@@blindstrike2557 Not quite. Blaidd was MADE by the greater will and bound to Ranni. He could fend off their confluence for a time but not forever. Which is why Iji trapped him in an evergoal. Iji is a giant. Not specifically made by the Greater Will. And maybe the helm itself was not easily made.
Blaidd is the Solaire of Elden Ring. In a world where everything is so hostile, the few characters who are actually good, kind and sincere towards the player stands out so much more.
That's the unfortunate thing about Blaidd and Iji being Fromsoft characters. Any time we get someone who seems genuine and good in the world, they *will* have a sad ending.
Really ? Feel that its pretty up front if you talk to the npc characters. This video was great but didn't think the quest storyline was that hard to understand
Talked to Ranni the first time after becoming her ally, she asked me to do something somewhere I din't found out at the time. Next time I see her, she is a minuature doll being melancolic saying she loves her companions and then a npc invaded me and she says after I defeat him "that was the last one" And I was like "...Last one from what?" She desapair and I had no idea what the fuck happened until this video lol
It's pretty tragic that she's forced to have her champion mercy kill her full-blood brother (Radahn) and her adoptive brother (Blaidd), after they both succumb to madness. Love the lore videos.
Oh I know, when I learned that about Radahn I felt so bad for him. Poor guy just wanted a warrior’s death. I really need to do his story next because he is such a cool character. Thank you so much!!
I'll be honest, I wasn't able to win Blaidd at the time of his insanity until I figured how to make use of the environment to block his movements. Shame on me...
@@henryteo82 I mean, in real life people who had fought honorably against the dishonorable often lose quite easily. If you think of it this way, playing dishonorably is just how getting a win is justified.
Can we please acknowledge that Radhan somehow challenged the *stars themselves* and *won* ? And everyone just accepted that like "yeah, he did that, nbd." My mans challenged celestial bodies at Summer Slam and won so hard it remained a problem for everyone involved, I fucking love tiny horse man.
@@jsportsupdates807 there is a picture in the opening cinematic depicting Morgott pinning Radahn down, presumably whenever Radahn marched his army into Leyndell. Morgott was said to have repelled his army in a lore tab, so it’s safe to assume that the picture was actually showing the Omen King beating the General in a 1v1.
It's even better than that Imagine he loved his horse so much he learned gravity magic to be able to ride it And even after being mad he still was using the magic not to crush the horse. Imagine. Being mad and still remembering about your horse.
I know, I was so devastated when I had to kill blaidd, the I go back to Iji, he says that he will meet the same fate, I sat down at the site of grace and when I left it, there he was burning in black flame. Shit, that broke my heart.
Poor Blaidd he was very loyal and faithful to Ranni until his death. It was an honor to fight with him, and the other champions against Radahn. That is why I wear his gaunlets and wolf head throughout my playthrough to honor him.
The Ranni/Blaidd quest line is one of my favorites in the franchise, probably only behind Siegmeyer and Sieglinde from DS1. I genuinely felt sad when I had to kill Blaidd. He held out long enough to make sure Ranni was safe through sheer willpower. I'll finish my playthrough wearing his wolf helm out of respect. This is definitely my favorite lore video you've done so far. I'm excited for the next one.
Thank you so much! And I agree it’s also my favorite storyline so far and probably will remain that way until the end of the game, they put a lot of heart to it.
I think he didn’t like the wolf mask because it was a skinned wolf head worn by an assassin. I think he gives you some negative lines if you wear it near him
Maybe the helm isn’t as effective as we think and Iiji didn’t want to risk it. Maybe Iiji couldn’t figure out how to figure out how to fit it over Blaidd’s doggy snoot. Sadly, it’s too late for supposition😔
I have a thing for wolves and wolf styled armors/weapons, think their incredible creatures so when i seen/learned of Blaidd? i fell inlove. Watching this video and getting a much stronger understanding of Blaidd's part in the story just makes me wanna cry because he's such a good boio! the goodest boy q.q. Even when he was being overtaken by madness...he kept his vows to Ranni... Literally played Elden Ring just to get all of Blaidd's gear and after that? sat there looking at myself like "yeah i'm pretty happy now. don't need to play anymore." LOL of course i did play more but the point is after that? no other armor really caught my attention regardless of stats. Not to mention this indepth breakdown of their story makes me appreciate Blaidd's armor 100x more.
I greatly respect how you only present facts based on item descriptions and not your own interpretations, head-canons and theories on how you believe some things played out, subbed.
Thank you so much for the comment, and yes I am trying to do exactly that and just stick to the environment, dialogue, and item descriptions. I know there are a ton of theories bouncing around but I think that it's safer to stay with what you can see on screen. So I appreciate you noticing! :)
Omg yes!! I noticed that too :D, my friend keeps telling me a whole different story that doesn't sit right with me and I'm just like "where did you get that from?!" And it's because he goes based on interpretations and theories people make. This Video is Short and clear kn ehay the story actually is and its awesome
@@AaronCordova-sq4to what does your friend tell you? I've been told stuff like how Marika and Radagon were always one person, Renna and Ranni too, and Melina apparently is " them" as well, and Malenia with her daughters, that Maliketh and Blaidd are actual shadows of their empyreans, lots of characters being another characters split off self basically, and also how you have to be born of a "single god" whatever that is, to be an Empyryan, when the game contradicts all of this... Seems to me a lot of people didn't finish all quests etc. and instead of building lore step by step, jump straight to idiotic conclusions, I've seen a guy discussing heavy lore just to ask who are the tarnished lmao
@@SynthBro Marika and Radagon being the same person kinda makes sense? Idk lol (if it is confirmed please leave a comment telling me when it was confirmed because I want to know lol). For what I can understand about Renna and Ranni, I'd that they are not the same person, Ranni uses the name of Renna when she first meets us, but then she reveals her real name (That being Ranni) when we meet her again, I think it's safe to say that Renna was Ranni's mentor, we know that The Snow Witch set belonged to Rannis mentor (explained on the armor description), and where do we find the set? In Rennas Tower, so I think it's safe to say that Ranni just used the name of Renna to hide her real identity, you know since she is trying to go against the Greater Will and the fingers lol so I don't think they are the same person. And about the Empyrean stuff, I read something that for me is the most logical way to put it without making big assumptions and theories I'll put it here: "The description about twins Melania and Miquella, say that they are empyrean because they are children of a single god. A lot of theories suggest that you must have a single god parent to be empyrean but the lore text doesn't imply this at all. If you force this single god parent theory for Empyrean, you end up forcing a lot of things that are not mentioned and end up contradicting some other things. Instead of forcing that all empyreans must have a single god parent, which is a logic jump in the first place and ends up requiring a lot of assumptions and irregularities in the lore; let's just assume that empyrean is something like a recessive gene. If both parents are empyreans, you are very likely/sure to be an empyrean. If just one parent is an empyrean, you are sure to be a demigod, but rarely, the child will be an empyrean, just like Ranni." -quick20minadventure
@@AaronCordova-sq4to - Yes, Renna was a mentor of Ranni, the dolls are detailed after her, although of course just an artistic vision becouse she didn't actually have four hands and blue skin, and demigods are being hunted down with Ranni being considered dead, it's easy to understand why she is hiding - Radagon and Marika have very much separate stories, with her being a numen girl, and him a being from a race believed to be descendant of giants (both races are available as preset for your character), it's impossible for many events to transpire without the two being in two places at one time, and while there is dialogue pointing towards splitting, they are still in one body switching between personas in the final fight, and as almost everything suggests, they merged at some point - good explanation, outside of who Empyryans actually are, Ranni outright tells you they were chosen by their own two fingers, of course, Miquella and Malenia being twins born from one mother was what made them Empyryans in the first place, the reason they were chosen that is, and Empyryans are just contestants to ascend into godhood pooled from the demigods
This is amazing lore telling! I played through everything already but this really puts all the pieces of the story puzzle together, especially with having went with the Ranni quest, ending in the game, love her a lot! Love it, great work!
I got it spoiled for me that I would have to kill Blaidd to get his armor, which was what I was hunting for for over a week in the game. I heard that he went insane, so I just said, "At least I can put him at rest" and held it in my heart that I had to do it. But when I saw Blaidd stand up after waiting for me to arrive for so long, and he said, "I could never betray Mistress Rani" I broke down man. I actually started crying while fighting him because I had no idea how strong of a person he was. I love my Best Bro Blaidd, and I wear his armor so I can bring him with me to become Elden Lord
Not only your voice and delivery is worthy of a role within the game itself, the script was expertly written as well. Ever since I came across one of your Elden Ring lore videos couple hours ago, I have been binging every single one of them. You are awesome!
Just found your channel today and I cannot get enough. You go so in depth with your research and actually cite where you found the details. Keep up the amazing work!
You are absolutely the BEST channel doing Elden Ring lore right now. Clear, concise, cinematic. Absolutely perfect. Thank you for helping us understand this world and its inhabitants.
These lore videos are such a blessing because there’s so many different stories to tell in elden ring, and I expected it to be quite a long time till someone started putting out videos like these so thanks!
Another concise, easily digestable and well told version of what is a very complex, difficult story to follow in game. Amazing video, this coverage and explanation is 10/10! Can't wait for more!
Loving lore, loving fromsoftware and loving this questline, finding a video so well narrated and well put AND with subtitles makes me so happy, really good job!
Your lore videos on ER are my favorite. They’re cogent, articulate, based on facts gleaned from the game, and pleasant to listen to. Thank you for your hard work.
Eloquently put! I remember playing this game for hours and hours trying to decipher lore from those cryptic item descriptions! It’s cool to see it laid out so clearly here. Thanks!
this is by far the best explanation of the lore of elden ring. most channels just read the item descriptions and cite vague theories but these videos are kind of a story of their own written with beautiful language. and most of it makes sense as well!
What an amazing summary and great story telling, really loving the lore and story videos so far, can't wait to see more Elden Ring lore coming from you!
I understood the story in 7min, what i didn't in 1h of watching other videos about the same topic. Of course you gave less details, but straight to the point was what i needed, thank you for this video, very great job ! ^^
Great video. Ranni's quest was one of the few stories that really captured my interest and to hear it explained with such clarity simply gives me a deeper appreciation for all the lore hidden away in the background.
@KiteTales & Flex 100% agree. From a story telling perspective, the game is amazing at feeding you bits at a time. A clue here. Another much later. I had so much fun trying to follow along in game, but hearing you put it all together (great narration voice, btw) brought some much welcomed clarity to it all.
Literally checked your channel today just to see if i missed any lore videos. watched your vids multiple times. absolutely amazing content. keep that shit up!!
This was an amazing summarization of Ranni’s storyline. I’ve been looking for one 🙏🏼 so thank u :) You should totally do either Rykard or Godwyn next 🤷♂️ both are very weird and sort of unknown
I actually didn't end up back at rannis rise until after Blaidd had gone mad and I started wearing his armor so he could forever be of service to ranni.
Thanks so much for a clear concise explanation of this storyline! Looking forward to hearing your breakdowns of other characters / sub plots in the game
Fantastic video, I didn't know much about Blaidd as I only found him at the festival, and later having gone mad at Ranni's rise. Nice to know he had an excellent bittersweet story.
LOVE IT ! Thank you so much. Was confused on some points there, but now everything is clear ! U really got a nice narrator voice. Good luck with your Channel!
I got quite attached to these two during the quest. Even my equipment reflects it. Since I'm a mage I use Ranni's snow witch hat and Blaidd's chest and leg armor, and Lusat's arms. It looks pretty cool honestly.
I knew the Two Fingers were insane, and not in the literal Three Fingers way, but damn... that's just straight up cold. Two Fingers makes Frampt look honest and ethical in comparison.
Is her path truly the noble of many? The weight of the Greater Will can often be quite straining even for the most patient of minds. I try and think, but all I can seem to remember is the words of a failed Martyr stationed in his frozen post. “Not all heroic deeds are wise, and not all evil is foolish, but above all others we must strive for good.”
i never really care about the lore in souls-borne games but your videos have surely made me more interested and curious about the story, thank you so much, love what you're doing
Please keep these coming! I *love* your concise delivery of these stories. This was my absolute favorite Questline in the game and you give this tale the gravity it deserves. I'd love to see some stuff about the Scarlet rot, how it maybe relates to Astel...(i have a pet theory about how it seems to be like terraforming the lands....for those insect guys we see in the places with the rot....like the lake of rot area)
Thank you so much! 😊 And I 100% about this being my favorite quest… you can tell they put a lot of work into planning this one and it’s just so wonderful. I definitely want to look at the Scarlet Rot and what’s going on there, and I love your theory about it terraforming the land!!
@@kitetales yeah. It just seems so other-worldly and given how close the largest concentration is (lake of rot) to Astel who is definitely not of the world, i have a feeling it's all interconnected.
Iji's helmet stops him from being controlled by the Greater Will/Two Fingers, literally a tin foil hat if you think about it
Oh my gosh you’re right 😆
Iji pulling a Magneto
it's remind me about Magneto's helmet hahahha
If that's the case, wouldn't a helm like that work for Blaidd too? If so, I think we might looking at a big plothole here.
@@blindstrike2557 Not quite. Blaidd was MADE by the greater will and bound to Ranni. He could fend off their confluence for a time but not forever. Which is why Iji trapped him in an evergoal.

Blaidd is the Solaire of Elden Ring. In a world where everything is so hostile, the few characters who are actually good, kind and sincere towards the player stands out so much more.
Also his Character is straight Guts from Berserk with similar backstories. Loved the design and idea behind it
Don't forget about the Turtle Pope.
That's the unfortunate thing about Blaidd and Iji being Fromsoft characters. Any time we get someone who seems genuine and good in the world, they *will* have a sad ending.
Blaidd and Alexander both are great Characters that brought so much needed positivity to the game's story

I thought the same thing; I wonder if by then it was too late for him? ☹️
Maybe the helm isn’t as effective as we think and Iiji didn’t want to risk it. Maybe Iiji couldn’t figure out how to figure out how to fit it over Blaidd’s doggy snoot. Sadly, it’s too late for supposition😔
I’m surprised Blaidd doesn’t get a boss fight when he succumbed to madness.
not technically a boss fight but he does show up outside the rise after the quest is over
Because that would make him cool instead of just miserable
It’d be too much like artorias
He does
@@truffeltroll6668 Indeed, and it's supposed that his fight is sad and painful. He failed as a shadow and we must give him mercy :'c
“The Princess and her Shadow” sound like it could be a book 🥺🥺
I'd be first in line to read the audiobook for it!
Probably one of the best side quests in video games, this one quest could’ve been a stand alone game.
Totally agree, it's got so much to it that it could very well be a standalone story.
A stand alone, or a DLC for the game. Mostly because almost all of the underground areas felt like they would have DLC for any other game out there
Not really a side quest kind of an ending when you think of it
I am so in love with this saga of elden ring lore. Huge fan already.

Thank you for making this! This quest line was such a heartbreaking experience, but one of my favorites now in any Soulsborne series.
Thanks so much for watching! :) It was a great questline, just wish it had a happier ending but that doesn't seem to fit the style of the series!
This is the first time this story was explained to me in a way i understand, bravo, thank you.
Eloquently put! I remember playing this game for hours and hours trying to decipher lore from those cryptic item descriptions! It’s cool to see it laid out so clearly here. Thanks!
My heart crumbled when I left that tower to see him struggling, when he attacked me I felt awful for having to fight him
This is one of the most concise and confusion free explanations of the quest I have heard. I've listened to so many lore videos too. Great job.
this videos are so amazing , love the way you do the story telling and also use every item location and npcs related to the lore
Thank you so much! :)
This game’s lore has always been spaghetti to me (even though I’m in love with it). This was super helpful. Thanks!
So glad to hear it! Thank you! :)
I really appreciate your ability to summarize these stories. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you so much for watching!
Definitely the best Elden ring lore videos around, right now.
These are awesome, keep it up!
Thank you so much, that is such a huge compliment! 😊
Wow there is an amazing story in this game and these video do such a wonderful job of bringing it all together. I'm really enjoying the narration!
Thank you so much!! It was great fun to me to hear all of my co-op Elden Ring buddies in the background of the video as I was getting the footage! ;)
Thank you so much for the summary . her story is great and full of hope at the end.
this is by far the best explanation of the lore of elden ring. most channels just read the item descriptions and cite vague theories but these videos are kind of a story of their own written with beautiful language. and most of it makes sense as well!
Makes so much sense now that I've watched your video. This has been the most intriguing lore thus far for me and this cleared it up. Awesome video!
Thank you so much!! 😊
What an amazing summary and great story telling, really loving the lore and story videos so far, can't wait to see more Elden Ring lore coming from you!
Thank you so much!! 😊 They’re so fun to work on while playing through the game!
I understood the story in 7min, what i didn't in 1h of watching other videos about the same topic. Of course you gave less details, but straight to the point was what i needed, thank you for this video, very great job ! ^^
Mission accomplished for me! :) Thanks so much for watching!
Great video.
Ranni's quest was one of the few stories that really captured my interest and to hear it explained with such clarity simply gives me a deeper appreciation for all the lore hidden away in the background.
Thank you so much! This has been my favorite storyline so far. Great characters, really amazing settings. They did a great job with it.
@KiteTales & Flex 100% agree.
From a story telling perspective, the game is amazing at feeding you bits at a time. A clue here. Another much later.
I had so much fun trying to follow along in game, but hearing you put it all together (great narration voice, btw) brought some much welcomed clarity to it all.
So well done. I'm loving these videos please keep them up!
Thank you so much! :)
These videos are incredible! Thanks for these amazing pieces and the hard work put on them
you are the best i could listen to you narrate lore from a game i’ve never heard of and be entertained
Awww you're so sweet, thank you! :)
I watched this video twice! Awesome video, I’m now gonna go do their quests! Such a great and well written video
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :)
Literally checked your channel today just to see if i missed any lore videos. watched your vids multiple times. absolutely amazing content. keep that shit up!!
Thank you so much!! Best compliment ever, I really appreciate it 😊
I just completed this whole story line and was not aware how deeply impactful it was. Awesome video and thanks for clarifying that!
Thank you so much for watching!
This was an amazing summarization of Ranni’s storyline. I’ve been looking for one 🙏🏼 so thank u :)
You should totally do either Rykard or Godwyn next 🤷♂️ both are very weird and sort of unknown
Thank you so much!!
I really thank you for telling the story like this. Made it 10x more clear to me. Such a sad ending.
Thank you! And yes it was such a sad ending, I wished it had a better outcome. ☹️
Love these lore videos. Ranni is my favorite character. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!
That was lovely
Thank you so much! :)
I love this quest line! Excellent video, it definitely brought some confusion to light, thanks!
Thank you for watching! :)
This is amazing, please keep it up, you are enhancing a world that is already breathtaking. Thank you
The greater wills learned their lesson with Marika and Malekith so they put a murder switch in Blaidd essentially
Very sad but beautiful story. I love Blaidd. Thank you for this
Blaidd is my absolutely favorite, it was such a sad ending for him. :(
These have been amazing! Please keep them coming
Thank you so much! 😊
"Wake up babe, new Elden Ring lore just dropped"
😎
I actually didn't end up back at rannis rise until after Blaidd had gone mad and I started wearing his armor so he could forever be of service to ranni.
Thanks so much for a clear concise explanation of this storyline! Looking forward to hearing your breakdowns of other characters / sub plots in the game
Thank you so much for watching!
rip Blaidd, our favorite step brother in law
I just finished this quest line and it was so good, I’m glad I found your video! This was an amazing summary
Thank you so much! And yes this quest was my favorite from the game so far.
Fantastic video, I didn't know much about Blaidd as I only found him at the festival, and later having gone mad at Ranni's rise. Nice to know he had an excellent bittersweet story.
Thank you! Blaidd is hands down one of my favorite characters from the game. They did such a great job with him.
LOVE IT ! Thank you so much. Was confused on some points there, but now everything is clear ! U really got a nice narrator voice. Good luck with your Channel!
Thank you so much!! :)
This was beautiful! Thank you for the lore.
Thank you so much for watching!
Amazing!! Thank you so much for these lore videos.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
This was INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much!!!
Amazing format to tell this story. 🙏
Thank you so much!! I'll be returning to this series for the DLC!
I got quite attached to these two during the quest. Even my equipment reflects it. Since I'm a mage I use Ranni's snow witch hat and Blaidd's chest and leg armor, and Lusat's arms. It looks pretty cool honestly.
I was trying to play through this storyline thoroughly and I still missed the whole last chunk with Blaidd and Iji. Awesome video!
Thank you! Yeah this one was difficult for me to follow as I was doing it; I had summons in my ear complaining about lost runes!!
Brilliant video, Ranni’s questline was the most memorable part of Elden Ring for me.
Thank you! And yes I can see that, it'll be hard to top it.
These are so good it gives you that fantasy feeling ya know
That is exactly what I’m going for so I’m glad to hear that! 😊 Thank you!
Fantastic video! Really filled in a lot of the blanks I had.
Thank you so much!!
just played through the quest, got chill all over hearing your narration. Beautifully told👍
Thank you so much! 😊
absolutely loving the lore videos, please more
Thank you so much! :)
Just finished the quest line. Thanks again for another stellar break down of the lore. I had so many questions after I finished everything lol.
OH MAAAAAAAN This made me cry the most 😭😭😭😭 Thank you so much. You are such a great storyteller!
Thank you so much!! It was such a sad story... one of many in this game :(
Wow! This is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU!
I knew the Two Fingers were insane, and not in the literal Three Fingers way, but damn... that's just straight up cold.
Two Fingers makes Frampt look honest and ethical in comparison.
Another great vid. Did the Radahn fight this week and a lot of this went over my head. Great to have the back story
Thank you so much! 😊
Okay, I’m gonna need more of these videos. GJ!
Thank you so much! 😊
I'm here for more of that sweet Elden Ring lore lol
Thanks for making these videos!
Is her path truly the noble of many? The weight of the Greater Will can often be quite straining even for the most patient of minds. I try and think, but all I can seem to remember is the words of a failed Martyr stationed in his frozen post. “Not all heroic deeds are wise, and not all evil is foolish, but above all others we must strive for good.”
i never really care about the lore in souls-borne games but your videos have surely made me more interested and curious about the story, thank you so much, love what you're doing
Wow thank you so much!! 😊 Yeah I was the same way, I didn’t think I would be into anything at first but I have been loving the story!
So far this is my favorite piece of Lore.
This is the best storyline and I just finished the game today with Ranni's ending. So fun
These videos are awesome, just binged all the Elden rings you have. I need more! 😂
Thank you so much!! I'm trying to make one every week! :)
Please keep these coming! I *love* your concise delivery of these stories. This was my absolute favorite Questline in the game and you give this tale the gravity it deserves.
I'd love to see some stuff about the Scarlet rot, how it maybe relates to Astel...(i have a pet theory about how it seems to be like terraforming the lands....for those insect guys we see in the places with the rot....like the lake of rot area)
Thank you so much! 😊 And I 100% about this being my favorite quest… you can tell they put a lot of work into planning this one and it’s just so wonderful.
I definitely want to look at the Scarlet Rot and what’s going on there, and I love your theory about it terraforming the land!!
@@kitetales yeah. It just seems so other-worldly and given how close the largest concentration is (lake of rot) to Astel who is definitely not of the world, i have a feeling it's all interconnected.
You are now my go-to RUclipsr for Elden ring lore. Please send more content.
Thank you so much!! That is a huge honor! 😊
