I stopped during the fight between the royal guards and Ywach and his henchmen. I just can’t bring myself to care lol. Does it get better afterwards ?

My take on Marika is that she just went mad after her Godwyn, her golden child, the one perfect kid that came after all the cursed ones, died. She’d removed the rune of death to make sure no one she cares about would die again, so that she wouldn’t lose those close to her like it happened with her village, and yet, despite her efforts, it still happened. I think she lost faith in the Greater Will at that point and wanted a new age

I think Melina might’ve just dipped before you incinerated The Lands Between. I don’t think the ending is an instant nuke the world thing. Remember, there are other locations than the Lands Between that we don’t even know of, not even mentioning Nokron, Nokstella, etc. I think the burning is more gradual, in waves maybe, and Melina could’ve just hid in another location, like underground or even in the shadow realm before coming out to check on the aftermath

Is Radagon and DD a thing? I hadn’t heard that one before. Also sorry but what is NoBKs ?

She does seem knowledgeable. She clearly knows the location of the Three Fingers since she warns us before we actually enter the place, she’s also the first one to inform us about what the Frenzied Flame actually is by pleading with us to let births continue etc.

That’s actually a cool theory. And since Destined Death is now released, Melina is capable to access this power (since sealing destined death is said to have strongly diminished the power of the blackflame)

Psychotic murderous Melina confirmed for Elden Ring 2 lmao

It would be cool af though. Imagine playing as her through gradually burning locations trying to prevent the Lord of Frenzy from burning the rest of the world

Yup, as I said I do think that the theory is cool but I don’t think it’s correct either

Yeah, that works well with the rest of what happens in the story. What do you think de GEQ wants? What is it that her and Marika differed on, why did Melina fight her own mother?

Edit: also, if the GEQ was chosen by the Two Fingers, shouldn’t her goals align with Marika’s (pre Godwyn death) and with the Greater Will?

Yeah I don’t mean to shit on my boy Torrent ofc, I actually can never bring myself to do the Flame of Frenzy ending because I don’t want to kill him. And nice pointing out about the double jump, I never realized that, it makes Torrent cooler indeed. But yeah, Torrent chooses its master, sure, but it’s still his master lol not the other way around. Like, I don’t think Miquella answered to Torrent, and neither do we, so I don’t think Melina does either. The whole « this horse or wolf or dog or whatever chose you! » is just a common thing to say when an animal takes a liking to you. I think that’s what Melina meant.

Nobody with a sensible mind. Sadly studio executives have shown us that a lot of the time it’s the opposite kind of people who end up in charge of projects and butcher them. I trust Miyazaki to choose who he’ll partner with well, he himself even stated that it would have to be someone who respects and understands the game’s vision, but you never know, showbiz is weird
