Yasss! I wanted a Zoe Lore Dump for Elden Ring so badly.
Oooh in before Vaati. Let's go!
Correction: Radagon was already a god before meeting Rennala.
What a pleasant surprise that Zoe is rocking the lore telling while the other two are covering co-op.
Amazing video, great job Zoe! These lore dives give me such life, can't wait for more
So much of this game's story is 'tell, don't show.' Kind of sucks tbh. Reading an item description about how Babadook the Constipated defeated Shambala the Stinky in an epic battle isn't good storytelling. It's like reading a dry, academic history book.
Oh Zoe, you spoil us.
wow! I didn’t expect that the video would be drop this soon! 👏
Milliscent is best girl.
Godwyn was Godfrey and Marika's son, not Radagon and Marika's.
Thank you for these lore videos
I don't remember where I saw it (in-game or other video?), but I think the reason Blaidd went crazy was because he was still bound by the two fingers, having been created by them for Ranni. Because he betrayed them, they tried to force him to turn on Ranni. That raises the question, then… why did it take so long for them to do anything?
Also, hadn't seen half that stuff about the Godskin acolytes. Can't wait to see more about them.
I choose to believe that the fungal helm is a precarious stack of pancakes. I will not be taking questions at this time.
Godwyn is the first born of the golden lineage, Godfrey and Marika. Radagon was a god prior to his marriage to Marika as they are the same being. Rykard and Ranni seem to have some good relations as Rykard was awarded a shard of Maliketh's sword for his part in the plot. Rykard was also planning to fight Maliketh seemingly to protect Ranni if Maliketh uncovered the plot.
Absolutely well done! Can’t wait for more! Thank you.
I love Ranni so much, definitely went with her ending. This is a great video Zoe!
You’re more correct about Blaidd going mad. Iji mentions that he will be driven to madness if Rambo goes against the Golden Order, and well…FromSoft just making sad boss fights for us as per usual. Great vid! Thanks for starting this endeavor!
