Wow… I felt like I understood the story and world of Elden Ring better than the other games, likely because I’ve come to look at these stories through your eyes. You still manage to blow my mind, however! Thank you once again for your beautiful interpretation of the masterpiece that this game turned out to be.
Or maybe you are just used already to how FS represent the story and you know where to look for the lore
MY FAVORITE ARTIST HIIIIIII!!!!!
I just noticed that the symbol on the thorn wall of the elden tree looks similar to the nordic rune of wyrd or the web of wyrd which means fate or destiny maybe that changes sth
Been waiting for you to drop some lore videos, such a beautiful video, you did an incredible job! Excited to see you dive deeper into each side of the war, feels like FromSoftware tried their best with this story
hello skyes
Amazing. I always look to you for story and lore explanation. I never can wrap my head around it all haha
Dameee
@Verdant Hyborian that’s insane haha it needs to be a funded documentary
Did you see that lore map? Multiple peoplel worked together on that. I don’t think any one person could wrap their head around the story.
Tortoise being forever “dog” and being simply excepted by the community is still my favorite piece of lore from Elden Ring
accepted* sorry just had to correct lol
O’ You do not have the right O’ you do not have the right, All the more, you do not have the right
Can anybody explain to me what’s going? Lol…I think I have missed the meme. I was attending a social function on Mars.
tort…what?
I’ve encountered many dogs. Slow dogs. Glitched dogs. Alien dogs. Dogs who look like little dudes in tuxedos. Flying dogs. And many more.
“And I suspect it was probably because of these lobsters….”
That was quality humor right there 😂
@Generic YouTube Account Thanks, that’s going to be in my nightmares tonight
Seriously, grade A joke right there. Those goddamn lobsters fucked me so many times when I first got to Liurnia
@faber green What about a Runebear riding a lobster? Sounds like something they would do lol
@Admiral General Aladeen I mean, a single Runebear could 100% take Godfrey, Radagon and the Elden Beast at the same time. Those things are actual abominations. So why not lobsters too
imagine thinking Godfrey and the Crucible Knights lost to the lobster. I mean its possible u know 😂🤣
i checked his channel every day, ITS FINALLY HERE!
Wouldn’t need to check if y’all where subscribed…. Subscribe! I’ll I’ll invade your worlds and rivers of blood spam you! 🤣🤣
Another amazing video!!
@JarRarWinks Geimer Gaol
Considering so many of us have done this, I think vaati has built an amazing community
Same
A lot of people seem to miss Ranni sitting on a dead two fingers when they talk about her I’m glad you caught it. In fact it looks as though it was mangled not just killed which suggest there was hatred in its killing.
LOL that last line is so strange and its truth makes it hilarious.
From my understanding Ranni stole a Fragment of Destined Death to kill herself and escape from her Empyrien Body that is bound to the greater Will, since she is drawn to other outer Gods. The Black Knifes who serve the two Fingers (Assassins Incantations) used this to kill Godwyn. Maybe for the same Reason the nameless King was exciled, he befriended the ancient Dragons they fought War for so long. If the Greater Will was involved in Godwyns Death it would explain why Marika shattered the Elden Ring after learning the Truth about the Death of her Firstborne.
Or Ranni was just pissed at the greater Will because her Father left her Family to go and impregnant himself.
Crazy to me that they don’t, it was the first thing I noticed
Which I honestly don’t get cuz the scene focuses on the mangled corpse for a little bit.
The dungeons at the end of catacombs was always so freaky to me. Dozens of bodies all merging into the strange bed of chaos looking gnarled mess of roots in the back. I knew something had to be involved there.
I always was worried something would come out of them after killing a shade or duelist
Whatever it is,
Rump ahead. Therefore offer pickle
From soft hid a lore detail in a children’s picture book, I think the “dogs” in elden ring are really some eldritch beasts called “tortoises”
Nonsense! Please cease that “tortoise” gibberish you mention at once!
Is tortoises a breed of dog? I’m confused
liar ahead
“I doubt you could even imagine…” the insane effort put into this video!
This video is a masterpiece, it brought tears to my eyes, great job!
