    Rennala's second phase reveal, along with Ranni's VO, blew me away the first time I saw it. She transforms from a vulnerable, distracted and unsettling 'boss' into a focused and powerful sorceress. I think it caught everyone off-guard, and shattered our expectations.

      Yeah this is late, but if you see this. That was likely all a mirage created by Ranni or an illusion.

    I really feel for Renala. To be thrown in that kind of depression….it’s hard to find your way out. Ranni being so protective is heartwarming.

  • @antrimbull9801
    @antrimbull9801 Рік тому +48

    I rarely see this brought up but there's no way it's a coincidence that Rennala is obsessed with reincarnation and Ranni, her daughter with who she shared a close relationship, has seemingly died. I can imagine she's torturing herself trying to find a way to bring her back, but her efforts are all doomed to fail because, as we know, Ranni isn't actually dead, and you can't ressurrect someone who hasn't died

      @@miss_chalice quick question, if I may. Why is it that no one seems to be talking about the egg itself? Where did it come from, why did Radagon have it in the first place, why was it no longer needed to him? Basically, is it possible that Marika tried to be reborn as Radagon?

    • @duckchen2676
      @duckchen2676 2 роки тому

      ​@@Thalidal There are two other references to "amber" in the game. I think the more relevant one is the HP/FP/Stamina talismans descriptions which state "The Erdtree's old sap becomes amber, treasured as the most precious of jewels in the age of Godfrey, the first Elden Lord." Given they were married during/around the age of Godfrey, I would guess it's sort of like a wedding gift to celebrate their union. Similar to how the Golden Order Greatsword was Rennala's gift to Radagon.
      As to why the Great Rune of the Unborn is in there, I have no idea. Considering we take the Great Rune out of the Egg without breaking it, it still could have been put there after the Egg was formed. It could have been placed inside there before or after the Shattering and there is no way to tell.

    Renala's second phase arenablew me away. There is a ton of beautiful locations in ER but that arena was truly breathtaking. I'm a tad obsessed with the moon, so when I saw that I lost it, the fight I mean. Shit was too pretty to think. Endless water you fight on top of and the giant white moon in the background, fuckin gorgeous.

  • @abhitejvelore
    @abhitejvelore Рік тому +17

    The choice of summons by Rennala is also very interesting.
    She summons a dragon, a troll knight, a blood hound knight and wolves.
    Her words - Oathsworn Dragon / Giant - However, she doesn't conjure the changed versions. The dragon breathes fire, just like Adula and Smarag before they were corrupted by glintstones by devouvering sorcerers, nor was the troll a carian knight, but a regular troll. However, both of those are known to have sworn an oath towards the Carian family.
    Then comes the Bloodhound knight - we know that Bloodhound knights find a master, infact, we hunt Darwill, a bloodhound knight, whom blaidd calls - a traitor. So atleast, in the past, they were in her service.
    And finally - Wolves. Probably along with owls, the animal most associated with the full moon.

  • @woutert114
    @woutert114 2 роки тому +35

    Another nice reference to you fighting Ranni in the second phase instead of Rennala is that all the summons she uses are connected to Ranni somehow. Her wolves can be found around the Three Sisters just like that one dragon. And she summons a troll that could be reference to Iji. The Bloodhound isn't exactly the same thing as Blaidd but he does seem to have a connection to Bloodhounds as he is rather upset with Darriwil.

      @@knockout7302 no its crazy that no one has figured out the main character of the game is miquella
      The reason melina says "his kind is sure to seek out the elden ring , even though it violates the golden order.
      This contradicts everything the fingers and gideon say about the tarnished.
      The fingers directly direct you
      as a tarnished to seek being elden lord
      The tarnished are called back and given grace to specifically do this very task.
      So why does melina say, that him going after the elden ring violates the golden order????
      Who going after the elden ring would worry merika and the golden order!!???
      The very demi gods themselves.
      Merika wants the tarnished to eternally try and fail- gideon explains this is merikad desire so he is there to stop you.
      Torrent is important BC torrent is spirit he recognizes his former masters soul. Miquella is the being everyone thinks is not very much in the game.
      This whole story is miquellas rise to elden lord.
      There is enough lore to explain his plan.
      Currently there are 6 endings with miquellas being the age of abundance
      The 7th and right ending as everything is valid in miquellas world

    First of all. AWESOME VIDEO.
    I came to some slightly different conclusions though.
    Renalla is dead. Its Ranni using the power of the egg to bring her back.
    That Phase 2. Its exactly like a spirit summon. as you say. Theres even bell chimes in the soundtrack just before the portal opens. But you must see that if Ranni can spirit summon her mother, she must have her mothers ashes.
    She keeps up the illusion that her mother is alive. But when we start to defeat her, Ranni takes over and Puppets her mother for Phase 2. Another ability Ranni is known to possess.

    I like to think that Rennala practices reincarnation because of Rani. We don't know exactly when Rennala began her study of this art, but I like to think she's trying to reincarnate her dead daughter. Rani's plot was not known to all, and Rennala is locked within the library of Reya Lucaria, so my theory goes that Rennala still believes Ranni to be dead, and hopes to one day, recreate her. A poor fate for such an admirable person, when she was still whole.

    Watching this, the attention you drew to the nonfunctional legs of Renalla’s “children” has an interesting parallel to generation 1 of the Albaneurics, who are also in this region. The idea that Ranni summoned a spirit ash of her mom for phase 2 is super interesting, and totally went over my head.

And I was questioning myself: "Okay, the moment where we fight our own version in the game is here... where's all the rest? where's the moment that the game will make us fight our own mechanics like the Spirits Summoning?" and there it was, in my face, i just didn't noticed.
    Thank for the video, thank you for the themes and the extremely clear symbolisms that TOTALLY passed by me, i really didn't noticed.
    I'll have to play this game a second and third time to catch everything up, because right now I'm just learning patterns, movements, item positioning, quest lines and story progression. It was really good to see this video, it helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

    My only complaint is that I got here so early in the channels life, that I now I have to wait for more videos. 😫 But I love these lore videos.

      Aha you're right! It is super early days for me, so grateful for your comment tho. You won't have to wait too long :)

    Absolutely love your lore videos! The pacing, your voice tone, and the depth you go in to… they are absolutely fantastic! I hope to see more!

    I like your stronger, clear voice more than the whispery asmr voice.
    But I'm probably they only one...
