What Are Tacet Discords? | Wuthering Waves Lore 

Bro is carrying my whole understanding of the WW lore

To add to the "Tacet Discords might not be all evil" there is currently I think 3 (technically 4) Tacet discords that canonically are not really aggressive to people. Spoilers to some World quests in the Dim forest and Whining Aix's Mire. 1st is the most non-significant one, if you look at the island where the Tower of Adversity is, there is a smaller island at the bottom, go to that island and walk around and you'll see a Hoartoise with an NPC, talking to this NPC, he informs you that he named the Hoartoise "Slowy", he tells you that doesn't know why Slowy is non-aggressive, but he has known him for a while and considers him a companion, he also warns you that every other Hoartoise on that island is just as aggressive as normal unlike Slowy. And yes, you can stand new Slowy and just chill with him, he won't be aggressive. (Side note, he has a health bar by the way, but its green like other friendly units like the soldiers, but I don't have the heart to actually attempt to attack him to see if I can hit him) 2nd is Hoohoo, from a Dim Forest World Quest, he is a Hoochief who seems to be friends with the researchers, the world quest also shows he understands what humans say, and can respond in kind, like when in the quest, the researchers didn't know where the last bulb was, so he responded by trying to get our attention and running to a direction. We follow him and find the last bulb, but not before we see him fighting his own species to basically protect us and the researchers, even fighting with us. The researchers also trust him enough to consider him a part of the research team, just as important as other people. 3rd and 4th technically are Mourning Aix and their mate, well Mourning Aix before their mate died. The world quest story showed that before, Mourning Aix and their mate were peaceful to the humans in the area and the humans even whistled songs at both of them and they responded back with their own songs. But because of a TD outbreak, their mate was targeted, they managed to save their mate but their mate was heavily injured. The humans noted that it seemed to call out to the humans for help with their mate but they couldn't do anything since they were busy with the TD outbreak. Afterward it tried and tried to resurrect its mate, at the cost of its own health and energy, explaining the name "Mourning Aix", now much more aggressive than before. The last pieces of their mate called out to us to help it convey its final farewell to Mourning Aix, and convince them to move on and live their life without them. This quest really was the biggest sign of "Tacet Discords aren't just evil" as it showed that Mourning Aix and its mate might have been fully sentient, not just the collection of memories from what they eat, showing that they can have alot of emotional depth. Mourning Aix is mourning a lost love one, thats alot more complicated than just repeating eaten memories.

I needed this video to understand the game lore thanks

I've been trying to keep track of the worldbuilding, but I also don't want to read the codex entries and notes and such, so I haven't sorted out the types of TDs. That's very interesting. I would guess that TDs aren't considered naturally evil per se, since they can be all kinds of "reverberations." But whether they are inherently evil might be something the story actually intends to discuss within itself. Some of the quests present TDs as potentially helpful (the Dim Forest quest, with Hoohoo), some directly raise the question of coexistence (the extremely poorly translated Tiger's Maw Mine quest), but at the same time I recall the TD hunter quest about the Bell Borne turtle has an NPC say that TDs always bring disaster regardless of their origins. I hope this isn't just contradiction from sloppy writing but rather a point to be elaborated on in the future.

This game really reminds me of God Eater especially the similarities between the tacet discords and aragamis

I don't think tds are evil. You wouldn't call a bear eating a person "evil". It's a natural thing to do for them

Bro keep up the pace and content it s really good

They could be monsters of the old world before humans existed

Thank you, finally some wuwa lore.

Awesome!

Bravo, you have studied a lot

Thank you for covering Wuwa lore. I really like the story and lore but sometimes it's very difficult to understand the words they use.

WuWa lore content let's goooooo

Alien made nanobots that work in similar style like gray goo. If normal human tried to attack them in melle range, they would just takeover their human body and consume them. This is why you see all guards in game use some type of guns that either cause elemental damage or sound damage wich causes the nanobots inside a creature to go haywire and consume itself. Resonators in game are more of a anti-body for them and are humans who evolved to counter them. (it probaly was not natural evolution, but human experiments). The gold ones that you find once you defeat them are half damaged or stunned bots. Once sucked in, the machine we use resets their programming.

All i know is Taoqi got big TDs

They remind me from a mix of Fiends from FF10, and a bit of the Shades/Gestalts from Nier Replicant considering that some of them act "human."

i always enjoy TD's

Did you just mention frieren!?!?!GRAHHH WTF IS AN AUTISM DIAGNOSIS 🔥💯💢🗣️

You know. this reminds me of the creation of the lotr world. After all if i remember correctly, Arda was create through music.

it reminds me of the pgr virus

Tacet Discord = Moonscorched like in Fear and Hunger.

I dont even know what Tacet means. From google it is a musical term, no wonder why

I seen theory videos of wundering waves lore

Imo TDs either: 1. initially rise from a realm similar to the collective unconscious (and probably feed on it) of C. G. Jung. 2. The game will take a more spiritual road and it will directly quote Indian spiritualism with the “Akashic Records” (a sort of etheric realm where all memories are contained, like a giant library), which is still very similar to the Collective Unconscious. The fact that the entire game revolves around musical terms enforces my idea, as frequencies are thought to be the fundamental components of all existence in many religions or spiritual ideologies like Buddhism. See also “The Word of God” in Christianism, Judaism, and many others like Gnosticism, where “The Sound” usually represent the very first act of the Divine. See also “The Faust” of Goethe. Would love if you could research these topics and see if there’s an actual explicit connection in-game.

For me the game feels like if death stranding was Genshinfied

Lol..i skipped the story but now that you summarized it it is actually interesting. It must have been an issue on the delivery of the story that makes me skip it instinctively.

And their mutated organisms their not tds

Tiddies

And yet besides the Login Music. There music... isn't anything that stands out despite being heavy on the Music theme. Genshin Really spoiled me on Music.

Kuro's version of a std.

The Tacet Discord are pretty much the same as the Honkai Beast in Hi3rd. From how they are structured, how they function and the ones behind them

Why couldn’t the game presented an awesome story like this? Instead just waifus shoved in our face

I wish they would have a better name than Tacet Discords. Aliens, The Corruption, Dissonance, Otherworldly, etc. would work better

First?

Yeah the lore of this is infinitely more confusing than HSR's lore. Because the game throws out what I call, "explosive Jargon Word vomit." Others may have different terms for that, but its what i feel it is. The game has this habit of constantly throwing out confusing and similar terms everywhere left and right, and seeming to expect you to either a) understand what they're talking about, or b) be impresed with the game with how many big made up words they throw at you in an attempt to appear intelligent. The hopes that big made up words automatically equals deep and compelling story. But it honestly took me out of the story quite a bit, as a full act in, and half the terms are still confusing as to what they're referring too. They definitely need a new story board director. Either way, thanks for this guide here. Id actually call this video almost a requirement for this game, if you're not planning to skip the cutscenes 😅
