    important call-out made by a commenter. We refer to the denizens of Volcano Manor as "Bloody Fingers," they are actually known as "Recusants." they function in a similar manner to the Bloody Fingers but for different reasons.

    While Rykard & Tanith's true intentions are despicable, I believe the ideals of a Recusant, or at least a fraction of doubt in regards to the Greater Will, truly starts to hold meaning after Morgott's defeat. When the Two Fingers seemingly abandon us, Gideon and Enia implore us to press on, even if it means doing the unthinkable to the Erdtree.

    while bernahl was opposed to the two fingers he was never on team rykard for real. i think he infiltrated the manor to get the blasphemous claw and was making his way through farum azula with the intention to fight maliketh, therefore why you can summon him for godskin duo and why he drops the claw near the end of the area. he wanted to bring destined death himself.

    After killing Rykard you can find patches on the bridge to the end boss of the shaded castle in the Altus plateau injured and leaning against a wall, talking to him he will tell you he got in a bit of a slip up and should have stuck to what he knows best but will request you give this item to lady tanith. He then gives you the dancers castanets with the item description “castanets used by dancers from foreign lands” by talking to lady tanith in the boss arena she simply says she has no interest in them and refuses the gift and patches disappears. Perhaps they used to be lady taniths and she used to dance with them or something but I thought it might be something worth noting

    • @square-table-gaming

    Good video. Only complaint I have is the audio balance. Your voice is very quiet and I was finding it hard to hear at times.
    One angle you missed with Rykard was his desperation for power. Look at what’s around the manor. The iron virgins, which are found throughout the game at places where power could be sought after (Raya Lucaria comes to mind). A giant guards the entrance and uses madness, a clear sigh of the three fingers. The marionettes, made by Raya Lucaria to be warriors, defend the manor. You have a godskin apostle within the manor and a magma dragon. There are living pots, which seek the corpses of the strong to fill themselves with. Literally anything and everything that could lead him to greater power is gathered in one place.
    He was obsessed with power. He invited any and all opportunities for power. He was willing to go to any length and implore any means to become stronger.

    You mentioned that Rykard would eat his recuscants, but you said they would be trained to feed themselves to him. I don't think that's accurate. Based on the dialogue with Tanith right before she brings you to Rykard to kill him, she's bringing you to finally be honored by Lord Rykard, and you don't know that he wants to eat you. It might not have been entirely a secret that Rykard did this (based on serpent slayers sword's text, and the fact that nobody returns from Rykard), but I don't think anyone was willingly feeding themselves to him.

    • @square-table-gaming
      @square-table-gaming  2 роки тому +15

      So we're not saying they're being trained to allow themselves to be eaten. They're being trained to become stronger. The stronger they are, the stronger Rykard will become.

    it is a breeding ground to feed that serpent, that much is.. i believe true. they gave us some missions, to prove our strength, and if we succeed in all of them, then we're a worthy fodder.
    well.. that didnt go as plan huh? maybe they should check around the arena regularly, see if there's a serpent killer spear laying around.
    but.. i gotta say, as bad as they are, they still respect our strength when we came back after killing rykard. noone even mad, nor upset. well.. understandable tho, if we're able to kill their lord, surely we can kill every single one of them easily, yea... maybe except that damn crucible knight, that one might take a little bit of work.
