#zelda #tearsofthekingdomAegis VIIs Death Toll | The Story Before Dead SpaceV-Limit2023-04-17 | I promise my hands aren't this shaky in real life.
For clarity's sake, this video is NOT about the events of the first Dead Space game, but instead what happens shortly before Isaac Clarke's arrival on the USG Ishimura. These events are mostly told through 3 prequel stories, being Dead Space: Extraction, Dead Space: Downfall, and the comic series published in 2008.
Our goal is to estimate how many people died on Aegis VII between 2506 and 2508 while keeping track of any known survivors (and sprinkling in some lore here and there), so while the topic might be a little morbid, I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

#eldenring #eldenringloreMiquella and Malenia: The Full Story | Elden Ring Lore (Pre-DLC)V-Limit2022-12-21 | Of all the twins in Elden Ring (which there is a surprisingly high number of), none are more recognizable than the twin Empyreans known as Miquella, the Unalloyed, and Malenia, Blade of Miquella. As the children of Marika and Radagon, they are some the most pivotal and powerful figures in the Lands Between.
But, for many players, figuring out how these siblings fit into the lore and story of Elden Ring can be surprisingly difficult. On top of that, both Miquella and Malenia have loads of cut content that never made it into the final game.
This video aims to go through all the major points of their timeline with a unique approach to the visuals, so I hope that ends up being something you enjoy!

#eldenring #fromsoftware #eldenringloreThe Horror of Gostocs Missing Arm | Elden Ring Cut Content + LoreV-Limit2022-09-12 | Gostoc the gatekeeper is one of the earliest, and, arguably, most memorable characters that can be found in Elden Ring's first area, Limgrave. Yet, despite his infamy for tricking the tarnished into leaving behind runes for him to collect, Gostoc was once much more important to the story and lore of Stormveil Castle and Limgrave's legacy.
There's a surprising amount of cut content for Gostoc, including connections to the removed Dreambrew questline and dialogue about Vyke, the Festering Fingerprint. But, in this video, we'll be focusing on why the developers chose to design Gostoc with only one arm, a mystery that can be unraveled by datamining unused audio files.

This is an intentional trend within the souls-like genre, and it's all a part of the bleak storytelling that helps support the games' themes and the developers' philosophies.
Yet, there are still a handful of quests that break this trend and give a happy ending for the characters involved. While there aren't any huge lore revelations in this video, I think these good endings can be used as proof that the approach taken for NPC endings isn't as simple as some may think.

Miquella and the forces of Castle Sol aim to have the Sun devoured and drained of its color, but is something like this really possible? The fate of Godwyn and the soulless demigods, cradled by the wandering mausoleums, seem to depend entirely on the success of this project, so a solar eclipse may be their only hope.

Stray is a fun, story-based adventure game where the developers use some creative methods to create a uniquely foreign environment. On top of the bizarre robots and creatures, much of the text in Stray is written as an encrypted language spoken by the dwellers of the underground.
A lot of this text can actually be translated into English with a simple cipher, so our goal in this video is to decode these characters to see what hidden messages can be found throughout the game. Also, we'll be trying to decrypt every letter in the alphabet within the first four chapters of the game to minimize spoilers and add an extra challenge.

Exiled criminals discovered the power of this star along with red glintstone after having their eyes gouged out, and the true power of the briars may be more terrifying than you think. Similar thorns are also tied to Godwyn, Elemer, and even Queen Marika herself, so let's explore why the guilty have such deep ties with this concept in Elden Ring's story.

#eldenringThe Flames of the Gods | Elden Ring Lore (Pre-DLC)V-Limit2022-06-30 | Have you ever noticed that the deities of Elden Ring tend to have some sort of relation to flame?

#eldenringHow a Typo Helps Solve a Huge Elden Ring MysteryV-Limit2022-06-20 | Despite how amazing Elden Ring is, a few minor mistakes still managed to sneak into the final game. This includes a few typos, but most of them have since been fixed with updates.
However, one typo still exists within a major cutscene, and it actually hides a clue for one of the most confusing parts of Elden Ring's lore and story. While I don't claim to have a perfect answer, maybe this information can help us solve one of Elden Ring's biggest mysteries: Why does kindling the Giants' Flame and igniting the Erdtree transport the player to Farum Azula?
