Remember too that the Rusalki language "Vykhyan" itself seems to be the Russian language that has drifted and changed over what could be centuries (Time flows differently in and beyond the Breach!)įorgive anything wrong in all that. My guess, since in another note it is said that the Kazakhs returned from somewhere looking completely different, Drushka and her companions have been SERIOUSLY altered by their time in the Emergence (Sudra? Has to be! Same music (well, remixed a bit anyway) from Absu in the original game, same creatures, save for that giant machine that looks like some sort of "proto-rusalki" - water machine?). I don't remember what Drushka said her real name was, but it was Russian, implying she was from the Kazakh camp. That's some heavy lean-in to perhaps calling herself Ophelia later on. Indra meets Drushka in the Emergence, then returns in the end and recognizes she is "something else" now. Gloria At It Again" Indra is asked about her interest in Shakespare in an interview. This could partially redeem Athetos in AV1, as his actual motivations may have been to keep the Rusalki out of A'Anaur even at a genocidal cost.īut anyway, looking at the photographic evidence, there is zero doubt left for me that she is Ophelia. That's the whole point of why they use Trace in AV1 - short term, they need him to get rid of the original PatternMind (Athetos), but long-term he's just a tool to go further upstream. In AV1, it's likely that the greater parts of Athetos' motivations - the stuff he can't tell you about because Elsenova will kill you before his boss fight in AV1 - is exactly what Indra says at the end of AV2. Sudra is just a pit stop, and they ironically become just like Lamassu to the Sudrans. Here's something the ending of AV2 establishes: The Rusalki want to go past Sudra and get the tech at A'Anaur (or however the further upstream dimension is spelled). I'm thinking the Kazakh becomes Elsenova. The face at the credits of AV2 seals it - she's identical to Ophelia's look and pose in AV1. I think the writing on the wall is pretty clear here, but for anybody who has 100%, are there any more details to this theory? Just beat it five minutes ago.Įdit: Nope, nope, nope. Maybe the body she eventually finds for Danu is another Rusalka? It's all just too similar to brush off. What are you using for most of AV2? Drones and nanites. How do the Rusalka operate in AV1? Drones (identical to Indra's) and nanites. On top of that, what is a Rusalka? A "water spirit" in real life Slavic folklore, responsible for luring people into the water and drowning them, or as Elsenoca puts it in AV1, a "water machine." How does Indra first lose her humanity? She is lured into the water, drowns, and becomes a sentient colony of nanites - a machine. This game seems to take place between Trace's original visit to Sudra and the birth of the "final Trace" that we play as in AV1, judging by certain memos, so the timing fits, especially with the transdimensional stuff going on. Her second body sure has an Elsenova looking head (tendrils), and she is now set on going to Sudra. I just beat the game for the first time (only 75% items and 91% map, so probably missed the golden end if it's like AV1).Īt the end, Indra renounces her old identity, saying she's "something else." And she just happens to join forces with an Eastern European transhumanist.
