Ohhhh yeah, half an hour of scrolling to find the perfect video to fall asleep to just became worth it

[@melbatoast6741]

I lucked out, it was my top video!

[@cigarettebutt8812]

Felt this

[@chrismcdonald4924]

I thought the same thing wooooo 5+ hours of bout a game I know nothing about and haven't gotten to play yet either but I have heard about the deep lore the series has I had to check out and I hit the jackpot with this video.

[@Dillpickle1997]

Facts. This scratches the itch in my brain, it's exactly what I was looking for.

[@jaidyncorporal4685]

Glad to know I’m not the only one

Great work! I hope you continue this for Shadow of the Erdtree

[@square-table-gaming]

We absolutely will, we still release episodes every Saturday

[@marystone860]

YAY! A new one of these, Thank You, Square Table Gaming! (added to Elden RIng Playlist!)

This is so good man. Luke the time spent making this the chill voice the depth of characters. I love you truly ❤

Almost an entire work shift to learn about all tarnished

[@travisf2240]

These are so good and I love how you splice in the actual game dialogue while telling the story

[@chrisbellville6957]

It really pissed me off there wasn't a way to be knighted by Kenneth and nepheli

[@impineapple5383]

You can though... If you finish the Kenneth and Nepheli questlines you can meet them in Stormviel Castle Throne Room, talking to Kenneth he'll let you know that you've been officially knighted.

[@chrisbellville6957]

@@impineapple5383 he kind of half asses it wheres the Armour / sword / ceremony ... and to my best memory he says he regrets not being able to knight you but your deeds are worthy of being knighted

these are perfect to fall asleep to thanks :p

[@kevinspilker6622]

Oh my god please release this in podcast format.

[@TolgaAtamtuerk]

You dont need to kill Istvan or other tarnished in order to progress. I ignored the volcano quests and still managed to get to Rykard without problems.

There is a backdoor way of reaching him, but you don't get the full story of the Volcano manor if you do

ahh yess a new dose of my sleeping pills, somehow just listening everysingle elden lore from you it always triggered a dream, and thank you for that my sleep isnt just blank til morning🙂

[@timbruyn6623]

I love your videos to fall asleep to. The content is great and the voice is so soothing! I was super excited when this video dropped. However, I first checked if the dung eater video is in here. I'm a light sleeper and occasionally get nightmares. I've had it with a previous video where the dung eaters screams woke me up in the middle of the night with adrenaline rushing through my body thinking someone was trying to murder me. Now I can't watch videos with dung eater segments to fall asleep to. It might be too much to ask, but for future videos, would it be possible to have a version without the screams? I don't think anybody is going to miss it and I would love to be able to listen to your content to fall asleep again!

[@square-table-gaming]

I will definitely keep this in mind if I need to to another compilation with dung eater. Maybe I'll retool the audio and cut the screams

[@timbruyn6623]

Thank you for replying to my comment! It's cool that you're reading this and responding. That sounds great!

[@afroize]

These are my fav!

[@IronRaydon]

Amazing listen, enjoyed it thoroughly. Although you miss named Old Albus as Pidia in the chapter about Gideon 😜

[@square-table-gaming]

Albus is not Pidia. Seluvis is Pidia

[@IronRaydon]

You misunderstood me. In the chapter about Gideon you say that you get the first half of the medallion from Pidia. ❤

[@mark.083]

Part of me wants this made into a game of thrones type series. But knowing how the witcher turned out the thought is also terrifying!

[@methodsocratic]

*CHALLENGE/SUGGESTION FOR FUTURE CONTENT* Short version: A deep dive into ER naming conventions; query: why is it that such a huge ratio of NPCs/characters/enemies/etc. have first names beginning with either "G," "M" or "R" as compared to other character name-groups? Longer-ish version & some insights for those of ya'll who don't do the TLDR thing: I have consumed a huge amount of ER YT content by many creators (your channel, while amazing, is very new to me), however, I've never played the game. Souls-games aren't my cup-o-tea, but I very likely will make an exception for this one at some point because RPGs absolutely are my jam, & I think this may be the best ever created. *disclaimer*: this overall question & many of my observations about it are obviously based on spellings I've seen both in-game & on ER's various Wikis; if any of those names are misspelled in the Wikis, or if I am misremembering any of them, some of my observations & insights may not be as accurate. By my count (a very cursory count, & because I haven't played ER myself, it's a not quite-informed count), ER has 10 characters named with "G" (I'm including Goldmask & the Gleam-Eyed Queen, because I think that's the only way they're identified), 13 with "M," including Millicent's sister Mary, & nine with "R." The next largest name-groups sorted by first character are around or less than half any of those numbers. I'm certainly not counting titles such as "Sorcerer" or "Sir" or "Preceptor," even though ER's various Wikis inaccurately sort some NPC names by title instead of name. So, why? Why those three letters so overwhelmingly? Possible related observations/insights: Many (most?) "M"-named characters are blood-related); Not including the Gloam-Eyed Queen, I'm fairly certain all characters with "G" names are biologically male, although that may be just a coincidence because most names beginning with that letter are already masculine; however, I don't think Miyazaki does "coincidence." He seems like a very, very intentional story-teller. Many, perhaps most, of both "M" & "G" names are strikingly (and confusingly) similar (Millicent-Malenia-Melina-Maliketh-etc). The pattern *seems* to be "M" followed by a vowel followed by "L." Likewise, there's Godrick-Godwyn-Godfrey-Godefroy-etc. I'm not so certain I see as many patterns with "R" names, although obviously many characters with "R" names are also blood or marriage-related. Other probably applicable, related & intertwining themes seem to be mother-offspring relationships (or parent-offspring relationships in general, such as Gowry claiming Millicent as his "daughter" even though obviously she is biologically not), spousal-relationships, & relationships ending with or damaged by or created by *very specifically* betrayal/manipulation/objectification. An example of that specific betrayal, even with side-quest characters Gowry & Millicent, Gowry encourages our Tarnished to betray & murder Millicent even though Gowry specifically claims Millicent as his daughter. This particular relationship, I think, is also a very pivotal one in that it underlines how important the parent-offspring theme is to Miyazaki because Miyazaki chooses to emphasize that relationship even when two characters are not actually blood-related. Some things I've wondered: Given that Fromsoftware is a Japanese studio, & MiyazakiI is obviously Japanese himself, I wonder if this overall question is completely invalid because perhaps the names were all originally written in Japanese, & therefore the spelling & patterns of the English-version names are not as straightforward or applicable at all; obviously I realize that the names are still phonetically the same, but I'm actually very curious, most curious, about why those specific English letters (G, M & R) were chosen. If they weren't the original letters because the original script was written in a non-Latin script alphabet, all bets are off, or rather, maybe the "bet" has changed to some kind of meaning with those phonetic consonant sounds instead of the specific Latin script letters G, M & R. Also, yah, I'm not certain this question of mine is lore-based at all lol. But y'all rock, I'm very impressed, entertained & informed by your content, & it seems maybe this topic could be up your alley. I'm certain that I've both not noticed & forgotten other likely-related themes & patterns in ER, but I'm also fairly certain that I didn't intend to be writing an essay when I started this comment, &, well...

[@crispybackwoods]

First thing that came to my mind was that George R.R Martin came up with all the names.

[@methodsocratic]

@@crispybackwoods hmm could be. Where I see his major influence is in all the betrayal & almost utter lack of any happy outcomes. I never considered whether GRRM may have contributed to naming conventions, but I have read most of his work & I don’t see any parallels in his Westeros universe regarding name-patterns. You could be right, most creation isn’t done in a vacuum so at the very least he probably helped with the odd name-themes. I’m more of the thought that is pure Miyazaki, though. I think it’s too subtle for GRRM. Martin is a good story teller, perhaps a great one, but he’s a mediocre writer (imo, obviously). *edit* ok you could def be on to something, I don’t know how I didn’t think of all the similar Targaryian names (Aemon, Aerys, Aegon, etc) How fucking dumb would it be if the actual answer to my overall question was that those letters repeated in so many names are just Martin’s initials? Fuck GRRM if that’s the actual truth.

Hey square table Gaming, it’s been some time Since your last “lore to relax to” video, so I’m wondering, are you gonna make another video around that length (14~ hours)? Maybe compiled of all your new lore videos? BTW, thanks for your hard work, and good video!

Yes there will! We'll hit 2 years this March and will be making another massive compilation with all of our videos from year 2. Either that or compile everything!

i still dislike the armor designs and frequency in which you find weapons and sets in this game ... souls did that way better imo...

[@square-table-gaming]

It's tough because that can be completely subjective to every individual person's playthrough. Nature of the open world design.

[@ADuBToR]

@@square-table-gaming i see where you're coming from, but also the ammount of times where you get fished with some junk item is also way worse i'd say ... maybe not in the way you get ''backstab fished'' comparatively but for example presented from afar with some obstacles to overcome and then its just trash [like not even an armor piece but just some consumable etc.]
