Radahn stans keep winning, but I personally am in Miyazaki's walls rn

anyway yeah miquella holding poor godwyn’s corpse like a man holds a fish

[dromie-11114]

I still think it’s so damn funny that Radagon had his ass out during his boss fight like put that shit away bro

would the youtube essays of the demigods be more summary or analysis

messmer: for every three hours of analysis he has three hours of summarizing. but really, no one is listening for either. most of his audience learned about him through a podcast called "found a new guy." they delight in performing psychoanalysis on the various neuroses and sexual hang-ups that ooze through his bitter personality

godwyn: mostly summary, but it isn't on purpose since he doesn't really know the difference. there is no evidence that he owns a shirt

morgott: it's clear from his voice (he won't do a face reveal) that he finds it worthy of contempt that you even need the analysis explained. there's not really summary either, he just scolds you a lot

mohg: you're an hour into the video and somehow it feels like the intro is still going. surely the essay proper is about to arrive, any minute now,

radahn: it's really more like a blog where he meanders through what he did that day. he records them in his car; his sunglasses stay on the whole time. in "essay" #1,071 he casually revealed miquella has been in the passenger seat, just off-camera, every time

rykard: very well-edited essay, with only enough summary needed to understand his interesting ideas. however, it seems he brings up his opposition to circumcision whenever he can. he always pulls back on the verge of ranting, but it's clear this occupies a prominent recess in his brain

ranni: the analysis produced by her astute mind is far out of proportion to the limited production value. there are still 144p videos? it's really just some unrelated video game footage while she talks. if anything, some additional context to her thoughts would help. she has never responded to a single comment, and seemingly has no interaction with her audience

malenia and miquella: they started their joint channel together when they were teens. in the decades since, they have published exactly five videos. their essays often seem to be leading up to really thought-provoking analysis. however, the project evidently always spirals out of control and they just upload a "part one" setup to their grand conclusions. there is no "part two" to be found, and three of their five videos are updates on their "progress." on each one is a pinned comment from marika saying "can't wait!!! xoxo"

I liked the memory fragment we see after defeating Miquella and Radahn but it makes me yearn for something similar after ALL the demigod fights now lol. If not after the fight itself, then maybe after you unlocked the power of their Great Rune at the Divine Towers. We could see key points of their lives like when they received their Great Runes - or even adding to the moments that are portrayed in the game's intro

Godrick being hounded from Leyndell or lamenting at Godfrey's portrait in Stormveil about his lack of power, culminating in his first grafting session

Malenia pledging herself to Miquella as his blade, the twins parting ways before the Battle of Aeonia, or their final conversation before he leaves for the Land of Shadow (which would hint at the dlc if you fight her first)

I'd pay to see memories of Morgott leaving the sewers and seeing the Erdtree in its full splendor for the first time, and Mohg's initial communion with the Formless Mother.

Rykard offering himself to the serpent or his discussion with Ranni when she gifts him the blasphemous claw. MAYBE A MEMORY WHERE RADAHN ACTUALLY SPEAKS 😩

I see a lot of Elden Ring players on here and elsewhere who feel mad or cheated or robbed that the DLC had nothing to do with Godwyn. And in one hand, yeah I get that, this DLC was so Miquella-focused you’d think we might get something about him, fair, but I think if we did get a Lord-Brother Godwyn and Miquella boss fight like so many people are saying they wanted, well. I think I would feel robbed.

The entire point of Godwyn is that he’s dead. He’s undead. He is One that lives in death. He has become the god of undeath. You cannot bring him back, many thousands have tried, including Miquella by way of some sort of Eclipse ritual (which I personally hope might be expanded upon in a future DLC.) Getting too close to him leads to nothing but blight and decay and death.

Anyways I personally think having Godwyn just show up randomly at the gate of divinity in some sort of twin princes fight would have been so much more out of left field for me. The relationship between Godwyn and Miquella and Melania is talked about in Lore sure, but the Haligtree and Redmanes having such an intimate and storied rivalry, as well as Melania and Radahn themselves, leaves the revelation that Miquella has been waiting for Radahn’s death to reincarnate him and force him to carry out his promise of consortship one way or another is somehow more interesting to me than “oh Miquella finally found a way to bring back Godwyn here at the gate of divinity teehee”.

The entire point of Godwyn is that he is undead. He is the prince of death. He became a pox on the Lands Between, and a tumor on the roots of the Erdtree, unable to be reborn, cursed to live in death. To undo that so simply would be to irreversibly change so much of the game beyond recognition.

Is this a spoiler? It's kinda a spolier... anyway...

WHY IT IS SO ACCURATE, TAYLOR, WHY???

ELDEN RING: Animated Ode to Miquella

Comments are awesome😂😂😂

[sermessmer]

my elden ring hot take of the day is i think godwyn being miquellas consort/the final boss of the dlc makes even less sense than radahn. because while radahn comes completely out of nowhere. at least he does not actively contradict the base games lore. which godwyn would.

[wxnheart]

That awkward moment when rarika’s consort meets rennala…

It’ll be awkward as hell, especially because she’s such an endearing person that the Golden Consort can’t help but feel sorry and guilty for her circumstances.

GC can’t help but wonder if Radagon even has a tinge of remorse for discarding Rennala so easily.

….If only they had the courage to ask.

[miiboosstuff]

ITS DONE ITS DONEEE

The details aren't really seen that well (cough, cough, image quality) so I put them down below

[an-apowell]

What I imagined happened. Based off of the incorrect Elden Ring quotes I have been making.

[dromie-11114]

So why do all the empryeans have some weird shit with their eyes

- Malenias have rotted off

-one of Rannis eyes are closed the other seems to be the connection point of her ghost form

-Miquellas are closed in his boss fight, and he gave them up to ascend

- Marika and Radagon just have empty sockets, and you can argue that the Scarseals were their eyes

[tarnussy]
