She actually didn’t, that’s Rennala commentating over your fight essentially. The phantom Rennala (when she kills you or when she summons an ally) uses Ranni’s voice, but when you defeat her it’s Rennala’s voice, implying that it’s Rennala herself rather than Ranni’s illusion speaking it.

What's MOST cute is that there are signs that ALL of Renalla's children protected her in some way: *The Iron Virgins:* _Created by Rykard, meaning he intentionally sent some to the academy to act as guardians._ *The Onyx Lord:* _The only record we have of Onyx Lords allying with humans comes from Radahn, meaning this one likely moved to the academy at his behest._ *Ranni:* _The big protective illusion._ When you consider how loving Renalla is with her "sweetings," it makes sense that she was probably a very good mother to her children.

Gideon's combat style could not be more different from Nepheli's. She uses nothing but an axe imbued with lightning and he's a multidisciplinary spellcaster. This is very rare among From Soft's many specialist fighters. He's very talented and he knows it, yet as merely one of many tarnished he's not inherently more fit for the Elden Throne than any other no matter how magically proficient. He's quick to take charge and proclaim himself the "leader" of the tarnished of the Roundtable, using them as pawns to scout out the Lands Between and gather knowledge for him. Nepheli is clearly more than capable in a fight so his comment could very much be interpreted as that she's very strong despite possessing no inherent magical talents.

Probably my favorite boss designs analysis so far. Rennala taking the time to recover and restore herself to before she was broken resonates with me not just because it's a wonderfully hopeful interpretation of her story, it also elevates what I personally experienced when playing the game for the first time myself. Discovering the ability to rebirth myself with an in-world lore mechanic was the match that finally lit the very, very long fuse that was me questioning my gender identity, and ultimately led me to find not only myself, but a community of people I connect to and can share my experiences with. Rennala kickstarting that part of my life was definitely a highlight of 2022 for me among other things, that made it one of the happiest years that I've had in a long time. And now, with this analysis, I've been given another gift. Having gone though a pretty bad breakup years ago from a toxic relationship, there was a good while of feeling heavy and hopeless that I had to drag myself through the mud to recover from. I felt that with Rennala as she weakly crawled towards the amber egg. It just so happened that the process of returning to a place where I feel recovered and happy with myself again coincided with the release of Elden Ring, which was when I started exploring who I was. So not only did Rennala open the gates to me finally feeling like a Full Moon myself, her own story also represents the long, painful, but ultimately triumphant and cathartic return to form I experienced personally. Not only fully recovered, but even better than she was before being broken. I always love your episodes, but this one was quite special to me. Thank you for everything you do, Skyen.

So that's what Rennala looks like with a +2 weapon. I've literally never seen the Gravestone mechanic myself.

I'd never thought of the concept that Rennala was rebirthing herself through the amber egg, but it makes so much sense. Considering the themes of some other character in game with rebirth, it's an angle that honestly makes more sense than her just being heartbroken. It never sat right with me that she was so broken by Radagon leaving her with how she's characterised in so many parts of the lore. She'd be hurt sure, but with how strong and determined she's supposed to be, it never quite added up for me.

Rennala "I'm just working on myself right now" Caria Honestly though, given the two exes, Rennala never once mentions Radagon but Godfrey *spoiler* * * * Godfrey does and explicitly states that he would hold her in his arms again So I think between them, shes over her ex, hes not

@yosayoran1

Жыл бұрын

There are pretty good arguments to make that Marika and Godfrey didn't "break up" of their own volition. It is stated that she sent him away knowing one day he and his kin (the tarhished) will be called again to fight for her. We also know Radagon and Marika aren't exactly on great terms, and it's heavily implied Godfrey was not a fitting king in the eyes of the golden order because of his ties to the crucible and the "blessings" his sons had (aside from godrick who's main role in the story is to die and undie). So in my interpretation, which is very generous to Marika, she had to send Godrick away despite their love to each other because the greater will demanded it. That cemented in her heart she has to kill the elden beast and she refused to remarry, which made the greater will split her into two and send Radagon to do its bidding, while Marika stayed behind, weaker on the throne.

I love the Boss Designs so much exactly because of episodes like this one. I found the obvious tragic reading in Renala, without really considering the waxing crescent moon angle. Skyen's insights are great for sparking deeper thought on these games.

I have a bit of a different take on Rennala. We know that the Great Rune of the Unborn is stored within the amber egg, not Rennala herself, and that without it rebirth leaves only a flawed, damaged copy of the original. When we find Rennala, we discover - as did those sorcerors of Raya Lucaria, who surely checked in on her once the news of the marriage ending spread - that she has been reduced to a flawed, damaged version of her past self. I think she didn't want to live a life without Radagon, and then the egg worked its magic.

Funny you use that clip of Gwyn in the end, because I've been reading up on Darren Aronofsky's _The Fountain_ in recent years, and I've started to believe that the "Link the Fire" ending is meant to represent the player escaping the cycle of death, rebirth, and suffering that Buddhism states is the nature of existence and offering your life force to nourish the natural world so that it may flourish. Not unlike your interpretation of Dark Souls 2's throne ending, come to think of it. On that note, you may want to look into Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism and other Japanese belief systems, because, well, FROMsoft is a Japanese company and a lot of their work is created through a distinct cultural lens.

Plus there's A LOT of little lore connecting the Moon with the concept of Slumber and spirits, after you see them it gets hard to believe this is a simple illusion, especially given Ranni's weird comment about her mother being in a "rich slumber" despite the fact she's perfectly awake besides us.

I was introduced to this series first in its Bloodborne incarnation, and have been massively enjoying it ever since.

I've Loved all of boss design series so far and that was curious how I would feel about the elden ring series, considering I beat it awhile ago. And yet, as always, you still manage to offer brand new insight that I'd never considered before. I absolutely love your idea of a waxing crescent Queen Rennala.

What an empowering perspective. Rennala was in fact broken by Radagon’s betrayal at some point, yet she retrieves into herself to heal and mend her broken heart on her own. To once again be born anew in the splendor of the full moon.

I must say i love the restorative take on Rennala, especially since it got me thinking. There is a third interpretation i think. Of someone who, while trying to heal, has clung to something that will never allow them to heal. Rennala is using the egg as a crutch, leaning on the idea of rebirth as a means to become the powerhouse she was, when in reality she eill never be that person again. Healing, afer all, isnt returning to a time before the wound, its adapting to life with the scars.

So glad you're continuing this series! I love your commentary on these games.

YES, the elden ring vids are back! I love them so much and how incredibly talented you are at picking up on every singe subtle detail, please keep doing these videos they are GREAT. Cant wait for radabeast and some of the others!

For the record; I'd love to see just a cut of the side quests and adventuring as a break between episodes. Can't wait!

I played Elden Ring before but kinda dropped it for a good while as I focused on other games that grabbed my attention. This series not only made me want to go back and start from scratch, but also try to be more attentive and actually piece things together whereas my previous playthrough was just... exploring and killing without much thought. I'm enjoying this second playthrough a lot more and it's definitely thanks to you, dood. It's also funny to see where our theories and hypothesis align and how we interpret certain things differently. PS: something I learned the hard way, armor is for drip, pump that vitality stat if you don't wanna get oneshot later on.
