If you don't like the idea of your character becoming a magma wyrm you can just say that your character is based and redpilled and magma wyrm are cringe soyjack who don't upvote chonkers and/or praise Elon Musk but instead worship dragons in the betacuck communion

Our character most likely would find a cure tbh

Seriously, you can do Rennala's rebirth a infinite number of times without getting weaker in the slightest even though it's supposedly meant to do so in lore. Your character quite literally *is* built different.

@@goreycarousel9689 it’s because we have her Rune of Rebirth

@@lp5170 Ah, that explains it, completely went over my head. Thanks for the info my guy.

That’s actually really cool! Can you tell me where this is said in the game cause I was a lightning Dex build and I would like to know more about it’s lore within my own research

@@whataghost1524 I don't think it's ever actually said, but that is really the gist of the different between Dragon Communion, and the Dragon Cult. In Dragon Communon, you devour the hearts of dragons, stealing their powers, and quite a few of their abilities. But you are condemned to a miserable life as a Magma Wyrm, likely suffering from ego death. Theodorix's Magma states that his name lives on, but makes no mention of him as a Magma Wyrm and no references to his thoughts or opinions, unlike other dragons. It's never stated anywhere, but Dragon Communion is definitely based on the story of Sigurd/Siegfried, who consumed the heart of Fafnir, an evil dragon that was once a dwarf, but became obsessed with his gold. The fates of Magma Wyrms is basically a mix of Sigurd and Fafnir's stories. Dragon Cult Incantations, on the other hand, are given to those who worshipped dragons. Lansseax was said to have turned into a human to lead the Dragon Cult in Leyndell. She loved Vyke the most out of everyone, and gave him a cool lightning weapon. Apparently, only those loved by dragons can wreathe themselves in the lightning of them. Gameplay-wise, there is nothing that actually indicates that these have differences in strength. Lorewise, it's evident that Dragon Communion is morally wrong, as dragons are shown to be sapient lifeforms, and Ekzykes, even while suffering from Scarlet Rot, fought away anyone trying to do so. However, those loved by dragons, such as Vyke, not only have the moral high ground, but are also blessed with the strength of dragons without running the risk of losing your humanity.

Id say becoming a magma wyrm is a slight adverse effect

So if the whole magma wyrm thing is a curse, would the celestial dew redeem you for your "atrocities" some how?

@@lordphuckwadd6462 does it revert your eyes back to normal? I'm not sure but I doubt it. The dew also doesn't revive dead NPCs as far as I'm aware, it can only make them forgive you if they're still alive, so I doubt it would work here.

More dragons is never a bad idea! =D

If only they had more variation, each one of the special types seem to have just one attack separating them from a generic dragon.

For me every dragon fight was really fun and memorable, I never thought twice about reused enemies until I heard people mentioning it online...

I just feel it got repetitive design wise. The other games such as ds1 for example had decent variety not to mention fighting the same enemy over and over again can take away from the significance of the fight. I was however more disappointed with the reuse of Fortissax/Lannseax as meager enemies within Farum Azula. Fortissax was supposed to be the greatest soldier of the dragons yet if he is simply another dragon then it takes something away from him, unless the two dragons are like Lannseax and Fortissax within a different time?I guess that would make sense considering the Fortissax variant is missing most of its HP.

@@dylanschmeichel2008 It is one of the reasons why I liked Placidusax alot, because of the fact that there is only one of him. I may not have been bothered by encountering four other dragons that look like Lansseax in Farum Azula, but I will say that his title of Dragonlord really stands out when I only encounter him in one secret location for one fight. The only time I would accept another encounter would be through time travel where he be in full health, as in all five heads and no wounds.

Behold, fat coin purse! That's what my messages said next to his loot. Didn't expect to get that 200k something runes from that fight.

Ekzykes a true dragon hero! Thanks, dude! =D

Makes me think of how Radahn continues to keep the stars in place and still continues to help his steed carry him with gravity magic. Even though they're both afflicted by the scarlet rot to the point of insanity, they are still determined to do what they set out to do. Absolute badassary.

Is that the name of the giant dragon? I tbought that was greyoll...? I really dont remember ezykes Edit: ahhh

Me too I I thought he was just chilling here

In that case, he wasn't doing a good job, since I literally got to the cathedral from behind and got the rotten breath a while ago and was busy looking for him to kill him, only to find out right now from this video that he was right under my nose the whole time lol.

Bestial-themed items involve a lot of Five Fingered imagery (Cinqueda, incants). And of course, Beastmen hail from Farman Azula…

It's more likely that Placidusax had 4 heads, as the Old Lord Talisman is crafted in his image when he was Lord of the Lands Between

@@nightlock3697 placidusax has 5 heads, count the stumps. honestly we have no idea if placidusax actually is the dragon lord just because of that difference, but it could just be a mistake that the developers, made

If I remember correctly, the 3 fingers (and the frenzied flame by extension) are explicitly something cast off from the world long ago.

@@fromsimp2pimp425 that makes hella sense when you consider the seemingly ancient version of the Elden Ring Rune or whatever it is that you can see in farum azula. It possesses much more than the current Elden Ring rune/insignia/whatever. So maybe the 3 fingers split from the "hand"/"five fingers", taking with it 3 of the heads of Placidusax, along with unknown runes of power? Also look at how intertwined Vyke (the assumed closest tarnished to becoming elden lord before we come along) is between his position as a knight loved by the dragons (he has special ancient dragon incantations), and his revision as a Frenzied Flame partaker (not sure what to call that). At this point I feel like we can definitely count on 2 DLC's at least: 1 - Miquella and Formless Mother (because obviously), and 2 - 3 fingers and Shabriri. And honestly, with how assumed DLC 1 revolves around blood/an outer god, and assumed dlc 2 revolves around madness/an outer god, I think it's also highly possible that an assumed dlc 3 could revolve around the god of rot. And then also maybe, since they had another completely separate game in production at the same time of elden ring, and with it being close to fruition, maybe that will be a DLC-type game that goes into more of the history of ancient times in the lands between? Or maybe somewhere in one of those things they talk about the different lands mentioned throughout the game? Regardless, I'm very excited to see what comes next in this series.

Lots of christian and biblical stuff in this game.

@@portalmanHUN honestly there is alot of everything in this games lore and environment

@@thisen1146 not just in this game bloodborne literally bloodborne is heavily based off of the God damn Catholic Church with Latin and everything.

It’s a great set of fairytales; Who can blame him?

@@khalilmason That "fairytales" part was intentional wasn't it.

same just kinda thought it was so big it needed multiple hearts

​@@hk-4733 that's what I thought

Weird....I killed greyoll, got the runes but the Drake's still exist

Me who just hit greyoll from behind finding out there were others:

I got the impression that Eleonora started off as a Dragon Communion practicioner, but eventually wanted to kill all types of beings for power, thus joining Mohg's band of murderers. She was trusted with guarding the Purifying Crystal Tear because it was least likely to be taken from her and used to mitigate Mohg's attacks.

@@nightscout9979 that could also be the case. However, if you look at her face under her helmet, she doesn't have the tattoo that Varre and other bloody fingers have, signifying that she is not a true supporter of Mohg

@@somedudewithakeyboard5388 The player doesn't get that tattoo either, so Eleonora might still be a Mohg supporter. She also might have only recently joined his group because it aligned with her interests of basically killing anyone she wanted for power.

@@nightscout9979 the player not getting it can easily be dismissed as its an rpg and some people put a lot of time into their character and wouldnt want it ruined with a tattoo for a quest they most likely would want to do. Its far more significant that she is the only npc associated with mohg who doesnt have the tattoo as with froms well known attention to the little details its very unlikely to be a mistake

@@UnholyWrath3277 Elden Ring lets players change their appearance with the mirror in Fia's room, so it's not like a player would have to defeat Rennala to undo a tattoo.

Yeah they give a spectacle that most other bosses can't compare to

Only thing I hate about them is how wonky the lock on for the farum azula type dragons are

But their attack patterns are kinda repetitive

Dragons are fine, but I hate ancient dragons. Something about their size makes them so hard to hit in melee. And they don't lower their heads much like normal dragons

@@aperson6562 jinwoo?

We could just use the Elden Ring to get rid of that side effect.

@@djrocksgaming6255 the player kills the elden beast which was the elden ring so i doubt it

@@blockeddefault4360 No. Once the Elden beast is defeated, the remainder of the Elden Ring once again fuses with Marika's body, once you repair her, you repair the ring, thus making the Tarnished the ruling god of the lands between. The Tarnished would definitely not turn into a Wyrm, they're simply too powerful to succumb to the Communion's effects.

@@Baelfyre How do you know if it even works that way? "Too powerful to succumb"? Did I embarrassingly miss a part of this video explaining that? Perhaps the main character wants to be a dragon?

@@mitchellzollinger1100 Yeah maybe the champion tarnished will use the elden ring to become a real dragon

Maybe that's because Dragonbarrow was nuked with Caelid by Malenia, and it affected these dragons.

Nahh the dragons are fine, the ones around greyroll look small and weak cause they're babies, greyroll herself is large and old so she's probably struggling to move

@@joshuaperry2426 I think at least Greyoll is affected with rot, as well as dragons other than these of Greyoll. Not as affected as Ekzykes but still.

@@fallen9997 it's quite possibly but nothing about her indicates that she's been afflicted (neither visually nor in her breath) you could count her inability to move as indication of being afflicted but that's not enough. We see several healthy dragons in caelid, ekzykes is the only one confirmed to be rotting away

@@joshuaperry2426 man, she actually looks like she's been afflicted with some disease, she's looking weak and dying (maybe old age, but I don't think so). Only disease we actually know is poison and Scarlet Rot (eventually madness and Death Blight).

If there's time travel shenanigans, best bet would be Lannseax in her human form.

@@bbbbKeJodddd Tbh I'd honestly like just a straight up talking dragon

@@bbbbKeJodddd I would love to see Leyndell and especially the dragon cult in their prime. With Lansseax guiding them all as a priestess

I'd just hope they add a full body dragon type transformation with its own attack move set and a few special abilities. Just something more then the eyes

@@HanzoHatt Imagine if using all dragon hearts gave you a full magma wyrm transformation skill lmao

That's a nice grape

Just like he says in the first 2 minutes of the video!

Notable too that he says ‘mad OR wish to be burned’, the phrasing implies he wouldn’t think you mad for wanting to be burned alive

@@ZomifiedHam well.considering the state of immortality everyone is stuck in, that's why all those nobles are.chillin out on the lake, hoping to.get incinerated out of existence

Si t

​@@vectorfox4782 that's Shabriri, not Yura

I love the Dragon spells as well. I am actually hoping they'll add more dragons to the DLC. I hope one has a poison breathe attack and it's a bit of a Longshot but one with blood flame breathe as well

@@aaronrowley1487 dude new dragon weapons

Nah bro, it was breath giving

Would love to explore dragon communion, dragon questlines where we can choose to help rather than harm them, and dragon npcs. I think it's silly not to, since it's revealed they can take human form and are intelligent beings.

Omg yes, age of the dragons!!!! Like, we had a fucking dungpie ending, why no age of the dragons?

You do steal the heart of multiple dragons

Perhaps it is a power thing where they show their love to those who can either best them but not kill them or are powerful enough to kill them

@@Joyful_Traitor that’s a fairly interesting theory and I think that makes a lot of sense. However I also think that another way to be loved by dragons is maybe protecting dragons. While we never see that in game (except maybe the beastmen) I think it makes sense.

I don't know the lore implications but in terms of gameplay, it's just so you can have the ability. You do a lot of things in game that, lore wise, you shouldn't be able to do. At the very least there would be grave consequences for those actions.

I think its meant to be metaphorical rather than literal. From what we know of the Dragon Cult, Lansseax, and possibly other dragons, played an active role in its operation. So to say you were loved by dragons might be their way of saying that you'd earned enough of their favor to be taught or entrusted with their teachings.

Cant be greater will as the dragons outer god is explicity said to have been forced to flee and placidusax awaits its return

@@UnholyWrath3277 His fleeing god is a vessel god like Marika, not a celestial entity like GW. (Yeah in JP clearly use separated words for these) in 1.00 confirmed that Farum Azula is GW’s

​@@UnholyWrath3277 it is though, their lightning is red because it's tinted with red gold like a lot of the old weapons, the dragon flesh you can see under the stone scales is gold, and most importantly you can find the elden ring symbol from when the dragons ruled in faram azula

This is the ridiculous issue of them giving dragons human forms.

@@OWlsfordshire It's only a ridiculous issue if we choose to think of it that way. Far as I can tell, there's no lore that really hints at a deeper connection. It very well could have been a case of her just favoring him and nothing more.

@@OWlsfordshire Dragons in most mythologies were capable of shape shifting, and most fantasy universes also give them that ability. Take for example the Golden Dragons of the Witcher universe who are fully capable of claiming a human form. Even in D&D the oldest and most powerful dragons can shape shift into humans. It's not ridiculous, it's a unique take on the Dragons.

Thank you, you're too kind! =D And don't worry, all of my scripts make it to the pile of Lore To Sleep Videos I have planned! =)

Definitely not the worst fate but still an unfortunate one.

If you retain your human wits then maybe it aint so bad but the problem is you lose it all. Youre stuck in a giant lizard thing and cant escape the eternal torment and hunger, not remembering your formerself

He had four heads as seen in the old lord talisman

@@epicterrariagamer7919 what of his third stump? Fitting for a 5th head, unless...

@@calebgraham3334 ayo calm down

He never served the greater will nor would he have had its grace. Its explicitly stated that the dragons outer god was forced to flee and has not returned. The greater will was not forced to flee it abandoned the world to punish marika which wouldve came a long time after the dragons failed

@@UnholyWrath3277 the dragons worshipped the greater will, its explicitly obvious because they had an Elden lord and the Elden Ring.

=D

You and me both! xD

Absolutely!

Yeah I like the idea that intelligent life is connected in some way to both the greater will and the frenzied falme as the two and three fingers together would make a full hand. And its said that five fingers on a hand symbolize intelligence so the idea that maybe placidusax once ruled for two outer gods is an incredibly cool idea

Would be dope - the lore is there and it would be cool to explore it further, with a unique ending(s).

@@alexanderjohnson2304 maybe a Tarnished that gained the favor of Placidusax? A Radagon and Elden Beast relationship?

@@crazyfriend2388 Or maybe an ending granted by doing a hypothetical Lansseax quest line? We already know she got along well with humans, so maybe she and the tarnished could become the new storm lords and get rid of the two fingers?

You're too kind! =D

Thank you! Me too! =D

That was an April Fools joke lmao

Bro, the "Age Absolute" ending was an April Fool's joke

You're too kind! =)

It's not Ranni, but the Dark Moon that majes her attack us i think. When you kill Rennala in the second faze, her look-alike speaks as if it's her daugther that attacks, and it can summon a "sworn dragon" as her figther. I thinks it's the Dark Moon, or maybe the Bright Moon that attempts to get rid of us. Maybe the same Moon affect the glintstone infested dragons?

Yeah, it always felt like Ranni sent Adula to die for no reason, like some twisted fantasy of a knight fighting a dragon to reach a princess.

totally not, placidusax always inhabited the storm beyond time, so its not possible to find him in another time period outside farum azula, maliketh presumably moved quite a lot,

@@Necrotaku999 you find the placidusax from your time in the wall lifeless as can be seen from the great bridge before maliketh. Time shenanigans leave the door open to any number of possibilities. While i dont believe the above theory myself it certainly cant be dismissed anymore then most
