The Secret World (Video Game)	comment	An MMORPG from Funcom, makers of The Longest Journey, Anarchy Online, Age of Conan and several other games, released on July 3rd, 2012. The premise of The Secret World is that all conspiracies are true, and major clandestine organizations compete to take over the world, whilst keeping swarms of mythical creatures under wraps in the process. Players join up with one of three ancient conspiracies: the Templar, The Illuminati, or the Dragon, to fight in a secret war waged in the shadows of our world.An interesting draw is the lack of classes and levels — rather than selecting a class such as "mage" or "warrior" and only learn certain skills as you level up, players will be able to choose skills to do whatever they want — they are free to select both spells and melee, or stealth and healing magic or what have you. (Given enough time and effort, a player can learn to play any role with the same character.)The Templars, based in London, are the most open of the three societies, as well as the most devoted to fighting evil in all forms. Pitted against them are the Illuminati, who are focused on personal gain and individualism. The third society, the Dragon, is the most enigmatic of the three — decentralized and secretive, the only thing sure about them is their dedication to their mathematical model that is said to represent the universe.According to the developers, the game takes a lot of inspirations from works set in The Roaring '20s, from H. P. Lovecraft's books to the Indiana Jones franchise. It was even originally intended to be set in 1920s, but concerns over the setting's accessibility have led to a Present Day setting being chosen. The old setting was instead picked up again by the devs' later project, Draugen.The Secret World was officially deprecated on March 29, 2017 and was replaced by Secret World Legends, a Free-to-Play reboot, on June 26, 2017. SWL features a new combat system, more streamlined skill trees, and a more traditional levelling system. Old TSW accounts will still be able to play on a legacy server which will receive no further updates or support.On October 27, 2015, The Park, a Spin-Off single player game, was released. Taking place in The Savage Coast's Atlantic Island Amusement Park, it follows the story of Lorraine, a young mother looking for her son Callum in the park.On October 25, 2016, a second spin-off game, Hide And Shriek, was also released. It is a one-on-one multiplayer game, where players play the part of students of Innsmouth Academy and its rival Little Springs High School who attempt to scare each other in a Halloween Prank War, it is Lighter and Softer than either this game or The Park.On Halloween 2019, another spin-off game, Moons of Madness was released. It is a first-person, story-driven cosmic horror game that takes place on Mars, and deals with the Orochi Group.On September 4, 2022, Star Anvil Studios announced a kickstarter to turn the setting of The Secret World into a Tabletop Game based on the Fifth Edition ruleset of Dungeons & Dragons, which was launched on the 4th of October and was fully funded in four hours.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_12113808	comment	Dangerous Drowsiness: In the mission "Contagion," Julia Smith appears to have finally relaxed long enough to have a lie-down, understandable given that the Smiths have been on high alert for the last few days. However, it very quickly turns out that Julia's actually been exposed to the Filth at some point since the disaster in the Carpathians began, and the little sleep she's having is more akin to a feverish coma; in the event that she survives the initial infection, she'll end up transformed into another one of the Filthy Swarm wandering the Carpathian caverns. Thankfully, Emma Smith is reportedly able to save her.

Templars players are given an option to join up, Illuminati players are given an appointment and a veiled threat, while the Dragon players get kidnapped, dropped off in an alley in Korea, and then get a recruitment pitch from a former professor and a prostitute.

Tier 4, however, has the player search for the questgiver's stash of magic items, hidden from their enemies. How did she hide these goods? Behind a mix of Temporary Platforms and Floating Platforms. Even aside from the game's dodgy Jump Physics and the scarcity of these mechanics elsewhere in the game, this pretends that some of the more muscular werewolves could not make these leaps, or that the larger vampires aren't tall enough to reach these platforms from the ground.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_1989b0c	comment	Comic-Book Time: The timeline in-game is left pretty vague most of the time, but a bare bones chronology can be constructed with clues from various points of the game.In detail The End of Days event can date the game to at least 2012, the year of the game's release, because of its premise in the Mayan Doomsday theory. It is possible that the game could have begun even earlier than that, since Marianne Chen noting that she thought things would be different with a Democrat in office potentially places the game at any point in Barack Obama's first term. At the other end of the timeline, the Assault on the Orochi Tower in Issue #11 can be dated to early 2015, since a small white board in the Orochi tower reads Je Suis Charlie, the slogan used in solidarity after the terrorist attacks on french satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo in January of that year.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_198bef8	comment	The power-brokering, Ultra-capitalist Illuminati. The Illuminati way is to seize control, no-matter who you have to take out to get it. As for their approach to civilians, at least the Templars have a certain degree of compassion for the inhabitants of Kingsmouth: the Illuminati are almost entirely without sympathy or compassion. On the upside, violence is a last resort; it's preferable to use blackmail, bribery, and backroom politics to achieve the Illuminati's goals, and whatever their other faults, they aren't hypocrites; if you're competent and loyal, say the Illuminati, you're as accepted as any other agent.

Despite accusations leveled against the local Wabanaki, it eventually became clear that the murders could only have been committed by fellow miners, courtesy of something in the mine itself driving them insane. As it turns out, the cause is actually the Gaia Engine under the mountain... and the Dreamer imprisoned within it.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_1bc2e445	comment	End of an Age: Has happened several times in the past, and involved varying degrees of The Magic Goes Away and Lost Technology — and, according to Dr Klein in Issue #14, a complete universal restart. The world is currently in the Fourth Age. There is nothing discernible left over on Earth from the Second Age, and only bits and pieces of ancient machinery in the Hell Dimensions, repurposed and with their original functions long since forgotten. The bees describe the Second Age as having been "toxic", a time when humans regularly consorted with demons (the end of the Second Age was when the Hell Dimensions were cut off from Earth), so this may be for the best. The Third Age is heavily implied to have been The Time of Myths filled with advanced, anima-powered technology. The legends of Atlantis and other lost civilizations have their roots in this time. It is so far gone, however, that only a few bits and pieces of it are left, like Excalibur and possibly the Agartha Custodians. It ended when Lilith's plans to get in the Dreamers' good graces blew up in her face, causing one of them to wake up just enough that it brought down the world as it rolled over and fell asleep again.

This is particularly true of Solomon Island, where almost every quest giver is taking shelter in some kind of barricaded fortress with heavily-armed gunmen guarding the door- though the Illuminati and Morninglight NPCs have the advantage of magical wards that disintegrate enemies the moment they try to enter. The notable exceptions to this rule are Boone and Wolf, who are more than capable of defending themselves from the zombies.

That's the only way they can reproduce (and the transformation is one-way).

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_21579c25	type	Ancient Artifact
The Secret World (Video Game) / int_21579c25	comment	Ancient Artifact: Boy howdy. In addition to sidequests involving various artifacts that are ultimately unimportant to the plot, including many to simply stop piles of them from being dug up, there are a few big ones. Gear drops from most of the dungeons and the raids can be considered this, granting players access to equipment that originates from Cold War-era Soviet occult experiments, an ancient battle between Native Americans and Mayans, left-overs from slain cosmic horrors and even Hell itself. The story around Solomon Island centers around two of them: Excalibur and a Gaia Engine buried deep underneath Blue Mountain. The latter artifacts are the most important revealed thus far, as they stop the Dreamers from devouring reality by keeping them lulled to sleep. Doctor Klein, an Orochi scientist corrupted by the Filth while researching the Ankh in Egypt, wields the Staff of Aten. It gives him control over the various creatures in the temple and allows him to project some magical attacks as well. The ring worn by Lilith projects fields that can effortlessly imprison someone, protect the user from the Filth, and even severely weaken one of the strongest Filth creatures to the point where a lone Secret Worlder can bring it down. Unfortunately for the wearer, it does absolutely nothing against the Nephilim.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_21eb1793	comment	Muggles Do It Better: Zig-Zagged; as the human inhabitants of Solomon Island, Egypt and Transylvania demonstrate, muggles can hold their own against the many different breeds of monsters that attack them every other minute, provided they've got a fortified position and a few guns. The soldiers of the US military and the Orochi Group are equally effective, so long as their shields keep working. A rare few Badass Normals, like Iorgu and the Hunter, can take on various monsters by themselves; some of the Wabanaki on Solomon Island have even made a successful business out of hunting wendigo and ak'ab. However, it's made clear that magic is much more effective in combating large groups of monsters or destroying the most powerful ones; quite apart from the many Orochi Group taskforces that have been massacred under these circumstances, locals usually ask you to help them bolster the defences from time to time.

Being his friend is not a good thing. At one point, it's possible to stumble upon a letter from Lilith to Uta Bloody Valentine, in which the legendary Humanoid Abomination treats Uta as if she really were her long-lost daughter. It's a surprisingly sweet moment... except for the fact that the Mother of Monsters is giving Uta the "So Proud of You" treatment for becoming a cold-blood psychopath and adopting the life of a professional assassin.

Though wildly eccentric, he's quite benign — especially compared to some of the other mad scientists in the game. Dr. Klein, one of the villains of the Ankh dungeon. A scientist working for the Orochi group, he's been exposed to the Filth so often, he's actually developed a tolerance to its normal brain-destroying effects; unfortunately, he's also become seriously addicted to it in the process. Dr Varias and the other scientists of the Soviet-run "Red Hand" project in Transylvania; among their more ambitious works were attempts to create vampire-human hybrids, and training cosmonauts to travel through "Inner Space". Dr. Schreber in Dream to a Kill. Would Harm a Child. Lampshaded by Kirsten Geary, who carries the belief that a mad scientist is only as dangerous as the level of lucidity they aspire to; Zurn is perfectly safe because he doesn't even pretend to be lucid. Dr. Schreber, in contrast, has an extremely high professional standard, up to insisting that "Filth" and "Gaia's Chosen" not be used to refer to those things because they're unscientific names that carry inappropriate religious connotations.

Your character goes back in time, replaces an ancile with a fake one, and goes back to SÃ¤id. The ancile your character brings is fake as well, implying that perhaps a bunch of your characters may have replaced all of them with fakes. When your character first looks for the ark in the dig site, you find the one there is broken, a shield surrounds the location, and the floor looks somewhat charred. You than go back in time to the same location in Ancient Egypt to find a functioning ark. You replace a functioning ark with the broken one you had found in the future, setting off a trap that activates a shield, and burns the floor. Before going back to Ancient Egypt, SÃ¤id gives you a scarab to ensure that you reach the correct time period. As you are about to travel back to the future, you meet a living SÃ¤id, and he steals this scarab from you.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_42c9f1ec	comment	Downplayed in Legends with both classes and levels. The player chooses one of nine classes on character creation, but this only affects which two weapons are initially unlocked and given for free. The other weapons can still be unlocked and AP and SP can be spent on any unlocked tree. Character level caps at 50, but this is not actually the end of progression. AP and SP gain continue after level cap, so it is still possible to unlock every active and passive ability in the game.

It only requires a few seconds to activate, so it's very good for evading currently unbeatable challenges or bypassing hazardous terrain. Following the battle with the Black Pharaoh in the second act of the game, you're knocked out by a squad of Orochi Group security officers; before they can do anything else to you, a random portal suddenly whisks you away to the Dreaming Prison. It's not established what they would have done to you if the portal hadn't opened.

Among other things, there's an ancient shapeshifting wise woman watching over the town, the area is dotted with derelict Soviet-era laboratories that were testing everything from vampire super-soldiers to "phantom cosmonauts," and the nearby forest is home to all manner of entities including fauns, gnomes, and even a god. By the time you arrive, of course, a vampire army is besieging Harbaburesti and the previously secret entities have been forced out into the open in defence of the town. Perhaps not so surprisingly, there's a Gaia Engine in the Carpathian Mountains just beyond the forest.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_4a879f41	comment	Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: The game features many occasions when the player can encounter nightmarish creatures of best-forgotten myths and legends... and have pleasant conversations with them. Several examples of many: During your first meeting with him, the Transylvanian Forest God is getting drunk at a tavern and writing poetry about the barmaid. Sadly, he doesn't offer to buy you a pint. SÃ¤id is a reanimated ancient Egyptian mummy and quite clearly looks the part — right down to the emaciated body, withered skin and (under the sunglasses) empty eye-sockets. He spends most of his time chatting sarcastically with you on the Hotel Wahid's balcony, and actually begins one of his missions by take a photo of you with his phone. Plus, it's implied he actually enjoys meetings at Cafe Giza over tea and coffee... Dragon players experience a "Did You Just Shake Hands With Cthulhu" moment when the Golden Child — The Chosen One on which the entire Dragon is based upon, the child that you've been explicitly ordered never to speak to — quite unexpectedly beckons you over and shakes your hand. Judging by Bong Cha's stunned expression and the bow one of the servants gives you on your way out, it's clear that this trope was running through their heads.

Played for Laughs in one scene, where the player is trying to find a secret vault the Illuminati were rumored to store all their occult knowledge in. Upon asking the three survivors of Innsmouth Academy where it is, Miss Usher says that, unfortunately, nobody knows where this vault is hidden... right up until Headmaster Montag and Carter start volunteering information about it, with Carter even providing exact directions to the vault, and explaining that most of the seniors knew about it too.

The ultimate iteration of this is the Shade Stalker, a gigantic spidery mass of Filth that's essentially a scaled-down edition of the Dreamers themselves. As a result of being at the very epicentre of the Filth bomb used in Tokyo, John Copley transcends physical existence altogether and becomes a minor Eldritch Abomination known as the Black Signal. Now part of the Dreamers' collective but unbound by the Gaia Engines that normally keep them under control, he is capable of creating bodies out of pure Filth, speaking in Brown Notes that induce spontaneous suicide in listeners, and manipulating technology in any way he pleases - to the point that he's actually able to hack the game's lore entries so he can talk to you.

It takes decades before they regain enough of their minds to resist their instincts and vampire indoctrination, and most of them don't live that long. Questgiver Trian is the lone exception to the rule. In "Who Horrifies The Horrors?" werewolves are sent fleeing in terror from a shapeshifting monster known as the Dark Woods Horror. On top of being more powerful than the werewolves, it's little more than a rampaging beast incapable of reasoning and driven to brutally slaughter everything in its path. It's the result of the Orochi Group's experiments in spreading lycanthropy to children, allowing them greater shapeshifting powers than true werewolves - but also driving them incurably rabid.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_50727f8d	comment	Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Dying doesn't have any particularly high penalties. Your gear suffers some minor damage, and you have to either walk back to your corpse or respawn at an Anima Well. Death is so cheap, in fact, players used to commit suicide and respawn at the Anima Wells as a form of stopgap fast-traveling — up until the game was upgraded to replace this exploit with a significantly cheaper magical teleport system. Killing yourself is even required in some quests, to access areas that are blocked to the living and to interact with ghostly entities. This is justified and even lampshaded in game — when you go down, the Bees (the same ones that give your your powers) whisk you away to save you, and the first major villain you face actually says that he can't kill you because, unless he grinds you down to atoms — which he honestly doesn't have time to do — you'll just come back again. So instead he traps you in a large underground library while he proceeds with his plans. Other savvy villains who know of your powers follow suit, the technique ultimately reaching its zenith when Lilith just slices your legs off and leaves you to it.

There are plenty of Lovecraftian beasties that can be slain by the player characters, especially among the upper ranks of the Draug, and the secret societies have all become quite adept at fighting Cthuluesque monstrosities over the centuries. However, it eventually becomes clear that things like the ur-Draug and the Unutterable Lurker are ultimately small potatoes in comparison to the overarching menace of the game, the Dreamers. The only thing capable of keeping them asleep are the Gaia Engines, artifacts created by beings hovering somewhere between angels and Humanoid Abomination; if the Dreamers ever escaped from captivity, nothing in the world could ever stop them. How do we know this? Because Lilith accidentally woke up one of them, and it stayed awake just long enough to end the world before nodding off again. And if Issue 14 is any evidence, the destruction was so thorough that the universe itself had to be reset just to recover from it!

However, the most impressive of these is The Black Signal. Despite ostensibly representing The Filth, John never tries to mislead the player in his lore entries and is responsible for the player being able to enter Tokyo. He's even working to open the way to the Orochi Tower so that the player can take out Lilith, their common enemy. All through this, he's as friendly as can be. Many of the customers and shopkeepers in the underground market of London are of the various species that you'll be fighting elsewhere, including a giant mud golem.

The vampire general Hasdatean has betrayed the current generation of vampires to become a questgiver, and regards them as short-sighted psychopaths with no respect for the land that sheltered them. He's also willing to admit how much his kind need humans to survive, and sees no point in a wampiry nation: after all, how would such a country survive without humans?

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: The game's not immune to mechanics that only work in video games, and violate Suspension of Disbelief: Sabotage missions tend to be loaded up with ridiculously powered mobs unique to the mission who are Nigh-Invulnerable, forcing the players to avoid direct confrontation because they cannot directly fight the mobs. No explanation is given for these effects, even if these mobs should logically be used elsewhere (i.e. Bank Heist's security drones are not only effectively unkillable, they're also mass-produced drones assigned to a bank, rather than the company HQ less than a mile away). Alternately, the questgiver casually gives out high explosives to lay traps for the enemy to cross over, but refuses access on other missions, even if more vital. The Cost of Magic, for the most part, avoids this, with the questgiver sending the player into difficult terrain to fight fortified enemies. Tier 4, however, has the player search for the questgiver's stash of magic items, hidden from their enemies. How did she hide these goods? Behind a mix of Temporary Platforms and Floating Platforms. Even aside from the game's dodgy Jump Physics and the scarcity of these mechanics elsewhere in the game, this pretends that some of the more muscular werewolves could not make these leaps, or that the larger vampires aren't tall enough to reach these platforms from the ground.

A quest might require the player to use in-game clues to find the entrance to a secret lair, then solve various logic puzzles, and then look up a particular reference to a classic Latin work to get the correct code. Another quest might have a segment where Morse code needs to be transcribed and translated to reveal map coordinates for where to go next.. Guide Dang It!: Some of these puzzles are difficult more because of the obtuse user interface than the mental effort involved. Of particular note is a quest that requires activating a series of ritual circles by clicking on about a dozen runes in a specific order. Aside from one circle that is (thankfully) on a wall, pretty much any angle that allows you to see the whole circle at once will also cause some of the hitboxes for runes on the far side to overlap, making accurately clicking on the right rune much trickier than is truly reasonable.

Illuminati PCs can even be informed "I don't want you to think this is an endless, thankless task, but keep doing it." By contrast, Abdel Daoud of the Atenists spends most of his time lounging around in a coffeehouse while his brainwashed cultists do all the work, something his Dragon-in-Chief gives him no end of sass for. In Transylvania, player characters are pitted against Her Majesty Mara, queen of all vampires. Befitting her rank, she doesn't have to work with her hands and has numerous lieutenants to lead the troops on her behalf, especially since any real work was polished off decades ago. And unlike Beaumont and Doud, she doesn't even feel the need to budge from her position in Dracula's castle until you arrive to challenge her. It's actually an early hint that she's just a puppet to Lilith, the much more dangerous and more active true villain of the Transylvania arc. The Tokyo Arc pits player characters against the Black Signal, AKA John. Despite his loyalty to the Dreamers, he doesn't actually seem to have much interest in doing anything apart from playing sadistic pranks on the locals and exchanging friendly banter with you. It's eventually revealed that he's procrastinating: his mission is to kill Lilith, but he's so scared of her that he's making every excuse possible to not face her — to the point that he tries to pit you against her. As such, it's a very big deal when he finally takes charge of the situation, gets Lilith out of the picture, and becomes an independent menace.

It turns out that the weirdness of the island is due in no small part due to the Gaia Engine hidden under it - either causing the oddities directly or attracting the supernatural to it, most commonly in the form of greedy Secret Worlders who Dug Too Deep.

Of particular note is a quest that requires activating a series of ritual circles by clicking on about a dozen runes in a specific order. Aside from one circle that is (thankfully) on a wall, pretty much any angle that allows you to see the whole circle at once will also cause some of the hitboxes for runes on the far side to overlap, making accurately clicking on the right rune much trickier than is truly reasonable.

Early in the game, when the crisis is still mostly under control, Agartha's giant tree is intact, with Custodians patrolling the branches and the whole place lit by welcoming golden light. In Issue #7, it's found that the portal to Tokyo is leaking Filth, leaving an entire branch overtaken by Ominous Obsidian Ooze, a sure sign that the Dreamers are gaining strength. Then, a quirk in time results in the player ending up in a Bad Future in which Agartha has been completely ruined: the portals are inactive, the golden light is gone, the branches are encrusted with giant glowing fungi, and the roof has been torn open to reveal an unchanging night sky lit only by a red giant star - normally only seen in the Dreaming Prison. With this level of destruction, there's no need to venture beyond the Hollow Earth: if the Dreamers have gotten this far, it's obvious that they've already won and the world is essentially dead.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_745760ee	comment	Polar Madness: The mission to the Carpathian Mountains reveals that the Morninglight lodge has been snowed in, leaving the inhabitants unable to escape when the local vampires turned on them. By the time you get up there, there's only two survivors - Rada Nastase and Adrian Zorlescu - and both of them are visibly cracking under the strain: Rada's Stepford Smiler exterior is beginning to break down under the influence of cult-issued sedatives and alcohol, while her attempts to play at being a socialite often dissolve into terrified confessions, despairing monologues, sobbing breakdowns and even precognitive episodes. Meanwhile, witness statements have painted Adrian as a bully and a sadist, but he's kept it hidden for the most part; now, with nobody around to hold him back and no reason to give a damn about orders anymore, he can be found casually threatening Rada's life, allowing her to mix drugs with alcohol despite the side-effects, barely reacting to the player's warnings and giving every impression of being amused by the carnage going on around them. Heavily implied to be the case during the mission to Tokyo: collected lore on the Gugne mentions a Norwegian icebreaker sent deep into Antarctica to retrieve something from deep beneath the ice. Whatever the crew found, the process of retrieving it and the dark Antarctic environment terrified them with "memories too deep for the poor crew to have ever fathomed," and their existences becoming "short horror stories." They were able to bring the find to Tokyo, but it's implied that the process either drove them mad or killed them - or both - for by the time you get there, the ship has been abandoned in the harbour, and no sign remains of their mysterious prize. The item they found is a Gaia Engine, one of the legendary prisons of the Dreaming Ones, and it's been hidden deep under Orochi Tower for safekeeping.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_7583ecbf	type	Morality Kitchen Sink
The Secret World (Video Game) / int_7583ecbf	comment	Morality Kitchen Sink: The player factions: The demon-purging Templars. Though they've progressed from their earlier days — in which they were widely known for burning down entire villages to kill a single demon — they are still extremely militant in nature, not to mention starkly traditionalist — something which has actually caused a certain degree of conflict within the faction as more liberal recruits try to change their faction's less-than-polite attitudes towards certain bloodlines. In the field, Templar agents are encouraged to avoid trying to save the world "on a case-by-case basis", and if this means leaving the entire surviving population of Kingsmouth to die or using the Illuminati's own Living Battery techniques, so be it. However, as the game progresses, the Templar become increasingly enthusiastic about their agents' world-saving ways, and are the "whitest" faction. The power-brokering, Ultra-capitalist Illuminati. The Illuminati way is to seize control, no-matter who you have to take out to get it. As for their approach to civilians, at least the Templars have a certain degree of compassion for the inhabitants of Kingsmouth: the Illuminati are almost entirely without sympathy or compassion. On the upside, violence is a last resort; it's preferable to use blackmail, bribery, and backroom politics to achieve the Illuminati's goals, and whatever their other faults, they aren't hypocrites; if you're competent and loyal, say the Illuminati, you're as accepted as any other agent. The destabilizing Dragon. The Dragon are unique in that they show no plans to 'rule' the world as such, but instead cause chaos to understand the underlying mathematical system upon which Chaos operates and manipulate it toward their version of a better world — while unclear, they seem to dislike stagnation the most. Agents are given "free will within parameters" and probably have the greatest degree of variety of personal beliefs; The Dragon will assign people based on whoever they predict will, left to their own devices, produce the outcome they want. Of course, they also take their cues from a perpetually-reincarnating, prophetic eight-year-old child... The NPC Factions: The Brotherhood of Phoenician Sailors (aka 'The Phoenicians') who were a former ally — of sorts — to the other three factions before getting the political shaft one too many times. They're widely regarded as pirates, thieves, and mercenaries, but even the uptight Templars admit they have their uses... for the right price. The multinational Orochi Group, which controls a satellite company in every industry on every continent, which even the Illuminati admit is impressive. They're also well-known for charity work and highly-valued contributions to medical science, guaranteeing a good reputation in the legitimate world. They appear to be relatively new to 'The Secret War', as some of their actions thus far have shown, but they've also been keeping tabs on the spread of the Filth throughout Solomon Island and Egypt — for reasons that their operatives refuse to elaborate upon. Lore entries suggest that their many satellite companies are up to no good, ranging from sinister occult research to full-blown political conspiracies, and it's implied that they aren't averse to leaving both the locals and their own research teams to die once their field work's over. The Morninglight, which is one part Church of Happyology, one part modern-day Cult of Personality, and probably has the most to hide... The Council of Venice isn't so much a 'faction' as a Secret World equivalent to the United Nations, including having their own peace-keeping force (which even wears blue berets). The council was formed with good intentions, but has become so bogged down in bureaucracy that even the Templars admit they're only good from keeping the Secret War from spilling out into the streets. In Egypt, you meet The Kingdom, a faction of mummified, undead Merchant Princes from the age of the pharaohs. They're Only in It for the Money, and offer no loyalty (well, no permanent loyalty) to any of the factions; for good measure, they're major players in Egypt's criminal underworld. Their only saving grace is that they're slightly more civilized and refined than either the Illuminati or the Phoenicians. Your contact within The Kingdom (SÃ¤id) appears to be taking immortality well, given how much he enjoys his Armani suit and IPhone... among other vices he refuses to elaborate upon. The Dreaming Ones are probably the blackest group in the game, with their end goal being rewriting reality through the Filth, and to finally wake up from their imposed slumber in this new reality and then take control. Their promises of power — and threats if you reject their offers — show much of their true nature.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_77a495f1	comment	Historical Badass Upgrade: The Illuminati is an enormously powerful organization run like a corporation that secretly controls the Americas. It has surveillance everywhere, and uses every manipulative trick in the book, from simple blackmail to brokering deals with demons to controlling the Internet, to reach its goals. Historically, the Illuminati was a short-lived secret society of intellectuals in the 18th century that was dedicated to humanist issues. The society disbanded less than ten years after its formation due to internal strife and the introduction of laws outlawing secret societies. The Knights Templar, now known as just the Templars, is a military powerhouse that secretly rules all of Europe. They are very proud of their thousand-year-long history to the point that they barely bother to remain secret, and can tackle almost any problem just by throwing resources at it. Historically, the Knights Templar was a military order and early Christian banking organization during the Crusades. They were formally disbanded by the Pope almost two hundred years after their formation after a long decline in power as Christian influence in the Middle East waned.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_78a96b71	comment	Safely Secluded Science Center: During the Cold War, the Red Hand set up numerous research facilities across the wilderness of Romania, both for the sake of secrecy and safety. One of the less prominent ones was a small holding facility hidden under Hatchet Falls, deep in the rarely-travelled forests beyond Harbaburesti: this place was used to house the vampire Janos Dragosani as part of a program to use vampires for the space program. Since then, it's been abandoned, rediscovered and repurposed by the Orochi Group - though Dragosani is still alive within the purpose-made holding cell. Another notable one is Facility 9, a training ground for "Phantom Cosmonauts" situated in an observatory not far from the isolated hamlet of Harbaburesti. Here, the Red Hand hoped to use Anima and the Filth to create superpowered explorers who could travel not just into space, but into other dimensions. Naturally, everything went wrong and the program was shut down... though one of the most successful Phantom Cosmonauts is still active, unfortunately. The most prominent of the Red Hand bases was Facility 10 AKA "The Slaughterhouse," a colossal underground bunker burrowing deep under the Carpathian Mountains: here, the Soviets were attempting to create vampire super-soldiers with the aid of Mara - up until the project spiralled out of control and forced the government to seal off the entire complex. Unfortunately, the complex proved a little too self-sufficient to be starved out; it's still active today. The Orochi Group have continued in this vein by building a secret research base of their own in the mountains, concealed under a dam. Known as the Nursery, it was established for the purposes of studying some of the most dangerous phenomena of the Secret World, including werewolf shapeshifting, demonic possession, ghosts, and even the Filth. Though safety was a key consideration, secrecy is even more important to the Nursery, because the test subjects are all kidnapped children - chosen specifically to see how all these horrific phenomena react to the young.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_7d5d32db	comment	As a result of being at the very epicentre of the Filth bomb used in Tokyo, John Copley transcends physical existence altogether and becomes a minor Eldritch Abomination known as the Black Signal. Now part of the Dreamers' collective but unbound by the Gaia Engines that normally keep them under control, he is capable of creating bodies out of pure Filth, speaking in Brown Notes that induce spontaneous suicide in listeners, and manipulating technology in any way he pleases - to the point that he's actually able to hack the game's lore entries so he can talk to you.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_7f38c0cd	comment	An Offer You Can't Refuse: All three factions use different variants of this trope when recruiting you. The Templars play with it by merely issuing an invitation. You're entirely free to refuse, and the Templars will do nothing to force you to join... but it's made clear that you won't last long without help, and the Templars only help their own. The Illuminati more or less tell you that you're drafted, and give you a place to go and a time to be there — or else. Most extreme of all, the Dragon literally kidnap you with magical chloroform, and you wake up in Seoul with no money and no way of getting home except through them (in theory you have a chance to walk out, but as the NPC recruiter explains to you, "sooner or later, they all go upstairs").

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_83a903f6	comment	The mission to the Carpathian Mountains reveals that the Morninglight lodge has been snowed in, leaving the inhabitants unable to escape when the local vampires turned on them. By the time you get up there, there's only two survivors - Rada Nastase and Adrian Zorlescu - and both of them are visibly cracking under the strain: Rada's Stepford Smiler exterior is beginning to break down under the influence of cult-issued sedatives and alcohol, while her attempts to play at being a socialite often dissolve into terrified confessions, despairing monologues, sobbing breakdowns and even precognitive episodes. Meanwhile, witness statements have painted Adrian as a bully and a sadist, but he's kept it hidden for the most part; now, with nobody around to hold him back and no reason to give a damn about orders anymore, he can be found casually threatening Rada's life, allowing her to mix drugs with alcohol despite the side-effects, barely reacting to the player's warnings and giving every impression of being amused by the carnage going on around them.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_851dda8f	comment	Issue #11 brings the Tokyo arc to an end with a massive assault on Orochi Tower and a second confrontation with Lilith, during which her true nature and plans are revealed — she's a First Age human turned Humanoid Abomination through a marriage to a Fallen Angel, intent on Hijacking Cthulhu with the Gaia Engines and the Morninglight. Then, just as it looks like Lilith might be ready to make an alliance with you and maybe force the Filth out of Kaidan, the Nephilim swoop in and carry her away. Good news, you end up with new powers as a result of your choices in the original story mode. Bad news, the Black Signal is free from Tokyo, the only person who might have a plan to stop the Filth is gone, and Samuel Chandra AKA The Angel Samael is pissed at you for getting his wife kidnapped — and has you framed as one of the Tokyo Bombers for it. The wham is doubled for Dragon players: the Child has matured into a teenager; Bong Cha is dismissed as Voice of the Dragon and memory-wiped; finally, the new Voice of the Dragon is Daimon Kyota, signifying a massive change in approach for the Dragon. Finally, this major victory for the Dragon has sent the leadership of both the Templars and the Illuminati into an uproar as everyone involved is trying to blame each other for allowing this to happen. The Templar Old Guard unleash Pit and Pendulum to punish Sonnac for not anticipating the Dragon's movements while also warning the player that their rapid rise in the ranks has the entire Old Guard on edge. Meanwhile, the Talking Heads are very disappointed in Geary and the Illuminati player, and given that their failure in Egypt is still being held against them, its clear that they're now on dangerously thin ice.

When one of the cult's suicide bombers unleashed the Filth on Kaidan, triggering an emergency quarantine of the district, the Morninglight leadership decided it would be safest if the members remained inside and repurposed the clubhouse as a shelter. Unfortunately, problems began cropping up almost immediately: Morninglight VIPs abandoned ship once they realized nobody was coming to rescue them; food ran out after a week, resulting in cannibalism after fourteen days; then it turned out that the clubhouse's defences couldn't keep out the Black Signal, who started torturing the kids over the PA system; then the Filth itself began infecting the residents. By the time you get there, almost everyone is dead or infected.

Most egregiously, all of the rather straightforward instructions in the tutorial are replaced by overtly flowery metaphors.

To top that off, bee magic works substantially differently from everyone else's — you are connected directly to the Gaia Engines and are a living conduit of anima, so you can skip all of the 'raising power' steps and move straight to execution. This is why the players can easily pick up supernaturally-empowered combat styles that normally require a lifetime of dedication in a matter of hours, and why blood magic rituals that take most wizards weeks of work at minimum come with a hand-gesture and the simple possession of a book with the ritual written in it. And anima is also Exactly What It Says on the Tin, so bees can also pretty casually use any ritual or technological device someone else has prepared or constructed, including lost technology...

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_8ff96703	comment	Subterranean Sanity Failure: Almost every single underground area in the game will feature people losing their minds at some point: Blue Ridge Mine was struck by one of several disasters in 1979 when several miners began turning up dead of foul play. Despite accusations leveled against the local Wabanaki, it eventually became clear that the murders could only have been committed by fellow miners, courtesy of something in the mine itself driving them insane. As it turns out, the cause is actually the Gaia Engine under the mountain... and the Dreamer imprisoned within it. In Egypt, the Atenist sacred site known as the Ankh is essentially a huge underground temple dug by the Pharoah Akhenaten in order to access a reservoir of the Filth. Atenist pilgrims would often descend into the Ankh itself in order to expose themselves to it, gradually driving themselves insane from Filth exposure the deeper they went. A few of these ancient cultists remain in the lake of Filth at the bottom of the Ankh, all of them are insane to point of no longer possessing human identity. In the present, Dr Klein has followed in their footsteps by growing so obsessed with the Filth in these underground chambers that he was willing to use it as a drug, slowly going even crazier in the process. The underground Roman Baths in the Carpathian Mountains were initially built to serve the needs of a Cult Colony worshipping Deus Sol Invictus; however, the Romans quickly found that the hot springs they thought would feed the baths were actually a wellspring of the Filth. Almost everyone in the community ended up being infected and driven mad: mutated into Filth shades, many they still congregate in the ruins of the bathhouse today. Not too far away, another Gaia Engine is buried in one of the mountains. A visit to Tokyo reveals that Sarah has been trapped in the ruined subways of Kaidan District ever since the terrorist attack during the game's intro. Since then, her proximity to all the eldritch weirdness going on down in the subways has left her mind stuck on an endless replay of her first day there - hence the Justified Tutorial that players experience at the start of the game. Because she hasn't been able to escape the subways or the effects, she's teetering on the brink of madness by the time you meet her again, and her diary entries indicate that she's barely been able to maintain a grip on her own identity as a result of her experiences.

Granted authority and resources beyond any normal Soviet institution, the group imbued test subjects with Anima and the Filth to create "Phantom Cosmonauts," brainstormed the possibility of using vampires in the space program, tested methods of travelling into the Hell Dimensions, and even made a pact with the infamous vampire queen Mara to create vampire/human hybrid Super Soldiers. Most of these programs ended in cataclysmic success. Of course, the Red Hand collapsed alongside the Soviet Union, but some of their labs in Romania are still active - most prominently Facility 10 AKA "The Slaughterhouse", a self-sufficient laboratory where the super-soldier program continues, though the scientists running the program have all been converted into vampires and all of them are working for Mara by now. The Red Hand is so secretive that even after thirty years spent defunct, the other secret societies are still surprised by the things you can unearth from their bases.

They were building a Native American Casino (shaped like a tipi that they themselves knew was inaccurate, but that was what the tourists expected) before the Fog arrived and they also have an "authentic Wabanaki village" that serves as a tacky tourist trap. However, most of the native residents actually live in a trailer park.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f	comment	Luck-Based Mission: The Ur-Draug battle at the end of "Polaris" turns into a crapshoot if the group doesn't do enough damage to skip the "blue" phase; it's virtually impossible to figure out if he's about to smash the rock the group is hiding behind, it happens so fast that coordination if someone does see it requires voice communication and thus can't be done with a pick-up-group, and moving to a different hiding spot gives the boss plenty of time to kill at least one group member with the attack everyone is hiding behind the rock from in the first place. The Machine Tyrant at the end of "Hell Raised"; even with a high-geared, experienced group, a lot can go wrong in this fight very quickly. Success depends on the Machine Tyrant not applying his group-wide damage effects faster than the group can remove them, whether or not the tracking AOEs move in directions that cut players off from escaping them, whether or not the anima fountain spawns behind the tank instead of behind the damage dealersnote This can easily result in the latter's death if they aren't quick on their feet, and whether or not the fountain spawns near the tank as well as spawning on time. Even if you manage to compensate for these things and survive, doing so can reduce the damage dealers' time on target so much that they can't bring the boss down before the time limit expires even if their damage is more than enough on paper. The Facility dungeon has several bosses who return high damage if an attack glances. It's possible to have high enough stats to never glance, but gearing for this specifically will result in a substandard build for anything else. Most players will run with almost enough hit rating to never glance, throw on passive buffs to increase it as the fights go on, and hope for no misses while waiting for those buffs to take effect.

Samuel Chandra's face can be seen plastered on magazines and posters even before you realize the Orochi Group isn't just background flavor. One of the very first things a fresh Illuminati player can do is talk to Doctor Zurn, who mentions that he would love to get a good look at the player's bee, but he's unwilling to cross the lines required for that to happen. Dragon players are also warned in an early mission debrief to never let Orochi take them alive, because They Would Cut You Up. Come Issue #11, it turns out Orochi is happy to cross that line. Very early in the story is a villain who accounts for the player's immortality when dealing with them; he isn't the last. The Cult of the Aten and Roman Cult of Deus Sol Invictus in Egypt, telling the player to be wary of Sun Cults. The storyline covered over three dungeons about stopping the Hell Dimensions from invading doesn't have much of anything to do with the main plot, looking like more of a sidequest than most of the actual sidequests. The final boss of the storyline is a fallen angel, one that the bees say is a Nephilim. They also speak of him as a force to be reckoned with, which is backed up by the fact that it takes five of Gaia's Chosen to take him down. In another lore section, they note that not even they know Lilith's hidden eighteenth name, only the Nephilim do. Sure enough, the next time you see Nephilim, they have you outnumbered instead of the other way around, leaving them free to ignore you while they bind Lilith with her eighteenth name.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_9f63d4f1	comment	Our Vampires Are Different: The Wampiry are predominantly human in appearance, and benefit from the usual boosts in strength and speed; however, most are little more than Mooks. Elders are much more difficult to deal with, being capable of escaping battle by transforming into bats and — given enough time and power — are even capable of recovering from being staked, though according to Hasdatean, it hurts a lot. Actually killing vampires is fairly simple, given that most of their traditional weaknesses were myths spread by vampires themselves: they have no apparent weakness to holy symbols — judging by Hasdatean's presence in the church; most can be destroyed by gunfire or magic, and stakes are only required in the case of elders. Vulnerable to the sun as always, Wampiry tend to dress in skin-concealing coats and gas-masks, and only elders are resilient enough to bare skin in daylight. However, according to the Bees, vampires aren't actually immortals: it's just that their lifespans are so incredibly long that it's popularly assumed that this is the case, and besides, vampires live such violent lives that few if any die of natural causes. They were actually created by Lilith.

In the present, Nicholas Winter is left baffled as to why his now-deceased father considered Atlantic Island Park important enough to become his legacy, even bequeathing it to Nicholas to restore. The twist is that it's not a legacy at all: Nathaniel Winter actually built the park as a means of seizing immortality, using guests as fuel for machines that would harvest power from the island and imbue him with it. Now transformed into a monstrous Bogeyman haunting the grounds, Winter presumably wants Nicholas to restore the park so that he can prey on the visitors it will receive.

Known as the Nursery, it was established for the purposes of studying some of the most dangerous phenomena of the Secret World, including werewolf shapeshifting, demonic possession, ghosts, and even the Filth. Though safety was a key consideration, secrecy is even more important to the Nursery, because the test subjects are all kidnapped children - chosen specifically to see how all these horrific phenomena react to the young.

On one of the office whiteboards, the employee in question has written down the titles of several past issues of The Secret World, from issue seven through to eleven. There's even an attempt to write the title for the as-yet-unreleased Issue #12 — which abruptly breaks into a manic scrawl of "OH GOD I CAN SEE FOREVER".

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_ab27d196	comment	In Egypt, the Atenist sacred site known as the Ankh is essentially a huge underground temple dug by the Pharoah Akhenaten in order to access a reservoir of the Filth. Atenist pilgrims would often descend into the Ankh itself in order to expose themselves to it, gradually driving themselves insane from Filth exposure the deeper they went. A few of these ancient cultists remain in the lake of Filth at the bottom of the Ankh, all of them are insane to point of no longer possessing human identity. In the present, Dr Klein has followed in their footsteps by growing so obsessed with the Filth in these underground chambers that he was willing to use it as a drug, slowly going even crazier in the process.

A quest has you meet Carter, the surviving student who tells you that she's tougher than she looks, as she goes to clear out the basement. Though she's not quite invulnerable, she is capable of handling the enemies, though you can still pitch in in a few fights. She, however, has control issues: She really needs you around just to be there, and the heavier stuff in her arsenal is entirely indiscriminate. The critical step in this mission is to first develop defenses against her and to be ready to use them.

The Buzzing implies that unless they are killed deliberately, they will survive "until the heat death of the universe". However, Word of God states despite our immortality the Bees won't stop aging, it will just happen incredibly slowly. Certain NPCs enjoy their own forms of immortality (or not): Khalid and Ptahmose are — at the very least — ageless, though its implied that they're much more; the Sentinels have Complete Immortality, as nobody has worked out how to destroy them completely; SÃ¤id and the rest of the Kingdom are all undead, being mummies, though it's implied that there are ways of killing them off for good; vampire elders have a certain degree of Regenerative Immortality.

Furthermore, the Morninglight are intensely protective of their public image and will go to terrifying extremes to prevent anyone outside their ranks from learning their secrets from defectors — up to and including a kill-on-sight label of "Obstructive Person". Plus, they're a scam religion created by Lilith and recently converted to the worship of the Dreamers.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_cb360d4e	comment	Supernatural Hotspot Town: Solomon Island has been a hotbed of paranormal activity for centuries prior to colonization, and by the 21st century, its central settlement of Kingsmouth has become infamous for unusual occurrences. Among other things, it features The Illuminati's premier Wizarding School, an abandoned Amusement Park of Doom run by a Bogeyman, a Haunted House once home to a wrongfully accused witch, a literal Hell Hotel, forests infested with Wendigos and Sasquatches, farmlands patrolled by a serial-killing Plant Person, and an Abandoned Mine that seems to bring doom on anyone trying to reopen it... and this was all present before the Zombie Apocalypse hit Solomon Island. It turns out that the weirdness of the island is due in no small part due to the Gaia Engine hidden under it - either causing the oddities directly or attracting the supernatural to it, most commonly in the form of greedy Secret Worlders who Dug Too Deep. Harbaburesti, a small Romanian hamlet, has been surrounded by the supernatural since the reign of Vlad Dracula. Among other things, there's an ancient shapeshifting wise woman watching over the town, the area is dotted with derelict Soviet-era laboratories that were testing everything from vampire super-soldiers to "phantom cosmonauts," and the nearby forest is home to all manner of entities including fauns, gnomes, and even a god. By the time you arrive, of course, a vampire army is besieging Harbaburesti and the previously secret entities have been forced out into the open in defence of the town. Perhaps not so surprisingly, there's a Gaia Engine in the Carpathian Mountains just beyond the forest.

Indeed, SÃ¤id's biggest concern is the cost of rebuilding once the Atenists are finally put down, to the point that he's already suggesting using the disaster as a loss leader so his fellow mummies can recoup their losses. Even his shame over the indirect role he played in the Tokyo Incident is motivated less by remorse for all the people killed as a result of his dealings with the Morninglight and more by a need to erase an embarrassing mistake from his resume. In fact, SÃ¤id's so detached that he spends most of his time on the balcony of the abandoned Hotel Wahid rather than among his allies in al-Merayah... and the hotel is infested with ravenous ghouls who have already slaughtered the mortal staff.

As such, it's not long before they begin devastating the already-beleaguered environment, dominating local forests, pushing the Sasquatch to the brink of extinction and overwhelming any human efforts to oppose them.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_dd7cfe55	type	Apophenia Plot
The Secret World (Video Game) / int_dd7cfe55	comment	Apophenia Plot: Given the setting, The Secret World includes a few of these: Dave Screed is rightly afraid of the Illuminati, but lacks the ability to distinguish between the real information he's managed to unearth, the utter nonsense fed to him by Illuminati sources, and his own paranoid delusions, leading him to several false conclusions. For example, he's under the impression that the Illuminati have replaced his girlfriend with an android so he can be kept under surveillance, which he justifies through a number of bizarre details, including the number of times she went to the bathroom in a day, her use of the Kama Sutra in bed, and the fact that she was poking fun at the latest conspiracy theory . The kicker? Screed is being kept under Illuminati surveillance... by one of the members of his D&D group, who Screed doesn't even suspect. This fellow gamer turns out to be the Illuminati sysadmin. In the mission "Dead Stories," your exploration of the FNF Clubhouse in Tokyo uncovers an angry note written by one of the young recruits; with the kids sealed inside the complex for their own safety in the wake of the terrorist bombing, the author is convinced that the entire Clubhouse was set up by Facebook in order to study the recruits, even believing that the dwindling food supplies and increasingly gloomy news reports have all been faked in order for Facebook to improve their algorithms. The note ends with the writer making a beeline for the Clubhouse's VIP area with the intentions of "bringing the fury" to Mark Zuckerberg. By now, of course, the player knows that the Clubhouse is actually run by a doomsday cult in service to godlike mollusks from beyond time and space. By the time you get there, the place is overrun by the Filth and everyone's dead or infected, so you can guess how well the attempt to bring the fury went.

Surprisingly, they actually have had quite a bit of success in the past, though the Lore entries reveal that their initial successes were largely due to having an Innsmouth Academy student in their ranks and up until comparatively recently, it took a lot of effort to get them to allow girls into the league.

Secret Worlders who haven't been touched by "The Buzzing" or inherited magic need to learn spells through Rule Magic, which can take years to master. Meanwhile, the Illuminati have taken Device Magic to an artform in crafting various Magitek objects to control or enhance magical processes: Lore entries mention imprisoning demons inside specially-made hard drives, Dr. Zurn provides a full-body workout for your powers and a flashback to the Tokyo incident with a simple injection, and the faculty at Innsmouth Academy reinforce their wards with W.A.N.D. anima devices.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b	comment	Gameplay and Story Integration: In most online games, characters not being permanently killable is ignored — you can always be resurrected, but enemies you kill will generally stay that way. Player characters in The Secret World are routinely acknowledged in dialogue to be deathless, because of their supernatural empowerment. Enemies complain about being unable to do away with you permanently, and ticked-off allies call in the heavy sorcerers to threaten the death penalty. Some puzzles even involve deliberately dying to explore as a ghost or escape from a trap. Unlike many online games which have every single character doing the same quests that would realistically only ever have been done once with no one mentioning the fact, mission completion dialogues in TSW occasionally reference the fact that you're not the only one being sent on these particular missions ("I'm sure one of you will get it right eventually"-type responses after "successfully" completed tasks). You may think that doing MMO-typical chores in a modern-set game where you're working for a secret organization would be Gameplay and Story Segregation, but this can actually be justified as a way to collect data and extend your faction's influence. In a few sidequests which may seem to be either irrelavant with your job or redundant with previous quests, Mission Control sometimes chastitized you during the debriefing, because of the waste of time.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_e794cb54	comment	Powered by a Forsaken Child: Quite a few magical rituals used in the game or its backstory require particularly gruesome materials or conditions in order to work properly; given the Grey-and-Grey Morality at work in this game, quite a few of the perpetrators are still considered the player's allies. For example, Innsmouth University is outfitted with magical power reserves that supply the Illuminati staff with additional mana- channelled from the magicians who'd been buried alive in the foundations, all of whom are still aware and conscious; in one mission, the player is given the task of sealing a few escapees back into the wards in order to prevent any further occult disasters. Also from Innsmouth, the protective wards require sacrifices of Anima in their construction. Thankfully, due to the sheer number of feral familiars roaming the grounds, no morally-ambiguous deaths are required this time. It's eventually revealed that the Atlantic Island Amusement Park was constructed as part of one of these, harvesting magical power from the deaths of workers and children alike, and infusing the energies into Nathaniel Winter- transforming him into the Boogeyman. The Sentinels were created through one of these: with no other way to keep the Black Pharoah sealed inside his Pyramid, Ptahmose sacrificed his children and transferred their souls into seven giant statues designed to keep Akhenaten imprisoned for all time. For good measure, the youngest of the seven were under ten years old at the time.

Because a broken neck can only nod, the crow eats "all of the sweet jelly out of the swinging stiff's skull-windows".

By contrast, the vampire generals she's attempting to undermine can shapeshift into bats, usually in order to escape foes they can't easily defeat.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_f52cc7b8	comment	Entropy and Chaos Magic: In this game, Chaos Magic is eclectic, one third Reality Warper, one third Gravity Master, and one third Spontaneous Weapon Creation. Spells in this category are used for crowd control, drawing aggro, and inflicting status effects, and have names mostly themed after mathematical concepts, specifically physics and probability. Stylistically, it also strongly resembles East Asian martial arts, making it something of an unofficial wuxia path.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_f9439c84	comment	Haunted House: What happens when you shun a woman for practicing witchcraft, then whip out the Torches and Pitchforks when some kids get mauled by wild animals on her property, and then, just to piss her off even more, do the exact opposite of her burial wishes? You get the Black House. A house so evil that even a hardened monster hunter refuses to go into. And for good reason too. Just trying to approach the front door gets you thrown about twenty feet away, and if you do manage to get in, you're greeted with ghostly shapes moving through the place, bleeding walls, tortured wailing, and the house itself trying to kill you. The Franklin Mansion has a dark history and plenty of ghosts, but said ghosts are generally pretty benign, and the mansion is, in fact, one of the safest places on Blue Mountain.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_fbc074c3	comment	The Bees — people who have a connection with the insects of the same name — are very difficult to kill, and the Player Characters are counted among their numbers. They can die, but their anima form (soul) just gets back up at the nearest Anima Well (a sort of fountain of raw magic) where it can either just spawn a new body, or hike its incorporeal form back to the old body and revive that. The Buzzing implies that unless they are killed deliberately, they will survive "until the heat death of the universe". However, Word of God states despite our immortality the Bees won't stop aging, it will just happen incredibly slowly.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299	comment	The demon-purging Templars. Though they've progressed from their earlier days — in which they were widely known for burning down entire villages to kill a single demon — they are still extremely militant in nature, not to mention starkly traditionalist — something which has actually caused a certain degree of conflict within the faction as more liberal recruits try to change their faction's less-than-polite attitudes towards certain bloodlines. In the field, Templar agents are encouraged to avoid trying to save the world "on a case-by-case basis", and if this means leaving the entire surviving population of Kingsmouth to die or using the Illuminati's own Living Battery techniques, so be it. However, as the game progresses, the Templar become increasingly enthusiastic about their agents' world-saving ways, and are the "whitest" faction.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_fec6ea72	comment	Blood-Splattered Innocents: Carter, the last surviving student of Innsmouth Academy, still wearing a blood-splattered hoodie and still looking mildly traumatized. Perhaps played with, since Solomon Island apparently went to hell around Halloween (jack-o'-lanterns and other decorations litter the houses and other buildings). The shadows under her eyes are a bit dark to be biological, and the blood around her mouth is a staple of Halloween costumes. Given that no one else on the island (still living) is covered in anywhere near as much blood as she is, it's possible that she had just prepared an amusingly prophetic costume for the holiday.

The Secret World (Video Game) / int_fed944ed	comment	Common Character Classes: Zig-zagged; play for long enough and you will eventually learn every ability, max out every skill and have endgame-level gear of every type. Players in groups are required to fulfill a tank, healer or damage dealer archetype, but there is significant wiggle-room in how this can be done. It's virtually impossible to accomplish everything with a single build even for a player sticking to one role. Leech healing for groups is entirely viable and in many cases more efficient than direct healing, as the healer is also a damage dealer and will help bring the bosses down faster. This can backfire in some places like "Hell Fallen" where many of the bosses have damage-reducing shields, lowering the damage the leech healer inflicts and, with it, their healing. Damage dealers are usually the players who provide needed support abilities. Particularly noticeable in "Hell Raised" where the bosses love to stack damage-over-time effects that must be cleansed off of the group. "The Facility" is often done with a self-healing tank, while the group member who would normally be the dedicated healer provides more direct damage.
