    As a matter of fact, that Tree Sentinel right outside the starting area probably have caused many tarnished to give up and uninstall the game right from the start . So they really did fulfilled their purpose lol.

    A personal theory I had was that the reason the Tree Sentinels are so absurdly massive(they're the size of or larger than most demigods) is that, similar to dragon communion, they have feasted upon the sap of the Erdtree, imparting some small fraction of its massive size and unending durability.

    I like the idea that Makar was once a Tree Sentinel, standing guard before Leyndell even after he's lost his mind and turned into a wyrm. I assumed it was a Tarnished who ate too many dragon hearts, but there's something evocative about a sentinel standing guard long after it has mutated/devolved.

    If the Sentinels protect & represent the interests of the Erdtree, it seems unlikely they would make quick or hasty decisions & haven't begun their stations recently. The motivation to obstruct Tarnished may be much simpler & older than trying to specifically prevent the Erdtree's burning, though I don't think they'd like the fire option either. Is it more plausible that their Order simply wants to make sure not just any Tarnished can become Elden Lord, but only the strong & worthy? They will stop chasing enemies & not abandon their posts to simply murder, after all. For the draconic Sentinels, extending their lifespan could also be an attractive part of their path... at least until the change goes too far.

    I do wonder if the draconic sentinel at farum azula isn't just serving to impede the tarnished, but also as a sort of warden to Maliketh? After all, while greatly loyal to Marika, he does hold the power of the rune of death, and is by far one of the strongest demigods still alive because of it. We also know already that Marika didn't exactly treat him well, considering some of his dialogue if you do the deathroot quest

      Like what, a jailer of some kind ? I don't think so, his devotion to Marika is very hard to doubt ,and I doubt there would only be a single draconic sentinel if the objective was to stop the shadow of marika feared by all the demi gods.
      I mean what even would be maliketh doing in the dead end of a flying city full of dragons, if it's not to hide the rune ?

  • @andredias9124
    @andredias9124 Před rokem +4

    I'm pretty sure that the Draconic tree sentinels didn't engage in dragon communion rituals rather the ancient dragons bestowed powers on then as a reward for worship. I remember reading somewhere that after the war of the ancients dragons Goldwyn befriended Fortissax and worship of the Ancient Dragons was accepted alongside worship of the Erdtree, in this new era a organization similar to the Roundtable Hold was created to communicate with the Ancient Dragons, that where Lansseax met Vyke and bestowed powers on him and that's probably where the Draconic Tree Sentinels got their dragon powers, so rather than dragon slayers they are dragon worshipers.

  • @MeanAndPristine
    @MeanAndPristine Před rokem +22

    From the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman description:
    “The ancient dragons, who ruled in the prehistoric era before the Erdtree, would protect their lord as a wall of living rock. And so it is that the shape of the dragon has become symbolic of all manner of protections.”
    It seems the assault of Gransax sparked a moment of inspiration for the Tree Sentinels. They would protect their lord as a wall of living rock, also; that is, using gravel stone and incantations of the Dragon Cult to bolster their defenses

    The dragon claw wielded by the draconic tree sentinels are a pretty big disappointment. Unlike the golden halberd and the erdtree great shield, the dragon greatclaw and dragonclaw great shield are both used very differently by the player than during the boss fight. The red lightning attacks used by the sentinels were instead replaced by the endure ashes of war. Pretty sad to see since I was very excited to use the weapon after finishing the boss fight.

    • @square-table-gaming

      I think the forbidden lands speaks for itself. The Tree Sentinels are stationed all along the way to the city. If someone has reached the forbidden lands then they've already failed in their mission to keep people out of the city that houses the Erdtree. With that in mind the draconic sentinel in Crumbling Farum Azula would be considered their last line of defense.

    After a while, for some reason, I got the impression that the Tree Sentinels were once Godwyn's guys. It doesn't say it anywhere but they do reflect Godwyn's journey before his death.
    Again just a speculation on that subject but if they were his warriors it also explains why HE was chosen to be "the first demi-god slain", whether you think it was just Ranni or if you think Marika was involved, it sorta wraps either one up nicely. Just Ranni: Obviously she would need to remove the Demi-god who dedicated himself to protecting the Erdtree itself. Marika involved: Aside from the same reason as Ranni the whole dragon religion thing Godwyn was starting up does not seem like it was favorable. It might have been tolerated simply because he was attached at the time.
    That and aside from the Prince of Death stuff there isn't really a lot of Godwyn's fingerprint still in the lands between. Also part of this theory is that Sentinels do not follow the Prince of Death, they were loyal to the cause not the founder.

    there is a piece of building near the first tree sentinel, that makes killing him very easy. you agro him, run on top of the top of the building piece, and the sentinel has trouble negotiating it, so he stays on the ground near it, leaving him vulnerable to being hit. it requires resetting occasionally if he gets on top with you, or teleports to his starting point, but his health remains depleted

    This is about everything I gathered from the game itself. Pretty standard but great video. I wish that the lore itself just went a little deeper. About the Erdtree itself and also about these Tree Sentinels. The Erdtree is a different topic entirely but what I mean about the Tree Sentinels is that I wish some information was given about their origin in the physical world. Where do they come from? Or rather, how do they come to be? Are they human? Can a Leyndell Knight ascend to the rank of Tree Sentinel the same way that a police officer starts out as a constable and could potentially become a Lieutenant or a Sergeant through gathering experience?

    i found the draconic versions of the equipment dissapointing, it would be nice if there was a unique red version of honed bolt with like two or 3 quick bolts instead of one yellow and their greatclaw could accept buffs so you could use vyke's lightning fotification on it. it also might not be dragon communion, because even though their horse spits fire, their abilities seem mostly like dragon cult incantations. im of the opinion though that communion with ancient dragons is a little different, which is why the placidusax communion spell only requires faith and is classified as neither

    I think that they might’ve made a deal with dragons or started worshipping them. They use lightning spells, which only seem to come from the worship of Dragons, as they come from the Dragon cult. Dragon Communion doesn’t seem to give this power, so I wonder if they actually participated in it.

    I don't think the Draconic Tree Sentinels partake in Dragon Communion for the chief reason they don't use any of its spells. They don't need to eat dragon hearts because Gransax's body is right there for the taking to make armor from. Any spells they use iirc come from the Dragon cult of Leyndell, formed after the war is over. The Leyndell Dragon Cult & Dragon Communion are almost certainly separate practices.
    If anyone has eaten a dragon heart, its the damned horse spitting fireballs at us.

    Can anyone confirm this but I think killing the Daconic sentinel before Malekith might be the trigger for breaking the Goldmask quest line. Specifially at the part where you have to do the law of regression and talk to Goldmask about Marika being Radagon. I didn't do the law of regression because I didn't have the int nor the means to get the int (aside from respecing). I also visited the pair in the capital, after godskin duo. Looked at the brother Gorhin (or what's hes name) shop and stuff. Then I spent a lot of time collecting items and upgrading items before changing the capital. After a while I went back to Goldmask and he's not there and the monk is dead or something. There was a bell bearing in he's place. And all I did in the meantime, as far as progression goes, was killing the sentinel before Malekith. Only thing that Wiki says about the law of regression puzzle, is that if you progress too far, you cant talk to Goldmask about Radagon anymore and the quest is over.
    I finally decided to do the law of regression because I wanted the T-pose emote and the skimpy outfit. And I was finally able to get 37 int using various items. But unfortunately right after the quest broke.

    This is probably a bit old news by now, but don't we know that the DTS's probably don't do dragon communion, considering the differences between the lightning-based Ancient Dragon powers, and the arcane-rooted Dragon Communion that utilizes the powers of modern dragons? Ancient Dragons don't drop dragon hearts or anything, after all, and the ancients were the ones from the dragon war right?

    • @square-table-gaming
      @square-table-gaming  Před rokem

      Both ancient and current dragons fought in the war. Dragon communion started due to the war as the dragon cult came from the alliance of Godwyn and Fortisaxx. The members of the dragon cult practiced dragon communion.

    nice theory, my main comment on it though is i don't think it was dragon communion for the draconic tree sentinels but dragon cult. communion is from devouring normal dragon hearts and corrupts the user, whereas the cult is what formed after Godwyn defeated an ancient dragon fortisaxx(i think), but they then made an alliance after. The reason i believe this is all the abilities they show are lightning based which is specifically dragon cult and not dragon communion. as Godwyn was the heir of the golden lineage it may be that the tree sentinels were his personal troups and the strongest benefitted from the dragon cult, now without there leader they serve the Erd tree itself, with the draconics tree sentinels both guarding the capitol(erd trees location), and Maliketh who had destined death. :)

But ye the horse shoots fire, but the riders use far more lightning skills which are associated with ancient 4 winged dragons. I could be wrong but their abilities line up more with the cult then with the communion group imo. Just wanted to throw that in to what you put, it’s just my take on the same evidence you presented.
