I just got to the ruin last night while trying to open up the map. As soon as I crested the hill, my wife and I looked at each other and just said a collective “oh sh*t”. There was just this feeling of foreboding seeing the ruin, like the fingers may just be something evil.
The item description is describing the Finger Mimic as a mushroom, not the Finger’s themselves. It’s a mushroom that’s mimicking the Fingers, besides the word “Mimic” I’m not seeing the connection here. I’m not saying that the Fingers AREN’T fungal in nature, nor that your theory on Mimic’s in the game is wrong because I’m fully behind Radagon being a Mimic (or Nox, but that’s going into my own mad off the wall idea that the Nox are all artificial), I’m just not seeing the specific connection to your theory here. I think the biggest wtf is this moment we should really be getting from this description is that people can become fingers. That “stillborn” line is very evocative as well, reminding me of the stillbirth of brains in Bloodborne, but I don’t think there’s much to that. Yet. (Edit - I take that comment about the stillborn bit back. If people can become Two Fingers, then some people who are seeing that happen would probably think that the process caused their brains to be “stillborn” as they can’t speak anymore and they just wiggle about and have to have a translator. Christ this game just keeps going, huh)
@@crunchysalmons I’d rather not get into people not being deep enough tbh. The Radagon stuff I can get behind, but yes I do think that Jack hinges on mimicry a little too much.
@@JesusFoundations True, it's a bit too outlandish and isnt too far from the whole "and it was all a dream" cliche. Disparages alot of what goes on in the world(s).
@@ryano4784 for sure. I don’t doubt that mimicry is a super important part of Elden Ring’s story, but it’s not the part that everything else rests on. I certainly don’t subscribe to his idea that our Tarnished is a Mimic Tear, for example.
@BrunoCampos0122 He definitely has visions of a greater good, and he definitely possesses authentic virtues, but he’s willing to use people as tools and strip individuals of their agency to get there. SPOILERS BELOW. He basically mind controls people and doesn’t like when it doesn’t go his way. He pretty much hypnotized Mohg so he can use his influence and then use his corpse once he’s discarded him. And he robs Radahn of his agency, turning him into a puppet-husband.
That place has strong Stonehenge vibes 🖖 In this case, the "mimic" concept of the fingers could be more related with the actual duplication/reproduction of fungi in the real world, in my opnion. To me it feels more like an outer lifeform invansion. Maybe the Nox got those concepts/blueprints and develop their own based on those types of fungi.
Sorry man but a lot of this is hardly anything new, concept wise. We know miquella and Trina were the same. He divested himself of her, that’s why she’s now a separate entity. The hands at Caria manor can trap you. Miquella hasn’t been pulling all the strings, as the games lore is huge and predates him, but yes, he has the power of persuasion and intellect
GRRM loves dune so much he's adopted many concepts from it ... The culling of the wyrms Gods in the sand. The golden path. Arakis is a desert planet bc it's a golden planet . But it's much more obvious if you look at a game of thrones and how it follows dune beat for beat. The king/emperor goes to winter fell/ Caladan to ask Ned stark/ duke Leto to help him with his kingdom. There is a boy thrust forward that wants revenge for his father And it's his downfall There is prophecy and a bridge baby or promised king. Jon snow is Targaryen and stark Paul attreides is attreides and Harkonnen The bridge baby unites the kingdom With the first bridge baby being baldur the golden boy You see where I'm going???
Good comment, I have been thinking about all this too- especially trying to draw connections with the Golden Path! But everything is triple distilled so no direct parallel is there but spiritually the themes are inherited.
@@JackisaMimic absolutely sir, I wouldn't have shared this much I didn't find a kindred spirit that is obsessed/compelled ...wait , is Miquella around??? I love Elden ring as it's a story of how power corrupts But also a ragnorak and genesis story. I like your theory that radagon is a mimic but I think mimicry is wholly symbolic of how a psyche can fracture. How someone can become someone else completely As Marika is the in old terms the rebis and a symbol of the virtruvian man. Marika is the circle , the spiritual/soul side and radagon is the square , the physical / or nature / the beast This is why there is circular patters behind her and square ones behind radagon The fracture is also symbolic As a being needs to divest themselves of their physical body and love to become a god When you lose your love then what's left??? Ego and ambition.. in this you believe yourself to be a god. I also believe that Marikas journey is wholly ironic As her quest for power turns into a vessel, a Leal hound to the golden order. It's actually losing godwyn that snaps her back to herself. And brings her to the understanding that she's become a vessel or tool of the greater will. Bc she can no longer impact the world physically bc she is a spiritual being she needs radagon to shatter the Elden ring. There is exact dialogue that suggests that he does this , and it's in the beginning cutscene. What's more that everyone in the lands between are children of Marika . Through erdtree burial everyone is reborn w the shaman ability for their flesh to meld. This makes everything from grafting to moving a soul to sellen moving from body to body. It was thought that the carians were never mixed with Marikas children but renalla and radagon changed this. Also, the nox and shaman are linked. The lands do bare visages of former ages but the lands between is not much different then saying "middle earth" or "Midgard" There is obviously a lot of ragnorak Which is a story of the beginning and then end
@@positivecontacts obviously, I see a lot of direct parrellels Gold has always been an ancient power that is very much a mystery to us. Why did the ancient Sumerians burry their dead with gold ??? We see that as a waste. Gold must be valuable as we "mankind have always valued it" but why??? Being the softest and most useless of all metals - why is it , the end goal of alchemy and the philosophers stone??? Our ancestors had tech and knowledge we no longer have So gold is still a mystery of the gods Asgard is portrayed as a golden city There's a lot of historical record of gold being important
Something I found really interesting about the Finger Ruins was when I looked at the map I noticed that the region not only looks like a finger printer but looks almost exactly like the sigil that appears when you cast Godskin incantations. Spoiler: A small thing I found interesting in the DLC is that we know what the Greater Will looks like between a certain hat representing its appearance and a certain spell and staff that pretty much show the thing. But based on that and the presence of Finger Sorceries I can't help but wonder now: Are the Greater Will and the Primeval Current the same thing? If so, does that mean Graven Sorcery wasn't just a problem for the lives lost along the way. The fools were thinking they are making something that will let them become stars but, without realizing it, might be making their own means to make gods (Marika, Malenia, Miquella level gods) I still have a lot more to do with the DLC and by the end I may look back at this thought and feel embarrassed but right now these are the thoughts that are tingling my brain based on what I have found.
@@shaheenehtawish8354 High Priest Hat that Ymir drops. The Staff of Beyond and Fleeting Microcosm are the staff and spell. If you look at the icon for Fleeting Microcosm it gives the best view but the orb on the staff shows it too. (A pitch black sphere at the center of the Microcosm. It's definitely a sphere, the highlighted curve edge distinguishes its shape from the background darkness.) Until someone disproves what I think I'm seeing, this makes me think the Black Moon that crumbled over the Eternal City might have been an effigy of the Greater Will. Again, if this is correct, I think Ranni's cold Sorceries may have an error in the description. It says the Crone taught Ranni to fear the "Dark" Moon but we never see her do anything of the sort. I think it was suppose to say "Black" Moon and this is what started Ranni's anti-Greater Will behavior.
@Writh811 that is a very intriguing theory/line of thought. Thank you again for the insight. Ps. I find it rather funny that going off those items, the greater will is ball shaped.
Hey Jack, can feel your excitement, I’m having such a blast in the Shadow lands too- the scale and level design is just… wow. I wanted to add to your list of GRRM parallels, you mentioned the puppeteering of the dead and of course that’s similar Meathouse Man. Also there is a thousand worlds book called Starlady that features a elven character call Golden Boy that ‘stirs up feelings of intense love and violence’. Sound familiar? Everything in SoE feels so alien yet so familiar. Had some big lore winks so far too. Have to have a break but can’t wait to keep spelunking.
The fingers being fungi and the hallucinations from those finger mushrooms reminds me of how in asoiaf Bran eats that bowl of food made from the trees. Also any new Carian lore?
Hallucinogenic fungus is a GRRM Scifi staple for sure! Great connection with Men of Greywater Station, but also a major theme of A Song For Lya. Possible thematic similarity between the Greeshka and the Fingers? When I found this location I was dumbfounded with how alien it is from everything else we've seen, truly cosmic in scope and scale. Now get ready for my theory on how the Lost Moon of Nokstella is actually a Volcryn 😆
Do you think the Shadow Lands and the Lands Between "proper" are overlapping and the Shadow lands are an alternate dimension? They're not, right? If anything, the shadow lands would slot into the middle of the map where there's sea. They've been "physically seperated from the lands between" as said by Miyazaki. And the Tower of suppression / The whole of the Land of Shadow is said to be the center of the Lands Between. So nothing is "on top of" anything else between the two maps. Edit: It's definitily referring to the whole Land as the center of the L.B.
After seeing the dlc map I’ve been thinking the lands between is supposed to be shaped like the gods eye lake with the shadowlands completing the circle and farum Azula in the middle.
@@positivecontacts idk what it means but I’m convinced. If you line the maps up you end up with harrenhall sitting right around the fortified manor. The mt tops also are in the general area of the vale and Liurnia in the riverlands but that’s more iffy imo.

Thanks for sharing these cool insights! Hehe I finally found and explored this area myself last night, so I watched your video today :D When I first heard people talk about spaceships in Elden Ring, I was not onboard. But, after digging into it, spaceships and aliens were already becoming more the more plausible and simpler explanations for the evidence and circumstances than purely terrestrial ones. And now especially after seeing the Cerulean coast and the finger ruins areas I'm even more onboard the spaceship.. ship. Man! I'm so curious about wtf the Two/Three fingers are. This mind controlling fungus from GRRM's book connected to the items you showed is extreeemely interesting. I also jumped to the conclusion that if the Finger Creeper's jewelry looks like Rykard's then they must be mimicking Rykard. But this area sure makes it look like the finger creepers preceded Rykard and he mimicked them o.O
Gentlemen, it is with pride to annouce that i have beaten the mohglester (or golddigger if the very old miquella theory is to be believed) and can now enter the dlc. I will watch this when the dlc is beaten
If you compare frankenstein as a modern Prometheus to Prometheus, Elden Ring is like a more modern Prometheus. I had a hunch that queen Marika was like queen Myrrah from gears, also a prometheus retelling. But the lore you learn from why grafting is a thing makes it perfect imo.
I cannot but think you overhyped Miquella. Was a bit disappointing to see the Griffith Miquella and not the Godhand Miquella. It’s a story of good intentions leading a road to hell. Miquella’s plan was brilliant but for someone so central to causality and regression, I really bought into the entire Tanith, House Marai, and Godwyn story. Even the eclipse is falling flat at this stage. But not massively popular as this channel still is, the mimicry theory is of the finest theories I have seen on Fromsoft. Might still hold truth. Who knows if this DLC is a mimicry to Miquella’s actual plan from Elden Ring 2
The whole mimicry theory feels more about taking something that sounds cool and then just trying to smash it into the lore. It falls apart when you try to attach any meaningful theme to it, and in my opinion it being true would take away more than it would add.
You’ve only heard the what of the theory. I haven’t told you the why yet. Say, I wonder how Torrent knew to choose our Tarnished? You’ll just have to wait and see.
I always was under the impression that Marika was, in essence, a master illusionist and so far the things I've seen from the DLC are insanely out of my realm of theorizing, but nothing in particular has contradicted this yet.

Miquella has the power to bewitch and we touch his hand to enter the Land of Shadow. Take that as you will
@@JackisaMimic I think he is very much taking after his mother.
Without spoiling much, the way some speak when talking about being disillusioned makes me think of the Godfrey's Tarnished.
So happy to see a new jack lore video you would not believe it
I always knew you would be.
We are all mimics of the Greater Will 🧙♂
Are you taking your medications?
Well I think Miquella has been pulling the strings all this time and that'a why we SHOULD trust him. All hail the coming god
The whole earth is covered in Myzelium and considering that we share more of our DNA with shrooms then with shimpz it begs the question that we may all (dream) or beeing (ordered).
Cap .this is obviously false..chimps and apes are the closest thing to humans that aren't human
We as animals(chimps and humans) share more dna with fungi than plants ...😂😂😂
@@Sen.say. Im not talking about animals tho i mentioned them. Im talking about consciousness.
@Sonstbenannt sorry I thought you mean ..genetic information by dna ....
Please drop some dlc lore lol
What a fucking mind bender. Youre a genius
Promised consort is a mimic
You we're right about a lot lol
Sweet Sweet vindication!
I always thought the finger creeper's were the missing giants hands, cause uh looking at all of the giants in the mountaintops, I haven't found one with hands, there all removed, but i could be wrong
do the finger ruin questline and you will be proven wrong
Very interesting theories
Lol
