The love Radahn has for animals is kind of explained by the 'Beast Champion Armor' description. It read "Beasts are drawn to champions, and to lords. And this armor befits a champion worthy of becoming a lord." Radahn having lots of animal companions could be a nod to his worthiness.

@SomeUnkindledAsh Год назад

@andyknightwarden9746 Год назад

Whether this is Canon or not, I like this theory.

@nobodycares743 Год назад

It could also be a nod to his unusual Charisma. Radahn's soldiers practically worshipped the ground he stood on, and even his rival demigods like Morgott had respect for him. It makes sense that even animals naturally liked him and wished to be around him, much like his redmane soldiers.

@@icewind154 There are 0 in-game things pointing to that. You can headcanon it if you want, but it's no more valid than thinking his arm was grafted because he touched himself or because godrick just liked that arm or because a lottery landed on him and that arm.

He has a missing arm and hates the guy who takes peoples arms, literally having his longest location and animation being him stepping on the head of someone who steals arms. That is not the same degree of valid to "in real life people would get their hands cut off when they were a thief" the guy who originally said it said "hand or arm" but it is not arms, it was almost always just hands. So... your extreme confidence in putting someone in their place here is entirely unwarranted.

@shannonconnor3697 Год назад

Something interesting i just noticed about Renna's (Ranni's) appearance at the start of the game. She appears to fill the church with a sleeping mist, given it's color and the fact that Kale has his head bowed during her interaction. Given that she's a powerful magic user, I could see her being able to selectively apply the effects of her sleep spell so you aren't affected. Cool little detail about how she can keep her appearances outside her tower secret

@envoyofrot7046 Год назад

Oh that is a very cool detail. I always thought Kalé is just asleep because it is nighttime.

@dontmisunderstand6041 Год назад

Considering she can trap you in an illusionary world to fight a psychic imagining of her mother's fully glory that can still very much kill you... yeah, selectively targeted sleep magic doesn't seem like a stretch.

Could you maybe look into Rennala's egg? I have a crazy theory you may like. The cause of Rennala's obsession with the egg to me, is because it actually is Radagon. It's hard to find a place to start but I'll try. First is Miriel Pastor of vows, he says that a builder "glimpsed the skeleton in Radagons closet" and hid a message in the statue in leyndell. Radagon is Marika, which everyone interpreted as a rebus of some kind. I feel that it actually is that Marika only disguises herself as Radagon as the statue literally dispels an illusion of to reveal Marika. It is also hidden by a powerful incantation only usable by those who deeply invest in the golden order, aka those who truly believe what Radagon believed. I don't know why she would rebirth him and stick him in Erdtree amber. Also all of his attacks in the Erdtree are holy damage and he never uses a golden order incantation once. I strongly believe it's a puppet of sorts that the Elden beast sized control of from Marika then used more directly as the Holy Relic Sword Edit: I forgot to say Zullie the witch did a video showing its detail and red hair can be found inside it. Also I strongly believe that since the sweetings all look the same and feminine i think Rennala was trying to make a new body for her daughter Ranni who had destroyed her own on the night of black knives

That tidbit about the Ainu (the indigenous people of northern Japan) is an interesting one. The Japanese government typically isn't fond of bringing them up, as they'd prefer that the world recognize the country as always being just Japanese, rather than it being a place once shared by different (and now conquered) peoples. As a result, the Ainu usually only appear in what could be considered "subversive" pop culture (like the very anti-traditional Samurai Champloo). This sort of reflects how the Golden Order seeks to rewrite history and cast out people or civilizations that existed before their rule. Whether it was the Crucible that became host to the Erdtree, or the Eternal Cities that may have existed before the arrival of the Numen, those vestiges of the past cannot coexist with the future sought by the Golden Order.

@manuelsilva6244 Год назад

Both ainu and the tribes that gave origin to the modern japanese people came from china. Both are descendent from the same people.

@Tenchigumi Год назад

@@manuelsilva6244 I'm not sure that's entirely true. People have existed in Japan at least 15,000 years ago (possibly as long as 38,000 years ago), while East Asian migrants didn't arrive until 900 BCE, and the influx of Chinese culture and people didn't occur until around 200 BCE. The Ainu people were thought to have originated during the Jomon period (14,000 to 300 BCE), which likely puts them before the periods of mainland migration and the China-centric Yayoi period. Overall, historians broadly believe that the Ainu were in northern Japan long before "contemporary" Japanese arrived.

There's something so poetic about the lowlife deceitful Patches being the only enemy in the game capable of forgiveness. Back in Dark Souls 1, he tries to kill you multiple times, but once you forgive him he becomes one of the only characters in the game who just gives you honestly good advice such as about Lautrec and Petrus. It's these things that makes players love Patches I think. If he is capable of goodness then anyone is.

A cool detail I haven’t seen anyone cover is Rykard’s eyes. In the cutscene where Rykard opens his eyes, you can see a red accent with the gold; implying that the Elder Serpent is vying for full control over Rykard, but doesn’t quite over come Rykard’s ambition and Grace. Then, when you defeat Rykard and his head is on the ground, the red is gone and only gold is left in his eyes. Really cool.

@Glettification Год назад

I wonder if the lack of virility is a result of Rennala's rune, the Great Rune of the Unborn, having been removed from the Elden Ring and given to her by Radagon. It allows for the rebirthing process so maybe it also governs regular procreation. If that's true, it may play into why it was given to Rennala when Radagon left her and potentially even why Radagon and Marika's children, the only demigods we know to have been born after Radagon's return, were cursed. But why would the Golden Order want to prevent people from procreating? Is that somehow also linked to the demigods born after that point all opposing the Order to some extent? Obviously the speculation only gets crazier the further we extrapolate, but it is interesting. Also worth pointing out that the word 'blackguard' doesn't have anything to do with being a guard or soldier or serving under any banner. 'Blaggard' and 'blackguard' are essentially the same word in English, with effectively identical meanings.

@ASpooneyBard Год назад

I doubt that there was any greater purpose to removing the "Great Rune of Boning." I don't think the demigods wanted to prevent procreation, so much as they didn't care what the consequences were. These are the same people who removed the entire concept of death as we know it from their reality just to get one inconvenient person out of the way, and then locked it up to make sure that no one else can use it on them. Then they went to war with each other for more personal power, absolutely devastating the Lands Between and everyone in it, and no one even definitively won really.

You can also find Gostoc following you on the hill near the stormhawks directly after his first room. Gotten him to spawn there twice now. Just survive the locked room trap and then backtrack as far as you can.

@eetfuk3571 Год назад

you don't have to go the room, you just have to walk far away enough from that small hill, turnaround immediately and you'll find him there stalking you.

My goodness, the Ainu song that the bats used to sing. That is just tragic but also a beautiful way for Fromsoft to preserve that language in their work. I wish they kept it, but considering how Latin seems to be the language of choice for songs in this game, I understand why they kept it out in the final cut. Thank you for sharing this, Vaati. Your work is so flipping good.

@AntoniusTertius Год назад

That is the only Latin song in the game, the rest is gibberish as I revealed to the world in May. I also revealed the singer of the song of lament too ^^

@PineCellar Год назад

@@AntoniusTertius Thanks for clarifying. What about the song that plays in the background for the Godskin Duo? I heard that it was Latin, but is that true?

@AntoniusTertius Год назад

@@PineCellar You're welcome. No. Gibberish. I already published the official lyrics of that song in June. I recommend you check Vaati's shoutout to Antonius Tertius channel for further info :) The only Latin song in the game is the song of lament.

I love how General Radahn came through from “Ferocious Warrior” to pet lover Leonard, now the Black Cat… in the future we will discover that he have a tortoise that became bigger than Miriel

An extra point on the eye alterations, certain helmets have eyeholes and you can see your eyes through them! I found it works best with the 3 fingers chaos eyes because of their glow. You do have to mess with your character's eye placement to get them centred right, but on certain helmets it looks amazing. Ruler's Mask, Guardian Mask, White Mask, Mask of Confidence, Consort's Mask to name a few. Mostly masks now I think of it lmao

I'm currently rocking Frenzied Eyes from the Scaled Helmet. Can confirm it looks and feels dope.

Wow, I thought I was crazy thinking I was losing a percentage of souls every time I died in Stormveil. Thanks Gostoc.

Fun fact in the intro cutscene of the game you can see radagon breaking the elden ring, but if you look closely you can see radabon change into marika. The game tells you they are the same person a few minutes into the game.

The Godfrey one (#14) was my favorite. It's just really cool that the guys we think of as just bosses have their own ambitions and objectives

@Bolt2049 Год назад

I like that little detail about Sir Gideon Ofnir using spells of optional bosses only if you've beaten them, I remember explicitly thinking "Bro I just killed Malenia after fighting her for the last 40hrs you're no threat to me doing that" while he spammed Scarlet Aeonia three times in front of me during my first run 🤣

@shahs1221 Год назад

That's funny because my brain has always read the name Black Guard as Blaggard and I never questioned it because it was fitting. Only took me until this video to realise I've been looking at the name wrong, but funny that it's actually correct in the Japanese translation 😂

That secret about Gideon is something I actually noticed on my first playthrough. My friends and I were playing through the game at the same time, and I was the first one to reach Gideon. I was the only person in my group to have defeated Malenia before fighting Gideon, so I saw him try to use Scarlet Aeonia (I say "try" as every time he tried to charge it up I just knocked him down with a spell lol) several times throughout my fight with him. Later I watched my friends fight him as they streamed their games, and noticed the lack of Scarlet Aeonia, and the inclusion of Comet Azur. At this point I was sure that his move set changed depending on the demigods you previously fought. Later in my second playthrough I saw the lack of both Rykard's Rancor and Scarlet Aeonia and believed my theory to be correct. It feels gratifying to know that there is concrete code to confirm it!
