This video contains no real DLC spoilers! Just a couple pieces of dlc footage from the first gameplay trailer.
22:04 "I think Rykard really loves his.. "FAMILLLYYyyyy!"
I was cracking up! XD
I think the iron virgins are the same as the marionettes instead of being piloted by snakes. This can put them earlier in the timeline.
I would lke to add that its possible the great Serpent is as female snake and female snakes can produce eggs without intercourse and they hatch as normal snakes with the serpent devouring Rykard the snakes born might just have that human gene to get to the Manserpent
dlc lore video pls!
i know the shadow of the erdtree just came out but i’d really like to see a DLC that takes you back in time to the active part of the Shattering War. just absolute droves of armies duking it out, demigods smacking the shit out of each other. wouldn’t that just be awesome?
I always had the idea that as long as the dead remains of the serpent were ingested the serpent would be reborn inside that person
So rykard really was the big powerful Elden beast killer they said he was he soloed the serpent and devoured it himself to become immortal yet adjacent to the greater wills influence, the serpent I guess they imagined was avaricious enough to devour the very creator but at that stage he was gone, just a wild senseless devouring monster
Could you make a tank top line of merch? I'd love to where your designs in the gym
Slightly off topic but god bless you sir for these videos, helping my baby to sleep 😅 I play it during the naps and I listen to it too. Win win 😂
What is that sound in the background at 1:14:16 lol. Mabye your doorbell went off or mabye part of the background music you used but its so odd
Rykard kinda like Tywin Lanister from Game of Thrones
1:02:36 brother, you really don't want that answered
Elden ring family has more issues than mine, damn
Vaatividya are you messmer brah ? I swear you've been haunting me 😂😂😂
The eggs definitely represent the three siblings.
57:32 so it turns out it was none of that. Marika removed his right eye since he was infected with snakitus, than decided that wasnt enough and chucked him into the garbage bin that was the shadow realm.
Would have been a pretty dope sidequest to join the serpent
Dlc 2 it will be about the sneak 100% it's too obvious
the ghosts dialogue about killing rykard always stuck with me i don't really know why i just like the way he says "run. him. through."
At least we know where the white serpent went “ cough Messmur
The amount of work the lore team at Fromsoft put into items, such as a simple-looking sword is mind-boggling. Barely any player would delve into the stories of anything they pick up, but it seems like anything that can be found could fill an entire book with the story behind it. I can't even fathom the amount of writing and storytelling it would take to connect everything while knowing that only a select few players will actually engage in that part of their game.
This is my favorite youtube channel. Period. Fantastic work always.
It would be nice to hear George.R.R.Martin talk about the story a bit he did wright the entire thing after all
Slightly off about house Marais… the spirit by the shaded castle inner gate explicitly talks about thier fate falling into ruin etc being tied to thier loyalty to the "harpy" that being Melania. Also all the cleanrot knights sitting around. Including thier armor pieces in the boss room.
The chapter titles read a bit like that meme of gandalf insulting saruman, ("Saruman the Stinky!" etc)
In the DLC, white light like this is used by the hornsent and the shadowmen. See the "spira" spell. Clearly the "crucible", those who worship life, would be the enemies of the serpent that wants to devour the world. The "aspects of the crucible" spells when used by Erdtree followers take on a golden hue, but this seems to be the older and "purer" form of the magic. It is also called the "light of birth" as per the Greatsword of Solitude. Can easily imagine this primeval battle before the erdtree between Crucible worshippers who believed in "birth" and differentiation and serpent worshippers who believed in undying eternity and unity.
Eiglay skin flayed? Or is it a molt?
DLC spolier below:
Found a molt in the DLC uphill from bonny town.
I think the bridge in gelmir may be broken because there were so many bodies that their weight broke the bridge
Rykard is, in my opinion, the most fascinating figure in Elden Ring. I have a 'tradition' in FromSoftware games, and it is to wear the weapon / outfit of the boss who impressed me the most. So, no wonder why I'm a Blasphemous Blade bearer. ⚕️
Thank you for this awesome lore video, @VaatiVidya !
