The roots of the tree is dead people. You can see them in dungeons. That really good shot of Marika holding up the strands could be her creating the erdtree
The roots 'feed' off the dead. That's the whole thing with erdtree burials, the dungeons / catacombs are where they are because there are roots to put bodies on. The erdtree being made from the dead could explain why the erdtree needs to continue feeding off the dead.
@@KTheStruggler it would also explain why Miquella is venturing into the Shadows. He attempted to grow his own Erdtree using his own blood, to no avail. That’s why he’s going to the Shadows, he’s trying to find out what exactly Marika did to birth an Erdtree into a new Era. He knows blood is important for Erdtree growth, but I suppose he’ll be in for a surprise after finding out to what extent of lengths he’d have to go through to actually birth a new age. Bottom line is: Blood sacrifice is used, in differing ways, in the game to signify a relationship to the growing of Trees and Eras (also in ASOIAF)
@@HeevaEgo When he finds out that bodies are needed, what if he pulls a Griffith and sacrifices the Tarnished at the end that want to follow in Miquella's footsteps or his journey?
bro imagine they pull a demon souls on us and miquella just bites Mesmer's head off right before you fight him and turns into some giant fuck off demon ting
Just a movie wouldn't be able to capture the scale of elden ring and how much it has to offer without cutting out so much content to the point that it would probably suck
The games are enough. If they adapt it for TV or movies, production money and executives will water it down. Just let it be as it is, it’s already great
Thank you Jev thanks to the diversity of your content I have expanded the games I play from pretty much only multiplayer games into enjoying gaming for myself. Finished God of War 1 today and starting dark souls, love diving into classic games I never got the chance to play when I was younger and I’m making plans to produce good gaming content of my own. Much love Ty Jev🧡
I feel like it’s not bad to assume that maybe the dlc area existed along with the lands between that we have known the entire time, almost like a stranger things upside down, while the war was happening on the bottom (the dark) and as miquella was doing the thing with the strands it was bleeding into the lands between (the light) and that’s how we got the grace towers we see in the trailer plus the actual sites of grace in the game. Potentially after that war miquella used the lands between to sort of restart the world for the golden order since they had lost the war to messmer. Idk maybe I’m just yappin
I saw someone say (think Ziostorm) that the beginning of the trailer could be the Night of the Godskin Hunt. That event never happen in the Land Between, and we also don't know just how many gods were supposedly skinned that night...or really for what reason
In the last shot with all the tarnished, the sky also has those drapes from Marika's bed chamber. I dont know what that could mean but its gotta mean something.
It could be the gloam eyed queen she is pulling grace from as the Queen was an Imperian. And then using that she forms her rune and creates the erdtree from the bodies of the dead. which throughout the game we went to the 2 fingers at the top of the towers to actually activate the rune from a defeated boss. That much is clear but it still doesn’t explain Miquella coming here. And seemingly by choice. As mohg taking miquella and miquella choosing to come to the land of shadow seem to contradict each other.
She could be pulling out the idea of death itself and repurposing it to where souls are no longer sent to wherever but to the erdtree as we know happens now. The place she does it in also looks like it’d be the same as the erdtree sanctuary since it has a similar opening to it as the arena. Maybe all the dark area that was behind her all got closed off (to our eyes) with the tree being formed
That first shot looks like the entrance to the erdtree to fight radagon. It would make sense since when we burn the erdtree it turns red. I don’t think it’s the flames but I think it’s revealing what it truly is.
I dont know if its just the aesthetic but at the end when the followers are at the sight of grace it looks like vare is in the back but with a golden mask instead of a white one maybe because he decided to finally chose a side since he was kind of sketch to begin with but it looks like vare is wearing a gold mask which i think means he chose to side with marika
I just realized look at the "foot of the erdtree" the bodies are shaped like a tree but also on the left side a "foot", Melina said "I was born at the foot of the erdtree" the cloth looks like the godskin cloth and they served the Gloam eyed Queen...maybe that literally is Melina in the cloth it makes sense now as to who the mother if maybe its Marika or perhaps the mother is Gloam eyed Queen and Radagon is her father which is still Marika
Im praying to god that they use the track that they used in this trailer as Messmers OST, bc its sooo good bro. And that shot with Messmer holding his spear up with all the flames in the back... looks kinda like hes just watching a bunch of those impaled lion dancer things burn. It gave such a sense of dread lol
Kinda but I’m thinking that’s it’s Melina because this could give us some backstory on how she lost an eye or how she got torrent to begin with but this could all be explained in lore we already know idk
The sites of grace bear a very similar rune to Malenia's great rune. They are siblings so I guess it is fitting. It makes sense to have these in the land of shadows, the land devoid of all grace. We're gonna technically be following Miquella's footsteps by following the sites of grace which he created. Possibly helping him become the new "Marika" Like he promised to Malenia.
The "cloth" that she reaches into looks like godskin armor. It may be a dead "god" from before the lands between that she's reaching into and pulling out it's grace.
What if the 2 sides wall of bloodied bodies was fused together by Marika's grace of gold to form the Erdtree? So those bodies in combination with grace are literally what the Erdtree is made out of. Edit: Okay, well Jev came to a somewhat similar conclusion.
That movie cinematic scene kinda looks like he or she is pulling the tree in and creating maybe a weird erdtree of flesh but that’s just a little theory
I’m thinking miquella is attempting to eradicate the golden order included the shadow erdtree to free the lands between. I think he also wants to remove all outer gods and to become one himself. He removed his empereyan status but I think he’s aiming for something higher. We also know Marika never really wanted this or we would’ve never got the original game.
@@jonreinert6502 no ranni was assassinated by the black knifes. There’s a dialogue o with melania when you get close to the capitol where she explains she is burnt and body less and that’s why she needs you to bring her to the erd tree
I think it’s her threading a sheet over the one of shadows to hide the ugliness of what got her to power. In other scenes you see the sky has like a frantic drape over the sky…
I have a theory. In the trailer it says "will you walk with us?" to me that seems like there is a choice to side with Miquella or not. If we don't side with Miquella then we would assumedly side with Messmer. In Sekiro there is two endings one where you side with Kuro and keep him safe and one where you don't. It would be cool if when we decide to side with Messmer we would fight Miquella and if we side with Miquella we fight Messmer.
I have a theory, as we can speculate, but i think the gloom eye queen and marika were allies, because is the gloom eye queen the queen of god skin peelers, i believe gloom queen did the true dirty job of getting the bodies and taking the skin out for some reason. And then gloom was betrayed by marika, hence why we see a woman in her knees in the middle of the war, a war created by Mesmer and commanded by Marika. We can also see that in the game, marika took the death rune away, and thus having the gloom eye queen powerless. This is the betrayal i think they are talking about.

Lol bro said she reached into cloth, my brother in arms that is most likely skin.
I was thinking that too
@@Verspucci yeah all the bodies look liked they’re just skinned and pilled up
there is stitching and small hairs, id say its an open shirt and she reaches in for where the heart would be

5:34 This whole scene reminds me of FMA and how the philosophers stones are made. Hundreds of thousands of lives for near immortality.
This game gives me the same feeling as lord of the rings for the first time
In the last shot with all the tarnished, the sky also has those drapes from Marika's bed chamber. I dont know what that could mean but its gotta mean something.
What a wholesome video. I can tell Jev genuine,y enjoys this game and it makes it ten x more fun to watch! Can’t wait to watch u play the dlc❤

Jev playing this gone be such a good series! The rage moments, the new bosses, the wins! I can't wait 🔥
If you go to certain catacombs and at the boss room, you can see the roots of the tree with bodies on them
Those bodies might have something to do with the "Erdtree burial" custom.
4:20 is that not just miquella and she’s pulling out the strands of gold hair?
Dude can you please make videos explaining all of the Elden Ring lore. You explain it so well
There is VaatiVidya for mate.
Thanks for the upload Jev but WHERES GHOST OF TSUSHIMA?
No fr please play this again
He’s made it clear it was a one off. Move on it’s mid
@@bimblor7945it ain’t mid fam you trippin sorry it’s not all gameplay based
Excited to see more or learn more about Merika I loved hearing about her at the church graces from Malenia was so interesting.
I can’t lie, I was very surprised to see jev bang on about the meaning of each shot of this trailer.
at 8:16 i was thinking it was a dress/ outfit similar to the maidens thats in the church vyke invades you at
Kinda but I’m thinking that’s it’s Melina because this could give us some backstory on how she lost an eye or how she got torrent to begin with but this could all be explained in lore we already know idk
aint that miquela not marika because he was in that cacoon that mogh put miquella in thats whast that thing looks like what she reached for
4:01
the shot at 2:47 is pure cinema
Seeing the shot @ 4:46 makes me think…
Was the crucible tree….
NOT made of wood..?
I have to finish quick my last playthrough before the release date and use that character to start the DLC
Started a new game again on elden ring for the DLC and man I’m so hyped. Greatsword build so much fun
I need ur help with the fire giant
@@j-dogthebeast978aim for the ankle in the first phase then the hands in the second just be careful of the fire he shoots at you
The only pre-purchase I've ever been confident about. I can't freaking wait!
This looks insane bro I can’t fucking wait to see what they have made for us. Can’t wait to see jev play this man
The sites of grace bear a very similar rune to Malenia's great rune. They are siblings so I guess it is fitting.
It makes sense to have these in the land of shadows, the land devoid of all grace.
We're gonna technically be following Miquella's footsteps by following the sites of grace which he created.
Possibly helping him become the new "Marika" Like he promised to Malenia.
This seems the most plausible. His entire plot was to try and become a new god of the land, maybe he’ll succeed in this dlc?
The "cloth" that she reaches into looks like godskin armor. It may be a dead "god" from before the lands between that she's reaching into and pulling out it's grace.
This whole dlc just looks insane. With fromsoft's track record of dlc's like ds3 and bloodborne, this one is going to be a hit for sure.
Been waiting for you Jev to react to this yesterday
What if the 2 sides wall of bloodied bodies was fused together by Marika's grace of gold to form the Erdtree? So those bodies in combination with grace are literally what the Erdtree is made out of.
Edit: Okay, well Jev came to a somewhat similar conclusion.
12 player super hard raid boss where you need really good gear, builds and roles in the fight. That would be sick lol
Subtitles be like “what’s going on guys it’s jeth”
Cant wait to watch jev play the dlc
I’m most hype for this video cause it means more Sparking Zero at SGF
Melina&Messmer are brothers and children of Marika/Radagon&Gloam-Eye Queen
Proper reminds me of the Destiny lore, the light and darkness, the guardians and tarnished etc
Been waiting all day for jevs reaction
Intro sentence makes me think marika smashed a different outer god in the beginning and snaked him to put the golden order in power
I would genuinely watch 4+ hour video of Jev just talking about Elden Ring Lore
I would fall asleep watching it 😂😂
i love you jev ever since you entered the souls franchise i love u even more
idk how good that sword will be at 8:12 is but i want it NOW!
