Why did Marika need the crucible to make the Erdtree, but this dude made a great-tree before he was even a fucking god?
>>737153319Miquella feet.
>>737153319Marika's tree had an alium in it and Miquella's didn't. Womp womp.
>>737153319Are you talking about the small, rotten, sad tree where we found Malenia?
pumping into Kai daily
>>737153319The Haligtree is a sapling of the Erdtree tho, he just fed it with his blood. Without the Erdtree it wouldn't exist.
The Haligtree is a little cuck tree isn't it?
>>737153639Goatse tree if you visualize where the twink was ripped out of it
>>737153319because elden ring's lore is a giant contradiction and nothing matters they just do some cryptic lore slop to get youtubers to make thousands of videos so people still talk about their goyslop games
>>737153319The Erdtree might have been growing for eons before Marika was even born, it just started finally sprouting on the surface in her era. The Elden Beast's arena shows Erdtrees throughout the galaxy, which likely indicates that the Greater Will has planted Erdtrees on various worlds to help create life. As for Miquella's Haligtree, Miquella probably used an Erdtree sapling as the basis, then "watered" it with his own demi-god blood, and even then it never was on track to become on par with the Erdtree as an alternative.
>>737153797You didn't understand elden ring's lore? Its all fantasy versions of Copper/Bronze/Iron Age eurasia.
>>737153970>The Erdtree might have been growing for eons before Marika was even bornIt starts growing after Marika leaves the realm beyond the gate and plants a tree in her hometown. The beast was just a rock in the earth until then.
>>737153319If you actually PAYED FUCKING ATTENTION you would've realized that the Haligtree was a fucking failure and only served as a haven for those afflicted with scarlet rot, and in the DLC we find out from the Scooby-Doo tree that Erdtrees are not really that special.
>>737154642Base game shows it too. in the forest near where you meet Blaidd there are scarabs dancing around a minor erdtree, when you get to the hidden snowfield there is a big dead tree out in the wastes that has scarabs dancing around it. Trees get made by a bunch of cultures.
>>737154472The tree in the Shaman Village isn't the Erdtree, it's an incantation in the shape of a tree. You can even walk straight through the thing, unlike even the misnomer "phantom" trees that Golden Seeds are found at. Also, the Elden Beast was sent to oversee the Elden Ring alongside the Elden Ring being sent to the planet. The Elden Beast potentially even is the Elden Ring.
>>737154748I didn't say the tree in her town is the erdtree, the beast got the idea to grow in a tree after she planted the one in her town. It couldn't become a thing until Marika formed a religion centered around a tree to coalesce corpses into. It needs to feed to grow and thats why Marika's religion warps into a death cult that pogroms everyone around them to create a death machine of war that will fuel corpses being funneled to the roots of the erdtree.
>>737153319He failed for a reason.
>>737154945The Elden Beast wouldn't have gotten an idea from Marika's tree incantation, the Elden Beast was already a mature entity (if it was ever even a juvenile entity) by that time. The Greater Will has been planting Erdtrees across various planets and the Elden Beast would have been present even in the ancient past when Farum Azula had the Elden Ring and an Empyrean-turned-god wielded it. Do you believe the Elden Beast was just a Lavos-like creature with literally no means to even first grow or obtain food?
>>737155351>Do you believe the Elden Beast was just a Lavos-like creature with literally no means to even first grow or obtain food?The game is a jap take on the Color Out of Space but the Color decides to take over instead of leave again. How media illiterate are you?
>>737155470The unimaginable color bubbles in that story could move and feed themselves just fine. You're pulling something out of your ass when there was no shortage of war and murder for any kind of color or Lavos to have fed on long before Marika. The Erdtree isn't even good at absorbing bodies, look at how many ancient corpses are still at the roots. Plus, why would the Erdtree's rays even heal people if the entire purpose of the Erdtree was just to eat people?
>>737155351kek
>>737155470>How media illiterate are you?Very
>>737153319>the crucibleThe what?
>>737155701When he gives you his schizobabble response reply with >which crucible?
>>737154642the scadutree existed alongside the crucible, the crucible was stolen and turned into the erdtree. if you think the crucible (or even the scadutree) is not that special you were the one not paying attention.
>>737156197Which crucible?
>>737156238Literally called the crucible of life, the one that became the erdtree when Marika committed her "sin", the one with the fucking tree sigil
>>737156503Which crucible are YOU talking about though? There are multiple.
>>737156197The Scadutree is inherently linked to the Erdtree, so much so that the hornsent with Falxes doesn't bother to refer to it with any reverence or pain. He doesn't think it was something sacred Marika ruined, he just refers to it as a mess in a matter-of-fact way.
>>737155701this
>>737156534I just told you in plain language dude. You think you're acting smart but holy shit you're stupid.
>>737156602The scadutree is in the shadowlands though, and the shadowlands had the crucible knot. So which crucible are you talking about?
>>737156646He probably doesn't even know the crucible symbol the crucible knights use is their post GO symbol because they are begrudgingly accepted in the GO out of fear of their power.
samefag on a wild one today
>>737156795Why is it you every time?
>>737153319because the crucible is just the natural flow of power from death. normalizing it forms a spiral that flows to heaven. a giant tree is just very efficient at harvesting and concentrating that power.
>>737154249you'd be amazed how often the fucking constant, in your face alchemy references fly over people's heads
>>737157295Some of the characters are overtly named after their mythological counterparts I don't get how anyone could not get this stuff unless that had literally 0 knowledge base about the game's topics. >Horah LOUX defeats the fire giants of the fell eye >LUGH defeats the fomorian giants and their leader Balor the Evil Eye
>>737153319Miquella's tree was also planted by the Great Will when it came back to the Lands Between because it forgot that it had already planted the original Erdtree.
We know from items descriptions the Elden Beast had to come first. But then its also commonly accepted Metir was the one and only sign of the Greater Will this world received.So, did they come together? Or what?Yes, I know SOTE ruined a lot of things, but lets TRY to make sense of it
>>737157590Metyr, then a bunch of stuff after.
>>737157590i think nobody knows the elden ring is tied to the greater will, if indeed it even is in the long run since it predates all other forms of the greater will's agents like the two fingers. the dragons had it before marika did after all
>>737157590A bunch of meteors with magic rocks fell a long time ago. Metyr is the first godthing produced by the people on the planet, the elden beast is the last to become a godthing. They all spend an indetermined time as a rock under the ground before anything can manifest them as a thing.
>>737153319Because
>>737157590why do you guys treat every new piece of information like it's a retcon instead of just accepting new content shed light on something you were wrong about?are you the same guys that say gwyn creating the darksign was ds3 fanfiction even though that information fits neatly into what ds1 implies? if artorias of the abyss were released today we would have a contingent of headcanon autists moaning about how him not actually sealing the abyss ruined the lore.
>>737153970cool pic
>>737153319Same logic as all Miyazaki's games. Don't think about it, just kill whatever is put in front of you.
>>737157590Metyr arrived first, probably scouting if the planet was fully conducive to generating life on (such as if another outer god didn't have a presence there first). After the planet was deemed suitable, the Elden Beast and the Elden Ring were likely sent, and the Erdtree was then first created to generate life on the planet.
>>737153319Why does he want to have gay sex with his brother?Where there literally no female consorts?
>>737160787well, he could've fucked himself like his mom/dad did and made st. trina his consort, but threw her in a pit instead
>>737153319I only like little boys.I don't care about Fromslop games.
