Shadow of the Erdtree (2024)

The Cycle of Violence.

I imagine there are many things Marika regrets, many things she was forced to think about while imprisoned in the Erdtree. I'd like to think she regretted the cycle of violence she perpetuated.

It's a tragedy that Miquella followed in her footsteps.

#reblog #for such a simple comic it does invoke pretty deep feelings and thoughts about the whole message of Elden Ring and then SOTE #im just so upset that none of her children were ever able to break the cycle #even if they fought it tooth and nail they either became victims of the cycle or perpetrators of it #peak storytelling but a massive tragedy all the same #elden ring #elden ring fanart #elden ring lore #sote #shadow of the erdtree #elden ring marika #queen marika #miquella the kind #elden ring miquella #miquella #miquella the unalloyed

Every shred of Rykard lore from Shadow of the Erdtree

So, naturally, I went through the DLC completely focused on looking for Rykard lore. I never expected much, but despite him not ever being directly mentioned, I still discovered a lot of interesting implications about him… here is everything I found!

Elden Ring, Rejection of Authority, and Transcendentalism

Elden Ring rejects authority as a final solution to the ills of the world, and then offers a message of transcendental hope that such lowly creatures as ourselves might be able to effect real change.

Theory: Messmer's timeline and story will only make sense if you consider him Marika's beloved firstborn

Aka, welcome to my doomed Mother & Son presentation slide 🔥🫡

This is written with the assumption that readers are aware of the big reveal regarding Marika's past.

(spoilers for SoTE and long discussion from Messmer’s birth to his final moment)
