#ecco ii sentinels of the universe

[sentinelsofuniverse]

Hi y’all :)

Long ago I created a Pinterest board with some pictures I found that remind me of Sentinels of the Universe (and Ecco in general), so please check it out if you’d like! :)

Ecco SotU: 'Holy Forest' inspo.

Hey there! I got some questions about the Trilla, as I'm obsessed with the pink dolphins toooo! Was the giant pink one stuck in the ground ever found to be able to be freed? Or is it still forever stuck in the ground but if you go through a special ring the right way you can get lightning around her and not just the spotlight? And you posted some pictures of Ecco NEAR a giant pink one. How did that happen? Was it the one stuck in the ground? Where did that picture come from? Also, what do you think their purpose is in the lore? Thanks!

Hello!

Not sure if this ask is old as hell, Tumbrl just notify me now lol

There's 6 "pink dolphins" in total on Hanging Spheres level; 4 small ones (regular size, like Ecco) and 2 big ones. One is stuck, the other one is swimming in a big pond-like thing. But to me it seems like the bigger one is the one swimming. It's even bigger than Mutaclone or any other dolphin previously seen on Ecco DotF! I'd say is even bigger than some whales, since if you go near it Ecco is almost the size of it's eye lol

The one who's stuck cannot be freed but it has a full body render, and the fact that if you go through both rings some action happens (lighting and swirls start to appear around the dolphin) it seems that the main goal of the level was to free that dolphin.

The one who's swimming is being attacked by some alien-leeches, but it seems that the animation has issues and I could only see that once or twice, the rest of the time they won't even appear.

There was supposed to be an 'Old Trilla' (as named on the game files) in Hanging Caverns level, but don't know if it was supposed to be giant or small (as it only appears on the game's files and not on the level itself), so don't know if their size is due to age or ranking (like the Clan dolphins for example)

Hope my answer helped a bit :)

Hi everyone

I'm still obsessed with the pink phins (or 'Trilla') 🤣

Hope everyone is having a good week!

Dolphin pics for y'all! (I have a lot more...) :)

[sentinelsofuniverse]

Everyone please go watch this video of Sentinels of the Universe with LOTS of new levels and original music!!!

It's so crazy what this game could've been...

Feels like they seek a "magical" feeling with this one

[sentinelsofuniverse]

Hi my fellow Sentinel fans!

I've been trying to translate the concept arts shown on the newest video of Sentinels of the Universe.

I don't know the Hungarian language, but I tried with online translators.

Hope this can make things a little more clearer for all of you to get a mental image of what SotU could have been....

Such a shame we will never see this game completed

[sentinelsofuniverse]

Seems like Ecco was going to be an ichthyosaurus in the Cavefin level :)

[sentinelsofuniverse]

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I don't post anything.. But I found some unused dialogue from Sentinels of the Universe! 💙

They are in the game files (in Hungarian) on the prototype dated February 19, 2001. But they seem to have found more on some corrupted files date February 23, 2001 in english and an additional level!

The english dialogues are these;

Ancient City

You mock or get out, decide it!

Puffy is starving!

Rock n Roll!

The party goes on in the hell with the devil!

If you let me out, I'll comply with my three wishes!

Small wolphin, small wolphin let me out!

If you don't let me out, I'll smash your head up!

-Who wants to be released?? I could only thought of the white shark.. but that's stupid, no?

Galleon & port

Wow, a dolphin! You should have come earlier!

But I'm in good mood now, so I forgive your delay.

I know birds can't talk!

Do I look like one?

Well, for the moment, I do!

You should know, that I'm a great dolphine mage!

For a moment I hadn't taken care, and the soulrobber living in the upper lake stole my magic force, squeezing me into this feathered body.

Enough of talking! I announce a campaign!

Bring me a boat, that will take for a capital ship.

I must get to the sunken ship.

May the octopus have you killed!

Haven't I told you to bring me a boat?

I bet you're not a dolphin!

A dolphine would have understood me by now: BRING ME A BOAT!

What had I done wrong that you sent me such a stupid finner?

Boat at last! I try to get on...

Head on to the sunken ship! You are my army, so push me rapidly, like you were chased by a shark!

Quicker, Quicker! I regain my magic!

What are doing?

Move on!

Why did we stop again?

Move on to the shipwreck!

-I posted this already (poorly translated..) a while ago. These are all lines from the parrot

Ice Edge (*NEW LEVEL*)

WELCOME TO THIS FREEZING WORLD!

YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE PREPARED.

DON'T FORGET TO KEEP YOUR BODY WARM.

WE CAN HELP YOU WITH SOME IF YOU SWIM BY US.

STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN HERE

I HEARD THAT SOME CREATURES SETTLED IN THE FORBIDDEN BAY.

SOME OF OUR FRIENDS BEHAVE AWKWARD SINCE THEN.

THE GOD OF THE OCEAN WAS UPSET LAST DAY.

WE HAD NO REST BECAUSE OF THE STRONG CURRENTS.

IT WAS DANGEROUS TO BREATH EVEN BECAUSE OF THE MOVING ICE BLOCKS.

SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH THE NARWHALS, WE HEARD CRYING THEM ALL NIGHT.

YOU LOOK FOR THE ALIENS?

BE CAREFUL WE HEARD SCARY THINGS. THOSE BEAR THREAT US.

THAT PATH WAS THE ACCESS TO THE GLACIER LAKE.

THE NARWHALS HAVE MAGICAL POWER.

THEY MAY HELP YOU BUT THEY ARE BUSY WITH THEIR POD.

THE ONLY WAY OUT FROM HERE IS THRU THE BEARS.

I KNOW, TRY TO USE YOUR SPECIAL ABILITIES!

YOU LOOK TO BE ABLE TO SWIM FASTER AGAINST THE CURRENT THAN WE ARE.

IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO NOT BEING SEEN BY THEM YOU CAN ESCAPE!

I CANNOT HELP YOU

I NEED TO HELP TO ESCAPE FROM THE ICE TO MY POD.

THEY ARE THERE SINCE IN COLD SINCE THE YESTERDAY.

THE GAPS ARE TOO FAR,

THEY CAN'T SWIM THRU WITH ONE AIR.

THE WATER IS WARM HERE.

THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE.

THEY WON'T SURVIVE IN THAT COLD FOR LONG.

THANK YOU, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR HELP.

LET ME CREATE THIS FROM YOUR MEMORY, AS A GIFT.

YOU WILL FIND OTHERS ON YOUR WAY,

TOO THANK YOU YOUNG DOLPHIN, YOU MUST KNOW THAT I ATTACKED YOU BECAUSE OF THAT THING.

THERE IS ANOTHER LAKE CONTAINING MORE OF THESE STRANGE CREATURES.

I HATE THEM BUT JOIN TO HELP YOU. THE ONLY WAY IS TO SLIDE DOWN.

YOUR SKIN IS TOO SOFT, YOU WON'T SURVIVE IT.

THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY.

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?

I SAW THAT YOU ARE SPECIAL WITH THOSE STARS ON YOUR HEAD.

THIS PLACE IS SCARY, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

-Now, there's a lot of info here. We don't know who is talking to Ecco, but could be whales since they say to swim near them to keep the body warm (like in Ice World/Home of Narwhals). Also mentions another place; FORBIDDEN BAY, and that some "strange creatures" are now there. Could be aliens? Maybe, since they clearly mention aliens later (so Ecco is still against the Foe?). They also mentions Narwhals for the first time. They seem to be "crying" and also have magical powers! Last lines seem (to me) to be a Narwhal talking, since It also mentions "creating something from Ecco's memory as a gift" (with magical powers? Maybe one of the powers from Defender of the Future??)

Home of Narwhals

HELP ME... I GOT STUCK BETWEEN THESE ICE BLOCKS.

THE WATER IS TOO SHALLOW AND COLD...

I AM VERY TIRED...

I CANNOT FREE MYSELF.

YOU ARE STRONG...

TRY TO MOVE THE BLOCKS TO MAKE A PATH...

THANK YOU ECCO, I SAW THAT YOU WILL MAKE IT.

NOW IT IS MY TURN, I HELP TO BREAK THROUGH THE ICE WALLS.

STAY CLOSE, I WILL KEEP YOU WARM BUT BEWARE OF MY TALE.

NOW WE HAVE TO SEPARATE, I CANNOT TRAVEL WITH YOU FURTHER.

I HEARD ONLY STRANGE WHISTLES FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN.

NO, THERE IS NO WATER PATH ONLY SNOW AND ICE.

ONCE A YOUNG ORCA MANAGED TO JUMP OVER BUT HE NEVER RETURNED.

IT HAPPENED WHEN THE GLACIER FELT.

I WILL BE GLAD WHENEVER YOU RETURN TO ME.

THIS WALL IS TOO STRONG FOR ME, I NEED YOUR HELP.

-This are dialogues from the whale that we see trapped behind the Ice blocks. He mentions a young orca that jumped over a path or mountain and never returned.

*No dialogue from Hanging Spheres has been found*

Hanging Caverns

IT'S GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE AFTER SO MANY YEARS.

MY STORY IS LONG AND BORING...

YES, THE BATS AND THE GEYSIR HAD TO BE TOUGH BUT FUN.

NOW FOLLOW ME, I SHOW YOU THE EXIT

-I wonder who could be saying this, since we see no dolphin or other creatures aside bats on this level, but could've been added later.

Atlantis

I am the lord of the bats.

I am looking for a whistle.

If you take it to me

I will reward you I am the lord of the bats.

Thank you for the whistle.

Here is the key promised.

Use it skilfully.

I am the lord of the bats.

Have you used the key deftly?

I am the hungry and lame gull.

I can't catch fish.

Thank you for the fish.

Here is the key promised.

Use it skilfully.

I am the gull fed.

Have you used the key deftly?

I am the butterfly king.

I give you this key, use it skillfully.

-There's more from this level, but just the tutorial and swimming race.

...And that's all! Still can't confirm if Ecco can travel to other worlds through the portals in Atlantis or he's still on Earth.. but seems he's still after the aliens afterall!

It's crap but whatv

[sentinelsofuniverse]

I felt like he was doing more of a fuss than in the last video I posted..

(Wish anything else happen though. . .)

[sentinelsofuniverse]

Something in my mind keeps telling me that the song that plays in this video from 1:29 to 3:20 is the original song for 'Hanging Spheres', because there's a different song playing for the rest of the video in the same level.

Maybe when he edited the songs into the video (even if they're the oficial songs, wich is confirmed, probably the songs weren't implemented in the game yet and he added them on the video?) he saw "Hanging.." and put it it but it was Hanging Spheres instead.

Don't know if y'all get my point XD

[sentinelsofuniverse]

Some people call this dolphin “Gladiator”. Hope those marks on his body are not scars..

[sentinelsofuniverse]

You can find these rocks in Atlantis, on the place where the Bat, Gull and Butterflies are.

These are NOT for putting the keys, these are signals to indicate where the requests are.
