Godwyn reminds me a lot of Baldr from norse myth
Like Godwyn, Baldr was a golden god of light and love and was beloved by all
Baldr's death, in a plot set in motion by Loki, was what began ragnarok. Just as Godwyn's death led to the shattering
Interestingly Baldr returns after ragnarok to rule over the new world, I hope that we'll see something of Godwyn return
Damn, never thought about it like that. Good analysis!
Great correlation, it seems super fitting.
Yeah Only Rhadan has interested me as much as Godwyn, Man it sucks I wanna know more about this dude, The endings sucks hard too, It tells us nothing, For all that work we dont even get to see him in the ending or we become death, What a waste fo time
@@toprap88 The endings are like that because it's up to you, too imagine
Yes. Definitely influenced by the story of Baldr. Theres a lot of Slavic influence too.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radogost_(mythology)
Godwyn's rotting corpse creates weird copies of itself when Deathroot is given enough time to bloom. In Summonwater Village, probably where you fight other Tibia Mariners too, there are garlic bulb like growths all around. Looking closely reveals that they have the same dead and glazed over eyes that Godwyn's corpse entangled in the Erdtree roots has.
Also there are giant crabs that have become infected by Godwyn's corpse and are growing copies of his face on their backs.
There's also another one in Stormveil where you fight an ulcerated tree spirit
They're even in Farum Azula somehow
It should be noted Godwyn was also a fuckin gigiachad in life. After giving fortissax the hands and winning, he befriended the dragon and they ended up making the ancient dragon cult.
“Ok now that I’m done beating the shit out of you, let’s be friends”
Man’s the goat
Dread Fortissax was also a pretty big fucking deal. He was said to be the greatest warrior of the war the Greater Will and The Ancient Dragons had. Dual weilding lightning spears. It's like that one Predator handskake meme.
@@GrievyRZ she*
@@darkhobo Lansseax is the female.
Gilgamesh and incedu
Some goku shit
The bloodstain animation is the same one you get when you die to death blight build up
Was looking for this comment
Maybe fia is what did it to rogier
yh i dont know how he didnt get that lol maybe he hasnt experianced its delight yet haha
after Storm veil castle Rogier has a blanket over his legs and flies everywhere, and he was certain he was going to die and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. That bloodstain explains why, and also why he and D must've split ways. In other words, that boy got the death root. Thanks and awesome video!
@@jacobhall4055 Fia pegged him. =3
As Kratos himself puts it, "THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR KILLING A GOD!"
“A cycle must end…”
@@MetallicaKing48 Even when you have to torture and murder your own brother despite the fact he did nothing to deserve it. Seriously out of all of Merika's offspring Godwyn was one of the most honorable and actually showed mercy to an ancient dragon instead of killing him despite the fact he had every reason to do so.. Furthermore he didn't even force him into his service like Ranni did with the dragon she defeated but befriended him as a true equal. So tell me again a cycle must end..
@@Doomseer I think that Miquella comes to a close second compared to Godwyn. Although I do question his motives. He’s trying to rebuild the erd tree with the Haligtree. But he also wants to become a monarch that is in control of everything. Including free will of individuals.
@@MetallicaKing48 Yeah that is honestly one of the most burning questions I have regarding Miquella which is just how much does his inherent powers of persuasion come into play when it comes to the faith he inspires in his subjects. Furthermore it brings to mind an extremely difficult moral dilemma cause even if your intentions are completely pure does that give you the right to brainwash people into having absolute faith in you and as such never questioning your actions or motives.
@@Doomseer And it was Queen Marika herself that wanted to rob everybody from that blind faith.
I do wonder if Godwyn was chosen to die because he was the favorite of the Golden Order. Ranni's last middle finger to the Golden Order was perhaps to sever her ties and kill their "Golden" boy.
Ooh boi so i have news for you
@@papasweed.dispenseria5977 what
@@nutty1582 it's all marikas plan, ranní had a minor part in the whole thing
Probably wanted to weaken the golden order, Godwyn being one of her biggest threats so makes sense to get rid of him
@@papasweed.dispenseria5977 That's an unproven theory.
Ever notice how Ranni stole a piece of the rune of death and the guard on Maliketh’s sword has a piece missing?
Wow
I thought that she broke off a piece of the blade, because of how rough it looks.
That’s why maliketh had embedded it into his own hand, so no one could touch the tune but himself again
Godwyn gonna be the next "gwyns firstborn" we'll randomly cross him in elden ring 3 lol
We already cross him. He just don’t move.
Nah, we already got his name and came across him. That fool dead
completely dif nameless king was literally hidden in the lore until ds3 and i doubt elden ring will be a trilogy
He’s the deathroot that you find
Lots of people not getting or willfully ignoring the joke lol
I hope we see one dlc with godwyn, miquella, gloam eyed queen and another one with the outer gods
Or the badlands
Melina is the gloam eyed queen
Stromveil king
who else thinks the gloam eyed queen is melina
@@beefnoodles3941 Melina is Marika
Marika removed the rune of death and gave it to Maliketh before the shattering actually took place. The shattering did not cause people to be reborn through the erd tree, that was happening before the shattering.
In reality BEFORE Marika entrusted the rune to Maliketh, she previously entrusted it to the Gloam Eyed Queen (who is presumed to be another of her daughters, always Empyrean like Ranni, Malenia and Miquella. Whether she is actually Melina or not, is however debatable), who however, used it to create the Godskins and the deicidal Black Flame, with the apparent intention of building an army of "Godslayers", sparking a rebellion to depose Marika and become the new Goddess of the Lands Between. But she was defeated (and presumably killed) by Maliketh along with his followers, with Marika then making him the new keeper of the Death Rune.
Ohhh so THAT'S what happened to Roger!! Whenever the Death status bar fill up, that's the animation for it. That's why when you meet him in the round table hold afterwards, he is crippled and there are vines of death root in his legs if you angle the camera just right!!
Love the idea that Godwyn befriended dragons starting the ancient dragon cult incantations , unlike Gwyn who used his miracles to defeat them
I think Fia is responsible for what happened to Rogier. Rogier bloodstain animation is the same as the one the player have when he dies to the death blight. When Fia kills D his body has those roots coming out of it that also are visible when the player dies to the death blight. Also when we defeat Fia's champions we obtain a spell called Fia's Mist with the following decryption:
"Sorcery of Fia, the Deathbed Companion.
Creates a deathly mist before the caster, which inflicts Death blight upon those who enter. This sorcery can be cast while in motion. Charging enhances range of the mist.
This sorcery was developed to oppose the Roundtable Hold, and is effective only against the Tarnished"
There is also some other small stuff suggesting it like some of the Rogier dialogue:
"Half my body has been suffused with Death" which refers to the death blight status effect.
I think it’s more likely he was corrupted and killed by the deathblight from his contact with Godwyn’s corpse underneath storm veil rather then Fia herself being responsible. She is shown to be kind of a friend to Rogier since they are both sympathetic towards those who live in Death. I think it’s natural that the deathbed companion can wield the deathblight as well but that doesn’t necessarily make her responsible for his death.
What's extra sad is Rogier becomes one of her champions after he is death blighted.
She has no reason to know that rogier was investigating godwyns husk. All that we know for sure is that the mere contact with Goldwyn triggered death blight within rogier
@@grif419 I might be. It is just a theory of mine so it isn't anything certain but:
- No matter what we as a player do Godwyn corpse doesn't attack us and produces no deathblight. His soul is gone so Godwyn is more of a force of nature then a cautious being. He doesn't do anything... just spreads through the root system and blocks souls from returning to the Eardtree.
- Fia would know where Rogier was heading. He confides to her as it is apparent by us fighting his doll when we find Fia in the Deeproot Depths.
Rogier's death animation is what happens when you die from the death affliction.
While watching this video I just figured out why Godwyn looks like a mixture of so many creatures when he’s deformed.
He’s been buried under the Erdtree, in the roots of the crucible. The crucible is theorized to be an old tree that was taken over by the alien parasite Elden beast.
The crucible is responsible for old life in the world before the greater will. For example, demi-humans are old life that are a mixture of creatures. Look at misbegotten.
So Godwyn becomes a deformed fish looking mixture because he’s been placed at the source of the crucible, that being the old tree in Deeproot.
You should really cover the Crucible more it really changes things, like how Miquella’s tree looks more like the old tree and somehow attracts demihumans and ants, both creatures from the era before the greater will.
You're reading too much into it. Miyazaki was inspired by the dream of a Fisherman's Wife painting. You can see the implied parallel between dead godwyn and fia
I think his lower half was always fish because the opening cutscenes didn't show his legs and neither did the story trailer.
@@edsol335 Godwyn has more going on then just the fish so even if I drop that part, theory still stands.
Also the crucible knights have a lot to do with the roots of the old tree it’s not that far fetched to suggest Godwyn might have changed a little due to being buried in that one place that has everything to do with the the crucible lore.
@@wilburforce8046 no surprise someone with an anime child pfp is this stupid…
@@notbrandon721 seriously? Why would he have fish legs?
My speculation:
You can see signs of death-corruption on the surface at each deathroot/mariner area as well as a particular giant crab at the outer moat in Lyndell. To me they seem like mini husks sprouting out of the ground/forming on the crab's body, especially the fact the eyes have the same soulless look as Godwyns corpse.
I find it curious that Godwyn's body is essentially a giant Basilisk.. maybe the corpses naturally take the shape of an outer god of death? Who just so happens to look like Basilisks (who spew death curse)
Wouldn't that be the second time we've seen man into Serpent, just like Prelate? Could it be he intended to follow in Godwyn's footsteps the face has slight similarities I think.
There is also a seal and prayer book of the godskin apostles hidden away in Stormveil. Maybe Godrick studied those in order to skin Godwyn before he fled the capital, hoping to graft the flesh to himself to gain the power of a "trueborn heir" like hes always so obsessed with. The skin was too cursed though and started growing all those thorny vines that are tearing the castle apart, so he just tried to cover it up after that and keep anyone from finding it
I think Godwyn would have been the true/The elden lord they needed if he wasn't murdered
I feel like his death really changed things
Its claimed so many times that everyone loved him😭
The running theory is that since Marika’s his mother, and since incest is kind of bad, Marika planned on having the only Empyrean not related to her, Ranni, take over as the vessel of the Elden Ring. Ranni probably learned of this somehow and killed two birds with one stone
@@biggiecheese726 I like this theory dude
@@biggiecheese726 underrated as fuck comment, would explain why she was so chill giving up her body too, maybe that part was non-negotiable either way? Interesting
@@biggiecheese726 Awesome theory! 👍
@@biggiecheese726would explain a lot, especially since Ranni technically has the same goal as Marika: screw over the Greater Will.
Loving your lore videos!
I noticed the same husk at Rannis true bodies site where you see her flesh.
Also, the animation on Rogiers bloodstain is the animation on what happens to your character when affected by death from the npcs in the game
the greatsword grave text near leyndell also says that, during war with dragons, godwyn was strong enough to slay fortisaxx, then became friends with him, leading to the dragon cult
After I found the radagon statue in my first playthrough and used law of regression on it, ever since I have been spamming it on every statue, weird corpse and door in hopes to find a secret. I'm going to add the sword aswell to my systematic search.
I didn’t find/start the death quest line until Rogier told me to find Renna. Just seems like there’s a lot of connection between Fia, those who live in death, Renna and Melina. Also Rogier’s death animation from the blood animation happens to the player also when you get the instant death status or death blight
In the opening cut scene of the night of the black knives. I’ve always thought it looked more like a sacrifice instead of the murder it portrays
Well it’s both, just like how ancient residents of Mexico like the aztecs forcefully sacrificed people to the gods.
Been really enjoying these lore videos. Subscribed last week keep ‘em comin my man 🤙🏼
Poor Godwyn. When I first found out his soul died, I wondered if there was any way the elden beast could possibly bring him back ??
This might be late but miquella was going to bring him back during the eclipse a place where you can revive the dead souls of demi Gods but was halted because general radahn counquered the stars halting the process so he sent malenia to kill radahn but he was captured by Mogh
@@emanueldargan and since we killed Radahn, maybe the dlc will be Miquella trying to find Godwyns soul in the land of shadow
@@timothymills6134 hopefully
I found 3 eyes where fias quest ends. To the left of the body if you stand a bit away you can see there are 3 eyes with a spiral design. Its not too hsrd to find if you see it its on the elevated level to left of him.
What happens to Rioger looks like what happens when you get death blighted
Surprised nobody has commented about the giant that fell and got stuck between the mountains near the fire giant
What's happening for Rogier looks like the Death status effect. When your meter fills all the way up a spikey thing impales you and lifts you off the ground.
I love this channel already, can’t wait to watch all these lore videos
a year later and the thumbnail is still misspelled, keep doing god work
IMO the face under the castle is the skin that has been removed from the skull which is attached to the rest of the body in the roots.
Never noticed the bloodstain. It all adds up, though. Rogiere did say he was searching for something he believed to be in the castle, and the next time you see him, you're pit against him as you cut down Fia's champions. Never knew how he wound up there, so thanks for clearing that up
I find the whole thing about Goldwyn to be very interesting cuss even tho we know what happened to him with him being killed by the black knifes we still don't really know what's up with him and I like that
Godwyn was Balder, but when he died he turned into Nidhogg :D
There’s a second husk directly to the left of his body on the roots of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree will bring upon an eclipse, with the coming of the eclipse brings the resurrection of Godwyn the Golden. Sleep, Death, and Rot will all be important factors in the DLC. Idk just a theory
The Rogier death animation is the same one that happens when you die of "Death" status filling up with all the deathroots taking you
Huh, using Goldmasks rune removes gods, does it go against the fingers too I wonder. Greater will is just an outer god, would it make it so the world is free from outside influence? Is Goldmasks rune the answer to what Ranni tried to achieve? Sever the connection between herself and the Greater will?
I need to look into this stuff.
The Virgin ''kill you brother and yourself and destory the world order to make a new one'' Ranni vs Chad ''set the universe back on track with the sheer power of meditation' Goldmask
Goldmask's rune doesn't remove the gods, it simply puts forth the Tarnished as the sole power in the lands Between, and patches up the flaws in the Golden Order and the Erdtree. The Mending Rune of Order was "rediscovered," by Goldmask, he didn't create it, which means that it likely gives power back to the Greater Will.
His soul is separated from the body,spirit never dies.Fia can speak with him apparently.
2:27 this animation is the animation which plays when a player dies of the status ailment, Death. I’m sure you knew that and I’m sure other people knew it as well, but I wanted to share since my brain makes me share
First 👀 love da lore vids and speculation mane!
I really do hope future DLC explain more about both Miquella and Godwyn, as they are probably the two most mysterious characters in the games lore and thus some of the most interesting to me!
The way Roger is dying is the same as what happens when you get afflicted with deathblight and that appears to be what he is suffering from when you meet him at the round table.
I think the bloodstain that shows Rogier - same animation as when you get blight at max and die. Rogier however appears at the roundtable with his lower body being full of blight as opposed to seeing him the first time standing on his two feet in stormveil castle. So approaching the husk in stormveil castle got him 'blighted'? but only his lower half. Maybe thats why he says exercise caution if you approach it when you ask him in roundtable hold about the husk? Cool video man
Man that radahn video kill me. I love it. Please keep doing this.
Actually, I think Godwyn’s spirit is still in his body; when you attack Fía when she’s with Godwyn, she actually says “Godwyn, is that you?” I don’t think she’s delusional, nor do I think she’s taking advantage. I think she just wants what’s best for those living in death, like Godwyn, and is therefore using her powers as a deathbed companion to restore his strength.
Also that " cape " you can see where that fish tail is , it is the exact one godwin has when he dies in the trailer
So looking at the ancient Elden Ring Rune in Farum Azula and comparing it to the complete rune of death, my hypothesis is that the roots or tendrils coming from the ancient rune are actually the "legs" of the centipedes that make up destined death. I think its the same number of tendrils, and honestly, it would make sense as it was built into the order before Marika decided she didn't want it. It would also add extra context to the roots of deathblight and Godwyn extending throughout the Lands Between in its corruption instead of being the base of all things. Tangentially, I also think that the reason that the crucible is the embodiment of that previous order is because of ties to evolution. A sort of primordial drive for the new to replace the old with more fantastical and beastly enhancements to compete with the wilds of an "untamed" world. Without death as a base to return to both spiritually and materially, that can't happen. Resources dwindle, power grows stagnant, and the world starts to decay without death, Or you know, rot.
Now, with the complete rune of death extending outwardly instead of down, it would infect everything else and force the consumption of those that came before and a much more insidious evolution would instead ensue. One in which death is the time and place for one to evolve and grow more powerful. An order where death is ever present, even in life itself.
I just wanna point what I noticed when I seen that bloodstain after your last video… those roots are the same roots that’s appear and kill you when you die from death blight(curse in ds2 and 3). I confirmed it as well, I let a basilisk kill kill me by death meter filled and those roots show up and what kills you, I can’t put an idea to what the connection is though.
G.R.R Martin said in a interview that elden ring is a sequel to dark souls....
in case you didn't already know by now - The description fo the Mending Rune of Perfect Order refers to literally the Outer Gods, not the demigods. Goldmask realized that the Outer Gods' struggle for power over the lands between was the root of everything: Marika, the Shattering, the Elden Ring, Destined Death, the Frenzied Flame, the Erdtree, etc.
I wonder if Godrick the grafted attempted to graft Godwyn
The one below the castle looks to be just his flesh . The one at the roots looks like its been flayed.
If you play with camera in roundtable hold in room where Rogier resides you can see his legs pierced by black roots and hear flies buzzing...
Okay I have a theory. So we have a outer god of rot and blood so what if there's an outer god of death and using a finished needle of Miquella we can revert Godwyn back into his old state of luscious locks and muscly body in a future DLC.
Ngl night of the black knives kinda just sounds like every night in london
This kinda gives me an idea for a DLC Boss
So, because Godwyn is literally just this empty body now, still "Alive" but for all purposes, the being that was Godwyn is dead. So, imagine that regardless of the ending you chose, whether you went with Ranni or took the throne or whatever. The **Greater Will** don't like it, it doesn't like you. Maybe you're a temporary fix as a lord, Or if you went against the Order for whatever ending you've chosen.
So, the DLC brings an entirely new area, adding to the map.
A *New* Erdtree is plunged into the world to challenge you, carrying new kinds of Star-Beasts, Holy Valkyrie-like warriors that embody pure Order, Fae spirits and stuff. New enemies. You fight to get to the top of the Tree as it pierces the heavens
Reaching the top of the new Erdtree, you find a huge arena and another of the weird.. Godwyn-shell root things. As you enter the arena, the shell hangs suspended in the highest branches, Alive. Stars of light and space flow into it. The shell rips free, golden leaves making up its hair as it crawls, long arms dragging its body as the lower half forms into the fish-like tail. The soul of Godwyn may be dead, but the form is more than enough to be a tool for the Greater Will.
It's A Last Ditch Plan the Greater Will has, before you reach it. The empty vessel of the Former Demi-God breathes, deathblight flowing as it mindlessly charges you.
The Music Starts, The Health bar and its name appears
"The Golden Husk"
Pretty sure godwyns body is where the great tree is and this is just the roots growing in his image, same thing is show in places where you fight the tibia mariners and even the crabs have the same gaunt look on their shells
Between godwyn and the scarlet rott perhaps the frenzy flame is a mercy killing, a way to wipe the slate clean and have destined death pave that way by removing you from the picture.
Rogier gets attacked by the tentacles. If you talk to him at the Roundtable Hold right after this, he says something along the lines of "You found it too, huh? [...] I can now finally confirm my theories [...] I got mortally wounded by it. I guess you shouldn't disturb its tentacles".
That thing sure seems like a lifeless husk when we are there. But it most definitely was in some stage of "alive" when Rogier was there, whether conscious or just "muscle spasms", one of those tentacles stabbed our boy good.
Love the content
Rogier was Death Blighted, it's the same animation
Dang you went from 3000 to 35,000 in a month Congrats bro🔥
If you check out Godwyns body, he kinda looks like a giant basilisk but with a blighted head.
Don't know if this has any lore relevance, just cool to notice.
One Imporant information here. This two demigod bodys (Trone of Prince of Death location and below Stormveil) are different. Body from Storveil castle doesn't have EYES, but Godwyn's has. One more thing, look which color has flame in ruines below Storveil (it's white... or black).
And EYES, maybe we know about one of them we got it.
Ayeeee I saw those eyes, what up my fellow lord of frenzied flame brotha😂
Just visually alone Godwyns fate is so fascinating in conjunction with the wider Elden Ring lore, his body not trying dying and growing into a huge, megamycetic monstrosity.
So far I've gathered that while Ranni planned the night of the Black Knives, someone who controls the black knives had a hand in it. It was either Marika and Black Knives were her Praetorian Guard or it was the Dusk-Eyed Queen.
Either way Godwyn's leaked into the Crucible itself, his face appears even on crabs. And that makes sense, his body infected the roots of the Erd Tree as it grows from the Crucible.
I believe the two fingers were in control of the black knives, as least that's what people have said. I personally think the only connection marika has with them is that they are of the same race. (Numen)
While it’s interesting that the bloodstain is near the husk, I assumed it was Rogier meeting his end by the Tree Spirit. Perhaps he was looking at the face and got shanked.
the blood stain animation is the same as when you are afflicted with the death status effect
Omg I never knew. I always thought Godwyn was just a throwaway character and didn’t have as much lore . I used to wonder what he did before the he died. This is crazy cool how he is them husks
Rogier's death animation is the same as when the player is hit by death blight. Interesting because there are no death blight clouds in the area.
So, what did he do to trigger this, and can the player trigger this on themselves?
Nobody has testes that
I think we can
Rogier urges us not to disturb the corpse more than necessary
Which insinuates there's a way to trigger it to do something
It’s implied that him merely inspecting the husk of Godwyn caused his death blight.
when i saw rogiers bloodstain, my first thought was that he got stabbed, and then lifted with the blade, i thought that was why he was in the wheelchair bcuz stabbed thru the back
Fia’s body does go away if you give the twinned armor to D’s brother. He comes by and kills Fia and when you reload he drops the armor and his sword.
I think that body is the one from the bloodstain guy. Godwyn infects the erdtree, this infection spreads and when the person dies it becomes like Godwyn
the bloodstain of rogier!!! the action is when you are blighted by death
No, I didn't know that. Where was it mentioned that Ranni was the one that behind the night of black knives?
Rodgers death is the deathblight animation. Looks like he was impaled by the thorns by the deathblight.
I think marika was somehow also involved with the night of black knives and helped orchestrate godwyns death. The mausoleums seem to be tied to him with headless spirit knights guarding them, the power to restore remembrances, the fact they are tombs to the dead and the talking spirit next to the weeping peninsula mausoleum talks about an unwanted son
I think rani should have offed godrick instead she offed godwyn basically nameless king. Anyone who likes dragons is cool in my book dang frost witch.
Godrick was probably still in his mothers womb when she did that.
@@klaimhoper Grafted womb?
@@klaimhoper I'm not sure though because even though its stated he is a distant descendant. Its stated godwyn was the first of the (demigods) to die, meaning there were others to choose from. To be fair though her entire necessacity of killing another demigod at the same time is horribly skewed. It's never really stated why when two die simultaneously that one's body dies while another's soul dies.
The bloodstain animation looks like the backstab animation from the dark night assasins
You can find his face grown on Crabs right above his resting place above ground
I wonder if this is another facet of Fia's story. The animation Rogier does at Godwyns husk is the same as death blight which Fia murdered D with. Rogier and D were friends- traveling and working together for a time..so I wonder 🤔
2:21 that the deathblight dying animation
Godwyn wasn't the only one to die in the Night of Black Knives. The lore mentions multiple of Marika's children dying. Godwyn was just the only one that anyone seems to care about. The others are likely the headless and soulless demigods bodies in the Wandering Mausoleums. One theory is that the bodies are in those things so they don't touch the earth and create Deathroot themselves.
It seems to me Stormveil castle had Goldwyn home. Stormveil was and is the bastion of the Golden lineage (hence all the lions and Portrait of the clan). The sheer scale and tech involved means it was built during the prosperous years not the shattering and the aftermath.Perhaps just in context his body reacted to the grafting atrocities by morphing into the castle at least a part of his body did. After all if his soul is gone its possible his form has gone to a animal like intelligence that went for familiar places where he did in life. Hence why he is in the castle and nowhere else. Its his body seeking home which kinda of makes it even more sad
Title: What happened to Godwyn
Me: He died.
(Roll credits while the full house intro plays)
The wizard died because of deathblight, that is why after getting to the roundtable hold he is rooting from inside.
And about the thing found entangled in the roots of the deeproots I think its related to the essence of the primeval tree getting through the empty (not dead) body of Godwyn and it is proliferating somehow. It has basilisk like hands, fish tail, a clamp as a head, and that disturbing face shaped thing like it is depicting that the essence of life is manifestating through the vessel of a demigod's empty body. Godwyn as Ranni, isn't dead and I think that is key to this, as well as the crucible knight around the place. There are few weird questions like the following wich I consider that need to be responded.
Why Godwyn's corpse would lie there and not in the royal capital? When he was brandished with the name of Prince of Death, was it before or after his murder?
I’m Trying to understand, remember what Rogier says about those who live in death? Something about they came across a flaw in the order and that’s why he was trying to help them?
The flaw in the order is that the demi-gods are fickle in their beliefs of the golden order itself. Most of them leave.
someone suggested that the shape of the lands between takes that of godwyns twisted and infected body
Of all the creatures in Elden Ring, Godwyn is starting to resemble the tangled squids. Is it possible that, through death of the spirits, the tangled squids are created? They definitely resemble the thorns draped from Godwyn's husk beneath Stormveil
y know what i just realized. rogier was death blighted how i know that is cause that the deathblighted animation AND if we meet him in roundtable we can see some deathblight roots under the sheet
God dang Rogier's death is intense. Looks like when you get death blighted.
Godwyn would be that type of fellow to comfort you at the tavern after achieving no maidens
I dont think Fia is taking advantage of him its more like she trying to birth him a new body without it being mangled and D dosent want that as it goes against the Golden order. Only the Erdtree can give new life
You say about the bloodstain and made the joke about not wanting to know what happened in that death animation, if you get deathblight the type of poison from those worm face things that's the same animation
When I stopped by the church of pilgrimage there is a statue of godwyn and the ghost says the soulless demigod, marikas unwanted son. Damn man poor godwyn.
Why did I think you had like 5m subs severely underated
Honestly doing Godwyn like that is just perfect, I mean I’ve tried to think on the details of one living in death, does he feel pain? The pain of not being able to breath or eat or drink. His body rotting and becoming stagnant. I would like to see as many details about him as possible.
We don't really know what it means to have no soul in elden ring. It is possible godwyn still maintains a will but does not communicate in traditional manner. He can still dream after all.
