Fun fact. Shard of Alexander you get for defeating him at Farum Azula is literally a chunk of Radahn. If you look at the icon for radahns armor that you get, its missing a small chunk out of its chest. Looks like it matches the shards icon perfectly.
@@hidan407 its Dark to think about using humans/humanoid's body parts as weapons because WE are human, and there *can* be horror implications But fact of the matter is, using what you hunt as equipment is as old as the stone age, that's as natural as cavemen were Honestly, saying weapons made from body parts is creepy is a bit of a hot take its what our ancestors from millions of years ago, and maybe still today with animals is
I have a place to put this, i love this detail. The balloons. You pop them for Runes- which are described as Warm. That basically means the Carians are using decently sized runes to heat air in balloons to have them float. I love that, idk why

5:57 ya know I was wondering why so many great jars lay at the feet of minor erdtrees and now I know. That’s a nice little circle of life detail they added there.
If the lightning balls are called wisps then they are not the souls of the dead. They are very obviously just willow the wisps from European folklore. They were little orbs of ghost light thought to frequent bogs, marshes, and other wetlands. They would often mislead people traveling at night and while not necessarily thought of as "evil" were a bad omen.
i think weapons that were made of enemies or monsters in ELDEN RING was meant to be something that is craftable like in Monster Hunnter Series i think they just drop that idea because of Monster Hunter itself?
Not sure if it's because of Monster Hunter itself, probably just not being satisfied with the mechanics or not finishing it in time like most other cut content.
Making weapons/tools from bones and other animal parts has been a thing since prehistoric times so there could be plenty of sources of inspiration for that.
They’re drops from enemies that use similar weapons and or historic items used by people around the lands before you, it’s just how the souls series has always done it every single souls game and souls like does the same thing for the most part. Plus with boss weapons you do sorta craft them in a way from the soul of said felled boss, However it’s not really the same exactly. But Monster Hunter didn’t invent the idea of making items from parts of dead creatures, pretty much any game ever with a crafting system has had the same concept.
Tanith's mask isnt modeled afted her own face. The description says its modeled on a foreign queen. Tanith was a dancer (probably one of the dancers like those in Dominula, as they were originally from Gelmir, and probable pagan snake worshippers) when she met Rykard, and I doubt she was both a dancer and a queen Its still probable that the Iron/Abductor Virgins/Maidens (From, just pick one name and stick with it) are based on Tanith. Their face is similar but different from Tanith's mask, and the snakes that burst forth from its lower body is a symbolic recreation of the "repellant birthing ritual" that resulted in snake-human hybrids born from the womb of a human woman. Presumably, Tanith takes on a motherly role to all the snake people, not just Rya; she may have been the one to give birth to the snake people, but it seems more likely it was Daedicar, referenced in the Daedicar's Woe description.
No it don’t consider that it was in dark souls 1 it’s always been a thing in fromsoft games like u could target the tail and get a extra weapon and infuse weapons with boss souls plus monster hunter is so tedious imo
he looks at RR martin like my parents looked at me when I was talking about a game in my childhood. they appear to be listening but they dont understand a word.
The balls, I found one that if you avoid it and make it off a cliff near a bridge that a dragon guarded(been a while since I've played so forgot names and that, but there's also a tower there) you get a lot of runes, there was another ball down the track, so I respawned and went to both and got them to chase me to a cliff and avoided them. But only one gave a big amount, the other was tiny, but I found that if I kept respawning near the tower getting the runes from it crashing over cliff and rinse and repeat, I could level pretty quick. Always made me curious why balls had runes and missed the part what said they were mimics
I'm sorry but when I hear your voice I just get this picture of Matt Watson from Supermega in my head and I can't shake it. You guys sound very similar.
From left to right, those weapons are Family Heads, Celebrant's Skull, and Ancestral Infant Head. Ancestral Infant Head technically isn't categorized as a weapon but rather a reusable tool. So yes, they are real weapons you can find in the game
I just wish there were a few more filler weapons, like basically another uchi with different colors, more basic straight swords with different colors. If you want an infusible weapon you usually have like 2 choices per class, and if you don't like how they look you're kind of boned. Like the brown uchi is fine but I really miss the black sheathe, and the washing pole clipping through the floor gives me an aneurism
Come to think of it I do remember one time hearing Alexander saying something about corpses and I was thinking. "Homie you don't wanna use these bodies they have something worse than aids". I don't remember what else I thought after that other than Alexander is weird.
I always thought the finger club was Rykards finger, but is it possible that the spider hands are also Rykards hands? Like he is a snake guy, could he grow back his hands?
If it isn’t it’s still worth saving up and buying at full price one of the best games released in years fromsoft are usually pretty good with deal’s though
Lore about animals who suck blood to reproduce isn't that far-fetched, common mosquitoes do indeed need to feed on blood to produce eggs ... Although the animal in question being a landborne octopus is certainly a funny idea.

Considering you get to farum azula after radahn.. since living jars put dead bodies in them to feed the minor erdtrees.. not good
The red chunk of hair makes it more obvious.
"Enemies as weapons"
*me, a Monster Hunter fan*: yes this is normal
exactly what i thought
Same idea I thought. I like how its seen as dark here, but we dont even think of it much in MH
Same

Fun fact: the code name for the giant land octopus is GroundTaco.
Extra: the little one is GroundTacoJr.
Probably because "tako" is Japanese for octopus, but then they misspelled it and now they're Mexican food.

I heard the death machine face was based on Rennala’s but Tanith makes more sense.

like faeries right?
Will o the wisps.
Will of the ghosts.
They are not souls of the dead they are the will of the dead?
What are you saying dude
All this madness and Rabbit Hole concepts are the exact reasons why I adore Fromsoft Games
I claim personal responsibility for the kill rate of Exile Soldiers. Their armor (sans hood) is too cool.

Not sure if it's because of Monster Hunter itself, probably just not being satisfied with the mechanics or not finishing it in time like most other cut content.
That's right, because Monster Hunter has intellectual property for crafting weapons from bosses
Making weapons/tools from bones and other animal parts has been a thing since prehistoric times so there could be plenty of sources of inspiration for that.

It's pretty normal for dark souls. In Dark souls 1 you could even cut enemies tail in order to get a nice bonus weapons.
"Miazaki, are you ok?"
No.
No he is not.

So Alexander's innards, which you pass onto his nephew to grant him the courage and strength of his uncle, are literally Alexander's guts and heart?

4:03 Suicide Mission Bastards
Elden ring being as popular as it is makes me happy and mad at the same time.
I really enjoyed that man :) thanks for another great video!
At 4:12 - 5:25, let’s just be glad that there isn’t a whip made of tongues.
The jar lore just got a whole lot darker now
In the french version of elden ring, the name of the suicide jar is a reference to the a team too
If Colbert is ever involved in my work I'll find a new line of work.
ZeeVoke AND A+Start in one day? I didn't know it was already Christmas!
I never realized there's so much stuff made out of creatures
"What happens if you die away from the urdtree? You become a dumb stupid lightning ball."
Bro turned elden ring into something motivational and entertaining. Props!
i'm calling the soldjars the a-team from now on.
A rare sight but oh boy is it fantastic!
Surely all the weapons made from enemy parts have nothing to do with the recent popularity of the Monster Hunter franchise...
No it don’t consider that it was in dark souls 1 it’s always been a thing in fromsoft games like u could target the tail and get a extra weapon and infuse weapons with boss souls plus monster hunter is so tedious imo
Great light hearted video. I just started thinking, imagine if ER would have that handle mixing system LOP has 😅

8:16 isnt that solaires logo on the poop(dung)eater
This is not even close to the most horrifying thing in Elden Ring
"emergence"
Don't forget Blaidd's armor description containing a reference to "Frozen". Yes, I'm serious
3:29, that's what they get when their the best glitchless rune farm in the game.

@@LtCdrXander ahhh its a tool thanks for clearing that up
@@notearthman794 you can find it in Siofra River (in the upper ancestral follower area accessed through Nokron). It's not very good though honestly.

I call the wisps blue balls
Damn, I didn't know demon souls flopped. Loved it.
Ya its a pretty interesting success story I surprised more aren't aware
This is great keep going
The weapon designs in ER are in my opinion by far the best among all the souls games. Something for everyone 😂
Except their movesets ...

I always thought the finger club was Rykards finger, but is it possible that the spider hands are also Rykards hands?
Like he is a snake guy, could he grow back his hands?
You’re thinking of lizards.
the spider fingers are imo the hands from dead giants from marikas crusade on the giants and rykard is just reviving them somehow
Love it. Do dark souls now
