It's just a game...

Ngl I think there's gonna be a second dlc. You can see the vanilla map shows a single finger after getting all the map fragments. The dlc map shows the three fingers after getting all the map fragments and you go to 3 different locations with finger prints on them. I'm pretty sure if a second dlc comes out, it's going to be a map of the 2 fingers

That’s because Bayle is. Just because some viewed him as a hero doesn’t mean he was, he was venerated specifically for his devastating power. But it expressly says on his heart that he is a tyrant just as Placidusax is, and that’s done intentionally as it’s meant to mirror how Marika and the Hornsent are so similar in their own applications of power. Bayle and Placidusax are two sides of the same tyrannical coin.

Probly the map is set up for another dlc

Howdy there I have 2 theories about Melina and Messmer: 1) Marika was present during the Gloomed eyes queen Reign. As a saint or Emperyan she had Radagon and had twin during the reign. Before the great betrayal, l think Messmer And Melina has been arround the GEQ. They have been close that the GYQ sealed some of her power in the left Eyes of Melina(this is not a grace seal). And that is why Messmer might has been ordered by marika to burn to death Melina, and then Marika had denough and took power etc... 2) Radagon had Messmer and Melina with the GEQ. and Radagon killed the GEQ. In the video for the DLC when "Marika" do the position in Front of the gates after taking grace from the corps she has a lack of upper woman part that seems odd to me. Thas is why messmer looks pale and has snakes (abyssal in the right) and Melina has the GEQ in her left. After taking power Marika act like the mother of them both but has no interrest and don't care about them. Messmer still has burned his litle sister down in Marika name and Marika disposed of him in the Land of Shadow after. Radagon is Marika <-> Marika is Radagon. They believe to be hers. They kinda are but not like they think they are.

Thousandth like 😎

Bayle is a dragonkin...the undeniable chinny chin chin and the fact that he crawls like other dragonkin and gains wings at 2nd phase like the nokstella dragonkin...

Freeing the world for a violently oppressive order is so terrible, you're so right. Godwyn was loved by the oppressive class, so the oppressed must've loved him too

😮🤭🤗

Ranni: ‘I would not be controlled by that THING’ makes so much more sense after Metyr. She definitely knew all along and I wish the DLC had a bit of dialogue of Ranni discussing this further.

Are you secretly LazyPeon?

Idk, Romina is still alive in the trailer, so the purge must not have targeted her, right? Look at her cape. Is it possible that she was actually on Messmer’s side but is kneeling in a state of deep regret at her part in the massacre? His soldiers stand behind her with casual poses as she is still armed and living, with her back turned, suggesting they’re not fighting, and maybe even that she’s their leader of some sort. And of course, she’s a Numen who maybe wouldn’t have been targeted by Marika anyway.

Queen Marika the Eternal is my favorite wanton strumpet

Don't forget you injure your "One Finger" to gain access to the blood grounds where you encounter the hornsent. Sounds to me like the blood mother is that first finger

Thank you for even daring to make this!! I’m not a ranni simp, so I don’t understand the blind worship of her. We all have our favourites but the fact anyone who voices that she is as bad as everyone else in the lore then that is just not allowed. Takes all the fun out of lore analysis if one character is considered a protected species.

Are you interested in a sponsorship? We sell gaming laptops bundled with Elden Ring and you do Elden Ring news and lore theory, so it might be a good fit. I've emailed you with further details.

The descriotion in japanese and a few other language makes it clearer that Gryoll is the mother of the modern dragons, not the 4 winged ancient dragons.

Miquella is basically Griffith from Berserk. His means of becoming a god do not justify his ends. He is manipulative and his love / kindness is all a facade.

This is going to be accurate to my personal Tarnished Lore. I don't feel like Melina and the Tarnished are a romantic pair, but Melina's prescence gives the Tarnished the same comforting feeling as the prerscence of one's mother. Hence the flame of frenzy to burn the Erdtree and spare Melina. And the arduous journey to restore Miquella's needle of unalloyed gold.

Was greyoll larger then granseax?

Succulent, Juicy, TASTY 👀🤤

my understanding has always been that the golden strand marika took was the physical manifestation of a great rune

I made this comment on a scum mage video as well but, the most likely reason for the mausoleum sound, undying abilities, and many things I can't fit in this comment, are due to the fact that we as the Tarnished are revived using Godwyns soul. Think about that while you're exploring the lands between again

Really enjoyed this one, look forward to future content

why the two drakes are fighting at the jagged peak ?
