OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH ELDEN RING
>zOmg teh lore!!
>>683696539Melina is intended to be mysterious
>>683696932Kino
>>683697106Melina is just a Maiden expy because From is vaguely aware that people liked Maiden. She plays the exact same role, even.
>>683696932kek
Elden Ring 2 will be about Marika and Melina mainly
>>683696987Civitai link to this model?
>smash and slam humans into a huge jar to make a golem out of the goyimwhat the hell fromsoft
How would people from the Lands Between react to a hollow or a hunter? Could they smell the darkness or beast aids on them?
>>683696932lel so true
>>683697106Meli Meli just wanted to foist an old car on (you)
>>683696539Melinas lore is much much deeper, but theres more lore for the jars in total.Prepare for a discord sister meltdown when anons start talking about her connection to the twin bird of death and the Gloam eyed queen.
>>683699301That's just fanfiction. None of that is in the game.
>>683696932Incredible
>>683699382Shes already having her melty lolololol
I am malenia blade of masturbation, and I have never known release.
>>683696932Lmao
>>683699696>sheno girls on the internet, faggotgo suck Vaati's dick, why don't you?
>>683696932Lol hes going to keep replying to it
Canonically, would Melina have sex with the tarnished if he asked her to?
>>683700074>CanonicallyCanonically, she has almost no personality or purpose in the game, so who the fuck knows?
>>683696674I don't know why you'd admit to being illiterate like that
>>683700074Yes
>>683699959Shes still having her melty
>>683696932>*follows rays*Does anyone actually follow the rays?
>>683700359Everyone does.
>>683696539>UUURRRGGGHHHH LUBE ME UP TARNISHED LUBE ME ALL OVER HIT ME FROM BEHIND AS HARD AS YOU CAN OOOOOHHHHH I'M PROOOOOLLLLAAAAPPPPSSSSINNNGGGGWhat was his problem?
>>683696932Eh, the pasta worked nuch better for the Witcher since it was mostly true. Tweak it a bit and it will be good.
>>683700490He is going to reply to it all thread regardless the actual quality doesnt matter.
>>683696539i dont pay attention to the story in these games, from what i gathered they put a bunch of meat in jars with humans to make them into saints but im not sure how or why they came up with that idea. did i get it wrong? bare in mind, this is what the normies will think too because nobody except autistics and trannies care about fromsoft story slop
>>683700703They were formerly great warriors transformed into jars by the devious green witches of Glounthaune.
>shabriiririri calls be a selfish punkass if I so much as considered sacrificing my maiden to burn the erdtree >says I should man-up and do it myself with the help of the frenzied flame, and to take whatever consequences for my own actions myself instead of involving my maiden >do malenia's whole chapter of the game>millicent's needle is upgraded and now it claims it can banish the frenzied flame from inside me and prevent its influence >ok >so now that I have a means to resist the frenzied flame >I can do as shabririrrr told me, and burn the tree myself instead of burning melina for it >do so>melina still hates me forever even though I saved her life, even though I gave the frenzied flame the middle finger, and even though I managed to achieve the objective with both of us alive instead of just one of usWhat the fuck Melina???
>>683701423Melina really wants to burn and die and you took her opportunity to do so.
>>683701423The sheer fact that you did something so stupid and took on something she absolutely does not want while relying on a fucking needle to abate cosmic chaos is reason enough to hate your dumb ass, even if the frenzy never manifests. You also took her purpose from her.
>>683701423>justice spanning multiple ages ruined by some fags selfishness of some mook tarnished>doesnt get why shes upsetGenuine autism
>>683700703The hornsent wanted to shove people in jars so they did and it was very funny until one of the pot people became a god and exterminated them like roaches
>>683701423>Melina tells him, directly, that he should never take frenzied flame>take frenzied flame>WOOOOOW HOW COULD I KNOW SHE WILL HATE ME?!
>>683701423>>millicent's needle is upgraded and now it claims itNot how it works. You return her (Malenia's) needle and get a different one Miquella made in exchange.And now it just occurred to me that the dlc doesn't work at all with the part of the game where the merchant note tells you about Miquella's needle. A player trying to find Miquella himself in the shadow land to for that is just going on a wild goose chase.
>>683702298But I have the antitode. Melina...
>>683701423Did you speak with her right after encountering Shabriri?
>>683702336A player wont be trying to do that in the shadow lands so it doesnt matter.
>>683700071obligatory elden ring thread schizo post
>>683702865Notice the replies stopped tho
>>683703203>Notice the replies stopped thoYeah. Calling out a discord tactic usually stops it like we saw. They are a very shame filled collective.
>>683696674>discord npc rushing into the thread as fast as he fucking can just to be first reply>"THEREISNOFROMSOFTLORE!!"You need to stop trying to hard. It's a video game, not the election.
>>683701423Question. Why the fuck should I give a shit about Melina? She appears out of nowhere, displays no personality, has no meaningful interaction with the player, no backstory, nothing to give a shit about.Am I supposed to just care because uhhhh muh youtube lore or something?
>>683703616>They are a very shame filled collective.It comes from letting themselves get groomed and knowing they shouldn't have let it happen but it's too late.
>>683704102Answer. You should care about all thing big and small unless you've experienced an ego death and dont care about anything anymore.Hope this helps!
>>683701423>don't burn your girlfriend in the forge of the giants, bro>obtain the flame of frenzy and burn her with that10/10 captain of debating team right there.
>>683704208>You should care about all thing big and smallExcept all the generic enemies that rush at you with a death wish, I assume?
>>683704835You should care about all things unless the troon that groomed you made you experience an ego death and you became suicidal.
Started playing the fromsoft games, Just finished DS1 for the first time and I really enjoyed it. I got DS2 on sale, what am I in for?
>>683705012Humiliation
>>683705012>what am I in for?Logs of shit
>>683704970Can you even beat ER as a pacifist?
>>683705012Worse experience then 1 but not as bad as the internet discussion presents it
>>683703864*laughs in actual lore, in-game books, stories, legends, hearsay and other, legitimate methods of worldbuilding*
>>683705109>>683704970
>>683705012Knights. Lots of them. Also gank squads.
>>683705341Not what I asked, groomer-san.
>>683705425That's your answer. You need to be 18 or older to post on 4chan.
>>683700703Marika's people have malleable flesh that acts like glue with other flesh hence the grafting shit early on.The hornsent decided to turn her people into biological construction material for a divine gate by mashing them into flesh jars.Marika did nothing wrong.
>>683696932spbp
Could Melina be just a spirit of Marika?
>>683700074She says that she's bodiless yet you can hold her hand, this character is weird.
>>683706286No>>683706289Torrent is a spirit but you can ride him.
>>683706397>Torrent is a spirit but you can ride him.No one called him bodiless though
>>683706554All spirits are bodiless by default. That is why they are spirits.
>>683706286DLC pretty much confirms she's Marika's daughter
>>683706673You're so smart and handsome, nonny.
>>683706715It confirms shes possessed by the twinbird of death too. Anon asking knows as well it's a gimmick post he asks in all threads and always gets the same answers.>>683706803Thanks pakledanon
>>683706673Wrong
>>683706715It was confirmed in the base game
>>683706925Nah hes right. Take your L and pick a new topic to rant about.>>683706941So was her possession but the dlc had to spell it out even more blatantly for the idiots.
>>683696674You must have reading comprehension above the 5th grade to post here.
>>683707068A ghost can possess a suit of armor and he would then be a spirit with a body.Cope.
>>683707371>seething againLol cant even take her L with honor
>>683706941>>683707068Yeah, base game implies she's Marika's daughter. Dlc spells it out.
>>683707498It also explains she is possessed by an ayy in the base game. Dlc spells it out for the midwits.
bump
>>683696932kekit do be like that
>>683697106She's just a shit Souls maiden, I doubt she's intended to be anything else at all.
>>683696539Is the Greatjar of Caelid the most powerful character, in the lore? You can do NOTHING to him.What the FUCK is Miyazaki’s problem? You can kill fucking MIRIEL, too, and he says he cannot be killed (they obviously did this so the player would feel terrible).Why are there so many dead dragons the size of mount fucking Everest? We can’t kill those, but we kill the things that DID. Is Miyazaki actually worse than George when it comes to scale? Never mind the size of the Wall. This shit is infuriating.
>>683711275Imagine if he stood up and started spinning Literal Armageddon
>>683711275In all seriousness Miyazaki doesn't care about scale at all. You get places like Bonny Village that have a dozen huts, but are piled with thousands upon thousands of corpses and apparently those are only the ones slain, they carted the lion's share elsewhere.
Why is Bonny village built over an Eternal City or something? Are the ‘shaman’ the silver tears that left for the surface? Is it why they are mushy and malleable?
>>683711528The over the top amount of dead bodies everywhere is one of the funniest parts of his games. “Something bad happened here…” “Yeah, it’s a little bit ridiculous, no? Literally what did they eat”
>>683711528>>683711696MOUNTAINS OF CORPSES
>>683711539I thought of that too, since Rogier literally stated queen Marika is related to them. The Nox/tears were even called/named ‘descendant of Marika’ in the beta, so too.
Forgive me...... miquale....
>>683711275How many people were put inside this giganigga?
>>683712932Just your mom
>>683712932It’s probably a post-Marika jar, as in, it is filled with the best of the best, of warriors that lived and died. A walking grave. The nature is wholesome, in contrast with the unwholesome ness of the originals, filled with the flesh of innocent shaman. They’d rather you live your life, before ‘collecting’ their fill. The Hornsent just shoved you in.But the number of heroes inside must be truly grand indeed…
>>683711275You can’t kill Azur or Lusat either, or npcs the game doesn’t want you to kill.
>>683696932Reminder that this gameplay and story even in your bastardized form of it is still 1000% better then most video games today.
>>683713887Who hurt you?
