I guess I had more to say than I thought.

And, of course, look forward to Elden Ring Explained with Snake-Eyes Teieruji, Episode X.
I’ll Be Yours,

I always wondered if gravity magic was the magic of St trina, mainly cuz they are both purple, there is no magic associated with sleep, every other status effect has spells associated and the juvenile scholars use purple magic while singing a st trina lullaby.
The theory that fate is influenced in dreams and stars are interlinked with gravity magic.
Also people “fall” asleep haha
Im about halfway into this. Definitely some eye openers.
Remember that there is a part of leyendel missing? Maybe marika first seduced godfrey, then purged the rest of the crucibel loyal parts of the capitol, thats why it was such a massaker, because they litteraly purged the undesirables!
Thank you for this vid, got only engagement to give, but that you have truly earned…
Let's gooo
"recycled assets" the game uses architectural styles to help tell the story, why wouldnt you want to see familiar or similar assets in the dlc? theres answers there homie
You're on OF? Saucy
Lot's of respect for posting the entirety of your analysis prior to the story trailer. Far more of your theories in this still hold up than don't. It's fun to see your process before we all have access to the source material (the firmament as you put it). You've inspired me to take diligent notes to work towards my own theories when it comes out and see where we overlap. Also, can't wait for season 2 of ERwSET and hope more folks help you keep your head on fire!
I'm holding onto all of the Mending Runes for Miquella… I think this has something to do with all things flourishing
Present and attending!
imagine, if, this is only an if, they drop you straight into messmer fight early in DLC, then questions starts appearing, how big will the DLC be??
Out of curiosity, why did you mention Caelid? This expansion won't be involved with the main area
Rykard's Boss Room Has A Gloam-Mist Covering It When You Defeat Him. HE was Ranni's Messmer, the one who would purge the world to start anew should Ranni fail
40:34 well hello hello.
You're the most hardcore extremely fringe lore theorist in this niche of a niche of YT and I just want to say I appreciate it. Not trying to glaze. Sometimes you sound fucking insane. But I'm here for it.
i dont think the final dungeon is in middle map, i think we have map behind the green florest upper levels soo … they dont show us in trailer all the size of full map in upper levels !
Seems possible that when Mohg stole Miquella from the haligtree he took nothing more than a corpse, it's not clear when Miquella abandoned his body but that tidbit explains why Miquella's body has been "unresponsive".
That celestial dew connection is genius.
29:52 ma'am those are Trina's lilies. there is a sleepy guy right there. this is the naptime zone.
personally i thing the egg of rebirth is in the cloth at the beginning of the trailer. ya know the egg that rennala has
idk Miyazaki said in an interview that it's a physical place and not in another time. He said it's a like a parallel space that exists in the same timeframe.
Have you seen the divine tower theory? The DLC will likely be in the middle of the map between the divine towers, Marika's veil or baldachin is draping down from above and resting on the towers.
hoop snake!
that purple-y pink butterfly magic always reminds me of the Mesmer profession from the Guild Wars franchise
3:21 Miyazaki confirmed in his interview that it's not a dreamland or anything similar but an actual physical place that's just disconnected from the regular map now, more like Farum Azula where you get teleported to it.
There are albinaurics in the haligtree, they are the cocoon like things dotted all about
I think the fire giant's heads are appropriative, going off nothing but my own instinct. If the fire giants were lending their flame I think we would see their bas-reliefs of the forge, or the 8-1 circle ring of the fell god, or the face of the fell god that resides in their chests. Using the actual heads of the fire giants is strange, especially strapped to the hip/thighs and not as the actual head. Seems like trophies or something more sinister.
The grave behind the wickerman looks like it has a shell cut out of that, I don't think we've seen that before. hits the pipe could be Nox are ancient ocean symbolism related exhales
1:10:31 banished knight helm with raging wolf armor set? i always wear those 2 together. its my favorite armor drip to wear
At 1:05:50 the wilted wisteria tree in the background would look like a two fingers if pruned, and other wise it looks like it was interleaving in a helix shape (something we see a lot in the DLC and on certain sigils and items in the base game, and even in Miquella's Halig tree) before it died or stopped being tended to.
Blood of your fellows: Maybe the band of Miquella that we were asked to walk with
14:34 that buildings was detroyed by mesmer and his army
I know we have all tried to place Messmer’s birth and parentage in the timeline and make it fit, but it just occurred to me- why? Why does he need to be a child of Marika? Why can’t he be a husband? Marika has a history of putting her husbands away… this would explain the betrayal, seduction, and affair we hear. And I know Messmer refers to her as Mother, but it would not be amiss for any religion, cult, zealot, fanatic, or even royalty to want to be referred to as Mother. We have many modern day examples (Queen Elizabeth) where a population referred to her as queen mother or mum. And works of fiction, like a song of ice and fire, where the populace called Khaleesi “Meesa“ or Mother. Religions refer to their gods or goddesses in maternal and paternal ways. So again, I ask… what if Messmer was her first husband and waged this war for her. Then she betrayed and hid him away? Even would explain when Messmer taunts “wouldst thou lordship sanction in one so bereft of light?” as more derogatory and exasperated. Like “really? You left me and this is who is your consort?”
Radagon the impaler fell to the golden order then they fused or something like that to queen marika then Dad’s how the order started between no debt and no life my assumption is not fully there, but just think about it
Am I the only one who sees the hero's grave to the right in the first shot?
lovely lore dive! loved that live react to the celestial dew, i’ve been thinking about quite a few other “gameplay” elements that have major lore implications.
such as mirror’s ability to hide your eye features cast by dragoncult/bloodyfinger/frenzyflame. curious about connecting that and the pendants you can use to hide your appearance in co-op!
minor discussion point; gravity magic i think is misassociated with time. dragonlord placidusax at the heart of farum azula is responsible for that, and though a falling star destroys it… its not responsible for the time magic, that’s him.
hey isnt miquella's great rune just the rune of the unborn? i always kinda assumed that
1:32:04 the "other tree" growing out of the erdtree is a hand holding the falling erdtree. If you look closely, (from where the two trees intersect), you can see the thumb as if someone's right hand is holding the tree, to the immediate left of that is the "wrist" of the hand and then the forearm
Messmer, demigod of fashion emergencies. He might have power over his tyrannical flame, but he can't avoid getting roasted for his weird papier maché drake knight cosplay. At least he won't heavy roll with such a breezy fit.
Great analysis and theories!
