust horde changed everything. The Hive mind under Myrrah's motherly guidance finally brings a sense of unity and stability, the knowledge from the surface allows for the eventual construction of things like Nexus, being built on top of Kantus architecture, and the presence of biologically compatible drones fixes many of previously mentioned biological issues thus leading to a giant population explosion among the Locusts. What do you guys think of my take?
Fun fact: the Kantus are an ancient species, they were always down there which is why they had a whole civilization down in the hollow. The Locust Drones just found them when they went deeper and took the Kantus into the horde
My uncle recently moved away and gave me his Xbox and I've been playing all the years of war games and it's so good. Finally learning the lore of one of my favorite childhood games. Been playing the Gears of War series since I was about 7 or 8 right after Gears of War 2 was released
Ok that Theron guard from RAAMS shadows is my favorite of the locusts. He looks like he'd be on the locusts council or have a much more important role. And the dude has a sawed off shotgun with a bayonet!!!! Just a complete badass. I also feel like with his black armor, bayonet and other Theron specifc weapons he could've been the locusts top assassin going far behind enemy lines and specifically killing COG leaders.
Abz was so right. He accurately predicted people would begin running to this video in about a year or two and sure enough, two years later, here people are. Amazing foresight on your part. Way to play the long game, my guy.
@@familyneves9777 the Scions are Regular Drones that were covered covered in imulsion cacoons after Marcus you know and are not covered in imulsion crystals so yeah they would see them as the regular swarm as Brothers
This one of the bests lore of GOW ever man, props to you for that!!!!! Would be cool if you made a similar lore for every gear and UIR type including their heroes and ranks and stuff!!! Keep up the good job
Longest vid I have watched was like a hour this I three and I absolutely love it and thank u so much for making lore vids on one of the best gaming franchise your the best gears of war channel
I truly appreciate your time & level of effort you put into creating this. I can absolutely tell you love this art, and as from someone who hasn't ever played this, I certainly will thanks to you. 👏🏼
My favorite gears of war memory is a saturday back when i was freshman in highschool, my buddy and i got on XBL and decided to co-op the game on insane mode and not stop till we finished. Solid 10 hours, the good old days
The deadliest of the locust were the armored kantus, Theron elite, and ravager this movie is a good collection info on the locust, but I am still dying for some Swarm lore, and I am sure that your loyal viewers can’t wait a year for gears of war 6 to be released!
I find it strange that the Queen was totally grey in gears of war 2, but in 3 she was human as could be. Like as if we didn't notice her change physically entirely.
this video is 2 years old but thank you so much for making it ❤, my brother and i grew up playing all the games as they came out but were too young back in the day to understand any of the lore 😂😂 my brothers been in a tough patch and been going through alot of domestic violence and depression, on the rare occasion i get to see him i love explaining all the lore of our childhood memory games to him and seeing him laugh and smile even if it’s just for a second about it, thank you a lot bro
I'm just working myself through the whole thing and love every minute of it. New sub and the like is well deserved! Looking forward to your other videos!
G1-3 ate great my first was Gears 2 and just is a amazing game and such a awesome story... also thxs for this vid Who didn't feel motivated with the speech of Gears of Wars 2
Im so happy to see such a detailed video that focuses on the locus history vs some video that just glances over the topic Yet i keep finding it odd that certain parts of the script is repeated a few times. I kept thinking my old phone was replaying the video back🤣
I’ve put some thought into it and I think imulsion was once just fuel, but with the creation of the lightmas bomb (which is basically GOW version of a nuke) it involved radiation and mutated the imulsion and created the lambent.
I can't believe what i'm seeing😲, the "Ultimate Gears of War Lore Video" and Over 3 Hours...i'm just Buffed by that, i'm...just Wow, let's just say, i love it, i always wanted to know how Nexus was build, that's just a Dream Video for every Gears of War Fan, just thanks😄
I don’t understand why we didn’t get a game with Dom as the lead in the jungle fighting the reds as a commando… instead they chose to destroy everything with Kait.
I wonder if the COG ever captured drones or locust and tortured or tried to interrogate them. Would be cool to see or if it ever happens, cover it in a video.
You breathe emulsion but your trying to stay away from it....shows you how bright the kantus are......Drones and Grenadiers might be the smart ones after all
@KingAbz Can you make a lore video on Niles Samson please? I want to know everything about him from start to end.. there's a lot missing i don't know as iv not read the comics and like most people iv only played the games... it would be a great lore video plus you make great in-depth videos.
I wish the coalition would give us more answers. Like where the kantus came from and if the scientists had the dna from them that gave birth to the locust. But the kantus originating from the hollow would also make sense considering the locust cities, temples, their scripts, and their ability to communicate with hollow creatures
If each of the rift worms are different and the hollow got flooded they could be a type that thrive underwater. Or one was an earth worm (the one on gow 2) one is more of a snake that's under the sea in a underwater river, and one is a caterpillar type and it's on the surface buried under a mountain or canyon/ravine yet to be discovered.
Ukkon probably knew how to cure the lambent, I’m guessing he hated humans for experimenting on him so he sought to do the same and destroy them in the end. Maybe what he saw as a malformed body at first soon turned to thoughts of a superior form. And from that spawned his wish to truly create a kind of his own
Oh so basically what your saying is the Theron and Palace Guards voices sound like that is because they are basically the grandpa's of the Drones and the Grenadiers 1:55:26
I just realised. . . When we first saw the swarm or the drone imago, he came out of some pod like hole. In gears 4 and 5, you will encounter these sometimes. I just realized they act similar or are like E-Holes like th e locust use.
@jaggidfire who was hybridized exactly? I've seen the video, but was it the sires or the other test subjects? Also did the matriarch reproduce asexually?
@@Snoozytube eventually one girl in particular would exhibit a genetic immunity to the eugenic effects of the emulsion which piqued the scientists curiosity this girl would be known as mura who would then later go on to become queen mira the leader of the horde she would have her embryonic stem cells combined with the dna of the sires this combination of animalistic sire and the stability brought on by her genetics would result in a hominid creature known as the drone drones were fiercely loyal to meera and ultimately she viewed them as her children as they were by definition related to her however she wouldn't immediately lead them into battle against humanity instead after forming a relationship with a scientist that resulted in the birth of reina which she was an adult might i add reina was then taken away and the father would tell mira that she was actually ended in an escape attempt because of this she would turn on everyone in the facility and the entire place would be frozen down in the heat of battle but mira would escape with a large amount of locust drones descending deeper into the mountain she would eventually happen upon the hollow with her drones the drones were able to reproduce and eventually others would join her and the horde creating more monsters which become more powerful than just drones seeing as there are female drones and male drones a race would be created with mira controlling all of them at the very top humans would be kidnapped and processed for decades prior to emergence day and then turned into drones hellbent on serving the queen the issue is however being down in the hollow while mira was immune to the emulsion her children still suffered issues and a lamincy pandemic began to erupt which were uncontrollable forms of locusts who'd been taken over by the parasitic emulsion turning to adam
It never made sense to me how the Drones in stasis weren't affected by the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon. Surely if they were safe under the ice and in stasis, then it would be totally possible for other Locust to survive unaffected in other parts of the Hollow under Sera that would not have been completely flooded.
NGL I would love a Non-canon game in which we just fight a shit ton of various locust. Everything from Sires, Locust Hybrids, Disciples and Zealots all the way up to Gears 3 Lambent.
There was comic that explained that. A squad of therons(or regular drones. It's been a while) actually swam underneath the artificial storm with the objective to deactivate the machine powering the storm(how they knew about it, I don't remember). They were all killed but still managed to complete their mission and gave the queens guard the window they needed to lay seige to the island.

@@KingAbzTVthey seriously ruined the story when they made gears of war 4
The fact you literally explain all of the gears of war questions I’ve had since I started playing this game 11 years ago I play it to this day thank you
Back in the prime of gears of war 3 it was so hard to find lore videos about the locust let alone a whole movie about it
The 7 Secrets of Success:
HUNGER
BOOM
GRIND
BURN
CHARGE
POUND
DIG
He was right when he said this was a lore movie that we can enjoy for years to come, it’s almost been a year when writing this and yup, still enjoying it
I think its pretty cool how you went into depth into the religion and back ground of the locust horde

Definitely! The Gears lore is amazing! Just like the other franchises you mentioned
Still to this day I think the locust are a badass sci-fi enemy to fight in this series
*FOR QUEEN.*
I was so scared of them as a kid.
I remember having trouble falling asleep, because what if an E-hole would appear in my room😂
@@remyrichardson8614are you a locust or a brit or are they the same who knows

Great video Abz!!!! Your deserve all the views and them some! Keep it up man!!!
Thank you that’s really kind of you!
Thank you so much for your time and effort invested in this lore
Thank you Brandon, my pleasure sir
Growing up, the Kantus always looked so cool to me.
Yes absolutely been waiting for something like this vid
🙏💙
THANK YOU BRO, IVE ALWAYS HAD SOOOO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE GUYS
You’re welcome 🫡
You breathe emulsion but your trying to stay away from it....shows you how bright the kantus are......Drones and Grenadiers might be the smart ones after all
Kantus are native to the hollow, they were there 1000s of years before Myrra and the Locust. They're completely immune.
You have most certainly made your mark. This is such a dense collection of information.
This is awesome Gears of war was a big part of my childhood
I've watched this 3 times and here I am again lol
I’m glad you enjoy it as much as I do 😁
Damn three hours?
This will last me for a couple days
This vid is so amazing I’ve been wanting for some one to do something like this your the king of lore
I'm glad you like it my friend, enjoy!
Always loved this game as a kid
Love the video brother keep it up i love this deep dive into gears Lore i refresh myself sometimes on this video
Thank you bro! I’ll be creating more lore videos in the near future so stay tuned!
Amazing job dude. Never once got bored i was constantly captivated. . Lore videos are the best
Thank you that means a lot, glad you enjoyed it!
Why do I get the feeling the locust used the leech locust as condoms similar to how humans used goat intestines as condoms?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Wheeere is my miiind?
Do we know if the Locust Sleeps 🛌 and play sports 🏈 ????
Hopefully the swarm I gears 6 has locust vibes the horror grit and brutality this is what gears was all about 🙏🏿
@KingAbz Can you make a lore video on Niles Samson please? I want to know everything about him from start to end.. there's a lot missing i don't know as iv not read the comics and like most people iv only played the games... it would be a great lore video plus you make great in-depth videos.
IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!!! YES!!
ENJOY!!
Thankyou this is incredible and interesting i will keep watching untill i get through it and a few times 😃🙏
Much appreciated Stubz!!
I wish the coalition would give us more answers. Like where the kantus came from and if the scientists had the dna from them that gave birth to the locust. But the kantus originating from the hollow would also make sense considering the locust cities, temples, their scripts, and their ability to communicate with hollow creatures
Why was myra in the new hope facility if she's immune to the effects of immuslion
Elite locust army poggin rn. Cool vid
If each of the rift worms are different and the hollow got flooded they could be a type that thrive underwater. Or one was an earth worm (the one on gow 2) one is more of a snake that's under the sea in a underwater river, and one is a caterpillar type and it's on the surface buried under a mountain or canyon/ravine yet to be discovered.
Ukkon probably knew how to cure the lambent, I’m guessing he hated humans for experimenting on him so he sought to do the same and destroy them in the end. Maybe what he saw as a malformed body at first soon turned to thoughts of a superior form. And from that spawned his wish to truly create a kind of his own
Love this bro! Gonna send it to some friends!
Much appreciated brother! 💙
I just subbed love your details and how you descripe and cover each thing keep doing videos your really good with them
Bro I can’t lie, I love your videos mannnn
Thank you Ryan bro! It means a lot! I’ve got lots of great videos planned so stay tuned!
i will not get sick of gears of war loved it as a lil boy playing it on xbox360
Oh so basically what your saying is the Theron and Palace Guards voices sound like that is because they are basically the grandpa's of the Drones and the Grenadiers 1:55:26
I just realised. . . When we first saw the swarm or the drone imago, he came out of some pod like hole. In gears 4 and 5, you will encounter these sometimes. I just realized they act similar or are like E-Holes like th e locust use.
Gears of War Forever! ⚙️💀🩸❤️🔥
Commenting to help the algorithm 🤙
Much appreciated 💙
Love it bro! This awesome😁👍
Thank you!!
Did you say Myrrah was bred with the Sires? Because she absolutely wasn’t. Niles only used her stem cells
Bred as in hybridized, not bred as in mated with.
@jaggidfire who was hybridized exactly? I've seen the video, but was it the sires or the other test subjects? Also did the matriarch reproduce asexually?
@@Snoozytubemyrrah cells+cancer kids
@@SnoozytubeThe Berserkers don't reproduce asexually so I don't think the Matriarch was either, but how THAT works I couldn't tell you
@@Snoozytube eventually one girl in particular would
exhibit a genetic immunity to the
eugenic effects of the emulsion which
piqued the scientists curiosity this
girl would be known as mura who would
then later go on to become queen mira
the leader of the horde she would have
her embryonic stem cells combined with
the dna of the sires this combination of
animalistic sire and the stability
brought on by her genetics would result
in a hominid creature known as the drone
drones were fiercely loyal to meera and
ultimately she viewed them as her
children as they were by definition
related to her however she wouldn't
immediately lead them into battle
against humanity instead after forming a
relationship with a scientist that
resulted in the birth of reina which she
was an adult might i add reina was then
taken away and the father would tell
mira that she was actually ended in an
escape attempt because of this she would
turn on everyone in the facility and the
entire place would be frozen down in the
heat of battle but mira would escape
with a large amount of locust drones
descending deeper into the mountain she
would eventually happen upon the hollow
with her drones the drones were able to
reproduce and eventually others would
join her and the horde creating more
monsters which become more powerful than
just drones seeing as there are female
drones and male drones a race would be
created with mira controlling all of
them at the very top humans would be
kidnapped and processed for decades
prior to emergence day and then turned
into drones hellbent on serving the
queen the issue is however being down in
the hollow while mira was immune to the
emulsion her children still suffered
issues and a lamincy pandemic began to
erupt which were uncontrollable forms of
locusts who'd been taken over by the
parasitic emulsion turning to adam
Loved it bro
Thank you bro, glad you enjoyed the vid 😄
Love the video bro, keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
I think ukkon was right on the cusp of a lambency cure, and was usung his disciples to test it but gabe killed him and his work before he could finish
It never made sense to me how the Drones in stasis weren't affected by the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon. Surely if they were safe under the ice and in stasis, then it would be totally possible for other Locust to survive unaffected in other parts of the Hollow under Sera that would not have been completely flooded.
Ukon was probably called patient zero because he was the first sire that kept his intelligence
If you take a shot Everytime the word "Locust" is said, you'll die of Alcohol poisoning...
😂😂
Only just found this but it’s class
Much appreciated Daniel thank you!
NGL I would love a Non-canon game in which we just fight a shit ton of various locust. Everything from Sires, Locust Hybrids, Disciples and Zealots all the way up to Gears 3 Lambent.
how did the locust get to Azura? as delta squad had to use a sub due to the artificial storm around the island
There was comic that explained that. A squad of therons(or regular drones. It's been a while) actually swam underneath the artificial storm with the objective to deactivate the machine powering the storm(how they knew about it, I don't remember). They were all killed but still managed to complete their mission and gave the queens guard the window they needed to lay seige to the island.
Good shi Abz🔥
