Every time you save a life in Shadow of the Erdtree | Elden Ring Lore

After years of taking dragon tails for weapons, slaying defenceless npc's, and plunging whole words into darkness, The tarnished has become the hero of the Lands Between. Finally you are "The Good Guy!". In this video we will look at how you save Miquella and Trina, Rescue Radhan, Honour Mohg, Give peace to the Dragon Slayer Igon, lay to rest the long suffering Midra, and more! This video explores a whole range of the Lore from Shadow Of The Erdtree, and how Miyazaki and the team at From Software seem to want to have us feeling better about ourselves by the end of the DLC!

Some Bonus characters!
- Thiollier and Ansbach for helping them reach their potential
- Fire Knight Queelign and Swordhand of Night Jolán if you grant the Iris of Grace in their quest
- Ancient Dragon Florissax for giving her new purpose after her Lord's nature has become clear
- Moore if you manage to save him
Whether these are good endings depends on your perspective and how you progressed your quest with them.
Is there anyone else you think we helped?

One interesting thing about Bayle is he doesn’t kill Igon. He crippled him and leaves him alive to suffer, mirroring his own fate.

[Psychx_]

Due to the fact that Mohg got people like Ansbach to follow him, he may not have always acted as batshit insane as when we meet him ingame.

[Toad-ot]

Speaking of Horses, we saved poor Leonard from rotted Rhadan. Rhadan in dlc is definitely not himself because he cares not for his horse, and in cruel irony, is treat as Miquellas mount

[TheDemidemn]

I love how Hawk is like
“We saved all these people!”

4/5 of the people mentioned we personally kill 💀

[shun-li]

4:23 this line from Freyja along with her decision to stop us from reaching Miquella was what made me so disappointed in her. She could've fought alongside the Ansbach avenging their Lords from such an unfair and unfit fate.

30 seconds in and I lost it at "MaRikA's TlT$"

[KatKatKatKatKatKatKatKatKat]

Every one of those jerks attacked me on sight. So they get the poo poo ending

[dylanreeves]

A note about Igon- not only do we restore his warrior spirit and help him get his Vengeance so his soul can be at peace; but we help him to get there. His body is so utterly crippled that he can't move from the Jagged Peak dragons fighting location. He gives us his finger, which I believe is the only npc to do so, so that we might scale the peak and write his sign FOR HIM in Bayle's boss arena.

[NerdOracle]

It would be wild if it were revealed that Putrescence were Leonard

[WildArmACF]

Lets also remember that there is a friendly Rotkin we can save with a warming stone. A minor life when compaired to gods, but a life all the same

[Kerminator]

I didn’t expect the out of nowhere Malenia slander lmao

[mackdontpayforstrange]

I always assume I'm the bad guy and a pillager in these games. Morgott was right about us. Edit: Great video. Still not sure about the Tarnished place in the world but you make some compelling arguments.

[Halfgnomen]

Have I given yall my Marika is the Spirit Tuner that Hewg is indebted to and that Roderika is a numen theory? Basically because we know they're shrine maidens, the Shamans were likely the original spirit tuners and given that Hewg talks about the sheer terror of her, I bet he's talking about Marika's revenge on the Hornsent. Now why does that say taht Roderika is numen? Because you have a young, beautiful, blonde, well endowed young women who's gifted in the spiritual arts but never practised it. who has the same hue in her eyes as said spirit tuner now, take that same girl and raise her in the culture of spirit tuning (shamanism) and I can see why people thought the shamans/Marika were divine. The Numen/Shamans came to the lands between on those big stone ships down in the ceruelian coasts due to them coming from outside the lands between and guess who else came by ship? Roderika who couldn't see her own guidance because Marika hated the Golden Order all along after figuring out that Metyr was broken.

[OgreKingMongrel]

I am a nerd that refuses to believe Radahn would let Miquella have such control over his future even if it meant giving him a chance for a true battle.

[grfrjiglstan]

One thing about Midra’s fight that people overlook is that, if you lose, Midra goes back to his state of eternal torment, and you have to fight him as a normal man again. That means there is no world where we turn him into the lord of Frenzied Flame, lose, and then leave the world to its fate.

[DenBover-pfxk]

Has anyone mentioned the soreseals being eyes and messmer removing his eye during the cutscene and calling it a seal?

[kae]

Trina is found after two crosses: one for his "doubts and vacillation, " and one for his "love". Which.. makes me wonder. Is she one of these? The nectarblood burgeon found near the doubts implies she'd be that one. But the cross for his love is found even deeper in, nearer to Trina.

[TravisthekingofAthen]

"Just like when she fights us, she cheats." Lmao xD

[DoctorTBR]

finally someone else who recognizes the kindness death can be
