My read on the Perfumer-to-Omenkiller pipeline is that Rollo probably thought he was performing a grim necessity like putting down rabid dog. He had to kill his emotions with a special concoction, so he wasn't some bloodthirsty sadist doing it for kicks. The real question is why the other Omenkillers started cropping up. Was there a sudden spike in Omen births that made the people of Leyndell nervous about being overrun by the dirty little secrets they kept in the Shunning Grounds?

[@wavierdig]

If i had to guess Others who agreed with rollo followed in his footsteps And those who wanted to murder used it to murder thangs Its probably a mix of both

[@ghostly_number]

I would theorize that omens started to reproduce in the sewers, and well some might have started to escape sewers and cause panic on the city.

[@Winterfang]

Fun fact, put the omenkiller rollo summon against any omen and he will get his ass kicked guaranteed

[@BananasinpajamasIV]

Maybe at plus 0, my man Rollo is nasty otherwise.

[@thekillers1stfan]

Rollo is a sick summon wtf are you talking about?

[@gameplus1997]

Rollo+10 actually killed a crucible knight for me

[@spookhater]

Rollo at +10 almost Solo’d Morgott

[@benrose6627]

I love fighting the omens. One of the coolest and most difficult non-boss enemies in the game.

[@zenebean]

I like that the flame breath is from their concoction (like the poison breath Patches uses) to hint at being their perfumer origins. These doctors being twisted by the Golden Order into fighters and brutish hunters is one of a part of the lore I love running into

[@GODE-ot9pu]

My assumption was rollo was apart of the perfumers who were ordered to amputate omen babies. Due to the high mortality rate he was crestfallen to the point of needing some fix. Creates the physic, rids himself of emotion, others capitalize on how he will do ANYTHING now and changes his job to actively hunt omen who weren’t given up to be amputated

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

Love the lore of the Perfumers/Omen Killers. Their lore is almost tragic. Your serviced to the lore of Elden Ring should be honored btw! Come on now Shadow Of The Erdtree!!!

[@beansnrice321]

Pretty sure they were the ones to cut off omen horns because that's where they got the horns for their cleavers.

[@user-ss4qr3qg9e]

Bro.... you did such a good job, you fucking destroyed this episode. So much passion and thought was obviously put into it. Good job sir. I'll watch this another 10,000 times. Well done. 🙌😎🔥💯

[@zenserve]

I just discovered this absolutely superb series and am steadily working my way through it. Splendid work!

[@square-table-gaming]

Welcome aboard! Thank you!

[@John-rn1nm]

I wish the Shane Haight quest in Leyndell wasn't cut. I actually enjoy fighting Omens, really helps practice parries and poise breaks.

[@CYRUSX1]

Keep it going , for more days , dlc is coming

[@jaysondowney7403]

The thing I want to learn about the omen killers is that they were perfumers before but after becoming omen killers them seem to grow like 3 feet perhaps this is some sort of karma for killing omen as they are about the same height

[@KurwaRomek]

Maybe omen killers are picked among the tallest, strongest perfumers

[@Shadowcthuhlu]

Maybe they ate some Omens and grew bigger. If you eat string things, you get stronger

[@necrogenesis1981]

Take a drink every time he says omen.

[@mitsuri3096]

Best spirt summon imo

[@Etothe3rdPower]

Thumbnail art gets better with each video. Lore content, as always, is top notch as well.

[@TRACTOOOOOOOOOR]

I wonder what we'll see of them in the future. Great video as always!

[@Okkusen]

sadly there seems to be no peace and love in the lands between. Just despair

[@arthurgb1962]

Great video, as usual! There is a theory that says that both the perfumer and the omenkiller at the Albinauric Village are actually puppets from Seluvis based on his hidden "playground". That he would know of Gideon's plans aligns with Dolores lore that both were once friends. Maybe his puppets are double agents. Who would ever suspect? Keep runnning this awesome channel, please!

[@Storm_walker13]

56 times, Great lore telling too. Y'all should do a longer version or combine them in order. I love this lore and Y'all tell it beautifully.

[@square-table-gaming]

We have an 11 hour video with all of our lore from year 1 of the channel. We're going to do it again for year 2!

[@keonakel9678]

Hey STG nice video, nobody does it like you guys! Have you done a video on the merchants yet? The ones we see around the map like in the church of Elleh, don’t know if there’s much to research but it would be cool seeing them.

[@square-table-gaming]

We talk about their history in our video on Shabriri!

[@TitleDotJpeg]

Thank you

[@chadwickbuchanan5818]

I know the omenkillers where originally perfumers but what I find confusing is how specifically did they turn into omenkillers did they practice some witch craft to give themselves additional size and strength?

[@square-table-gaming]

[@blumiu2426]

Strange so many would feel guilty and not filled with ranks of justified, backed by their belief in the Golden Order. It more makes it seem none really did if the human trait of seeing something ugly as repulsive didn't reinforce it.

[@square-table-gaming]

They started as perfumers and we know Trisha was known for her compassion to all. It's possible this was norm amongst the perfumers before their conscription into the ranks of the golden order.

[@blumiu2426]

@@square-table-gaming No perfumer would have a bias considering they grew up in the Lands Between under the Golden Order? It just seems unnatural from how we know humans can be herded in mentality. There may be those of tender heart, but most fall into line with whatever popular view there is and will justify whatever action under it, because usually it's enforced with superstition/folklore introduced at an early age. Unless Perfumers were a people all their own and not just rank of organization, their numbers would eventually be filled with newer generations coming up under the order. And didn't the Omen start appearing toward the end of the Golden Order's reign? Thousands of years would have passed.

[@tarrencetherock1938]

YES

[@thekillers1stfan]

They're basically alcoholics, so I love them lol

[@AegisKHAOS]

Does the omen part of omenkiller count? Not that it matters to me since I didn't bother to keep count to begin with. :p

[@square-table-gaming]

I'd say yes haha
