Radahn and Freyja's swords (and those of the dead knights at Aeonia and the Wailing Dunes) are shaped like Omen Cleavers. No other characters in the Lands Between use blades like these. What is the lore.

whale sharks are about as big as whales which is whats important, because you're fatter than either

>>495347182
You're not gonna believe this but
the omencleavers were created due to fundamentalist radicals related to radagon and radahn is radagons son. Freyja is radahns second favorite soldier behind jerren so she has a sword similar to her master.

Can we actually talk about the balls? No I'm serious, deadly serious. That joke isn't even funny but I bet you snorted, don't lie to me! Anyway, can we talk about how they're basically crucible experiments using the soul or mind instead of a body like the jar shaman girls. They even study a primordial current through it, and the crucible is itself a series or source of currents of energy

Or how Sellen's graven school is able to talk, kind of, and still even teach. Maybe Sellen had numen ancestry, or perhaps it's just having a woman in the same mass as all the other dudes. A bit like the demihuman queens commanding her followers, or the shaman girls being the core, etc

It's not a joke. Rennala and Sellen may think they're "in space" too. Especially Sellen, if she really tapped into the primeval current.
>>
>>495347675
Sellen is related to the carian
The architecture of the carian manor of similar to that of that of the eternal cities
Academy scholars are present in one of the only upperground portions of an eternal city
Her name is similar to that selia and sellen
We know from rogier that the black knives are from the eternal cities
We know the black knives are numen pile marika
Thus the eternal cities contain numen/numen descendants

Ergo, sellen has numen blood.

Oh shit I forgot she was from Sellia. You're totally right she must be at least part numen. Instead of horns they're growing glintstones. It's merely a cycle, stand before the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord. History is repeating

Marika and the Shamans vs the Hornsent are the Carian's and the Academy vs the Primeval Sorcerer's and some Astrologers. Holy shit it all fits. Marika took over the hornsent like Rennala took over the academy perhaps? Dazzling them with golden light vs a beguiling full moon
>>
>>495348884
The numen don't grow horns. That's the hornsent it's what's special about them. The numen are the ones that when they die or are maimed they turn into earth materials. See the grandmother tree or marikas living but stone body crucified post shattering.

>>
>>495349190
Ah shit I flibbed. I was thinking about the hornsent using the shamans to concentrate the power in their horns, created by crucible energy, and how these glintstone growths are very similar in nature, just using star amber and light instead of primal life energy

>>495348884
>>495349161
I'd like to add as well
Metyr and Marika are who formed the golden order as a religion as we know thanks to the dlc
Coincidentally there are two places of significance related to fingers and the carians. The temple of the divine hand and the moonlight alter. With the latter containing the afformentined divine hand, ranni's fingers, fingers who look NOTHING like any other fingers and are blue meaning they either didn't come from metyr or she pooped it out for some special reason.
We also know that the fingerslaying blade is a thing and by its description it was used before. Metyr has a large wound on her and smaller throughout her body. It's likely it was used on her.
Ranni later uses it to kill her own fingers.
The same blade that was used to maim the golden order's primary finger guide killed the carians'
Note also where it's locked up and how its made, marika we know has a connection to the eternal cities
We know she has a connection to the assassins beyond being a numen like them
If she has some sort of connection she likely used their services before
We know marika through asking hewg to forge a godslaying weapon and creating the tarnished had turned against her own order, or at least it's more "otherworldly" aspects long before the shattering.
I propose marika had the assassins use the fingerslaying blade to attempt to kill metyr but she, similar to when we beat her, teleported away for safety
This is sometime before ranni used the assassins giving them the black knives.
>>
Marika made a new crucible with the divine gate. It's why it's a bunch of bodies melded together and contained the gold strands

No it's the same one. The crucible is the earthly equivalent to the primeval current coincidentally marika opposed many crucible related things yet utilized them like godfreys knights. And rennala opposed many primeval current related things yet utilized them as we she when she comet azures us

There's too many fucking similarities between marika and rennala but real and theorized. I'm going to fucking say it. I don't care if you think it's headcanon. It's fucking true. They fucked at some point rennala knew about radagon and marika being one, they fucked, somehow someway they conceived one child and that was ranni. This is why she's an empyrean. Her younger siblings the twins were empyrean due to the special circumstances of their birth being born to one God. Being born to two women would also be out of the ordinary and thus a special circumstance. This is why marikas grace can point you along rannis questline but not to kill her like the others. It's because ranni is her daughter not just her step daughter. Ranni might not know it, but marika does. She's only not cursed because marika didn't birth her, rennala did.
>>
>>495350958
This is the symbolism of the cuckoo. A daughter of marika and rennala, the heir over radagon and rennala's kids, was raised as a daughter of radagon's daughter despite her true parentage. This is also why the cuckoos rebel its not full on like the cuckoo bird, but halfway there.

The crucible isn't really a singular cohesive thing. It's an energy field that binds all living beings. It surrounds us, penetrates us, binds us. Fr though it's energy was wielded by the hornsent, its power generated by spirits called to their horns. This energy was refined by the Hornsent closer and closer to gold and then conjoined with the shamans to create a an object that could infuse a massive amount of refined life energy into something, and potentially connect with a divine realm.

The Elden Beast entered this lifestream to order it into the Elden Ring. The strands are the refined primordial life energy, gold, 'life itself' as the Erdtree is sometimes called "As if life itself knew it's end had come"
>>
>>495350958
>She's only not cursed because marika didn't birth her, rennala did.
What if godwyn wasn't cursed because marika mpregged godfrey? We know godfrey is his parent somehow and so is marika. So what if Mpreg happened? It's not out of the ordinary remember originally ryas mom was a guy who birthed her and that ymir wants to get pregnant and become a mom. What if godfrey was the first. What if he was mpregged by marika.

This also answers how ranni and tarnished if there needs to be any for some reason could reproduce, she would only need to use her magic to form a cock, empowered by the elden ring she absorbed, she could almost certainly easily impreg the tarnished in space regardless if they're male or female.

I'd be okay with this. My singular gripe would be that it undermines the thematic weight of Radagon leaving his family for Marika. That's Ranni's entire reason for her Order being out of reach, so what happened to her can never happen again. A father leaving his family for lordship
>>
>>495348823
I never claimed it was canon. I'm okay, I guess. Making more with doordash than any of the jobs I interviewed with, and I've got a plan to take an extended vacation. I'll stay for a week or two at a hotel in a random town, take in the sights, doordash in the afternoons/evenings, and then repeat the process in a different town. If I'm wrong and there's really nobody spreading rumors about me to the authorities, it should be pretty easy to tell (even if I still can't definitively prove it.) If I'm right, we can see how much time, energy, and manpower people are willing to drain on it. I've got nowhere to go, no reason to stay here, and a whole bunch to leave.
>>
>>495351619
The alternative is the golden strands are from all the shamans exclusively and somehow the Hornsent needed their own kind to build the gate of divinity, which I'd also be fine with, but doesn't change much in the end

The would explain the mask if confidence description: "When Radagon married Rennala, he ordered the Carian magic preceptors to don these masks. To make it clear that all of their matters were to be kept strictly private."
>>
>>495351834
That's the thing. He's still technically her father, it's his body, sort of, and he raised her. It's a double whammy for rennala. Imagine your husband left you to go fuck himself. It's not even just her getting cucked it would be like radarika saying "seeya I'd rather go fuck myself alone than be with you here have the dog and this egg seeya" she would be double cucked. Cucked on two fronts and left a single mother to unstable kids.

>>495351683
To add
If you think about it too, technically malenia did something similar to radahn, remember she stabbed him, penetrating him from behind, then she bloomed, we know the bloom we see in the cinematic is what birthed millicent and her siblings. Malenia penetrating radahn helped birth millicent. Everything radahn ends up doing is just a fucked up copy of godfrey, from his lion iconography, his ascension to elden lord, him trying to copy his stomps, even miquella on his back like serosh is. It's all there.

Not gonna lie. I watched the Malenia Consort mod video and now I’m extra depressed at what the dlc could’ve been.

Malenia, Consort of Miquella
>>
>>495352840
yes
>>
My own personal theory is simple
With each bloom malenia got closer and closer to godhood as seen in her boss and thus stronger. Her blooming against radahn signified the battles end and the end of the last major battle during the shattering wars.
Malenia fought radahn to a standstill pre bloom. So they're at least roughly at equal strength
The malenia we fight as a boss is stronger than the malenia that fought radahn
Radahn had his forces reppeled and got his ass handed to him by morgott
Radahns hair looked more like starscourge radahn than the braided young radahn

Meaning that morgott, during the time of the shattering wars, was the strongest demigod but he just wanted to grill all day.

The crucified Mohg down below was a nice touch, and having the consort be more omenlike and using bloodflame was perfect. You could insert literally any consort into the frame of “phase 1: bloodflame/omen, phase 2: crucible/holy” and it would’ve been perfection. But I did think the idea of having Miquella heal his sister and raise her into holiness was more apt than what we got.

>>495352840
>>495353070
Most of the new art of radahn is him being used as miquella's onahole. It's not just that. Normalfags have even started referring to radahn as miquella's wife. Not husband. But wife. Even the people who don't believe he was brainwashed and that he consented view radahn as submissive to miquella.
Radahn will be forever remembered as miquella's cumdump
Malenia will be forever remembered as a loving sister and the female version of the chris redfield meme.

Goldmask, Roderika, Boc, we don't know anything about melina's life pre her being a ghost, Florisax, Moore (I don't count a 50 IQ downie being tricked into fighting someone he barely knows for the will of Satan "his fault"), the only thing Placidusax ever did wrong was not crushing Bayle as a fucking toddler.
The only thing Radahn did wrong was not rebel sooner.
The only thing Mohg did wrong was make himself a good target for the antichrist.

why didn't malenia just use boluses on her rot
scarlet rot shouldn't be a super poison mechanically, it should be like curse in DaS where getting infected with it reduces your max HP and the longer you go infected the more its reduced until you either die or cleanse yourself somehow. Probably fire.
>>
>>495363724
While unstated, we have pretty clear signs that there are just two kinds of Scarlet Rot infection: acute (HP drops very quickly, will eventually go away if you don’t die, the patient functions more or less normally while it's active until they drop dead, can be cured with a bolus or spell) and chronic (slowly rot away over the course of years, excruciating and debilitating pain and reduced level of consciousness and memory, seemingly-incurable). Malenia, Millicent, Radahn, and a bunch of random enemies have the latter, while the former is what can be inflicted in-game with Rot spells and "cured" with the aforementioned methods. The in-game Scarlet Rot status effect rapidly drains health and can kill anything (the damage is percentage-based) without the intervention of magic, but it only retains that form for some one to several minutes, after which it will cease to have an effect (you could simply survive it by out-healing the damage with spells or flasks, for example). Meanwhile multiple in-universe characters are dealing with long-term infections that don't kill anywhere near as rapidly but are much more difficult to remove. Backing this is the fact that you can inflict the acute version on characters who are already dying of the chronic version, and the result is a very clear visual difference on their models, usually followed by them dying in seconds. e.g. you can inflict the acute version on Radahn, who's explicitly already sick, and suddenly he's covered in a red mist and rapidly loses 1/3 of his health in 90 seconds.

Just because you need it for "platforming" which is just usimg it cross gaps/ledges, it dpesn't mean that its applocation is interesting, especially because Sekiro level design is awful.
Just because you get the prompt to close the gap on veey few enemies by using the grapple, it doesn't mean that it's any interesting combat applications.

Boc is just male rya. And boc fans are just as stupid
Boc went to his people to fit in. He wanted to be like the other demihumans
Low iq, violent, xenophobic, thieves, rapists, etc.
He ONLY didn't because they beat the shit out of him
Bocc is the elden ring version of the "based Blackman"
Yes bocc is nowhere near as bad as his subhuman kin ONLY because they rejected/victimized them.
Want a redpill you're not ready to accept?
These "some of the good ones types" in many groups aren't actually all that uncommon, there are many chimplike blacks that are of moderate intelligence compared to whites and know right from wrong, they just want to conform with their larger group so they dumb themselves down and act like retards just like the rest.
Boc fully intended to do just that
The only difference is the "good ones" were seen as more "off" they didn't put on the monkey suit fast enough and were targeted so they seek solace in other groups.
This is exactly what boc does but with you.
I say this as a former wigger, someone who grew up around, befriended, dated, and had a kid with blacks.
Boc is just a nigger like the rest
And yes his wanting to be "beautiful" matches perfectly with those types wanting to be white. They hate their own more than most racists and want to be anyone but these "based" types can only be calmed in that regard by a white man who they orbit telling them they view them as a normal person not a nigger and they calm a bit exactly like boc.

Yes! Finally a good topic!

The way I understand it, the primeval current is essentially the discovery of the universe's conception, the big bang, and the fact that all being are stardust.
If we look at Lusat, Azur and Alberich, they have all begun growing crystals on them after making contact with the primeval current, which I interpret as a metaphor for how a man of the Enlightenment might have felt, had modern science been available to them as a revelation back then.

The concept behind graven schools is that since all beings are stardust, there is no need for glintstone, because you are glintstone. Combining the bodies of various sorcerers and dabbling into the primeval current allows for a direct connection to the universe and higher knowledge.

Briars of sin and briars of punishment form thorns from *your* blood, because all matter is related to glintstone and therefore has hidden magical properties.

no, but I wish there was a mod where you can swear your allegiance to your favorite boss and don't kill him/her, and instead serve him/her and do quests and errands for him/her and punish those who besmirch his/her name

The ape destroys all the trees you can grapple eventually
That anon is right. Sekiro completely fumbles the potential of its own systems. Starting with dogshit balance of prosthetics and combat arts and ending with the fact it didn't even manage to utilize a grapple hook in any interesting way. Compare it with wirebugs in Rise that actually allow you to reposition or even hold in one place above ground at any moment to avoid attacks.
>>
>>495394113
That's such a good point. Technically you're serving Mohg as a Bloody Finger, but there's no quest progression...

Malenia in particular could just be romanced if you told her of Miquella. Rogier could be romanced if you gave him the needle (Millicent doesn't want it).

Or maybe you could convince Millicent to keep the needle and live together.
>>
>>495394654
Reminder that there's a cut ending for the dlc where you side with miquella and her Chris redfield's you into marrying his sister and you serve as his blades with radahn as his elden lord.
There's a cute base game quest where you can side with and marry miquella


We had the option of marrying either of them at two different times it was cut. I gurantee its because no one and i mean no one would ever choose the cheating blonde statue or haunted murder doll over prime miquella ass or malenias scarlet pussy

Messmer has the problem of being too dutiful to a system tgat doesn't care about him that probablyhurts relationships, but do you think he'd be a good dad to your kids?

>>
>>495409834
I never got the impression Mesmer was zealous in his work, after all he sits in his chamber mulling and most of his personal gard isn't in deployement but instead manages his own research.
He won't abandon the children or let them starve, but he won't overstress over how to optimize things for them if he doesn't want to

Think of it this way. People spend more time indoors and playing video games or watching netflix more now than ever. Their libido hasn't changed, but the frequency of face to face contact has. You feel aroused by the people that you interact with directly. It's a false sense of contact, but the emotional stimulation is real. Therefore, if you work from home or in a field with few of the opposite gender, you'll probably not even feel horny for anyone that's not fictional.

Sad! But he's happier now with you than he would've been woth her

>>495419938
The details we get from npcs are simple, but the item descriptions add a lot of complications. Look at the lore of ER with the different races, factions and schools of magic/incantations. If elden ring had tapes with characters talking about the different demigods, npcs, and events, not to mention true identities of different characters, I don't think it would be all that different from the kinds of strange, interconnected narratives we get in MGS or Death Stranding.
>>

I did like 40 pulls of Messmer with AMOG and got to his 2nd phase only like 2 times whereas the chicken wing got me there consistently and I beat him in like 30 minutes.

>>495423393
Braiding is really easy, you can probably just practice it on your bangs if they're long enough sobyou can see what you're doing.
Just seperate your hair into 3 locks,aiming downward kind of like the three fingers, then pick one of the outer ones, can be left or right doesn't matter, and kind of fold it/move it under into the center of the other two (it can be over but it's easier move it under/closer to your forehead when practicing)
That'll make two of them kind of twisted together like the scadutree, take the other one that isn't twisted into it, and fold that into the center of the twisted ones. Like you did with the firs one.
Keep doing that pattern, folding over the outer one into the center and after just a few times it ahould be a braid and you can keep going.
Keep in mind, don't do it too tight woth the smaller bits of hair I told you to do it with, the smaller the braid the more annoying it is to undo, and since you're practicing you'll want to undo it probably a lot

Sellen does have numen blood but is anti Carian due to an ancient disagreement between Nokstella and Nokron. The whole idea of the Nox was that they were edgy athiest Numen that used facts and logic over religion but Nokstella essentially muddled the whole thing by worshipping the black moon like a god and were cut off from the main branch in Nokron. This rift between the two branches continued with the Carians and Sellians with the Carians continuing to worship the Moon and Sellians favoring the raw Primeval Current.

The staff of the guilty has a small animal that has been impaled and burnt onto it. I believe this to be an infant that has been sacrificed by the staff's owner for power. The knowledge that all beings are stardust is also the moral event horizon, where morality loses its meaning.

From what we know, Alberich was aloof and disturbed (autistic) and was bullied by his peers, returning only to kill any future members of the Roundtable Hold like an edgy school shooter. Therefore he was a braincel and likely had no human connections.

Alberich is wearing red glintstone, formed from the blood sacrifices. This could be coagulated blood. Thus, it makes sense that his set offers a buff to thorn sorceries, being that the thorns are formed from blood, but the altered top and trousers lack them and offer no buff.

The description in Japanese is: "冷気を防ぐ、毛皮のマントを纏ってる ラニの剣でありながら、ブライヴは寒さに弱かった…", which can be translated (using DeepL) as: "A cloak of fur to keep out the cold. Despite being Lani's sword, Brive was vulnerable to the cold...". So I really think the US localization team just took the lore that Blaidd doesn't like cold and really added a Frozen reference. Otherwise they would just translate that Blaidd is weak to cold or something more descriptive.

"It should not be forgotten that glintstone sorcery is the study of the stars and the life therein."

Comet Azur depicts the very beginning of the universe and the immense energy that allowed matter to exist and gradually expand. The projectile itself depicts the movement of energy across time and space.

By contrast, Stars of Ruin depicts the death of a star cluster. Although stars die differently depending on size, the largest stars create a massive shockwave (supernova), spreading matter throughout space, and this is exactly what we see as the sorcery's projectiles.


Furthermore, the Founding Rain of Stars is the oldest sorcery, capturing a meteor shower, and so, the moment that man made contact with the stars themselves.

casting is hardmode you don't nuke bosses in 5 seconds like strength builds.
But int builds are the only builds viable at level 25 and level 50 unless you want to go pure vig.
you can get 35 or more intelligence for the meteor staff at level 25 if you forget about vig. And 60 or more int at level 50 you forget about vig. Endgame level damage because the meteor staff requires no upgrades.

If you want to oneshot people you will go with INT at low level.

I wish they'd made unupgradable weapons for other builds too.

I'm not sure. Glintstone seems to be a material. Azur and Lusat started growing it on their own bodies, until it replaced their skulls, and they're not aliens. It seems to me more like a metaphor that once you see the nature of the universe, that all beings are connected and all stardust, you can't unsee it.

>Azur and Lusat started growing it on their own bodies, until it replaced their skulls, and they're not aliens
Because dumbass sorcerers wear glintstone on their heads and even embed glintstone into their hearts, and it's an assimilative material that even corrupts dragons that eat too many sorcerers.
Smarag was the first hint that glintstone is an organic material that spreads to and takes over living beings in contact with it.

The Gloam-Eyed Queen is literally older than Marika. Melina can't have been around before her own mother had children.

Melina is also not an empyrean... or married to anyone. 'Queen' implies marriage of some kind. It also doesn't look like Maliketh mauled her, which would have to be apparent.

>Melina is also not an empyrean
According to who? It's not stated that she isn't. Other parts of the lore imply children born to Marika all have the capacity to be empyrean (see Malenia's remembrance)

It's th remnant of life within the stars. Th asters are referred to as living stars. Glinstone magic is basically Communion with the stars. The farther you go the more you assimilated into your being like Formless Mother communion(mohg cult creature in the book swamp), dragon communion, frenzy.

If Godfrey's son (Morgott), with his might contained, broke him, imagine what Godfrey would do to Radahn after learning what he did with Mohg. Imagine what Hoarah Loux would do.
In his desperation to be successful, he jobbed the most out of all the demigods to exist.

because warfare isn't just about strength, Assuming this was during the invasion of Leydell, Morgott had the home advantage of being the king of the capital, and one 1v1 this guy just summons shit out of his hands. Radahn can smash the ground as much he likes but if Morgott keeps trakata'ing all over the place there's not much he can do. That's pretty much the entire idea behind Judo, an old weak sage using the opponents strength against him

Modern definitions skate past saying a Queen must have a King, but the original definition makes it quite clear

>According to who? It's not stated that she isn't.
Well it needs to be stated that she is somewhere. The game lists every empyrean by name including her. It's something Melina would mention if she was. I do think Melina is connected to her, possibly even genetically, but I don't think they are the same person. They have different lives.

>I am genuinely curious to see the evidence for this
Marika needed to take the Rune of Death from her in order to seal it away and start the Golden Order. This rune was something she had before Marika became a God. Not that significant, but why would her own child have this fucking world-bending Order rune before she even takes the Elden Ring? This is not a Great Rune. It is literally part of the fabric of reality. Does Messmer have the rune of Life? No he has a damn snake. None of her children were given a rune that strong. They didn't have much really, until they seized the shards of the Ring.

Is it possible the Gloam-Eyed Queen was just a rebellious fucker who stole it in the first place? Sure. We don't know. Right now, it's more likely it was given to her first when she became an empyrean, which likely would have been before Marika was.

I wrote up a long ass post just now but 4chin says it’s too long. Basically, I just finished my first run of the game and I feel like shit. I feel crushed and disappointed. I felt like a shitter because my build and skills suddenly became inadequate around Farum Azula, and I hated how the game fucked me over and made me pick the chaos ending. So what are you supposed to do, not talk to the three fingers at all? From made sure to hammer it into your head that frenzyflame was a radical way to free those oppressed under the golden order, so I figured they’d have something worth saying but nope! Fuck you for even talking to them, you’re locked into chaos ending.

I just feel so devastated. This game started out so strong and if it had ended with Morgott as the alpha and omega I would have loved it. But now it felt like it stretched on too long and all I wanted it to do was be over. I know that I’m probably a shitter for thinking Godfrey and Malekith and Radagon and Godskin duo is hard, but I don’t care anymore.

So you followed the Three Fingers' quest, saw multiple cases of people completely devastated and debilitated by Frenzy, fed smoldering eyeballs to a blind girl, descended into a mass grave, got Melina to beg you repeatedly to stop, got even more warnings at the enormous door, and

you thought this was the path to a good ending?

>words do not have singular set definitions and you are a fucking retard if you think otherwise

>>
>>495491562
I’ve heard of Malenia vaguely from all the complaining around the game’s release, I just figured she was in a secret area and if I was struggling with regular bosses I probably couldn’t handle her.

Also I thought Godfrey and Radagon were hard but I think if I had a better build I would have liked them more. Godfrey’s second phase never made me feel like I had proper space to heal or counter attack and if I could break his poise it might be better.

>>495491739
The game literally tells you not to believe anything the golden order says because they’re shit, and Marika threw Morgott into the fucking sewer and he turned out okay. I thought the frenzyflame was a metaphor for mental illness and oppression so I figured I’d hear them out. Clearly I was thinking too hard about it.

Miquella had brainwashed mohg before or shortly after his kidnapping. Mohg shared a bedchamber with miquella implying sex its the reason the mohg pedo memes started. Miquella controlling him during this meant miquella either plapped mohg(more likely with what we're given ingame and in the files) or he had mohgs massive cock in him. In the dlc miquella proceeds to rip off his limbs and eyes which would be painful but he still goes through with it.

The entire point of the game is that appearances aren’t everything. The put-together knight is actually an asshole who oppressed the weak. The Queen Marika is beautiful and also a fucking genocider.

gloam is almost certainly just an older english spelling of what we use today as the word "gloom"
the glowing purple sky you get right after the sun disappears beneath the horizon
a blueish purple is the first thing I'd think of if I were to choose a color for the word "gloom"

here are some faggot redditors talking about the Japanese translations

>constructed with kanjis which mean "night" and "eyeball"
>No, this first kanji means more like "twilight - early night hours". Here're the dictionary entries. https://jisho.org/search/%E5%AE%B5#advanced
so even Michael Zachary himself seems to have chosen "gloam" to mean a color corresponding to night / twilight / post-sunset

yeah fuck you for that Miyazaki
ER has some of the worst combat of any souls game because you're fighting Sekiro and Bloodborne bosses using a barely upgraded DS3 toolkit
Malenia makes more sense if you have the deflect mechanic
bosses with attacks that can't be punished safely make more sense if you have a mechanic to get health back from attacking
ER has neither, and there is no visual indicator to let the player know which attacks are parryable and which aren't
no wonder so many people resort to just spamming magic at a distance
can hardly blame them

you can instantly parry the followup attack once you land

>>495497578
>100% phys shield turtle
In this game, you can have your cake and eat it too. Put Carian Retaliation on any medium shield. Although the animation looks similar, parry frame parameters of the base shield are ignored, and you use the Ash of War's own parry frames. Carian Retaliation's parry frames only start like a frame later than Buckler's and last as long. Basically you can have a Buckler-tier parry on the Brass Shield if you want.

Gonna have to side with this guy. It makes more sense for the godskins to have her eyes, considering they are her children, and it's far more unlikely to ask someone to picture a twilight and it's purple.
The Beast Eye is purple and detects deathroot. It's probably Maliketh's own eye, considering it's called the "beast" eye. Melina could even be hiding the same abilities in her purple eye, but that still doesn't make her the GEQ.

It's speculated she has carian blood due to sharing their features, preferring body hopping to bodies with similar features, using a carian staff as her weapon, jerren calling her a traitor meaning she at minimum served them, and is the only one besides rennala who has anything carian related to her in her painting in the academy.

We see that the abyssal serpent is within messmer
It's implied based on descriptions the snake in someway predates him
The snake devours his flames
There's a god devouring serpent skin in the land of shadows
The godskin have serpentine features.
A godskin can be found next to temple dedicated to the current god devouring serpent
The name of the current one is similar to that of a bridge in the dlc
Similarities in names often denotes kinship between characters in this game
We see through the intro that the current god devouring serpent was smaller at one point so its relatively young
We know from rykard you can't truly kill a serpent
The gloam eyed queen being labeled queen and having kids likely had a consort
And based on the kids having snake features the consort would have to be snakelike

I propose the previous god devouring serpent, upon its defeat, wasn't able to be properly killed, so instead it was sealed within marika's newborn growing in and with messmer becoming the abyssal serpent.

I believe something similar happened to the gloam eyed queen, but she was sealed within messmers sister, melina.

I think we need another dlc to explain Melina and the GEQ. Extra bosses will be Godwin in his pre death from and Marika at full strength.

Not just that actually, harnessing certain energies can also alter your apperance. The glintstone sorcerers begin growing gems, stonediggers are becoming stone, radahn became almost as dark as the onyx lords due to spamming gravity, and as related to this topic, upon harnessesing the power of destined death in the frenzied flame ending melina's hair becomes an idental grayish to the blackflame monks.

It's the preamble to the Frenzy quest. Irina's corpse becoming Hyetta, her father going mad and killing misbegotten in Liurnia, etc.

>radahn became almost as dark as the onyx lords due to spamming gravity
I had always assumed he turned that color because of rot, but I like that idea.
>melina's hair becomes an idental grayish to the blackflame monks
Also an interesting detail.

>>495509083

yes

Kill Misbegotten, behead Misbegotten, roundhouse kick a Misbegotten into Mourne's walls, etc.

If the golden eyes means grace of gold influence then the godskins indeed served the greater will or "greater will" as they have golden eyes similar to the demigods. It's a gold iris with golden grace only seen in those related to the demigods.

Based on them also being followers of metyr in some way using her face as one of their symbols. The "gloam eyed queen" name implies a different eye color, which would only truly matter if her eyes stood out, if even her kids eyes were gold but hers weren't thered be a good reason for that distinction. Though I do doubt the "gloam" mentioned is the indigo of melina's eye.

I saw a schizo theory that Marika was the Gloam-Eyed Queen. I have no idea how that would work considering Maliketh, but I want to believe.

We see even before malenia rotted him radahn had really dark skin.
In the volcano manor painting of a younger radahn he has olive skin
Consort radahn who's a pre "starscourge" radahn has a similar mediterranean swarthyness. Sometime after that painting was made but before his fight with malenia radahn nigged out

In cut content Daedicar was a man and Rykard's side piece, however this had to be changed so that Daedicar would be able to give birth. It's possible that the snake men we see around Volcano Manor, including Rya, are their children. Rya was born of a noble king, but Tanith is not her mother.

I had assumed his infection was a progressive thing during the fight, and by the point the Aeonia bloomed he was well and truly sick. Hard to tell what his skin tone is in the previous scene before he picks up his swords. Althoughbeitfully I would accept either explananation.

Okay schizo headcanon that likely isn't true.
I believe the numen are related to the onyx lords

If you look at the onyx lords, the zamor warriors, the nox, and the black knives, they have near identical proportions, very similar fighting styles, and for the onyx lords, nox, and zamor, similar skin colors.

How does this relate to the numen? Well we know the black knives are numen and that they're from the eternal cities, so unless there's another group there living with the nox, then they're nox too making the nox numen.

Those in zamor are known for using frost magic, a type of magic that's ancient and about as old as primeval sorceries and the moon magic the carians use, utilized by the same astrologians who's descendants would be the carians.
The zamorites can be found in the same general area the carians originate from, and uses an ancient magic associated with their ancestors. Their architecture isn't all too dissimilar from what can be found in the eternal cities or academy either.

I propose they all share common ancestry

A race similar to the onyx lords decided to head earth, those that did became the numen, the numen then branched out, some bring driven underground becoming the nox, others finding their way to the mountaintops becoming zamor, and others living with nature becoming shamans.

The numen tribes still had contact with eachother despite their different environments, this contact would inspire some to migrate to different areas, namely, more to the eternal cities, with some shaman heading there, their descendants later used by marika and ranni as assassins, and some zamor moving there, later leaving and becoming the carian family

Eventually many of their cousins who stayed in space began landing as well, known as onyx lords, these onyx lords hostile to most, decided to integrate themselves with their star worshipping cousins, the carians.

They're ALL aliens. Every last one. Marika, all of her kids, rennala, all of them. Aliens.

Elden ring is a chud game
The characters we know that likely racemixed, godwyn and vyke both with dragons meet terrible ends
The final dlc boss is a newly married gay couple
We kill radagon at the end of the game, untrooning marika
The most explicitly bad factions the hornsent and frenzy flame are jewish with the hornsent outright calling themselves the chosen people and the frenzy flame being embodied by someone with the name of a jewish demon
The faction that worships the flame are gypsies, a group also known as merchants, the game implies they steal what they sell, and Kale being a name for multiple gypsy groups
The fell god an explicitly evil god acknowledged by the hornsent though not worshipped by them is said to have made a deal with the giants
The game implies this deal was to their detriment
Meaning the redheaded northern giants were tricked by a large nose(based on its apperance in relics and on their stomachs), demon.

The end of the game is either marrying a blonde(aryan) genocidal woman or the ghost of a redhead(aryan adjacent with most redhead genes in the british isles coming from the norse) and imposing your will upon the world.

I wish there was a reverse mode to the game where you start in the DLC, beat radahn to get to the erdtree and fight all the way to soldier of godrick as the final boss, with scalings inverted to match so you can pick up new weapons at the start. It feels dirty using cheat engine to add weapons.

'Flame, cleanse me' burns the user. Radahn probably burned most of his skin stopping rot build-up at this stage.
