[@killerbean494]

@@brandan5708 Why are Elden Ring fans so defensive of the game? I don't mean that in a rude way, I just notice whenever someone says they dislike something about the game it's always followed up by someone disagreeing with them (or telling them to "git gud" or something of that variant). You can get mad at me if you want, but I'm just saying an observation.

[@BirdMoose]

The fact that the spirit calling snail has a grab attack makes me wonder if anyone killed the two godskins with minimal health and then died while gloating over the defenseless snail lol.

[@rafsandomierz5313]

The Elden beast grab has pretty cool lore implications on why Marika is crucified in the Erd tree, I think it's just Glden order's overall punishment for those who are against the Greater will and probably did unimaginable things that are heavily punished by the golden order, therefore you can see a lot of crucified people in Limgrave the same way as Marika.

[@angrywizard3199]

It seems that godhood is something of a prison, causing one to become basically a vessel for an outer god. I think Marika's banishing of Godfrey and his warriors, her "splitting" (potentially) into Radagon, and shattering of the Ring were all attempts to escape from the Greater Will. Once she did shatter the Ring, the Will crucified her in punishment.

That happened to me the very first time he entered his 2nd phase, as he starts the phase with this charge attack and grabs you.
