Elden Ring - Finlay Carrying Malenia All the Way Back to the Haligtree

Ойындар

"Finlay was one of the few survivors of the Battle of Aeonia, who in an unimaginable act of heroism carried the slumbering demigod Malenia all the way back to the Haligtree. She managed the feat alone, fending off all manner of foes along the way"

    on the map, where you fight Radahn (the dunes, where also malenia fought radahn), there is multiple boats with people painted on the shore, maybe they invaded/arrived through sea. Malenia's rune tower and the haligtree are also islands, idk maybe they had boats.

    Keep in mind that she made this journey on foot through five entire regions, plus the capital in the midst of war, with a giant target on her back in the form of Malenia and her Great Rune. Finlay was wearing heavy armor, carrying and using her weapons, and carrying Malenia, who as a demigod is already quite large and potentially heavy, and she also happens to have two limbs made of solid fucking gold. Finlay should be reknown as the bravest, and maybe even the strongest knight in all of Fromsoft history

    Finlay has to be one of the most heroic characters in the game Edit: This comment blew up I guess, because apparently extremely controversial. In the original comment, I was saying finlay was heroic for having the dedication to carry malenia so far. I think that is what this video is demonstrating in the first place. I wasn't saying malenia was a great person, she definately isn't. Malenia most likely didn't mean to nuke caelid, especially not going into the fight with radahn, it was a last card she could pull out to "win". I think you guys are overthinking this, malenia DID nuke caelid, but that has nothing to do with the original idea and I did not consider this when I said malenia wasn't a horrible person. Compared to what other characters in this universe have done or would have done, malenia is defo not the worst (ei; dung eater, marika, ranni, godrick, shabriri, etc.)

    Honestly, Finlay’s story could be made into a whole movie or even TV show. The amount of feats on display from her is… kind of insane. She chose willingly to fight alongside Malenia despite Malenia’s scarlet rot guaranteeing her death via magical cancer. She fought in the battle against Radahn, one of the most brutal conflicts of the Shattering, and *survived*. She then survived the Scarlet Bloom that nuked all of Caelid and effectively killed a demigod (I know he isn’t technically dead, but Radahn is long gone). She then retrieved Malenia from the Scarlet Bloom, whose rot was likely leaking profusely due to the loss of the Unalloyed Needle, and did so while likely exhausted from fighting in a fucking massive battle. Then she made her way all the way back to the fucking *Haligtree* while carrying the radioactive remnant of a magical nuclear bomb, which is also a person larger than her with limbs made of gold (one of the heaviest metals), who is also one of seven individuals in the *world* who possesses a Great Rune, which is THE most sought after thing by anyone in the Lands Between. She carried this person through FOUR REGIONS of hostile enemy territory; first a rocky landscape right past the castle of someone who hated Malenia with every ounce of his pathetic being, second a region that is literally a giant muddy swamp lake that’s almost always being rained on and was controlled by the Cuckoo, then she either fought her way through the Cuckoo’s line of defense to reach Altus through the lift OR she climbed the ruin strewn precipice, both insanely impressive feats, then she had to make her way through Altus and either battled her way through ducking Leyndell to reach the Rold lift OR she just fucking climbed an absolutely gargantuan cliffside to the top. And then she had to carry Malenia the rest of the way through the consecrated snowfield, a land of constant, biting blizzard winds and snow, before finally reaching Ordina and no doubt being rescued by the Albinaurics. And the whole way, she fought off anyone who tried to kill or capture Malenia **SOLO**. What a fucking *beast*. Like, seriously, I know people joke that Malenia and Finlay were lesbian lovers, but I honestly think that there must have been *something* there, because that kind of devotion is literally fanatical otherwise, and probably still is. I’m willing to bet Finlay must have had some kind of feelings towards her at least, because holy fuck girl, you don’t do that shit for your boss on a Wednesday, you do that for the love of your life.

    @@I-like-cows Radahn froze the stars in place for shits and giggles, only one being of actual threat to Sellia/Lands Between. Radahn couldn't suppress the rot either lol his great rune is the only thing that kept him alive. Lore never states when Miquella was taken or why Malenia set out to fight during the shattering so that point is just you making assumptions to bring down Malenia like a cringe lord. "perfect candidate for elden lord" her brother began a new order of unalloyed gold, why would she let anyone rise to power when the golden order was finally destabilized?....your perception of the lore seems to be total shit so far. In lore, she matched Radahn to a stalemate with nothing, a few prosthetics, her fucking great rune was even negated and twisted by the rot. Then she finally opted to let the rot out. At that, her great rune was supposed to be the most "sacred of them all", it couldn't even withstand the rot god....the fact that you try to bring down a triple amputee who matched the greatest demigod (before they fought) with nothing but a prosthetic sword is just as bad as the fanboys who pretend she is the greatest thing ever created.

    The only problem here is that Malenia didn't fall on Radahn's battlefield. She blossomed in the middle of the Aeonia Swamp, where Commander O'Neil resides. That would be where Finlay dragged her from. Of course, that makes Finlay's feat immeasurably more badass. Not for any reasons related to distance, but because as a Cleanrot Knight, Finlay would have already been suffering from the Scarlet Rot's effects, and the Rot only gets stronger the closer you are in proximity to it. Which means that the entire time she was getting Malenia on her back, Finlay was getting blasted with point-blank wave after wave of the Rot as it destroyed Caelid. The fact that it didn't escape Caelid means that the Rot must have sealed itself back up inside Malenia before she left, but the fact remains that Finlay basically got nuked, picked up the leaking nuclear bomb while already suffering from radiation poisoning, put it on her back, and then carried it across not one but three active warzones while fully armored and actively fighting the entire way with zero backup and probably not stopping all that often to rest. It's kinda sad we don't learn more about her, or how she was rewarded. We only learn that she was kept within Elphael after she died, honored and revered, and to be honest, she should be far more major a character. One can only imagine how Miquella would have rewarded her, had he the opportunity.

Besides, youd have a massive Canon that you cant use (actually, you can just shoot malenia to the haligtree with it, lol) alongside 3 other weapons + Armor.

    @morgenrotritter-8608 The jar is just to have something on the back as representative of Melenia. Alternatively, you could have a greatshield of any kind, but unless you know an Elden Ring chest armor with a body sized backpack that looks similar to cleanrot armor, I think sticking to 1 weapon slot is fair for the run/walk, especially if we assume (for suspension of disbelief) that finlay had to also carry the prosthetics with the other hand.

    For those wondering, considering all the turns, that's somewhere between 16 to 24 kilometers of walk (or roughly a half-marathon), enduring hardships, the tiredness of battle, the weight of a very big person on your shoulders, with probably a lot of people hunting you (Godrick would almost certainly be willing to send forces to try and capture Malenia after she humiliated him in her campaign towards Caelid, which was probably just a few days before her battle with Radahn, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mohg sent some of extremely powerful blood knights and bloody fingers to prevent her from ever retrieving Miquella).
