There are actually a few gaol dungeons peppered around that also have a lot of naked living jars about, and give you more lore concerning them. There is even one of these dungeons in the starting area of the gravesite planes, not far from the ghostflame dragon sitting in the middle of the lake. These gaols are where the living jars are created and stored, made from prisoner shamans forcibly combined into an amalgimation inside a jar then left in the cold to "ferment". The lore from bonny village (the tooth whip found in the hut across the bridge and the ghost next to it) show that the hornsent had been chopping up the shaman people and stuffing them into jars (while still alive!) as a means to turn them into "saints", and the naked jars we see walking around being the amalgimated flesh of these shamans. They do this to shamans because apparently shaman flesh has a very easy time coagulating and combining with other flesh. We know it was the hornsent doing this because the greater potentates of bonny village (the butchers that create the living jars) each wear hornsent masks. The area bricky first saw the naked living jars inside the shadow keep, is actually more like an infirmary set up to try and treat or 'fix' the living jars as much as possible (for lore reasons you may find later). There is also reason to believe that the living jars in the lands between are different from the living jars in the land of shadow. The living jars in the lands between bear a seal of the erdtree on their lid, and are implied to be made out of already dead corpses of warriors and soldiers (with warrior jars gaining strength from the more warrior flesh incorportated into their core, i.e Alexander). These jars are then either given a purpose in guarding someplace, or more commonly used to collect more corpses into themselves then become fertilizer for the erdtree and minor erdtree's. This is seen in how most minor erdtree's have a lot of once living jars half buried around them, and in the culture of the golden order being returned to the erdtree is seen as proper burial procedure (also seen in how the catacombs often have roots breaching into them and absorbing corpses). Meanwhile the land of shadow has it's own seal for living jars, and obviously their makers treated them with much less favor and grace (very few living jars are on the surface besides in the black keep). We know it was the hornsent that made them, and that they are created from still living flesh and kept in horrible conditions show that is was likely part of the hornsent oppressing and torturing the shaman people, particularly in that the hornsent saw the shaman as inferior sinners and the only way to redeem them is to turn them into living jars.
@@meat2023 Perfect analysis and yeah I’d say I agree on their being a big difference in the Lands Between living jars and those found in the Realm of Shadow. Even if they’re technically the same “creature/saints?”, the lands between version maintain some level of dignity and decorum, something the hornsent clearly aren’t interested in.
It is unconfirmed but it's highly implied that the pots in the base game are a different kind, made for a different purpose, by a slightly different process. So yeah, Alexander's probably just a living meatball minus the person attached inside of an artificially created shell
20:18 I had the exact same thought about that exact same grace. Opening the shortcut back to the first grace means that second grace really doesn't need to be there, it just saves you from an elevator ride.
The terrifying thing about the jars is knowing what's inside the normal ones so now you can think what's inside the snall jars? What's inside the great jar in caelid/dragonbarrow?
Fromsoftware is putting the rest of the game to shame with this dlc, Mesmer is a great fight and so are the other remberance (and that one heart) bosses
@@IamXhedo to quote Freya herself right after you give her the letter from ansbach in the storeroom: "...as the festival of war concluded, general Radahn's soul met an honorable end, but kindly Miquella wishes to revive it?..." she said it plainly in this episode, it was just cut out for time saving reasons
@lebron73 she's just wondering if that could be it at that moment, but as the quest continues they keep talking about Mogh, even to the last grace, but chat confirmed that's what miquella is doing
@@IamXhedo what I'm saying is that by that point in the quest, it is already a known fact that miquella took mohg's body and is doing something with it. Freya then starts talking about how what he's doing is using mohg's body as a vessel for radahn as was revealed in the note. It could not be more clear than that
I don’t think I’ve seen a man more unwilling to fight new enemies. That’s his choice and I respect it, play how you want, but man when this game has random knights that drop insane items I kill everything I can
It’s interesting to think miquella was able to charm without needing to be a god, but in becoming one he seemingly, at least for a time, loses that ability. Yet it’s also clearly his maiming defining feature of what his order would be, all charmed under him… so I question what really happened when he made the transition
Messmer is actually one of the rare "fair" bosses in the DLC for me. Most of them are just straight up bullshit (unless you use the best damage type aka thrust, which I didn't).
I disagree. At least the dragons in Elden ring don't spend 90 percent of their time in the air away from you. And torrent makes it so you can catch up and evade them easier.
@@concordiaharmony2302And some of them are at the same level as you or higher so that no matter what you wear, you’ll always lose a chunk of health even when wearing the best armor in the game. Fucking Todd.
I love people realising Messmer is so soon. Then you remember that the Artorias DLC wasn't about Artorias and suddenly it's all on brand
artorias was the cover boy of the DS1 dlc, he wasn't the final boss of it... manus wasn't anywhere on the advertisement
lady maria was on the cover of the bloodborne dlc, she wasn't the final boss of it... orphan wasn't anywhere on the advertisement
Elfriede's final form wasn't in any of the advertising for DS3's first DLC, and transformed Gael wasn't in any for the second
now in ER, Messmer was on the cover, and not the final boss... while the form of the final boss wasn't anywhere in the advertisement
DS2 was the exception, iirc... but that DLC was unusual in many ways, as was DS2 itself, lol
Bloodborne DLC The old hunter has Lady Maria on it cover and she is the 3rd boss

The look of abject horror on his face when he saw the inside of the jar lmao
That's not what all pot people look like

Yeah, Marika was entirely justified with what she unleased on the Hornsent, imo.
Yeah. But leaving her firstborn son there to wallow was not justified. So back in the asshole corner she goes!
Mesmer is probably my fav boss in the DLC

The delay on that fire spell really messed me around when I first encountered it
For pity’s sake Bricky, your place is in the jars
I see you are creating a madness build. Those stats will work perfectly
I cant wait for Bricky to get to the Abyssal Woods.
Unrelated but I watched Furiosa, and I couldn't get it out my mind that Praetorian Jack looked like Bricky. Just me?
Holy shit, can't believe they spoiled Miquella's intentions like it was nothing
spoiled? it's called doing the questline
