What did Qyburn do to the Mountain in Game of Thrones? 

The way the Mountain looked so indestructable in the final fight with his brother, they should have him up at Winterfell fighting the white walkers all by himself

If Gregor did become a wight, maybe Sandor would have to kill his brother with fire? Poetic justice.

The hound killed him like 3-4 times during their fight, he is lucky that he got the invulnerability

Nah he just fed him some chickens, chickens to the cleganes is like a healing potion is to video game characters

Qyburn is so creepy, without overacting and even without being really evil to.

I think the mountains consciousness was sort of when you wake up, or when you are sick, and you’re really out of it. I think that the ‘procedure’ was supposed to remove his consciousness, and turn him completely obedient, but his hatred for his brother kept his consciousness in check. His body was dead, but his hatred kept him alive.

i thought it was funny when qyburn sees a wight and is all amazed, it's like dog, you made an undead guy...

The Mountain zombie slamming dude's head into the wall so casually... I just love that scene so much.

Rather than something like a zombie, I think he's pretty much been made into the equivalent of a flesh Golem. That can carry out rudimentary commands, differentiate between targets, attack, defend, etc. It seems that the "process" of turning him into such a thing, removed his personality, sense of pain and likely many other things. I think Qyburn used, not just sorcery, but a blend of that and alchemy to complete this process.

As I see it, since The Mountain's blood was poisoned by the manticore venom, Qyburn emptied all of his tainted blood and replaced it with a medieval equivalent to Oxycyte synthetic blood, hence his white eyes and skin.

He conducted Necromancy, for which he perfected while at the Citadel but was banished for crafting the dark arts there.

Qyburn might be the man with the most knowledge out there, there is more to him than we get to see. He probably has some dark secrets and knowledge beyond our understanding

Could Bran warg into the Mountain the way he did Hodor?

Qyburn went from a half dead, wanna be measter to hand of the queen. A remarkable task, knowing that the grand measters of Oldtown expelled him for his “questionable tactics”. One of the most influential characters of the series.

Glad you didn't show Oberyns head popping I hate that shit

If the night king gets to him, what does he become? An ultra mega zombie?

Well whatever happened to him, he's ridiculously powerful!! Should be interesting to see how he fights in season 8.

The Mountain vs a Giant. That would have been Awesome!!!!!

"I used to be the greatest swordsman in Westeros, then I took a knife to the hand." -Jaime Lannister

When I was a child, my mom told me, "The one thing no one can ever take away from you is your education." She was a chemist and biologist. In my teens, she taught me how to parallel park and how to back a trailer. She was a wise woman.

He put Joffreys head on him, see the small head and its blue. That's why they're is a loyalty to Cersei

I really like The Qyburn character, and i love how ahead of his time he is in Westeros

Pretty sure they just discourage magic because they'll eventually run out of Valyrian steel to keep producing symbolic links ;D

Now the title should be ,What The Mountain did to Qyburn

At this point, I think we are talking stone cold necromancy here. In the books at least. In the show..The princes knowledge of poison was near peerless. I think Qyburn drained his poisoned blood, reversed the effects of the poison with some type of crude battery electric, and pumped it back in. The back and forth between altered poisons in his cells has created a type of stasis effect. The Mountain is in a living limbo...

He became the final boss

I would have loved to see the mountain go up against Wun Wun before he turned into a zombie, and to see his face when he realizes that he is now just like all those poor small folk when they were faced with him. Can you imagine? A man who has Ben the largest man alive since he was a teenager, and turned into the worlds biggest bully, is now facing someone literally 5 times his size. That would have been EPIC!

This subject is very intriguing and pleasantly creepy as hell. Great choice. Keep them coming.

I had always assumed the head they sent to Dorne was the dwarfs head that some men tried to sell to Cersei believing it to be Tyrions, some types of dwarfism can cause the head to be slightly enlarged, so your interpretation gives me something new to consider.

Some of GRRM's veiled foreshadowing... in previous chapter, Arya asks Thoros "Could you bring back a man without a head"

I've just discovered this channel and I absolutely LOVE it! The videos are really well put together and it's so clear that you've a genuine interest in your subject matter. Well done and thank you. I've subscribed, which is something that I rarely do, so high praise indeed!

bridge4 Your the first other I've read that's picked up that The Mountain is un-dead and may become controlled by the Night King the further South he travels. Well done!

Rip Daddy Mantell, ull be remembered as the viper in battle and bed (Great vid btw)

Man, this type of videos are the best, very telling! not like others... speculating about season 8 every week... Keep making more.

I think he used chemistry to just stop his body from any kind of change. No damage nothing. He does retain his memories so must have his head. Atleast in the show.

I had missed the part where they explained they changed The Mountain, so when I saw him again I was like 'WTF happened to him?!' so thanks for this

Qyburn has grew on me, he's one of my favorite characters right now, main characters have turned kinda boring

Both lizards, reptiles, amphibians, and some sea creatures. Have powerfull regenative healing capabilities. Which were extracted then used. To heal mountian man.

I always thought he was somehow turned into a wight, that Qyburn knew something of the White Walker transformation process and adapted it for his own use.

I always thought of this as GRRM wanting to blend a taste of the story of Frankenstein to Game of Thrones

I know this is a somewhat older video, but after the temple is destroyed by Wildfire they show a scene with the nun tied to the table. The Mountain takes off his helmet and if you turn the lighting on your device up really high, you can see his head and his face.

Complex. All this time I thought chyburn just dialysized the mountain and, being that it was completely unsanitary, the mountain survived but was permanently disabled in some ways.

The way he says ''Oh no'' when Cersei asks if the treatment will weaken the mountain is so fucking perfect

thanks bridge, i hope dani and jon realize how useful this guy can be after the war. this guy is crazy enough to be like washington and invent vaccines or something insanely helpful

Frankenmountain. I have read the books and your explanations are right on! Keep up the great work!

In my opinion, Qyburn has created a wight, as I am sure somewhere deep in the citadel there are scrolls and books detailing the ancient magical practices which I'm sure include how to bring the dead back to life. Noting that there is a whole study regarding magic, that is probably sparsely studied giving him plenty of time and opportunity to study whatever he found interesting, uninterrupted. And I do think at some point the Night King will take control of the mountain and wreak havoc from within kings landing. Currently the mountain is loyal to Qyburn, being that he basically created him, not Cersi. And seeing that Qyburn is very interested in magic and the like, it's in his best interests for the magically imbued characters to survive, so he can continue his research. 🤷‍♂️

Through alchemy, Qyburn has perhaps turned the Mountain into a golem, much like Frankensteins monster

Even though I have yet to become a book reader (strictly series watcher as of now) I binge on all of your videos. I just love how you connect the dots and as soon as I’m not poor, I’m buying all of the books lol. And videos like these bring on the desire to be a book reader all the more! I can’t wait. Thank you for all that you do. I can tell you’re extremely intelligent and well spoken.

Well, turn out that he didnt have the loyalty to Qyburn as it needed tho

Well, George R. R. Martin is very big on (not just) history but mythology as well, and I think Martin wanted to Allude to was that it was some type of Zombification process (of African/caribbean mythology) or mythology taken from jewish legend of gollums. basically reanimated servants whose souls are trapped or have been replaced by use of science and magic.

pretty good video, i must say so. i like that you show your refferences on screen. Possibly the only person i know who does this and i find it exceptionally effective. keep these up! ☝

Annnnnnnnddddd turns out...... He still has a head 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is a very interesting theory and insight into Qyburn! I am very curious to see how Qyburn's story unfolds as well as the Mountain! This is my first time seeing your video! I enjoy seeing all the quotes you throw into your video! You brought up the idea of the Mountain fighting the army of the dead, I think that would be so cool to see the mountain in action again and fighting along some Westoros's strongest and most skilled warriors!

I think he used a Tyrian lookalike head and put it on the mountains body. Dorne requested to have the mountains head sent to them in the books. Also could be a white walkers head. Maybe the one that attacked Lord Commander Mormont in the first book? I have other theories but I think it's a Tyrian lookalike

Bro top notch video you definitely know your stuff thank you for your video it explains everything I was wondering about the mountain and why his face was like that at the end

Thank you for putting the book references in the video. It really helps punctuate points when you put full quotes in. Plus people that care more can pause and read it all.

I still love how aroused Qyburn was when he saw the wight. Do not underestimate that shady clever SOB, he may end up on the throne in the end.

Even when Gregor is an undead magic zombie he's still nowhere strong enough to fight me

Great vid as always, you really are "a bridge4 us to reach greater knowledge"

I think Rob Starks head is on the mountain. If not.. Tywin's head and soul is trapped inside him to watch as his legacy and the Lannister's burn to the ground.

I wonder what the mountain smells like now

Good topic Kev! I've always wondered, does Qyburn control him? I've also been wondering about them other Kingsgaurds.. Rhee pointed it out to me.. she said "look at their eyes, they don't look normal.." & she's right! Also, they didn't budge😲 I mean, I know.. they're "trained" to stand still.. but THAT still? Like zombies? I don't trust that weird little man.. I wouldn't put it past him to experiment on more than just Frankenmount.. (& I wouldn't put it past Cersai to give the o.k.) That gleem he gets in his eyes when he has the opportunity to perform human experiments gives me the willies.. L♥ve your vids- Appreciate all your hard work-👏 *Always* a pleasure Kevo Thanx ♥ 💙💚💜💗💙💚💜💗💙💚💜💗💙

Awesome!!! Those last words sums it up

I thought he was going to say “so you can make your own mountain as well”

LOVE THESE VIDEOS BRIDGE!!!!

Your videos are so interesting, keep up the good work.

Great video! Just subbed and belled. I hope you do more videos on more of these mysteries from the books and show.

you my friend did an awesome job. It made my co-workers come to my PC to watch it alongside with me lol. good job.

Who wants to see - Mountain vs Night king

Looove your videos and I'm looking forward to your Art of Healing video! GRRM dropping the bomb that Beric and Jon (and I guess Lady Stoneheart should be included too) are basically wights made from fire has lead to so many new theories. This has made me wonder if Patchface (one of my favorite mysterious characters) is a "water wight." And if he is, who resurrected him? Do the Deep Ones have a part in the wars to come? Obviously it won't be included in the show because of the time limit. What are your thoughts? If your already planning on covering this in your upcoming video I'll just wait and watch it. :)

Thanks for the upload. You are greatly appreciated.

He fed him demonflakes....without milk

Creepy as he was, I'd have loved to pick Qyburn's brain. He knew things most maesters wouldn't dare learn.

I've been curious as to the links of raising the dead between Qyburn and the Nightking. Assume they both use black magic, albeit Qyburn combines this with alchemy of some sort. (If anyone of you is familiar with Magic: The Gathering, you could view it as a difference in the same way that Liliana and Geralf both raise dead by with different means and with similar but not the same results.) I'm curious as to the state of the raised dead differ. It appears to me, from watching the show, that the wights of the Nightking are mindless killing machines, the white walkers are sentient undead who controll the wights, and the Nightking commands rather than controls the white walkers. If we assume that Ser Robert Strong (henceforth SRS) is also a sentient undead, then perhaps the Nightking cannot control him? I've also been pondering two outcomes in story progression concerning Qyburn. One is that, after the white walkers breach the Wall, Qyburn convinces Cercei that they may need an army, strong and fearless, to combat the white walkers and be given the means to create more "soldiers" like SRS by kidnapping, killing and raising denizens of King's Landing - something that might also prove insanely useful in the upcoming war with Daenarys and Jon. Another outcome is that Qyburn still controls SRS and might seize the opportunity to claim the power by killing Cercei now that Jaime is gone. A rather loose thought I base solely on the stereotype of necromancers being true to themselves alone, for whatever reason they may have.

Loved this video man! Subscribed!

Your research and articulation of knowledge is spot on. Keep it up. Always looking forward to know more about GOT.

He's a necromancer!

The Mountain basically became the GOT version of Darth Vader. Face mostly hidden by helmet welded shut over mouth but underlying face discolored and disfigured. Hell, Qyburn even looks a little like the Sith Emperor.

You are the only one i heard mention the Mountain zombie & night king theory, greatminds think alike.

I think we need Qyburn's today. People who aren't afraid of getting their hands dirty, but this curiosity has its limits.

Nice job. This is the re-upload right? I commented on it before. Can't remember what I said before, but I'm sure it was insightful and profound!

To make a correction to "Magic has always been around". It is revealed when Danny is at the House of the Undying that magic was indeed gone from the world. The Warlocks did not have any powers until her Dragons were born, her bringing dragons back into the world also brought magic back into the world. And it's why the Warlocks wanted the Dragons.

I have been curious about Qyburn for a while... thank you for this video

He's got the mountain hooked on kings landings best meth

Isn't really easy to kill a white walker giant? If you only need one dragon-glass dagger or tipped spear to kill a white walker, a dead giant should be defeated way easier than a living giant. (R.I.P Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun)

idk he looked pretty ridiculous in Season 8. Usually GoT is pretty good with makeup and props but he looked like Frankenstein literally from the 30s.

He gave him some bane juice 👌🏼😂😂

I remember people saying it was Joffrey's head on him

Great as always 👏🏼

I think Qyburn has the highest control over the mountain. He can command him I think, don't for get he would be dead if it was not for Rob Stark...

The way The Mountain disposed of Qyburn was so satisfying, he just got crushed like a bitch thinking he would command him haha.

Would be a weird twist if Qyburn sends Robert Strong to help John Snow fight the Wights and the White Walkers. All those undead pieces after the battle, would give Qyburn all the resources he needs to finish his research.

While I'm very curious about what riddles will be solved at the end of the series (Books and TV), but I'm also curious what mysteries will be unanswered when all is said and done. Any thoughts on what questions will be left unanswered?

"The man who trusts in spells is dueling with a glass sword as the children did" I'm assuming Children of the Forest about the NK correct?

Love these video's gives me a whole new different insight behind the show.

Best channel about the show that I've ever seen. Keep it up!

When you're drunk and peeing on the wall... and all of a sudden, the Mountain catches you... *BAM!* 🤤

Mountain died so the Mountain is almost a soulless beast - almost a zombie however a living zombie.

Great vid, thanks!

imagine a scene where the night king kills the mountain but he can't reanimate him due to him already having been revived as a zombie. Or maybe a scene where he doesn't kill him, but turns him then and there into his own zombie just by touching him since he's already dead
