The Prisoner class is also a reference to Griffith from Berserk. His helmet bears a strong resemblance to Griffiths hawk helmet, Griffith's crime of sacrificing his companions for power was a very appalling crime, and the rift on his starting shield is a reference to the infamous Eclipse which apostles use for celebrations of ascension and feasting upon humans. The From-Soft developers are notorious for all the Berserk references throughout the series and this appears to be another one.

The prisoners are me everytime I steal a sweetroll.
This was awesome! You should do one on the prophet.
I still find it f’in crazy just how much detail within detail this game has! It’s just completely mind blowing
Those cinematic shots😩
That was a clean transition bro 👨🏽🍳🔥
Jeez dude the little things you make me pay attention to. Thank you so much for all the videos you made since the days of Dark Souls 1 and that changed my perspective on games forever
Prisoner begins playthrough: *No prison can hoold me!*
Adventure awaits! Huzzah!
As someone who has never played Elden Ring and clicked this without thinking, I was very entertained by having no context for anything. The over stimulation was real. Thank you for a fun short.
Do a mini lore video on each starting class! I wanna show them each to my love!
Once I saw the living sphere rocks or whatever they’re call I no joke yelled “WHY TO THE LIVING AN*L BEADS EXPLODE?!” As one of them exploded in my face and nearly killed me
The shield distinctly reminds me of a particular Primeval Sorcerer's fate.
damn…time to play Elden Ring again!
Thank you for explaining this ive been getting my friend into the game and haven't found the words to give a description on classes
The prison class is legit just a griffith reference
Ahh my starting class, good to see you again old pal.
That evergaol transition was fire
God damn this editing is peak
This is my favorite starting class.! Also got to Love the weird ass helmet
Y'know, I only just made the connection between the shield and the gaol a few days ago myself
i hope that dlcs will connect everything and expand the story i love elden ring so much i would have never thought as a kid that such thing will be made and there we are alive and able to experience this, and yes i said dlcs because i hope there will be two
this video's editing is so good 😭😭😭
prisoner class is an entire berserk reference in itself
this is in all likelihood a reference to griffith from berserk as well
The loop is perfect for this
God, I love your content. There's some other good ones out there, but without you, I don't know where I would turn to get the type of presentation you give❤.
What an amazing channel to find as I peak. This is magical AND informative!
I always thought it was base on berserk -Griffith
He also specifically has a carian sorcery and says he was originally a noble so he was likely some sort of carian noble prior to his imprisonment
Maybe he strayed too close to the primeval current
This was my starting class on my first playthrough and I loved it!
Always the coolest class imo
Dude I freaking love Elden ring so much, please keep informing me on the lore!!
Looks like Griffiths helm
It's griffith. No way the helmet isn't in a way inspired by Griffith's.
Bro that transition 💀🤌🏻
In the words of Philip J. Fry, "Magic, got it."
Glintstone sorcerers are like “I use blue crystals everyday man you should try it”
I literally fell asleep listening to this. You should do a whole breakdown video. I guarantee people would love it!
Nice loop, amazing.
I always forget i have like 8GB of elden ring lore in my head until i see one of these shorts and its like remembering a past life
My first characters class! Wore that mask longer than I wanted lol
You are the 👑 with these videos! Vati is a very close tie
The Prisoner starts with a shield? *laughs in 2-handed estoc*
Using the Prisoner clothing and specializing in a Godslayer/Blackflame build. Bringing a true and final Death to the world that threw me away.
I love how they start with a prototype sorcery of Carian Knights, hinting they may have been an early genius of the Carian Royals
that's awesome, now I can enhance my roleplaying backstory by which my character was a sister to Marika before she became host of the greater will :D
What's interesting is that the class starts with magic glintblade, which was a spell the Carians and their knights had access to. So whoever the Prisoner was, he must've been someone of high-rank within the Carians themselves or the enchanted knights
300+ hours of playing Elden Ring and I’m just now noticing that the centipede things around the Evergaol have eyes.
That makes sense, the resistance to madness was likely put on the shield so those bound to a notably long evergaol sentence wouldn't go mad.
The background music is very spooky
Your videos are awesome
I love these videos!
I bought this Game a Week ago. And I picked this Class because the Helmet immediately reminded me of Griffith.
Geart freaking short. I'd watch a whole video on this
My first character was a prisoner I named the Crimson Chin.
Im currently playing prisoner on my first playthrough! Range/melee hybrid is so much fun!!
MAY CHAOS! TAKE! THE WORLD!
The shield resembles madness. Most likely because the tarnished has been in prison for "Elden Lord" knows how long.
The fact that using the shield gives you a bit of frenzy flame and frostbite is suspicious as well
