Ranni's doll body is several feet shorter than her original body and I like to think this is a constant source of irritation for her. That's why she's always sitting up high when you meet her
I know there’s a lot of eye theories around but I always thought that in Ranni’s case her closed eye would’ve been due her spirit not fully merging with her doll body. If her corpse has a closed eye then it absolutely implies there’s something else to it. I gotta go looking into those theories again
I heard someone say the other day that Mesmer’s eye is also closed. When we learn more about him we may gain the context needed to figure out why Ranni, Melina and Mesmer all have sealed eyes.
It does look like one eye is closed at one point and yet when the angle changes the other eye looks open. I not saying your wrong and it does look that way, but they both look open to me.
It’s possible that taking their rune makes them revert to a husk state. Like how Morgott lost his omen features and became a charred corpse. Ranni didn’t lose her rune so she retains her demigod form maybe
Did you know that in pompei the bodies doesnt preserved this way When they started to excavate the remains they found empty air pockets in the calcified ash the researchers then casted the holes with plaster and they formed a body
Bonfire VN and Zullie... Both instantly receive a watch and a like the moment they pop up. Zullie educates us on the history, and Bonfire zooms in on all that stuff we definitely all have sat there trying to look at.
the fact empyrians' bodies seem to deteriorate like stone instead of flesh, makes me wonder if they have some kind of connection to dragons or something like that, a primordial material that can last forever
Yeah its weird...i aways associate this with 'em beign just vessels on trial for the outter gods thus their bodies are made of sturdier stuff than flesh or just synthetic in some way. edit: This may also explain why Miquellas body(cocoon) is still not petrified; there is a outter god "inside" or trying to get inside.
They were similar to them yes. But they didn’t want equals either, that’s why it was so easy for Ranni to sacrifice the morally best sibling among them. The one who befriended the dragons.
Ranni's condition is from burning. We see Radahn and Malenia in the process of decomposition as well as nameless demigods in the various mausoleums. Only Marika/Radagon seems to have turned to stone.
It would be kind of neat to see someone attempt some sort of "forensics reconstruction" of her original body. Heck, her face is MUCH more intacted than I thought, so....
@@metalface_villain Probably. I feel like her proportions are oddly closer to Radagon than she is to Rennala. But, I feel like the face shape is like her mother's. (Though. The head seems to fit the body better than hers does.)
@@DataDrain02 i did some research about her hair right now too. i saw that she had some longer hair sticking out and that those where blonde and i read that when people decompose their hair turn red, which means ranni might actually be blonde instead of having red hair as many present her, which would be kinda wild. does that mean that to be a real empyrean u gotta look like marika? malenia has red hair too but she suffers from the scarlet rot, which might explain that. also if ranni is indeed blonde, is there a chance she is the renalla looking blonde lady from the first shadow of the erdtree trailer? i would assume that might not fit the timeline but this really opens the door to many wacky theories.
Radagon and marika both look to be made out of marble. It’s interesting to me and made me question if they were sort of perfect living stone or something instead of just regular flesh. Maybe the stone-ification happens for a reason or maybe as gods they’re just built different. Idk
Considering the stone-like appearance of her corpse and the fact that some of her fingers, her arm up to the elbow and an entire foot have fallen off/crumbled away completely, I wonder how long Ranni’s been possessing that Doll body. How long has it truly been since the Night of Black Knives?? I’ve always gotten a sense that’s it’s been quite a while between the Night of Black Knives and the Tarnished’s arrival, like, at least a decade or so but it seems that maybe it’s been far, far longer. Also yes, her body’s all burnt up but it also looks like stone. Her corpse has been there so long that it’s become *petrified.* Petrification doesn’t happen overnight..
In an interview Martin stated the stuff he wrote took place 5,000 years before the present in universe. So if he was responsible for writing about the Night of the Black Knives (which he may or may not be depending on how you interpret things) then she’s been laying there for longer than the pyramids.
The matter of petrification is complicated, because her dad's body is also petrified, and he's still alive. That could just be a consequence of their inhuman physiology, not any real-world chemical process. Frankly, science is altogether inapplicable to the Lands Between, which operates closer to how medieval alchemists believed the world worked. It has absolutely been way, way more than a decade since the Night of the Black Knives. The story trailer said it happened *an age ago.* Characters talk about The Shattering like it's a war they read about in history books, its participants are their mythic heroes. Look at how decrepit the castles are. By the time you arrived, there's already been several generations of *Tarnished* who have arrived, tried, and failed to mend the Elden Ring. Most of them don't even see the guidance of grace anymore. The inhabitants of the Lands Between wander aimlessly; they're immortal, but their wits are long gone. The five thousand years thing probably doesn't apply, though. GRRM wrote the backstory for the entire world. So that five thousand years could literally apply to *any* or *all* of the historical events in the game. Be it the giants, be it the dragons, be it the Eternal Cities. I'd wager its closer to the order of a century or two since The Shattering.
Remember that the night of the black knives was kind of the last straw for marika, which caused her to shatter the elden ring. The elden ring was shattered a very very long time ago, and ranni has been dead since slightly before then
I find her jewelry to be curious detail. The gems almost resemble red glintstone, like what Alberich has embedded in his garbs Given her penchant for sacrifice, it certainly wouldn't be out of character for Ranni to have had a capacity for heretical sorcery, though I suspect becoming a doll would have made it impossible for her to use any longer (Since it needs, you know, blood)
Personally when I saw them I thought of rykard. I'm not sure why I did but I associate the colours with him. I'll have to replay the game to figure out why tho
I think it looks like jewelry in the style of the Crimson Amber Medallion. "The Erdtree's old sap becomes amber, treasured as the most precious of jewels in the age of Godfrey, the first Elden Lord."
Rennala's crown has a mixture of vibrant solid opaque red, green, blue, white, and black gemstones. The RGB are almost all small spherical besides a few exceptions, like slightly larger oval blues. The whites are medium-small spherical. The blacks are medium-small squares. Alberich's gemstones are blood red, but often striated. The gems on Ranni's body's jewelry are... they seem more like a purple-red than straight up red.
@@oliverlarosa8046 Maybe; but possibly, it's just popular jewelry; she also wasn't openly rebellious against the Golden Order, so pointedly avoiding those might have been weird, and wearing Red Glintstone broaches would probably also now that I think about it. It's entirely possible they where just given to her by a parent or one of her brothers, and she didn't care about something being from Erdtree sap or whatnot.
Note that Ranni's body seems to be made from stone, rather than flesh. Parts of it look like they broke off, instead of rotting. Similar to Queen Marika, her body doesn't seem to be made of flesh. Maybe the mark of an Empyrean is to have a body that isn't truly made of flesh and blood?
Might also be part of her magical heritage, as a lot of sorcery stuff is linked to rocks , such as the glintstone crowns, glintstone PEBBLE spell, Claymen/crystal miners/falling star beasts, ect.
@@damienmcneff7715 We've yet to actually see Miquella, so I can't explain them, but I think Malenia is a special case: She is fully inhabited by the god of Rot, and that most likely caused a change in her body. Where Ranni might have been an empty vessel waiting for a god to occupy it and Marika was a filled vessel housing the Elden Ring, Malenia is a filled vessel, and she couldn't house the god of rot without changing into something that could host it.
Possible since there’s still the theory she’s from the amber egg. Radagon had it in his possession the whole time. She could have been a labor of love from brilliant academics minds. 😂
How did it take until this video for me to realize that Ranni's corpse isn't burnt, but turned to stone; just like Marika. It's so obvious in hindsight.

To free herself from the influence of the greater will, allowing her to (with your help) rid the world of destiny and allow its inhabitants to forge their own paths.
@@trashagent9304 Marika is much worse than Ranni look how she treated Godfrey and the Tarnished after she used them for her battles she exiled them to lands where they would be killed Marika is extremely controlling and Cruel and here is a quote from her to her "beloved" children In Marika's own words. Hear me, Demigods. My children beloved. Make of thyselves that which ye desire. Be it a Lord. Be it a God. But should ye fail to become aught at all, ye will be forsaken. Amounting only to sacrifices. Basically she's stating if you dont become either of those things or don't amount to anything than she'd rather you die or become a sacrifice that's not a good parent or a person it's a good thing Ranni did what she did and Marika is one of the Villians in this game
The celestial complexity of Ranni's plan, only to leave a mere corpse on a dilapidated spire combined with music creates emotions I never knew I had, most of them are sad.
Finding her body and connecting the dots to realize it was her was probably one of the most haunting things I've ever experienced in a game. I felt a moment of genuine sorrow for her. She was forced into being something she didn't want, and was willing to give up everything, including her own life to escape. She died alone and then watched everything crumble around her. Can't really blame her for being so defensive and standoffish towards the tarnished.
Welp yeah Ranni pretty much ending up giving everything to put an end to Marika I would say like a sort of revenge as well for what Marika did to her mother it's pretty evident that Ranni and her mother were really close. literally the tarnished dosen't kill Ranni and her mother we kill every other demigod except for them when we could've killed Rennala but chose not to I guess this is also why Ranni takes the Tarnished in as her consort after everything Ranni only has the Tarnished and Rennala left everyone's pretty much gone
The comments be like: 90% All talking about Ranni's big ass in life before killing her Empyrean flesh. 70% theories of his physical appearance (Red hair implicated by the curse of the giants) and the death rune.
so when you take the soul out of the body, the body turns to stone (cause not a living thing) and when you kill the body but leave the soul, then it rottens and body does not turn to stone - like the dead prince at the root of the tree and the cause for infections.
Devs who put Goldmask Rags, Zamor Legwraps, Malenia's Greaves & Fia's small? Also the feet? Aswell as DS2 & DS3 Desert Pyromancer Set? Also Gwynevere in DS1? You might be delusional if you think that the fromsoft devs doesnt do fanservice.
All the people claiming that she sits on a stable of books because she was bigger in her original body... You do know that she is nobility? And that she still completly follows her class norms, in the way she speaks, reacts and behaves. Her sitting/standing above her vassals is just a natural for her, and has nothing to do with the fact that she was bigger before. Looking down on nobility could have easily cost people their head, depending on how much they insit on their status. And the lands between are definitely no different.
This just all but confirmed an idea I’ve been running with about eyes and sealing them in Elden Ring. One represents the body and another the spirit. We see that Ranni’s spirit half, Melina, Mohg, and Messmer all have their left eyes sealed by one way or another. Ranni and Melina we know to be bodiless, and using the fact that Miquella had to divest himself of his flesh to get to the shadow lands, we can guess that Messmer has to be bodiless as well. Leaves Mohg of whom we don’t know whether they are bodiless or not, although he does materialize from a pool of blood. Even for Demigod powers that is a bit odd. I’ve been trying to look for examples in the opposite direction other than Ranni’s doll for a spiritless body having the right eye sealed. Only other example I found is that in the original story trailer it is Godwyn’s left eye that opens after he dies, and we don’t see his right. This video helps a ton because we can also see here that Ranni has her right eye but not her left, the opposite of what the trailer showed for Godwyn when he died which makes sense since Ranni is a spirit without a body, and Godwyn is a body without a spirit.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd Bro, look at the image in the time-stamp. They are identical carvings, in identical positions on the back. Ranni's should be in the bottom left, but it's the same as Godwyn's in the upper right. We know it's Godwyn in the image on the left, and it's supposed to be Ranni's corpse on the right.
@@paulocarvalho6480 mummification is as process made by man, you cant naturally be "mummified", mummies have their insides taken out and replaced with something else, their skin is threated with chemicals so it doesnt fade, the ones in pompeya are PETRIFIED, they are converted to mineral stone by extremely hot melted stone
@@paulocarvalho6480 There is no mummified bodies on Pompeii, there is just holes the corpses left when they were covered by ashes, then the archaeologists fill them with plaster to reveal how they were positioned when they died. The bodies themselves were decomposed, leaving only bones.
Listen, I don't wanna sound crazy, but here is a connection that's always blown me away, but I don't think anyone else sees it. If you look at Ranni's corpse, then look at her legs, *and then* , if you look at the floating debris from the meteor impact in Limgrave, they look like a similar pattern. Why does the debris float in that particular order? So does Radahn's (Edit: Not so much the pattern, just that his legs are disintegrated). I never thought that the Strongest Demigod would be bothered by some sand grinding his legs away. Why? I suspect it has to do with Fate, and how they're all tied together, with their crumbling legs as a sign.
It's possible that Rennala's children all had some kind of disability relating to their legs and feet, since we never see any of them walk or stand up.
@@Solibrae Even ranni's doll body doesn't walk, and is instead carried around by Blaidd/you (at least until the very end cutscene) Rogier also suffered a similar fate when messing with Ranni cursemark stuff.

In Marika's own words. Hear me, Demigods. My children beloved. Make of thyselves that which ye desire. Be it a Lord. Be it a God. But should ye fail to become aught at all, ye will be forsaken. Amounting only to sacrifices. Basically she's stating if you dont become either of those things or don't amount to anything than she'd rather you die or become a sacrifice that's not a good parent or a person it's a good thing Ranni did what she did and Marika is one of the Villians in this game
The celestial complexity of Ranni's plan, only to leave a mere corpse on a dilapidated spire combined with music creates emotions I never knew I had, most of them are sad.
Finding her body and connecting the dots to realize it was her was probably one of the most haunting things I've ever experienced in a game. I felt a moment of genuine sorrow for her. She was forced into being something she didn't want, and was willing to give up everything, including her own life to escape. She died alone and then watched everything crumble around her. Can't really blame her for being so defensive and standoffish towards the tarnished.
Welp yeah Ranni pretty much ending up giving everything to put an end to Marika I would say like a sort of revenge as well for what Marika did to her mother it's pretty evident that Ranni and her mother were really close. literally the tarnished dosen't kill Ranni and her mother we kill every other demigod except for them when we could've killed Rennala but chose not to I guess this is also why Ranni takes the Tarnished in as her consort after everything Ranni only has the Tarnished and Rennala left everyone's pretty much gone
The comments be like:
90% All talking about Ranni's big ass in life before killing her Empyrean flesh.
70% theories of his physical appearance (Red hair implicated by the curse of the giants) and the death rune.
160% is some fun math
How does math work?
"His"?
Her*
so when you take the soul out of the body, the body turns to stone (cause not a living thing) and when you kill the body but leave the soul, then it rottens and body does not turn to stone - like the dead prince at the root of the tree and the cause for infections.
You got that backwards, Godwyn’s body is still alive, his soul is what was killed
@@gaet1893 exactly... he is literally the source of "those who live in death" so his soul is dead but yet his body finds a way to persist.
She's still have that cake
Thank God these devs don't interact with any of this trash community surrounding their games.
Devs who put Goldmask Rags, Zamor Legwraps, Malenia's Greaves & Fia's small? Also the feet? Aswell as DS2 & DS3 Desert Pyromancer Set? Also Gwynevere in DS1? You might be delusional if you think that the fromsoft devs doesnt do fanservice.
@@Sangth123 It must be hard being so unaware. You have my condolences.
@@Sangth123 trash community? Coming from a braindead who plays overwatch
@@Sagume-ido thank u
And shes got the bakery 💪💪
Dry skin is the worst!
🤣
All the people claiming that she sits on a stable of books because she was bigger in her original body...
You do know that she is nobility? And that she still completly follows her class norms, in the way she speaks, reacts and behaves.
Her sitting/standing above her vassals is just a natural for her, and has nothing to do with the fact that she was bigger before.
Looking down on nobility could have easily cost people their head, depending on how much they insit on their status. And the lands between are definitely no different.
This video will not stop me from marrying her
If anything, may this video inspire you to cherish her even more. :( _Remember what she's been through... and always be there for her._
@@MrDibara i will man, 😔🙏🏻 the age of stars will happen
Her track record of betraying everything and everyone who loved her for ultimate power does not bode well.
@@MrDibaranot sure why everyone acts like she’s perfect when she literally betrayed her family and killed a relative for selfish reasons
@@MrDibaraBut she causes Godwyn to turn into the prince of death
Dang, ranni was kinda thick
It is sad that she has to go through all that for her to be free.
This just all but confirmed an idea I’ve been running with about eyes and sealing them in Elden Ring. One represents the body and another the spirit. We see that Ranni’s spirit half, Melina, Mohg, and Messmer all have their left eyes sealed by one way or another. Ranni and Melina we know to be bodiless, and using the fact that Miquella had to divest himself of his flesh to get to the shadow lands, we can guess that Messmer has to be bodiless as well. Leaves Mohg of whom we don’t know whether they are bodiless or not, although he does materialize from a pool of blood. Even for Demigod powers that is a bit odd.
I’ve been trying to look for examples in the opposite direction other than Ranni’s doll for a spiritless body having the right eye sealed. Only other example I found is that in the original story trailer it is Godwyn’s left eye that opens after he dies, and we don’t see his right. This video helps a ton because we can also see here that Ranni has her right eye but not her left, the opposite of what the trailer showed for Godwyn when he died which makes sense since Ranni is a spirit without a body, and Godwyn is a body without a spirit.
my queen. i wonder if we get to see ranni again in the dlc
We might get to see a relative of hers though. Judging from the dlc trailer
IT'S A CORPSE
WHY ARE YA'LL TALKING ABOUT HER "GLUTE"
Because they're literal degens.
:Smash
.next question
Stone?
I knew someone said this.
that be all sir, have a good day
It´s as if they also set her on fire, or perhaps that´s what the strange flame effect of destined death on Malikeths weapon is meant to convey
One part burns(kills) the body(Ranni). The other burns the soul(Godwyn).
I love how accurate the curse mark is to a real centipede, creepy bastards lol
How beautiful she must have been in her original form only to destroy it.
Non corpse ranni is basically Malenia but if she doesn't have rot and was a Mage
1:07 obligatory "Insert finger but hole" joke.
Why the corpse it's so beefcake up?
1:17 Shouldn't Ranni's death-rune scar be the opposite of Godwyn's?
it is. It's the other side.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd Bro, look at the image in the time-stamp. They are identical carvings, in identical positions on the back. Ranni's should be in the bottom left, but it's the same as Godwyn's in the upper right. We know it's Godwyn in the image on the left, and it's supposed to be Ranni's corpse on the right.
@@PhotriusPyrelus The scars are mirrored horizontally only.
Interesting how it seems to have deathroot growing on the body in the concept art.
Reminds me of The Martyrdom of St. Cecilia by Maderno. An embarrassingly undervalued sculpture imo.
Most melancholy game.
Game character or not, nobody deserves to die like that. It reminds me of the mummies of Pompey.
It was very much her choice though. What are you talking about?
there are no mummies on pompeya, petrified and mummified are no the same thing
@@c4n0 I don't mean mummies like the Egyptian ones. They were burnt to death from the extreme heat, covered in ash and eventually mummified.
@@paulocarvalho6480 mummification is as process made by man, you cant naturally be "mummified", mummies have their insides taken out and replaced with something else, their skin is threated with chemicals so it doesnt fade, the ones in pompeya are PETRIFIED, they are converted to mineral stone by extremely hot melted stone
@@paulocarvalho6480 There is no mummified bodies on Pompeii, there is just holes the corpses left when they were covered by ashes, then the archaeologists fill them with plaster to reveal how they were positioned when they died. The bodies themselves were decomposed, leaving only bones.
she's got that red hair frfr
Kuchiyosee no jutsu: Body leaving soul living jutsu.
My main takeaway is that Ranni was caked af
Damn, didn’t know Ranni was hiding an entire bakery back there
she was caked up 🤭
Ranni stole a tall redhead wife from us all
Godskin: There's nothing I can do
Shaded castle. You should check out underneath the ground. ;)
"Would."
The way Godwyn was killed looks so brutal
Somehow the face reminds me of King Tut's mummy
The gem around her chest area is oddly similar to the godskin apostle's jewel.
3 things I gleaned from this
The first:Ranni was tall
The second: one of her eyes was closed
The third: she seems to have had her fathers red hair
Even then she had a bakery
The roundtable hold theme tho
This is sad😭
Lesson learned, skincare
Smash, next question.
Imagine what Ranni felt when her body burned with the rune of dead.
Nothing, because by that time she'd have probably transferred her soul into the doll.
@@00vondough00yeah thats true whereas godwyn felt everything 😂
As far as i know, there's noway to tranfer your soul without your body dying first, so im very sure Ranni had to "die" first.
@@darkunor6687 so she probably felt everything just as godwyn did only shes not a zombie like godywn
my Moon Princess was also Flat chested in her original body too, Glorious!!
her and her bro have matching feet
1:09 Even in death she has de dumpy 😂
Listen, I don't wanna sound crazy, but here is a connection that's always blown me away, but I don't think anyone else sees it.
If you look at Ranni's corpse, then look at her legs, *and then* , if you look at the floating debris from the meteor impact in Limgrave, they look like a similar pattern. Why does the debris float in that particular order?
So does Radahn's (Edit: Not so much the pattern, just that his legs are disintegrated). I never thought that the Strongest Demigod would be bothered by some sand grinding his legs away.
Why? I suspect it has to do with Fate, and how they're all tied together, with their crumbling legs as a sign.
It's possible that Rennala's children all had some kind of disability relating to their legs and feet, since we never see any of them walk or stand up.
@@Solibrae First gen Albinaurics also have those!
@@Solibrae excuse you Rykard can walk just fine with his skinny legs
@@Solibrae Even ranni's doll body doesn't walk, and is instead carried around by Blaidd/you (at least until the very end cutscene) Rogier also suffered a similar fate when messing with Ranni cursemark stuff.
@@fourdayz1414 Yeah, but his body isn't really his original one at that point!
Ranni the Red
Thank you ❤
Fascinating that she seems to have turned to stone, same as Radagon/Marika.
they burnt my cake
ZAMN!
1:07 man...check that out❤
You are strange little man
That stone cake
She turned to stone like Marika
I would.
So... Ranni's a redhead 🥵
A shame, she had quite the bakery too
Still would
HOLD ONNN HOLD ONNNNN
"Beware of hole"
You can see that She had her father bakery
