Oversimplified Guide Ahead Event Story | Guide Ahead Event Story Summary [Arknights] 

Oh boy next up: 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗘𝗡 It's already the second week of Guide Ahead event, so did you get Fiammetta and Kazemaru yet? 👇

So for now we have: - Eldritch horrors deep in the oceans of Iberia - "Demons" that the Ursus Empire is constantly holding back at the border - Nian siblings that are still roaming around the world - and now "The Law", hidden deep in Laterano's heart, that can remotely evaporate any Sankta and whose appearance broke down Andoain's beliefs Additionally: - Phantom's former company of assassins, the "Crimson Troupe", hellbent on creating 'the greatest tragedy in history' - Entirety of Columbia, who's currently at an Arms Race with Ursus, Leithania and Laterano. Also housing companies like Rhine Labs, whose unethical experiments are making contributions to said race, already having created Ifrit and Rosmontis(?) beforehand - Remnant supporters of the Witch King, possessing witchcraft-like arts, capable of using crystal growths on other infected to tear them from inside out or as living conduits for their arts - Theresis' forces on the horizon of Chapter 10 ~ disfigured masses of soldiers, whose parasitic appearance and power is owed to one of the forces of the Kazdel Monarchy Very fun world we're playing in, maybe i've missed some of the threats but these are the ones i know that are still cryptic yet scary

I'm really happy that neither Andoain nor the Pope decided to use Cecilia as political tool. And the fight scene showed that Pope was no pushover and could stand on his own.

The part when Andoain said its guidin time and told Cecelia to follow her path, is one of the best moments (Unironically)

Andoin, the Martyr, in my opinion the best character of the event, to the person reading this, Adoin tells Cecelia an story that gives a bigger meaning to their stories, making her the hero of this city and making he bell moves, before a big catastrophe (maybe a war coming soon for laterano)

4:01 Ah yes... my favourite game, Blue Arknights but Im interested what Andoain see when he goes down with Pope Maybe its another level threat "Sui" like Kjera or Black Snake? the plot deepens

From all the scene I've seen in this event, Lemuen shooting Andoain's pistol from a signboard **with wheelchair on** is still give me shock (Rapid-fire competition is a honorable mention)

3:56 I knew this reference will be here xD

Dont let this distract you from the fact that the whole event is the average day on a gta online server

I'm guessing that "The Law" has something to do with killing Outcast when she shot her 6th bullet

If the theory is true that "THE LAW" is just a super computer. If I was Andoian, I would be in disbelief too. Knowing all that what Laterano believe and is worshiping is just a Machine. and LOL at the Blue Archive BG music when "Just a normal day at Laterano" xD

I’m honestly waiting more lore drops about Laterano. The tragedy of former comrades which are Fia, Mostima, Lemuen and Andoain is an important part of character’s backgrounds, and honestly I can’t even hate Andoain here, but I really want to know what will happen when it will be revealed that “The Law” is just a supercomputer. Hope that Hypergryph would finally stop milking these fine polish horses and start pay attention to other countries and factions (Blacksteel copium) as well

_hears the unmistakable tune of Constant Moderato at __4:00_ I snorted when this happened. This truly enforces the belief that Kivotos is just a district within Laterano territories. Also, long live Lord Gaben. Download Tuanku.

If anyone played Library of Ruina, you would definitely realize "THE LAW" here is very similar to "The prescript" in LOR.

Maybe just me but I love andoain in this story more than flametta ofcourse best character is still enforcer

*Welcome to Laterano City…..And This is Arknights 1099* *I Mean, Welcome to Night City!!!! And This Is Cyberpunk 2077!!!!!*

I liked everything about this event. I hope Andoain becomes a playable character in the future, it took about two years for Fia to be one, so there's always a chance right?(copium)

Ramblings of a Madman So if i understood that right the main implication from the Event is that the Sankta are "artifical" aka to be specific their Halos & Wings/their special powers with Guns. On top of that the twist is that Sankta before the "Origin" are Sarkaz who came into contact with the "Origin". So let me break this down. Sarkaz & Sankta relationship. Typcial Angel & Demon/Daemon trope. If we take the "history" at face value Sankta & Sakarz hate each other/fought each other in the past for a unknown reason to extreme extentd where killing Sarkaz became a "normal thing" for Sankta as is breathing. Current day they still do kill them & they arent allowed to be in Laterno at all from what i understood. I am not sure if the history is true or fabricated by the Pope/first Saint in order to hide the truth about the Origin(Machine) that was probably found in Sarkaz lands. Or there was a major conflict because of the Origin(Machine) that ended up with one side of the Sarkaz winning. Either way the biggest clue i think why Sarkaz are Sankta and vice versa are 2 key details: 1: Its said that Sankta can only have Sankta children with another Sankta(same race). Apparently its proven that none of the other animal people can create another Sankta child. However Cecillia is a half Sarkaz-Sankta. And we have the whole deal/conflict going on between Sankta & Sarkaz ergo. Probably one of the reason why Sarkaz arent allowed in Laterno is because Sarkaz can have Sankta children with a Sankta partner. This ties into why i think Sankta are transformed Sarkaz because of the whole "same species thing". Aka ask yourself why are Sarkaz suddenly a expection if every other combination doesnt produce a Sankta baby/Halo & Wings. 2:Fallen Sankta/Fallen Angels who break the "Law"(Almost as if the inspiration are the 3 Robotic Laws) grow horns...........like Sarkaz have. Aka almost as if the powers/authority granted to them is taken back by the Origin(Machine) thus partially reverting their transformation. The reason i think the Origin is a Machine as FrostByte already pointed out in the video is because once the Pope & Andoain went even deeper than the first Saints tomb suddenly the backround music changed and you hear the surrrrrrrr sound of a machine. Plus they also mentioned that the Tower where Cecillia sang is older than Laterno itself so maybe that building is somehow connected to the Machine? Plus Andoain describtion of what his eyes see cant even explain/fathom maybe implies sci-fi tech? I am not sure what the significance of the Saints Tower was along Cecillia. Maybe it has to do with Cecillias "special" empathy due her being half Sankta/Sarkaz thus it can shake/remind Sankta about their ancestors/Sarkaz heritage. Tho does that mean the First Saint also was like Cecillia? The first half-half because it was back then when the first generation of Sarkaz transformed into Sankta? No idear about that detail to be honest. I only realized that this whole Sarkaz & Sankta connection thing could be true after we got loads of exposition about them & then the Pope started to talk about "Sankta & the Law" after Andoain asked: "What are Sankta". Sankta always stood out among the rest of Terras various animal people. So the Halo & Wings being artifical tech/sci-fi things makes a lot of sense in hindsight. Tho as always take it with spoons of salt as this is all mad rambling from a madman. Cheers o/

FrostByte262: the spiritual leader and the pope of laterano gabe newell me: holy steam lord no wander his face look familiar!!

Finally, i lost my head when Andoain start talking

One thing i learn of Laterano, is that explosions are just their average daily routine. Nothing to worry about

Laterano basement: do not be afraid Adoain: sir, this is the scariest moment of my life

I'm relatively new to the game, and seeing so many characters mentioned I didn't know if they were going to be explained later, or you are supposed to know from past events Still I loved the story, arknights has probably the best stories for events of all gacha games

Laterano in a nutshell is just Angel with guns

If I had a nickel for everytime an Executor from the Notorial Hall get a Loli as their companion, I'd have 2 nickels which isn't much but, kinda weird that it happens twice

the thing i like most about laterano is surprisingly not their guns or desserts its their church music,by gabe,it was f**kin fire

So that ''law'' thing the sankta are bound to is going to be something like a machine god or even one of the devine entities of ak writing down the literal code of law , and each and every sankta has to follow it

I got hooked by the story right after realizing that Fia knew Patia

24:43 I did not expect to see that art... it looked complex and ridiculous but GG Lumen, Good Shot... Somehow

reading other comments and watching this after finishing the event it's kind of wild but it seems to me like the sankta are loosely similar to what the ideal AI would be even following "the law" similar to the 3 laws of robotics, the whole halos they have and how they fall could just be them being on the same literal wavelength/network and having access or being denied based on their actions, the whole machinery thing underneath laterano also falls in line with the theme. arknights technology is super sci-fi so it wouldn't be super unbelievable that AI's somehow got organic bodies somewhere along the line

This was a hell of great story I've never known racism could be rational but Arknights managed to pull it off very well yet I'm dissatisfied with Mostima and fiammeta influence on story I think you could have erase her from story and nothing would change that much and fiammeta almost failed to make any important impact on story I mean let's review she failed to bring back Cecilia both time and failed to take revenge from Andonian the best she has done was to disrupt a poor soul funeral. Well at least I expected her to have more of spotlight since it's her banner but she didn't get that much. Mostima and fiammeta shippers can have my condolence too

I didn't expect to love this story; the urge I got to build Enforcer over pulling Fiametta was something I also did not expect 😂 Also did not expect to root for Andoain so much. I hated dealing with the guy but damn I wish we'd see more of him.

Correction, they didn’t blow up the pillar due to disliking it They simply were curious to see what would happen Aka: no thoughts, head empty

I actually liked Andoain I hope he became our first 6 star male sniper

i love your Oversimplified story's outro man, keep up the good work!

i regret nothing When started playing arknights because i was Thirsty for Interesting stories and Guess what. hG Exceeded my Expectation. Making Guiding ahead one of my Favorite Stories besides to Walk kn the Dust. Praying HG to make interesting Lores and stories in the future 🤝♥️

Hmmm.... I think we will get a part 2 of this story since Andoain escaped Fia's grasps. And speaking of, I think "The Law" and Arturia (her artwork makes me believe she'll be an operator someday) are connected in a way. I also think that in the next Laterano-focused story, Cecelia will be an adult now (and possibly an operator) and Andoain will be back (also possibly an operator)

The blue archive song fucking broke me

it would be funny if Andoain gets 100% dodge against sankta operators and vice versa

There is a little bit of trivia that can be adressed as well, that normally, any childrens that are born from a Sankta and other races will not produce another Sankta. For example if a Feline married a Sankta, their children will always be Feline. So the fact that even if a Sarkaz married a Sankta like Cecelia's parent does, it should not produce a Sankta, which is why The pope, Mostima and the Cardinal is extremely surprised that Cecilia is a very rare breed. Laterano is somehow gives me that eerie vibe from psycho-pass, that they're kinda united under one same mindset, and if what some ppl said in the Rhine lab event are correct (the one with Astesia's sister cmiiw), they are also under supervision of a giant supercomputer, which explain their hivemind.

Man I'm really thankful for these videos. You're really helping out doctors who don't have enough time to experience the stories themselves

I just realized and happy that you use CSS SG552 firing sound when you described Mostima shooting Andoain. SG552 is a Swiss made rifle and concidentally, Laterano's outskirts are based from Switzerland so it is kinda fit.

lol I spewed my drink when u said "Gabe Newell" 🤣🤣🤣

The Blue Archive music when someone was asking why explosives are allowedbin laterano was pretty great tbh

Thanks for this summary, as always. Lack of time to read and just plain getting sanity slippage makes reading tedious.

I feel like an expert in Arknights lore now but I have never actually read anything in game.

Andoain is somewhat a reformist, a protestant that seek a change to the superiority of the Church and the Sankta regarding the Laterano religion...

14:06 goddamnit, another full auto in the building reference. Edit 1: 19:43 and another reference.

3:02 NPC Sister is so cute such a waste to be just a mob NPC.

i love it when andoin said its "Guiding time" truly the best Event of Arknight

I wonder if Laterano event 2 will be about Arturia (and Federico). I definitely would like to know more about her. As for Guide(ing) Ahead, I play the game for it and Enforcer, so it goes without saying that I love it, even though it's not perfect. But contrary to popular belief...I actually think that Fia and Andoain's subplot is relevant to the story, and that I actually can empathise with Fia and what she's been through. I also can see why Ezell is a welfare 5* instead of him being the 6* (even welfare) although he is the focus of the story; it fits his lore and the event story more, as a recently-graduated trainee executor. That is to say, though, I hope we get a 6* Ezell Alter someday (copium). Maybe a Heavyshooter/Besieger 6*? As far as I know, we haven't got a 6* Heavyshooter Sankta operator yet. Here's also to hoping that Andoain (and Arturia pls) will become playable in the future! (Maybe even the Pope) (just kidding) thank you for the amazing video. Love the ending this time, too.

I like how you used Blue Archive OST while talking about "blowing up stuff in the city", clever.

The Pope is clearly Colonel Sanders, why else would the operators try to pedal KFC on us?

I will not be surprised if the Dokuta pit those Laterano and Sarkaz for fun in the old days.

So basically Mostima: "I forgive you" Leminen: "I forgive you" Fiametta: "I don't, get your arsh up and bring the gun"

24:43 this is one legendary moment lol..

Thank you for all the content that you create. Please make a video about Vulcan and Indra. Those are very rare operators, since they available only through recruitment achievements, and therefore there are not so much information about them.

3:20 actualy, they are blowing it up because they are like the structure. They are just curious what will happen when that pillar is destroyed🤣

I was playing Blue Archive on mute while watching your video and got so confused when I started to hear Constant Moderato.

Andoain is literally just Sephiroth but with guns Goes insane due to finding out how they were created/A higher being dictating how their race evolves Neither are inherently evil

if you discern much of the dialogue about the Revelations you will have an idea, an hypothesis call it that, the Sankta MAY actually came from Sarkaz not the otherwise, a Sankta is a "fallen" Sarkaz. pretty crazy and Cecelia is definitely not the first antichrist, the Rubik god created or allows them to exist in every time which it deemed exciting or pivotal perhaps.

Amazing work with these series. I enjoy arknights lore and worldbuilding, but find annoying the sheer amount of text when all I want is to play the mission hahaha. Thanks!

Thanks for the recap! Now I’m more curious to what “The Law” is. The world of Terra is pretty f’d up with these mysterious beings running about.

I was surprised just how much this event made me cry. Cecelia's lines about her mother are just so well written, I couldn't help but tear up. Still, really interested to see where the plot goes for the next Laterano event!

I can imagine whenever Andoain walks, that Martyr BGM will played on the background.

Make Andoain playable he's so cool. He's one of the very few Arknights villain that I genuinely like. He's not even a villain story-wise, only in gameplay.

Frostbyte262 is my favorite channel for Arknights content! Keep up the good work bro!

Every CoD pro player who do 360° no scope afraid of Lemuen who snipe a pistol to disarm someone from afair on wheel chair balanced on signpost.

Thank you so much for doing this. I really love the story but I'm still new with Arknights and its community (I barely understand the memes) so you giving context to some things really helped!

Is it possible to make a series regarding arknights lore , stories and discussion? as a newer player it's really interesting to listen to these stories especially this was my first event that i played.... Also there is so much mystery regarding "the law" In laterano...

Did anyone else get vibes similar to The Clockwork Sun/The Dawn Machine from Sunless Skies/Seas from The Law, especially with the description of it involving the sounds of great machinery, or am I the only one?

ZAMN....... its good and tense!!! Angel with shotgun in every corner xD (Also, Lemuen is cute)

Given that all the Sankta operator files have "Laterano citizen that is subject to the 13 clauses in Lateran law" and those of Liberi such as Fiametta and Archetto say NOTHING, I thought they weren't even considered Laterano citizens!

Can we get a R6 sidestory going to the land of angels? Their reaction would be our reacrion seeing angels walking among them.

I feel bad for not reading these event stories, because they all sound amazing, like I would love to get into details, but oh well, sad reality, it takes time and I always have to be in a specific mood to get myself to soak in a story in the first place 😔

Great editing and loved the story. Champion in the wheelchair 🤣

I shed a tear over this story. If somehow arknights made some novels for all of their story, I'll buy all of it. Even if it's as thicc as assassin's creed novel.

Lemuen casually sits in her wheelchair in the signpost with a gun.

Arknights's newer stories always seem to run tangential to grander godly entities that steer the terran races around... Wonder if Mostima & Co will someday go against the big Deus Ex Machina from Laterano

3:58 WE ROBBIN THE BANK WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

red and cuora being wholesome alaways brings me joy thankyou frostbyte

I’m still thinking what the pope show underground. 😮

Are all saints in Terra connected to a bell in one way or another? Enya - saintess - has a bell. Cecilia - saint - makes a bell ring.

Thank you for your work Doctor. Gratitude is always an option

Thanks for making this! As a fairly new player, it helps put the story together a lot smoother. Especially with my lack of time and skill in game to get all the lore after each event level. This channel is my go-to for Arknights content!

Fiametta in this event: 😐😡🤬😐😡🤬😐😡🤬

So there is a machine like the sarcophagus under laterano

Loving how fia's party got involved because the doctor broke HIPPA

I wander what is the The Law ? is its like the machine the Doc sleep or something much big

the real peace is Frost giving choccy milk instead of gunshot

Now I want to pull for Fiametta. But SpecAlter... :'(

> Cities where Angels with Guns lives Blacksteel girls and Rainbow Team: *REAL SHIT*

This story is surprisingly interesting. Maybe I'll actually go read it.

the lady in wheelchair is no joke😂

Consider this event involved with guns i expect him to shoot me with an rpg but thank for the choco milk

waa this time i know why Mostima became fallen angel, also i mean i can understand Fia felt toward its

Guide Ahead: Fiammetta is mad part 1. Next episode: Fiammetta is mad part 2.

Thx for the video!

Great! Operator Cecilia when?

This is the first time I play a game where the Pope/church/religious organisation is not evil. I think Japan game are religion hater. Usually they depict God/Angel as evil while Demons/dragons/witches are good.
