To me, the creepiest thing about Godwyn's corpse is the reality that it isn't a corpse at all. Since only his soul perished, his body lived on and mutated into a grotesque abomination. It's not a corpse, it's a cancer.

Also, it noteworthy that the corruption from Godwyn's corpse spread *everywhere*. In the boss room of any catacomb, you will see how tree roots protrude from the ground and the wall, dragging the dead remains up as well. In fact, you will notice this throughout the catacomb, but the boss room is where the corruption is most prominent to the point you can see Godwyn's 'eyes' on the twisted roots. Not only that, the corrupted roots can be found on Farum Azula which is floating in the sky, meaning that Godwyn's cancer doesn't give a shit about the laws of physics.

Worse, even if he's a corpse and remain still as one, it feels like he knows you're there when you enter his domain.

If anyone recalls the initial cutscene, Godwyn is stabbed in the back of the neck by the Black Knife assassins while two others hold up his arms, and from the positioning of the Camera and the way they all seem to be looking down towards Godwyn, it's safe to assume he's pretty much kept the half kneeling, slumped pose of the moment the Black Knife killed him. (Which looks oddly reminiscent of Marika's pose, the pose she takes that's in the shape of the Rune of Death.)

There is also the Sanzu River in Japanese Buddhism. Similar to the River Styx of Ancient Greek mythology (which is also referenced in ER with the Tibia Mariner), the dead had to pay a fee to cross the Sanzu and reach the afterlife. As Godwyn is half dead, you could consider him stuck in the mythological watery boundary between life and the afterlife, leading to the development of aquatic features.

There's something about the Prince of Death that makes it a particularly unsettling take on undeath to me. Maybe it's the subtlety of the concept of it. Normally undead are done in this straightforward "ha, scared you!" kinda way where the more or less physical remains of a dead person are given a melancholy/creepy/hostile disposition. And then they go BLARRGH. Let's look at what happens when we die. Our vitals cease, our brains no longer can function. Our thoughts, memories and identity cease to exist in their own right. What remains are other peoples' memories, and a body that looks like us, but will be going bad shortly so it's better to put it in a box or burn it, and be done with it. Otherwise it will stink up the place before it can be arsed to turn back into dirt.. Well, that's how it went for Godwyn. Except for the fact his body doesn't rot away. It remains, out of sight, and it will slowly creep its way back. But not as an angry zombie, or a vengeful spirit. It'll return as an inexplicable, corrupting entity that doesn't care about you or anything. The design is particularly cruel too. Imagine being a loved one of Godwyn, remembering all his dignity and pride, and then running into this giant clam headed grotesque staring at nothing.

The odd pose he was left in when Death awakened could also influence his shape. Could also of course be the mangling of Death's roots.

We know certain creatures are able to take on the form of humans (a few ancient dragons are said to have taken human forms to live among people) and that makes me wonder: what if this is Godwyn’s “true” form? Maybe since his soul is dead and his body continues to mutate, he’s beginning to morph back into that original body? After all he is the son of Marika who herself is a Numen and are rumored to have come from another “world”. If you interpret that literally his alien like appearance doesn’t seem all too unusual.
@elleofmusic2 жыл бұрын
And Marika's name is Polish and means "of the sea." In Irish lore the country was once ruled by supernatural beings called Fomorians who were considered to be semi-aquatic, and the Tuatha de Dannan eventually drove them back into the sea. Numens might be similar. The word "Numen" is also a Latin colloquialism meaning the divine power or spiritual force of an object, place, or phenomenon, indicating that Numen are indeed mystical.

To add to what you said about Numen it can also be a reference to the Numenoreans of Tolkien's work: a people blessed with long life and tall stature who lived on an island kingdom until they were corrupted by Sauron and tried to go to war with the divine stewards of their world. The creator god Iluvatar destroyed most of them and their island home and reshaped the world to make it round and set the Undying Lands of the divine apart from Middle Earth.

Ppl say his "correct" head position is the one seen in the last seconds of this video, but i dont think thats correct because those eyes seen in other places like the basilisks or the ones growing in the roots have the exact contrary position. You can see what his original head position was thanks to his hair: its comming from inside that shell-like shape. His nose didnt just get flattened; it came all the way to his forehead. That little circle you see in the other side was originally his mouth. I believe his head is mutating in a way he ends up like a quadrupedal animal (like the basilisks), and what you see when looking at him from the front is actually his back: his body is "rotating" so what originally was his back is going to be his new chest. I have my doubts as you can see his spine in this model showing video but that was not originally to be seen in normal circumstances so who knows.
@SirMux2 жыл бұрын
me and my friend argued at length about this and I think more people in the community need to discuss this and find definitive proof. I originally thought the "clam lip" side of his head was Godwyn's mouth because of the nose, but the golden hair coming from the mouth and the spine/pecs difference on the torso are pretty compelling evidence that is not the case. Also, his hands have thumbs showing which way is the front of his torso if the pecs/spine aren't clear enough in the model. I started adopting the idea that the face we see on the crabs/pustule/everything covered in death is "eating" his original head, and that explains the nose being where it is. It's a growth of a clamshell form enveloping his head. The clamshell can also symbolize a crown, like the scales on Rykard do.

I'd like to note that Godwyn might have been inspired by the Norse God Baldr. Baldr was a son of Odin and a God of light. Among of the Æsir, he was the most beloved. But he was killed by Loki when he shot an arrow with mistletoe. This event is believed to be the starting point to Ragnarok. However, after Ragnarok it is said that Baldr will rise once again and rebuild the world. Compare this to Godwyn, a demi-god beloved by his people only be killed, which lead to to shattering of the Elden Ring and the rest of his brethren suffering in some way. Even more interesting is that Fia claims she wants to actually bring Godwyn back, in some way, which pretty much solidifies the correlation between these two

Hmm, a thought: we know Marika was physically part astral horror as a god because she contained the Elden Ring inside herself, which was itself an astral horror as the Elden Beast. That would mean all her children could be part astral horror as well, or at least influenced by one by sharing Marika's body with the Elden Beast. Perhaps without his mortal soul to balance things out, Godwyn's body became more and more eldritch as his otherworldly nature ran rampant. This could also be the reason for Miquella's transformation into a giant Orphan of Kos-like monstrosity in his cocoon, as his human side is being overpowered by his astral self's enhancement by the blood of an Outer God. This could explain the 3 demigod transformations we see, that they are influenced by a different Outer God's influence. Melania's influence by the former god of rot is clear, Miquella becomes a blood-drained corpse under the Formless Mother's influence, and Godwyn displays fishy, sealife elements of the Elden Beast's swimming, acquatic nature.

Miquella became like he is because he fused himself to the Haligtree through a coccoon so that he would grow alongside it, bypassing his curse of being forever a child in body. However while he was still in the long process of transforming his coccoon was snatched from the Haligtree by his Omen half brother, causing the tree to die and miquella to be stuck comatose in a weird in between phase. Then mohg kinda did weird blood stuff to him to try to commune with him and wake him up. So its not the formless mother influencing him directly, its just that Mohg screwed over his plans and the result is he's a weird lanky and wrinkly naked guy who's stuck in a coma inside a broken coccoon.

It’s reckless and violent, thrashing around and spewing out pools of death. Then we enter his second phase, the conscious of Godwyn is somehow reignited. He speaks to us and switch’s to a combination of both death blight moves and golden order incantations/lighting. And of course he’ll have some giant sword he can pull off some flashy moves with.

Then he got assasinated by the black knives which destroyed his soul while leaving his body an immortal demigod husk. In an effort to forcibly return him to the erdtree (which is what happens in place of normal death in the lands between) they buried him in its roots. But instead of returning to the tree or just existing his body continued to grow into a monstrocity that has fused ith the roots to create deatjroot that spreads his condition to corpses and can infect the living as well. And thats about all we know about Godwyn in the lore.

This meant that his face also turned upside down, but his tail fin is also shown to have the backside exposed... Overall, just hard to decipher.

I think that in a lot of ways Godwyn’s current state is an empathetic reflection of what his death did to Marika. Being undead means that you can’t move on, and by most accounts Marika could never move on after his death. He was probably her favorite child, and beloved by most of the Lands Between, and his death shook her to the point that she shattered the Elden Ring and abandoned the world to ruin. He haunts the land, his face is literally appearing everywhere like the lingering memory of loved one, but instead of appearing as he was in life it’s this horrible, misshapen nightmare. Marika couldn’t keep going after he died, she couldn’t hold on to the good memories she had of him and keep loving the rest of her family, she just became consumed by the horror and confusion of what happened and now Godwyn himself is this horrifying and confusing thing. It’s eating the world from the inside-out, and I think it makes sense that if the god of this world experienced such a traumatic loss that the world she governed would feel the blow as well. I think that’s also probably why her Radagon half at least tried to repair the Elden Ring; it wasn’t his own child who died, it was his stepson, and he probably didn’t feel the loss nearly as hard as Marika did. He was like a spouse desperately trying to rouse his wife from crippling depression and hold the world together, and he just couldn’t find a way to do it.

(The deeproot depths finger oracle bemoans the fact he didn't die a "true" death.) and Ranni interfered with that via killing herself at the same time as the murdered godwyn. I believe she just wanted to end herself and be free from the greater will. As far as I'm aware she had no idea she'd die solely in body. There was a 50% chance she could've been the one who died in spirit but the fates/outer gods seemed to have a different plan.
