Special thanks to @mispap1 for the visuals, and @quelaag for the research assistance.
BONUS LORE: I call Elemer "spartan" because he hails from Eochaid, which is a land of "proudly solitary ascetics". Here, warriors can move their copper swords through sheer will, alone.
thank you Lore man, very cool!
The green lanterns of elden ring, sheer will allowing them to do crazy stuff
Cool, also I have always struggled fighting this guy.
he certainly fights like a Spartan
Flying swords sounds more like Chinese wuxia than Spartan given the flying sword, but this is still really cool!
It’s crazy how this guy is the protagonist of his own story until we come along and roll the credits on it
How did you become Elden Lord?
"I literally killed everyone"
Fitting end for a story
@@SPACECOWBOY705
Except the -Turtle- Dog Pope
... right?
@@davidhong1934i mean you have to do what you gotta do to become elden lord
We do this quite often, almost every souls game actually
When I faced him off at the church I thought he killed the turtle. There was no mercy
Same, i was determined to not let him live after what he did. 😪😪😪☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 fortunately it was still alive
You mean dog?
@@truckkun4827 Ah, yes my mistake
Bro same! I went to learn some incants and he was there instead.. I was like oh nah I'm fucking this guy up.
...but in my case he just absolutely wrecked me. Then I respawned and turtle boi was back
Go show him no mercy in Caelid.
I dare you.
One of the few enemies who can give Crucible Knights poise a run for their money
actually i’m pretty sure their poise is better than the crucible knights because the crucible knights pretty much get their poise destroyed in one party while it takes 2 for the elemer
@@ashiscjohnson9745 That has nothing to do with how much poise they have. You need to parry Malenia 3 times to stagger her yet she has less poise than a crucible knight.
They might be even more difficult than crucible. Crucible knights are easy if you cou parry.
@@martk647
Yeah this dude is a roll catch monster at that
@@OneMomentPls For sure, he was more of a skill check for me and taught me not to panic roll
I love how a lot of things in the Lands Between ruled over something or were very important until ‘we came along’
Cellmate: So Elemer how you feeling about being put to death tomorrow?
Elemer: … tbh not feeling it
😆
Elemer had enough
🤣
Elemer: Oh yeah, there's gonna be an execution alright.... but not mine😈
"Ain't feeling it G, I got sh*t to do"
- Elemer, probably.
"Is that blade made of copper by chance?"
"Yeah, why."
"Oh nothing."
*yoink*
*Elmer:* This sword is covered in blood. Any of it yours?
*Executioner:* ...what kind of question is that?
*Elmer:* Oh, that wasn't a question
Elemer be like
I ll take that sword
Do you know what the second sword is?
It’s like the something of eocha
I love the implication that the only reason he's alive is that they chose to execute him with a weapon made from the ONE material that he can telekinetically manipulate.
It's like someone deciding to execute Magneto by _firing squad,_ but somehow even more ironic.
I always called him Darth Vader. Telekinesis, red glowing sword, slow menacing walk, tall and poisy, he just gives off the classic Sith Lord energy.
Snatched the executioner's own sword? Badass.
"you're gonna execute me? heh"
*force grabs your blade*
"nothin personnel...kid..."
Ganondorf's good friend lol.
@@Gell-lo I was about to reply about twilight princess ganon 😭
@@bobobsen Not meaning to be an ass; but, personal**
@@NukelearFallout personative
First encounter I had with this guy was at the turtle pope’s location. I thought Elemer actually killed Miriel, so I was fighting with reckless abandon and rage. Happily, that was not the case but the sense of anger I felt will always stay with me.
first time i found him was at Bernahl’s, as I didn’t realize he showed up at night. He destroyed me, and I left confused and not knowing how to fight him again.
Now knowing he and other bosses appear at night, I’ve beaten him at Bernahl’s and Miriel’s, but especially Miriel, that poor turtle deserves better then to have this maniac wandering in his church
the guy fr one of the most dripped out bosses in any souls game
Fr I love his armor
Artorias has the best drip hands down
He gives me slave knight gael vibes
@@ithelegend67 same
Reminds me of the player character from blasphemous
You present Elden ring lore in such an entertaining, thematic, and comprehensive way. You’re the reason I’ve continued playing this game. Keep up these shorts they’re quality and all your work is fantastic. Best of luck to you!
Honestly the tarnished of no renown is terrifying for the sole fact that all these grand beings with equally grand history and skill are all of a sudden just…killed by a nobody. They just walk in one day, dodge all your attacks and kill you. Or you kill them and then they just pop back up a dozen times before killing you.
That's basically how these souls games usually go.
The protagonist is mainly just some quiet seamless insignificant looking person that ends up being the most powerful being in the world.
That’s the beauty of growing more powerful somebody out there just being born or alive can just end you like that 😭 even our character is going to met the same fate eventually
It also must be noted that you came to this land SPECIFICALLY to become Elden Lord. You are a prospective conqueror, and there's a very good reason why most people try to kill you and your kind on sight.
I think being a soulborne boss is the worst thing
You were a great warrior with historically great skills and the one day someone you never heard about pop in and fight with you
You kill him and after a while he is there a second time
You kill him
And he come over over and over a little stronger each time and while you fight its like you are fighting the reaper, being able to slow your end but knowing that at a moment he will suceed becaude you can't escape someone Who never die
@@keseanlee8219yeah like in ds3 when ou last boss(easy af but yeah) is the ds2 peotagonist
Bro the way you format these shorts is so good. With the sound effects over his weapon, the staged scenes in the background, the fitting music too and then all the while you talk in depth and detail about awesome lore. Keep up the good work. Excited to see what’s next😊
Bro using the force to change the color of my Hp bar from Red to grey
Fr. When bro spawned at a site of grace I got stun locked, then two shot
Lmfao you’re not wrong tho
I went to the church of vows to give the turtle a prayer book and then got jumped by this bastard😂
bruh, parrying is hard initially but these guys are puppies to parries 🤣, only caelid one got me with his grabs
bro ong same
@@volktol4432
“That is… until you come along.” Damn right! Snatch his sword away just like he did.
Because bell-bearings are translated to bells in Korean while bells in Korean also represent *balls* , it felt weird to die to ”Ball hunters” as it felt like he stole your *balls*
I kept reading it as ball bearings, like the ones you find in pens
@@VaatiVidya or under….. pen(i)s
The ball bearing hunter
@@raccoonofmotivation20 He's coming for your *balls* Jerry!
bell bearings are just ball bearings, a metal spherical object...so yeah theyre the same thing
He’s definitely one of the top 10 most badass characters in Elden Ring
He seems to represent all the players that decided to hunt merchants for easier access to their shops.
I'm sure all the players killing merchants represent Briar boy here instead.
I'd join his faction in a heartbeat if he was an optional Lord like Ranni or Frenzied fuck.
@@devilboyraden frenzied fuck made me laugh and idk why lol
Walmart opened up at the roundtable.
@@donnyboi1990underrated
I set those merchants to rest
Imagine getting sentenced to death but not only getting a self-imposed pardon, you also win yourself a free sword.
Did an Arcane/strength playthrough just to wield the Marais Executioner's Sword. I find it interesting that Elemer is able to control the blade telekinetically despite it not being made of the curious copper colored metal of his homeland.
@@alpinethered5491 I considered that but they're not explicitly stated to be the metal of Eochaid and besides thorns are a sign of guilt within the Lands Between, we know not if it was a custom shared by the realm of Eochaid.
@@alpinethered5491 I doubt it as again, Elemer is in the Lands Between as a criminal, where he is wrapped in iron briars marking him as such.
The sword knew better than to disobey
Alternatively, because the sword scales with arcane, it's a form of blood magic, and the executioner's sword was already drenched in blood
@@davidhong1934 Another theory that is baseless imo, it is the metal itself which allows telekinetic control via arcane power. Blood magic may also require arcane power, but I doubt it has anything to do with the copper-colored metal of Eochaid.
Are we jus not gonna mention he can control copper an in reality blood is full of........he controls the sword cuz its covered in blood
Cinematic masterpiece. Honestly your Shorts are on par with your regular videos. Goddamn
and beyond par with many other channels
...what are you smoking
@@joshj1953 🤡
@@joshj1953 what are you not smoking?
It’s a normal video, grow up
Maleigh Marai: “Who are you?”
Elemer: “A Sith Lord.”
these shorts are the perfect micro dose of lore and the production is so good!
it's better than most channels main full length videos
Bruh the presentation of this is incredible!!
That's actually really interesting and gives me a whole new perspective on The Shaded Castle. Thanks for these short, Vaati, it's nice getting caught up on small bits of lore that wouldn't really fit in longer videos.
Don't forget that castle is infatuated with melania the greatest swordsmen of them all and has some actual rot knights there
Shaded castle is one of my favorite areas. So fun.
He snatched his executioner's blade? That's badass af
A very similar thing happened to Ganondorf in Zelda: Twilight Princess. He was set to be executed, but instead took the sword and killed his executioner before being banished.
He has some mild Ganondorf vibes
Aha I just commented the same thing, hello fellow Zelda fan 👋👋
@@spooky6735 Glad I'm not the only one! Can't wait to see more about our favorite beef jerky baddie.
"But as if the very world was mocking us, he was the wilder of the Triforce of Power."
It was actually after they ran the blade through him, he couldn't be killed because he already had one of the Triforce. Ganon was such a badass in TP, I need to replay it.
Zelda is shallow and irrelevant garbage when compared to souls games
Incredible Vibe
Amazing Artstyle
Cool details
Concept had Fun with that
Merchant killers really saw this boss and said yeah I want to be just like him
This video was beautifully put together
Now it makes sense why it looks like the ds3 Executioner's greatsword
It's quite literally just an executioner's sword, they were historically all shaped like that, except they were smaller IRL.
What doesnt make sense is that the sword has thorns and looks magical with some lights, did he really didnt take any other weapon and even decorated it with thorns? Why?
@@abrahamrangel2326the same could be asked of his armour. Why not remove the thorns or get new pieces?
Perhaps he felt some kind of connection to the blade when he seized it with his will. Maybe he just keeps it to symbolically embrace his identity as a guilty who defied the justice of the order, turning the blade against them
Anyone who sees his armour or weapons knows exactly who he is and will be struck with fear because of the legend surrounding him.
One of my favorite boss and mini boss of this game, it’s armor, lore, armament are all so intriguing to me and was excited to use the executioner blade for myself, thinking I’d be able to wield it just like him but was dissapointed on how little versatility it gave, hopefully there’s an overhaul mod for the weapon soon
Probably one of my favorite pieces of Elden Ring lore, Elemer is just such a badass
Probably my favorite recurring boss character in Elden Ring. Love the lore, the weapons, the armor, everything.
Kills merchant to rob them
Still needs to pay for their goods
Goddamnit
They're like the EA of merchants. Nothing can stop the paywall
ITS called karma. Why U kill them
@@MrMirco003 If they can die, they will. Remember, no Russian.
@@MrMirco003if it breath then it can bleed
From the deep depths of the Finish forests ,Vaaty is sharing the lore of the ER with an amasing and worm voice but last and not least his knowledge in the lore is beyond expectations ,congratulations for what you are doing
I always had a feeling that the way the Eochaid blade is described, the way it looks, and the ways Elemer is tied in was a reference to the Greeks and more specifically, Sparta.
I think it's a reference to High King Eochaid of Ireland, founder of the O Neil Dynasty and father of Niall of the Nine Hostages
@@troycoverskpopYeah that Eochaid name sounded Gaelic to me, and Elemer is like “Elmer” which is a pretty Anglo name
@@AngelicBeatdown Elemer is a hungarian name tho
High key listen to these videos with high quality headphones the music plus dialogue goes crazy
Bro used the force on the weapon that was about to kill him and just started killing everyone. Dudes a beast.
Spartan Warrior Sword Skills that allow the user to make the blade fly through the sky…
Thats Elden Fing for ya
Excellent narrative and visuals. Eochaid so unique, and is one of the most interesting unseen lands to me. Would love to learn more about it.
man I love how cinematic and professional this short was. Finally someone who doesn't think that in order to make a popular short you should make some crappy viral content. Thank you!
The Bell Bearing hunters were always badass to me, especially since they bear close resemblance to the Penitent One, pair it with the Blasphemous blade that looks like the Mea Culpa and it’s a good cosplay
First time watching something from you, and i'll be honest:
The ending of this one alone gave me chills, i felt every bit of the narration and got hyped.
And nothing, just turned on my console.
You got a sub mate!
Top 5 Hardest Bosses. The Spawn in Caelid chewed me up like a Piece of Gum and spit me out like a Toothpick, from NG1-7.
Yup. That’s why I said “eff that” and just shot him with arrows and bolts for 15 minutes.
Where is he?
@@zepaduse97 in the merchant in the north middle area of caelid.
That fucker can put you down, and really showcased the boss’ potential at its best.
He was the only boss that had me switching combat styles, since I like to get range then quickly close it, he beat my ass at close range and beat it harder if I gained distance.
@@bogustoast22none25 That Bell-Bearing Hunter is the worst of the bunch, since he's in Dragonbarrow, the land of inflated damage/health.
That version is harder than the actual Elemer.
Yeah lol I Made the mistake of going to that merchant at night and I got my ass kicked lol.
He's probably the coolest non main boss in my opinion, he's so cool that you can buy his gear alongside alongside the main boss's gear
Elemer always fascinated me. I hope in DLC we can learn more about these other regions beyond the Lands Between
Eochaid is presumably in the lands between itself.
@@aceroy9195 Hopefully DLC land of reeds or Eochaid will be accessible. Who knows maybe other worlds entirely.
Its the city that stood in the center of the lands between before leyndel
@@alexhudson2006 Or the badlands or realm of the Numen
dude the quality of these sound design is just insane with your voice. Top tier lore content
The sound design and production are fantastic, what an incredible short
He's actually the Penitent One from a faraway land
Nah, that’s battlemage hugues
the character in the dlc tralier may be another warrior from eochiad then, he wears somewhat similar armor as a spartan
On my first playthrough, I didn't even fight the spirit versions of him until I'd already beaten the game. I had no idea about the other night time bosses either until I looked it up.
I loved this enemy; fighting him with Carian Slicer was a literal dance of swords
Was actually wondering what the lore for Elemer was, very neat stuff! I like how you told it in almost a fairytale kind of way
This was brilliant lol. Didn’t think a video short could be a masterpiece until I watched this. The writing is very well done and timed. Framing Elemar as like a protagonist and then shutting it down by using us as the player (tarnished) as the real main character. Pretty brilliant lol.
Love the production of these Shorts! The lore is amazing to learn about, it makes me wanna pick the game up again after years.
Its only been one year, not years. Actually it hasn’t even been one year yet.
I'm really happy to see you short on this guy. I was very intrigued by his character and lore just to his armour description and weapon description
Awesome storytelling with matching visuals!
“That is until you come along…” Cue half naked senator Armstrong running in with an iron ball in each hand
He really just Star Wars’ed his way out of execution
Dude that was really well done, your music choice voice tone editing all of it was flawless. I felt it
I love how high quality this channel is!
Out of all the bell bearers this was the one I had the least trouble with oddly enough.
His type was called a “condor/vulture” knight in 1.00
Ngl, seeing the item descriptions of the items the lore is from is a really nice element of these videos
Bro, the like and subscribed prompt was kinda genius and unique ngl
I love the detail that he took his executioner's blade as his own. It's such a nice intimidating element for an enemy. Ganondorf in Twilight Princess is the same way!
Love these lore shorts :)
Great freaking short… great job!!
Man, after the video about the "soul ball" in the anus that the headless demons in Sekiro rip out of you and associating it with the Dung Eater... I can't help but feel like the "bell bearing" might be the butt-soul of the merchants. I guess it would make sense that they would cover him in briars for that, the Erdtree will not be denied.
In return, if you ever tried to kill merchant you get their "butt souls" too.
Bro really said
"Nice sword, I'll be taking it now."
Top 5 favorite bosses, purely based on looks
I rock the set too. Love the color, and the interrupt potential in PvE. Rolling into enemies interrupts attacks and knocks em back for a second
Eochaid is a name of Gaelic origin. It's the name of many Kings and high Kings of Ireland, and some Kings in Scotland.
The etymology means 'horse'.
The limited lore of Eochaid and the style of Elemer's armour seems to suggest that Eochaid has Rome or Sparta for its inspiration, and possibly Celtic because of the name too.
Using the dancing blade against Elemer is such a baller move
This gave me goosebumps, those goosebumps that hit so hard they hurt.
Beat the game multiple times I’ve never ran into this guy ever , other than beating the “ real him “ at shaded castle.
It’s really specific scenarios you have to trigger for one to spawn. There are 3, one spawns where the turtle pope is, the other spawns where Garl is in limgrave, and the 3rd is in a hut deeper in Caelid next to a merchant. You have to turn it to nighttime at these huts, then rest again at the grace, then the bell bearing hunter will spawn when you exit the hut. You’ll know you’ve done this right when you’re resting at the grace and the NPC your with disappears
@@aidanbrown72there’s more than three dude
That weapon is absolutely amazing, probably my favorite in the game
This guy pissed me off for a good while before I got his move set down. A Jedi in Elden Ring. Good job Miyazaki.
(Side note: awesome video/short Vaati)
Element is definitely one of my favorite bosses after watching this lore video😂I knew that dude had some crazy lore
Eochaid is one of my favorite little lore bits. Considering the description of the Marais Executioner's sword and the shared weapon arts with the Regalia of Eochaid, I can only conclude this was a land of Irish Jedi.
You need to make more Lore Historys of Soulsborne Bosses and (maybe) weapons. You make an exellent work and i love hearing/watching your videos.
he's found at the church of vows, you have to talk to the turtle's radahn dialog every time before clicking night twice in a row until you see the turtle not present in thee church, walk up to the well and he spawns, If the turtle is still there, go through his radahn dialog then turn the clock to night again, it takes two times.
I've never seen a YT Short be so Epic!
Man, I love your short lore explanations. They're always interesting and high quality. Thanks!
Lore man you’ve done it again, thank you
This is phenomenal dude!
This is really an amazing idea you’ve come up with, narrating the lore of elden ring like so
I love the way you add in sound effects from thors hammer as it’s returning to his hand. It perfectly suits the way it moves
Your editing skills are top-notch 😮
Damn, that guy is even more badass than I thought.
When I learned of this I thought it was a hilarious concept as I had been killing all the donkey merchants my first run for the sheer fun of it
Your voice is just perfect,my guy i could listen to an audiobook narrated by him and I would fall asleep.
His sword is one of my favorite weapons to play around with. It's definitely not the best out there, but it's pretty good! And most of all, it's fun!
Real fear struck every time I had to fight one of them.
*“Who art thou, Tarnished?”*
“…Justice.”
"Call the Ambulance... But not for me." -Elmer
Imagine being a literal badass who slayed all the creatures of the lands between, only to be absolutely destroyed by a tarnished of no renown.
I always love the “until we/you came along” like they were on a wining streak the main character of the story then we pull up and just end their story
I really appreciate all the work you put in with the cinematics and story telling I look forward to watching any lore video from you! 🔥
