Your tenacity and problem solving skills in getting the camera back online is much to be admired Great lore discussions, as usual, and the fight with Seath was awesome
So funnily enough I actually tried to kill D in the aqueduct a while ago. He’s protected by a Golden Order force field. Every time you try and hit him a protection field flashes and makes your weapon bounce off.
Jumping down to the Bed of Chaos just makes it unnecessarily harder. There are two floor tiles that stand out a bit, just drop down from the one to the right. And btw, you're mixing up Blade of the Darkmoon covenant items Proof of a Concort Kept is from DS3. DS1 has Souvenir of Reprisals.
It's rather difficult to access your sponsored link to V Rising, one has to access the relevant Twitch video and scroll through chat to find the link, and the link is to Steam, not PSN
I still recall March 2022, I 1st encountered Wrafferino's PVP videos, and her ER boss hotness list. She had about 4.5K followers on YT then. I am glad today it's rose to 18.4K, and she hit a milestone of 20K on Twitch. Here's to better and better things to come, and I pray and hope she hit 100K, and eventually a million subscribers milestone in her streaming career! 😉👏
Gravelord Covenant can already be used in NG, any players in coop range can see the invasion sign (can be from any NG cyle). But, the additional black phantom enemies only appear in NG+ or higher *infected* worlds. Maybe that‘s where that seemingly widespread misinformation about NG+ only comes from.
I’m sorry to keep adding comments. I think of things as I watch these videos. (Love them btw) 1:35:26 If the centipede is linked with death, then maybe golden centipedes symbolize the victory of Gold over death? Like fanatics keeping them as a visual of the Golden Order conquering Death or something.
2:23:59 Wraff, I mean this with all the kindness in my heart; I GET IT. Those Gargoyles are so fucking annoying if you’re melee. They’re annoying as fuck if you’re a mage. Even if you’re summoning and it’s 3v2 they get easier, but tedious. I over-leveled and spammed Stars of Ruin until they died. And I’ll do it again. Every time.
I think that the Carian Wars happening during the war with the Giants actually makes sense. One thing that always seemed off to me was why Godfrey wasn’t leading the war against the Carians, but Radagon was. Since Godfrey wasn’t banished the only logical times I can think of the Carian wars happening would be either the Dragon Wars or the War with the Giants, and the Giants make more sense because of the alliance.
Game is fun but i agree on character creator in elden ring. It could be more detailed. I didn’tplay dragons dogma but i played around in character creator and very detailed and can see the details in faces. Stallar blade has no character creator but you can see the details in face and looks really good. Just my opinion. But Game has got to be fun also. Elden rings world is fun. Your character looks good. Love the pink hair! I been watching lots of streams and yours popped up. Very fun.
4:30:18 So I have a hypothesis about this. I agree that Rykard and Rahdan probably aren’t allied with the Godskins, but I think maybe Ranni was for a little bit. Ranni had to have learned the ritual necessary to imbue the Rune of Death into a blade, and how to cause the death of her body and Godwyn’s soul at the same time from someone. Maybe Marika did, but I don’t know if Marika was in that deep for the conspiracy. I think at least one Godskin maybe the duo, taught Ranni the ritual or gave her the information’s location in exchange for either her skin, or for the location of the Rune of Death. Maybe she offered both. Because I agree that the Duo is probably there for Maliketh, but they had to have learned the location somehow since Maliketh was very well hidden.
I've never given Bernahl much thought, and now that I'm looking into him for the first time he's a very confusing character. I don't quite understand his role and his motives in Elden Ring.
These three dragons are literally the most annoying dragons in the game lmao. The terrain makes them fall all the way down to a lower platform where you can't easily reach them. I ran all the way down, but the dragon respawned at the top. So I went back up and the dragon fell all the way down again. I ran down and he respawned again. SERIOUSLY! Made me curse up a storm xD
TL;DR: Greek and Roman religion were different, and though it’s common to say they’re the same, that is a gross oversimplification. So about the difference between Roman and Greek myth. There is some cross-pollination once the Romans conquered Greece, but some of the most popular ones like Poseidon assaulting Medusa and Athena cursing Arachne are of Roman origin. In Greek mythology Medusa is just a monster that Perseus slays with little about their origin beyond being Gorgons. Athena cursing Arachne just straight up doesn’t appear as a story until the Roman period. Everything else is an invention of Ovid, the Roman poet writing centuries after the original story was written/told. The names are different because the Roman gods were different, the stories just started taking on Greek aspects because the Romans wanted to be Greek very desperately. Over time the two synchronized. That gets into Roman religious practices and Greek religious practices which is a hugely nuanced conversation that I don’t think is possible in the comment section of a RU-vid video. But thought I’d put it out there in case anyone was curious. You’re right about the 50/50 split between Odin and Freyja.
Also, in regard to Godwyn and his Omen siblings. I want to put forward the idea that Radagon didn’t outright say that Morgott and Mohg need to be forced into the sewer. Maybe he quietly shunted them down there and Godwyn didn’t know what happened? Maybe he went along with it but planned to fight over it later? I get the feeling that Godwyn was loved by a wide variety of people. I also get the sense that maybe Radagon and Godwyn were starting to butt heads, since Radagon would seem to be a usurper and step-parent relations can be tense. That would provide impetus for the Night of Black Knives since Godwyn would be in a really good position to contest otherwise. Obviously we don’t know for sure, but it’s fun to theorize.
Your point about no story progression as a guest in Lords of the Fallen (2023) coop is really weird. How would coop story progression even work in a story-based game with mutually exclusive story paths (Radiance/Inferno/Umbral)? First of all, you could only join another player if he is at the same exact point in the story progression as yourself (including which bosses are already defeated that trigger specific progression points). That would massively limit the pool of potential coop players, but LotF coop is about limitless as it gets in a Souls-like game (Cross-platform, join from and to any location/story progression, no map boundaries, no session end by host/guest deaths or boss defeats, host can revive downed guests, refill healings for host and guest at any time, guest can level up/use merchants/upgrade weapons, damage scaling to broaden matchmaking level range etc.). Also, what if you join at a point in the story where all potential story branches are still open and the host chooses a branch you necessarily don’t want to do at this point (because you have done this path already for example)? So, with all those coop features I mentioned (btw, all Soulsborne games by Fromsoft have none of them, even Elden Ring), LotF coop is easily the best Souls-like coop there is. I don’t know any other that comes close.
So in regards to the Deathbirds.; You touched on something I’ve been thinking too. If the Deathbirds are those that usher Death and the Dead by extension in a primordial way then maybe Godwyn becoming the genesis of Deathroot added a new facet to the Deathbirds themselves. If the Deathbirds are as primordial as I think then any alterations to Death would probably affect them too imo. Also I wonder if this has happened before. Who taught Ranni this was possible? Was it Marika? Her Dark Moon? Something else? I would love to know.
Me after telling Iji the about Blaidd's death: Don't be that way, Iji. You still have to help me craft stuff. *Hops into the bonfire next to Iji to level up a bit.* Me: Alrighty, Iji, I think I have enough runes fo- Stares at Iji's corpses surrounded by Black Knife Assassins bodies ...
