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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@matthewthehuman1744]

God I swear whenever you start talking, my heart rate just drops like 30bpm. You're so soothing.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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!

[@adamteeee]

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

[@haruhas7604]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@yayab6378]

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

[@Kirbystarallies6434]

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

[@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

[@nuckle5525]

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

[@ABrickinTime]

Would definitely love more of the Carians and Rennala.

[@seaningram7228]

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

[@___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

[@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 :)

[@StankyWanky420]

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

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@axelunder472]

your voice is pretty relaxing I'd watch video essays just to keep listening to it

[@williamburke9153]

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

[@FriedrichVonSpietz]

Your voice is soooo soothing. I could watch hour long videos tbh

[@josephprins1258]

You have a perfect voice for this. Keep it up. Also this lore is easy to miss while playing.

[@TiredTom67]

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

[@enixraghunath703]

I love this! The way you read is really engaging

[@ariberth5323]

As always amazing! Can't wait for more vids and see you on stream! :)

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you! And yes! I can't wait to stream more too!

[@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

[@pingu8015]

good job! looking forward to more content, good to see more brit Souls youtubers!

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you so much! Represent!

[@bobboberson6664]

My wife and I love your videos. Your voice is super relaxing.

[@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.

[@Ebolanation]

Cannot wait for the vaatividya collab. It has to happen. You are so calming to listen to.

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you so much :(((((( Honestly, that's such a dream for me. We shall see! I'm pleased to hear you enjoy listening to my voice!

[@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!

[@simplylucky20]

I enjoyed the video, may your channel grow to the moon!

[@triangleDAYS]

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

[@DudeWerewolf]

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

[@rmckey09]

Fantastic. So excited to watch all your videos!

[@PumkinRue]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@yvesarmenta5257]

That was great, definitely earned a follow

[@miss_chalice]

Wow thank you so much, appreciate you following me!

[@arunaluheshitha8462]

A sinister and odd fight. I loved it.

[@Spociate]

You're voice is so amazing and relaxing 😫Super video ❤️

[@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

[@BerryCran420]

Wow! Fought her with the lads last night, awesome lore video!

[@evanoliveras3771]

Incredible! So easy to listen to and comprehend, thanks so much

[@matrin0x419]

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

[@coraline2770]

I’ve almost beat the game and am loving these lore videos!

[@joshuawheat5423]

Genuinely so enjoyable

[@miss_chalice]

So happy to hear this, thank you!

[@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

[@ponchacho]

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

[@loldonnuts]

Incredibly well done! You have an amazing voice for videos.

[@kanelozano625]

Keep up the lore. Love it

[@miss_chalice]

I shall do! Thank you :)

[@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 🥺)

[@Reza-hz1ce]

Yeah, please do more of those, this was awesome

[@dominiclane8538]

This has too be one of the most insane boss fight I have ever experienced in any game , it was just madness

[@dbzfreak25rises86]

This was great. Loving the lore vids.

[@GoAgainGaming]

Welcome to KZbin Chalice 😀

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you Azz! Great to be here!

Just completed this battle, thanks for your though explanation!

[@patrickreijo]

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

[@jorgefernandezcordon7614]

Amazing video, very well explained. Great research underneath the video I bet.

[@Ripley555]

Sharing out your channel. These are so great and you have the perfect voice. Keep it up!

[@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...

[@Josh-xd7jc]

Woah your videos are amazing ! Well done :)

[@Qutoe]

This is awesome!! You‘re like the female version of Vaati! Keep doing what you‘re doing 😄

[@alejohp8725]

Amazing video. I’ll keep coming back!

[@Morteih]

Ayyyyy. Great explanation!

I love this def need more lore videos

[@Simon-vt1zp]

Really enjoyed this, hope you do loads more 🙏

[@fritschxf]

Amazing lore video!! So happy I clicked on this..Keep up the good work 😊

[@ItsPigeMedia]

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

[@notbadforanoob8725]

Honestly, really great first video. You've obviously improved and put more time into the videos now, but this was still great.

[@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!

[@willowm2803]

Fantastic video!!

super sad this fight, hit me in the feels

[@Greed-z1v]

Love the videos keep up the great work👍

[@JK-ru5vo]

I feel like ranni killed herself, rennala Thus got obssessed with rebirth, radagon felt ignored and probably could not cheer rennala up hence him leaving her

[@RedZoneRogue]

Great video Chalice! Also Ranni best waifu don't @ me.

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you Kel!!! (I agree ahaha)

[@maxmoto2736]

This is a really cool video

[@Nope-ity-nope-nope]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@dylangriffith3644]

I could watch a million of these! Can’t wait for you to do more :)

[@thezestfall1st107]

New lore nerd to watch?!? Let’s gooooo

[@miss_chalice]

Hope you like! Next time, I'd like to make the video a bit longer :)

[@rotaryz3335]

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.

[@miss_chalice]

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 :)

[@bradr.865]

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!

[@ryuuaiya9016]

I wonder if she was obsessed with rebirth because she was trying to find a way to separate Radagon from Marika. I am sure she knew about their true identities.
