    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.

    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.

    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.

    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”

  • @casperghost9808
    @casperghost9808 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    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.
