@@mokadelic4037 yeah but what would it even be for Romina, she’s a genuinely useless character, she has no build-up towards her reveal and she doesn’t add anything to the Scarlet Rot storyline. They lightly imply that Rahu is the birthplace of the ancient golem warriors, so why don’t they expand on that instead of adding more useless Scarlet Rot facts. Rellana on the other hand, has by far the most uninteresting dungeon in the DLC, there’s no buildup towards apart from some Carian enemies that just appear them without reason, drops an insane revelation revealing she’s Ranni’s aunt, and then nothing, I don’t know why she followed Mesmer and why she attacks us, it all feels very halfbaked. Meanwhile, Bayle, a secondary boss, despite still having some hazy backstory, has a phenomenal build up with Igon, the dragon man and the overall area. When we reach the top of the mountain we fear Bayle and what he’s capable of, we saw how powerful his minions where, what he did to Igon and the lesser dragon, and the precautions that were put in place to isolate his domain, with Rellana everything was all very underwhelming especially after visiting Belurat and fighting the dancing Lion.

One thing I find perhaps the most interesting about Romina is that despite being 2/3 arthropod and having an additional centipede head with extra eyes, she never did fight like one would expect an insect to fight. The centipede head never looks anywhere she isn't facing, and the way she commands it to act is more akin to a limb than an entity of its own, Always in deliberate movements and rarely if ever in tandem with her upper half. It really gives the impression that she has to consciously move and control its positioning which takes great focus, but betrays an innate unfamiliarity with her body. Similarly, the scorpion tail don't often hit on her "left" side despite seemingly having the movement range to do so, if possible she always prefers to turn around to "face" you before delivering a stick. This further suggests that despite being seemingly made out of three creatures merged into one, Romina aren't actually granted any instinctual mastery over it. It's a strange hint of humanity shining through despite her inhuman exterior.

To be fair, IRL centipede eyes aren't nearly as sophisticated as ours, or even other arthropods. They can basically only detect light and dark, so centipedes primarily hunt via scent, touch, and vibration. Doesn't discredit your observation at all - I think you're right on the mark with it, but it does explain why she doesn't use the centipede head to observe more of her surroundings lol.
@Scythemantis3 ай бұрын
if the centipede head always looks where she's facing, and her own eyes are always closed and covered, the impression I get is that the centipede has her only functional sense of vision, or, if it does have its own mind, it's "telling" her where to aim like a service dog
@on_the_inverse_51933 ай бұрын
I've always noticed how much the centipede moves when you break Romina's stance, it writhes around, swinging its head all over the place before coming to a stop at her side. It could be her shaking off the pain of the strike, like one would shake their hand after hitting a hard surface. Or, as I like better, it could be that the centipede has it's own consciousness, and she must focus to control it's movements. As Romina is knocked out for a moment, it's instincts take over before she can stop it.

Bayle also felt kinda under cooked, DLC dragons in previous souls games had some really nice visual set up, Kalameet met you at the bridge in the royal woods, Sinh woke up upon your arrival and bombarded some shulva knights, Midir harassed you throughout the ringed city. Bayle on the otherhand just kinda shows up and dies immediately. You could argue Igon IS the presentation, and I would argue back that Gough still did it better and without needing to intrude on the foreshadowing. Seems like a wasted opportunity considering how many call backs this DLC had feeling like the Smash Ultimate of Souls and the fact that bayle was visibly wounded off screen. It would have been much cooler if they gave Igon his own cinematic "I wont miss" moment and had him take bayles leg with one of his great arrows causing him to retreat up the jagged peak.

Pomegranates represent fertility, sanctity, and abundance. With the abundant nature of how the rot behaves, the kindred of rot, and how people like Millicent were ‘born’ from it, it makes sense, in a way.

He likely tried to see if he could charm someone converted by the Rot and allow for Melanie to just give in to it or something else. Who knows, overall Fromsoft put more effort into the geography and artificial difficulty with the blessings than much lore not relating to Marika, Mesmer, and Miquella. Honestly with how entwined Miquella is in Melanie's story with the Scarlet Rot you'd think we'd get Miquella assigning his sister as consort and giving her a new vessel rather than Radahn and Mogh wombo combo.

I have zero drawing or animation skills so I have to use my words, but with the petals on her head and cape I think a really cool intro animation for her would have been if she was initially coiled up with petals covering her, looking like a rose, which slowly unfurls and uncoils to reveal first her torso then the centipede/scorpion halves

Romina’s design is absolutely AMAZING!!! I wonder why she wasn’t given a more prominent role in the DLC considering how she’s the one character who has accepted the rot god’s influence (also no concept art?! What the heck?!) but regardless of her role they absolutely BALLED with this design (i’m literally losing my mind over how pretty she is. Also that stinger did some psychic damage to me).

This is my favorite "bug-lady" design from From Software. It's the first one that doesn't just feel like "Naked lady plastered on top of gross bug". Instead, it's a gross yet beautiful hodgepodge of insect parts, that work together strangely harmoniously, while also feeling more in tune with the theme of the character (Both centipedes and scorpions tend to be venomous, and butterflies tend to like flowers, with both flowers and venom having allusions to the Scarlet Rot).

So does this mean Rot is connected to Death in terms of entities? The Cursemark of Death is considered the mark of the Centipede. Scorpions seem to have more of a relationship to rot, considering the way to make X-proof pickled livers is with the addition of a scorpion liver in crafting. Still trying to figure out how deep this cult of the bud goes.
@DanielFerreira-ez8qd5 ай бұрын
gotta remember the order of rot is a cycle of DEATH and REBIRTH. If death is indicated by a centipede, a scorpion would be the symbol of rebirth. I went looking through the scorpion-themed items and found out that the scorpion talismans all specify the scorpion has freshly molted, which to me only strengthens their connection to rebirthing.

i haven’t seen anyone talk about this, but isn’t it kinda obvious that romina is like the other half of malenia? her body looks a lot like trina, she’s the only other character to ever be called a “saint”, her theme is reminescent of phase 2 malenia, every other child of marika and radagon seems to have another personality or being within them (the snake thing in messmer and the gloam eyed queen in melina) and marika herself has radagon as another half of her. this might also be related to the butterflies theory but idk about that.
