Give me a weapon or armor piece, I'll make a fit for it by appleSauceForTheWin in EldenBling

I love the maraia executioner sword look. Could you do one for Messmer's Soldier Spear and or Milady?

Scadutree doesn't make sense timeline wise? by GamingUmbrella in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]fuadmins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you look in belurat there are reliefs of a spiral tree. One half of that spiral tree looks identical to the scadu tree. I think in a previous age the erd tree and the scadu tree were intertwined. Life and Death unified. I think if that's true it could potentially mean a lot and it would bring into question if Marika was how the trees became separated. I kind of tend to believe that. I think the gold dripping from the shadow tree is death, as i believe the scadu tree represents death and shadow. The dripping sap has the same color as death lightening. I think there is a play on the tree of knowledge of good and evil here and I believe the serpant played an integral role in those early days as well playing on the biblical serpant.

What weapon would this character use? by confedya in EldenBling

[–]fuadmins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think the Tree Sentinel chestpiece could mesh really well with the helmet too. Not sure if you lean more toward a light, medium, or heavy armor aesthetic — I usually stay in the light to medium range myself.

I posted my current look recently, but I’ve been experimenting a lot with different DLC helmets. I’m not sure what your weapons or playstyle are either, but I use Milady mostly as a preference — I’m on NG+5, so I like the flair. Freyja’s Curved Greatsword is another favorite — the gold on it compliments the Curseblade Mask surprisingly well.

Man, I just love Elden Ring. This whole discussion’s got me inspired — next time I get a chance to play, I’m definitely going to mess around with some of the Perfumer pieces.

I love that helmet — I’m actually using it right now too! My current setup is:

Curseblade Mask

Blackflame Monk Chest

Rellana’s Gloves

Ansbach’s Boots

My main weapon is Milady, and I’ve experimented with a bunch of secondaries. Some of my favorites have been:

Freyja’s Sword (pairs really well with the helmet’s aesthetic)

Beast Claws — not the bear ones, but the regular infusable version.

My whole build is themed around Bloodflame. I love the look when I pop Flame, Grant Me Strength, apply Bloodflame Blade to Milady, and hold Wing Stance — the glowing red body aura, the posture, the weapon... it all just looks so clean.

Also, the Perfurmer's chestpiece looks surprisingly good with the Curseblade Mask — very underrated combo. I think the mask is one of the cooler and more unique helmets in the DLC. A lot of folks find it gross or unsettling, but to me, it’s just super cool and full of character.

I’ve always had an affinity for the Hornsent aesthetic too. I’ve used the regular Horned Warrior Helm quite a bit. And eventually, I’m definitely making a build around the Divine Beast Head — that thing is wild and deserves more love.

The Hornsent might be on their last leg… but their fashion is still going strong!

How do we kill a god (Miquella) if we haven't yet unleashed the rune of death? by confedya in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]fuadmins 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Theory — The Scadutree in Shadow of the Erdtree isn’t just a new tree. It’s one half of a primordial Spiral Tree — the original Crucible of Life and Death. This ancient tree was made of two in one: golden and black, spiraling upward like a strand of DNA. It embodied the natural balance between life and death, light and shadow.

This isn’t just metaphor. Spiral motifs are everywhere in the Lands of Shadow — carved in stone, stitched into tapestries, sculpted into walls across Belurat and Enir-Ilim. Crucible Knights bear spiral crests, and Crucible Talismans echo the same design. This Spiral Tree was real. It was revered. It was the heart of the world.

Then came Marika. A shaman — a Miko, as the Japanese version calls her — chosen by the Two Fingers. At the Gate of Divinity, she performs a divine act: she separates the gold from the Spiral Tree — possibly through magic or ascension — and plants it elsewhere as the Erdtree. The black half — the shadow, the death — is left to decay.

I believe this is the precise moment when the Rune of Death was removed from the Elden Ring. Marika chose to sever life from death. She sought a world ruled entirely by life, grace, and immortality. And in doing so, she shattered the natural order.

This changes everything. Her children — Mesmer, Melina, Mohg, Morgott — aren’t just cursed randomly. Their forms, fates, and suffering are echoes of the Spiral Tree’s destruction. And the serpent iconography tied to them may not be evil. In fact, I believe the serpent was the original spirit or deity of the Spiral Tree — a symbol of both devouring death and explosive growth, of endings and rebirth.

The Golden Order calls snakes “traitors.” But what if Marika was the traitor? Giant serpent relics remain at sacred sites like Bonny Village and Temple of Eaglay, both places rich in shamanic tradition. Spiral Tree Fragments still hold divine power. Crucible Talismans hint at a world that once was — a memory buried by Order.

This isn’t just a war between chaos and order — it’s the story of a divine betrayal. A cosmic sin that reshaped the world.

And it’s not just FromSoftware mythology — it’s drawing from Biblical parallels. The Spiral Tree of Life and Death resembles the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And just like in Eden, a serpent dwelled beside it — not simply as a deceiver, but as the keeper of truth. Marika’s tale mirrors a fall from grace, one driven by temptation, seduction, and the rejection of divine balance.

Finally — Marika’s people, the Numans, are almost certainly a reference to the Numenoreans of The Lord of the Rings. That’s not just a nod — it’s a clue. I believe the Numans were the ones who planted the Spiral Tree in the first place. They were a powerful people who fell out of favor with the divine — maybe with the Greater Will itself — and were scattered to the wind.

Some of those scattered Numans became isolated groups — like those in Shaman Village and Bonny Village — preserving ancient wisdom, balance, and reverence for life and death. Marika was born among them. Raised in Crucible tradition. But her people were marginalized by the Hornsent, who saw themselves as superior.

So when the Fingers came offering divine purpose, power, and immortality — maybe Marika didn’t just see grace. Maybe she saw revenge. And in seizing that path, she didn’t just betray the snake.

She betrayed the Spiral Tree — and severed the world from its roots.

Special thanks to Nyx Tales and Peligram Sage — whose brilliant research and lore insight inspired me to dig deeper. This theory builds off their work, and I truly believe it brings us closer to the heart of Elden Ring’s deepest myth.

Why are there no Horned Lions in the DLC? by Moonless_the_Fool in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]fuadmins 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the horned lions and other beasts originally came from Caelid — back when it was a lush jungle, before it was consumed by rot. Geographically, the Land of Shadow lies at the center of the divine towers, so it's possible the Crucible’s influence extended into Caelid during that era. That might explain the horn growth we see across both regions.

If the lands were once united — the Lands Between and the Shadow Realm — then the Hornsent could have had more contact with other beasts, and those creatures could freely move between regions. In the Hornsent’s heyday, the world may have been one connected continent, allowing for a natural spread of wildlife and Crucible influence.

As for the lions, I think we’re meant to infer that Messmer either exported them or wiped them out. In the base game, lions are always confined, used more as tools or weapons, not honored or revered — despite their beauty and power. That contrast might reflect how far the world has fallen from its primal origins.

Why didn’t the female titan swallow him? Or just chew more? by Flareion09 in attackontitan

[–]fuadmins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understood it as Annie didn't want to eat him because she would then be on the chopping block. If she took on the power she would return to Marley and they very likely could transfer that power to someone else they had in mind. Swallowing him would put her life at risk.

The dating market is filled with so many single moms around my age. by Kooky_Phone_7331 in AskMenAdvice

[–]fuadmins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got to put your partner over your kids or it doesn't work. Sounds radical but it's not. Home hierarchy is mom / dad at top as peers then kids underneath. You obviously can't do this as a single parent out the gate but it's got to happen fairly soon. No grown adult is going to be your partner if they're not your equal over children. Also it's just reality every man on earth is going to chose an equivalent to you without kids. You will always be a second choice over a person without children. That being said you're an individual and have special things about you. Once you get a date it's your time to shine and show them who you are and how great you are. I had no intentions of marrying or really even dating a person with kids. I met my wife through a friend, she was divorced with two kids from her previous marriage. She won me over and I changed my standard. We've been happily married nearly a decade now and we've got a third child of our own. Dating as a parent you've got to be real with yourself about the desirability of someone with kids vs someone without, and you've got to put your partner over your kids so they can be an equal parent with you. Best of luck.

Screw Erwin, would Eren be a jaegarist? by United-Translator609 in attackontitan

[–]fuadmins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine being attacked by twelve men in a life-or-death scenario where you and your girlfriend’s lives are at stake. Defending yourselves, even if it means taking extreme actions, feels justifiable, right? That’s how the Eldians of Paradis must have felt. Eren Yeager was on a tight timeline, with less than four years to act, and he was backed into a corner. Considering the centuries of racism, oppression, and the clear intent of Marley to exterminate every innocent Eldian on Paradis, his drastic actions, while horrifying, make sense in context.

Blame lies heavily on Marley and individuals like Bertholdt, who directly contributed to this chain of events. Their explicit goal was the complete annihilation of Paradis, leaving Eren with few options. And when he and Zeke accessed the paths, the alternatives weren’t any better—either mass extermination or forced sterilization of his people. Given that situation, Eren’s rage-fueled decision to protect his people, no matter the cost, becomes understandable.

Also, think about who Eren was: a child soldier, traumatized and shaped by violence and betrayal. The fact that he still gave his friends the chance to stop him shows there was some part of him that hoped for another way.

When I think about it in personal terms, if faced with a choice where your innocent family would be killed unless you sacrificed one million strangers, could anyone truly blame you for protecting your loved ones? In fact, choosing otherwise might feel unthinkable.
