"SIR GIDEON OFNIR THE ALL-KNOWING!" goes way too hard
Perhaps it has to do with the narrator giving voice to Gideon in the actual game? Im not sure, perhaps its only my wrong impression, but If so then it makes sense how doew the guy brings empowerment to the line spelling Sir Gideon Ofnir! The All Knowing!!!
@@FalcondelSur i did some research and it's actually an entire different character we never see...basically just a narrator
@@bigjohnson10 ooohhhhhh, great to know!
Didn't know that he should have brought more than 1 estus tho lmao
@@bearok89 it would had helped to stop talking to the tarnished while being smashed the first 15 seconds or so,lol, save the nice backstory telling for later!
You only realize how brilliant this cutscene is after you‘ve beaten the game.
They were pretty much telling us straight up who Hoarah Loux is from the start. The lion's face is a dead giveaway.
And yet, by the time you've either gotten his Talisman or gotten to the end, it's been somewhere between 40-100 hours of gameplay.
I completely forgot about him from the intro. His big reveal and who he was related to blew my fucking mind.
Faaaacts
@@FireTalon24
My reaction to Hora Loux's reveal went as followed:
"Wait...Hora Loux? That sounds really famil-holy shit you're the first dude mentioned in the intr-" *gets grand slammed to death*
@@joshuakim5240 Oh yeah, he throws you around like a fucking football.
Every squad got the:
-Hoarah Loux, chieftain of the badlands
-the ever-brilliant Goldmask
-Fia, the deathbed companion
-the loathsome Dung Eater
-Sir Gideon, the all-knowing
-A Tarnished of no renown
To translate
-Gymbro
-Weird Kid (conspiracy theorist)
-Femboy
-The Racist
-Group Leader (smart ass)
-That one dude that always hangs with squad but always silent

Calling him Dung-Eater is like calling a guy who shoots a man with a gun, sexually defiles his corpse on live television, and starts claiming that heaven is real and he just made sure that the guy he killed isn’t getting in, The Shoplifter.

"We've gathered all these renowned people and one random loser nobody"
Random loser nobody who has the rare ability of seeing the guidance of grace
Waste of skin
I think the player also had some hidden details depending on the class but the nobody wrench more blank…
To be honest, I think that makes the nobody all the scarier. The fact that he / she is amongst such legendary / infamous company, yet you know absolutely nothing about them or what they will / will not do. You know they must be stupidly powerful, but how much danger you're in at any given time is something you just cannot gauge at all with them. "The devil you know" and all that.
@@NomDatBass Well no, there's many other unknown Tarnished like you, it just means that you are one of the potential people to make a name for themselves and become something.
"Arise now, ye Tarnished."
Man, the chills
More like...
"AAAAHHHHHH......RISE NOOOOWW, YE TARNISHED!"
“UuuGGg 😩😩…RISE”
*ohh...* Rise now. Ye, tarnished.
Ye dead, who yet live

Yeah, I was wondering what the heck was up with that guy and the snake crawling over him. That snake really grew up to be a big boy.
I’m really glad they didn’t name drop the demigods, coming back with context feels a lot better

I love how he lists all these epic fantasy names and titles and then right in the middle you get "AND THIS NASTY LAD WHO EATS POOPOO!"
And then it turns out the Dastardly Doodie Devourer is legitimately one of the scariest characters in the game.

THE SICKENING SHIT SNACKER
Love how instead of being told from a bystander perspective, like in Dark Souls, it feels like the narrator is actually emotionally involved, because it's "his" world. It sounds more like an appeal to the Tarnished than a history lesson, which is a nice change of pace.
nice insight
@@SeekSeekLest Good point, makes you wonder who that guy actually is if he lived through all of it from the very beginning
I thought it was too structurally similar to DS3's intro.
I think it’s because the shattering is more recent than the cataclysms of dark souls. In dark souls it’s been so long and the fire has been linked and reset so many times that there is barely anyone alive who remembers the kingdoms former glory. While in elden ring the shattering happened relatively recently compared to other fromsoft games.
@@datguyleon7871 the shattering was roughly a year prior to the events in Elden Ring, according to the story trailer. Could be any random
"The loathsome Dung Eater"
W-We literally just have a guy who eats shit?
...well,
To be fair, Hollow Knight _did_ have a "Dung Defender" of sorts. He was quite literal in what he did, and what he was.
Elden Ring's
"Dung Eater"...? (Who the narrator calls "loathsome"...)
_Could_ have more to do with - -I don't know - -
Eating meat? •Like those 'Death eaters' from the Harry Potter series.

“Arise, ye tarnished.” The absolute emotion that is displayed by the voice actor. Whoever they cast deserves a raise.
The way he says "arise" is actually quite bad and makes me wonder if the script he read said "Ahh, rise ye tarnished"
he did say rise

You know it's good narration when you feel a tingle everytime the narrator raises his voice. This is what a dark fantasy cinematic openening should feel like. I can say nothing else but superb.
It's the music that does this. It's good composition
@@d.a.5845 agreed
Like a Hitler speech. He would basically whisper until he got to his point.
Honestly man. I am a sucker for dark fantasy games. This shit is so satisfying to watch.
@@d.a.5845 it couldn’t possibly be a well executed combination of elements could it. Saying it’s just the music that makes it work is stupid
The way he calls the tarnished in makes it feel like he is calling them and not just quoting Marika. It’s beautiful.
So the narrator is Radagon?

They seriously couldn't have picked a different name? 😂 he could of been more badass without the name Dung Eater
2:29 is what gives me the most chills. How tf Godfrey/Hoorah Loux manage to not only get killed, but also crucified? What was in the Bad Lands that was powerful enough to kill Hoorah Loux? That’s what interests me the most. We definitely need a dlc that lets us live through the Long March.
I wholeheartedly agree with this
Lord Reizart I feel like it's more of like the people outside the Lands Between gathered together and put a stop to him. I mean, he was banished, correct? Him and his men were war-hungry, and most likely terrorized the other lands, which would eventually result in his demise.
@@glovedgamer4982 I don’t think their need for war was directed towards innocents, or peaceful people/living beings. We can safely assume that Godfrey was open minded, as he doesn’t resent us tarnished, and loves his son Morgott, despite him being an omen. If I had to guess, he probably didn’t want to banish Morgott/Mohg, but Marika had more leverage/political power.
Nepheli Loux also seems to have a strong moral compass, seeing as she shows regret towards the banished knight she killed, i.e. her saying something along the lines of “you were a fine warrior, but chose the wrong master to serve”. She definitely did not agree with Godrick’s rule. We also see that she heavily disdained the slaughtering of the albinaurics, enough for her to leave Gideon.
@Black Iron Tarkus While yes, he didn't war against those he wasn't told to, Marika specifically told him to wage war against those outside the Lands Between.
The camera killed him
I love how the music calms when you are introduced. The tarnished and the God’s have names. They have legacy. But you don’t, not yet. You will earn your theme.
And that's makes us the scariest of them all because I'm like 99% certain the greater will revived us as a last resort
The voice acting in this cinematic is so on point! especially when Gideon comes into shot, the way he says all knowing.
I love this game so much!
Yeah but he doesn't know jack, you have to tell him about half the demigods and at the end he doesn't even have a great rune yet he demanded you retrieve one to prove yourself
yea this game is awesoem ritght friend
Reminds me of that one line ulfric had in skyrim
@@benglaser1345 until you fight him and he starts using every spell in the game...fits the description I'd say.
@@jaggerjackize all knowing after you beat all the bosses that give him that magic
the use of paintings for an opening cinematic was unexpected but VERY fitting. It does the job just as good as their usual pretty animations
dude agreed. I managed to avoid this before the release and it left me absolutely floored at midnight.
Absolutely disagree, found it very underwhelming and didn't set me up for the game at all.
@@applecorp that sucks for you bro. That shit left goosebumps on me the whole way through. Definitely my favorite intro by them, followed by DS3
@@applecorp it fits perfectly, it’s like a fairy tale being narrated, which is exactly the vibe elden ring gives off, a dark fairy tale
@@liljay3019 Sucks for you that you have such low standards. Still frames with a bit of narration? Come on guy 😂🤣
Arise now, ye soulstubers
Ye gamers who yet play
The call of a new souls game speaks to us all
Iron Pineapple, chieftain of the soulslikes
The ever brilliant Illusory Wall
Zullie, the From Software companion
The loathsome ymfah
And sir VaatiVidya, the all-knowing!
Aww man, you doing my man ymfah dirty bro 🤧
Hahaha that hit different
😂
Man can’t do that to ymfah
I can’t exactly explain why but “the loathsome ymfah” makes perfect sense to me yet I can’t verbalize why. Made me laugh though.
The fact that the cutscene straight up tells us even DEAD Tarnished and THE #1 KING OF THE TARNISHED were brought back to life as a last ditch effort and some, if not most folks forgot until they finished the game is amazing.
And for some fracking reason we are the one dealing with it how ironic we have no claim to fame, we are just noone a body dead and yet grace decided that yes this unknown tarnished who has no great deeds is worthy to be risen makes ya think it was a bet between the gods themselves to see if you would join them and honestly that's scarier then anything else
@@theenderdestruction2362the grace seems to bring back any tarnished that was part of or descendant of Godfrey's army though
D, Rogier, Patches, Boggart and Corhyn are all tarnished too and they don't seem to have any particular renown
What's different between most tarnished in the game and the ones we see in the intro (including our own character) is the ones in the intro never stopped seeing the light of grace.
So the question is: why does everyone but these six characters lose their ability to see the guidance of grace? (Seven characters if you include Vyke who almost managed to become Elden Lord/Lord of the Frenzied Flame)
@thiago292 im certain patches isnt even normal like at all, D was seemly a famous undead hunter, boggart was probably a criminal of royal decent or a magician that and he surived the damn dung eater and i have no idea who corhyn also no tarnished is really gunning for the elden ring really so i guess the grace just kinda fucks off that or the greater is playing favorites
I keep coming back here, this part still gives me chills 2:05 the music is simply magnificent and builds up a feeling of hope
fr the narrator was going crazy before but it went to a whole other level after 'Arise now, ye Tarnished! Ye dead, who yet live!'
the passion is absolutely insane!! how could somebody put so much emphasis. chills to my bones
my favorite part too
I liked when he gave the guy who eats shit a shout out
I mean, all these guys have of course but it’s funny to just come out and say it in the name
2:03 - 2:05 The sound made by gamers across the world on release (of the game)
😂😂
“on release”💀💀😭
And the DLC
This is one of those games that will survive generations. I will play this game 20 years from now and still feel the same hype I did in my first playthrough. What a game.
You will not feel the same hype in 20 years what are you talking about
@@drifter1063 people feel the hype playing souls games today. Elden ring will age just as well the replay value is incredible.
hahahahah@@drifter1063
Perhaps, if you plan on having dementia in 20 years
@@drifter1063i'm still as hyped to play minecraft as i was 10 years ago, elden ring will probably be the same
Elden Ring story wise (to me) is the first time there's a genuine sense of hope for the world, if it was more Dark Souls I'd feel like the goal would be to stop the shattering from happening, but because it's already happened and it's actually been a very long time since, the world feels like it's between ages and you're coming into it to finally let things progress instead of everything being stagnant, it's even shown with how the stars aren't moving, people are trapped unable to die, and despite everything being in ruins nothing is able to be rebuilt
The little shard of light on sir gideon looks like a lost grace. The fact it’s so small makes me think gideon’s tomb is actually gigantic, which is all the more terrifying
That shard is on all of them tho.
@@noobatron2663 this
Spoiler: you meet him very ewrly on and hes a normal sized old man
everyone else is as cool as in the art but GIDEON OFNIR! What a cool name, what a cool piece of concept art, ofnir's even one of odin's names, related to the word "oven" or "hearthfire"! but then you meet him and he's so normal-looking! fucker's armour isnt even as cool as all that
How tall can he be, those are human ears all around him. The little shard is on everyone of them.
I wondered when I might find a first glimpse at R. R. Martin's writing, and when I read "Night of the Black Knives", I chuckled, understanding that he wrote the narrative frame and the world before it all went to hell. That's when FromSoft took over. What a magnificent crossover.
Yeah if he was asked to write the rest of the story it'd take another hundred years
@Martin Toledo If Blaidd the Half-Wolf isn't a reference to Robb Stark, I'd eat my hat.
@@jmcu17 Blaidd is based from Guts of Berserk. His silhouette resembles that of Guts when he dons the berserk armor, sword and armor.
@@dharmdevil Blaidds ending is definitely inline with Berserk too. Tragic to say the least.
@@jmcu17 I can totally see that happening: George RR Martin describing Blaidd with a Robb Stark type of character in mind, and Miyasaki listening carefully and got to the conclusion: "Oh ! He wants Guts from Berserk. Excellent idea."
"I am near the end of the game and haven't met Hoarah Loux at all, maybe I missed him."
It's Radagon
I have messed with my save files somewhere around 150 hours of playing, I corrupted them and had to start from scratch. I am now at around 280 hours of playing this game...and I don't regret any second of it. I have watched this opening cinematic many times, and every time the canvas is getting more complex and complete. Every day I still discover levels of depth and complexity I have never experienced before and I am in complete awe.
Obviously the name "Dung Eater" us funny but I think it fits perfectly. They could have named him "The Defiler" or something else similar but the choice just really shows the filth and depravity of his character. When you meet him in game he threatens you, sits in a room of decay, and you're even warned by another NPC to avoid him. A truly despicable character just from short interaction.
I love him, he's my favorite character other than Alexander the Jar boy
He's so despicable and vile even in the grim world of Elden Ring his title is literally just, "The Dung Eater"
Imagine how perverse you have to be for everyone to know you as, "that one fucker I saw getting it on with grandma's corpse"
@@ariannathatdawg3400 I find that most of the Tarnished from the intro are pretty despicable in their own ways. Dung Eater is obvious, Fia siphons life from people like a succubus, Gideon is completely self centered and back handed. Don't know Gold Mask and Horah Loux yet but no doubt they'll be about the same.
Edit: okay Gold Mask and Hoarah Loux are based
@@thatrobedude1023 gold mask is a total bro. He knows that deep lore of the erdtree
@@thatrobedude1023 but from what i understood Fia also wants to make golden order "recognize" those who live in death... so she seems like she has her own noble goal

Something I didn't notice at the very beginning was the second flash of light you see Queen Marika, but in the third you see Lord Radagon.
Considering the story that's pretty neat.
that’s some crazy foreshadowing
“Radagon is Marika”
*T-pose intensifies*
Spoilers--
All the demigods and some of their backstory is shown in the intro,
Godrick and radahn fighting(correction, Morgot and Radahn, didn’t realise they had even fought), malenia and radahn fighting, Miquella being taken by Mohg, Snakeboy being eaten, watching the intro second play thru hits even harder
@@BONAH42 looked more like morgott and radahn fighting
@@BONAH42 no way Godrick would be fighting the goat radhan when he ran away from him

I love coming back to this opening and the trailers piecing together things after experiencing the game. I now see that they clearly show Rykard being devoured, Mohg holding Miquella hostage, and so many other cool details. Hell even Radagon this whole time staring us in the face since the trailer
Spoilers :
Radagon and marika being the same
Godfrey and his lion, serosh
@@popkhorne5372 bruh yes. I’m so glad I stumbled upon the statue secret without even realizing. Legit “lol what if I use this new spell here” and boom, it blew my mind. Absolutely crazy details
Also Horah with a lion straight up being Godfrey the first Tarnished with his Lion too was too cool. It was right there.
Do you also see Morghott dominating Radahn when he tried to attack the capital? That will be a lethal blow to Radahn fanboys after him getting spanked by a blind, one armed & one legged woman!!!
@@shadearca Spanked? Lmao! I love how salty Malenia stans are that her knightess had to cheapshot Radahn, and that even after getting revived from killing herself to bleed STDs into him after she got her sword arm shattered, she still had to get dragged away unconscious to be saved from Radahn.
Nobody ever said Radahn was stronger than Morgott. Morgott clearly did what Malenia could not.
@@shadearca if that's radanh then where did the huge tusks on his helmet go?And why did he shrink so much?
*SPOILERS ABOUT THE LORE*
I've just realized literally the first two shots of the game tell us the Marika/Radagon twist. The first shot is Marika shattering it and the second is Radagon probably trying to fix it. Never realized before that the first shot is a woman and the second is a man lol.
When I first saw this cinematic I thought that he/she was the godwyn not Marika lol
@@lrsb1678 You can tell Ragadon from Godwyn because Radagon has long red hair. He’s also always shown topless
I think it was intentionally misleading, the way shadow is cast over Radagon's chest in the second shot to hide the fact that Marika is distinguished by her dress, and even Godwyn having a similar design to both of them, I think they were planning that twist for a very long time
2:03 this part got me so fucking hyped the first time I saw it, made it feel like I was in for a glorious adventure and so far it is
What's crazy is I'm 25 hours in and i only know who one of those characters is

Then "something revived" all the named characters at the end + your character. All of you (and some others npcs) form part of the round table and you are supposed to get all the pieces of the Elden ring (from queens Marika's offsprings) and become the Elden Lord
@@dirtyclickers7649 yes the named tarnished are your allies in order to beat the demigods, its not a spoiler, theyre literally on the same journey as you are and have the same end goal.

I like how it’s more of a Demons Souls intro, gives a more “ancient” feeling versus a typical cinematic. Not to say this is better than a cg cinematic, it just fits the tone/ feeling more IMO.
Personally I prefer the dark souls intros. They felt like creation myths with more detail, not sure why they went with pictures here instead.
For me its literally the ds 3 intro. Literally the exact same structure lol
@@Shakenmike117 in my opinion it gives it a more fantasy vibe, kind of like its narrating a fairy tale, which fits the whole vibe of elden ring
I thought it would be a typical cinematic but with this intro it really feels like we're more integral to the story with the narrator actually acknowledging us. The art was really cool too.
@@Shakenmike117 i personally didnt couse we actually never see those graves couse the retail version has a different layout from the version that was created with the trailer
My man goes full send...
Honestly I really like this painting style narrated intro. Makes it feel like a story that would be told in universe with painted depictions of major figures and events. I love the charm it has, as opposed to a standard cinematic intro we always get these days.
This guy GOES FUCKING HARD.
He set the tone RIGHT AWAY.
You notice so many more things rewatching this after going through parts of the game it’s kind of genius. Varre finding the player in the beginning, the grace literally touching each tarnished, and the subversion of the Malenia vs Radahns real meaning
Do you also see Morghott dominating Radahn when he tried to attack the capital? That will be a lethal blow to Radahn fanboys after him getting spanked by a blind, one armed & one legged woman!!!
I don’t think that was Rahdan but one of his champions.
@@shadearca You keep posting this everywhere. Are you really that desperate? You know even if you **could** get with her, she very definitely has multiple STI's right?
@@shreksmyhomie2419 So between Godwyn's death and mayor stuff like Rykard getting eaten and Mogh stealing Miquella we just see a picture of Morgott stabbing some nobody soldier? I kinda doubt it tbh.
@@marksimon2085 I mean it's pretty clear that It's a slideshow of all the demigods. They show Radahn in a later slide with Melania. I guess its possible they show him twice but it really doesnt seem likely especially considering his size in relation to Morgott.
The way he has a whole oragasm when he gets to SIR GIDEON OFNEIR......THE ALL-KNOWING . Ir got me thinking that the narrator is him
I just noticed that at the beginning we see Marika hammering the Elden Ring, and in the next image it is Radagon...
Oh Miyazaki, you and your little details!
The narrator alone gets 90 metascore
"Rise now, ye badasses:
Badlands chief badass.
Brilliant incantations badass.
Comfortable mommy badass.
*Shit eater.*
All knowing badass."
*THE DESPICABLE DOO-DOO DEVOURER*
Gold mask is probs the best character in the game. Hands down.
Serosh and Leonard are close 2nds.
when he talks about Sir Gideon he sounds like the Talos worshipper in Whiterun
Get so much damn goosebumps when he names the other tarnished especially THE ALL-KNOWING
The dung eater
"the fallen leaves tell a story" causes me goosebumps everytime
Hoarah loux is so fucking bad ass
The voice acting is stellar, you know the game is good when you're in tears of excitement before you even see a second of gameplay.
So true my friend
TRUE!
🙆♂
I skipped this cutscene halfway through because it felt forced and I had no idea who any of these people are. Zero regrets.
@@jakefoley9539 Gr8 b8 m8 I r8 8/8 you sure set everyone sr8 with that h8, just a shame your comment came too l8.
2:51 just perfect like wow
2:02 I Teared up the first time seeing this and playing, this always gives me chills. It’s YOUR time to stand and overcome the odds.
chills that an old man came? lol
Love how they show Morgot absolutely stomping Radahn it’s a fun way of showing that even though Radahn is strong he still gets destroyed by Morgott
Not Radahn though. Or a very young one. Radahn in his prime was considered the strongest demigod of all and had the upper hand against Malenia until she basically used a "suicide attack" all while he was maintaining the stars in place. And fighting great knights at the same time.
Probably when Morgott first escaped from the sewers and captured the city. The subsequent wars and battles after the shattering probably made Radahn a lot stronger.
@@massivecunt8263 suicide? Malenia is literally a goddess vessel, she is more OP than "Radahn in his prime"
First, no thats not true
Radahn (and Malenia) is already stated several times in the Game itself to be the mightiest of all demigods, not just the story but also the gameplay too (Radahn is harder than Morgott lets be honest)
We know this bcuz, when Radahn fought Malenia, which is his last fight, he looks very much in shape, no wounds or injuries any like that, and he fought Malenia, strongest of all Empyreans, to a stalemate
If Morgott beats him, Radahn wouldve sustain injuries, physically weakened and would lose if he fought Malenia. Perhaps its his forces that won against Radahn and maybe Morgott ambush and caught Radahn by suprise but Radahn didn't suffer any serious injuries, if any
@@elvisadika7458 average Radahn simp ignoring the intro to that game
“Cross the fog, to the lands between… to stand before the Elden ring” gave me chills
because they are talking to you
nah it didnt
@@Knux914 what a pointless comment
I love how there are all these awesome and mysterious fantasy characters/names and then there's "Dung Eater."
Now the question is, was it GRRM's or Hidetaka "Dung Pie" Miyazaki's idea?
I like how you can see Mogh kidnapping Miquella
1:16
Morgott is pummeling Radahn so badly and so thoroughly with his staff, that he doesn't even have to unseal his cursed omen blood. What a chad.
I swear that man came right before he said "Arise now, ye Tarnished"
Wait, after finishing the game, you can actually notice many narrative bombshells in the opening cinematic. I urge everyone not to spoil anything
Brother Corhyn: "This man is amazing, I would die for him, he's the best, all hail Goldmask, etc."
Goldmask: *Just stands there pointing*
Just by seeing art of Fia and the Dung Eater, I'm like these character are instantly S tier
Fia just wants to give you a hug...literally lol.
@@codydutra7893 that's what she wants you to think lmao
Fia is a thot but Dung Eater has the ultimate sigma grindset
@@codydutra7893 She debuffs you when she hugs u
@@Micolashcage1 lol I know
Who the hell voiced this narration? It’s honestly one of the best narrations I’ve ever seen for anything in my entire life. I can’t find who it is and I’ve been searching a little!
Tim Cartwright maybe
Jimmy Livingstone
Anyone remember Headhunter? He voiced Jack Wade... abolute legend...
Yeah, the guy voicing here is totally on par with the narrator from Darkest Dungeon (who was my favorite of all-time before Elden Ring came out)
hes a fucking legend. Set the tone perfectly of what we are experiencing
Ive seen this intro more than 100 times, and it always gives me chills
He gets so hyped for the Dung eater
I don’t see why the other needed to be revived when you get the dung eater
Because Dung Eater's a psycho.
2:57 ...AND THE WINKLEVOSS TWINS, THE ALL-ROWING!
0:04 shows marika destroying the elden ring. However, in the next scene you can see radagan doing the same action. Because radagan in marika.
0:30 a normal scene from the lands between.
0:43 queen marika being punished and held captive for destroying the elden ring.
1:01 godwyn was the very first god to parish. He was killed by the black knife assassins who used the rune of death to kill him. This then caused marika to shatter the elden ring in grief of her loss.
1:11 ranni possibly holding an unalloyed needle. Unalloyed needles were originally made by miquella, in his attempt to stop any outer god (including the greater will) from being able to have any effect on the user.
1:19 i think thats mergit fighting the redmane soldiers (radhans army). But im not sure.
1:24 mohg (the lord of blood), carrying the body of miquella (the eternal child), after he kidnapped him from the haligtree. Hoping to help him ascend to godhood and become his consort, to then allow his god, the formless mother, to rule over the lands between
1:34 after the shattering, rykard wanted to be immortal. So, he allowed himself to be eaten by a serpent. In the years to come, rykard would consume many more. Obtaining their power and vitality in the process.
1:42 the battle of radhan and malenia. No one won this battle. Radhan and his land were infected by malenias scarlet rot, and malenia fell into a slumber. A slumber that lasted so long, mohg was able to steal miquella (the twin brother of malenia), right from under her nose.
2:07 i have no clue who these are. Let me know if you found out.
2:28 godfrey, the first husband of marika, was abondond by marika and the greater will, Making him the very first tarnished to exist.
2:34 not much is known about goldmask. But yes he is also a tarnished.
2:40 fia, a lady who serves godwyn (the first god to die). Altho his mind died long ago, his body still lives. Making him somewhat of a zombie per se. She belives that the undead should be treated the same as the living, and she dreams of making that happen.
2:45 the dung eater is a psycho. He likes pain and suffering and illness. He was insane and hated before and he is insane and hated now. Thats also why we see him getting excuted. The mans a bad dude.
2:52 sir gideon, a tarnished who wished to learn about the truth. You can see hundreds of eyes in his coffin. Possibly a nice little mention to bloodborne and how eyes meant knowledge in that game.
Sorry if this was too long i just wanted to see what i knew so far😅
If you guys know anything more, or have theories, please let me know!
It looks like Ranni is holding one of Miquellas unalloyed gold needles at 1:11. Would make sense considering her intentions to get rid of the greater will.
Hey ! For the Rykard one im not so sure; it is said in the lore that when he claimed the shard of the Elden Ring, after the Shattering, Rykard committed the great blasphemy by allowing himself to be consumed by a giant serpent, so he might devour, grow, and live eternally.( yeah he literally fed himself to the serpent ) to be able to merge with him. that's why the serpent is quite small in this scene; cause it still has not become the boss we see in the game where he is absolutely gigantic. So right now that's the serpent eating Rykard 👍 Yum
@@thepook6683 that makes sense! She is also holding it to her chest which is where milicent inserted hers. Ill add it into the comment
I don't think those are eyes in Sir Gideon's coffin. Those are ears.
@@nathanhartanto2544 well if u look in the chest he hold it eye inside too so...just let it pass
Me on Thursday/Friday exactly at midnight :
2:03
1:26 the mad taint got me actin strange
2:28 Its cool seeing the grace actually there in the paintings, calling to the tarnished to arise.
Not even joking I ACTUALLY get goosebumps from watching this.
I just watched this an hour ago in game and rewatched now. Both times gave me chills.
This is the only guy I want to hype me up from now on.
I like how they feel like renaissance era oil paintings from the world of these gods and beasts, made by artists who live in it, and actually I think you can find many of the art hanging on walls inside the game. It's less flashier than the common game cinematics that saved money on full animation and heavily treat and dress up still art with fancy effects and motion etc. but there is way more gravitas to this approach, and in a unique way it absorbs and immerses me into its world more effectively. Just like Souls games in general do vs. others.
This intro goes so hard. I thought when I started the game it was a bit much but after beating it I just love it so much
2:04 when she calls you her pogchamp
2:27 Hi Godfrey.
“Arise now, ye tarnished” chills everytime
*”ye ded hu yit liv”*
“the ever brilliant goldmask!!” *followed by lots of voices whooping and cheering loudly in the background*
I love the fact that this time they used paintings for the cinematic
"A tarnished of no renown" felt that in my soul for some reason lol.. the real MVP though is THE LOATHSOME DUNG EATER!!!
