- After having just completed my BLIND first playthrough of Elden Ring my community were begging me to watch some VaatiVidya Elden Ring videos. After having watched their Elden Ring Prepare To Cry Frenzied Flame video, I can completely understand why! Their video is incredibly well researched, super informative, and artfully well done. Please go support them by checking out their channel at: / @vaatividya

she is so impressed by the quality, wait until she finds out the frenzy song at the end was a custom order for this scene
NO WAY REALLY?????? Truly astounding
@@itsjavachip
This is why you watch until the end
Kale (merchant) voice was in cut content buried in game code, it was recovered and displayed in this video.
its such a sorrow and shame that they cut it out. It felt so emotional and in place. Rather than the nonsensical worship of Hyetta. Though her dialogue did give us one of the most important insight into the Lands Between of all time.
Not a single person in the Souls community noticed the sculpted grapes until Java. Genuinely adore you, Miss Chip 🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣
Honestly I don't know where to be proud or absolutely ashamed, but I'm glad this is your take on it 😂
52:40 - now this is just a theory, but many believe that Melina is either related to, or is the Gloam eyed Queen. This is a character mentioned In lore that was an Empyrean, just like Marika, Ranni, Malenia and Miquella. They were the ones who founded the cult of the Godskins, and would ultimately end up being defeated (but not necessarily killed) by Maliketh, the Black Blade. There’s a very well written theory on why Melina is the Gloam Eyed Queen of past, and it also ties in her shut eye, though it’s just a theory.
I have also thought this to be a possibility. But I have started to not see a lot of relations to it anymore. And instead, there seems to be more suggesting that Melina might be another child of Radagon and Marika, like Malenia and Miquella. Vada also suggests this with a few theories. One such suggestion is that there are 3 types of butterflies to be found, Aeonian butterflies representing Malenia, Nascent butterflies representing Miquella, which leaves us with Smoldering Butterflies. Melina has shown to use some kind of fiery attacks when fighting with her against Morgot. Another thing that suggests a relation between Melina and Marika is that Melina moves incredibly similar to the Black Knife Assassins, which are heavily associated with Marika as they might be from the same tribe (the Numen) and perform Marika’s bidding. Another suggestion, a bit more obscure, is that her name starts with M, similar to Malenia and Miquella, but eh, not a particularly strong one.
One that I thought might be interesting to consider as well is that she does not open her left eye until the very end, which might suggest some kind of malformation? Similar to how Malenia and Miquella also have malformations (eternal rot and eternally nascent). But we just don’t know enough about her to come to any strong theory.
What exactly were other suggestions that showed that Melina might be related to the Gloom-eyed queen besides her one eye being gloomy? And how does this work with the things suggesting that Melina is related to Marika, Malenia and Miquella? Was there anything to be found about the Gloom-eyed Queen being related to Marika? That would be interesting to find out.
@@sinofsloth_2121yes but the Godskins also use flames. Maybe Melina stepped using Black Flames to hide her identity since she never reveals it until the one ending she despised the most when she also didn't get used as kindling so she was actually alive to see it.
Not only that, but she's also heavily implied to be the original Snow Witch/Rannis Mentor.
@@sinofsloth_2121 something you can interpret as a hint for Melina being the Queen is her comment at the end of the Frenzy ending:
"Lord of Frenzied Flame... I will seek you, as far as you may travel... To deliver you what is yours. Destined Death."
The black flames were powered by Destined Death, meaning the Queen and the Godskins wielded Destined Death until it was weakened with Maliketh sealing it away and since Melina lives in this ending, the Rune of Death would be freed as would her real power.
Also to comment on Melina's covered eye, my theory is that it's something like scars from Maliketh. Look at the design and description of Beast Eye, which seems really familiar:
"Claw-marked stone eye received from Gurranq, Beast Clergyman.
It is said to tremble when near Deathroot.
The murky violet iris writhes as if alive."
It was Maliketh who slayed the Queen and does his weapon not basically use magical Death-fire? It looks at least fire-like and Melina says this:
"Me, I'm searching for my purpose given to me by my mother inside the Erdtree long ago, for the reason that I yet live, burned and bodyless."
Being so closely tied to Destined Death, it would makes sense for the Queen's eye to react to Deathroot, the Runes influence.
It's mind-blowing and genuinely inspiring how much work they put into their videos. Big shout out to Vaati! In case you haven't checked out their channel before, please do - this is just one of many fantastic videos they have
Details to find their channel and the Twitter account of his original thumbnail artist can be found in the description
I like that the different AC content creators offer a variety of insight according to their experience with the franchise:
- Fightin Cowboy, Alanah Pearce and Mrhappy1227 (among others) are the experienced veterans providing the most technical details and making the fair comparissons between AC6 and other title from the series and the studio.
- Vaati Vidya and Writing on Games, while not old fans, have played all the games recently so their analysis is focused on the narrative themes of AC6 and providing several tips for those who are used to FromSoftware titles and / or other interactive experiences that involve mechs.
- Iron Pinneaple others who have prefered going into AC6 blindly without any previous experience center their content on the controls, what does it feel to pilot a core for the first time and a guide for newcomers so that they do not get overwhelmed by the customization options.
All of them have conicided on one thing: AC6 is probably one of the most ambicious AAA mech game of the last 10 years.
You had a chance to fight with Yurra at the very beginning of the game. When you are invaded in between the first dragon fight and Patches' cave, Yurra will help you. It just takes a little for him to arrive. Chat was trying to get you to wait, but you won that fight pretty quickly. If you go back and watch that video, Yurra does start talking to you just as you're winning
Damn, how do you remember that???? I'm so impressed
@@itsjavachip your videos and streams get me through my day. Of course I'm paying attention 😊
I sometimes wonder whether people telling 'facts' about the game in the chat have actually played it, because 99% of stuff they say is completely false. Not just here, but it's a common thing among many reaction channels, where chat says a false statement on the lore or something.
Chat on it's way to be the most useless idiots in the world
Yea everytime I watch a reaction video or let’s play of elden ring (or any soulsborne game, really) and the chat is visible, it’s always chock full of misinformation. I think the chatters probably haven’t played the game themselves and are just basing their comments off of watching others play. It can be frustrating to watch them tell the content creator such wrong info.
The blessing of despair is my Favorite ending oriented one, glad to see you react to these - the lore in these games is a great reason why I keep coming back
Yes, some medieval armor did in fact have phallic or more 'anatomically representative' codpieces. XD
Although it was mostly for show rather than for any technical purpose.
I love how you remember all these characters by their fashion :D
You can tell I have my priorities straight 😂
I keep missing your streams because I’m UK based. But love seeing people get into these games. And Vaati is very much a part of the journey. I remember beating Dark Souls and at the end knowing I’d missed something and finding this TH-camr with a series called ‘Prepare to Cry’ on Dark Souls characters, which blew my mind. I love how FromSoft allow players to simply play the game and unravel the story at their own tempo and will. It rewards exploration and conversation with the community. Elden Ring especially has so much going on that it’s near impossible to work it all out.
I can definitely feel George RR Martin influence, especially with the complex family tree and how Marika is such a political operator, almost like Tywin Lannister.
It’s really enjoyable seeing people get to grips with these games and understanding the stories is such a follow up journey.
It sucks that I have to stream at a time zone that means you're unable to join but thrilled you're able to catch up on here! It really is something special how the FromSoft lore all unfolds...or doesn't
Without Kale's questline, I can only imagine people going for the Frenzy ending just out of curiosity or wanting to be objectively evil just to be evil.
There is such an interesting element of human nature that is missing without it in the storyline of that ending, that reaction of "you know what? FUCK IT! Everything goes!" What's left is really bland for how massive the effects are in-world.
Even the warning of Shabriri about sacrificing Melina I can only imagine mostly falling on deaf ears, because really, how much of a connection do we have to Melina? She is even perfectly willing to die and will firmly oppose the Frenzied Flame. So Shabriri (and the narrative of that ending) expects us to care about Melina so much we would go drastically against her own wishes? Seriously, why?
Loving your Elden Ring lore videos! Would love to see more.
This is amazing to hear! I'll definitely do more of them 🤗💖
honestly, when I first met him, I was on board with what Shabriri was saying. but then he just couldn't keep it in his pants about chaos
The Pause queen returns!
Thanks for the great reaction, I really enjoy that you try to make sense of what's being discussed in the video. I'd love it if you could react to the rest of Vaati's Elden Ring movie series, they're all fantastic.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I will definitely react to more of them :)
Please look more the video than your twitch chat, its so sad to see you missing half of the video...
Please never apologize for pausing and speaking your mind. This is the first video I've seen of yours, but no one worth having around is gonna berate you for that.
Yeah I don’t mind some pausing but twenty minutes of it being paused?? The base vid is 29 minutes and this one is 53?? A bit much
30:41 I personally believe the Vyke you fight in the church is some form of remembrance of him, when he had met the corpse of his maiden. A despair so powerful so strong that he had gorged one of his eyes out. Which you can get after defeating his spirit in the church, which was the Fingerprint grape. Another detail is that when Vyke uses his Frenzied Burst spell, only one line shoots out and thats because he only has one eye.
“We all know you would have died from that height, you’re not fooling me”
Game:Well we did fool you 😂
Ok, i cant be the only one that seen the reference at 29:20 hahahaha!!😂
Thank you for sharing this story with us.
Nice rings BTW.
Thanks so much 😊
personally I see it as resetting the clock, and letting the world as a whole start over. as such I say I am the good guy
Im about to do the shabriri treatment to my ears so I can watch the video
5:25 - Yup! If you're going to talk at length, pause the video so you don't miss out some details that might be said.
22:40 ... Epic cinematography and music choice starts here
... OG zone from here on out ..
"Why cut out their eyes for telling a lie"? For "bearing false witness", eh?
44:40 it's insane how much content Fromsoft just leaves in the files. You should look up the cut mimic tear quest line.
My girl you paused to talk all throughout the video, which is fine. But you didn’t pause and watched chat all through the best choreographed fight in any eldenring video ever
May chaos take the world
My first play through I inherited frenzy flame burned the end tree, and cured myself of it by beating the hardest boss in the game, just to protect Malena 😂 simps rise up
May chaos take the world...
That armorset does infact have a codpiece yes
Also I do appreciate actually stopping the video to get your long form thoughts out rather than talking over it
The Lord of Chaos ending is my favorite ending with The Age of Stars ending. They are opposites, but technically both seek to free everyone from the greater will/ and the cursed sufferment that comes from the golden age. In the Lord of chaos ending you basically return everything to its original state- Nothing. Not going to lie, The Lord of Chaos ending is among my favorites even counting the “true” endings of Bloodbourne and Dark Souls III. The game is so beautiful; like, everything is so depressing and terrible, but the more you dig into the lore the more disturbing it becomes but there’s also some hope in it (Ranni’s ending for example). It’s like that with all of Hidetaka’s Miyazaki’s games (part of it is due to his games being inspired by Berserk). That’s why most of his games are among my favorites (some higher than others by a bit). Anyways, it was fun seeing you connect the dots and have them confirm by Vaati. Great Video, excited for more videos like this in the future!!!
Yo Vaati just came out with one of these vids for the Age of Stars ending. You should check it out if you get the chance.
11:06 sounds almost like that Sean Harris or whatever his name is off Red Riding
I can definitely hear it!
For what it's worth: since you're doing the reaction with chat, it really feels like there's a conversation going on. You're interacting with the video and chat in turn so it feels natural vs reaction videos that almost always feel forced. If this is what all reaction videos were like id probably watch more of them lol.
This was genuinely so lovely to read, so thank you so much! I'm new to doing react videos, but knew I would only want to do them if I'm really adding something to it vs just straight watching so that it's not much different from the original video. I'll be posting more so hope you enjoy more!
Peak Machinima!
Codpieces need to make a comeback.
Honestly so true
The peculiar *yellow color* makes me feel actually closer to madness.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
It's possible to save Melina and get rid of the Frenzied Flame. You just have to defeat Malenia and The Dragonlord. It ain't easy but it's possible.
27:32 You fight Vyke in the village near the Dectus Lift.
Kale's Voice Actor is the same guy who voiced Cypher from Valorant.
God that song! That song HAUNTED me after I finished playing!
So mad that they cut kales frenzy quest from the game 😢
24:52 the eye of Vyke reminds me of Junji Ito’s infamous utsumaki (whirl) eye..
Melina revealed her geas
java this is totally random but i just want to commend you for making a name for your gaming stuff on the internet that i can easily remember (at least so far). i sub to so many people on yt and sometimes the algorithm makes them disappear on occasion or the notifs go crazy so i have to just remember on a given moment wha tthe name is. but it seems i havent had any problems so far lmao. like i almost never watch netflix or any shows in the past year or ..its all been youtube stuff so thank you for the javachip name haha.
Omg hahah this was amazing to read thank you so much! I'm glad you can remember :)
Wait where did you watch the endings? I didn't see a reaction of all of them...😢
I haven't posted it yet! I have it filmed though and will be posting it
@@itsjavachip oh okie I should just be patient then, I can barely catch up with your quick uploads on dark souls as it is xD
May chaos take this channel. May chaos take it all
Now Java, who exactly is Melina ?
YES, more lore with Java!!
THAT'S THE SPIRIT BAYBEEEE
Nabil Elouahabis voice for Kale is perfect. You can really hear how disappointed, unseen and left behind he feels. And yeah killing Torrent and betraying Melina is just horrible. But its the best ending imho. Even better than age of stars.
CHAOS!!!
vadjayjay is a Dark Souls purist who thinks, and has said, players who could benefit from challenge settings in FromSoft games, physically or mentally, and have said they wouldn't mind playing the games with such options are "whiners".
You fight him and get his madness spear. Vikes
LMFAO we love a good pun
The wish isn't that you should have watched this during your playthrough.
The wish I have is that you would pick up pieces of information and put them together somehow, during your time playing.
It's not a story being told to you. You kinda gather bits and pieces, and some fit together, while you're playing.
The whole journey to that is YOUR story.
And while I respect Vaati for just speeling it out to everyone, and having that voice....
I don't think he's doing any favours to storytelling in games, as he's just telling it like it would be in a book or movie.
"Ready for consumption" is just not a thing in DarK Souls or Elden Ring.
You tell this story to yourself, while finding more clues to what you have been wrong about, in your assumptions.
You gradually get close to the truth of what happened.
And why you're one of the poor slobs who have to make things right.
you seriously were talking nonstop in one of the most coolest fights in the video.... rip
Torrent really hurt the most tbh i had no idea it was his summon ring and he saw something in the player😢 just to be left behind like that, so i never wanted to go for the flame but i know i may not restart game for all that grind lol hence why I'm glad i steered away from this ending
Yah you haven’t played bloodborne or dark souls because they all have this form of storytelling. I assume demon souls had the same, but dark souls 1 was much bigger and blew everyone’s mind with this kind of lore
Frenzied Flame is literally just a weak sauce of a covenant bro, they do literally everything to advertise their cause. They possess two dead bodies just to try and get you to inherit the frenzied flame. Because Shabriri got so confident from that one success of slandering the whole Caravan. But recently its all been losses, with Vyke, Irina and Yura, and hopefully you Tarnished lot. Don't let the weak get a hold over you.
The whole world burned down just for a girl, totally worth it
lol if you think that codpiece is wild check out some real life historical ones lol…like wild wild compensating or intimidation tactics lol poyoyoyoyoing type
bro if you'd just let the video play 😂
Why not just watch the original video on it’s own instead of a “reaction” video? 😂
Talks during dialogues, looks away during key moments for too long. 😬
1/50th reacting to lore
49/50th talking to chat.
Just...dont post on TH-cam in that case. Youre more interested in chat, and watching you react to something we cannot see or interact with is gods own special torture.
Talking over video, looking away, dozens of pauses yikes.
won't let me dislike, youtube is so weird, so fake. What's the point in living in pretend?
yeah talk though the entire vyke fight about armor and clothes epic i know its sexist and al but its such a woman thing to do most men would be drooling from how much theyd be concentrating you on the other hand wonder how these pants would look with this armor cool man
No disrespect but you added almost half an hour of unnecessary talking. Please just pausing so much.
The talking isn't "unnecessary" - I'm actively watching the video and adding my thoughts and opinions so that viewers are getting a new experience vs. the original and my whole reaction instead of just someone passively watching it. If you wanted to watch a shorter video, just watch the original video
dont watch her then lil pup
It is a “reaction” video 😂
What's so bad about this ending?
All you did was send Torrent to a farm upstate XD
LMFAOOOO yer foul fer this 😂😭
It’s weird, Max0r made the same joke regarding Loretta’s ghost horse in his second video on Elden Ring. Speaking of which, I recommend it for reaction if you haven’t already. It’s called “An Incorrect Summary of Elden Ring | The King & The Serpent”
