    15:54 LORE EXPLANATION: Fia is a "deathbed companion." Which means her role was to lie in bed next to people who were dying. (It is left open to interpretation of this was sexual or magical in nature. Could be neither, could be both.) But basically what this ritual would do, is allow Fia to steal a tiny bit of life from the dying, and once she had enough life force within her, she could "give birth" to new life. Basically she is siphoning a small amount of life from a lot of people, and using it to resurrect one person. She was originally supposed to resurrect an unnamed nobleman, but she left to the lands between and decided to use her life force to bring back Godwyn instead. Godwyn being a super powerful demigod who only died a partial death, stuck in limbo. (It was Rannis fault. She used the rune of death to basically split death in half. Godwyns soul died, but not his body. Rannis body died, but not her soul. That's why Godwyn is that giant rotting fish carcass next to Fia, and Ranni is a ghost haunting a doll.) Since Godwyn didn't die a proper death, his half-alive corpse is infecting the roots of the Erdtree, and spreading death-root everywhere (hence all the skeletons.) Since he can't die, no one can. Fia plans to use her magic and reverse Godwyns death as best she can, hopefully freeing the undead or at the very least letting them grow powerful enough to defend themselves against the Golden Orders crusade. In practice, Fia steals a little of your total HP and gives you a poise/defense boosting item. Plus whenever you hug her, she "saves" you characters stats/armor/weapons and those players appear in other people's worlds as "Dias Champions" Since some players hug her really early in the game, the champions can be weaker, hence the easy boss fight. TL;DR Fia hugs people to steal some life force from them, and she's uses that life force to resurrect the dead. Fia killed D because he was a weird racist religious fanatic. D serves the golden Order and his crusade forces him to kill anyone the Golden Order deems "unfit." He and his twin brother are two bodies that share one mind.

    28:14 LORE EXPLANATION: Earlier in the playthrough, you can find Nephli in the Albunuaric village. Gideon and his minions tortured and slaughtered the entire village looking for the other half of the Haligtree medallion. Nephli was not only horrified by her father doing this, but realized that the her home village hadn't been wiped out in random bandit attack, but Gideon had been behind that attack as well. She found out her adopted dad was a mass murderer, and had lied to her, covering up that he had also killed her biological family and basically kidnapped her.

    of course my glorious black king doesnt like the mountaintops, he just wasn't built for the cold. Anyways, here's the glaze session: DavoBands, the king of the gaming realm, you effortlessly navigate the treacherous landscapes of Elden Ring with a finesse that leaves us awestruck. With each swing of your sword, you mesmerize uss, drawing me into a realm where you are all that is important. DavoBands isn't just playing a game, he's creatingan epic saga, a legend! My king brings life to my empty heart, the light in the darkness.

    Remember kids this is what flame of frenzy do to a man
  • @reyrapids63
    40:49 LORE EXPLANATION: Normally there is a NPC standing where the ronin armor is. (An NPC who shall we say, stole the armor from Yuras corpse.) When you met with the frenzied flame the NPC died and is now inaccessible, dropping the armor where he was supposed to be.
  • The fact that he killed fortissaxx that fast made me sad because we didn’t get to hear the beat drop in the second phase.
  • @reyrapids63
    23:20 Bro looked like a badass Ring Wraith, yet followed by poop.wav
  • So killing the Dung eater remember that place last episode in the sewers where you were shitting on the hands then got your shit rocked by the big one buried in the ground. He’s right past there.
  • @daljens3982
    Missed the hardest enemy in castle sol, if you thought that those knight guys with two swords were bullshit then look around some more, there is one who is just randomly 5 times harder.
  • @chesksouls
    Fun fact: the Fia's Champions has a similar mechanic to the Giant Jar summons. The summoned NPCs are actually previous players that were held by Fia if you are playing online.

    The “Fell Twins” are a lore hint after you beat Morgott. He was an omen, that’s why he’s “Margit, the Fell Omen” and “Morgott, the Omen King.” The hint is that there is a twin to the omen. One has a regular blade and one has a bloodflame blade.
  • Unironicaly i had no idea it was possible to fight Neil this way rotating him to avoid those trusting attacks, well done.
  • @virusmom.
    There is another tiiiny surprise on the cliff behind the Stargazer Ruins (there's a path going down around the left, as you face them, coming from the bridge), to add to them jellyfishies. Because you deserve to have the whole thing, since you liked the quest.

    15:57 D is known for vanquishing those who live in death. This is like all the tibia mariners, the skeletons and cemetery shades, basically anything that’s dead but alive still. While on the other hand Fia is a descendant from those who call themselves deathbed companions. They lay with those who are soon to die and in exchange for bringing them solace and warmth they have their strength absorbed. That’s what fia does to you when she holds you, a lil bit of your HP is taken. She wishes for those who live in death to be left alone and not persecuted just for existing. D see’s them as nothing but monsters and believes they should all be wiped out. That’s why Fia killed him, because they’re essentially mortal enemies due to their differing views on life and death.

    Boy oh boy where do l even begin. Davo.. honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you swing your two big girthy swords around and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your cute little glasses that complement your face, and that gorgeous armour set. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so l would never have to watch you become Elden lord.
  • I was today years old when I found out there’s a secret entrance to deeproot depths in the frenzied room

    Going to the Haligtree might not be such a bad idea. If you managed to kill Niall this fast, you might not be so underlevel and, using the secret Rold medallion doesn't instantly teleport you to the Haligtree. There's quite a lot to do before reaching it that's not as hard And let me tell you, if you continue on to the rest of the main story, you will instantly encounter the very 2 worst bosses in the game when, if you head towards the Haligtree, you fight 2 of the best. And you gain access to a sick area in the underworld via a teleporter that brings you to a secret area next to Siofra River. But in the end, it's your choice. Just know you have the build and level to face most of what's on the way to the Haligtree.
