The lore of (what's probably) Eureka Orthos

[Cleretic]

Hadn’t done it yet, but good to know. Sounds like devs have been reading Greek mythology and are drawing on more fringe names, probably nothing more than that (like you said, using puns etc)

@Lyth: could be. I am curious what this Eureka actually is. Yeah it makes weapons, but are we talking a humanoid smith? A creature that belches out weapons? Mario RPG crossover giant sword monster?

I mean, we've seen the forge Eureka. It's a primal, and it looks like basically a really fancy cube. You only see it at the end of Hydatos, so fair enough that a lot of people haven't. There's no confirmed evidence that the primal Eureka and the Allagan Eureka were connected--the primal Eureka likely was given that name by the Sharlayans based on the same myth that led to the island getting the name, although we don't know that for sure--but the primal Eureka does go back to at least Allag, as that's where the first known Eurekan weapon-primal, Odin, was first recorded. So it's entirely plausible that they're connected, but it's not confirmed.

While we know very little of the primal Eureka's history beyond that, it can be surmised that sometime after Allag Mhach came across either it or its creations. On top of Proto-Ozma, the first bosses had abilities that looked awfully similar to some of Scathach's and Diabolos'.

Ah, sorry, I was meaning Eureka..prime.. I guess? Whatever the Eureka in the new DD is and not the cube.

If it created the Eureka Cube on the island, or if it is another one of many, or if it even an entity at all and not just the name of the location.

Personally (and I have nothing to back this), I am kinda leaning towards a Horizon Zero Dawn cauldron kinda place; a factory-esque place that mass produces war machines (and not primals). I’m kinda leaning that the primal was created out of mistaken memory (like Garuda). All hunches tho, kind of thinking it’ll be like the Fractal Continuum.
