Elden Ring Lore - Thiollier: Adherent of St. Trina 

>self conscious >simp >drug addict >just wants sleep Yep, he's literally me

Babe wake up, new STG… babe? Babe!?

Thiollier like, VERY quickly went from being one of my least favorite characters to one of my favorites. He's such a good dude worthy of protection.

This guy just like me. Adore sleep, make concontion for sleeping, and fell in love with his bed.

Dude had the slightest taste of the deepest sleep ever and now he wants to find it again? Sounds legit. If only we could follow Thollier's example. Maybe I wouldn't be so exhausted all the time. Also, I've been saying this a lot recently, but the fact that Miquella gave up his love shows that his age of Compassion is a sham: how can you show compassion if you've abandoned your love? It's just a different type of control.

dryleaf dane does say "kindly miquella" before he dies. he's simply a monk studying miquella. thas it i guess

Gotta be one of my favorite dlc characters. A true snoozer male

I honestly was hoping for a little bit more from the St Trina arc. It honestly seems a little rushed I'm not sure if this was the finale all along or if they made changes to kind of squeeze it in but I feel like it had potential to have such more depth and I don't know more to it

Dead? Or has he reached his eternal sleep. One can dream

Absolutely my favorite NPC. Getting to the last location blew my mind

Would love a vid on Sir Ansbach or Igon they were some of my fav NPCs in the dlc

I would like to hear the story of Redmane Freija and pureblood Knight Sir Ansbach. How the two started off as friends and how they became on opposite sides of the battlefield. Also I think maybe look at Thiolloer's voice lines in the final two battles as I believe that might explain how he came to the conclusion to help us.

I love when you guys drop. The deep lore dives and details you guys do are literally my favorite to watch on RU-vid regarding Elden ring. Please continue to do great work ! As you guys already do.

Thiollier is my favorite of the new NPCs. Poor sad little man. No confidence, no self worth beyond the hope that St Trina will want him. But in the end is brave enough to take on 2 demigods and dies to accomplish his goal.

Let's go sleepy boi!

As Trina has been firmly established as a manifestation of Miquela, the next question to ask would be, how long have they been a part, that is, how much time has passed since Trina has been cast away? Was it during the the shattering? Was it after the cocoon incident? Was it after our tarnished arrival? Even more importantly, was Trina a clear entity before the split, or just a guise, a mask of Miquela before the split?

love thiollier's outfit, especially his beautiful mask

The boy!!💜 I really care about him lol Thank you for talking about him!

Favorite npc so far from the dlc but inbuing the nectar over and over was dumb

THIOLLIER THE LITERAL LOVE OF MY LIFE

I love the way SOTE characters are written All of them are searching for love, in their different manners when Thiollier attacks us for getting the love he couldn't have when Messmer attacks us and destroys whatever he has to in order to get the love his mother denied him when Miquella steals the player's heart miyazaki was so real for that

Really loved the cast of NPCs we got with this DLC. I think The Old Hunters only had one that moved and a couple others with items but every NPC in SOTE felt really fleshed out and purposeful. It was both really fun and tragic to have them face off with you and one another right before the final boss.

I love him!! I also love the idea of 2 new lore vids a week!

Homie has confidence issues 😂

I like how when speaking to Leda about her comrades and bringing up Thiollier, she dismisses this idea saying he’s no threat. and then Thiollier is a summon against her and Miquella

My fav character in the DLC, hes literally me lol and the poison obsession 😩

Excellent video, 10 out of 10 ! ! Top Notch! I can't wait for the next one! 🤯

I like how you present the facts, what actually happens in the game. Too many lore channels are going into some deep interpretations that barely make sense.

Please feel free to keep them to 1 a week, there's only so much more Elden Ring content to be made. I'd much prefer the extra time spent on each video

Sorry I didn’t come into work today, I was too busy watching this banger of a video

Starlight's face on the thumbnail

Well done, STG. Impressive work as always.

Square table gaming is like saint trina in a way. They’ll both put your ass to sleeeeeeepppppp.

I like to think that St. Trina was the part of Miquella that make him manipulate people, the compelling thing fits the lovable nature of St. Trina. So, in hope of ascending as Lord and don't wanting/needing to manipulate people anymore, he separated himself to pursue his own way. I wish we had a St. Trina or Miquella's ending, like the Ranni one.😅

This was awesome. Keep em' coming.

My precious Eepy son!!

what happens if you hit him with deep sleep status effect?

We played him, just like we were played ourselves " such strength " because we are a demi god 😅

Im excited for dry leaf Danes story. Lots to unpack In the conversations with him.

I literally fell asleep listening to this, St Trina is real

God he’s so pathetic, I love him

YES! Finally the St. Trina lore video I've been craving. She was my most anticipated part of the DLC, ever since I saw the trailer. I literally just did the questline 2 nights ago and I've been nearly obsessed with learning all about the lore and everything. I totally resonate with Thiollier lol I can see how he get so hooked. It's just such a fascinating concept in this game. It's unlike any other piece of lore. St. Trina herself has been a huge mystery, the sleep ailment is utterly unique to all other status effects, Thiollier is a sympathetic character to the new story and his armor set is one of the best looking sets in the game, imo. Very fitting this video drops while I'm in the middle of being totally obsessed with this section of the story. Thank you for the lovely content and I cannot wait to see the deep dives on all the other followers of Miquella.

Midra the Lord of frenzied flame lore is unsettling

Isn’t this character the only one of Miquella’s initial chosen who says outright they are/were a Tarnished? In-game, St. Trina’s sleep can only manifest ‘half-way’ in The Lands Between, as Miquella’s influence on St. Trina’s lilies prevent them from being as potent as they should be. In the Land of Shadow, St. Trina’s lilies become concentrated and velvet- a sign that the flower is at its most potent. Deep sleep is probably the only way a Tarnished could experience what amounts to true rest, and analogous to wanting a true death in a way. Poison Boi was given grace, although he admits he’s not fit to fight Marika’s eternal struggle to become Elden Lord. Maybe the breaking of Miquella’s rune reveals that Tholier was seeking what amounts to a true death for a Tarnished, and the full power of St. Trina could be the only thing that could grant him anything that could feel even close to that.

Yeah, I missed that step of getting the black syrup from Moore till it was too late. Worse still, I found out the spell can also be broken if you ran the alternate path from Bonny Village, so I missed out on getting that concoction completely. Oh well. Sleepy boy Thiollier was a cool NPC.

I would love to see a video on Metyr and the finger readers

Sad I totally missed him and his quest. I foolishly wanted a blind play-through and locked myself out of a lot of stuff… I’m pretty miffed with the quest design in Elden Ring overall. You can replay the game 3 times without a guide, and can miss nearly every ending all 3 times.

Great guy, kind of sad I decided to go to Enir-Ilim early, so missed the whole quest line… 😢

Please take your time with the videos. Quality over quantity anytime!

I wonder if he came up with the recipes in the fevors cookbook as well

I think dane speaks when you kill him

I missed the upload cuz work 😢 But now I have the perfect bedtime story! Thank you ❤

Plz do the great and almighty Igon next! HRRRROOOOOOAAAARRRR!

This character honestly appeals to me so much. The unconventional romantic undertones, the clear mental health issues, the desire for the release of sleep. This character is what some people would call "woke", in all the right ways, and none of the wrong ones.

I think it’s pretty likely that thiollier suffers from some sort of chronic pain and is just handling it in the least healthy way imaginable thanks to the golden order’s extreme bias towards spiritualism over practical aid. I don’t experience chronic pain myself but speaking to friends who do, I’ve heard that some days the pain is so bad the only way to get even a little bit of relief is sleeping, and at the same time the pain also makes sleeping virtually impossible. when thiollier speaks I can hear that constant edge of pain in his voice, and I fully understand why he’s so maddeningly desperate to the point of risking his life over something as seemingly simple and easy to achieve as a good rest (to the point where he personifies the idea of this nigh unattainable peace as a caring lover!!!!). most of us tend to take sleep for granted but I think anyone would be just as desperate for the relief it provides as thiollier is were we in his shoes

You should do the Golden Needle Knight next.

Banger vid 🔥

Dryleaf Dane breaks his vow of silence when you kill him during the big arena battle, but yea other than that he is the typical silent anime side character that everyone thinks is cool, all he needs is the katana and the weeb edgedom is complete, hat covering the eyes and all.

Rellana lore 👀

Yo what armor are you using It works so well with the banished knight helm

So is there a way to move back you ps5 Elden ring save data back to ps4 version of the game on ps5 console. I just finished the dlc and want to move my data back to the ps4 version of the game what do I do

Thiollier is almost as big a simp as Ranni fans

Bayle and Igon next, surely 🥺🤞🏻

2 new vids per week? Don't rush your good content if you can avoid it.

I already miss the character creation music

He a pot head.

Midra please

It still isn’t the size of fucking limgrave.

I never found this mf

12:38 Why do all the RU-vidrs always say *"God?"* it's like everyone forgot what Goddess means...

Can all you RU-vidrs stop pronouncing it "ska-du" tree? It's pronounced shadutree, like shadow, it's written in old English. Shadu, not Scadu.

This dude is a toxic simp

The biggest most useless simp in from soft’s catalogue 😂

Where all of my St Trina simps at yoooooo

I was attracted to Thiollier and Ansbach before knowing their names, them and Freyja turned out to be my favorite npc's from the dlc
