Hi! Just a couple of things from me: 1.This video was made available EARLY for members and patrons! Lil incentive perk for generously supporting me ! Watching this video is more than support enough, and I'm really grateful! 2. If you're wondering why I don't go into Shabriri, I have already in an older video of mine called "Grapes, Pumpkin Heads and Albinaurics." I also want to do a whole Chaos video at some point! 3. Just thank you all and I hope you enjoy!!
You forgot to mention how dragon heart consumption inevitably turns the person into a Wyrm, and she may have chosen to be a bloody finger because Mohg made a deal to hold the transformation back so long as she serves him. Which is sad, because even if our Ronin got what he wished for, she would just turn into a flightless, belly dragging Wyrm. Which is truly the worst fate?
there is an interesting last detail theory about Eleonora her bloodlust is so great, so strong, that she probably intent to betray her master and kill Luminary Mogh himself upon her death, she drops her poleblade (coolest weapon) and the purifying crystal tear, used in the physic flask to nullify nothing more than Moghwyn's Bloodboon Rutial, his most dangerous attack add on that she doesn't have the forehead trident tatoo that all other bloody fingers have
Moreover, Yura seemingly betrayed his own morality by giving himself to a different type of madness, if Shabriri is speaking true. Perhaps he felt that he had to in order to be any match for Eleonora, or to make use of Shabriri's powers of suggestion. But if he had succeeded, then Yura would likely have succumbed to frenzy anyway. I think he's pretty certain that hunting Eleonora is his death sentence, so he made the deal. It's why he tells you to run away from her.
@@NickCombs I think that it's more likely that Shabriri was just trying to deceive you by taking the form of a well-liked and virtuous character (much as how he revives Irina, now in the form of Hyetta). He's also a known deceiver, based on what he tells you at the mountaintops versus what actually occurs.
@@dksu While I agree Shabriri is a liar, there must be limits on his ability. Otherwise, he could take over anyone at any time. It's a common limit in myths for an evil entity to require an invitation before they can enter. So I'm thinking along these lines when Shabriri says Yura offered his body to this entity.
@@NickCombs yeah it's definitely possible that he took advantage of Yura's moment of weakness. I guess I just doubt that Yura would willingly give himself to the Frenzied Flame. I would buy though that he was deceived into allowing himself to be possessed, much as we can infer that Irina may have been into become a vessel for the Three Fingers without knowing exactly what she was doing.
I love how in ER, people who do invasions are basically labeled as snakes. Which is pretty much how one often feels about an invader, especially if they screw your game somehow. It's like Fromsoft is acknowledging the feeling, within the narrative itself. The voice actor for Yura is probably my favorite in the game. Man could ask you to pass the salt, and it would sound epic.
I somehow completely missed Agheel until endgame when I was backtracking for stuff I missed, but somehow still completed his quest line starting from the Nerijus battle. Love that so many character quests have extra non-mandatory encounters just for extra content.
One thing to consider is that after the Agheel fight he says the line: "That was my first dragon hunt in quite some time. Paired up with a hothead like you, it was just like old times." This implies to me that he was speaking from first hand knowledge of being a dragon hunter and perhaps someone who once partook in dragon communion. It's possible he's warning you of communion in a kind of "do as I say not as I do kind of way." The 'hothead' even seems likely to be Eleonora. His reverence to her knighthood tells me that he admired her as a drake knight (and possibly could've been one himself), it was her fall to becoming a bloody finger that he hated.
Bro wtf, how do you even get likes on this garbage comment. All of the shit you say is addressed, or said in the video directly, watch first, comment later. I seriously do not understand people that do this shit of not watching the video, not reading an article beyond the title and so-on. It ain't hard to stop yourself from commenting cuz you're just being absolutely redundant with EVERYTHING you just said, Like seriously, It's a bit after the half way mark that ALL of the content or speculation in your comment is said in the video. The literal quote about hot-headed shit, the, at this point obvious speculation of his motivation for his words, etc. ALL OF IT, it's like you came to write this comment after you read the title of the video man, not even watched a few seconds
These videos inspired me to NG+, and this play through has been like stepping into The Lands Between for the first time. Knowing more lore, characters, ect from your previous videos gave so much insight than my first play through when ER dropped.
Also, Elinora wears the Dragon armor. Suggesting that she partook in Dragon communion. Which possibly lead to her becoming blooddrunk and hallowed out by the everpersiating hunger for more dragon hearts. And she turned to battle through bloody fingers in search attaining more dragons hearts through killing foes or earning resourses by invading to purshase more dragon hearts.
I'm a late viewer to this one... my god, i was so heartbroken by the end. It's an unspeakable feeling how even a most tragic, fateful tale can suddenly be granted a touch of beauty by love's intervention alone. Appreciated as always your meticulous, sensitive approach to the character's actions and motivations, hope this won't come off as an admirer-tinted praise, but i truly believe only you could have made this video. Your narration all along was great but the emotion in your voice on that last bit, so heartfelt... As for Yura, props to the voice actor for conveying so well the feeling of resolve pushed forward by his devotion to Eleonora, his refusal to believe that even when she's gone so far, he could still save her from her blood-ridden fate. Then, his unconditional love, he didn't need her to love him back, true love asks for nothing in return, he just wished for her to be her former, actual self. The pain in his voice as he falls by her hand, how his last thoughts and wish are for her, the woman who remained immaculate in his heart, that's actually what left me heartbroken in the end. P.S. Apologies for the long comment and congrats on 110k subs!
yura was one of my favorite characters in the game with short lore but just a great story, quest, voice lines, and everything. Even so, I learn quite a bit more from this video Thank you
I'm going through a new playthrough to get ready for dlc and it's the first time I've done his quest line all the way through and I've beaten the game like a dozen times lol. It's a quick one....and very sad
Not a true fan. I've done everything, found every talisman, every spell, and found every crystal tear, done every cave and catacomb, found every site of grace, and gotten all achievements. Jealous?
The word “kokoro” quite literally means “heart”, but rather than say the anatomically physical heart “Shinzou“「心臓🫀」that pumps blood in our veins, the word refers to the symbolic heart (❤). In Japanese, kokoro is used specifically to convey the emotional heart we love with, and our fondness for someone. For instance you could refer to keeping someone in your heart the same way you could call that person “your heart”. If that helps, I think there’s no mistake there was an implication of deep emotional bond, more than just camaraderie. Great video as always. Yura’s quest was a deep and unexpected one during my journey. And congratulations to your huge milestone! Well earned.
another great video of Elden Rings lore. Yura is certainly one of the most underrated characters of the game. Your voice is so soothing and with subtle tastes. I have watched almost all your Elden Ring videos and I keep coming for more. Love the viewing angle vs Top View. Makes you look more intriguing and involved with us audience. Keep it up. 90k more for 200k subs. You will get there no doubt. Don't change for no one. This is your signature story telling character. Be easy and keep doing what you do. Thanks Miss Chalice! Mel
11:46 late reply but Yura breathing in is such a good piece of show dont tell. Its such a simple way for the voice actor to convey that Yura is personally invested in this single-minded hunt for cessblood, gives us the idea that there is more to his hunt than simple righteousness
I just found your channel and I'm glad I did. Excellent combonation of a soothing calm narrator over information about a game I love and you're absolutely adorable.
It's really cool that Eleonora and Yura's two weapons (which are personally among my favorites and likely some of the best objectively in their categories) have this interesting and cool story to them. It adds significance to just using them, which of course could just be me, but I doubt it.
This is a great video. Your footage really draws attention to the quality of the voice acting for Yura's character, which is incredible. Yura is a more interesting character than it appears at first glance - he sits at the intersection of 3 of the game's major antagonistic forces: dragon communion, the Lord of Blood, and the Frenzied Flame (through the possession of his body by Shabriri).
@@envi2273 she’s talking about violent immortals in a ruined hellscape. For me the dissonance is that she presents this in a very soothing voice and presentation style. She’s great.
Yura us one of my favorite npcs of the game, from his design to his bravery and conviction (and his voice as well lol) so thanks you so much for making this video
Hi, I just want you to know I think your videos are not only incredible , passionate and well done , but that the value you bring to my enjoyment of this game with the storytelling and detail you bring is unmatched. I hope you release merch someday! I’d be the first in line. Hello from Boston!
Man i really loved his quest even if it was not all that long, you meet him really early and he goes through the game with you, noticeably starting to struggle with each step, until his end, which is all the more tragic because he gets taken over by shabriri afterwards
Probably my favourite character and quest line, so down to earth yet and gritty. Makes me want to come back to Sekiro and the land of reeds more often:)
I started Yura's quest, but I never fully completed it, and before I knew it, I was speaking to his body possessed by Shabriri... Xc I love all the lore videos and the work you put in them! It's very much well deserved, and I hope you keep making more lore videos!
Had to give you a 👍. I did not know about this quest with Yura, I only met him in Limgrave then later in the snow area where it's not him, but someone else. I've platinumed this game and still learn new things about it.
Really nice work Chalice! 😄👍 I thought I had heard all of the lore for Elden Ring. I knew about Yura and Eleonora, got her pokeblade and everything, but didn't know there was more dialogue with Yura. It gave more character and life to his tragic tale.
I absolutely love your storytelling, and the sound/cadence of your voice has such a soothing and easy to listen to quality. That being said, I'm upset with you today for making me cry over a fictional video game character's tragedy. 😂
Great video. Can you also explore the possible lore behind the yellough anix tunnel? It seems so mysterious with the signs of a great battle and the ghostly whispers throughout. You're one of my favorite Elden Ring RUclipsrs!
i love how some of yura's dialogue with regard to eleanora features double entendre which can either be interpreted romantically, or violently: "i'm dying to see you." longing for her romantically? or is this a statement acknowledging that he will lose his life next they meet? "it seems i am no match for you." to be sure, she bested him in battle, but could this mean he now understands he is no romantic match for her?
I believe that his words about avoiding Eleonora might have a double edge. It might not've been for your safety alone, but rather, for the safety of the two people that he seemed to care about. He does show some genuine care by eventually lending his strength to your cause in something that he knows very well could potentially lead to your path to corruption. He might also have noted your potential, becoming increasingly more skilled as time passed on. He might've simply not wanted the chance of having to end up choosing one side or the other should it come down to you confronting Eleonora. He wanted to give himself the chance to get to her first.
japanese student heart, 心 "kokoro", has not really one of those word that can be used to mean multiple thing in english, it basically means heart without thinking to much about. it can mean mind or soul when used in conjation with other kanji to mean something different, but as a stand alone word it basically means heart
DAMN I feel so bad for him...I'm really loving your videos and SO glad I found your channel. I had NO idea how much depth there was to this game. I'm enjoying my second playthrough so much more than my first thanks to your help and understanding subtleties I completely missed the first time while just trying to survive...Poor Yura.....
I've been doing a return playthrough to Elden Ring after not really enjoying it the first time around, never would've restarted if I hadn't seen your Fia video! I'm enjoying it so much more now, only problem is the more of your videos I see, the more quests I wanna do! Thank you :>
Great video Chalice! Violet as a colour also has a significant significance in Japanese culture, being associated with warriors and strength - often symbolised with iris flowers - in fact at one point it was a faux Pas to give a Samurai any other flower than a purple iris (I looked again cos I was hoping the flower-like guards on Elenora's polearm might be violets or irises but I think it's pushing it to claim that)
As an italian myself I would’ve never imagined hearing the word “cesso” in a lore video. Btw (not to correct you or anything) the pronunciation of the word is “chesso” and, as often happens, more “vulgar” words directly come from latin. In this case the word “cesso” comes from the word “recessus” and the verb “recédere”, which basically means to go into a private place, without any “dirty” implications at all. It was only later on that people started using the term as an insult to someone, or something, implying that the “private place” was,in fact, the toilet. So if we interpret the word “cessblood” in a modern way, it surely refers to something dirty and filthy, but if we go back to the original meaning , it refers more to something almost “private”, or, if you prefer “hidden”, which is in my opinion perfectly in tune with the narrative of an hidden order, not easily accessible. Hope you found this interesting!
On Yura's line; "I cut off the finger", it's far more likely that he's talking about his own finger rather than Eleonora's, as he is talking to her, rather than about her. It also makes sense that he's talking about himself, being a Ronin, he is without a master where once he had one, Mohg. As Mohg still lives, severing his own finger was walking away from his bloody oath, making him a blade without a master and he thus becomes his own master, following his own desire to liberate Eleonora from her own oath.
My first Elden Ring character was all about dragon incantations and Eleonara's Poleblade. I wasn't intentionally Eleonara cos-playing. The drake armor set doesn't show up until much later anyway, for some reason, by which time I had my look. I've played through with a couple more characters but the first is still my favorite. Eleonara's Poleblade absolutely wrecks bosses, notably Malenia.
Haven't done a Yura cosplay run yet but I have done Eleonora and it was pretty fun. Her poleblade has such high bleed on it making most bosses a breeze.
Another fantastic video Chalice! 😄👍 I thought I'd heard and seen all of the Elden Lore at this point. I knew about Yura and Eleonora, got her blade and everything, but didn't know there was more dialogue with Yura at certain times. It gave them more character and life to their tragic tale. 😢
Enjoyed this vid, subscribed! Hope you cover the dlc content c: *questline spoiler* Was really sad when I seen him be piloted by Shabriri, I would've thought he'd hunt us if we became a bloody finger or recusant. I really liked my few encounters with Yura, lowkey saved me from that one invasion at low level.
The ONLY Channel that explains Elden Ring Lore in an extremely relaxing, calm and insightful way. Thanks Chalice for letting me know more about these hidden storylines that I never even knew existed. Congrats on 110k too 🎉
Im a simple man. i see a new chalice video, i click, i watch, and i like! Congrats on your 100k play button too!!! Thats awesome i remember back when i subbed after your first lore videos at like 1k :) love your videos cant wait for more!
The Bloodlust katana from DS3, which has the same seppuku weapon art, comes from pvp kills as the violet invaders as well. Tangentially related I suppose. Given that hint, it may have been that Elenora was a bloody finger when Yura met her, since the mound makers in DS3 are ambiguous. Perhaps its possible Elenora first invaded Yura while he was fighting a dragon and instead of attacking him watched/helped?
On cessblood, I'm not sure if you mention this possibility in like the next 15 seconds or not but well, yeah. If the idea that the blood he inject you with is Mohg's blood, calling it cessblood might just be a tie to the idea that Mohg is an Omen born from the golden lineage and thus supposed to reside in the Leindell sewers. That said, his whole religion or whatever you want to call it is based around the formless mother and tossing her blood around like it's going out of style so it would make sense for it to be hers, which would also explain why it hurts so much, because, like, it's on fire. In this case cessblood might just refer to the fact they taint their blood with the blood of an ostensibly hostile (to the established ruling class) outer god. That said, Yura appears to be all for the flame of frenzy (if we take Shabriri on his word that his body was 'donated' rather than appropriated). so hostility towards the formless mother simply on basis of her outer goddiness seem unlikely. Unless the flame of frenzy is taking issue with the shared fire theme. Edit: Further into the video, yeah, I don't really think the explicit origin of the blood matters to Yura, just that it's as corrupting influence. That said, if the word originated with someone else and it IS Mohg's blood, it might just be a reference to it being omen blood.
The purple invader part linked to the Violet Finger name was very interesting. This mechanic is also in Bloodborne if you are summoned as a cooperator but are in an opposing covenant of the host.
Words cannot express the pain and fury I felt when meeting Shabriri in my first playthrough. "He gave his body willingly to me." No he didn't. I have yet to have a playthrough where I do not kill Shabriri immediately. To give Yura the peace he deserves. (And to get his armor)
So early! Love your vids. When I played ER I turned over every rock, covered every inch. Or so I thought. I completely missed Yura until I read about him online! Tracing the outer edges of continents and cliffs is easy, but exploring densely populated areas it's easy to overlook things. Once I found him I thought it was actually a pretty obvious spot, but from certain angles on the outside it's just another crop of barren rock. Just goes to show how big this game is.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers! I've only recently discovered you. But I've watched near enough all your videos. Your knowledge of Elden Ring is amazing. Your way of telling it is elegant. Your voice is also soft and relaxing to hear. Almost Melina like haha. Can't wait to see your future content!
Another great video! Thank you for the great work as always. I cannot wait to see your reaction and breakdown of what's to come with the release of Shadow of the Erd Tree
Hi! Just a couple of things from me:
1.This video was made available EARLY for members and patrons! Lil incentive perk for generously supporting me ! Watching this video is more than support enough, and I'm really grateful!

So glad to see new videos from you. :)
Thank you! Your voice is so calming, the topics highly interesting. Combined, they keep me in a cozy state of a fuzzy limbo.
fyi, spaking as an italian, "cesso" is prononced like "chess" with an o at the end. The way you prononced it is actually the "sesso", meaning "sex".
Where you got that fashion tho?
You forgot to mention how dragon heart consumption inevitably turns the person into a Wyrm, and she may have chosen to be a bloody finger because Mohg made a deal to hold the transformation back so long as she serves him.
Which is sad, because even if our Ronin got what he wished for, she would just turn into a flightless, belly dragging Wyrm.
Which is truly the worst fate?
there is an interesting last detail theory about Eleonora
her bloodlust is so great, so strong, that she probably intent to betray her master and kill Luminary Mogh himself
upon her death, she drops her poleblade (coolest weapon) and the purifying crystal tear, used in the physic flask to nullify nothing more than Moghwyn's Bloodboon Rutial, his most dangerous attack
add on that she doesn't have the forehead trident tatoo that all other bloody fingers have
The amount of layers to each character and storyline in this game are incredible.
Moreover, Yura seemingly betrayed his own morality by giving himself to a different type of madness, if Shabriri is speaking true. Perhaps he felt that he had to in order to be any match for Eleonora, or to make use of Shabriri's powers of suggestion.

I also believe he voices the kaidens and the fire giant!
Yura is in my top 5 NPCs in this game..
His story , dedication and bravery drew me towards him as an character...
Who are the other 4?
Dung eater braver
A heroic character through and through, with a tragic tale to boot. A real soulsborne character
@@franciscocota6440 that’s a secret. 🤫
I somehow completely missed Agheel until endgame when I was backtracking for stuff I missed, but somehow still completed his quest line starting from the Nerijus battle. Love that so many character quests have extra non-mandatory encounters just for extra content.
i wish the mandatory encounters were more obvious tho
My first ever view of Elden ring was a dude getting mauled by a dragon

Yura's voice reminds me of Sean Bean...Boromir in the lands between
Makes sense. Sean Bean always dies tragically.
Aww you're right, he does sound like him! Love Boromir, what a great character
He's actually played by Shaun Dooley! King foltest in the Witcher netflix series and a fun fact he also voices the fire giant!
That's because they're both from Yorkshire, in the North of England. Shaun Bean is from Sheffield & I think Shaun Dooley is from Leeds or thereabouts.
Sean Bean is basically a medieval fantasy god at this point.

Probably my favourite character and quest line, so down to earth yet and gritty. Makes me want to come back to Sekiro and the land of reeds more often:)
I love listening to you. It's like ASMR but with interesting content.
I started Yura's quest, but I never fully completed it, and before I knew it, I was speaking to his body possessed by Shabriri... Xc I love all the lore videos and the work you put in them! It's very much well deserved, and I hope you keep making more lore videos!
Had to give you a 👍. I did not know about this quest with Yura, I only met him in Limgrave then later in the snow area where it's not him, but someone else. I've platinumed this game and still learn new things about it.
Congratulations on the 100k :D
Your voice is so calming, I sometimes get shivers from it, I wish you could narrate my life.
Much love from Germany!
Such a pleasure to hear your voice once again, keep the story telling and keep what you do best. ;)
Nah why your voice sound dis good? What da hell, how come I just found your channel? Both informative and good to listen to
Oh! I love your little plant light! So pretty!
Thank you!! It's like my mini-Erdtree hehe
Really nice work Chalice! 😄👍 I thought I had heard all of the lore for Elden Ring. I knew about Yura and Eleonora, got her pokeblade and everything, but didn't know there was more dialogue with Yura. It gave more character and life to his tragic tale.
Congrats on 110k 🤗 I discovered your channel fairly recently but I love your style of comfy lore vids
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Thank you for making them! Your voice is really relaxing, and the lore given is very helpful!
Yesss my Saturday just keeps getting better! Thanks for the video miss_chalice!
Yay! No problem! Please enjoy your weekend :)
@@miss_chalice I hope you do as well! Oh, and congratulations on 100k!
love makes you do some crazy stuff. great video, love the lore you dish out!!!
I absolutely love your storytelling, and the sound/cadence of your voice has such a soothing and easy to listen to quality. That being said, I'm upset with you today for making me cry over a fictional video game character's tragedy. 😂
Great video. Can you also explore the possible lore behind the yellough anix tunnel? It seems so mysterious with the signs of a great battle and the ghostly whispers throughout. You're one of my favorite Elden Ring RUclipsrs!
i love how some of yura's dialogue with regard to eleanora features double entendre which can either be interpreted romantically, or violently:
"i'm dying to see you." longing for her romantically? or is this a statement acknowledging that he will lose his life next they meet?
"it seems i am no match for you." to be sure, she bested him in battle, but could this mean he now understands he is no romantic match for her?
All of your videos are amazing, thank you for putting out this content!
I believe that his words about avoiding Eleonora might have a double edge. It might not've been for your safety alone, but rather, for the safety of the two people that he seemed to care about. He does show some genuine care by eventually lending his strength to your cause in something that he knows very well could potentially lead to your path to corruption. He might also have noted your potential, becoming increasingly more skilled as time passed on. He might've simply not wanted the chance of having to end up choosing one side or the other should it come down to you confronting Eleonora. He wanted to give himself the chance to get to her first.
japanese student heart, 心 "kokoro", has not really one of those word that can be used to mean multiple thing in english, it basically means heart without thinking to much about.
it can mean mind or soul when used in conjation with other kanji to mean something different, but as a stand alone word it basically means heart
Yura is one of my favorite characters in the game. Thanks for doing his story justice!
DAMN I feel so bad for him...I'm really loving your videos and SO glad I found your channel. I had NO idea how much depth there was to this game. I'm enjoying my second playthrough so much more than my first thanks to your help and understanding subtleties I completely missed the first time while just trying to survive...Poor Yura.....
Yay silver play button! Congrats! I always look forward to your content! Well deserved!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO MY REQUEST!!!
I've been doing a return playthrough to Elden Ring after not really enjoying it the first time around, never would've restarted if I hadn't seen your Fia video! I'm enjoying it so much more now, only problem is the more of your videos I see, the more quests I wanna do! Thank you :>
A really good and insightful video. Also congrats for the silver plaque 😄 Much deserved.
Great video Chalice!
Violet as a colour also has a significant significance in Japanese culture, being associated with warriors and strength - often symbolised with iris flowers - in fact at one point it was a faux Pas to give a Samurai any other flower than a purple iris (I looked again cos I was hoping the flower-like guards on Elenora's polearm might be violets or irises but I think it's pushing it to claim that)
As an italian myself I would’ve never imagined hearing the word “cesso” in a lore video. Btw (not to correct you or anything) the pronunciation of the word is “chesso” and, as often happens, more “vulgar” words directly come from latin. In this case the word “cesso” comes from the word “recessus” and the verb “recédere”, which basically means to go into a private place, without any “dirty” implications at all. It was only later on that people started using the term as an insult to someone, or something, implying that the “private place” was,in fact, the toilet. So if we interpret the word “cessblood” in a modern way, it surely refers to something dirty and filthy, but if we go back to the original meaning , it refers more to something almost “private”, or, if you prefer “hidden”, which is in my opinion perfectly in tune with the narrative of an hidden order, not easily accessible. Hope you found this interesting!
On Yura's line; "I cut off the finger", it's far more likely that he's talking about his own finger rather than Eleonora's, as he is talking to her, rather than about her.
It also makes sense that he's talking about himself, being a Ronin, he is without a master where once he had one, Mohg. As Mohg still lives, severing his own finger was walking away from his bloody oath, making him a blade without a master and he thus becomes his own master, following his own desire to liberate Eleonora from her own oath.
My first Elden Ring character was all about dragon incantations and Eleonara's Poleblade. I wasn't intentionally Eleonara cos-playing. The drake armor set doesn't show up until much later anyway, for some reason, by which time I had my look. I've played through with a couple more characters but the first is still my favorite. Eleonara's Poleblade absolutely wrecks bosses, notably Malenia.
Haven't done a Yura cosplay run yet but I have done Eleonora and it was pretty fun. Her poleblade has such high bleed on it making most bosses a breeze.
You deserve that plaque. Love your stories and the way you tell them.
Congratulations on the 100k subs, it's a real treat to watch your videos and see your ideas on Elden Ring lore, among other topics.
Another fantastic video Chalice! 😄👍 I thought I'd heard and seen all of the Elden Lore at this point. I knew about Yura and Eleonora, got her blade and everything, but didn't know there was more dialogue with Yura at certain times. It gave them more character and life to their tragic tale. 😢
Enjoyed this vid, subscribed! Hope you cover the dlc content c:
*questline spoiler*
Was really sad when I seen him be piloted by Shabriri, I would've thought he'd hunt us if we became a bloody finger or recusant. I really liked my few encounters with Yura, lowkey saved me from that one invasion at low level.
Can't believe Miss Chalice predicted that Messmer the Impaler would be wearing Eleonora's armor and made this video preemptively, well done!
I honestly really like your voice. "Behold, voice of an angel"..
Congrats on the !10k! Dude it's just so soothing to listen to you. Job well done!
That Ravenmount Assassin reminds me of a character out of Bloodborne, that first hunter that gives you your first Hunters Mark.
Congrats on 100k subscribers! Well deserved, and I hope many more will come!
Congratulations on 100k! Can't wait for the Elden Ring DLC and ALL that Content
Another great video, informative and well edited. Lovely outro music too.
The ONLY Channel that explains Elden Ring Lore in an extremely relaxing, calm and insightful way. Thanks Chalice for letting me know more about these hidden storylines that I never even knew existed. Congrats on 110k too 🎉
Im a simple man. i see a new chalice video, i click, i watch, and i like! Congrats on your 100k play button too!!! Thats awesome i remember back when i subbed after your first lore videos at like 1k :) love your videos cant wait for more!
I’m falling in love with these video essays
Are you using a modded armor set for the intro? because it looks dope
I used to play DS3 as a mad phantom that always tried to help but.... Made for awesome tense moments.
The Bloodlust katana from DS3, which has the same seppuku weapon art, comes from pvp kills as the violet invaders as well. Tangentially related I suppose. Given that hint, it may have been that Elenora was a bloody finger when Yura met her, since the mound makers in DS3 are ambiguous. Perhaps its possible Elenora first invaded Yura while he was fighting a dragon and instead of attacking him watched/helped?
Congratulations on 100k subs!
Thank you for the Story Analysis of Yura.
yo, your vids are sooooo impressive now. I am really proud of how far you have come. and i always love your cosplays too ❤
Thanks for making these. I do enjoy them!
Congrats on 100k! Thank you for another great story
So happy for you getting you silver button! Congratulations! I knew from your first video you would be a star! Gold button coming soon just you wait!
On cessblood, I'm not sure if you mention this possibility in like the next 15 seconds or not but well, yeah. If the idea that the blood he inject you with is Mohg's blood, calling it cessblood might just be a tie to the idea that Mohg is an Omen born from the golden lineage and thus supposed to reside in the Leindell sewers.
That said, his whole religion or whatever you want to call it is based around the formless mother and tossing her blood around like it's going out of style so it would make sense for it to be hers, which would also explain why it hurts so much, because, like, it's on fire. In this case cessblood might just refer to the fact they taint their blood with the blood of an ostensibly hostile (to the established ruling class) outer god. That said, Yura appears to be all for the flame of frenzy (if we take Shabriri on his word that his body was 'donated' rather than appropriated). so hostility towards the formless mother simply on basis of her outer goddiness seem unlikely. Unless the flame of frenzy is taking issue with the shared fire theme.
Edit:
Further into the video, yeah, I don't really think the explicit origin of the blood matters to Yura, just that it's as corrupting influence. That said, if the word originated with someone else and it IS Mohg's blood, it might just be a reference to it being omen blood.
Congratulations on 100K ❤!!
Great video. Fantastic narration and gripping storytelling.
How am I supposed to expand my mind with lore if I'm falling asleep from the gentle narrations
How Elenora's Poleblade doesnt do slash damage at all despite being two naginata combined is beyond me. Too OP i guess
Vaati be sleeping on lore, love the video!
Congrats on the channel growth!
Congrats on the subscriber milestone!
The purple invader part linked to the Violet Finger name was very interesting. This mechanic is also in Bloodborne if you are summoned as a cooperator but are in an opposing covenant of the host.
Congratulations on 100k lore mommy! We love you! ❤️
If you've ever had a personal relationship ruined by addiction, this hits you so goddamn hard.
I have been binge watching your videos all day. Wonderful work ❤️ Would love to see a video on Varré and Mohg
Words cannot express the pain and fury I felt when meeting Shabriri in my first playthrough. "He gave his body willingly to me."
No he didn't.
I have yet to have a playthrough where I do not kill Shabriri immediately. To give Yura the peace he deserves. (And to get his armor)
I love your content it's honestly the most detailed quest lore series told by the most beautiful content creator ❤❤❤
So early! Love your vids. When I played ER I turned over every rock, covered every inch. Or so I thought. I completely missed Yura until I read about him online! Tracing the outer edges of continents and cliffs is easy, but exploring densely populated areas it's easy to overlook things. Once I found him I thought it was actually a pretty obvious spot, but from certain angles on the outside it's just another crop of barren rock. Just goes to show how big this game is.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers! I've only recently discovered you. But I've watched near enough all your videos. Your knowledge of Elden Ring is amazing. Your way of telling it is elegant. Your voice is also soft and relaxing to hear. Almost Melina like haha. Can't wait to see your future content!
Love can be such a fickle bridge.
Congratulations on the 115k!
Another great video! Thank you for the great work as always. I cannot wait to see your reaction and breakdown of what's to come with the release of Shadow of the Erd Tree
