I have this funny theory behind Malenia and the Griffith cosplayer that is her brother. I've noticed that all the cocoons around the tree are mostly an average NPC character size while the largest is Miquella himself. Since the haligtree greatshield said he was using his blood to water the tree, he probably instructed many of his followers to do the same. The desperation for him to beat the Elder tree made him basically stuck in a coma where we find him mostly drained of his blood at Mohg Palace. Even though many people say he was cursed to have a young body forever I think it's a lack of understanding of the condition of parasitic fetal disorder where Malenia became a beast while Mickey is childlike. The statues of them back this up as I do not see the skinny, skeleton exposed arm that we see in game.

@@gameframeinc.3389 Yea I would venture a guess as to this process being what the item description depict Miquella as watering the Halig tree. I'm only going by that one cutscene with Mohg literally giving him a transfusion of blood to Miquella only showing up when the player arrives. Maybe it was just a thematic choice to have Mohg do this yet the abrupt nature that the boss fight ends on, literally a clif hanger makes me think so.

In my opinion the reason that Malenia attacked Radahn wasn't arrogance or blind loyalty, it's because Miquella needed the stars to begin their movements again so he could get the eclipse needed to save his brother.

Finlay's ashes say that she carried Malenia to the Haligtree alone: "Finlay was one of the few survivors of the Battle of Aeonia, who in an unimaginable act of heroism carried the slumbering demigod Malenia all the way back to the Haligtree.

The stars are like literally one of the most powerful things on Elden Ring because they're a direct way to control the very fate. presumably Radahn controlling the stars made the Carian royals pretty much immortal, probably why we don't kill Rennala, why Radahn isn't able to die even though he's literally rotting from the inside, and also sort of implied by Iji that the stars being halted was the reason why Sellen is trapped and wasn't outright killed. It's not that he's "afraid of change", it was one of the most decisive moves by Radahn during the shattering.
@milokonna Жыл бұрын
Im recently often seeing that statement that Radhan is afraid of change, but is there more to that assessment, than just him holding the stars (which could have multitude of reasons) and still riding his tiny horse? Afterall holding the stars is a change on it's own, literally changing laws of the world, besides he moved out of his home in Liurnia to live in a completely different region, which is also a change.

@@milokonna Yes, but the stars are what allows Ranni to be able to do away with the Golden Order. Radhan kept her from changing the world with her ascension by locking her from the intervention of the stars. Not only that, but because of Destined Death being removed from the Elden Ring, Leonard can't die. Radhan is torturing his horse by having it be so old and weak from the effects of the Golden Order. If the stars are unable to move, Ranni can't become the next goddess and the Golden Order can remain in power, allowing Radhan to have Leonard as his horse forever until their bodies are destroyed. He changed fate all so he can maintain the status quo.

@@MalikCustoms123 If he knew about Ranni's plans, he could do that not to prevent the change, but to stop his sister from committing a murder on their step-brother, and killing herself. As far as we know, he has a beef only with stars, not other outher gods/powers and their envoys, that are trying to overtake greater will. He never tried to find the haligtree, to take down the twins, even though they pose a danger to the golden order. Leonard was described only as scrawny, not old or sickly. Magic of the world allowed to cheat that with gravity magic, so why not? When we see him in game, he was trapped on a desert, probably afflicted with rot, for many years, so he can look like dying horse just because of that. To me informations from the game, are too open-ended, to say for sure that the exact motivation behind Radahn's actions, was the fear of change specifically.

We're talking about fictional characters who adhere to and mirror thematic devices. Literature is a finite medium. You only have so much space and time to convey an idea. Radahn is the strongest of the demi gods, he has demonstrated his prowess on multiple occasions, he fears losing his horse and he fears losing some aspect of the world to the point of halting the flow of the stars. This is all we really need to make a determination about his personality here. He's not a real guy, he's a literary trope in a genre that is all about archetypal characters. We get just enough information about him to understand his motivations and place in the narrative and then we stab his legs til he dies.

I see Malenia as a perfect example that even good people end up doing fucked up things to achieve their goals. In Malenia's case, her scarlet aeonia completely wrecked Caelid forever. However, we can't ignore her efforts for achieving Miquella's dream who also housed the albinaurics, misbegotten, etc. So, I don't believe she is evil, but she's not a Saint either like most characters in fromsoft games. Anyway good vid HM.
@clorkmagnus Жыл бұрын
Nah, Malenia definitely isn’t good. She is more like the ultimate Miquella simp. It just happened that she is really strong and had a god power inside her, enough to even become a god herself. You see even when Plasidusax and the world divine serpent fell only depict them as legend aka mythical beings, similar to Astel. Prime Plasidusax is something else nobody know how strong he is and was probably a god. Only Malenia and Elden beast are called gods. In fact, the Elden beast was so strong by the lore you need to get destined death to kill it. This further supported by the Gideon saying “a man cannot defeat a god”. Also you can see the beast were wounded in the fight with you. It has a crack in the middle of the body. The god killing power was given to Malikek by Marika herself. Which indicated she used it to defeat other gods. You actually might need it to kill a god for real. Which is why you can choose to give Malenia the needle when you already defeated her. She was not dead. Cause by lore a god cannot be killed with mortal power?

Before the game released I thought Malenia was so cool, but when the game actually came out I ended up gravitating towards Radahn more. She's still cool but some of the things you brought up in the video definitely had me thinking. In regards to her not seeking out Miquella, I would almost believe it's like she doesn't know how to act without his guidance, as everything we know she did in the story was due to Miquella asking her to do it (Probably). Maybe she wanted to go and find him but without the actual say so from him she had to stay put? Basically a messed up circle of logic she has herself trapped in. "Oh I better save him, oh but wait he didn't tell me to do it. Guess I'll just wait here." It would definitely take away from her cool factor, but it would make some amount of sense in a weird way. But that's just me trying to justify it.

Also, Miquella probably told Malenia to kill Radahn so that the stars could move again, allowing Miquella to execute the eclipse ritual. Fun fact : Marais means swamp in french.

The recycling and rot was something to do with Miquella too. Early content (might have been japanese only? I can't recall.) sort of indicates that Miquella was accepting of all life, including his sister's rot and it's creatures. He made the needle and didn't finish it, after all. In game as it is today, his revelation and change in goal isn't really showed off much, but his departure from the golden order and into the search for unalloyed gold, devoid of the alchemical control of the outer gods. There I go bringing alchemy back into it.

Uses dex build with a katana, loses, uses rot, loses so hard its a coma. Lies about not losing, she lost twice to the guy who scourers the wastes of Cailid for over 1thousand years while constantly being rotted, feasting on her (and his) soldiers. Sleeps for hundreds of years, letting her subjects be abducted and slaughtered by her stepbrother and Gideon, tortured by Rykard, arguably a loss in matters of reign. Abandons life of divine origin that she created. Sleeps instead of searching for her brother (at least in the real world, Malenia Phantom as Boss in the DLC trying to follow Miquella?). Does not clean her room. She is by far the worst demigod of them all and that is considering Godrick and Mogh.

The bit about Godrick reminds me; Godrick's end is basically the opposite of Morgott's. While Morgott's body is held by his proud father, Godrick's has its face stomped on by a disgruntled ex-servant in disgust. One was a relatively gracious and worthy ruler, loyal and dedicated to his people (despite knowing that they would likely shun him if they knew he was an Omen), to the point of secretly entering the battlefield to fight for them (meaning he would never recieve any praise for the act), and the other is an insecure, neglectful coward, who abandoned his castle in the guise of a woman as it was sieged to save his own hide. Of course, one wielded great power and the other was basically an inbred weakling, but the ruler of a realm should still never jump ship, sacrificing all of their subjects in a bid to save themselves. The fact that not all of his servants died is irrelevant, as there's no way he predicted that, or he wouldn't have fled to begin with.

It’s probably why she was the only one bear the rot god power. Everyone else probably would have die. All the great runes are somewhat tie to their owners power.

@carsonnesbit1178 Жыл бұрын
I don't think that's the case for a very specific reason, the Erdtree shines with the stolen radiance of the sun, hence why the sun is "drained of color" in ER. Big clue that hints towards this is the sunflower item description. We know that the Sun is the god that placidusax likely served, as we find sun realm shields in Faram Azula and there is a giant sun behind him in his arena. Anyways the tarnished sunflower description says something along the lines of "grows facing the erdtree" and then says "though wilted and faded, it still retains holy essence" that last description is interesting as it applies to the sun itself. we know that the sun is currently "drained of its color" so the fact that the sunflowers grow facing the erdtree is rather interesting. Anyways, my point is that the haligtree doesnt shine the way the erdtree does since the erdtree stole the suns radiance, maybe thats what miqeuellas plan though. Maybe "swallowing the sun" meant that miquella would steal the remainder of its power and infuse it into his own Haligtree.

That is an interesting direction you are going in there. That way, Marikas intentions really would be to be free of the Elden Ring herself, instead of it being a grand ideological reasoning. So she maybe could not bear being an instrument of the greater will in this way anymore and snapped after no end was in sight. Even if this is just about Empyreans replacing her, Miquella is also defective. What made you consider that she specifically wanted a daughter for this?
@doomduck9073 Жыл бұрын
@@Sinhsseax I just think its very reminiscent of George R R Martin's writing for parental figures to have intended futures for their children. But the thought came to mind after Madman said Marika was an awful person, and also I was wrong when I said Godwyn's death pushed her because Godwyn's death was just the catalyst (according to Rogier) and the actual shattering happened after the children of Marika claimed the shards and started to do stuff that then triggered the shattering and the war that followed. Honestly, I'm doubting my own olive branch about Marika wanting a daughter, there are not enough details required to figure that. There is also the fact that of Marika's children, Ranni, Miquella, and Malenia were Empyrean's (The gloam eyed queen and Marika were also Empyrean) so it more likely to have been that factor that decided it. As an empyrean is the one to become the vessel for the Elden Ring. In regards to what made her shatter the Elden ring, I think you may be right in the notion that she snapped and could no longer take it. Ranni hated the two fingers which meant she was definitely not becoming a vessel for the greater will. Malenia was afflicted by a different outer god entirely. Miquella, I am unsure, I assume there is an outer god afflicting him as well, however he stopped believing in the Golden Order once he knew it wasn't going to help Malenia. I am unsure of who or where the Gloam Eyed Queen was at this time, but if this is Melina, it seems like Melina had a different role/purpose as they are the kindling maiden. Now I wonder if this would have resulted in Marika either needing more children, or if that was no longer possible just giving up entirely and breaking the elden ring. There is also the fact there are eight KNOWN children of Marika, and on the Elden thrones in both Leyndell and in Stormveil, a genealogy tree depicts eight figures on the tree (I counted eight, if I counted wrong please let me know), while at the top is queen Marika's bed chamber. It's all very very interesting to ponder about

The earlier games took place in particularly dark and troubled corners of their worlds. You could feel motivated to save the rest of the world from the horrors. There was a larger humanity to assume to be fighting for. Since they switched to entire worlds explicitly being in ruins, there is nothing to fight for in the grand scheme of things. On top of that epic stories are hard to tell with From's brand of dark minimalism, because the interactions available to the player never come close to events from the lore. You are late. You hear about these epic heroes clashing in wars between kingdoms, now go kill zombified shadows of their past glory, in dead ashes of said kingdoms. Your explicitly stated objective is to conquer the throne of a dying world. Everyone is dead or suffering endlessly. No one even expects the possibility of a positive ending, because these games have a reputation to uphold. The only surprise now would be things not turning to shit, but that's verboten. I recall Miyazaki wanting to have a positive NPC quest resolution in Bloodborne and Sony said no, that's not what we are paying you for. It's like with the psychology in Silent Hill 2, it was brilliant because you didn't expect it. And it was such a hit it made surprising psychological twists in a horror game pretty much impossible. It's considered bad manners not to have one. In Dark Souls you could easily link the fire 100% convinced that you have saved the world. But the dark twist became so famous it's now the baseline. Savior hero trope is dead, long live the unbreakable cycle of hopelessness trope! FromSoft's trademark is misery porn. When they try to stray from it, they get polite praise and lukewarm sales. I guess it's an all right badass themed backdrop for a gaming skill challenge, if that's what these games are to you. On the other hand it's probably the best lore friendly reasoning for the RPG murderhobo protagonist trope. You don't have to feel bad for being one in these games. What does it matter who you kill or what you ruin, it's all shit already anyways!

Shaded Castle sits in between all of the major powers in Elden Ring. There's good evidence that Godfrey hails from the area and is in fact the founder of House Marais. The fact that there is a poison swamp there rather than a scarlet rot swamp speaks to the idea that Malenia wasn't there for long if she was there at all. The poison swamp is more likely a result of Mt. Gelmir erupting at some point and pushing up toxic chemicals as the underlying magma structure was altered. Or else toxic chemicals settled down in that valley. Either or. The obsession with Malenia by Marais probably has a lot to do with the perception of Malenia at the time when she was active. House Marais probably fell into decline after Godfrey and the tarnished were kicked out of the lands between. With the Elden Lord banished and no longer representing them, they needed another way to grow their power. People probably thought that she was the most likely person to replace Marika as a new god. If Marais could marry Malenia, he would gain immense power. Marais develops an obsession, collecting artifacts of Malenia, commissioning statues. Maybe this was a Miquella induced obsession? I dunno. Point being, sometime shortly after that Gelmir erupts and functionally destroys Shaded Castle and any hope that Marais has of ever becoming a dominant power in the Land's Between. In among the confusion and death comes Elemer, once imprisoned in Caelid, seeking revenge on Godfrey and House Marais for the destruction of his homeland and the theft of his familial sword. But of course, Godfrey is gone, Marais is fled and Shaded Castle is in ruins. But he finds the icons of Malenia and discovers a new prospect for revitalizing his own shattered kingdom. But before anything comes of that we come along and kill him. So why are there cleanrots there? We only find them in the keep. We find one coming out of the elevator leading to the dining hall where Elemer waits. Did they not care about his rampage through the castle? Was Elemer just a charming conversationalist? I'd say that they were there as envoys. Possibly stragglers of Malenias army, possibly sent there on explicit orders. Either way, I think Elemer was in talks with the cleanrots. But the cleanrots found themselves stuck when the Rold lift was disabled. So they've just been chilling there ever since. Elemer preparing for his revenge against Godfrey and the cleanrots just kinda... rotting?

I think he’s being unfair here. Yes malenia has done some objectively bad things like nuking caelid and spareing godrick. But the state of the haligtree, the shaded castle and the rot cult aren’t her fault, more so a by product of the scarlet rot inside her. Blaming her for that, when she had no control over any of that, would be like blaming her for existing since the only way she could have stop that would be by not being alive. Also his point on malenia abandoning Miquella are just not true. When we first enter her fight she mentions how she’s been dreaming for a long time. Implying she has been unconscious/sleep for a long time. Probably since her fight with Radhan. It was also most likely during her time unconscious that the haligtree started to rot. The golden needle that had been holding back the rot had been removed and left in caelid.
@CorpseTornado Жыл бұрын
She didn't look for Miquella because she needed her pride back, the golden needle questline. The twins are like the yin-yang koi fish, always circling, never combining. He needed her to fight for him, and she needed him to think for her. As in he failed due to Mohg, he couldn't fight, he needed his other half. She couldn't deal with the rot without her needle, which she intentionally broke while fighting Radahn (wrong choices), and afterwards needed the needle fixed or replaced, which only her other half can do. They split in the womb back to red and silver, the union failed because Queen Marika and RedHairMan#2 wasn't the correct formula. Miquella's Silver and Godwyn's Gold however... I think Godwyn's heart (Gold) and Miquella's soul (Silver) (Gen2Pokemon!) is what Marika wants to try. Right because the red hair, the curse, went to Malenia from her dad, Radagon. So Marika thought that on the Eclipse she could sacrifice her other children to put Miquella's soul into Godwyn's body. Ranni fucked this up, which is why Marika's assassins are after her. And now Miquella wants his brother to "please die a true death..." so I can use you for the ritual. Marika has clogged up the soul wheel to turn everyone into either soldiers or fodder for the sacrifice. Thankfully you can: Go to Caelid and get the Berserk sword. Then realize that this guy who everyone loves is actually a villain who wants to control spiritual trees to bring himself armies consisting of all the neglected races of the world. We're getting Berserked. Great insight on the travels of Finlay, I never thought of that. And great video as always.

I feel like the fight between malenia and radahn is more of her acting as "the blade of Miquella" than her getting cocky after beating godrick I feel like her whole deal is just in general serving Miquella, also I think Miquella planned the stealing of themselves is a potential thing, one of Miquellas main traits is using other people's obsession with them to their own advantage which seems like it would be something big but doesn't really come into play in confirmed cannon I think

@niklaspeter2568 Жыл бұрын
What's interesting is that malenia rejected the rot cult followers. I think that she had a vague idea of the consequences of the rot nuke and that she was so devoted to miquellas cause that she was willing to use the rot if necessary. As for why she is found waiting for miquella to return, I think she may have been searching for him but couldn't find him and eventually gave up. So in her hope that he might still be alive she decided to wait for him at the haligtree. Alternatively she may have been sleeping until the tarnished came in. To me it makes sense that malenia wasn't locked away. Her power was way too great and dangerous to give her a reason to turn against the golden order. Instead marika had malenia be trained by the blind swordsman to control the rot. Her quote to have never known defeat, to me sounds more like self assuring that beeing pushed to use the scale bloom was not a loss. Which millicent confirms that malenia very much does. All in all I think malenia is a morally almost neutral character. Her worst trait I think is her blind loyalty to her brother.

I'm not sure why so many people simp for Radhan and say "he was the only good one. He did nothing wrong. Melania had no reason to fight him. Blahdy blahdy blah blah *insert more BS here*" Radhan is not a good guy. He started a war to try and take lyndell for starters. He also used his gravity magic to screw up the stars. This started issues on two fronts. It screwed over his own sister, Ranni, by blocking her fate or whatever. It also screwed over Miquella, and also Godwyn by proxy, and everyone else counting on Miquella and the Haligtree. Miquella needed the Eclipse, but Radhan is why it didn't happen. That's why the people at castle Sol think they failed and didn't pray hard enough, but it was radhan fault all along, because the SUN is a STAR! and if you stop the stars, you stop the eclipse! That is probably Melania went for home. Its the only thing that makes sense because Melania and Miquella weren't after runes or power. If they wanted runes or power, she wouldn't have let godrick live, she would have killed him and taken anything she could have, including his rune. Plus she probably would have gone for Morgott over Radhan if she only wanted power. She had a purpose in going for Radhan, who might i also remind you was the furthest away from the Haligtree. I mean, not 100% of this is stated outright, but its all there plain as day if you connect the dots we do have. Radhan fucked around and found out. I'm glad that giant jackass got his brain melted by rot. He got what he deserved. I feel bad for his horse though, the poor thing. But yeah Radhan is my 3rd most hated demigod, behind child moghlester at #2, and Godrick at #1.

I honestly take the bloom outside of her room as indicating that she had to bloom a second time to defeat her teacher who would've come to kill her to prevent the rot god from returning. I mean if anyone other than rahdan or us would be capable of pushing her to bloom it'd be the guy that put the og rot god down. Plus she becomes malenia goddess of rot in her second phase so lore wise that'd mean she'd have to have bloomed a second time earlier before us. That and I believe the envoys are there to welcome in her era since she turns into a literal god in your fight against her and she most likely canonically walks out of that fight as a god having killed us and her brother is nowhere near the tree so they can't be there to herald in his age since he's in his older half bros special dungeon for happy fun time if you catch my meaning

I think the reason why Malenia isn't out looking for Miquella is the same reason none of the Halitree forces were out looking for Miquella: Mogh didn't take Miquella by force Miquella sought out his aid when Miquella's plan with the Haligtree fell through like how his plan with the eclipse failed. I mean we're told that the Haligtree was to be a safe haven for the Albanaurics but when we get there, there are none to be found (save for Latena maybe) but you find plenty of 2nd Generation Albanaurics hanging around Mohg's place.

Wording is always interesting and I always found it odd that there were only albinaurics in the snowfield both first and second gen but then it donned on me, Loretta description calls it the land of the haligtree so maybe it just meant the snowfield. I don't think miquella went with mohg of his own free will. There's basically nothing to suggest that and I know I like to have wild theories from time to time, I don't see miquella as being willing to submit to the formless mother when he was tryna do his own thing with the haligtree, but that's just my opinion I honestly love all theories and interpretations of this stuff because we have no definitive answers
@Terminalsanity Жыл бұрын
@@TheHonoredMadman I'm honored by the reply. I can't say that I have proof of my theory it just explains and fits many of the little details we're presented with, like how none of Miquella's forces are out looking for him, how there seems to be no signs of a fight at the Haligtree where he was taken why many of the young Albanaurics are working with/for Mogh now, you even have a ghost of a noble bemoaning near the teleporter to Mogh's strong hold that Mogh has Miquella but no else seems to be trying to get him back. I just look at it this way Miquella had his plan with the eclipse fall through and then his sworn sword and champion Malenia seemingly gives in the Rot Goddess and blooms possibly dying as far as he knows definitely much closer to be claimed by the Goddess and maybe it was starting to look like the Haligtree was never going to reach maturity just like Miquella himself. In such a desperate hour I can see Miquella reaching out to Mogh to make some semblance of his vision (interesting that burning beast blood cures scarlet rot no?)to come to fruition even if it means resorting to the formless mother and putting up with Mogh's unwanted affections which he will never return. What can I say I get of lot of Griffith from Berserk vibes and that's totally a Griffith move. Let's just say if we get Miquella DLC where he emerges from his cocoon I won't be too surprised if he looks a moth/butterfly themed version of Fempto.

Gowry is interesting. I assume these are just normal pest taking on the form of a dead person in order to facilitate the 3 blooms. This kind of comes from seeing the three fingers and Shabriri + Hyetta. Irina is found at the entrance to the weeping peninsula. Only after her death does Hyetta spawn. Same thing can be said about Shabriri. He only spawns after Yura would have died taking his form, the same with Irina -> Hyetta. It seems like Shabriri being a higher level servant or Vassal of an outer god can take on the form of dead people, using their likeness and flesh. I wonder if we could extend this power to other outer gods? If so the outer god of rot might be able to bestow this onto a pest to play the part as Gowry. The question becomes whos form is the pest using? It could be a random sage of Sellia or it could be the form of the blind swordsman. I only include the blind swordsman as an option because using the form of the guy who locked you away seems ironic enough for an outer god to do. This could also be Melinas connection to the gloom eyed queen. She seems to have died before meeting us or can only appear at sights of grace (or near the erdtree since she can be summoned for the Morgott fight.) + Her burn marks. Concerning Melina this is more something I've just thought about, the rest with Shabriri ability to take the form of Irina (Hyetta) and Yura connecting to how the pest can take on the form of Gowry is still a out there theory but I've thought about it more.
