REACTING TO ELDEN RING DLC STORY TRAILER - Shadow of the Erdtree 

Great reaction! The "jellyfish" image of Miquella looks to be his Saint Trina aspect. And the figure at the beginning pulling out the gold threads and holding them up, judging by the bracelets and bangles on the arms, is actually Marika. Probably this is when she became a god.

It was glorious, it will be glorious!

That Miquella/St. Trina shot was so gorgeous! So excited!

I think that that Miquella image underwater with those purple colors is his form as St. Trina right?

I'm pretty new to Elden Ring but I've been binging through your playthrough more or less at the same pace to see if you did something I''ve missed. Looking forward to being here in real time for your playthrough!

The figure in the beginning is marika! Shes frequently depicted with that bangle

Go Emma go! I love your channel and personality so much! LETS GO FOR SHADOW OF THE ERD TREE! I think the person on stairs in the beginning is Marika. Since the land of shadow is where she became a god

We walk with Miquella

Obsession with the conviction with which you said “and I may cry”

As much as I can't wait to get my hands on the DLC, for the single-player stuff, I also can't wait to see what updates they've brought to co-op.

It was an eye that was shown in the first seconds, not a V

i think the first woman we see is Marika establishing the golden order. Same bracelet

4:52 ok I wonder if all this imagery is saying this place is the birthplace of Marika. (Birth of her godhood) Speculation 🤷‍♂️

“We choose to follow.”

From Soft, take my money again...🤩

Thank you kindly!

i love your tweets. "are u single" XD also idk if it has always been that way but i never noticed your name is Eldenlition. 😂 (also im just commenting this here cuz i didnt know which tweet to make this comment under) edit: i went on that are you single guy's channel and the first comment i read is "She’s with someone that’s not you." referring to another comment he made on someone else's video. which implies he does this alot. LOL

I love your top!

Babe wake up Emma from Emmalition posted

I NEED TO TAKE MESSMER DOWN MAN

The pick-me energy is strong with this one

Are you single?

6:18 that's almost certainly Marika! It might even be the very moment she's establishing the Golden Order, splitting the Lands Between form the Land of Shadows, or maybe that's her assuming godhood. That pose with the rune flowing around looks a lot like Marika's rune we have in the game (the inverse of the Rune of Death)

Messmer is totally looking like Vladd the Impaler there when he’s standing amongst the impaled omen things.

From the way the lady talks in the trailer, she makes it seem like Miquella was tired of being a child and just wanted to grow up haha

F***!!!! I'm still stuck with Commander O'Neil!!! Wait for me 🤣

It was officially stated by Bandai Namco that Marika began the Golden Order in the Realm of Shadow so I believe the first scene of the trailer we see is that. Especially since the golden thread she holds seems to resemble the rune arc she's crucified to. Also the pile of bodies with the opening in the middle reminds me of the opening that leads inside the Erdtree 🤔

It's interesting to note that the background surrounding Marika closely resembles the substance of the blasphemous blade. It's as if a blasphemous ritual had taken place at that moment or a blasphemous act had been committed. Additionally, there's the fact that this occurs long before everything else, as the trailer mentions: "Miquella speaks of the beginnings." Possibly, this refers to the creation of all that is golden and Marika's ascension. As for Messmer, he gives me the impression of being a scapegoat or, rather, a military straw man. I mean a person used in war to carry out brutal actions and then eliminated to dissociate from those acts. That's why it's an unsung war, an ignored or invisible war. Perhaps this ancient land, before the Erdtree and all that is golden, was used as a sacrifice, as fertilizer, for Marika's ascension and the golden age. At the same time, that land was hidden in the shadows to conceal that the holy emerged from the impure, or rather, from the sacrifice of an entire civilization, you know? So that no one would doubt the purity and divinity. This is as far as I can speculate. Another topic would be discussing the role of Miquella, who, along with Godwyn, seems to me the most interesting character in all of Elden Ring. PS: Well, there's also Marika. She is just as interesting.

Why don't other youtubers ever remove the "annotations" from the video settings so they don't have that little Bandai Namco thingy in the corner?

Marika's "Ascension" in trailer really reminded me of Ranni's Age of Stars. I wonder if Empyrean can only become a fully-fledged God in a "place of power" that belonged to the previous order. Marika became Goddess in Red Crucible by summoning the Greater Will. Ranni became Goddess in Erdtree's husk by summoning the Dark Moon.

Man, the music in this trailer is AMAZING, I'm so excited. Can I just go to sleep for a month?

Hang on, hang on, hang on. Marika pulls blonde hair out of what i presume is the godskin swaddling cloth, when she is walking uo the steps her hair is red, then turns blonde as she appears to start the golden order.

The blonde woman in the beginning is marika as she has the same bangles as marika at the beginning of the radagon fight

YESSs Emma!! Unexpected Elden Ring trailer days are the best. Also I'm thinking maybe that's Marika at the beginning?? Like setting up the golden order?

What a time to be tarnished!

Miquella in that egg reminds me so much of griffith in that one arc where he is reborn back into earth.

Marika's bangle, pulling something out of what looks like a godskin.

Forget GOTY...i think its viable that Elden Ring win the fucking OSCAR with these cinematics holy shit

Emma's reaction can literally be summed up in a phrase: screaming, crying, throwing up.

Aren’t you the screaming girl who played DS2 with Symbalily?

that first thirty seconds of marika is probably the most important part of the whole story trailer.

Your excitement is going to make this playthrough the absolute best!!

3:21 -> The *music* from this point onwards is GLORIOUS 😮!

I know everyone is excited for Messmer (I am too) but what truly gave me chills was "Even his fate" and showing Miquella falling into purple mist. I'M SO EXCITED FOR ST. TRINA!!!! I hope their design hasn't changed too much from what we saw from the base games cut content.

Marika is actually like Griffith. Miquella; we are yet to witness. Make sure your have Frienzied Flame ending for a chance to meet Melina in DLC.

So I’m assuming the two major tracks we hear are Messmer’s and Miquella’s boss themes respectively. I swear, if that final theme isn’t boss music for Miquella, St. Trina, or Godwyn, I’m gonna scream.

It’s just my personal thought but could the beast clergymen on the steps could he have been Miquella’s “Shadow” like how Maliketh was Queen Marika’s and how Blaidd was Ranni’s. When I watched the video I was like could it be but idk if it was just a thought tho

With the context of newly discovered lore, this trailer is made so much better. The beginning literally shows us how Marika became a god; by committing genocide on the hornsent as an act of revenge and using their bodies as a sacrifice at the Gate of Divinity to beckon an outer god to commune with her. The Greater Will responded.

People are confusing, cause Miquella is very similar to Marika, but is not. Is Miquella and the all DLC is about him and the inmaculate gold that he create.

Miquella is already seducing me with this trailer and ive never even met him 😵‍💫

i think i was equally excited by the trailer and the shirt. very nice 👍👍

I love your tshirt

I’m so sorry I’m late to the party 🥺thank you beautiful one 3 minutes was awesomeness 🥹❤️

I might be wrong but I got the impression you are excited for the DLC?

I wonder how many people died just during the trailer. They should get a trophy.

Ahhhh I didn’t know this was released! I saw you uploaded and thought it was about the last trailer but goodness me this was a delight! You are the bearer of great news to my day

It's BALL-duh-kin, not ball-duh-chin

Fromsoft gang we eatin GOOOOD like always🔥

Still waiting on that maxor elden ring part 3 reaction

Thousandth like here! Booyah!

So many people don't know about the 宵色眼眸的女王? She may be Marika's former lord

Hold up, is the narrator Marika!?! Wait, nvm. The narrator says at the end "We chose to follow." It can't be her.

I just live in hope for the day when Bandai Namco take on Tolkien. The opening Marika imagery and the beginnings of the Golden Order was just stunning.

That’s a dope shirt

Thanks for the video Emmalition. It's fun to have your commentary on what others have said, sort of like getting to engage in a dialog about it and hear reactions and opinions in a way that's totally different from reading what people have posted in the comment sections. Hope you do more.

ERUDEN RINGU

LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DLC will be lightwork for Fanta 😤😤😤

"Affair" in this contect means "an event or sequence of events of a specified kind or that has previously been referred to." i.e. not an affair between people!! They are just trying to throw us all off !!

The 720p save at 0:58 is iconic. Can you imagine watching the new Elden Ring DLC trailer in anything less than 4k? Jesus. Doesn't bear thinking about!

Loved it ❤❤❤

So Ranni is kind of the Neutral Good ending. Miquella will be the true Good ending?

I think the "beast clergyman at 7:43 kind of looks like Mohg. I have no idea how that would make any sense but the robe looks super similar to his and I think I can make out a few horns on the top of his head, he looks too smol though

OMFG it was hair being pulled out of a sac, his mother's golden hair.

I love how Miquella was the elusive tragic demigod in the base game… and little by little it is revealed he maybe the most important one.

Hype

Hey emma just checking are going to be on new walking dead this week

first time i see one of your videos, I do like your descriptions of the trailer :) arstistic view

Am I the only one who thought the dead body was a Crucible Knight at 2:15 ?

So that's gotta be the Haligtree but in this parallel dimension right?

Do we think the third type of Butterflies are Messmers? The Aenonian butterflies are Melanias.. (because rot)? The Nascent butterflies are Miquellas.. (because cocoon)? The third type, the Smoulderding butterfly, nobody could figure out who they were linked to.. But now with Messmers reveal.. it's safe to say they are his? (because fire)? Messmer has to be Miquella and Melania's other brother who stayed behind in the land of shadow. So he is Marika's other child with Radagon? Thoughts?

Oh my lordy ❤

cannot wait for the new outfits for Elden bling 😅

this looks awesome. Emma, will you go back into Elden Ring and post some on here before the DLC to get back up to speed with controls and dynamics, etc...? please do

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I’m so excited holy CRAP

wtf that was so fast LMAOOOOO

I feel like this dlc will show us how radagon and marika where one person all along because how could she half a child by herself

I am bit confused with chronology on multiple places. First scene looks like end of some battle, we see hundreds of death bodies and Marika pulling something gold from death enemy - maybe Gloam eyed queen and the perform some ritual. If it is the first time she becoming god, does that mean Shadow realm and Lands between was connected at that point? Because the land of shadows seems already separated, so either Marika somehow manage to do it before she became god or she is already god and the ritual means something completely else. Also how Miquella fit into it? Is the battles in lands of shadow happening in recent history? Is this before he went to make is own Eldtree or is it after Mogh capture him (and I assume Miquella somehow escape to the land of shadow). More likely it happened more in the past, because when Miquella was captured by Mogh, the Elden ring was already shattered and Marika imprisoned. Bu that mean Miquella was already here before the Golden order was established and Gloam eyed queen defeated, so he is much older than I expected. This also means Radagon was already part of Marika at this point. While current gamr lore suggest he was champion appearing around war with Carian and then somehow merged with Marika, now it seems like Radagon was always part of Marika (or at least much older than we expected) which can have further lore implication. And when and what he abandoned and how and why he get rid of his flesh. Because he was obviously fully alive and study in Golden order under his father Radagon when searching for cure for Malenia. This timelines quite confuse me. Anyway my expectation is to see almost post apocalyptic land torn by Messmer war campaign and Miquella is paying the land of shadow second visit to somehow fix it or deal with unfinished business.

I’m hyped

I was there for the twitter meltdown!!!!!!!!

The devil works fast but Emma works faster

I am ready baby!

Emma Rules!😅❤

lets goooo

omg omg OMG

I can't wait for St Trina. The way the music switch from Messmer's Massacre to this angelic melody introducing Miquella, Trina and their followers is amazing, I actually cried watching this it goes from my stomach straight to my brain no joke intended. Loved your reactions, we'll rejoice in a month
