Been waiting for weeks for this I prolly listen to your dark souls and blood borne videos like 3 times a week to help me sleep lol
everyone saying that Marika IS radagon while I'm here thinking that maybe and here me out radagon is Marika's twin brother and she fused with him to give her enough power to destroy the elden ring
Damn congrats on the sponsor guys
@@SPACECOWBOY705 Thank you mate! ♥️

Can't wait to fall asleep with this for the next month. It's not to say that it's boring, but i've been sleeping with your DS2 video for months, it's so chill & relaxing, i shut off my mind & fall into the stories & sleep, eventually.
We’re so glad to hear that our videos can be of use, sleep tight my friend! ♥️
So crazy u can sleep to this, but I guess u can sleep to almost anything if your tired enough. Assuming 90% of all this is correct, my main thought as I finish this vid is... what a DAMN shame. I love the mystery of everything in FROM games up to a point. BUT the insane amount of history and events which build this perfect house of cards, with the tarnished as the one to finally topple the fragile, foundational stalemate, NEEDS TO BE IN THE GAME. This is like, 5 MAIN story lines, in one game. Imho, I think they should have taken just a bit of resources of the top, and as a new feature, put a "LORE" option on the main title screen. You go to it and its the Elden Ring Symbol with shiny dots everywhere and the player could unlock each one via a fully finished quest, and when said quest is 100% completed, it unlocks a slideshow (like the intro), but explaining IN DETAIL the quest you finished, and what an accomplished feeling it would be, to unlock all idk, 100 of them, which gives u a final TRUE ENDING, explaining the MAIN beginning and end to the story of the lands between, and your part in it (basically this amazing vid)... of course, I imagine certain KZheadrs would not like this idea, considering they would have to pivot their entire channels, lol.
@@briankeys5941 I'm surprised to hear people saying this. I think most characters are good but as a whole? Nowhere near thier best work. I respect what you said though
You should search for 'lore to sleep to'. There's a channel that narrates game lore in a way specifically meant to fall asleep to.
amen bro
I completely forgot that radahn learned gravity magic so he can still ride his horsey😭
I really like Radahn literally fighting the stars. It kind of gives an air of mythology like how the wolfs chase the moon and the sun in Norse Mythology
Hati chases the moon. Sköll hunts the sun. good lobos
Cú Chulainn in Irish folklore fell under spell and spent his days fighting the waves at the edge of the sea, thinking they were enemies.
What you mean homie?..fighting the stars?......never played.
@@rdeandajr.4856 radahn used his immense knowledge of gravity magic to hold the stars back. At the end of his fight you can see the stars rushing by and blowing a hole in Limgrave. He was quite literally fighting the stars and holding them back. Not a metaphor lol
@@JPoleet thats cool as i know elden ring is heavily inspired by celtic folklore and mythology
You guys quickly became my favorite souls channel, god tier work
Thank you so much, it means a lot coming from you! ♥️
I love Radahn, fought and weakened by Morgott, he was still able to fight Malenia to a stalemate while simultaneously holding back the stars, Dudes a badass 🔥
The fact that male is held her own while barley alive due to Scarlett rot as well deserves some praise she’s a badass also 😊 but yeah radhan was my. Personal favourite boss fight
@@RangabawlzzI hope English is at least your 5th language. Yikes

@@jarlwhiterun7478haha, leave the poor guy alone
This is the most interesting and thorough story explanation I've ever seen for Elden Ring, by far. I'm absolutely blown away by the natural flow of the storytelling you guys deliver in your videos, it takes a deft touch to showcase stories as complex as Fromsoft's and you guys have it mastered!
These videos are so calming that even the fact that the world has gone nuts is an afterthought. Amazing work.
@@_Molecule what
Even after so many hours of chemistry these videos manage to make me relax
11:49 I find it funny how Serosh be chewing Godfey's shoulder. Such council. Very advice. Much wisdom. This happens when someone meditates on mantra ''Omm nomm nomm''
I only recently watched your videos on Darksouls 1, 2 & 3 and thought to myself "Wow, these videos are amazing, I wish he did one for Elden Ring" Perfect timing my friend
Perfect timing indeed, we hope you enjoy the video! ♥️
Now seek Paleblood
I think one of the best ways to play this game is to go through it once, exploring and taking everything in by yourself without guides or videos. After beating it gorge yourself in lore videos, then play through it again. With all the new knowledge and understanding, you have an entirely different appreciation and view of the game. Great video!
that's exactly how i did it. I have finished playthrough one and now i want to now the lore behind it so it will be even more fun to play
Exactly as I am going to do it as well … I played when the game first came out and basically got to the end .. recently picked it back up with the coming of the expansion .. finished it and now today I heard this whole lore video I want to go back and do it ahain
This has helped me understand the story sooo much better and really understand the players (the demigods) and their goals. Love it.
I must say that I'm very happy to have found your channel a few months ago. Your content reminds me of the old school History Channel or Discovery Channel programs that sparked imagination and a thirst for knowledge in me as a kid. I'm still waiting for that one guy with the mega fro from Ancient Aliens to pop up and say "Aliens". Thank you for all your hard work and incredible content, it is much appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving from America.
That is such high praise my friend, we really appreciate it! Happy Thanksgiving from the UK! ♥️
My heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw this in my recommended. What a pleasant turkey day surprise. Keep up the legendary work.
Thank you so much, enjoy the video my friend! ♥️
Finally beat Elden Ring. I promised myself I'd find an awesome video that explained the lore fully when I was done. Thanks for this! 💖
you’re welcome! 🤍
Bro I don't know anyone else who would put this mutch effort into a story of one game, dude you deserve way more subs
Finally! These videos are amazing! If you could eventually upload a lengthy compilation, running the entire Dark Souls series in order, finally ending with this particular Elden Ring video... That would be heaven. The longer; the better. Thank you for your hard work. Your content is remarkable...
Thank you so much my friend, we definitely plan on combining the Dark Souls trilogy into one behemoth of a video at some point haha. ♥️
I haven’t even started and I already hit that like button
Legend! ♥️
@@Thebrotherscode legendary move for a legendary channel
Dang. I’m at thanksgiving with family right now. But you can bet I’m watching this video tonight when I have time
Happy Thanksgiving! ♥️
@@Thebrotherscode thank you! it was nice. hope you’ve been doing well too!
History was something that always sparked my interest. It started with books, then extended to video game lore. Well done on this 😁👍
I love how even though the story is so dark,the way you do these videos is so relaxing. Even the visuals. This is meditation for me
The Erdtree isn’t a manifestation of the Golden Order. The Golden Order was created when the rune of death was removed from the Elden Ring. Further, was SmoughTown stated, outer gods are called outer gods because they’re outside of the Golden Order. He backs this up with Japanese translation from the Japanese lore community. Also, Merica wasn’t the first god the Greater Will chose. You’re forgetting that Placidusax was Elden Lord before Godfrey in the time of the dragons. There’s a more primordial depiction of the Elden Ring in Farum Azula.
Careful with japanese translations with this particular game to to george r.r. martin writing his part in english
the term Elding might not soley belong to the Greater Will, Plac was the Elding Lord of another God
He said that the sword of maliketh was the only tool that prevented rebirth, imagine restarting the game or lose everything each time you get killed by Maliketh 😂
I absolutely love how detailed your videos are, and your voices are so calming too, keep up the amazing work!
Watched this all the way through and I love the ending, with the music and the dialogue, great job
I am on my first playthrough of Elden Ring and I came across your story and I have to say it was awesome! of course, I have seen many videos on this game but, yours was the best even as I play I still haven't really been able to get the full story until now. An in-depth look into each character's life and the way you told it makes it all the more beautiful! Thank you! I will have to check out more of your videos!😊
We’re really glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching! ♥️
Just discovered the other "Story Explained" videos for DS and HERE WE ARE! Christmas came early! :D
These videos are truly works of art. They’re so cinematic and well put together. Your channel is truly a God send and I look forward to other projects you may take on and deliver to us viewers. Great work!
What an amazing video. The best video on Elden Ring lore there is, and what amazing mix of game graphics and audio and voice-over.
This video is amazing. I love Vaati’s videos, but I think these are more straightforward in explaining the whole story. Thank you so much!
It is also said that Melena attacked Radan because he held the stars in place while Mik attempted to resurrect Godywin using the stars I think that is the most likely reason since Mik loved Godywin.
Who is Godywin? Are they related to Godwyn? Is Radan related to Radan? Since when did Miquella become Mikella?
@@Hirotoro4692 Dude really? Names are sometimes difficult to write; leave him alone

I just want to say... I got chills for the last 5 minutes and was the perfect way to end the recap. It reeeaaaally gets me hyped for the DLC.
Im sooooo ready for the dlc as well.
Fantastic work! You managed to make the storyline so linear and understandable. Love it.
Thanks for always pushing to give more lore. It hasn’t gone unnoticed friend.
We appreciate you brother, thank you for watching! ♥️
Another storytelling masterpiece from the boys
If this doesn't win GOTY we riot.
it’s definitely not a perfect game but I agree for sure it is GOTY
It's got hard competition god of war is very good as well
@@karlrichards7188 story wise it’s fucking phenomenal but it plays the same as 2018
@@TheTrueAegonTargaryen the combat is better than 2018 but still pretty much the same, if it’s not broke don’t fix it
@@karlrichards7188 honestly I don’t agree at all, god of war was great but it isn’t on the same level as elden ring
Such perfect timing I saw this, just about to go to sleep and always enjoy falling asleep to these epic lore videos.
Crazy good editing and story telling. God damn
I gotta say, ive been watching all your soul videos throughout the weekend. Its just so fun to listen to. I'm going to see how many i can watch during my work day tomorrow. But awesome job, thanks for all your hard work. Y'all are a awesome team. Ive never played a souls games but boy oh boy do i love the lore. Thanks Again!!!!!
You’re welcome mate, happy to see that you’re enjoying our content. Thank you for watching!
Wicked. Happy holidays! Edit: now that you guys have the whole collection you should do retrospectives on each, or maybe demon souls explained.
We believe there is much more to dig in to with Elden Ring, however Demon’s Souls remains on the horizon! Happy holidays ♥️
I've seen many videos trying to capture the entire story of Elden Ring, but this one has to be the best one yet. As much as I like Vaati, his videos tend to have too much overcomplicated explanations, with main important plotpoints branching out to weirdly unimportant details and distracted ramblings. What you've done here is exceptional - main story and lore beats in chronological order, 'who - when - why' described perfectly. This summary helped me catch up before the DLC and for that you have my thanks.
The end of the video went so hard with the music
This was well put together! I usually watch lore videos on backround but this is well worth a watch. Great lore video guys!
This was such a beautiful video, I only wish it didn't end. Thank you so very much for this, I shall repeat is a few times as the very least, because even though I have played through the game multiple times, I cannot grasp the lore of Elden Ring at all, not like the Souls series. I find the storyline of the Frenzied Flame and the merchant rebellion the most interesting of all, thus I myself chose to have the Frenzied Flame as my canon ending. I have to say, Vaati's video on the topic was brilliant and ending to this video really came so very much close to the perfection of storytelling through video. Thank you once again!
Your video timings are just brilliant this again has helped me through my finals keep up the amazing work can't wait for part 2.
Another masterful addition to the collection. The quality of your videos is the best of all Souls channels and better than many on youtube. Thanks so much for taking your time to give us such great content. /applause
Thank you very much, we appreciate you supporting our content. ♥️
Damn That ENDING!!!!! made it my ringtone..
Not sure what made u make this video but I'm so glad u did,excellent work n thanks for explaining this awesome story
Just found your channel earlier today i truly don't know how i didnt come across you before since im always lookinh up lore for souls/bloodborne. Just wanna say your videos are absolutely amazing gonna watch them all in order bur first gonna watch this. Actually I will probably do sekiro next since thats one of my all time favorites and there isint much lore videos ive seen on it
Okay this was great, also love all the dramatic edits made with gameplay, thats a really good touch
Words can’t describe how much I looked forward to y’all lord dive. Im sure this’ll be great!!
Aww that means a lot, thank you! Let us know your thoughts on the video. ♥️
Oh yeah. This is more important than my thanksgiving.
Excellent compilation of the known facts of the Elden Ring history and mythology. While I love the deeply analytical and researched lore theory videos out there, I’m not sure I’ve seen a single video yet that so comprehensively fills this specific foundational function. Thank you!
You’re welcome my friend, we appreciate you taking the time to watch our video! ♥️
This is an high quality and complete video! Best I have seen yet on elden ring! Continu your good work !
That’s very kind of you, we’re glad you enjoyed the video! ♥️
Thanks for another awesome explainer. The time it takes for these shows for sure. Keep up the awesome work!
More than anything, seeing that this is up makes me need to finally get things in place so I can actually play this damn game. Love all your previous From Soft story videos.
So hype for this series. Just recently beat the game. Another banger, brothers. 👍
Thank you so much, we look forward to providing you with more! ♥️
Man I got goosebumps from ending of this video. Very well done.
Are you ok
@@quasouthdallas3529 no
Just passing by to say congratulations for your work. Truly impressive from a writing, editing and overall composing standpoint. I lost my will (and time availability, really) to finish these games after Bloodborne, but it was nice to learn about the stories I missed in such an eloquent and sure handed manner.
this is fantastic work beautiful scenes but i would like to see you reupload and take the directors seat and let someone like James earl jones' voice narrate the story, instant classic. Great work!
So excited to see this released, you gents put so much work into each one. Thank you for the incredible videos.
You're welcome Russel, thank you for supporting our content! ♥
Are there plans for more ER videos? As a massive fan of your other ones, I feel like they outlined way more of the overall story and things you did throughout the game, while this one was just the backstory. Would love to see more!
Ahhh I’ve been waiting for this upload
You guys are cool probably the best lore videos on KZhead
This video is so coherant that for the first time ever, i finally have the idea of this amazing story without any doubt. Thank You for this great content!
That’s great to hear Nathan, thank you for watching! ♥️
Truly when i saw that video is but an hour long i thought to myself: its impossible they were able to do it such short time. I was wrong. Great job as always guys.
The animations are so godly in this game, especially seeing actions in slow motion really emphasize this fact
Brother's Bedtime Souls Tales returns 🥲
Ain't no way I was hoping you prob will make this happens n you uploads this lmfaoo let's goo!
every time I get the notification that you guys uploaded, my day becomes so much better. thank you 🙏🏻
These are absolutely some of my favorite videos. The way this channel explains the lore is excellent.
Thank you very much, we appreciate you watching!
Great great video! Finished game with all endings but too busy dodge rolling to pick up most of this.
Oooweeee been waiting for this one.
The ending of this huge video was so well put together! Top notch!
Time to listen while I sleep. Keep it up boys!
It won game of the year earlier tn, great video to live through the story a bit again.
very clear story telling and all info is visible so its not confusing. thank you
Another brother's code epic, I can't believe this channel is so underrated considering the work they put into each video. Still much respect from me regardless and I hope your channel continues to grow. You definitely deserve any success that comes your way.

You’re welcome. We hope you enjoy the video! ♥️
The moment we have all been waiting for if you've been subbed to brother's code for a while.
Amazing job guy’s! Fantastic video! This was very worth the wait. Now I’m just like … “What’s the next story explained video going to be about?”
There is more to be told in Elden Ring’s story, stay tuned!
Now explain this to me like I’m 5
Thank you for the Sekiro video and this one, got to learn a ton about the lore of both universes and pass the time at work.
Oh. My. GOD! What an amazing video, nay, a movie! Absolute masterpiece among the lore videos. I think, that I'll speak on behalf of all Elden Ring players when I say, that watching this and listening to this intriguing presentation of its lore and story, greatly deepens our overall enjoyment of the game. No matter, if someone is a lore enthusiast, is just interested in the story or plays the game "only" for its amazing game design, which is the staple of Fromsoft's creations, having the substantial understanding of its lore, which this video provides, must and surely will enhance the enjoyment this masterpiece of a game brings us all. The experience of playing a game is always much better when you understand the motives and motivations of the actions of its characters and your own. It is always better, if you know why is the world you are in, in its current state, what is your purpose in it and why you are set to achieve certain goals. And even though, compared to previous Fromsoft's games, Elden Ring is much better in voicing these things to the player and is much more straightforward in its storytelling (at least to the point, that everyone is able to understand the basics of what they're supposed to do and why they're doing it), players must still look pretty thoroughly for the underlying context and history of major but also minor characters, the world as a whole and its individual locations (which is very well Fromsoft's standard). However, not many have the will and/or time to devote themselves to looking for all the clues and hints hidden in the item descriptions and pieces of the story and lore scattered throughout the world or brought up in an often cryptic and allegoric dialogue. That's why I'm extremely grateful for content creators like this, who do all the "hard work" for us and bring us all the key, major, interesting and hidden lore information in a comprehensive and interesting way. To summarize, I'd like to say one very big thank you to you, for making this marvelous video. The voiceover, pacing, style of delivery of the information, together with editting, music choice - creative and artistic direction overall - was perfect. I can't even imagine how much time and effort you must've put into making this. I bow before you and you have my deepest respect. I can say that my understanding of Elden Ring's story was at least moderate and I knew parts of the history of individual demigods and the Lands Between. But hearing it all brought together, chronologically and with all the necessary context I can finally fully appreciate the amazing lore written by G. R. R. Martin and the spectacular way it was put into the game and worked with by Fromsoft's developers and creative team. Thank you once again. I wish you only the best in your future. Both in your KZhead career and in personal life. May you achieve great success, because you deserve it so much.
Reading this means so much to us. Thank you so much for the kind words, truly humbling. We appreciate you and your support of our content! 🤍
