Elden Ring - The Summer Triangle Theory

Not even Radahn can stop this.

[@ChrisG_90]

The triangle knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The triangulation subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the triangle from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. 🔺️

It makes sense that From Software would take inspiration from real-world astrology in designing the Carian culture, and the Nox are certainly connected with them. Even though it may some of these may be coincidences, there being "Three Sisters", three Eternal Cities and three torches to light in Sellia could easily have been purposeful in order to create this reference.

[@Coast2CoastFlyin]

First off, I can’t say enough good things about sharing these kinds of outside the box theories, since I think this kind of thinking is required to uncover the deeper mysteries this game holds. I’d never heard of the Summer Triangle before, but the idea that key locations would be a) built in sets of 3, and b) align with the stars are very intriguing avenues to investigate. I’m a little skeptical about triangles though, as technically any 3 places will form a triangle. However, the fact that you’ve picked certain specific locations, and had those locations produce remarkably similar triangles on different scales (mirroring the micro/macro sameness concept expressed in the famous hermetic phrase “as above so below”) makes it harder to deny that you’re probably onto something. One thing I want to mention about terrestrial locations vis a vis their alignment with specific celestial bodies (idunno if I used “vis a vis” correctly) is that the lands between is very different in this regard than the real world. The land has clearly undergone dramatic alterations, likely occurring over a very short period, as I’m presuming many of these dramatic alterations came about during the shattering. A couple examples being the Weeping Peninsula becoming an island, the chapel of Anticipation being torn away from the cliff-facing edge of Stormveil, and the flooding of the Liurnian lowlands, transforming the forest into a swamp and causing the sprawling gate town to sink into the mire. Conversely, the positions of the stars in the sky has remained unchanged since the day Radahn won his conquest of the stars and arrested their cycles. So there’s a very good chance that in many of the places you mentioned the alignment between cosmic and earthly locations remains largely in tact. Whether there’s actually anything to be gleaned from this, or if it’s limited to the idea itself I’m not sure. I wonder if there’s any correlation between the locations of in-game stars in the sky and real world locations of stars in the sky

[@justkubz]

Thank you for your well thought out comment, I really appreciate the kind words and I'm glad this theory possibly sparked some new way of thinking for you. I did consider that the landscape has been drastically altered, though gradually over time, and I also think that the way we conceptualize time here in our world is likely different than that of the Lands Between. Thanks again for your support!

@@justkubzIn Elden Ring there is some hint of rule of 3, but who knows what it really means, the game story is too incomplete

[@Myron90]

I agree with your comment. The theories were very interesting. In astrology a certain triangle known as a "trine" is very important and symbolic on someone's birth chart. I'm sure he may be onto something. The people who made this game put everything there for us to figure out on our own.

This is what the design of this game does. Its a psychological thing. Get our minds racing to weird ideas and down bizarre rabbit holes. When all of our crazy theories don't pan out are we in for disappoint?

[@kyledsweeney]

I feel like everything is so deliberate in this game that I would expect the triangles to be exactly the same (or a lot closer to each other). Maybe there’s something to the idea of triangles themselves (or groups of 3 things), but I think it’s a pretty big stretch to say these are all mirroring a specific kind of triangle. Our minds evolved to literally see patterns in everything, so i can understand the theory and I’m not knocking the hustle, but I remain a triangle skeptic. Also, I had Triangle Pit by Otto Von Schirach playing in my head for this whole video, and that was fun. Thanks for the vid!

[@lilolero4841]

The inverted towers actually serve a purpose, they represent the fall of the 3 sisters. In the leaked dlc gameplay you can see them in the distance in 5 different places (not 5 towers) and they are crumbled. In the lore drscription of the noxtela hood it actually stares "Sisters three, they rise, they fall, and forgetten, yet again to be impure of the mortal sin". Ranni, Renna and Melina (not confirmed) serve a huge purpose in the dlc's background lore. Also Godofroy is cannon and serve as the counterpart of Godrick as his "destiny after death", meaning that we can't know for sure if the new great runes could be part of the elden ring.

I definitely think we need more crackpot metrological and geometric analysis. My suspicion is that the "undiscovered" thing Miyazaki hinted at is a metrological code. Scott Onstott's "Secrets in Plain Sight" might provide some inspiration.

[@FoldingScreenMonkey]

Considering the duality that pretty much every major character embodies as compared to the two fingers, there could be a similar thing happening with the three fingers as well. However, I don't think the specific shape of the triangle necessarily has any meaning

[@KurtacusRex]

I just ate a slice of pizza and it told me about Leo Is cool theory, I took the repeating 3's in those two cultures as a generic triple goddess setup that repeats across the real world. Like breat or the Morrigan, goddesses that are embodied in 3 different aspects, at the same time and place or not, or even things like the holy trinity, or Maiden mother crone witchcraft. Really, three is a popular number for magic systems, and only so many shapes have 3 sides... But I absolutely agree the Marian's and nox would absolutely have the summer triangle for the reasons you suggest, even if unintentional. Also pyramids do triple stuff and line up with stars. Both hemispheres of earth.

[@BluberDuckOfficial]

If someone made a made a video like this about real life pyramids or ancient history I would have rolled my eyes and moved on, yet for some reason I love this. Do I think any of this is actually intended by the devs? No. Do I think it's just a coincidence? Yes. Is this going into my head canon? You bet your ass it is. Godspeed Elden Ring conspiracy man. Godspeed

[@PonderingSai]

[@diamondrhino64]

Chat we're goung back to mlg theories

[@SocraTetris]

Interesting concept. I think this can be attributed to game design instead. Zelda Breath of the Wild developed a triangular point-of-interest design theory. Each point on the map should be able to see three other points of interest to give players a sense of constant opportunities. So any three points are going to create a triangle, but you are likely removing the fourth point, the observation point, for confirmation bias.

[@starcraftviewer]

Interesting and unique theory with a great presentation. I'm not totally convinced, but it is a very cool idea.

The Weeping Peninsula is the smallest replica of the whole game and everymap after this expand and repeats the larger concepts and contents of the Whole Complete Map Example: The weeping peninsula has: - A plateau with a Minor Erdtree in the middle with both a Catacomb and a cave underneath it; - The Cave has a Scarab with a Lightning incantation; - The Catacomb has Deathblight; - All of this near a Frenzy Village - To the left of the Minor Erdtree we have a Beach and a Poison cave; - We also have here a piece of Farum Azula with a Scarab holding Divine Fortification (The first mentioned that the Fingers are against the Tarnished) - Here we also have the First Church of Radagon strangely close to a Church of Marika - Northeast we have a Suspended Area with a Astrologer Rise, A Alabaster Lord, A Graveyard with Giant Tombstones next to the Impaler Catacombs; - Next to Castle Morne we have a Poison Swamp with strange stones coming off the ground next to a beach and a Golen; - Next to the Impassible Bridge we have a cave with a bear slepping near a dead corpse holding a St. Trina's Lily The World Map has: - The Altus Plateau with the Erdtree and underneath it we have - The Suwers that contains the Three Fingers - A route to Godwyns dead body - To the left of the Erdtree we Have Liurnia of the Lakes and underneath it we have The Lake of Rot - In Liurnia we have a tall structure where Manus Celes is and there we finish Ranni's Questline when she kills her 2 Fingers - And we discover that Radagon has a Secret. "Radagon is Marika" - Northeast we have the Mountaintop's of the Giants with Impaled bodies of said Giants & The Birth place of the Astrologers - To the South we have Caelid wich became a Scarlet Rot infested Land next to Stormveil's Limgrave; - And finally To the very north underneath the Chain Bridge we have the Consacrated Snowfields where Malenia, The Blade of Miquella sleeps near were the body of Miquella was suposed to be;

OH MAN brilliant video... This has really helped bulster my theories about the eternal cities. I theorise that they were ruled over by 3 sisters, and there was a squabble over who ascended to be the main ruler (previous one found on giant crypt throne in nokstella) (very george r r martin, no?). One sister died during the banishment of the Numen underground, and the other two seatless chairs (nokstella and sellia- possibly moved from nameless city) are the GEQ and Marika. Marika betrayed her sister and sacrificed her city to ascend to godhood. (I followed the waterways that link the cities, and after the nameless city i found piles of bodies very reminiscent of the petrified figures in the OTHER eternal cities that are not in the nameless city) Another connection between the carians and eternal cities, the ball in sellia reminiscent of the eternal city balls uses a carian sigil.
