Sir Gideon Ofnir Is The Villain 

I'd be embarassed if I got caught gatekeeping my own lore theories from the larger community under the guise of 'being the victim of plagiarization' the stories of these games have always been a community wide discussion, a soup of everyone's ideas - no one remembers who originates an idea, they remember the idea itself, and I think that's a good thing.

The only people who can claim any true ownership over Elden Ring's story are Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin. Everyone else in the fan community should just celebrate this game's amazing world and help one another understand their creation.

The answer to why he wants to get to the haligtree, is because the whole lands between knows of Meleania and Rhadhans fight - and everyone knows melania was injured in said fight, and fell into a slumber, and was DRAGGED back to the haligtree by her cleanrot knights. He thinks that great rune is easy pickings.

Gideon says when ensha attacks “ensha got ahead of himself”. Ensha attacks when we only have one half of the medallion. He “got ahead of himself” because he didn’t kill us when we had both. The end goal was us assassinated and the full medallion given to Gideon. When we kill ensha, the response is “I regret”. He doesn’t deflect responsibility for the order, he just regrets he gave it at the time he did, as if he had waited for us to have both before telling ensha to kill us, ensha wouldn’t have “gotten ahead of himself”. Of course by that time we would’ve been way more powerful, and perhaps that’s why ensha attacks when he does. I dunno.

Plagiarism doesn't exist in Fromsoft lore. No one owns these ideas, but kudos to you for citing your source.

I can take a good guess as to why Gideon seems to value the Great Runes of Malenia and Miquella more than the others. It’s more than likely because they’re both Empyreans. He seemed to have been interested in Ranni’s great rune as well because she’s an Empyrean as well, but he gave up looking for it once he found out that she cast her rune aside.

It might just be me but I think Gideon has one of the best voices in the entire game.

Every Redditor wants to be "that guy" and get all the attention for one idea they had. Don't take it too seriously at the end of the day, it's just a theory. It's not even his story to write lol. I think the fact that he wouldn't contact you and work together says it all. He wanted every ounce of attention he could squeeze out of that post. Such a Redditor thing to do.

It could be possible that Gideon Ofnir believes he is aiding the Queens plans but does not realize that Radagon and Marika are one in the same. So while he believes that the Queen wishes for us to struggle for eternity on behalf of the Erdtree and Greater Will, he is actually and unintentionally assisting Radagon. He tells us that he is on a quest to become all knowing, he never says that he knows all. What if his entire belief of the Queen's "plan" was simply mixed up and misinterpreted because Gideon couldn't find the last piece of his puzzle, and assumed it to be complete?

Obviously you’re sincere about it being a mistake and you did everything you can to rectify it. It’s more than most people would do. Anybody who can’t accept that isn’t worth the headache. Love your vids, keep up the great work!

Gideon is very inspired by the Norse god Odin. Odin is literally described as "all knowing". Part of the curse of being all knowing is that you know the way the world will end and how everyone you know will die. The story in Elden Ring revolves around Death (destined death and the rune of death) being removed from existence. Also the dung eater cursing peoples soul to never return to the edrtree. In this world, no one can die. Elden Ring as well as all dark souls/sekiro/fromsoft games is about becoming immortal at the expence of humanity. And Odin in norse mythology was obsessed with postponing Ragnarok (the end of the world)

Something interesting I found while fighting Rykard- During the second phase, he destroyed a pillar that happened to have loot in it. Thinking that was odd, I grabbed it to find that it was armor with Gideons crest on it (or something like that), suggesting that a soldier of Gideons attempted to fight Rykard.

I think when Gideon’s armour says he ‘glimpsed into the will of Marika’ that you are correct in your theory of keeping the struggle to feed the Erdtree, but I think it was actually Radagon he glimpsed into unknowingly; it’s fairly well known now amongst lore enthusiasts that Marika defied the Greater Will, so her plans being to serve it doesn’t add up. furthermore, not even the Gold Mask knew that Marika is Radagon, so who’s to say that Gideon didnt know this either. this would explain why Radagon fights the tarnished, to prevent the mending of the Elden Ring and to keep the struggle in the Lands Between

During the opening cinematic, it states clearly the Lands Between were abandoned by the Greater Will during the wars of the Shattering. The description of Lord's Divine Fortification tells us that the Two Fingers tells Ofnir that "all had been broken long ago; that the trembling fingers, bent with age, and the Erdtree itself, were no exception." The Greater Will has fled. The Elden Beast was a vassal of the Greater Will. The Elden Beast IS the Erdtree and the Elden Ring, not the Greater Will. The Elden Beast is likely on the side of maintaining things as they are, because it's being fed the dead. The Fingers are likely trying to hide the true state of what has happened. They too have been forsaken by the Greater Will. That's why they're aging. But they don't want to give up their power. We can only guess when the Two Fingers told Ofnir about the true state of things. I don't trust him. He may have known since before we arrived in the Lands Between or at some point when he's not available to speak to us.

Ofnir was EXTREME sus to me after he said Nepheli was young enough to be naive and trustworthy toward him basically. I can't remember his EXACT verbiage used but that was essentially the implication of what he said.

I always found how Gideon says Ensha got "rather ahead of himself" Almost implying that the plan IS to eventually kill you for some reason, but Ensha went for it too early. Love it.

Dont take this criticism to heart, just another lesson learned on your youtube journey! Keep up the great content, gotta feed that cute dog of yours!

The thing I never got about Gideon's first words to us, about earning our keep, is that no one ever tells us what they did to earn their keep. Sure Gideon seems to be the leader, but of what? There doesn't seem to be any kind of army or even organization beyond a loose scattering of tarnished. Most tarnished we meet don't ally or answer whatsoever to Gideon and are trying to kill us, doing their own thing, or are in direct competition with us. Do these other tarnished have Great Runes that they never mention? Because that was how we earned his respect, what did the others do, It's always bugged me.

Sir Gideon Is The Perfect Embodiment Of "Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain"

I want to know more about Marika because there are at least two characters who seem to be terrified of her. Gideon's armor mentions him seeming to be startled by Marika's will and Master Hewg mentioned the sheer terror of her.

Does Gideon know that we're in a game struggling to beat it? Marika is too meta here!

First the mission given to the Tarnished was to slay the Elden Beast, it's the secret reason she created the Tarnished as confirmed by Hewg and Roderika's dialogue. It's why she tasks Hewg with forging a weapon that can kill a god. It's also why she gives her daughter Melina the mission to burn the Erdtree and guide someone to Maliketh's location to free Destined Death also known as Rune of Death. (Game files name Melina as "maricaofdaughter" and she speaks of the task given to her by her mother inside the Erdtree) Now there were other Demigods in the past aside from just the ones at Leyndell. A bunch were killed on the night of black knives. And presumably some weren't killed as well and survived longer. You can find them in the walking Mausoleums, Miquella was experimenting with one of them to see if he can resurrect it outside Castle Sol. Presumably there are other runes in the Round Table Hold's possession already since Gideon had access to the Two Fingers and he speaks of needing one to meet them. The Finger Reader mentions other people that have had 2 before as well. Since this is in part a competition of sorts and we know you can assemble different runes to complete the Ring then it stands to reason he and possibly others like Godfrey already have runes they can use to complete the ring but something or someone else is possibly stalling them. Also: "There are six Great Runes in Elden Ring, each of them held by a mighty demigod. Players only need to obtain two of them to enter Leyndell, Royal Capital, and pass through to the end of the game." So I put forth it's the lack of a weapon or in part Hewg that stalls them. Their mission given to them by Marika is to slay the Elden Beast. So even if you have the runes you shouldn't be able to just go in there if you can't complete the mission given by Marika. So then what do you do? I believe that's where Gideon/the Round Table was in part stalled. For story purposes the game assumes you will have a +10 or +25 weapon using the Ancient Dragon Stones that say specifically they can slay a God. Perhaps those are meant to be exclusively available in Farum Azula story wise instead of spread out in the game world as they are and Gideon has found no path there. And of course Gideon's own beliefs seem to stall him once he thinks he's figured out Marika's true will, that they suffer in chaos essentially and struggle. As he says while dying "A man cannot kill a god..." Which I believe is the only reason why he says Marika wants them to struggle, he simply thinks you can't kill a god. In the end he knew nothing. As for Marika's will, she began to plot against the Greater Will after she started to research and investigate the Greater Will. It's from when she says that blind faith isn't enough and you can see her chamber filled with her research. So what did she uncover that makes her betray the Greater Will and begin her plotting? That's really just open to a lot of debate and speculation. However I present the simple notion that the Greater Will is clearly meant to be the gnostic Yaldabaoth the Demiurge. Great and terrible golden god of order and control. Sound familiar already? If you look him up you can see how they derived the Erdtree design from his popular interpretations. (There is even one picture of him as a golden tree with a woman inside it...) The god desires to feed on the life he creates, so I suspect the fact he's taking everyone's souls into the Erdtree is ultimately a bad thing you've been manipulated and deceived into thinking is a good thing for you. Marika discovers this and begins to plot. It's why she "punishes" the Tarnished by severing them from grace, so that when they die their souls won't be claimed by the Erdtree. She then continues scheming and various plots which ultimately culminate in her feeling she has no choice but to shatter the ring. What pressures her? Was she part of the plot of the black knives? Was she trying to free her demigod children from flesh the same way Ranni and Melina are? (Do you think it's a coincidence that Ranni and Melina seem to be friends due to Melina trusting her with the bell? Melina says she's "Burned and bodiless" and Ranni's body is found burnt and we know the black knives weapons emit red/black flames.) Did the plot go horribly wrong? Or did the black knive betray them as they clearly aren't working with Ranni anymore as they try to kill her...we still have a lot of questions.

The Elden beast isn’t the greater will it was sent by the greater will to the lands between in an Elden Star to take the form of the Elden ring so you do not kill the greater will, in the Elden beast’s swords description it says the beast was a vassal of the greater will ie: loyal servant

Dude who striked it was a total scrub to begin with. Hope the comment helps it's a neat theory at the least

He probably knows something we don't, he is the all knowing after all.

I haven’t felt so good about a game like this since Skyrim. Watching these videos and hearing background music from Skyrim makes me feel some type way. Good stuff!

A flaws I can note about this theory: He says Unto instead of Onto, which in most circumstances can mean similar things, although not always. When taking into account Melina's dialogues about marika, we can conclude she actually DID want the tarnished and demigods alike to struggle in eternal conflict until one of them became strong enough to take the throne. Unto in certain definitions can mean until, perhaps Ofnir is calling this struggle meaningless or impossible? This tracks with him saying none can take the throne; not because he wants to prevent it, but rather he views it as outright impossible. We know many things about Gideon; infact, most of his story is explained EXCEPT for his interaction with queen marika. Rather than a simple villain, id argue Ofnir plays a far less common roll, that of the Anti-Villain. Anti-Villains are characters with good motives, but who go to evil means to achieve them. First, let me lay the ground works for what we know of Ofnir (Assuming he isnt lying to us): He is a fellow tarnished, like us, who seeks to gain knowledge in order to become elden lord -His dialogue He is one of, if not the oldest tarnished at the table; He was likely present within the first iteration of the roundtable, the roundtable in the capital, where we can find items related to many of the characters who are currently/once were part of the table (For instance, Fia and Hewg). -Yet again his dialogue, although this is questionable and related to something we have little lore about We know for a fact that either he or Vyke have two great runes -Enia dialogue, specifically "Only once before have I seen two Great Runes together... The Fingers expect... As much from you as they do young Gideon." He has communed directly with the two fingers; and he apparently knows the origins of the world -Lord's Divine Fortification He also once had a friend in Dolores, known as the sleeping arrow who is known for her St Trina arrows -Dolores the Sleeping Arrow Puppet Furthermore, one of the four rites known only to him is the crafting recipe of a "Bewitching branch", using a St Trina cookbook, and which is one of miquella's major items -His rewards Infact, much of his dialogue revolves around Miquella and attempting to find him; and we know that (originally) Miquella WAS St Trina in cut content. He adopted Nepheli, likely when she was an adult woman, and taught her that he intended to fix the world and prevent the weak from being trod on. And finally, he personally met with queen marika, and he was fearful of what she told him. My theory is as follows: Gideon does legitimately believe in the ideals he states to nepheli. He searches for knowledge in order to become powerful enough to become lord, likely holding two great runes already from times past. He works towards this goal under an "Any means necessary" Mentality, which I will explore further momentarily. In order to further this goal, he seeks out Miquella (a child progeny and empyrean capable of replacing queen Marika on the throne) potentially in order to become his consort? Or perhaps just to gain more strength in order to usher in his new era. Regardless, he seeks the medallions to reach the haligtree regardless of the extents he needs to go to (Likely sending ensha to obtain them for him, in cut content Latenna says the same "All-hearing Brute" line, but adds on "I told that bastard in the bone armor", also explaining why ensha attacks us for it). Once we obtain one, he encourages us to find the other half and open the snowfields, further urging us towards the haligtree in search of miquella, and finally concluding his search once he finds out that miquella is no longer in "Working order" Shall we say. He then moves to the ashen capital, speaking directly with marika/radagon/potentially the elden beast, and realizes that in order to become Elden lord, he would have to slay the Elden Beast, a task he is incapable of doing (Note Hewg's obsession with forging us a weapon specifically to kill a god, perhaps implying even with death unbound only certain people/weapons can kill a god?). He sees the end that should not be; that of the eternal and meaningless struggle of the tarnished, for, if he, a person who devoted his whole life to the pursuit of knowledge and power, cannot defeat a god, who can? He directly states that "A man cannot kill a god", and that he believes no other tarnished capable of taking the throne. I'd even go so far as saying that he likely ends up coming to the realization that the ends, in his case, did not justify the means, and all of what he did was for naught. Im honestly just making shit up at this rate I dont know man, why did you read all of this? I definitely dont think he is working for marika though, especially with his odd ties to miquella.

What I took from him saying it, he became fearful, because he knew that Marika wanted a Tarnished to Slay the Elden Beast, Ofnir thinks that it’d be literally impossible, and that’s why he thinks Marika wants them to struggle for eternity.

ALL of the outer gods in this game require "something" that sustains them. Whether it be a cycle of life, struggle, then returning to the erdtree to be born anew, suffering and death, or... well more suffering and death, it seems the gods simply feed on the mortality of lesser beings albeit slightly differently.

It's the remembrances! I knew something was up when you fight him and he uses all the incantations you get from remembrances including malenia rot flower incantation

Question about the theory, why does Queen Marica task Hewg to create a weapon to slay a God? Was Gideon's plan from before the shattering, and perhaps the Queen has had a change of heart unbeknownst to Gideon?

Loved the video but one comment, when you kill the Elden Beast you didn’t kill the Greater Will. The Elden Stars incantation says the Elden Beast was a vassal sent by the Greater Will. A vassal is an acting “lord” of a land, someone that the true king would send to rule a far away land on his behalf. The Greater Will is just one of the many outer gods in the game who are seemingly too far away to have direct physical influence on the lands between so they have others act on their behalf.

it is also interesting to note that Gideon has nothing to say when you come back to him after defeating Malenia.

Gideon is siding with Morgott, who sides with Radagon, who sides with the Greater Will . Each one wants to prevent all tarnished to reach the Erdtree with some Great Runes. Their explanation is everytime, that Marika wanted to see them struggle endless in the Shattering. So seeing all the Tarnished failing before you in the Story it seems Gideon was sabotaging the Roundtablehold all the time. Like an Sectret agent of Morgott. Another strange thing is Vyke, the strongest Tarnished before yourself who achieved to wield two great Runes but met his "end" at the three fingers. Without the consent of Morgott he could never have entered this chamber, someone (Gideon maybe) gave Vyke fake infos and lead him there. Which resulted in shattering Vykes ambitions for the good. And would show the partnership of Morgott and Gideon. Another part is his Position to Miquella. It´s not full clear, but his task to find the Entrance to the Haligtree and collecting informations about Miquellas Fate shows his concerns of the possibility for another rising God in the Lands Between which would result in the End of the Shattering. I think his reason is, as long nothing changes, his Position as the best knowledable Person in the World is safe. Like an Archivar of the Ruined World, where all is writen down and nothing changes.

The small details you take into account to come up with these theories is absolutely amazing! Great video man this truly changed the way I thought about this game lore wise

Great content! So glad I found the channel! Keep up the good work!!! Loving these videos.

Great content and don't stress too much. You've corrected the record and that shows character! Keep up the great work

Glad the video is back, really wanted to watch it.

I've heard, the more you talk to Gideon about what you have discovered the more powerful he will be in the fight against him. Does anybody made that experience?

There is something else that is different from all the other ruin bearers and the two at the halegtree, the two at the tree are empearyians, not just Demi gods, maybe he want to personally destroy them because as empearyians they can be selected as a vessel for the elden ring replacing queen marika

"sorry for not citing his work" it doesn't matter unless there's actual evidence to be cited. If the words aren't contingent on particular data, e.g. item descriptions, in-game dialogue, then the fidelity of the content in question is independent of whoever is sharing it. "Credit where credit is due" for sure... but if you post your lore theory on reddit, it can be, will be, and SHOULD be added to the collective "mind bank" of ER lore, and it SHOULD BE SHARED. Actually bothering to credit the original source IMO is a bit pedantic, (to be fair, it is the more ethical choice), but to actually accuse someone of plagiarism such as in this case, what a fucking joke lmao. It's not like an academic plagiarizing their thesis or essay, what you did is more like archaeology, uncovering information/understanding that may have been lost to time otherwise. And thank you for it.

Dude i love your Lore Videos, keep them coming!

Great job getting the video back, we can enjoy your theories in peace

I think Gideon is actually rebelling against the end that he knows Marika wants to bring- it sounded more like a lamentation when he says she expects them to struggle into eternity

I hope this can add to the Gideon fight. Gideon will only use attacks from the great runes or quest you have acquired or completed. It's like he's using what you've learned against you

Great content! Appreciate the time you put in 🔥

your videos, your voice and the qay you present the elden ring lore to us is top notch. I subbed as soon as i found you. Keep up the good work mate!

0:38 I think the name is Ancalagon V, like the 5th Ancalagon (the name is, I'm sure, A big af dragon from Tolkien lore) lol. I don't know if AgtJake knew or just didn't notice, but as the game has some inspiring Middle-earth stuff, I think it's cool to comment. About the reupload, it's nice to see a youtuber who makes content about something I like doing this, I see that the community is kind of defending/supporting each other and misinterpreted the video as "hey bro, this guy is stealing another guy's theory". You know, some other youtubers would just ignore it and actually steal theories without giving credit, but AgtJake I fell just forgot, and that's okay. Sorry for the text lol. Nice video (I actually watch it again)! P.S: I think Miquella is actually Michael Cera.

I find the fact that the 3 and 2 fingers used to be the same entity really interesting once you consider that the frenzied flame seems to have an (insane) intelligent entity/manifestation, while the other doesn't. The Elden Ring was shattered and apparently the fingers reacted in the same way, but the larger half of the Hand now embodies the Frenzied Flame. Coincidentally after this happens the Greater Will just up and dissapears, while Shabriri appears from nowhere and literally CULTivates some followers for the Frenzied Flame. If my assumption is correct then the Greater Will IS the Frenzied Flame, or what's left of it after it was shattered. The Outer God was literally driven insane post fracture, but the Elden Beast and the Erd Tree don't recognize them anymore and have been set up to renew/keep themselves in power hence the thorns. (Elden Beast/Erd Tree are likely afraid of the Frenzied Flame's influence and since Vyke suspect anyone from the lands between of harboring it.)

also subbed and turned on the bell!!! youtube needs to push your stuff way more bro you have a chill relaxing voice and actually really care about what you're talking about!

Im a brand new subscriber and honestly i really like the content you been putting out and I hope your channel continues to grow. Good shit my guy!

I legit thought I had dreamed up seeing this video this morning cause when I went to find it again I couldn’t haha

Really nice seeing this back

Just subscribed and think your channel is absolutely awesome. I feel bad for not knowing about you sooner! Look forward to catching up and more videos to come!

This was awesome! Keep this up man!

Hey bro! Thanks for your videos! You didint really do anything wrong. Great job!

One... slight problem. Marika was the one who shattered the elden ring. Her weapon mentions that explicitly. As such, if Gideon is tying his motivations specifically to her, then we cannot truly say that she is in favor of supporting this cycle of parasitic erdtree sucking on the suffering juice, at least not anymore. He could certainly be mistaken about one or more variables... but to me, it's not so simple as him wanting to protect the greater will's interests if he is smart enough to know what's truly going on.

More videos like this. Love lore, don’t have time to look this all up. It’s nice to hear it in a well put story’s.

The only actually good RU-vid apology, I respect you even more now man

Imagine if the Cresfallen Warrior had somehow managed to become the boss of the Nexus or the Firelink Shrine. That's Gideon Ofnir. Defeatism, nihilism, envy, cowardice, cynicism, all warped into his weird vision that "no Tarnish can ever become the Elden Lord so why even try when you can cower in your Rounbtable alternate reality chambers as the world continues to go tits up out there?" Dude doesn't even care that his "guests" keep dying or turning against each other right under his nose haha.

No one is the “villain”. They all just have their own motivations. Gideon is like Little Finger.

This is so convincing, Well Done! This is my first video from you, and it's a promising one😀

i just subbed cuz the thumbnails are great and these vids are put togetehr very well (:

I really like Gideon I cosplay him with my second character :D In Zullie The Witches video called "unmasking friendly npc's" you can see how Gideon looks under his helmet and with ALL the stats for his character creation So I used that to make a Gideon myself Fun fact: Sir Gideon Ofnir has the exact amount of space available for your name

This is no theory. After hearing this just listen to ofnirs tone toward you when you come talk to him after a while. Hes super annoyed but feels back and pretends to be nice again. He was always plotting. The villain

It just dawned on me that in the opening of the game, where we see Marika/Radagon. It first shows Marika, and then when the screen fades to black and displays stuff again, it's Radagon

You got me with the "food on the table and the dog picture". Subscribed.

I tried waiting to talk to Gideon (or even visit the Roundtable) until I had a bunch of Great Runes, all restored, but sadly he still has his 'mere visitor' line on first conversation. He must be evil.

AgtJake- it's okay. But here is something you think you can look at ? What are your thoughts on this actually being a future or past of dark souls ? I know even though it's stated this is not related, it's very interesting to see just the physical aspects of how it matches to how Dark Souls is. Let us know what you think

Props for owning your mistake. This is my first time seeing one of your vids but you’ve earned my sub

I love that Skyrim is such a widely popular game, that its ambience music is used for videos on other games

This is such a little mistake and you seem very genuine and kind, these types of videos are always great, good job man.

Good sir, your candor and demeanor has earned you my subscription. Fight past the hardship and push on!

I subscribed because you put your adorable dog pictures, it totally worked on me

most respectful and chill youtuber ive seen in awhile. hope u dont encounter anymore bad things in the future mate

5:35 Malenia was still asleep before we the player get there. He likely wanted the other medallion half because he thought he could easily get the rune from a sleeping victim. That’s why he has YOU go fight and kill the other rune bearers.

No hate, but I saw the post on Reddit about this and i don't think the gripe was about the main lore theory, but a specific part of your video where it seems like you are saying the exact same thing AncalagonV said on reddit a month ago. Hope you don't get hate for this though, no one needs that.

You are such a sympthatic and kind hearted guy please keep it up :)

Not them trying to gatekeep a fucking fan theory lmfaoooo

Was a very good video at first. But we understand the situation. And your past videos show where your heart is. Thanks for the hard work to bring this world to life. Looking forward for more.

Or it's just poor writing. Considering Gideon eventually fights the player anyway it would have been much more logical for him to simply get those the medallions and runes himself or fighting the player sooner since by the time he challenged the player he should know our power increased. He literally gained nothing by waiting.

Ah the legendary forbidden video. Finally, thanks for sticking to it. Been looking forward to this

When I first met Gideon and got to the roundtable it felt very much like a hunger games scenario. He needs our help and we need his knowledge but (at least initially) acknowledges there is only one Elden lord so either I figured he would try to kill us or hope we die during our task.

Sir Gideon is quite upfront about his method. I can't say he is a good person, but he is no way to be called a villain though. He is most likely a victim fooled by Queen Marika, or more likely Radagon.

The mere fact that Elden Ring has this much of a story on top of its incredible design and its unflinching difficulty is what makes Elden Ring live up to the old days of Arcade glory...and THEN some

Just realized "Ofnir" was one of the names for Odin, and also seems to be related to a serpent that gnaws on the world tree similar to Nidhoggr. Gideon had always given me Odin vibes when it comes to the "all knowing" aspect of his character, aswell as his lust for knowledge and power.

"Getting ahead of yourself" means to act impulsively, recklessly or without thinking.

Man, the line "He got a bit ahead of himself" always had me suspecting. I never knew that he was THAT bad though

I was shocked when I found Gideon and realized he was a fraud all along. He definitely fooled me but I wasted his ass anyway. Great video and lore so keep up the good work and glad you owned up to your mistake, it shows your a good guy.

Hey Don't beat yourself up man your doing good things we support you and thank you for the content

bro just made the best apology in all of RU-vid within a minute.

Gideon is a psychopath, everyone is a tool for him and he has no qualms tossing them to the side once they have outlived their usefulness to him. His behavior throughout the game reflects this. The way he tosses nepheli to the side like useless garbage is when I first realized what he was

Cool video! Ps. Honest mistakes happens, just keep up the great work

You are great jake. This are by far the best Elden Ring videos.

First time viewer and new sub. I hope you are still creating elden ring content and discussions. Your community is clearly with you.

2/10 RU-vid Apology. - No deep sigh at the beginning - No "I didn't want to have to make this video" phrase - No Dog on your lap being pet - Sounded genuine - Admitted to fault - No Interpretive dance nor Ukulele - RU-vid Comments are still open and likes aren't hidden Please try and do better with making RU-vid Apologies

You're going above and beyond here. Ideas can't be copyrighted, and this is a fantheory of From Software's IP. Wtf this guy is delusional. Not giving credit might be a moral issue, and you were wrong, though you gave credit now. But after he did the whole false copyright stuff, he's the one who needs to apologize. Crazy guy. In fact, it is in FromSoft's interest to keep lore discussions going and maintaining interest in their IP. This guy and his shtick is hurting FromSoft and the community.

Honestly, Sir Gideon was obviously a villain. It wasn't even that subtle by the time we have to fight him.

This doesn't make sense that Marika wishes for us to struggle endlessly. She shattered the Elden Ring to set the game's events in motion. She's a martyr.

Amazing content, Subscribed after first vid
