I think what makes Ansbach such a compelling and memorable character too is not only the fact that the supposed crazed Lord of Bloods most devout follower is a well mannered old man who seeks to understand what’s going on first rather than simply jump to violence and honestly exudes honor like no other npc in my eyes. We kill his lord and he is so pragmatic about it all and holds literally no ill will towards us, calling the entire thing basically a fair duel and outcome.

The new outer god talisman has a depiction of an erupting volcano but within the eruption is the shape of a woman. Right as I grabbed the talisman in game, I thought of the formless mother. Because the creatures that "guard" or inhabit the ruins where said talisman is found are worshipping the formless mother. They do the exact same thrusting spear move into the sky that Mohg does to pierce the mother. It made me also think about how the outer gods are probably akin to those Japanese spirits that people have brought up before.

@@k2geekd the description doesn't say anything about the hornsent. It says "a clan, who lost everything in the great fires" that could be any of the different groups that were burned by Messmer. They also don't look into a deity and see something twisted. It says "the peered into their ancestors corpse, normally an act of sanctity and saw in its shadow a twisted deity" It says nothing about the formless mother either. The talisman looks like a volcano erupting though and is found in the prospect town inhabited by the creatures who are doing the same ritual spear thrusting as mohg does. It's just my theory on why it's placed there and why the talisman looks like it does. This theory is actually stemming from a bigger theory that another channel put forth. That Lyndell was once a massive volcano. It's a very long theory so I won't go more into it but that is why when I saw that the Outer God heirloom had a volcano deity on it and was near creatures who worship the formless mother, I was very intrigued and wanted to mention my findings. I think next time you want to try and get a gotcha "did you read the description?" You should, in fact look up and actually read the description for yourself. I've been reading every item description as I pick up the items so far, so I definitely would have remembered if it said anything about the "hornsent" specifically.

I couldn't help but notice all the empyreans are cruel and wicked to Godfrey's kids. Ranni kills Godwyn for no damn reason, Miquella bodysnatched and reverse groomed Mohg. Morgott got treated like trash even though he was holding down Leyndell for mom. The omen twins were forced to live in the damn sewers while we got monsters like Rykard, Miquella, and Ranni running lose ruining the Lands Between for selfish reasons. This DLC just proved what I already knew...that all of Godfrey's kids were the best demigods and they were done dirty just like their dad was. Ansbach, in addition to being the best character in the DLC, was a refreshing twist and I was so happy to see the "good" npc wasn't just some fair maiden but a blood knight. He implies Mohg was enchanted for a while, and I can't help but think a lot of the bloody finger murder cult nonsense was done on Miquella's behalf to open the Land of Shadows. Meanwhile you have Lady Knight Leda who simps harder for Miquella than a Taylor Swift fan. She's a murderer and a deranged zealot who has the audacity to refer to Miquella as "the kind" after what he did to Mohg, Radahn, and presumably Malenia as well.

One interesting thing about Ansbach is if you remove his helmet, he has no Blood eyes. Hinting that perhaps the Injection of Mohgs blood to his followers came to be after Miquella was stolen aka when Mohg was charmed.

What I find curious is the link between flies, pots, and the Formless Mother. We use fly mold to make four different hefty pots, and the Ailing Village is full of fly-men (upon whom fly mold grows), and the only hornsent residing in the Ailing Village uses Swarm of Flies against us when we find him near the Ailing Talisman. Clearly the Formless Mother uses bloodflies as a medium, but how does she relate to the fly-men? They spit poison, not blood. It seems a bit vague to me. Is the ailing disease a manifestation of all plagues and status ailments since the Ailing Talisman reduces the effectiveness of those recently encountered? If so, is the Formless Mother the source for all ailments, including the Scarlet Rot and Poison and such? I do not think that is true, but it is all a bit murky to me.

I’m probably missing some information cuz I haven’t combed through all the new lore, but it’s been a running theory of mine that Miquella may have posed as the Formless Mother in Mohg’s dreams using his powers as St Trina and either bewitched Mohg that way or, under the guidance Miquella pretending to be the Formless Mother, Mohg becomes bewitched the moment he’s in proximity of Miquella

When I first encountered Ansbach and he talked about how he failed Lord Mohg I thought he was some old coward who fled after this whole bloody finger shenanigans took over the dynasty, but the guilt ate him alive so he decided to get back to look into the matter and eventually avenge Mohg (probably against us)… And what a fool I was

Pretty happy with the DLC. I love the atmosphere and world design. I've noticed that they have really upped their game on hiding things just out of site. Like if you look 20 more degrees to the right you'll see it but if you keep walking forward a pickup, leaver or door is sometimes easy to miss. I also find that the landscape can be difficult to remember sometimes so I will forget about things I had found before, only to rediscover them again. The base game had that effect for me but that was just due to raw size. The dlc does it more with level design. I remember often getting way lost but I kept charging forward cause I was like, I know there is more to discover and the only way to discover it is by going deeper in. Which gets to my main complaint. Too many sites of grace. The level design would sometimes have 3 right next to each other and it was like, you could have just put an elevator, door or ladder to kick down to link these areas with one site of grace. I also felt that Godfrey was due at least some back story and that Godwyn was also too absent from the story for my tastes. I suppose Radagon as well but he was so prominent in the base game that I'm fine with them leaving him out of the back story. The rot god and the formless mother also had some moments but I felt they could have had more. Kinda surprised there wasn't a blue dancer mausoleum to match the red dancer one.

The blue dancer/blind swordsman looked like he was being set up as a DLC boss, Godwyn got three knights and one of them already being dead. At least there's now a new mystery over just what his "surrogate corpse" is, the specific visage of death that refers to also has a third eye.

Its intriguing that Miquella can still charm people even if hes in an unresponsive state like with Mohg you'd think he'd have to be responsive to charm people so this begs to question who's body is in the cocoon since miquella was apparently discarding his body bit by bit in the Shadow Realm

I feel like now I’m gonna question the when of these events. When did Miquella charm Mohg, how much was Mohg acting on his own influence. Was it from the beginning, like telepathy and he never built everything. Personally, I imagine it similar to Anasbach- his enchantment was his own fault. He tried to take Miquella for his dynasty and then it got turned on him. I don’t take Miquella’s charm as mind control, you’re still you, it works differently on everyone and more acts as a moral compass. You’re still you, you just act more in compassion. But that’s just my thoughts
@CJusticeHappen21

Maybe it was a mercy. Of a sort. Mohg was unjustly treated by Golden Order Society, his own family, and his own Mother. And yeah, having his soul discarded by Miquella sure sounds foul. Yet, Mohg was already in thrall to the Formless Mother, and he was running around with the likes of the Blood Fingers, long before Miquella captured his heart. Who can say what sort of condition his soul was in? All of this is to say that while Mohg was abused, and he was used only for his body, he was never a Saint. He was going to come to a foul end, one way or another. Even Ansbach knows this, despite himself.

Reminder that Bloody Fingers willingly serve him, he didint force them to join him, Achbach doesent have blood eyes wich means Mohg started his Blood injection thing and the kidnaping of war surgeons after Miquella had charmed mohg. So basicly what the dynasty was before Miquella... was just a optional to join group.

I've been thinking about the location where we enter the Shadowrealm, the egg, Mogwyn Palace. It seems like perhaps this underground location serves as a special portal or connection site. Also Miquella went to get trouble to get down there, so clearly teleporting to the shadow realm from Haligtree wasn't an option. This makes me think of the Nox; perhaps (due to being underground folk) they had a close connection to the shadow realm. Enough of a connection to even travel there with the fingerslayer blade and potentially cause that gaping wound in Metyr.. which possibly also caused her wifi disconnection from the Greater Will, and their banishment? Also these locations of "connecting to another dimension" seem to be always accompanied by petrified human figures, as we also see at the Gate of Divinity. It makes me wonder: are the Nox basically just the Numen? We know they are both from "other place" or something. Maybe the Nox are simply Numen/Shamans (descendants of Marika) who managed to escape from being pickled in the shadow land. If the Nox are the Numen, and close relatives of Marika, this might also explain why they had certain grudges against various parties.

I guess that could mean when they said he was divested of grace, that was when marika joined radagon.
