Kinda lame how they had you advertise their new "textra" versions but your discount doesn't apply to ANY "textra" products. Was really excited to purchase some :/

[@blizzardgaming7070]

Love your videos but there were a couple of details missed at the start. The nobles are older apostles rather than being born into a higher class 'lowborn' seems to refer to non godskins. BonfireVN made a video removing the armour which shows them being fairly muscular.

[@cerburusmori]

I have not completed in research, but when I played through, my impression when I saw the purple eye was that it was supposed to reference the Cosmos as it looks like a galaxy to me. The frenzied flame ending also changes her appearance a lot which implied to me that she lost her "golden hue" from the end of the Erd tree.

[@scottbirkinshaw2009]

how have you not yet realized that the gloam eyed queen is Rani. gloam eyed queen was her first alias. She failed in accomplishing ushering in her age of night and that's why she realize she had to be removed from her corporeal flesh. GLOAM eyed QUEEN. She has an eye for the setting of the sun. and she's royalty - lunar princess Rani. The claims that Dogo killed her were false. she was probably gravely injured, but still managed to get a shard of the rune of death from that encounter. Mark my words. Not very many people have this connection drawn, you should bring attention to it.

[@scottbirkinshaw2009]

Melina is NOT the gloam eyed queen. Melina is St Trina. Miquella has been with us all this time.

The fact that you had to defeat and skin several gods just to make your video is quite impressive. 12/10.

[@scarlet1508]

I find that fromsoft mysteries can generally be solved with the more overt hints they give. Melina is shown to have the “Gloam Eye” so it’s probably her. The same way in Dark souls, the nameless king is probably Gwyn’s son, Faraam. The Faraam set says it’s named after a god of war and the helm depicts the god, with hair similar to the nameless king, facing off with a dragon. It’s fun to have crazy and complicated theories, but using what hints we do get, we can sometimes take things at face value.

[@phantasmx_]

The idea of the Godskins making a pact with the dancing women because they recognized their potential is GENIUS, I had never thought about it like that.

[@SeanHoltzman]

And even if there wasnt a direct pact, it seems like mulching bodies (jars), eating corpses (Volcano Manor), blood (multiple things) are all ancient traditions we see involving a transfer of energy/power and rebirth. Its an interesting concept and one theory Ive seen mentioned is its a rebirth dance to connect to ancient powers of nature to bring rebirth and might be a tradition from Crucible era thats been cut off and they keep insanely trying to relive that era once all hope of Golden Krder failed. Would be opportune and desperate people to follow Godskins, but would make sense why otherwise regular people would follow one

[@Crocalu]

Do none of you ever realise that Elden Ring isn't truly about the Lands Between. It's about the real world that you and I and a lot of strange humans inhabit. I.e. there are people who believe that Satan sleeps in their nose every night and they have to wash him out every morning, world's 2nd biggest religion. The shunning of omens even though they're saved by the Erdtree is more about how religious humans can shun certain groups for no good reason, it's not just about a fictional world.

[@NickCombs]

I like Quelaag's theory that GEQ was Marika's twin. There are so many twinned births in Elden Ring who are thematically opposed, that it makes a lot of sense to have one sister venerate destined death only for the other to seal it away.

[@Scadu_Orhyn]

The GEQ is almost definitely related to Marika in some way, whether as a sibling (twin), offspring, mother, or Marika herself. There’s too much opposing dual symbology between the two for them to be of different descent

[@jeremyusername1548]

@@Scadu_Orhyn Melina is the GEQ. she is a daughter of Marika. the Frenzied Flame ending confirms this, if you use yourself as kindling rather than letting Melina sacrifice herself, her other eye is opened and she vows you hunt you down and use destined death on you. the new open eye is Gloam coloured.

[@catharsix]

​@@jeremyusername1548that doesn't outright confirm it. Melina could be the daughter of the GEQ, or maybe her most devoted follower

[@radicalgear391]

I think a cool piece of evidence it’s the beast eye time that you get from Gurranq to track the death root. Not only does the color match Melina’s eye, but the claw marks on the item actually match up with the scar on her eye as well.

I figured the "gloam eyed" colour was the same shade as the purple gem the godskin apostle (and your cosplay) wears, therefore the purple eye that Melina has makes sense if she is the queen

[@miss_chalice]

I agree! It's such a centrepiece of their outfit (minus the faces) that the choice of colour must have been intentional! Or they are just fans of purple :)

[@Lena-de2ws]

@@miss_chalice Purple also color of the courtiers, noble people. Can you talk about the water lilies? So far, people discussed only miquella and trina's lilies. But there are one more lily in the game and it is called calla lily. We only see this lily in the Malenia's boss enter room and the area while we help Millicent againts her sisters. St. Trina has 3 personalities, and we have 3 lillies. It is very interesting actually :)

[@awendigowithinternetaccess4400]

​@Lena-de2ws Wait wait wait. St. Trina has 3 personalities?

[@Lena-de2ws]

@@awendigowithinternetaccess4400 Yeah, trina means trinity. One is Miquella second is St. Trina and an adult male. But we don't know his name yet. St. Trina's Torch: Candlestand torch that burns with a light-purple flame. The carving depict St. Trina, but in adult form, somewhat unnervingly. We already know st. trina and miquella have child form. So this adult form (but I remember as a male, there should be another item explanation but I forgot xd) must be the third personality. Chaile has a video about that, you should check it out.

[@jeremyusername1548]

Melina is in fact the Gloam Eyed Queen. she lives burnt and bodiless because her defeat by Maliketh caused her to be burnt by the flame of destined death. She was born at the foot of the Erdtree, which means she is a child of Marika, her purpose given my Marika was part of Marika.s plan to change the status quo, IE destroying the two fingers and breaking their hold on her.

[@JuggerToad]

Important to note: 3 godskins are all guarding something related to Rennala's children: Swaddling cloth from Rykard's child; Ranni's corpse, Sword at the bottom of Radahn's tower. 4th set of Godskins are guarding Malekith. 5th is the one in Dominula, which we actually have no clue as to why he's there. Likely guarding something as well.

[@elias.t]

You shouldn't stare yourself blind at a potential pattern. 3 Godskins guarding something doesn't mean they all have to be. The Farum Godskins might be there on the same quest as us, seeking the Rune of Death. The Dominula Apostle might be there to keep watch over whatever they are doing in Dominula. Furthermore, I think only the Volcano Manor Noble sticks around specifically because of a child of Rennala, with Rykard being anti-Erdtree. The Tower Bridge Noble is probably guarding the curse mark, rather than the body that bears it and the Tower Basement Apostle is there for the sword, which could have been placed there long before it became "Radahn's tower".

[@microwave4928]

@@elias.t I think it’s especially important not to do that because some things in these games are placed THEN have a lore reason made up AFTER the fact

😂 he's in the windmill village because his 3 special moves turn him into a windmill. That simple! You guys forget the fun Miyazaki has when designing souls games

[@adammummey5851]

I think the godskin apostle is in dominula because of Melania, apart of millicent's quest line is following the journey Melania made back to the haligtree from caelid, dominula might have been the last place known that Melania was seen and thus the godskin was looking for her

[@nolwetar424]

I’ve always thought that the purple-blueish gemstone that the godskins wear is supposed to symbolise the colour of the dusk and thus their allegiance to the gloam-eyed queen. I think it’s very similar to the colour of Melina’s eye. It always reminds me of this deep hue that the sky has when it is almost night, but the sun hasn’t set completely. Excellent video, btw. I love the godskins and their lore so much!

[@AzazelHash281]

"It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the black flame again."

[@mkv2718]

the lotion is spf 1000 to protect against said flame.

[@NWolfsson]

27:31 On Melina not mentioning anythign GEQ-related before the Frenzied Flame Ending: Quelaag mentioned that her closed eye can be symbolism for some kind of amnesia, and I'd go a step further: Her only purple eye left being sealed may have been Marika's plan to snuff her personality, and as we see in the FF ending she _loses_ the golden eye. My hypothesis is that the golden eye may have been artificial personality, memories etc. implanted by Marika to make Melina her tool.

[@Crocalu]

IF she is the GEQ then Maliketh defeated her as per item descr., to take back the rune of death. It might be a scar from that. It might be how she smuggled out part of the rune of death to begin with. Or the eye was recognised as being deviant by her family and 'locked away' for that reason, like how the omens horns are cut off but nobles omens are locked away instead

[@athelise]

I'm personally in the camp that Melina is the gloam-eyed queen because she knew very little of her past, only her supposed duty and that she was, quote, "burned and bodiless" (plus the burns all over her). That combined with the flames of Malekith's destined death match up. Plus, Melina makes it a point to say to the Tarnished that the Lands Between need Death indiscriminate. That was, I think, the core tenet of the GEQ: to bring death to those who thought themselves above it. Marika, who sealed away destined death, then proceeded to lose her demigod offspring one by one, and I think she came to the realization that the entire order had to be remade, and thus broke it, and thus Melina, potentially the GEQ, though defeated and stripped of her power, is sent forth in order to bring that ruinous end to make new beginnings*, as she is one who can envision the flames, which was always her modus operandi. (*which makes me think of the God of Rot and that's a WHOLE other tangent)

[@anitaremenarova6662]

I think that theory is on point and basically canon, the eye reveal would be pointless otherwise and while fromsoft is many things they're definitely not ones that go with style over substance. Not to mention if we assume she's not GEQ then her entire questline seems rather dull as well, there's not any other answer as to why she was so determined to take down Maliketh and release the rune of death.

21:07 the wording here reminds me of the DLC trailer, 'those untouched by the grace of gold shall all meet death, in the embrace of Messmer's flame' Messmer could be the one who sealed the power of blackflame away. The fire Messmer uses is mostly fiery red with a dark core, destined death is blood red with a black core, the blackflame's ability to kill gods may have harnessed destined death, which was taken and given to Messmer for safe keeping. Combine Messmer's flame and the blackflame, you get destined death.

[@minerman60101]

Messmer is spelled with two 's'es. But yeah I'm curious about the parallels between Messmer's flame and Maliketh's flame. Another theory I heard (I think on that Ratatoskr + Smoughtown podcast episode) was that Maliketh's flame is death of the demigods, while Messmer's is the death of normal people. Marika then banished Messmer outside of the Lands Between so as to protect the Tarnished she would later call back. And then, if that were the case, we could enter the Land of Shadow in a strange way which does not put our player character's body at risk of death.

[@YoHoHann]

It's a neat coincidence that the Black Flame is reminiscent of the Deathbird Flames, just "drained of color" so that the former lacks the bluish hue of the latter. You see the phrase "drained of color" appear on items related to the Eclipse and on the Somber Smithing Stones / Ancient Dragon Scales (tying back them back to Faram Azula) - all things and places heavily associated with death, and in particular the death of gods. Probably a reach to say they're connected, but it parallels the whole Ranni / Melina discussion and the murder of Godwyn the Golden quite nicely. Another great video, and a really nice cosplay!

[@PeachT87]

I highly recommend you check out Hawkshaw's video about colour theory in Elden Ring, and he even talked about things being "drained of colour" as well.

[@DiamondD-zc1eg]

What makes me think Melena is the gloam eyed queen is simple. If you take on the frenzied flame. She tells you she's going to kill you. She says this with such assurance as if it'll be easy for her to slay someone who kills demigods.

[@blizzardgaming7070]

Originally I thought she was the gloam eyed queen because the deep purple of her sealed eye. However I now think she is st Trina since the sleep fog is what is in her eye, she also appears suddenly and disappears suddenly as well.

[@Wveth]

It could just be that she isn't a match for us, but she's just so angry that she doesn't care/believes she can win anyway, or she could have a different source of power; there are several. I used to think she was the gloam-eyed queen, but the eye was really the only solid connection and frankly, it makes much, much more sense to be connected to St. Trina. But maybe we'll see in the DLC!

[@itsthatsvee]

Doesn't she also kinda put us to sleep before burning herself before the ErdTree? Hmmmmm ​@@blizzardgaming7070

[@AdamKane-hp1qb]

Is it possible the gloam eyed queen is like a title? Like the reverse of the lord // emperium to god model. Merikas crucifictoin, her arms and the rune arc she is “nailed” too: represent one half of a circle. The Elden ring perhaps. Notable merika seems unwillingly bound to only half the Elden ring. Looking at the ring from ferum ezula perhaps the current system is only part of a more robust older system. Saint Trina, by extension Mikala (and indeed perhaps Melina too) are attempting to not only grow a new tree, but break the golden order to restore something resembling a more primordial, more correct system.

Long time listener, first time commenter. I would like to suggest a Spirit Caller Snail episode. You can even make a snail puppet or add a blue hue to a regular snail puppet. (Barns and nobles have snail hand puppets sometimes.) The spirit caller snails are the boss of several dungeons! Even summoning godskin apostles in a cave of samurai. And then just chilling on Miquella's tree? They appear as white snakes which reminds me of the rebirth abilities of the pale serpent in sekiro.

I've been seriously looking forward to this video, Chalice. Thank you for making it and A+ effort on the cosplay you made here. I love the lore behind the Godskins. The story of a god candidate who was in direct opposition to Marika's Order of Eternal Life, who wielded a black flame so powerful it could fell gods and created her own army to do it. I recently did a build based on their lore called the "Black Flame Acolyte". It was a very fun time. As always, great work, Chalice. Edit: You seem to adjust well to playing HUD-less for capturing your footage. I just wanted to compliment that because HUD-less can be pretty disorienting at first.

the gloam eye queen is a queen like marika or renala, my guess is she was in charge before marika became queen, possibly her mum or sister (possibly twins), seems emperians are related, she is the opposite of marika like miquella and melania, life and death, and abubunce and rot, one cant be without the other it seems

[@umwhoalol]

Pretty much my thoughts, due to her name also being translatable as early night queen, or pre-night eyed queen, and with marika the eternal, now having been confirmed to have BECAME a god in the shadow world. My guess is that melina is her reincarnation, as her role and archetype is culminated as destined d3a th. Which was power stripped by malekith from her; it would make sense that marika would reincarnate that power as her own child, since she had dozens of children.

[@Zarocaz]

I cannot imagine Miss Chalice skinning gods, she must have sweetly requested they forfeit their skins which thus comprise this outfit. Well done video

Love the connection made to the dancing scene in Midsommar, and it makes sense that this group of rogue women on Altus would want a way to communicate and thrive in a way the Greater Will couldn't listen in on. Of course they'd welcome a partnership with the Godskin sect, with the hideous cost of the Golden Order leading to the worst extremes in the Lands Between.

[@Jumungous]

I've also had a theory for a while that Marika and the Gloam-Eyed Queen were sisters, both Numen living in the Night Cities before the Greater Will bombarded the Lands with stars. Marika's "dark path" started with her submission to the Will as a way of brokering peace, eventually killing the Queen. The rest is history. The question mark for me is mainly the relationship btw Marika and Melina.

She could talk for 10 hours about how to fry an egg and ill still watch. Miss Chalice is that hypnotic to me 😅😂

On my Confessor character as soon as i found the Apostle in the Calid divine tower and the God Slayer Greatsword i became obsessed with the black flame lore and abilities. Going to for sure use them in my first DLC run.
