They all take you to a school, the very school Blake and Lynn attended when they were children. Throughout the game, you’ll be struck by visions of the past at certain key points in the story. She does successfully flee the area and is found days later wandering the road, only then she was known as Jane Doe. So he lies to buy his daughter, who is named Anna, time to escape. He then ordered Ethan to cut the baby from his daughter, which he naturally couldn’t bring himself to do. Knoth raped his daughter (which isn’t considered rape in the cult) and got her pregnant. He’s a member of Knoth’s “family” but he seems to be on the outs with them after he did something against the rules. Shortly after meeting the heretics for the first time, you meet another interesting character, Ethan. After taking her they leave you be, which is another odd event in Outlast 2 as everyone else seems hellbent on killing you. The heretics take Lynn, presumably to have the supposed baby that’s growing inside of her killed. Reading certain documents shows that she loved caring for the children and looked at them as if they were blood relatives. It’s not clear if the child murdering is what caused Val to go her own separate way. It turns out they’re all human and are a rival faction of sorts to the Testament of New Ezekiel known as the Heretics. The cult eventually surrounds you but are killed by a group of what appears to be beasts lead by a woman. They seek to take your life, and to kill the growing anti-christ that is slowly forming within Lynn.
More perplexing is that Lynn keeps saying Knoth is wrong, yet won’t say anything else.Įither way, the Testament of New Ezekiel is hunting both of you. Blake is confused because as far as he knew, they weren’t having a baby anytime soon. He claims to have examined her and found her to be with child. However, realizing that she is gone, Knoth broadcasts over the loudspeakers to the whole area that Blake must be killed and Lynn must be captured so her baby can be dealt with. As you progress through the opening moments, you actually find Lynn and start to escape. It’s why they’re trying to kill you rather than have you join them. You, being a man, can impregnate one of their women with a demon seed so you must be dealt with. The group doesn’t take kindly to outsiders because they are worried about the coming of the anti-christ. You don’t find out why the memories are coming on so strongly now until later. It’s inferred that she hanged herself (you see her hanging in visions although they never say that’s how it happened) and the current situation may just be dredging up these old, dark memories for Blake.
Turns out that she was a fellow student back when the two were in the fourth grade, and she too died by her own hand.
While on the chopper on the way over, Blake wakes from a dream where he’s screaming out the name Jessica (which obviously isn’t his wife’s name). The entire situation stinks of all types of weird, which makes Lynn want to do a bit of investigating. While it’s not detailed, it was said that she strangled herself to death (possible hanging?) and that she had high counts of mercury in her blood. A young woman, who is known only as Jane Doe in the beginning, was found on the side of the road pregnant, covered in filth, and muttering nonsensical verses. The first thing is the reason for the Langermanns to be out here in the first place. It’s sort of spit out in rapid fire so we’ll try to keep it as simple and clear as possible for you. There are a lot of things that happen during the opening of Outlast 2 that are all very important to the overall story.
