I am so late to the party! I believe Rennala never could have children. Radagon used his great rune and the egg to have children "with" her. She accepts them as her own. But they are completely Radagons children. That's why they look nothing like Rennala. They each have red hair like their father. More importantly, this explains why Ranni is an imperian. She is born of a single god, Radagon, not Rennala. He used her to have more demigod children and to stop the devastating wars. She holds so tight to that egg be that's how she had her three children with Radagon. Her "children" now can only come about through reincarnation, not true birth. The great rune of the unborn was made for Radagon to make more demigods. Once he was done, he left the egg as he didn't need it. And went on to make more demigos as 2nd Elden Lord. Just a theory

Whether it's her breaking oath or a way to show that revenge may not always be as delicious as it seems...my dame Aylin is safe cuz that trashbag was deleted by me right after our first convo w him happened and then i told Aylin that there was a Cetheric 2.0 but it's all good cuz he's no more. Aylin and Isobel had been through enough shit, I'm not letting anyone touch either-.-

Anyone ever noticed that the thing Marika's hammer rests upon is a tree stump? Yeah lets ignore certain cultures that engaged in firstborn sacrifices on a tree stump 🤷

I left him alone at the tower when I got the ring… because I didn’t have potions to do another battle… I don’t know if I did well (Maybe in another playthrough I’ll kill him)

That’s what she said haha ha

So what does all this imply about the “ war unseen “ line in the latest DLC trailer? What if it is literal? I know Mesmer had at least one eye. Which makes me think of the saying “ In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. “.

I'd literally give her my own heart so she could stay out of Avernus.

F*ck

Honestly criminal you don’t have more subs. You put so much work into this channel. I love it so much.

The Stasi have nothing on the Greater Will's surveillance methods.

1:12 it says "obscurded" instead of obscured

I love how so many of the instructions are “I know it’s really tempting but don’t beat his ass”

you can completely mess this up by killing the rats before the shar guantlet

A -> B =/= B -> A. Am empyrean doesn't HAVE to be born of a single god

Miquellas tree arm is also withered..... he's a tree now. Like marika was. It's why the art work of her in front of the tree was released imo If he was in the tree would explain why malenia is sitting there looking up at his tree form, and why she not out looking for him

Literally did this part yesterday (first play through) and I remember seeing him but I don’t think I ever interacted with him

The way his voice wavers and is all breathy is CRAZYYYY

I think the body Mohg collected from the Haligtree was a false one. Miquella has some history with the Albinaurics, their primary protector Loretta serves the Haligtree, there are cocooned Albinaurics within the Haligtree itself and there are Albinauric wolf riders protecting the entrance. After studying the Albinaurics, he could've created a mimic that's purpose would be to lure out Mohg, the shard-bearer who up to that point remained hidden; granting the Tarnished an opportunity to obtain that shard of the Elden Ring, have a realm full of blood to grow a new Erdtree in and restore Caelid, and transport the Tarnished to the Land of Shadow. This is the reason I think Miyazaki said it had relation to Miquella, but wasn't him.

You should consider that Miquella's power to bewitch others is why the soldiers explode themselves. Only lowly footsoliders do this, not the more equipped soldiers or Knights. Miquella views them as more disposable, so he "programmed" them to self-destruct, making them more valuable and formidable as an army, dismissing them as individuals. With the exception of Cleanrot Knights, all the Haligtree forces have a band of what appears to be unalloyed gold around their helmets. Around their heads, their brains, their minds. This could be one way Miquella compels people to become his followers.

Just to clarify, incantations and *sorcereries* both fall under the category of "spells". It's a little confusing because of the gameplay different of Faith and Intelligence. All are Spells, but things you cast with a staff are sorcerery.

Outside of Jaheria and hope I wished she was romantic option she is too extreme

“Ye broke yer oath, lass. If ye wanna reclaim et, ye’ll need te buy me a few pients first. Only the hard stuff, lass” -O’thbreaker

How do you even get this scene?

Man I didnt even realized he felt this way I just killed him as just someone else in the fight

I suspect that these events were, on some level, part of Miquella's plan all along. And just as Ranni took actions to change her fate (by killing her brother among other things), I think Miquella has done the same and the Amber Starlight Shard is his discarded fate.

I really enjoyed your theories. The eyes being full of grace makes so much sense. The dragon communion startes to change the tarnished. The only way to tell though... are the eyes. Maybe having the eyes changed makes it where the greater will cannot use the tarnished as they wished.

Everyone knows Runes are stored in the balls.

*yawn* your tone is great for sleep, as is your regurgitated subject matter

This is a really fun idea since the astrologers are very early in the story really nice connection this makes You got tons of people here who disagree with their misquoted lore tho

My tav is a sassy high elf and whenever I have SH and Astarion in my party, they give off elven Mean Girls vibes

Loved the video, over the last 6 months my view of the motifs in Elden Ring have sculpted cohesively into my own interpreted fictional analog for so many core historical & philosophical quandries, which was certainly by design. The potential for individual personalized extrapolation to each of the higher level abstract divisions such as metaphysical, ontological, existentialism and epistemological have been fascinating, if this was 10 years ago, I would have probably written on it for every Philo paper I had the freedom to explore literary subject. Eyes are fallible faculties, even in real life where their perception range is abysmally finite in scope of known electromagnetic radiation and even then further limited by chromaticism (colour blindness) vision acuity and cognitive processing. We consider them a raw premiere tool of perceptive utility when in truth as we understand it they are a blatantly restrictive funnel filtering out 99% of all there may be into 300 nanometers of wave length , 3 cones of color and a perhaps even a few dimensions. They are incredibly restrictive and bottlenecked in the scope of true objective nature and objective reality of such exists. Just some epistemology 101. Now in elden ring, it's even easier to make an abstract extrapolation to how eyes are functionally restrictive to knowing what is truly contained within reality, when you consider breaking suspension of disbelief and remembering at its core, a binary summation of 0 & 1. Just as one value in code changes visible attribute from true to false this runs through an interpretor and at the source, resides as a 0 instead of 1. That's it. So since eyes can't perceive this meta source or form of objective reality you can see how they serve less to see truth and reality and more as exploitable hijacked antennas/receivers being useless to see what is there and essentially often man in the middle attacked to deceive and manipulate you. Why do you need to see, when the world isn't made up of textures and assets fundamentally, but binary octets you can't visually observe through the eyes, anyway. In Elden Ring, occular vision of the eye variety serve only as tools to manipulate and deceive one into deluding their notion of perceived reality, not means to the objective end. Thus by removing them you will be closer to gnosis, as the loss of true info is outweighed by the loss of fallible, false hypothetical potential. Addition by subtraction.

You clearly put so much work into the research and creation of these videos and they never disappoint. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the DLC!
