danithefoot633: The image of the sword puncturing him in the way it does hits my body horror nerve
entroponetics: For your sight/blindness video, I recently learned that in Japanese folklore, those with only one eye are thought to have an easier time communing with the divine.
eurongreyjoy2: Wild theory, I think the Ruins of Unte were once in the Hinterlands where we find the massive unnatural-looking crater kinda awkwardly positioned. We find an incantation in the ruins that is associated with the inquisition. I speculate maybe it was an occupying Hornsent settlement near Shaman village that Marika basically ejected from the Hinterlands, something that would certainly be of great offense to her. Of course, the further evidence to this are the flowers. I also find it interesting that the Abyssal Woods are downstream from the Shadow Keep, can't help but feel that has thematic significance.
elliottrichmond1579: I'm sorry if this comes across weird, but your voice is genuinely so pleasant to listen to, I could just sit and listen to you talk for hours
ZayftheScholar: Great video as always KiteTales! I really like how you used the metaphor of ripening to describe what is happening with Midra's frenzy. It nicely invokes the grapes of wrath
caliaid: I love the theory that they’re Marika’s parents, esp with the line about Miquella’s line being “mired in madness” - a “mire” is a swamp, which lends another shade to that statement - perhaps it’s more literal than we assumed and his line was literally from the mad swamp!
revenge3265: Yes. There's absolutely no shot Nanaya didn't deliberately invite Frenzied Flame onto the Manse/Sanctum. Between the eerie painting and her personally owning a torch of another failed Frenzied Lord from a different land (which is important since the Hornsent literally quarantined the area. meaning she got it from somewhere else before that), Nanaya 100% used Midra in hopes of creating a new lord. My question is, why?
anonimojones4164: My theory is that The frenzy flame is a reference to the 18 century enlightenment. Let me explain:
In elden ring those who cover their eyes do that because they have faith that they don’t need to see the path. That is literally blind faith, but the frenzy flame do the opposite. The followers of the frenzy flame are blind people that are trying to see. They are no longer put their faith in the gods, but in something else. You might say “the frenzy flame is a outer god” “is still faith”. However the flame behaves more like a tool than a god. Their followers don’t do worship the flame in the same way the horns did with the cruxible or the golden order do with the two fingers. They have a cause and will use the power of the flames to achieve it. Now about the enlightenment, in the end of the 17th century humanity tried to explain the nature base on logic and not god. If you read the authors ( Voltaire, Sade, Rosseuau and etc) of that period they are focus on material reality of things. Midra is a sage, maybe a philosopher he could have discovered the flame not by a external force, but by logic and reflection. Another why of explain the word. That might have been considered dangerous because was bad for the dogmatic faith of the horns. Also enlightenment can literally be described as what happened with the lord of the frenzy flame. That can be a reference of buddhism. Since a big part of buddhism is the end of the suffering, exactly what happened with Midra when he became the lord
rohiogerv22: The fingerprints in the boss room are something I never noticed, and very cool.

Something I can't get over about the Three Fingers, and how I end up seeing them, is how compassionate, how personable, they seem to be to their followers, compared to any other fingers we meet. The way the game links the Warming Stone and the Frenzyflame Stone seems to further this feeling. I kind of think that the Three Fingers are not essentially
luna7157: I don't think Shabriri is the only emanation of the Frenzied Flame, he's just full of himself (and probably the individual responsible for the genocide of the nomads). If Shabriri is Nanaya, then he is also Hyetta, whose body belonged to Irina. I think Nanaya is simply a third "individual" in this collection of personalities returned to spread chaos.
K8theKind: Once again establishing why you’re the Queen of the lore in this space! Absolute masterpiece! I love how effortless this is for you lol extraordinary and quite compelling.
cake2806: Nanaya? Nanaya business!
argenthobbies4300: I am suprised no one has linked that Midra is a shadow to Goldmask.
The very similar corpselike body structure. The fact that Goldmasks mask has a similar look and style to the lord of frenzied flame. The tattered robes they both wear
Maybe goldmask looks similar to midra in the painting without the mask.
