To me, it's the inevitability of its grip over Axiom. At no point during the game's events are we given an idea of how to stop the approaching threat of the Putrid Mother and the Umbral Realm. At best in the Radiance and Infernal endings, we just ignore it in favor of our chosen god, but neither Orius or Adyr seem to have any solution to the problem. Their respective reigns seem to only delay what seems to be an unstoppable force that, whether it'll be in the present or future, WILL consume the world and all who live in it, mortal and god alike. To thwart it is like trying to thwart the concept of death itself. No matter what powerful hero might arise in Axoim's future, stopping the Putrid Mother's approach just seems impossible.
@@TheLorebrarians To tell the truth I’d skipped this game early on, due to the mid reviews, but after finding your videos on the lore and a play-through with Fighting Cowboy, I bought it and realized how wrong I was to try skip it. Thank you. Been a fan of the channel ever since.
I never understood why the more I used Umbral magic and wither spells and crystals on my weapons that I did more frostbite build up, I didn't realize that the more I used it that it actually effects your character in its entirety and changes you and your fighting abilities, I love that detail
Menasilde is the goddess of the moon and patron deity of Wolusia. Lore bits can be found in the shield of the moonlit emissary and a rhogar sorcery (can't remember which off the top of my head)
I am so glad to see the umbral covered. It was really the silent puppeteer in the background. I like to think that the umbral lamp Harkyn bears somehow influenced him to give the cleric the rune of Adyr, which becomes a crucial part of umbral’s plan to enter the mortal realm (and ironically the way to kill the immortal Harkyn and collect his parasite). I wonder just how much of the events axiom witnessed were influenced by the putrid mother. So Lahn Gerysh is basically the Abdul Alhazred of LOTF?
I managed to find out what happened to the Nohuta. According to the Putrid Polearm item description, they were genocided by the hallowed sentinels, likely when they first invaded Mournstead.
The gods in LOTF are invulnerable to death, and the only way to ‘kill’ them is to consume them with umbral. The putrid mother is probably immune to that, though.
Okay here's the deal bud; you keep posting lore vids and imma keep listening to it at least 4 to 5 times in the same week as a sleep aid, then another 1 or 2 times to actually get the info so I can steal lore ideas for my d&d game, sound good? Good
Destroying the Putrid Mother is simple really. One must unleash the Frenzied Flame. Joking aside, the Putrid Mother and Lord of the Frenzied Flame have a lot in common. They both consume all. Every living thing and every layer of reality will be consumed and become one. I propose a final death match between the Putrid Mother and Frenzied Flame. Who can consume the other first?
for why umbral magic seems to require both radiance and inferno, a few item descriptions as well as molhu reference returning creation to a "natural state" and returning it to the void, so it may be that the gods and their magic (as well as axiom) are fractures of the one complete and homogenous whole that is umbral. The Putrid mother’s indiscriminate embrace makes a lot of sense too.
For Putrid Mother LIFE is "mistake. The only thing important is her. SHE IS EVERYTHING. All become ONE in HER. All life on the worlds are just Thiefs. Beceause all belongs to her... and her hunger.
Thank you for the new video about lotf! The magic requiring both inf and rad is not clear to me. The theory about equality, as Mother accepts all is cool, but if we connect it to Nohuta imprisoning their fellow citizen for learning Inferno magic it falls apart a bit. But maybe it was just Nohuta's rules. So for me it's either Umbral magic is superior and requires both talents, or dev's just decide it to be in this way, in order to avoid adding one more stat for character. As always, great video, thanks again!
The most mysterious thing about this game is the dodge roll script. How you avoid damage in a V shaped death box just by button timing is a true wonder to behold.
What do you find most terrifying about the Umbral Realm?
Probably the fact that all beings across all worlds are being watched at all times by a ceaselessly hungering god.
She will feed.

So happy you’re still covering this game. Instant like from me.
The worldbuilding and lore of this game are phenomenal, hope to cover some more topics in the future

I'm confident in the future this video will do alot better once people actually realise how good the game is 🙏
This lore series made me love this channel even more. Hopefully DLC will come and you guys can cover it!
DLC would be awesome!
Just released on gamepass a few days ago and here I am diving deep into the lore. Thanks a bunch!
Lods of the Fallen needs more attention! Great video
Appreciate it, and I agree! A great game with rich lore
Dynamic between gods in LotF is so cool

If the Putrid Mother is death personified, how do you kill death? Death is the fate of all things. The ultimate truht, that none can escape.
Aww yis, Lords of the Fallen content! Gimme
Any more knowledge on Mennacilday? (if I’m spelling it right) I was unable to find anything online about that god. Referenced at 28:53

@@TheLorebrarians Thank you!!
if only the game was as good as the lore and story

They really went crazy with the art direction in Umbra

As for ideas to destroy the Putrid Mother, have we tried building a giant robot?

@@Sometuy11A So what you're saying is that building a giant robot hasn't been tried yet.
@@Edrobot7 essentially.
This video game doesn’t deserve you ❤❤❤ I absolutely think the amount of views is astonishingly low for the quality of videos you provide.
Lords of the Fallen lore goes so hard! Thank you!! This game deserves better 🥺🥺
Glad you enjoy, and I agree! The lore and world they created is amazing
AGREED!
Please make more of these. This game has such rich lore.

Probably the Putrid Mother since she apparently is in all universes in lords of the fallen which kinda sounds above everything in elden ring.

Babe wake up, he posted again
For Putrid Mother LIFE is "mistake. The only thing important is her. SHE IS EVERYTHING. All become ONE in HER. All life on the worlds are just Thiefs. Beceause all belongs to her... and her hunger.
Even with my speakers on full, I can barely hear your videos.
Love the content.
Appreciate the feedback, glad you enjoy
It's definitely your speakers or ears. My phone isn't even at a third of its max volume and I can hear him just fine.
I hear his voice fine with my volume low so maybe your speakers aren't working properly.
The only logical way to destroy something that hungers would be to starve it
Have you seen Smoughtown's video on the same subject? I think you guys would bounce real well off each other. Thanks for the story.
Awesome to see someone continued covering lore of this game :) its under rated if you ask me.
I am glad to see you’re continuing with the lore of LOTF I was worried I’d have to go read every item lol
Yay
Thank you for the new video about lotf!

That's great insight! I do like the theory that Putrid Mother is superior/accepting of all for the inf and rad requirements
