Thanks for watching homies! What's your favorite Elden Ring mystery?
Did you try Earthbound yet 😢
I'm playing through for the first time now. Such a great video.
Good video. Nice Editing. You have a nice voice.good job. Keep thinking.
Elden Ring has been confirmed to have absolutely nothing to do with the other games in the FromSoft catalog.
Debunked.
Oh. Well. Pack it up gang, someone solved Elden Ring.
Niiice . Elden Ring lore is way better than Zelda . Kudos
Melina being the firstborn is something i didn't think of before
The Erd Tree has def been burned before. The ash on the way to the lift for the forbidden lands is evidence of that. I speculate the golden Erd Tree we see now is just grace or spiritual energy.
While I’ve never played Elden Ring or any of the “Souls” games by FromSoftware, but they’re very interesting to get a good read upon. From what I can gather in such games, the worlds around the player character are beyond repair and doomed from the very start. The player is not a normal human. No. Far from it. You’re playing as a being doomed to die and live again to fight another day while taking in the ruined world around you. No matter what your actions will be, there is no resolve. Dark Souls and Bloodborne to name a few… even if the player earns the best possible outcome, it doesn’t end with the light of peace. No. It always ends with a repeating cycle or a worse cycle. But of all of the Souls games, Elden Ring has an outcome with the player achieving his destined goal. Becoming the Elden Lord, and while there’s nothing left of the ruins of the Lands Between, the player character has the option to obtain what he came for and achieved his goal. The closest to a resolution in a Souls game I’ve seen (yes, I spoiled…). Though let’s be realistic, this isn’t just from From, but the game is based upon the work of George R. R. Martin, whose writings are inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings albeit in a more graphic fashion. If you’ve seen how Game of Thrones “ended”, well you can tell that it had some resolution, but never in the manner that fans would’ve hoped. Bottom line, what did others expect from the makers of Dark Souls and the writer of Game of Thrones? Being last year’s GOTY and all? And the stage crash at the Game Awards? Oh, the stupidity of humanity, LOL…
Speaking of Dark Souls…
Didn’t the Nameless King fight from Dark Souls III instantly remind you of Demise’s fight as it did with me?
Has Vaati gotten better about crediting his references and not claiming them as his own?

ELDEN RING LORE FROM MOXIE!!!!! 💗💗💗💗
Well im very glad that videos still have an outstanding quality but dont push the timing here fromsoft games are more "delicate" on details than zelda
The Crucible Knight helms show a budding tree and an axe, possibly implying that Godfrey and his knights chopped down the Great Tree to grow Marika’s new Erdtree bud.
I think we might see Melina burn for the first time in the DLC. I think she will burn Godwyn’s deathroot tree, and that would be why she returns “burned and bodiless” since the deathroot is a product of Godwyn’s body alone, so only her body would need to burn as kindling. She also seems tied with Miquella and Malenia’s butterflies, so she could be a third child of Marika and Radagon.
Always down for more perspectives on Elden Ring lore, have a like in these trying times. Edit: also check out Garrulous Goldmask, Honored Madman, A Human Justicar, Ratatoskr, V-Limit, The Elden Conspiracy, Sekiro Dubi, Kosmos, Miss Chalice, Last Protagonist, The brother's code, and The Ashen Hollow. I'm sure many people have heard of most of these folks but I think they all deserve some recognition anyways. Honorable mention to Shetani's Lair as well who breaks down item descriptions in Japanese, they're mainly focused on Sekiro but the content is phenomenal.
This is awesome, I’m sure your takes on ER are going to be insightful.
Such a underrated channel
Great video good lore and presentation
Great video Moxie, hope too see more ER content from you 😃
Nice video. Very casual and calm.
Definitely better than others who think yelling into their mic will give them more views.
