- Where are ELDEN RING’s “Lands Between”? Does having a location that is neither here nor there even make sense from a physics perspective? Is there a place in spacetime where you can get one-shotted by bosses that clearly read your controller inputs? Noted gamer zaddy Kyle Hill once again explains the science of #EldenRing.

"Doom doo doom doooom doooom doo doo doooom."
Get that reference, and I'll give you a space invader cookie.
So "The Lands Between" isn't just, like, between other lands?
I'm pretty sure it is, kyle just wanted an excuse to talk about light cones
TOO EASY
Yeah
How dare you
It probably is, yeah.
"I'm not mad. I just pressed roll." Most relatable sentence ever.
I loved the way he said that.
Stamina 100% of the time😢
To be fair, Elden ring does have a pretty hefty delay after you press the button before a roll actually executes. This is down to the fact that the developers decided to double bind roll / sprint on the same button, which means the software code needs to work out whether you intended to roll or simply sprint. The game doesn't even start processing your button press until you release the button. The boss fights in elden rings are spectacular but the combat is worse in every way as compared to older soul games and in particular NIOH 2.
This was sooo funny I started crying before laughing.😂😂😂 Kyle never change brother whew.
@@giglioflexCouple things:
Sprint was also bound to roll in the prior titles, this does not explain the feel of a delay in elden ring. I’m not denying the existence of the delay, it does feel like it’s there, but that’s not why.
I’m really here to contend with the “combat is worse in every way” statement, because it’s just odd. Having just come off a recent DS3 all bosses play through, there’s a few things I want to say on the subject. Firstly, I do appreciate DS3’s approach to combat. It’s snappy in a way that all of the other games save for Bloodborne and Sekiro lack. What really contributes to the difference in feel between DS3 and Elden Ring, I think, is the approach to hitstun. DS3 almost always allows you to escape combos (not absolutely always, but there’s usually an out provided). From both an enemy and boss design standpoint, many more enemies in elden ring, buy especially bosses, are capable of forcing more hits out of a single mistake than they probably should. That’s both a matter of attack speed and what seems to be an increased hitstun duration, but I cannot confirm the latter.
But to say that the combat is worse across the board is flat out wrong. There is much more depth to Elden Ring’s combat. DS3 is refined, yes. But Elden Ring makes playing in a variety of different styles practical and entertaining in ways DS3 consistently fails to do. Case in point: playing DS3 with a shield pretty much sucks. They’re not so great at blocking damage, and the stamina loss is just too much on a consistent basis. Elden ring remedies this in a few ways, but I think the most profound have to do with offensive capabilities. One of my runs of elden ring was a stagger focused sword and board build, and I do mean board: I used a partial block wooden shield. Not everything can be blocked, and that’s a good thing. But calculated and well timed blocks can be excellent for maintaining pressure, and guard counters do substantial poise damage. Utilized correctly, shields in elden ring can be a tool for increased aggression rather than their typically passive role in prior games aside from parries. That’s only one example. Using a slower, lower dps weapon for bosses can be effective due to the poise system. Faster weapons can get in attacks mid combo much of the time, allowing for hyper aggressive playstyles. Magic is far less boring. Hitstun against enemies and the diversity of movesets, the utility of weapon skills and the customization that comes with ashes of war, they all come together to make an all around more interesting combat system than DS3, even if at times it lacks the same refinement. DS3’s greatest triumph is it’s consistency, nothing ever feels like bs. Elden Ring has its share of BS, but that goes both ways. A friend of mine ended up on a build so powerful he did 14k straight damage to Mohg and his first attempt, which outright killed him before the phase transition. That was on a first playthrough with no wiki. Elden Ring is far from perfect, but it’s anything but boring or subpar. Every weapon and ability is a tool, and they’re all used in a fairly diverse set of ways that I find incredibly enjoyable. There’s so many different ways to approach any given situation, and most of them are viable.
And yeah, sometimes it does feel annoying. You’ll hit B and find yourself standing right where you started, eating 1000 damage to the face for bo discernible reason. But most of the time their still IS a reason, it’s just not as cut and dry as dark souls, where you know you just mistimed your input. Direction matters, and attacks are often a little harder to read with lots of off tempo timings. The fact that some combos trap you is for better and for worse intentional, and once you know which ones do, it’s now your fault if you let it happen again. The overall loop hasn’t changed: you die, and you learn. There’s so much more to learn in Elden Ring, and that’s why I love it. I love DS3, too, for how fair and refined combat is. You’re never ridiculously strong relative to your enemies, and they’re never overbearing (except Halflight, fuck that guy). I can’t say honestly that one is consistently better than the other in every way, because it’s just flat out not true. Elden ring absolutely does things worse than other games they’ve made, but it knocks it out of the park just as often, and to ignore it’s highs just isn’t giving the game a fair shake.

8:16 so you could call them the Lands Between Time...But what about: the Lands *Before* Time? Are they related somehow? 🤔
Littlefoot approves
Sodium
It's a good idea, but it would imply the existence of a countably infinite set of sequels of noticeably lower quality, and we don't want that.
I would call them more like the “Lands Between Ages”, since time still passes there, but it would be impossible to get there without taking an “Age” to do so. Which makes me wonder, how did-was it Godfrey?-and his Tarnished army leave to fight wars beyond the Lands Between? Hell, what about the Land of Reeds??
(Personally, I think the name is just a name; it probably meant something in the ancient times before Marika and the Erdtree, but thanks to the conquests of the Golden Order, that name is more of a vestigial title)
@@jameshart2622 At least we got a great Jenny Nicholson video out of it!
Saying Elsewhere so many times without a single Khajiit joke is just outrageous
"A video game where a forever baby in a hairy cocoon is captured by a blood daddy with a trident" is perhaps my favorite way I've ever heard Mohg and Miquella described. 😂😂😂
"Remember that *abruptly: I respawned* Remeber that because..."
He knew what my brain was thinking
Elden Ring even includes more of this. Farum Azula was hit with such a cataclysmic amount of energy when Placidusax and Godfrey fought, that it not only shattered the city, it ripped it outside of time. Ranni's entire goal is to gather all these obnoxious gods up, and literally haul them all into deep space and keep them there, forever trapped in the black between the stars, where they can't hurt anyone else.

"When you press the roll button you should roll!"
Felt.
So, I’m no expert and I’ve never even played Elden ring, but based on your model, wouldn’t the Lands Between, in order to remain outside your light cone over time, have to either:
A. Move in space over time, at the speed of light, in relation to your light cone (and presumably everyone else’s) to stay out of them
B. Cease to exist at a time before you can reach them, making them literally just, not real in your time, or
C. Exist in a singular place so far away from anyone’s light cone that they never intersect, presumably in infinite distance so you can’t cheat the system by making your journey a generational one.
The most logical answer for a static place in space being C, wouldn’t that just make the Lands Between… like, the Lands Really Really Far Away?
I was looking for this comment and yea
theoretically the light cone only stops you from getting to a point in space at a specific point in time
given enough time you should be able to get to any point in space just fine
I was waiting the whole video for him to mention it I'm kinda surprised he didn't
Universe is expanding in an accelerated rate. Vast portions of the Universe will always remain inaccessible to us even if we travel at speed of light
@@sailingadventurerRight, so his theory is still valid. I’m just saying when you think about it, this video could kinda be summed up by saying “they’re actually just too far away.” Not that I’d want it to be, cause I love Kyle’s vids 😁 but I’m just saying.
I don't think this video is up to Kyle's standards for a complete explanation.
Given the model he illustrated (at least local enough to be a flat, static universe), any event in spacetime should be reachable from any worldline. Even if it's elsewhere in the present, my future light cone caught it at some point in the past, and my past light cone will catch it at some point in the future.
*Everywhere* except yourself is "elsewhere" in the present. My computer screen is technically elsewhere in my present, it's just that I can see how it was in my past (distance/c time ago) when it left my past light cone, and I can send information that will affect it in the future (distance/c time from now), when it hits my future light cone. Any place "elsewhere" is plenty accessible, you just have to wait a bit.
Lore wise, the lands between is like the purgatory. It's somehow a place both material and immaterial, coherent and incoherent, aggregates several "notions" from all FromSoftware games without clearly showingor naming them. You shouldn't be there, but you're there.
LETS DO THIS! Elden Ring plus Walmart Thor = Awesome!
AcTuAlLy, the forever baby made the blood daddy with the trident capture him from his caccoon so the forever baby could because a sort of ghostish thing to travel to his dad-mom's country and the blood daddy with the trident could be killed and his corpse be turned into the meat puppet for the forever baby's brother-consort questionably consenting soul to inhabit and obliterate you with.

The TH-cam spoilers of “The Three Body Problem” got weird with the explanation of extra dimensions.
not sure about YT vids but the 3Body books are much more accurate than this video IMO, I think Kyle is mistaken about higher dimensional space. The 4D bubbles in 3 body helped me visualise the 4th dimension, it's extremely difficult to describe but I use time to translate the object in the 4th dimension. in reality it's just visualising a 3d shadow of the 4d object "cut" into 3 dimensions. IMO if you wanted to explain Elden rings world then just imagining it's just arbitrarily distant like in this video is not very interesting. One of the ideas posited by theoretical physicists that I think meshes with this world is the idea that there are higher dimensions that aren't accessible at normal energies/scales "folded" away, moving in the "nonexistent" dimension potentially allowing you to "move" to "adjacent" "universes". Imagine our "universe" as a page in a book, right next to other universes that are inaccessible yet adjacent. penrose diagrams geometrically imply white holes that spit out the matter absorbed by black holes into a region of space that disallows communication with any region of space originally accessible around the black hole (like a second event horizon indistinguishable from the normal event horizon of a black hole). it's unprovable but fits the fantasy and reality much better than "in a galaxy far far away"
Okay, so you can’t have a 4th physical dimension anywhere but within mathematics, but the lands between exist entirely in a computer simulation powered by math, then they could be in a 4th dimension, right?

Best thumbnail on TH-cam?
Its really, really good.
I wonder who he commissions to make such a thing. And if he ever gets them printed haha
I actually CAN see the extra dimension in that image. It's called the "Liar dimention."
I love this explanation as it fits well with my head cannon. For me the "Lands Between" is the existence between thought and action. With each choice a player makes bringing them closer to actual movement, for better or worse. Hence why you can respawn infinitely and yet some decisions cannot be taken back once they've occurred.
My theory is its just another way to translate "midgard"
As in "middle earth"
I always thought of the "The Lands Between" as like Asgard, not an actual planet just a plot of physical land in between space, and most likely time.
Its probably like Midgard. "Middle earth", "between land"
This is the coolest thumbnail you have ever crafted
I use to watch your old channel and I finally found you again! (Subscribed)
That thumbnail goes fuckin hard! Nice job
5:30 isn't the time cone diagram just the map of yourself, so doesnt it reason that any other object would have its own time cone, meaning that over time you could interact with object that are in elsewhere over enough time.

Ah, my favorite science guy who is the love child of Tony Stark and Thor Odinson. 😆
Using eldenring as a vehicle to rant about about somthing competley unrelated was absurd and low effort.
The roll button rant made me feel very called out
My light cones are currently equipped to my choice of assorted space waifus and husbandos.
I always thought the lands between were called the lands between since Elden ring seems to borrow some ideas from Norse and midgard is between many of the other realms. Also tbe lands between could be a continent surrounded by fog and outside of that fog are other lands such as “land of reeds” or the “badlands”
If you look in the distance it does seem like the lands between are surrounded
It's definitely somewhere in the shadow of the 4th dimension😂

If Black holes distort light cones towards the singularity.
Does that mean the ending where the player marries Rhanni is inevitable on a long enough time horizon since the cut scene ends in front of what looks like a black hole?
The screen fades to black at the end. Is the cut scene the final event the player sees before crossing the event horizon?
But what if there’s no time?

i was JUST asking myself this question!! Thank you!
Pre-View Comment: I had the original assumption that the lands between were the lands between life and death, or maybe a sort of limbo that is manifested by the sufferer.
Why am I only now realizing why the "Weapons" in Star Rail are Light Cones?
What if these additional planes exist beyond our mind's capability to comprehend or exist outside our perception of reality? I mean a mouse running through a maze doesn't percieve a third dimension to go over the walls. What if we're just mice compared to other entities that exist on these planes we cannot percieve? I mean, there is always "a bigger fish."
I was hoping we'd get more, like how the scadu world exists in the past and present (and maybe future), and how moving through different areas changes when you are.
Does this explain lovecraft?
"The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them. They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen."
"BTW, would." AYO! 😂
I'm just gonna knock down that "look at these 3 dimensions, where could another dimension possibly fit" argument real quick.
You're a two dimensional tolteci shadow spirit. You "face" your audience and proclaim, "look at this 2d graph presented by 1d approximations and tell me where a third dimension could fit".
The other 2 dimensional creatures nod along, being limited by the dimensions of their existence while also being presented the information in 1d approximations.
That's you. That's you right now at 1:21
You literally go on to talk about another spatial dimension. A fourth dimension of spacetime: Time. Where does that fit KYLE?!? WHERE?!
Elsewhere still makes no sense as a LOCATION, because it's definited by your Lightcone (or rather, where you Lightcone doesn't reach), but that Lightcone is based on SpaceTIME, meaning that you just can get to a Location in your "Elsewhere" at a specific time, but you can reach that location at another time in the future (where it's within your Lightcone).
So Star Wars' "A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away" is already "Elsewhere", as our Lightcone can't reach that Galaxy during the time where it's happening, as it's already in the past. And if it's far enough away, then maybe the Lightcone of that Galaxy during that time doesn't include us yet, thus we couldn't know of the existence of that Galaxy yet.
Have you surpassed the DLC yet?
Nobody has, it's too difficult (per people who are bad at the game)
Maybe it's just because I don't play Souls Blood Borne Ring Dies Twice Stabby Fall Over A Lot games (I've watched a fair few people play the games, and I just don't get it), but I like to think I can kinda follow along with these videos either pretty well or at least somewhat.... this video completely lost me. No offense, Kyle. I haven't a scooby what you were on about much of the time this time around. I got the basic concept of Elsewhere..... I think?..... but the way you were explaining it and the context of the whole video was really throwing me off.
It's alright though, they can't all be hits, and I still enjoy your stuff.
Teaching about Minkowski spacetime diagrams and light cones is always cool, BUT...
... you're basically stating "The Lands Between are REALLY far away", because otherwise although you can't access them at the same time as 'now' (oh boy, that's a whole other discussion), you *could* access them in the future, assuming that they continue to exist for long enough (and we solve the huge engineering problems with even small fraction of light speed travel) and don't move spatially (too much).
You might as well just say that:
1. They're sufficiently distant in space.
2. They're sufficiently distant in time.
3. And they either already (again, 'now' is also problematic) no longer exist, or will cease to exist before your future light cone can coincide with their space location.
That works for anyone on Earth currently, but not for the entire possible population of the Universe because then there'd be nowhere in spacetime that the Lands could possibly move to where someone's future light cone wouldn't eventually coincide with (with the caveat about hypotheses regarding things like the heat death of the Universe).
"Furture light cone" and "past light cone" take way too long to say. Is there a simple word for these concepts? If not, then... its time for inventing terminology! How exiciting.
I hereby dub these light cone directions to be Canwards and Maywards.
All possible locations in your future are your Canward locations. They are the places you CAN be.
Similarly, all your possible past locations are your Maywards. They are the places you might have been in order to be here now.
Elsewhere gets dived into 2 parts: Can'tward, and Mayn'tward.
He is still using River Of Blood. That is why he is losing. Man have not adapted to the new meta since 2022.
People always ask WHERE is Elden Ring, but never HOW is Elden Ring. 😞
Oh PLEASE make some follow-ups to this! You cannot tease me about a "causality-defying cylinder" and that top-shaped diagram about time traveling under light speed, only to leave me in darkness of ignorance!
