The wings of the dragonkin soldiers reminds me of the ones that the deathbirds have. Also, their affinity to cold is a kind of connection to ghostflame, so it could be that the dragonkin were supposed to achieve wings with this affinity that the Nox had with Deathbirds and Ghostflame

I probably could've went into alot more detail about placidusax but he may get his own video with all the theories surrounding time wizard dragon lord

I have this personal theory that the dragonkin soldiers were made using trolls. The way that they appear ingame and the fact that both are missing their stomach which could of been the result of Marika sealing the fire giant's outer God. I also think that's what cursed Marika with the dual persona of Radagon since it said that he hated his red hair.

I liked the ice dragon battle. It was one of the highlights of the Snowfield. Definitely got a sense of dread when that all-enveloping mist rolled in.

There's alot of theories about the dragons that I think I might cover in a separate video because there's several good ones that one could make a pretty solid case for and it seems like an interesting discussion topic

You never fail to make me or my wife absolutely die laughing while being informative and educational, like an insanely stoned Mr Rogers

Is there a video where you explain the whole “Radagon is an alchemy experiment” thing? Really curious about that

Concerning the ancient dragons, after defeating Maliketh at the coliseum one finds a statuary depicting a young woman ringed playfully by three wolves. It’s a significant scene, repeated on loading screens in-game. Many have speculated this is Marika and I think the idea sound. Before she became a vessel for the elden ring, Marika was an empyrean, the daughter of a god and lord. The first true Elden Lord was Placidusax and this statuary is located in Farum Azula, the dragonlord’s tower in the sky. Above the statuary is a carved depiction of an elden ring. This is Placidusax’s and it contains more great runes than the one we’re familiar with. Consider for a moment the correlation between great runes and demigods. A female god acts as a vessel for these runes, carrying them inside and for every great rune she births a demi-god. With this in mind, the dragonlord’s extensive elden ring implies Marika had numerous maternal siblings. They needn’t have had the same father. A god can have more lords than one, as Marika did. Most likely, they came in batches, from different consort fathers of which Placidusax was the last. Apart from him, there are three ancient dragons in the game - Gransax, Fortisax and Leansax - and it’s possible they’re his children with Marika’s mother. If so, they’re distantly related to Marika’s children, giving Godrick’s boss fight soliloquy an authentic twist.

Very good video Madman. That point about Rykard and Aldia's similarities was unexpected XD. They both sure do love torture dungeons hey?

Love these lore vids man. Maybe one day u could do a lore vid on enemies with little lore like the revenants, ulcerated tree spirits or worm faces etc

“But everything changed when the fire giants attacked “

The lore got you a like, the huge rip at the end earned you a sub lol.

Is that the ME2 galaxy music? One of the best games I've ever played.

Really wish there were more ice dragons, lorewise, there really isn't much info about them and I've always wondered how they got to the mountaintops from the very beginning

“ “Dragons” as Christopher Walken would put it “ 😂😂😂😂😂

Ice dragons are pretty cool no pun intended

You knew dragon communion and the serpent religion was linked, just vibed it out a year ago, and now we got Messmer

Adula was probably protecting ranni against the same people that killed iji and blaidd

As much as I love your channel, I will say two things. The Dragonlord’s god was akin to what Marika is. We have demigods, gods, outer gods, unknown beings presented as gods, and then the Greater Will. Based upon the whole thing with Gods having Elden Lords. At any rate, the Greater Will does shift gears from the ancient dragons, but the GW was not this god said to have abandoned them. Another thing, I don’t believe it’s ever said Godfrey forced the Dragonlord into hiding. Their conflict with their god seemed more or less self contained, as the Greater Will would set its sights on Marika. Their conflict with the dragons happened after the creation of the Golden Order. Anyway - love the video 🙏🏼 the dragons of this game really shed light on the ancient history of the world

"Let's leave this Metalocalypse Deku Tree be and..." Boy, if I wasn't already subscribed...

no idea that Yura would help you if you died multiple times..... I died plenty my first time and dude was just like " turn back you maidenless dummy"

“But everything changed when the fire giants attack”

Nah, bro. Remember how Smaug in The Hobbit says "I am fire"? The name is Borealis the Freezing Fog because he *is* the freezing fog, which is infinitely more badass than "of the freezing fog," imo.

Reign of fire cast was so stacked lol

Rykard is my Family..... Can't wait to see the next one

looks like eyes in the sky of the lychdragon fight

Alright. Time to get ripped, watch while eating taco salad.

Gold bruh, the membranes are Gold. It's like that because they used to be the Chosen of the Crucible. It's also why the Elden Beast is dragon like in nature. Finally, the Elden Beast is the god Plasidusax is waiting for.

Amazing vid. I don’t think the greater will is the fleeing god it’s seems to me a cut above the rest especially in the Japanese , if you look at the terminology the only things referred to as god are outer gods and beings like queen Marika the eternal or an empyrean like the goddess of rot in English

Hey brother, just caught up on some of your videos. Love your hard work here! Keep it up

You’re good at this

Fucking Eustice would smack a dragon with me mallet

First...elden Lord that is! 11:12 marikas t*ts! I wish that was his in game title

1:05 Lmao until the fire giants attacked

Your outro reminded me to smoke. Thank you 😎

Lol was gunna ask for one of these - my guy you hoped to it before I could even act. At any rate, can’t wait to watch this.

I find it disappointing the Flying Dragon Greyll, guarding the bridge in Caelid, really doesn't have any lore.

You mention Aldia from DS2. I'm kind of sad that Scholar of the First Sin came out and had Aldia as a tree-head-cyclops monster with lame AoE attacks. Before SotFS came out a lot of people theorized that Aldia had become that ancient dragon and had stopped caring about scheming as he had attained a perfect form. Now in Dark Souls the trees and the dragons are connected and Aldia is some sort of tree-human hybrid and thus he sort of attained the same goal. I'm just disappointed as everybody was so heavy into theorycrafting in DS 2 and that was one of the coolest theories around. It's a similar disappointment when DS3 had the nameless king who is supposedly the son of Gwyn, when up until that point everyone was sure it was Solaire. He even had the same sword as that one statue. I guess I am describing the pain of wanting to be right and being proven wrong.

26:29 ahhh. Yu Gi Oh, from Blue Eyes White Dragon

Honored... the Godskin abnormal physiology, such as that of the tails of the nobles, the serpentine nature of the apostles and the few lesser features that take model alteration and cloth removal which i have seen only one video that got reported and taken down for, those all said to have been "inhuman physiology incorporated into ones flesh" similar to well the crucible incantations but instead of being fire and forget study, those of the godskins studied these traits relentlessly until they could fully incorporate them into their flesh... basically while we all wanted another dragon waifu (the only eligible one be Lanseax who is aiming to kill everyone who approaches her) the Godskins are not due to a god(desss)-dragon coupling as far as current lore has implied... I know as i did a Godskin run and none of the gear mentioned them being such, but also mentioned they incorporate inhuman physiology into their bodies to gain an edge over the gods they were hunting... also from the minor bits of lore the Gloam-eyed Queen is referenced as a daughter to marika so...

Probing Uranus.

Underrated channel. I see you're a star wars fan what are your thoughts on legends?

Praise the tree!

As always this video is pure speculation and a somewhat coherent attempt to string my various theories into a video

Good choice on the music. You might like Klaus Schulze's Kontinuum album, its got a really similar vibe

Late comment, but the description of vyke had me lose it lmao!

From 28:33 onwards it just keeps getting better

Love the background music at 10:00. Is it Uncharted Worlds or Distant Worlds from Mass Effect?

So honestly I'd fucking LOVE Christopher Walken to get a role in a From game, hed make a good patches-esque character, or a dying king or some shit.

Cool vid bro.😺

So is there any meaning in the Farum Greatbridge considering the shared name between Farum Azula?

Mass effect background music. For elden ring lore really.

Hii. Is that mass effect music in the background or am i just hearing things

Love your videos

You forgot about the Draconians

Do you plan on doing a video on Ralph Bakshi's Wizards in the future?

The lore of dragons is simple. I pound them while giving Godfrey a thumbs up.

the content you *bubbles* crave

What I want to know is why aren’t you taking fat rips anymore..

Outro: Lmaooooo

So dragons are firebenders

Fia is Fortissax

Woot woot!

Another great lore vid. Sucks we cant cut the dragon tales off tho...

ANDOR!!!

BLACK FIRE UPON US!! Metalapocaplse cds are best!

I usually really like your videos, but this one I feel like you, uh what's a good way to put this, "fill in the blanks" confidently a lot, and on stuff that seemingly has no evidence at all. And I disagree with your theories of Placudisax and his situation and role in history. But the video quality was much, much better than I have seen you have before, so that's good!

Teach, the first dragon shown in the vid… WHY THE FUCK WON’T HE DIE!?!

2:24 courage the cowardly dog lol?

Uggh, I hate that pronunciation of Placidudax. I bet you hated pronouncing dragon names in Skyrim 😂

👏👏👏👍

Not gonna lie Most Dragons have the same Attacks and Mechanics mostly just Elemental Changes it kinda sucked I wished they made each dragon more unique on how it engages you in combat really wished it was like that ): maybe in the DLC?

God that mass effect music is so amazing and peaceful

good info. just?drink some coffee my dude

Hello

🫤🫤🤨🤨🧐🧐😑🤔🤔🤔😱😱😨🤯🤯🫥😶‍🌫️🌚🌚🌝🌞 My face during this video.

First?

Nice, this is gonna be a cool one!
