    As for the stuff with Maliketh, here is the short of it: I can't remember if you met him during your playthrough or not, but he is the same Beast Clergyman you meet in northern Dragonburrow and give Deathroot to. The fragment of the rune of death was stolen from his blade, and he chose to live as a solitary priest with the rest of the weapon sealed inside of him so no more of the rune of death could be taken. There's actually different dialogue if you progressed his story before fighting him by giving him all the deathroot in the game, and you learn a little more about who he is. Much like Blaidd was both Ranni's shadow, protector and half brother Maliketh was all the same to Queen Marika and she tasked him with wielding and protecting the rune of death.

    Maliketh was the second to Queen Marika who tasked him to guard the rune of death. However, a piece of his rune was stollen, being used to kill Godwyn (well, more like half-kill as this act created undead like skeletons) as well as kicked off the Shattering. Maliketh attacks you because he's super paranoid about getting his rune stolen after it got screwed with the first time.

  • @swellow28
    @swellow28 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    To answer your question as to what the cutscene at the end means, Malekith is Marika's shade, kind of like how Blaidd is to Ranni. When Queen Marika became the bearer of the Elden Ring during her reign, she removed Destined Death, the aspect of guaranteed death in The Lands Between, hence why when we rest at a grace most enemies come back to life. Instead of death, their souls are essentially brought back to the Erdtree, where it sends them back to where they were before, making the cycle of life is everlasting. You can see how death and the Erdtree are connected when you enter dungeons and you see tons of bodies and skeletons surrounded by roots.
    When Marika removed Destined Death from the Lands Between, she imparted it into her shade, Malekith. He has it in the black blade, which he wears inside the pendant on his hand. When he was first given Destined Death, Ranni stole a shard, just a shard, and gave it to this group of assassins that were hired to kill demigods, starting with Marika and Godfrey's first born son, Godwyn the Golden.
    So when you beat Malekith, you basically brought back guaranteed death, lore-wise.

    6:48 ok, let me explain, the elden ring is basically the "code" of the world, all the laws of physics are supposed to be written there, like the law of casuality, and entrophy, each law is a rune, Malekith was Marika's shadow, Marika was the one who took care of the elden ring (she was not the elden lord, the elden lord is the one who take's care of Marika, so she is like the original "maiden"), so she took the rune of death out of the elden ring and bound it to her shadow giving her control over death, also the reason why there are so many skeletons and ghosts around. So that's why your health gets like that when you are hit by the sword, AKA the rune of death.

    Malekith is important because he as a shadow of Marika, has the rune of death bound to his sword. This rune is one of the main governmental powers in the lands between. It being bound also means the erdtree is undying. Meaning unbinding it does? Basically let's the giants flame have affect.

    Maliketh is my second favorite character only to be topped by Radahn, the design of both forms is absolutely astonishing with him being the main user and guardian of what’s probably the most powerful form of magic in all of the lands between, “Destined Death” aka “The Rune Of Death”
    Being able to kill gods themselves. Yet sadly he was only a tool of his sister Marika and the 2 Fingers. In all of his items it talks about how he has slain even the strongest of champions especially with his going full guardian mode after Ranni stole the Rune Of Death the first time. Not to mention he has some of the coolest gear as a boss and gameplay wise, the heath drain and the lowered hp make for a astounding combo

    Previously on elden ring....
    After killing the Coolest dragon in the game our hero unfortunately has met a problem. Bleed seems to glitch out phase 2 of bosses which would make thier fights meaningless. So he tries to make a new fire bulid which absolutely wont go wrong like last time. After getting his ass beat by a familiar duo who was unfortunately was victim of the glitch he gets to fight them again. However Afro decides one last bulid. Using a hideous sword combined with the blade Jesus himself. He fights them one more time to finally kick thier ass the way it was meant to be the first time. With his new weapons at arm what awaits Afro now? Will he find a harder challenge than maleina? Will this glitch suck the fun out of the ass beatings? And will Afro become elden lord? Next time on....

    The importance of Maliketh is that he is the holder of the Rune of Death which is also Destined Death and with it being unbound by his death things can die again. He's protecting what is left of it after what you see in the games opening cutscene with Godwyn dying. He's just trying to stop you from what your going to find later on.

    If you want a simple explanation: Maliketh was sealing destined death, the weird red run you touched in the cutscene after the boss. As the name implies, this rune is what lets people die. The reason you get runes and remembrance upon defeating enemies is because they return to the erd tree, so they do not truly die.
