Why Is Rykard a SNAKE?  

THE VERY GODS

AS FAMILYYYY

TOGETHAAAA!

…….very well

TOGETHAAAAAA

That's not tragic. He got what he wanted. He was with a God that devours other gods. His wife is eating him to bring him back.

@@REAPER3fitty it is tragic when the serpent ate him and they fused he also got the will and goal of the serpent what was not his goals losing all his senses of justice all of the men who once stood by him left him only his wife and few stood by him the rest left because of how greedy he became when he fused with the snake now that he got killed him wife is trying to bring him back to the world feeding on his corpse only thing we should actually blame is the serpent here well that’s my opinion not sure if it’s right tho because I only watch play throughs and watch a little bit of the lore have not played the game

@@monicawilliams3617 you’re right the serpent does influence Rykard now that they are one. Hard to say if he really even is Rykard anymore

i killed the wife

The wife putting him in her mouth? Must of been his birthday...

Who’s the first? I’m curious

​@@lexi9973 probably Miquella

​@@itz_executor_8637and godwyn

Godwin and miquella

I don't think they are Saint either. After knowing Griffith from Berserk, it is hard to trust them​@@xxxVideosaregoated

wait really?!! that's so cool! yet another piece of the puzzle that I didn't know about :)))

And they were scared as shit because they thought Maliketh might find out

​@@thecommentguy9380 Ranni actually trusted Rykard could defeat maliketh, with the help of the blasphemous claw but still pretty cool

​@@bacula8424 She didn't. The Blasphemous Claw states it was a last resort weapon that wpuld just give Rykard a fighting chance. Without it, he would lose cleanly.

@@OGXenos I mean nobody has a chance at defeating maliketh without any advantage period. And even with an advantage you'll still have to be a very good fighter.

AS FAMILEEE

@@Hilpis we shall devour the very dogs

Very well...

​@@Gnome-kc7prnow we can devour gods TOGETHAAA

Unfortunately for Rykard, the middle ground was NOT likely to sell the narrative of this story.

The two became one being. It's not like Rykard didn't know what he was getting into. All of volcano manor, even the ghost begging you to kill his master are all in his service. Much like Godrick, Rykard uses his failed attackers to get stronger. He may be slumbering most of the time, letting his other half devour recusants, but has no problem doing it himself. The first words he says when he wakes up is "Very well..." as in, "Guess I need to take care of this myself."

​@@Mcboogler also he was able to see the desires of Eiglay as the serpent wanted to devour the world as well. Which is kinda sad because Rykard went from blasphemous ambition to generic imo

Rykard keeps his sword in the beak of the snake maybe to controll it somehow

I really like this! but I always thought rykard had a lot of control as after we defeat the serpent as rykard shows up in phase II with the original head flopping around.

@@G.M23 My theory is that it's all Eiglay using Rykards mind/speech. Hence why it calls itself "The Serpent King." Also Rykards own former knight tells you it's no longer Rykard otherwise he simply wouldn't have devoured his own champions and seek to devour the entire world. Either that or Rykards intellect fused with Eiglays. Either way there is no more Rykard as he once was. Even if some of Rykards consciousness remains it's tainted by that of the serpent.

Wish they did it like Souls a little more it felt so much more missable in this game

I mean, the writer of "Song of Ice and Fire" helped writing the story. I believe up until before the game starts. When the game starts and you wake up as the Tarnished, that's when the developers took over the entire story.

that's the best part tbh. there are a lot of people who don't care at all about the story and because it's not in your face, they can enjoy the game people who care about the story can go look for it themselves

​@@purplefloyd1513 I think there was just a lot MORE going on in Elden Ring than in the Souls games, but they tried to use the same degree of drip feed story telling. It's not hard to wrap your head around the general story of DS1, for example. Even with minimal details provided the basic story is simple enough to follow. In Elden Ring things are so complicated that the story telling approach doesn't work as well. When someone tells you something you end up not having enough of an understanding to contextualize what they are telling you. As a result you don't have a good way to remember or filter important details to build a narrative. For example Melina tells you early in the game that her mother was imprisoned in the Erd Tree. I barely knew what the Erd Tree was at that point, let alone the fact that it was Marika who was imprisoned there, so that fact just passed me by as meaningless gibberish on my first playthrough. There's so much awesome lore in Elden Ring.... I just wish they had given the average person a fighting chance in figuring some of it out themselves.

@@scottbeale1825 100% agree, there should have been an option to pursue a more story based side of things the lore sounds so fantastically cool, I just dont want to get a youtube degree to understand it

Killing countless innocent people, yess king slay

@@averagemordhauplayer4821 innocent is a debatable term in the lands between

@@averagemordhauplayer4821I mean nobody really died so

​@@odin8297 he tortures the albunircs in horrible ways

@@JavarriaAbbas Albanaurics are treated bad everywhere

I was able to

Nah the blasphemous blade is the sword he uses, she gives him the blasphemous claw

Villains Are Way Better Than Heroes :)

Ahh dude, I had fever dream of Rya emerging from the waters as the great serpent and chomp the Elden beast's neck.

I would argue that Lord of Madness probably counts as Blasphemy.

Now we can devour the GODS TOGETHAAAA

He learn from Radagon Mistake also he was the person who Tutoring Miquella about Haligtree.

Fun fact George R R Martin Take his Name from Rykard Karstark his own novel Character but have Robb Stark behavior.

Because he see the true golden order. that also the main reason he agree about Tutoring Miquella about Haligtree

​@@darellmawitjere I agree with this. He saw what the Golden Order had become and realized that they didn't even follow their own beliefs.

@@UniverseIs... yup. back in the day he kinda take reference of Judge Frollo with Combination of Rob stark Charisma.

He would be a strong holy/arcane user

I don't think amazon delivers to his location and there's bad internet connection as well. Truly a hellish place.

​@@makenaiyomi1083 Bezos will make sure people deliver there

Free heating.

*checks gas bill* Sign me tf up

​@@Karak-_- your comment made me laugh out loud😂

That was what I was thinking as well. Rykard took the fall so that the Golden Order wouldn't go after Ranni. Caria manor was under threat from the Cuckoos already, and her mother was indisposed, so she was not in a good position to deal with real conflict. Whereas Rykard very much was prepared, since the battle of Mt. Gelmir is explicitly called the worst battle of the Shattering. It is called this even when Caelid was rot bombed and Radahn was turned into a rabid beast. The Battle of Mt. Gelmir was so bad in fact that it caused the yellow flame of madness to spring spontaneously from even the Golden Order warriors.

What? No

big immortal snake, thats about it sadly

Wait for DLC or elden ring 2 to come out in the next 10 years

​@@CanaanitebabyeaterJust a little over a year later:

@@loungeduck6583 let's see if my Elden Ring 2 prediction comes true

@@Canaanitebabyeater they have to make more? i assume its the next trio game set from them, nothing else possible to cook up rn

I know it's a joke but her clothes say that her dancing was not sensual.

*TOGETHA*

Stupidest comment award

Ranni didn't 'task' him with that, it was just a last measure so that if Maliketh came to kill Rykard, he could defend himself She cared about her brother before he turned into a sped snake

Prolly kind and dignified, with heavy use of Faith and Arcane, maybe Dex
