The Good Doctor Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I actually did activate "try-hard" mode when I got surprise invaded by Dung Eater just because of the implications of what dying to him could mean. Luckily, he’s not that tough of an opponent by this point in the game. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked it locking you into his ending. There is one ending you're locked into if you do something Melina begs you not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 My first playthrough ended with the most bleak, horrifying ending. No spoilers but it makes Dung-Eater look like pussy shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be such a hilariously disgusting troll. Assuming that his ending is what he describes wanting, then getting stuck with that as the world’s fate after 80 hours of playtime would be the worst thing ever. Imagine if your controller batteries died during the fight. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really cool thing is that the extremely bleak ending is something the game secretly guides you to your whole playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not even going to try to guess it. I feel like there are already like ten things this could apply to. Hell, I was sure that the Lord of Blood was one but that’s been ruled out for me. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big cauldron thing is pretty close, in fact. But I’ve stopped progressing that way so I could double back and explore the area more + tie up loose ends in earlier regions. Is it relating to the "CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!!" guy who took over my dead ronin friend’s body? He told me to go look under the capital, and to sacrifice myself instead of Melina. That’s gotta be it, yeah? 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well right now she seems super sketchy to me. But I don’t know if changing the translation would help because a lot of my skepticism comes from her early deeds. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Item descriptions call him the most hated man in history. If you try attacking and 'killing' the possessed Yura, Shabriri tells you he cannot die and that he's chaos incarnate. His voice fades into the wind itself afterwards, he makes me think of a really horrific Avatar. But yeah, if you seek audience with the Three Fingers as he wishes, it'll change the entire story which is extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 By the way, I figured out the Goldmask puzzle. I did have some help… First was Czar telling me to go down that elevator. Second, I remembered when one of y’all mentioned his questline was the only one to require a respec. Third, a friend told me I’d need to cast a spell. Went down the elevator. Found the note in front of the statue. Remembered turtle pope saying something about a statue housing secrets. Looked through my incants, and found one called Regression requiring super high INT. I didn’t have to respec, thankfully. Just leveled INT twice, wore a nerd statue mask, drank my flask of smart juice, and was able to cast it. And it worked. Interesting twist… But now I am very confused. If Marika is Radagon, then is she also the "father" of Rennala’s children? 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marika is Radagon, then is she also the "father" of Rennala’s children? There's a huge amount of debate surrounding that. One camp is that Radagon is Marika is Radagon is Marika, basically they've always been a single being. While another camp is that Radagon and Marika became one entity after the shattering of the Elden Ring. The truth is... that it's very vague and left to interpretation.

TheCzarsHussar Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 But at the same time, if Radagon and Marika were always the same god, then Radagon's childreen through Rennala would have been Demigods from birth, and not just by their father's marriage to Marika.

Maybe Radagon is a mortal aspect? Or maybe they actually were from birth. The power and appearance of the demigods seems to vary wildly. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 @The Good Doctor It could also be an element of Talos deleting Cyrodiil's jungles thereby they've never existed hence forward. When Radagon and Marika became a single god, they've always been so hence forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
