Klaww is by far my favorite Lurker. I have a theory that he magically derives his power from the molten lava. Specifically, his armor has built-in power reactors that convert the lava into magical energy and syphon it. That way, when he has enough in his reserve pack, he can bend that magic to his will within certain parameters, such as “poofing” giant flaming lava rocks out of thin air that can be launched like cannonballs or, with time and concentration, manifesting absolutely humongous flaming boulders that he was using to terrorize Rock Village

I always loved the chimes in Rock village. The idea of sitting by the fire in the main hall of Rock village while a storm rages outside and the chimes blow in the wind is oddly nice.

I just love everything about the rain. If you think the chimes make it more enjoyable along with the campfires, I won’t protest, my friend. The only thing I will say that does pose somewhat of a nuisance is a gigantic cybernetic geokinetic Minotaur throwing equally massive lava rocks

As for whether he came out of Gol and Miya's Citadel, there actually is an unused cutscene where they talk about releasing Klaww from his cage, so they do clearly control / take care of Klaww.

Agreed, Rock Village is my favorite level as well

So good! Rock Village used to be my go-to place whenever I collected all orbs and power cells, to relax in the main hall after all the hard work done. I like to think that Rock Village is also, or is preparing to be, a major, if not the most important port of the entire region, as it is easily accessible from the sea and is nearer the inland than Sandover. It being a major technological and industrial village as you say would boost even more the importance of having a lively port!

A behind the scenes segment reveals that Maya created Klaww and deliberately unleashed him onto Rock Village to intercept Jak

@derrinmaloney1039

Жыл бұрын

It was an unused cutscene, and I happened to upload this episode the very night that it was discovered so I never got to reference it in my video unfortunately!

I think that what happened was that Gol and Maia attempted to create a larger creature by mutating one of the Lurker Bunnies, but that mutant, Klaww went out of control, so they had to lock him in a cage in their Citadel until they were ready to use him to fight Jak.

On the contrary, an unused cutscene reveals that Klaww was created by Maya herself and deliberately unleashed that volcanic behemoth onto Rock Village to intercept the boys

Pretty sure Klaww is a mutated lurker given massive amounts of Dark eco and precursor technology. By his appearance you can see his armor is precursor material, possibly from stolen and shifted pieces given to claw. However he has major weakpoints and exposure due to not having all his body covered. I like to think this is from his fight with Fallen Warrior who managed to break off chunks of his armor, and upon close inspection Klawws armor is battle damaged a bit. Also, he has tubes all around his back and chest. I like to think those are eco tubes pumping darl eco into his body, which increases his size and darkens his fur color. His arm cannon is most likely a precursor weapon, given to him by Gol and Maia. Also in a cut cutscene, Gol mentions klaww is "still in his cage". This means unlike the other lurkers, Klaww is extremely aggressive and cant be controlled as easily, possibly due to all the dark eco affecting his mind

Thank you for respecting the warrior lol.

Just discovered these videos, the content is gold. As a fan of the series, wandering around the areas and thinking about their structure and the connection with the precursors is still part of the experience for me. Great ideas about the spatial analysis and the cultural geography of this world. Love how much interesting this analysis became. Great work!

I know making this type of content is very time consuming but are you planning to also do jak 2 and 3 ?

@derrinmaloney1039

3 жыл бұрын

There doesn't seem to be as many things in the environment that I can theorise about in Jak 2 and 3 due to the reduced amount of Precursor ruins and artifacts. Most of the game is human stuff, and it's hard to theorise about that because we already know exactly what the story is with them 99% of the time, whereas the Precursor stuff is often mysterious and unexplained. However they are huge games, and there is bound to be plenty I can talk about in them - for example, I could talk about Haven Cities location in the world and how it may have come to be built over time and how the technology was created, stuff that the games never tell us! So the series may not continue in the same format once I've covered The Precursor Legacy, but it will continue regardless :)
