Twin mirror secret ending4/11/2023 ![]() More specifically, it’s a hybrid of Claus’ emotions and the Masked Man’s inner appearance, as the robot does not look threatening, yet it still holds the features of the Masked Man. The first being a silver robot-like figure with his left eye covered by some sort of device (looks similar to a scouter), leading us to believe that it’s Claus. In the first part of the video, you see two odd images distorted. Lucas just goes batshit, plain and simple.Īfter having gone through so much in his life, losing his mother and his brother, his father leaving him on multiple occasions, seeing the town he grew up in become corrupted by an extreme evil and then finding out that his dead brother had been transformed into nothing more than a puppet … I’d say that’s plenty of damage to the poor boy’s psyche. I like to go along with the simplest of explanations. Others say that it’s Giygas attempting to re-enter the world through the horrifying state of mind that Lucas is in. The question remains though, what manifested into Lucas’ Nightmare? Some say that it’s the dragon that awakes after the final needle is pulled testing Lucas. After seeing what’s believed to be Lucas’ Nightmare, it’s my conclusion that Ness had it good by comparison. Those of you who played through Mother 2/Earthbound will recall the battle with Ness’ Nightmare, the Mani Mani Statue. I believe that sequence two of the unused Masked Man animation is a deathly looking Claus haunting Lucas right before this:Ĭredits go to MoupiMoupi and yurugu3 from youtube for the video This degenerative state of Lucas’ mind is what also is believed to be the actual final battle, after the Masked Man. Lucas having been crushed by the inability to save his brother in any way would then lead into what is referred to (by many people speculating on the issue) as Lucas’ Nightmare. Claus dying without having been “saved”, would have destroyed Lucas emotionally. The removal of the helmet, revealing Claus, was to display that Claus had been reached by Hinawa’s words and Lucas’ determination. With sequence one, the death of the Masked Man while still having his helmet on is a huge deal, as it touches on what I’d spoken of with the “what ifs”. Sequence Three: Exactly what it looks like, the inner mechanics of the Masked Man being operated on. Sequence Two: The beginning imagery of Lucas’ nightmare. Sequence One: The death of the Masked Man without removal of his helmet. My personal take on each of the sequences is: The popular idea (and the one I agree with) of what the Masked Man sprites were intended for is simply more displays of Claus having become inhuman, but having lost his humanity further than what was displayed in the game. The last sequence isn’t even an animation, but a display of the M.M. The second is the short animation of what looks like the M.M. The first animation sequence is the longest, being the downfall and explosion. Now obviously with something like unused data it’s anyone’s guess as to what the data was intended for, but obviously this time around, we’re going off of what I think.įirst off, take note that the animation is not in the order of things happening, but just a compilation of the unused Masked Man sprites. What you see are Masked Man sprites found within the unused game data. Strangely enough, Shigesato Itoi may have originally planned for the end of the game to make those “What ifs” a reality. From Hinawa’s pleading to the bastardization of the Love Theme becoming pure throughout the fight, every moment in the game had hit exactly where it needed to.īut, what if Hinawa’s words never reached Claus? What if Claus had no semblance of humanity left in him to bring out? What if Lucas never had the option to simply take the hits and hope Claus came to his senses and instead, had to completely destroy the Masked Man without holding anything back, without any hope of his brother being saved? The one on one showdown between Lucas and the Masked Man, Claus, his own brother, was just a step short of tearing the players heart out of their chest. Those of us who have beaten the Mother 3 have fully experienced the sorrow filled moments during the final confrontation at the location of the seventh needle. I do not claim to be correct in any way, shape or form. ![]() This post will also contains my opinions on the particular subject. I’ll punch a puppy while impersonating Chad Concelmo if those who have not beat the game do not leave this very instant. Seriously, if you haven’t beaten the game, go away. By “elsewhere”, I mean go play the game right now. If you have not completed the game, I advise taking a stoll elsewhere until you do finish it. WARNING: This post contains major spoilers for Mother 3.
