I feel so late to this video! pouring through them all. @2:55 incredible read on Gehrman's one-way obsession with Maria =/= Maria's multifaceted humanity. Subconsciously I always felt this, but you just put it to words excellently. I know I'm just saying what a lot of others have already said, but between @Michela, @SinclairLore, @HoneyBat, @Miss_chalice and @ZullietheWitch, the insight gap I've experienced from fem exclusion in gaming is filling over the brim as i discover more and more from this awesome content! tyty for making it <3 Looking for more
This is so sweet! I'm glad you're getting into my Bloodborne videos! To this day these are my favorites and I'm proud of them. I definitely saw a rift between what Gehrman saw of Maria and who she actually was. This is why the Doll ends up being so unsettling to him (and why we as players feel put off by how he treats her in-game.) He couldn't capture who Maria was because he never fully saw her as a person. This happens in real life too! I hear you, and I'm glad you mentioned names like Sinclair and Zulie! I love both of their channels.
Many Women can't understand Mens ability to "see" only the best qualities of the women in our life, but you see examples of men who can treat their spouse as though they are perfect even to this day. Now it is considered putting one on a pedestal and is seen as obsession, once it was romantic and expected. When a man loves a woman, she can do no wrong
Gehrman still doesn't see Maria for all that she is as a person, only his vision of her. In the way we see him treating the Doll (and in the Doll's clothing item description) it's meant to feel off-putting and disturbing, because it is.
Great video 🎉
Thanks!
Great job with the dancing lion Michela, I used to watch your Bloodborne videos. So glad I found your Elden Ring videos
Thanks for watching both my Bloodborne and Elden Ring videos! I ended up taking my time with the game and don't have much for lore, but I do these weekly(ish) streams.
Is this the voice actor of bock? The castle dwell
Just discovering this now 6 years later, great summation and reading of Maria. It's good to have a female perspective on some of these things I wouldn't I have thought of myself. Reminds me of Honey Bat's amazing video on The Visceral Femininity of Bloodborne.
What if u kill the chapel dweller, does she give still birth?
Now, after the latest update, most of which consists of a rather expensive DLC, it's still quite a disappointment compared to what they promised until the last moment. And yet many gaming magazines and such have named Cyberpunk2077 game of the year, again, almost immediately. And I don't think that's because these people were bribed, ass kissers or anything, I think they just don't want to admit to themselves that they were fooled. Everyone WANTED the game to be a masterpiece, but we always felt it was a bit too ambitious. So who are we going to blame? Do you want to hate your beloved developer? The saint? We can't blame keanu reeves for getting sucked into this, right? Who's to blame then? Or can we just say, "It's not the game of the century, but no one really expected it to be anyways?" If Ubisoft or EA released a game like this, with the same hype, then people might call it "too good to be true", but most people might just say "what else did you expect" and rip it to shreds. Half the hype and it would be even worse. But in this case, we wanted it to be great, we wanted to give them another chance, and another, and another. After all, we don't want them to close and bury the Cyberpunk or Witcher franchise with them. But the marketing and finished product contradiction might be the biggest scam I have witnessed in gaming, because of the scale of the company behind it And since they made their money by marketing alone, I fear this is going to have a really bad influence on the industry
So cosmologically speaking these dreams are like flat worlds stacking on top of each other or exist as entirely separate planets in the cosmos? Is it like the Painted Worlds in Dark Souls which are new worlds painted into reality? Either way this was an interesting video!
You did great with Rellana, used to watch your Bloodborne videos
Very good Job!
Thank you!
Little thing you missed, its likely that the hunter's nightmare made her weaker, Kos's form of retribution and torture was to force her to rely on the blood blades she detested, and yet, like everything she sought to achieve in life, no matter her effort the world kept it's boot on her neck, her master thought of her as little more than a nice body, her hunting career ending in her murdering hundreds of innocents and defiling Kos's body, and her attempt to help the patients meant nothing, everything she worked so hard for and it all ended with her own suicide. Her pressure blades cast away, the patients she cared for all doomed to die horrible deaths. Its not a coincidence she's so close to the living failures. her life was a failure, but not for lack of effort.
Although this is a great video, you did miss something, you can save her, you can get an umbillical cord from iosefka after killing Rom
iosefka having a third umbilical cord doesn't affect Arianna's safety though
@@Michela I mean, theoretically it does? This might be a lack of experience issue because I’ve never been heartless enough to send Arianna to Iosefka, but I’m pretty sure Iosefka will still drop an umbilical cord if Arianna is “safe” in Oedon Chapel. Arianna’s great one child is going to be stolen away regardless so, unless I’m just plain wrong, Arianna should be able to be saved? Or at least not killed for the true ending
My God, I'm in love with those videos even several years after they've been released. It's such an amazing job.
That makes me happy to hear! It has been a long time, but these are the videos that make me the most proud.
hi! i loveeee this videos breakdown of everything so much! did the figure come with a certificate of authenticity?
Great job on the vid!
Thank you so much!
great video, also love how similar your name is to Miquella 😂
Thank you so much! I love Miquella from everything we know about them, so it's been a fantastic experience to share such a similar name.
Wow thanks for the clarification that you call them he/they and she/they! Not really! Completely unnecessary and there literally no point in pointing it out. Idc of you call them he or she. You only pointed it out to get internet brownie points from the weirdos who actually care about that stuff
Some how I don't think Miquella would care about pronouns lol Great vid, thank you for your thoughts! You mentioned you're still in your first play through... welcome to the asylum XD
I believe Miquella set a lot of things in motion to get to the Shadowlands. He has Melania and Mohg guarding two parts of himself in order to prevent anyone from following him. I believe that both of them are being controlled by him due to the charming powers he has. After all, why fight your enemy when you can just convince them to do what they want? I also believe he's the most similar to his mother Marika, considering how many people she's decieved and conquered.
That's an interesting take. However, I wouldn't say he'd choose to have someone like Mohg "protecting" him, especially since I have a feeling that he'd be aware of how Mohg was in general. It's no secret that he was vying for power himself. I get the sense that Malenia wasn't loyal to him for his charm but instead because of the special bond they had. Mohg was charmed to the point of obsession. He stole Miquella's egg while he was still in a pupa state and unresponsive, which, again, is something nobody would choose. I suppose we'll see when the DLC comes out.
@@Michela I kind of wish there was a betting system to see which theories end up being right or not. That would be a lot of fun!
@@dadevi It actually would! I'd love to watch and see how it pans out.
I'll go further. I think most Tarnished and Demigods are being controlled by Miquella in some fashion, as well as others. Ensha, for example.
@@VAL420 That's such a fascinating theory. I'm excited to see whether this is true when we get the DLC!
Michela... you mean miquella
I know it's confusing lol. Michela is my name and I'm here to talk about Miquella Elden Ring.
im thinking Trina is in the Haligtree. And Im pretty sure Miquella is trying to recreate what his mother did to become a god. I think Miquella is supposed to mirror Marika and we will find the age Marika came from had its own issues. after the dlc i expect we will still be debating if he was being selfish or not.
One of the hardest bosses in the game? Did we play the same game?
He/they pronounce? Are you ok?
The question is: Are you okay? Miquella and St. Trina are the same. No one knows St. Trina's gender, and argue in game that St. Trina is a boy or a girl. This isn't a stretch considering Radagon and Marika are the same person.
@@dadevi I added in the section to reduce confusion. I'm confident Miquella and St. Trina are the same, but they present as a different genders so I wanted to be cognizant of that so that people understood what I was talking about. People are, predictably, being very normal about it.
I believe it was smoughtown or square table gaming that first mentioned this in their trailer coverage but the soldiers for the unseen war are all masked more like it's an execution. There's no honor no glory no Fame to be gained from this war because it is just a slaughter of Innocents. I get that vibe when I hear a war that couldn't be put to song, there's no glorious tale to sing just misery and blasphemy.
Yes, I completely agree with this take.
Missed the lore reading
What surprises me the most is that with Fromsoft we should never take things for granted 😁 Before the first gameplay trailer, the introduction of Messmer and the Land of Shadow.. i was 100% sure the dlc was gonna be centered around Godwyn.. that black rotted erdtree we saw in the first teaser image looked like the one raising from his corpse too. Now, after both the gameplay trailer and this last story trailer he is not even mentioned or seen once, instead we got new characters and almost a completely new plot.. except for Miquella who is still as enigmatic as ever. In this trailer the narrator is most likely that blonde woman knight who kneels in front of Miquella's rune, she says Miquella abandoned everything.. " his golden flesh, his blinding strenght ", so.. if we really will have to fight him.. could it be what is left of him? The "things" he abandoned born as a new entity? Could St. Trina instead of Miquella's alter ego be this? So many questions While i see all the similiarities with Griffith, i still want to believe that Miquella is indeed kind and benevolent, even tho the Bewitching Branch description and the Castle Sol eclipse stuff are SUS AF You know we are both into Yu-gi-oh, and Miquella's cocoon got me thinking back to when the pharaoh uses the 3 god cards to travel to the world of memories, it was not a real time travel to the past, the events that happened 5000 years ago still remained valid, it was the final shadow game set up by Bakura/Zork.. ( at least this is what i came to think by watching the anime, i still need to read the manga but still ) so could we do a similar thing? Like, to access the dlc we are going to touch the withered arm from the cocoon, is the corpse inside still alive? Dreaming? Do we enter the dream? Like the Hunter's Nightmare? Miyazaki said "The DLC will use a separate leveling system borrowed from Sekiro" In an interview with Famitsu, but that got me puzzled, are our levels and builds even gonna matter? Maybe since it's a dream, our character is gonna dream too so they are gonna start anew in the world of shadow? And ultimately, are our actions ever gonna change the state of that cocoon? if from it is gonna emerge another orphan of kos-like being and we will have to fight it, will it be "the things that Miquella abandoned"? Or maybe corrupted by Mohg's influence? Soo many questions Coming back to Godwyn i bet he is indeed in the dlc, Messmer while bein the "poster boy" i got a feeling won't actually be the final boss but we shall see There is also another thing... this might sound stupid but... if you preordered the base game 2 years ago you get " The Ring " gesture, where our character creates a circle/ring with his arms at the top of his head, now with this dlc if we preorder we are gonna get "Miquella's ring", like you said in the video, same thing as before but this time the ring is on the right side of our body instead of the top. Is this like a pattern? And if so, isn't one missing? A third gesture similar to Miquella's ring but on the opposite side on the left? If one would put all these 3 gesture TOGETHA they would resemble the Elden Ring logo with the circles I know Miyazaki said this is going to be the first and last ER DLC but what if...? Could Godwyn really be absent here and saved for later in a third dlc? Even Dark Souls got multiple dlcs instead of one Still, ER and Shadow of the Erdtree are massive compared to past games so maybe not In "The Books of Knowledge" volume 2 of Elden Ring that came out last year, when talking about the roundtable hold Miyazaki says it's a place outside of time and space but connected to the erdtree, that's why when the erdtree burns the roundtable burns aswell, however when asked as to WHY the roundtable exists Miyazaki replied that it is something they decided not to touch in THIS game, but that the two fingers plays a key role in it. Was this a hint to new roundtable lore in the dlc? ...or future installments like Elden Ring 2? Wall of text aside, amazing work Michela!! almost 17 minutes of video but it passed like a breeze, again so many questions but the wait is almost over!
This is such an insightful comment! The story trailer raised as many questions as it answered. I'm fascinated as to the idea of the DLC expanding on Godwyn, but now it seems clear it's going to be about exploring the Realm of Shadows, learning more about Mesmer, and finally solving more of the puzzle that is Miquella (hopefully.) The Roundtable Hold is still a concept I don't fully understand (even though your description helps) but it would be interesting to see Shadow of the Erdtree expand upon it further.
2 years it doesn't feel that long also good to see you making Soulsborne lore again :)
Thanks!
@@Michela It's alright 😊
Time to enjoy this once as it’s putting me to sleep (it’s 3 am here) and then again properly with the morning coffee. Thank you for sharing your hard work and thoughts with us Michela!
Thank you so much for watching, and I appreciate you making time even if it's 3 am! I hope you have a great night.
Rad
Thank you Jarvis!
Thanks for this Michela!
I'm really excited to share this. I'm excited to watch your trailer analysis next too! Thanks also for your absolute wealth of lore videos. I'm finally lifting my personal embargo on watching Elden Ring lore and I've been watching the long-form videos while drawing lately. I love them.
Just some knowledge which I only recently learnt. A single issue is a comic A group of 4 pr more issues is a graphic novle
Don't forget the fifth character who recognizes our scent! The Impostor Iosefka :)
Dang, this was amazing. Thank you. ❤️
have you played alan wake 2? i still dont have a ps5 so its going to be a while before i can lol.
I haven't yet! I was hoping to play it before Shadow of the Erdtree but then I had to take a hiatus to take care of my dad. I'll play it eventually then!
@@Michela well at least we both have something in common..we are just playing elden ring still
@@Shad0wmoses I love that for us. I often feel a little self conscious about it, but then someone will drop by the stream to say they wish they could be playing Elden Ring for the first time again and it warms my heart.

I just recently bought the boxed set and this video was very informative. Thank you.
I'm glad that helped!

Ci frats on burni g the erdtree :). On the person who burnt it but failed in the past was very likely to be Melina. Her hands are burnt which indicates she tried to burn it.
Yes, you're right! Smoughtown mentioned it in his video as well.
still watching BB content in 2024
I'm glad to see it!
Happy 18 years channel!!! 🎊🎂💐🎉 Time to enlist this channel. Let's go America!!! 🇺🇸 🔫🧨🎖️
My channel is too soft to enlist. Instead I'm here to thirst on Elden Ring bosses!
Where did you get the millennium ring?
I got it on Etsy! I don't think the seller is selling it anymore but you might be able to find one there.
