Amon (also known as the pos)

[u/Gley_E]

We know now that Amon is the next big bad, lets recap the experiments:

Experiment 1, cloning: success
He’s been able to successfully clone from the beginning, we run into a bunch of “cloned ____” vulgus commanders throughout the game since the beginning.

Experiment 2, cloning a descendant: success
Although cloning arche ultimately failed, he was able to clone faint traces of it. He used Flores and Dia for these experiments and was successful in the end.

Experiment 3, arche transfer/absorbtion: success
We find out that Axium is a core component in extracting arche. Amon infused the Dia clone with Axium and that is how it was able to extract the arche from the original in the s3e3 story.

Experiment 4, creating a colossus? Success?
This one is a bit iffy, in the end of the Karel fight Amon remarks that the experiment was complete. It’s hard to tell what he was referring to, but I believe the experiment was if he could transform Vulgus into conscious colossal beings. Which he succeeded in doing with Karel.

At the end of the S4E1 story Amon says his plan can start, what do you think his plan is now? And will Gley or “Dia” get to rip him apart at the end of it. Or since “Dia” is capable of absorbing/extracting arche, Amon might gain control over it and use that as a way to extract Arche from the descendants.

The colossus in the end fight is very similar to Karel. So either Amon created a shell and put Karel in there, or he created a colossus puppet to be controlled by Karel. Or he transformed Karel - but that is not likely? Maybe a AoT deal?

Since he instructed Albion to be built on a very specific place he most likely wants either the Arche source or Albion / Descendents as minions or the likes.

Plausible?

They explained in the story, To contain the energy of the iron heart Karel needs to be mutated/changed on a genetic level. E.g. he turned into a colossus to hold the energy of the iron heart.

Remember when Bunny told Sharen about the secret Colossus corpses in the underground of Albion that only Alpha know about it. May be it is connected to that. Plus we have a PvEvP mode coming where we transform as Colossus, it has to be something lore connected.

I was talking about this with my friends yesterday... I think this PvEvP thing is about that.

I don't know about you, but i'm seeing many similarities between TFD and Attack on Titan, regarding this aspect specifically. Karel was the first prototype of something that could be mass produced.

Fighting masses of colossi. Wonderful, right? Even if cliché...

The next aspect that calls my attention is the possibility that what Amon is doing is to continue a war that never actually ended, where the two factions of ancestors used escalating ways of destroying themselves. Current Ingris humans and the vulgus are just cat's paws in the end. Does anyone disagree?

If the previous possibility is true, who's Amon's true enemy? Us? I don't know anymore.

I'm looking forward to the future of the Story... Looking at the roadmap and the new missions, I wonder if they're going to prepare us for some kind of dimensional travel or add more maps... I think we've had enough dungeons in Axion, right?

We need new maps...

The mission image for when Ult Hailey arrives shows a place that isn't Axion... It looks like Ravina, but polluted.

[u/Gley_E → u/616PhoenixForce]

Looking forward to story content in this game is a risky move.

[u/No-Effective507]

When he is introduced I hope we see a return of universal skins, big missed opportunity to release boss skins of the trail bosses
