Can someone explain the new Boss to me?

so I just watched a video by joe, and she says that the new boss is the karnak twin that died and was resurrected? I could not follow whatever was happening. but can someone help me understand what is even happening?

two punies came, wanted to take rashuns.
ogryn stomped punies’ asses.

little punie so flat, other punies used her for spoiled stim-juice.

ogryn smashed their dis til ery (and many other punies)

slightly bigger puny ate many rashuns and became fat floating puny.

now ogryn real mad cause rashuns gone, stomped fat puny until farts came out.

ogryn got rashuns back.

the end

somehow I am even more confused now.

We fought the Karnak Twins during the carnival arc. We killed them during the boss fight, but in the final cutscene you could see one of their fingers twitching.

Then it turned out during Horror in the Dark event that some kind of heretic priest saved Rinda Karnak from dying and she assaulted the strike in those missions while a mysterious voice of some old man talks to us about fate and embracing the Grandfather (Nurgle).

Then comes the Dark Communion arc. When the strike team reaches the cathedral where some kind of ritual takes place, you can see Rodin Karnak’s dead body crucified on top of a chaos altar with some kind of machine pumping him with blighted stimms which were created in Warren-19 district. We disrupted the ritual, but looks like he still resurrected with the help of some daemon.

They put his soul into a body of Psyker. That is Spillway’s new boss. The dialogues in the mission imply that he comes back to life as we kill him again and again in this new mission. Basically typical for Nurgle cycle of death and rebirth.

Thanks, that clears things up, though I do not understand why they needed to recycle him, he could have been their father, or someone related to them that was a psyker, like a new character rather than him resurrected like some NPC you cant kill off.

There’s a prophecy in the heretic ranks that says “The bond between siblings has great power”. That’s why they’re using Rodin, they think Karnak Twins are their key to taking over Atoma.

SPOILER for the story: the whole point of this phrase is that it’s actually a bamboozle, talking about Zola and Wolfer, which are highly likely to be brother and sister, and NOT Karnak Twins.

you make a great ogryn translator.

Take the campaign missions as battles that the Imperium is losing and it makes sense. Yeah, we may have foiled Dark Communion’s ritual about 200 times each since that map was added, but the cult actually won that ‘battle’ and now Rodin Karnak is empowered with Nurgle fatness.

Yeah I knew about that, but I feel like that is almost an abandoned plot point.

In a way this feels correct, but the twin ended up there in the cathedral because we killed him. so there were wins here and there.

Both twins appear to be blessed by nurgle now one being the prophet of decay and other the herald of admonition… at least Ronin now has lore reasons of us doing repeat mission as he gets new body every time…

Brunt seems correct… though referring about daemon

He ties into Sororitas with defiled SoB relics all around his fight… perhaps corrupting the holy brings the daemons more power… they were mentioned collecting relics in prior events.

yeah we win some lose some, and then some are stalemated. some they’ve overhauled to where it appears like the cult is winning, eg. hab drayko. they made the nurgle tree more nurgly and added the new minigame for it where you stab it with medicae probes, with all the dialogues from the overseers now talking about how the tree won’t die for good.

I wish Hab-block Dreyko can randomly switch between the old finale and the current finale.

No, the cult did not win, as they did not get what they wanted. The ritual’s goal was probably to summon Kul’garod (the greater demon that now possesses Ronik) directly. We disrupted the ritual but they were able to still get something out of it.

I wish there was something reflecting that, like they prepared 3 or 4 body types, or made it someone randomizer character creationy, but with nurgle addons that would indicate is same perosn but different bodies. rather than some fat dude. could have been the same armor different people. that is what i would have done, and different genders too. with voice modulator, that projected sub voice of the character that was being hijacked.

TLDR:
Heretic spark head down in sewers. Again.

We make him dead. Again.

this is lazy explanation for the plebs, I want actual detail, they put in the effort, needs to be appreciated. you catch me?

MAYBE
