The Dark Mysterious Origins Of Hunt Showdown | The Louisiana Event Lore 

Let me know if you guys wanna see more Hunt Showdown lore. I loved making this and love playing the game atm so would love to continue this series! Cheers again for watching!

I don't reckon it's the elite or any human hunting mad men that orchestrated it all, I subscribe to the idea that the devs at first suggested before they did whatever they bloody did to the lore, that the Sculptor is laying the foundations for his arrival, being too weak (mayhaps) to enter our dimension but strong enough to influence it. As seen with the Demented Pact they often mimick the bosses in appearance and hunt the bosses because they see them as faulty designs, fancying themselves the true harbingers of the Sculptor. So the dude seems to still play a role in it all. To explain hunters killing hunters; greed, fear, etc. Horrifying eldritch bounty? Someone is gonna pay big moolah for that. The Sculptor can possess anyone? Trust no one. Hope Crytek dont muck up the lore...

Damn, Hurricane Katrina hit differently back then 💀

My first look into this game. This looks brilliant. I like a game with mysteries like this. Also brilliant video.

As a player and lore nerd of Hunt for almost 5 years, I have to say your take on the events is very interesting and entertaining. Can't wait to see when you finally connect the dots. Welcome to the Bayou.

I personally love when games use real life names in there games, I think it makes it interesting and if done currently it can actually like up with these real life people. There’s an extent/limit to this but I still love it!

IVe played Hunt quite a few times. Love the visuals, the gameplay, music. The whole damn "'Evil West"' aesthetic. Id love a singleplayer experience in this world. RPG style FPS with stronger emphasis on magic

Ain't no way, finally someone is talking about the hunt showdown lore. Specially now that the lore has been increasing with the factions at war and Mr. Chary just vibing for each tide event.

Such a good game. Who else better to dive into the lore with than Wisefish!

God I love this game, and it’ll actually be cool to know what the hell is going on.

Awesome to see more people covering the lore of Hunt! It's such a great game - with a huge amount of depth to it! Great video, man!🤠

Literally one of my favorite games and honestly the only multiplayer game I play regularly. The mysterious story in the game between piecing together through the articles for killing monsters and using the guns to the story through the events is amazing. I love your lore videos covering some of my favorite franchises and this is just an absolutely perfect match. Hope to see more in the future.

behind every wise fish is a wise wife; thank you guys for the consistently amazing content

Hunt lore is awesome!! Great video. Lots of cool stories and ideas in this game, even the legendary hunters and their weapons have enough lore behind them for their own videos

Having lived in Louisiana for almost 20 years, I can say - accurate representation of the people, a bit nicer environment in game than in life though.

This video was great and I would love to hear more about the game. The South is such a rich setting for horror and this game and its lore serves it perfectly. Thank you for collecting and sharing.

Just fyi the Bayou isn’t a specific area but refers to the swampy country lands of Louisiana Mississippi and Florida in general. It’s also pronounced Bye-you phonetically whereas you’re saying bye-oh Minor thing but I had to say something as a native east Texan

I agree with page 5-6. Im sure that as soon as someone had a flat surface and some paint they tagged things. Whether it was just a name or a intricate painting, people have been doing it for eons.

Great stuff, keep it coming. Love the game and the setting!

Nice. I play with my friends and have always wanted to learn more about the lore. Never have time to do it in game. Looking forward to more Hunt lore.

Really awesome! I've only seen a little gameplay of this but it seems like an excellent game. Always enlightening to hear the lore from your vids as well! Well played.

I love watching your content and watching you grow and become a better content creator

Havent played the game myself but like watching vids of it. So having lore-videos of the game is amazing! More of this 🔥

Please do more of this series 🙏

Wooooooooo lets goo been waiting for this awhile but perfection takes time I'm glad you considered this dark game

I use to play this game none stop. I would read what I could in between games. I really appreciate this bud. Great editing and awesome narration.

Yes, please more hunt content, i love your content and hunt is literally my fav game, thank youuuu

Ive never heard of this but the lore is super interesting. Great video.

I'm glad you tried shedding some light into this game's world

I really enjoyed this video! Good work🙏

thank you for covering Hunt lore!

Great vid, I'd love to see more Hunt lore

With this, I'd suggest you do a colab with HazmatFTW. He's done a lot with the current events and seasons of the game and with the two of you, I'm sure we could nail down the exact origins of the sculptor and the AHA

thank you for doing this... cause F me i made it through like half the "guide" that someone made of all the lore bits tied to the guns before I gave up trying to read it all... It was a really good "guide"

19:55 I remember when it was brought up in the Hunt discord that what caldwell sent was props the first version of the chaingun conversion

There are many things of the bayou that haven't been seen yet.

You know, having only seen trailers or let’s play of it… the lore does seem interesting. Thanks!

I've always been curious about this series. These lore vids might be a good way to get into them. Is there a single player version of this game or is it solely the extraction aspect? Also, is it solely demons or is there something more eldritch at play with the story?

This! This is what I’m interested in!!!

Thanks , you and your wife for this one , more stuff like this please

Minor quibble: Labor Day was originally designed as an American alternative to "May Day" - a holiday to celebrate workers that is celebrated the world over. American capitalists saw it as an international rallying cry for labor, and sought to dismantle it by making an alternative that was "patriotic."

it is insane and pretty cool that you are have made this video about Hunt Showdown💖💞 I didn't know you know about that it's amazing! it's my favorite PVP game ever!

The lore of this game is totally worth a deeper look, there's so much interesting world building and stories.

no way wisefish is talking about one of my favorite games lore

yesss Hunt lore is always welcome

Amazing video! And many regards to your wife for her research!

Yes! More Hunt lore!

About the cut off article around 13:22 It may be French and/or Creole, as per it is New Orleans

A HUNT SHOWDOWN LORE VIDEO??????? I LOVE IT

Regarding the graffiti are you familiar with hobo code? That's what it reminded me of.

Damn I wasn’t expecting anything from Latrobe! I never really get to hear anything about my town!

I would like to see more lore from hunt its really good

I definitely like the style of music in this game.

The AHA symbol looks like a certain emoji. I cannot unsee it.

Superb

The hunt was triggered by the AHA, but orchestrated by the daemon knowing that their lust for the hunt would give it the perfect grounds to spread. That inhaler advertisement gives me massive vibes of how the devil was depicted during that time (the image on the right specifically) and that the main method of spread is the inhalers.

Banger

I feel you are way off on believing that the association is to blame primarily by looking at the names hunters in the game. They come from all walks of life not just ritch aristocrats. My theory is that the hunters association works as a mix of the league of extraordinary gentlemen and the mib. They act as a guardians of humanity placing bounties on the various supernatural creatures and recruiting individuals who have skills that give them a chance against such creatures. Bandits, bounty hunters, trappers, doctors, priests, and madmen all have their own skills and knowledge that let them take on the supernatural creatures of the bayou. They keep it quiet to keep people from panicking or investigating it themselves and anyone who stumbles in on their operation are sent to the asylum to keep the secret safe.

I hope someone makes a similar single player game. I suck at PvP.

Cool vid bro.😺

Hello everyone. I may have some info y’all might find interesting. I’m from south Louisiana. Grew up here. BIG gamer. But also part time Cajun man. Anywho. My former guitarist showed me this game. And he mentioned (I can’t find this source) that it took place in Erwinville and the surrounding areas. I was very familiar with the area because our drummer lived in a place called fordoche which was about 10 minutes down the road. That area has several names. But I can see the similarities. RE7 did a magnificent job of making the setting VERY real life lore accurate. Only thing that got me was when Marg is pursuing you she says “Cher” like it’s the name. When it is actually Cajun French and is pronounced “sha”. Idk. That’s not interesting info. But I thought maybe y’all could use a little reference. Thank you for the video. You do good work! Edit: the band I was in at the time was Called Swamp Stank. I’m not with them anymore but they DO have new music coming. Least I could do is shout them out lol. After all if it weren’t for my guitar player showing me this, I may never have been as interested.

10 bucks a game in 1895 was good ass money, the cake was him being cute. He's the first "Baller" in America.

Anyone know what the song st the end of this video is?

“I ain’t seen him this worked up since the incident!”

With Hunt having so much lore, it's crazy the game doesn't have a single-player campaign story.

To be honest, i tried to build up the timeline of Hunt: Showdown by the dates of firearms present, well, because i know a thing or two about it. And it all worked out for the first time, before... The Drilling. Drilling M30 was developed in 1930 (and it had two smoothbore barrels and one rifled barrel, but that's not the case). And that's what messed this method up

The football thing in my opinion is connected. The scrap book portraits the beginning of a national sport and people being payed to play, so they are trying a similar thing.

everyone from the 1800s is dead now irl, i'ts kinda sad. also there are no more ww1 vets

Is it just me or does the background music have an effect on the senses? I swear that I had to pause this video a few times because I thought I heard someone playing the trumpet outside my window.

Someone else noted the Owo graffiti. That may be a clue…. The name of Thoth, the Egyptian god, in Koine Greek is written as Θώθ. Looking at Greek cursive, that might be what’s being written.

Love the game would be nice if they had a single player only thing holding the game back. Reason is If I wanted to play the game 10 years from now I can't cos it's only online

What is the True Deck the Sinners are after?

Not sure if this is what the German letter is referring to but there's a St. Mary Missouri that's on the Mississippi river south of St. Louis.

Hunting lodge of st Leopold? Is that a reference to the society of st. Leopold from Vampire: the Masquerade?

The caldwell letters literally revolve around the chain pistol. That´s it. It was a new design and there´s another entry about how when tried by hunters they blew up in their hands due to chainfire. The uppermat is another one of caldwells prototypes. Also, caldwell stoles his fathers personal revolver before making his way to the bayou where he presumably perished since there is no later mention of him after huffs death. Oh yeah, and the sculpor is a Loa, a vodoo ghost/entitity that lives in the land/dimension of death and is opening rifts to the "real" world that cause otherworldy influence, besides his active sculpting. Usually his sculpted creatures have some purpose, like the spider containing the "infection" inside the bayou, the butcher fighting hunters, the assasin being active in new orleans etc etc

This was removed before I ever started playing the game, and have fallen off since, but damn does it make me wish there was a real co-op mode again instead of just the extraction mode

Someone sneezed in the communal gumbo, and told no one they suck on beetles because they like the mouth feel. The Louisiana Event

I don't think it was the AHA that actually caused the Louisiana Event, from the letter to Marie Laveau I'm getting the impression that they just knew was that something bad was about to happen in Louisiana and they had a good idea of what form it would take. I mean even the name American Hunters Association gives me the impression that there are other associations around the world dealing with similar things. It also makes a lot of the other letters make sense because them inviting Caldwell into the Association immediately prior to the Event when he's a weapon inventor tells me they were thinking they'd need the firepower to deal with whatever was going to happen. The Guardini and Abdulahziz letters support that theory too, since it looks like Abdulahziz was part of another Hunters Association or at like part of some society that knew about the demonic and fought them. I would guess that they contacted his organization as backup and contacted Guardini just to have another skilled killer who wouldn't ask too many questions to throw at the demon. That would explain the railway tixkets too since those guys would be either Association hunters or contractors coming to help with the Event.

thank you mrs fooster!

yes

I didn’t know hunt had lore

I find it unlikely that the rich elites went to THIS much trouble just to hunt humans. If they truly wanted to hunt humans, there were any number of places they could go and get into such trouble at that time. Without having to worry about outsiders finding out about it. A simple trip up the amazon would get all the live action human hunting human they could want. As well as any number of places in the Pacific. Or they could simply buy an island and set up as was seen in The Most Dangerous Game (novel and movie)

Okay so while i think this is a great summary of the scrapbook, i do believe that it's retconned/outdated lore. Especially the whole demon route is a false conclusion, the answer was literally right in the text. It's not a demon, it's a Sculptor, a godlike Eldtritch being creating these monsters from it's seat in the Land of the Dead. The why and how are still unknown and the AHA definetly has some fault in this, considering how corrupted it seems to be if you can believe the lore entries, but overall i would consider the scrapbook either retconned or very false.

i always had Red dead undead nightmare, when it comes to this lore

Thanks Wisefish’s wife. WiseWifeFish or WiseFishwife

I love the setting and idea and visuals ofthat game so much and want so badly to immerse myself in it, but I am total garbage when up against the folks that play extraction shooters cause I'm not a pvp hound. Sucks man.

To me, let down of the game is that it is PvP only...

Its all the damn moonshine's fault.

"A method to the madness" OwO

I sadly can't participate in event my motherboard in my PC is damaged beyond repair and i need to get a new one

As a Louisianan this is canon to our state

I need more Fallout lore!!!!🤟🏻🔥🍆💯 always love your videos though!!

He shot him in the back ofthe head in self defense. Lol

not having played Hunt in a year Me 🤔 yes

"Rue" means "street" in French so Louisiana

Hunt Showdown is by far one of the FPSs of all time

Just another day in the life of a Louisianian

Ah yes, the American Hunting Association, otherwise known as *looks at Logo* ......Ow- *immediately assinated by AhA operative*

I wonder if the German meant new Orleans? Saint joan of Arc was known as the maid of Orleans..I dont know 😅grasping at straws possibly. I've journeyed around the South and do like the bayous. Loved New Orleans, incredible food..amazing nightlife, great people and vibrant mix of cultures and customs. No Djinns though. 😂Gins, yes..Djinns, no.

Im from latrobe your welcome for paid football. Heres another factoid, Mr. Rodgers is from here.
