The iron maidens also grab you with snakes. The woman in the iron maiden is holding a baby, swaddled in cloth, like the GEQ and her newborn godskin apostles. I think Messmer was born the same way as a godskin apostle. Through the amniotic sac. Like a godskin apostle/noble, Messmer seems to assimilate physiology foreign to him.

A small thing I noticed: In the intro of the game, when Marika is shown in her crucified pose with the dress swirl behind her, she is wearing what appears to be snake bracelets. In every other image or depiction of Marika, she's never shown with these outside of that one shot.

Since the trailer for the DLC was released, I had the belief that the woman in the painting is a pregnant Marika, before she was even considered an Empyrean. To me, the old man is probably her first husband (probably some noble man used by her too) and the biological father of Godwyn. I strongly believe that Godfrey is not the real father of Godwyn, and he could only bear Omen child like Mogh and Morgott with Marika, thus another untold reason why he was "discarded" after he was no longer useful to her.

And with Mesmers Flame, you said it could possibly be every kind of flame, which makes sense, because Mesmer is all sinfull archetypes in one.

The whole dlc has to do with Roman themes. The base game has a distinct lack of Roman attire and weapons.

I believe that land is wherever most of the Roman looking NPCs come from or share some relationship to. Elemer's armor also looks very Roman if you look past all the thorns. Shit Messmer looks like he's wearing Roman attire. ​ There is a video someone made explaining that elden ring is essentially Rome. If that is the case then where did all the Roman attire go?

Something I noticed but am not 100% sure of, the miquella ring design also resembles the design on the elevator floor of the divine towers.

Messmer also has a ring but on his other finger as opposed to the one we see body in the cocoon wearing. I doubt that has anything to do with anything but maybe worth looking into. Also, the position of the ring on Messmer's finger as well as the ring on the said body in the cocoon. On Messmer's hand, the ring is on his left middle finger but the ring on the body in the cocoon its on the right hand and the second to last finger from your pinky (don't know if this also considered a ring finger but hopefully you get what I mean). Looking it up, the ring on the middle finger means responsibility and individuality, power and like balance. And wearing a ring on the right ring finger can symbolize I think a connection to someone but in some cultures it can mean being engaged or marriage. So if the body in the cocoon is indeed Miquella' (don't know) that finger could mean like a kind of devotion of some sorts. Obviously the only other person that I can think of that Miquella is extremely devoted to of course is his sister Malenia. And Messmer's ring and where it's position is could possibly show his status in the realm of shadow as someone who is trying to balance certain things and shows he is responsible for something. What that something is well, it's either eliminating things that have been "stripped of the grace of gold," or something else completely. I get it if I am reaching I get it if I sound crazy but the sheer hype that I have for this particular game is actually insane so I wanted to just incorporate some of my thoughts and I hope this could sit well for some people and if it doesn't well I do apologize lol.

In the painting. It looks like there is a baby in his lap.

In regards to the speculation around the "new" martial arts weapon. In the examples that Zios compares, pretty sure both characters are wearing the exact same chest piece, with one of them being tailored to remove the necklace and cowl through Bok/Golden Needle. I've seen so much speculation about this weapon being something completely knew, but I haven't really seen anyone speculate that's it's just a new weapon in the fist category. One that doesn't have a cestus around the hand like the other fist weapons, while having a completely unique move set that incorporates kicks in it's basic attacks or Ash of War... I love this community and I love how much we speculate every morsel we get in trailers, but sometimes I think we overthink stuff and the answer is often straightforward. 😁

Maybe the „Mother“ this guy in the trailer is referring to isn’t even Marika but the Formless Mother ?

Arise and shine ye Tarnished!

Great video! To me it feels like Messmer is like an amalgation of all of the aspects. You mention the flame in this video, but I think we've also discussed his armor with an oddly Godskin-like look and his different eyes and snake imagery. Can't wait for the DLC's big reveal.

In regards to the corpse, maybe it is Messmer. If thats the case, then there may be a common theme between him, Ranni, and Melina. All 3 would be dead in body, with one eye closed. Maybe the closed eye symbolizes being "half asleep" in the same vein as death being the long sleep.

Interesting theory with Messmer being the body in the cocoon. Messmer has similar long fingers as the hand in the cocoon, and he is wearing a ring in the fight on the middle finger of his left hand. However, hand in the cocoon wears it on the right hand. Haven't been able to see which kind of ring it is he is wearing in the fight, though.

@sylvastreak

seems to be a signet ring of some sort, not the same shape as the ring on the corpse's finger. Still very interesting theory though.

The ring might be twigs hence the haligtree.

Maybe you could argue that the body in the cocoon was actually Messmer trying to come to the lands between from The Shadow Lands and Miquella sabotaged it and Mohg though he was bringing the coming of Miquella but actually it was Messmer

I’d say there is 100% something more to the painting not even a question in my mind there is more to the side.

Another thing to stare "hours" at is Messmer's bracer. It has a mark on it, I have been trying to match it up. They aren't just showing you that little flame from his hand. His ring likely has a seal on it but they have hid it. The old dude in the painting is "royalty," but it's possible something is not on the left side there. Good catch. Also, Messmer's flame when he throws it has a "rot" tinge to it at the end. It's not white or red, it's more like a peach color.

It's not a crest, it's a bag. At least from what I can tell. If you look closely in the clip where he kicks the knight, you can see the flap of it, seperating it from the rest of the bag. There's also some stuff hanging on the bag in the image, that isn't there in the video, from what I can tell. So I wonder if this is the weapons item afterall, or if it's just part of the armor. But the way the straps work in conjuction to the armor itself, it would surprise me if it really IS the weapon. I'm much more looking at the weird fog/mist/steam coming from the characters legs, and assume this, as a visual effect, may be what tells us they're using this weapon. The way it shapes almost like an extension to the foot while he's preparing his next kick during the video, and the way we don't see it fully dissipate afterwards leads me to believe this might be the actual weapon "indicator" or whatever. Edit: Also, forgot to mention, it looks like in both the image and the video the character is wearing the exact same armor set, just in the image without the hat, and the missing necklace and cloak probably being an altered version of the chest piece. But both still have the same design regardless. Look for example at the gloves, the boots and the sleeves of the chest piece. Maybe I'm wrong tho, who knows.

2:03 I just noticed that the knight has a MASSIVE twin blade I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talk about that considering all of the knight weapons very much are obtainable. Edit: 6:58 I believe we're holding the same weapon here as well looks pretty similar.

same. Just started prepping for the dlc in the game and watching some of the lore to be fully prepared.

The opening artwork of Elden Ring shows Mohg carrying Miquella after having torn open the cocoon in the Haligtree, so it's highly unlikely that someone else's body is in the Mohgwyn Palace cocoon. It's more likely that Mohg tried his own method of breaking the curse of Miquella's perpetual prepubescence, and the adult body in the Mohgwyn cocoon is the result of that. That's a great spot with the Rykard paintings though! Regarding other imagery that could be major, the "basin" aligned with the Erdtree's sap probably warrants a video. The structure seems like it's meant to capture the sap being forced out of the tree, but it appears to only have two sides rather than being a proper bowl. Even though this shape should be causing the sap to easily spill out of it, we never see where the sap goes once it has reached this "basin." The sap doesn't spill in front of the structure, and the trailer shots carefully conceal if the sap is falling behind the structure, since the vertical slits never properly align with where the sap could be moving. If it's not actually a basin, what might the structure's actual purpose be? If it's meant to harness the Erdtree's sap in some form, it slightly reminds me of the Frenzied Flame "eye" atop the tower at the Frenzied Flame Village, as well as the general image of the sun shining above a tower with crown-like merlons on the Sun Realm Shield. Thanks for another neat video, Ziostorm.

Well it can't just be me scouring the Internet for crums of news and any lore pretty sure I'm going insane

Love when I get the notification that zio video just dropped!!!😊

the image on the right is not a belt, it has straps on both sides running up and around his neck.

my theory is that the Land of Shadow is a mirrored but twisted version of "banished" things from the Lands Between. Messmer being the banished body of Miquella, who has taken inheritance from a lot of the lesser outer gods (formless mother, fell god of giants, etc.) which leads to his flame having aspects of multiple outer god flames.I dont think it is destined death, as the only ones who have been able to take control of it were malikith and ranni, but instead potentially aspects of blackflame. we just akin it to destined death because the other influences make it look similar. (and maybe all the other flames are lesser offshoots of destined death, and when they blend together, they become similar in power)

I just love that you chose Mighty Mouse Demetrious Johnson as to show a hand to hand combat champion!!! Amazing!!! Respect

Weird theory, but if the ring of Miquella is indeed where we will enter the DLC, could Mohgwyn come out of the Land of Shadows as he comes up from the ground in the cutscene before his boss fight. I know it could just be him coming out from wherever or maybe perhaps where the Formless Mother is, but i still find it interesting that maybe Mohgwyn was in the Land of Shadow. Also maybe there is a link between Messmer and Mohgwyn having similar fires. My theory has always been that when Messmer says "Mother", he is not saying it to Marika, but rather the Formless Mother.

everything points to rykard and the dancers

I’ve always thought the cocoon arm was way too long for a child. My guess is it’s Messmer’s, as why would Miquellas arm grow massive once he’s in the cocoon? I don’t think Mohg had much to do with the size increase as nowhere else do we see the formless mother’s corruption increasing creatures sizes. Could it be possible that we are entering Messmer’s dream? Maybe Miquella convinced Messmer to enter the cocoon as penance for burning the Erdtree. Miquella fools and lies to everyone saying it’s him and then goes into Messmer’s dream to right some wrong where he won’t be disturbed, protected by his sister. This would allow for his haligtree to flourish while he was still at work. But unfortunately with malenia leaving to fight in caelid, he was left alone to be stolen, thus taking that life force from the tree. With Malenia returning without the needle, the tree rotted.

@Galamoth06

Why would something grow inside a cocoon? Because it's... in a cocoon. The point of a cocoon is to undergo a metamorphosis, to grow and change. Miquella was cursed with eternal youth, which he didn't want. Also, it's not just the arm that's large, the whole body is large because it's a reused version of Morgott's body after he's defeated. Since we only really see the arm, it's less obvious that it's a recycled asset. The Shadow Lands are almost certainly not a dream, since Miyazaki stated it's not a separate dimension or time period, but a real place that's been sealed or shrouded by Marika.

The belt may be the new leveling system item

1:58 The two armors look quite different in my opinion. The one on the left is wearing what looks like an outfit completely out of leather while the one on the right looks like it was made from fabric.

I've been saying this about the cocoon from the start. Looks like messemer and the ring was very snake like. Can't wait to find out what everything means I can barely keep it together

I have an idea. What if it’s not Miquella in the cocoon, but Messmer’s body? Miyazaki’s statement that the body in the cocoon is not Miquella but closely related to him suggests a significant connection between Miquella and whoever is inside the cocoon. Maybe this body is connected to Miquella's purpose? The cocoon could be a containing Mesmer's body. One strong hint for me is that the ring indeed resembling snakes and it would be symbolic representation of a connection to the Lands of Shadow and Messmer. It is possible that Miquella was not kidnapped against his will but agreed to collaborate with Mogh (or even used Mogh because Mogh somehow already had this cocoon with the Messmer's body). Together, they aimed to follow Messmer’s footsteps, implying that Miquella sought to accomplish something that Messmer had already achieved in the past. We might be following Miquella's steps because Miquella could not complete the journey. So our goal is to fulfill what Miquella and Messmer started.

if the one inside the cocoon isn't Miquella why would that person be inside there anyway?? Like, that cocoon was extracted by Mohg from the Halightree from the hole we can clearly see in Malenia's arena. Who could possibly be stuck in there if not Miquella?

It crossed my mind the other day about the coccoon , I think it is the child of Miquella and Mogh. Messmer. Look at the long dangling arms , same as the coccoon . Plus Mogh is speaking to Miquella as she is there but referring to their child a creation of both. That is also why he has the blood flame included in his powers

Cool thing to note: When we kill Morgott in Leyndell, we see his body. However, in both instances we kill Mohg, he always fades away, and we do not see his body. It is entirely possible Mohg will be in the DLC.

Ya, it's pretty much impossible to tell, but in that painting, standing next to the old guy on the other side is John Cena.

I really love the speculations:)

in 2:32 of the trailer, there is something similar as the painting you mentioned covered during Messmer grab Attack, the throne behind him suddenly gets Dark maybe about the statue behind him

The wide shot of the church at 8:09...purple flames in the hanging lamps and then the large candlestick thats fallen over on the right kinda looks like a bewitching branch. The motifs look almost like Raya Lucaria, but these other details are of course related to St. Trina. I wonder if there is some faction that is a combination of the two.

Something about the painting: it's possible that it's not as much "editing" as much as perhaps censoring something. One artist painting over another's work is something that has been practiced for a very long time. Maybe this could be a case of someone removing context by painting over certain details, or changing someone's portrait to make them more "attractive." Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it is just going to be an edit to hide a detail.

My favorite part of Elden ring is when miquella stood up and said “I am the Elden ring” and then Elden ringed all over the place. Literal chills

miquella and messmar arent the only ones who had a black aura that fades into cinders…. BELL BEARING HUNTER ALSO HAS A SIMILAR EFFECT

Everytime i see Messmer i think of Rykard

What I find interesting is that the old man is resting his hands on someone's head.

I have a theory that if you are frenzied you will enter the dlc as hostile to Miquella or Melina, thats why we have the option to remove it with the golden needle, that would make sense for the frenzy lord ending. Also, Miquella’s ring may simbolyze some kind of covenant between Miquella and Messmer.

To anyone interested in the PC ad, splurge for the "chosen" model if you can. The Ryzen 5500 is a rebranded 4000 CPU from the previous gen, and Intel GPUs have software issues still.

with the painting smudge I think that there might be another character on the left smudge, a big theory is that the old guy is marikas father and the character on the right is marika, i think it could be cool if the thing on the left if it turns out to be another character to be radagon, would make some sort of sense if they where siblings or smth and joined idk something outlandish like that, im just guessing but would be very cool to see

Maybe it's St Trina in the tree, who has a strong relation to Miquella in a similar fashion to Radagon and Marika; as we know they existed as 2 different individuals at one time.

"Every stone must be unturned" - Ziostorm

Are we just going to accept the fact that Mohgs plan to corrupt the body of Miquella just resulted in failure? I have a hard time believing that Miyazaki would write an entire Mohg/Miquella plot line just for the end result to be “the dynasty failed”. There has to be some sort of consequence from the blood fusion that Mohg was experimenting with. I’d like to see what those consequences are in the DLC. Does anybody have any ideas?

Perhaps there may be consequences. But as far as Mohg’s dynasty is concerned, it had a fitting end. Mohg’s robes even label mohg a madman who should be laughed at. Gideon even disrespects mohg. No one sees anything worthy in him, which makes it all the more fitting that his story ends just as it starts - as nothing, from nothing. With the context of the DLC, it’s now even more so fitting that the body Mohg is trying to defile, that which he receives no response from, is actually completely lifeless and soulless. Mohg is obsessed with something that doesn’t exist - the lifeless body that miquella left long ago

Mohg has a horn growing through his left eye and brain, and his final words begin with "I can see it, as clear as day..." when he's in an underground cavern looking up at a false night sky. Mohg may have only been used by the Formless Mother to ruin Miquella's Haligtree plan, and she proceeded to abandon him for the Dung Eater's Mending Rune plan. The Formless Mother seems quite sadistic and cruel.

The differences in the attire seen in the screenshots could very well be due to alterations...

I'm going to hug that shadow tree just watch me.

Melina (melatonin) Messmer (mesmerist) Answers right in our face Melina (St Trina), Messmer are the SAME being. Miquella I believe may be a secret consort to Messmer not sure but Messmer actively soul projects from the shadow realm to guide us towards his original goal (before he/they were cast out/fled)

I will say, negative space is a very important part of medieval Japanese and Chinese art. Think of those paintings that show a single figure with no background.

I know is disappointing but the kick will most likely to be an ash of war for fist weapons or something like that, not a new weapon type, just like it's an ability in Sekiro

The painting includes the 2 people who started this all,we do get to see the old man.Was he willing to be imbued with the rune?Or is it a punishment or tricked?He looks very worried about something as if he is reluctant of doing something.Was he brought back by deathbed companion?Is he the cultivator of the crucible?Or the greater will?and he hid it inside him?Is marikas mother the formless mother?

3:48 Based on the size and composition of the picture, this looks like a picture of a family of 3 with the couple and the father of one of them, not sure why the husband has to be hidden, maybe this is a character we already know, Radagon is the most potential candidate

This is actually a good theory...what if the body in the coccoon is actualy Messmer? I always found it wierd that spindly long and sharp nailed hand to be Miquella's hand when the statues of him are so different. We know for a fact Messmer has some relation with a tree (the one in the shadow realm) but what if its linked to the Haligg Tree as well, Messmers corruption beign the reason it didn't get to grow properly.

Mesmer is the body in the egg. Mohg works with/for him and the nameless mother. Mesmer probably swayed is brother. Mesmer’s soul is in shadow land

Mogh could've used Miquellas body as a catalyst to summon Mesimier and Mogh sucessfuly got Messimers physical from freed from the Shadow Lands but his spirit is still trapped or maybe Mogh used Miquella harvesting his blood to summon Mesimers spirit back from the Shdow Lands causeing Miquela to be divested of his flesh forcibly? Idk just some ideas from the top of my head lol

Hmm Miquella divested himself of his Flesh, his Blood and all things Golden. His Mind and Soul travelled to the Shadowlands and Mogh stole his Empty Body trying to contact Miquella trough there Blood Relation. Because they have the same mother Mogh was sure that would be the way to connect to Miquella. Unbeknownst to Mogh, Miquella gave up his Heritage, therefore Mogh unbeknownst to himself started a Waypoint to the Shadowlands via there Family Blood but he only got in contact with Messmer who we know resided in the Shadowlands and is also one of Marikas Children therefore he shares Blood Relations with Mogh. Messmer is using Miquellas discarded Body as a Medium to force his way to the Lands Between. It’s similar to Godwyns Case, the Body is still there and used by an outside force.

It also has the yellow of frenzied flame js

I've been sayin this, since a week after the trailer dropped. That's NOT miquella in that cocoon. The trailer shows both his and miquellas HANDS for a reason... the hand miquella waves at the end of the trailer, IS NOT the hand in that cocoon... it's the one that catches on firs

What astonishes me is how many videos can be made on the trailer

20 videos in the last month or so. At least 50 since the trailer came out. Quantity over quality, I guess.

"I've seen your kind, time and time again. Every fleeing man must be caught. Every secret must be unearthed. Such is the conceit of the self-proclaimed seeker of truth. But in the end, you lack the stomach. For the agony you'll bring upon yourself..."

In conjunction to the ring thats on the hand of Miquella's supposed corpse, i saw a video explaining that it has a veey similar design to that of the ouroboros wich is a snake eating its own tail. In the ring we can se that its not one but many snakes intertwined. So maybe it could be a symbology about the story of the dlc that it is mainly about destruction and creation wich is what the ouroboros means

"Out there" theory warning! I noticed the fire from Mohg in his Palace fight sprays out inverted from the way that Messmer's sprays up and outward before igniting. Maybe Messmer has a gender swap identity as the Formless Mother? At least, this makes me think that the Shadow Lands could be not only hidden in shadow, but on the complete underside of the world (beyond the hollow center areas of Noxtella etc) where the Erdtree is bursting through on the other side. Edit: Miquella could have compelled Messmer's physical body to get into the cocoon and tricked Mohg into thinking it was Miq's body in there. Mohg just didn't spec intelligence and made up a religion based on the firey blood powers he was partially pulling from Messmer unwittingly. I think the fire monks and thorn witches were Messmer's crew, they all were tasked with shutting down the giants, and then Messmer's body was sealed in the cocoon by Miq in a trap GOT style. Messmer's men were left out in the cold in the forbidden lands without their master. Marika probably thought they would die out from the cold out there and it would line up with her history of "dick moves." Messmer also reminds me of Nidhogg from Norse mythology in some ways, nibbling beneath the erdtree at its "roots."

Is the man in the painting holding a baby in his arms?? There is in indent in his left arm that appears to be the shape of a babies head with room on his lap for the body. Am I the only one seeing this?

I think the old man in the painting is the body in the cocoon

The 3rd odd part of the ring is 3 snakes alone by itself

I've been saying for the last couple months that the body in the cocoon is actually Messmer. The overall anatomy is that of Messmer and his flame looks like blood flame, which would fit the setting.

We need to kill Radahn to enter the eternal city for fingerslayer blade to use it to kill a god
