[@exiledark6573]

I think everyone is missing the inherent insult in calling Gideon the “all-hearing”. He claims to be all-knowing but since he never leaves the Roundtable Hold, he’s not all-seeing since he never sees anything himself. All his knowledge comes from secondhand information from Tarnished. Thus he’s simply the all-hearing. He hears the stories of others and then pretends to know everything.

[@ASlopedRoof]

Well he glimpsed into marikas soul (same japanese kanji for will), and was knighted by her, hence his sir name. In other words, despite his knowledge coming from tarnished and his on purpose age/death and rebirth, and the fingers, she also told him in some way about her endgame of a tarnished destroying the order and merking gods left and right.

[@erikreber3695]

I thought the scarabs we kill along the way were his spies? That might have just been a theory passed around but it made sense to me so I subscribe to it.

[@lilramennoodle8056]

Basically vaati, he is just an all hearing

[@naitorain]

​@@lilramennoodle8056Vaati is all-reading

[@HyBound]

It can also be interpreted that he hears all but doesn’t retain/know it.

[@NeoDMC]

I really wish completing Latenna's quest upgraded her summon to also include her wolf to ride. Since people discovered that Latenna is already programmed to mount a wolf if one is nearby, it would be easy to just add a friendly dire wolf to also spawn in when you summon her. Come on Fromsoft Latenna and Lobo deserve to be reunited!

[@colt4505]

Great idea, although she'd be pretty damn OP that way 😅

[@austinbarnes3080]

Right? You have to get all the way to basically the end of the game for her quest, so why not be rewarded with an (arguably) OP summon.

[@miss_chalice]

That is a really nice idea! Maybe you could somehow combine the Lone Wolf ashes that you get early on, with Latenna's ashes. Like you said, they already have the combat AI. Man that would be a powerful spirit

[@panzer00]

"It would be easy" make your own game.

[@y0unglink763]

The Elden Ring Reforged Mod for the game does this! It feels wonderful to complete her quest, and then be rewarded with the Latenna and Lobo spirit ash.

[@silvereyedlionking21]

Idk why but hearing a calm and soothing voice saying "gives you time to square up" is both adorable and hilarious at the same time

[@AutismGaming489]

As a Fia simp, I feel bad for the Albinaurics more than those who live in death. It’s probably because there are friendly albinauric NPCs. It’s unfortunate that there is no friendly spooky skeletons and no friendly omens.

[@urbanexotic]

I bet the Tibia Mariners are really chill one you get to know them.

[@GregoryMcStevens]

[@Memu_]

​@@GregoryMcStevensWho is "we"? D can go to hell for all I care

[@Nothingseen]

The skeletons have no will. That's the whole point, their soul is gone but their body lives on because it can't go back to the erdtree cause Godwyn's body, which is dealing with the same problem, is blocking the roots. There aren't any friendly skeletons because skeletons are just walking bones. They have no soul.

[@KDB349]

​@@NothingseenI respectfully disagree. They must feel something otherwise Fia wouldn't fight so hard for them. What's more I definitely remember seeing skeletons run away and cower in fear when I came by. There's something present.

[@wispfire2545]

[@sinfell7254]

Great video as usual, Latenna is definitely one of my favorite NPC’s. Side note though, I believe The All-hearing brute that she talks about is actually Ensha of the Royal Remains, who also slaughtered the village under Gideon’s command. A cool theory I read once was that Ensha is actually Gideon’s puppet, since it has been stated through the description of “Dolores the Sleeping Arrow Puppet” that Seluvis and Gideon were once friends. Just a cool theory I thought I’d share.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Plus, he seems like the kind of creep to have a puppet, IMO. He has a bunch of cronies, why wouldn’t he have a puppet or two?

[@miss_chalice]

I do agree that nickname could also apply to Ensha. The All-Knowing and The All-Hearing; what a dynamic duo! Ensha being a puppet is also totally plausible, especially since I believe one of the main traits of puppets is that they can't speak. And Ensha never says anything. Nice point!

[@crocodilerock4662]

They *would* be friends

[@thinlizzy9032]

omg i never noticed that detail about the transparent legs in the albinauric village! i'm always amazed at the level of detail miyazaki puts in his games and even really subtle ones like that that are easy to miss but once you *do* notice them it blows your mind and raises a lot of questions about why that detail is in the game.

[@JaguarBST]

I always complete Latenna’s quest on all my play throughs. Not because I want the somber ancient dragon smithing stone but because it’s one of those rare quest in Elden ring that ends on a positive note. Also, because I find her voice hauntingly beautiful.

[@Martin-lm8xp]

I like to think that Loretta had lot of sympathy toward Albinaurics, because Carian family was more open minded for different beings. Their ancestors lived in peace with giants. Carians had trolls and dragons allied with them. Trolls served as knights and advisers. If Loretta was an albinaric then maybe she was allowed to be a knight just like trolls? They are not Erdtree zealots who hates what is not from the tree etc. In case of Academy i guess different groups of sorcerers might have different views on Albinaurics. Just like they have different views on forms of magic. Btw, fact that 1 gen Albinaurics can't walk reminds me of Rennala's artificial children. They don't have legs.

[@rayofsunshine629]

And the artificial children Renalla is surrounded by all sing beautifully - which is an interesting contrast to the mute amphibians.

[@NedStarrk007]

Yea I totally agree!!! This is the one thing in the video I didn’t quite connect with. If anything the greatest Carian knight setting off to find gen 1 a home probably shows they weren’t torturing a bunch of Albinaurics. Maybe that’s why the Academy seemed to not really like Rennala controlling them????

[@__lim494]

The Karian royal family deserves respect. They played against the Radagon in their prime. Even without the help of Outer God! They even treated trolls, Albinaurics, and dragons without discrimination. Their prime must have been beautiful.

[@insertedgynamehere___969]

The Red Alburnurics also have what appears to be omen Horns growing out the top of their heads. It seems they've pledged themselves to Mohg at some point. Probably through a similar manner to Okina's Sword: Rivers of blood. Or us, and other tarnished, that pledged themselves to Mohg

[@ex-creaturecoby4643]

Yeah there’s a portal in the snowfields somewhere near some frog like ones that is covered in blood. It takes you to his palace.

[@jayjasespud]

I don't think they're omen horns. I think they're pincers as they turn into ants. They're in Mogh's domain because Mogh is either 1) obsessed with Miquella or 2) controlled by Miquella.

[@GabrielBourque-i2j]

there’s speculations that the red alburnurics mistakenly took the portal to mohg instead of the haligtree and now they are stuck there suffering

[@alexsantiago3181]

Wow I never encountered Latenna, what an amazing questline. The albinurics were always a very intriguing and tragic race. But they connect so many more dots than I wouldve ever thought in my first few playthroughs. Also interesting how Nepheli is interested as well as Loretta, in being kind to the Albinurics and helping them find a home.

[@Wolfspined]

Your videos are special. Cosplaying, dying your hair, your research, the way they're laid out logically and your beautifully calm voice all make for something as transcending as Elden Ring deserves.

[@nickytheanimal2413]

I think it’s a wig I hope she didn’t dye her hair for this

[@CodeeXD]

Wigs don't exist lol

[@adjuchasbrokk8033]

My own personal theory I've been spreading around is that the first generation were created by the Carians (Descendants of the Nox peoples who were closely connected with the silver tears - which themselves are seemingly perfect copies of what they mimic). The second gen were labourers produced by the Mages of Raya Lucaria. Finally, the Albanaurics found at the Volcano manor were captured and experimented on, the product of this was the creation of the aggressive Abductor Vigrins (take a close look at the liquid silver snakes that grab you from inside and the silver ball they roll around on).

[@Yottenburgen]

'The torturer NO LONGER seeks answers' This for the black dumpling indicates that they were seeking answers and found none from that individual.

[@BigPapaMitchell]

That was so weird to hear Latenna after playing Baldurs Gate, I never actually found her in game and never heard her dialogue, only ever seen her talked about in lore videos and something about her voice immediately pinged something in my brain. Its Shart, our beloved :)

[@tagginondawal3961]

Your cosplay is absolutely beautiful! I remember on my first playthorugh I saw Latenna. I almost attacked her, but thankfully I didn't. Excellent video as always Miss Chalice!

[@liyummy785]

[@sweetpotatodato6068]

I adore Latenna so I've been hoping you'd do a vid on her. I really wish there could've been a part of her quest where you reunite her spirit with Lobo's.

[@JackisaMimic]

Loved the cosplay, it must have been a nightmare farming Ordina for that armor! Your camera work with the in game footage was excellent, I know its not easy trying to get the right shots for these things! For your section on the albinauric legs, there is another very important character you may have missed: Rennala and her sweetlings. It seems that rebirth via the Great Rune of the Unborn and Larval tears may have initiated an "Albinaurification" on her and her juveniles. Neither of them walk or stand on their feet, only the illusion of Rennala made by Ranni stands and fights properly. I wonder what the implications of this are?

[@LowIntSpecimen]

Could be that trying to play god, whether it be through creating artificial life like the Albinaurics, or through rebirth like the sweetlings, is always doomed to fail. That is, of course, unless you make use of the Rune of the Unborn like your character does.

[@Sikraj]

The Albinaurics always creeped me out. They had this sinister cuteness to them that just made so uneasy

[@monroerobbins7551]

Yeah, they’re like dolls that weren’t sold by manufacturers because of a minor mishap with the clay recipe, making the porcelain puddle and create long and thin limbs, instead of sturdy and wide ones.

It would have been awesome if Lobo actually faded away when you did that. No words. No music shift. No indication of anything... Maybe possibly the spirit summon particle effect, but that is it. Would have been a fantastic touch for a game full of fantastic touches.

Your voice is so asmr-y. Very relaxing and also I love elden ring and I've always been confused about the end of this quest with the giant lady.

you are one of the only youtubers I can watch that makes an hour feel like 20 minutes. It's been almost 2 years since I saw your first video and the attention to detail, quality of storytelling, and cosplays are consistently amazing and immersive. thank you for the content!!

[@lhaynes1970]

Great video. I cannot believe I noticed so little and know so much about a game I played for 16 months:)) You are adding so much more value to this game for me; it's so much deeper and complex than I ever imagined. I spent much of it baffled about what it all meant:))

[@ThePeteriarchy]

Fantastic video! Great to see these unfortunate souls getting such deep coverage on their lore. And the chain mail looks absolutely badass on you. I'm on my fourth run, at this point just using ER and Sekiro as wallpaper farms because their environments are both so gorgeous. But every time I make my way to the Haligtree and clear it out since Journey 2, I always feel like I'm committing a war crime. I feel especially bad for having to fight Loretta over and over, knowing what she had go through to even get to the Haligtree, assuming her and the Tarnished take the same path, on top of learning of her goals and her sympathy for the albinaurics from her gear set descriptions.

[@UngaPunga-LLC]

14:35 whoa, i never knew that. The attention to detail in this game is seriously insane

[@NickCombs]

Great video and costume! I think both generations of Albinaurics were made by Masters Azur and Lusat, and that this is what got them exiled from Raya Lucaria. There is an almost perfect thematic link between the primordial dew and the primeval current, as both are the life essence of the starlight, possibly both dealing with liquid as well. So their first and second generation status could be seen more as a first and second experiment by mad sorcerers who had somehow glimpsed and the primeval current without immediately turning into a graven mass. I also think that Sanguine Nobles warped a lot of Albinaurics to Moghwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, probably from the Rose Church. They likely lured them with the promises of purpose and love, just like we see with Varre. "Known to strike from pools of blood, these assassins are *missionaries come to share the gospel of accursed blood.*" And so the Albinaurics probably need to be injected with accursed blood as part of their inauguration.

[@Hoscue]

Choked up at "two halves, together again". What a beautiful tribute to Latenna and her people. Thank you for the video.

[@Tsuba_Nick]

Your videos have skyrocketed to my favorite Elden ring lore videos, and lore format overall tbh. I can’t begin to express how much I respect and love your attention to detail!! Not just from your script, cosplay and delivery of narration, but little elements like putting a filter for when you did the spirit in castle sol and so many other things that while not necessary per se you always go out of your way to incorporate into your video. Just know all your hard work is appreciated by many of us! Also, how do you manage to structure your script in such a way that remains so cohesive and easy to follow and enjoy?

[@Errol246]

That was the most wonderful Elden Ring lore video I've seen so far. I'm gonna have a good time watching all your videos now.

[@andreseh87]

Her vids are great! I am just getting back into Elden Ring and wow I'm so happy I found this channel.

[@OnyxTheGamingMachine]

Chalice, I have a question. What about the White Bubble boys? Do you think they might be related to Albinaurics too?

[@miss_chalice]

Yes! I am inclined to agree that there is some connection ! 1. They have similar body shape - long arms, small heads. 2. They bleed silver/white. 3. They don't (or can't) use their legs, spinning around on their rounded cloth base. 4. The wrapped cloth balls kind of look like cocoons, so they could be the transformed version of the Albinaurics after their hibernation. Just some of my quick thoughts! They are also mysterious beings, so thanks for your question!

[@amcname8789]

​@@miss_chalice Teeny little idea to build off that: Albinaurics are a servant (e.g slave) race, so them having a variety of forms artificially made for different roles would make sense. The envoys (which I believe are what the white robed creatures in Leyndell are called) could be a more. . .priestly caste perhaps? A servant to usher in the Greater Will's beliefs upon the resplendent once-noble-filled capital.

[@luminousazure]

​@miss_chalice to expand on this, they mention that there can be whimpering heard from inside the envoys head wrap, kind of parallel to the screaming of the black dumpling.

[@rayofsunshine629]

Could the musical instruments be a means of expressing themselves through sound when they otherwise can’t? (Second gen being mute)

[@Asianshea96]

As the DLC potentially approaches, one thing that hasn’t sat well with me are those Albinaurics in Castle Sol. Miquella is supposedly a champion to the outcasts, such as the Misbegotten and the Albinaurics, and yet there are imprisoned and tortured Albinaurics in Castle Sol. Unless the Castle occupants did this under Miquella’s nose, it hardly seems Miquella has the “outlasts” best interests in mind. Given that Miquella has received a lot of parallels to Griffith from Berserk and that both of them have a seemingly unnatural ability to compel loyalty, it wouldn’t surprise me if Miquella targeted these “outlasts” as sacrifices to be used for certain rituals (i.e. bringing about the Eclipse in Castle Sol). I know there’s probably not much hard evidence to support what I’m saying, but I used to believe that Miquella was a truly benevolent character in Elden Ring until I examined Castle Sol more throughly, and I started to question Miquella’s intentions. Looks like I was under his spell lol. Hopefully we get some answers with the DLC.

[@corndog3199]

You’ve got a good point, I haven’t thought about it like that!! I hope we get a DLC soon

[@liam2745]

Damn this was extremely accurate

[@shayanahmed7132]

Guess you were right.

[@joendeo1890]

To be fair to Miquella, it's his half-brother's castle/followers. Not his own. He could have given the seal to Godwyn. Godwyn then got killed. Then he hears that some of Godwyn's loyal knights were trying to revive him, and since Godwyn's death is leading to all the skeletons and such Miquella; without much information. Nominally supports the effort without knowing the details, because he is too busy dealing with his own stuff.

[@NewUser000NewUser]

I have insomnia and your videos are a blessing. Your smooth and relaxing voice is helping me to stop overthinking

[@daveymjohnson]

This is almost like being taught lore by a 'souls' character, brilliant. I've watched a few of your videos now, they make for good bedtime listening. I'd love to hear you dig up everything you can on the Elden Beast, as I found that along with the music 🎵 it was the most interesting creature in the game. Though I think the lore around it is very limited, making it of course more interesting.

[@simonriley4375]

I think that letenna trusts you because you don’t kill albus when meeting him even though you may think he is an enemy. You decide to do something for him even though you don’t know him, I think Philia is representing the theme of compassion and kindness and I think that the simple act of kindness by bringing the medallion to letenna shows that you are not an, uncaring brute, or scared of them, or hate them for existing, but a person surviving in a cruel world who still has enough room in their heart to be kind

[@marystone860]

Wow! I had no idea you can do that at the end for Latenna's Ashes! Definitely going to do that the next go around! It always bothered me a bit, that at the end of her Questline, you couldn't fulfill her final wish! Now, thanks to THIS, you can!

[@FenrisWolfblood]

Excellent video as usual, Miss Chalice. A thought occurred about the origin of the Albinaurics. We know the Night folk have the silver tears, which can mimic just about anyone. What if the Albinauric is a product of someone stealing or acquiring somehow whatever formula makes up the silver tears, and they used it to try to recreate and mass produce an army of super soldiers, say modelled from Loretta. The female variant were for the most part successful, but with the same affliction as Loretta. I don't quite know what the males would have been modelled after, but Pidia seems to be closest non-Albinauric character, so maybe he was involved in some way as a test subject to see if early experimentation would/could work. Once Pidia clones proved viable, they moved on to making Loretta clones.

[@TheAlphaLegionnaire]

But why didn’t the Albinaurics just whistle for Torrent to help them make the journey? 🤔🧐

[@Prince-bt3qs]

I'm looking forward to the video but I have to comment right away because holy shit that cosplay is so cool!!!! The detailing on the armor part is so nice.

Latenna is such a cool NPC and my favorite spirit summon dur to the fact that you actually befriend her and complete a full quest with her plus she willingly becomes a spirit ash

[@Breeze_E]

Watching your video made me think about Miquella's relationship with the albinaurics. We know at castle sol they were experimenting on albinaurics, as well as trying to find a way to revive godwyn. Maybe the two are connected? So the eclipse cult was experimenting on albinaurics to see how to get godwyn a new body? & if that's the case, maybe only Niall and the albinaurics having the two keys to the haligtree implies that albinaurics were being sent to castle sol instead of the haligtree to provide subjects for the experiments. So, another tragedy in the ablinaurics story, where Miquella betrays his promise to protect albinaurics in order to save his brother.

[@Hdhhdhdjfjdndndskmdjdjddjdjjd]

I allways thought the albinaurics where created by the college but then the various groups associated with the collage each taking the results of there experiment differently. For example the collage itself kicked them out and chose to mostly ignore them, while the volcano manor (once very closely aligned to the collage and the carrion family) chose to hunt them. And lastly the carrion family itself seems to of decided to use them as servants requardles of them being a failed experiment.

I love hearing you talk about Elden Ring lore so much. The only issue I have with it is I can't put it on in the background while I do something else because it inevitably becomes the center of my attention. I'd love it if you made an ASMR channel, no pressure if you don't want to though.

Woah! Latenna was already my favorite Spirit Summon, but the fact that she can ride hostile wolves makes her even better!

[@taylor99-w3o]

A very insightful video! Part of me hopes that Phillia will have more significance in the DLC, maybe even Latenna. I think it's also interesting (whether it has any significance I honestly don't know) that you can actually find the body of a first generation albinauric women near the Raya Lucaria Temple Quarter (I can update this comment if I find the exact location). You can loot some crystal rimed buds off of her but she's also surrounded by a bunch of second gen albinaurics. Again, I don't know how significant it is but I think it's interesting that in all of the game it's the only one you find outside the consecrated snowfields. It's as if she was either on her way to or from the village of the albinaurics or something. Great video again! hopefully DLC is here very soon!!

Amazing video, but even more amazingly, an enjoyable ad!🎉 As someone who literally has a degree in marketing, well done!!! ❤

[@LittlebigGladiator]

Thank you for the video ❤ Latenna was my ashes for most of my play through and I was always curious about her and her people. You didn’t disappoint.

Can’t believe Miss Chalice cut her own legs off to complete the cosplay. That’s dedication to the look.

[@EatMyVlogs]

I've watched people like Vaati for over 10 years at this point, literally since DS1 was still in its hay day. I honestly thought no one would ever be on par with his content when it came to storytelling and speculations but god damn you have raised the bar in your own right! He will always be the king of telling a straight up story in fromsoft games but you really have formed your own path here and made videos that cover the same topics but give new information or talk about it in a different light. Also cant knock the fact that you are an amazing cosplayer and your voice is the most soothing thing I've ever heard 🤷‍♂

A neat detail I’ve always liked it’s that the Albinaurics have Silver blood. The metal generally considered to be second only to Gold. So by their very blood they are either opossed (or second) to the Golden Order. While at the same time nobody bleeds Golden blood save for Elden Beast. So in a sense Albinaurics are closer to their own kind of divinity than the rest of the people who bleed common red blood.

So awesome to see just how much lore is in this game. Also just awesome to see how much time and effort you put into your videos! I would really love to see more details on Melina as she is just the biggest "?" for me.

Loretta is one (or should i say two) of my favorite fights in the entire game. As a Carian Knight build myself, with Scholar's Shield and Carian Slicer, it felt like the fantasy equivalent of a jedi duel

[@ripxdoc]

Man Chalice videos leave me so satisfied when i get to the end, like I've just been on a long adventure and come back the hero 😂 Thanks for being the best! Have a nice weekend.

[@brynvanhove5672]

i think it is more likely that the assasins were send to prtect the haligtree as lorretta was aquinted with ranni. and for protecting her she might've send black knifes to potect the albenaurics in turn.

[@Wveth]

Lovely video, thank you. I like to think Loretta is not an albinauric, but a Carian warrior whose legs were somehow crippled or paralyzed. As she learned to fight despite her disability, she started having a lot of empathy for the albinaurics due to their shared leg issue, which evolved into her being an advocate and eventually to join their fight entirely. I wonder if Loretta was called an albinauric herself as an insult, like "Oh, you love albinaurics so much and your legs don't work, so maybe YOU'RE an albinauric!" This is pure speculation of course, but that kind of thing has definitely happened in the real world.

OMG, 11:45 my father in law is literally in the hospital for DVT - related pulmonary embolisms. Going to start calling him "Lobo" when he gets out.

[@nafereuskortex9055]

43:45 My theory is simply that it was a first generation where they saw there was not enough growth, blood would clot and they would degrade, so the next generation they added growth, blood-flow and body mass so they ballooned up, a combination of the two, the frailty and degradation of the first generation and the over development of the second generation would create healthy Albinaurics.

[@multimediagamer]

Excellent video Chalice! Another thing of note about the 2nd Gen Albinaurics relates to the subset who patrol the area between eastern Ordina and a dead minor Erdtree. These guys possess gold-hued eyes and are even capable of using the Discus of Light incantation. What are your thoughts on this group?

[@skybluebrad2781]

51:10 That is so awesome! I never thought about the albinaurics being rebirthed in the Haligtree!!

[@kristopfer5788]

Love these videos! Glad to see an upload from you, it’s an automatic click, the lore is so sweet!
