  • Elden Ring The Complete Story / Lore Explained
    In the beginning, all life was once blended together.
    Beasts, serpents and dragons ruled the land.
    Over time they evolved, and with intelligence, civilisation began to establish itself across the realm.
    But one day everything changed, when an outer god, called the Greater Will, sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between, which later would become… the Elden Ring.

  • @lordtrinen2249

    Good summary. Thanks for sharing. Still have a lot of lingering questions though. For example, you say Marika shattered the Elden Ring in defiance of the Greater Will while Radagon tried to restore it, implying that he is still loyal to the Greater Will. As a Tarnished, you've been tasked by the Greater Will to restore the Elden Ring. Why would Radagon and the Elden Beast fight such a person? I would think Marika would fight you instead.

    • @Andy-qf1kc
      @Andy-qf1kc Год назад +2

      Marika is the one who awakens you with her grace. She is still a god and trapped in the tree and still has influence. You are to get the Elden ring and be Elden Lord for her. Though your character decides the fate of the Elden ring. Thing of the Elden ring like a more complex infinity gauntlet sent to earth by the greater will and controls aspects of reality

    • @alexharrison2743
      @alexharrison2743 Год назад +1

      @@Andy-qf1kc I don't think this is supported by any lore as far as I know, but I always headcanon Melina as an aspect of Marika's consciousness that has managed to escape being bound within the Erdtree. Hence her being able to have the runes you find/gather strengthen you, is non-corporeal, and is willing to burn the Erdtree

      My girlfriend now wants to play Elden Ring and will surely have lots of questions, so I'm refreshing myself on the lore and story explanation. This video beats any others out there hands down - it's chronological, it's clear, and manages to condense the ridiculous amount of lore down to that which is actually necessary and plot-relevant (goodbye crucible knight jargon)!

    I love the lore jump of "the burning of the tree was enough to have the tarnished hero transported to a region called Crumbling Farum Azula". That's a very generous way of saying "they just started teleporting you around and it makes little sense." And where was Godfrey this entire time - a tarnish who was still exiled, I presume. Why go back and fight for or defend the order that booted you out?
    Also, if you're there to repair the ring, wouldn't that be what the Elden Beast wants? I thought Elden Beast was the representation of the greater will, and the greater will is who trapped Marika & Radagon inside the Erdtree. I don't fully understand why it fights you (lore wise...).

      1/2) marika basically took a piece from the whole elden ring.
      let's stay I have a picture made of many images, I can take out one of these images without destroying the whole picture, although it being altered, which is how marika took out the rune of death from the bigger rune that is the elden ring, instead, she later destroyed the whole picture.
      as for ranni, the she took one piece of the images that create the picture, basically a piece of a piece.
      3) marika and radagon are two absolutely individual entities, you can see this very obviously but radagon personality, such as his passion for knowledge or how he actually loved rennala (golden order greatsword), making them fight during the shatter.

      @@saltystrawberries7009 I have to agree with AJB. Everyone stuck the game out because of the actual Gameplay and exploration. The story design is terrible though. Definitely could have benefitted from a journal and character index.

    good editing but like, this is honestly wack. Waaaaayyyy too much filler and bullcorn, too many characters that really don't matter. I was interested in Elden Ring until i learned about its lore. this shit put me to sleep

    This is super vague. And contains spoilers. All in all, not great.
