Elden Ring and the 7 Heavenly Virtues

So, correction, Nokron and Noksella still both have their night skies, so neither were the one directly assaulted by Astel. The Eternal City directly under the Erdtree, however, lacks a false sky and is visibly in a state of disrepair (and conveniently flooded so we can't see meteor impacts). This makes it the most likely target of Astel. As for why the Fingerslayer Blade is in Nokron? They moved it when Astel landed. They picked it up, and moved it elsewhere. Because its a physical knife that can be moved.

Huh, five of these actually line up incredibly well. Charity for Elden Beast is a little more arguable, and Chastity for Astel is... uh, did you never notice all the larval forms of Astel hanging from the ceiling around Siofra and Ainsel? It's pretty obvious that string of beads is laying eggs all over the place.

I think Fia's "laying with the dead" is a way to bring them back to life, I believe she explains it somewhere when talking to her... I think her goal was to bring Godwyn new life or some sort of peace to his body, and that makes me think she actually quite values life hence why she is so protective of Those Who Live in Death

The fact that Godfrey is on this list of virtues is funny to me, because he always reminded me of Samson from the Bible. First of all, he tears apart a lion, which Samson is specifically quoting as having choked out (or something like that) with his bare hands, he has long locks of hair (which are important to Samson's story, and seems to be at the focal point of the beard in Godfrey's case, compared to Samson's scalp hair), and he's simultaneously a man of temperance and wrath. He also has superhuman strength, which Hoarah Loux obviously parallels, given his clearly very primal moveset and his ability to cause shockwaves and explosions simply by stomping and slamming the ground. Such is my case as to why I think Godfrey/Hoarah Loux is an Elden Ring equivalent to the biblical Samson.

For Astel I think he's less created BY the Greater Will, and moreso made by the stars, which are the lack of gods in most cases, hence Naturalborn of the Void. Especially considering the starcaller beasts, baby Astel creatures, and second Astel, they're more of a species. I think what the Greater Will did was SEND one to the Eternal City, which caused chaos to ensue. They're just a dangerous, destructive, godless monster that was used as a weapon.

I love that Marika keeps being like "Ok we're gonna need a lot of fire so build a fucking GIANT fire machine." and the God of Fire is like 👀"for me?" Like lady you need to stop building enormous elemental monuments if you dont wanna fuck around with other gods

I get Godfrey as temperance. The virtues are meant to overcome the sins so therefore the sin must be there to over come. Godfrey suppressing his wrath literally via serosh and figuratively by losing his purpose and still being faithful to Marika is displaying temperance. Also you only beat Godfrey when he succumbs back to his old wrathful self and reverting his growth in way

The reason Astel is the “Natural Born of the Void” and “Stars of Darkness” is because “Astel” likely isn’t the beings name, “Astel” seems to just be the fully grown version of the Fallingstar Beasts, and ironically the “Full Grown Fallingstar Beast” proves this, as you can see a little Astel skull on their head, this explain why there are multiple Astels and not much else

As far as I understand, the Astels are a species, because you see a lot of them in various stages of development in Elden Ring. I dont think, they directly serve the greater will, but were perhaps just very beneficial to its causes, so it sent a number of them to the lands between (because the Craters where the fallingstar beasts are in, as well as the arenas for the cave bosses, have golden fragments in them.

There are many "Astel" around the land (like the one in the Altus Tunnel) and we know that "Astel" is the final evolution form of the Fallingstar Beast. Perhaps "Natural born of the void" simply means this particular Astel was allowed to fully mature from Fallingstar Beast to Astel while in space before he was sent down to the Land Between. As for why there are two Astels, my head theory is that the "Star of Darkness" Astel is the one that destroyed the city of the Nox and not the "Natural born of the void" (If you took away the false "night sky" of the Nox, you'll be left with darkness since they're underground).

Next episode : Elden ring and the 7 discord mods

I love that you used the ash lake music for placisdusax

It's always easier to find sins then virtues

Can’t believe I caught this so early, lol. Nice continuation of the theme!

W vid here is some money Keep up the GOATED work

I love the editing in this video, that shot of D throwing a rock directly at the screen was cool

Personally I think fortisaxx should be dilingence because he stuck by Goldwyn and was then inflicted with death blight

oh hey! Finally someone makes someone about the virtues! Great work on this!

Just a little correction, Marika's "betrayal" is more likely her banishment of him, as she tasks him to consume all the deathroot that was unleashed on the world, which she obviously knew was impossible. His inescapable hunger is a product of Marika, and thus she betrayed him and abandoned him

i absolutely love hearing your theories, especially the marika one. what if marika let the night of the black knives happen because she saw godwyn and lanseax as a threat, bringing in a different ancient dragon order or something? fascinating. thanks for this video and all the others, would love to see more!
