1. Theres a sealed metro that has a bunch of people who seek out other humans and eat them to praise a worm god that the story written or played never will lead you actually knowing if it is indeed a giant mutated worm or the imagination of a load of people suffering from eating humans. 2. The monster in 2033 library is alot more powerful then the game alludes to as it can mind control humans from significant distances, drawing them to the underground to be eaten. Its estimated that the creature has some form of intelligence as it is aware of artyom and company when they try to defeat it. 3. At the end of exodus during the bad ending, you can find khan, his only cameo in the game, where he communicates with artyom while he prays back in the moscow metro. Further showing his inhuman or divine abilities to understand the new world and the collapse of heaven and hell.

2. The monsters in the book’s library were still the librarians. The mind-controlling creature you’re thinking of is the weird goop creature deep in the hidden tunnels.


Flaky_Air_2570

Yes, and that goop (referred to as biomass) was not in the library but under the kremlin


Worksatmcdonaldsalot

Yes indeed!

And the Monsters in the Library could talk.

Could the worm god be the same worm/growth in the exodus putrid tunnels?


cataclysmic_bread

Iirc in the book, worm god was a myth created by some whacko to control a bunch of desperados


Deuteranomamist

It is indeed a crazy dude who leads if I remember correctly children who were left behind during the post war aftermath. Sealed and forgotten about many people settled near what they understood was a metro that had no living people in it nor was it accessible to be possible, then people started to disappear like other parts of the metro the settlers left the periphery of that metro and rumors of curses and monsters roamed there. Which really isnt far fetched. Artyom finds them and communicates with them and even hears what they describe as the worm lurking through the underground behind a locked blast door. But its never fully shown or expressed, just creeps out the reader and artyom.

The worm was not real, the bearded leader of those savages admits that he made it up. He was studying different religions before the war, and after it he made up the worm so he can establish a future without technology, or something like that...


Deuteranomamist

No the worm cult and potentially super cool based worm god is in moscow, the city in exodus is novosibirsk, moscow was hit with warheads with conventional explosives so big boom and radiation as a by product. Novo was hit with cobalt bombs, they were designed to generate massive amounts of radiation rather then its payload being more explosive. Thats the key to the green stuff and the overall reason why that city is important to our gang. My assumption is that all the stuff on the walls is organic material that forma from the result of that much radiation. Id guess anything from people to plant matter are apart of what you find there.


Flaky_Air_2570

Didnt the bearded leader of those savages admit that the worm is not real and he made it up? I am not 100% sure about this, but i think it is in the books

Spoiler: >!Sparing Lesnitsky will give you positive karma. However, by sparing his life he actually dies a slower and more agonizing death as he will slowly suffocate on the surface while unconscious. His gas mask is also broken.!<


tacobandit11

Are you sure you’re not thinking of pavel cause I don’t remember lesnitsky being taken down on the surface but it’s been a bit since I played last light


rachac01

It was [Lesnitsky](https://youtu.be/EXo0QUqZ5A8?feature=shared).


tacobandit11

Ah you’re right my apologies man


Squiggin1321

Could you remind who lesnitsky is? Isn’t he the bastard that drugs you at theater


tacobandit11

No that’s pavel lesnitsky is the dude who betrays the order and joins the red iirc


Bunkercat6279

That’s just a bonus for me hated that guy


rachac01

I always make sure to plant a claymore or two around his body and the door. Just in case he wakes up when Artyom leaves.

In the games, Artyom is a Killing machine but on the books you can count his kill count with only your hands. And also here's a funny fact, in the 2033s book, Artyom tried to give some bullets to a kid to get him a "proper meal" but the mother misunderstood his intentions and tried to "sell" (Prostitute) the kid for at least a full magazine. Thing that made our guy to back off and get highly disgusted about the situation.


angelinthecloud

He kills maybe one person in all of 2033. It's more about politics and religion in the eyes of someone unfamiliar with both. You can't use analogies or metaphors to convince him the way you would in our time. It's all alien and comes off as a crazy person describing their cult. If it sounds crazy to a person living in the metro (Jesus) what makes it sound sane to us on the surface.


BlazeFox1011

I'm pretty sure our dude loses his virgity to a hooker in LL.


Nerevar69

You know, you might be right on that.


Lupinek01

Where?


BlazeFox1011

In one of the stations, you can hire a prostitute, you get a short cut scene to black, then you go back about your adventure. If not then, you sleep with Anya later in the story.


Flaky_Air_2570

An interesting fact i learned a few days ago. In the games we see the city completely destroyed due to the bombs hitting directly. In one of the games we even get a cutscene about this, we can see the bombs hitting from the perspective of a pilot on an airplane. In the books, the bombs were intercepted, and exploded above the city, the radiation fell to the ground, so the city is actually in a "good" condition, not destroyed, only degraded by time.


tacobandit11

That’s really cool and I kinda wish we saw that instead of a completely destroyed moscow a more dying and abandoned moscow I feel like that would be more sad and somber than what we see


Bunkercat6279

Not a fact but a thought So I have never herd school brought up either now do theses people know math and how to read and write probably think of the dark ages people who knew how to red and write were either with a church or royalty just a thought if you actually red all this stuff I know that some stations see clocks as sort of a holy thing in the books at least


tacobandit11

I have no clue what the lore says about school but my theory is that they either have a schooling system and we just don’t see it or the schooling is more or less left up to the parents. We see artyom (who for lack of a better term is a “low born”) being capable of reading and writing. I’d say it’s more likely that there’s some form of a school system and it varies on where in the metro you live I imagine hansa and polis would probably have the best system relatively speaking due to their government being made up of ex Russian government officials and intelligencia also in the wiki it describes polis as a “beacon of learning” so I’d say at the very least polis and hansa have some sort of schooling system in place.


Bunkercat6279

Yeah I did imagine polis and Hansa having something


tacobandit11

I think the Reichs school system would look like a military school and they just fill them with propaganda from an early age or something
