Death blight has thorns…. the tree strangling the shadow tree does not have thorns… likely not death blight.

Is the horse-riding creature with the big purple bead around its neck related to godskins? They have the same exact bead in their chest armor.

Messmer is possibly a former member of the Confessors Maybe being a Arch(arch can mean Leader) Confessor or A high ranking confessor that Discovered the truth of the Golden order and Betrayed it by adopting everything that went against the Golden order Other thoughts The bear might possibly be a Omen bear if we look at the lions which I call omen lions might be from the land of shadows but they’ve been abused, chained and starved we might see what they are supposed to look like in the shadow lands there is a chance that the golden order Attempted to capture and use the omen bears as beast of war but couldn’t cuz they are strong so they turned to the lions for use in war Essentially what I’m saying is that there are crucible beast in the shadow lands Such as bears Boars lions and much more creatures all having been touched by the crucible sprouting Horns and maybe other abilities As for the Jars if you look at the minor Erdtrees we see tons and tons of jars around it it’s very possible that the Erdtree avatars with their clubs Break open the jars that have filled themselves of the dead to Perform Erdtree burial with all the warriors and dead within the jars ofc you must use Hot ceramics and wax to create the jars soooo you need a “factory” to make them which was that area we see with the jars

That skeleton riding the horse is quite literally, i believe the horses own bones. The ball pn the tail bone with eyes is peobably a new enemy were getting that takes control of enemy corpses and uses their bones to control it

i just don’t see us dealing with godwyn in the dlc as a lot of ppl think we will. fromsoft usually surprises with their dlc and answers questions you didn’t really know you had sometimes. side quests in the base game usually aren’t revisited in the dlc either, i think miquella has some specific plan for himself much like Ranni, he’s entered this realm and like ranni has divested himself of everything she did before getting into her new body.

I think Miquela will end up being the same as Filianore or what ever her name was in Dark Souls 3 ringed city. A character keeping the illusion of the world in tact until we interact with her. The stories in from soft games always pull from one another and reuse concepts.

So, what we thinkin his great rune gonna do?

I hope you see this, no ones pointing it out- the ELDEN BEAST ring attack actually looks like it has the very top of the veils

Amazing video! I love your writing

4:25 i'd like to interject here really quick and point out that gravity isn't the only "element" that has a purpleish color theme going on for it. Sleep, also have a pinkish-purpleish hue to distinguish it and since this DLC focuses mainly on Miquella and St. Trina lore, i think it is more likely to be related to sleep than gravity... as a matter of fact, if you look closer at the footage, the hue does seem to be more pinkish than purple.

That boar knight is like dragon tree sentinal in main game

I haven't seen a single other person take note of it, but the twinblade with wing ash of war is the same twinblade used by the knight enemy in the martial arts showcase, take note of the rune-like markings on it in both shots. Since the player isn't holding a seal when using it, the knight doesn't seem crucible-related, and the weapon is used in the animation, I'm inclined to believe it's an equippable ash of war.

Great video bro subbed

What is the song in the outro? It’s so beautiful

Content deserves far above the level of recognition it is getting this is fire asf

Amazing video my guy!

Yeah, I can see why you didn't want ads interrupting the flow. It was a well constructed video. I am not sure if it was intentional or not, but the very brief segment regarding the podcast felt substantially more isolated and somewhat disconnected when compared with the rest of the video's narrative progression, not unlike a stop at a gas station you forget about one hour later on the road. Fitting I suppose. Also, I don't care how well you've sold the game. I am not adding ANOTHER weirdly charming game to my backlog.

amazing video

Great video, the visuals for the house section brought the video to a new level.

potentially emmy worthy. good stuff mostentire

banger video

Great video! I was invested the whole way and loved how interesting it was and yet how mysterious it felt. I also like the way you went through each segment in a completely different order which added more to the video. Once again, really good work!

This videos always excite me, just nice to listen to while I clean and toil away.

This is very fascinating and captivating, but one nagging question remains…try finger but hole?

*Promosm*

I wonder if we will have a sleep swamp? I also wonder if Messmer is responsible for the red spike in Marika's side, and if so, was it done as an assisted suicide or not?

The most obvious connection between death and the Crucible is that the Crucible symbolized the prior "complete" state of the Elden Ring, prior to Marika removing Destined Death from it & creating the Golden Order, becoming a god, and transforming the Crucible into the Erdtree (the precise sequence of these events is unclear).

17:04 i dont like that attack either lol

It's entirely possible that George Martin and Miyazaki just made shit up as they went along and PURPOSEFULLY left things infernally vague in order to encourage the kind of speculation and interpretation that has made Elden Ring more than a story/game but a cottage industry for content creating people like Mostenire and many many others.

I actually think the monster that you referred to as inspired by the Kelpie, is actually inspired by the nuckelavee! They are said to be undead, skinless horses with a human merged along the back of the horse. I think this fits much better than the Kelpie theory.

OH shit! The image of Mesmer in the Throne. The Snake coils around the Spear making "Miquella's Rune" at 33:45!

With all this talk about Mesmer being a Demigod working for the Golden Order and not Against it I wonder if He is like a "Hades" or a "Satan" figure in this world. Ruling over the things that have been casted out but being crucial to the order of things

I think Mesmer was born with some defect of sort and was stripped of the golden order like he said and went and practiced and studied these different arts to now go back and claim what he was stripped of

Messmer burned the eadtree and impaled Marika inside it. He is also Melina. Sorry for the spoiler

8:57 In my opinion it's a consumable; you can see the empty weapon scabbard as the weapon is being hidden during the consumable's animation.

Thank you for being one of the very few people that actually talked more about the game play side of the trailer instead of boring the entire fanbase to death with lore garbage.

Soooooo many similarities and references to dark souls and DS3.

Ive been thinking as well The land of shadow The lands between I wonder what the third land would be if not reeds

I imagine we’ll learn Marika and Radagon met in the lands of shadow during war and settled with marriage to end it and giving the lands eventually to their child, mesmer

Why does nobody think the sleeping lady IS st trina? Long hair is there and there could be a third eye (another outer god influence) Miquella is st trina Maybe but could be a red herring, maybe a follower of miquella who taught or got taught by trina

Morgott is truly one of my favourite Fromsoftware characters. This man’s ambition and purpose comes from his own self-loathe, and is used to drive his hypocritical stance on the idea of duty. It’s almost as if he’s aware he’s hypocritical, depending on one’s interpretation, but uses it as a coping mechanism. I think Elden Ring’s theme of the Ambition of Duty, and the effect of it, is most present within Morgott. Miyazaki and the Actor knocked his dialogue out of the park. This video really is one of the most concise and effective videos on the demigod. The detail of Morgott staining his sword with his accursed blood during his boss battle was unknown to me until today. Also. Yes. Morgott’s fantastic fight deserved a greater healthpool.

I took a chance with a smaller youtuber and you absolutely cooked up dude, really good discussion over margot at the end!! Keep up the great work!

At 27:43 the spell messmer uses creates the spears with the symbol you mentioned in the cover.. and they look just like the spears sticking out of the giants in the mountaintops... So the spear hes holding in the trailer doesnt match the cover photo, but the spell spears do... Just pointing that out lol. Someone prolly already did but its okay 😊 edited for typos cause youtube sucks now. Lol

banger after banger after banger

Your stuff deserves many more views and likes, it’s only a matter of time before you blow up

❤

Just occured to me that maybe the Land of Shadow acts the same as the Dreg Heap from Dark Souls 3. Maybe it is made up of places from the lands between that uses to exist in the same realm? I know its supposed to be its own area and not related to time travel (like previous dark souls titles), but the altus plateau area as well as the raya lucaria type area make me think this. Regardless, definitely think The Land of Shadow locations will have some connection to nearby areas and landmarks on the other map "levels" EDIT: Unrelated, but that Lion figure seems like it has worm faces beneath. The smoke doesn't have the parasites like usual, but this is in a separate realm. Interesting that they have feet like Morgott, hinting that they are actually Omen. Can't wait to dive into the DLC EDIT2: i had seen a comment on another video where someone suggested that the dialouge that plays over Messmer scene in the trailer isnt Messmer speaking, but Miquella. I could see FromSoft trying to mislead us

Is this how manga readers feel when they watch the anime adaptation? We are also 3/3 on the sexy meter. Well done. It was a wonderful video on one of my favorite fictional characters.
