I have to pick on your husband a little bit. Volts don’t flow through anything. Current does. 😉 It’s precisely why all materials are a conductor. It’s only a question of how much voltage you need. Lol The videos are getting good!!
I'll be honest, I've happily listened to thousands of hours of people saying the same item descriptions over and over again, and I will continue to happily do so for the foreseeable future. I know I'm not alone in this. But I think we've all earned some sweet, sweet, crackpot theories, including this one. Keep them coming!
This makes so much sense!! I always wondered why Gransax attacked, and the idea of hollowing the tree with lightning?!? That’s my head canon until proven otherwise.
@@MoxieWatts Post TotK while waiting for Shadow of the Erdtree, I’ve been trying to write down my thoughts on how all of ER fits together One of my biggest questions was how we got from GreatTree/Crucible to Erdtree, and your Gransax idea might be what I was missing! Why is burning the Erdtree the FIRST cardinal sin? Maybe Gransax was like “Queenie your age can’t last forever” and strikes the tree?? Makes me think of The Last Jedi when the tree on Ahch-To is struck and Yoda is like “it’s all good, things end!”
Dude what is that absolutely outstanding music you're using in the background??? I haven't even played elden ring and am unaware about the general lore but I enjoyed the whole video bc of the music
My interpretation is the inverse, that the beastmen assaulted those scholars in order to learn lightning magic. Lansseax and Fortissax should be far above whatever knowledge the beastmen have, and they taught at Leyndell, the beastmen also use the clawmark seal, instead of the gravel seal, which is better due to the synergy the latter has with lightning, though the clawmark emphasised their bestial nature before GW granted intelligence, and, I assume, the metamorphosis to the modern day human. Curiously enough, the Crucible Knight, battle compatriot of Godfrey there, is opposed to the beastmen, and will attack them, red lightning is also connected to their reddish gold weapons, funnily enough, and you could say that Omens, crucible incantations and Elden Beast have “draconic” features, all stuff from the previous Erdtree, Granssax was most definitely a powerhouse, possibly as strong or stronger than Placidusax, and, perhaps, wanted to reclaim the Erdtree for his kind, (so, Miyazaki, you could perhaps add a dream/past version of him in the DLC and finally give us the damn Sunlight Spear wink wink) which would explain why the dragons allied with Leyndell, and Leyndell accepted them as allies, the people in charge changed, but the foundations of “gold” were the same. Regarding the destruction of the Erdtree, I kinda doubt it because we’re still dealing with supernatural stuff, you basically burn the entire tree, only to have it restored after, I just think the damage are due to the damage and changes it had, rune of death, shattering etc
the tree exploding theory may help explain why there’s already ash all over the capital, before we burn the erdtree…love the video! actually new info to consider, which is amazing at this point!
I do like the idea that a great electrical fire burned the erdtree from within. The erdtree being hollow has always been interesting to me, because any explanation for it is interesting: it was either always hollow, or it wasn’t at first. My own personal crackpot theory, or headcanon, relating to dragons is… Lansseax. I think Lansseax is actually pronounced “Lan-so”, the same way “portmanteaux” ends with the sound like “toe”. It just rolls off the tongue better-“lance-o”, Lansseax. I know “sax” means boulder but I say changing the sound doesn’t alter the meaning. Lansseax.

@@Sarieldrajust now seeing these comments again. So, yeah, “Lansseax”, like “portmanteau”. But Gransax, Placidusax, and Fortissax, pronounced as they’re spelled. “Sax” as in “saxophone.” I know pronouncing Lansseax differently breaks the convention, it’s just I personally don’t think saying it differently changes the etymological meaning of her name. Like, whatever, it sounds better.
@@Zythryl I like how we dug into this rabbit hole. I tested how their names would sound like in french because i thought it would make the 'x' silent. (used google translate, could be inaccurate) They're read in french as: Lanssix Gransax Placidusa Fortissa To make them sound like a set piece, I make the 'x' silent while keeping the french pronunciation. Lansso Gransa Placidusa Fortissa I've been overly invested in this and I'm glad to be a part of it
I always wondered why Gransax was just…left there. If he wiped out the og Erdtree with one angry lightning bolt, it could explain the blanket of ash once you get back from Farum Azula.
Placidusax was an Elden lord before Marika and Godfrey. Maybe Marika destroying the giants, becoming an Elden god and proclaiming a new Elden lord is what made dragons snap?
An amazing theory. Here I thoght the game could not be more crazy. Before i thoght they just set fire to the tree...as seen by the ash. But now we got time traveling dragons, slaming into it with a lightning spear. Blowing up the tree in Marikas face. And it only happend because there was already a war in the feature. Man how do they come up with this stuff?
Great video! I'm trying to figure out how Gransax died. If your theory is correct and he caused the tree to erupt into a great explosion and fire, that might have been what kills him and he burned in the fire he created? I can't see any evidence he was defeated in battle.
Your crackpot theory is not so cracked pot as much as it is perfumer's bottle - lotsa spice 👌 Makes me wonder about Melina again ... Is she the spirit of the tree itself? She's "burned and bodiless", just like the Erdtree would be after a Gransax bolt!
Dude thats actually how the other theory about Melina being an empyrean started-- i thought she was the spirit of the erdtree, but the more i researched the less sense it made.
@@MoxieWatts that video was awesome about Melina, you paint a vivid picture of her character's incredible depth. Who do you think she is, leading into DLC?
Honestly its pathetic that the golden order got rid of dragons just because they wanted to be the only order to exsist now an forever after despite the dragons want to be friends with them after that twisted order proved its strength already to the dragons hash tag another reason marika is pure evil

yessirr there are many more to come. I too have listened to so many hours, I almost have smoughtowns cadence memorized in my sleep
The smile on my face when I got this notification was like a cheshire cat. Can't wait to watch this when I finish work.
That hollow erdtree explanation was fire 🔥⚡️
I saw the video by Dylan and it just kinda clicked! I ran to Charlie and was like "dude can you explain to dummies like me how this can happen??"
I'm still early in the video but so far I love the footage you've gathered and the way you've edited it together.
tysm ❤
i have a film degree rip
This makes so much sense!! I always wondered why Gransax attacked, and the idea of hollowing the tree with lightning?!? That’s my head canon until proven otherwise.
sick, thanks homie! Glad you liked the idea. I would love to see if someone could prove otherwise cause it lowkey be making sense.

I haven't even played elden ring and am unaware about the general lore but I enjoyed the whole video bc of the music
I broke down and bought an artlist license*
Never thought of the time mechanics of the ancient dragons.
Glad you like it!
Okay, the background music slaps! And thank you for the shoutout (oh my god, mom I’m famous)
Of course!!
I’m glad you switched content.
Thanks homie~ I've been having fun :)
Here after the jack shoutout, your understanding of the lore is so fascinating
Great video looking forward to the dlc content❤
Thank you! I try really hard it’s so freaking vague lol
Love the casual, documentary feel! Amazing content!
tysm! always the vibe homie

So I've always said it
LAN-CE-AXE and i know its wrong but i like the way it sounds
Lansseax= Lan-so
Fortissax= ?
Placidussax= ?
Help me out. I like your headcanon

Thumbs up and a sub for the music alone. 7 min in and there's some stank on that horn. Love it! =)

Placidusax was an Elden lord before Marika and Godfrey. Maybe Marika destroying the giants, becoming an Elden god and proclaiming a new Elden lord is what made dragons snap?
That’s where I was kinda going but idk. There’s some weird time shit happening…. I think it’s more than we know
Holy fuck, your crazy obsessive detective red yarn board is epic.
An amazing theory. Here I thoght the game could not be more crazy.
Before i thoght they just set fire to the tree...as seen by the ash.

Blowing up the tree in Marikas face. And it only happend because there was
already a war in the feature. Man how do they come up with this stuff?
i dunno its a pretty wild theory but I think it could be at least possible, probably never confirmed. Its unlikely but real fun to think about
A+ music choices.
tysm if i cant vibe who can
This is my head cannon now.
Congratulations from Wolfie (of STG) for getting a feature from SmoughTown! He has good taste!
Hey, thanks homie! Smoughtown is my nightly dose of Elden Lore :heart:
@@MoxieWatts agreed, love him to death. He’s a sweetie. Loved the off the wall theory! I might have some video ideas for you
So do you think gransax is the dragon placi is waiting on since hes the biggest and placi uses the bolt of gransax attack ( not weapon )
very interesting choice of music
Why would the Greaterwill want Deathroot to be a thing?
Great video! I'm trying to figure out how Gransax died. If your theory is correct and he caused the tree to erupt into a great explosion and fire, that might have been what kills him and he burned in the fire he created? I can't see any evidence he was defeated in battle.
My friend @banuune has a great theory about this very topic. If you go to her channel she only has a couple videos, its her gransax one.

@@MoxieWatts :
Not really a mystery. The in game descriptions and environmental story telling tell you all about it.
Did I miss something? I feel like some of the descriptions are weird about this. It is possible I missed something because I do that sometimes.
