It had never occurred to me that the omens continuing to be birthed during the golden order was an effect of Marika getting rid of the rune of death. Very interesting take!
Excellent video! I have an upcoming video about the properties of blood and how they affect the Lands Betwee and I was worried that I was late to the punch with this video, but I was pleasantly surprised with your investigation on the mechanics of Souls. My favorite observation of yours is that related to the Dung Eater and how these multiple 'cursed' souls give him this dual personality. It makes for an interesting comparison to the brothers D. Where Dungeater is one body with multiple souls inducing a sort of madness, D is two bodies with one soul and they also show dualism in their respective personalities(One is calm and collected, the other is a raving madmen, both are religious zealots) Dungeater's calm persona is also his Phantom, or his spirit, so its interesting that while it is seperated from his body he can be almost zen, sitting in a cross legged position. I look forward to watching your other videos!
An important detail missing from this analysis is the concept of "shirikodama". It has appeared in Sekiro from the headless's grab attack and radically changes the way one interprets what the dung eater is doing and the soul, body, mind trifecta.
@@abereu8405 It litteraly means 'small anus ball' and is the organ that contains your soul. In folklore Kappa rip it out of your ass while you swim, and in Sekiro the Headless has a grab where it shove its hand up your ass, rip it out and insert it up theirs. The Dung eater wants to spread his curse to other peoples souls, he seems to do this by eating the shit covered shirikodama of his victims.
the reason the eclipse failed was rodahn had stopped the heavens from moving, but now he's dead fate can continue i think the eclipse is ranni and miquella in the same body, i think it's why she only half in her doll body, the coming together of gold and silver. complete, its like the twins
I think you are pretty much right in line with what ive been thinking for awhile. Even outside Elden Ring, with FS previous game Armored Core 6, i interpreted a sort of Mind Body Soul unification theme. I think elden ring might be a loose story of birth of the Mind. The body soul dualism can be considered an old methodology as well. The mind allows for the existence of Free Will. On that note, i am starting to wonder if the Greater Will is that of the One Great, which may have become corrupted with Marikas actual ascension to godhood. So what if it went something like this.... the ultimate Greater Will of the One Great is growth. This is the Primeval Current. A raw desire to flow. The One Great allowed Marika to seduce them and selfishly take the fibers of life to use of her own will. Across an incredibly vast timeline, Marika went from growing under the banner of the greater will to ultimately usurping it and stagnating the primeval current itself. The Goldmasks rune talks about men being fickle. It appears Marika may have betrayed many, including the dragons at the beginning of time, in order to secure her role as God in the Lands Between. I could go on, but i have to say again i really think you are on the right track. Keep up the good work! Edits mostly typos. No more random comments in YT for me for awhile hahaha 😂
Hey man, I enjoyed the video, but I do have a bit of constructive feedback: I think these videos would be improved if you slowed down your speech a little bit so that way people could absorb more of the information. You can also add in more gaps for your voice recordings in post to let some of that information settle at times as well.
