It's basically a scam to lure you into an undead pyramid scheme

i thought she was chill because people said she was. i got a quest prompt from her and was like, cool, ok. but the way shes wording her sentence and the way shes saying it was kind of sussy. but elden ring people are weird, we have a blue witch doll that talks in a sexy old language so whatever, right? turns out that its D's knife, so i go tell fia, but she has nothing to say. later i go to the smithy and notice a new door opened. she peaced out after breaking the law of the round table. i hardly knew D but for a short time, but hes kinda chill. if i find wherever the fuck she went, i'll send her to the ferry of the dammed so she can molest the dead there, on her way to hell!

All it would be is a loop of hugging her in a video

Fia talked about it like. Its her job as a deathbed companion

Where do we find that out? I always wondered why she went to those random 2 fingers in the ground lol

@@Pikachu-qr4yb its literally in the name "Fingerslayer" blade

@@Pikachu-qr4ybthe reason why she wanted the fingerslayer blade is to ocmpletely cut ties with the golden order(aka killing the fingers assigned to her), we helped her along the way mainly when killing the baleful shadow.

@@Pikachu-qr4yb The weapon she wanted from the beginning, your whole quest originally, was to get the *Fingerslayer* Blade. The blade's description reads that it's able to bring harm "to the Greater Will and its vassals", A.K.A. the Two Fingers. Upon running into the Baleful Shadow at the end of the Ranni escort mission, she says to the Shadow Blaidd "Tell the Two Fingers, That Ranni the Witch cometh, *to rend thy flesh. With a fatal wound, ne'er to heal."* We can also deduce that she turned into a small doll version of herself to become more difficult to detect by her Two Fingers, causing her to leave her clothing behind in Renna's Rise, before taking the teleporter at the top of Renna's Rise, which is where we then find her, and why you later find her in her normal puppet-size form sitting next to her DEAD Two Fingers, without her Snow Witch outfit (because you have it).

But she can instatap you easily

@Ahmad Adnan That ain't really true. You swear loyalty to her, but you're never under her control, seeing as you can still chose to do other endings instead of hers even when joining her service, unlike the Frenzy Flame one. And if you don't join her and attack her instead, everything you do bounces off of her, one of the only instances in the game where you can't kill a character no matter what

@ahmadadnan4773you seems to have bad history with women cause im pretty sure you could just not do any of ranni quest without any future consequences

@@yeeywif you give her the poison, then talk with her three times, she kills you.

@ahmadadnan4773 She killed her own Two Fingers with her bare hands, and presumably got through the Lake of Rot and beyond to where you find her, on her own. She needed help with Shadow Blaidd, but she _was_ in a small doll form. Remember that the entire second phase of the Rennala fight *was not Rennala.* That was a projection of Rennala conjured by Ranni during the fight, which she cast all the way from her tower on the Three Sisters plateau. Shows a glimpse of Ranni's power.

And poor pedestrian infrastructure!

It was rather obvious really

The kingdom of Lands Between fell just like the USA will. This is a prophecy.

You would have know this if you read the lore

I don't think ranni is blaidd girl,it's more of a servants thing because why would Marika try to find a consort when there would be maliketh

Well they have both killer plants and zombies. So it really is pvz.

*incoherent mumbling and grumbling* Crazy Dave is burned into my greymatter, occupying the same space as the song from the ending of PvZ.

yea and becuase the game has plants that are alive

Hopefully

Bro think about it. You're the Elden Lord and Ranni is a God. You think she wouldn't pull some strings and bring back your bro Rogier for you? It's like that Erdtree Burial, bro, friggin' force ghosts and shit. No one's ever really gone. Like damn even Godwyn isn't even all dead. Worst case Rog' has to come back as a puppet, but it seems to work out okay for Sellen and I-Swear-I'm-Renna. Bro you and Big Hat Papa will be kickin' it in a pimped out Hold in no time. Alexander's making pizza and Goldmask brought Sm4sh. This is why only jerks choose Three Fingers. You can't chill with your bros when everything is on fire, bro.

@@lysander3262 That is a beautifully said outlook. I doubt that anyone’s reviving anyone. But crap man, anything is possible, I suppose in the other ending related to rogier, the duskborn ending, he can come back as someone who lives in death too

I only did it for a happy ending

It’s Calid, Australia* not Cleveland, i had to change my flight to Calid because i thought it was Cleveland but it was really dark souls Australia Calid.

4 arm box absolutely sent me

Cleveland's not too bad. Caelid is more like Los Angeles

She also literally kills herself, TWICE, and turns herself into a doll, ALSO TWICE, before finally accepting to marry you. Broad may really not be into you is all I'm saying.

@@ph0kused Caelid

Poo comes from the butt. Men have butts. Therefore, you do dungeater quest

If you hate poo, why do you always carry it with you?

@@XxSLaYerZzxX it's their curse. to always carry what they hate. like poo.

Yes but Ranni is a doll and dolls are weird murderers

I prefer dung eater because Ranni is a woman

I actually did that but after I got the ending

I thought she disappears from her tower at the end of the quest, when you put the ring on her

You can talk to her with the doll at the new grace that shows up in her room

@@thesaltypearl7163 THANK YOU

Yeah, a world where people don't see the divine with their own eyes, where they will be left with just questions and doubts. But also a world where the divine won't directly interfere with their lives, and isn't a prize for them to fight over. Mortals will be left with no guidance, but a chance to make their own decisions.

@@Waywardpaladin she basically just made Earth 2

Ranni was more or less a Sartre fan in the sense established a more existentialist system where people find their own meaning rather than it be administered by grand outside forces.

Ranni is basically Senator Armstrong. Get it..."Arm"strong... am so funni.

That or the Dark Moon outer god had her punk the Greater Will during their game of poker and then Ranni and the Tarnished create a new order and kingdom in space.

pretty sure it was a joke

Yeah, Blaidd is a shadow, and shadows are always dogs, like Marika's shadow.

@@YamiAi What was Serosh then?

@@leonslaw5722 He was called a beast. Looks like a lion.

@@leonslaw5722 no idea but only empyreans get shadows like blaidd and maliketh and Godfrey is although extremely strong just a regular guy

Also... Blaidd's head is actually his own. He's not wearing a mask.

Yeah the cursemark isn't even a part of Ranni's quest, it's just that doing the death questline has you working with Ranni and instead of giving you the statue as a random gift she gives it to you saying "this will take you to what you're looing for" it was really interesting hearing the difference between serving her because you have to compared to when you want to

isn’t that just the ultimate furry though, like Furry GX, Secret Rare Furry

The only real furry in The Lands Between is Dung Eater. Not only does he imitate an Omen (his armor is literally an Omen fursuit), but he tries to make that everyone is blessed with an Omen curse.

Deepest lore dive in the game tbh

Plus, while the shadow uses the same weapons and armor, it's blade has destined death imbued into it, whereas Balidd's normally has frost, further suggesting the two are entirely different people. Plus, once you complete Ranni's quest(the specific requirements are a bit unclear, ranging from picking up the Dark Moon Greatsword, to only needing you to walk through the barrier in Astel's boss arena that is unlocked by the Dark Moon ring)you can return to find Blaidd having defended Ranni's rise from Black Knife Assassins, but he's gone mad and attacks you, even if you never let him out of the Evergoal. If you speak with Iji after finding Blaidd in the Evergaol, he tells you that some Empyreans are given Shadows that are entirely unable to betray their master. But, in the case that an Empyrean resists the Two Fingers, their shadow will go mad, implying that the powerful shadow is meant to then kill the Empyrean to prevent any threat to the Greater Will from happening. But Blaidd, being the goodest boy that he is, is still able to hold himself together and know that he must protect and serve Ranni no matter what, he just tragically becomes unable to recognize you as an ally and attacks, thinking you are a threat to her. Ranni mentions that the assassins of the Two Fingers are the Baleful ShadowS, plural, meaning that they must just have a lab full of test tube furry babies to wake up and send out on missions when needed. Blaidd just happened to be given so early in Ranni's life that he developed a genuine bond with her, so when the brainwashing kicks in, he can resist it and not hunt her down, forcing them to send the backups.

@@Late0NightPC I'd like to find out what Melenia and Miquella's Shadows are like

He who started the puppet revolution, before leaving to find Malenia, blade of Miquella, with the deaths of Seluvis and Pidia… the legend himself.

I wonder if it was there before the latest update or Fromsoft put it there as a nod of appreciation.

@@4Roman204 let me solo her is actually a Cosplay of jawright a day 1 puppet . Except he added uchi and rivers . But yea fromsoft basically did it first

@@ephemeralnihilist plot twist: his backstory is being a doll created to kill malenia

E

Damn, for me it was the opposite. I defeated the valiant gargoyles and found the coffin that brought me to the deeproot depths

@@SirCrusher Me too, I didn't even know there was another way.

I did it for Blaidd, since he's such a good boi.

In version 1.0 the darkmoon greatsword is actually dogwater, but now that i've updated my game its my fav weapon

It's probably the best and most powerful "Moonlight Greatsword" in all the souls

It is somewhat hidden tho as it's up a column in an area with vikings who will be shooting at you. So I understand why a decent bit of people miss it.

“Actually canon and true” 😂

@@alexanderinoa7850 T'au Empire in 40K be like

It also is a proper questline. Default ending is just kill bosses in your path to end the game. Dungeater and Fia are harder to follow. Goldmask requires specific build (or respec) and doesn't feel like it is going to affect ending or.. anything.

I just really like the sword

Honestly I think most people pick it, as it’s portrayed as the most “correct” or at least the most “appealing” ending. A long/fleshed out questline, “happiest ending” (debatable), Moonlight sword (one of the best and most iconic weapons of the franchise), interesting/lovable side characters (Blaidd, Iji), locked/hidden areas (that may take longer to reach or impossible otherwise), and of course marriage. With as much effort that fromsoft put into Ranni’s questline, I really believe they intended it to be the canon one. I personally only did it for the sweet, sweet items though and could care less about Ranni herself.

>be me, Miyazaki >minding my own business >suddenly realise I'm in the process of creating a poison swamp >mfw

First two points are absolutely correct but what are the sources for the third point? We know Marika is Radagon (though they had differing plans apparently), but from what we know I thought that Marika seemed distraught over Godwyn's death?

Man, the second point essentially is just bloodborne. But you start as a god that hunts other bigger gods.

The first two points are correct but where did you come up with the third point

Are you high on Elden Lean ? That third point is complete madness 🤣

It is stated that the Black Knife Assassins had close ties to Marika, and hailed from the same land of the Numen. Though it is never explicitly stated that she was involved with the death of Godwyn, it could be the case. Marika was certainly pulling a lot of strings and directing events behind the scenes in many aspects, but I don’t know about that one.

When you reach that place "This is my kingdom come" starts playing on loop.

Well, you can turn him into a doll. And it is heavily implied that Selvius… has… his way with them soooooooooooo whats stopping you?

there are two deer bosses in that area!

I mean, the English voice lines are the OG, right? Hard to know which parts were written originally in Japanese vs English (since GRRM helped writing the script). So for all we know the Japanese subs might be wrong / more ambiguous.
