Since the highly anticipated release of Arcane Season 2 Part 2, fans have been embroiled in a heated debate: did Warwick’s transformation into a frenzied beast stem from Viktor’s death or the effects of Singed’s serum? Key hidden clues throughout the series may shed light on this pivotal moment.
The latest episode concludes on a profoundly emotional note. Just as it seemed that down-trodden characters Vi, Jinx, and Vander could reunite as a family—along with “Baby Jinx” Isha—chaos ensues. The dramatic climax sees Jayce fatally wound Viktor, leading to tragic consequences for all Zaunites healed by Hextech. The illusion of a better future shatters when Ambessa leads the Piltover army into their midst, igniting a brutal conflict.
However, the most heart-wrenching scene is Warwick’s regression to a savage form, robbing Jinx and Vi of their father figure and hope for a reconnection.
Unraveling the Mystery of Warwick’s Transformation
As Warwick, initially incorporating the essence of Vander, had been reliant on Viktor’s healing advances, it is reasonable to suspect that his return to feral instincts resulted from Viktor’s demise. But an astonishingly subtle moment features Singed lurking within the enclosure where Warwick emerged, indicating further complexity.
Guys, it isn’t Viktor dying that made Vander go crazy. He was fine when everyone else fell and screamed. His ‘healing’ wasn’t complete, he wasn’t part of the hivemind. It began right after everyone ran out and left him with ‘unconscious’ Singed. And later we see THIS.#Arcane pic.twitter.com/L21VYoY2As

In the lead-up to the conflict in Arcane Season 2, Episode 6, Ambessa had sought to utilize Singed’s talents as an advisor to locate Warwick. Ultimately, Viktor commanded Singed to step aside when they finally closed in on their target.
Despite Ambessa’s desire to forcibly capture him, Singed devised an alternative plan. Using his experimental alchemy, he concocted a serum intended to undo Viktor’s considerable efforts to heal Warwick. Observing Singed’s presence in the scene insinuates that Warwick’s violent outburst was indeed caused by this serum.
If Warwick’s transformation had been a reaction to Viktor’s loss, one might expect him to succumb like the other fallen members of the commune. Instead, he bursts forth from his enclosure, enveloped in rage, with fiery essence pouring from his body.
This transformation appears to signify that Singed’s serum eradicated any remnants of Vander, unleashing a rabid creature poised for Ambessa’s warfare ambitions.
As fans dissect the episode’s layers, one user pointed to the significance of Singed in a screenshot, asserting, “Guys, it isn’t Viktor dying that made Vander go crazy. He was stable while others screamed and fell. His ‘healing’ wasn’t finalized, and he lacked a connection to the hivemind, triggering the change after being left with unconscious Singed.”
Others echoed this sentiment, stating, “Jayce is accountable for Viktor’s and the commune’s fatalities, while Singed bears the responsibility for Vander and Isha.” Moreover, one fan highlighted, “Singed claimed that the serum would diminish Warwick’s humanity, negating Viktor’s healing efforts,” elaborating that “an orange and green liquid designed to interface with Vander’s augmentations facilitated the process. Singed managed to finish concocting it amidst the chaos.”
As concerns regarding Ambessa’s control over Warwick loom, the climactic scene in Arcane Season 2 Part 2 suggests that little Isha’s assault on the beast may alter the course of events dramatically. She successfully aims Jinx’s Hextech gun at Warwick, but the episode concludes before revealing the outcome. Judging by the explosion’s magnitude, audiences are left wondering whether he could survive.
Mark your calendars: Arcane Season 2 Part 3 will premiere on November 23 on Netflix, promising more thrilling developments.
