Man, Kings Field songs just hit every time.

I don't know how you made this without referencing Dune

The jokes are a++++++++++

2+3=5 therefore two trees? Kinda weak ass argument Haven't watched yet tho

Sometimes i think myazakis plan was to make it so getting grabbed twice just played an ending cutscene but was worried gamers would get too upset that they lost their chances to fight him again As a rougelike enjoyer i always find perma deaths really interesting like those encounters stick in my head wayy longer than basically a deathblight proc

Agree.

why does Miquella has four arms, is she the same as Ranni, that is kind of your conclusions, not because they have similarities means they are the same. all speculations. but why does Miquella have four arms? follow and subscribe and I will explain

Marika was the Gloam Eyed Queen

The scadu tree is the predecessor and marija stole it and brought it to the lands between. The dead trees may be failed attempts to make the erd tree. Looking for an original tree in the lands between is a fallacy because the power never originated in the lands between.

This makes a lot of sense given that george RR Martin wrote the backstory for Elden ring is a huge thief of tolkiens works.

So in Placidusax's boss room there are no dragons depicted on the floor (only the pillars) , There is only hawks and... worm beasts? Mer-lions? I always believed the Storm Lord wasn't Placidusax himself but never found hard evidence other than Godfrey supposedly defeating him and hints of Godwyn owning Stormveil before he died.

you sound vaguely like kain from soul reaver that besides great vid 👍

Elden Odin. An old man who seeks knowledge, sacrificed an eye for that knowledge, and lives at the base of world tree. Which if this video is the basis, suggests the backstory to be basically the wars between the Aesir and Vanir and then Ragnarok. Though I believe the Elden Ring series of events are mixed up like: age of the Aesir, Ragnarok, Age of the Vanir, Godwin is killed, the Tarnished is called on to fix the stagnation, Miquella brings a new age of unalloyed gold and "peace". Which also makes me highly suspect that Godwin must have been the brother Miquella made his pact with originally, if they're both inspired by the story of Baldr being killed by treachery and reborn after the end of the world.

the Sir David Attenborough of elden ring

Gofndme to bribe the writers out of their NDA?

Pine cone = pineal gland

the fact that Malenia's bud is right over the cocoon is a really strong proof that Miquela had everything planned out and told all of it to Radahn.

If Radahn halts the stars after Miquella is taken by Mogh, or fights Melania after Miquella is taken, how does Miquella heal Freyja?

Deathrite Birds would've looked like Tweetie Bird.

Hello! Lately I've been checking your library of Elden Ring lore theories, and they are really well explained, narrated and edited, so, good job dude! But I have to say, although they all carry some truth, I think the more and more you make, they start suffering from "you're in too deep bro", as in that they are built on top of each other and they start to carry over more and more speculation to the point that they don't seem as plausible and I feel like the listener has to concede more and more suspension of disbelief. On another topic, much of the elden ring iconography and lore are deriving from Indo-European ages and especially from the evolution of Christianity (for example: the nomads and their attire are based on nomadic turkic attire and their relation to the russian orthodox schism; the evolution of architectural and cultural inspiration comes from the evolution of semitic/christian hotspots Babylon, Rome, Constantinople, then the European neoclassic architecture imitating idealized legends; the inclusion of hermeticism, its ideas and alchemy; and many other examples). All this to say, you express in many videos the idea that marika excises parts of herself to create "children". Well, this is explored very thoroughly in an early Christianity belief system called Gnosticism; I'll try to sum up: in this system God "emanates" instead of creating, by which beings less perfect and embodying ever more earthly attributes come into existence (usually in pairs) as fragments of the original whole; this emanation process can also be done by these "lesser" aspects of God, and culminates in the creation of a "tyrannical" Demiurge, ignorant of its own nature and place in the universe and scised from the whole of God, who creates materiality and mortals, who are birthed with the divine spark capable of ascending them and reuniting them with god. I think you should explore the concepts of gnosticism, emanation, sophia, and yaldabaoth, as to me they are one of the main inspirations for Elden Ring's creation myth, as important if not more than Nordic tradition.

Wow. This was such a fun video to watch. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for a follow up. I think there are a few points that you need to address to make your point clearer and stronger. A lot of this is just cases of re-used assets, which is common in all video games. Without addressing this possibility, adding meaning to it comes across as wishful thinking. It does make for a great story, but it makes your findings seem weak. And I really think you're on to something and want you to take it to the next level. To really strengthen your argument, you should include more cases where different things are shown. If the same motif shows up everywhere, it would suggest it's just being used everywhere. However, if you could really tie the locations together, and then show unrelated locations that don't use the assets it would make a strong case for the motif being connected and not just incidental. Your strongest cases for the motifs being connected are the assets that are slightly different. Like the columns, or the lion brassieres. This shows that the assets are clearly different, but still share a motif. The differences from other locations are probably more important than the similarities. Showing how the locations with connecting themes share a motif, but the locations without common themes have clearly different motifs. Additionally, you assume that people watching this are familiar with Elden Ring lore, which isn't a bad assumption to make. However, adding context for the connecting locations, like Farum Azula and Elphael, would really make it clearer how the locations are connected and why they may share a common motif.

There is a Statue of Marika pouring Libation (from a jar) in the chapel of anticipation. Its a deliberate rework of a the same pose with hooded women seem throughout the lands between. She's just a girl in it. The other inconography and the material the chapel is built from, suggests its from a period when either godfrey or Serosh ruled the region, and the Erdtree religion wasn't the dominant faith. Instead, it appears a culture religiously centered on pouring out jars, possibly to "water" the crucible, was dominant. Those jars might have been the results of the jar saint ritual the hornsent preformed. The statues of Athena-like blonde women with golden spears along the public stairways in Lyndell depict a version of Marika that is reminescent of Mesmer, and might very well match the devices used to impale the giants. This is a grown Marika, unlike the libation statue which depicts a child version. The church of Eiglay, appears to be a reference to the mythological Eglé, a woman who married a snake king, which is later slain by her family after his snake nature is reveal, who turns herself and her children into trees in some versions of the myth. The Erdtree is the same kind of tree Eglè specifically turned into. There is snake skin outside of bonny village that matches Eiglay, but they spent time and effort changing the body. Marika might *literally* be a tree. She might be a Dryad. The grandmother sure seems like one. I said all this, by way of saying- Scum Mage Infa, you Might Be Right. There are statues depicting the process of "crown spouting" throughout liurnia, lyndell, and even the roundtable hold. They all have a melted looking bald guy standing on a tree stump, clutching a plucked branch while others spiral around him from the stump. Sometimes the branch is painted gold. Crown sprouting is a process where new growth arises from a "dead" trunk with a living root system. Crown sprouting is an integral part of *grafting.* The ideal time to graft on a tree is after its felled. Attach your desired plant, and cull the natural growths while it siphons nutrients from the root system. The plant grafted on this way is called a "grafted scion." In trees, a "clone" is a cut off trunk or branch that is replanted. Its genetically identical, but independant. Most trees have both male and female reproductive organs, but you can cut *just* the male and replant if you try. Like Radagon. Another her, who isn't at her level, hasnt grown to godhood, yet. Trees, like most plants, can be pollinated. The can produce hybrid offspring unintentionally unless their environment is culled of "contagion." The process of grafting i outlined above is plagued by "root suckers." Tangled growths of the natural extention of the roots, which must be constantly pruned or they'll stangle the scion- just like how the hornsent and omen are treated. Eventually root suckers will kill the scion. The best solution? Burn it all down to the root stock, and begin crown sprouting again. A tangle of root suckers allowed to overtake a scion, would look just like a tanglehorn. I think, if you look into tree reporduction, you can probably take this theoy to a level where some version of it achieves widespread acceptance. They *are* Marika, genetically. Some are infected, some are pollinated, some she pollinated other fields with.

Well done lorehunter! Very interesting theory.

I don’t think so. When phase two starts, there is red aura leaving him. That could very well be Mohgs or his soul trying to leave this “meat puppet” or new body. Miquella has to embrace him in his “charming” aura for him to fight again. I refuse to believe that Radahn chose to marry his own brother and still have Godfrey as an idol. Wouldn’t that be blasphemous? Also didn’t he want endless battle and war? How would that even work in Miquella’s world of “peace”

It's hilarious how hard this guy is trying to cope with the obvious fact that the "lily" on the LION Greatbow is actually a lion's tail, all of the lion imagery paying homage to Serosh and Godfrey, Radahn's idol.

Here's a fun one - take a look at the in-game clock. 3 great trees, two next to one another of obviously different types and on the other side directly opposite between the two (in their shadow) is a dead tree.

I think a "great tree" refers to a type of tree rather than a specific tree. Like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't a square. It says "the erdtree" but never "the great tree" The great trees have a root network but not the erdtree? Though theyre both connected? What if the erd tree is just a special type of great tree. What happened to the erd tree is happening to the minor erd trees and regular great trees are being tranformed into erd trees through a sort of leak of whatever magic made the orginal erdtree. And is leaking through the roots of the great trees in the same way death root is. Lets say it was marikas herself that caused the erdtree to grow. That explain why the idea of making the halig tree was thought of. The fact that marika created the tree and out of great trees allow her childeren to exploit it in order to over throw her after shattering the elden ring. The power struggle made Mikaela attempt to creat his own more powerful tree and ranny to poison the old one by killing godwyn. Both in there own way seeking power.. Mikaela actuall becoming a god lik marika and ranny just trying to get her freedom is a form of power.

"No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell." -- Carl Jung

Radahn was promised by Miquella to be the next Elden Lord, following in the footsteps of his heroes Godfrey and Radagon- Radahn has NO reason to not want this to be his ending! Radahn consented!!

the "Gloam Eyed Queen" is a retrospective title for Marika :D

Engagement comment

8:16 It's possible the gold is a kind of parasite that is living off of the old tree, which is potentially why it's not solid gold

Is it possible that the trees above the deeproot depths are actually the thick things underground popping out of the top I just had this idea

Ya know.. it's so beautiful how they put in this stuff for ppl to find, usually it's just some thing they added that doesn't go past the wall and just adds an effect to the area it's in These guys instead add an entire model to the game area like it's not JUST part of the level but part of the world Game of the year indeed
