This is the only game where I've seen a trailer show us so much and still leave us with more questions than what we had before. This will truly be one of the DLCs of all time. You can call this a gameplay analysis if you want, but we're not sure what this is.

The boss in 5:48-7:20 doesn't look like just one creature, but several humanoids sharing a costume, like a Chinese parade dragon puppet, which might go with the Eastern interpretation
Looks like 3 bosses grafted together
I was just thinking the same thing, it looks like something standing on another hunched guy.
That was my first thought about its inspiration, it's really cool and creepy
When he’s winding up that breath attack, you can see that there’s one guy standing on the lower guy.
It really does look like something beneath the cloak is wielding the dog-creature like a weapon more so than it being that creature.
1:24 That purple zone is the sleep swamp I guarantee you
I saw a deathblight swamp too, hopefully Godwyn apperears in the DLC
Noo not a sleep swamp why
legends say if you visit all the swamps in elden ring captain swamp is summoned and he will give you a honda accord
@@Mohg_Lord_of_Blood_666I really want something with Godwyn.
@@Mohg_Lord_of_Blood_666Better move quickly through there. Chop chop, hurry up haha 😂
Notice how Mesmer has an aspect of everything the erdtree and golden order hate/fought against, he’s using briar magic, he’s got snakes, and his armor has dragon imagery on it
I feel like Mesmer is really old. Like he impaled the giants, but then committed all of the sins and was banished to the shadow realm. But he says mother, his mother is either a female Miquella and therefore an offspring of Mogh or his mother is Marika and therefore he must be ancient to be so forgotten. To be considered The Impaler he must be involved with the mountain top battle with the giants. Marika was still married to Godfrey. Could his mother be Rennala and therefore he’s Radagon offspring hence the hair.
Questions: where is the gloam eyed queen, Godwyn (maybe Mesmer is his twin), Rosus?Miquella’s took off all his possessions (don’t we do that with 3 fingers?).
@@john-paul3271I love how we can say “banished to the shadow realm” unironically now
@@john-paul3271 I agree with the thinking that he is most likely another one of Marika’s children, and I didn’t even think ab that with the giants, your probably right ab that, and idk i would very much like to know if there’s anything going on with godwyn during this or if something with him will come even later down the line
@john-paul3271 I'm think he could have red hair due to his seemingly heavy participation in the genocide of the giants, this being in line with the interpretation that Radagon has red hair due to a longstanding curse on Marika by the Giants.
What's interesting is that if we go with the interpretation that Messmer is Marika's son, despite the fact he is emblazoned with so much iconography that is heretical to the present Golden Order, his dialogue still seems to indicate he has at least his own brand of loyalty to the Golden Order. Similar to Morgott, he seems very critical of the Tarnished, mentioning a lack of grace multiple time's, and using that as a basis to question "Marika's" intentions.
Maybe Mesmer is the reason why the golden order hates all those things.
First thing I thought when seeing miquellas hand was "well rusty was wrong" 😂
why? did he make any assumptions in some previous video?
@@Al-Mahian he has a vid thumbnail saying how he thinks we will enter the dlc, and the thumbnail days "not this" with a facepalm with a photo of miquellas hand lmao
@@plaguedoctor5145 lol 😂
@@Sekiro_lover I mean do we know its not still?
@@SpencerBringhurstMiyazaki confirmed that miquellas cocoon is the warp point for the dlc. You should read the interviews there’s some juicy info in there
6:55
It's literally two guys in a trenchcoat! You can see the top half standing on top of the bottom half! Watch it frame by frame.
good catch there was like 5 frames of it
lmao thats hilarious
It's more than two I think which I what's making anatomy identification so hard on it
It looks grafted to me
It has morgotts foot, and maliketh parts. Probably Grafted by someone.
Can't wait for the haunting phrase "I am mesmir, blade or miquella"
I am mesmir shadow of miquella
I am mesmir shadow of the erdtree
I am mohg, doer of miquella
"I am messmer, shadow of the erdtree and i have known defeat"
I am Mir, mes of mer
8:02 as for that incantation, I believe that was a charm incantation that you theoretically get from Miquella's remembrance, because in the bewitching branch item description, Miquella was loved by everyone, and the incantation and the bewitching branch both have the same color. And since they were butterflies while casting that incantation, it confirms that its from Miquella, since Malenia also had butterflies, and they're siblings.
Please not Miquella's remembrance. I am hoping we get to spare him
@@glorytoukraine5524 i mean, that's what a charm magic user would want you to think
@@Mohg_Lord_of_Blood_666 🤭
@@glorytoukraine5524isn't Miquella's charming thing kind of like brainwashing? I don't even think Miquella can get to a state where we can fight him unless he pulls some rebirth cocoon shit but I'm not holding out hope on him being a good guy at this point lol
@@Subpar1O1 I have a theory that we're going to fight his dream-self/incarnation of his purpose as Empyrean and possible Lord. Sort of like we killed Fortissax in the Death-Dream of Godwyn.
11:51 "Oh it's on a horse!"
Worse; it's on half a horse.
A skeleton riding on a half a pale horse
It's a nuckelavee! :D
@@NeutralDrow Thank you! I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else caught that. :D This plus the "Fire Giant" being a Wickerman, the Fuu Dog statues, and the "Lighting Boss" being people in a chinese dragon parade costume really are showing some varied myths.
IIIITTTSSS *PIKACHU!*
So when's the "Ranking the Elden Ring DLCs" video?
three years
"ranking the frames of the DLC trailer"
"ranking literally everything in Shadow of the Erdtree" coming soon in late 2025
The double snakes on Mesmer seem most similar to the duelists, maybe he's connected with them? (the duelist's set says "The snake is viewed as a traitor to the Erdtree, and the audience delighted in seeing these bronze effigies beaten and battered", maybe he's the original traitor that the symbols are referencing?)
I honestly assumed he was connected to rykard, with the snake and fire motif he has going on.
This, and "Messmer's flames" are very suspicious too. Fire is prohibited by Golden Order after all.
Perhaps this prohibition is enforced because of someone who used it against Erdtree?
She Shadow on my Erdtree till I Mesmer
Mesmer? I hardly even know her!
She Mess on my Mer till I Impaler?
Peak comedy
She Messmer on my Erdtree till i Impaler?
light of the turdtree
The boss reminds me of the tradition of weraring a dragon mask and having multiple people under the same costume
I think that's exactly what it is
for sure yeah, maybe a grafted version
Lion dancers.
Lion dance, yeah.
@emberpowertcg7692 Oh it screams of Grafting. Multiple arms and legs tangled together, bodily movements that are attempted-human-like but 'wrong'? Grafting has to be involved somehow.
Miyazaki confirmed that the Lion Dance was the inspiration for it in an interview already. So, you're spot on.
We finally got the "Aspect of the Crucible: Wings" attack confirmed, kek. I've wanted that for awhile so to see the wings, using the same animation as the Crucible Knights but scaled down, was really amazing.
It looks to be an AoW though since the character has a twin blade and a shield and nothing to cast incantations with, unless they brought back casting weapons from DS2.
@@demonintellect9834 It'd be pretty lame if we couldn't use it with the Crucible Weapons.
@@demonintellect9834 Actually I think I know what's going on here and it's something you brought up.
I think the Twinblade the Tarnished is wielding must have a special ability to act as a catalyst.
I think this because if you look closely that's the same Twinblade used by the Knight Boss the Tarnished shows off those martial arts style kicks against. We can tell this enemy is a boss because of the gold fog wall in the background.
So if this is a boss weapon it'd have a unique ability. This Knight doesn't seem to have any relation to the Crucible at all from his appearance.
Ultimately it wouldn't make sense for a Boss weapon of a seeming non-Crucible related character to have a Crucible Related Ash of War attached to it.
Therefore it must be a catalyst weapon.
Or he's an Elite enemy right before a boss fight.
@@asdergold1 Could be, but it still seems to be a unique weapon given that's the only enemy in the trailer we see wielding it and we only see a Tarnished wielding it presumably after the Knight has been killed given that Messmer is probably the last boss of the DLC.
Right before the Lion spews the grey stuff, one can see it's made up of a dude standing on another dude holding the lions head. In the blue flower field, those are ships or the back structure of ships, 16-17th century style ships. Additionally I think this DLC works like the new Lords of the Fallen with the "shadow realm" same world, just distorted second version.
-----------------------------
*I quote:* Touch the withered arm (obviously Miquellas arm in Mogh's Arena), and travel to the realm of shadow" Like we touch/embrace Fia to get to the Fortisax Bossfight, within her dream.
------------------------------
i think this is the most likely
The lady in the red flowing looks like the blue dancing talisman almost
maybe an alternate version of the blue dancer (which would be coherent with the palette swap) or a disciple of his
@@alexterieur8813 could also be a twin blade dancer since they are dual wielding daggers
Maybe it has something to do with the dancer Guy i think he was malenia's mentor
I had the same thought
I'm thinking that was the dancer in blue after sealing away the rot. That sort of thing always comes with a price
I’m so glad we finally have a confirmed release date. The fact that it’s also on ps4 is amazing
Edit: before anyone asks again, the reason I was concerned about the dlc not being on ps4, was because the dlc for horizon forbidden west was locked to the ps5 because the ps4 couldn’t handle it, and I was hoping that wouldn’t happen but couldn’t be sure.
Yippee!
terrible honestly, older generation consoles hold back pc and new gen consoles
editing this to say everybody seething over this comment is poor lol
why wouldn’t it be
And Xbox one!
I’ve seen many RUclipsrs theorize that the release date will likely be pushed back as this dlc is huge
the bear incantation is dragon cult stuff, since the rune bears are technically dragons. you can even see stone scales on them if you look hard enough.
Prepare yourself...
For an unBEARable defeat!
WHAT?
Forefathers one and all, BEAR witness!
@revthescatman137 yep. Way back in early elden ring, runebears would drop dragon hearts. And yes, on their chest are shards of gravel stone poking through.
@@revthescatman137ruclips.net/user/shortsueekTHvdYiE?si=epL11lyO3rASO9we
If you look at the boss throwing the lightning bolt you can see it is actually 2 things on top of each other also if you look at Mesmers eye it is the same as the dragon communion eyes so potentially Mesmer is a different outcome instead of turning to a magma wyrm when you follow the dragon cult. And the curved sword that the red lady in the blue area reminds me of the blue dancer that sealed the rot god.
The dude has snakes, wields something similar to fire, has dragon eyes and armor. This dude is doing a "trigger the entire golden order" speed run
@@justsomeannoyingredpanda Literally the Golden Order's antichrist at his point lol. He also had Deathroot coming up with the massive flame he summoned when we first saw him, and has the "one eye closed" thing both Ranni and Melina have going on.
@@gunnarschlichting9886 And Malenia, actually, half of her face is rotted off. It seems to be a thing among Empyreans, Mesmers seems to be one of them.
@@justsomeannoyingredpandathe fire has to be the same magic mogh uses that's why he talks about a mother the formless mother outer god
I heard that apparently in an interview, they said that we’re getting 8 new weapon categories, which may explain some of the interesting weapons and abilities.
Ooooh, I hope we get something that's like a cross between a greatsword and a spear!
So you’re telling me, that the high monk-esque kicks could be an entire weapon class?
*Hell yeah*
Ah yes my favorite weapon class:
These Hands
@@epicjeong Finally I can Drop Kick the Fire Giant :3
Now we can challenge Godfrey on equal terms.
4:36 that looks like farum azula before it crumbles, you can even see bits that have broken off and are floating near the top, along with a weird semi-floating tower
Or maybe it's what's left over when the Farum Azula we know hecks off into the ether?
It's not the FA we know of, that's for sure.
I did so much architecture research on that thing that I can safely say that it's not it.
Now, the Divine Towers are FA stuff if you go around and compare. Food for thought.
I think it's Elphael, actually. Looking at the architecture and the walls, especially the crumbled bits of the right wall.
Maybe Messmer is the so called “Impaler” of the Impaler’s Catacombs
Edit: 5:45 the thing has gills, it’s a lamprey! IM SURPRISED.
So a little promotional doodad released by Fromsoft describes this place as "where the goddess Marika first stepped foot" which was "purged in an unsung battle" and "set ablaze by Messmer's flame."
So it ISN'T a remixed version of the world, but a separate region where Numen (like Marika) presumably originated.
Can't wait to rage in the sleep swamp
Messemer sits in a weird venn diagram between miquella stuff, Bloodflame stuff and dragon Communion stuff.
Name changed adult Miquella? Arms seem similar.
THE WINGS, THE FINAL CRUCIBLE INCANTATION
the wings incantation really looks like the missing aspect of the crucible spell, probably aspect of the crucible wings or something
edit: after watching the trailer again, it seems to be more like a weapon art for one of the twinblades, still hype af tho
Nah, the TB is the one the knight enemy had.
Seems to be a casting tool or some such that drops from an Elite enemy. And since there's a gold fog wall, it's right before a boss.
Or it's an ash and that is another boring Smithing Stone weapon.
Mesmer reminds me heavily of Gwendolyn,the robes, snakes,the androgynous appearance
New ash of war "giant fuck off pot"
You've heard of "Giantsflame Fire Pot", now get ready for "Giant Pot of Fire.... Flame".... idk i tried
New ash of war ,TACTICAL NUKE
That weird omen/misbegotten/lion thing is two dudes (probably omens) in a lion dance suit. You can see it when it stands up at 6:38, and the eyes look like blank gemstones (because it's a mask, not an actual head).
I think Messmer is the third child of Radagon and Marika judging by the M name and the red hair. Marika also gave way for the Tarnished to get the throne rather than her children, explaining why he’s jealous.
theres an interview on ign and some details on the collectors edition preorder page that clear some things up. messmer is a demigod, miquella fled here and shed his divinity similar to ranni, its a different zone probably in the area between the divine towers "the size of limgrave" (not sure if this includes caelid), marika came here originally and something about the erdtree cast the land into shadow, and miquella came here afterwards for some reason. the big fire giant thing is apparently a weapon, and there's a fuck ton of bodies burning inside it. Im assuming messmer created it since he's the one that is setting everything on fire. very interested in seeing what its like
The giant fire wicker basket is fucking insane. There’s a dragon in there if you look closely.
It says were marika first stepped maybe this is were she and the numans came from and why shadow assassins are called shadow assassins
@@azeria1 personally i think its related to the eternal cities. that one big city reminded me of the acropolis in nokron, and they just kinda look similar. the seat of the original "ancient dynasty" mentioned in I think some oracle item description. personally I love tarnished archaeologist as well, so I'm really hoping its related to that stuff because it would be cool as shit if we could see the seat of power of the previous empire
@@charlesgarand That's Berserk leaking into the series again! Guts and co fight a wickerman like enemy that's powered by sacrificed souls when they get to Elfhiem/Skellig Island. Good to see Miyazaki is continuing to show his love for Berserk.
I have a counter-theory on the wickerman type thing, and it stems from the voice-over during the scene; "they were never saints. They just happened to be on the losing side of a war." I think that was a warcrime weapon made by the fire giants, who as we know are believed to have been the original blacksmiths, are associated with a deep red flame (but then so is Destined Death and Bloodflame), were the losers in a war, and have that same general shape and emphasis towards the chest that it seems to be emulating--and the lines seem like a possible, semi-direct reference to the pity that their limited description has garnered in the base game. "Tyrants toppled by tyrants" is a pretty GRRM story beat, and with all the references to Brythonic mythology the fire giants may be a reference to the Fomorians.
That Messmer Person might be a sibling to Miquella and Malenia. He/she seems to refer to a Person making you (maybe) a Lord, as mother, so might be refering to Marika.
If this is a different reality where certain key facts went differently... Mesmer could be bizarro Melina. She too refers to her mother more than any other character.
They've been pretty consistent on only giving characters red hair if there's a good reason.
@@ManOfEthnicity like being related to Radagon.
If he's from the same breed as Marika then he might aswell be an Alter Ego of Miquella. In case the whole 2nd Identity thing that Marika had going on doesn't need to change your gender aswell.
He looks too much like his own Person though to be an acted alter ego of Miquella.
I mean dragon Themed armor, snakes, blood/fire or even bloodfire magic, the snake/dragon eyes, he's not a child
The only thing he and Miquella have in common, except the Potential family bonds, are that they both oppose the Erdtree and the golden order.
Well the butterfly theory basically confirms Messmer is Miquella and Malenia's sibling
@@TheRealJohnux Miquella doesn’t oppose the Erdtree and the Golden Order. Like the good alchemist he is, he was trying to perfect the Golden Order, but he doesn’t really oppose it.
i do love that rusty's prediction immediatly got dunked on the second the trailer started
9:27 is definitely similar to Dragon Communion, which might have something to do with rune bears. Rune bears are bears that have eaten dragon hearts, so we might have to kill the bear version of a magma wyrm for that incantation
They also have Gravel Stone in them. Hilariously the best attempt at making others dragons, but by complete accident.
14:27 besides Volcano Manor, one other noteworthy appearance of snake symbolism is with the gladiator duelists, whose armor and some weapons (IE viper bite fists, coil shield) are all described and depicted as adorned with bronze snakes that apply the Shabriri's Woe debuff? IIRC the item descriptions / lore is something about 'snakes tell the audience to root against this guy'? Maybe Messmer is the reason why snakes are seen as a reviled symbol....???
14:45 I think that's actually the red snake buddy wrapped around them, you can see in other shots that the snake is kinda intertwined all across their body.
I think a lot of these boss fights are alternate versions of existing enemies, the blue flower area that you said may be underground is either nokron or nokstella, the lion guy with morgott looking feet is Morgott if the lion chose him instead, hence the omen horns, and Messmer is an unmentioned child of Radagon
partial to this theory as well
I think that castle at 4:35 is actually farum azula before it got the kansas treatment. look at the pillars out front, they're the same as the ones found in Placidusax's boss arena. plus the big beast man/abomination thing wields lightning, both beast men and lightning magic is found in crumbling farum azula. That deathroot looking stuff rusty pointed out could actually be seen all over the main aboveground area, so it could be anything.
The DLC seems to take place in something called the "Realm of Shadows" since the voice towards the end says something like "Touch the hand and travel to the Realm of Shadows". And since there seems to be nothing in common with existing Lands Between, I believe that FromSoftware did make an ENTIRE new map.
Pot go brrr = happy souls community
The shot at 1:15 really blew me away, because I was expecting something closer to one big legacy dungeon, like Farum Azula.
"Ok so they put most of their effort into creating a whole new region" I thought, until 1:32 hit and suddenly I'm looking at a legacy dungeon the size of Farum Azula, and judging by its distance from the tree it isn't even the main attraction.
Like I get they had 2 years to work in this, but MARIKA'S TITS!
Miyazaki said this area is going to be bigger than limgrave
That lion boss is three omen in a trenchcoat with a pullet lion head.
The big lion looking thing, if you slow it down frame by frame, you see multiple sets of legs and torsos.. I think it's an eastern dragon parade 'costume'.
It is either two guys or a new Revenant boss!
Rip
Rusty’ prediction
1:00 that was actually one of my first thoughts seeing this trailer
When they showed pot staircase I almost cried
The Tarnished growing wings at the end seems to be based on Crucible Knights being able to grow wings. The Tarnished even raises their sword into the air like Crucible Knights
I fucking love the outfit that was worn with the dude throwing hands.
Best video breakdown yet. Love the slow mo cuts to take a better look 👏
Messmer… is so mesmerising…
I ain’t gay, but damn.
Would.
Guy has the beauty of his siblings if he's one of Radagon and Markia's kids. But if he is he probably is cursed like them with something.
I know right

@@Rusty._ Unimaginably based.
@@Rusty._...Me too.
Getting real Mordred vibes from Arthurian legend with Messmer. Especially the helmet. If they're some sort of bastard child born of the demigods and fighting to burn down the Erdtree, I wouldn't be surprised.
Can you appraise this *Shrimp*🍤
10:00 that's definitely an Red Ballerina npc fight. We already know of the blue ballerinas so I guess red ballerinas exist too
Please. I am begging for a pots ranking list after dlc releases.
It’s seems to be set in the “shadow” of everything. So that’s why somethings are so similar. Or we are playing in the dying mind of miquella, as it tries to make its own version of the lands between.
I saw someone mention on reddit that the mystery character at 3:53 looks nearly identical (at least in outfit) to the figure in the carian inverted statue! The only hint the statue's description has towards their identity is "Statuette of a scholar, with ground and sky inverted." so it's possible that they're not the exact figure, and that's just what carian scholars wear? The area they're in reminds me of the eternal cities, so maybe they're an ancient astrologer who has extended their lifespan somehow
6:55 you can see that its not a beast, but literally two dudes, one of them is crouching on the other, omens possibly
Either that or an Omen Revenant.
I think the bear spell gas a connection to dragon communion. The blossoming horns and red hair suggest this might be a product of a failure or partial transformation
They are partial dragons, and actually have Gravel Stone in them.
Somehow an accidental and better success than all the experiments to turns people into dragons lmao
Imma theorycraft, "messmer" is a sorta play on words like mezmerizing which is interestin
Also messmers "mother" could be formless mother
Might be. He might aswell be a shunned sibling to Miquella and Malenia. Hair color and naming convention roughly check out. Plus the mother He refers to might aswell be Marika. Being able to Make someone a Lord kinda checks out.
But all of that kinda feels too obvious. Suspiciously so.
@@TheRealJohnux He could also be the Radagon equivalent to Miquella. He does have similar proportions to Miquella's body that Mohg had.
Which leads me to think he’s either a version of Miquella like Radagon/Marika or a sibling.
He directly calls Marika mother, so those are the most likely choices. Especially given Miyazaki confirmed Miquella entered the land of shadows in the steps of Marika, and the tarnished, in turn, in the steps of Miquella.
Also, as noted, Messmer is likely a play on ‘mesmer’ as in to hypnotize, and its stated Miquella’s ability to enrapture and capture the hearts of those around him make him the most terrifying empyrean. A form of hypnosis, to be sure.
Or it's Miquella's new name.
The deathblight in not-stormveil might have something to do with the version of Godwyn under the castle
The Wings might be another Aspect Of The Crucible spell since the crucible knights can use it.
We finally getting our crucible wings! 😤
throwing my hat in the ring to say something probably at least a dozen people have speculated without me knowing, but i'm looking at this, seeing many areas that reflect areas we already know, this looks like a mirror world, a... shadow of the lands between you could say. there was the walk up to stormveil, what looked to be an alternate house marais, the sword dancer looked like the weeping peninsula, the area at the beginning makes me think of caelid without the rot
Been waiting for Rusty’s video all day
Those fucking skills and AoW’s looked sick. Those kicks, the pot throws, and that purple magic stuff all looked awesome.
it feels like the lands between but off and with more deathroot, the lamprey looking thing sucking the tarnished reminds me of wormfaces, the atmosphere is brown-ish and stuff, I wonder if it's inside godwyn's or some other demigod's dream similar to how an alternate yharnam exists inside the old hunters dream in the bloodborne dlc
The twin blade we’re using in the boss fight is the one the boss getting kicked by van helsing is using
Gonna have to make a stop at the Stoners Pot Palace
I was waiting for you to drop this as soon as the trailer finished 😂😂😂
The lion boss is most likely either the first omen or the source of the omen due to its fangs and horns which are common omen traits. Also when messmer talks about his "mother" it is mostlikely the formless mother since it looks like he uses blood flame and thorn sorceries and incantations
It's two guys.
@@asdergold1 if that shit ends up being 3 gnomes in a trench coat I will hunt down whoever came up with that
im very happy with how new this all looks, its not just "more elden ring" this is elden ring that theyve clearly like to change, add to and improve
After close inspection i found out the tarnished is a gymnastic in front of mesmer look at rolling animation
Dude I saw that fucking Divorce hearing message hahaha I had a feeling you were going to be in that chat somewhere. That was gold
For all my lore nerds! Miquella and st trina lore pretty much confirm this is not the lands between (and miyazaki confirmed in IGN interview today too) so this new land is either: literally a new land, a sort of parralel universe, or its within miquellas head (like in fias head in base game)
The portrait could either be: fia and her husaband, marikas parents (making the new antagonist her brother), or new characters.
Also there's a bunch more but i feel like lore dumping is probs best left from yt comments!
Awesome reactions, great video, DLC hype!
I think the people in the portrait are the ruler of this land and Miquella. We see the old dude later in the trailer with some sort of thorns in him and it would make sense for Miquella to have the ruler under his control, being so manipulative and all. Also the person on the right has the same veiled appearance that Miquella usually has.
@@horkah6966this is actually pretty cool! It also kind of looks like milos, well the thorny sword he looks to be pulling through his face looks like the sword of milos anyway! Super excited to nerd out over this dlc
skipped my doctor appointment for this
With messmer the snake that is wrapped around them is double headed one at the top one at the bottom so they either have 2 snakes or the snake has some significance to messmer or folk lore
the giant thing at 1:33 is a wickerman of some sort and maybe a berserk reference as well. 2:09 in case you didn't notice in the background there is a boat on the left and one on the right
This trailer actually gave me goosebumbs
10:20 major Dancer of the boreal valley vibes here. but the main thing I want to focus on here is 11:42. THAT IS ORPHAN OF KOS' WEAPON. I'm pretty sure that move was lifted from that fight. Also the character's outfit at 8:20 is VERY Bloodborne-esque, so now im hoping we get some kind of connection.
It does seems to be a reused ash.
Hope it's decent to compensate.
It’s gonna be like a dream where you’re in the underground lava sewers, you turn around and now you’re in the purple area
Nice. Now we can wait for a NEW All weapon ranking video
youre right, that weird beast boss is like godfrey. underneath you can see two humans on top of each other carrying around and attacking with the beast part at 6:50
All weapons video after dlc comes out finna go brrrrrr!
My guess is that the "Fire Giant" is gonna be a Wicker Man. Ala Celtic mythology. Check out Cuchulain's Noble Phantasm from Fate/Grand Order, and it's pretty similar. And the monster at @11:48? That's a Nuckelavee, yet another reference to Orcadian myth. An area to the north of scotland.
Top 10 quotes from DLC trailer
Well this looks, incredible, massive and insane… just as I expected it to be. The amount of work put into this game… wow ❤️🔥
The lion fight looks like it's in the garden outside of the roundtable hold but in the castle. Where the warden car thingies try to kill you. There's a hallway leading there and some gravesites.
Can’t argue with kicks and wings
theres an interview with miyazaki that sheds some light on stuff from the trailer as well thats worth checking out!
I was waiting for your vid
At the end with the wings that’s the wing attack that the crucible knights use at half hp. assuming they gave it to us since a lot of people wanted the wing attack for their crucible builds
That thing with the giant lion head looks like a Chinese lion dancing costume. There’s a frame or two where if you look carefully as it reads up you can see another pair of hands and someone else’s feet standing on top of their head.
the big dog lion boss grabs an throws the lightning with its mouth
YESSSS JUNE!!!
That looked like a Runebear roar like the Dragon spells
