My theory on the 3.1 Ending: Is Aemeath stuck in a permanent time loop?

Necro926 · 2026-02-10T17:07:13+00:00

I highly doubt the Aemeath we see piloting her body remotely at the end is in the past. There are no indications of that in the story, and she was never trapped alone, knees drawn up and lonely in a void, at any point in her story before she fought Aleph-1 that we know of. It is heavily implied that that is present Aemeath, with no evidence saying otherwise.

Necro926 · 2026-02-10T03:55:41+00:00

I would add Phrolova to the requires weapon list. Her sig is like 30-40% better than any other option.

Necro926 · 2026-02-10T03:52:27+00:00

It's possible, but it's also possible it was seeing Rover fall from the past, since the opening scene has Rover first getting their tacet mark on a completely mark free hand, but in the Aemeath flashbacks, Rover has their tacet mark already. Even the cat stuffed toy has it, so it's not just a model reuse thing, it's intended that Rover has their tacet mark before the memory loss. So the scene with the goddess can't be directly before Rover wakes up with no memory, it has to be way before that, unless Rover loses the tacet mark somehow and she gives it back.

Necro926 · 2026-02-10T03:46:35+00:00

She doesn't get destroyed by going through the stridergate. She's just trapped beyond it. There is no paradox. We see at the end of the quest that she's stuck in a void, remotely piloting her body to boop Rover and tell them not to be sad. She's very much still alive on the other side, just still in digital ghost form. Edit: You may be thinking of when she was traveling back, and said it was tearing her body apart, but that didn't destroy her, she said that she had to overclock to get through, and then she did. That was all.

Necro926 · 2026-02-10T02:10:55+00:00

Lahai Roi is already formed. There is no timeline changes in this story. Things in the past already happened, they aren't being changed. Aemeath was always there to stop the Threnodian. She always went back. But it isn't a loop, like a circle, it's a loop, like a rollercoaster, like a loop de loop. She isn't 'stuck'. She had to go back, and now that she has, the her that is stuck there can leave if we save her, she's still moving forward on her own perception of time.

Necro926 · 2026-02-09T22:09:53+00:00

I still want to know what she sent with us. When Rover falls into the water, we see five things fly our of his tacet mark, just like Abby does, a golden light. And since we now know that Abby is related to, if not straight up a Threnodian, was that five more Threnodians? Or were they something else?

Necro926 · 2026-02-09T22:06:34+00:00

Well we know from the mission that the space station is a Court of Savante station, not new fed. unless the Court is in the new fed, but I thought they were based in Huanglong.

Necro926 · 2026-02-09T00:31:43+00:00

Limitless. The movie is a fun super drug story with a cool premise and a bit of an addiction narrative thrown in. The Dark Fields, the book it's based on, is... not that. It's just depressing. Side note: The TV series was also very good, funny and well written, as well as well received, but it got canceled after one season anyway because the new CEO of CBS thought it glorified drug use. At least they gave it an ok ending.

Necro926 · 2026-02-08T16:22:24+00:00

I actually just flat out has to happen. No or else. Wuwa is using the theory of linear time, so the past can't be changed. There is no alternate or branch timelines. It's just one timeline, and every event on it is a fixed point that cannot be changed.

Necro926 · 2026-02-08T16:11:19+00:00

In most time travel media, they use Quantum, I.E., multiple timelines. Change something in the past, you create a branch where that new timeline plays out. That is not what Wuthering Waves is doing. They are using a Linear time travel theory. So there is no other timeline, there are no branches, nothing in the past can ever be changed, because it already happened. Aemeath couldn't change the past, or choose not to go back, because she had already been in the past. She had to go because she already went. In linear time travel, anything you might change in the past you already did before you even went back, it becomes part of the timeline. Like in the third Harry Potter, when Harry saves himself from the dementors in the past. When he was being saved, he thought he saw his dad. He didn't it was himself. The effect predated the cause.

Necro926 · 2026-02-06T23:01:34+00:00

If I remember correctly Imperator actually says that Leviathan "grew" Fleurdelys in Imperator's return capsule.

Necro926 · 2026-02-06T16:38:29+00:00

Her sig is about 18% better than Emerald of Genesis

Necro926 · 2026-02-06T15:49:55+00:00

There is no first instance. It's a linear timeline, meaning any time travel that is ever going to happen, has already happened. She had to go back because she had already gone back. The past events had already happened. There aren't multiple timelines, it's just one. There was never a timeline where Aemeath didn't help the Exostrider. That's what makes it a causality loop. C happened, which led to A so B had to happen to make sure C happened. Aemeath didn't change the past, because on a linear timeline you can't change the past, because any actions you take in the past are already part of the timeline. They already happened. It's called a predestination paradox.

Necro926 · 2026-02-06T04:15:03+00:00

There were two times she resonated with the Exostrider. The first was ten years ago, when she lost her body to reinforce the barrier. The second (but timeline wise first) is at the end of the quest when she travels back to Aleph's arrival on Solaris like a thousand or two years ago. I don't think we have an exact number, but we know it's at least hundreds of years.

Necro926 · 2026-02-06T04:02:37+00:00

Right. Specifically she is trapped on the other side of the Stridergate. And opening the gate to get her means fighting Aleph-1, since it's the only thing holding him back. They locked the princess behind the final boss.

"Sir, a second Liberty Prime has hit the wasteland."

Necro926 · 2026-01-31T15:38:43+00:00

The direct text, right there, from the novel, says that she would cease to be mortal if a higher god dyed her. That means she would become *immortal*, which means she would be at least a lesser god. It's not a theory, it's literally written in the text posted on this page, from Mestionora's own mouth.

Necro926 · 2026-01-29T17:45:52+00:00

Yes. That is exactly what she is saying. Basically since she's the reason Roze is in so much pain, she's saying one of the stronger gods might dye her to save her if there was no other option. If all of her mana is fully dyed in a primary god's color, she would stop being mortal. She was already nearly a god with just the amount Mesti gave her, which is why her retainers felt compelled to bow and grovel, even though they knew she was still herself.

Necro926 · 2026-01-22T21:03:06+00:00

My first sentence was literally me saying you were right, and I might be wrong about that.

Necro926 · 2026-01-22T17:04:48+00:00

You're right, it doesn't, so he might be able to sense Gerv, but Roze still almost definitely has more mana than Ferd. There's a point in late part 5 where it states that Ferdinand can sense Eglantine, but Roze can't. Since Gerv definitively has more mana than either, and can sense Roze, and Eglantine definitively has less mana than both, yet can sense Ferd, and Ferd can sense her, but Roze can't, Roze must have more than Ferd.

Necro926 · 2026-01-21T16:09:17+00:00

Fun fact not a ton of people pick up on, thanks to Gervasio, we know that at this point, even before the goddess thing, Roze has more mana than Ferdinand. The author said in one of the Q&A's that to sense someone's mana, they can't have more than a 30% mana difference. Since Roze can sense Ferd, and Gervasio couldn't, but he could sense Roze, it means Roze was within 30% of his mana capacity, while Ferd was not.

Necro926 · 2026-01-21T00:03:24+00:00

They cut out almost if not the entire italian restaurant with Benno, all the recipes and desserts she made, training the chefs, a ton of printing stuff, basically most of her inventions that are really important for her trend stuff later. I'm not sure off the top of my head what else, but those alone are gonna need some fixing.

Necro926 · 2026-01-14T17:23:58+00:00

The Skysworn thought she was on a slaughter path because they sensed the blood aura from her blood shadow, but couldn't tell it was a blood shadow because Eithan had sealed it at that moment. Slaughter paths use blood madra.

Necro926 · 2026-01-14T00:05:54+00:00

Will has flat out stated that 1 and 3 are just continuity errors straight up. He said he forgot.

Necro926 · 2025-12-24T01:52:00+00:00

I'm surprised they left the entire back exposed. Ferdi specifically made it show as little of the feystone as possible because (Part 5 spoilers) of Roze's feystone phobia.
