ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree | Story Trailer 

Even the countdown was making me lose my marbles.

Lmfao

Vaati: You underestimate my power, mortal

​@@Dalmoon98 yeah, I'm happy that one person will understand what's going on

I think the beginning of it was supposed to be a flashback to the war of the Order against the followers of the Frenzied Flame, that left the merchants as pretty much the last remnants of that group.

I have been following some lore youtubers and it gets easier to decypher some of the visuals after a while and it's fun.

That’s what playing every fromsoft game feels like

@@amwazdraws6890same. Smoughtown and vaati have dived into it. And they will do the same for this one. And I will be there for it 😆

😂😂😂😂😂

This deserves more likes lol

Always

Tuesday seems to be FromSoft's favorite day!

You wannanow ?

Seems like FromSoft has a favourite day

Just so happens to be recording gameplay to build up to the entrance for the DLC too lol

I mean a lot of them were still willing to follow, Leda caused the rift imo. The others might not have "rebelled" if not for her. Of course Miquella is also responsible for mind-controlling people in the first place.

@@Arkayjiya It's quite ironic, since there are far more people (and a much more diverse crowd) that voluntarily choose to follow Messmer than Miquella, and Messmer didn't even use any charm spells. Even after Messmer got abandoned by Marika and the Erdtree, they still follow him.

Just like trailer messemer soldiers fuck you up if not careful😂😂

Ironically Leda distrust was contained by Miquella spell

Dane, Leda and Moore still follow him and believe in him after the charm is gone. Although not out of any loyalty, both Freya and Hornsent do as well. Thollier follows St. Trina, who is technically still kind of Miquella, and presumably was still part of Miquella when Thollier first chose to follow. Only Ansbach didn't choose to follow. Miquella's charm was, primarily, to soothe conflicts (like Leda trying to murder people the second it goes away) and increase their efficiency in helping his goals. Miquella does not *rely* on his charm, it's just a tool that he likes using. It's weird how post DLC people have suddenly decided that Miquella is some kind of complete fraud with no redeeming qualities who just hypnotized his way through everything so he could take power. He's still a powerful and very intelligent demigod who ultimately wants to fix the problems of world but lost himself while doing so.

And yet you still needs mods to actually play proper coop, much less with that amount of people.

​@datonkallandor8687 that co-op mod basically killed online play and invading. Soo i wonder if this dlc or an update is gonna turn that seamless mod into the basegame so elden ring ends up looking like an mmo without any grinding

@@Splatcake I will be shocked if fromsoft doesn't take some notes from the seamless co-op mod. IDK if they will integrate some kind of similar functionality into ER with DLC, or their next game. But if they don't do one or the other it would be pretty dumb of them IMO. It's crazy how popular it is (~1.6 million downloads from the nexus), not surprising with how much fun it is and easy to use (just drag and drop some files). I've played hours of that mod with my cousin and had SO much fun. WAY more fun than we ever had playing the games built in multiplayer. And it's amazing how perfectly it works. But yeah that was my first thought when I saw that shot. Only 30 days to go!

You just know most of them are going to die by the end.

I think it is a bunch of npc’s, as the big stone armour guy is there. Considering it’s the story trailer it perhaps means all these npc’s are here for the same reason as us, finding miquella. But I hope it means better coop and invading

watching all of them

@@ashplattsii1fan92 just 1 billion??? why not a trillion!!!

I just spent an hour looking over it for clues and piecing bits together. I dont even have a youtube channel it just seemed like fun. And like... its gunna be more then 3 hours if they want to explain all the different story threads. This thing feels like its pulling together like more then half of the threads. Fall of Nox? Check. The Gloam Eyed Queen, and the sealing of destined death? Probably check. Miquellas plan? And his relation to St. Trina? Obviously check. The god eating serpent heresy? Check. The end of the non-illusory erdtree and its sap? Probably check. The piles of frozen people in the Nox cities? Maybe? etc etc.

it's not GTA 6 so i extremely doubt it

Where is the soundtrack from? Is it a boss theme?

​@@Navarroandy77not A boss theme. Its THE boss theme. The single hardest boss fromsoft has ever made and its not even close

Still absolutely love it. It's cool that while it may seem like they didn't put anything of the final bossfight in the trailer(s), this proves otherwise.

@@malikhittam1440 idk personally I think he was easier than a couple. Could just be that I somehow became a better player though.

Stop violating my boy fromsoft

get back to work Vaati.

I think that the first few words in Latin are "AVE MARIKA, AETERNA" ( greetings, Marika the eternal)

I hope the ost will be as memorable as ds3, it definitly is a great one ^^, for me the only one rhat stuck was radagon/eldenbeast

That's what I was thinking - the trailer establishes a tragic background before presenting us a heroic figure - Miquella and all those who decided to follow him, despite the fact he abandoned his role as an Empyrian as well as his fate. It's, to date, one of the most optimistic trailers we've ever had. I've still got *some* suspicion towards Miquella but I'm starting to really like the idea that he's just straight up a nice guy who wants to fix shit and just straight up help.

If not Miquella's actual theme, I'm assuming it's related to service to Miquella due to it's falsetto vocal and endearing quality.

They are selling out with this game. George R.R. Martin, the empty-ass sandbox

Amazing detail!

OH BOY Latin songs lesgoooooo

Do you know what choir says after ave Marika aeterna?

I thought Latin words in elden ring are gibberish?

@@fishgiovaana8441 not all songs, theres the song of the batmaidens who is in full latin, which probably meant that the devs wanted us to know more about the suffering the misbegotten endured because of the Golden Order. If this were truly the lyrics of the song Marika's armies extended way before the Golden Age. What wars did she fight? What races did she shun? etc etc.

I was just thinkin that too lets goo

Literally 😂 I was like why does this sound like they’re about to say some motivational ish. That’s a first

Yeah. And that's _highly_ suspicious.

Yes what did they mean by this, are we possibly getting a positive ending in a souls game?

Didn't have to do us like that...

Indeed, though we had some pretty SLICK information from this trailer. Make some screenshot and look well mi friend

Waiting for 3 hours long, Vaati's video

@@kumitapptrue lmao

@@kumitapp I will help: The quote about beginning, seduction, and betrayal is about marikas origins as elden lord. She entered Godhood and was seduced by the greater will to be its vassal (all outer gods need a host to have influence in the lands between, Morgott tried to make miquella the host for his God, the formless mother, malenia is the host for the sealed god of scarlet rott, melina is the host of the twin bird/death and you are the host for the frenzied flame in one ending.) and in turn betrayed her people, as she was the tool the greater will used to destroy them and replace them. vaati hasnt made a dedicated video about it but hes talked about it alot. There is a different giant tree under the erdtree, but its dead. its called the Greatree and it had its own civilization surrounding it, its what the crucible knights were apart of, and its why they are ostracized. The war you see is how that was done, they razed the civilization as a whole, and built a new tree (out of dead bodies, see intro, and also see the dead bodies being sucked into the roots of the erdtree in every dungeon in the game, and the dialogue about how the dead are absorbed into the erdtree, which explains why the greater will gives a shit about having control over the lands between, because people souls = yummy). Vaati summarizes this all into Erdtree = parasite. miquella went off to learn about this whole conflict, which relates to him as he himself went to war against the erdtree and tried creating his own civilization in opposition to it around the haligtree. He is the primary figure in opposition to the golden order and greater will. Every single shot of this games new area contains the Primordial Greatree standing and the trailer is about the past so, so we can assume that we are running time travel back for the bajjilionth time in a souls games dlc, and we can assume thats where miquella went and where we are following him.

Let’s not forget about the feet

Quite literally in fact.

Absolute legend, that Sir Ansbach

gideon but not a bum

@@randomguy5093 yet still he served to a fucked up blood cult

"nah bro that aint mah kid bro, hes adopted"

Right? The implications are unimaginable. In the base game we learn of the Golden Order's several wars across the continent, complete genocide of the giants, the persecution of the omen and wandering merchants, and enslavement of demihumans. Somehow there's something so atrocious even compared to all this it is considered unspeakable in nature. Holy shit.

@@deltaz3362Man Godrick is already fucked in the head. I can’t imagine how bad Messmer is

Calling it now that holy damage is gonna be crazy in the dlc

something tells me that whatever happened here was just messmer's first offense against the golden order. i think he probably did something else later to get himself excommunicated, and marika chose to stick him in the land of shadow as a sort of poetic justice. shame for whoever survived the first round messmer had with the place, though.

Plus it resembles his twin’s rune, Malenia

And this is maybe how the new levelling system is Miyazaki said there will be a new levelling system similar to Sekiro it will make sense that we get stronger by visiting more sites of grace ( miquella rune) and basically collecting fragments from the graces until we get the whole rune

Also resembles the Halo Scythe, weapon of the Cleanrot Knights who served Miquella and Malenia

My thoughts exactly

It may be a BIT easier with summons but still doesn't change the fact that it is a super hard boss for casuals.

Ancipation and payoff just like their gameplay

That and the fact they don't spit on the respect the players give them. Mostly that

They make good games, listen to their actual market, and their employees don't run their mouths on Twitter.

@@1lomi901 yeah it's mostly that tbh, more companies should start dropping high quality products that players will happily buy instead of whatever the hell EA and Ubisoft are doing nowadays.

I prefer 0:21

I have a hunch...that is the final boss arena or we need to enter that for the final boss...

It's so bizarre and captivating

no, you are beautifull

My first association was that we are looking from an inside giant(godly) womb to the outside where Marika stands and births into the world what she stole. But after many have mentioned, it kinda does look like the foot of the Erdtree...

@@e-money9251 there are too many similar sounding names in this narrative lol

And the sound when it moves, the clatter of hundreds of plates, by the looks of it it is probably made of, moving together.

​@@emperorpalpatine4953 While I understand your point, it doesn't mean much in this context. The hornsent actively encouraged the mutilations and sufferings of the shamans. If there were outliers to those beliefs, people or cultures that denied the need for "sainthood" they were either completely forgotten or didn't exist in the first place. It's not "killing all germans because a lot of them were nazis", it's "killing all germans because ALL OF THEM were nazis". I certainly don't agree with the genocide because it ultimately lead to even more suffering for everyone involved, but saying the hornsent didn't deserve it is downplaying the horrid things they did. They absolutely deserved what was given to them, but Marika took it a lot further than she needed.

can't wait for the dynamic writing Erdetree DLC would drop 🤤

Care to hit me with some lore?

@@silentnquiet The hornsent used tooth whips to whip the flesh of the Shamans (Marika's people) since their flesh melds harmoniously into jars to commence the Jar saint ritual. Marika was likely tortured and nearly stuffed into a jar, but she managed to escape and crossed the gates, becoming the eternal and swearing revenge for the death of her people. We know the Gates of Divinity are built from corpses, but who built it is unknown, its definitely before Marika, though, so there's a possibility that the hornsent built the gates with the corpses of Shamans to commence the ritual of divinity and ascension, maybe they believed that if they crossed it, they may commune with the Heavens themselves, they did believe themselves messenger of Heaven, since the crucible touched them, even building Enir-Ilim to get closer and closer in physical form. The hornsent hunted the Shamans because they believed anyone untouched by the crucible is lesser than, since the crucible is nature itself, (symbolic to trees, horns etc), and the Shamans were "purified" in the eyes of the hornsent. It's also worth noting that the specimen storehouse is chalk full of old tomes and a treatment clinic for the fleshy Shamans, implying Messmer preserved hornsent knowledge in attempt to heal his mother's people.

@@silentnquietyou know those slimy things that burst out of the jars that you fight in the gaols? Those were shamans, Marika’s people. They were enslaved by the hornsent and stuffed into jars in the hope that they could become “saints”. That is why Marika is so full of hate towards the Omens and why she made Messmer slaughter their kind

It's not so good if they are marching towards you

@@Valzackit’s hardly ominous. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on lmao

Yes you can see Messmer sending other bodies up to the tree later in the clip!

maybe all that meat is the primordial crucible?

The golden strands she's holding also look a lot like a rune arc

Ngl I thought that was Godwyn for a brief moment. I really hope he shows up in the dlc since Fromsoft isn't doing anything else with Elden Ring besides this

@@TheMrNukeman ?

He's so totally based off Griffith and I'm terrified of what he's gonna do to his "band of the hawk" 😭

Yup, i dont trust miquela for for 1 second

ah no wonder

I'm gonna be the different one and say he's actually a nice dude

"I.... sacrifice"

How different you think fromsoftware is compared to the rest of gaming industry? Are they like a diamond in the rough or a hidden gem that just being discovered?

@@realhidetaka the souls games are incredibly thoughtful and rewarding its like these guys are from the future and know how to make a complete game without it feeling so ... Gamey Industry--y. Like Cyberpunk2077 failed so badly to me. It felt so corporate while having this anti-corporate terrorist character that doesn't seem to have much a motive to his actions other than "big corporation bad" and blowing shit up without any real meaning to it.

Lemme put it this way ​@@realhidetaka. Fromsoftware are the only people I will pre order a game/DLC from anymore.

@@realhidetaka I know some people are fed up of games that seem to be designed to leech money off you. Whether that be through lots of micro-transactions, or a cash-cow series of games being abused. In comparison, From Software are of course still offering a product, but you're treated to games that had an extreme amount of love put into them, and are very well designed to boot, with no hidden fees. They're not alone, Larion Studios is another studio who similarly just seem to be concerned with delivering high quality games they love. Team Cherry is also another studio that comes to mind. It's a shame hearing game-devs talk about the industry, because a lot of them seem to also be just as concerned with delivering good quality games. But horrible management at studios, especially bigger ones, prevent them from making the games they truly want to make. And it seems like it's been an issue within the industry for a long time, many, many stories of management prioritizing what they think will make the most profits and appease their shareholders.

@@realhidetaka My man, just because you may have only heard of Fromsoft does not make that a diamond in the rough or a hidden gem. Fromsoft is THE godfather of soulslike games. They are THE diamond. There is no rough or hidden here.

No it was correct. By abandoning his love, he abandoned his fate to be loving demigod/ God.

@@amoose3582 His entire deal as a god was to be compassionate. That sounds pretty loving to me.

@@Endonae , Did you ignore the part where he abandoned his compassion? How can you be a compassionate God when you don't have compassion. Miquella was a kind, compassionate demigod but stripped himself down to the point where he became borderline sociopathic. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I believe miquella genuinely wants to create an age of compassion, but he is naive, and in the process of trying to create it, has fallen into the same trap his mother did and became a POTENTIAL monster.

No kidding!! The suspense is terrible🤣

Me playing Paper Mario to bide the time until Shadow of the Erdtree (they're totally similar games guys I promise)

@@itsmeike That's me with Armored Core VI rn lmaooooo, focused on getting all of the endings and forgetting that time even exists. Like a Reverse Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball 😂

@@punishedvenomsnake716 I have no idea what a "Reverse Hyperbolic Time Chamber" is and I've never seen Dragon Ball, but sounds fun lmao

​@@itsmeike based af. And while you are at it, be sure to try out bug fables. It's like paper mario, but with insects.

Ikr! Its so good!

facts. it's amazing!

Gotta be a boss theme! Please and thank you. Considering how they used the main theme for the final boss, could even go that far

Sent me chills!

Yep

100% and the latter half of the trailer miquella’s? 👀

@@grotesquey tbh bro it makes no sense for miquella to be a boss, thats like if marika was a boss

​​@@herkadoo5519 actually, if miquella keeps sticking to their inspiration... i would not be so sure (If you're curious, this character has strong paralels with griffith, from berserk)

@@herkadoo5519I don’t know. We kill or intend to kill his sister. He tried so hard to save. Not sure how he’ll feel about that. However, the line about throwing away everything is interesting.

@@arionerron4273 I love Berserk with all my heart and didnt notice this at all, I really find it hard to understand this lore 😂

There's some bastard out there who did the 3d model for the cutsene, and he knows *exactly* what it is, and has carefully detailed every bit of it, in and out if frame. But we're kept in the dark on purpose to stoke speculation, perhaps no matter how hard we look. The answer may be "cropped out" of the game, just like the parts of that thing are cropped out of frame. It's perhaps one of the most frustrating thoughts I have nowadays

Bro, glad you are a part of it. I lived all the hype after Dark Souls 1 DLC and tot his day, Fromsoft DLC released days are the best gaming time of my life

Welcome aboard

Same, im so hyped, could compare it to the hype i have felt before god of war ragnarok and it delivered

That song at 2:00, my god we are gonna be fighting something so godly!

EXACTLY my thoughts 🤣

How much of the base game do you understand?

- Mesmeer is a Bram Stocker's Dracula big fan - Join the femboy simp squad in a rescue mission

same....like what IS GOING ON!!!! dont understand any of it.

that MIGHT be us

Speak for yourself. Plenty of people understand quite a lot. Tarnished Archaeologist predicted a lot of the content of this DLC two years ago.

@@garrett2439 yap

Everything they make is really easy to understand if you just make some effort but gamers are lazy

I love you too bro. Can't wait to don't understand shit and get frustrated with unbeatable bosses.

@@garrett2439calm down…you definitely are not one of them.

It's incredible. I'm really feeling Miquella's "welcome" score too. Super high fantasy shit and I'm all about it.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that chord progression at 2:06 before in any media it’s so unique

It's fcking awesome

OST GONNA BUMP IN THE SPACE COUP

Hopefully it’ll be better than main game

Fr then the serpents heads on pikes. It was sick

@@vance4172I think those r the lion dancer’s being strung up on those spears.

Got legit chills

Exactly my thoughts. It is so bright, uplifting and holy. I totally suspect it's for the final or penultimate boss and more specifically for Miquella. I literally couldn't imagine a more fitting song for him. They also ended one of the Ringed City trailers with Gael's theme back then.

@@valentinvas6454 i highly agree it's gna be so cool

the hopeful tone is especially noticeable at 2:40

Sounds like an entirely different composer

Now It gives me PTSD

St Trina and Miquella are the same person

How can you tell it's St Trina?

@@KamiKaze43v3r purple petals

Iykyk 😎

@@Mojanlwhy would it be Ranni

You have my spells

And my axe

“And you have my bow”

And my bow

And my staff

Chilling in the extreme. Loved it.

The only mistake miquella made. Abandoning his love meant we would not usher in an age of compassion as he proclaimed, but an age of control. One where the god adored is a husk unable to feel. The inspiration from Griffith/Femto is apparent now that I think about it

And poor trina still had a full body....

@@namelessiam7792 Not even just that, but they also abandoned their indecision and fears.

​@@ShinStriderHiryu The hard landing really messed St. Trina up.

A good Art team with heart and soul and imagination around the Art Direction goes a long way, and way further than any “realistic graphics” ever have.

Focusing on realism tanks your budget and your game looks like garbage in 5 years. Fromsoft are smart

The game still looks « realistic » in its presentation, but above all it’s the art style that makes the game timeless.

Their pre-rendered animations are always great, so I always hope for them to use a modernized fully path tracing renderer in their games to make the actual games to look like the CGs

@@jmssun That was the dumbest thing I've read in years

Yes, art is art. Got any other fascinating comments?

@@Rich_P_Anya who hurt you? seek therapy, bud.

There is a David Lynch level of surrealism to FromSoft's material. The mood and imagery of everything they do is so enchanting

Miquella the tickla 😭🙏

yup

Bro got miquellested

Poor boy waiting his dynasty that never comes😞

@@harshilpatel5950 weeeeeeell... it would've been a dynasty kidnaping and blood draining people, so I personally don't want it to come
