Honestly, I'm just happy to finally see something that isn't "Here's something no player would ever find that makes the story of Elden Ring make sense." No offense to you of course, love your work.
Has anyone figured out what happens if Godrick is at low health when he hits himself to activate phase 2? does he kill himself if he's low health enough?
Wait....there's spikes at the top of one elevator shaft?! Huh...never knew that but...I'm not surprised either. The mimic in that place 100% got me though. I leave no chest un-smacked now because of that thing.
I feel like this either implies the idea of The Lands Between being a "shore" that points to it being a form of purgatory, or we might be seeing more water-based shenanigans with From Soft in future games
I thought I remembered the giant would continue throwing firebombs into the arena after beating iron golem and the timing to hit the gold circle was strict if you were stuck on the other side
I always assumed he stops throwing bombs once you defeat the boss because you need to interact with the golden ring, and they didn't want the bombs to get in the way of that.
Hey Zullie, do you know anything about the glowing skulls placement through the Lands Between? Is it somehow related to multiplayer or is it truly random?
Side note: listen to this track with a subwoofer or anything with really low bass response. I'd never heard the standup bass going completely apeshit before now
So many hours into ds1, i even know SF by Heart with all the objects by now - never ever have u tried to force spell those bombs nor did i've only destroyed the bombs leaving the poor giant alive. Acutally those fellas have place in my Heart and i Always spare them.
My theory on why the giant stops throwing bombs after killing the golem is that since sen's fortress should be like a "trial" for the people that want to reach anor Londo, after killing the last obstacle (the golem) the giant simply doesn't have any reason to attack you anymore since you earned the access to the city.
Narrative is pretty dull. I can't find anything to describe my claim because there is no instance when the game's narrative feel good or important. It's all just... meeeeh. Like... I've heard it all before but now it's said with other words.
Unemployed giants.. theyre just hanging around blocking the sidewalk. Smoking and intimidating the elderly as they shuffle by nervously. Something has to change.. those bums.
isn't the same concept also in Evergrace in some way? I haven't played it in years but something about trees in the distance in the first area keeps coming to mind
I think I always sniped the ball-throwing giant long before I got to the Iron Golem's arena, so I never even considered that he could be an extra challenging element to that fight. I love learning details like these!
Destructible objects do not respawn when you do, so breaking all the fire bombs will mean that you don't need to worry about dodging the throws for all future attempts at the boss until you quit out of the game
Makes me think of Asherah poles and the "Children of the whore" who recognize both the Father _and_ the Mother in Christianity, there's a lot of parallels in miyazakis stuff, like the locust he named after that messenger from hell in DS3, "Abbadon" ? During the rise of Monotheism among the jews, their beloved Yahweh apparently told them to uproot or burn the Tree's of his then "Queen Of Heaven" Asherah, Asherah was said by the priest "Jeremiah" to "lay out under every tree" I wonder if Marika being crucified under/in the ErdTree has something to do with it? 🤔 Also, the mourning and crying? Didn't some middle eastern goddess have a thing where people mourned the death of her lover to bring them back to life? Atticus? Attis? I think marika, being Numen, is like the Tarnished coming from outside the lands between, maybe she and everyone accepts the "seed" of the tree in the shape of those tiny glowing bits of gold that float down from on high🤔 Kinda like the epithet "Gold Giver" for Freyja's earlier forms in norse mythology, another "Divine Queen" with a "Dying-And-Coming-Back" Lord in the form of Odin, when he speared himself to the world tree for nine days and nights. Godwyn seems like a similie of Baldr, a "Golden prince" of the gods, who gets killed and then ragnarok happens and the world goes up in flame 🙄
