I REALLY just want an "Aspect of the Crucible: Wings" attack already. We only get three out of the five Aspects we see the Crucible Knights use. The Aspects we get to use being the Horns, Tail, and Breath but the Crucible Knights also have a Wing-Dive type attack and a Talon type grab attack. Also a Seal that specifically boosts the Aspects even further (stacking with the armor) would be neat since without the armor and really high FTH the damage is really lack luster and with both it's only average at best. They're fun and visually amazing, but struggle in actual utility. Saying this as a guy who's favorite build is essentially a Crucible Knight cosplay, so I know.

Or that it is a prized possession of his disciples, who feel the bite of Okina’s blade in every swing as they journey to die at his hands (hence the self-dmg on hit).

And what i like more about them over chalice dungeon is that theres always... something in them, some kind of item or spirit, and not just a boring ass damage up gem that you "might" get.

My number 1 wish when it comes to weapons/spells is to have Morgotts summoned weapons, they look so freaking awesome and it was so dissapointing that there's no way to use them yourself. They could be either standalone incantations or maybe a weapon of its own with light attacks being sword swipes, heavy attacks could be the hammer, maybe the block button could be used to throw daggers and then the ash of war would be one of those long combos he does with all 3 of them. Also weird suggestion but add a way for the player to become an omen. Maybe some sidequest or secret mini dungeon associated with it. Think how you could turn into a hollow in DS3 or use the dragon stones in any of the games. That way you could complete a Morgott/Mohg cosplay that right now looks kind of silly.

Are we destined to struggle forever? What makes life worth living?

As far as explaining the story. There was a very early leak before Elden Ring was announced in which the leaker talked about FromSoftware working on a new open world game. He said there was someone famous behind the story and the game would have horseback riding amongst other things. The leak was pretty credible since a lot of things it predicted ended up coming true. One of the other things he predicted was that the open world game (Elden Ring) would be part of a new trilogy. If true its likely they're planning on saving a lot of the story for the next games.

​@@thebigenchilada678Dark Souls was originally a standalone game. Yet here we are with a trilogy. The sequels did little more than reiterate the main plot of the first. I believe there's a lot more inbuilt potential for follow-ups in the world of Elden Ring than Dark Souls, and Miyazaki has stated in an interview that certain parts of the story have been reserved for future games (could be a translation error and he's referring to DLC but can't be sure of that either). To me it seems unlikely FromSoft would go to such an esteemed writer to develop a backstory for a single title. I think it's very possible this mythos George RR Martin wrote could be intended for multiple titles. The story could develop in ways we can't predict, and there is solid evidence to suggest sequels. Ultimately this reply is longer than I intended but I'm excited for whatever they release. ER related or not.

One thing I'll want in the DLC is more uses for stuff like the prism stones and glowstones. I remember using a glowstone to see what's below a deep crevice in a cave just to see a bunch of enemies that otherwise would have ambushed me.

No, covenants were amazing. Especially Aldrich's Faithful and Darkmoon Hunters in Irithyll, aka, gank city.

I always thought that the main theme of Elden Ring was choice and accountability, and the tragedy of having your personal freedom taken away. The whole Ranni questline is about not letting something else decide your fate, from the minutia of the quest to the very conclusion. Ranni creates a new order but she and the player take that order and leave the world, creating a greater distance so that the people would have the ability to make their own decisions and not have their lives ruled by it, while still allowing the new order to fix the broken world and create a semblance of structure. The greatest tragedy in the whole quest is when we find out Blaidd is unwillingly beholden to the Two Fingers and ends up going mad, prompting us to kill him to defend ourselves and sparing him the shame and indignity of slaying a loved one with his own, unwilling hands; killing him at this point is a mercy. It is further expanded upon by the idea of systems of power that the main players of the Lands Between try to impose upon the world and its people; gods and demigods trying to enforce THEIR rules on everybody, whether they like it or not. To further expand upon that, the main flaw of a few of the most important characters and mandatory bosses, Maliketh and Morgott, is blind, unthinking loyalty, and they are punished for that. At the same time, they themselves are victims of the rigid, uncaring systems and key figures they are so unflinchingly devoted to.

You're definitely right that the tragedy of power literally or metaphorically enslaving people is one of the biggest themes, _(eg. Rykard pursues it out of desparation, the twin prodigies are literally cursed with theirs, rennala is driven mad by it and speculatively may have rebirthed herself)_ but Elden Ring is so big I don't think it can be _fully_ boiled down in any way in the way Dark Souls was. Unlike From's previous games, Elden Ring isn't one singular fable, it's a full world where various separate character's stories play out

I still think that the value of having control over one's own fate, the very ability to make your own choices, is at the heart of the story's themes. Apart from the already mentioned NPCs, the other ones also support this. Whether it's via unflinchingly pursuing your own dreams (Alexander), or not letting your pride and sense of self wither away(Millicent and Malenia, though the latter failed), personal choice and identity is always at the forefront.

Considering Dark souls already touches on the themes of choice & stolen freedom quite a lot, I don't feel like they are at the centre here. accountability could be within the main theme tho. I'd sooner say based on my interpretations of the overall lore, which isn't close enough to most mainstream ideas. That the theme is more to do with the constant fight for ultimate dominance over all the world by a single power out of many & how dogmatic & controlling religion/religious worship can be over the masses. I will say I am far more biased to naturally be thinking this way now more so than when I originally thought of this a little, due to the state of the world being heavily affected by these same issues.

The Chrono Trigger music in an Elden Ring video really threw me and twisted my brain and senses to a degree I didn't think possible....in one of the best ways possible.

Before Elden Ring was released and while I started playing it, I thought that Radahn's festival would be a duo-bossfight against Malenia and Radahn, were one of them would appear as a phantom while the other was fighting enemies in the background like if they were still "fighting in a war", and that they would keep changing who is fighting the player, similar to what the Demon Prince bossfight in the Ringed City is. I don't know how the fuck I came up with that, BUT I WANT IT

I want a dungeon that takes place within an actual Lake (not like Agheel lake, but an actual deep lake) that introduces hazardous sections where you have to walk through regions that are entirely flooded (because I doubt they would add swimming lets be real) with risk of "drowning" (lets just assume its deathblight water so we die if we're in it too long).

I fricking love your takes too, lotf pvp-theories (🤨) are quite an eye-opener too, aren't they? 🤯

I would love it if there were more dragons to unlock more dragon communion incantations. There are thirteen dragon communion incantations, fourteen if you include Placidusax's ruin, which is a pretty health pool of spells to chose from, but dragonfire, dragonice, glintstone breath and rotten breath are just different flavors of the same incantations, and Agheel's flame, Borealis's mist, Smarag's glintstone breath and Ekzyke's decay are just upgrades of those same spells, so in reality it only has like seven spells, literally half the magic school is the exact same spell. Still a really fun school of magic but it would be way more fun if there were more variety. I think if they were to add more dragons with different elemental types that would be a good opportunity to add unique dragon communion spells, Imagine in the base game if we found an undead skeleton dragon in the deeproot deaths, and instead of beathing fire it opened its moth to scream and dozens of deathflame wraiths came out and started homing in on you, or in the outskirts of the shaded castle you could find a putrid dragon that just vomits a massive puddle of acid onto the floor like the gaping dragon from dark souls 1. Even some of the already existing dragons have alternate attacks that I would gladly swap their dragon communion counterparts out for

8:58 honestly, if we got one I'd appreciate a transforming spear that got fire magic with its unique moveset

Nice video as always!!

That bit about pvp was so real. I felt it in my soul. I ache to get invaded as a solo host while also having it be entirely out of my control

More of that blood incantations. Have them use health for blood manipulation.

I love your point about the mini dungeons. I get that people are disappointed that they are kind of copy pasted and not super unique, but like you said I love the combat in this game so much that I'll take any excuse to play more of it. I don't mind all the repeated bosses because it gives me an opportunity to fight them again at a different stage of my character progression, with a better version of my previous build or an entirely new build. The game already has an insane amount of high quality levels and fights. At this point I value quantity of quality more because in this case the quantity IS the quality.

I miss solo invasion. I am not into playing with a coop partner. But that tension when you saw it pop it up was intoxicating

Great selection of music, it's appreciated and we notice.

I thought the theme was pretty straightforward, really: try as we may, *nothing* we build lasts forever. Unless everything devolves into chaos, there will always be a rise and fall, and there's very little we can do about it. People will either unable or unwilling to play the part they were meant to play for something to last. Absolute balance is death; but then again, so is chaos, and thus the endless cycle of rising and falling. And when things fall, they seldom do so gracefully.

Giving more details on the dragon’s Outer God, the Formless Mother, the Fell God, and a possible Moon and Stars Outer God. 4. Two or more legacy dungeons with the best bosses in the game. I really hope that we get to fight Godwyn in his prime form. 5. I hope that this DLC takes place in a realm outside of time, similar to how you fight Dragonlord Placidusax.

they disliked them because they ignored them until they beat they game, which makes the early dungeons feel like a crappy, grinding, slog since the early ones are meant for characters at like level 30, not 60-80. when done at the points you are intended to engage with them, you never feel like you need to go grind for blood vials or levels as they fill the gaps between each of the main areas quite nicely. especially when you consoder that your progression with them saves over each ng+ cycle. when you know you’re not supposed to do them in your first game right before you beat gerhman, but do half of them throughout your first play through, and the other half in ng+, then they feel SOOOOO much better, and you can really have some fun with them. and when you do want to grind, that’s what the random dungeons were for, but people barely used them. they also had a lot more variety than the static dungeons, and they were also great for invasions for that reason. (RANT, FEEL FREE TO IGNORE: which is a whole other topic entirely, but BB multiplayer was meant for invasions, people trying to have “no healing honor duels” in BB were just playing it wrong. your character heals if you attack fast enough after taking dmg AND you could parry heal attempts, and yet i STILL see people who will disconnect if someone heals. play Bloodborne like Bloodborne and not like Dark Souls people 🙄 instead, all my attempts to invade chalice dungeons were always cock-blocked by people using one dungeon for fight clubs that had so many banned items and techniques that it scarcely even resembled bloodborne. leave the honor duels for back with the knights in shining armor.)

Yer right, I felt the heat 🔥😅 turned me on, ngl.

I wouldn't call myself a lore expert, but this is my interpretation of the overarching story of Elden Ring right now. I know its broad without a lot of details, but I think it is approaching the theme of the game. Long ago Marika became the vessel for the Greater will, but eventually was unable to bear the weight of her own actions. As a vessel for an outer god of order she was supposed to create a perfect order in the world, but couldn't because of her own mortal desires. She eventually tried to shatter herself/ The Elden Ring, but she knew that the Greater Will would not let her. I believe this is when Radagon became Marika. I also believe she had banished the tarnished before this point with the intent that they would fight each other until only one remained who would challenge the Greater Will, and inherit her power. I think the 3 mending rune endings are all about resolving contradiction's in the Order that Marika could not, but they would all maintain the the influence of the Greater Will. The first relates to the Omens. She couldn't allow Omens in her order because giving birth to mutants would contradict her divinity. The Dung Eater wants to curse everyone so that natural birth becomes the only form of birth (no more Erdtree birth) in the Lands Between. This would be a challenge to Marika's Order. The second ending relates to Godwin who died in spirit. I think Marika sees living in death as worse than death itself. He didn't "make something of himself", and his spirit is dead so he can't be reborn with the Erdtree. We know that Fia still wants to comfort Godwin in death, and that the Order/D will kill her given the chance so we can assume this is another contradiction to Marika's order. The 3rd ending relates to Radagon being Marika. We don't know exactly what Goldmask's conclusion was, but Corhyn call's it blasphemous. That is definitely a challenge to Marika's order. I suspect its simply knowing that a mortal can become a god. I believe if we approach the lore knowing that Marika tried to cover up aspects of history to maintain her order we may start finding some more answers, and I think these are good place's to start rooting out the contradictions in the lore. I would be skeptical of any text written from the perspective of the Golden Order. As for a theme of the game I think its legacy, or inheriting power. Every ending is about what you would do to the world, not for yourself like previous souls games. You can maintain the Order, change it, give it away, or burn it all down. I think Miyazaki wanted this game to be more political than his previous games, and that's why he worked with George R. R. Martin.

Three things I'd like for the expansion to include: - A Boss rush/rematch system of some kind. There are so many bosses that I'd love to keep fighting, but don't feel like playing through the entire game for. - Unique area Covenants Give us a reason to go through certain areas of the game again. What if there were mini-dungeon style invasions? What if there was a covenant dedicated to protecting animals, and invaders hunt you for killing them? What if there were open field boss covenants where invaders fight you during boss fight? The potential is endless. - A personal desire: A Gloam Eyed Queen boss fight. From what I understand of the lore, the GEQ was basically a goddess of death- The Godskin Cult channeled their power from her alone; Power so grand it had to be sealed away by Maliketh. A boss that hits as hard as Maliketh, but with a Godskin aesthetic? Sign me up. We even get her weapon: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only boss whose weapon we received before meeting them was Ludwig... and we all know the boss that came afterward.

I liked the strange journey music. Just felt a random feeling of happiness out of no where.

Yh, I totally agree. They should definitely add Curse-Rotted Greatwood from DS3. It'd fit the 'Shadow of the Erdtree' really well

Here are some of my own wishlist points: 1. SOME form of system to refight Rememberance bosses without needing NG+ cycles. Given their name I'm surprised this wasn't even in the basegame, but since Sekiro I am confident this will be in the game. 2. A new ending or "pseudo ending". Dark Souls 2 and 3 both had pseudo endings from the DLC (getting the fused crown and blood of the dark soul respectively) to have lore implications without _directly_ interfering with the clear conditions of the basegame, and Elden Ring has already set up Miquella potentially curing Godwyn and thus saving the world from deathblight as an easy example. 3. Some QoL conveniences, like maybe an NPC who can finally break down Smithing Stones to lower rarities for example 4. While I _expect_ the DLC to be hard, I will disagree with Ratatoskr that it *NEEDS* to be hard. (I mean, massively hard in relation to the rest of Elden Ring) Slave Knight Gael isn't the best boss in Fromsoft history because he's the hardest, he very arguably isn't. Lady Maria is beloved despite not even being very hard in the first place. Sister Friede is pretty fucking hard, but Phase 1/2 really aren't that bad, she is mostly a trial of endurance. I feel Fromsoft getting conscious about external expectations to make hard bosses was responsible for the unfun mechanics Malenia resorted to, (eg. hitstun cancel) and I would not be disappointed if Malenia remains Elden Ring's hardest boss. I just hope this DLC has _the most fun_ boss movesets in Elden Ring.
