You speculating about an evergaol being some sort of “spectral blanket” makes the shroud over the erdtree even more interesting to speculate about

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ab-hx8qe]

You sound exactly like someone who would be a voice actor for one of the characters. Makes the lore feel all the more authentic. By the way love the cosplay too!

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.

[@Kageravager]

I think that this might be the first ER lore video that I've seen in a long while that explores the Albinauric species/ culture *exclusively*. Also it's cool to see more of your cosplay! My friends always compliment how well-done they look!

[@wispfire2545]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYLdZahmlJqGp6c&ab_channel=SmoughTown I'd like to recommend Soughtown's video on albinaurics then. He has some good lore points aswell.

[@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).

[@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.

[@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

[@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 :)

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

[@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.

[@Shermanator7017]

you just autoplayed while I was gaming so I can't take any credit for discovering you. That being said you have one of the softest, calming, beautiful voices I've heard in a while and the lore is spot on keep it up loved the listen.

[@Yottenburgen]

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

[@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.

[@Kilmoran]

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.

[@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.

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. So this is like gold for me, checks 3 boxes, asmr, elden ring, and discussing the latenna questline. Just found the channel already like what I'm seeing. I love the costume, very cool.

[@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.

[@soft-llama1530]

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!!

[@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.

[@happyhappy85]

Ah I've finally found my favorite Elden Ring Lore channel. I see a lot of them and many of them are amazing, but you really know how to tell a story. I love your voice as well, you'd actually suit doing voice work for Fromsoft games. Very relaxing and soothing English accent. A nice juxtaposition that some characters have in comparison to the harsh environment of the games. Thanks for this. I find it hard to piece tobegher the story of these games even when it's right in your face. This really helps to break it down.

[@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.

[@Errol246]

[@kalebscarminach8807]

Chalice looks like a different person in this cosplay. She puts a lot of effort into those.

[@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)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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:))

[@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?

[@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.

[@Hoscue]

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

[@salvahazana7629]

I just recently finished the game after about 90 hours and did every quest during my playthrough. I have to say that it was such a delight to stumble upon your channel with all these in depth videos. It feels like the story is reopening once again when i watch your videos. I now watch/listen to your videos before going to bed. Really appreciate them.

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

[@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!!

[@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. Really appreciate the effort you go through for these 🙏 Edit: I always thought Castle Sol and the connection between Miquella and Godwyn. I hope they explore it more in the DLC

[@ABrickinTime]

@miss_chalice thank you for the video. If Loretta is not an Albinauric, I wonder if she might just not have use of her legs and therefore identifies with the plight of its people and the struggles of being differently-abled, her position of power being used as a way to lead them to a safe haven like the Haligtree.

[@jezerrodriguez4131]

I love falling asleep to these videos thank you for all the great content

[@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.

[@Adones09]

1st) Wow, ER has such a deep lore, wonderful world building. 2nd) Thank you for breaking this all down and explaining it all to us (also in costume!).

[@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 🤷‍♂

[@jonsotbh1565]

[@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.

[@Nicklovin1337]

I loved the video, your cosplay is great! I always believed the albinaurics in Moghwyn were the ones who got to the wrong teleporter in the consecrated snowfield and ended up underground, poor fellas

[@dp1109]

I think the Nox were using hosts. They likely weren't creating the Albinaurics out of thin air. The Nightfolk were prob the base host for the first gens. The second gens were perhaps created using a Basilisk. The red second gens not only have red skin but also have Omen horns, so I believe this is an environmental mutation. The Dragonkin Soldier was created using a troll which is pretty clear to me.

[@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

[@nevernever2002]

I don't know if you are familiar with Berserk, Miss Chalice, but the stories, lore and themes shared are heavy. From the cocoon, the eclipse, the false hope of a new tree/world order resting on the shoulders of a beautiful boy willing to sacrifice anyone and anything to achieve it. People who want to be selfless vs people who want to appear selfless and all the gray areas in-between. Anyway the cosplay, lewds and lore dives is such a unique blend of nice things, thanks for the content once again :v

Love this video! Would love to hear your take on the Gloam Eyed Queen in the future 💜

[@cedricparsons2399]

Dunno if anyone has mentioned this, but the "soulless demi-gods" are also how the headless corpses found in the mausoleums are referred to. I realise there's evidence enough to support a link between Miquella, Godwynn and Castle Sol, but it's worth considering that whole aspect throws a spanner into the theorycraft.

[@algorithmicabyss4150]

I know this is quite late, and a bit of a tangent, but I would like to raise the point about Loretta and the Carian knights The Carian family is willing to take pretty much anyone regardless of their general social status if they are strong and willing to swear an oath of loyalty. We see this in the dragons and trolls fighting on their side, trolls who were otherwise going to be treated as slaves or otherwise shunned for their giant blood were allowed join the Carians as knights So Loretta might really be an Albinauric or raised by them and it could be of lesser concern to the Carians then you might expect, since she proved to be strong and willing to serve.

[@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?

[@galaxsija4591]

great job. wonderful storytelling and I had something in my eye there at the end

[@zeterzero4356]

Thanks for the video and insights. These guys are very interesting and mysterious. This did make me think though, what if Loretta wasn't a albinauric, but was mobility challenged like them, thus feeling compassion for their plight of immobility. I like the idea that, even without full use of her legs, she still became one of the strongest of the Carian knights, but also knew physical shortcomings or origins shouldn't determine a person's perceived potential. Maybe that was why she went to such lengths to help the albinaurics: because she knew what it was like to struggle and saw how much worse they had it than even herself.

You and Latenna both have the nicest vocies! She's one of the best and most helpful NPCs for sure. Great video as always MissC

[@ahmedrabie4491]

I am gratefull that I found this channel, I ever rarly comment on anything on social media, but you have a great talent of narrating and your calm voice and dedication for the theme plus the lore explainaing was just perfect. your channel deserves more recognetion than this. Thanks for real.

[@gdmystic5766]

Your effort towards cosplay is outstanding! Great job as always.

[@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!

[@UltiNateum]

Always a good day when the chalice is here

[@skybluebrad2781]

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

[@timothyuniversecat5525]

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.

[@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.

[@TheBrixHub]

What armour set are you using in this video on the in-game character? It's a really good mix of armour pieces :)

[@GroundbreakGames]

Literal chills when I saw that she could ride on the back of random wolves and take control of them. This game never ceases to amaze me in some new way after years of playing it now.

[@awendigowithinternetaccess4400]

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

[@gammarayrjs]

you've so strongly become my favourite fromsoft lore youtuber, i love this video thank you for freezing for the lore

[@Drodz1030]

I didn’t realize gideons armor was covered in ears I thought that was extra flavor ruffles that’s actually super cool

[@kikyo2462]

I really loved this video. Your hard work and efforts truly show, thank you again 🖤 you bring elden ring to life in more ways than one!

[@rasnauf]

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.

[@NorthstriderGaming]

Latenna is my personal favourite summon for she can destroy anything from far away. I keep the attention of whatever boss I'm fighting and she just keeps dealing damage. Love this specially when fighting with dragons. I'm glad I found your channel because you do really clear evidence-based digging into the lore unlike the 'paragons' of the scene who keep writing science-level assays about every oh so small detail. So thank you for your work and visual presentation of the videos :)

[@juangooseman]

My favorite summon so glad to see another onr of your videos. Latenna has always been an interesting character willing to be a summon to serve her journey.

[@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.

[@Anubis.6256]

Your voice is butter, I wish you made calm reading videos to fall asleep to....

[@violetbliss4399]

As always, interesting! Loretta is one of those mysteries I wish answered the most. It feels like there should be enough to puzzle it out, but it feels just tantalizingly out of reach. I guess one thing about her could be that she is also supposed to be the unknown knight trope that is so enjoyed, including by GRRM. Maybe nobody knows that she is an albinauric, because she never showed enough of herself. I doubt we'll hear of her in the DLC, but she must have known Miquella so maybe.

[@midvvolf]

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

[@duckhead014]

( 25:22 ) So the dudes who were at one time loyal to castle sol were trying to resurrect godwin were slayed by a dude who by his prosthesis description "offered this prosthesis in exchange for the lives of defeated knights held prisoner"... he was probably gifted this prosthesis by miquella at some point and was just trying to get back to him... by whatever means necessary. This kind of explains the horrible torture, but the albinaurics in castle sol do a very unique thing, they SCREAM to alert the knights that are in service of Niall to come get you, so not only are they tortured, it seems like they also are brainwashed into assisting their captor by being the alarm bells for his knights... Godwin gave it to the albinaurics and split in half in advance, and put it in the far-reaching locations intentionally, and the albinaurics at castle sol were enslaved, etc., but then when Niall wanted to get back, couldn't. As always, LOVE the video, LOVE the cosplay, and absolutely LOVE the attention to detail!
