Steef1o1 02-20-2005 11:19 AM

Typhonblue does have alot of good point outs I think Stranger might actually be a teen.Stranger might be like 13 or 14 and the olden steef might be 20 mabye they age fast but live longer than the other oddworld species.

Plus Stranger not only *doesn't* have horns, he doesn't have the large bald spots where horns should be if they were cut, suggesting they haven't grown in yet. *And* there's also the numerous referances to his "scrawniness" and such by the grubs. Plus a good explaination for why the armor had horns was because it was for young steef who didn't have their horns yet.

if he has no horns what are those sticking up out of his hat?

heres a closer look

PS i agree with typhonblue, after all those could be ears.

Steef1o1 02-20-2005 01:45 PM

Thats just his ears you can see them move when stranger gets captured and woken by the outlaws there also to small to be horns.I don't know if the armor with the boat has starting horns or just like a viking helmet the last armor you get may have his real horns grown in or just on the helmet.

Shell Man 02-20-2005 11:30 PM

Yeah, those are Stranger's ears. That's why when he talks to Sekto on the phone, he puts the earpiece up to the top of his hat.

Maybe someone should ask Alf?

Phat_man 02-21-2005 04:35 PM

Yeah, they are just his ears.

Scrubs 03-06-2005 06:33 AM

No he doesn't have horns, i agree that it is because he is a teenager or that he isn't spiritually "centered" I also think the armour with horns is for young steefs just like Stranger, before they mature into an adult.

Its weird he doesn't have horns because on the discovery channel documentary Lorne says he has to have horns, but he was just talking about steef, who we at the time believed was strangers name not species, so he meant the species had to have horns.

which means that there should be a good plot for stranger 2, plus what happened to those fat kung fuw creatures and do you remember that fmv with grubbs dancing ar around a fire!!? Can't wait for SW2 just make it alittle longer though ;)

Esus 03-06-2005 06:49 AM

The fact that the helmets Stranger is given have horns on them, and that they are called 'Ancient Steef' armours in the invetory screen would seem to suggest having no horns at Stranger's age/size would be nothing new to the Grubbs or Steef.

Sekto is an Octigi.

Obviously, they latch onto a victims head, and take control of it's body. Sekto, as seen in game, latched onto the Olden Steef's head. I imagine that the Olden Steef was sort of the Steef leader, seeing as how he had the biggest horns (you can see the Olden Steef's horns mounted in the phone call video).

He dammed the river to build up water for Sekto Springs (bottled water company). He killed off all the Steef, at first, because they would never allow him to build a dam, because the Grubbs need water to survive, and Steef are Grubb guardians, so they kinda go hand in hand.

But I think after the first few Steef slaughters, and Sekto was able to build the Dam, hunting Steef became sort of a sport for Sekto.


That should answer everything.

why is there a glukon in that picture

Paco_the_Taco 04-10-2005 11:51 AM

Because Glukkons are members of the Oktogi family.

Oddish 04-12-2005 01:37 PM

We know that the Old Steef has cutt off horns, but I 've noticed in Sekto's office , in the middle of the wall there is no steef head, but only the horns. I thing those belonged to the Old Steef. And I think that happend becuase the Ocitig wouldn't fit on the Steef with those massive horns.

that jerk 04-23-2005 03:24 PM

Sekto could've latched around the horns and cut them off later on the Old Steef, and probably didn't need a new host, considering he only wanted Strangers head and not the rest of his body.

It would but... Ouchies!

that jerk 04-25-2005 05:24 PM

An octigi probably doesn't have bones, though so he could probably just fit around them.

Dark Elite_H2 05-07-2005 06:53 AM

Sekto was a steef. He cut off his horns to save himself from being hunted, I believe. He probably mounted em' right above him in his office, 'cause there's no steef head with them horns, so it must be his.

No, that's not even close. Secto is the Octigi (the octopus guy on the Steef's head during the game and the one swimming away at the end of the movie). If you listen to the Grubbs, they say "Look, it's the Olden Steef!" Secto (being a parasite) was latched onto the Steef's head and was controlling him. He probably shaved off the horns so that he could fit on the Steef's head.

GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, LADY!!! ;)

Dark Elite_H2 05-08-2005 02:46 PM

Nu-uh. The Grubb said, "Look! It's the old Steef!" He looked nearly like Stranger, and he had horn spots from where he had horns, so he's the Steef. I know it!

God, read my previous post.

How come when Secto was talking on the phone earlier in the game his head was a purple amphibious thing and not that of a Steef? Becuase SECTO IS A PARASITE. He was the octopus thing in the water that swam away at the end of the movie. He was latched onto the Olden Steef's head, and then escaped at the end.

And besides, If ya look at the olden steefs face, you definatly must see those circular spots, wich were left from the "legs thingies" of Sekto.

And the fact that those steef helmets were only worn by youg steefs is false, (i guess) 'cause i think that old experienced steefs cut off their horns, put them on a strong helmet and wore THAT, for more protection in battle.

And i've got a question: How the hell did Sekto got that much moolah?
He needs to pay ALL wolvarks, he buy's cool suits for himself and his glocktigi guards. If you notice, the glocktigi on the picture a few messages above is normal, but the glocktigi in the link underneath this mesage wear a robot like suit, and special helmets, or horns(do they grow horns or is it armour?).

see here for a look at the 'horns and their robot suit like thing' of the glocktigi

Dark Elite_H2 05-09-2005 12:42 PM

Sekto Springs Dam? He takes the water from the Mongo River, and sells his Spring Water from the Mongo River.

And I don't get's the part of Sekto bein' a Parasite. He looks like a steef, he has same four legs as a Steef, and he used to have horns. I-it just doens't make's sense to me....

Oddish 05-09-2005 01:33 PM

The "squid" you see at the end possed the old Steef who was controled. Who became known as Sekto.

Dark Elite_H2 05-09-2005 01:38 PM

OH! Now that makes sense, I guess. That evil-lookin' thing controlled Sekto? That's why he had different eyes and a different voice. That sounds true!

By Jove, she's got it. :spin: Now how did Oddish's definition differ from mine?

And Sekto Springs Dam is the name of his company.

Dark Elite_H2 05-09-2005 01:42 PM

Your's was confusin'. Oddish's was more detailed. Get's it? ;) 'Nyways, yeah that's the name of the co., but Sekto made money off'a the spring water he took's from the Mongo River.

Yes he did.

Who knows what other corporations belong to Sekto Industries? There could be a hundred sources of income to pay for the Wolvarks.

Dark Elite_H2 05-15-2005 11:40 AM

Nope. So far, the only way Sekto got's money was from teh Mongo river. Remember, he owns 'de Mongo River. He get's a lotta money fer workin' 'dat

Just because that's the only company that's been revealed to us doesn't mean it's the only company in existence.

Well his company was called sekto spring's and with a name like that he can only run a battled water companie.And as for his income to pay the wolvarks:sekto's dam sucks up hell of alot of water,enoth to fill maybe a million bottles and if those are sold for 3 moolah a bottle(or maybe 7 and he saids its french spring water *AKA 7 moolah rip-off*)and sell's all those million's of bottle's he makes hell of an income.

Dark Elite_H2 05-17-2005 04:25 PM

I din't say that it was the only company Sekto had. It's jut one we know of so far. It's probably the only company Sekto owned. It's the only one we know of throughout the game.
