RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 53: Radagon's Secret

[@Lady_Vengeance]

The Law of Regression spell, I believe, removes ALL status effects, including your own. Which is why your physick flask buffs disappear each time you use it.

[@garynoble1590]

That makes so much sense. Thanks for explaining that, it seemed so weird.

[@DcLoki12]

Yeah it says it removes buffs when they read it out 😂 so funny watching them freak out

[@mack7170]

I was yelling at my TV. Lol.

[@sibbie0]

Ohhhh yeah makes sense now 😂

[@CrazeeAdam]

I hope they all see this

[@whatsametter]

Remembering the statue, solving the riddle, AND calling the twist right away, Gav deserves bonus points for the next roundtable hold quiz. Legend

[@supremebuffalo6322]

yea its insane, people say stuff like "who tf figures that out" when this stuff gets found and it turns out Gav is who tf 😄

[@MrFredd38]

that was impressive

[@jomo999]

Gav was such a star pupil this episode, I kept expecting Krupa to give him a gold star to stick on his t-shirt.

[@THiiNlK]

I love Gav having revelation after revelation and Rory is just absentmindedly running around, not absorbing a single thing 😂

[@mikeyhavik815]

“We gotta buff the honk pipe” is the type of quote that truly defines why I love this series

[@johnnyfivehole5957]

The first and only time that sentence has ever been said aloud in human history

[@hollidaykedik8647]

Sounds like something written by Chris Morris

[@MrLeonLuffy]

You should chain his glasses to the table like a bank pen

[@danwhite7410]

Gav reacting to the reveal, followed by the developer note, might be the best moment of this series so far

[@perrybryan]

The timing on that is insane

[@JohnBradyIRL]

that careless whisper part is hilarious

[@mkeezy53]

This is such a legitimately laugh-out-loud funny episode. The saxophone drops weren't over done and perfectly timed

[@RKG]

The first cut had so many more 🤣but I reigned it in a bit so glad someone noticed! - Gav

[@mkeezy53]

@RKG the first time I heard it I assumed that needle was gonna drop essentially every time he blew it, but in the end, I feel it was tastefully done 🥂

[@Dispariabooks]

@@mkeezy53 yeah, these last two have been utter masterpieces. So many moments of brilliance.

[@SawnOffCinema]

​@@RKGrelease the saxophone cut!

[@linamiller4208]

Love the recurring bit of Rory bragging about how good he's doing and immediately dying.

[@TheL3gendOfLiam]

Can't stop doing that now, it's a old PTT season 1 tradition at this point😅

[@linamiller4208]

Just popping back in to say: Gav is a genius

[@mkeezy53]

@linamiller4208 even two handed the sword in a subtle bit of foreshadowing

[@MrTheKarl]

The genuine panic on Krupas face when Gav said "but not that Radagon...is..." was a beautiful moment

[@goonz6249]

timestamp?

[@MrTheKarl]

@@goonz6249 13:20 it’s in the eyes

[@zakkywacky7911]

Gav has been unbelievable throughout this whole series. Well done sir

[@RKG]

You silver-tongued devil, you

[@BenH5150]

‘Radagon is Marika’ note was not in Krupa’s plans when he imagined how this part would go😂😂😂

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

My biggest joy this series has honestly been watching the joy in Gav as he slowly pieces everything together. I didn't know the statue was something you could do till months after i finished the game 😂

[@kg14088]

58:38 and 105:43 - Rory calls it a “stantue” and I NEEDED Krupa to call him out on it!

[@RKG]

that's a deep cut!

[@supremebuffalo6322]

I dunno what a stantue is, Rory

[@burgundygoat8273]

Been waiting this whole series to see Gav and Rory's reactions to this reveal, and it didn't disappoint 😄

[@Paroex]

I think the common denominator of the people Gav tends to instantly dislike is that they express doubt in themselves or have low opinions of themselves: Boc, Brother Corhyn, and Roderika at Roundtable Hold.

[@jakehowry939]

1:25:20 immediately forgets they have 80k down in the courtyard

[@lilypad585]

Every time 😭

[@markconway2590]

That 'Ragagon is Marika' note might be my favourite thing so far hahaha

[@Stoney_17]

They finally picked up the bolt of gransax, my favourite weapon in the game!! Can’t wait till they read the lore tab and what it can do…errr…maybe next week!

[@sojinnn]

I love that first cinematic trailer they put out. I remember so many discussions of "was a man or woman hammering?". Turns out the answer is, yes.

[@afrokid8]

Completely forgot about reading the Bolt of Gransax lmao

[@Porshapwr]

The Careless Whisper bits had me in tears. Music my dad used to listen to when I was a kid. 😂

[@reese7221]

The secret is also revealed in the opening cutscene. In the artwork slideshow, one image is clearly Marika, and the next is clearly Radagon, both hammering the Elden Ring. You can see their clothes change from a dress to a waistcloth.

[@arcazrael13]

Law of Regression dispels special effects so it removes the physick bonus as soon as you cast it.

[@Stephano217]

I dont get why dan is scared of running out of somber smithing stones. They have a shit ton. Rory could upgrade the lightsaber, the blasphemous blade, the dragon seal, the bubble trumpet, and the dagger all to +8 and still have somber stones to spare.

[@magicmurderbag7581]

Always the same, in every episode, in every season.

[@devintheditch]

Thanks for the episode lads! Gav was just knocking it out of the park this episode! Going to be one of those nosy 'um actually' folks 😅... just reminding Rory that his sword's special move heals on hits, not just a kill. It'll save him burning through crimson flasks for heals, specially when he is just trying to top off the remaining 20-30% of missing health.

[@ArtoriasJax]

Wow that Radagon is Marika comment followed by the note was brilliant. You can’t bloody right it.

[@SirBurticus]

Gav that is a BEAUTIFUL Queens of the Stone Age shirt

[@jacforse7642]

Picked up a new legendary weapon and just instantly forget it lmaoo

[@nromdotcom]

Martin is Miyazaki

[@skepsis1067]

Krupas so busy reading that sweet, sweet lore that he forgets to read what the spell actually DOES lmao

[@mikefgroves]

How long has it been since we learned there was a secret? Been waiting so long for this🙌🏼

[@BlackMarketHero]

Im looking forward to Gavs reaction the most to this most juicy of secrets given how into the lore he’s gotten

[@FilthyGringo]

Always appreciate a low guttural "whaaaat?" from Gav.

[@Haiirofox]

The saxophone bit is class.

[@akeedsameer823]

1:07:55-1:08:08 Moments like this remind me why I love you guys. Great episode.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

I really hope Gav edited this episode and inserted his own idea here at 20:51 😂 🎶🎵

[@junkytboy]

One of the best episodes in a while. The perfect balance of chaos and lore. Rory’s bubble finish will be legendary

[@beyonddaylight5556]

Love the irony of raising Auntie's intelligence and then all being completely confused by the effect of the spell they're using 😂

[@Trollkiller]

Also great job Gav!!! That was some really good deduction with the law of regression.

[@SomP0]

Gav finally getting into the lore after 8 years and SOLVING THE F***ING MYSTERY OF THE STATUE IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Well done Gav. I was so fucking giddy when he was theorizing.

[@muntantmonsterx4365]

Dont forget that the opening cinematic also has the duality shown off in front of our faces with Marika and Radagon splitting the ring

[@zakkywacky7911]

I was going to say this! It's literally the first two images! Radagon Forging, then Marika shattering

[@Alex_Cant_Think]

Gav is the definition of "locked in" this episode.

[@jomega_gaming]

Can't wait for the round table hold on this one. Also Krupa.... Should show them the intro video again where Radagon is hammering cos it does the same thing if cutting between the two but I'd say it's even more obvious when you look for it.

[@portrannavi]

You guys keep me alive

[@ITIareth]

12:48 i love Rory's little glance at the camera when he almost fell off the ledge while nobody was looking

[@jphenry3404]

Love the shirt idea Gav, even cooler would be the Finchy faces like on the Bohemian Rhapsody cover! Make it happen lads!

[@martynhanna2675]

3500 hours into this,and im still learning new stuff thanks to the boys ...wow...thank u so much :)

[@Schizm1]

This episode was pure gold! Loremaster Krupa on freakin fire and Gav being so into the lore is FANTASTIC! Thank You soooo much guys!

[@malcolmsharrock1308]

The band playing during the gargoyle fight at the beginning was probably Snow(man) Patrol.

[@gervsmerchpilk]

Gav has impressed me today

[@leevus_t8357]

If Rory learned about jump attacks, that Blasphemous Blade would be doing wonders.

[@Chaos__]

Nah. Once he gets the Shard talisman it'll be all over. And once he realizes he can buff it 3 different ways right now.

[@bigpetch2510]

Gav the Welsh Genius! Get that on a t-shirt! 😂 Great episode chaps, the timing of that message reveal was freakin’ awesome 😂

[@wade6759]

Banga of an episode boys. Such an amazing lets play, I've finished the game and i'm realising how much i missed in my playthrough. Love your work!

[@wormskull2454]

I live in the US & I’ve had countless bumper stickers of bands that I love: punk bands, metal bands, even horror movies. Someone who works at a grocery store by my house has a Solaire bumper sticker.

[@spooky_shran]

gav passed the test for his elden ring lore degree in this one, see us next semester for lore master class

[@hinnom001]

“Bubble Time” may gave made my week 😂

[@hinnom001]

Totally regretted this comment during the next episode

[@GoldnDusty]

A friend of mine was in a discord call as I was trying to work out the secret, and the fact that I could hear his smile as I steadily pieced it together based purely on a piece of Roundtable Hold art was absolutely delightful.

[@jorgearcienega9203]

The sounds of the honk pipe are gonna follow me all week

[@NapnCat]

The bumper sticker thing is interesting bc I was recently in the UK (Inverness Scotland) for the first time and I saw quite a few of them. “I’m not gay but £20 is £20” 💀

[@malcolmsharrock1308]

I liked Krup's Alan Partridge nod at around the 45 minute mark.

[@danielesquivel9326]

Has there ever been more of a galaxy-brain giga-IQ play than what Gav busted out in this episode? The fact that he just organically came to the idea of how to reveal the statue is insane to me. Well done.

[@Magnetgoat]

Seeing Gav sporting a Queens of the stone age T-shirt makes me happier than it should. Ofc the grotmaster has great taste

[@RKG]

What a band! - Gav

[@michaelwandrus-rs5ln]

Maybe it would be a hat on a hat, but I was waiting for one of the post honk deaths to have the lyric going ‘I’m never gonna dance again’. Great episode this week!

[@bvdiggy3126]

Rory casually fighting the crucible knight with a honking horn and then switching to the blasphemous blade and KILLING the knight all while gav and krupa are discussing heavy lore shows how far rory has come in terms of gameplay and is consumate RKG all in one Fantastic episode lads.

[@PabloDuran100]

I love how the first thing Powers thought was: Marika is Misses Doubtfire'ing everyone haha

[@mattangell9098]

Devastated that the tree puns didn’t lead to a return of ‘bad ash’. 😔

[@vernify]

Krupa must be so proud of the boys (or at least Gav) for discovering the secret.

[@zemo2916]

The outro stillframe in the Queen’s Bedchamber is excellent. Best yet.

[@MrTheKarl]

It’s been a long time since ce I’ve sat shouting at my tv. And I was shouting “it clears your physic!!!!” 😂😂😂😂

[@oranjekenny]

Best intro on KZbin, your weekly reminder!

[@Spellfork]

I'm just here to give Gav a big pat on the back as I call him a genius, well done!

[@Trollkiller]

First I know I usually leave a few comments and I hope it's not annoying but I'm disabled with no one to talk to but my dogs. The old alchemical idk myth I guess it'd be called about a rebis which is a half man half women attempt at a perfect creature seems part of the inspiration for marika. There's more lore and inspirations to mention but that'll be for like a year from now lol.

[@malcolmsharrock1308]

You leave as many as you like! All the best to you and your dogs.

[@Trollkiller]

@@malcolmsharrock1308 Thanks mate that's incredibly kind.

[@mkeezy53]

Gav, you genius

[@jcace13]

The statue reveal couldn't have gone any better, it's one of the most major points in the game.

[@hartattack2739]

It's kind of like multiple personalities... but they also have separate bodies that can work independently of each other. The DLC explores a bit more into it

[@lloydholland8928]

Love how rory didnt think about using his runes to level up his intelligence

[@Fatb0ybadb0y]

In my old job, I used to travel a lot. I always used company cars, and I remember once when I was told I needed to be in Hemel Hempstead. I went down to get a car and the receptionist told me "I'm afraid there's only one car left, and we need to keep it in case someone needs it". I explained that I did need it, but then she said there would be none left in case anyone else needed one. There was a lot of back and forth, and it was extremely frustrating, but she basically didn't budge and the car sat there unused and I missed my meeting. This is kind of how it feels when you boys are sat on a load of higher upgrade materials for your weapons and aren't using them in case you need them 😅 just go nuts and get Rory to full power! Unleash the beast!

[@davidprince9427]

The Careless Whisper bits are too good 😂

[@Jari_Kir]

Marikas Mischief is very powerful! ....if you wish to break the game. In normal gameplay you can get use out of it, it's the best stealth in the game as long as you don't move, but... yeah. Very situational. I am really enjoying the series and your videos are great during long train rides, so thanks a lot!

[@stefanhenrico]

Came for the retry, stayed for the perfume.

[@linusre4298]

i saw this online a couple of weeks after the game came out, its probably the coolest thing i have seen in a video game

[@SmashiusClay]

The patch for the dlc added a new menu option to have a tab for new items. Makes it much easier to find new stuff. Annoyingly I finished the DLC before I learned about this.

[@kamuymamushi5877]

That reveal and you guys burst out laughing was GOLD

[@Dispariabooks]

44:40 Gav's mates cover his car in nonsense. Me? My mates and I 'fished' my friends car. We went to the store, bought a dozen fish, then snuck into his car at night and put them deep in the engine bay, trunk, under floor carpets, and one mouth-first on each windscreen wiper. The results were as awful smelling as you can imagine.

[@commodoremorgan]

Wait did Krupa just say they’re 150 hours into this game at the beginning of this episode??

[@Duckiman]

47:40 someone's got to throw hands over this insult! 😂

[@Lady_Vengeance]

Once again I have to shout out Daniel’s joke. Didn’t get enough love from the boys 🤗🥰 41:50

[@mitchfitzgerald945]

Wasn't a glitch with the statue. Law of regression kills the buffs from the elixir.

[@Ninzumecha]

Love that Gavin got it! 😊👌

[@JohnBradyIRL]

The weekly epic movie series, awesome

[@IIxSam]

surely I'm not the only one who wants a careless whispers run on ng+

[@urmintrude]

I think Rory would love the slightly bigger version of the bubble sax 🎷

[@M1996sw]

One other cool thing is that in the first hours it is said that all demigods are Marika’s children, this includes Radahn, Ranni and Rykard…. Children of Radagon and Rellana.

[@ExcellentU]

I've been looking forward to this particular episode for a while now. You guys have been so engrossed in the story of the gods and their plots and schemes... And here comes this one massive reveal that kind of changes everything, like an M. Night Shyamalan twist! What does the "M" in M. Night Shyamalan stand for? ... Mid? Mid Night Shyamalan? ... I refuse to look it up because I want it to be Midnight Shyamalan.

[@osric190]

09:52 - Wealdstone Raider reference from Gav there. Appreciate it! 🤣

[@darrensteele3365]

The furless squirrel has upset me deeply.

[@TheKoobon]

i find it funny that the one person who should know what to do is making this whole statue mess worse

[@shadowxps]

Dan may be the lore master but Gav has truly has become the lore pupil

[@SawnOffCinema]

Justice for Dumble Finchy! He's definitely part of the family!
