    One thing I'm surprised no one seems to mention but the Farum Azula worm faces and the Dragonkin both wear similar wraps. The dragon kin almost look like trolls wrapped in Worm face wraps. Also, cheers! =D

      Maybe the worm faces were created by the eternal cities as well to infect the Erdtree/lands between in revenge for their banishment underground.

    Although Faram Azula is not connected to Altus Plateau, one can find godwyn's face on death root up there. I think in a Zullie video they said a translated name of worm faces was "The Uprooted" I imagine either the wormfaces themselves , or the worms that later infect a host, sprout from Godwyn's death root. Also, small flies can be seen buzzing around deathroot thorns, so maybe its more of a maggot. Perhaps they can even infect minor erdtrees...

    • @Nemo12417

      Tarnished Archeologist had a simpler explanation: deathroot is ultimately derived from the Rune of Death. The main portion of the Rune of Death is in Farum Azula.

    I believe they’re some type of parasite that came from the corpse of the prince of death and anyone that has these parasites would slowly rot and mutate and it’s possible that the golden order left them in the forest believing that the Erdtree will keep them from wandering out of that area.🤔🐱

    All things considered, I think that by “uprooted” it refers to the rune of death being removed from the Erdtree, and said result brought forth a mutation to several branches, you can find those monsters in two locations, Altus where Godwyn was unalived and buried close by, and Farum Azula, where the rune of death sealed by Maliketh currently resides (and you can also find zombie beastman/dragonkin there, curiously).
    Deathblight is strongly connected to holy, levelling arcane raises both holy and deathblight defense, and holy is the only element the wormfaces resist.

    it is strange that they are located in the most flourishing part of the brightest region in the game. I think they have a link to Miquella. They don't spread blight to the nearby ecosystem at all, many of them are kneeling as if praying, over items related to Miquella. There HAS to be a missing link

  • @Losaturnalia
    @Losaturnalia ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Deathblight ties them to Godwyn the Golden. So does their locations (Altus, Farum). Maybe followers of Godwyn or those that tended to his burial rites took on his curse? And then like as the curse progressed they were banished from lyndell into the surrounding woods.

Lovecrafts monsters and Im 99% sure that this is a transplant of a creature of one of a story called The Dreamquest of Unknown Kaddath. The wormface are based off of the Moon beastss in that story

They’re all kneeling towards the gazebo. I think there used to be a statue inside the gazebo, most likely of the gloam-eyed Queen.

      "Predominantly found", so I think he simply tried to study them through where they congregate, i.e. where they are more likely to be properly interpreted relative to their environment. Never mind the fact that the Mt. Gelmir one is under the effect of a larval tear, which is really perplexing.

  • @psevdhome

    There's a George R.R. Martin story that may offer some insight: In the House of the Worm.
    A group of stranded military genetic engineers evolve into two societies: one worships the white worm and their leader is surgically altered by removing their limbs until they resemble the white worm. They retain their humanity but their decadent society is slowly dying and retreating closer to the surface as the planet's Sun is dying.
    The second group decided to emulate the worm: they gave their people nightvision and altered their genetics to be able to survive underground so they can survive in the darkness underground when the Sun eventually goes out. They seem to have lost their humanity, they are tribal and animalistic, but adapted to the planet's harsh environment.
    Now lets bring this back to Elden Ring. The worm faces' worms seem to be the ones actually carrying the deathroot. The creatures themselves are merely infected or mutated. I think they may have tried to come up with a solution to the spreading deathroot: instead of persecuting Those who Live in Death, they are trying to consume and absorb the deathroot thus negating its power. Eating it has caused them to transform into hideous worm-creatures that seem to grow larger and spread the worms. Maybe it is as you say, some sort of infection or disease that now is spread by the worms so that the deathroot is spreading faster than it can be negated or absorbed.
    I think they got the same idea at Farum Azula too and mutated into those worm faces. Eventually the idea spread to Altus Plateau or to the woodfolk specifically. The Altus plateau has a lot of pagans and believers in older systems, like the women of Dominula who sacrifice their skin to the Godskin Apostle there. So it's fitting that in the woods and countryside next to the very centre of the Golden Order these ancient beliefs linger.

    at 3:47 especially, it really looks like the first bump in their neck is the location where their neck and head were once located. And after that first big notch in the neck the rest of the wormy head appendage just looks like normal wormface head that continued to grow over the peasant's previous neck and head. That top part of the wormface head has no real definition other than being a long cylinder once it gets past that point where it looks clearly to be in the shape of the prior being's real neck and head. It makes me feel like the peasants weren't fully transformed as much as they were engulfed by their new wormy body and head appendage. It appears that the peasant is still in there and had this worm head grow around their heads, over them, and eventually long past where their old heads used to be. Perhaps they are actually talking like normal people and the acoustics of their new head appendage distorts their voice into what we hear now. Last of all, I'm guessing the reason they attack members outside of their kind is because they were likely hunted and/or persecuted for being carriers of death blight. The golden order was likely very opposed to their existence as they are to much of the death blighted creatures in Elden Ring. So the Wormfaces are probably making a sentient decision to pre-emptively attack when they see us because they see it as, "Why would any non-wormface approach us? The only reason they ever have in the past was too hurt us, hunt us and merc us. So we must attack first is we wish to stand a chance at surviving." Just my 2-cents, these creatures have always been one of the more fascinating oddities in the Lands Between.

  • @azurespectrum1985

    My theory is that they're demihumans who were instructed to consume the infected death root. In the game files, Zullie the witch said that the larger ones are considered female in the model name and also wear that feminie veil. I came to this conclusion when I came to Kennith's keep showing a dead demihuman female near the gate. I dunno but to me there is no relation of these creatures comparing to anything else in the game and it would fit in the theme of this game portraying the inequalty among the species.

What if this is the “undead” version of him when he loses his grace and influence of his tune? Like what is supposed to look like if thousands of years had passed like what has happened to the undead we see walking around the map.

    Personally I subscribe more to the “Erdtree guardian gone wrong” theory. Mutated by deathblight infecting their locally available tree. Still, this doesn’t explain why they’re physically on Farum Azula, but there’s Deathroot there also, so it might not impact the theory.

    • @TheHonoredMadman

      Perhaps they would send earlier afflicted guardians to that quarantined section of farum azula back before things all fell apart but after godwyn was killed. Like during that brief early period before everything completely fell apart but i agree i think theyre formerly guardians. Maybe the guardians are just peasants who have a golden seed implanted in them and those ones got bad ones and thus mutated. Theres even guardians hanging out with the wormfaces in the ruins that i didnt notice til i was editing

    If you want topics from other Souls games, you can't go wrong with Sunbro and his legacy. I mean, at some point between DS1 and DS3, his sword somehow enchanted itself with Jolly Cooperation. I always had a headcanon that it was sorta like the description of Trusty from Kingdom of Loathing (too long to quote, look it up), and the thing just became enchanted by the beliefs of everyone over the centuries of its use. Also, Solaire is on a shield in DS2, that's gotta count for something.
    Shame you haven't played Demon's Souls though, because there's a really interesting lore character in there. Legendary Big M, dude who beat dragons to death with his bare hands. That's about all the lore we get on him, but too badass not to deserve a mention. Plus there's the theory that his corpse or soul or watever was turned into the Flamelurker, which isn't provable, but it makes sense all things equal.

    Another video I enjoyed, a lot! I really get into the rambly ones, because that's how my brain works as well! I was like:' No way! These guys actually talk, and have their own social structure!' I'm probably one of the few that feels sorry for these guys! Either chucked out of "normal society" all together, or used as weapons, like the royally f-ed over Omen! Maybe we get to help the Wormfaces in the DLC, because they are so strongly connected to Death! I'm surprised some of these wasn't at the Haligtree, or at least around the outside, as added defenders. When it got to the area before you find Godwyn and fight Fortisax, all that white suff EVERYWHERE, even waterfalls of it, I have this theory, maybe it's Alburnic and Nox blood! When one of the Astels crashed into it, not only took away their sky, but, damn near killed everyone that lived there! It's not purple, like the waters in front of Godwyn, it's white. Like you kill Alburnics. Just wanted to throw that one out there!

    I've never been able get a handle on these guys. The females being fewer and larger than the males is similar to demi-humans and albinaurics and may imply they're somebody's science project. They were tagged as 'deracine' in the code, which means uprooted in French. Zulie thought this referred to a possible visual similarity between their face and the root plate of a lifted tree. He could be wrong about this. They way the word is used in English is less literal than its French counterpart. If someone is deracinated, it means they're uprooted from their natural geographic, cultural or social environment. This could be a good fit for the wormfaces on the Altus Plateau, if they started off in farum azula. As far as FromSofts back catalogue goes, Bloodborne, apart from being one of their best games, is perfect for someone with a dark sense of humour.
