Agree completely, this is indeed the best ending.

You guys said you would keep it a secret :((((

I'd fully accept all the shots of Miss Chalice to be replaced with a video of a literal snake

[@Toxima]

I’m convinced the proper and metered way ranni talks when you first meet her is her larping as renna and the more curt and haughty tone in mini doll form is how she really talks

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

Actually I think she gets it from renalla cause she talks the same way

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

The way she talks as a doll is her being a tsundere as she begins to trust you more and fall for you and whatnot.

[@anamggss]

@@thatoneblackdude3333 but isnt Rennala a bit mad? We might never know how she actually speaks

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

@@anamggss she spoke the same way during the boss fight which is supposed to represent who she used to be.

[@anamggss]

@@thatoneblackdude3333 Im still not sure abt that. From what I can tell the 2nd phase was just Ranni's illusiory representation of what her mother was before. What's stopping her from replicating Rennala's voice aswell?

[@merlin4392]

This was so brilliantly done and the dedication to the character while Cosplaying was really impressive. I really want to see you and this channel go far as this much dedication is few and far between but much appreciated.

[@miss_chalice]

thank you from the bottom of my heart. cosplay is my passion and being able to combine it with my newfound love of story-telling was very fulfilling for me! so glad that you can share this experience with me. your well-wishes are so appreciated, thank you!

[@lastknightofhonor8998]

Beat me to the compliment

[@paulopontovaz]

I agree with the compliment! Very detailed deep dives into the lore for those too lazy to read the items in the game like me ^^". Also, the cosplays seem really faithful to the characters. And, although I think there is a lot of content for Elden Ring, I wonder if you have plans to cover other games as well because I imagine that would be the way to grow the channel. Wish you lots of luck and success with the channel!

[@SavageGameHawk]

For real! Well done really awesome idea

[@wachyfanning]

Something interesting to note is that Ranni isn't the only one with forearms in this game. Pretty much every character with arms have forearms.

[@tylermech66]

Millicent only has one, so does Melania.

[@The3arthquake]

I see what you did there

[@CodeeXD]

​@@tylermech66 yeah but they still forearms

[@H41030v3rki110ny0u]

lol

[@gazelle_diamond9768]

@@CodeeXD Wrong, they have forearm.

[@thepoofster2251]

You actually kept your eye closed for all of this. Kudos, I can see the dedication, this is the kind of content that keeps the community alive

[@mr-x7689]

Not for all of it. There where moment's where she broke charracter and opened her eye. But it's exusable. It's super difficult keeping one eye closed for prolonged amount of time, as blinking is an instictual thing to do. And blink enough times and you will by reflex open the yey even tho you try not to.

[@miraiboy4522]

this dedication and this passion are just something else. Really well done!

[@miss_chalice]

Thank you, I love this game and cosplaying. Really happy you appreciate it !

[@DatFox89]

Not just Iji and Blaidd, but the often overlooked Bloodhound Knight Darriwil as well. I'm curious about his backstory and how/why he betrayed Ranni.

[@plantman1093]

He realised how op bloodhound fang was and wanted to become Elden Lord himself. He was right, that weapon is op.

[@Joe-ve9xz]

@DatFox i believe that bloodhound knights in the lore are loyal to their masters until death and so when ranni “died” he either left as his duty was complete and ranni imprisoned him (maybe cause of what he knows about the night of the black knives or to keep him from taking revenge) or he saw ranni as betraying him by killing her body so he was hostile towards her for killing his master.

[@gabez95]

@@plantman1093 😂😂😂

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

He could have just betrayed the bloodhounds and had nothing to do with Ranni.

[@humblekek-fearingman7238]

It's actually revealed in post-launch material that Darriwil's betrayal was more akin to a heresy, wherein, similar to Goldmask, he denied the fallible order or the Lands Between and made the fateful discovery that the Miniature Ranni doll was in fact, cuter in a maid outfit. This shattered the tenant that the Miniature Ranni doll was perfect as it was, and is the heresy which he was persecuted for. Is the Miniature Ranni doll perfect as it is, or, should we strive to put her in a maid uniform, or sailor uniform, as is the fickleness of man? That is for you to decide.

[@jiririnagl302]

First time meeting Ranni in the game was such a magical moment, btw you are amazing.❤️

[@miss_chalice]

It really was! And thank you!

[@ReissK02]

How hard was I keeping one eye closed the whole video?😂

[@miss_chalice]

SO HARD OMG you can see my eye flickering. Sometimes I forgot and you see I just open it. I stay commited as much as possible 😂

[@johnclarke7626]

That was charming. Your lore- and philosophy-guided approach is heartwarming. I don't want to BEAT the game, I want to LIVE the game. I'm so glad I discovered your channel.

[@one_schizfreud]

The dolls just have four arms, they were used as body guards for high ranking mages, renna was special and had her doll made to look like her (the snow witch clothing has two sleeves) Ranni now has inherited all rennas suff including her mantle but no longer has her oun body

[@evanoliveras3771]

Excellent video! You can tell you put a lot of effort into this cosplay and the lore.

[@miss_chalice]

thank you! i do try my best and really happy that you can see that :)

[@lysander3262]

Ranni and Cortana: Two blue skin girls who both chose dear consorts favored by fortune.

[@TheAshHeritor]

Great video, and great cosplay, as usual! I think Ranni's four-arms are most strongly connected to the Wraithcallers. The clues lie within the Moonfolk Ruins, which are found near the Cathedral of Manus Celes (which, as you said, is a pivotal location in her questline). The Moonfolk Ruins are infested by Wraithcallers. Thus, I think the Wraithcallers were once called Moonfolk, and given this place's location and its association with Ranni, I believe that the Snow Witch (aka Renna) was one of the Moonfolk. Perhaps the Moonfolk once had bluish skin, perhaps they worshiped the stars? We cannot know, of course. But at some point, I believe these Moonfolk became cursed, and became the Wraithcallers. As you said, the similarities between their magic and Ranni's is uncanny, but their magic does bear the golden/blackish color of deathblight. Perhaps the curse that befell the Moonfolk and transmogrified them might have its origins with the events that Ranni herself precipitated; the very murder of Godwyn. It's an interesting thought, though I don't believe there is much more than this speculative "evidence" to go off of. If you, or anyone else has any thoughts on the matter, I'd be interested to hear it.

[@ElgrimTheElder]

A full video in cosplay!? You’re insane!! Awesome content as always. You’re killin it

[@miss_chalice]

IM CRAZY !! haha thank you seriously, I hope I can do more like this

[@aquelesousa]

First things first, i loved your dedication in developing a new form of storytelling in your channel. It's neither a literal narration in third perspective of what happened, neither is a literal reading in form of conversation with your public, but now a very good mix of both ways of story telling. I enjoyed that in the previous video and I loved the execution in this one too. Better paced, better narrated, better edited and an actual better composition of the overall. Thank you for such a dedication, the results were a great video, very entertaining, a good experience indeed. The extra that I was not expecting and indeed showed how much dedicated your were and gave an extra touch to the video: the cosplay. Everybody already said, you already knows that and you entrusted yourself by showing us, but it's amazing, it really composed well the whole video, very well made, nothing out of place. Good work.

[@aquelesousa]

Also, one more thing: I don't know if it was on purpose or it's something that the community isn't talking much about it, but i find it curious to see how you didn't showed more about Ranni being responsible for the night of the Black Knifes and by consequence being the one responsible for killing Godwyn. Now I can't remember if this dialogue is still there or is something that my mind is making up (I need to check if the japanese version stays true to that also) by she even confirms it being the responsible for his murder. Which is something that always bugged my mind when it comes to Ranni's ideals surrounding the Golden Order and the Big Picture of the relationship between Marika and the Golden Order. Although it would make sense, I always found that to be rather... strange. Not bad written, certainly I can see reasons for her to do that - after all, Godwyn was kind of a symbol within the Royal Family, but rather strange. And I totally agree with the end of the video: her ending is the closes to a Happy Ending in this game, she now carry a possible opportunity for this world to be in better hands when it comes to the Natural Order of the world.

[@OhNehNee]

i think your recaps of character lore are the best on the market. from organization to voice to pacing. the cosplay skills is just a cherry on top. great content

[@jonimated]

This is wonderful. The additional effort certainly does not go unappreciated. Thank you for continuing to do these videos.

[@miss_chalice]

And your comment does not go unnoticed. Seriously your nice words make it all worth it! Thank you !

[@Nonzeromist67]

I love your commitment to the lore-play haha love all your content, I've been watching all your videos lately and they have re-vitalised my love for the lore with your unique takes and research!

[@joshwest8882]

I love how this game takes elements from the previous games and spins them into something new. We can all theorize that they are connected Yet this game stands alone as the true vision Like different religions melding together and retold as one

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

That's what they always do at Fromsoft.

[@jacethejouster8783]

I'm so proud of you for sticking with this! Doing great as usual.

[@otaviomendes4428]

This was beautiful! Please make a video for each character of this questline. It's very inspiring to see them under this light.

[@palex1614]

LOV all the effort you put on Rannis lore; the cosplay, the illumination, trying maintain one eye closed haha (favorite) . Awesome video!!! And congratulations for your first sponsor. Regards

[@drithos]

Amazing video! It's great to listen to your speculations, and your dedication shows and I can't wait for your next video! If I may suggest something, maybe about Melina, with her interesting parallels to Ranni and more importantly all the nebular lore around her. Also, congrats on getting that first sponsor!

[@SunsetRo]

your videos are so chill and fun, thank you! a great way to unwind after a long day

[@Voimandiimon]

Wow, great effort and awesome job! First time here, and wouldn't have been surprised if there'd have been a million subscribers already - was more surprised that there weren't (yet)!

[@KyokujiFGC]

Also bears mentioning that Ranni's actual body can be found at the top of one of the Divine Tower near the Carian Study Hall. It's badly burnt but still with traces of her original red hair.

[@AwsOm3Fac3]

She mentions it

[@KosMik_Skul]

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

[@lufelipe78]

after watching your tiktok explaining the age of the stars ending, ive been thinking helplessly about it for days! your deep analysis about why it was the best ending really influenced me. I think Ranni is my favorite character, how she could renounce its body even to go againts what she felt it wasnt the truth (the greater will), and in the end give freedom to every creature, selflessly, because the age of the stars has really started. She sacrificed everything for everyone!

[@Midnitethorn]

I just discovered your videos and am binging them all! Very well made! I hope you continue these lore vids! I'd love to see you do Rodricka! I always felt she's have a bigger role in the game, her background and relationship with the blacksmith are very interesting!

[@arthur3545]

Ohh my God this couldn't be better. I can't wait til the next one!

[@ranerez438]

Your dedication to what you're doing is supreme. I've started playing elden ring a month ago not having a clue what I'm going into. Since I've discovered your channel I've been watching every one of your elden ring videos and it connects me to the game in such a deep and emotional way. If not for your content I'd be just another simple tarnished. Thank you so much 😊looking forward for some more content with the dlc knocking on our doors

[@MitternachtHeizer]

Your lore videos have been really nice and jesus you put in work for this cosplay.

[@BRoyce69]

This cosplay, and the video as a whole is so incredibly well done. I don't know how it took me so long to find you! Here's to your journey in the lands between and on KZbin! I love how the lighting effect is obviously actual lights and not an effect 😂. Rip your poor squinting eyeballs

[@KnavishCrayfish]

Fantastic video! Loved your insights into Ranni's character and her questline, and well done with the amazing cosplay! Theory ahead so spoilers?!! Your comments about what Ranni's goals seem to be, the removal of the Outer Gods will on the Lands Between, and her clear links to the moon, stars and night sky, have got me thinking. Fromsoft could have been using different sky boxes to represent the external forces being enacted on the Lands Between. This seems to be backed up by the multiple endings and their different aesthetics (especially the Frenzied Flame and Age of Stars endings). This leads me to believe that if you go for Ranni's ending, what she reveals to us is the ACTUAL night sky of the Lands Between, unobstructed by the will of the Outer Gods. Just a thought, thank you for the great content and hope you continue to grow!👍💜🎮

[@chraetorcreative4402]

I just want to say, I love your cosplay of Mistress Ranni.

[@taydionsavage9551]

This was a great video. Your thoughts on ranni and the doll she inhabits are very different than I’ve previously thought. For me it was a way of showing the multiple sides of her character. The easiest for me was the difference of the astral vs physical of it, same with her faces, giving her four arms instead of two. My focus was so engrossed with her personality and demeanor, that her mentor completely escaped my mind.

[@Anthooyant89]

Fantastic video, thanks for uploading it

[@thomasansley539]

Omg thank you so much!! I found out most of this myself and am a huge ranni fan out of my 7 playthroughs I did rannis ending 3 time. Would have done it every time but needed the achievement for all the ending. She is amazing and to me it is the true ending to the game, I hope you see this, this video ment alot to me I'm insainly invested in this game, story and lore, and you somehow had a few things to say about her I haven't found out myself! Also a eji and blaidd video would be amazing.

[@matthewthehuman1744]

Your cosplays are always sick, this one was probably the best acting one seen so far. Above all though I find your way of talking soothing.
