What the hornscent did to the shaman, is probably one of the most horrific things in elden ring’s story and that’s saying something. I kinda can’t really blame Marika for wanting revenge. but she could have delivered justice to those responsible, shown the people that they should put their faith in golden order. But instead marika burned everything and everyone in the land of shadow, only causing more suffering.
IMO Marika was driven into a permanent mental breakdown from everything that happened. The only people she ever loved and knew were completely wiped out in the most horrific way. This cause her to so paranoid with anything that even remotly may have a chance to rebel. In her eyes, wiping out ANY opposition small or big was a necessity. She was sill a little stable, but then...her son too was murdered and by a family member as well. Further drivng her paranoia. That was the last straw. Now she wanted absolutely everything wiped out as well as herself and the Golden Order. Hence why we are revived and heweg making a weapon to slay a god. Although i dont agree with Ranni's method, I can understand her want to just escape it all. Just abandon and start over. Miquellaa kinda wanted that too although in a more scary way due to the fact that it would be taking away everyones free will thus having "order" in the world
"Those stripped by the lack of lore should all gain knowledge, in the videos of the brother's code. O loreless creature, embrace thine insight, as shall i"
I just realized: Had Marika not done the crusade against the Hornsent, her Omen children would have likely ruled over them. They would gladly obey Morgott and Mogh, leaving Marika to be seen as a benevolent and loving Godess, with the Hornsent worshipping her. That would have been the ultimate revenge.
@@shashankdwivedi5694we know already... This comment was if she chose to not off the hornsent. It was a given that her kids would be her kids regardless, but, if Marika DID NOT CHOOSE TO DO WHAT SHE DID and deem them cursed, she'd have strong hornsent leaders as her kids in The Land of Shadow, rather than misbegotten Omens in The Lands Between. Just a departure from what is now vs what could've been, if only...
“How readily the sensation returns, the runaway spirit of war” Ansbach has quickly become my favorite character in FromSofts history, followed in turn by Ishin and Iguazu from AC6
They finally dropped the video on the dlc, real hyped to listen to it. It's always vaati, zullie and brother's code that i watch for elden soulsborne lore vids. I often prefer to listen to the brother's code vids while busy with things like work, cooking etc which is why their vids are the only ones i watch more than once. Now i just need to wait 5-8 years for elden ring 2 the electric boogaloo to get the next lore vid lol.
When you think about it, the furnace golems might’ve been designed to be Marika and Messmer’s “jars” for the Hornsent: A massive, animated entity powered by living beings stuffed inside it to keep it active.
Hindsight being 20/20, it would've been cool if, after the fight with Leda and her crew, should your character have been aligned with the Formless Mother(like My character was), Ansbach will notice your red eyes, put 2 and 2 together that since We were the one to who came out on top in our duel with Mohg, the Formless Mother now favors Us, and in turn, ask that we allow him to serve under Us the way he served under Mohg. Since now, _We_ are essentially the new Lord or Lady of Blood.
I said the same thing on another video; thinking back on it now, Messmer is more like Filianore, Gwen's daughter from Dark Souls 3 since they were both sent away by their parent to hide some secret from the world; the Land of Shadows and Ringed City, respectively.
God the lore revelations of the DLC were so goood. Metyr was prolly my favorite part. Couldn’t wait to hear yalls interpretation of the DLC!! This video is 🔥🔥
was waiting for this lore video, thanks for compiling the lore of shadow of the erdtree into a video more digestible, thanks for the great videos and have a good one
miquilla is worse then marika by a mile, at least she never robbed anyone of their free will. and what were the hornsent expecting, the shaman to just take everything the hornsent did to them, it was only a matter of time before one of the shaman snapped and killed all the bastards.
Have to wonder if marika went on the same journey divesting herself of things like love Hence why she treats her children like tools The same way miquella views Melania a mere tool a sword
Hey I love the lore videos! Wanted to say I hope you guys try and do kings field! Don’t know too much about it but would love to hear about the lore from you guys since I loved how you make these vids especially ds1 and 2!
Unlike the others there seems to be a lot of bosses that aren’t covered especially the plant flower thing with miquellas great rune overall very well done and great video
I loved this DLC. Shadow of the Erdtree is a spectacle to me. I beat Elden Ring twice recently, and most of the Lands Between just feels lost to time. Everything is abandoned and the world just feels still. Shadow of the Erdtree, from the moment you stepped in, you could feel the grim and horror between the grass and gravestones. The crusades and massacre’s history are still there, and You have to end it. To see this as the land of ascending Godhood, there is little doubt that everything imposed by the Greater Will was a mistake
Hot take but I think Bayle was not a traitor. Knowing the timeline with Placidusax becoming Elden lord it would make sense that the dragon lord would take guidance from the greater will / metyr rather then their own god. I think there was a turning point when Placidusax was no longer Elden lord but still sought guidance. In my opinion Bayle attempted to gain the thrown to allow the dragons to move forward without the greater will and due to not completing the task was demonized leading to dragon communion and drake persecution. In my head canon he tried to save the dragons from the greater will and was not successful leaving the ancient dragons to fall to pieces and for Placidusax to do nothing but wait for further communication that would never come.
Hi There! Sorry if this is too much trouble, I’m having a hard time sorting through all the music in the listed by appearance section. Does anyone know how to figure out which song is playing exactly when Chapter IV begins? Thanks in advance! Been searching through each one and it’s taking a while.
Do you think messmer was actually seen by his own forces ? After seeing so many rebel against his snake like form it almost makes me wonder if they didnt see him during these "purges" I wish we had a better timeline for some of this stuff !
Honestly I would love to see yall branch out into other lore dense series. Cyberpunk 2077 is my vote. I wanna say wh40k but thats an endless wormhole and I dont want yall to devolve into a 40k channel.
I doubt that a great war was what Radahn wanted in his part of the bargain. Because, if it was, then it's out of both his and Miquella's character, how they loved the people under their command. It also doesnt match up with events in the Shattering War.
This confirms that Ranni has the right idea for the Lands Between. Ranni is the only one who didn’t discard her humanity, even if she did discard her flesh. As for Godwyn he was a slave to Marika and the Greater Will because of his war against the dragons. Ranni would’ve been a slave to the Greater had she not enacted the Night of Black Knives to kill Godwyn and free her soul from her Empyrean flesh. While Miquella did bad things to control the world, Ranni did bad things in order to make the world better.
Nope..Radahn never agreed.. That's why we were seeing, miquella talking to no one, and in the fight Radahn is heart stolen like what happens to you mid fight.. That's why they(devs) didn't gave him voice lines! and i don't think the description that Miquella found one that refused to be embraced is about Tarnished.. its about Radahn.. think about it, he stopped the stars to prevent his fate, he fought Malenia cuz he didn't wanted to be the Consort, even when he lost his mind he knew he have to keep himself alive to stop the stars thus preventing fate! or you can believe he did all this to keep his stees alive!
I believe Radahn agreed when they were children and changed his mind as an adult. Miquella being alone in the memory doesn't mean anything because he's in a void. I highly doubt he was in a void when it actually happened.

Yea but in her defence, it was funny
The final line. "Righteous Tarnished. Become our new lord. A lord not for gods, but for men." Is so empowering.
JUST WHEN I NEEDED SOMETHING TO FALL ASLEEP TO.
LETS GOOOOOO.
I was thinking the same thing
Same
"Those stripped by the lack of lore should all gain knowledge, in the videos of the brother's code.

cursed to bore hornsent

@@shashankdwivedi5694the betrayal wasn't the crusade. That came much later in the time line.
Something that’s interested me since the DLC revealed the gates of divinity is how Ranni didn’t need them.
She stripped herself of all flesh first, not even needing to go to the shadow realm
Hearing Kalé say "May chaos take the world" sent the biggest chill up my spine.
Also Igon is best waifu. Change my mind.
Absolutely loved all the music you put on this. A man with taste and understands how to enhance a scene

So I’m still confused why he had to use Moags body to bring Radahn back. Why couldn’t he just use Radahns original body?
It might have just been tainted by the scarlet rot too much for it to be purified again

Is the Dungeater related to the hornsent? It may explain the nubs on his armor.
