Now I don’t know if this is a novel idea or if other people have come to this same conclusion, this theory is just something I put together back in 2024 and I wanted to get it out before Dungeons 2 releases and we get to finally see what’s behind the portal. I can’t wait!!

Timeline showing that Minecraft Legends occurs first, followed by Minecraft, then possibly Minecraft Dungeons 2, and then Minecraft Dungeons 1

So I guess I’m proposing that Dungeons 2 is actually a prequel to Dungeons 1, since it seems the plot of Dungeons 2 will involve opening the Ancient City portal which should happen between Minecraft & Dungeons 1 according to my proposed timeline.

Another piece of corroborating evidence can actually be seen in the leaked “Spicewood” image showing the opened Ancient City portal. The portal is mostly colored pink and orange, the same two colors that the Orb of Dominance is shown to shift between.

The Ancient City residents could have procured the Orb of Dominance from the Nether, but later decided to seal it away through their underground portal. Maybe the Heart of Ender tried to fight back by summoning Endersents, and the Ancient Citizens used the Sculk as part of their defenses.

Then perhaps the Orb of Dominance is located behind the Ancient City portal!

But if an Endersent was once in an Ancient City, deep underground in the Overworld, and if the ambient sounds heard throughout the Overworld’s caves actually come from the Heart of Ender, and if the original residents of the Ancient Cities had portal technology and resources from the Nether…

Timeline showing that the Orb of Dominance was in the Nether during Minecraft Legends and in the Overworld during Minecraft Dungeons, but its location is unknown in Minecraft

So sometime between Legends and Dungeons, the Orb of Dominance is taken from the Nether to the Overworld, but in Minecraft, its whereabouts are unknown.

A timeline showing that Minecraft Legends occurs first, followed by Minecraft and then Minecraft Dungeons

In Minecraft Legends, before Minecraft, the Orb of Dominance, containing the Heart of Ender, was held by the Piglins in the Nether. Later in Dungeons, the Orb is recovered by the Arch Illager in an abandoned castle as though it was left there by whatever empire had last used it in the Overworld.

Could this mean that the Heart of Ender is located in a remote cave somewhere in the Overworld of Minecraft? Well… maybe.

Well, there’s another odd fact I don’t see discussed often that I think could lead to an answer.
The Heart of Ender makes cave sounds.
Those spooky noises you hear in Overworld caves and the End… In Dungeons, it is implied that these sounds originate from the Heart of Ender.

An interesting detail many people have wondered about is the inclusion of an Endersent’s sounds in Disc 5 from Ancient Cities. Why would sentinels of the Heart of Ender from Minecraft Dungeons be in the Deep Dark?

With the announcement of Minecraft Dungeons 2, I felt like it was finally time that I, as a fan of Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft lore, share the theory I’ve had for a little while about what’s behind the Ancient City portal!!

I wonder if Eram comes from Asriel similar to how the Roaring Knight comes from Dess? They’re both sinister shadowy individuals from the Hometown’s shelter who resemble a certain townsperson… Except, Asriel’s away at college. So maybe Eram is a dark reflection of Asriel like how Ralsei is?

Both Eram and Asriel have curved horns, fangs, and fire magic

I find Eram very mysterious. I realized that since they have horns and fangs, and use fire magic, they could be related to boss monsters, specifically Asriel. So I illustrated this concept of a possible “real form” of Eram

Ok so after a closer listen, the part of Raise Up Your Bat that I first thought was referencing Papyrus’s Cool Song is probably actually meant to be the unused Sneaking theme, which ended up getting used in Volume Adjustment & Catswing

This backwards text on the Amazing Digital Circus awards page is a reference to Spy Kids !!

Am I going crazy or is Tenna’s theme in Big Shot??
I might be going crazy…

Thank you, Toby Fox. Undertale touched my very soul, and my heart beats with inspiration because of it. I live to send some of my own imagination back into the world, as thanks.

This was my submission to Undertale’s 10th anniversary memories.
Thank you, Toby Fox.
