This is the ending cutscene of the Playstation version This is the ending cutscene of the SNES version It was basically the same game, except “modernized,” so instead of the iconic 2D SNES sprites, everyone looks like 3D Five Nights at Freddy’s abominations. The port was done by Beam Software, and didn’t have anyone from Blizzard (at the time Silicone and Synapse) involved. With their personal adventures in what passed in the mid-1990s as humor done, the three returned to their villages and met once again.īecause there isn’t too much lore, I’ll take a second to talk about the two versions of Lost Vikings 2, the SNES one made fully by Blizzard and the 3D port “Norse by Norsewest” for the Playstation, Sega Saturn and PC, which I played. Erik became bored with village life, and founded a monk order named the Order of the Leaping Mountain Goat, which sought to find enlightenment, but he went so deep into a trance be believed he was an iguana, so he beat himself with a tuna can until he snapped back into reality. Olaf appeared in Lifestyles of the Large and Bearded, and raised his daughter Gerda to have a bigger appetite than he had. Olaf decided to become a sumo wrestler, but since Vikings hadn’t invented sumo wrestling he set out to find the Land of the Rising Sun, instead finding the land of the Noonish Son before turning back, stopping in Italy along the way.
Baleog retired from being senior polar bear wrangler to be a gladiator, but quit after he was banned from bringing his own weapons, so he founded a school of plunder to teach young Vikings, and became a bestselling Viking writer. Yet after they came back they found their lives to be boring. The three Vikings managed to escape through one last time portal, ending up back home to their families. Olaf insisted he could pilot the ship, but instead set it to self-destruct.
With their wits and combined skills, the three Vikings pushed Tomator into his own forcefields, finally luring him to an airlock where they shot the alien warlord out of his own ship. Finally, they made it back to Tomator’s ship. Their travels took them to a future factory, and then a weird alternate dimension made of balloons and candy. The Vikings then ended up in something approaching ancient Egypt, raiding a pyramid to get to its time portal. They rescued a cave girl inside, who psychically helped stop the volcano’s eruption, allowing the access to another time portal. Now fighting through dinosaurs, hedgehogs and tribesmen, the Viking brothers found their way to a volcano. Instead, they wound up in prehistoric times. The Vikings destroyed Tomator’s computers, and made it to a time portal, hoping to use it to escape home.
Along the way they met an alien named Aftiek, who had also been kidnapped, and told them of their situation and how to escape. The Vikings met up, with Erik deciding he’d be the leader, and began to fight through Tomator’s ship to try to find a way back. Yet his teleportation device short circuited (something we’ll find is common in his ships), and the three Vikings were instead teleported into his ship’s corridors. That night, as the three brothers were sleeping, Tomator used his tractor beam to take the three Vikings up into the air, and teleported them onto his ship. Noticing the three brothers and their ritual of strength, Tomator decided they would make great specimens for his great galactic zoo. Yet they were oblivious to the giant spaceship above them conqueror, zookeeper and Emperor of the Croutonian Empire Tomator brought his ship into Earth’s orbit. Each of them managed to find their own haunch of meat.
However, as per usual Erik, Baleog and Olaf all overslept, and decided to rush out on their own before their Viking comrades got all the glory. Each year the village held a great hunt, which was followed by a feast of all the spoils the Vikings found.
Each were married to Nordic wives with children (Olaf and Erik with two, Baleog with one), with the only one we know the name of being Olaf’s daughter Gerda. Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce and Olaf the Stout were three Vikings brothers hailing from the outskirts of a Viking village somewhere near the Baltic Sea.
