      A: you can chug flasks when he does it.
      B: you can use mohg's shackle to stun him (thus interrupting his ritual)
      C: use the purifying crystal tear that shields you from the incantation (all 3 ticks) entirely.

    Ansbach being a part of Mohg's group makes me think that it didn't always have the murder hobo vibe it does now. He seems too well put together compared to other members like Varre (who radiates crazy person energy), but maybe Ansbach is just better at hiding his murderous tendencies, who knows.

    I think what makes Ansbach such a compelling and memorable character too is not only the fact that the supposed crazed Lord of Bloods most devout follower is a well mannered old man who seeks to understand what’s going on first rather than simply jump to violence and honestly exudes honor like no other npc in my eyes.
    We kill his lord and he is so pragmatic about it all and holds literally no ill will towards us, calling the entire thing basically a fair duel and outcome.
    I think had Miquella never charmed Mogh then Ansbach would’ve been his personal advisor, and in my humble opinion probably the greatest advisor to any of the Demi gods

    The new outer god talisman has a depiction of an erupting volcano but within the eruption is the shape of a woman. Right as I grabbed the talisman in game, I thought of the formless mother. Because the creatures that "guard" or inhabit the ruins where said talisman is found are worshipping the formless mother. They do the exact same thrusting spear move into the sky that Mohg does to pierce the mother.
    It made me also think about how the outer gods are probably akin to those Japanese spirits that people have brought up before.

      @@k2geekd the description doesn't say anything about the hornsent. It says "a clan, who lost everything in the great fires" that could be any of the different groups that were burned by Messmer. They also don't look into a deity and see something twisted. It says "the peered into their ancestors corpse, normally an act of sanctity and saw in its shadow a twisted deity"
      It says nothing about the formless mother either.
      The talisman looks like a volcano erupting though and is found in the prospect town inhabited by the creatures who are doing the same ritual spear thrusting as mohg does. It's just my theory on why it's placed there and why the talisman looks like it does.
      This theory is actually stemming from a bigger theory that another channel put forth. That Lyndell was once a massive volcano. It's a very long theory so I won't go more into it but that is why when I saw that the Outer God heirloom had a volcano deity on it and was near creatures who worship the formless mother, I was very intrigued and wanted to mention my findings.
      I think next time you want to try and get a gotcha "did you read the description?" You should, in fact look up and actually read the description for yourself. I've been reading every item description as I pick up the items so far, so I definitely would have remembered if it said anything about the "hornsent" specifically.

We might not know the details of their promise, but Radahn wouldn’t be the kind to backtrack and flip flop on his words.

    Miquella guided the Albinaurics all the way through. From the moment Miquella enchanted Mohg, Mohg was essentially their “grace” guiding them. They weren’t abandoned at the Liturgical town because not far from there is the portal (they more than likely used) to get to Mohgwyn Palace. They were there waiting on the line as much as Mohg was. Waiting for any sign from Miquella to further journey to a land they can be all accepted in. Essentially all sacrifices

      Shadow of the Erdtree has done a let of legwork in persuading me that, while the Formless Mother and its effects are disgusting... I don't think it's malevolent? It seems to come to the oppressed and downtrodden to empower them, and I think that is legitimate. Rather than exploiting vulnerable people who have no choice but accept, I think the FM reaching out to these groups is actually benevolent? Considering how much Miyazaki enjoys subverting expectations of morality in his work, it would certainly fit his modus operandi.

It would make sense for Ansbach to be a tarnished since most of Mohg's knights were bloody fingers and the bloody fingers were all tarnished.

  • @falgalhutkinsmarzcal3962

    What I find curious is the link between flies, pots, and the Formless Mother. We use fly mold to make four different hefty pots, and the Ailing Village is full of fly-men (upon whom fly mold grows), and the only hornsent residing in the Ailing Village uses Swarm of Flies against us when we find him near the Ailing Talisman. Clearly the Formless Mother uses bloodflies as a medium, but how does she relate to the fly-men? They spit poison, not blood. It seems a bit vague to me. Is the ailing disease a manifestation of all plagues and status ailments since the Ailing Talisman reduces the effectiveness of those recently encountered? If so, is the Formless Mother the source for all ailments, including the Scarlet Rot and Poison and such? I do not think that is true, but it is all a bit murky to me.

    I couldn't help but notice all the empyreans are cruel and wicked to Godfrey's kids. Ranni kills Godwyn for no damn reason, Miquella bodysnatched and reverse groomed Mohg. Morgott got treated like trash even though he was holding down Leyndell for mom. The omen twins were forced to live in the damn sewers while we got monsters like Rykard, Miquella, and Ranni running lose ruining the Lands Between for selfish reasons. This DLC just proved what I already knew...that all of Godfrey's kids were the best demigods and they were done dirty just like their dad was.
    Ansbach, in addition to being the best character in the DLC, was a refreshing twist and I was so happy to see the "good" npc wasn't just some fair maiden but a blood knight. He implies Mohg was enchanted for a while, and I can't help but think a lot of the bloody finger murder cult nonsense was done on Miquella's behalf to open the Land of Shadows. Meanwhile you have Lady Knight Leda who simps harder for Miquella than a Taylor Swift fan. She's a murderer and a deranged zealot who has the audacity to refer to Miquella as "the kind" after what he did to Mohg, Radahn, and presumably Malenia as well.

    I feel like now I’m gonna question the when of these events. When did Miquella charm Mohg, how much was Mohg acting on his own influence. Was it from the beginning, like telepathy and he never built everything. Personally, I imagine it similar to Anasbach- his enchantment was his own fault. He tried to take Miquella for his dynasty and then it got turned on him. I don’t take Miquella’s charm as mind control, you’re still you, it works differently on everyone and more acts as a moral compass. You’re still you, you just act more in compassion. But that’s just my thoughts

  • @CJusticeHappen21

    Maybe it was a mercy. Of a sort.
    Mohg was unjustly treated by Golden Order Society, his own family, and his own Mother. And yeah, having his soul discarded by Miquella sure sounds foul. Yet, Mohg was already in thrall to the Formless Mother, and he was running around with the likes of the Blood Fingers, long before Miquella captured his heart. Who can say what sort of condition his soul was in?
    All of this is to say that while Mohg was abused, and he was used only for his body, he was never a Saint. He was going to come to a foul end, one way or another. Even Ansbach knows this, despite himself.

    • @draw2death421
