SmoughTown: Hey brother! Thank you so much for the kind words!

Far too kind - was my pleasure and thank you for your incredible insights on this
johndiesta9744: Max, I would love more lore videos from you about the Soul series, Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. You always have a different perspective and always bring something new to the Round Table. (Hehe, you get it?) I know Vaatividya, SmoughTown, and many more have covered more than enough of this type of content but I think you would be perfect to craft new theories for these stories and shine new light on references that would go unnoticed. Anyways, I am but a humble Tarnished, Praying to an Alchemic Outer God.
averytherockgod9822: One other interesting connection I found with Messmer’s serpent, is it similarities to Apep, a serpent also associated with the abyss and darkness in Egyptian mythology AND, it is even stated on a stone slate on top of one of the towers that the Land of Shadow used to be where matters of death were handled in the Land’s Between making the Land of Shadow a sort of Underworld and the Abyssal Serpent dwelling there. And Messmer using the Abyssal Serpent to devour those he sees as unworthy by the Grace of Gold holds a lot of parallels to how Apep devours the souls of the unrighteous in Egyptian mythology.
Focus716: So I think that the Hornsent actually succeeded in making a saint, Radagon/Marika. Otherwise how would a lowly Shaman women destined to be shoved in a jar even have the opportunity to “betray” the Hornsent, the rulers of the time?? How would she raise an army and wipe the Hornsent out when they seemed to have a pretty firm grip on the the Land of Shadow and especially the Shaman that lived there? And also this must mean that Numen = Shaman
LAK_770: One really interesting thing I caught today - from the description of the Winged Serpent Helm: The winged serpent is the token creature of Messmer's military forces. It is a wise friend which keeps the base serpent at bay and holds its power in check
likeasonntagmorgen: I’m fairly sure that the winged snakes are a separate entity to the Abyssal Serpent. The winged snakes are companions, whereas the abyssal serpent is sealed by messmer’s eye, bestowed by Marika.
beansnrice321: Cinnabar, being mercury sulfide, is actually just more mercury. lol. I suppose that might explain why sulfur was so important to Alchemists as well.
T1mWarr3n: Bro, Ziostorm and his mushroom theory are gonna frickin LOVE this! haha. Great video Max!
animeproblem1070: I genuinely believe you breaking down the philosophical components of elden rings core stories would be very good for the entire community
joesaiditstrue: Just a slight clarification regarding Marika and Radagon, they both inhabit the same physical body but they are two different people. Each has control over themself and not the other. We are also led to conclude that theyre at odds with each other
