What if godefroy is just a silly guy

i really hope the dlc just randomly has a green haired clone of malenia without her rot goddess form called some shit like "Molly, blade of Mike"

I’m scared to watch, I fear I may become Godefroy-pilled

When you talk to Gideon after burning the Erdtree he says: "The pursuit of knowledge is without end, for knowledge is never a thing complete. Perhaps the same could be said about guidance. Who's to say whether we'll remain who we are, once the fight is finished?" I think this fits nicely with the idea of Destined Death being the person you're destined to be

One thing that always stood out to me is how the Marika/Radagon revelation impacts the Goldmask quest. When we encounter Goldmask at Leyndell he has run into a block on his mission to 'fix' the flaws of the Golden Order, whatever that entails, as according to Corhyn he has become obsessed with Radagon and in order to continue on his quest we must inform him that Marika and Radagon are the same being. What I took this to mean is that the nature of Marika and Radagon's existence, and by extension the other examples of dual/multi identities seen throughout the game, are somehow central to the nature of the Golden Order itself. Why else would that in particular be the one thing that Goldmask needs in order to make the Mending Rune of Perfect Order?

You've done irreparable damage to what cohesion existed for my understanding of the lore. Delete Godefroy

Can’t wait to get to the DLC and fight Richard, Lord of Blasphemy.

Godefroy’s existence implies an event in which George R.R Martin cries as he writes 17 additional pages of lore because Miyazaki showed up that afternoon saying “fuck you im adding another Godrick to the game”

I was hypnotized by the missed parries against radagon and didn’t listen to anything, 10/10 video

It's so funny that Godefroy is trivial to explain from a meta perspective (repeat boss, something that elden ring does constantly), but in-canon he's a fucking anomaly that upends reality as we know it.

Godefroy obviously was the most powerful being in elden ring until that knight came along and defeated him. And that knight went on to become the soilder of God Rick

Godefroy is the key to everything in Elden Ring. All secrets and lore run through him. With Godefroy all things are possible!

"Stand proud Malenia, you are strong." -GOATfroy

blue smelter godrick

I think godefroy was godricks twin brother but he was too freaky and got banished to an everjail

I love that you basically used Godefroy as a tool to express your complex idea on what destined death could actually signify.

I came here to know more about why Godefroy even existed and to hear people rant about how his existence ruined everything it touched, I didn't expect a full-fledged theory about the concept of death

We all know the dlc is really going to be about Fodgroy the Grafted.

DLC will introduce Godefraud The Limbless.

If you can make a 45 minute lore video for someone with 0 lore. I’m all in

Horrible thumbnail, love it

Holy shit he cookin The whole “light is time” thing is a concept in real world physics btw, it’s basically one way of looking at relativity

Godefroy sisters, we literally cant stop winning.

only the strongest lore masters can bring forth the schizoest of theories

What if the real Godefroy was the friends we made along the way

I always thought that godefroy was just Godrick’s father and son of Godwyn, which is why Godrick has the “the golden” title, which is shared by Godwyn, this also explains why Godrick’s demigod blood is so tainted because he’s so far from the original lineage, thats why he’s more like a distant relative to marika than a actual Demi god Furthermore, the walking Mausoleums have the corpses of dead Demi gods, also Vyke killed two Demi gods and got two great runes, showing there were more “distant cousin” like Demi gods that weren’t important, similar to Godrick

Golden Godfrey is a projection being formed by margott. As you can see margotts golden weapons are the same color as goldfrey. He projects him in an attempt to hold the tarnished off

One of the most sophisticated lore videos I’ve seen. I love how you use Godefroy as an inroad into so many different lines of inquiry until the scope of your question matches that of the game as a whole.

Godefroy is obv Godrick’s mimic tear

What if Godefroy is a mimic tear? Visually he looks a lot like how your own mimic tear replicates you , and it would explain why he’s an exact 1:1 clone of Godrick but with more health. It’s a loose connection, but Godrick is mentioned in the “mimic’s veil” item and that seems pretty deliberate. I haven’t done enough research, but it could be some experiment or test with the mimic tear that was imprisoned because they were unwilling or unable to kill it because of its ties to a demigod

😡😡

Please delete this. There's no evidence of this character in the game. It's all mods.

Can’t wait to fight rahdaniel in the dlc

Godefroy would have beaten Malenia if he were at Stormveil instead of Godrick.

I haven't watched tje video yet but i am absolutely 100% certain that there is NOT 40 minutes of lore on fucking godefroy in the game

FromSoftware spent so much time, money, and technical prowess on simply the sheer number of bones needed to animate Godrick, fighting him once simply wasn't enough. So, while Godrick is the "runt of litter" and the least of the demi-gods, he is a technical marvel.

Godefroy isn't real, he can't hurt me

I think you've got a point about the game showing different "identify aspects". In our culture we often think of a person as being composed of 2 things: a body and a soul. We even have stories about the soul leaving the body and going on adventures and stuff. But this is a completely culture-bound understand of existence. It seems like in The Lands Between each person is composed of multiple different aspects, and these different aspects can separate from the host and do their own thing for a while. We see in-game that Dunge Eater's 'red summon' knows things that the real Dung Eater doesn't. Vyke seems to have split off the part of him that is consumed by the Flame of Frenzy. Mohg seems to have taken part of himself and is using it to guard that Church. Morgott has done the same thing; twice. This is also why Sellen can still speak to us after we take her "soul": we've taken the largest part of her, but a fragment of her remains trapped in the body. So "identity aspects" feels like a good description.

By the title? Has to be a shitpost. By video quality? Vaati’s second channel

It's actually quite simple. Godefroy is not related to any of the demigods. He was a General in Godrick's army that used a mimic vail to copy Godrick's look and fighting style in combat. This served two purposes. It kept Godrick away from the battlefield to protect him from harm, while the soldiers would see Godrick fighting along the side of them, increasing their loyalty and respect for their leader. When Godefroy was eventually defeated, the rus was over. Godefroy was locked away and Godrick's men were scattered in the wind. Godrick himself didn't have the bravery or manpower to travel into Altus Plateau to save him. There is no lore or evidence to back this up, it just makes more sense in my head.

Walking the path Vaati dared not tread.

That ending is mindblowing by the way! It would match the idea of a natural cycle being disrupted out of a fear of death which in turn curses life which is basically Dark Souls.

What if i just ate a bunch of explosives and microwaved myself. What then. What are the lore implications of that

Gonna be real, fully outside of shitposting, in lore there were a lot more demigods than just the ones with great runes. The walking mausoleums are actually demigods who lost their souls in one way or another, and search for the souls of great foes to replace them

My two cents is that Elden ring is an attempt to replicate a quality of real world mythology that rarely if ever gets adapted, that being the plasticity of the identity of gods. In the real world myths are made up so the names and characteristics of gods are determined by whoever is telling the story at the time. If two versions of a myth exist than a modern author adapting typically picks one or the other or tries to merge them into one story. I think Elden ring is an attempt at a story where two mutually exclusive versions of characters and events are somehow paradoxically true. I’m not sure if any of this made sense. I might elaborate if someone leaves a comment asking me to.

Radagon is Marika Miquella is St. Trina Godfrey is Hoarah Loux And Elden Ring is Dark Souls.

In an interview with Miyazaki, someone asked a question about Godefroy. Miyazaki said quote, “I don’t want to talk about him.” And he became visibly upset at the mere mention. Odd…

Godefroy was just made so Godrick doesnt get any credit for the idea of grafting, its the final kick of his corpse, since Gostoc couldnt do enough damage.

Godrick is never said to be the child of Marika, he’s only ever mentioned to be a descendant of the Golden Lineage. Enia even refers to him as having a “distant relation” and his “divine blood sorely diluted”

While I understand that the Three Sisters is a minor point in the video, I always kinda thought that the towers are the sisters and it’s just a poetic name of this particular architectural ensemble

What if Godrick is just a head grafted onto Godefroy’s body?

Imo godefroy is in fact just a mimic godrick made because he was too scared to actually go attack the capital

Vaati been real quiet since this dropped...

I'm convinced our roundtable is the past. Its the only time the two fingers are alive and "speaking".

So from what I've come to understand the evergaols are largely meant to be inescapable (except for Blaidd for unkown reasons) so maybe thats why the sky inside them is pitch black. The stars determine fate, and once you are in the evergaol you no longer have a fate, you're just stuck there, forever.

Fuck it, Godefroy was a mimic tear that took Godrick's form and got trapped in an Evergaol

My headcannon is that Godrick is not only a weakly coward, but also extremely unoriginal

This is the lie that Shabriri spread across the land. That Godefroy is real and matters. Everyone believed in it so hard that it manifested into a phantom of faux reality. Something that doesn't exist... existing, truly a paradox, one might said even say Chaotic...

The idea of death being "the person you're destined to become" seems to fit nicely with the moment from the recent story trailer for the DLC where the narrator states that Miquella abandoned everything... even his *fate*, with an image of St. Trina falling/being stripped away or discarded(?)

I hope there's gonna be an "Elder Beast" gaol which contains a phantom Elden Beast in the DLC

Godrick the Grafted already represents a significant challenge to interpret. He is a distant descendant of the Golden Lineage. If he is a distant descendant, then where are all the intermediate descendants between him and Godwyn? These games are frequently pretty flexible with the way they play with the concept of time. Elden Ring broadly deals with the concept of “claim to power”, with a variety of characters having a variety of justifications for their particular “claim to power”. Miquella’s claim is his charisma, his leadership, his influence, his perceived virtue. Radahn’s is his might, his martial prowess. So on and so forth. Godrick’s is that he is related to people who have power. He serves the themes of the game by serving as an example of a “weak” claim to power. Heritage alone is not enough; someone who seeks to claim power must already have power in some form themselves. And that’s why he resorts to grafting. This is a necessary point for the game to make in order to establish its basic premise, but, in a more “traditional” form of storytelling, would also necessitate the manufacture of an entire line of descendants leading from Godwyn to Godrick in order for it to “make sense” in the minds of the audience. To this end, Godefroy doesn’t really contradict existing lore any more than Godrick does; he’s just an intermediate ancestor between Godrick and Godwyn (assuming Godwyn IS Godrick’s closest relative) I’m genuinely kind of surprised that I see people really confused by Godefroy and not by Godrick. The existence of Godrick is just as confusing as Godefroy if you think about it.

"I'm Melanie, Blade of Michaela."

It would be absolutely hilarious if the DLC comes out and Godefroy is a cornerstone of its connection to the lore.

Dud acts confused for 40 minutes then literally explains the deepest meaning in elden ring

"Well, they may be a lot of repeated boss fights, but at least it does make sense with the lore as we might expect multiple of them or they are an illusion, bec-" Godefroy from fucking nowhere "Check this out"

Godfrey was born as Hoarah Loux. He was a famous warlord of time past and when he became Marikas consort, he donned a new, more benevolent outwards appearance to function more in line with his new role as Elden Lord. He wears Serosh on his back to keep himself in line. Serosh is constantly biting Godfrey, quelling any of his bloodlust from coming back. When you best him, he kills Serosh and lets his old self loose.

I love how we've talked about everything BUT Godefroy in this video

*Dark Phantom Ratatoskr has invaded*

That's got to be one of my favorite thumbnails I've seen on KZfaq.

Forget which item elaborates on this, but the reason Godfrey attached Serosh (his beast regent) to his back was to quell his urge to just murder everyone which was unfitting for a lord. Before he was Godfrey, he was just some random wildman named Horah Loux, so when he rips Serosh off of him, he's becoming one with his bestial nature again.

I think I got scarlet brainrot while watching this

My schizophrenia leveled up

Oh no the 40 minutes Godefroy video is real. He wasn't joking.

A small misconception about the morgott thrones, the thrones being displayed are only the thrones of traitors towards the golden order, more specifically people who no longer follow the golden order. Mohg and Godwyns thrones are not shown due to the fact that Godwyn died as a respected and true ally to the golden order and that mohg by being treated as an omen and not royalty never had anything owed to the golden order, including his loyalty. What must've occurred is that Godefroy while being imprisoned either was too small a piece to be considered a traitor (either from his strength or great rune capacity) or simply was not a traitor to the golden order.

now that is a thumbnail

I forgot this was about Godefroy like 5 times

"does that mean that shards of the ring could be extracted before the ring was shattered?" - yes. Marika extracted the rune of death from the ring before it was shattered.

Ok, Now make a vid on Goondrick the Edgelord

Its like that space ghost coast to coast episode where its like "Maybe its uh a different Ant?" And then space ghost goes "No, no, ITS HIS TWIN BROTHER!"

I wonder if at fromsoft they were wondering what to put in this ever jail and some guy just said put godrick but give him a stupid name and everybody was like yeah that’s pretty funny.

i had always assumed that godefroy exists to further showcase how the practice of grafting has been going on for generations passed down the golden lineage and that its always been reviled (which is why godefroy is in prison). they decided to show a member of the golden lineage imprisoned for this practice, reused godricks model for convenience, and didnt think much of it after that

Imagine if the evergaols were designed like the rift shield-boosting focus so that those trapped inside could never sleep or go mad. They are doomed to eternally live out every minute of their confinement completely sane and lucid- WAIT!!!! THAT'S WHY VYKE NO LONGER HAS MADNESS! Getting trapped in the evergaol cured him of madness! But when he invades outside, he has the frenzied flame again! The gaol even has the blue-purple tint of the clarifying horn charm, which boosts resistance to sleep and madness. That and the rift shield-which also boosts focus-bares a symbol that's identical to the blue rift inside the evergaols. And it's the prisoner class that starts with that shield. Oh my God... it all makes sense now.

I think I've mentioned this before, but the Golden Lineage is itself kind of a mess - why does only Godwyn have this long line of descent, while no other demigod has children (save maybe Malenia, if her weird clones count)? Why does Godrick, weak as he is, hold demigod status despite being such a distant descendant? What happened to all the children between Godwyn and Godrick? Are they the soulless demigods entombed in the Wandering Mausoleums? Were they killed on the Night of the Black Knives after Godwyn (Ranni talks about demigodS, plural, falling, STARTING with Godwyn...)?

"Guys Elden Ring lore is Peak!" Elden ring lore:

Maybe Godefroy is the friends we made along the way

do you smell it my fellow Dark Souls lorenerds? yeees thats right... *TIME IS CONVOLUTED IN THESE LANDS*

If the Elden Ring represents the very laws of reality, I think it's pretty reasonable to suggest that the literal shattering and reforming of those laws would fracture reality. We also know that the Elden Ring was once in a different form, but that seems to have been extricated from the Lands Between, both as a place and as a time. It's just as possible that other forms of the Elden Ring existed in different times, and it's possible that a rune existed at that time that regulated identity, and that that rune has been lost. But, this is incredibly speculative, of course.

How did i not know of this video sooner. Godefroy is literally my favorite character purely because of how funny it is seeing godrick has an identical to him relative with a funnier name

What a cool character, i feel like it would be great to see one Starscourge Randy, Melanie blade of Mack, Mug the lord of blood, Marge the Omen King, and Remy Queen Of The Moon !

The division of the Hand into fingers as a mistake in regards to personality reminds me of a Classic Star Trek Episode. Kirk:2=? Through a Transporter accident, Captain Kirk gets split. One part being all of his „good“ attributes, one has all of his „bad“. Even though only one part is actively doing harm, the „good“ part isn’t actually functional either. While EvilKirk is running around the ship, trying to force himself onto subordinates & scheming to get control over the ship, GoodKirk is stagnant, indecisive, meek & has to rely on Spock for making decisions. If Spock would not be there to push him, he would just let EvilKirk destroy him. Only through accepting those aspects of him, that they are part of what drives him & makes him a good captain, he is able to reunite. It’s similar to the fingers. Two-Fingers-unmoving, in an „alive“ state yet rotting. Needing to convene forever with the greater will, which would take so much time, anyone who’d factor into its equation might just give up & leave, the situation changing drastically. It’s to slow. The land under their guidance in a perpetuate state of stagnant life. It seems to need Marika & an Eldenlord bc it itself can’t make day to day decisions, like Spock was to GoodKirk, & big ones need great effort. Frenzied Flame/3-Fingers actually do stuff, they have a goal (utter destruction) & are quick to react in getting into contact with tarnished that show promise in becoming eldenlords, so they can manipulate them into getting touched by the 3 fingers instead of burning the maiden. Also they are the part with the thumb, the most useful digit. They can actually grasp stuff. Similar to Kirk, reuniting the fingers would maybe fix a lot of the extremes & weirdnesses, bc there would be a balance of Life & Death, beauty & ugliness in the world & things could actually move forward instead of being stagnant or destroyed.

I didn’t understand wtf you were going on about, however my frenzied flamed mind liked hearing elden ring character names . Great vid

Looking forward to the dlc to include the evergaol boss melanie blade of Michael

I'm baffled no one ever seems to think that Godefroy might be Godrick's twin. They're identical, and the game is chock full of twins. Regarding the Great Rune, I think it's fair to assume that Godrick's Rune should have been Godwyn's, since it's the Anchor Rune, and that Godrick only got it due to his ancestor's death. Thus, Godefroy doesn't have a Rune because no Rune was available: only Marika's direct offspring got one.

How to fix godefroy: Just change his model in something else

I think to use your alchemy interpretation. After godrick’s betrayal and capture. Part of him was divested and imprisoned. The part of him that was part of the “golden lineage”. Godefroy translates to “god peace” or “good peace”. As if Marika divested him of his godhood, and perhaps any internal peace he may have had. It is interchangeable with Godfrey. That is why he is trying so desperately to be among the good graces of the golden order. His lineage was literally taken from him as punishment, and has taken on a life of its own. Very similar to Millicents relationship to Malenia. The part of her that was divested from her when she could not allow her self to be defeated. She divested herself of her resolve. That’s why Millicent does not give in and let’s her self die as she is, instead of being changed into something she is not.

As a boss fight, Godefroy is excellent game design, he lets you see how much you've developed since the Godrick fight. As a story element, NO NO NO NO NO.

Here’s my take Just as morgott can, so can godrick create a clone of himself. But since he’s such a pu- dishonorable fighter, he uses his clone to siege leyndell for him. the clone is then locked in the evergaol by kristoff, but the only thing that doesn’t add up is the clone continuing to exist after the death of godrick (it was tested that after killing morgott before margit, margit automatically dies) which the only plausible explanation for my theory being that the clone continues to exist due to being severed from both the erdtree and the real soul of godrick, only existing as a hollow husk that immediately engages in combat with anything that enters its evergaol
