I break down the meaning of nine core whistles used by the Seraphites (Scars) in The Last of Us Part II. The secret whistle language is a testament to Naughty Dog's outstanding sound design team who did an amazing job with this.
00:00 Opening
00:30 1) The Call, and 2) The Answer
01:09 3) Light Alert (I think I heard or saw something)
01:54 4) The Called Shot Whistle (Old Hunter's Tactic)
03:09 5) Enemy Ambush (Initial Contact with the Enemy)
03:41 6) High Alert (I don't have eyes on the enemy)
04:09 7) Enemy Found (Scars find you on High Alert)
04:46 8) Moving Up (Cover me!)
05:16 9) Man Down (One of ours has fallen)
06:05 Seraphite whistle language in action

@vinnyclifton7006 Год назад

Interesting to hear another take on this, I always interpreted them a little differently! The "called shot", "high alert" and "enemy found" whistles all sound the same likely because they mean the same thing: "Attack!". For "Moving up" the whistle seems to come from the scar covering, which leads me to think it may mean "Covering you, move up". For "Man down" this might actually be "Check in now". From the number of responses scars can work out how many teammates they have left and roughly where they are.

it’s crazy that they do this. they have their own way of communicating without letting enemies know what they’re doing. so cool

I like to imagine that the call and answer whistle is them going "report in" "all clear" similar to how militaries use an "echo" response system to confirm that a squad/soldier is still in combat shape

Honestly the first time I heard their whistles, it sounded so unsettling that I thought they only used whistles as their form of communication and not talk. (Especially the “Man Down” whistle. 😰) But then later on I heard a few of them converse and alert each other from time to time. So my unsettledness started to die down into confidence thinking they’re just simple human beings and not demonic beings… 😅

This was amazingly helpful, thank you! Also I love that you let us try to figure out what those last few calls were and then translated them too. Thanks again :)

Am I the only one who whistled back at Yara when she was calling out for Lev because it was weird not hearing the response whistle? XD

Great video! Very interesting! I feel like I'm gonna memorize this whistle language and use it to my advantage when I try the permadeath mode with the grounded difficulty! Good job. I'm subbing to your channel and watching all your other TLOU2 vids as well!

Thank you for creating this content! I just finished playing through the game a 3rd time and I continue to be fascinated by the world created by Naughty Dog. Your video of the whistle language was really well done!
