The Secrets of Godrick | ELDEN RING LORE ft. Eredin 

He also calls himself golden

@@alfred0621 I think it was a title that he lost so he became Godrick the Grafted.

@@PyrrhusBrin my understanding was that that was more a derogatory name people gave him

@@bobdylanlovr69 Exactly.. Even Morgott called him Godrick the Golden

A truly sad and broken old man

Morgott is also Godrick's, like, great great uncle, as he is the direct son of Godfrey. So it makes sense that he'd respect at least whatever shred of the Golden Lineage there is left. Moreover, Morgott has all the more reason to respect, or at least recognize, Godrick's lineage as they were both spurned from their birthright. Morgott was the true lord of Leyndell, and a direct son to the Golden Lineage, but he was rejected due to being born as an Omen. So the two have a lot in common, as the rest of the demigods probably both see them as monstrosities.. it's just that Morgott was a far greater threat, and was thus left alone by everyone

@@jooot_6850 it's also worth noting that he blocks the path a Tarnished must take to reach Godrick, perhaps out of that same familial connection and the understanding of Godrick's lacking strength

@@walesjedi9217 so basically Morgott is a disrespected babysitter🤔

She went back and left her hood there with her men. That's why she's not wearing it for the rest of the playthrough.

@@DarthAssViolater except she still has her hood when she gets to the roundtable.

@@tanoshichannel2012 Pretty sure you only find the hood after her sidequest is completed with the blacksmith and she becomes a spirit tuner, at which point she has taken off the hood. Before that you find an item called the "chrysalids memento" where you later find the hood. Unless you go straight to Liurnia and then that part of the quest is skipped.

Great point

That's a good point. I had taken the piling of corpses here as Godrick's doing. The caskets were heavy, and hewn from stone - it would not only take tremendous manpower to carry them all here, but great resources to craft them too. It's possible that both are true, and that perhaps Godrick was using this as a sort of remote larder for those he may want to graft later. On the note of the caskets being so heavy, I also had the thought that they were made in such a way so that if tarnished were buried within them, they would not be strong enough to lift the lids off and escape should they awaken from death.

It felt like an episode of JoJo

Bah Gawdfrey

Dude was on some E Honda shit

All he needed was to do the hulk hogan ear thing after he power bombs you

Oh mah god hes got a steel chair!!!! Somebody stop the dam match!!!

Yeah my guess was the previous leader of Limgrave ruled the land from Castle Mourn before Stormveil was built.

It’s also worth noting that Morgott still stood between you and Godrick, in the first encounter with Margit. It’s probably where he usually would appear, but just maybe, he could even be trying to protect what’s left of his family. That, or he is so used to winning there, it’s just his thing, I guess. Great video!

@@KindredMixedBlade he doesen't protect him because he loves him. He protects him because godric is the weakest of the demigods and tarnished who want to beacome elden lords will go for godric first.

@@ogi155 hahaha true Godrick is the Fredo of the Demi gods and Morgott could see that he was easy pickings.

@@rossl5908 Morgott even threatens us from his "death." He knows that we're gonna kill Godrick. That's why he lets us know that the hands of the Fell Omen (Night's Cavalry) will be hunting us down ever still

look at Zullie the Witch’s video (you’ll love all of them honestly), she is huge in the Souls community and does a ton like this and even showed him with his cape taken off and it is even crazier.

Totally. Would love a farum azula video

@@YatharthRai agreed

Is feeding Torrent not enough for you?

you can pet the nightriders horse...

Woah I’ll have to check that out

@@Ziostorm Found the exact quote. "The mausoleum prowls. Cradling the soulless demigod. O Marika, Queen Eternal. He is your unwanted Child." It's possible that this ISN'T referring to Godwyn, and the "He" is merely referencing the mausoleum, and the "cradling the soulless demigod" is just a hint that you can collect boss souls from the mausoleums, but that would seem to be a very akward way of conveying that if that was the intent. I suppose it's also possible that the "soulless demigod" is someone other than Godwyn, but I have no idea who else could fit that description

@@socialjihad5724 yea I don’t think that’s Godwyn. Still very interesting as that implies the corpses in the walking mausoleums are lesser demigods

@@Ziostorm Yes, the corpses in the mosoleums are indeed other dead Demigods born of Marika.

@@Ziostorm I'm not sure that explanation makes sense given this dialogue for a couple reasons. First, the description is the "soulless demigod", not just "dead"... the circumstances which led to Godwyn's soulless state were very unique, resulting in the bodiless Ranni. Why would this have been done with a bunch of other demigods as well? Where are all the bodiless demigods? Second, "he is your unwanted Child" is a very specific description to apply to some random, unnamed demigod in a mausoleum that is one of many, without a single other piece of dialogue or item description further developing this. Lastly, I'm not sure it's a good idea to assume that there ARE a bunch of other unnamed demigods that were killed in the night of the black knives. As far I know, this idea stems from the implication of Godwyn being described as first to die, but keep in mind, this is implication through a translated text, and the "first" still works if it's framed in the context of time: before Godwyn was killed, no demigod had ever died. More importantly though, there doesn't seem to be a single piece of dialogue or item description actually referencing a single other demigod, named or unnamed, that either died or even existed...we get descriptions of mercenaries from some far off lands, but literal demigods leave no trace of their presence? I dunno, just not sure I can buy that, but maybe I'm missing something

There was definitely a lot more that we could’ve gone into, but wanted to keep it focused on Godrick,

Vs The SigmAlpha Radahn

@@Micolashcage1 Radhan my beloved

Yo g I'm vaati that RU-vidr who does the vids on these sorts of games wanna PayPal me some bucks

Hmm good assumption. Except in the case of Melina, she's, let's call her a spiritual being. She knows details like these for a different reason. However, the very FIRST person you talk to... that's a different story. That person also calls you maidenless, knows where to find dead maidens, and has a motive for drawing in tarnished... something Melina doesn't really have. If she really had to weasel in with some tarnished, all she'd have to do is lie and say she was their maiden. Given what this other person does, and what they later do in game, it would not be unreasonable to suspect them of wanton murder, simply to further their own goals. This was my 2nd choice for the cause of the dead maidens anyways; with the most likely cause simply being the various Gods vying for power, and the agents of said gods. All of these powers want tarnished out of the way, so they can manipulate demigods to use as puppets. Tarnished are trying to kill demigods, to install themselves as Elden Lord, or as a consort to a demigod; so they need to be eliminated (godrick's hunts) or prevented from being a threat (maidenless). So it's likely just back story lore. But if it is a character in game killing maidens, then I think the most evidence points to person I described

@@ricardodarcangelo2437 hey you’re right! I completely forgot about that guy!

Yes, she is still sentient though and has a reason to be where she is.

Fantastic job! Vaati better hurry lol

Morgott's also one of the relatives of Godfrey. And in a similar way to Godrick, Morgott was spurned by the other demigods as a monstrosity; however, he was a "monstrosity" at birth, being born an Omen while Godrick chose to graft himself into one

Hmmm that’s interesting

go to different areas and kill some hard enemies

also, I think that painting from earlier was stormveil when the stormhawk king was king. there was no castle and only the storm during his reign.
