What’s the proof
Is it trust me bro 😂😂😂
The irony of the souls games
Seals away rot God
Trains and mentors rot host
What's the background music?
Melenia is a terminally sick woman who was taught how to fight by a blind man. She’s also the hardest boss in Elden Ring.
Is the same as artorias, whe fight with him when he is using his non dominant hand and he is posses by the abyss
And she's a blade of Miquella
She also seems to be blind herself
Hardest boss so far
She is litterally a dying amputee with what could be described as a fast acting cancer
Everyone in lands between:scarlet rot is uncurable
Random Merchant:i have the cure to the rot
The elden ring fbi:🤨
Her affliction is not the same thing the Tarnished get she's afflicted beyond cellular level she's basically afflicted to the soul even if her body rots away her soul is still infected with Scarlett rot🤣

Best incantation ever
You are literally burning away rotting parts of your body with that spell.
That is why the incantation deals damage to user.
With advanced rotting, it would just burn your entire body down, killing you regardless.
@@matiasluukkanen7718the incantation description states it deals dmg to remind you to fear the flame, not that it is necessary.
The saddest part about Melenia is that the scarlet rot devoured almost her entire body, losing her own eye sight, right arm and legs, worse part is she was never able to see Miquella’s face ever again
I wouldn't call Malenia a blind fighter honestly.... Here's why tho :
1- She did loose many of her organs true , but because she's a fearless accurate swordsman demi-god while having a great rune of the Elden Ring.
2- Malenia's sensei/mentor was a blind-man swordsmen... The one mentioned in this video the swordsmen who has the fairy flowing sword. ( Notice that flowing sword has a similar Malenia move-sets , being flowing and lethal ).
3- Scarlet Aeonia the flower of which the Rot keeps malenia pretty powerful , is probably the secret behind malenias powerful and accurate precision when facing the Tarnished. ( Malenia is a fearless boss , and also un-defeated a flawless boss pretty much prior to our story when we counter her ). Those are some obvious indications on how maybe malenia might haven't seen Miquella , but she also has a connection with her bro miquella with those Powers etc... Hence the nickname "Malenia , Blade of Miquella". A dedicated empyrean flawless haligtree knight. 💯
@@omaralajmi1551 You said you wouldn’t call Malenia a blind fighter, and to prove your point you stated random facts about Malenia, how does anything that you’ve just said oppose the idea that she’s a blind fighter?
@@ghamdi7077 I mean she's only visibly disabled , however she's more than capable of sensing everything against her along with the terrain etc... So technically she is blind , but not practically at the sametime.
The God of Rot hasn't influenced malenia , unlike the kindreds of Rot followers and servents.... Meanwhile , Malenia has Unalloyed Gold armor which resists the god of rot influence , but she's only sick from the rots disease mainly.... Pretty much. She's an empyrean at the end of the day.
@@ghamdi7077 I have a solid comparison here , look at all the Kindreds of rot servants they all are mindless and just are consumed while praying to the god of rot... Meanwhile malenia is fully concious , she still holds her oaths for Miquella , she understands everything etc. So she is only sick with insane Powers while not being influenced.
Look at General Radhan , he is completely a monster who doesn't speak ( And a cannibal actually who eats the corpses of the dead warriors inside the festival arena ground , the scarlet rot completely rendered him an animal making him loose his mind , concious , speech etc ). Only thing Radhan still holds is his horse Leonhard..... So malenia yes she is blind , but not metaphorically in a sense. 😁 Not to even mention Malenia has some pretty accurate attacks like her Clone slashes etc... She can clearly see you in a sense. I think it's close to whats going on tying it up to the Lore aswell.
@@omaralajmi1551 u r not making much sense. Malenia is blind. She can't see, as she has no eyes. That's what blindness is. The fact that she or the blind swordsman can fight despite being blind doesn't change the fact that they are blind. Blind only means not being able to see. No relation to combat effectiveness. Simple as that. There is no shame either. Kinda makes me respect her more that à blind & also crippled fighter is so ridiculously strong. If Malenia had her curse cured somehow, she will be nigh unbeatable.
Malenia should have just eaten a few preserving boluses, skill issue on her part

ong
Fr tho she stupid
Let me solo her!? Is that you?!
lmao hahahaha
For those that don't know, Miquella created the Haligtree as his curse was to be forever young, so he created it to grow into an adult and purge the Rot from his sister.
it was an attempt to cast out his emperean flesh and ascend into godhood. he realized he couldnt do it with the haligtree so he returned to the lands that merika ascended at. and he followed in her footsteps.
So, Marika boned herself as Radagon, and because the universe couldn't decide If that's Masturbation or Peak incest, the Kid got cursed with an infection
That's a wild way to say it, tho it's not wrong
Yes
Basically Radagon was a portion marika didn't like so she yeeted it away. Eventually she needed it again and did peak masterbation
Mogh beat the allegations
No, no… they got a point
The God of rot? Blind swordsman? Man, that would be some great stuff to get in a DLC or expansion.
Pls no i dont want waterfowl 2 blind man bogaloo

@@JokerShiranuiIt's all fun and games until the blind guy does the seabird shuffle
Well well well
Now rot! And so Miquella tried to cure his sister and Malenia swore to be his sword
Also, the Outer God of Rot is likely a lord of invertebrates, as not only is its sacrificial dagger a ‘Scorpion’s stinger,’ the Antspur Rapier also causes Rot buildup, and the Kindred resemble man-sized prawns.
Don’t forget the wings on Malenia’s penitent knights, which gives a vibe of ants serving a queen.
the scorpion's stinger was the tail of the actual god of rot's vessel, the rot's version of Marika, which was killed by the aforementioned "water swordsman" that trained malenia
@@on_the_inverse_5193 Not killed. Sealed away underneath the Lake of Rot.
@@crackededge9351 judging by the fact that part of its body is now a knife, i'd be willing to hedge my bets its probably dead
@@on_the_inverse_5193 the vessel is definetly dead since melania is its replacement but the outer god definetly isnt for the same reason
@@on_the_inverse_5193if someone loses an arm are they automatically dead?
So is it safe to say the God of Rot needed a cursed child like Malenia ? She's often considered a full "Goddess of Rot" and it's God takes the form of a scorpion (don't remember wich item says that) and this animal is always connected to transformation (= her butterfly stage) and survival no matter what. I like the idea of Malenia being chosen by the Scorpion of Rot as it's new form, instead of "just" being cursed with rot. We saw that Radhan went mad when afflicted with it but weirdly, Malenia doesn't seems THAT insane and idk I might be wrong cause I'm not the best lore hunter but for me it feels like instead of her Two Fingers, Malenia had the God of Rot. PS: I can totally imagine her own Two Fingers completely rotted similar to Ranni's bloody Fingers or the one completely dead on top of a Divine Tower.
Scorpion’s Stinger is the dagger by the by
Well the reason that Radahn didn’t die from the rot is because of his great rune so that could be why he was effected weirdly
@@tbgamer2574 he’s also much bigger and stronger than any enemy that has ever been touched by rot. Rememeber a single blind swordsmen, not a demi god, is the legend that sealed away the rot god. Malenia is simply a perfectly created vessel for the rot god just as marika was a perfect vessel to contain the greater will who controls the elden ring in the modern age. I believe each outer god has their own way of gaining control over reality and that is to first find a host, (possibly grow an erdtree equivalent like miquella and the old erdtree that’s underneath the current one) make them a vessel for your will and than somehow obtain the actual elden ring in order to rewrite reality in whatever way the particular outer god wanted.
The God of Rot does not take form of a scorpion. Scorpion stinger is called relic of the God of Rot. Technically, this could mean many things.
So it could be that God of Rot has Elden Beast type of eldritch vassal that is huge arthropod, or that scorpions are sacred animals to God of Rot.
Greater Will is connected with trees, but nobody says that the entity is giant tree.
@@matiasluukkanen7718 what you are saying is that we don’t know for certain what exactly the stinger is meant to be. It’s odd that you conclude then that the stinger isn’t from the god itself. It could be, but we can’t be certain, as you said.
The way I see it, it very much mirrors how the Elden Ring possesses beings. Perhaps the scorpion was the vessel for the God of Rot in the same way Malenia is now, much like how a dragon used to be the vessel for the Elden Ring which is now held in Marika.
And then her little brother who tried SO DAMN HARD to cure her...Ended up getting kidnapped and turned into some blood child for his uncle to marry and bring back a different outer god of blood. Which probably didn't work either considering we murder said uncle.
But now the DLC poses some new questions of the fate of dear Miquella
I thought Miquella was older?
@@davidnewhart2533they're twins but i think Malenia is way taller
Miquella is cursed, he doesnt age.
Mohg is Miquella’s half brother, not uncle. Still super messed up lol
Classic Mohglester
First off, cool elden ring lore
Therefore, praise the message!
Didn't expect friendly like!
Fort Night?

God saw what Marika and Radagon were doing and were like hell nah, and curse their children so they don't self multiply more.
With the dlc there seems to be two main sources of rot.
The outer god of rot, who has cursed malenia and is currently sealed in the Lake of rot
And Romina, saint of the bud. Who spread rot in response to messmer's crusade
Man, that blind swordsman was an absolute badass.
The fact that even with a medieval looking cyborg outfit and blindness she can still fight like that is just insane truly the definition of a god if elden ring was real she would automatically be the greatest swords person to ever live besides the MC
Wow finally someone who’s able to break things down in a way that’s not super confusing. Thanks 🤝
There are also the Sacramental Buds which are found throughout The Lands Between, may of which are in Caelid; like the whopping 15 you find around Church of the Plague.
Millicent also has the ability to invade you in the Scarlet Aeonia if you haven't met her yet. At this point in time she has two arms and when defeated drops 5 Sacramental Buds.
This implies that Millicent was born of the Sacramental Buds. This is strengthened by her words in the Prayer Room Grace:
"Again we meet. I can only surmise our purposes are aligned. In which case, allow me to explain myself. I am of Malenia's blood. But in what capacity I know not. I could be sister, daughter, or an offshoot... Whatever the case though, I am certain of a kinship between us."
Malenia produces these buds, so Millicent is exactly correct in her percieved relation to Malenia. One could even see her like a flower that has self-pollinated.
Gowry also continuously describes Millicent as a bud. Millicent's sisters are just other buds.
A big important part is for Millicent and her kin to be wounded in battle. This parallels "pruning" plants in real life, where you cut it to encourage new growth or even cloning the plant by planting the cuttings.
This is why Millicent invades you, she was just born and maddened by Rot with the sole purpose to be cut. After you give her the Unalloyed Gold Needle the Rot's progression has ceased killing her. This allows some of her memory and sanity to regain.
Upon reaching the point of deciding to kill Millicent or her sisters, Gowry asks that you help the sisters kill Millicent. The loss in battle coupled with your betrayal, along with the Unalloyed Needle still being within Millicent would allow her to survive the ordeal and turn into a Scarlet Valkyrie when Malenia ascends to godhood, or she will replace Malenia. If you instead help Millicent, Gowry laments about how Millicent removed the Needle and disowned the Kindred of Rot, supposedly as Malenia did.
Sacramental buds are made by Miquella. Miquella's blood is blood of rejuvenation, and he experimented with consecrated buds in preparation to Haligtree, (which was also watered with his blood).
Miquella creates Bewitching Branches, Consecrated Buds, and Haligtree. That is his motif.
We even find buds in Miquella's hideout.
@@matiasluukkanen7718 bruh what
@@quailfeather LMFAOOO
This lore is so convoluted . But I love it
It's interesting detail that, her master swordsman teaches her that to stop scarlet rot from spreading, she can't stop moving. That explains why she's so well trained and agile blade user and her combos, thus waterfall, are so perfect and deadly. Even during the Malenia fight, she's in constant move and her skillet relies on it, she even has the shortest stagger in the game. And when we beat her at phase 1 she's on the ground lying, Malenia blossoms 3rd time, therefore changing her title from "Malenia, blade of Miaquella" to "Malenia, god of scarlet rot"
I’m loving your brief lore dives!
I like that you in no way shape or form answered the question you asked at the start

Hey man how bad do you wanna be miquellested? 😂
Oh boy...who's gonna tell him about the DLC now?
I just realized something. The god of rot probably didn't just choose Malenia for her Empearyn status alone. But to spite the mortal man who had defeated it, to curse him to watch as his student was devoured by the pestilence he fought. As she weakened becoming no more but a tool for the rot. Adds a whole new layer of sadness, a teacher watching helplessly as his star pupil was consumed.
She was cursed from birth, so I don't think that's quite right. The swordsman probably saw that Malenia was cursed and decided to teach her. Perhaps so she could resist the rot better, or perhaps out of pity.
@@masonjohnson4310alright yours does make more sense thx for the info even tho I'm late asf
mate, vid literally says she was cursed from birth.
Little off on the lore it says the mentor taught maleina and she sealed the rot god herself thus making herself the new rot entity
So I always thought when seeing all those kindred at the bottom of lake of rot, praying to the chest with the scorpion tail dagger… I was like “oh shit I bet the scarlet rot outer god is like a quelaag scorpion chick!!!” And then we get Romina! Iiiiinnnteressting
Who could have guessed that all Miquella needed to do to cure his sister was ask old man Placi to help them
As somebody that did not finished the game yet, it's like listening to a video in an unknown language.
Honestly. No chance of getting spoiled if you can't understand a thing anyway.
Iirc, that's kinda the intention lol
The director of the game mentioned that part of his inspiration for the game is playing old western RPGs in English, which he did not understand at the time.
I can speedrun curing malenia as miquella.
Do the grab attack on the rot god thingy twice so it would admire you.
Or use boluses
Fun fact: Siofra and Ainsel are both real life names of fairies and both have their respective fairtytales!
So Aisnel would be the flowing river fairy that taught the blind swordsman to seal the rot god at the very end of the Ainsel river? At the lake of rot?
Do you have a video on the creation of the albinuracs? I can't seem to find much in game other than that they are viewed outside of the erdtree because they were "made". What???
The people of the lands between created abrinaics (not sure who ), which the golden order hates
Malenia was cursed to be susceptible to influence from the outer gods, she was just chosen by the God of Rot since it was sealed away recently
Elden ring is a great game but it’s so complicated trying to keep up with the lore while completing the game!I never had this problem before since I enjoy reading the lore!It’s almost like they purposely try to make the lore as difficult as possible to understand
Marika didnt have a consort so she said fuck it ill do it myself 😂
Radagan was probably another, independent being and at some point Marika merged into him.
Everyone says radahn is stronger then malenia. But she was blind, and only had one arm. Imagine if she wasn’t so handicapped. She at least tied with radahn at his peak. Only reason we beat her, is she was still recovering
Being blind probably wasn't a handicap, her master was also blind and defeated the god of rot. Their whole fighting style is probably based around having that disability while focusing more on the other senses. Her prosthetic arm actually saved her from injury during her fight with Radahn and it also houses her blade for quick access and provides more stability. She needed rot powers to bring the fight to a standstill, and even then Radahn still held up the stars after losing his mind and fought countless warriors afterwards while doing so. Malenia was dragged back to the haligtree, fell into a coma, couldn't protect miquella, and ultimately acomplished nothing. Then we beat her in her full goddess of rot form. Radahn is the GOAT
My initial personal headcanon (that is no longer valid once I learned more lore) was that the Haligtree was hastily created to be a replacement for the waning Erdtree (which governs and bestows life), and is as such the source of the scarlet rot beings. It was an artificial life tree created by man/demigods and watered with the blood of a cursed infant, and as such produced cursed life.
I feel like this is way more interesting than "an outer god did it", but the text says otherwise.
If you think about the gold, it's similar to the bloodborne dlc armor the describes the metal wrapping around the leg, and only one leg, because the beast plague creeps up the leg.
The difference is that unalloyed gold WORKS. Also how does this swordsman not have a name anywhere?
No rot is actually a part of the elden ring so the order can’t cure itself actually is every outer god is represented by the elden ring ins one capacity except the greater will
Spoiler:
*Queen of the Bud boss in the DLC invented it after her temple was sacked*
How does the swordsman meeting rad and malenia connect?
The answer lies in the paternity test bro
The lore of Elden Ring is awesome.
Let me solo her : Which Rot ?
I don't think that Miquella and Malenia were born cursed. But being children of one God made them Empyrean (as we all know) which made them "vulnerable" for the influence of an Outer God, which in Malenia's case was the God of Rot.
Which God took hold of Miquella however we can't tell. Maybe St. Trina.
My theory is that Malenia and Miquella were cursed due to the great rune of the unborn being with Rennala, as Radagon left that before having the twins.
Am I the only one who was remined of Gywn from Dark Souls 1 when fighting Midra? I genuinely love both of these fights and to me the mechanics feel so similar
Scarlett, Rot. All of the bandits of the badlands seem to have red or scarlet colored hair (or at least those who are decended from Radahn) and even the champion's bandit class seems to have a lock of his hair on the armour. I wonder if Calid is the badlands and if they named it scarlet rot because it blighted all the scarlet haired warriors and chieftains of the Badlands.
Caelid only became afflicted by scarlet rot recently.
Godfrey was "hounded" from Lands Between with his followers, and Lands Between includes Caelid. So Godfrey was chieftain of Badlands that exist somewhere outside of Lands Between.
Furthermore, red hair is stated to be racial trait of fire giants, inherited by Radagon and northerners, implied to be half-breeds.
The blind swordsman also taught malenia how to help reduce the effects of scarlet rot on herself
Can't we give Melania the needle thing from Melina's questline
You're probably thinking of Millicent and the needle we give her.
malenia already has analloyed gold on her, putting on an extra needle wouldn't do anything if that's what you're talking about
Only stalls its progress which is why she wears unalloyed gold.
The Outer god of rot has got to be my fav Outer god
-not a kindred rot creature
Yes but... you didnt explain where it came from, the original, how malenia got the Scarlet rot...
She was born with it, because her mom and dad are same person. He explained.
@NotSoBrokenHearted I know the lore, I did my research. Though it doesn't explain how or why a child of a single god should get the influence of a total different god
@vale nik i think its implied that its somehow sinful to bear a child as one person, i dont know why melenia and miquella both got curses though. Im sure that info is somewhere, and if not, it may be explained in the upcoming dlc
@@goopy9068 it's not a sin 🤣
As i said i know my lore.
They didn't explain it, the video is just a clickbait
@valenik9478 yeah, i've been wanting to know how the fuck the god of rot ended up inside her for a couple of weeks now but no lore video about malenia talked about it, at this point i just assume the god of rot chose her because she's an empyrean so it's his best chance of achieving control over the lands between
Wish the DLC would have told us more about the blind swordsman maybe even a mini boss fight I wish you would have talked more about the outer gods too
Just give her some preserving boluses lol
“Incurable rot” laughs in tarnished
…what?
I just wanted to clarify. Messmers existence debunks Malenia and Miquella's sicknesses because from his Red hair it appears that the Shadow land was a failed attempt of self reproduction resulting in Radagon and Marikas personalities conflicting with each other and Messmers heresy.
The lands between is basically a sandbox for the main gods of the game and their forces influence everything. The scarlett rot is a byproduct of the god of rot and she got it was he said through interbreeding and the curse fell onto them. This was because marika needed a child of her own race to become her successor and therefore split into 2 to do so.
It is also said that the second time Malenia blooms with scarlet rot, she becomes the "Goddess of Rot". This happens when we fight her. She also loses her Unalloyed Gold Needle, which probably meant that she might've been taken from the Outer Gods. Still, there's a lot of unknowns and it's not impossible to see her again in the future
Given how it looks, its incurability. and that it affects powerful gingers, ive always had it in my head its just eldritch excema
You explain everything so well and yet I’m still confused…
Adding to this: Romina who uses Magenta rot a seemingly more potent and pure Form
I think the magenta comes from the butterflies being accepted and cared for by Romina while Malenia rejects the rot and abandons her children (the kindred). However Malenia’s rot still inflicts more damage, at least from a gameplay standpoint.
Great game! She's the only boss I haven't beat . Maybe one day I will.
Imagine if elden ring ends up getting more.dlcs where we fight the outer gods
If only she had leveled Faith she'd be able to use Flame, Cleanse Me and heal it herself. Git Gud Malenia.
You realize Flame Cleanse Me works by burning away rotting parts of your body? This causes damage to the caster.
Imcantation works on us because we are merely starting to rot away, so we suffer only slight damage.
But if your body is mostly made of rot, and thoroughly infested?
There would not be anything left of her if she burned the rot away.
You have an awesome voice for documentaries
I feel like Marika removing The Rune Of Destined death, kind of spelled the end of the golden order before could even properly start, Rot cannot give way to rebirth if what it is rotting cannot truly die and decompose, Thus Scarlet Rot affliction is much more serious than It has to be, the god of rot probably became as powerful as they are because of how unbalanced the order became. On a sidenote, since the definition of insanity is repetition of the same thing over and over again and things in the land between and the land of shadow never truly died due to the absence of Destined death that’s probably why the Outer of madness is so influential as well.
This was a lot of lore in one video. Subbed
Well, the Malenia is also directly referred to as the Goddess of Scarlet Rot, which can even rot your soul, and is fundamentally seperate from the outer god of rot, who was just of poison and decay, malenias rot is part of her as a demigod, its not a curse entirely, its the divinity she was born with, the outer god has no sway over her and no influence over scarlet rot, scarlet rot is entirely malenias, and the pests worship her. They were born from aeonia, which was when she bloomed. The pest ashes say they were forsaken by their god. Malenia forsook them, since she doesn't want scarlet rot to even exist.
I can only imagine what hell of a swordsman that guy would have been
'Incurable rot sickness', you say?
A real shame... If they'd been a bit more accepting of the Fire Monks, they'd be all well and fine. After all, the most basic of remediating spells in their repertoire can alleviate the rot.
Fun fact: If I’m not mistaken that same god was sealed in Malenia.
One of the best Elden ring yt channels ❤️❤️❤️
Where did you find “cursed at birth” 🤨 Almost everyone else seems to agree that she’s afflicted with rot because the Outer God of Rot realised her Empyrean body to be usable for his manifestation in the lands between, not because they’re “cursed at birth”. And why do the curses differ so heavily? One suffers an outer god’s influence, one remains as a child, one has a messed eye, one has a primordial serpent?
there is a misconception about how rot is curable with boluses or flame cleanse me. Rot can be of different stages, at some point it becomes uncurable. Malenia though has an ultra terminal stage of rot because she is goddess of rot, that deity seems to either “bless” her or directly take place in her body
besides scarlet rot is manifestation of stagnation and our tarnished only stagnates once player leaves the game and never finishes it. That could be the reason why you never get afflicted beyond repair
Malenia should just learn "flame cleanse me. " 😊
This still doesnt technically say where it comes from. Its theorized that the rot comes from space and fallingstar beasts/astel is connected to it. Hence why Radahn tried to conquer the stars to thwart these beings from crashing down on earth.
Everything comes from the stars, except Beastmen, the original inhabitants of land between.
Every stonelike lifeform from ancient dragons to Alabaster Lords is alien. Numen traveled here from other worlds and bred with beasts to create demi-humans, and those evolved into humans.
But Rot seems to be NATIVE to lands between between because Outer God of Rot in fact dwells here, and not in space or some weird dimension. In stark comparison to all other Outer Gods.
Greater Will, in comparison, lives thousands of light-years away.
The whole radagon and marika being the same person still makes zero sense to me 🤣. Love every Soulsborne game, despite knowing very little of the stories lol
It’s a living thing…like mushrooms but it’s like some ancient God Lovecraftian influence. In short, an outer God.
Malenia: is dying from the rot
Radahn: tanks it while holding uo the stars and making sure leonard is safe
İ think haligtree is not for the malenia. But for the Miquella, he closed himself on the egg that will cure his curse (being child forever) but when malenia left the tree for battle with radahn mohg came to haligtree and steal the egg and try to cure with Blood. This is why malenia say "i waited for his return" she didnt know that mohg steal the egg, she thinks Miquella left the egg in his new body and leave her
Malenia wasn't cured by Miquella he found a way to sustain the Rot progression but if Malenia didn't have her brothers inventions she would rot away.
the concept of "Outer Gods" in a god-strewn landscape is very cool
The water dancer swordsman sealed the outer god away beneath the Lake of Rot that we have to wade through after Ainsel River
Fromsoft really loves making us feel bad for characters we kill
You have scarlet rot
Tarnished: flame cleanse me
Malenia:his power is beyond my understanding
I see all the jokes about preserving boluses and flame cleanse me, but it makes me wonder if there is some lore to this, and that tarnished are affected by rot differently than most people.
I wonder if we'll get any new info about Outer Gods in the DLC. Imagine even getting a glimpse of their appearance, that would be so cool.
I still think training sessions between The Blind Swordsman and Malenia would be comedy gold. BS: "Are you following my lead?" Malenia: "I think so...?"
The moment he said "Malenia blade of miquella", it triggerd my PTSD
My question that I have never really looked into before. Is that since Merika and Radagon are the same person? Was Radagon just running off into the night getting railed by Godfrey or is one of those situations from that movie Malignant and her face was behind his face and one one is awake at a time? But then how would it work with them doing the sweet in the sheet..? So many questions. One day I’ll look up a lore video on how that works lol
I mean... you just said it in the first like 5 seconds, it was a god that got sealed away, but then Scarlet rot still happened because.... Life finds a way, I guess.
This story could be a game of it's own
The question is how did the Outer God of Rot manage to infect Malenia when she was just an embryo inside Marika’s womb? Doesn’t really make sense. My head canon is Malenia was born normal her sister Melina and her brother Mesmer, she was trained by the Blue Swordsman and one day went on a mission with him to seal away the Lake of Rot (what this means is also another question. Was there a portal that opened up underground in the Dynast’s ruins which spewed liquid rot from the God of Rot? Who knows) anyway as the Blue Swordsman successful sealed away this portal some of the liquid rot hit Malenia and she got infected with it with no known cure at the time.
Miquella Is probably the only person In elden ring you could call a protagonist like holy shit the amount of influence he had over the course of the land between after the shattering is commendable, trying his best to save his family and defying the golden order to make a better hope only to be kidnapped by Mohg, I really hope the dlc would give us a new ending helping him making a new age like Ranni's ending
Bet he is going to be a villian. Dude gives off cult leader vibes especially with those bewitching branches.
@@lightningrose3654You called it
@User-es3em Really?! Damn. I was hoping I was wrong because it was way to obvious.
I couldn't finish the DLC I talked to two people in the Land of Shadows and had already lost my sanity hearing "Kind Miquella."
It also wasn't as attention grabbing as the base game. I think they should have made the Land of Shadow be opened by a cutscene right after killing Mohg.
@lightningrose3654 You're right and wrong. Miquella wasn't a villain at the beginning, he becomes once overtime as he pursues the path of power and godhood. Miquella was good and became evil to become a god
@@User-es3em Miquella isn't a villain but still an antagonist! It's honestly very pitiful, he broke off everything he have of himself to ascend godhood, you can view fighting him at the end as him being evil after everything he did, but I honestly think we're saving him from his fate, St Trina begs you to kill him because being a god is just a prison and the promised he whispers won't even last long.
he's becoming like his own mother Marika, making a better world for everyone even if they have to sacrificed everything and everyone and look how it turns out now If Miquella become a god he will repeat the same mistake again and hence why we stopped him, It's honestly sad we can't convinced him because how he abandoned every single bit of his body and have no more reasoning.
I'm honestly glad there isn't an annoying twist where he is just evil and selfish, he just truly believe him becoming a god will make the world better but blinded by any reason on what his fate will be. I'm very satisfied how the story is and how it is told.
That doesn't explain it. You just go from, they sealed it away too, since Marika and Radagon were the same person, Millennia and Miquella were cursed. So essentially, where does scarlet rot come from. An ancient outer god. Because it literally doesn't matter if M and M will just, be cursed for seemingly no reason, and if the reason is, because Marika and Radagon are the same person then why, and the why is important, does 2 beings sharing anybody result in rot? And why
If the Blind Swordsman was the one who sealed the God of Rot, did Marika seek him out AFTER her first bloom? And did he feel like he owed it to Marika to teach her since the outer god was supposed to be sealed yet manifested in Malenia’d cursed birth?
fun fact, it was the blind swordsman who taught milenia the waterfowl dance attack
