Honestly most of the mythology is trippy and I love how they brought that in-game. I do hope to get more direct chatter between gods because it shows how much they try to respect the lore.

My favorite kill line in Smite is Kuzenbo's line towards Bacchus: "Do a pushup man, jeez!" Kuzenbo doesnt even say it mockingly he sounds genuinely upset at how weak Bacchus appeared to him

Man I kinda wish we got a Dionysus skin where they use the model from the Hades game.

Ravan and Shiva gotta be my favourite, Ravan was a very powerful demon, he was proudly flying in his vimana after defeating his brother, he came across Shiva's mountain but couldn't fly past it no matter how much he tried, so he decided to uproot the entire mountain in rage, Shiva was on the mountain being lovey dovey with his wife, Parvati. When Ravan picked up the mountain, Parvati got startled by the sudden shaking of the mountain. Shiva simply pressed his big toe on the mountain trapping Ravana under it. When Ravan realised that the power of Shiva was beyond his comprehension, he sang praises for a thousand years whilst being trapped under the mountain and became one of the biggest worshippers of Shiva receiving his boon and a cool ass sword, those praises are called Shiva Tandav Stotram now. Thats why he says another thousand years and you might still learn humility or something

@@Cra-b True, the three primordial Hindu Gods cannot disrespect each other's boon given to the worshippers. Shiva is considered to be the most easy going of all, it didn't take a lot to make him happy with his worshippers, so many demons tried to manipulate him by asking for ridiculous boons. He did give them all tho. But little did they know it was all part of a greater plan. Vishnu always found a loophole in Shiva's blessings, Because of his arrogance Ravan asked for invulnerability from both demons and gods cause he always thought of humans as being inferior, Vishnu found a loophole and took the avatar of Rama, a human. Completing the cycle of Karma and not disrespecting Shiva's boon at the same time

@@muramasa870 How? Canonically speaking, Cthulhu can wipe out any number of Gods without batting an eye and he's in the game with no issues. Part of introducing things like gods into a game is taking creative liberties and balancing them for said game. I can see Azathoth as a type of ranged healer and damage mitigater to show off his reality bending abilities, make his ult a huge damaging ability for all gods, including allies, to symbolize him stirring in his slumber and thus destroying reality. Nyrolethotep can be an assassin who's kit is based around turning into enemy gods to get close to targets before unleashing huge magical damage on a single target. There are a lot of ways you can portray the Great Old Ones pantheon and a lot of ways you can balance them too - I mean, the literal incarnation of Death is in the game and it's not breaking Smite.

Also the funny thing about the first one is that there is two Excaliburs, one was the sword in the stone, the other was given by Nimue, the one Arthur uses is the one given by Nimue, the first one he broke, but both are seen as Excalibur (though sometimes the other sword isn't given a name at all).

There is a theory that links both linguistics and the arthurian lore: the first sword was broken by a broken oath enchantment, historically, the first mention to King Arthur's sword it is given the name Caliburnus, so when the sword is remade by the fairies, the name would then change to Ex-Caliburnus, meaning that its owner could not keep a promise and literally unmade the sword this way, marking him as an oathbreaker.

6:36 Persephone was essentially given away, as Zeus gave his permission to Hades. It was considered unusual that Demeter acted the way she did, in retaliation. To be honest, Hades was probably the best god she could’ve attracted… there are much, much worse ones out there, and their marriage was the most stable. Hades even defended her honor against Thesieus and his “friend” when they tried to take her away.

Fun Fact: Cthulhu has a special quote against Heimdallr: "The Vigilant One, blind as ever. Had you seen this coming, you might have had a chance." This of course being a reference to how in the lore, no one could prepare for his arrival due to ignorance, and being a cheeky nod to Heimdallr amazing vision. But the cool little fact is that they probably made sure he said this to Heimdallr because the name of the freighter that hit Cthulhu as he was waking up... was a called the Vigilant (Heimdallr's title)

I would love to see more of these! Another idea would be just a 5-10 second lore explanation for each god, so everyone has a general idea of the lore without having to do the research or read the long god page.

Excellent! I'm always down for lore vids, especially this great format where you introduce in-game dialogue that most people miss! One thing that you still could have added here alongside the lore, is one of Set's joke lines: "My first decree will be to outlaw salads. Why? I don't have to explain myself!" I may have known most of these already ( I like reading Smite's God menu Lore pages from time to time), but man do I really love mythology lore, I can't get enough of it.

I love the Celtics gods. The Morrigan and cu chulainn. Lore wise she works against him. I'd love more celtic gods in smite.

I've been (not so) patiently waiting for Mani ever since Sol was added to the game. I know he's supposed to be the quiet, patient, tolerant one of the two, but if they did something with the game lore to give him a reason to send an avatar to the Battleground like his sister I think it'd be really cool. I already love how they did Sol, with her essentially just sending a fragment of her power to fight in her stead, and doing something similar with moonlight instead of sunfire would be gorgeous.

I wonder if we have any interactions with Ravana-Kali-Ganesha. They had a cool story together where Kalis other side Parvati basically gave Ravana a Giant totem pole to which where ever city he placed it would never fall in battle. Ravana had to carry this ridiculously large pole which weighed a ridiculous sum thousands of miles to where he wanted to place it in his Capital city. Ganesha learned of this and thought it would be funny to trick Ravana, and so he followed Ravana and acted like a kind hand and at one point offered to help Ravana resy by carrying the pillar. Ravana reluctant asked him to prove his power and thus he did lifting a mountain i believe. Ravana then greatful passed the pillar to Ganesha but Ravana didnt know he was Ganesha due to Ganesha changing his appearance, Ganesha then proceeded to instantly let go of the pillar after a laugh and if fell to the ground, and now with a rule of the pillar if it touches the ground it can not be moved from that spot. Ravana was enraged rightfully so and confronted Ganeshas Mother about the ordeal. She wasnt able to change the rule of the pillar but instead she herself proclaimed to guard Ravanas Capital City as Kali whenever she takes the form. Thus making it so only Shiva himself could hope to conquer the city while Kali guarded over it.

Definitely do more, it’s so fun!

We need more of these lore reference videos PLEASE

Brief aside about the Hades and Persephone thing? That's just one version of the myth. There is another in which she wasn't forced to eat the pomegranate seed and did so willingly because her mother was so overbearing. I think there's even one where she went with Hades willingly, rather than being kidnapped, and one where he merely offered the seed and she ate it, but didn't know that eating it meant she had to return to the Underworld. That isn't to say he forced her, at most, he tricked her. Similar to the myths of Athena and Medusa/Arachne, there is rarely one single version, but multiple versions with even the smallest changes between them.

Damn, I wish those were more common in-game. Super fun.
