Of all the boss battles I encountered; fighting two of these guys at once was one of the most frustrating experiences in Elden Ring.

@alexandermorgan5958 Год назад

I can safely say that, as a paladin build, these gave me far more trouble than the Godskin Duo. I eventually resorted to using Lhutel to distract Ordovis while I took out the Tree Knight.

@sethstewart9704 Год назад

I ended up quitting the fight and moving on, only to come back and 3-shot the knights near the endgame. They suck, but not as much as the gargoyles did for me.

@ninjahattori7576 Год назад

the triple crystal threat, allow us to introduce ourselves

@dragon99992 Год назад

Once I figured out just how much more aggressive Ordovis was than the Tree knight it just turned into running away until I had Ordovis alone. It was pretty simple at that point but it admittedly took me quite a few failed strategies before I realized that.

@tripjones2178 Год назад

@darklordauron Год назад

Something interesting, the Silurian and Ordovician are both divided into seven ages. So with 16 Crucible knights, seven serving under each of the two named commanders, we'd have 16 name sources. Silurian: Ludfordian, Gorstian, Homerian, Sheinwoodian, Telychian, Aeronian, and Rhuddanian. Ordovician: Hirnantian, Katian, Sandbian, Darriwilian, Dapingian, Floian, and Tremadocian.

@josephevangelisti7326 Год назад

These all sound like such Fromsoft names too

@goldenlost1761 Год назад

Darriwil really let himself go

@raeishimura Год назад

There is only one issue with this that i've discovered. There are not 7 of each knight order. Through the video, you can count them as all of the knights are shown. There are 9 Axe Knights and their commander Ordovis and 5 Tree Knights and their commander Siluria. While it's possible these name sources still would be quite likely, the division of them is off for this to be completely accurate, as this means we have a total of 10 knights in Axe regalia and only 6 in Tree regalia, commanders included. The other, as Golden Lost indicated, is that the name Darriwil has already been used, specifically by the Bloodhound Knight being hunted by Blaidd when we first meet him. Though two knights having the same name isn't impossible, it makes it less likely this is how all of the knights were named

@ortzialberdiazpiazu7431 7 месяцев назад

@zathe. 11 месяцев назад

11:37 I feel like these two Crucible Knights in the Royal Capital are there for Morgott rather than Marika considering their loyalty to Godfrey, Morgott’s relation to Godfrey & his own omen blood. All of which we know they would value more than anything Marika embraced or offered them. Not to mention their love for the Erdtree as a growing entity, which Morgott also deeply cherishes as we know.

@PhileasLiebmann Год назад

The history of the Crucible Knights is one of those few things that makes me really chafe against the limitations of this game and this genre in a good way. I so desperately want to be some way of interacting with the Knights other than combat. They are just such an interesting faction and I need talk to these guys.

@MgMast3r Год назад

Fr, in my 1st playthrough I couldn't help but be fascinated by these guys, to the point when the moment I got my hands on their armor and weapons, I just HAD to play with 'em (had a str/holy faith built too so that made it all the more tempting) , and Ordovis's greatsword + Siluria's Tree became my main set-up for the last 3rd of the game. Wasn't OP, but it was definitely solid & reliable, and most importantly it was fun. How I wished there was a quest where you get to talk to one....

@_Azulite_ Год назад

Diving further into the story of Godfrey and his crucible Knights, the British celtic inspiration is abundant. To add to this, the only named crucible knights, Ordovis and Siluria, are named after celtic tribes of Britain, specifically in the Welsh borders, the Ordovices and the Silures.

@elwynn9931 Год назад

The Gilded Greatshield dropped by Godrick's knights also mentions primordial red-gold. "The red tinge in the gold coat mirrors the primordial matter that became the Erdtree. The color of homeward yearning." It's almost definitely just symbolic since Godrick is obsessed with the gold of the Erdtree and him being of the royal lineage, and it doesn't boost Crucible incantations like the Crucible Knights' armor does. Just thought it was worth sharing, since you said it wasn't mentioned anywhere else at 14:12

@radcut7404 Год назад

Grafting and the crucible being connected makes so much sense, how the fuck did that never cross my mind

@foxywoxy1915 Год назад

I only can see the similarities of how the Primordial Crucible promotes devolution-power of beasts and life-and grafting is of a similar nature to the intense mutations on creatures related to the Primordial Crucible; both shunned due to the impure bodies they exist with. Besides that, I don’t see how else they could be related.

@jashin888 Год назад

I have a theory that they served Placidusax but after the Dragon War they switched over to the Golden Order and kept thier Crucible powers. It wouldn't make sense for them to be allowed to learn Crucible Incantations with the Golden Order because, First who could teach them? They're the only ones who use those incantations. And Second the Golden Order hates the Crucible So why would they learn them knowing that they hate it ? I feel like Marika saw use them after the Dragon War and Conviced them to join her And Gave them to Godfrey, And that the Crucible Knight in Farum Azula looking at the dragon is Possibly mourning his dead master. Also they Have wings, horns and spit fire like they're immitading the dragons.

@TiberiusRex182 Год назад

I think we actually see the crucibles primordial goo, in the elden beast fight that liquid on the ground. It would make sense as the golden order often absorbs and hide heretical things such as flame, and briar. The goo may be no different

@sterlingshaffer5543 Год назад

Something to note, I believe the Crucible Knights are very much more connected to the Misbegotten than previously thought. The Winged Misbegotten ashes say: "A spirit with the aspect of wings which takes flight to loose arrows from its bow. The misbegotten are held to be a punishment for making contact with the Crucible, and from birth they are treated as slaves, or worse." This tells us two things: The Misbegotten both made contact with the Crucible, and actively practice their incantations. (Aspects of the Crucible: Wings is mentioned, which doesn't exist for players, but explains how the misbegotten fly) Which could tell us that either the Misbegotten and Crucible Knights found friendship in their common mistreatment post-Godfrey, or were actively working together in the days of the Crucible.

That is interesting. Also I believe you are right in the golden light of the Erdtree being an abnormality. The Erdtree feeds on the souls on the Lands Between which accounts for the gold colour. Also I believe the Erdtree grows IN the crucible itself which is how the souls feed the Outer Will via the Erdtree.

I listened to it as I re -explored the snowfields, and it occured to me that I had never realized there were 2 units comprising the knights or that their numbers were so small (working with the assumption that the closed beta info is cannon, which I think is fine).

Another reason why the crucible knight may be in Stormveil is the great admiration Godrick has for Godfrey. And on another subject: is it mentioned somewhere that Godfrey fought Placidusax? As far as I know, all information we have about Placidusax is that he exiled himself beyond time after his god fled

@square-table-gaming Год назад

It's unconfirmed, but we know Godfrey fought the stormlord and many believe that was placidusax

@elalto3492 Год назад

@@square-table-gaming I believe if Placidusax was the stormlord we would have more hints at that, or even an item that tied them, but what I see actually is that the storm of Stormveil is something different from the lightning of the dragons, since all ashes of war related to the storm use wind control, but no lightning, like what the banished knights use
