The visual design of Rykard has to be one of the wildest things that Fromsoft has ever created. You just get done defeating the fiant serpent, and then it turns around to show Rykard's face on the back of its head, who having been asleep the entire first phase suddenly decides you're worth his time and his 'Very well' is just dripping with disdain and arrogance. And then the limbs awkwardly poking out of the snake's body, complete with the writhing smaller limbs/snakes/tongues and the apoacylptic visuals of him using his rancour make it seem like you're fighting something that crawled out of the deepest pits of hell. And to top it all off his voice actor puts on a performance like he's had his throat torn out or he's constantly choking on something.

Part snake, part snail, I call them.... Snails

-has doubts about absolute order -helps kills one of the most powerful demigod -loves his siblings -sacrifices himself to take down the false order -still being viewed as a villain This is the real prepare to cry

Rykard is so f*cking cool, I wish we got more Gelmir content, like maybe a set in a style of blasphemous blade and more heresy spells. The whole area feels like it has so much potential.

Its a popular theory that Radahn held back the stars in aid of the Golden Order, or to hinder Ranni. But what did the stars movement do? It guided the fate of the Carian royal family, which Ranni was apart of. And what was Ranni's fate? To be an empyrean, god in service of the Two Fingers and the Greater Will. The very fate that Ranni wished to cast off. My theory is that Radahn held back the very stars to give Ranni the time needed to sever herself from her fate. And only after she has cast off her empyrean flesh, and aquired the means to kill her Two Fingers, do we set the stars back in motion. While Radahn does admire Godfrey and Radagon, its for their martial might that he wished to emulate. Not necessarily the Golden Order itself. But who truly knows why he held back the stars.

One thing I love in the design of rykard is the idle state he is in before you start the fight, the way the serpent is coiled around and into itself makes it look like a fist with four fingers. I might just read into it too much but I like to think it was done on purpose as to show the serpent as a thing disconnected from the two and three fingers whilst also showing it power in the lands between.

Personally I don't think Iji helped forge the rune of death into the knives, we can see that every weapon Iji has forged always has a blunt edge to it, the black knives do not have blunt weapons. Instead, maybe someone like Hewg did it, and his punishment was to be forever chained up and forced to keep making weapons until one can rival the knives imbued with the death, which was the "only way to kill gods", but we do hear Hewg keep saying to himself "the weapon must slay a god!" which he seems to be very stressed about. Hewg also starts to come of age when the Erdtree burns down, or should I say, when the rune of death unbinds. Not only does he immediately seem extremely weird, he also forgets he is a blacksmith, maybe because his punishment has ended?

Patches: “What’s this feeling in my chest?” The Player: “That’s called love Patches.” Patches: “I hate this.”

2023 Vaati: "Elden Ring Lore is rotten" 2024: "Elden Ring Lore is blasphemous" This man never runs out of lore videos

I can’t wait for a video that says “the lore of Elden ring is abundant”

"Hey guys the captial just sent us this new weapon" "Neat, how do you use it?" "I don't know"

Gonna say this now: if you decided to return to either Radahn or Rykard’s arenas with the Miniature Ranni, they should have had her elaborate on her relationship with them. They may be siblings but Ranni never mentions either of them even though Radahn is the entire reason she couldn’t get to Nokron!

you are NOT allowed to do this when I have an exam tommorow

The Marais being the Castellans of shaded castle means that they arent the actual lords of the castle and the lands but serve some higher authority instead,who could be either Leyndell or Rykard. I imagine that the guy in the portrait at Volcano manor was the original Marais,and Rykard rewarded him by making him Castellan of shaded castle and giving him more responsibilities of carrying executions.

Where's the age of Perfect Order video Lore Man? I WILL NOT REST UNTIL ALL ARE ENLIGHTENED BY THE GLORY OF GOLDMASK.

Incredible video as always! I love rykard lore and I’m always itching for more, I truly believe mt gelmir has the best environmental story telling in the whole game. It’s awesome how you can follow leyndells forces up the mountain and experience all their hardships in what seems to be a serious battle of attrition up the mountain. It also shows even more evidence of a partnership between ranni or rennala and rykard, with the finger crawlers and marionettes being shared forces between the 2. Great stuff

Babe wake up new Vaati lore video
