What a masterpiece of a trilogy. Very cinematic and the ending tribute was great as always!

[@Thebrotherscode]

Thank you very much. We appreciate your support and we’re glad you enjoyed the video! 🤍

[@Kyranth]

25:10 Are Marika and Radagon actually of two bodies and one single soul? Aren't they like of a single body and two different souls? In the end cinematic we see Marika falling and her golden hair turning to red and Radagon getting up. That's quite different from the D brothers that actually have two separate bodies. While the Ds pursue the same goal, Marika and Radagon seem to work against each other. One shattering the Elden Ring, the other attempting to repair it. One being shackled, imprisoned, while the other acting as a guard to face any invaders attempting to change the current order.

[@asumthin5735]

I’m lucky enough to work a job that lets me listen to long-form projects like this. I was able to binge all 3 of your Elden Ring explanation videos this last evening into this afternoon, and here at the end, all I can say is well done. Well done, well done, well done. Such a wonderfully crafted love-letter to the fans of this incredible story. Thank you so much for the many hours of work that went into this project. The painstaking effort you put into this shines through every second of all 3 videos. You’ve crafted an absolute masterpiece.

[@Thebrotherscode]

Wow, that was heartwarming to read. We really appreciate your support and we’re happy to hear that you enjoy our content. We look forward to providing you with more in the near future! 🤍

[@ashiscjohnson9745]

something i believe after i saw smoughtowns video is that pidia made seluvis into a doll and did everything. This would give the soldiers more reason to kill a lowly servant I feel like

[@aWolffromElsewhere]

I loved all of these. Always chose the Ranni ending when I played. The lands between shall always be free of tyranny! Plus getting hitched and flying off into the moon rise? Can't beat that.

[@ehblaik237]

You had mentioned the music in this one would be a significant upgrade from the previous, and honestly that undersold it even still. Absolutely fantastic! The video itself is, as always, excellent but the music was such a profound improvement (not that it was even bad before!) that I had to say something. Keep up the epic work, you deserve to be considered among the Souls-lore greats. Thank you so much and the very best to you!

[@Thebrotherscode]

We appreciate you taking the time to comment this. It makes all the hard work worth it. Thank you for your support! 🤍

This channel need more respect and recognition

[@CFX992]

I dont think the Black Knife Assassins made an attempt on Blaithe's life, I think they were going after Ranni as payback for her double crossing them following the night of the black knives, and Blaithe being loyal to Ranni, killed them to defend her.

[@jarankennedy762]

I’ve always interpreted it as they did try to take his life. Reason being, he assisted in her every whim, as I believe all shadows do/did. Regardless of what it is they believe, their sole purpose is to defend and assist their other half, essentially. So it is likely that they sought after him as a means to weaken her. however, them being assassins, they would likely have a hard time sneaking up to and assassinating a half wolf, and at that point they turn from assassin to fighter, meaning Blaidd would have the upper hand as he’s more proficient. That’s how I always saw it, anyway, this was a great video regardless

[@BigPerc17]

They tried to take his life once they were there but they didn’t go there with those intentions. They went looking for Ranni and found Blaidd

[@CFX992]

@@jarankennedy762 Don't forget they came after Eji too, they were taking out people that served Ranni one after another.

[@isolemnlyswearthatiamup2nogood]

Btw the locations of the medallions you mentioned at 37:53 are the opposite of what’s on the screen. But great commentary, diction and information. Very easy and enjoyable to listen to.

[@Thebrotherscode]

This was intentional, the in-game description of the left half medallion describes the right half and vice versa. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the video, we appreciate you watching! 🤍

[@3clipse_watcher476]

Phenomenal video as usual from you brothers. It is quite exciting to see the lore put into a concise and timeline-esque context so that many of the details and intricacies are apparent. The Niall and Niell connection, as well as the Marika/Melina relation for example. Fantastic content, and as I’m currently doing my first all bosses run for DS3, I’ll be rewatching the story explained on that one again soon. But also…since when was there news of a much anticipated DEMON’S SOULS STORY EXPLAINED?!?! Cannot wait!

Greeting Tarnished! Quite the journey you undertook becoming the Elden Lord, reminds me of a certain Chosen Undead's Pilgrimage. I must say The Lands Between sounds considerably akin to my home Lordran, perhaps a visit is in order for this Knight of Berenike!

Excellent! Helped me get through the night with ease and learned a lot!

Thank you mate, we’re excited to get to the 100k mark. Hopefully soon enough haha.

[@thenekromantik9814]

Man you've been doin gods work releasing all these videos, especially at these lengths, it's what the community needed, keep it up. Have you ever thought about what games/series you want to do other than the From Softwares soulsbourne games? Truly I think you should do Halo because it's very lore rich, and whether you would tackle it from game to game or from the whole universe as a whole would be very cool. Stickin around regardless

[@Thebrotherscode]

Thank you my friend. We’re definitely open to look into all types of games once we’ve covered Fromsoft games, but we haven’t decided which ones yet. We appreciate the suggestion.

[@bananaborn4785]

keep on keeping on my dudes

[@KhaliGeeb]

Everyone should watch your videos after playing the game, so much become much clearer, when you play second time, it's such a different experience. Thnak you for your hard work, amazing trilogy!

[@irregularchild]

I have been so excited for this video let's go!!!

[@ShroomedMisterCraft]

I cannot watch this one as I haven't beaten the game. Here is a comment and a like for the channel though and I'll get back to this in due time. May the force be with you, always. Edit: actually I have more to say! This is my favorite channel on KZbin. Why? Because of the simplicity of the profile icon and thumbnails, the music which is expertly layered over your story, the small amount of speculation while telling the factual story details. I really could go on. After the from software games are done I sincerely hope that you guys carry on to another series, however, even if you guys were to stop, your collection of videos are a master class in storytelling and video editing and I commend your effort to share what you love in a way that can capture the minds and hearts of your audience. Yup. Pretty cool brohs

[@Martedamm]

I thought Pidia controlling Seluvis as puppet was rather obvious in-game, it's widely accepted since launch.

[@gateking2363]

The thing I like about the frenzied flame ending is that it’s a parallel to not linking the flame in Dark souls 3 on one hand you have a ending where you give the world a forced ending but the world desperately needs to end and the other is that you give the world a forced ending by burning it all down but you end a world that could’ve been saved.

I was always curious why the fingerslayer blade was only a key item and not a useable weapon in game. It didn't have to be a end all "best weapon" kind of thing but i still think itd be cool. If the sacred relic sword wasn't a great sword it and the fingerslayer would look sick dual wielded

[@sueflewelling3657]

great video ps if you have to rank all the story of each game what would it be

[@Thebrotherscode]

That is a difficult question to answer my friend. All I can say is that Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne hold a special place in our hearts. And that Dark Souls 2’s story is certainly underrated. Thanks for watching!

​@@Thebrotherscodeanother thing if you have to rank the iconic outfit in the each game how would it be?

[@TRETHEGAMERMAN]

Since your guys journey of doing souls borne games is on pause for rn till the dlc/next game may I recommend doing demon’s souls or elder scrolls games

[@Thebrotherscode]

Yes! Demon’s Souls is next on the list. 😃

[@CorpseTornado]

Goldmask's flaw is never questioning the color of Gold, because he's from the age after they changed it from Red. His mistake reflects his original sin, the fly in the ointment, given to us all when removing Destined Death. Gold loses its Red vitality, the Sun is Forgotten, the Snake eats the Seed, the Thorns strangle the Sprout, and the Bloodline Fails. The Son dies in the Summer. Fate eclipses Meaning as Death Eclipses Life. Shadow Eclipses Light. Can't wait for the DLC.

[@samaugust5447]

Wonderful, simple Wonderful.

[@manoking9619]

Soulsborne games always have multiple interpretations to them. It's largely why the stories are so intriguing. I love this interpretation of the story but I do disagree on two points (I am currently 20mins in): Firstly, I believe that Pidia was controling Selivus as a puppet, not that he was killed as a consequence for conspiring with him. Second, Rennala is not the reason Sellen turns into a graven mass. The graven masses are created by those who cling to studying the primeval current. Rennala is a master magician who can stop Sellen at anytime, yet chooses to allow her to take over the academy while she sits a in corner of the library content with her egg. Sellen turns herself into that mass with the bodies of the masters in order to study the primeval current.

[@Donovarkhallum]

She isn't content with the egg . Her mind is broken after. Radagon and. She is. Obsessed with the egg and the concept of rebirth. She doesnt even care about the academy anymore. And only rebbirths the students because of. Her obsession with the conceppt.

i prefer the perfect order ending because both gods and all beings are bound by the same rules no impurities. Ranni endings leaves to many uncertainties and she doesn't have a good reputation about how she wants to rule. Gold Mask only wanted the golden order to be pure and unwavering. Ranni wants everyone one to have pure freedom without rules or regulations to me that kinda dangerous.

I thought morgotts actions were of his desire to be loved and honored, because he was shunned and shackled for his entire life- so would that not be driven by resentment at heart? He wanted to prove others wrong
