Love these dudes, they make a great early enemy, both as a tougher humanoid enemy and and intro to mounted combat. They make good punching bags.

6:05 and you are totally right! The description of the Kaiden mercenary ahses in 1.0 explicitly said that "The northern mercenaries are said to carry the blood of giants in their veins, and wield curved cleavers with ease."

Also take into consideration that Rennala is descended from the astronomer stock of the north. She and her kids are all taller than normal humans. So we might surmise that a Radahn sized human and a troll sized giant could also be an option here. It's sort of like breeding dogs of vastly different sizes -- as long as the chihuahua is the male and the great dane is the female, love finds a way without uterusplosion.

I always considered the Kaiden mercenaries as distant cousin to the Varangian Guard or Jomsviking. Armor in my opinion is a 8/10. Used their armor for my Thor build.

my guess is the noble ran ahead while the sellswords fought the octopus and he was ravaged by the bats found by him. I think he was searching for the blue dancer charm. the shamzir is found on him. he might be a fan of the blind swordsman

These Kaiden warriors are one of my favorite enemies in the whole game for they not only look badass, drop a great armor set and weapon, but also teach new player spacing rather well. That’s why I visit their camp near the gateway in the beginning of every of my playthroughs in order to duel them, both on and off horseback.

In my first playthrough, when I arrived at the mountaintops, I assumed we would travel through several Kaiden camps or ruins, but there weren't that much of them there, if at all It would've been cool to see something similar to a home like the Zamor ruins or something of the sort

I want to know more about their homeland if I'm honest, I wish fromsoft would make at least a little item description on the kaiden settlement, maybe even their culture. since they are northerners and are adept in a certain battle art, I feel like their viking-like culture would be really intriguing to learn about.

@LordBackuro
@LordBackuro 2 месяца назад
The answer might’ve be at the beach near the church in limgrave, there is a lone kaiden at a camp, there are lots of shipwrecks too. The description might have referred to Kaiden being in an entirely different land and not the mountain tops we know. Since they are obviously supposed, to be vikings. Kaiden might be in a mountainous land north of the lands between.

Idk if your still reading these but what if those giant skulls in both Caelid and mountain tops are different flame gods, there are seemingly older than the fire giants and spear to have normal rib cages and the descriptions on all these with the fell god says “A Fell God” not the fell god but A. Meaning there’s more? Most of all the gods in Elden ring had forms or still have forms to themselves.
@square-table-gaming
@square-table-gaming Год назад
I still read every comment! The giant skulls in Caelid and the mountaintop are still incredibly mysterious. I believe they're from a time well before even the dragons, but the idea that there were multiple fell gods seems plausible.

Wonder if settlement Kaiden resides in the Badlands. We never find any of the mercenaries or their home at the Mountaintops of the Giants or the Consecrated Snowfields minus that one carriage train with the wandering nobles and the one outside Ordina Liturgical Town.
@square-table-gaming
@square-table-gaming Год назад
Not sure if it could be since they're confirmed to come from the north. Our only glimpse of the Badlands is at the beginning when we see Horah Loux impaled. It seems to look much more barren than snowy.
@AdamIser-v3o
@AdamIser-v3o 11 месяцев назад
I do not believe the Kaiden's homeland is the mountain, there's no evidence of their culture like there is for the Giants and the Ice people. I think Kaiden is a land even further north that we unfortunately do not have the ability to explore like the Land of Reeds for example. In Limgrave to the west of the Church of Ellah you can find a beach with a Kaiden taking a nap beside a crashed boat. I think it'd be far more likely that the Kaiden's sailed down to the Lands Between rather then them being natives.
@ThatGuyOrby
@ThatGuyOrby Год назад
Hm, somehow I've never noticed the Kaiden bodies in that cave despite being through there at least five or six times. Well I guess you learn something new every day. Also one very minor correction that isn't really important at 6:24 through 6:37 you refer to the "Sword of Milos" as the "Sword of Minos" replacing the L with an N. Also one somewhat dark thought I had about this weapon was that since the Sword of Milos is made from Milos' backbone it's name is a bit...morbid. While most times when you hear "Sword of [insert name]" you'd expect that it means that it was a possession of that person...not made of them XD

Speaking of the set, dont you think that the fur cape could be connected to albinauric archers?. I was thinking rhat the fur may be from the wolves furs which were belong to albinaurics as well. Maybe the kaiden killed some albinaurics archers and took the wolves lives to get fur for getting warm clothes.

@@square-table-gaming It's the same as how I don't think the Northerners actually hail from the mountaintops. The North does not *necessarily* mean the Mountaintops of the Giants (which, if memory serves, are supposed to be forbidden lands, anyways). Both the Kaiden and the Northerners I believe it likely to have arrived from outside the Lands Between (likely also why the bulk of their number seems to be in Limgrave, specifically), though I agree on their reasoning being fairly obvious (mercenary work, either for the nobles or for Godrick), and in fact I (also) believe it likely the Kaiden themselves are Northerners due to their manner of dress.
