robertdelgado544: I think that most people who thought the final dlc boss would be Godwyn fundamentally misunderstood Miquellas curse. He's not cursed with eternal youth, it's the inability to finish anything he's starts. He can't finish growing up, he can't finish growing the Haligtree, he can't finish resurrecting Godwyn and he can't finish becoming a god and imposing his order.
loblo5542: Elden ring is such a great game with ton of mysteries left unexplained.
karmageezah4987: Did u know the golden vow the hornset people use is different from the normal one. It has the spiral insignia instead of the erdtree
damienmcneff7715: Hey it’s my iceberg :D
This is gonna get good towards the end sections (with the ones I had no room for on the iceberg :p)
Edit: The island in the ocean is actually that island right next to Mt Glemir that seems to be in a hole in the ocean. Kinda funny because you see it in the same clip you talk about the topic XD
waltermolinski: I wonder if the removal of an eye indicates a decision to reject the plan of the greater will or Merika. Ansbach says that Miquella removing his eye indicates he has rejected his Godhood. Mesmer apologizes to his mother before removing his. Ranni’s missing eye could indicate her rebellion, Melina’s could indicate her desire to burn the Erd Tree, etc.
hahaalexasendthistorodrick: Godefroy is the gloam eyed queen.
HyperActiveGymGuy: I think radagon and GEQ had Mesmmer (and Melina as a child). The power of Destined Death present in the flame of the GEQ, also manifests partially in Mesmers flame, since Mesmers flame can also bring Death. Marika and radagon were always the same, but as radagon she seduces the GEQ and betrayed her
clame3065: It's kinda crazy how much people clung onto Castle Sol and Miquella's connection to Godwyn. The whole journey to Malenia is a road of Miquella's abandoned projects and failures. First comes Latenna, and all the Albinaurics that never made it to the Haligtree, despite it having been promised to them by someone, presumably Miquella, at some point - considering they literally refer to it as "promised land." Then there's Castle Sol, where the clear story being shown is that despite Miquella's love for Godwyn, he still couldn't find a way to revive him. I thought it was pretty wrapped up there, as yet another tragedy along Miquella's path. Then there's the Haligtree itself, unfinished and filled with devout followers willing to blow themselves up to protect it, rotting from the inside. Malenia herself, his own sister, was even abandoned by Miquella so that he could pursue his own godhood. Miquella takes and takes and promises miracles in return, but he can never make them happen, all building up to the failure of healing his sister's rotting vessel, or making a promised home for the down-trodden, or reviving a dead soul/killing a body that lives in death. And that's exactly what the dlc is showing us - how despite how much he's willing to sacrifice, he will keep taking and taking, ultimately being unable to do what he promised so many he would.
codyjames4814: Even if it a long shot for sequel. Yet a part 2 taking down the outer gods would be awesome
DavidHill-im2zg: I made a discovery yesterday which I think is huge. I know what's at the center of the divine tower hexagon. The realm of shadows is said to be in the same place as the lands between, that the scadutree is where the erdtree is. It turns out this is true. I don't understand the physics, but if you line up the sap collecting chalice with where Marika's bedchamber is...looking to the south of the map you can line up the cerulean coast with the lower edge of the cliffs in Limgrave. Bayle's mountain basically lines up with Caelid as well. If you overlay these maps and mess with transparency you'll see it. Then draw out the astrix between the divine towers and make the shadow realm more visible. Exactly where the lines meet is the "O Mother" gesture needed to find the truth of Marika's origins.
n8doggy733: you mentioned Tarnished Archaeologist, my iceberg theory is that the TA team is actually George RR Martin that dude is just waaaay too good to not have some inside info
kennethmoureau5123: To add to the part about Melina being Marika's daughter, her name in the game's files is something like "daughterofmarika"
StyleshStorm: ok that's enough. I'm onion rings overloaded
sk8legendz: The real ice berg is deleting the game, re-downloading with no wifi to play the Original Release Version, and discovering almost everything has had description changes, and then finding out original descriptions may have had bigger lore reveals and DLC connections than we originally knew of
