  4. Seems to take place at the same time as the game and is being added in there. Mesmer is looking to be malenia’s and miquella’s sibling, given the hair and there being three butterfly materials. Two of them being the nascent and aeonian butterfly, which do represent miquella and malenia. The third butterfly is the smoldering butterfly which might be representing Mesmer. Also Fromsoft has a strong tendency to have families have similar sounding names, in this case we have Marika, Miquella, Malenia, and Mesmer. The golden figure at the end has people thinking it’s some kind of spiritual form of Miquella given that Miquella originally had the body of a child but was put in that egg right at the beginning by Mohg to try and force grow him in his own image and attempt to create a new dynasty. That’s Miquella’s arm that’s hanging out of it.

  6. Messmer the Impaler has not been mentioned in the main game to what I am aware. It's possible that Messmer is either a sibling to Melania and Miquella or perhaps a child of one of the two. Or what I think he might be is a child, or reincarnation, of Praetor Rykard, the demi-god who fed himself to the Great Serpent, the Devourer of Worlds, as Messmer appears to have fire and volcanic magic along with a serpent coiled around him. If Messmer is the offspring of Rykard, then him mentioning "mother" could be referencing Tanith Lady of Blasphemy; Rykard's consort. Also the blonde character at the end of the trailer is likely either Miquella or St Trina. St Trina is theorized to be Miquella's other half, similar to how Marika and Radagon are two halves. On a side note I look forward to seeing your reaction to Vaati's video on the Age of Duskborn ending to Elden Ring.

  8. Im so excited for this DLC! But guess what it comes out one day before my baby girl is due! 😂❤ Messmer looks like such a badass boss and cant wait to explore the land of shadow

  9. Shadow takes place at the same time as the vents of main game, Messmer is an Empyrean, like Ranni and Melania. Messmer clearly has an issue with the Erdtree and with the Tarnished as well, and his avatar is the Snake (the "traitor") so it's very likely he against the Golden and Carrian Orders alike, and Shadow and Flame are his elements.

  10. Miquella is considered the most benevolent empyrean but also the most fearsome because he wields kindness to win the hearts of men. His goal with the Haligtree was to make his own order that would accept even the rejects of the Golden Order, Id imagine hes trying to do something similar here in the Land of Shadow. That blonde at the end was definitely him. Messmer is likely a rejected child of Marika/Radagon that she still found a use for though the snakes make me wonder if theres any relation to Rykard

    This DLC is meant to be entered after beating Radahn and Mohg so its taking place mid to late game as theres no time travel involved unlike previous souls titles.

  14. It looks really impressive. The aesthetics in this game are phenomenal anyway. The people at FromSoftware simply know how to design levels/worlds.

    I had a lot of problems at the beginning, but now it's a lot of fun, even if the story and lore are very cerebral and cryptic.

    I think it takes place many years in the past, before the golden earth tree from the main game…and tells the story of the members of the Roundtable…until we meet the son/unmarried child etc. of Radagon at the end…would be my guess.

  17. That lion dancer has about 2-3 little guys (probably Omen like Morgott or Mogh, see the horns adorned all over it) underneath it controlling it. Its directly inspired by the Chinese festival/parade costumes and it is such a unique design choice to pull from.

  20. The Lion was a multiple person Costume, like in the Chinese Parades, It is said that its part of the civilization that was before Marika and her reign. It was Miquella at the end, Remember? "I am Melania… Blade of Miquella." Great vid guys!!! love your content!!
