The Age of The Duskborne Explained: Marika ruled over the Lands between when she withdrawned destined death, After she won Every War. So there is no Wars, There is no Change. With the Golden Order established It can be read as The Current Idea of the World and Order will never die. This is seen as Spirits roam the Lands Between and are lead to the Erdtree to be reborn into the same order as the same person they were. Death does not exists if you are yourself after death and if the world stays the same. When the Mending Rune of Death (Godwyn) is added to Order, they break this idea of constancy. Order will change. The Dead will have a future chosen by themselves. Death is a part of Life and Change is the only constant. Like this, Godwyn witch is soulless can live as a new Body and a New Person. Those that rejected Death and Reincarnation can move foward without needing to start anew. They can have a new start with the experiences they gained and face change however they see fit as long as they to not die.

1) The Greater Will isn't an Outer God. In the original Japanese translation of the text, the term Outer God refers to those gods as being outside of the Golden Order; circumstantial evidence makes it pretty clear that the Greater Will (if it even exists) is very different from the Outer Gods, both substantially and on a power level scale. 2) The ring Melina picks up from the ground in the Frenzied Flame ending is actually Torrent's whistle. That being said, the video is phenomenal, just like all the rest of your work. Keep up the good work, mate, you deserve all the credit you're getting for it!

While term of Outer God might not be right term to use for the Greater Will, we have plenty of evidence that not only the Greater Will exists (Hyetta, The Elden Beast itself, etc) but that other “Outer” gods function similar to it. Especially sending Envoys of the wills ( Twin bird’s Outer god and Death birds) with the Fingers and the Elden Beast. Not to mention the connection with Empyreans and needing a physical vassal for their Order ei Marika ( Malenia with the Rot god, Miquella with the Formless mother, Ranni, etc). Whatever the Greater Will should be called, it’s pretty obvious it’s very similar to the other Outers Gods. Calling it God would be the more appropriate way to describe it as it is THE god as of now, however due to how Marika is also referred to as god. The Greater Will very much like the Outer Gods would like to know evidence you have to make this claim.

fwiw the actual philosophy of nihilism, as expressed by someone like camus, is somewhat close to the description of the age of the moon- not a world devoid of meaning, but one in which meaning must come from within, and be created by one's will and one's own actions. meaning that is not a prison but a home, a city, a construct
@thesnatcher3616

The idea of meaning coming from within? Isn't that just Jean paul Sartre's model of existentialism? Where due to the "god-shaped" hole in our hearts, yet the alleged absence of a God, people must create their own meaning day by day? It also seems a bit similar to Nietzche as well. Although he believed the human needed to overcome something and obtain a sense of total dominance and independence as the "meaning", if one chooses to interpret it that way.

@@thomasstone3480 Makes sense. I feel like current history classes underemphasize the sheer impact WWII had on our contemporary culture, whether it may be pop, ideaological, and societal. It wasn't just six million Jews that were killed. The rest of the Jewish community and the rest of the western world were left with scars that still exist today. And the moral panic of the Cold War just made things worse. Not to mention, Nazis sort of became the new "devils" in our day to day language. Everytime someone does something that on person doesn't like, or defends an idealogy that they disagree with, they either call them "Nazis 2.0" or "Orwellian"(something to do with 1984). Instead of our pop culture heroes fighting demons and devils(or some other equivalent), we(at least in America) fight Nazis and gun them down en masse. Just watch movies like Indiana Jones. It's so weird to think of a world where NONE of this really exists. But as for thoughts on Sartre myself, I am inclinded to disagree with it rather strongly, partially due to my preference for St. Aquinas' "Natural Law"(something Ceave forgot to mention!!! CS Lewis did not come up with!) where a God DOES exist, but also due to how while Sartre's theory sounds nice on paper, it doesn't really do much for a person who's inherent moral character can be described as "less then socially acceptable". Sartre himself, along with his pseudo wife, allegedly molested a large number of his students, with his wife's help. And I very much doubt his ideals in this matter really did much to hinder him. There was a whole memoir released from one of his victims I think. Existencialism sounds nice, but it doesn't lend itself to create a form of discipline and order that the individual may not already possess. It assumes that humans will always make the right choice I feel. Maybe I'm misinterpreting though. But the idea of creating new meaning can easily be abused and doesn't create a situation where an indvidual can be called out on. But I guess Natural Law can be the same as people, even in the Christian worldview, constantly disobey it and don't care about ramifications of said disobedience. Not to mention it might get a little too close to a form of "utilitarianism" if it's enforced. Idk though. I'm still young and I'm still learning.

@@thesnatcher3616 ultimately i think if you judge a philosophy by the worst actions of its adherents, none of them come out well- for me, i find the idea of an external and absolute morality uncompelling, and that the politics of most of the people i find most harmful in the world are informed by at least a claimed belief in some absolute external standard that allows them to enforce their ideal of a rigid and 'natural' status quo upon the most vulnerable. obviously, you are correct that there's nothing intrinsic about existentialism or nihilism that means the self-derived morality of it can't be grievously wrong, but within myself at least i think i can argue from first principles why i think x or y is moral based on what i see and think and feel and not external dogma that feels frequently inconsistent with decency and humanity
@thesnatcher3616
5 ай бұрын
@thomasstone3480 I see. Although, going by that logic, no form of any law can be posited as it may infringe upon the individual as it all depends on how one defines an absolute standard. Absolute standard in the context of law? man? indivdual? Or God? On the topic of God, again, there are differing views on his role in terms of morality. Will he lead us to the correct morality? Is their a natural conciouness? What is natural and what isn't? Not to mention, you're assuming that you have no subconscious external dogma of your own that may either supplement or poison some of your judgments. How much of external dogma is in reality, subconous dogma? If anything, the idea and value of an individual can be seen as an absolute "value." In fact, by what standard is "being harmful" to the world "harmful" at all? Surely, there is some benefit being gained by those in power who seek to suppress the marginalized. Obviously, both you and I will say this is wrong. Why do we say so? Because people are suffering? Because of empathy? But who is to say we should be governed by empathy at all? What about people who feel no such thing? Or negotiate said empathy away for some other dogma? I feel like for so many people, it really is just one dogma vs. another Dogmas vs. Dogmas. Ideas vs ideas. Morals vs. Morals. My point is that no one can truly live without imposing some form of standard upon either themselves or others. Everyone is informed by some kind of external dogma. Have you ever asked yourself why you think that decency and humanity even matter? Perhaps it may just "feel right." A lot of other things may feel right for some people, yet we condemn them. And you wouldn't do everything that felt right either for the "good of humanity." But why do you even consider the good of humanity to inform a "moral" action? Perhaps enforcing said oppresive policies that undermine decency and humanity felt right to them? Not to mention, are you not going against your initial claim of categorizing the worst actions of an adherent to an ideaology to check it's validity being a bad methodology(which I would agree with), yet you condemn those who hold the ideaology who hold an external standard that is to be enforced or coerced(physically, rationally, etc.) as also being heinous, and use that to form your opinion on it. But you have granted that it is for you and you alone. And in case you're wondering, yes, I caught your subtext. I know exactly what you are referring to. Especially in the midst of our country's political jungle. Odd since you brought it up, as I mentioned Thomas Aquinas. But I will not put words into your mouth. I am not really debating. I probably can't debate you and win. I am still young and learning. I'm just spitballing and holding ideas up to scrutiny.

The way I interpreted Fia's ending was that before Marika removed the rune of death from the Elden Ring, there were a people who lived as undead (known as Those Who Live In Death) and were labeled heretics simply for existing since as they revived before the rune of death was removed, they weren't able to be revived in the "holy" way like all of the other characters were. As a result, they were hunted by the Golden Order to ensure that only the Erdtree's resurrection method existed. I'm not sure if Fia herself lives in death, but I believe she made the mending rune to replace the Erdtree's resurrection with undeath since it's not inherently bad, it's just frowned upon by the current ruling class. Thematically, it could be considered to be similar to a different religion that believes in rebirth after death (I'm not going to try and pin a specific one because I don't know enough about them) that's not the current accepted ruling religion and thus is othered simply for existing.

Elden Ring is a mishmash of legendary books that came before it, the lord of the rings series, and the eternal champion series. Both series reveal that the powerful object everyone is fighting over is a corrupting force, set to destablize. The Eternal Champion series goes a step further and posits that the protagonist is out to balance Chaos and Order, and will fight on either side depending on which side has the most power at the time.

I noticed the "two fingers + three fingers = a complete five fingered hand" thing myself, but then quickly discounted it for two reasons. First: This only works if you exclusively count the two Finger things you the player personally interact with. But doing so would be pretty arbitrary, because there are definitely more Finger things out there, such as the one Ranni kills, and the dead ones inexplicably decaying on top of towers. If you count those as well- and I see no reason you shouldn't, the world doesn't revolve around your character's personal journey after all- then the math doesn't work out so nice. Second: Sure, a standard human hand has five fingers. But continuing along the human anatomy comparison route, standard human hands come in pairs. So if you're going with some sort of "hands of the creator" concept, then where's the other hand worth of fingers? It wouldn't make sense to be the other dead fingers, because they all seem to be two-fingered Finger things. And no amount of pairs will add up to the five remaining fingers needed for another hand. Though if you discount the odd thing out with three fingers, (which doesn't seem entirely arbitrary since it seems to be the one rebel of the group... probably?) than five two-fingered Finger things could combine to make a proper pair of hands' worth of fingers. In which case... alive or dead, just how many two-fingered Finger things were in the game again? And one last smaller issue: If you're smashing the fingers together into one hand, then the palm parts should be similarly additively combined, and I can't help but feel like combining the two palms of the two and three Fingers as they are would make for a weirdly wide hand.

I think constructivism is another way you could understand the different endings' responses to nihilism. Basically the idea that reality is not so much an objective truth, but is shaped by how we go about thinking about reality in the first place, including our values regarding what should and shouldn't be.

Awesome Video! I think the game essentially is Marika’s story of survival. It seems the current god of an age has to die or vacate to an Empyrean for a new era to begin. The player killing the Erdtree Beast ends the Greater Will’s control over Marika's "destined death" I think this is why we see so many dead finger readers in Leyndell because they predicted her death, possibly that a Tarnished will ursurp her. Also why Godfrey gets to the Erdtree before us. I think Marika intended Godfrey as a Tarnished made by her to become her consort cheating the prophecy but the player wins instead

Regarding the Elden Beast's sword, I thought that was Radagon / Marika's body that the beast repurposed for its weapon (hence the twisting blade design). And the hilt resembles the Radagon statues we see in a few places in the game. I thought it was fitting given Ranni's desire to not be used as a tool for the Greater Will, as failing to defeat us at the end resulted in the Elden Beast (and by proxy the Greater Will) throwing out all pretense and just straight up using Marika / Radagon as weapon to stop us.

The difference between The Age of The Duskborn's death and The Golden Order's death is that Marika made it so that death doesn't exist and essentially made her own death which only works for those who worship the Golden Order or those given grace and when they die they return to the Erd Tree's roots and be rebirthed. The Duskborn's death I believe is literally just immortality, when you die, you live again in Death. Which may mean to live within death or as death, as a quote unquote "dead" person.

It feels to me like she's getting to know us, and what kind of order we would choose, would represent, to see whether she should help us ascend to be elden lord.

"Some people find meaning in the belief of their own superiority over others, and derive meaning by trying to structure the world around their superiority" - You mention the Germans and Austrians ... who were quite heavily Christian during that time period. They were not following the Enlightenment, they were rebelling against it, seeking to return to god and country. Their viewpoint seems to me to be reflected in their take on Nietzsche. They quote mined everything they wanted about great men, but threw out his anti-fascism stances. Basically Nazi's paid much more attention to Nietzsche's sister than him.

I *think* the idea with the Prince's rune of death ending is that you're incorporating life after death back into the Ring in a way fundamentally different to how it was done by Merika. Merika's version is essentially reincarnation - you die, are taken up into the Erd tree, and are reborn from it. With Godwyn's rune, you die and aren't ever reborn, but still you live on in the way Godwyn does. The real issue is we don't really know how Godwyn lives on after death... we just assume that his soul can't truely die until his body does (thus the comments about him lacking a true death), thus it's alive in some way somewhere. What I always wondered is does that ending leave the world with an ever growing number of zombies? Or does it lead to a Dark Souls type world where everyone goes Hollow in the end?

I think that Goldmask's Ending could maybe be interpreted slightly differently with your lens, (though just in general I love this overall interpretation of the game so far) Goldmask as a person is someone who spent countless hours, days, probably years or even centuries doing nothing but calculating endlessly while staring at the erdtree. And upon realizing the fickleness of the gods, basically omitted them from his 'perfect' order solution. I agree that his ending is meant to represent a doubling down on religious-style dogma, but more specifically I think it is meant to represent a dogma that at least claims to be based in objective morality created by humans rather than anything based on the gods. Essentially I think it suggests that maybe if we sit down long enough and just do the math, we can figure out an objective set of moral rules akin to religious dogma, but instead of being based in unfounded belief in a higher power, it is based entirely on humanity's own beliefs and raw calculus. But of course, goldmask is still merely a man just like anyone else. So while this idea sounds reasonable on paper, it is ultimately up to you if you believe that humanity is even capable of producing such a set of "objective" moral beliefs and if those beliefs should really be applied to everyone everywhere no matter what. I think a very *very* key word here is that it is a rune that *ATTEMPTS* to perfect the golden order. Ultimately, such an attempt is likely futile, but does that mean that we shouldn't even try at all? Or is this idea of trying to create an objective morality flawed to begin with? That is ultimately up to you to decide. --- To Touch on some of the other endings. It seems like the Dung Eater Ending and the Frenzy Flame ending can be seen as sorta parallels but opposites of each other. I think they both represent a Nihilistic belief, acknowledging that the universe has no meaning, but with opposite takeaways from that fact. The Dung Eater Ending basically as you said points out that if everything is equally meaningless then nothing is inherently less meaningful than anything else. There's nothing stopping you from doing whatever you want, so you're free to do anything because there's nothing holding you back. The downtrodden aren't any less important than the upper class because neither was important to begin with. etc etc. So it is the ultimate freedom to just do whatever you want. However it is worth keeping in mind that the Dung Eater is a serial killer who goes around defiling corpses and whatnot so like yeah, it is a philosophy that can be very freeing in many ways and that can be a relief to many people. But it is also a philosophy that basically says that there's no point in worrying about the consequences to your actions because nothing matters so why not become a serial killer. Meanwhile the Frenzy Flame represents true nihilism. Nothing matters. Thus there is no point in life existing at all. We might as well just burn it all down because why even bother trying when the sun is gonna explode and burn it all away someday no matter what. --- And to touch on Fia's ending. I think that it returning the world to a state before the Golden Order is purposeful. I think that the lens of your interpretation basically says that Fia's ending is the true resurrection of god. Or at the very least the belief in the importance of death and the idea of an afterlife. It is an attempt to return to a state of the world before god died. Thus I think that Fia's ending is the opposite of Goldmask's ending. Goldmask seeks to find a perfect set of beliefs and morality based entirely in humanity and scientific knowledge, rejecting the idea of the gods entirely. Meanwhile Fia's ending is to return to the idea of an unknowable afterlife. To give death meaning and to believe in an unknowable higher power once again. In turn maybe we could extend this metaphor to say that "Those who live in death" are those who still cling to their old religious beliefs. (Which I guess makes D into r/atheism lol), they "live in death" because they do not fear their own death due to their belief in death having meaning, the belief in an afterlife. The persecution of those who live in death is essentially the persecution of those who still cling onto those old religious beliefs in a world that has moved on beyond such beliefs. And Fia ending such persecution is returning the world to a state where everyone returns to believing in an afterlife once again. It is a complete regression to the way things used to be. --- Finally, might as well touch on Ranni's ending. I think I pretty much fully agree with your interpretation here. It is a complete rejection of an objective philosophy entirely. The ultimate thing that unifies all of the other endings is that they are attempting to come up with a universal philosophy that everyone should have to follow. Even the Dung Eater's philosophy is that everyone should be allowed to do whatever they want regardless of what anyone else believes. But Ranni's ending is that everyone should have to come up with their own set of moral beliefs, but with the acknowledgement that they might be wrong or contradictory with someone else. It is the acknowledgement that a universal truth may in fact not exist or that it should not exist. As such I guess that this opposes Goldmask most directly who seeks to create the ultimate perfect universal moral philosophy. So like I said when discussing his ending, ultimately which of these two endings you prefer comes down to whether you think a true universal objective morality is possible, or if people should have to figure out a good set of morals for themselves and the context that they live in. And again, it is worth mentioning that Ranni is a person who has killed a ton of people and even acknowledges that her order will result in a lot of people potentially being afraid or even suffering because ultimately it doesn't answer the question of what humanity as a whole should do after the death of god. It says that you should figure it out for yourself. And the things Ranni did are justified to herself as necessary to achieve her goals. But she at least acknowledges that those actions were bad and at least that they had a purpose, whereas again someone like the Dung Eater would say that you should be allowed to do bad things because nothing matters and there doesn't need to be a purpose to justify it.

I feel like goldmasks ending is particularly grim. The greater will, golden order, and maricka are all guilty causing of unimaginable death and suffering. And just look at where that ending leaves Maricka. crucified, broken, and imprisoned. regardless of how bad she was, i dont think Goldmasks ending has much to do with morality. Homie is a freak. A very extreme religious ascetic. I think its just dogma from him. Blind adherence to the order and faith. i have alot of theories on this and none of them are very good. I vibe with Rannis ending the most. its just a return to a more natural order i think. the uncertainty of it is the scary part. Ranni got her hands dirty, but i think it pales compared to what the order and maricka have done.
@BlazeMakesGames

well yeah I mean I think that there are very charitable ways to interpret goldmask's ending, but at the end of the day it is ultimately about enforcing a dogma created by one man who was devoted to the previous order. Sure it may now exclude what was considered problematic in the past, (the gods) and is rooted in mathmatics. But it is still ultimately a dogma created by a single man and their beliefs of what is right and wrong, and as such is also colored heavily by their belief in the previous order. It " attempts to fix" the previous order but based on one's own view of things that order may not be worth trying to salvage. And for all we know Goldmask's own philosophies may not be that great. Plus by claiming to be "perfect" that means that if anyone ever finds a flaw between now and forever, then the entire thing collapses in on itself and falls apart and now we're back to square one until someone else tries to find a better solution. In that sense I guess you could view it as progress in a way, going through intervals of trying to come to a solution, breaking apart the old one, and improving upon what didn't work. But it feels like a very unstable one. With each new order claiming to be even better than the previous one and this time it'll surely last forever, only for it to eventually crumble like all the rest.

As I understand the Lore, people did die, that's what Erdtree burial was meant for - after death we're embraced by the erdtree, then our life is converted. In Layndell there are few places in which life giving erdtree sap is collected - New people are born through this but not from a mother. Life cycle continues. What Runes of those who live in death means for me is that after death You're given a right to live as an undead and not forced to go back into rebirth.

In the case of the Age of the Duskborn ending, which you said you struggled the most to parse, I think I can shed some light on the subject. When you say: “You know, if death does not exist and nothing can truly die, or if death does exist and we live on after our death, it doesn't make much difference to me symbolically -“ Goldwyn was the literal “golden child” of the golden order. Goldwyn was well known for befriending the dragons and it’s very clear that he was beloved by many-he held great affections with the people of the lands between, without needing to “compel” them like Miquella. Miquella had a very close bond with Godwyn and I believe that is why they are so similar. Godwyn was the only Demigod of War (Godfrey/Marika) that wasn’t a “tainted” birth (ala the Royal Omens or Miquella and Melania’s Curses). Basically Godwyn represented a peace within the golden order (Religion) that would have successfully forged THROUGH war, Or conquest . How ironic then, for Marika’s “Peace” murdered directly because of the Order SHE had established. Erdtree Burial is how the Golden Order recycles souls to be used in new births. Without the Rune of Death in the Elden ring, the rule is there’s no death, this how we get spirits wandering the land and Those Who Live in Death. Spirits are one thing, they’re ethereal. But to Live In Death is too close to blasphemy, too much a painful reminder of the destined death the order wants to escape. Godwyn however is now the Prince of Death. His spirit, his holy will is dead, but his body lives on. The problematic part for the Order. When even the golden child can become One who Lives in Death, Godwyn “vision” of the world *can reasonable be advanced by his followers to be inclusive of death. Unity under a Golden Order, whether you’re a dragon, crucible-pilled, albinauric, and now-Even Dead. Basically, Fia’s Mending Rune makes being Dead 100% Legal, even if you don’t earn or obtain an Erdtree burial. Fia says to Marika, “if you want to make so much death, you must be willing to coddle and nurture the dead your wars birth” This is why I don’t believe the Duskborn ending unleashes destined death at all as far as I know (because that would cease to be the golden order) The Duskborn ending as it relates to the entirety of Eldens Ring’s grand metaphor can be read, in my words, as: “who cares if there is an afterlife in death or not? We shall all be dead together”. It feels like a Christian goth, does that make sense? I dunno. I was writing this a long time and I’m sleep deprived . This is really my favorite Elden ring video of all time so far, great work.👍👍
