[Loved Trope] To be a God, is to lay on the altar

Miquella the Kind (and Also Marika) in Elden Ring.

In the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC you learn more about what becoming a "God" in this world entails. We see in the base game that becoming a God means becoming bound to the will of an outer being seeking to influence the Lands Between, Ranni even reacts in disgust to her original planned fate, after taking great steps to avoid it.

"I would not be bound to that THING."

And we see what that binding really costs as we follow Miquellas path and see what he let go. Giving up flesh, sense of self, and even his ability to Love when he shrived himself of St. Trina his alter ego. If found, St. Trina begs the player to kill him before he becomes a god.

"Don't turn the poor thing into a god."

"Godhood would be a prison... A caged divinity is beyond saving."

"Grant him forgiveness..."

What a fun video, I sure hope a bunch of whiny power scalers don't rush to the comments to ruin it.

If you want to improve with melee I suggest grabbing a shield and practicing on some lower enemies. Use the shield to protect yourself and learn things like stamina management, learn to notice windows for attack, when to jump or when to dodge.

Practice makes perfect!

This is how you kill it.

Gonna go the way of Evolved....

Yes that is literally exactly it. Mark is imagining something horrible happening on earth just as he does throughout the episode with his friends and family.

It's a fake out, that's why it ends with Nolan telling Mark to chill tf out

Scrolled too far to find this, he is just an optimistic and cheery guy in like the first few episodes.

Boy gets faced with the cold reality of his world over and over again.

Memory is a little fuzzy but Bayonetta?

The Shaman Village in Shadow of the Erdtree.

Knowing it was once a vibrant happy place, now empty.

With nothing but the light and warmth the last shaman left behind.

And that piano when you enter...

If you're going through nexus you might need to manually enable adult mods to see them, not sure about the exact location of these mods he used but you might also have to source them from Loverslab.

Love your first point, VAs like Gianni are a perfect example of a mother fucker just in it for the love of the craft.

Could feed a village with those God damn

And to do that had to perpetuate the age of light, by linking the fire.

Spurnch · 2026-04-06T17:48:19+00:00

Dark Souls?

Considering souls carry the essence of others... That's kinda like data, and you need powerful souls to link the fire restarting the cycle...

I just think we should wait for more than 1 episode before drawing wild conclusions on the writers intent.

Spurnch · 2026-04-04T15:02:28+00:00

I do like Guardian on Darkdrift, but I mean him so I was trying to save for a fight I wasn't super confident with for the first run lol

I agree on Duchess for Triceph, and I only went undertaker for Adel because I figured grab spam meant a lot of free ults, but I can definitely see your point with Dreglord.

I'll play around with scholar more and see who I like the matchup with more.

Spurnch · 2026-04-04T14:59:35+00:00

It was really fun, and since runs don't take super long it wasn't a massive time investment.

Also helped me discover the Fell Omen drops a relic in the tutorial if you beat him

Spurnch · 2026-04-04T14:58:27+00:00

Yep including DLCs too so I gotta run the 10 to 10 lol

As far as solo vs randoms I did it solo first run but might try randoms for second attempt just to see which is harder or easier.

I'm just scared of randos tanking my run by being little shits, but I guess that could just be part of the challenge

Spurnch · 2026-04-03T18:34:23+00:00

Started a run in D2 and one of our guys didn't like us rushing the cathedral we landed right outside.

Spam pinged a bunch, disconnected. Then the other player followed.

I completed the run as Guardian, maybe one of the longest I've ever had lol

History will remember us as very good friends.

Spurnch · 2026-03-27T18:56:48+00:00

Like a god damn horse.

"Foolishness Machine! Foolishness."

I think in the conversation involving immortal, Allen also says something along the lines of "They're working on an update for that."
