[Music] what's going on everybody mortum here this time bringing you a video on how to unlock the swarm that walks mythic path so couple things to get out of the way real quick while i know the initial mechanics for the swarm i do not have access to the full list of mechanics so to speak with the review build that i was given and allowed to make content out of so i think they wanted to kind of be a surprise of course but i do know the initial mechanics that are given to you as well as again how to unlock the actual mythic path i do want to give a word of warning right at the beginning of this video on two things one gonna be some spoilers for some of the plot nothing big gonna try to keep it to an absolute minimum however swarm that walks is easily the most difficult path to unlock and it requires you to make certain choices that won't even seem to have anything to do with the path itself and thus i have to explain the second warning is that choosing swarm that walks will make your entire party leave you every single companion will leave you if you become the storm that walks every single one of them this is offset by the swarm that walks mythic path mechanics of course and i can actually see that in the initial offering of those mechanics so i know it's addressed of course but just keep in mind all of your companions will leave so with that out of the way let's jump right into this now the first choice you need to make to get this mythic path to work is not something you would initially realize is even related and that is in act 2 when your army begins its march you have the option of persuading queen galfrey to come with you in order to unlock the swarm she cannot come with you because she prevents you from doing something i'm about to explain and not doing it will lock you out of the path thus bringing queen gal free with you in act 2 is a no go for this mythic path now what is that in act 2 in a place called leper's smile you will be accosted by demon bugs called vescovores at a place called leper's smile you'll resolve this situation by killing their queen and these vescavors work off of a pheromone system so to speak and that's how they're attracted to things and this is a revelation you'll have while you're talking after defeating the queen in order to continue on this path you need to have your military like fill a bucket basically of these pheromones and take it with you for the march on dresden when you get to dresden you need to use the vescovore pheromones to have vescavores swarm the city as part of your siege this is an incredibly evil thing to do you'll get a lot of soldiers killed queen galfrey will outright prevent you from doing this if she is with you she will not let you do it it is not an option if she is with you thus she cannot come with you because this is mandatory after the siege you'll be given a small side quest to track down what happened to the vesqvoirs in a house on the south side of dresden you'll be able to find what's left of their swarm you'll find a few vesqvivor swarms that you'll need to kill as well as a fledgling vescavor queen do not kill this queen if you kill it thus ridding dresden of the vesicors you've locked yourself out of the path already so let the queen live after you clear out the house the side quest itself will complete upon you finding the queen you do not have to kill it for any reason and you should absolutely not if you want to unlock this mythic path now that's only the first half because there's an entirely separate thing we need to do and that is meet an actual swarm that walks this takes the form of a boss that is mandatory he is part of the main story he is unmissable his name is zanthir the plagued one or zanthir vang zanthir is a swarm that walks you'll have an option after fighting him to talk to him and you can ask him about how he became what he is he'll basically tell you that if you want to be what he is you're going to have to put in the work like he did now lucky for you he says he has notes around here somewhere that you might be able to read but beyond that he's not going to help you and you're forced to kill him no matter what happens here at this point that conversation by itself is not enough you then have to loot his journal or his apprentices journal which are in the room with him you need to read those journals after doing so you'll see a little pop-up above your head that says you've learned something from this book this actually gives you a crusade management task called zanthir's experiments where basically you will recreate his experiments again very harsh thing evil thing to do people will not like you for this after doing this actually after completing that task anivia which is one of your advisors will come up and basically warn you that doing this will cause everyone to leave you which is true but it's just a little foreshadowing now that is what you have to do so far that is all you can do before act four which is where the game progresses after this there's nothing else you can do to recap brought the vesqvoirs to drezin used them did not kill their queen learned about zanthir's research as well as completed the research task you have to do all of those before act four now once you progress the game you're going to find yourself back in dresden at the beginning of act five immediately upon entering dresen you'll be given this dialogue if you let the queen live and basically you'll be given an errand to hunt down the now fully grown up queen that is still in dresden it's in the same house you just have to go fight it now if you fight it and you did not do zanthir's research you won't know what to do with the queen however if you did xanthe's research the correct answer as the dialogue will tell you is to eat the queen which is super gross and as long as you've eaten the queen you're good to go at this point you can proceed with the rest of the story and then at mythic rank 8 you will be given the option to become the swarm that walks easily the most complicated unlock of every single mythic path that said again a small warning if you become the swarm that walks everyone turns on you except for instance the hordes of people who may or may not worship a certain locust lord there you go guys there's all the information on how to unlock the swarm that walks the initial mechanics make use of you managing the size of your swarm as well as creating clones of yourself which will have all of the abilities you do again i don't have the full list of mechanics to go over with you guys but i feel like everyone probably gets the gist from this about just how this will actually work there you go guys a much much asked about mythic path i had to put in a ton of work to figure this out by the way so i really hope you guys enjoy it if you did please remember to like comment subscribe all that youtube jazz but truly regardless of any of that though thank you so much for watching may you wander in wisdom and have an amazing day [Music] you
