Hey leave some of that story for me to tell pls
LORE KING I KNEEL
Oh hey dude, keep up the great vids
Not this time bro🤣
I want that Prepare to cry right now Vaati
In search of the Elden Lore™
Ranni's all like "Oh, man. Wonder who could've killed Godwyn."
"tehee"
It's Godwyn's fault he couldn't handle a little trolling
“Ahuhuhuhu”
You just spoiled me...
@@sixbases6793 Bruh dont read comments under videos of a game you haven't finished yet
Me before release: Damn, what the hell did he do to get "Conqueror of the stars" as a title?
Me after fighting radahn: Wow, they meant that in a literal sense
Nobody can claim Radahn doesn´t live up to his title, thats for sure.
@@emetanti I think "Conqueror of the stars" is a little not cool enough for Radahn but I can't come up with a better title so I'll stick to that.
@@robbieaulia6462
Starscourge is also a badass title
@@Clarity_Control Epic enough but not classic enough.
Well not to literal when we figure out those "stars" are actually aliens
I like how Ranni telling the story is basically, "Yeah, someone stole the rune of death, dunno who did, lol. Also my big brother can kick your butt lmao."
I think this unscrupulous thief has already been punished, we should not look for him.
@@user-ot5ub7ck8j ранни это руснявая ипсо
"I don't know who did this but I bet she had a really good reason for it and was really sexy and cool"
"my brother can beat up your dad"
'Mine eldest brother may kicketh thy posterior'
Ranni asking "hmmmm who stole the rune of death? Why would they do this haha"
Yeah you’d need like, 4 arms to get away with it or something. I blame those damn crystal tunnel pests personally. They’ve certainly killed me enough to have Death.
Note that she asks, "The Elden Ring was broken, but by whom? And why?" It's true, she doesn't know.
She also comments, "What could the Demigods ever hope to win by warring?" It's also true, she doesn't know.
But she doesn't ask who stole the Rune of Death, or killed Godwyn, because she damn well knows lol.
@@bah9541 “well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions”
@@daneverharen1694 To be fair, it's not her fault the Elden ring was shattered. This is more like the if a prince killed himself so the king got pissed and plunged the whole country into anarchy. Would this have happened in the prince didn't kill himself? No. Is it the prince's fault that the king decided to start the apocalypse after the prince killed himself? Also no.
@@AL-lz6px Note that the Black Knives answered to Marika and the Greater Will alone. They wouldn't have killed Godwyn just because Ranni told them to. It's likely that not only was Marika involved, Raani was acting under orders.
Can't believe General Radahn paused an entire star system just so that he can ride his pony forever. Absolute madlad
My favourite boss has such a good back story and he severed his feet somehow just to ride his pony kinda sad for his horse in the end he becomes the weak point players strike 😂
@@Geppsyy Pretty sure Radahn's feet are eaten by the scarlet rot, since Malenia pumped tons of them inside him.
@@wzx6x6z6w yeah didn’t think of it like that how long after the story trailer was when we start to fight radahn though?
@@ManEaterBrainBug He can control the gravity of anything, including his own weight and that of the stars above.
@@ManEaterBrainBug He changed the gravitational forces so that his horse could still carry his massive body
You can see that Malenia whispered something to Radahn before her final attack.
Bet she was saying "I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella." :D
Or "Let your flesh be consumed by Scarlett rot". Seems more appropriate because that's what literally happened next
@@agasthya9128 just goes to show how insanely strong radahn is even by the games own standards, malenia had god given powers that fully came out when radahn moped the floor with her, nuking the entire countryside with radahn being at the epicentre who still survived while malenia had to be saved by finlay before radahn wouldve woken up and killed her
I thought she said *you will witness true horror* ?
Too long and doesn't fit lip movement.
"You will witness true horror" kinda fits
"The scarlett rot will devour you" fits pretty well
"And I have never known defeat" also fits
Problem is, her lips don't move enough to tell more clearly what kind of syllable she's doing.
Might have been "The scarlet bloom flowers once more."
"It happened an age ago, but when I recall I see it true" I bet you do, Ranni. I bet you do.
underrated comment

@@joshuadzindzio9541 what?
I don't get it
@@JP-mr1hn finish the game
They NEVER fail with character design, wow.
how could they with so much berserk material to get inspired by 😎
@@putyograsseson true, but Malenia is undoubtedly a Ghibli reference from Nausicaa (Princess Kushana). They definitely get inspiration from lots of amazing material but they do such a good job making it their own
y'all overlooking the other amazing thing , the battlefield they were fighting on is probably gonna be a boss arena
that boss duel-wielding the 2 monster hunter swords looks awesome
@@trashhumper i agree on that, nothing is a carbon copy and they just keep improving on the quality and uniqueness.
How much of a badass you need to be to have the title Conqueror of Stars
Guess we'll know once we fight him. 😳
He must have slain a few nightmares
kill midir no damage using caestus XDD
That's what I was thinking to..
Now I hope he don't get another High lord wolnir treatment.
It will be a pure disappointment
@@Angels-zt3np beating wolnir without hitting the bracelet XDDDD
It must have been heartbreaking for Radahn's surviving soldiers to see him going mad and constantly hear his howling, while they are not strong enough to put him out of his misery. It is also a brilliant idea that they advertise the battle against Radahn as a festival, so the participating heroes don't get their reputation tainted for teaming up against one enemy, and at the same time giving Radahn an honourable death.
I don't think warriors teaming up against Radahn will taint their reputation, this being was constantly refered to as hands down the strongest of the demigods
A will poison death 😏
@@sagivalia5041 ??? dude is shown getting bodied by morgott at the intro (cause he is a dumb fuck warlord) and then got fucked over by malenia... don't know how the fuck you got the "strongest of the demigods" from that lmao
@Ders snek in me boots I don't remember him saying that; do you know the quote?
Interestingly enough, there was a Roman Emperor who asked his servant to kill him, but the servants was so afraid to kill an emperor that they took their own life instead.
Took me a moment to realize after malenia stabbed radahn, she also thrust the broken part of the blade into herself so that her blood got into the wound. Gnarly.
I just saw that too! Is this how Melania infected Radahn with the Rot?
@@thePontiffsSnickerdoodles yeah, I just thought it was imbued with the sword but turns out she just yeeted her sword into herself lmao
@@thePontiffsSnickerdoodles No she infected him when she bloomed into the scarlet flower.
@Ders snek in me boots
Because it's a really cool and dramatically done fight that only serves for story. It doesn't matter what Radhan does, she was always intended to win so it would always end that way (not that this is bad in any way).
And there she broke the needle as well and nuked Caelid. What a bitch.
Ranni: on a night of wintery fog, the rune of death was stolen.
Me: By who?
Ranni: ...oh, That's not important.
DLC.
@@akai2345 you didnt get it. Ranni was the one who stole the rune of death
@@noth1ingoriginal535 pretty funny how often you hear these stories are incomplete when nah you just missed that info
Best girl is forgiven.
Noth1ingOriginal ok I got that but I still don’t understand who sent people to kill her “party”
No joke, I would KILL for a prequel game/movie/show that takes place during the Shattering. There’s be SO much to explore with that time frame.
Dark Souls 2 had parts where you went back in time to the war with the giants, FromSoft could do a similar thing through DLC.
@@Wulfspyder well, all dark souls dlcs have time travel section, we can have hope
i think an animation series, maybe on the style of arcane, would be amazing, and could still hold on to the many secrets of the lore.
I wouldn't be surprised if George turned it into a book and released it before Winds of Winter.
@@pallll12r Even Sekiro has time travel, and Bloodborne achieves something similar with the Hunter's Nightmare letting you experience Gherman and Maria's history.
Coming back to this after playing through the game, the cinematics are so much more impactful. The Lunar Princess as the narrator, seeing the Omen King lay down his crown, seeing Malenia and Raddahn’s fateful duel and the flower that created that hellhole in Caelid. There are still so many details we haven’t yet discovered from the game, we’ll probably come back to this trailer again in a month from now to see the differences.
Bruh.. what Malenia did to Calid. Holy demon shit!
Radahan is a Hero
Fuck Malenia
@@ahrfry basically she invaded Caelid presumably trying to take Radahn’s Rune and got fucked hard by the gigachad. Because of that she pulls out a covid nuke and make Caelid the hellhole we see today. Remember that Limgraves and the Lands Between still exists because Radahn’s men barricaded and stop the spread of covid
Even funnier that ranni is talking about the stealing of the rune
Imagine beating a 100 hour game you waited years for in a week?
1:12 I love this scene. It shows Morgott’s humility, self-hatred, and devotion to defending the Erdtree. It shows how he doesn’t believe he is worthy of bearing the crown of Lyndell, but will defend the Erdtree nonetheless despite his omen curse.
Morgott is such a cool character. Definitely deserved better.
No he's just putting his crown down because it's uncomfortable.
@@SomeGuyXD65 bruh
@@SomeGuyXD65 fuckin’ Einstein ova here
@@gudboah4688 You know it wasn't long ago, I remember he used to wait in the car
They never miss with their opening cinematics, huh?
the graphics for these intros are aways incridible
True
hit or miss, i guess they never miss huh
@@atomaweapon doesn't look like it! :)
I still can't believe how good ACFA's intro was.
This will absolutely be the opening cinematic
Edit: it wasn't
Sthu. You're absolutely right, as evidenced by Dark Souls 3's trailer.
Definitely one of the trailer ever made
Yes, indeed.
@@leeminhoe74 it is indeed one of the trailers ever made
@@leeminhoe74 This will be the game ever made
1:12 Now knowing the context of Morgott's character and background, this scene hits a lot harder. Considering that it's clearly Godfrey's crown, this is him showing respect to his father, probably the only person who ever gave a damn about him, as well as implying that despite being the ruler of Leyndell he still doesn't see himself as a worthy lord.
Love it when Radahn patiently waits until Malenia reattaches her arm. A true warrior.
meanwhile eren yeager punch warhammer titan while still transforming! big respect to radahn, a true chad!
And instead of throwing meteors at her purely might makes his right untill malenia plays Radahn dirty with cancer nuke.
@@secretname2670 it's also possible that the heat of the battle actually made her incapable of holding back the rot, mind you this girl already lost many things to the rot and held it back by sheer grit, she literally wrestle with it every single day of her life AND managed to stalemate radahn with a sword alone. Even her health regeneration mechanic isn't said to be from incantation/rune/sorcery (in fact the rune is rotted and weakened your healing power if it's equipped), it's her innate spirit of resistance incarnate that fuels her through her fights. She literally pushed through the fight with sheer willpower and bloodlust, the sight of people getting hit by her blade allowed her to push through and carry on the battle. The stalemate means she cant retain her willpower as neither could meaningfully damage the other. As her willpower is exhausted she became even more desperate to attack Radahn (hence why you see her abandon all forms of defense, sacrificed her prosthetics, grab the blade and *push the blade* with her body's entire weight). At that point she is probably at her limit and the rot is no longer held back by her exhausted will.
@@mystomachhurt9312 Radahn is literally holding meteors from passing through the sky. She did all but stalemate him, getting her arm ripped off. If you call getting into coma a stalemate then i guess she stalemated herself. She has literally nothing behind her besides "goofy ah sexy gurl , willpower strenght sumfin - while red general is just as strong with his mind and stronger with body. LetMeSoloHer does right by killing the rot wench all day.
@@secretname2670 she is getting a coma after the rot is released and by that time radahn is done man. Before it was a draw, a stalemate, as the monument itself said. I dont really care what she is out of universe, the monument said so.
Edit: Radahn holding back the stars is good and all until you noticed his rune is fully functional, while hers is rotted and don't actually help her in a fight. She is also an amputee who lost three limbs and two eyes and remain a capable enough warrior that its acknowledged that she stalemate radahn. But sure, radahn is such a chad that he managed to getting stalemated by (or in your case "defeating") a fucking disabled while holding back the stars is such an accomplishment after all.
And here I was thinking i couldn't be more hyped for this game.
Exactly
Bro, same. I finally made myself forget about it then this drops???
Yas! And we have brandly new fap-waifu till february!
@@Daniel-ww2io bro?
@@i-eat-moss Don't worry, i will share Storyteller with you)
The lore and atmosphere is so good, because it is written like a real mythology. This is always a sign of a high quality work. It has solid foundations. That's the real deal.
Thats George R R Martin for you
Seems pretty garby to me. Big Monster named Star Conquer General versus Lady the Injured, retold by Spiritually Schizoid Anime girl in big hat. Surely this is masterful storytelling.
@@tikiclock nice bait
@@tikiclock “lady the injured” 💀 you’re not wrong so that makes it pretty funny. Elden ring is gonna be great. At the worst, the game will still be fun.
Because it is written by the greatest writer of our time.
2:49 Malenia whispers, "You will witness true horror."
I can see one of her eyes... her expression looks so light yet somber
I thought this was a _joke_ but I think that’s _actually_ what she’s saying
I love how Radhan bassicly goes from "suprise" when seeing Malenia jump to "confuse" when she Stab herself to "oh f*ck" when she start blooming
i like how we think Radahn is the bad guys
but turns out he's just a warrior seeking a honorable death
They were all the bad guys because they wanted the shards for the Elden ring for themselves. That’s why you see Margit attacking them in the opening cinematic. And was talking trash too in his second fight
@@fullmetalavalanche Almost all of them got their own agendas to overturn the Golden Order. Only ones who are batshit insane cartoon villain evil are Godrick and Rykard. Even the edgy Lord of Blood got his own well constructed plan (it's just not going well).
Morgott just wanted to keep the status quo.
@@deppudeppudeppu lord of blood was kind of a pedo tho
@@deppudeppudeppu I would argue that Godrick is the most sympathetic character of all the sharbearers we fight. He was born runt of the litter and wasn't really anything special. He hid from fights among women and children when the war started. He took up grafting to make himself stronger because he KNOWS a bunch of folks will try and get his shard from him. He's a desperate man and wanted to do anything to have a chance of defending his shard. Even during the fight he doesn't even acknowledge you per se, he keeps going on about making his ancestors proud, capped off by the amazing voice work when he said "BEAR WITNESS!" to his ancestors. Even at the end, as he died, he tells us that "...And one day, we'll return together...To our home, bathed in rays of gold...". That's not to say, of course, that his grafting shit is justified but you can see why he did it.
@@sanzo21 😐
Yuka Kitamura hitting the mark yet again. What a legend!
She’s so freakin amazing
They used Margit's OST in this and it's so Good!
A legendary pos!
I think we can hear margit’s theme in the scene with the assault on the castle underneath the erdtree
im salty it isn't Motoi, but I'm sure he's probably busy AFFFF being good at keyboard
Now that Powerstance is back, General Radahn's sword looking kinda sick!
It's like the ringed knight paired greatswords, but curved. It's definitely gonna be fun when playing with it
@@marcoleung7253 these will be daggers for the player. All boss weapons are resized for the player
@@user-cf1ht2ly5o they'd be curved greatswords...
They are curved swords.
Curved.
Swords.
@@PierreLucSex they’d be curved greatswords.
Why the heck is this not in the actual intro? It's really good and has a bunch of lore.
It makes no sense. Ranni doesn’t meet you until later in the game. The first one you met is Melina and Varre if she doesn’t count
@@KhangNguyen-um4rg Actually not necessarily true. Renna (Ranni in disguise) meets you fairly early on to give you the spirit caller bell at the church of Marika outside of your starting location, so she does play a big role early on.
@@albertwesker3299 That's true, though it's easily missable (as most important things are). Missed it on my first playthrough. Only reason I even seen it was because I went back there to pvp on ng+ and she was sitting there all eerie like.
Would have been great as part of the intro. Somehow I thought the Npcs (Fia, Gideon etc.) were to be the bosses.
Kills the point. The intro is oil paintings because it’s supposed to convey the idea that this is a old story being retold to you. Having a cinematic exposition dump doesn’t really have the same effect beyond looking cool at least in my opinion.
Fun fact: The soldiers and knights that are raiding the capital belong to Stormveil and Godrick the Golden. We can see many wearing the Tree-and-Beast Surcoat and Godrick Knight set.
Hey just wait! What does it mean? Godrick is a traitor!?!
@@allmasterofficial All of them are. All of them warred for the other's Great Rune. None of them won and each one's respective region is destroyed. Although some just fought each other because tensions between were already high.
@@kerosenn7016 I already know what you said, just didn't understand you at the beginning, thank you btw.
@@kerosenn7016 Maybe Morgott just sat in the capital and protected it. The others though...
Another fun fact: He got his ass beaten by Malenia (there is a column with lore in Limgrave that says this), after he insulted her and then beg for his life. Bruh this guy...
This is a studio at the absolute top of their game.
better yet, there's probably gonna be an 8th game after this one, and then a 9th
@@liluminati9791 Hopefully a new ip and a sequel to Sekiro
@@jeisonloh_97 yeah i have a similar wishlist, with sekiro 2 coming first. i'd also love to see armored core make it's comeback as For Answer was my first console game ever
@@liluminati9791 man I would absolutely love a sci-fi souls game. really wanna see fromsoft's take on a post apocalyptic sci-fi setting
The last AAA hope that isn't in perpetual stagnation or chasing shareholders profit
Potboy was the one who shattered the Elden Ring and most likely the final boss, who else could match his power?
Potboi is a just a cover. The real final boss is the ditch. LMAO
@@billfletcher3966 nah the real final boss is Pot god. Sorry for the spoiler.
Pot father?
Potman is the Lord of Meme, definitely but even he may don't know the answer. I guess, it's up to Tarnished, to find out the truth.
It was the Mist Nobel all along...
It's interesting how clearly she remembers when the rune of death was stolen.
Like almost as if she saw it with her own eyes.
Almost as if she did it too haha lol.
Also such a coincidence that it was a night of "wintry fog" while ice magic is her specialty
Ranni asking questions like this shit wasn’t her fault
LMFAO bro rewatching this is so crazy like she really orchestrated all of this
Fr underrated comment
“ Ranni hearing of Godwyns death”
Ranni: “Damn that’s crazy!”
Wasn't expecting another trailer but holy this cinematic is incredible, man I'm really excited for Elden Ring, I think alot of people are gonna love it.
Nope lots of ppl bout to bitch and cry cause they suck
Im 100% sure elden ring will be the most game ever in history 💯
@@zarfo2667 what does that mean
@@daviddunn8377 It will be the game with the most game in it.
Don't hype yourself up guys keep it to a minimum we don't want another cyberpunk fail
Dude this game could not look any more promising
And it still does its amazing
The network test was literally my favourite game of the year, and it wasn’t even the full game
It definitely could but at least it shows no obvious, glaring flaws. Though games rarely do before release.
@@7dayspking yeah but I feel we have the advantage this time as many many fans have already played a portion of the game
@@Oddsbreaker Offering demos is pretty typical for modern releases, it's no guarantee of a polished experience start to finish though.
From Software's never had significant issues with polish anyway though. Their optimization is often mediocre and sometimes sections of the game are underdeveloped but they always release playable without any issues.
So even if quality isn't consistent, I see no reason this shouldn't be fully playable and smooth.
After 150 hours of playtime. This is hands down the best game I've ever played.
Ditto!
Same
This is the best game I have ever played.
Holy shit. I just finished the game for the first time tonight and my playtime was almost exactly 150 hours too. 151.7 hours to be exact.
@@MiosPanties I'm closer to 400 now. xD
Love it how now that everyone has played the game, the trailer makes so much more sense.
0:00 Ranni tells about the Shattering with the Divine Tower music playing
0:30 The Black Knife Assassins going for Godwyn while having the Eternal City music playing
1:11 Morgott putting down his crown as Last King of Leyndell to 'pick up his disguise' and going to slaughter everyone at the walls while having Leyndell's theme playing
1:35 Malenia's theme starts playing, showing part of the outer walls of Leyndell while the army gets nuked with Spears which can be found ingame as well
2:00 Malenia and Radahn having the battle of their lifetime with Malenia nuking herself to infect Radahn and furthermore all of Caelid with the Scarlet Rot.
3:06 Ranni secretly plotting by calculating that you wanna take the crown.
"Morgot picking up disguise" is more like Morgot just being Morgot
Nobody saw who "The last king of Lyendell" is. I wonder how the soldiers would feel if they knew the hulking Omen that was carving trough the enemies in the front gate was their King.
You see, that last part is where Ranni fucked up. She didn't realize that, after dealing with multiple bosses with second phases where they do anime kickflips and fire sword beams, I would decide "FUCK THIS SHIT, EVERYTHING BURNS!".
Frenzied Flame ending is the only good ending because, for once, I get to be the broken jackass with overly long and wide attacks.
@@unclaimedusername6608 *takes the frenzied flame*
*everyone, everywhere in the lands between* why do I hear boss music
?
When Malenia unleased the Scarlet Rot against Radahn, it was Malenia's phase 2 transition music playing.
Radhan and Malenia fight looked awesome. But now having played the game and understanding what scene that was, I could not help but feel sorry for Radhan. I'll wear his armor with pride.
The fact that Radahn in his prime stomped her so hard that she had to poison an entire country side to just tie says a lot about Radahn.
And having fought them both, I like Radahn even more after 4 days against Malenia.
@@joelmichaelviado1226 bruh just beat her today, I’d say her and final boss were even match on how bullshit it was but low key I feel like she was just a bit harder because of her healing, but I still love her. And I like that she cursed the big man with rot, I mean sucks for him but that’s so epic
@@NoneKnowing I hate Malenia. She bio-bombed an entire countryside and it would have spread to the entire rest of the Lands Between if Radahn's army didnt fight against and barricade the rot. Radahn and his army literally saved the entire map from annihlation.
Not 100% sure how much control of her Scarlet Rot she has since what the Scarlot Bloom represents is akin to an outer god; eg. The Greater Will. As far as I know she was born with Scarlot Rot, also not sure if she consciously used the flower since it knocked her out instantly and one of her only surviving soldiers carried her all the way from Caelid to the Haligtree (which is incredibly OP of the soldier to be honest).
@@pinguprice5480 She did consciously let the rot out. The Unalloyed Golden Needle you find was the one she used to keep the Scarlet Rot back, and it’s snapped in half; Millicent states “The pride she abandoned, to meet Radahn's measure.”
Holy crap it looks epic! The designwork is off the charts!
good morning
Japanese are amazing at designing things
if only the in game graphics looked like that and not oudated ds3
Smeldin Ring is basically Dark Souls 3 with a huge empty over world like The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
@@seafear494 You must be blind, game is graphically on par with Sekiro.
Happy 2 Years to Elden Ring!
There's so many details in this trailer that are so apparent after playing the game and understanding a lot of character plot-lines:
Ranni describing the Night of Black Knives with feigning herself having not been involved is because no one in the story actually knew she was the culprit. Canonically, Rogier discovers this after analyzing the Knife-print of one of the Black Knife assassins and determines Ranni carved the runes for the spell to apply the Rune of Death to the Black Knifes' blades. 0:31 - Most likely after the Black Knife Assassins began fleeing the Capital after having assassinated Godwyn.
I counted only 5 Black Knife assassins. Alecto is among them, and the other 4 are most likely the other ones we faced as boss fights (1 in Limgrave, 2 in Altus, and 1 in Liurnia). Meanwhile, Tiche was caught trying to flee the capital and we fight another one leading up to the Queen's Bedchamber that was likely cut down during the escape. There are 2 more in Ordina, totaling in 9--not including the assassins who attack Iji and Blaidd, but they could be the same ones as before since death would not have been re-established in the Lands Between by this point in the game canonically.
1:20 - Morgott laying down his crown and preparing to defend Leyndell. This is clearly after the Sovereign Alliance crumbled, and likely at the start of the second defense of Leyndell, where Margit steps in to defend the inner wall (siege being shown from 1:37).
2:37 - Malenia intentionally allowed her prosthesis to be broken so that she could use both ends of her blade. One to pierce Radahn (who is brought down to a knee), and the other to pierce her own heart--snapping the golden needle created by Miquella, and also to allow her blood to seep into Radahn's wound, infecting him with Scarlet Rot. The activation of the Scarlet Aeonia might have been beyond her control, as we know she needed to be carried back to the Haligtree after the battle. Radahn was disorientated from the Aeona and stumbled off into the Dunes where the player fights him.
Having rewatched this trailer after 100%ing the game it all makes sense now. Fucking phenomenal worldbuilding, incredible work Miyazaki
Man, that comment really annoys me, because it discounts the other hundreds of people who also made the game as good as it is, other than Miyazaki.
@@MJ-pu5lf ok lmao, let me just find out every single persons name who was involved in the story and write them all out
youre a dunce
George R.R. Martin had a hand in this too lol
I love how you can never understand shit from the stories of From Software games, and at the same time they are in my opinion the best at world building and lore
Idk, as far as stories go for these games I’m already on board with this ones overarching plot.
The only thing I’m lost on atm is why the death rune was stolen from the shattered ring. Which is okay obviously meant to be unknown as of now.
I’m assuming it’s our own people the “Tarnished” that did this or were framed perhaps due to us being exiled and hated by all.
Also, due to us, enemies and the two red head demigods locked in constant stalemate, Margit saying he’d essentially see us again - I’m guessing that’s all due to the death runes power granting the lands between “life” in its own screwed up way.
In dark souls it made sense to be unknown as you were undead and lost your mind. It broke the 4th wall and had the player experience the same state of mind as the character, learning as they progressed and read into items figments of knowledge.
As for Elden ring I’m assuming story telling will be more broad and open? We will have to see.
*Vaatividiya bursts into room*
sekiro was understandable at least, I liked that
@@daedelus7403 sekiro was more narrative based & character driven. that's why. with fromsoft's more RPG like games the storytelling is intentionally more vague. they want you to speculate on the world & the characters in it.
@@JayTraversJT hey man, I know this is 3 weeks old but could you explain the overarching plot that you know of so far?
The animation on Malenia vs Radahn is so gorgeous. I can see a lot of Sekiro inspirations from it too
Yes. It feels a lot like when Owl folds his hand and looks down at us at disappointment. Radhan even cuts her hand so that’s another Sekiro reference. 😅
poor horse
Lol I couldnt help but see Radahn as Demise from skyward sword 😂

@@Richard-pd1vc
Interesting.
Ranni: Omg who could have done this😮
😂😂😂
0:50 This must be when Godwyn's body starts to transform, as it mingles with the roots of the Erdtree and grows out of control resulting in him becoming the Prince of Death. His face can be found under Stormveil as well as Deeproot Depths and this is the primary source of the spread of deathroot, as well as the cause of all undead.

@@vaguehenri802 in this case, people already played the game. We have a somewhat trustworthy reference.
@@vaguehenri802 and yet red dead 2 is sitting as one of the highest rated games of all time on meta critic, and all the content creators who were given access to the Elden Ring network test said it was absolutely amazing.
They put so much passion into their games. It's truly amazing. I can play a game filled with characters, dialogues and cutscenes and feel like "okay, that was cool". But when I play a fromsoftware game, I journey through the world I don't understand, meet characters I don't comprehend and miss the story that is clearly there, and yet it always becomes such a memorable experience. Somehow it hits harder then the most dramatic stories ever written. Can't wait for this game.
Does it hit harder though. Are you finding the querkiness and charm memorable or are you literally in tears like you've never experienced before or since listening to the likes of the Crestfallen spouting his pessimistic tripe or more angry than you've ever felt being kicked off a ledge by Patches?
Don't think I've ever heard someone say a From Software game hits 'harder' than any other written work they've experienced. That's an odd one.
@@7dayspking ok dude you're in every comment it feels, replying to people's subjective opinions with your negativity. He said ' I journey through the world I don't understand, meet characters I don't comprehend and miss the story that is clearly there' and you reply asking if they cried or were angry. People enjoy the feeling of just existing in those games and not really knowing why, that's an actual emotion for some people and is more interesting than basic shit like feeling angry or sad (which we get enough of in life already). Google emotions such as occhiolism, kenopsia, onism, nodus tollens...The list goes on and are emotions that are interesting to some of us human beings and it was an artistic choice to explore those in the games. And yeah those weird emotions do 'hit hard' for a lot of people. You just don't feel it and that's okay... just go enjoy something else and let us be hyped. peace
@@Rosiestoned Mate, we were talking HARD HITTING. Not 'distinct', piss off with that BS.
Never said I never felt anything for Dark souls. But I doubt anyone's had a genuinely overwhelming emotional experience within Dark souls beyond frustration induced rage.

Bloodlord Mohn
Grace Lord Margot
Chaos Lord Hoarah Loux
Giant / Stars Lord Radahn
Spoilers for the full game:
Fucking bold of Ranni to be like "The Rune of Death was stolen... such a mystery" when she's the one who did that and caused almost all of this
Didn't do it herself, she organized the night of knives. Also some spoliers for the game below....
Morgott tells us that almost all the demigods are "pillagers and traitors", so maybe more characters are in on this conspiracy than we thought.
all the demi gods are traitors I am sure Ranni was just a small piece in everything
She only had a part in the stealing of it not the actual shattering. Also all the demigods went to war with each other afterwards for petty reasons so not even her fault.
He calls them traitors because they went to war instead of trying to restore order
@@red4763 Ranni is literally the mastermind behind the black knifes, she did it to free herself from the control of the greater will.
Back here after the Shadow of the Erdtree Story trailer and both go hard !
ranni... you know exactly who stole the rune of death
Who cares at least tarnished have waifu
@@ladybabe6958 I just say, Marika is still a waifu too. so the Tarnished gets a waifu in each ending aside from the 'Frenzied Flame'. And even then he gets a stalker UwU
@@aznereth3767 Melina going to kill Tarnished
@@ladybabe6958 Yandere stalker, fine
She'll never talk though hahaha. Unless you go to the ends of the earth and defeat some eldritch abominations for her, then she'll spill the beans.
I love the tiny details so much; did you guys notice (which I’m sure you all did) that before the fight begins The Conqueror of the Stars is waiting for her to basically arm herself up before the fight? I don’t know but that just adds so much character to him, I think that’s cool!! They really know how to go give their characters…well, character. Without speaking or doing so. This game is already a legend and it has not even come out fully yet.
Also his swords have gravitation symbols on then and the sword sparks purple and in game the are gravitation spells which bring down meteors and the spells have the same symbols and the spell is purple and it seems fitting that the conqueror of the stars would use magic that would allow one to rain down meteors on his victims.
Yeah, he’s definitely doing that “Go ahead, I’ll wait.” pose before their fight. He may be a giant and a conqueror, but he has manners.
@@Enneamorph they’re siblings after all
That poor horse T.T
I just noticed he's on a horse
@@kevinmars3984 Don't worry. He specifically learned gravity magic so his tiny horse doesn't feel his weight. This is canon btw.

Today we have another🎉😊
FUCKING HYPED JESUS
Yeeees🔥
Remember the first trailer we got an age ago? It seems like some people and me have had an idea of how Radahn and Malenia's fight went, in the minute 1:12 of that first trailer, we can see how Cleanrot Knight Finlay stabs Radahn in some area near his abdomen or chest, then Malenia comes at 2:40 and stabs herself applying rot into the wound Radahn had, then Malenia explodes into the Scarlet Bloom and probably knocks out or incapacitates Radahn for a moment. With both demi-gods almost done for, Finlay retreats, dragging Malenia away from the battle and leaving Radahn, howling at the sky, succumbing to the Scarlet Rot by the end of the first trailer.
I really wanna know how lore accurate this is. Like did Malenia really had to gank up on Radahn??
@@juwe7143 It's just a theory, this could be wrong because we're not sure how much the war lasted and at any point in the war this could had happened.
@@juwe7143 more likely Radahn was simply wounded in the actual battle by a different Cleanrot Knight. Finlay is seen using a sickle, not a spear.
Consider that by the point of the final duel we see in this trailer both of their armies were effectively annihilated. The entire area there is a battlefield. All that’s left are the 2 demigods.
So yeah that wound wasn’t from a gank during the duel it happened prior to that when the armies were fighting.

Ranni "The rune of death was stolen"
Huh I wonder who could have done something like that eh
2:35 I love this moment it's so cool how she just grabbed the blade with the other arm and jumped on him and stabbed using her body weight
Melina's left eye is closed, and she said she no longer had her body. The last shot, sharing the closed eye, the left eye closed seems to be Melina we met in game, and maybe the right side is her body, and she is fragmented in some way.
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Reminds me of the doll
exactly what i was thinking.
Sounds like her VA.
It’s Melina’s voice too that tells the story in this video, am I wrong?
I can definitely see George R. R. Martin’s influence in the story, the conflict looks rich, there is background conspiracy as well, very well done political conflict between the demigods, should spice the story up by a look, I can’t wait to play this and find out
Right!? I know this has nothing to do with 'A Beast for Norn' -- yet I find myself thinking on a few plot points
I mean its about a ring
don't expect any dragons until you're 99% through the game
@@adrian_shepherd4003 Flying Dragon Agheel would like a word with you.
Bro that's every souls game though.
At 2:50 you see Malenia saying something to Radahn, I’m 99% sure it’s “I am Malenia, blade of Miquella” lmao but real talk, curious to what she did utter before promptly destroying Caelid
she said: "nothing personal kid"
"You will witness true horror."
"now rot"
Pretty sure her lips are just trembling due to the pain XD
Pretty sure she saying something to her brother kind of thing as she will do everything so her brother's dream can become true and keep his promise to her.

Evil or not, you can tell General Radahn is a valiant/honorable warrior as he waits for Melania to lock her arm before he picks up his blades. *Melania locks arm* and he's like "Aight you good? Let's go"
He a real one for that💯
If you look closely. He’s sitting on a horse.
@Aliwos he's legit the only good selfless demigod imo. Tried to protect his region and soldiers. Up till you beat him he still holds up the "stars" (which is where astel and other celestial monsters come from) to protect the people. Well loved and admired by his soldiers who still protect caelid from the scarlet rot. Radahn set up the festival to die honorably bc he knows it's the best way to end his misery with the rot. Loves his horse so much he learnt anti gravity to ride his horse even after he grew to a massive size. Admired godfrey who was his idol.
@@akindumarasinghe131 Margott was a good demigod, hated for being born an Omen he still sought to protect the royal capital and the Erdtree from the other demigods who only wanted power.
@@minisquigy I agree but it is kinda sus that he doesn't mention mogh (the blood lord guy) even though they are brothers (or related)

This hits VERY different when you know most of the lore. When i played the game for like 100 hours and watched this trailer again it was still a mystery. Now after almost 1200 hours i feel like i watched a whole different trailer then i did before.
I love elder ring! Especially his famous quotes!
"The day is eldest before the ring" and "every ring has its elder".
How about you start elden ringing some bitches

It's funny when you notice now that Radahn is sitting on his little horse even in this trailer.
3:09 This is actually very out there compared to From's typical western Gothic style, I really like the ambition they're showing with this game
I wouldn't say From Software's characters necessarily have a 'Western' and 'Gothic' style, certainly not in the main souls series. Whether you're talking 18th century Gothic fiction, modern Gothic fashion or just of the 'of the period of Gothic architecture' (Because no From Software game has ever succeeded in being convincingly Western, medieval either.) unless we're talking Bloodborne.
They've always had that blend of typical Japanese style European medieval fantasy design tropes but with many genuinely historically inspired 16-17th century elements introduced (Referenced architecture, armour, clothing, weapons) and some outright modern elements and elements inspired by Asian mythology. Extremely generic for a Japanese take on Western medieval fantasy, they all do it.
It doesn't have the same aesthetically authentic quality works like Berserk, Maria the Virgin witch or even to the level of Capcom's Dragons dogma (which is more a broad, loose adaption of elements from the 12th-18th century. But it's medieval inspired elements are much more clear & accurately portrayed than From Software's works). And it doesn't have the highly fantastical, otherworldly elements of other Japanese works. From Software's Japanese made 'medieval' fantasy has always been really generic and that still doesn't seem to have changed.
I bet cosmos or other universe or something like this is involved here 😁😜
There is a lot of Norse DNA in this game, which is quite a departure from the typical western Gothic stuff ... some even pointed out that the characters in the duel at the end are inspired by Brunhilda (a Valkyrie) & Siegfried (a mighty hero).
. I need my games to be convincingly western please and approved by the historians and the ultra cultured superminds who write academic essays in the comment section
@@7dayspking A lot of generalised statements there with no specifics really. For one, what does Dragon's Dogma do that's more 'aesthetically authentic'? What does DS do that makes it generic when it comes to medieval-themed Japanese games? What Japanese games have the 'otherworldly elements' that Souls apparently 'lacks'(as if it were some kind of requirement)?
Not taking a dig at you, genuinely curious that you'd think DS's medieval world is generic and then cite Dragon's Dogma as a positive example. I mean that's a great game too, but still.
Impressive, I love how the music sounds, Yuka Kitamura has a unique talent for setting the works of From Software.
this trailer hits different after beating both of them and seeing these moves in person, its like killing gods.
Coming back here after finishing the game today to hear Ranni's voice open the trailer... I had no idea of the significance then! Thank you everyone at From and Bandai for your hard work, this game is an achievement to be remembered.
Looks amazing in every single way.

Starscourge radahn learned gravity magic for a heartwarming reason
Absolutely love that Radahn pauses the fight so Malenia can reattach her arm
He is quite literally a man of honor
And he was still cooking her ass. 😂
in a fight of life and death without any rules, Radahn gave Malenia the time to reattach that arm so he can be satiated that she beat Malenia in a fair fight.
Coming back to this with the context the game gives you through its lore puts so much into perspective. Witnessing the Night of Black Knives, the battlegrounds outside Lyndell, the duel between Radahn and Malenia, as well as Malenia's second blossom of three.
I think this is her first blossom, and the one in Elphael is her second after discovering Miquella was stolen. Why she then went a couple rooms over and sat in a chair is beyond me though. She seems more like she should have immediately left and started tearing the land apart, again, searching for him.
@@Wulfspyder My interpretation is that Elphael rotted simply for proximity. We don't see any giant flower there. If that's correct, the one during the fight with us is only the second blossom and she never became a true goddess.
@@Flymerick There's a blossom in the room on the left before you reach her boss door. And so far as we know, her doing the big flower power is what nuked Caelid. The blossom in Elphael is much smaller though, which is why Elphael and the Haligtree are more afflicted with cancer rather than Nurgle's toilet.
@@Wulfspyder oh, really? I didn't notice
@@Wulfspyder That blossom is also right next to where you pick up the traveler's set, the same clothes that Millicent and her sisters wear. My interpretation is that blossom is from someone like Millicent, who also turns into a blossom if you go against her at the end of her quest.
Elden Ring hype is making me feel like I am a kid again opening up a copy of Zelda: OoT for Christmas and playing it for the first time.
