>>
My biggest issue is that Miquella was preoccupied with overcoming unsolvable problems like Godwyn’s super death, malenia’s rot, and the flame of frenzy. Or Mohg and the Formless Mother.

The DLC is more about Miquella’s attempt to end the cycle of violence. His interest in the outer gods is lost. Radahn has very little to do thematically with these things, and his connection to rot isn’t really solved as much as side stepped.

It's good game design that he uses moves that are recognizable but still difficult to dodge. Pretty much all of his moves can be traced back to the Starscourge Radahn fight, his foot soldiers, or elites you fight throughout the game. Yet he still manages to be the most challenging boss in the game.

Go for it but don't expect anything to change. 1 of 2 scenarios will happen after this DLC.
1, and most likely; From thinks they actually pushed a good product and the vast majority of reviews, and the sales, back that up. Apparently fans want convoluted storylines, wandering around a world with nothing in it, and re-used assets with fanservice slapped on top. Nothing will change. ER2 will come out. It will probably be ER1 but worse in many ways. It will either be From's first major souls game that sells poorly. Or, the precursor to it and then From will wonder why the next game flops because "it's what the fans wanted"

2, and less likely; From is actually aware of how sloppily and hastily taped together the DLC is. Regardless, they aren't going to change or learn from it in any capacity. The next entry will either be a spin off, or such a major departure from the first game, similar to DAS2, and have it's own massive set of problems and issues.

What's more likely and built up to
>Haligtree and Miquella are allied with Caria
>The Nox have been trying to create an Elden Lord to have their own age with Mimic Tears but failed
>The Nox and Ranni orchestrated the assassinations to have Radahn as Lord and Ranni as God, creating a direct like of succession and eliminating every possible Demigod willing to be Elden Lord.
>Ranni was playing 12D chess, fucked everybody over by rejecting Godhood and transfered her soul to a doll, becoming an enemy of the Nox too and planning her Age of Stars with the Elden Ring away
>Radahn sees the aftermath of the Night of the Black Knives and rejects Miquella's betrayal of the Golden Order
>Miquella finds out about Godwyn creating deathblight, a power to bring souls away from the pull of Destined Death, so return them from the tree.
>Tries to use it against various Soulless Demigods to have a Lord but fails as the sun won't Eclipse (the sun in alchemy is tied to Life and vital energy)
>So he goes to the Land of Shadow, obscured from the Sun, a place where Marika confined Death, and uses that power there, since he doesn't need to Eclipse the sun.
>Radahn, whose soul is called back, is resurrected as Lord. Mohg, who has no grace and can be charmed, is manipulated and his body is used as vessel.

Or
>Miquella wanted Godwyn, who has its own ending and questline, and wanted to use the Eclipse and Deathblight (which is something that is produced by Godwyn) to resurrect him, despite Godwyn having no ties to Eclipse imagery. Also Miyazaki went mad and completely cut this and all the ties between Caria and the Haligtree and the plot about Radahn halting the stars and Malenia vs Radahn being Guts vs Griffith second fight are a complete coincidence and weren't supposed to build up to anything. The Black Knives Assassins, Caria and Ranni targeted Godwyn for no reason.

We fight Sulyvahn, Artorias, enemies unrelated to Radahn, and bosses disconnected from the DLC given the DLC only needs Radahn and Mohg defeated, and an optional version of a DS2 NPC in Elden Ring?

A boss reusing animations works if everything else about it is strong enough to make up for it, if anyone pointed it out it would come off as more of a novelty.
But Radahn feels lazy in enough aspects that when people bring it up it just confirms their opinion on the boss being bad.

>>489601797
In some cases it makes sense. Soul of Cinder uses moves from previous people who linked the flame, culminating in Gwyn. Gael's first phase has homages to Artorias and Manus because they're all using Abyss or dark powers from Pygmys. And they have phases where they have other moves. SoC uses many moves a player could've used in past games to symbolize everyone who linked the flame. Gael's later phases highly resemble Guts but are very unique to Soulsborne with the crossbow, cape, and movements.

My genuine response;
Trying to link vaguely related pieces of information to form a conclusion, a conclusion that had to be justified with a shitty blender animation at the end of the DLC, is dogshit storytelling.
However, the indicators that this DLC was going to feature Godwyn in a more prominent role than more random Goop faces in Mausoleums are far more compelling.

My meme answer;
>Godwyn shows up in his superhero costume and uses his superpowers and drops a Funko Pop of himself
Considering the anime direction Elden Ring went, yes.

we already fought him so of course some of his moves will be similar (meteor attack, rock throws, starcaller cry), reusing movesets and making miquella's role in the fight being "same attacks but now i'll blind you with light aoe" is insanely lazy

It's actually insane how much more sense Godwyn makes this in this plot and I was one of the people dismsising the idea of Godwyn being in the DLC before it launched. But if you knew the plot was "Miquella is trying to obtain godhood in an alternate way, and to do that he needs to have another male demigod killed and revived as part of a ritual, stuffing their soul in Mohg's body so they can be his consort", and also that Miquella kept calling this person "lord brother" (same label he uses for Godwyn on the Golden Epitaph)... well you're a fucking liar if you say that you would've guessed Radahn.

With Godwyn
>Death focus of the DLC now makes sense
>Miquella's eclipse eyes now make sense
>he's actually kind and has a relationship with Miquella, this is shown by the narrative; no need to headcanon anything
>Malenia's war in Caelid was to free the stars thus letting the eclipse ritual go forward to revive him
>Radahn fighting her makes perfect sense as they're his direct rivals for a new age
>Ranni having Godwyn killed makes sense for the same reason; she stops Miquella's godhood in its tracks while she works a different plan
>thematically consistent with Radahn fighting the other son of Godfrey in an attempt to supplant him
>the Amber Starlight item clearly references Miquella
>Lhutel's ashes talking about soulless demigods being revived in the past becomes foreshadowing
>Castle Sol portends the whole revelation
>the statue of a long-haired pretty boy in the Haligtree is clearly Godwyn
>no headcanon
>no need to cope about why the final boss is Holy-based (he only has two gravity attacks which could easily have been reskinned) or why he shares moves with Godwyn's dad and FUCKING DEATH KNIGHTS
>on the same note the Death Knights in the DLC looking for a surrogate for Godwyn don't come across as a complete red herring
>this probably ties to why the Scadutree looks like Death Blight too (currently the Scadutree has no relevance and no character references it)

In the multiplayer menu, press Y/triangle and input the multi password in the first field. The five fields are for passive multiplay which increases the runes you gain and gives you notifications when someone beats a major boss. Put 'erg' in the passive passwords, it's fun.
>>489602748
I guess so but I can't use summons and he's too aggro on me or he just fucking teleports on the other side of the arena and I can't reach him.

Radahn literally shows up as a slightly reskinned version of himself and then does a Member Berry by perfectly mimicking his pose and intro animation from a trailer 2 years ago when he was fighting a different person in a completely different context, for seemingly no other reason than to remind the player that they fought Radahn and (hopefully) enjoyed it the first time. It's literally Marvel-tier "please clap" slop and if anyone had made it as fan fiction the entire community would be laughing at them.

The stuff with Messmer, Marika and the (justified) Hornsent genocide is arguably the more complete parts of the world of the DLC.
It's likely that at the very least the idea of an oppressed Marika rising up against her oppressors to become Queen was part of the GRRM written backstory, something like that feels pretty Daenerys at least.
I could see this whole mess starting out as wanting to use Messmer and Marika's backstory in a DLC and not knowing how to bridge the gap, so they chose Miquella to be that bridge and everything fell apart from there.

The only similarity the Eclipse Shotel has is to Death Knights helm. It has nothing to do with the Eclipse. Miquella used Deathblight to call Demigods and then in the DLC Radahn's soul back from the Erdtree, because that's its power. The ritual has nothing to do with Godwyn.
Godwyn was intrumental to Miquella because he can now use it to call Souls

It's way more believable they do some plot excuse for his soul to be back. Even the perma-killing effects don't appear as uber-dead.

The Mausoleums guard the bodies of soulless demigods waiting for revival.
>Lhutel sacrificed her life so that in Death she could continue to protect a soulless demigod until their revival, earning her the hero's honor of Erdtree Burial.
One can argue it's for demigods with souls intact but it proves even the soulless aren't gone for good. And in the DLC Torrent refuses to get out in the Abyssal Woods because he's afraid. It's highly implied strong concentrations of the Frenzied Flame can destroy him for good. He doesn't seem to be scared of any Deathbirds or Destined Death we come across the same way.

He was referring to the wandering mausoleums.
Miquella goes in the Land of Shadow since he can't Eclipse the sun. In the Land of Shadow he uses Deathblight because deathblight can actually canonically remove souls from the Erdtree, as it does with TWLID. The whole game sets up Radahn consort and the process of calling souls back

I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. The DLCs entire focus should have been about Messmer, the Hornsent, the Crucible, and Marika. They should have never included anything Frenzied Flame or Fingers related. Both of those areas are totally unfinished and completely irrelevant, despite having a good boss.

They should have expanded the Hinterland area, and then made the Scooby tree area the actual final area after Enir Elim.

Maybe because Eclipse Knights aren't a thing in this game. No enemy has that name. And Godwyn's body is both guarded by a giant dragon, is invulnerable in game, and Deeproot Depths already has Mausoleum Knights.

Picture this;

You kill Messmer, and then head into the Scoobytree area. Michael is there doing some fucked up shenanigans with Deathblight to resurrect Godwyn. Before they can reach full ascension, you fight and kill them both. You then burn down the tree. There's a big ass cutscene about cleansing deathblight from the world, which extends to the base game areas. Returning to those areas shows all of Godwyns fucked up face gone and missing. The roots of the tree have been cleansed.

Oh, but wait. At the base of the scoobytree, burning it away has revealed an underground passage that leads to a festering forest called the Abyssal Woods. A place full of all different sorts of horrible abominations and ancient adherents to the Frenzied Flame, who have been sitting and waiting for their Lord to ascend. Midra turns out to be the secret final boss.

No, they are called Mausoleum Knights, because Miquella wanted the souls of the Soulless Demigods from the Mausoleums.
How? Using the same process that brings souls back in bodies that Deathroot naturally induces by creating Those Who Live in Death.
Miquella using the Eclipse to "resurrect" Godwyn makes no sense AT ALL since Godwyn soul is dead.
How would DEATHBLIGHT help Godwyn, if Godwyn being the Prince of Death creates Deathblight? That's stupid and retarded.

I started this conversation thinking Radhan made sense, but it 100% should have been Godwyn or the ritual fails at invoking him and Mogh's corpse ends up possed by an divine spirit like the ones in hornsent ritual or the ones who used the meteoric greatsword as an arrow and we help Miquella put it down

Reminder that "destined death obliterates souls" faggots are the actual lorelets. Back when destined death was still a part of the Elden Ring souls still existed, they were just burned in Ghostflame or guided to Helphen. Godwyn's soul isn't obliterated, it's just no longer a part of the Erdtree's cycle. Also

Correct, the base game builds up to the DLC.
Miquella can call Radahn soul from the Erdtree back, because the base game introduces the mechanic that creates undeath (and that wouldn't make sense for a character whose soul is dead)
The base game specifies when and how Miquella obtained this power and how he intended to use it, but failed to by not eclipsing the sun, which is why the DLC is in the Lands of Shadow.
The mechanics around Miquella's ascension make perfect sense with anyone who is dead as his Lord, EXCEPT Godwyn, the only soul he couldn't possibly access.
Meanwhile Godwynfags actually believe Miquella would obscure the sun and Godwyn would pop back to normal for some reason.

Guys, if you go to the damn website,

https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/elden-ring/news/look-the-history-of-elden-rings-lands-between-the-age-of-gods

You can see it says
>One grim night in the depths of winter, a flock of unknown assassins stole across the Lands Between.
>In a coetaneous attack, this foul covenant snuffed out the lives of many of the God-Queen’s kin throughout the empire, too numerous and too scattered for her godly protection to save.

Thus clearly many demigods died during the Night of the Black Knives. Unless we have some headcanon that the knives ran out of juice the second they finished offing Godwyn, others would've suffered the same fate he did.

Also, the Finger Reader Crone in Deeproot Depths says
>Ohh... Oh, Lord Godwyn... Such cruelty, such humiliation... My poor, sweet lordling should have died a true death. As the first of the demigods to die. As a martyr to Destined Death.
>first

Marika, ruthless conqueror who has an entire personality cult about how she's the 1 true god?

????? The Scadu tree is OBVIOUSLY the Crucible anon. The Scadu tree has a helix / spiral shape which is the known symbol of the Crucible

>Beast horn
Horn suffused with spirituality. Material used for crafting items. Found by hunting horned beasts of the realm of shadow. The Crucible has a particularly strong influence on the beasts of the realm of shadow, causing many to grow horns despite the characteristics of their species.
>Spira Incantation
Superior sorcery of the tower priests, wielded as an incantation of the spiral.Wrap one's arms together and hold them up to the heavens to summon a spiral of light that erupts at the enemy's feet.
Column of light persists for as long as the button is pressed. The spiral is a normalized Crucible current that, one day, will form a column that stretches to the gods.
>Hammer helmet
Helm worn by Devonia, longest-serving of the Crucible Knights. Holds the power of the crucible of life, the primordial form of the Erdtree. Strengthens Aspects of the Crucible incantations. It is said Devonia quested in search of the Crucible's origin, and departed from the lands of the Erdtree alone.

There are probally more, but these are just off the top of my head. I guess you can just say that Rune of Death once belonged to the "Erdtree" so you were technically right, but the Scadu tree is much more than that

A popular fan theory is that the Greater Will's Erdtree hijacked the power of another entity called the Primordial Crucible. But the primordial crucible (which is never capitalized in the game's script) is, very explicitly, just another name for the Erdtree, specifically referring its early state prior to Marika beginning her Order. The descriptions of the Crucible Knight armor, Siluria's Tree, the Godskin Set, and the Aspects of the Crucible incantations all make that clear, with the latter's descriptions even saying that they're "ancient Erdtree incantations" and "manifestations of the Erdtree's primal energies" and the Godskin set straight-up calling it "the crucible, the Erdtree in its primordial form."

Crucible energy was about evolution/survival of the fittest with the development of physical characteristics, notably horns, but also tails and wings
When Marika rose to power, the order of the world she installed directly rejected the previous world order, which was crucible-like. The gold order is more spiritual and without a need for constant adaptability or evolution.
The way I see it, Crucible being a primordial Erdtree is basically saying "Ok evolution-time is finished now we are perfect"

From what i understand. Crucible was all about mingling all races / species traits together. It is another point of view for the Greater Will's "All into One" teaching

Marika rejected this because her people were likely abused by the Hornsent by having no horns, you can see the Shaman still wearing tranny horns to this day underground. So Marika just fucking hate their guts, she even went out of her way and imprisoned anyone who is born with horns under her rule
>>

>>
>>489612243
What is the lore behind the Crucible incantations being ass?
>>
>>489612267
I think Godfrey and Marika were hornless Numen. They got their shit pushed in by the Hornsent due to having no horns and then just fucking flipped and staged a coup, gathering all of their hornless friends into an army.

In their war, the Scadu tree was broken and had its power diminished so Marika led all of her hornless people to the Land Between and planted a new symbol of power there, the Erdtree

However with time, all the hornless fags start to randomly give birth to horned niggers because it is engraved in their genes. And this broke Marika

Omens are not Hornsent
Omens have uncontrolled horn growth instead of just the head, more crucible mutations (Morgott tail, Mohg wings), ogre-ish stature instead of human-stature, and nightmares. However, both Hornsent and Omens seem to have afinity to that pale yellow ghost-like magic.

I'm sure Omens are something that came into being only after Marika rose to power, because there isn't anything explicitly Omen-like and not Hornsent-like in the Shadow Lands
The omen curse deal is probably because of curses laid by not only the Hornsent but also Bloodfiends (the stature of Bloodfiends is closer to the ones of Omens, and their affinity with the Mother could explain Mohg's affinity with the mother, although it's more likely to do with him being able to see her only after his eye was pierced by his horn)
However, I can also see it that the crucible energy was supressed when Marika installed her Order, and is kind of bursting at the seams when it can (so instead of a bunch of Hornsent people with some horns, we get a smaller population of heavily crucible-infused energy)
>>

No shit. You can tank so many hits from enemies even at 40 VIG you're immortal, and on top of that healing is almost instant, while your stamina refreshes way too fast, you never need to back off of bosses by going neutral. People bitch endlessly about Elden Ring bosses being overturned and completely ignore how stupid powerful PC's are as well. If anything, I think the PC should be nerfed. The game would be way more balanced if the PC had the same speed as the Dark Soul 1 and 2 PC.

I still believe it is. It's the first game in a decade that I've reached more than 1000 hours in. Unfortunately, nowadays I'm more of a "what could've been" when thinking of Elden Ring, so I can't say it's a masterpiece. The DLC was dogshit, though. You can remove it and it wouldn't impact my rating since it doesn't improve the experience at all like people say it's what previous DLCs did to their games.

From what we can tell, the statue's hair is longer than Radagon's usually depicted and no braids like Marika.

It's hilarious how Godwynschizos still can't explain why none of the Mausoleum Knights are anywhere close to Godwyn, or why would they use Deathblight.

Fun fact: neither Godwyn nor Those who Live in Death are soulless, Rogier specifically calls them souls, and several others.

Other fun fact: Deathblight can't work on Godwyn, since there's no soul to transport back to a body, unlike...say... Radahn

What is the Eclipse about? According to the game it keeps Destined Death at bay, which helps the Soulless Demigods. The Mausoleum Knights are tied to the Deathbirds and perform a ritual that makes so the spirit is tied to their master

Then we have faggots like this >>489602761 piling up the most flimsy evidence and ignoring half the game to back up theories, even though we have an actual painting of Radagon showing he was the dude hugging his children while the statue looks nothing like assassinated Godwyn.
The mindbreak this DLC caused is insane lol

Yes. But Gurm putting incest and gay shit into his stories is a far smaller assumption than the walls of copetext from Godwynfags who are pretending that their headcanon is infallible. Some posters are genuinely just refusing to acknowledge the fact that the ending could just be Miyazaki remaining true to the story he got, despite a couple of interviews hinting in that direction.

I enjoyed the DLC most of the time, but a lot of it feels creatively bankrupt, rehashed. It brings nothing new to the table.

There being multiple layers of death is confusing and unnecessary. If you have a story with immortal super beings that need to be sent to a super death realm just to experience something close to it, that should be where all death converges. Instead you have people dying and getting sent to the shadow realm or otherwise and for some reason these different forms of "death" don't intertwine with each other because "they just don't, lol". Why write it this way unless it's all an afterthought?
>>
>>489620059
Yeah but the thing Martin wrote could just be the shit about Marika and have absolutely nothing to do with Miquella, Godwyn and Radahn.
Marika's backstory is like half the fucking setting of the DLC and with GRRM being a massive anti-war, 70s feminist type I could see easily see it being
>Marika, born within an oppressive and exploitative system rose up, overthrew her oppressors and began to subjugate them herself, thus continuing the cycle of violence.

And how the fuck would you reconcile it with the notion that Godwyn is dead if Those who live in Death aren't? And how would the Duskborn ending work with Godwyn being resurrected by Miquella.
You are a schizo and a retard for even expecting this.
>>
>>489619186
>>489620059
I don't think there's any problem with Miquella and Radahn being gay in GRRM's lore bible. But if they wanted to go this route they should have better built the foundations for it in the base game so it wouldn't end up being an epic plot twist that assassinated characters people had grown to love.

The whole gane sets up the foundation to Caria and the Haligtree and Miquella trying to bring the soul of soulless demigods away from the Erdtree.
Godwyn doesn't fit in any of it beyind creating Deathblight, which is the spread of Death in the Lands Between. With Deathblights, souls can turn into wraiths, and avoid the cycle of resurrection Marika created. That's Godwyn's narrative role in the story of Miquella and Radahn

The DLC should've just been about Messmer and Marika's past with Bayle thrown in as a secret side boss.
There should've been a second DLC about the Frenzied Flame, Midra and then they could've thrown in Miquella and St. Trina there, since they had that idea about Trina using song to ward off the Frenzied Flame in the cut content.

No, because soullessness implies the soul is alive away from the body, like the Mausoleum Demigods.
Godwyn is DEAD, despite his body being an empty husk without control growing in weird shapes tied to marine creatures (because of his connection to the afterlife), which is also why it emits Ghosftflames. It's the definition of death. He's in hell, not Shadow Realm, the actual Helphen hell

Miquella pre god had two arms
He got rid of both
He has a fleshy arm and spectral arms as a god
He abandoned his eyes
He has them as a god

When miquella became a god the parts of himself he discarded were replaced with divine versions. Therefore its likely miquella does feel love as everything else seemed to have returned in some way, it's likely it did too. So miquella's age of compassion would've been genuine and he was objectively the good guy

And that affects rebirth and the Erdtree's pull of souls back, but doesn't change that those who had been already buried had their soul return to them if afflicted by Deathblight.
The point stands that Godwyn isn't soulless, his oul is dead, and Those who Live in Death aren't soulless, because the issue is ecxactly that their dead body has a soul it shouldn't have. Soulless Demigods, Godwyn and Those who Live in Death have completely different conditions, and regardless of the massuve lore difference it's questionable that the Eclipse, a ritual involving Deathblight, would affect or help Godwyn. It's pure schizophrenic bullshit. How would Deathblight help Godwyn if Deathblight is created by the Prince of Death? If Deathbligbt unique power is dragging souls back like an "anti-Erdtree", an extention of the Scadutree as some say, what kind of soul could it possibly pull back for Godwyn?
If the DLC were about Helphen, it could remotely start to make sense, because Godwyn soul has to be there, and the implication is that his spirit resides in his body, but is soul is still irrecoverable at least through the lore introduced in the base game.
IF Godwyn's soul was in the Shadow Realm, Marika could just collect it. No, Godwyn's soul went the same way everything burned by Ghostflame goes

I finally beat her a couple days ago after spending 2 hours on Radahn. I kind of feel guilty because I powerstanced Godslayer Greatsword and Fire Knight's Greatsword and almost immediately beat her, when pre-DLC I had been trying with 2-handed Godslayer to worse results.
I'm not sure if the change in build actually made the difference though, or if the difference was how the DLC taught me to not respect enemies at all because braindead DPS pumping is always superior to letting the boss take turns.

Elden Ring base game actually explains how Miquella can recall Radahn's Soul (he had made many Deathblight artifacts) but Sekiro never hints where the second sword might be, just that it exists somewhere.

Radahn is only the most mighty demigod because nobody even knows Morgott is alive, much less how strong he is. Dude spent his whole life hiding in the shadows like the freaky gremlin he is.
But Marika entrusted him with protecting the tree, the most important duty out of literally anyone in the world. He also is graced with Gold.

Morgott is just sleeper OP honestly. I'm guessing during the Leyndell siege, Morgott jumped Radahn and when Radahn realized who it was that just flattened him he called it off.
I bet if Morgott was known more widely he'd be considered the strongest.

Nigger do you see TWLID who look young and healthy? Why do you think they are all skeletons, lots of people died relatively right before the Shattering and had their resurrection halted and their soul corrupted by Deathblight through the greatroots. That's why they are all skeletons.

Everyone knows Margit is a demigod. Pre-release Twitter states as much. Even if they didn't, Radahn and Malenia are just said to be the mightiest period in the trailer, not just the mightiest demigods.

Godwyn isn't soulless, perishing in soul alone doesn't mean soullessness. Those who are soulless have their soul taken away, stuck in the Erdtree, awaiting for resurrection. The game specifically defines SOULLESS DEMIGODS and Godwyn isn't one of them, bevause his soul is no more. Lhutel's Demigod resurrected. Godwyn will never resurrect. You stupid retard, you cretin
>>
>>489624926
Why then, ingame is morgott considerably weaker than malenia who's meant to be the strongest tied to radahn? Why is margit weaker than the weaker rotted radahn? Why is morgott as a boss weaker than consort radahn phase 1 who's just a younger version of radahn? I get gameplay =/= lore but the game does a good job boss wise with its powerscaling. With malenia, godfrey(with grabs), and maliketh being the strongest bosses in the base game which perfectly matches their lore, meanwhile mohg follows closely after which also makes sense.

Tbh, I have always thought that Marika making those healing potions for Messmer were an early attempt of hers to control the Abyssal Serpent, trying to repel and damage it through application of something so holy
>>
>>489625329
because it's omenigger fan fiction, all that we know is that Radahn failed to breach the capital which was almost certainly because Morgott had a bigger army and a wall rather than because he could bench press more.
>>
>>489624926
>>489625103
I'd also like to add they had meetings as there were chairs so they all met at the same time at some point. Morgott was there and they knew of him, yet the other demigods still considered radahn and malenia the strongest.

I think there's a simpler explanation, radahn is insanely strong but is vegeta. He's a jobber no matter his strength he finds a way to get his ass kicked every single time.

Not an argument, where the fuck did the second sword come from? It's a mcguffin asspul, Sekiro story is retarded. Sekiro wastes half of Ashina after collecting a piece of paper that suddenly makes him willing to act after months of being a prisoner unwatched and without binds. Everything happened under Isshin's nose too, who refuses to stop the bloodshed between Sekiro and Ashina forces because everyone acts as a Dark Souls undead. Nothing of Sekiro makes sense. The story is dogshit

>Lhutel sacrificed her life so that in Death she could continue to protect a soulless demigod until their revival
Sounds pretty clearly like Godwyn
>>
Just so you all know. Morgott wasn't in the sewers until the Shattering. He was out at the time of War with the Giants which is evident by how Godfrey cared about him and the Light Hammer he uses which is in fact a Light version of the Giant Crusher, a hammer used in the War with the Giants. Also he created Sentry's torches to protect his siblings so it had to happen between Godwyn's death and Shattering and he had to be in already high position in Leyndell, possibly already being it's de facto king due to being oldest of Marika's children.

Godwyn isn't soulless.
Godwyn's condition is unique, whike the game calls other Demigods "Soulless". Demigods that can ressurect overtime.
My source is the fucking game, the mausoleum knights and Lhutel Spirit Ash lore.
Godwynschizos don't care about lore though

>What could these demigods hope to win by warring?
>Radahn...Malenia...were the mightiest two to remain
Morgott wasn't warring. Morgott sat in Leyndell and repelled Radahn. Then he continued to sit in Leyndell.
Malenia and Radahn were the two mightiest to remain. Nobody else was involved at that point.

>>489625329
>Why then, ingame is morgott considerably weaker than malenia who's meant to be the strongest tied to radahn?
Malenia is 66% of the way to being consumed by the Rot Goddess by the time we meet here. 100% if you count her Aeonia in fight and her wings as her full transformation.
>Why is margit weaker than the weaker rotted radahn?
Are you really asking why a clone in a completely different region who uses 1/3rd of it's masters moveset weaker than one of the strongest demigods ever?
>>Why is morgott as a boss weaker than consort radahn phase 1 who's just a younger version of radahn?
Debatable. Phase 1 Radahn is easy as fuck.
>>but the game does a good job boss wise with its powerscaling
I get what youre saying, but using this as logic is faulty. A single fire giant with a fucked up foot is certainly not stronger than demigods, or Renalla, etc.

It almost certainly is. Alexander calls it "practically a god" and says no one but you could've beaten it. This is after seeing the rotted Radahn who while far weaker than Malenia or Mohg is still stronger than Morgott.

Morgott's war was over. Radahn marched on Leyndell, and Radahn lost. Full stop. Every single other person involved in the Shattering was already out of the fight by the time Malenia reaches Radahn.

Lorewise, Godfrey/Hoarah is the strongest being in game.
Maliketh had to be beaten and bashed away from Marika for her plans, so naturally that fell to Godfrey.
Elden Beast is a mighty foe while also puppeting Marika-Radagon's corpse, a duo of mighty foes, Godfrey was the only one fit to challenge them before (You) showed up.
But since (You) also took advantage of his M.I.A status to kill a good chunk of his and Marika's beloved lineage, he knows to slaughter you thanks to Grace.
Morgott was Godfrey's trueborn meanwhile Radahn is some jobber, the former also seemed to earnestly love his father and wish his return seeking to become him while his self-hate made him know his place, turning into a hateful yet loyal father-missing 'Godfrey' while the latter is a dumbass who relies on his retard strength and flailing wildly, it's not a shocker than Radahn got his ass handed to him on a golden, lion-engraved, platter with a side of "I'm the trueborn son, not you."

I enjoy elden ring and liked the dlc. It's their third best behind ringed city and old hunters. I've moved on however you're right. And part of the reason I like it is because it makes godwynfags and miquellatroons seethe hard. It's enjoyable watching people mald hell even consort radahn is easy as fuck and seeing people rage at it being unfair is funny too

any of you fellow ringers have a higher refresh rate monitor?

i'm really fucking tired of manually lowering mine to 60hz every time i want to play elden ring, i'm wondering if there's a way to do this automatically. why is this game so terribly optimized?

if i don't lower it to 60hz i get motion sickness after 20 minutes of gameplay

That was their fated deaths being removed. Not that it was impossible to die. Destined Death and Malekith being called the Deaths of Demigods was still enough to keep everyone in line but it's not like they had infinite health.

Black Blade is 46 FTH and uses 2 spell slots, and Destined Death is a stationary attack that never hits anything. Also the % damage effect is shit on most enemies and bosses because they don't have enough max health, might as well do a normal L2 for the same damage.

>>489631362
Black Blade incant hits like a bus but you have to use it in melee range for good damage and it has zero HA. As for the UGS, it's just shit.

Note that she specifies her mother Tanith's work, and not the work of Rykard's volcano manor. This can just as well be interpreted to mean that she wishes to gather righteous champions to walk a more honorable path like the one Tanith spoke of once, as opposed to the purpose of feeding Rykard's insatiability, which troubled her enough to make her want to kill herself.
It doesn't sound to me like she would want to continue the work that made her want to kill herself, so much as the fulfilment of the fantasy that was given to her before she knew the truth. This is what I interpret to mean from when she says she wants to be the proud daughter of volcano manor, that despite her dark origins she is unafraid to go find her purpose in life and to bring some honor to Tanith's and the manor's legacy after Rykard sullied both.
Of course, this is all mere assumptions just as much as anyone else's is.

>cool turbo twink gimmick to be honest
It's fun, but it really relies on people willingly killing themselves by approaching me. It's fun to just facetank everything, though.

It's all suitably vague but I've read posters here claiming she doesn't have an order of her own at all even though she says she does. It's clear she's an Empyrean ascending to godhood, it's just a different kind.

Ending involves you linking the fi- leaving the world and letting everything solve by itself.

The people worshipping a "folk hero" for a video game because he beats bosses for them isn't the pitiful part
The truly pitiful part is after he blew up on leddit he immediately did an "I am Ironman" reveal and then started scheduling Malenia bossfights to the point where he later made a post to complain about how he felt "forced" to do nothing but fight Malenia with all his free time and that it was affecting his life

There are some decently rare weather conditions in the game. Altus in main game can get so foggy you literally can't see leyndell.

I feel bad for the people drawing these
Imagine having optimized your own art so cynically that it's indistinguishable from the "we'll reach as many consumer segments as we can" slop that a team of marketing execs might think is a good piece of media.
>Dude it's the character from Trending Thing 1 and the character from Trending Thing 2... together!
It's not Dead Internet Theory or AI, and it would be better if it were. I can't imagine being a human and learning to draw to such a level and then just churning out whatever will net you the most retweets/shares forever.

Elden Ring is probably one of the better settings when it comes to rape, since you don't have to worry about death through exhaustion or anything like that, and it can last for years and years.

Anon, why lie? She's a pretty enough goth girl. She either, never had an only fans, or, it never failed. In the modern internet climate, you can only pick one.

??? You're only proving yourself even further wrong. IF she has an onlyfans, I would guarantee it was doing well enough.

The only way you could prove me wrong would be if you posted a picture of her cosplaying Fia but wearing nothing but the outer robe and fia's panties.

Anon, I'm not saying she has one, I'm saying she first tried to focus more on cosplays (mainly with her in underwear), and ended up sticking to Elden Ring since it was what gave her the more attention. Unless you genuinely believe someone would post pictures of themselves like that if they weren't going to set up one.

Nice. Also, you clearly misunderstood what I way saying, I agree with what you said, I just find contention with the qualifier "failed". she's still cosplaying, she's just doing it while giving quasi lore asmr now.
