In first edition, it is said that Elminister and Volo met Ed Greenwood in an extradimensional plane. It was there he received the lore of Forgotten Realms.

Daddy

There's a wight in Acererak's Tomb of the Nine Gods (the Tomb of Annihilation) named Withers... I don't see how this could be the same character... but it might be possible?

At first glance at the title I thought this was gonna be a video about Digimon, lol.

Anime is for loosers specially modern anime.

Being horrible or useless at music and arithmetic doesn’t match well with the statement of him being incredibly intelligent though. But I guess he’s just very apt at forms of intelligence not associated with those things? Of which you can say there are many, but anyways… I still find it somewhat weird

Oh yeah, i'm totally a loser. I relate to denji and his trauma so much lmao

It's not really Jergal, that is a cover. Its another god or creature that wants the dead three, and brain out of the way for their own plans.

elminster confuses me, how tf is a simple* mage that doesnt dabble in any sort of heroic mc activism or dark magic so damn old.he IS a human right, and not some long forgotten deity nobody talks about? also on that note: how the hecc is volo still alive

Great video, one bit of advice is there is a bit of static/feedback on your mic, not sure what's causing it but its there.

How does your channel ain't viral? I like your videos before even seeing them because they are never bad, you deserve more because of the quality of the videos too

Oh ...rise ye tarnished the most fearsome character in the lands between..rise and become the boss these lands deserve

Marika was ruthless and cruel, but her hatred of the omen and the crucible is not that irrational. The hornsent were those who persecuted her people, the shamans putting them unto jars to meld with other peoples bodies slowly degenerating and rotting because they considered them unholy. So likely Marika's reasons for becoming a god were: 1. To remove death from the world so none of ger loved ones would die 2. To enact revenge upon those who slaughtered her people and family. This does not excuse her actions but it does explain why she threw the omen in the sewers and why she discriminated everything with ties to the crucible.

Hey! I am kinda fascinated by eyes! Did you know that people's eye colour slightly changes when they are angry or something? Be careful of people with black eyes. Not spiritual It is hardly believeble even if you see it, if you see but blick of it, tey are either livid or not cool person. So yellow in the eyes are symbolism of "beeing blessed" right? Gold is mostly connected to power, maybe whelt, I would imagine even hope ... It could symbolise anything, but I personally would bet it was loss🤣

I mean, there is only a massive statue of Jergal in the room before Withers his crypt, just saying

"Ah, Kos, or some say Kosm… Do you hear our prayers? As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes!" "Aaaaaaaaahhhhh majestic the hunter is a hunter even in a dream"

I don’t know. Remember that marika purposely took away Godfrey and the tarnished grace and later promised to give it back later so I wouldn’t say she used it as a form of control

miquella had one eye removed, and removed his other eye on the journey.

Thanks!

all the bad guys break some kind of capsule to go super saiyan

I mean I think it was always pretty obvious that eye color relates to what Outer God you are most aligned with. When you become a Bloody Finger, anointed with the Formless Mothers blood, your eyes turn red, when you partake in Dragon Communion your eyes turn into those of a Dragon and so on. Gold Symbolizes being aligned with Marika, not the Greater Will. Godfrey’s men are Tarnished, but not all Tarnished are Godfrey’s men. They were likely simply the first to start out “Grace given” and then “fall”. Be forsaken by Marika, or Forsake Marika by their own will. Messemer and his knights are there hunting Tarnished, and here he seems to refer to the Hornsent. “Omen” are the result of a curse, likely from the Hornsent, and have not forsaken Marika by their own will, and the truly sad thing there is that it likely means she hadn’t truly forsaken them either. The whole reason she sent Messmer on that crusade may have to wipe out the rest of the Hornsent, to weaken the Crucibles power enough that the Omen curse faded entirely. As for why Godfrey lost faith, he’s a combination of King Arthur and Setanta, or “Cu Chulainn” an Irish hero. Cu Chulainn studied in the “Shadowlands” under his master, and learned her arts. This might be directly related to he and his knights employing bestial aspects in their abilities, namely “The Storm” and “Crucible” aspects, both of which are associated with the Shadowlands. He may well have lost faith in her when she commanded he go on the same crusade Messmer did.

Only noobs call sites of grace bonfires. Veterans call them archstones.

For me, what makes Griffith so evil is that the possibility of redemption and choosing a better path was always available to him. Griffith was just too stubborn to actually change, learn and inevitably grow after his relationship with guts. Where Guts eventually becomes a better person through his companionship but not dependency on others, Griffith ignores this possibility, too blinded by his dream which in my opinion is vain and pitiful to begin with.

Isn't obvious the tarnished is the chosen undead

Radagon’s marriage to Rennala is what allowed Godfrey to defeat the Fire Giants. Rennala invoked a pact with the Trolls who then betrayed the Fire Giants. Once Godfrey was done, Radagon/Marika jointly booted Godfrey and the Tarnished. Godfrey was hounded by the leal hound.

I love this theory that was put forth by a Japanese fan that speculates that the Tarnished we play as is one of Marika’s unwanted demi-god offspring entombed in a wandering mausoleum. They back it up by pointing out in the intro you can faintly hear similar sounds to the ones the wandering mausoleums make. Even if it’s not canon to the lore, I like it enough to make it my own personal canon.

I’m beginning my third journey on a new character and I noticed that Gideon🤢that spell spamming lint licker has eyes and what look like ears with him in his casket

it states that "both were as brothers to the lion", dosn't this suggest that messmer was not a "real" brother to radhan. And since it wasn't known that marika and radagon where the same, is it not more likely that messmer parents were marika and godfrey?

I think the correlation between frenzy flame and the elden ring is obvious, frenzy flame is a golden flame that scale with faith is linked to the greater will and by extension the stars and most of all the “image of the greater will” is a voided circle which is the actual form that frenzy takes on, an invisible ember surrounded in golden flames, what does this correlation mean? No clue honestly but somehow physical life imbued with gold can quell frenzy seemingly as hornsent seem to think of holy as the gold order does fire, gold bones and barbs are a tool for cleaning the damned not a healing implement, maybe this is why grace is so important, sense the great caravan did not have grace the madness spread without recourse, which probably started the whole hate for those without grace.

You could blame the double eyes on the carians side. We don't know if ranni true body had 2 eyes or not, and technically with the spectral half she does have 2 eyes

A lack of eyes is a common symbol in FromSoft games and often represents an inability to see the full picture or attain one’s full power. It probably means the exact same thing here. While Ranni initially seems like an exception to this rule she “technically” doesnt have any of her eyes truly closed as she sees through her doll’s left eye and her actual right eye.

I reallized the giant skeletons with laser eyes always use the same eye Melina keeps closed

It's heavily implied in the dlc that the outer gods didn't come to the lands between because of the shattering or because of the conflicts caused by the golden order, but that they were always there, their influence just was never that large until certain events cause people to take notice of them. Outer gods embody certain aspects of reality and existence, the one bear communion spell sums it up well, basically saying something along the lines of "in order too find a god all you need too do is look for one" basically saying their influence is everywhere. The act of how you can find an outer god is even described in some item descriptions, such as the outer god heirloom, which describes how the blood fiends came to worship the formless mother by gazing upon their dead and wounded kin. Romina came to worship the rot when she looked at the dying bud after the church of the bud was burned by Messmer's forces. No one followed these outer gods yet because their faith and devotion was directed elsewhere, but once those were removed they took a look around and latched onto the first thing they noticed had "divine essence".

It took you ten minutes to say “design decisions or hold different significance for each character” which is basically saying “they either thought about it or didn’t”

Gonna just point towards the item deacriptiona around the Lanentors. And Corhyn, the fire monks, hyetta/irina, lots of characters who ritualistically blind themselves seeking a hugher divinity or find divinity in blindness accidentally.

I think messmers point in is second phase transformation is to show us that marikas children are all carrying power from the frenzied flame.. as a result of the type of power she may have used in the shattering or as a result of her un natural ascension to godhood or if you would say it another way, the absolute chaos that led to a mortal becoming a god

Madness doesn't instakills only steals mana and health.

I think Messmer and Melina are children of Midra and Marika. Hence they both have Kindling and an affinity for fire.

13:38 madness doesn’t outright kill you, it simply does a bit of damage and locks you in an animation. deathbight is what kills you

6:05 if Godfrey was so disillusioned that all devotion left him why do he and the other tarnished like Gideon eventually stand against you in defense of Marika and her plan for the tarnished to struggle eternally?

Madness doesn't kill you when it procs. You just take damage and get stunned for 3 secons. You literally have a clip right after it when madness get proced and you didnt die. Death blight though kills you when it procs.

i think it’s a bit of an obvious interpretation but i think the eyes are the windows to the soul (and by extension whatever outer god that might be hitching a ride therein), and the cause and effect on each of the demigods eyes tells a bit of their story: with ranni being half in the doll and half out in the spirit realm, messmer’s coiling serpents gnawing at his kindling, malenia’s scarlet rot affliction stealing everything from her to remake her, st. trina/miquella’s dreaming idealization, and mohg’s omen curse showing him the sacrifice of blood, and even morgotts horns appear to more closely mimic the hornsent and their divine-invoking helmets, as opposed to his brothers more bayle-like horns, aligning with his reverence for the golden order in spite of his treatment under it. the fact that the frenzy flame melts all that divides and inviting it into oneself inevitably burns away one’s eyes is only a fitting end. i have no clue what melina’s eyes are meant to represent but i believe that her opening the gloomy eye in the frenzy flame ending is at the very least symbolic of her determination to kills us as the lord of frenzied flame as she discovers a purpose that requires her to become an active agent once more, rather than the somewhat passive kindling maiden she is for us in most endings

What exactly is Radagon? When dis he step into the picture of the lore... It seems Radagon was not, in the realm of shadow events... He came to be in the lands between...

The flame of frenzy is related to an ancient God, not outer god.

radagon was marikas lord as to become a god ne needs a lord. Same as how miquella needed radhan to become a god. Also the affair mentioned in trailer might be birth of mesmer and possibly melina. when marika came to lands between she probably hid radagon's relation to her for some reason.

Withers IS Jergal

13:45 correct me if im wrong but im like 99% sure the madness goes up whenever the saurons eye sees you. it doesnt matter if you look back at it or nah.

If Miqella is repeating Marika's journey to godhood; then she would have forsaken her truest love ("my'n other self") Radagon.

You ask what was Marika's goal and from what I gathered: create a new order/empire free of the atrocities comitted by the hornsent of Belurat. From what I could understand, the hornsent where rounding up the shamans (Numens) from Marika's village to hack them up and put them in living jars as part of some twisted rituals in order to create "saints". Marika most likely ascended to godhood to get revenge on them. Also explains the absolute hatred the golden order has for anything crucible-related. Marika's goal was kind of the same as Miquella at the beginning: create a world without the despair and suffering caused by the dominating faction. Then she caused untold despair and suffering during her conquest for the lands between as they always do. Hell is paved with good intentions The Hornsent talking NPC tells you that he wants to destroy the golden order for what they did to his people, since he seems to come from the Bonny Village, the one burnt with the butcher's knives wielding NPCs, and he was most likely one of the guys who actually performed the ritual killing of Numen. The one thing I don't get is how did Marika manage to reach Enir Ilim and the gates of divinity. I think her alliance with Godfrey predates her becoming a god. Godfrey has a lion as his beast regent, Serosh, which seems to indicate some kind of relation to the divine lions the hornsent worship, he has 2 hornsent/omen children, and his elite guard is composed of crucible knights. Looks like he has some very close relation to the hornsent, he maybe even originates from the surroundings of Belurat. It's just a guess, but to me it looks like Marika initiated some kind of rebellion among the hornsent to get to the gates of divinity (hence why Hornsent speaks about a "betrayal" to describe Marika's actions, maybe she even was sort of respected among the hornsent, in which case it would have been even easier for her). Maybe she even created the gates herself, with the guidance of metyr or the elden beast, seeing as the gates are made of hundreds of hornsent bodies. At some point she sired Messmer (and Melina, probably), most likely with Radagon, and used his power to cleanse the weakened Hornsent once and for all, then sealed the land of shadows with him keeping watch over her mortal enemies. I kinda got ahead of myself there, and the last part is based on nothing but implications, but it's fun to try to piece out this stuff.

it's doesnt matter messmer born before or later, thing is we are certain he's radagon child, since he also have the red hair, the curse of the fire gaint on radagon past down his childern
