Underrated creator spotted! Great vid.

I think like you said, Tarsier's interpretation of the character's like the teacher or chef or guests, etc, etc is sort of mirroring how children may view people in positions of power (in an exaggerated and twisted interpretation of course), the teacher in particular having the long neck is I think just a testament to how as kids we are often afraid of that one teacher we feel is always watching our every move. I also really love the lady and find her fascinating for many reasons but I could ramble forever about that so yeah... I loved the video, hope you get some recognition :D

Who else is hyped for LN3?? I hope that Supermassive Games is able to carry the torch adequately and not just rely on spooky horror tropes. Some things I wish I talked about more: 1. Mono's compulsion to enter the TVs. I wish I elaborated more that I interpret this as Mono being drawn to adulthood. 2. The dinner guests from LN1, I didn't really talk about them but should have made it clear that I think they represent the people who "consume" others, be that through entertainment, greed, or plain 'ol sadism. 3. The gnomes. I think the gnomes represent kids who are abused and their trauma severely debilitates them, preventing them from "growing up." My video isn't about trauma, so I didn't include it, but maybe I should have at least mentioned it.

Thanks for covering this game, You are a man of taste. Subscribed

I'm really keen on the idea that sorceries and faith are attempting to understand the same thing. I like the idea that all these methods of inquiry are hitting roadblocks because the greater will is gone. Disappeared in some way from existence and the lack of an answer back is an answer. The bits of space they find is where the greater will should be. The elden beast is the last known direct intervention of the greater will if that itself wasn't called down by metyr.

miquella used one freaking corpse to resurrect radahn, marika used the entire hornsent civilization to create the golden order. talk about an under achiever. you are missing the fact that marika was able to summon a golden tree with her own power. at the gate of divinity she used all the bodies that were turned into stone to create the elden ring. you can see in the trailer the corpses were still bloody, she used the entire hornsent race as her vessel and reshaped it into the tree and her children

The storm stomp is reference to the game Blood (1997) which is no small part of what inspired Bloodborne, being a game the devs had played when younger: The very last level features cultist enemies that transform and do the same animations as Godfrey into "Beasts" that are beastmen who's big feature is an AOE stomp. A mutual cut content feature between Bloodborne and Blood is a "beast hood" meter that would transform you into the half beast when filled. There's dozens of other references that From sprinkled around their games.

What is the Golden Crucible?

But Godfry doesn't have any horns, Radahn still has some horns from Mohgs body, so wouldn't Godfry have hornsent horns?

I have a theory about why Romina has 5 seeds on her chest. I think the 5 seeds represent 5 people: Millicent and her 4 sisters. Reasons: 1. She wanted the buds to spread and grow again. 2. Millicent doesn't know why she is related or drawn to Mellania. Just that she could be a sister or off shoot. 3. Sage Gowry is a Kindred of Rot, and his whole goal was to help Millicent grow and blossom as a Scarlet Valkyrie. It could all be coincidental, however it really seems like there is no other reason to place 5 seeds on her chest.

Check out the Radagon Icon Talisman. The flowers on it look like the unique white flowers.

Loved the lord theories. Thx.

To expand the idea Romina is a shaman, you are likely aware of the theory that Marika was a successful jar saint created by the Hornsent. Given the Hornsent refers to these beings as saints. Romina may have these title as she was another, less powerful success. If the Hornsent revered them as saints, then they would have given them positions within the Hornsent religion. While Marika would betray the Hornsent for her own purposes, Romina accepted her role in Hornsent society. Then when Mesmer invaded, he was likely under orders to spare all Shaman who survived, so the soldiers left her alone after destroying her culture. In her despair she accepted the Scarlet Rot and used the Shaman's ability to graft to merge herself with the insect and flower aspects of the Rot into her and become a maternal demigoddess for the Children of the Rot. She had lost one congregation and replaced it with another.

She got me full on scaroused

Romina is one of my favorite bosses in the DLC, such a fun moveset to combat

The butterfly attack and dialogue are likely mean to be Romina's interpretation of spirit calling and use of the Rauh Spritestone knowledge. She calls on the spirits to inhabit the butterflies help power her attack and then they explode similarly to the Spritestones. The knowledge of spirits and souls is the thread that links all of the DLC lore. The church of the bud and the hornsent seemed to have worked together very closely, in Romina's boss room their is a hornsent column with a bud on top and in Enir-Illim you can find stone tablets depicting what looks like an Aeonian tree. Throughout Enir-illim there are clues that this two groups worked together to achieve something that was once practiced long ago but is lost today, something like the growing of Aeonian trees. I speculate this simply because the Ancient dynasty Obelisk and stone tablets in enir-illim depict Aeonian trees and the huge Aeonian tree in caelid looks to similar to both depictions. My fringe lore theory is that Marika was likely part of the church of the bud and rose through the ranks eventually stole some buds, with the use of her blood and holy magic, she grew both the Erdtree and Scadutree. This act allowed her to create a cult and organization capable of fighting the hornsent.

I cannot honestly say that I would not smoke upon Romina's sacred bud

I love the idea of rot thriving in the aftermath of fire. In Calid the Red Mane knights use fire to fight the giant birds and dogs. I would love it if the desolation brought on by that fire was somehow what was feeding the rot or making it that much stronger

Children of the tower could be referring to her being older then the current hornsent. Butterflies take wing was probably what she would say during her stage transition.

Oh, maybe Godfreys body was a loyal crucible warrior, but the soul belongs to a "betrayer" alongside Marika.

TBH, I think enemies respawning after coveting Destined Death is simply because of game mechanics because that's how the game is in the same way bosses and special enemies don't respawn. Bloodborne and Sekiro follow different universe rules yet enemies also respawn. Also, people would absolutely just murder every basic enemy in the game with Destined Death if the respawn mechanic was lore based as that would just permanently delete all enemies. Outside of that, I do find the conversation around death in particular interesting. Destined Death is pretty much TRUE death from what I gathered from the game and can not only kill the body, but also the soul so that neither are reborn. In general, fire in the Elden Ring universe seem to be particularly dangerous to life as a concept (specifically concept and not just literal because yeah, fire hurts most living things lol) and/or connected to death. Destined Death - Grants true death. Frenzied Flame - Also has the power to just completely kill someone and is stated to be able to kill ALL life including spirits. Blackflame - Has the ability to kill demi-gods and is pretty much Destined Death but neutered in lore. Ghostflame - Was used to burn the dead specifically and is directly tied to the Outer God of Death. Taker's Flame (Basically the explosive fire Rykard uses) - Straight up steals life (but I guess you could debate whether that's how the flame works and if it even is a unique flame) Sleep/Slumber Flame - It appears exclusively on the Torch of St. Trina and doesn't seem to deal with death. That said, sleep in it's purest form can basically kill you and the torch would be burning that I suppose. Death Blight Flame - A Flame that causes Death Blight. Omen Flame - A Flame that can summon specifically vengeful spirits of those who were cursed. Bloodflame - Flame that comes from the Formless Mother. Unclear how this connects to death, but since Bloodflame comes from an Outer God directly, it's safe to assume it probably has the ability to kill at least demi-gods. You can also argue that the flame directly deals with taking life (Formless Mother's Blood) and converting into fire. Mohgwyn's Spear also directly steals life from us and gives it to Mohg when he does the ritual. Giant's Flame/Flame of Ruin - A direct threat to the Golden Order and could burn the Erdtree, the thing responsible for giving "abundance" to the Lands Between before everything went sour. Considering the Erdtree is this massive thing that can grant life and literally absorb the dead through it's roots while allowing souls a proper burial, I'd say being able to burn said thing is enough to consider it dangerous to the concept of life. This power is also inherited from an Outer God on top of that. Messmerflame - Also used to burn people and cleanse people. This flame also has the power to burn the Scadutree and would likely be able to burn the Erdtree. Golden Flame - Elden Beast straight up uses gold colored flames. Placidusax when channeling "Placidusax's Ruin" also start off with golden flames before it is concentrated into a beam. This beam is obviously associated with beings of high power with close ties to the Greater Will. Considering it's being spewed by the first Elden Lord and the Greater Will's representative, I imagine it likely has the power to kill people for real (Ulcerated Tree Spirits also spew gold fire and they are directly physically related to the Erdtree). Not to mention, pure Holy damage specifically kills those who live in death in one go. Messmerflame - New from the DLC!! Deep red flame with black serpentine coils within it. Does high fire damage, and has the unique property (in lore anyways) of seemingly never extinguishing/having a life of its own. You can even find embers of it still crawling around on the ground. Dragonfire (+ Glintstone Fire and Bayle's "Flame Lightning") - It is admittedly debatable whether or not you could consider Dragonfire as anything more than just regular fire and Glintstone Fire is simply what happens when Dragons consume WAY too many sorcerers. That said, considering Placi can channel and concentrate his flame into a Golden explosive beam, it makes me believe it might actually involve dragons (at the very least Ancient Dragons and Elder Drakes) using magic for or with their fire. I know you could argue that the fact that since Dragonfire can be affected by outside sources to create altered fire (or even become breath attacks), it must mean it's biological, but we can also see that Lightning can ALSO be affected (Death Blight Lightning, Ice Lightning, and Bayle's Flame Lightning) despite them literally summoning it as magic attacks. As for the connection to death, there's not much, but it is notable that people specifically went to Agheel in hopes of being burn to death to end their suffering and Bayle had the power to grievously wound Placi who was Elden Lord, so I imagine Dragonfire must me potent. Rot Flame - Like with the Glintstone Fire, this is just a case of an outside element (Rot) effecting the Flame of another (Ulcerated Tree Spirit). I might be missing a flame or two, but yeah, so many of the flames relate to Life or Death as a concept.

I like the art recording whilst you explain the lore, very enjoyable to watch.

The bug rotussy would be insane.

you have nice voice hope you make it big 1 day

Saint Romina: 🌸♦️

I seriously do not like this enemy design at all I think it looks really really not good lol... Like honestly she got the worst of all of the different possibilities, regarding all of the different kinds of ways in which her strange mutations could have possibly manifested it's as.

There was one massive discovery on reddit I believe you should take into account; The same figure with a flat top depicted in the Rauh Ruins can be found as a much smaller statue in Farum Azula, carrying a child, as part of the family of the " King" depicted. I don't think it's precisely Romina; the Pests are intelligent enough to recognise there has been a history before them. This was likely her and Malenia's predecessor.

i think the shaman connection has some real credence. as the hornsentwere trying to create "saints" out of the shamans. i always did wonder what kind of saint this would be and i guess the romina kind is what they wanted. but why exactly is the question

She wasnt "allowed" to survive. Look at the trailer again - shes been approached by soldiers. I figure this is right before she transforms, and kills them

… thought she was just another random sexy woman boss you fight = Exactly like Malenia.

The catacombs were likely to have originally been deathbird structures and are locations dealing specifically with death so most of them should be fairly old

she hot

I lost like 4 times to Romina for no other reason than her soundtrack is so fucking good it moves me to TEARS. It sounds like her grief and sadness made tangible. I started crying and got tears on my glasses and that was the end of my current attempt at beating her. I couldn’t even get mad cause I was like “girl I know I don’t wanna kill you either but the TREE!” 😂😂

she is a saint.. a successful saint maybe after mesmer burned the place voluntarily became one

Fun fact: Out of everything we encounter throughout Elden Ring, Romina definitively has the most feet

Playback speed at 1.25 or is (for me at least) really hard to watch

Ouja is, or used to be, a Shamansal. Her "escape pod" is a shamansal stasis bed, complete with the room for the body with the exact same shape, and a large round metal frame behind it. There's a shamansal in each area, except for Entrance -- because Ouja is the shaman of that area. The 8th broken status indicator in Entrance is broken in the same pattern as Ouja's stasis bed. This is in addition to the other circumstancial evidence alluded to in the reddit post, i.e. how the Extractor attaches itself to Ouja, how Wallet likely broke Ouja's pod at the start before being killed by Vasa, as well as the authority to operate and connect the Living Network.
