Hellooooo! Very baby CoD zombies fan (in the sense I was just introduced to it at 21 by my homies at work who were SHOOK that I didn't grow up playing it like they did 💀) and I fear the brain has chosen Richtofen, specifically Ultimis Richtofen (cause old men with angular faces my beloved 🤣) to join my pantheon of characters to obsess over. So now comes my important question. How would one potentially go about finding out all the Richtofen lore and CoD zombies lore in general?
Quickest route, no freeways, as stated by the great and all-powerful lego batman lol
💫Hello hello!! Omg guys it's a babey! Welcome in, welcome in!! I do hope you enjoy it here!! ✨
💫 So, personally, my one-stop-shop for all things lore and Richtofen is this video right here! -> 🌟 Don't let the 9-hour run time scare you, it's not so daunting, I promise!! The video has chapter markers so you can skip around, along with audio logs and extra information so you can really understand what's going on! It's explained in a way that's easy to digest, and you can always go back to it! I've watched it in full about three times and still use it to reference certain parts of the lore! Best thing to do is just break it down into chapters if you don’t want to watch it all in one go!! I can also reccomend searching up audio logs on youtube too!✨
💫 Now, I can't help but notice you came to a Richtofen blog to ask about lore and Ultimis Richtofen, so, allow me to give you the warmest welcome by giving you a quick run down of his lore and the things he gets up to before, during, and at the end of the game! (Don't worry, I won't include huge spoilers!) ✨
⭐️ BEFORE THE EVENTS OF WAW.
Richtofen used to be a member of the Illuminati and joined Group 935 as a spy for them. However, he switched sides and ditched the Illuminati for Group 935 instead. The group's mission statement was to 'better the human condition,' but because of this being so open to interpretation, a LOT of strange science happened within the group.
Richtofen, partnered with Doctor Schuster my beloved, worked on teleportation experiments. They weren't going well, safe to say. Any deceased subject that was put into the M.T.D (Matter Transferance Device) came back as a sloppy pile of innards, or they would vanish. Until one fateful teleportation experiment, in which the subject returned as a reanimated corpse. An Undead. A zombie. With this new development, Maxis sought to control these zombies, and that later became an initiative to create an army of undead soldiers for the war effort.
Refocusing on teleportation, Richtofen decided to scale down the experiment. He attempted to teleport a walnut and found his first break through sucess!! He immediately told Doctor Maxis, the head of Group 935, but was met with mockery and the worst news of his life: Maxis had made a deal with the Nazi party. The deal was, if Group 935 supplied weapons for the German army, among other things, they would give the group funding to explore the concept of raising an undead army. This was a choice that would be the ruin Group 935, and Richtofen would make sure of that.
Richtofen offered himself up as the first human test subject, doing it in the name of science. He didn't die, but instead, he was sent up to the moon!! Though he wouldn't know that initially. On the moon, a device that would later be known as the MPD (Moon Pyramid Device) was waiting for him. This device had the ability to corrupt anyone who touched it, so, naturally, Richtofen touched it with his bare hands. To give him credit, he didn't know exactly what he was touching.
He then got teleported again, directly from the moon, to a place called Shangri-La. Now, this is unfortunately a bit of a racist trope, but we enjoy COD Zombies critically and are able to understand it is an old game with a lot of elements that haven't aged too well. While in Shangri-La, he was ambushed and taken by a tribe. Richtofen showed this old tribe the ways of electricity and hydro-power, and in reply, the tribe worshipped him like a God, making a shrine for him. He found a strange device in Shangri-La, and trapped up his altar to keep it safe. He also asked the tribe to mine element 115 for him, since there was quite a lot of it underground, and so the tribe did. They later succumbed to element 115 and turned into undead zombies. (Since I haven't mentioned it already: element 115 has the ability to turn you into an undead zombie if you have prolonged exposure to it)
Finding his way back to Germany, Richtofen took Schuster with him in an MTD ride for two and showed him the moon. After that, they began construction of Griffin Station. Griffin Station was a base of operations for Richtofen and the scienstis who he rallied against Maxis because of the deal with the Nazi party, and they conducted their own science on the MPD!
Richtofen led a double life for a while, acting as if everything was fine with Maxis, but it was difficult considering he was slipping into insanity. He heard voices in his head due to the corruption he was undergoing. Voices of creatures in a sealed-off realm, the voice of a man who spoke like a god. The voices were pulling a craving for more power to the forefront of Richtofen's mind, along with the idea of going to a place called 'Agartha.' (This is also a German conspiracy rooted in white supremacy, 'only pure whites can get into Agartha,' or something. THIS Agartha isn't that. THIS Agartha is basically just a COD Zombies equivalent to Christian Heaven.) And so, Richtofen started to go off script and use Group 935 equipment for his own personal experiments. Due to a spy catching him, his behaviour was reported, and Richtofen was sent to work closely with Maxis so that Maxis could keep an eye on him. That, however, was a mistake. While working on teleportation once again, Richtofen trapped Maxis and his daughter inside the MTD and...Kind of just sent them off?? into the stratasphear?? for all he cared?
Maxis ended up in a place known as 'The Crazy Place' and gained the ability to fuse himself with electricity. (It's a COD Zombies game, don't ask.) While his daughter, Samantha, was sent up to the moon and ended up running inside the MPD. Somehow, because of, well, science, Maxis was found and teleported to Griffin Station, where he was "asked" to coax Samantha out of the MPD. Instead, he asked her to 'do a favour' for him and 'kill them all' before shooting himself in front of his daughter. This drove Samantha even further along into insanity, and her vengeful wrath is why we're chased by zombies in the games!
Just before doing his own experiments, Richtofen was given three test subjects:
Nikolai Belinski
Takeo Misaki
Pablo Marinus
Tank Dempsey.
Richtofen thought he accidently killed Pablo in an experiment, and so his body was cast out and replaced with Dempsey. These test subjects were put on ice when Richtofen was punished for his personal experiments. But, when Group 935 was getting attacked by the undead hoard, Richtofen woke up these test subjects to help him fight.
🌟 BO2
This game is basically just a turf war between Maxis and Richtofen. Because of the events after the map 'Moon,' the Earth is an apocalyptic wasteland and both Richtofen and Maxis are fighting for control. They both want to go into 'The Aether,' because then they can reach Agartha.
🌟 BO4
The map 'Classified' is a little detour the group is forced to take, and it takes place between Shangri-La and Moon.
The map 'Alpha Omega' is the last map we have with Richtofen, and we see how the story ends in the 'Tag Der Toten' easter egg!
✨I really hope this helped! It's only a small run down, and you'll find a lot more info in the video!! And once again, welcome!! ✨
Why did I randomly make a bunch of LGBT CoD Zombies memes instead of sleeping? I dunno beyond I'm bi, I've liked CoD Zombies for most of my life and I like Samantha a normal amount.
Just in case you all didn't know, Kevin Sherwood(The composure for majority of the EE songs) has fully released ALL of the song herd in Cod Zombies. That means, BO3; BO4; and Cold War zombie songs can be listened to on Applr Music and Spotify.
Heads up! I did check Spotify, and only VOL.1 is currently missing (Which had Pareidolia, Coming Home, and Always Running), but majority of the Zombies songs can be listened to.
Made a logo for a friend tonight! Go try out his free MMORPG, Aether Story!
Also, if you have a logo you'd like me to make or anything environment related for your own game, commissions are open! :)
-Back to the rest of the Group in the hardware store-
10:48
“Do any of you believe in the existence of evil?”
Ash had asked the whole group that question after they got back without U!Takeo, after they had to explain what had happened back in Wonderland Plaza. “A force of nature capable of giving rise to all things wicked?” his back was back to everyone with his hands on his hips when he asked further, waiting for an answer.
“Most of us do.” Primis Richtofen answered as he was seated on a crate he shared with the Engineer, “Back in 1918, before the end of World War I, me, Doctor Maxis und our men had gone to Excavation Site 64, we had uncovered an ancient tomb vith large amounts of Element 115 inside, from vhat ve had found is very likely from zhe middle ages, zhe statues zhat looked exactly like us und elemental stones zhat can be used by staffs.”
“It was long before we got involved, German.” Primis Nikolai growled in anger as he glared at him, “You and others had uncovered and created something that should never be unburied and undisturbed but you went ahead and unleashed the evil upon the land with no second thoughts!”
Diego was silent as Ash turned around to face them with his arms crossed, Engineer then spoke up “Before all of this, we had met and seen things on every Halloween, most of it was normal before but some of ‘em ain’t good.”
Ash looked at everyone as he explained “Guys, listen to me and what I had gone through in my own experience, alright?”
“It happened 30 years ago, my friends and I spended the night at the cabin,”
[Digitally drawn by Meaghan “Icefir” Halter, images, screenshots and movie poster belongs to Sam Raimi and the one and only; Bruce Campbell.]
The walls shown the memories of Ash’s younger years with his former girlfriend, a friend with a girlfriend of his own, and his sister in the car riding into the woods and arriving to the old cabin behind everyone as they settled to listen to his story
“We shouldn’t be looking but we have found the book… Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, Book of The Dead. Created by the Dark Ones as it was inked in blood and bound in human skin. Having the power to resurrect demons and summon the powers of darkness.” as the scene of these memories changed into a book, like Ash had said himself; the book was bound in human skin and flesh, and it was inked in blood of the fallen to write and drew the book in as Ash and his friend, Scotty, looked at it before they found a reel-to-reel tape player with the type left behind.
“The professor, Raymond Knowby, long before we got there, had taken it to the cabin to study but when he read the box’s text out, he was never seen again.”
Scene had rewinded to an elderly man, Professor Raymond Knowby, his wife, daughter and assistant wandering into the ruins of a castle until they discovered Necronomicon Ex-Mortis and along with a dagger, both of them were covered in dust before it showed the cabin once again as the windows was glowing light through them.
“When we played the tape Knowby left behind, we unleashed something dark, something evil that lasts for centuries that lives in the woods.”
Then we are shown a flashback of Ash having pinned his possessed hand onto the floor with a knife in order for it to stay in place while he uses a chainsaw to sever it while blood- his blood, sprayed onto his face as he screams in agony.
“It got into my hand and went bad so I lopped it off.”
We then saw into the evil entity's point of view flying and dashing through the forest as it was going towards the same cabin and it broke down the back door, flashbacks shown the images of Scotty, Sherry, and Cheryl had been possessed; Cheryl was the first one to be possessed, locked in the fruit cellar of the cabin as she was banging under the chained up cellar door for most of the night. Sherry was then the next unfortunate victim of the Kandarian Demon when she was attacked in her room and eventually Scotty was too the next one to go as he was severely injured when he tried to find an alternate route back to the outside and he was eventually resurrected into a Deadite.
“It then got to my friends, twisting them, changing them, they made them… less than human. And Linda, she…”
We are then presented to one more flashback of Linda in her night gown as an unseen force breaks through the glass while she screams and then presented to the now Deadite Linda being decapitated by Ash with a shovel and her head flew upward and back down to him in a struggle.
“...And then soon, things escalated quickly after that.” he finished.
“Escalated quickly?” Primis Nikolai commented on Ash’s story, the way he looked at him now as the Russian suspects that this Necronomicon Ex-Mortis may have something to do with this and Ash Williams may somewhat be involved with it.
“A lot of sh!t, I was the only one that managed to escape and now all because of a screwup I’ve made; read from that book, one lousy time, evil has found not only me but all of you somehow. and I am now, as I was thinking, responsible for all of this.” Ash somewhat confessed with his hands raised and then fell down onto his sides, everyone looked at him as silence remained until U!Dempsey said “Huh, funny that you were the reason why we are here in the first place.” as he gave him the stink eye while Ash then remarks “You don’t think to catch a rabbit once it’s on the wrong foot, do you?”
“Okay, that’s it; I’m shooting him.” before he got out a pistol and then aimed it at Ash who got his “Boomstick” out and the only one that prevented this was the Engineer who stood between them and said “Hold on, let’s not make it worse, boys.” with his hands raised in a gesture of calming the situation or an attempt to calm it down.
“There’s gonna be other theories, if what Ash says about the Necronomicon story didn't have anything to do with this then what we are dealing with is worse than zombies and Deadites.” Shaw had to explain as he stood up from his place towards the standoff between El Jefe and the marine.
“Examples?” Corporal asked as he still was looking at Ash, “Stanton may have a point.” Primis Richtofen added with must, “Apothicons are the second one to be on the list, as of now the Book of The Dead is top of it but now with other theories that anyone want to share?”
David Tapp then spoke up with raw rash, “Jigsaw may be behind this zombie outbreak but now when I think about it, I don’t think that kidnapping people through interdimensional means was a way for him to act out his games on.”
More and more theories are coming up more in people's minds as Ash and Tank had to lower their weapons to listen.
“A part of us believed that the Order was somewhat behind all of this,” Diego finally spoke up before two of his teammates could, “If this was their plan the entire time, then we must surely do something about it.”
“Maybe Saxon’s mistake,” Medic suggested, “He might have caused a universal rift in our universe to yours.”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Miss Pauling interjected, “It could be Gray Mann, he is the only one that is advanced with machinery and technology, maybe he could be responsible for all of this.”
“But it doesn't explains how those creepy-looking f*@#ers that brought us here, ones with jack-o-lantern faces.” U!Dempsey had poked a hole into these conspiracies'.
“Still,” Bill finally spoke after they all talked, “Last thing I remembered was turning on the generator to help my teammates to get away from zombies and then getting the wind out of me before things turned back.”
David Tapp, up until now, looked at Bill with concern and said with hasite “Did you think that you’d died?”
“I think so, Detective.” Bill Overbeck had confirmed and then the store went still, silent, “I think I had died too but how are we even alive?” David said as he placed a hand on his forehead as if he was pressing against a headache.
“How the hell are you even here, breathing, not undead?” U!Dempsey asked, adding further questions but Primis NIkolai already figured out how, “You were both resurrected. By something.”
“Resurrected?” They both said, not believing the Russian but before he could say anything, a knock was heard and he honestly had no idea who got out a shotgun as a bang was heard and split the wooden door and a yell was heard.
“Engie!” Ash yelled to whoever saw him with the Frontier Justice, “Sorry, Ah panicked!”
“Stand down!” A familiar voice was heard from the back of the door, their ears perked up as P!Richtofen questioned “Takeo?”
As if it was automatic, Pyro had gotten a flamethrower and then walked over to the door as P!Nikolai tried to stop them but Spy stopped him. “Don't recall what happened in the Wonderland Plaza.”
Nikolai looked at him for a moment and said “Do you think Mercer had found us?”
“Oui., I believe so, if I am wrong, it could be Takeo.”
Pyro slowly grabbed the handle and then slowly pulled it open and pointed at whoever it was on the other side of the door with the weapon. On the other side was Frank West who had his hands up and beside him was Ultimis Takeo who tried to ushered to the pyromaniac but then realized two reasons: his encounter with the shapeshifter with biomass and his allies may had relayed this to the rest of the group.
“Pyro, lower the flamethrower, we are not like him.” he reasoned as Pyro looked at U!Takeo with suspicion, he carefully walked over to the Pyro as slowly as possible. When he got close only for Pyro to see more than Frank, and then rolled his sleeve a bit for the same vine to present a flower for them as proof.
It was good enough for Pyro but not for Frank West yet the Samurai were able to have their back turn and they talked quietly as the photojournalist watched rather dismayed with tribulation.
“He?”
“Hai.”
“But what if he’s?”
“He’s not Mercer, if he’s him, he could’ve consume me rhen he had the chance but he didn’t on rhe rhole way here.”
“He’s not him?”
“Iie, his name is Frank West-san, not Alex Mercer.”
Frank examined the private conversion between the two with loathsome pause while these two whispered to each other with no end it seems, Pyro seemed to be in two minds on the dilemma until the delay that took 5 minutes they finally turned to Frank West, saying nothing but Pyro moved and lets Takeo in, he turned and looked at Frank before saying “Are you coming?”
Frank was a startled at first as he was be bit suspicious of this before he cautiously walked into the hardware store, so far on his first day; he had countered a mad man known to him as a Psycho in form of a gun shop owner when he was out trying to find more unlucky survivors in the zombie after he helped Brad to try take down a terrorist reasonable for this.
He was thinking that these people could have something to do with this outbreak as well when he entered the store and there were people inside, he recognized them right away as they were with the other townspeople before the barricade was broken in but there are two old-aged men who are unfamiliar.
“Well, hello there, stranger.” Diego was the first one to greet him, “Hey, you must be the ones from the Entrance Plaza, I guess they did get away rather all.”
“And you are?” Ash asked as he crossed his arms while he looked at him. “I’m Frank West,” Frank introduced himself, “Right now I rather want to know than exchanging pleasantly.”
“Right on the spot,” Bill said as he stood up, “Are you writing a story about this?”
“I’m a photojournalist, just listen, your friend has led me here, I guess to convince all of you to come with me.”
“To where?” U!Dempsey said with suspicion, “As I recall nothing in this mall is safe.”
“There is,” Frank rebuked, “An security room was wielded shut so none of these walking corpses could get in.”
“Welded shut?” Scarlett perked up, that caught their attention so the Engineer urged “Is it true?”
“A Janitor, Otis, had wielded it shut with a blowtorch to make sure none of them would get in, that would be the only place left that could be safe.” He explained to the group who were interested in this conversion.
Miss Pauling looked at him before pulling Primis Richtofen, and Scarlett away, “Guys, a word please?” and they were on the other side of the store right away. “What do you zhink, Frank vas telling zhe truth or…?”
“If he was lying, he couldn’t spill it out. There’s hardly a window there and…”
“If the door was wielded shut from the inside, how did he manage to get out of the room?” Scarlett had to inject the two, “And I want to know how.”
“Still, better than being here with the dead.” Miss Pauling as she and P!Richtofen looked at her with treaty, “If ve follow him, he could-”
“He had said rhe “helicopter” ras coming,” another voice joins in the meeting of theirs, they looked and saw him, Takeo who was watching them with arms crossed across his chest.
“Vhat/what?” the three said at once.
Ultimis Takeo walks over to them, stopping once he got close enough to them, “He had spoken of his “ride ``coming rithin three days. Rhis is how he had planned; find the story to make sure it will be worth for these three days.”
“Why can’t it be three hours?” Miss Pauling thought with hefty impatience, they were silent for a moment and soon, Richtofen said “Is his escape route reliable?”
The warrior nodded, “Hai, story was the reason he is here.”
The three looked at each other with the thoughts, possibly thinking it over about it but you could ask why couldn’t Primis Richtofen use the Summoning Key?
Well, he had tried earlier but for a shocking reason, Key didn’t open up the portal like before. He had tried and tried but it failed each one time.
Primis Nikolai had berated him on this but it wasn’t honestly his fault, the key wasn’t working and something was very wrong.
This seemed to be the only option for them now, much as he doesn’t like it but he had to agree to the deal. “Alright.”
“Okay.”
“Sure.”
U!Takeo looked content with their decision, but not before Richtofen stated “But if ve all had to vait for three days for it to arrive, ve'd need supplies.”
“Brad’s gonna handle that.” Frank had came around the corner where the four were, “Frank, you see-”
“I kinda heard the whole thing, Tak,” Frank had confessed, no joke, he had listened to what he said, U!Takeo felt a bit bad for what he had overheard and looked at him to say something but Frank continued “I'm gonna check if everyone could fit inside the helicopter, afterall, my guy is reliable.”
“Well, Brad is going to need help with supplies.” Scarlett suggested, “Where is here now?”
“Well…”
12:14
Two hours it took for a few of them to get in the security room with much supplies they needed but of course, they had to share them with the survivors Frank had rescued for the three days as Tank had tied his jacket around his waist as he had a black tank top with his dog tags is standing guard of the vent, making sure that there won’t be any shambling zombies won’t get inside the room through the vents.
Brad had got back with more supplies as Tank was pressing his back against the wall close to the door to the monitor room, Brad looked and then said “Yo guys! Gimme a hand here!’
Dempsey and Frank walked over to Brad who had the supplies in a box that was sitting inside the air duct, Frank grabbed a cola from it but Brad gently grabbed him by the arm and made the photojournalist look at him.
“Wh-what gives?”
Brad grabs the soda and pulls it away from him, “Considering the helicopter, bringing more hands here and all, we have to work together.” Brad said as Ultimis Dempsey nodded and added “But that doesn’t mean that we all tell you anything of what was going on.”
“The corporal had the point; things are classified for security reasons and things that, if we do tell you, cannot be printed as necessities.”
“Yeah?” Frank sledded with his arms crossed, “So?”
“So, we just want you to appreciate the situation.” Brad answered as he and Tank looked at him, Frank looked up at the ceiling and said “Well, we are all trapped in a mall with a bunch of zombies.” before looking at them again “Yeah, I think I appreciate the situation just fine.”
“Zombies….” The Afican man looked down at the floor before looked back to Frank, “I still can’t believe all of this is happening, you know, it seems unreal.”
“But this is reality, we know how to take them out.” Tank blissfully thinks as Brad gives the cola back to Frank West and carries the box to the monitor room as the marine goes with him.
“Ya alright there?”
“Yeah, we got it.” Dempsey answered as he opened the door to let Brad and himself in while Frank opened his drink and sipped it down.
Dempsey went into the hallway as where the rest of the group was, Shaw was making another batch of Acid Bombs with Ash looking over at his work before looking over at the old man and greeted with “Making new friends, already?”
“Hahaha, go f*** yourself, Ash.” mocked Dempsey with a sneer as he walked to P!Richtofen with Scarlett and Pauling on what they will be doing once the rescue arrives. Tapping him on the shoulder, making him jump a little but realized that it’s Dempsey.
“It was a tiring day, too bad that the stuff we could use is back at the hardware store.”
“Ve could always come back to it vhen ve go out of zhe room vhen ve still can but on limit of three days,” P!Richtofen recounted with the 1940’s marine, “Ve sleep for about 4 hours per night to switch shifts, ve vill figure out more by morning.” he then turned to walk over to his own living place with little supplies he had carried with him as U!Takeo nodded in agreement.
4:56
Four hours passed with David Tapp, P!Nikolai and Richtofen and Engineer kept awake, ready for action while others slept. U!Dempsey was up to get ready for watch as he cracked his knuckles as Miss Pauling was up as well with her legs against her chest, looking down.
“Your turn was up, German.” It was Primis Nikolai who looked over and said this to Richtofen to rest, with a nod as he got and then walked away so Ultimis Dempsey could take watch. He looked back and saw David Tapp doesn’t let anyone have a turn, just kept watching that lead having five of them, one being the Pyro, sat with them.
“He must’ve been determined.” he thought as he walked over to his sleeping quarters, gently sitting down on the floor and sat down with ease next to Bill. The old man looked at him and said “Did you figure out what the hell was going on?”
P!Richtofne looked at William with confusion at first, “Hmm?”
“The whole “Interdimensional Time travel” bullsh!t?”
“I do not know yet, William.”
“Not even the parts on how me and Tapp are still alive?”
“I do not know about zhat either, if I do know, I vould.” P!Richtofen replied with skepticism. Bill looked at him with his arms crossed, he had been through hell and back in a form of war through Vietnam and Green Flu zombies with his teammates whom he will now consider them as friends and he hoped they are still alright right now after… What he must do to ensure their safety.
“Doc,” Overbeck insisted, “I am not that stupid, if this… Whatever is happening, did those “App-o-con” creatures have something to do with this?”
“I believe so, William-”
“Just call me “Bill,” Ed.”
“Bill,” The Doctor corrected himself, “As much as I vould love tell you everything about vhat had been going on und vhy zhis is happening in zhe vhy is has been, I couldn’t find zhe words for that. Time travel und all zhat had happened, vhy zhe dead vas resurrected but as a normal person, not a zombie is beyond my level of reasons.”
Bill seemed to get that but then said “Maybe it was out of no reason whatsoever or just brought me and David back to live on purpose, a bullsh!t purpose.” before turning over to Richtofen before he lays down.
“Besides, I didn’t sign up to be in this hellhole but I’m here anyway.” before closing his eyes and then starts trying to close his eyes to sleep.
Primis Richtofen looked down at the floor as he wondered back at what had happened at the hardware store. “But it doesn't explains how those creepy-looking f*@#ers that brought us here, ones with jack-o-lantern faces.” U!Dempsey had poked a hole into these conspirities.
Frustration, irritation and condemned in this dimension, he groaned in fervid and furious at this sudden change to his plans to save the universe as something had not only brought him and his fri- Allies to do god-knows-what, but everyone else getting involved in this agenda as well. He fully believed that Dr. Monty would do something about this but…. A thought came to him, it should’ve been sooner but his mind had heaved it from it too late; Why wasn’t Dr. Monty doing anything right now? Putting a stop to this?
Edward was amazed yet uncertain by it. If Dr. Monty knew what was holding him and his team up and figured it out, he could do something to cut this situation short, get everyone home and resume what they were doing but why wasn’t he?
Maybe, just maybe, something must’ve figured out that Dr. Monty could try but must’ve shuttled him out from this strange modern dimension as a precautionary measure if he did find out what was going on. Or maybe it had found him, Dr. Maxis, Samantha and-
“Nein, Edward, do not overzhink it…” he swallowed those thoughts before they could get more avid. Shaking his head at this as he closed his eyes to let out a sigh.
“Hopefully soon, ve could be able to get back vith zhe rest of our groups und figure what is going on yet most critically: vho vas behind it all.” he whispered to himself as he laid down at last.
Using a handbag filled with clothes from the store as a makeshift pillow for his displeasure yet usual slumber, it took him a jiffy for him to find comfort on the floor until he eventually found it and fell off into a slumber….
There are so many things people are getting wrong and here are some answers to the things I’ve seen. @lynkseyy 100% helped me with these answers and we are going to defend them.
!Spoilers, like major ones!
“Ultimis Richtofen did not poison the crew it was Nikolai.”
Actually... It was Ultimis Richtofen. There literally is in-game evidence saying that it was him. And why didn’t Nikolai stop him? Because it was in the Kronorium, he knew what was going to happen. He had to pretend to side with him, have him ascend to the Aether using the Agarthan device (was Richtofen’s backup plan) which Nikolai would use to end the universe and create a timeline that would possibly make their wishes come true (it’s up for interpretation if they do get their wishes via the Agarthan device, it isn’t confirmed but 100% suggested.) In a radio, Richtofen stated that the device works, “like a genie in a bottle.” Nikolai duped the villain to end the torment that would’ve lasted if Ult Rich reached the Aether which then the cycle would have never ended.
“Ultimis Richtofen had character development. He really changed and had sympathy.”
No. Way. When talking to Stu and saying he was “so sorry,” do you really think he was? He was just using Victis for his own success (that led to his own death lmao.) It was clear in Alpha Omega that he really wasn’t meant for character development. So basically, slvh nzw.
“Ultimis Richtofen isn’t evil.”
Oh really? Then how did this all start? He is the absolute reason this all started. The literal reason all this pain and torment lasted for so long. You cannot say it wasn’t him because you know damn well it was.
“Primis Richtofen still seems kinda fishy. Still doesn’t seem trustworthy.”
So you’re telling me, you thought the guy that was trying so very hard to fix everything to then have the book be passed off to Nikolai, isn’t trustworthy, but the man that literally started EVERYTHING is trustworthy? I’m not just saying that this misconception is on Tumblr, but it’s on Reddit and literally makes Lynk and I question everything. “I personally think Primis Richtofen is Dr. Monty in disguise.” “You said it, he acts like Ultimis Richtofen.” “Richtofen might not be who we think he is.” “Primis Richtofen isn’t who you think.” Please, come up to our faces and tell us that Primis and Ultimis Richtofen are the same people, because we’ll gladly tell you how they are not and that there are so many ways to tell. There was also about the fact that he seemed super off in Alpha Omega, but what else was he supposed to do? The book was just passed off and duties and responsibilities were gone from him, he wouldn’t be able to do much.
In the end, there were definitely more things to talk about but if you have more questions, please feel free to ask @lynkseyy or I we’re willing to answer (but definitely ask her she’s the smarty lederhosen of the two of us.)
Thank you for coming to this really long COD Zombies TED Talk.
