Elden Ring - Lost and obscure NPCs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 січ 2024
- There are a few NPCs that are commonly overlooked, with a few that even I've forgotten about sometimes. FromSoftware seems to have put a lot of thought into them though, even if they're not given much of a spotlight normally.
Song used: Sealed Grounds - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword OST - Ігри
There's a special eye setting, similar to the Dragon eyes or Frenzy eyes the player can unlock, which gives the player shiny, silvery irises, which the Silver Tears surprisingly don't use. It seems likely it would've been applied if the player completed the unused Asimi questline, drinking a silver tear and allowing it to inhabit their body.
It’s likely that the change of eyecolor is due to the mimic now being able to see through you and trying its bast getting more information about you.🐱
Zullo, please telling me about getting some silver eyeballs?
Zullie at 1:42 did you mean diseased and not deceased? I don't know the character, if he's dying from Scarlet Rot or something else that would be really cool
@@jackthompson2582 He's a ghost, so I was saying even without the aura that makes him transparent and glowing, he still appropriately kind of looks like he's dead.
@@ZullietheWitch about these NPCs... there's another one, the sanguine noble that invades in the consecrated snowfields. Now I feel bad because I always wanted to ask you about all of these, specifically for their face data because they were the only ones missing in your previous videos about the faces of the NPCs (excepting the great jar warriors) but I didn't want to bother you... could you please? 🥺🥺🥺
Does this mean.. That guy outside the colosseum is technically added to the very small list of NPCs with happy endings?
I mean essentially yeah
Dude finally got a job. The best ending.
I'm actually very much surprised that the armor set wasn't made available through the colosseum somehow.
@@michaelbowman6684 There's still hope within the DLC. Maybe another Colosseum?
Not if he got the same fate as Tiso.
My boy outside the Coliseum got his happy ending. Wish we could've seen him celebrating its opening
He strode in triumphantly ready to partake in glorious combat, then he got hit by rot breath from across the arena.
Phantoms only want one thing and it's disgusting
shouldve left him there but saying "now its open but Im fcking ghost and cant hit anyone"
Rykard's champion/knight specifically says he left the serpent-hunter in the boss room in one of his dialogues. I always assumed his body was the one holding said spear.
Yeah same here, I came looking for this post.
He is the original owner of the serpent-hunter, thats for shure, but someone else could have tried to use it. There have been a lot of attempts to kill Rykard.
2:02 i know it’s his arms crossed now but for a moment i couldn’t believe i missed the great jars dashing mustache
They don't tell you this but the Great Jar is filled with Pringles
Thanks Now I can't unsee it, not a bad thing though
Now I want a mod that gives him an actual giant mustache
@@zenebeanperfect
Nice
1:36 I didn't know this NPC appeared after nightfall. I had assumed he came and went based on the Volcano manor questlines and I just hadn't figured out what made him come and go. Neat
Same
The first 10ish times I was there I thought he always spawned, just me having odd timing and running past everything. (Why dying sets the time to day, I will never know )
@@ChangedCauseYT-HateFoxNames It's really annoying if you're trying to fight Deathbirds and Night's Cavalry.
The first Nightrider most people run into even has a Stake of Marika nearby... that's useless thanks to respawning always setting the time to morning.
Same i actualy thought it was triggered depending on yu do side quest with rya or so but i guess not lol
@@IdToasterThe Deathbird in the snowfield also does I think. It’s honestly stupid and makes killing night bosses needlessly tedious
I never realized that the Gelmir knight apparition only appeared at night time. I just thought that he had really specific triggers that I would occasionally miss, leading to me never seeing him on a playthrough.
Is that spirit wearing the Gelmir Knight set?
He _did_ have a really specific trigger
@@Xolcm Yep, it's got the same crest on that little shield thing as the one you can pick up in Gelmir Hero's Grave.
Edit: I found out that the little shield is called an "ecranche". So you medieval history buffs don't have to spam me the name.
@shreyanshsingh379 what was it? If it has changed?
He appears during the day, at least now. I've had it happen dozens of times.
“Looked a little deceased” is my new favourite insult
I loled at that
"oh he's just a _little_ deceased"
@@Integritys_Sumand slightly deceased means mostly alive - Miracle Max
"Added as an alternate way to complete varre's questline"
Me, a hardcore casual hermit who suffered through doing 3 invasions with bad ping- "THEY DID WHAT?"
hardcore casual outgoing evil hermit with a heart of gold
atually they made that npc especially for the folks who pirated their game. Miyazaki is based
@@lexyko2341Or for people like me who only wants to enjoy the main game without paying an online subscription to Sony
Something of note regarding the Silver Tears is that they turn inte the grey-skinned Nightfolk, who supposedly inhabited or at least are deeply connected to the underground cities.
Personally, I think they are taking the form of former inhabitants they met at some point, instead of taking on something new like the player
Edit: The Nightfolk are even said to have bled silver long ago
That's an interesting detail. Do the nightfolk predate the albinaurics? Given that the albinaurics are still around while the nightfolk seem mostly extinct, I'd guess that probably the nightfolk came first. Were the albinaurics an attempt to recreate the nightfolk? Or is it mere coincidence that they both share silver blood? Are the nightfolk the same as the Nox (who were related to the Numen), or were they perhaps created by the Nox to serve as slaves? Perhaps the nightfolk and the silver tears are actually one and the same? So many questions.
@@Greywander87I speculate nightfolk predate the albinaurics by virtue of being the result of intermarriage between silver tears and tarnished.
Nightfolk can be chosen for the player tarnished in the character selection screen. It is said nightfolk once bled silver, meaning they no longer do- you can test this, player nightfolk bleed red. Silver tears still bleed silver, so I'm inclined to believe they had children by tarnished mates. The player character is either among the tarnished who were banished with Godfrey, or a descendant of one.
Albinaurics pointedly have legs which do not work, and cannot procreate except by means of bestowing a silver droplet upon an enlarged member of their kind in the Consecrated Snowfield. They are purely artificial, having been created both by Carian royalty and the sorcerers of Raya Lucaria using Nox techniques.
We do not know when the earliest albinaurics were made, but the first generation is mentioned as having served in the first Liurnian civil war.
Maybe the night folk were the albinaurics of a previous age (artificial mortals)
@@Greywander87 i figured mohg had something to w it, being down there too. Its like a plague right? Something in the blood? Figured it got into the nightfolk, transformed em. A bio weapon. The silver tears imitating the former inhabitants, now corrupted.
@@luna7157 silver tear bleed silver? why i remember they bleed red color when they become human?
It really does grind my gears that From will go out of their way to model a complete armor set for a throwaway NPC, but not allow the player to obtain it without resorting to mods or the like. That would've been a neat little gesture if when they added in the colosseums if the armor that NPC was wearing was outside it, or in a chest inside it.
i also dont get removing the npc altogether, it could have been a neat easter egg for people that played before the colosseum patch and i think it would make sense to still have him lament his fate, you'd probably just need to tweak the lines a bit for it to make sense but it's doable
@@Gensolink Just have him outside celebrating the opening, then have a lootable dead body inside that gives the armor
@@dignelberrtyeah that would’ve been perfect
The Armor is most likely going to be available in Shadows of the Erdtree
@@DronesOverTheMoonThat's what I think. Repurposed for the DLC.
1:00 that colosseum phantom is also seen in some of the tutorial images in the menu, he's seen as a red phantom invading an a catacomb with a battle axe
Its really cool to see all of the different character models. I would have never seen these without Zullie.
Yes, the Jar Knights. Or as I know them, "I'm doing a RL1 run so I'm just going to let them jump off the cliff."
Valid, I hate npc fights
@@zenebeanSorcerer builds are awesome for this. You get tasty revenge will spam casting while their either roll around like losers or take it right in the face
I always thought that the Nameless invaders around Moghwing Palace was just suppsed to be Varre himself.
Varré (putting on a fake mustache and "Definitely Not Varré" shirt): Ah yes. That maidenless fool will never figure it out.
@@akechijubeimitsuhide That honestly sounds in character lmao
No, he wasn't the only one like him. He was just unique in how he took to the process. Being a rare success he was allowed the freedom to run missions. But I see no reason the failures died so the nameless ones are, in my mind, just the failures. Left to guard the palace as their bloodlust would serve well in that job
They can still invade you after you've already killed Varre, so it can't be him
@@naiiin6949Is time not convoluted in ER the same way it is in DS?
Something I like to think is that the npc are the characters of fromsoft developers and to hide it they make them put a helmet
I'd say one of them was miyazaki's, but none of them have uniquely detailed feet
@@zegreatpumpkinani9161 patches is thought to be his. every game that patches is in, is a game miyazaki has worked on, even the AC series. notably also is his absence from ds2, which miyazaki didn't work on.
It’s likely that Magnus was once a savage man that eventually joined the Ancestral followers but was forced to part ways with them due to him being targeted by the bloody fingers, which makes me wonder if that weapon of his was the reason for them targeting him.🐱
I knew the Great Jar summons NPC’s based on other online players but not that hugging Fia also does the same for her champions, neat
Dark Souls had many obscure characters either as invasions or just mentioned in item descriptions, but Elden Ring? It's been two years and there is an entire cast of characters I didn't even know about.
It's a small thing, but the enemy mimic tear appearances are like the D brothers in that they have grayish-blue skin and silver hair and eyes. The Nightfolk background in the character creator menu also has such a character.
NGL, it's a little disappointing how little attention the Nightfolk have. Seriously, even the Numen and Reedlanders have more info about them, and *that* is saying something.
Of course numen are more important. One of the pivotal characters in the game is numen
I feel like there's a good deal you can gather about them without hard text, at least. For example, Albinaurics are man-made beings who also bleed silver, so it's likely the secrets of the Nightfolk were partly uncovered by modern sorcerers, who then applied this knowledge to fashion their own homunculi, albeit less "perfect." (Then again, the silver tear clones have extremely basic intelligence compared to Albinaurics. If you simply place a ledge between you and the clone, they'll mindlessly walk over the edge to their death.)
Funnily enough, the silver blood detail seems to be carried over from Bloodborne, in which the man-made kin of the cosmos bled quicksilver. So maybe you could interpret some thematic parallels between the Nightfolk and the Pthumerians, lol.
3:05
I always assumed the silver tears mimicked the people that used to live in those cities, not the player
I absolutely love Magnus because he gives me an option of duel greatstars without needing ng+
I always thought that the Silver Tear NPC's had a strong resemblance to the Nightfolk base template at character creation. The Nightfolk were said to bleed silver, which also seems to be a connection to Silver Tears. Curiously, the only other place I think Nightfolk were mentioned outside of character creation is the flavor text or Urumi, a weapon that also seems related to the Nox weapons in functionality.
It's so heartwarming all the detail that went into this game. I like to imagine a lot of these were done following half-formed storylines only meant for the devs, or as creative indulgences of the dev crew.
The NPCs are one of the best parts of Elden Ring, if you ask me. With each playthrough, I get a little excited whenever I reach, like, Hyetta or Alexander or even Kenneth.
Well the NPCs have cool designs and nice personalities and stories, but the 'quest design', the way you interact with them, the way they move from place to place is probably the worst thing about Fromsoft games and hasn't really been improved since Demon's Souls
@@peachyjam9440 It's a little wonky for sure, hah. Then again, with the way Elden Ring is as a game, I don't really know of a better way for quests to take place other than 'So this NPC will stand there now and you can talk to them'... but I'm not a game designer either :')
@AzureDarkGod I think this is from softs first entry into an actually open world game, so I think some bloating and quest mistakes are forgivable. I just hope the dlcs and any future games in the style of Elden Ring are more polished
@@peachyjam9440some of them, like Ranni in particular, I think work nicely having a confusing, esoteric progression because it adds to the sense of mystique and discovery.
On the other hand, there is little enjoyment to be found in chasing around Corhyn and Goldmask like it's a Scooby-Doo bit.
Alexander is just bloody perfect in this - he's simple and forgiving to a fault. I swear there's no actual way of softlocking his quest unless you kill his ass or don't free him the one time, you'll always see the bastard during the festival and in Farum Azula, which is all the better for the Elden Ring take on the Onion Knight archetype.
@@peachyjam9440 One of the USPs of FromSoft is the depth of the world. Another USP is that the world has little regard for the player. NPCs dont exist just for the player to interact with them; they have their own quests going on which may be incidentally related to what the player is doing.
Just be happy they added NPC map markers lol
Regarding Magnus, there is mention of a Tarnished who befriended the Ancestral Followers, and who was gifted by them the Spiralhorn Shield. Although, you'd think Magnus would have wielded it if he was said Tarnished, so I feel like he was more so designed to look primitively savage-maybe more like a Demi-human. Besides, his weapon is made of metal, and Followers explicitly reject the use of such.
(Speaking of, I always found it unusual that the Followers' blue eyes, hair, and skin have visual similarity to Ranni's doll form. It makes me wonder if Ranni's mentor might have been related to the Followers, seeing as some appear in the Consecrated Snowfield, a region with numerous yet subtle ties to Ranni.)
@@awhellnah__ I was thinking more that the two moons-the usual one visible to the northeast, and the second to the north, but only visible from the Moonlight Altar-illustrate the Mountaintops of the Giants and the Consecrated Snowfield as having fundamental ties to Rennala and Ranni, respectively.
Before even getting into the implications of Ranni and Miquella's connections, the Consecrated Snowfield is the only surface region with white bowers, normally only found in Siofra River, another region connected to Ranni's story. Astel reappears here as well, perhaps another subtle indication of the Consecrated Snowfield's "purpose." Lastly, and more just kind of curious, it's the only region where Rimed Crystal Buds grow, an ingredient used solely to create the frost pots devised by Ranni's personal adherants.
Also it's snowy.

Since my laptop died, the only way I can enjoy Elden Ring is to binge watch your content... I love you for doing your thing but goddamn I miss my laptop...
Steam Deck moment
I love that you show npcs faces without helmets/masks and the color of their eyes, I wish we could see every npcs faces
I never knew that players likenesses were added to Fia's summoning pool when they hugged her! That is so cool! I love when games combine lore and gameplay like that!
I wonder if you have multiple characters, all of which have hugged Fia, and play offline, will Fia summon one of your own characters?
It’s fun until you get a moonveil spammer as one of them.
I think offline sets it to the presets no matter what unfortunately. I wish you could fight your own characters though
Just one of many things denied to anyone who wants to play the game with mods. This is my first time learning of such a feature too, but I'll never get to experience it since I'm never going to play without mods.
@@SotiCotolmfao man changes the game, then complains that his changes have changed the game. Peak first world problems and peak pc master race problems
@@SotiCotothat's why you always go for a vanilla playthrough your first time around...
Mods can be something like Seamless Co-op to play with friends or low resolution/textures for people with shit PCs, myself played with the super low res before buying a new pc lmao, stop being a dick to people for no reason.
Besides people cheated in online all the time in every Souls game, Dark Souls 3 was a nightmare. @@awhellnah__
A yellow spirit in dragonbarrow is wearing the unobtainable champion's set, and I remember they were saying something about the dragons. I dont know if it's the same as the one from the Colosseum since i only saw it recently, but i haven't seen anybody mention that specific spirit in dragonbarrow with the champion set
What, Yellow spirit in dragonborrow?
A yellow spirit sounds like an assisting tarnished/summon, and the Champion’s set is very much attainable. I’m not trying to say you’re wrong, I just have no clue what you’re talking about
I like to imagine that the spirit in the manor that tells you about the spear, is the dead body holding the spear. Itd make sense seeing as hes the only one who refrences its existences
An interesting model detail I noticed recently is the wormface deathblight mobs model is a normal body with a giant finger coming out of the neck, then worms coming out of the tip of the finger. Initially it just looks like an odd shaped body but if you look at the back arch you can see it’s 3 distinct knuckles
What about the "Sanguine Noble" that invades you near the portal to Moghwyn Palace? Because iirc that guy is also an actual player model character set up to look like one, and not an actual Sanguine Noble.
He shares a model and loadout with Nerijus I believe
What a fun and entertaining video this was! I love delving into these little side things and details
I'm not saying anything new but this remains the best video game lore channel on youtube. No filler, no dumb AI voice, and the simple presentation sets it apart, letting the storytelling take center stage. Using text instead of voiceover matches the dreamy fairy tale feel of the games.
Keep it up. You are appreciated.
Maybe the real Elden Ring was the bosses we encountered along the way
I like to interpret the humanoid silver tears as companion mimics, patiently waiting for their tarnished to return. Makes sense that a majority of them would appear in Nokron, scattered on the path to a blasphemous relic which might harm the Golden Order.
@@awhellnah__ Tarnished summon each other. There are millions of bells.
I hope the brave set ( colliseum npc) gets added with the dlc
Same. It would be awesome to have
Same! I love the aethetics for an axe-wielding Champion. It's not unprecedented! Patch's/Lapp's set in The Ringed City was a cut armor set in the base game.
it's so nice to be able to just relax and learn about some of our favorite souls games. Keep up the fantastic work Zullia! :)
I'm glad Colosseum Bro got his wish
Everytime I wonder...who dislikes these videos? Why? What's the reason?
The npc outside the coliseum in limgrave always confused me because it made it seem like you could get inside later
Well, technically, you could. Much later.
a extra thing about Magnus thats a nice QoL thing they did is that you dont need the questline active for his sign to appear.
and should you have a Bloody Finger you can invade and kill him.
then when you do Varre's quest, simply quit out to reload and that part of the quest auto-completes.
Man, I wish the Brave Cord Circlet was obtainable legitimately in-game; it's a way better headband than the ones available rn.
They should have left the colosseum spirit for those of us on PS4/PS5 who refuse to pay for online.
Always enjoy your content and really enjoy your background music taste! Have a good one Zullie!
Bro the music you use always has me vibing and dancing in my seat
Man fromsoft even give attention to an obscured npc.
I wished fromsoft is my parents 🥺
the silver eyes sounds interesting. would like to see more about the lesser known cut content
getting a close look at the ghostly gelmir night was interesting, i always saw him based on my more distant in game look (and not paying a great deal of attention) as a youngish man with black hair and a short beard
Thank you so much for this, I really wanted to see Magnus and the spirits properly because I prefer knowing my cast as a fan artist. Magnus especially bugged me because he is a legit NPC and not any sort of placeholder (like, dude has a name!) but he was added AFTER you did the video with all the sliders so he was missing
I wish the mimic tears that transform into people were actually copies of other players as well, including the first boss variant, and then the dungeon one is pvp. It's honestly kinda disappointing they didn't make any of them invaders.
In fact, that whole Nokron area with the transforming mimic tears should've been the new gank city with a covenant that specifically is for that underground area only, and spawning in makes your character grey like the mimics. This also includes the areas with the spirit moose people.
Like damn, they really dropped the ball with covenants.
I choose to believe that they didn’t have time to implement covenants considering how shitty multiplayer was on release but if there’s none of it in dlc, i’d be beyond disappointed cuz the lore is _sitting right there_
They could also use the unique silver eyes as a reward for entering the covenant too
fun fact, one of fias champions can use quickstep while holding a staff and shield. something that we can not do and is total bullshit
I’d really like to see a deep dive into how the summon pool works for fia and the great jarsonal
This is by far my favorite channel on YT. I just wish sometimes there was a voice instead of written text cause I often listen to YT while driving/doing chores etc.
I think the spirit is the burnt ashen body that gives you the dragon serpent for rykard since he says he owns it
What sets From apart: There are no pointless details. Nothing is wasted. Every character has a backstory, no matter how small they may seem
Hey Zullie, I have enteresting curiosity that might be worth looking into if you haven't already.
In Mogwyn's dynasty there is a seedling erdtree between all the big birds that has a golden seed loot as usual.
However there is also a golden seed on some rocks higher up that can be reached with some risky jumping, I believe before heading into the cave that leads to the grace before Mogh.
Curiously, from my experience at least, picking either of these golden seeds will cause the other to dissappear.
Presumably these two pick-ups share the same item ID, similary to the items on the collapsed bridge in DS3 which you previously covered.
It made me wonder if there are any other examples of this in Elden Ring.
AFAIK Zulie already has a video about this
Could you link that video cos I have been looking through their videos and haven't found the topic.
@@DarkHypernova sorry, I haven't either. Could swear I've seen it somewhere. Maybe not from Zulie?
@@vladislavgilyov6626
Turns out I mistaken myself. It wasn't a zullie video that I rememberd the shared item ID on the broken bridge in DS3 from, it was an Illlusionary Wall video.
Crazy I've been playing this game since it came out and still finding brand new items and people
Seeing that spot with the serpent-hunter again, is there anything notable about the one holding the weapon in place, or is it just a random corpse?
The weapon being there also always felt weird to me. I doubt Rykard somehow missed the fact that it's just sitting there, so I'm wondering why he just left it as it was until we pick it up.
Its possible that its status as the weapon meant to slay him includes him not being able to touch or even perceive it. Or maybe his "Rule by the Strongest" philosophy compels him to leave it there so people have a fighting chance against him.
Considering his giant AOE's wouldn't surprise me if the champion was killed before he could demonstrate what it was, just another weapon of his weak foes
I mean, if Rykard is worried about that weapon's power, it wouldn't be too far-fetched he wants to keep it in his room where he can keep an eye on it personally. His only mistake was putting it at the door instead of right next to his throne like Yhorm.
It's also very possible that Rykard himself just isn't aware it even exists. He doesn't seem to even be conscious until you get to phase 2, so its highly likely the guy died to Phase 1 and Rykard never even saw it.
Personally, I'd say:
All of the above.
I'm quite sure more people than one might think battled the Knights of the Great Jar. Because the builds of players are just the worst to go against.
Always happy to get a new Zullie video
Lamenting Spirit was just a teaser for upcoming Colosseum. Kind of a wink / easter egg towards those who played the game in early days.
Never knew about the Fia summoning pool and the Jar one since I've been playing in a seamless coop save for my first actual playthrough. Tried a couple times in vanilla but never got hooked like I did their previous games until a couple weeks ago.
There's another rather inexplicable NPC who I at least don't recall in any of your NPC unmasking videos, that being Recusant Henricus, an NPC invader who attacks the player in front of the Limgrave colosseum. He's always stumped me because he's a recusant who's wearing the Eye Surcoat, implying some connection to Gideon. Whether that's because Gideon sent him inside Volcano Manor to learn of the recusants' activities, or if he's a turncoat who's joined the recusants for good is unclear. You also find the Eye Surcoat yourself on a body in Rykard's arena, of all places, which just thickens the plot further as to Gideon having some tie to the recusants (or just sending numerous pawns to their deaths scoping out Volcano Manor)
Never knew there were online and offline that's kinda cool :D
They seriously need to officially restore the Kale and Mimic Tear questlines.
As an offline player I've been killing Varre on most playthroughs so I had no idea they added a way for me to complete his questline 😂😂
Magnus the Beast Claw
With RED markings on his face
Magnus the Red face marked...
Magnus the Red...
HE DID NOTHING WRONG
The Champion of Rykard is the spirit of the Justiciar's sovereign nobility; while the warrior-mage of Rykard became but another victim of the serpent, his eternal glory shines through, and gives you hints pointing you to the God-Killing Weapon. While he cannot speak, it is the truest form of Rykard's nobility, and he took the fight all the way to the Serpent's Lair... but for a God Devourer, he was little more than a skin for the snake to wear.
I think Magnus’ face is identical to the premade Champion class from the Beta, actually. Maybe when From decided to make Varré’s quest available to offline players they decided to take the old premade character model, slap some new gear on him to make him look like another player, and throw him in.
so someone is fighting my ghost self right now
"one set of NPCs the player may never encounter" laughs in no internet
3:14 - This one got me thinking when I first saw it in the game.
These Silver Tear mimicries aren't dissimilar to one of the selectable character phenotypes - the Nightfolk, whose description mentions that they supposedly bled silver in the distant past.
I can see two possible ways to interpret this.
1. The Nightfolk originate from Silver Tears that forsook the path of lordship (whether of their own volition or through their makers' will) in pursuit of trying to become perfect imitations of 'humans' (using the term loosely). Eventually, this succeeded to such a degree that the humanoid Tears were able to interbreed with existing populations, eventually becoming such peerless simulacra that they were literally indistinguishable - to the point where the inhuman qualities of the original Silver Tears gradually faded away.
2. The Silver Tears were made by the Nox, who seem to have grey/silver skin. Thus, the Tears' human forms actually would have fit in among the grey-skinned inhabitants of the Eternal City, and only seem like a giveaway to those intruding upon Nokstella.
2:35 HOLY FUG LOOK AT HIM! DOUBLE GREATAXE CHAMPION!
I WANT, I NEED THAT FACE DATA!
1:57 - No way. If he'd been eaten, he'd have been absorbed into the bloodied mess of souls which serve/are the Serpent King.
My first thought was that he must have escaped that chamber after being fatally wounded, and died in some remote corner of the Manor. Then, his status as a recusant & the Manor being actively set against the Golden Order allowed his spirit to linger, trying to warn others of what Rykard had become.
god fucking damn it miyazaki, 12 months without a word about dlc
"a little deceased"-is that like being a little bit pregnant?
Oh it's time of day that affects the Volcano Manor spirit? I thought it was tied to exploring Volcano Manor.
That too. You gotta explore Prison Town, and then he will start spawning at night. It's part of the natural progression of the story. You would get to Prison Town only after the first assassination, and being welcomed into the Recusants as one of them. Rya will them tell you about strange noises comming from behind the wall. You would then explore Prison Town and whenever you got back inside the Ghost would be ready to spawn and tell you to not trust the Recusants and Rykard.
Hey you should definitely do videos on lies of p! Would be really interesting!!
Oh god... At the end of the video the fire sound made me freeze in place, i thought my headphones were faulty.
"When patch 1.08 opened the doors" IT DID WHAT?!
Dedicated PVP coliseums were not available when the game first launched but they were added in a future patch
@@MichaelRigoni I knew that first part, just never realized they got added at some point - I remember lots of people SPECULATING that it's gonna happen or that it was planned and canned, but I guess I just missed the news.
Absolutely didn't know about the timing for the dead NPC of the Manor, I just got lucky the first time.
Golly, Elden sure is a mysterious game!
The guy outside the Colosseum has cloudy eyes and wears a unique set of armor that closely resembles the blue warrior outfit. Could that spirit be the dude who trained Malenia?
it's still insane to me how long it took for them to add a way to do varre's questline if you didn't have access to online. I didn't, and still don't, and as far as I know there aren't any hints that the alternate way to mogh exists, so I did my first playthrough assuming it was just impossible to get to him since i wasn't gonna fork over 60 bucks for psn+
The real missing or forgotten NPC character was today's sponsor all along
The Silver Tears are actually just really big fans of the Rocky Horror Picture Show
She back
I assumed Magnus was a follower like D and the Vulgar Militia.
Reading item descriptions associated with Varre, I wonder if the nameless white masks were war surgeons who were also abducted along with Varre, and as Varre was the only one who could tame Mohg's accursed Omen blood, I wonder how that connects with Varre looking fairly normal but with the Lord of Blood tattoo, while the Nameless White Masks are washed out with a forehead scar...
Wait, so all you have to do to add player data to Fia's summon pool is to hug her? Well I guess it's time to make a bunch of really goofy theme builds and flood the pool with nonsense.
interesting bt i think is that the mimic tears take what looks like the generic apearance preset thats supposed to be related to empyreans but i could be remembering wrong
I like the silver tear skin and eye colour, makes me want to do a Nightkin origin Duskborn play through
Do your suggest any connection between nightfolk and age of duskborn, or is it just a personal choice of character creation and roleplay?
Weve seen another character with the title Beast Claw in Bloodborne. His name was Beast Claw Josef
I wonder if Magnus is the 'certain tarnished that cultivated ties with the ancestral followers.'
Also, doesn't Rykard's guy specifically say that he left the spear in the boos room? I always assumed he was the burnt corpse holding the spear.
@@LoboPal maybe that body really him💀 he looks like some dead spirit.
2:52 You're telling me Ian Mckellen was the one who invaded me in Mohgwyn Palace?
I really like how the Magnus guy looks. Do we have access to the sliders for that character? Would love to use it for a future playthrough.
