I can't click on this and I refuse to type it out on mobile soooo, gonna assume there is no secret and it was just a cool art choice they rinsed and repeated. Or, "snake derp derp"

Link not working on mobile, lads

ssssneK😂

It is pretty cool how dumb the average ER player is

its not a spiral its a helise

​@@sebakisniesebakisnie6109no it's a double helix which is basically two spirals intertwined

@@MikeHunt-lz2hq intertwined like me and your mom last night AYOOOOOO

Exactly what I just wanted to type

He was the 5 fingers. Now he is only two

@@Anonymous_Whispershutcho stupid ahh up

​@@xxlazylamaxx8378Arigato, Gyro

haha also hair braids are three strands not two

@@whyarewestillhere7073 actually hair braids can be two strands and all the ones in the video look like they're only 2 strands so it would fit with the recurring imagery

@@kommiekoathanger1418 thats 3 strands

@@kommiekoathanger1418 just checked again and it's always 3. Also the "crown" part of the leyndell helmets at 0:47 is 3 strands aswell

What marika wishes to completely purge but seemingly can't

@@BigMoney_L honestly fair though, the hornsent were putting her entire people in jars and grafting them together

The only true God. Like the God of Israel.

Crucible = Evolution Spiral = DNA

It is in Metyr's tail. The spiral is like an antenna, to aid in communication with outer gods

what song is this?

​@@Rakshaelidk but check the berserk soundtrack

It's Behelit by Susumu Hirawasa

Thought I was the only one that noticed!!

JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!?

I don't know the reference but I immediately thought of Devil Kings on PlayStation 2.

​@Entropydemic it's a Gurren Lagan reference lol

JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM? I'M SIMON! I'M NOT MY BRO, I'M ME! SIMON THE DIGGER!!!

The game uses that analogy too actually

That's the first thing I said when I saw this. Might be symbolic of DNA somehow but I want to see if the dlc brings more to light

​@@userjb1yb5yq3t Thanks

My first thought too.

Wait till bro decides to read an item description for the first time and realizes that it's just the Crucible

Wait…so Miquella was in on the “Night of Black Knives”???

@@mrjooxmanallahhe very well could have been, considering his rivalry with the erdtree and his empyrean status

@@mrjooxmanallah I doubt he was, he has shown to be very empathetic towards others and he wouldn't like to harm his older brother Godwyn.

​@@ramoraidHe adored Godwyn as well, and after Godwyn was slain, Miquella wanted Godwyn to die a true death. This is the item description for the Golden Epitaph sword: A sword made to commemorate the death of Godwyn the Golden, first of the demigods to die. Infused with the humble prayer of a young boy; "O brother, lord brother, please die a true death.""

​@@ezachleewright2309Miquella had 2 plans for Godwyn, first was by trying to resurrect his soul by a ritual in Castle Sol. It's likely that after learning he couldn't get an eclipse to complete the ritual because Radahn was holding the stars, he opted to making the Golden Epitaph in hope of at least granting Godwyn the peace of true death

Breath taking.

Crying in the inside hearing that beauty of a melody

Man I love this song. Behelit for anyone wondering

This is the comment I was looking for 🤣🤣🤣

Holyshit...

@@pedro_oak_alexandre It's a common theory. The only other corpse-blade that looks like that is Radagon's, and we know the Eternal Cities committed "high treason" against the Greater Will, so it follows that perhaps their treason was killing a previous god.

​@@michaelhenry3234god of rot? God of death?

@@tyroplaysYT probably another Numen like Marika.

This along with the ideas of the crucible making primal life through double helix dna/magic of alchemy, a parallel to real life the devs might try and make

Its also the tree from berserk, the actual biggest inspiration

There’s a lot of plant mythology and botanical references. O_O

Facts, beat me too the berserk is the true ​biggest inspiration @@MrsSankta

It could also be Celtic in nature. Celtic are the culture this kind of symbology originates from, the Celtic knot. Same thing with Scandinavic folklore which used similar knotted designs in their written stones, which are literally called 'Rune(s)'. And if you look at the over all style and setting of the game it is extremely Celtic/pre-christian European. I feel like these are no coincidence, and I love it. These cultures are absolute gold.

Hah this is like spirals in Uzumaki

They also sometimes plays with the ideas of dual identity. An individuals dual personas that completely contradicts the other, yet they’re so opposed that they can be considered the same. E.G - like how it is implied there were no conflicts between Frenzied flame and the order of the Erdtree before. Back when there was no order, and when there was no frenzied flame. In fact, they were all one. Then something happened that split the two down the middle, leading to two forces with completely opposing ideals - creating Marika’s order and the Frenzied flame, even though they were once the same thing together. This duality could be said about a lot of things: the creation Godfrey completely contradicts Hoarah Loux actual morals, The Beast Clergyman is suffering identity disorder despite his other half being one of the greatest warriors of the lands between, Morgott and Mohg being twins also reinforces the fact that they each have opposing rules when it comes to Omenborn even though they’re both omen (this one in particular is definitely a GRRM thing lol) Which is also why I find it fun that you suggest the contrast Between Marika and the Dusk Queen…. Because I actually think they are the same person. Or atleast twins of some sorts, but their ideals differ too heavily to be indifferent to one another. Often it is those who you disagree with the most are the ones you have the most in common with. Refer back to the Golden Order and the Frenzied Flame

Ever notice that Elden Ring has a lot of rings in it?

@@zackprater2540 Nono, it has ALL the rings it. Hands down best game because of that.

@@Reni3r Spider intensifies

Not the same thing, that's meant to represent a lighting. It's much more chaotic and pointy than the average double helix.

Turtle Pope.

Reminds me of the crucible. All life there is connected, and through order Marika created the idea it was seperate or inferior but it is an illusion

right pretty cool that it has lore significance now

Dude, like, I don't know how to say this but this isn't some "missable detail". It's directly referenced multiple times, together with the crucble too, before we knew anything about the dlc. We knew the double helix represented the crucible long before anything new came out and none of it was theorizing, it was just facts from the game and the enemies that you fought. I have no idea why so many people here think this was an incredible revelation, just play the base game, maybe read one or two armor or sword descriptions.

@@anecro Bro instead of yapping could you IDK just reference the base game item description that proves your point?

Mf was so close even before the dlc came out

Welcome to the fromsoft theory hole were every detail is important because either the devs went a bit to hard into symbolism or they just like a design and the fans lose there minds because they are used to trying to suck as much lore as they can from every pixel

Deny deny deny! The proof is hair, you just have to look!

@user-nq7vw1fs1v it's a braid. You realize those exist in the real world right? They were a common hair style in the times they're trying to emulate.

@@emdeejay7432 and braids also have symbolic meaning in many other cultures one of them that inspired some of the stuff in elden ring norse

@@emdeejay7432 Did you know....shhh...come closer. It was a joke.
