Elden Ring - All Melina Dialogues

[@OSW]

9:16 Crazy hearing Melina talking about BOC, all of her dialogue it's Marika this, burn that...but she has time for this ONE NPC. Someone should tell Boc, it'll make him smile.

[@ramsesespinoza639]

Melina is in spirit form, she is not seen by Boc or anyone actually none ever acknowledges her, not even Shibrari, he knows you have a maiden yet but is an assumption, since you've made it this far, but never names her or refers to her directly, you are the only one to see her

[@dinorex3464]

Her voice actress deserves all the possible recognition. The way she speaks the lines before the Three Fingers is haunting.

[@Not_Aaron_]

Yeah, she honestly sounds desperate when she's talking about it, she rarther would want to die and make you the elden lord rather than you saving her. When you do take part of the frenzied flame she sounds demlished like her purpose of life is gone. When I heard Shabiri talking about the fact you could save melina I already had a feeling that's not what Melina would want herself.

[@King_WhiteWolf]

That's because it's extremely important dialogue, with regards to the Elden Ring and Order. Think about what those words mean, which she said. With different words, she asked you to describe what? Your thoughts, ambitions, and principles. An "ideology" if one "wills". Which one could rightfully describe also as a "vision", of Order. As the Golden Order is the vision of Order "transcribed" as it were, onto the Elden Ring, and made manifest within the Lands Between.

[@alexb.3065]

There's one you may have missed after you venture into the Mountaintops of the Giants. When you visit Roundtable Hold and speak with Enia about burning the Erdtree, she tells you that the flame needs sufficient kindling. Presumably at the next grace you sit at past the Elden Throne, Melina appears and says "do not worry about the kindling, all you need is to make the journey".

‭‭ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

I think there is one missing where if you ask the finger maiden how to burn the erdtree she will tell you that it needs a sacrifice. After that Melina pops up and says she will act as the kindling.

[@43drak]

Actually there's another one missing, if you accepted her help from the get go there's 3 conversations you can have but must be done before entering stormveil castle. The third talks about her searching for her purpose and being sorry for not providing guidance. So what I did was the first one (where u get Torrent) at Gatefront ruins, the second at Stormhill shack, and the third in the tunnel before entering Stormveil castle.

[@FF-ch9nr]

Another one missing: going to one of Boc’s spot after giving him the sewing needle and before reaching Altus, she talks about how Boc looks up to us and how he would appreciate it if we talked to him once in a while

[@winky4375]

A slight addition to this: if you talk to her twice after beating mogh, she says herself “I shall see to the kindling. It is a purpose which I choose to fulfill. So please, leave the frenzied flame alone.” Her saying this actually convinced me to not try and inherit the flame just to save her, since I didn’t want to deny her something she wanted to do so bad.

[@vavakxnonexus]

For sure - Marika/Radagon is extremely hard to get a grasp on at the best of times. One more thing to consider is D (& D's brother), who are described as being one soul in two bodies, welcomed by the Golden Order when they were spurned by most others. They feel like a telling parallel, and a shared soul would help explain stuff like both halves having separate ancestry (Radagon has Fire Giants ancestry & angst over his red hair; Marika is a Numen) and histories up to their joining. Then again, their bodies end up fused, and that didn't seem to help much either, so who knows.

[@henryteo82]

So... Something happened to her making her unable to ascertain her own purpose, showing there is a gap in her own memories. But at the same time, she knew she was born at the foot of the Erdtree, and she knew her mother was within It. At the capital, she went galivanting about and when she returned, she knew her purpose and realised we have to burn the Erdtree. I surmise that Melina's mother was Malika, and Melina knew Malika was within the Erdtree as they were synonymous with one another (Malika = Elden Ring and Erdtree = Elden Ring), but she did not anticipate there being brambles preventing access to the Queen. She then realised that Malika was now effectively a prisoner of the Greater Will within the Erdtree, and there would be no recourse to the current breaking down of Order as there cannot be a new Elden Lord to restore Order unless they were able to meet with Malika. By our various escapades in the Churches of Malika, she deduced the natural enemy of the Erdtree was the eternal flame of the giants, and in Malika's own words she encouraged all her offspring to define their own purposes, so Melina decided she would free her mother by using the eternal flame of the giants. Now, she might have known there was a difference between the giants' flame and the frenzied flames or the three fingers, as she bears the mark of three fingers on her eye and burn marks, there was a possibility she had encountered it before and knew its true nature, and the consequences of using it. It would be detrimental to her goal of saving Mother, should She perish at the same time when frenzied flames were used. As this was what happened during the frenzied flame ending, her dialogue at her final appearance probably forewarned she would then be taking revenge for the death of her Mother at the hands of the MC, rather than the lives of the masses that she had used to appeal against the MC's decision of using the frenzied flame. If Melina were truely the daughter of Malika, who, then, was her father? If we were to follow naming conventions then it would not be Godfrey but Radagon, thus making Melina an Empyrean as well. But Radagon's Empyrean offspring all had cursed afflictions, maybe Melina also had a hidden curse she struggled to live with which explains her readiness to sacrifice herself in order to free Malika from the Erdtree.

[@Asriel_Cypher]

Hmm... What if Melina was the other personality, of Lady Ranni? Marika's daughter. Marika had a split personality or a separate being within the same body. Radagon. What if Lady Ranni also had that same effect? Perhaps that was the reason, that Lady Ranni had a death, that is oddly different. She shed her flesh but how? She committed suicide. Yet, only her body, died. While her soul, lives on. Perhaps once their flesh is gone, Lady Ranni as well as Melina, does not need to embody within one single being. As Melina, only appears, when we are at a Site of Grace. Where her connection, to the tree, by the Grace, are the strongest.

@@VCR8883 Hahaha. That is very much true. It's just that I thought Ranni's other half face, the spiritual one, looked a lot like Melina. They both have the same short hair as well.

[@buffoonustroglodytus4688]

GUYS, what if, and hear me out, melina IS marika? The whole «radagon is marika» is a red herring plot twist cuz no one gives a fuck about that but melina? Think about it fellas. When we find marika she a stone cold bitch, literally. She’s like an empty husk, a stone statue, marika no longer inhabits the bakery. That’s why radagon is able to take over and whoop your ass. But melina? She’s marika’s soul, or at least a part of it. She’s burned and bodiless, and was given a purpose by her mother, but she choses her own path. She knows all about the frenzied flame, so maybe her original purpose was to inherit the frenzy flame? Listen to this mfs, who knows what marika’s will actually is? She tasked hewg to make a weapon to kill a god (elden beast, her master) she shattered the elden ring, the very foundation of existence, starting a great war, and diddly doo. Maybe the bitch is just fuckin crazy and wants to end it all? Destroy everything? But then melina who is like her soul but she’s forgotten the teason for doing all this shit so with a clearer mind not burdened by heartbreak n all the other baggage decides that life is the shit and she’d rather burn herself for the sake of the world than to burn the world for the sake of herself??

Not to mention the fact the area with the seal for the lift of Dectus is in an area more difficult than the areas leading to the capital, which makes no sense at all. Basically they are terrible at quest progression design, but oh well, who cares if things are ruined or spoiled right?

[@definitelynotdoge1436]

was waiting for this

[@zora508]

I love how people complain that she isn't in the game but she has the most amount of Dialogue in a fromsoftware game 24 minutes is insane and this guy also missed a couple of them so it’s probably 27 minutes

[@codafett]

And yet her ending still feels like cut content

[@subject_of_ymir]

10:39 this is one that touched me. It's Marika talking to her children. " ...... My children beloved. "

Proceeds to tell her “beloved” that if they don’t strive to be warlords and conquerors like mommy, she’s gonna throw them to the wayside.

Just went and inherited the frenzied flame. The way you can hear her usually monotone and emotionless (not in a bad way btw, since it's the point of the character) voice start to break and be filled with fear and desperation is heartbreaking. The fact that even Melina, who is perhaps the most closed-off individual in all of the Lands Between, is this scared and desperate really goes to show how terrible the Flame of Frenzy really is.

[@v00idless72]

With the dialog at the end of the video she goes full John Wick.

she was my favorite part of the game

She and malenia are literally the only reason i play this game. She best girl . And her voice is legendary

[@Xepato]

There's a piece of dialogue where she talks about herself near the beginning of the game that you missed. It starts off with "Me?" But I don't remember the rest or the specific requirements to get that piece of dialogue.

[@buffoonustroglodytus4688]

«Me? Who me? I never smoke. Once ina blue moon I does» -Melina, about herself

[@Ardithel]

Yeah, I was looking for this one as well. The WIki has it as the following: "Me, I'm searching for my purpose given to me by my mother inside the Erdtree long ago, for the reason that I yet live, burned and bodyless. "There is something for which I must apologize. I've acted the finger maiden yet I can offer no guidance, I am no maiden. My purpose was long ago lost..." I'm not sure this is 100% correct, though, as I thought it was "burdened and bodiless" and is actually the reason I came here, to see if someone recorded it

[@Ardithel]

Found a recording, it is "burned" You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmOpg6OMbrClobs

Strange that she knows all of Marikas words. Almost like shes a shadow or a clone of Marika that was created by her.

I still wonder about her hair colour. Is she really having the complex appearance of marika and radagon in her. Then her having black hair could be the actual gloam eyed true form. It’s still interesting.

19:45 Melina's thoughts on Roe Vs Wade

[@GamesfromMarsYT]

lol

[@Journeyagain0]

I didn't know there was this much dialogue from Melina in this game.

[@NotlostMoon]

Her speech in the Queen's Chamber is honestly a large part of how I've formulated my theory/idea about Radagon and Marika. 13:18 (I am fully aware of the Rebis) I should also note it's more working knowledge than full theory, since I always keep finding new snippets. So, let's start the story like this. Marika and Radagon are seperate. Marika is with Godrey, have 3 kids, Marika thinks two smell and yeets em into a sewer. Radagon fights Rennala, likes her, uses celestial dew, marries her, has kids etc. But Godrey gets ousted, with all the other now-tarnished. So Radagon is called back, dumps Rennala, and DOESN'T use Celestial Dew. (I don't think this points to him already/not alreadty being one w. Marika, just him following Marika's goal to break Rennala). I presume that they fused somehow after this. Notably, Melina is speaking in the BEDCHAMBER. While in some ways her dialogue is confusing, as it starts with "O Radagon, leal hound of the Golden Order. Thou'rt yet to become me. Thou'rt yet to become a god." This seems to point very clearly to them being seperate. But how does this reconcile with what comes very shortly after, in the same dailogue course. "Let us be shattered, both. Mine other self." While this seems very hard to get working, I do have a theory, actually 2. Theory one is that we are basically hearing right before and after fusing. That her talking about "not yet being me" is right before they are both one. Of course, the shattering part is odd, but the second theory focuses more on that. Theory 2 is like the first theory in that it implies that the first and 2nd dialogue parts are seperate. However, this theory would put them further apart, with her saying the last part on the way to go and shatter the elden ring. The odd part for this theory is why the echoes are at the same time, but since echoes seem to go past time, maybe that's just fine. As for items such as Malenia's rune, I have no issues with this, since I assume that Radagon and Marika are fused before Melania and Miquella are born anyways. Regardless of when they fuse, while they are one creature now, in body, I think that even by the end of the game they are seperate in mind(maybe soul, basically just seperate in their "ego"). After all, Radagon still takes over to fight. Maybe the beast even broke the cross for him.

[@Mike_l_itoris]

There's unused dialogue in the unpatched version, I'm playing on 1.0 rn on disc to see differences(there's a lot) and at one point when I was at raya lucaria classroom I talked to her at grace and she apologized for not being able to guide you and something more but can't remember exactly

[@professiggitways]

I didn’t even know there were 23 minutes of this

[@dep5210]

They should not have had a talk to melina option cause I only saw her that 1 time when you first meet her and the second time for the round table then when I learned that you can talk to her she just says "thanks bro gotta bounce"

[@sephatu6521]

9:50 oh so that one gave a gesture

[@hideous_taco_michael_zacki]

No maidens🌚? Spoiler ahead: It appears, that we actually had a maiden, but white-face Varre (the guy who meets us at the begging and calls us "maidenless") is the one who killed our maiden and took her blood, due to the fact that he serves a lord of blood Mogh. Just think about it: the guy killed our girl only to later make fun of us, calling us maidenless.

[@callmejohnny6733]

he didn't kill her

If you talk to shabriri before going to the frenzied flame proscription, I got a prompt at the church where you kill mogh. Got a slighty different dialogue about her being the kindling in the second half of her asking you to not become the lord of frenzy.

[@ronroller5731]

Just got through the jumping section and she continued her speech, adding the part where a lord is no lord in a lifeless land. If you don’t talk to shabriri or at the church right before making your way down you miss a whole batch of dialogue it seems. There’s so much detail in this game.

[@plipplop728]

@@ronroller5731 Wait, I'm pretty sure I spoke to her at the grace of Frenzy Flame BEFORE speaking to Shabiri at the Mountain, but she still has that line about "a lord is no lord in a lifeless land". Could you please elaborate on this 'slightly' different dialogue before and after Shabiri? or point me to a spesific source that shows those lines?

@@plipplop728 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYTLlpyHgc6Hic0 at 0:47 in this video is the extra bit of dialogue I got about her being the kindling. I’m not sure if you have to talk to shabriri before hand but I’m assuming the game expects you to do that to point you towards the three fingers.
