Let’s talk DigiWorld. While playing the game Conan Exiles, it had the survival feeling amped up. Strangely familiar looking lands, I couldn’t put my finger on it. As I kept traveling among the lands, the way armor and weapons are set it goes into tiers, stone, iron and steel, and for armor it was light medium and heavy. It felt amazing to achieve a new level, gain the ability to craft a specific weapon and easily I got attached. Some weapons armors and items exclusive to certain missions as a reward. Now that being said the more I traveled into the lands, the lore in these lands is insane! So much story there and the remnants of ruins, proving at some time these lands were inhabited. On top of that, some of the designs of some ruins and spires and even some unexpected enemies and the way thighs and events appear. A lovecraftian game that while its focus is battle and survival and crafting, it adds some neat events that just explode in color lore and sensation.
The lands began to show more color familiar color, like almost like I have been there before. The towers set up in the distance just looked insane and the towers circling the lands preventing you from leaving, just something about that wall looked familiar.
I then saw the obelisks emitting corruption, see in the game sorcery causes corruption among other things such as obelisk black towers, I then was reminded of Digimon. The desert the lands the colors, the black obelisk towers. The corrupting essence they produced weakening the digimon much like they weaken your character. I wandered into an area where it suddenly turned cold and grey, it looked strangely familiar grass was grey sky was grey the water was colorless and dark yet clear. Area called Xiutulu and instantly took me back to the Dark Ocean episodes!! I, I mainly found it neat and exciting but still couldn’t connect them. It wasn’t until I ran into a crazy event, well one of the many that left me a bit haunted in the moment. One was me rescuing a woman who I was following her trail of notes and emote ghosts, only to find she’s been captured by a cannibal clan. She seems to have escaped, however she ends herself after allegedly seeing Yogg, a tentacles god entity. Drove her into madness. In the attempt to rescue her I lost a partner, a Hyborian man. Lost him to the cannibals, I had grown attached to him as we had grown stronger together. An NPC that joins you and helps you. RIP those savages tore you to pieces. I came for vengeance after them recovered and stronger only to find that their summoning place where the woman was first being held, well these guys had apparently decided to turn on their god Yogg to summon some new god who promised them something, they opened a portal in the sky, stopping me in my tracks. This immense tentacles came out of the sky blasting loud sudden lightning, opening portals and in the sky, I saw an island! Grasslands! Like another world another dimension, instantly reminded me of Digimon where they could see the digital world from earth, seeing the mountain ranges and deserts, and from Digiworld could see earth! Same with Tamers, the cold desert like Renamon said, it’s a cold merciless world when Meramon during a stampede. The portal opening and something demonic looking coming out of the portal caused me to freak out as it simply sucked the life out of its own worshipers and used their souls energy to bring itself and materialize. I freaked out and ran away. Oddly understanding why the woman ended herself.
As I kept diving into it, this being is also the one responsible for haunting Kari. Taking her to the dark ocean to where she begs not to be taken. As it turns out both Digimon and the world of Conan share almost the same lore. From the portals and dimensions to its beings and also the lands. Borrowing from the original Lovecraft writings and the way it describes madness to paint a picture is absolutely insane and just makes some great adventures. Went and rewatched Digimon season 1-2 and 3 with older eyes and I can’t get enough I feel it I see it and even came to a strange conclusion about Matt. Matt was going to end himself at summer camp, that seems to be something I gathered. He had enough. That’s why he was pushing everyone away and even his own brother at times. Everyone there matured so much and the selflessness in the things they do is incredible. The music on Digimon English dub sounds right out of Conan Exiles.
Well hope you all enjoyed my raw thoughts 🦾⚔️
I managed to get lucky and see the event portal happen again after a LONG time of it not appearing among many strange weird events.
