![]() The phantom pregnancy stuff was in Outlast 1 so Lynn is having a phantom pregnancy so when she gives birth and says "there is nothing there" she is referring to there being no baby amd what Blake sees is not real. The Engine does make Blake and everyone in the compound insane and hallucinate other than Lynn to an extent because she was sheltered from the radiation most the game in the mines. This is shown in the Outlast comics that Papa Knoth and other things are real. Originally posted by ThePugHybrid:I agree with most of what you say apart from the events at the Temple are real and Lynn did survive etc. The final light is the engine going off again and taking Blake back to Jessica at school one last time before in my opinion he dies from the final radiation burst. ![]() ![]() I agree with most of what you say apart from the events at the Temple are real and Lynn did survive etc. Originally posted by haz:mat:After my first playthrough I was very confused about what had unfolded at Temple Gate, but after just finishing the story a second time I think I have a solid theory.Īs the game ends and the light of the sun fills the screen, this could be the final moment as he sees the light in the tunnel, that so many people claim to see during near death experiences, as his life force finally leaves him. Jessica's death & the guilt of not coming forward obviously plagued his mind his entire life, as he even dreamed about it in the heli right before the first tower pulse & crash happened.Īs the game ends and the light of the sun fills the screen, this could be the final moment as he sees the light in the tunnel, that so many people claim to see during near death experiences, as his life force finally leaves him. I think the entire game is just Blake losing his mind over the guilt of staying silent about Jessica’s murder, as his life flashes before his eyes & his terror of the book of revelations coming to fruition, due to exposure to the morphogenic engine warping his sanity, while dying in the wake of the heli crash. The raining blood, the siphilis enduced sores & boils on the Scalled, the plague of locusts, fire & brimstone from the sky & earthquakes in the mines & even the death of the first born child at the hands of a horned beast (possibly Val in her crown of branches, or even that the baby itself is referenced as the antichrist, described as a horned beast in Christian texts) are Christian symbolism of armageddon from the book of Revelations. The religious symbols of armageddon throughout the game could also be explained by this. The name Temple Gate could be a reference to the gates of heaven (or hell) as he is going through this near death experience. I believe the entire events of Outlast 2 are an effect of the morphogenic engine on Blake’s guilt for not coming forward about Jessica’s murder at the hands of Loutermilch, while he is also having a religion induced “near death experience”. In Outlast 1 it is stated that the engine has much more profound effects on those who have experienced severe psychological trauma, which was why it was used on asylum inmates at Mount Massive during the Walrider experiment. The morphogenic engine powered by the radio tower caused an EMP disruption to the helicopter’s systems causing it to crash, possibly killing Lynn outright & leaving Blake injured on the verge of death, while also slipping into madness from the effects of the morphogenic engine pulses more & more over time as life slipped away from him. My theory is that none of the events at Temple Gate ever actually happened. This was what I took to have happened rather than a mere violent assault, due to Loutermilch being further up the stairs when Blake finds Jessica dead on the stairs. I think Jessica’s suicide was a cover up from Loutermilch to hide the fact he broke Jessica’s neck throwing her down the stairs. One of Jessica’s hangman clues in his Catholic school hallucinations spells out “Not telling is the same as lying” After my first playthrough I was very confused about what had unfolded at Temple Gate, but after just finishing the story a second time I think I have a solid theory.īlake was raised Catholic, obviously a firm believer in God & a devout Christian.
