Korroloka Tunnel Lore Question

[Drivont]

Not sure if this has ever been explained. I've done tons of quests for Bastok, and other areas, like Rabao, and the Tenshodo.... Does anyone know why Gigas inhabit the tunnels down here? It kinda baffles me.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Don't ask me how, but I bet it has something to do with them being sailors.

[Drivont]

Getting lost, finding Zepwell, and then just breeding in the tunnels... seems legit :P

This cave is located deep beneath the sea floor and was used by the Galka to flee to the Quon Continent. The Galka were driven from their homeland by beastmen known as the Antica. The interior of the cave is quite beautiful and is formed from a terrestrial coral. To the Galka, however, it is known as a place of tragedy and death, where the coral thrived on the blood of fallen comrades.

EDIT: Sorry, that doesn't answer your main about the gigas being there.

all well and good but doesn't really explain the Gigas.

It really does seem kind of random because they aren't seen in the desert nor are they seen anywhere in the Gustaberg region.

Yeah, I'm really hoping a rep can shed some light on this...

If I had to take a guess, I'd say the gigas there are remnants of the forces that attacked Bastok during the crystal war. The ones that survived the attack settled there from then onward.

It's really anyone's guess at this point unless there is some official explanation we have not heard of.

[Sotek]

I'd guess it has something to do with the Crystal War, maybe the Shadow Lord sent Gigas over to get the Antican to join?

Another strength lies in the sheer number of Antica soldiers. In addition to their active legions, an enormous surplus of soldiers lies in stasis within the Antica's stronghold. When revived, the size of their army can increase a hundredfold. However, due to their lack of naval technology, only a few of their troops were able to participate in the Great War campaigns carried out on Quon; their presence had little effect on the outcome of the battles. It is widely believed that had the full Antican army participated in the battles on Quon, the allied forces surely would have been defeated.

That actually fits, Gigas were sent to clear Korroloka so the Anticans could push through and actually participate in the war, though obviously that plan failed.

Except the Bastok [S] quest line establishes the Antica as neutrals. The "lack of naval power" line may just be a common assumption, of the "all Beastmen are alike" sort.

for some reason I get the feeling the WoTG storyline is an alternate timeline, somehow I don't think I'm the only one in that
