Note that amongst the demigods, Mohg is also missing his left eye. And as others have noted, Ranni's true form is the spirit that is missing a left eye (which is where she overlaps with her mirror-image doll, on its missing right eye). I think the missing left eye in some way represents sinning against the Erdtree / Greater Will. Those children of Marika/Radagon who turned their back on the Erdtree. Whether that's an in-world thing, or literary symbolism, I'm still not sure.
I believe Mohg doesn't follow these patterns, i believe it's showing his devotion to his omen heritage as he refueses to trim his horn even if he will lose an eye for it. For Ranni the 2 faces to me at least, have it's own symbolism but for the eyes and it's symbolism i wouldn't rely on the spirit face.
@@G4meplus Thank you for the reply! That seems very true of Mohg, at least in-universe. From a literary symbolism perspective, I'm still caught on that fact that of the two Omen twins, only the one who has turned against the Ertree is missing an eye, and it's the same eye that many others are missing. Great channel btw! Quickly has come to the top of my Elden Lore watchthroughs.
To me, that matters but its less symbolic and more practical, to the nature of reality. Eyes are just a funnel for filtered distortions of reality and illusions What good does your ocular faculty do when your mother is a habitual liar with an illusion addiction and you see the source code anyway
I think you’re onto something, like Ranni’s spirit has her right eye closed but that closed eye is where her and the doll overlap. Like a connection point, and maybe the sealed right eye for the other demigods is their connection point to another god. Mohg and the formless mother, Melina and the gloam eyed queen.
@@NB-go1lo well, we learned some things about eyes in the DLC. That they are where power resides. That Marika was able to keep Messmer’s flame and serpent at bay by inserting her own seal into his eye socket. That Miquella giving up his eye was akin to him giving up his legacy from the golden order. Both Queeling and Jolan can be converted to spirit ashes by placing a gold seal in their eyes, and … I’m honestly not actually sure what happens when you put the dark seal over their eyes, some form of eternal despair in death?
Thought about this for months, been saying this for the last year, check every statue and likeness, nada. Ironically until I see HIS eyes, they might as well not exist. Same goes for Godwyn's legs and any other Demi God not Omen cursed, I don't assume you can walk until Miyazaki shows you walking. Until then Ranni, Radahn, Rykard, Malenia - you're all assumed to be more capable refined Albinauric / Mimic extensions
All the shaman are blind. In Japanese they are called Itako, which are blind female shamans from northern Japan who are said to have the ability to communicate with spirits. Note, all the Jarred up shaman have blindfolds.
It makes a lot of sense that the middle eye would be sleep. The right is life and the erdtree while the left is night/moon and death. So, the eye between them(middle eye) would between life and death, therefore sleep. This was a really interesting video, good job!
I can tell this chanel is gonna explode in no time by the way he uses ancient myths culture and sciences to couple it with theories and come with strong fundamentals. Love your videos bro
we get the eye seal items of Merica and Radagon and in their final shattered forms they both seem to be missing an eye too, not to mention Garrang and the purple viby eye that reacts to death root - he seems to be missing an eye as well. We never get to properly see Malenia's eyes - by the time we meet her they'r both gone-ish with rot but she could've been missing one, We never see Miquella - cound be missing one too, Radan seems to be ok though...
Great peep, have you taken a look at the demigods but for their ability to walk and have functioning legs ? We know miquella is well informed/educated/intelligent, and we can see several depictions of him from the status across Elphael, Ordina, Sellia? Trina's Hideaway and the carving on St Trina's Torch or the Sword of St. Trina where his eyes are closed or obscured.
@@GhostWriter-Gohan i dont think theres any mention of them having walking affliction. In case of Rhadan i remember someone looking into it and character art or trailer vs him now and it seems that after centuries and being mad and drugging his feet on sand and then literally being destroyed / rubbed off due to friction - and they do look like a scarred bloody mess at the bottom. Malenia is bouncing around just fine. Others seem to be fine too and Miquela we only ever see in statues and there's no soccer in the lands between so theres no statues of him running around :( His eyes do seem to be either cloed or looking down and I do believe he is usually shown exposing the left eye and maybe that one is closed like Melina but right one is open? who knows
grace is most likely a illusion that is only in the eye, possibly even erdtree is only illusion too, that is why most enemies have lil bits of gold and their eyes.
I wonder if it goes even deeper than just grace being an illusion, what else could be visually be manipulated in TLB, is it possible to distinguish the nature of reality. Is there even one? Maybe a little out of scope, and half joking but anyone who thinks that question is stupid must also believe Martin and Miyazaki have never been interested or found value in philosophy (A+ defense against criticism 😂)
Great job. All your videos are very insightful. It’s like we all missed a few tiny details, things we all overlooked. You’re answering questions we didn’t even know we had
One thing i want mentioned about this topic is the status effect They usually come in pairs (with exception of death blight) painting them in somewhat of relationship Like the poison and rot , bleed and freeze , frenzy and sleep , They pair share icon when you are being effected by it for example the bleed and freeze icon is a wound , bleed depicte the wound with blood while the freeze depict wound being frozen For the frenzy it depicts eyes being open while sleep depicting the eyes being closed
I'm surprised you did not mention the watchdog's greatsword. It's text reads: "Though decorated with the watchman's eye, the pupil was taken by graverobbers and is now hollow, leaving this sword a mere lump of stone." The watchman 100% makes me think of Gideon. The eye on the sword also looks very similar to the one on his armor. Also, that could implicate Gideon as the maker of the watchdogs, imps and possibly the stone golems. The golems even look a little like Gideon. Lastly I'm also surprised you did not mention the scarabs. I think one even has an mark of an eye on it that looks vaguely like the eye of Horus/Ra. Also scarabs are supposed to push the sub in Egyptian myth, if I'm not mistaken. So the scarabs are a little on the nose if you're correct about the Egyptian influences overall.
great remarks my friend, that's what i meant by saying he used us to aquire more knowledge. There is an awesome old video by AgtJake that talks about this and it's almost became common knowledge at this point that he is stacking us through scarabs and other means so i didn't want to prolong the video talking about this part.

@@K8theKind overnights are killin me I totally don't remember forcing that pun😂 I don't mean to belabour, I saw your name show up as ''K8 Colloidal Electrum' - have you paid much attn to the Miquellan Knight Sword, I was curious on your thoughts about its design/ iconography? Dont laugh, but I first thought it was portraying electrons, since then I've bounced types of plants, celestial bodies and an atomic model. I think I've found myself having replied to your comments unknowingly, half a dozen times this year. I'll have to find worse interests and talk less 🤕😂
@@GhostWriter-Gohan the Miquellan Knights sword intrigued me quite a lot, because at first I thought it depicted the sun and flowers, etc… but the reason my name is colloidal electrum.. is because I have a theory that Miquella represents electrum. The sap from the haligtree is green. From the erdtree it is gold, from the crucible tree it has hues of reddish gold. Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold, combining their qualities in a gold colour that is slightly dulled with a green hue. Miquella was once known for his position firmly and staunchly about unalloyed gold. But I think when he dropped fundamentalism, he also dropped unalloyed gold. Part of the many reasons I think this beyond the sap of the haligtree being green is the colour of the haligtree knight armour set is more electrum than pure unalloyed gold. Additionall the sap from the haligtree would be directly infused with the blood of Miquella. Lastly, when you attempt to make a colloid of electrum with a laser in a clear fluid vessel, the colloid is not green or gold. The plume is purple. PURPLE!!! Like St. Trina!!! St. Trina whose plumes of sleep are purple but whose swords are silver. If you were to melt down the Miquellan knight sword and the sword of st Trina and blend them together it would be an electrum sword!! Those bits of haligtree sap in the Miquellan knight sword could VERY WELL be doubling as suns AND flowers AJD ELECTRONS!!!’ LE GASP!!!!! 😂🤣😂💕
LETS GET THIS VIDEO OUT THERE! I have never seen this take before on elden ring lore. GamePlus once again bringing that NEW LORE to the lands between. I am so excited for ALLLLLL of the content you will make once the DLC drops!! Thank you for such great work.
@@G4meplus thank you for the reply and engaging with your audience! If you're looking for suggestions on next video I would love to see something on the ecology and geographical structure of the lands between, and what may have influenced the design from real life
This is a super cool super theory, but Melina isn’t the only one who can burn the erdtree, as we learn in the game every Maiden serves as kindling for burning the erdtree, so maybe Mesmer can’t burn the erdtree himself either
Have you noticed Lillies do have 3 curves? 2 from the leaves and 1 for the flower itself? You know who has 3 curves on her closed eye? :v So Trina, meaning Trinus (Trinity) could be like the holy trinity one metaphor? St. Trina is in reality a trinity which consists on Melina, Miquella and Messmer? Melina been the Limbo (death), Miquella been the light (Holy) and Messmer been the fire (Hell). Now if this is correct then there is another reason to think that... If melina represents death... is she really then The Gloamed Eye Queen? v:
Interesting. George RR Martin wrote the prehistory to Elden Ring and in his novel ASOIAF there's this line when magic returns to the world: "Blind Sybassion the Eater of Eyes can see again."
You should add to this that the one and only time we saw Godwin, he opened his left eye... Maybe for the first time, his death allowing him to do so...
In my opinion, Marika, Radagon, Malenia and Miquella have their one eyes closed. We have never seen Marika' s both eyes of her human form and never seen Malenia' s and Radagon' s too. Don't fall into their presentation in the statues I mean their living- fleshling forms. Idk but it makes me wonder everytime.
The all father himself ripped out his own eye in Norse mythology in pursuit of knowledge, thats why i thought these demigods have missing eyes having to exchange it for some greater power.
A closed eye also means ignorance. Having your mind set on something so much, that you start to overlook things or take things for granted. Close one eye, you simply cant see as well, you miss things.
Trina is derived from Latin trena, meaning triple. Remove the t, rena sounds literally the same as Renna . Considering Ranni's sense of an alias is just changing one letter, if you wonder where she learned that habit from, it loops back to prove itself, bing bong ezpz @@juice2307
awesome things about Odin, that he could see into the future, maybe Miquella, who is actually Mesmer (according to one theory) might have known all along what to do, just like Dr. Strange in infinity war ; )
Another tie to eyes can be connected to the release date of June 21, the Summer Solstice. Summer Solstice is significant as it is a celebration time of the Shinto Sun deity, Amaterasu, sister to the Moon deity and the Storm/Sea deity - who after a fight with the Sun deity was banished to the underworld where he became associated with snakes and dragons. The Sun and Moon were born from the eyes, and Storm from the nose, of their male/Father dual-gender parent after the female/Mother dual-gender parent became trapped in the underworld having died from burning during the birth of their first child, the deity of Fire. Fascinating stuff. Different versions abound - my favorite involves another brother, the Leech child who was born cursed with no bones meaning he would never grow past childhood nor walk. Worth a look given that specific date for release!
i think the dynamic of ranni vs melena as two Eye of Horus vs the Eye of Ra. can also be seen in miquella vs mesmer as two opposing faction of the ending of the DLC
7:07 "What is the most destructive thing you can do in the lands between ?" - Clapping Marika's cheeks ? "You guessed it, burning the Erdtree" - I was very far...
In anceint Judaic and likely other esoteric beliefs, the eyes of those god(s) were what the gods' used to impose Order onto tht primal Chaos of reality. Sight was not merely an act of perceiving reality but defining it just as our mind takes the jumble of incoming data and tries to determine what is actually going on and defines our own internal reality. Thus the interplay of eyes and faith. Faith is literally defines how one perceives reality and affects how one will try to alter that reality to fit their faith.
I think the demigods' powers are found in the eye. We find soreseals and scarseals which denote the lifelong service of those chosen by the gods, those eyes give us power at a cost. I think taking out a demigods eyes or sealing the eyelid shut diminishes their powers.
While all that might be true, it is hard to currently make sense of considering the classical use of eyes in our history. With a lose of sight in the real world opens sight in another realm; some kind of esoteric, forbidden or magic knowledge/wisdom. With complete blindness being a character giving themselves to the 'other world', but having only 1 eye, presenting having gained wisdom yet staying in the real world making use of such wisdom for mortal aspirations. Such allegory paints, albeit simple, a neat picture of the narrative fromsoft gives, while the ideas you have given seem to rely on a bit much well-wishing, at least for now. Let's see what the dlc have in store for us.
Are you working on a video for the Gloam Eyed Queen, id like to bounce some ideas and unresolved patterns your way or drop them by email if you're receptive!
if you sacrificed her then went and inherited the frenzied flame before fighting Radagon Melina will not appear at the end to deliver you destined death.
@@G4meplus that doesnt mean she is dead. And who you think transfered you to Azula and then to Capital? She lied about amnesia. Serving Fingers. Messmir is her twin.

i think the dynamic of ranni vs melena as two Eye of Horus vs the Eye of Ra. can also be seen in miquella vs mesmer as two opposing faction of the ending of the DLC
Intestinal take.
7:07 "What is the most destructive thing you can do in the lands between ?"
- Clapping Marika's cheeks ?
"You guessed it, burning the Erdtree"
- I was very far...
Lol.
One eye closed is the mark of an empyrean, who art yet to become one
Grant us eyes, grant us eyes... Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy...
On the topic of eyes, did anyone notice the old yellow guy's left eye is covered?
In anceint Judaic and likely other esoteric beliefs, the eyes of those god(s) were what the gods' used to impose Order onto tht primal Chaos of reality. Sight was not merely an act of perceiving reality but defining it just as our mind takes the jumble of incoming data and tries to determine what is actually going on and defines our own internal reality. Thus the interplay of eyes and faith. Faith is literally defines how one perceives reality and affects how one will try to alter that reality to fit their faith.
I think the demigods' powers are found in the eye. We find soreseals and scarseals which denote the lifelong service of those chosen by the gods, those eyes give us power at a cost. I think taking out a demigods eyes or sealing the eyelid shut diminishes their powers.
Interesting take.
While all that might be true, it is hard to currently make sense of considering the classical use of eyes in our history. With a lose of sight in the real world opens sight in another realm; some kind of esoteric, forbidden or magic knowledge/wisdom. With complete blindness being a character giving themselves to the 'other world', but having only 1 eye, presenting having gained wisdom yet staying in the real world making use of such wisdom for mortal aspirations.
Such allegory paints, albeit simple, a neat picture of the narrative fromsoft gives, while the ideas you have given seem to rely on a bit much well-wishing, at least for now. Let's see what the dlc have in store for us.
Maybe it’s an indication of the eye of occultation
9:45 Where is this from, I love the pros.
Are you working on a video for the Gloam Eyed Queen, id like to bounce some ideas and unresolved patterns your way or drop them by email if you're receptive!
I would be happy to receive those, you will find my contact email in the about section on the channel page.
Was "the eyes have it" taken for a title for the video?
Ssssoooo what about Melina being the maiden for Messmer, and she was the one burned for the great tree when it was burned down
great stuff.
Don't we have to insert the unalloyed needle into our eyes to ward off the outer gods?
The game doesn't specifically tell us that but i think it's very logical yes, great catch.
Even mogh has 1 eye
Is Melina actually an alter ego of Mesmer?
I think St. Trina opened her third eye.
I like that interpretation.
Is this gonna prove my theory that Ranni, Melina, Messmer and Miquella are the same person?
Yes, because Miquella is Mycelia from Mycology and Micelle from Cytology.
I don’t know about Ranni, but I think Melina, Messmer, Miquella, and St Trina are the same person
Love your channel, I can tell you are Egyptian!
You know what they say, "eyes are the windows to the soul"!
Who told you that after burn Melina is dead?
if you sacrificed her then went and inherited the frenzied flame before fighting Radagon Melina will not appear at the end to deliver you destined death.
@@G4meplus that doesnt mean she is dead.
And who you think transfered you to Azula and then to Capital?
She lied about amnesia. Serving Fingers. Messmir is her twin.
