"You woke me for rumors? For silly conspiracy theories? Damn it, there is no Abe guy! There is no uprising! Molluck burned down his own damn farm! We know this because never in history has a Mudokon beaten a Glukkon ever!"
-Aslik on Mudokon uprising rumors.
The Mudokon resistance, also known as the Spirit of 1029, is a revolutionary group of freedom fighters formed after the destruction of RuptureFarms. They aim to free their fellow Mudokons from the Industrialists, help anyone else suffering under their oppression, and eventually defeat the Industrialists entirely.
Description[]
The Spirit of 1029 (named after the factory code of RuptureFarms) is a group of Mudokons, enslaved and escaped, who seek to violently overthrow the system of factories built across Mudos.[1] Collaborating with the natives, these Mudokons try to relearn their traditions and undo the effects of Magog propaganda. The group is mainly focused around the achievements of Abe, and those involved with the rebellion will immediately follow Abe whenever he shows up.
Oddworld: Soulstorm[]
The Spirit of 1029 makes several direct appearances in the Oddworld: Soulstorm ARG, interacting with users and reacting to messages from Ed or Magog-related propaganda.
While the Spirit of 1029 makes few direct appearances in Oddworld: Soulstorm, evidence of a Mudokon resistance exists within the reactions of worker Mudokons to Abe and the appearance of weaponized consumer products (i.e. Brewnades, Fizzy Pow, IED Stun Mines) inside worker lockers. The Unamed Messenger who delivers the Amulet from the Keeper, and the Mudokon who smuggled the Projekt Soulstorm Blahtta Tape, are thought to be members of the Spirit of 1029 as well. The most direct appearance is in the level "The Yards", which takes place in the aftermath of a Mudokon riot at the FeeCo Yards. Graffiti of the Spirit of 1029's sigil is sprayed over the walls, Mudokons are either in hiding or directly guarded by Sligs, and a large collection of antidote ingredients has been collected for Abe to load onto the rebellion's train.
Notes[]
- The Mudokon resistance is officially first mentioned during the Soulstorm ARG, where they spread their message through a promotional website for Oddworld: Soulstorm.
- Chronologically a resistance of sorts is first seen in Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, though it's never actually mentioned as such.
