The Subtle Lore of Arras.io's Bosses

Описание: (vid format inspired by ‪@RetroGamingNow‬)

Bosses. Perhaps one of the most important, yet overlooked, parts of the game. Bosses of all shapes and sizes are in nearly every server—and they seem to have a lust for destroying players. But why? Why do they mainly appear in Siege, taking over the tiny fortresses of the players? Why have some of them gone Rogue, and who leads the Rogue group? And most outrageous of all…could Arena Closers and Dreadnoughts be nothing but the product of a war between Bosses, Rogues, and anarchist players?

Let’s see.

*NOTE:* This theory (at least the parts involving Dreadnoughts) is pretty much invalid, as due to the Dreadnoughts update of June 4th, 2025, the Labyrinth is now a 4TDM and Dreadnoughts no longer are able to access normal modes. Of course, I could argue something about how the Forge has been hijacked by anarchist players…but I’ll leave that for you to decide. Apart from that, everything before the Labyrinth battle still holds true. I apologize for the discrepancy (especially if you are watching way after the Labyrinth update), and it was a problem for me, too, trying to deal with a major update while working on a lore video, but I did my best to fit it in.

If I do decide to do a Part 3, it will be mostly fan theories—and they don’t have to follow my storyline. If you think there is a different origin story of the Labyrinth, or of Old Dreadnoughts, send it to me and I might consider putting it in the video! Also, AtomA has a lore theory of his own—go check it out here:    • Arras.io LORE [EXPLAINED!]
