That line about ‘blazing sunlight’ made me think back to what Black Swan said. “Yet that light began to burn, piercing through the clouds as a golden death. Towers crumbled, and the people fled, for the sun was soon to set and meet with vicious… destruction…” - Black Swan, ‘Fables about the Stars’
@StitchyGoblin
That’s so poetic if he’s an emanator of destruction and a demigod of creation

Man I can not wait for the 3.4 quest
@mikkomuukka1755
What really made my gears go grinding was the realization that the Stellaron promised Cocolia about the same thing as what the prophecy promised to Chrysos Heirs.
@tristhekid
It’s almost like the Flame Reaver already has the core flames. When they tried to kill him, he came back, when they tried to trap him in time, he forced his way back, when they tried to trick and outrun him, they couldn’t.
@revdrianinvian1841
Plot twist: The playable Phainon is the unmasked Flame Reaver.
@Jackal56346
You know what's interesting phainon has a yellow marking on his neck which is kind of similar one that fugue has on her neck after she was used by phantilia further hinting at his connection to destruction and his home was destroyed as well.
@dark_springtrap-z9140
I have a theory that once we reached the end of 3.4 we’ll probably be turning back time and go way back to the other flames chasers that weren’t in the current story and help them on their adventure cause when checking the book and the update number there’s still a huge part of it missing and the other flames chasers aren’t there like what happened in the first trailer of amphourous were trailblazer did something with mem and the quill
@ravitothem00n
never got this many chills with theories and facts revealed through missions as Amphoreus is giving me right now bro
@Zeke1460
0:26 to be fair, Acheron was not reminiscing about HI3. Only Welt was. Because she’s not the same Raiden Mei from HI3. She’s a different Raiden Mei who happens to look the same. Bc their lives went compleyely different and their temperaments are also different. Phainon is the same to Kevin.
@baconpwn
It's not just a Lord Ravager. It's a Lord Ravager with an Emperor's Scepter. That's an Avengers level threat
@kirbgaming8192
I honestly thought that Phainon and FR are just 2 halves, hence why Aglea mentioned that Phainon is someone "without flaw" it's because whatever the flame reaver is it's just a version of Phainon who inherits the "bad flaws" leaving the other half completely pure
@dracotias
If we go by existing Honkai lore than Amphoreus fits PERFECTLY into the mold of being a "Bubble Universe". With a hint of Elysian Realm simulation. Essentially it's the final remnants of an already dead world reliving it's "final moments" on repeat until it runs out of Imaginary energy and is devoured by The Quantum sea. However in this case we have The Emperor's Scepter which could be working as an Ether anchor which is keeping the world alive far longer than it should be. Basically imo The Flame Reaver is the "real" Phainon who's left over from before Amphoreus original death and this ENTIRE time he's been trying and failing to fix things. Ironically destroying things in an effort to preserve them which is very much along the same lines as Kevin before him but taken to another extreme.
@yeri_san5028
Another sing on Phainon being the Sun Devourer is his big sun golden tattoo, it's very similar to Tingyun's flower gold tattoo, which can imply that it was Phantylia, another Lord Ravanger.
@dan_chen
Once again you mentioned Kakamond, and you suddenly reminded me of how she expired Rubert: a scalpel to the chest. Take a look at Lygus, what does he have on his chest? Yea they even got the camera to focus on that part. Ain't no way it's just a throwaway reference
@didac360
It would be very epic if Phainon is a Emanator of Destruction but with our intervention in Amphoreus, he becomes an emanator of destruction but isn't evil. And we have him in our side now
@ItsOkayToBeThis
We can fix him.
@Zeke1460
1:26 all of these assumptions are straight up false. Lygus is the one who told us that the ravager is being “contained” here. But just like everything else Lygus has said so far, it’s a lie. If Lygus is a remnant of Rupert, it makes no sense for him to want to CONTAINT a lord ravager. Amphoreus isn’t “containing” a lord ravager. It’s CREATING one. Lygus is CREATING a lord Ravager. Lygus likely being some sort of remnant of Rupert the second’s mind who survived through the scepter. Amphoreus is a simulation being run by the scepter with the goal of attaining the perfect timeline where a lord ravager is born. Lygus is the admin running it. And my guess is that the Scepter is running on some initial starting conditions. Eg: it came to a pre-existing world, froze that world, and is running endless simulations to make that world go how it wants it to go. And then when it reaches the perfect simulation it’s gonna allow time to continue flowing and enact that perfect simulation. Though that world may have been on the verge of death due to a stellaron. And Lygus is #13. The very prophesy you mentioned at the start. 13 flamechasers. But there are only 12 coreflames. Count them. Lygus is #13. He’s the sole “witness” of genesis according to his own words. He has seen the cycles end and restart over and over. And he’s the only one who remembers any of it. Because he’s the only one witnessing the miracle of genesis. The eternal “witness.” Phainon is not who the prophesy is about. The prophesied one has always been Lygus, Phainon is just an experiment to him. And I suspect that Lygus, being some sort of derivative of Rupert, is trying to amass enough power to either become a lord ravager or make Phainon a lord ravager. Though he would still be the one controlling Phainon. But he keeps failing, which is why he has to keep looping the simulation. He needs to create the perfect conditions for Phainon to give up on trying to save everyone and make him want to destroy the world instead. He likely let the Flame Reaver (a past phainon) continue existing in the current cycle because he knew that the flame reaver would cause more mental anguish for current Phainon, making him more likely to grow angry and bitter. I think that the story of 3.0-3.3 is the final cycle of the simulation. Lygus has succeeded in making our Phainon bitter and angry. After Trailblazer and Dan Heng leave the planet, Lygus is gonna end the simulation and try to recreate the events of the final cycle, but this time in reality. Which is why at the end of 3.3 he’s saying that there will finally be new pages in amohoreus’s story. He perfected the simulation and now thinks he’s gonna create a lord ravager in reality. But Trailblazer and Dan Heng, who remember the last cycle perfectly, are gonna show up and stop him. We’re gonna convince Phainon to turn against Lygus and the scepter. And then Phainon, with the power of a lord ravager, is gonna fight against Lygus and the scepter, possibly empowered by a stellaron. So Lord Ravager phainon with 12 coreflames vs Stellaron empowered Lygus/Rupert. Everywhere we go there’s a stellaron. Amphoreus probably has one as the inciting incident. I think a stellaron is what’s allowing the emperor’s scepter to hide amphoreus and run endless simulations. So it likely affected the first (real) amphoreus, and is being used by the scepter to keep the actual planet frozen in time. Another possibility that’s just as likely is that Amphoreus really is gone. It’s all just memory. And the scepter + lygus/rupert is trying to use the stellaron to turn its perfect cycle of the simulation into reality. And a stellaron definitely has the power to do that. I’m 99% certain it’s a simulation and not actually a planet undergoing destruction and rebirth endlessly. Because all the “nymphs” in Amphoreus are literal bugs in the code. Which is why they all do typed out emojis before disappearing. And the black tide is all digital distortion. Plus there are various areas where the world just glitches out or has rectangular pixels missing. Not to mention in evernight Okhema, the disappearing structures around the world retain a digitial outline of where they were. Like a game world failing to properly load in its assets. Note for posterity: I wrote this before watching the whole video. I’m sure you’ve come to some of the same conclusions as me IN the video. Just wanted to lay out my theory before I watch it and see how they compare.

Damn I think this is the earliest I've been for a video ever let's fucking go
