WHO is Godwyn the Golden in Elden Ring?  

"Who is Godwyn the Golden?" The victim, he didn't even do anything. He just found out

Saddest part is that he was just a good guy and we never got chance to met him nor speak to him.

Literally the only perfect kid Marika had. All others were afflicted

I love the idea of Godwyn being absorbed into the world and literally corrupting the entire earth

Godwyn is literal baldr, loved by almost everyone

If Godwyn was loved by many, I wonder why a portrait of him never existed in any of the halls or castles? It would be wonderful if we could see him in his prime.

If godwyn had lived he wouldve been Elden Lord and the tree would have a lot of vomit when he realised why marika and radagon were never in the same room

It would be pretty cool if we could actually fully kill his corpse after freeing the rune of death and getting it

He needs to be the next dlc where we go into the realm of death itself via his body post fia quest

The way you break these down is so addicting lol I love these lore videos 🔥🫶🏽

Don't forget he was the perfect demigod. Loved everyone, loved by everyone. One of the rare good guys and all the shit we see is because of ranni the bish.

I stg when fromsoft does Eldritch type writing in their games, I’m always a sucker for it. I find Godwyn so fascinating for that reason

Godwyn is giving Rhaegar vibes. Wise, just and a great fighter who died too soon. He even looks like him. Pretty, young dude with long, luscious locks.

Two of the scariest motherfuckers who we might fight in the DLC’s? Godwyn the fucking merman and Miquella 25yr old child looking warrior. And for the love of Godfrey, please don’t let it be a Duo boss fight.

Godwyn is the weirdest character for me. He's got it all, unsettling appearance, the PLAGUE emanating from him, his super weird death (dead only in soul), people fighting for/over him. Tbh he might be my favorite character in all the soulsborne games

Godwyn is the reason i didn't simp for Ranni (Blaidd Simp for life). She also practically caused the Shattering too, by breaking Marika's faith in the Golden Order. (If I remember correctly, Godwyn's death is why she broke the Elden Ring)

Unfortunate that the 3 most chill demigods ended up getting the worst fates In elden ring godwyn, radahn, and miquella

I truly hope we get to learn more about Godwyn and Miquella in the DLC

Godwyn's last words: "What are you doing stepsis ?"

R.I.P Godwyn The Goat

He’s based on Gwyn. He created the sun, created golden lightning and befriended a dragon.

I fxcking hate how ranni is the only one u get to have a relationship with like all the other girls u might fall for or even have the chance to be with have horrible fates

Lmao I looked at the thumbnail wrong for a second there

The music to this video TRIGGERED me lol... started getting cold beaded sweat on my head

Whats up with souls game having kinda problem with their firstborn prince? Like they are either dead(cursed) or banished😅

this story reminds of ragnarok, where godwyn’s (baldur) demise became the catalyst for the Shattering (Ragnarok). Other parallel characters are Ranni (Loki), Radahn (Thor), Rykard (Jormungandr), and Radagon (Odin)

The last chad of the Golden Order. He could have been 3rd Elden Lord by reputation alone, and considering Ranni was the only Empyrean the Two Fingers could claim for the Greater Will (cos the other 2 is cursed). There is a very high possibility Marika had a hand in the plot of the Night of Black Knives, because the success of that plot would ensure the success of her own plot to shatter the Golden Order

I was always a bit confused by the lore of elden ring specifically the night of black knives I never understood why ranni wanted to die so bad but after a few videos like this my basic understanding is now that she basically thought no one had any real free will and that by killing herself she could escape the greater will and be free

Me who did the frenzied flame ending in my first playthrough: "do i look like i care?"

And people still consider Ranni as the good guy.

Baldr essentially

i love this short story of lore. What i don't understand is why Rani killed herself at the same time

In short godwin was caught lacking

Meanwhile we feed the beast clergymen gurranq with the death roots made by godwyns decaying corpse and he just goes “Mmm! Is this organic!?” Elden ring rules 😂

Really hoping for a second DLC about Godwyn and the Nox

We better get to meet him man

All I know is whenever they make a show or anime on this it’s gonna be the most amazing peace show ever I hope if they do make one it’s animated using the same Type Of animations they use in cutscenes

So she killed the guy to escape godhood, only to become god in her ending. Got it

it makes sense that godwyn was strong enough to completely stop all the others plans and was probably proposed to ranni strongest demi god and candidate to succeed marika and godfrey but ranni probably killed him as she couldnt defy the greater will if godwyn and fortisax pulled up neither could radahn or the cursed siblings and it would be hard for them as they all probably loved or respected godwyn

Ngl i know its said that godwyn was jumped but this man befriends one of the most powerful ancient dragons in his PRIME and maybe before radahn was know for it was the mightiest srtongest of them all so imo godwyn had to also kill himself like ranni it was said in lore godwyn found out the darkside of the golden order so yea plus he shoudl be strong enough to kill maybe at least 50 black knives when jumped maybe 10 if rannis w them

Love this ❤😊

Would have loved to see him in the DLC

My brother have this theory about Rykard beeing the real Godwyn's killer, since Ranni forged the second dagger to her Two Fingers and not to Godwyn speciafically. Rykard help her to get the Rune of Death from Maliketh and would've take this chance to hit the Golden Order and Marika where hurt the most. But is just theory. The fact is that Ranni WAS the architect of the plan, if she knew that Godwyn was or not the target remains unknown. Gess we never know. FromSoft likes to give blank spaces to cause caos among the community hahaha love the games.❤

Im still mad we didn't get to fight him in the dlc

I find it funny that the only child of Marica that doesn't follow the naming conventions ( Ms: Mohg, Morgot, Melania (and all her daughters), Miquella, Melenna, Messmer; Rs, Ranni, Rykard, Rahdon; Gs, Godwyn not counting Godrick because he is the grandson) is the only one not afflicted with anything and considering Godrick's thing with graphing I'm thinking Godwyn wasn't part of the golden order and was just an add on to make the golden order look more appealing. Kind of in the same vein it makes me wonder why Merica snapped? Godwyn wasn't an Empyrion for godhood, wasn't the oldest child, he did help end the war with the dragons (but nothing else besides having Godrick). Like Godwyn wasn't that important in the grand scheme of things, but "oh no Godwyn died! Well, better destroy the thing I built for countless years out of spite!"

interesting parallels to Baldr in norse mythology

I don’t think Ranni is his stepsister, but rather half-sister…

Wasn’t it more for escaping the golden order for ranni? She still plenty interested in becoming the god of the new order as we see from her ending 😂

Why is his mostly buried body also in stormveil castle basement?

GODWYN REMINDS ME OF BALDUR OF THE NORSE MITHOLOGY

Godwyn was the only child of marika that was born normal he had no detects

Wow knowing ranni did that I will never side with her

Marika: die for me Godwyne: aight bet………Naw fuc tha-

Honestly as much as I love consort radahn I feel like prime Godwyn should’ve been the final boss. It just makes more sense seeing as he’s the only demigod we haven’t interacted with in some capacity

Royalties killing each others

Nothing in the game indicates she knew about the plan of Godwyn being chosen to die FIRST by the black knifes

I want a elden ring prequel tbh

Now im really curious what's godwyn look like before he died and how powerful he is.

Godwyn Lord of Death

I like to think it’s not the erd trees roots but it’s the king lost great tree

sorry step bro

He pulled off Sephiroth's plot from Advent Children.

The night of black knives? 😂😂😂😂

Yeah if the game focused a lot more on him as a character, I'm pretty sure the Ranni ending to the game would be a whole lot less favored by tbe community. Ranni selected one of the few people in The Lands Between that was actually decent and murdered their soul. She would actually deserve Selvis' puppet potion tbh, which I can't say about many other individuals

Was hoping his body would be a boss in the dlc

What if Godwyn was only liked by people because Miquella can make people like who ever he wants, and considering that Miquella tried to resurrect Godwyn, it could be possible that he just made people see him as the good guy. Why would Ranni hate the golden order or gods in general if they were not the bad guys?

Godwyn is the boss we should have gotten in the DLC, instead the DLC completely RUINED the base game with a stupid fan service boss.

I thought they(father duo godwyn/godfrey) frontisax the mighties dragon and didn't say victorious but after the fight godwyn befriended him.

Half sister, they have the same mom/dad and a different mom and dad

Technically not step siblings considering Radahgon and Marika were one in the same

Just curious how a demigod with the power and skill to battle, defeat, and kill enormous dragons, was able to be killed and carved up by seven assassins, even with god killing weapons...

He didnt befriended fortissax he was in love qith fortissax as in Fia

Godwyn is just Jesus

Marika was not the founder of the golden order she is creator of the erdtree

Yet no one here is talking about how ranni brutally killed him

Half sister not step sister

Thought he was a blacksmith or sumn

If i can wish of the next dlc, i wish it has somthing to do with him.

and some people think Ranni is the good guy.

Any pescaterians?

Probably gonna end up fighting godwyn prince of death or something in the dlc

All because of Ranni

As cool as the lore for this game is, it would automatically be better if there weren't 4 characters named Godrick, Godwyn, Godfrey, and Godefroy

Who is godwyn the golden . . . DEAD

Fromsoft lore best lore

Was Godwyn not an empyean?

godwyn reencarnate on torrent

Disappointed the DLC didn't have anything about Godwyn

weirdly enough, why is his leg is mermaid like and his head is shaped like a clam?

*half sister

People here don’t understand who Godwyn is, they think he is perfect when is reality odds are, he’s like radagon, a golden order fundamentalist, who like marika, would probably kill an omen on sight

Isnt ranni a half sister?

But why does he look like an alien squid?

Who is the Elden beast?

I hate ranni

Ah yes.. logical

I think you mean who *was* 😂

Step sister or half sister

Do not trust Ranni.

Q: Who is Godwyn. A: He is DLC boss.
