The cutscene halfway through the Fire Giant fight is so legendary but also sad. You can see his pain and determination to fulfill the task he was appointed to, no matter the cost. Always felt bad for putting that bad boy down.
I more see it like finally set him free from his miserable task.
Actually, killing him is more of a mercy
Killing him was a mercy, he was the last of his race after Marika genocided the Fire Giants and was cursed to look after the flame. Like Hewg, he was basically a slave forced to carry out the machinations of a cruel god.
i almost enjoyed seeing him in pain after he made me chase him back and forth the arena
I enjoyed putting that horrible boss fight to rest
I wish we knew what the deal was with the real giants that are entombed in the mountains. Those fuckers are huuuuge
The rumbling
Chadfrey killed them, sparing us from more giant bosses.

I always wondered if there were titans before the giants. I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed but when you wonder around long enough you'll notice some rock faces look like actual skulls and skeletal remains. Even before entering the boss room you can see skull's tucked into the crevice you pass over. Would be cool to see what those*giant* looked like in their prime.
well thousands of years passed before the elden ring shot down to earth so its definitely possible. the fact that the skulls are built INTO the mountain definitely suggests a hell of a lot of time has passed.
@@declancampbell1277Straight up fossils
Probably the true original rulers of the lands between that were killed by the fire giants with the help of their fell god.
It might be possible as the ones in caelid are colossal compared to the ones on the mountain top
I always thought of the fire priests as hereticals that turn from the golden order to embrace the flame of ruin, I think it is in some of the items descriptions
Black flame monks I believe. Their armor says they turned away from their task n worshiped the black flame
They did I believe. Some which went up to the mountain top also turned to a different form of Heresy and began to worship something called like “the red eye” or whatever. It’s apparently a being like the greater will and it came to them in dreams as just this glowing red thing in outer space. It’s apparently where the blood thorn magic comes from. That could be completely wrong idk.
Slightly incorrect, Marika did employ her own forces but what truly brought victory were the other dwellers of the mountains the zamor warriors, they were the only ones who could match the power of the flame of the giants. The fire monks aren't on the side of Marika they are heretics who worship the flame of the giants as all flames mean the end of the erdtree which is exactly why they are heretical. That's also why they are kinda still around though, because without the proper strength the giants flame can't be wielded so the fire worshipers (and the last flame giant) are still around because to Marika they no longer posed a threat.
Didn't the Golden Order found the Fire Monk Order as a method to help keep people away form the flame?
@Velloah yes so both are correct as the monks eventually started to worship the flame this isn't the only example of this happening in elden ring like with thr dragon cult in leyndell and one other I can't think of rn
Thorn casters fought for Marina and godfrey.
A year later, for clarification because some people. They were on the side of marika but like the thorn sorcerer's they were heretics and criminals alike and were not loyal to her cause. They were simply forced into banishment and cursed to guard the flame where they further worshipped thorn and flame alike. Still solidifying my previous statements.
@@gatcalibur6938 they fought in the war that’s all that matters and they Killed hundreds of fire giants with thorn sorceries. Don’t get upset big boy
No I didn’t but now I know
Thank you fextra for being a true legend as usual
It's nice to learn about the lore without having to worry about trying to understand in dark souls/from soft language or their attempts to make you dig for it
This is the story I feel that is a missing link in the game. Instead of a new update for elden ring, they should make Elden Ring 2. A story that highlights the Fell god and its return to power. Something like that.
🚬👽☕
I mean, Elden Ring will at the very least get one DLC.
So in short…. Marika was NOT a nice person
We shall call this historical moment the Fight Against Giants. May it be remembered for generations to come.
The boy giants wanted to go to the freezing lands and the girl giants only agreed if they could keep the flame of ruin cause they hate having cold feet.
Based one the fire giant fight, im glad that godfrey took out all of the others so we didnt have to
I like how fire giant survived a war but couldn’t survive a naked Tarnished with a sword 💀
Ahh, yes my daily dose of elden ring lore
Miyazaki, after making his 81539572th game where the world is dying, the god that ruled the world is dying and its your job to take down them and al lthe other gods before taking their place and continuing the cyclicacly nature of the universe
😎
Sounds like early god of war games lol
Kind of but that war plays a more important role than this one
So the monks protect the capital using fire incantations & weapon which the fire giant is strong against. It doesn't make sense.
Well, they don't seem to protect the capital from the Giant, more from the flame itself.
And after time, they become fascinated by it.
@Karak Dalík they are posted there to defend the capital is true because they are facing the chain bridge anticipating any advance from the giant(s). Their armors mock the giant of their fell god. But instead of using cold incantation and skill like Zamor knights, they use fire incantation 🤦🏻♂️.
It makes more sense if the fire giant is cursed forever unable to leave the forge, and the monks are there to defend capital from the beasts of the mountaintop (hand spiders, giant crows) as they're weak against fire.
@@ChristianUtama True, but those things can hardly operate elevators.
They aren't protecting the Capital from the last Fire Giant, they are protecting the Forge of the Giants.
@Velloah Protecting it so much they are facing towards the mountaintop allowing me to backstab them all.
Yes I can tell by all dead giant bodies
your voice is so comforting
This was all after the fire giants usurped the mountaintops from the ice dragons that ruled it prior.🤓
I can’t wait for Elden Ring DLC
Play the new Zelda game in the meantime
Its either the flame of frenzy or the flame of ruin that burns down the erdtree. I wish there was the blackflame as an option too, the god slaying flame from the gloam eyed queen.
That was the original intention actually. Farum Azula was going to be an optional dungeon that you would go through so you could burn the erdtree without sacrificing Melina or using the frenzied flame
You need to make a video with all these shorts into one long video. You have a soothing voice and i would listen to these a few times over
FromSoftware really has a thing for brutalizing giants in off-screen wars...
Well after the DLC this theory doesn't make any sense at least her vision for the Giants
The giant Giants are ancient old gods and they are not the same Giants that have red hair
ITS WOAHHHH AND WOAHHHH IT IS !!!!!!
💥🤯💥💥💥💥🤯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Are these the same giants from Dark Souls 2, that invaded the kingdom?
Ye and than we, a regular human, just kills the fire giant but a literal god couldn’t
Those big giants were ambushed by bee like humans
maybe just play the game so you figure out what happens
I've always thought the Prelates and Fire Monks were like the followers of the Giants. 😳
Man i swear elden ring is nearly identical to dark souls 2 lmao
No, we didn't know! If only it was mentioned in the game somewhere!
Elden ring gigantomachia
I guess elden ring id ds2 2
Can you please explain why Roundtable Hold and Fortified Manor look the same?
Reused model? Not too uncommon From Software move
You say that Marika cursed the giants to be eternal keepers of the flame, but the description of Burn, O Flame contradicts this.
"The fire giants borrowed from the power of a fell god, and still they were defeated. Yet their failure released them from their solitary curse: to serve as keepers of the flame for eternity."
Their "failure" and defeat resulted in nearly all of them getting wiped out, as you can see their remains on that mountain. She didn't curse them, they already were cursed before she was a thing. Their death released them from that eternal curse.
True, but i think Marika's "curse" could be said of the last giant. He HAS to tend to the flame, and he has to do it alone. no time for an uprising and the "fell god" is trapped in the last giant.
The tarnished is potentially responsible for freeing an outer god to try and influence the world again.
All hail the fell gawd
So was Marika not a good ruler??
I keep seeing two opposing opinions. Some say she was a great ruler and other day she was a Tyrant
Depends on what aisle you fall into. If you were loyal to the Golden Order during the height of the Golden Order era then you were probably fine but if you weren’t loyal to the Golden Order and you were threat to the Erdtree then yeah wasn’t going to be your best friend
This is the first game in my life that I actually love 😂🎉 and the first one to get platinum in PSN. CHEERS 🍻
The Trolls only fought due to their loyalty to the Carians (descendants of their astrologer neighbors of old) so Marika had nothing to do with their involvement (unless of course she secured Carian aid for the war)
I’m pretty sure marina just appointed people to watch the flame but soon turned into monks and worshiped the flame for the fear of its power
I didn’t wanna hold the guilt of making giants extinct
So I summoned 2 max levels to kill him.
If Marika just used her Godly powers to destory parts of the moutain hiding the forge thus having the possiblity of making the forge fall into the ocean making it harder to ignite the thing..
We need a book asap
Is the flame of frenzy in the flame of ruin similar or not really I know 1 of them is redder
They aren't the same, notice that the flame of the fell god can only burn the Erdtree but it will soon be expelled while the frienzied flame completely melted the land between, Greater Will along with all other Outer Gods
The way you pronounce "ruin" and "monk" are both terrible.
Might be an ai voice?
I just realized the keepers' armor has the exact face that forms in the Titan's front body.
Calling war a "war against the giants" is very creative, some may say D E E P E S T. L O R E
typical trope in all honesty except the face on the torso that part is new to me as a worldbuilder at least the way it was implemented here .
Did Marika ever come to realize the parasitic and shitty nature of the Erd Tree and the Greater Will? Or did she just lose a family member, smash the great rune to end death, and piss of the Greater Will in the process?
Yes i knew
Obviously dark souls 2 Lore
Of course I knew, because this is Dark Souls 2 2.
Giants just can't catch a break in Souls games
Always with the war against the giants with this guy.
Yes I knew but again great video like always
To be honest it is extremely hard to find an outer god that doesn't pose a threat to the erdtree the elden beast must be very weak
Not at all, the only one realistically can is the Frienzied Flame (and it isn't an Outer God), Plasidusax served the Dragon's God and he was considered the same rank as the Elden Lord but the Dragon God was possibly got beat up by the Greater Will
@@hainguyn948 the greater will I was referring to its manifestation the elden beast it would be pretty hard to fight a concept even for a souls character the elden beast itself must be very weak
To be honest I'm actually pretty lost on how they lost that war I mean like who did the Golden order send or did Godfrey really just solo most the giants
I wonder that too. But as you can see from the remains, the fire giants were obliterated by thorn sorcery, which makes things weirder. Who the hell, or what was strong enough to conjure that many thorns? As far as I remember, thorn sorcery requires sacrifice. Wth did they sacrifice?
Or those barbs aren't from thorn sorcery, maybe erdtree barbs? Idfk
@@xylenex8037 yknow I had the same thought but tactically it makes no sense either because they're trying to protect the erdtree so using its thorns would put it in more danger of being burned
Well, after you defeat morgott, the Path to go inside the erdtree are blocked by thorns that It was cast by Queen Marika, maybe Marika cast this thorns on the Fire Giants, because there is an item that says that Queen Marika defeated the fell god and curse only one to protect the Fire, i think It was her the responsible for killing them.
I’m speculating but I think the mountaintops weren’t original frozen, but that the zamor knight heroes were basically hired as mercenaries in the fight against the giants and froze it over
Borealis's mist states "The ice dragons were once lords of the mountaintops long ago, until they were defeated by the fire giants and chased from the peak."
This heavily implies that it's always been cold and frozen up there.
The giant skeletons intrigue me. There's some in caelid and if we look at the dragon shield talismans they resemble the lands between. It seems like a huge chunk of the land has disappeared, but from what?
That's always boggled my mind. The massive one near the fire giant boss location is buried within solid rock, how fking old is it!?
Fromsoft guide to world history: There was a war against the Giants, ALWAYS.
Yeah it's a constant
I had the fire monks flipped I thought they were the fire giants minions. That's why I was always confused why there are so many in liurnia if the war took place on the mountaintops
The fire monks work for the golden order as protectors of the flame against those who try to take it, but in some of the item descriptions it notes that they were drawn in by it’s power, and that’s why they use it. One fire monk stole an incantation and ran away to liurnia (he’s trapped in an evergaol), and that’s why the other fire monks are there looking for him.
So were the giants evil or is Marika? Fell god sounds like a bad thing but what Marika did is just as fucked up if not worse.
I don't think labels like "good" and "evil" can be applied here.
What Marika did was a preventive attack against a threat and enemy and she won.
I think the correct answer is that neither are good. Really there is no “good” in Elden Ring. But there is definitely “bad” (frenzied flame ending and fell curse ending) in this world.
Now I do
Now I do
Okay but what happened to the actual giants? Not their descendents
They died, there was a war dawg
@@ReturnTheSlab932 No you don’t get what the question is.
They meant the ACTUAL giants. I.e.,the giant skulls found in Caelid and the Mountaintop Of The Giants.
@@___Bandit___ they died dude that's why there are giant skulls lying over there.
The descendants are the trolls that we find all over limgrave and near stormveil. There is one troll inside stormveil near secluded cell. They are descendants of giants. Actual giants are all dead except the fire giant we fight
@@___Bandit___ We don't know jack about the skulls, but we can make an educated guess that they were a subset of the Fire Giants that were wiped out in the war.
It’s pronounced Mareekah, not ‘Merica. 🇺🇸
isnt the storyline of Dark Souls II this basically? that giants are hunted and extinguished
And then Vendrick came and defeated the giants...
