All the details of Rennala's Boss Fight | Elden Ring Lore

[@NicoNeko107]

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.

[@mantidream8179]

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.

[@GodofStories]

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

[@Voxcast07]

I was wicked overleled so I killed her almost immediately in the second stage lol

[@lucciadelmoira1487]

when she opened her eyes and I saw the steely resolve in them I got chills

[@azzy6543]

Isn't it actually Ranni using magic to transform or summon Rennala to her peak form ?

[@TheBackupUp]

@@azzy6543Ranni was just imitating however much she could of what her mother used to be.

[@r3gret2079]

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.

[@antrimbull9801]

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

[@coraline2770]

I also love the second phase shows how strong Ranni really is

[@alexandercardenas9161]

Please keep making lore vids, that was incredible!

[@miss_chalice]

Wow thank you so much! I am already working on another :)

[@Thalidal]

@@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]

​@@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.

[@Islamic-v7y]

Fax lore video just posted is good more content is nice with future videos

[@abhitejvelore]

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.

[@Derkfett]

Absolutely fantastic! I can't wait for more of these. I hope they get longer and more in depth!

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you! I would love to make longer videos, I will aim for that next time :)

[@woutert114]

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.

[@Chessheromusic]

Blaidd calls darriwell a traitor Darriwell might have been in service ranni

[@knockout7302]

@@Chessheromusic yes!!

[@knockout7302]

You are crazy

[@Chessheromusic]

@@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

[@knockout7302]

@@Chessheromusic BRO YOU BRAINFXCKED ME BUT IN A GOOD WAY WTF MAN THIS SOUNDS CRAZY YOU JUST HYPED ME UP EVEN MORE

[@kenanperez3151]

I love this video so much! The extensive analysis of the environment and all! I also wanna point out that I think Rennala herself can use summoning magic. Greatblade Phalanx states that the trolls/giants were sworn to Rennala by an oath.

[@asgart16]

Really interesting lore. While fighting her, I didn't really put the pieces between Rennala and Ranni together. Great video!

[@Simone-bc2fo]

I have been considering playing this game for a while. This video might just be the final push I needed. That second phase of the boss fight looks absolutely incredible, and the lore behind it is even better.

[@adamteeee]

This was epic! I completely missed that being Ranni's voice during the phase transition and it changes everything. How poetic 😭

[@unbelievablytrash9458]

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.

[@ABrickinTime]

Would definitely love more of the Carians and Rennala.

[@haruhas7604]

Bro this was a master piece everything was so clear and you explained it soo well . Definitely gonna be waiting for more.

[@metahelix]

Honestly played the game without understanding or caring about the lore but watching you describe it has made me love the game so much more 🥰 thank you

[@darkhobo]

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.

[@aranthur]

Love the video! And love Rennala too actually. Of all the main bosses, I'm glad she's the one we get to spare, no matter what

[@___02___]

KILLING it with the lore videos and ur voice is so perfect and soothing GIVE US MORE! 😩

[@miss_chalice]

So kind, thank you very much! I will try and keep it calming haha :D

[@StankyWanky420]

I really love you’re lore bud about her! You explained everything very well and made us simple! Thank you!!

[@aggrostomp941]

This video was amazing. I missed quite a bit just literally being caught up in the boss fight. Loved it, thank you for this gem ❤

[@daniebelle22]

holy hell ty. been racking my brain trying to understand what exactly was going on in this fight. beautiful fight, and prolly my fav boss arena ever in phase 2.

[@aquelesousa]

Oh my god, 123 hours into the game, I only got to "Mountaintop" just now ('cause I'm doing 100% of the game, I only go to the next area if i finished everything in the previous one) and JUST NOW i realized: "That's why the summons are so ~player like~". 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.

[@Kirbystarallies6434]

Great video that clarified so much about this cinematic fight! Well done!

[@seaningram7228]

This is good insight/narrative. Best elden ring lore video I’ve found

[@yayab6378]

thanks that was so sad, i feel bad for her great vid!

[@williamburke9153]

You're the only video I could find explaining this.

[@nuckle5525]

Please keep making these I can watch these all day.. You have such an amazing voice !

[@TheRealSindri]

That Viridian Amber Medallion is one out of a set of Amber Medallions, each with its own color of sap and corresponding Stat effect, though they all have the same part in their description about this sap being from the Erdtree. Just pointing out that The Viridian Amber Medallion i's just not the only one with that description.

[@MrBedZeppelin]

Well Done! Welcome! Your Lore delivery is very good. As a partially disabled person, loud talking disturbs me. Your calming easy-to-understand voice/technique works very well. Thank You for taking the plunge into KZbin and really watch yourself and try not to share too much, of your personal life, on the channel, as with much of social media some people are complete asses. "An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure" as Benjamin Franklin once quoted. Have Fun!

[@retromurdok]

Rennala's story is so sad. I just watched your Vyke video, it's always good to have new people's interpretations of the lore.

[@DudeWerewolf]

Wonderful video, and great analysis and perspective. Love Rennala, her story hits so hard. 🙏

[@worddokument]

Great Info, relaxing tone of voice! Exactly what i need when i want to relax. Seriously, Elden Ring is such a complex game packed with mystery and therefore its really fun to dig into the lore. Great video :)

[@rondotrucking9866]

Jesus very well explained, I just finished this fight and was so blown away by the beauty of it that I went looking for other people’s thoughts of it on KZbin lol. This is my first fromsoftware game and I initially quit when I bought it. Then I couldn’t find one bad review on it, and after recently hearing it is nominated as possible game of the year I decided to give it another try and man am I glad I did

[@jnm92]

Every fromsoft fan has had that bounce off moment at the beginning and then something clicks. Glad you ended up enjoying the game!

[@enixraghunath703]

I love this! The way you read is really engaging

[@triangleDAYS]

thankyou so much for explaining this! i was so confused during the fight about what was happening!

[@efrainrosales1684]

Omg great video when I ended the battle I was a little confused and your video is just perfect ❤️ I will see more of your content as I advance through the game

[@axelunder472]

A sinister and odd fight. I loved it.

Uhg I've been starving for lore videos. I cant wait to see more!

[@Blankcatboy]

THIS IS GREAT 😁💖 Your breakdown of the whole fight and lore was absolutely amazing, I've learnt so much from this. Please please please do more! (And maybe if there was ever the slimmest chance of you playing Returnal, the storyline is super deep and vague like this one. The bosses relate to the story and are so so pretty to watch. You'd be so good at appreciating and translating all of the details/story 🥺)

[@rmckey09]

Fantastic. So excited to watch all your videos!

[@greatrulo]

I absolutely loved this video! I only just finished this boss fight and wanted some lore behind it, not only you delivered but your voice is quite ASMR, reminds me of a more personal style on vaatyvidya's videos.

[@PumkinRue]

This is so interesting! I love learning the lore before I play, because it attaches me to the characters.

[@mizzyVkatz]

It was only through your video that I realized something new about Rennala… I keep couldn’t figuring out why she has no legs. And then it occurred to me that if she’s attempting rebirth constantly, that would definitely not be easy on the lower half of her body at all… this is a great lore video! Thank you!!!

[@zaneomega2]

Rennala does have legs, you can see them during phase 1 when she falls down

[@mr.e2643]

The other aspect to the larval tears and infact everything to do with mimics and albinaurics is that the silver is a reference to mercury and alchemical processes, which makes alot of sense that it lets you respec or begin the work from a new starting point...idk it makes sense to me...

[@ponchacho]

Great lore videos, I’m too lazy to read all the items descriptions for the lore….keep them coming!

This is awesome, I’ve been looking for someone to cover more lore in Elden Ring. Your voice is very soothing as well. 👍

[@sunsp.t]

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.

[@freazeezy]

Theyre not the only ones dying of no-legs disease. There are a few characters who lose their legs. Rogier, the fire giant, Malenia

Always when i fight rennala im like snap out rennala my goddess sbap out we need u

[@donnerrizza5104]

Rennala, reminds me of the song from indica Rannalla, a woman that see her loved one go, and she awaits for him, at the shore, rannalla is shore or beach in finnish, and with the tough of rennala being so close at the sea of stars, i don't now, maybe that's the origin of her name

[@Darien2016]

I knew we weren't actually fighting renella. I touched on it thinking we might actually be fighting Ranni herself only she's controlling her mother or its either a clone of renalla herself. Too much just happens in that fight. She flat out introduces herself as ranni the witch even then calls you a foul tarnished and says you wont disturb mother's rich slumber in ranni's voice. But I think the illusion idea works out better in that way though. 🤔 The only thing that throws me off from the ranni or clone idea is her last few lines of dialog when she says "Oh my daughter Ranni bring forth your night" in her own voice so I honestly don't know lol.

[@patrickreijo]

Please. I need more. Your voice is so soothing. Please. Lol

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you Azz! Great to be here!

[@daniellevitz5259]

Very good video. I hope you do more. I do think, especially with the larval tear's appearance, that a lot of her motivation is holdovers from themes in Bloodborne, of birth, and loss.

[@miss_chalice]

That's so interesting to know! After looking into it, I realised that in DS3 you can "rebirth" using Rosaria who is surrounded by larva/worms as well!

[@ItsPigeMedia]

Yus!!! Loved it on Tik Tok loved it here !! More please

[@AutismGaming489]

I didn’t piece together that the larval tear is a placenta until now. To me, considering its name, the larval tear resembled an embryo.

[@Storm_280]

I have a challenge for you. ASTEL. I’ve even given you a theory to start it off with: the “void” is the definition of Space for that time. Astel could be an ALIEN for all we know. Plus the wing of astel sword has a skill called “nebula” *DING* *DING+ *DING*

[@TheAstrobiologistOW]

[@jennaherman3859]

Everyone Misses one part of Rennala's opening speech to us or that we overhear. Rennala was given the Amber Egg as he left to rejoin with Marika in leyndel this we all know, its in every lore video of the pair. but in her opening cutscene speech we hear her Speak of little Culver, and how this person wishes to be born anew or that Rennala wishes to rebirth them Anew. Who is little Culver? well im guessing but this is Radagon and Rennala's 4th child who died during childbirth just before Radagon left to rejoin Marika. little Culver would be Ranni's little brother (with a name like Culver i can't see the child being female)and while we have no mention of the Child in any item description, just this one line of Rennala's we can gather a few things. 1: Culver was stillborn; Stillborn babies are nothing new of course but they can have a profound impact on the mental faculties of their parents. many REAL WORLD mothers who have a stillborn child often suffer severe depression, even at the detriment of their older children. in modern times this results in either lots of therapy for the mother or even the whole family, or the mother often shutting down mentally and having some kind of mental breakdown. 2: Stillborn Babies are hard on families; Even if they have older children a stillbirth can damage a couples relationship without help. In this case Rennala losing the baby caused her to have a mental breakdown and Radagon while he may have still loved her may have seen her as a loving mother he knew that losing the baby broke her and he could not help her except to give her the Rune of Rebirth. 3: the Rune of the Unborn; what is the Rune of the Unborn, this is NOT Rennala's as Radagon gave her the Rune of Rebirth, well Ranni Conjured an Illusion of Rennala at her Full power before the death of little Culver and possibly even Before her marriage to Radagon. but with the Knowledge of the Child Culver who was at the least a stillborn, or maybe even a miscarriage (both are historically classified as "Unborn" perhaps the Illusion Ranni conjures somehow calls upon Culvers Rune to make it more real and deadly, thus we gain the Unborn Carian Child Culvers Rune of the Unborn and NOT Rennala's Rune of Rebirth (both having been housed within the amber egg), and thus Rennala will never perfect the Rebirth of her lost Culver because we are now in possession of the Rune which would allow him to be Reborn Healthy. I Love the Rennala fight, it's one of my Favorite Boss Fights in the game, though phase 1 is a bit of a tedious thing, that phase 2 is just Wonderful. and to get to see Rennala in all her Former Glory we can see why Caria was able to Fight the Golden order to a standstill.

[@igoriksanov9539]

Thank you so much for posting this! I follow the lore pretty closely in this game but had to leave home for almost a month. This was a great refresh of some earlier game events that got a little fuzzy while I was away.. I do have a question, if you don't mind. After flipping the study hall to reach the top of the Liurnia tower I found a corpse. The corpse gave me some items but I can't remember what they were or their descriptions. I sort of recall it being a piece of someone's flesh but I could be way off. Do you know what the items were and whose corpse that was?
