    More then a week has passed since the DLC release so a lot have been uncovered and a lot still to be discovered.
    But what have you discovered so far in your trip through the lands of shadow? Leave it down in the comments.
    Ps. The fact that the Two fingers and Fingercreepers are realated and that they have a mother is kinda creepy, not gonna lie.
    Edit: by the way check out my Radahn video as well if you are interested in that topic. Link below

      It's likely she did get in the jar, and came out successfully as a saint, which gave her access to kill the hornsent god. Taking into account what the hornsent were willing to do to other races, I'd say the lands between was better off with Marika.

    The little erdtree says something really important, that seems to have been overlooked by a lot of people.
    "The kindness of gold, without the order"
    Marika represents the kindness of gold, and it was pure kindness before being corrupted by the elden beasts order.
    It's also interesting that radagon is associated with order with the fundamentalist incantations, the cross hatch symbolism, and his characterization as a "leal hound of the golden order". Perhaps radagon was a product of the elden beast, or a corruption of marika via the introduction of order.

    • @DISCOUNTRUSSIAN
      @DISCOUNTRUSSIAN  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I suspect the shamans were always gifted with incantations of Golden nature and Marika was likely a prodigy of particular talent.
      Radagon on the other hand, I feel like he is just a poor sap that follows the orders from the golden order because he can't say no.
      There is some lore indicating that he did not wanted to leave Rennala, but the Greater will, or its agents, basically told him to STFU and obey. that is speculation though.
      But a corruption? no he just feels like a conservative of his order that does not want to see everything burn.

    I know Fromsoft already said that there's only 1 dlc for Elden Ring but didn't that ending leave you wanting more? If the base game is "the Lands Between", in between what? The Shadow realm and another... I'm thinking they left Godwyn and the Gloam-eyed Queen out of the DLC for a reason. Heck even Melina is still a puzzle tbh.

      Marika gave her the secret duty of burning the Erdtree, as we understand by discovering the cell where we find her blade.

    So I know that a lot of people are thinking rn that Godwyn was Miquella's original choice for his consort but that changed when he died but I don't think so.
    I think the attempted resurrection makes sense if you look at it from the perspective of a child "Godwyn was here and we had good times, Godwyn is now gone and we have bad times, if Godwyn comes back maybe so will good times". Miquella tried to "undo" the cause of the shattering. Then when that failed Miquella tried to give him a proper death as talked about in the Golden Epitaph. This also makes sense in the context of a family where death is a foreign concept and nobody there probably knows how to process grief/loss. (Which parallel's Baldur's failed resurrection in Norse Myth that was attempted because the gods wanted him back, despite it going against the rules)
    Another reason could be that Miquella was aware of the spread of deathblight from Godwyn's corpse and hoped that bringing him back (possibly so he could control it) or fully killing him (cutting it off at the source) could end it.

    • @DISCOUNTRUSSIAN
      @DISCOUNTRUSSIAN  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think fromsoft decided that Radahn was the easier design choise for a boss moveset and its mechanics. Jokes aside, your comment is great. Baldur's failed resurrection is an excellent paralel to remember considering that Godwyn's is this worlds Baldur.
      Not having Godwyn in this dlc was such a waste 😕

      @@DISCOUNTRUSSIAN The reason Godwyn wasn't in the DLC is explained by the Death Knight armor. Most of the undead (now that they have a leader in The Prince of Death, referenced in the Call of Tibia item) are waiting for the Age of Duskborn.

    I wonder if this means that Radagon is Marika's 'dedication to hierarchy and the way things are' being divested in order to go from demigod to god after being swayed by the fingers. In the same way Trina is divested.

  • @Toe_Jamson
    @Toe_Jamson 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    It initially clicked with me, even before the DLC came out, that Miquella and Trina were synonymous with Marika and Radagon. I will say though, its difficult to say whether they function the same way. For example, Marika and Radagon may actually be two souls inhabiting one body rather than them being the same person, whereas Trina is a discarded aspect of self from Miquella. As similar as they are, I don't know if I'm comfortable saying they're one to one.

    I have a theory that the two finger ruins of the map are the two fingers of the roundtable and the three fingers of the frenzied flames.
    Metyr was first and came from the location below ymir.
    The round table two fingers are what guided marika, and they landed not far from her village.
    The three fingers landed close to midra.

  • @HoldinAces777
    @HoldinAces777 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I think metyr was the conduit through which the two fingers communicated to the greater will. So the fact that she has had no contact means that all the two fingers have been misguided for a very long time. This is why ymir tells us that marica and the fingers were flawed from the beginning

    I really enjoy how you can sort of change the context for your actions in the DLC with a little roleplaying.
    When fighting Midra, I did it after inheriting the Flame of Frenzy and pictured it as killing off a rival to the title of Lord of Chaos.
    With Miquella, I fought him after completing Ranni's quest so it's more a of battle between the Consorts of two Empyreans.
    Just fun little things like that.

    If Marika and her people are perfect for melding flesh together, I wonder if Radagon combined with her at some point in the history of the lands between, and if this true why was it done? Is Radagon even a singular person, or is it an amalgamation of multiple people that became the Radagon personality in Marika?

  • @Chessheromusic
    @Chessheromusic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    People don't seem to understand what's happening here.
    It's best explained through davincis vitruvian man. The circle being the spiritual/soul side and the square , representing the body and nature. The beast if you will.
    The spiritual side cannot physically impact the world so a consort is needed.
    Miquella divested himself of his physical body and even his love , so forcing redahn to be his consort or physical body is no longer unthinkable for Miquella ...
    When you sacrifice your love your joy and kindness what's left ????
    Nothing but your ambition
    Which believes yourself to be a god
    It's figurative as welll

    • @DISCOUNTRUSSIAN
      @DISCOUNTRUSSIAN  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      The part where only ambition is left I agree but the physical and spiritual body thing I completly disagree.
      Why? because of Marika. She not only interacts with her world, both directly and indirectly, she still has a physical body when we meet her. She has urgency.
      Also the elden beast IS the PHYSICAL manifestation of the elden ring.
      The relation between Consorts of God and Lord is more political and symbolical than it is spiritual.
      But I know from where this theory comes from, it comes fom Griffith and the eclipse, he sacrifices his comrades flesh for power but the price is that he can't directly interact wih the world, he needs a vessel.
      But that's not the case for the empyrians in Elden Ring. They take consorts for practical/political reasons not spiritual ones.
      Radahn is Miquella's consort for the same reason Godfrey is Marika's. They are military commanders who can enforce their regime.
      The point is, all of this was never unthinkable for Miquella, like Griffith he was always and foremost guided by his ambitions. He only seperated the rest to achieve results.
      Edit: The paralels between Davincis vitruvian makes sense but I don't believe it fits very well with what actually happens in elden ring.

      @@DISCOUNTRUSSIAN wow ty
      Like you said there's so much to unpack here
      The jar boys were called the cutest new creature beings by reviewers.
      I think it's crazy to think that none of those reviewers understood the body horror of what those jar boys were and how they were created.
      From the unique ability of the shaman people for their flesh to meld with others ... to everyone being reborn through erdtree burial being almost literally a child of Marika
      And gaining this ability , making grafting possible.
      I haven't found one deal put in this story without purpose.
      That's what completely makes me obsessed with this game.
      I only have one contention. In your disagreement.
      Well one for Marika being a physical being when we meet her.. and one about the nature of consorts being a vessel the way the Marika was a vessel of the Elden ring.
      My contention is in a question. When did we ever see Marika do anything physically???
      How do we see her physically affect the world????
      Bc my contention is that it's radagon who actually does the physical even to fighting.
      In marikas words ... in speaking to radagon ... she asks him to be shattered w her.
      The opening sequence of the game is radagon shattering the Elden ring
      Why would she need to ask him to shatter and be shattered if she could do it herself????
      Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe there is any point where Marika after v coming a god , physically affects the world
      I'm very curious and maybe I'm wrong but I'm very happy to talk with you someone that thinks about this as deeply as I do.
      It's much more interesting to have someone differ in opinion and offer their thoughts then to have them say, wow that all makes sense .
      When radagon actually Marries Renalla , the term consort is never used.
      Turtle pope , says they were married and had 3 children
      So why wasn't radagon rennallas consort for the time he was with her?????
      Obviously it's not a mistake
      It's bc Renalla doesn't need radagon to be a consort bc she is a whole person with a body and not a god
      I do believe that Miquella is taking the same steps to become a god his mother did.
      And that his telling of the story in the first trailer is when he still felt it's a dark path that ruined the world.
      It's not till he divests himself of his love that he doesn't feel it's a dark path anymore.
      The dark path of the empyrean ranni spoke about.
      Also Marika was rebelling against her oppression
      A genocide of her people
      Miquella also has noble goals to fix the world
      While I think , you are right, that taking Ming's body to bring back redahn may have been a thought
      It never would have been an action bc of st Trina
      Bc of his love and kindness
      That's what I meant.
      Bud if he sent maleania to fight redahn. Redahn prolly didn't want to defy the golden order at this point.
      Who would treat miquellas plan the same way they treated Rykard
      The worst kind of blasphemy against Marika and the golden order.
      Of course, it's all symbolic
      The Elden beasts is lanikea super cluster which most life in the Milky Way comes from
      The other place is the Pisces/perseus super cluster
      The force that pulls this super clusters together is known as the great attractor , this is called the greater will in Elden ring
      And the primeval current by sellen
      This is the power of the laws that govern life and death
      And how the nox were trying to create a god to combat the Elden beasts
      I believe the tarnished player character is what's called an unwanted child of Marika
      Bc of the sounds of the walking moseleaums when the player character wakes in the opening sequence
      But for all practical purposes everyone in the lands between is a child of Marika
      Ahh I could talk about this all day
      But do you have a discord or somewhere we could talk
      I'd really enjoy that

      @@Chessheromusic first of all, also happy to discuss the lore with you bro. 👊
      Now, on to the discussion.
      "When did we ever see Marika do anything physically???"
      She shatters the Elden Ring. Radagon is, at the same time, wrestling control from her in order to mend it.
      "Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe there is any point where Marika after v coming a god , physically affects the world"
      Then why be a God, if you can't physically control anything?
      The OUTER GODS uses Empyrians as vessels because they are too big in order to interact with mortals and spread their influence directly, therefore the Empyrian vessels take that role.
      That is not the case with the consorts.
      " So why wasn't radagon rennallas consort for the time he was with her?????"
      He was, king consort of Caria, hes not refered to that title anymore because he divorced and abandoned her.King or queen Consort is a title, one you gain by marrying the ruling figure of your state.
      But hey, how we look at these characters is up for each of us to decide. Thats the beauty of Elden Ring/fromsoft storytelling.
      I enjoy viewing Miquella as a chracter akin to "the Pincre" from Maquiavel. A character driven more by his ambitious pragmatism than his emotional ideologies, but thats me.
      we can agree to dissagree. But don't get me wrong, I enjoy theses discusson and this one is fun as well.

    I personally love the theory that Godwyn was the original consort of Miquella. Ranni, knowing just how psychotic miquella actually is, planned the assassination of godwyn and to escape her two fingers. We know Miquella wanted to revive Godwyn via the eclipse & erdtree process for "those who died a Destined death" but ironically, Radahn held the stars at bay causing the eclipse to never happen, preventing Godwyns revival. I think Miquella realized he was shit out of luck, and targeted Radahn as his next consort. But Godwyn the golden overall would've fit the role of miquellas consort 1000% times better, but was fooled by Radahn & Ranni.
