Reacting and Lore Theorizing about ASTEL, NATURALBORN OF THE VOID - Elden Ring

[@Umiedo]

There's nothing quite like watching a person who enjoys these games as much as oneself. It's like reliving it all again

[@Kim_Naine]

Que SIMPatico.

[@Tonycaveman]

This is basically what a fallingstar beast grows into, given enough time. You know: those buffalo-like beings with pincers you find in meteorite crash sites? You fight at least 2 of them during the course of the game: a youngling and an Adult one. You can actually see the eye that Astel has slowly emerging on the head of the Adult Fallingstar beast you fight on top of Mt. Gelmir.

[@hoang2312]

but there was a "full grown" one on top of the mountain, which means it could not grow more, right?

[@Pingoo6802]

@@hoang2312 Its like when you can have a full grown caterpillar and then it cocoons into a butterfly, the same thing also happens with astels because you can also see some coccooning ones around.

[@theslayer1197]

In the lore astel is called a malformed star so maybe the fallingstar beasts can somehow become malformed but doing so gives them tremendous power

[@user-op2bh7rc9z]

@@hoang2312 great point this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

[@alilarhdiri9666]

@@user-op2bh7rc9z The full grown beast evolves into the Astel one. Same can be said for insects like Caterpillars. It can be called full grown before it becomes a butterfly. He actually is right about everything he said.

[@nihilistajustinianvs6168]

The wings of Atel remind me the "wings" of Kos in the second phase, so good detail.

[@narommalagonmorales2663]

Ughhh

[@Tanstaafl_74]

The best quote I've heard about fromsoft games and an indication of quality of their games is paraphrased something like: A developer that puts extra effort into their games, but doesn't lose sleep if that effort is seen by only a few players is an indication of quality and confidence.

[@AneggoctopuS]

I love your reading of the lore of Astel. It is different from the popular idea but I think your idea of how Eternal City caught Astel to use it as their "STAR" is an good point.

[@patrickrattan8904]

I just discovered your channel yesterday while looking for Elden Beast reactions. You have my favorite reactions by far. I love how much you delve into the lore. I am playing through Elden Ring again now but I really wish I could just wipe my memory and experience it all for the first time again. Astel was one of my favorite moments.....I also said, "what in the elder gods is going on here"

[@kittypewpew]

I read somewhere that radahn used gravity magic to stop the stars in the sky, maybe it has something to do with that?

[@goliath2625]

I mean yeah, Radahn was stopping stars from falling, though Astel was around even while this was happening. He's in Nokron before the meteor falls to let you into it

[@88heisenberg88]

There's a cut animation during Radahn's fight. Originally when Radahn reaches phase 2 and flys up, Astel would come crashing down instead. I think it implies that Radahn was holding it back.

[@edrichvermaak724]

So astel is weak to gravity attacks

[@preci_user]

that's fromsoftware for u🤡

[@lawlaw9176]

I play Elden Ring like a life risking adventure full with mad, depression and rage..... This lady like going to a theme park and going through all roller coasters and pirate ships rolling😂

[@rowrow_]

Love the foreshadowing via teabagging Gideon

[@SillyBunny5]

Really enjoy how engaged you are with the lore. Your channel is underrated 👏

[@Tanstaafl_74]

Astel's origin dips into Sellen's questline and her explanation of the origin of magic. Glintstone sorcery is an evoltion of magic, but items, especially Lustat's and Azur's, you come across while doing Sellen's questline gives you lore on the origin of this magic. And that lore ties back to Astel.

[@TheProphetOfThePan]

Yeah its a meme, "astel, eldrich london its in the ps4 department"

[@tobi4586]

Bruh you just first tried astel good shit

[@anthonyabrahanportugalagui1666]

Nunca habia visto a una gamer tan entretenida y que disfrute tanto de un videojuego. Definitivamente me enamoré. Eres Genial Wratt. Espero subas mas contenido siempre. :)

[@bamboozledboy20]

Best rng of all time. Casually kills one of the hardest bosses in the game where he doesn't do the instakill move once. I died like at least 50 times

[@lyrand6408]

Aren't these the "Aliens" of Elden Ring? (Falling Star Beasts, and Astel), they could be the creatures that Radahn was trying to stop? (he's called "Starscourge" too)

[@ishaanito4266]

your energy is awesome, makes me want to reply the whole game again

[@quadross016]

Ela matou na primeira tentativa e eu literalmente demorei umas 3 horas pra conseguir 🤧

[@TheCohesiveGarage]

But... The other one....

[@goliath2625]

Stars of Darkness?

[@TheCohesiveGarage]

@@goliath2625 Yes. Astel Stars of Darkness was way tougher and the grab attack at the end ... woof

[@justhair17]

@@TheCohesiveGarage yeah, I only died to this once and even then, only because I didnt have my health full and got blasted immediately. The second one, on the other hand, was much worse. It spammed its teleport grab combo all the time and did the ground explosion attack much more often, which is annoying to dodge

[@your_stimky]

Wow, you're a hellcat on lore

[@AlexCatable]

Not even one teleport grab Insta kill attack...

[@VinviviAR]

Where are we going dog (cc)

[@ocram9979]

**Spoiler** there are 2 astels in the game, maybe one is the one that falls in the cenematic scene and the other one is the one that dropped the weapon maybe

[@Wraff]

I think there are a lot of astels, like the fallingstar beasts are the little version and they grow up. Basically space bugs. So who knows?

[@LocksAndChains]

As someone who first met this horror while wielding gravity magic, I can relate to your experience. Anything we can do, this cosmic abomination can do WAY better.
