where we headed Next?-
Author: Beecher
The devs have hinted that there are clues in Kaidan pointing the way to future zones. Let’s go looking for clues!
The “Everything is True” trailer from pre-launch has some interesting clues. “There is a city on the moon” and “Solomon’s key unleashes hell.” Atlantis is rising, apparently. And the earth of hollow, but we knew that one. “Eleven days are missing.” That I want to know more about.
Congo
The top translates to “King Solomon’s Tours”, which reference one of my favorite adventure books, King Solomon’s Mines by Rider S. Haggard.
The cargo ship which carried the bomb to Tokyo came from the Congo, according to the lore. Filth infected apes wander the docks. I think the Congo is the likely next destination.
Read the book or watch the 1937 film!
Antarctica
On the Funcom forums, people are speculating about Antarctica but I can’t find any real clues in Kaidan, other than this billboard which says “living tradition”. The chrysanthemum logo is the same used on a Jingu Clan billboard.
It’s a mountain.
But is it the Mountain of Madness?
As Lovecraftian as the game is, maybe. Lilith mentions a city under the ice where she found a gaia engine, which I think is the stronger clue. Still, the next zone? Magic 8 Ball says “ask later”.
