Must have a bigger heart than you realize!

[@camerontroscianiec5320]

I have a theory. It's gonna be a bit of a yap session so strap in. Even if you meet Gurranq, and give him 8 deathroot, he still has the sane dialogue, as if he doesn't know you. It's only when we give him the 9th, and we receive our Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, that he plays his new dialogue. Why was he in possession of one of these stones though? It makes a good reward, and we could leave it at that. Reading Ancient Dragon Smithing stone reveals that ancient dragon scales have the ability to "lightly twist time." So what I think, is that Maliketh was sent to the bestial Sanctum after the rune of death was stolen, but he was also (with the rune of death) kept in Farum Azula. I think that he was given this stone so he could exist in two times, one punished, ever to hinger Deathroot, and the other, a sentinel for Destined Death. And when Gurranq gives us the Smithing Stone, his two selves reconverge, no longer split in two "timelines" and is memories converge, recognizing us when we face him. Law of Regression states all things return to what they were, and so he returned, and unfortunstely has to fight us

[@davidela9022]

I like that explanation

[@snowdrop2972]

I seriously wish we could talk to some of the bosses instead of fighting them if you did their associated quests(Malekith and Malenia being the main ones because I want to give them hugs dammit), like if you finish Millicent's questline you could talk the Malenia about looking for/finding Miquella and fighting Mohg together, or you know just continue to chat with Malekith instead of taking his rune, basically you have to go through specific quests and don’t get their associated runes, but they still live is a nice tradeoff in my opinion or if after the quests if you get them to low hp you can trigger a conversation instead of killing them so you still have to work for it.

@@cosmicbilly Typical miyazaki plot foil to make lore buffs struggle to stitch everything together (and to leave some stuff to the imagination) Dark Souls had something similar with the Oolacile legend, where the legend states the Knight Artorias defeated Manus and sealed the Abyss away thus saving the kingdom but it was the Chose Undead, the player character who goes back in time and defeats Manus in its prime, also defeating Artorias to ensure the legend remains so.

​@@mr.spinoza Farum Azula's time is messed up which is why killing Maliketh doesn't kill Gurranq

[@mr.spinoza]

@@monke742 I know people say either "Farum Azula is the past" or whatever, but that doesn't make sense because how would Maliketh know that you gave him deathroots then? You give the deathroots to his "future self" and his past self knows this? I doubt it.

Each pause is a sting to the heart

My psychotic tarnished, holding his chime made of all the bell bearings of merchants he has collected: "Be lucky you don't take runes."

[@DasNagi]

Malekth is honestly such a sad character, he was made to be a shadow, extremely loyal, betrayed by the child of the woman he was sworn to protect (once you know the secret) and then again is torn down by the tarnish who helped him reclaim destined death only to perish with not even a “thank you, you did your best” from grace.

They're not the same person. Not... really. ***MAJOR SPOILERS*** Gurranq is a sort of inverse reflection of Maliketh, Empyrean shadow of Marika, that manifested when she became/facilitated the advent of Radagon. Marika Maliketh || || Radagon Gurranq This is both why Gurranq is present in his sanctum after Maliketh's defeat and why Maliketh is able to recognize us inside of Farum Azula. Despite a lot of convoluted headcanon, that part of FA _can't_ be "outside of time;" if it were, Maliketh's defeat would have no effect on the Erdtree and FA's boss would never have the knowledge of our interactions to be able to recognize us in the first place. I like the idea of them being the same character, but it just doesn't line up.

As cool as this sounds it’s the first time anyone has said something like this. I remain skeptical ☺️

[@Headman_the_one]

I got this one it was weird seeing him as a boss and him talking like that

[@scrunglodubus1701]

the way you can even hear his voice quiver, he truely felt betrayed

[@aleeeeee-b4g]

“i hereby vow” you will rue this day

[@enoenthehero]

"I'm sorry you had to see this side of me Rover"

[@Ginfeldi]

big loyal dog with tragic backstory that depending if you help him will recognize you but still fight to the death... where did i hear that before

[@dylansmith6078]

Gives the same vibes as "yorm, old friend. I, Siegward of Catarina, have come to uphold my promise. Let the sun shine on this lord of cinder"

[@kisukoev]

Poor Maliketh already had trust issues because of Marika, he's basically reliving his trauma

[@Shaw_gamez]

That makes two cute doggos with swords which you kill mercilessly that recognize you... R.i.p. sif

[@ethanosborn989]

That second “why” hits so hard bro

[@applejesus1293]

It’s crazy how this game is 2 years old and there’s still stuff I haven’t seen/heard before
