The Entire Lore of Inscryption Act 2

with less she defeated and trapped in a card we finally attained the ability to restart the game and learn the story of the four scribes basically the world didn't know anything about cards until four scribes appeared each with their own unique way of making them you'll notice some of their faces are quite similar to the cards we saw in act 1 meaning that they were effectively trapped by leshi and turned into beasts let's read on together Remora used her quill to inscribe the epitaphs of the Dead leshi used his wildlife camera to capture beasts Pier 3 used a particle scanner to copy the CPUs of robots and magnificus use this brush to paint his wizard pupils with the cards created the scribes had solidified their power until one day a challenger arrived to replace one of the scribes it's here we arrive at Fourth Stone monuments and can select the Scribe whose deck we wish to start off with growing through the scribes I decide to choose the one I'm most familiar with leshi and it's here where we begin our journey this is the entire law of inscription Act 2. foreign [Applause] [Music] the map opens up where each of the areas are representative of each of the scribes the bridge is being repaired and it's here we meet a person by the name of Rebecca I was surprised by this considering that Rebecca is in an entirely different game called the hex it's always been of interest to me as to what made her so important so as to have the ability to travel between games now a bit more detail the hex explored ideas of video game characters being sentient and actually treating the role of game characters as jobs in this case Rebecca is assigned to rebuild the bridge one of her dialogue options is however very interesting look you seem like a fine enough player so I'll fill you in a bit these scribes are crazy out here desperate struggle for power you know just stay out of it you don't want to end up like them this may explain why all the other scribes seem to be trapped in the cards leshi had somehow attained power for a brief moment before we managed to free everyone the question is how did he get into power in the first place and what is it that the scribes want we go into lesh's cabin where we see some familiar faces we took to leshi where he is far more antagonistic towards us he tells us to stop shaking and finds our attempt to replace him quite laughable he gives us a replica of his camera which we will use to make his subordinates fight us the only subordinate I can't seem to find in this area from act one is the Mycologist I wonder where he could be the gameplay here is very interesting throughout each of the areas we can earn card packs and are required to build our own deck anyways the subordinates refused to fight US unless we do a favor for them I unlocked the safe using the code we find outside and give it to the Hound the prospector refuses to fight US unless we have proof that his Hound is okay so using the meat to lure the dug in and taking a photo of her will give us a chance to fight him I build my deck and we start our first fight gameplay Works a bit differently where the Challenger you go up against has their own card hinting at the difficulty and play style depending on which deck you choose each of the scribes will explain to you how the deck works now the strangest thing about all of this is that leshie is about to explain to you how his cards work before recognizing that you understand how to play the game and decides not to teach you the basics this must mean that the game we are playing may have resulted in some memory loss of all the scribes this makes sense as the memory loss is described in act 1 by the stink bug when she says so strange why can't I remember his name I believe I lost some of my memory in the flash it could be that every reset describes memories are affected we beat the prospector quite easily before he allows us passage into his punt taking a photo of The Bait Bucket we can attach the bait to a fishing rod where we take a photo of a shark but if we move through this tiny Gap in the woods we see a photo of a person just above a candle this photo is connected to the ARG in case you're wondering the angular will see the photo and engage us in a battle I die the first time so I make the smart decision of upgrading my deck allowing us to beat him fairly quickly speaking to the angler he states he has to find fish for leshi he specifies that this isn't just any fish but rather a corrupted fish he wants what exactly is this corrupted fish lashes after does it have something to do for the attainment of power moving on we reach the woods where from a lucky card video we can actually find the wood carver to summarize everything she says not a lot of players visit her hinting that she's one of the few characters in game who can remember nearly all encounters even if the game is percent she speaks of something called the old data she refuses to speak about it as to know it is to Die the code itself is so evil that it even managed to corrupt the game of inscription perhaps explaining some of the more terrible things that happen later on in the game the scribes according to her also don't care for human life she refuses to elaborate any further on that point and we leave her to enjoy her Freedom Perhaps it is the old data itself that describes need in order to gain power we capture a rabbit using a trap where we take a picture of its Pelt giving this to the Trapper will engage Us in another fight he uses the burrowing trap which is a bit more difficult than the Leaping Frog as it will move in front of us each time we attack I managed to sacrifice a Frankenstein thus allowing my Grizzly to cause the remainder of the damage needed to win the round Leslie mentions our Final Duel required to replace him but before that we must beat him him in this fight he ominously states that his camera is waiting to capture our creatures at the moment of their demise I begin sacrificing some squirrels and he captures the costs stats and sigils all of which being almost non-existent fortunately for me my hand is filled with only squirrel cards which I happily sacrifice and put in the way of the opposing enemies thus beating him fairly quickly the light of leshi is then activated on one of The Monuments leaving three left leshi is quite disappointed that the fight was finished so quickly before he gives us a card pack po3 then enters the cabin he mocks slushy for losing and States it's no wonder we're back here again implying that he still has some memory of act 1 the Disco inscription was also apparently lost when leshi was put into Power the question Still Remains however how did Lester get put into power in the first place thus she recognizes that he pushed it too far by turning po3 into to a Stoke but he still believes to become a beast is a noble action going to grimora's section of the map we see she shares the same facial features and personality of the stink bug she states how she was returned to her former glory with the help of some unlikely friends it's clear that her kindness may put her on better terms with the other scribes in order to reach her we must first learn which of the graves matches her ghouls to do this we pick up pieces of epitaphs located around the area and beat the ghouls in battle the first Epitaph reads eaten by a hungry dog this probably belongs to this school who is covered in a pool of water missing half their bones and has bite marks on them all that's left is to fight them the name is soya and they say that the grave is the one in the middle the next Epitaph reads brought down by scurvy we can open this coffin to which the bone Lord is disappointed by the fact we have no offering and returns to rest and next school is a pirate who references food items known to combat scurvy lame is Royal and the tomb is the one on the right the next Epitaph reads hit by a falling piece of ice another Epitaph reads there was no cure it's also here in the mirror room that we can switch to different characters this may quite possibly be previous players who have played or beat in the game anyway the there was no cure Epitaph obviously belongs to the pirate picking another Epitaph it reads does not hold a grudge the next school has a piece of ice lounged into the skull also the name is Casey hubs there's a name again the name is referenced within the First Act of the game which leshi remembers fondly it appears they were born in 1970 but died in 1992. we pick up an Epitaph from the well which reads the defibrillator failed well considering that the ghoul who was half Eden could probably not be saved by a defibrillator we can put these together fairly quickly we then reached gramora she states that her minions never truly die before the battle starts giving us a hint as to her ability I use the aura Boris to defeat the first enemy and she notes down its death she kills all of our cards and gives us corpse versions of them they each have no attack power in one Health but requires her sacrifices because I have the unkillable sigil I managed to get my aura Bros back and defeat her in one hit a bit disappointing since I would have really enjoyed seeing how this could have played out but regardless we activate her Monument she then talks to you about your wish to replace leshi she asks that you spare her when the time comes perhaps indicating that she doesn't want to be chosen it's at this point that the battery on Nick's camera becomes so low that he needs to recharge it allowing us to look at more videos the first video shows Luke sending an email to gamefuna a company who he has previously collaborated with before and he asked of the copy of inscription is an elaborate prank or a genuine game made by the company the next video shows him asking his audience for help in finding the video game copy of inscription a most interesting lead however is the end part when he says this uh thank you so much as always and um oh yeah uh what the [ __ ] is the car [Music] as a video ends these subtitles contain binary code which upon translating it result in the words kanuffle code now it's here where we push some of the gameplay aside and get a bit into the ARG I won't be getting into specifics as to how the ARG itself was solved but there is a document that will be put into the description should you ever be interested How The Story Goes is that yes I know copes was discovered during the Cold War where a pack of cards was found on him this was a pack of kanuffle cards put into a specific order the cards were discovered by Barry Wilkinson who we can find in act two he sent the code to Kaminsky who funnily enough appears as a death card during act one he hidden on a floppy disk one of which was attained by Casey the carnival code itself was known by a few characters in the game it may also be present in what is called the old data which is mentioned time and time again although whether the scribes know about its presence is unknown not surprisingly gamefuna sends Luke an intimidating email from the gamefuna happiness department they want him to return the game back or they will pursue legal action it's clear that what is in the code itself is probably very dangerous and could cause a lot of problems should it be released into the public in this video a woman knocks on Luke's door she apparently came around the previous day but Luke didn't answer since she's arrived Again Luke ensures he is recording the encounter brief binary code appears when she introduces herself which translates to Amanda Lucas of course concerned as to how she managed to get his address and enter the property but he plays Dumb and claims to not know about a copy of inscription briefly ending the encounter the next video contains Luke opening several card packs one of which mentions characters and a video game series from the hex as a result of the day's events however he's unable to push himself to finish recording and so he leaves the final video is another error and so we continue playing the game we can go through a smaller segment where the cabin is and talk to the angler who is trying out a different spot to get the supposed old fish speaking to Rebecca she claims that each of the scribes has a more Twisted ambition than the loss here's what we can learn from each of them one last year wants to use challenges such as us as play things convinced that we enjoy the experiences of the game he offers us po3 seems to be more obscure but he has a character called the dredger working overtime to find the old data grimora wants to destroy inscription itself as she's most likely seen the Dada that is on the disc whatever this data is seems to be both important and terrifying magnificence is the most unknown not a lot is known about what he wants but Rebecca tells you that one of the theories about him is too terrible to say the next area for us to go to is the tower belonging to magnificus his Tower contains several strange and weird puzzles as well as a brief identity of Kaminsky the person who managed to help spread the Khan awful code in the ARG we put on the strange monocle and now have the similar ability that was shown in act 1 allowing us to see hidden ink in order to reach magnificus we must first fight his three graduate students on the know we read this from our three sigils containing the answer to the combination of the pillar here we find the green slime Creature from the First Act he was turned into goo for his final exam he wishes greatly to be used as a card for his master and constantly feels unbearable pain as a result of his State his cards introduce us to mucks and gems MOX cards will usually grant their user a gem which will help power most other magic cards defeating the mugs first is of course key to weakening all enemies and it's this that helps us defeat the goo within an instant he opens the door for us to the next floor where in order to get the next sigil combination we have to fight a mannequin I received the Deciduous of a skull and arm symbols as for the last sigil I simply brute force it we then meet up with a student who appears to have been mangled beyond recognition with only their head present perhaps magnificus may actually be a little cruel maybe the goal is to turn everyone into students and put them through terrifying trials this could quite possibly be the theory that was too unspeakable for Rebecca to mention the next puzzle is by far the most difficult the combination contains three hints the top schedule is found by the greedy the middle sijou is found by the pale the bottom sigil is found by the heart of hearing or by those who hear too easily following the trail on the left we find a Muk skull going through the options and on sound will also give us the bone Central I Brute Force the puzzle by guessing the last sigil and mixing in the other two and we're transported to the last student left insane and tortured as a result of sensory deprivation it seems magnificus is more cruel than we first thought the fight is a little tricky but by killing the MOX cards first we easily get through the fight finally we reach magnificus who stands waiting for us a note is is left on the table which reads jerus grimora I believe po3's plot may go far past the extent of a common paragraph indeed this great Transcendence will have catastrophic an unpredictable results I urge you to consider before the note ends talking to magnificus he States his eye aches with premonition he can effectively sense the future it's no wonder he had a backup plan to escape lushi's cabin magnificus paints sigils on our cards which replaces their ability fortunately upon my rematch I got a few lucky sigils and some in my Grizzly as my Grizzly works on the main source of gems I distract the rest of the board with some of my attacks with no more mocks cards left the rest of the game becomes quite easy this seems to have been the best play I could have made as even when magnifica Supply sigils to his own cards he is still incredibly defenseless magnificus's eye was initially cut out an eye which conveniently has the ability of premonition informs us that although lashi did this to him the raw were scribes out there before he can tell us anything else he disappears why does he disappear we have no way of knowing we can enter this part of the tower once we beat him but this doesn't really give us much the final area for us to go to is po3 in his Factory po3 tasks us with getting better robots for his production line we do a few puzzles and make our way across where we fight the inspector after beating him in battle the inspector will throw themselves down the production line for po3 po3 is a leader who doesn't care for any of his subordinates well-being so long as it means getting his work done the malta is one of the more disturbing encounters he appears to be a robot with a metal mask attached to him that prevents him from speaking his true thoughts after beating him he then throws himself down the line at the bottom of the factory we find the dredger a robot tasked with looking for something with the conveyor belts can connected to the water he informs us that he cannot sacrifice himself and that po3 will understand attacking him once will result in him giving up since he is so focused on his work it's clear that po3's task is quite important oh God he's founded he's found the old data slowly moving up and going through each of the processes it begins to take shape in our battle with Pier 3 he uses a conveyor belt in an attempt to confuse us if we aren't careful we may just end up using our own Cards Against ourselves using the uraboris po3 copies it using a scanner and when it looks like we're in complete danger it appears luck is on my side and we completely break the fight thank you we then activate All The Monuments where we are to replace slushy the scriber beast but this isn't over what about the secrets on the right side of the map we find the mycologists Mycologist shows us diagrams of several cards it requires to duplicate these cards can be collected from packs or by buying them from the trader at some point they accidentally let slip that this research is being done for something far more greater after the third encounter they simply tell us about studying duplicates in order to attain the code we then find a purple key which we can grab now another important card is the broken oble this card looks to be two broken sides of the same shape our suspicions are confirmed when using the training dummy this happens foreign we can then enter that area we previously couldn't access where the burnlord would greet us the bone Lord calls the opal a fine offering and opens up the coffin allowing us to go inside Luke reacts to the Abomination that he finds now based on the ARG we can identify some things first stuff the cards on the right pocket of the jacket is a card from the game of kanofu with this in mind and with the fact that according to the ARG was found with car novel cards in his pocket within a specific sequence this is actually the body of himself a perfect place for a seemingly evil creature to hide it's unclear what he is but some have speculated he may be the Devil Himself due to his demands for sacrifice he asks that we do not approach him unless we are willing to worship both him and the old Dada he gives us a blue key and two powerful items which would have been helpful for fights ago anyway ways he tells us that we will meet again and we can continue to The Monuments choosing lushi will result in him calling us a fool as we have effectively disrupted the cycle of life and death to which he poetically describes it as containing excitement death and mystery we confirm our suspicion of the angler being used to collect the old Dada which according to another ARG video is what probably put Lesh into power in the first place leshi suspects po3 bastard him in the race for the old data instead of fighting the Scribe we chose we instead fight po3 he summons the old Dada against us before we attack it and this happens po3 has now been placed into power we wake up and unable to escape from po3's grass are forced to play this game and help him defeat four Uber Bots and help start the great Transcendence foreign foreign
