HojMcFoj Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (Sorry if this has already been made or goes somewhere else, I'm a bit new to posting) Do you have any theories for the lore of RoT? I've brushed up on some of the stuff that has to do with "Them" and all the stuff about the moon and the caves, so I'm really interested to what's next. In the 2021 Roadmap post, they revealed a new structure(?) that had to do with the lunar island, which I'm very interested in. I can't wait to see how the Lunar grotto, Lunar island, and the Archives all tie together. The Lunar grotto is most interesting to me because I'm not sure if this is already revealed but, how did a piece of the moon reach the caves?? And one more very small thing that I love, maybe everyone has realized this idk but since the lunar island/grotto came from the moon, in the moon icon on the day counter there is now a little chunk missing from it.

QuartzBeam Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The Lunar Grotto is not a piece of the moon. It's a part of the regular Blue Mushtree Forest. The moon chunk that became the Lunar Island crashed right on top of it and the resulting cracks in the ceiling have spilled lunar magic-infused water into that section of the mushtree forest, mutating that particular area into the grotto. ( The Archives are older than the regular ruins and where sealed away for unknown reasons. From the looks of it though, the Ancients once worshipped the Moon, before something happened that led them to seal the archives away and turn to Nightmare Fuel.

Thank you, that makes so much more sense! I feel a bit dumb now, I'm now remembering the whole "it seems the water has changed the area" quote.

I'm hoping the new structure is a portal to a location on the moon. I love exploring the ruins and I really want another similar biome. A place with moon gems, structures, mobs, items, etc. Or mayne it will be a beam that breaks off another chunks, haha. The more moon stuf the better, I say!

I find this hilarious, right after I made this post I went back to look at the leaked image again and wondered "Maybe its some sort of portal to the moon you can jump through", glad I'm not the only one with a similar idea Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/128214-theorys-for-rot/#findComment-1440725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved The Gorge with all my heart and would kill to play it again (on PS4 so no mods), and I feel teased by the new Wurt skin.

RenTheCat Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Quote Do you have any theories for the lore of RoT? I don't think Klei has the balls to make Charlie evil so this whole thing of her sending us to fight all the enemies of "Them" and the nightmare throne, like the pigs in the Forge, giving a snicker to the Gnaw so he calms down and now fighting moon creatures is all an elaborated plot to make the survivors stronger and get "Them" distracted so they can be killed in the future. Game's story will probably end up with all the survivors being sent home and Charlie staying in the constant. Not that the game will actually get any progress in the story at this pace, 7 years and they "still haven't told us yet" Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/128214-theorys-for-rot/#findComment-1441093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
