A New Story | Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice [Part Final] 

1. Hela represented the conflict within Senua, and letting go of Dillion finally allowed Senua to come to terms with her grief and defeat her internal suffering. 2. In a cutscene unlocked after collecting all of the game’s lorestones, it is implied that Zynbel may have been the one who tipped the Vikings off to the location of the village. 3. I actually liked the fire maze sequence thing. It got my heart pounding while having to think strategically. 4. Incase you don't remember my previous comment, I highly recommend you watch the devs video that unlocks after you beat the game. Great playthrough Rose!!

Honestly I was so invested in the little side stories in the last episode lol 😂 but this game is too good I wish it wasn’t over 😩😩😩😩

This game is crazy I can’t wait to see what the second game is about

Like the voices, I'm back 😅I can finally slowly catch up with the new videos and here's what I think of this game: I really liked it! You rocked every fight sequence! The voice acting is immaculate, I just really love Hela's design, and the last fights soundtrack was majestic. I'm so glad she could overcome her grief, so powerful. Excited for the second game ^_^

A while ago I started playing this game cuz I was curious. But I stopped before I could finish defeating the illusion God in the first chapter. Watching the play through now I know I wouldn’t have made it very far 😆😆😆

Wow I thought it was cool how the side stories foreshadowed what she was going to have to do. They really put together a unique experience between the mechanics, the visuals and audio. It’s also interesting how the world differs from similar settings like God of War for instance.

I am somebody who's lived with psychosis and hallucinations both auditory and visual my whole life. the game isn't meant to be taken in for what you see. It's made so that you adopt the thought processes of people with the mental illness. Even though the game seems very fantasy and fictional, but the developers never strayed from anything grounded in realism that many people like me have seen and been through and I'll explain how. At the beginning of the game when she gets to Hel, Dillions head starts to breathe in the sack. which goes to show that upon reaching the territory of resurrection, Dillion taking breaths represents him living on in Senua's mind. he lives vicariously through her. The head isn't actually breathing its her perceiving it that way as motivation to uphold his memory. The rot that grows on Senua's arm is actually a real life thing people experience. I've had hallucinations before of parts of my body withering away or dying, and usually these form based off of lack of a sense of worth and self preservation. Senua feels hopeless and worthless so it's her mind conveying her desire to dissipate into nothing. That's why each time you "die" or "fail" in the game the rot grows stronger. Not because Hela is smiting her, but because she's feeling stuck in an endless cycle of mental incompetence. She feels trapped in a cycle of defeat and needs a change in perspective to be victorious. and so the "permadeath" is her having to restart her process of recovery and grief. Also it growing further up you arm relates to the worth point too. Each time she overcomes an aspect of grief she feels guilty that she's accepting Dillions death Most of the doors with runes in the game aren't actually locked. From my experience I've had times where before proceeding with something within my own life I've had to solve a problem by referencing symbols or ideas from my past to justify moving forward in a certain state of mind. There's also been times when i've either been dreaming or had a hallucination that changed my surroundings, where I had to speak to certain people or find "ways out" through items in the dreams to wake up and snap out of it. There isn't actually runes locking the path to Helheim. Senua just simply must get into specific states of mind to justify upholding the mission, and it could sprout from anxiety, fear, hatred, or fond memories, but those runes may have meanings that helps her justify proceeding that she connects the dots with. The easiest most common minded explanation is something like angel numbers. Yeah they may just seem like numbers, but to certain people they feel like the universe is speaking directly to them as if in code. (and honestly i recommend looking the runes up occasionally because it tells you how she feels about certain scenarios or what may come like fortunes) In line with some of that I've also had times where character i have hallucinated represented repressed parts of myself. For example I have this one spirit I see occasionally that speaks in introspective monologues of my own perception of myself. much like the narration voices and the other ones that are more occasional. Whenever i can't put who i am into words he can.. which gives me solid ground and a sense of solidarity of who I am. she has similar experiences. One of the most important steps to overcoming grief is to accept what hurts you the most about it. I won't say how and give spoilers, but every character you meet in the game is actually a representation of each aspect of Senua's personality and what she needs to overcome. In therapy they teach you about things called "delusions" and "obstruction Principles" which basically is when the mind gets too overwhelmed with emotion, trauma, and information, your brain fabricates ideas, people, and settings that better help you make sense of hard thinking patterns. and for her a lot of the time it's self destructive tendencies, a doomed mentality, feeling like an outcast and a lot more. So be on the lookout!! The scene with her looking in her mirror and talking shit to herself is great representation of that last point. The deep disembodied voice is the self talk she's learned from how other people have treated her. It's her own hatred that she thinks about herself personified to save herself from the guilt Also finally people who experience psychosis have tendencies to form amnesia based off of PTSD or other bits of info that can be too much to comprehend, and a lot of the puzzles in this game take place within those moments. Typically when I've encountered them my environments "Fade to black" or seems very void-like. In situations like this the only way i've ever been able to solve them is to rely on a feeling or symbolism to guide me instead of reality and what i see itself. So when these portions come up don't resort to logic, think in terms of how the mind works. Its definitely a lot to take in. The story is outstanding so i'm excited to see you play more. I hope you see this and use it to understand the plot better than most people. On your videos of the sequel ill give pointers too
