Hi! Like the forums so thought I would join. By the way, I say ideas but everyone here probably knows for sure what I’m talking about.
In Zwei, when flying through the ruins of Elpis, we encounter two huge black flying "thing"s. Y’know, the ones you can shoot repeatedly for tons of points. In the cutscene that precedes Episode 3, another, or probably one of the same destroys a small group of Mechannian ships.
In Episode 3 itself there are two of them to fight and the Gigra which is the boss of the level uses one to fly through the forest. This is the same Gigra which you can find in Zoah forest in Saga if you fly around enough. And near the end when we see Shelcoof falling from the sky, loads of them appear.
It’s kinda stupid but I’d just like to figure out what the heck they are and why there wasn’t a proper explanation in any of the games. By the way, I don’t have an xBox or Orta so don’t spoiler me!
I think you mean Golia, not Gigra, but still, I see your point. Personally, I think they’re just large automatons that can carry out monster dirtywork.
Whoops, yeah, Golia. It’s confusing!! I wonder if they’re actually conscious. They just sound like ships or automatons like you said, I just wondered why there were so many around Shelcoof.
Yeah I see what you mean but there are several going about which aren’t with a Golia in Zwei. And if so what do they do when they aren’t ferrying Golia about? Lurk in the forest and spit mini monsters at you. I thought they were Mecchanian as well and the Golia just “abducted” one but then I saw loads flying from Shelcoof in the FMV near the end and was confused. Probably nothing in it!
