“Hello, fellow faders! Welcome to the new issue of “Hundred Gamers”, I am Madoka, an environmental expert!”

On the video hot search list of 霹雹雹雳.

A video titled “What is the story of Elden’s Ring?” went straight to the top 3 of the trending searches.

In less than two days, it achieved a total of 3 million+ video views.

This is also enough to verify the continued popularity of “Elden” since its release.

Even a related second-generation video has such a considerable number of views.

Xiao Yuan is a full-time game UP master in Pili Station, and can be regarded as an old man in Pili Station.

In the early years, it was tied with Zhang Heng’s “Lao Zhang Talks about Games” series as the most popular game video at Perak Station.

However, with the serious homogenization of games, there are more and more krypton gold games, all of which have the same gameplay and trap modeling.

The playback volume of Xiao Yuan and Lao Zhang’s videos has also gone from bad to worse, almost to the point where they can no longer hold on.

And there is no perfect path.

The sudden emergence of Ready Player One made Zhang Heng, who took stock of the game’s novel gameplay and excellent mechanics, become popular again.

Because it was the first UP to start making series of Ready Player One videos, and I have a background in gaming.

Zhang Heng has become the current leader in the gaming area.

On the other hand, Madoka’s situation was a bit embarrassing.

After Zhang Heng became popular, he attracted a group of UPs who made videos of the same style as him.

There is only so much cake, and it has been almost divided among the peers.

Even if Madoka wanted to get a piece of this pie, it would probably be difficult for her to get ahead.

But with the release of “Elden.”

Let Madoka see another hope.

The game plot and explanation are UP.

Commentary UP is not uncommon in all major video fields.

Film and television commentary, animation commentary, analysis of classics, etc., everything is available.

And in today’s fast-paced life, many viewers don’t have the patience or time to read the original work.

The speed version is their best choice.

among many explanations.

Only, there is no category for game plot commentary.

The reason.

There really isn’t anything good about the plot in this category of games.

The plots of card-drawing games are all the same.

Even the multiple games owned by Ready Player One.

The story line is also simply ignored.

“Mario” is fun.

But does it have any vivid and engaging plot?

No.

It’s not a bad idea to play TFT twice in your spare time, right?

But it still has no plot.

That’s not to say that there has never been a plot-oriented game in the entire game category.

However, in the past these games had a linear narrative style.

Players can almost understand all the plot after walking through it.

There is no need for UP to specially produce a plot analysis.

But the release of “Elden” broke this situation for the first time.

This new definition of open world brings a new plot insertion mode-granularization.

It is different from the fragments that can be unlocked by passing levels in the past.

“Elden” is so fragmented that as long as players don’t watch it carefully, they won’t even know what the game is about even after playing it.

I only know that I was killed by monsters in the border area, and then I grew up to the point where I could chase monsters and kill them. I felt very happy and had a sense of accomplishment.

Then I became the King of Elden.

Then it was gone.

“Is there really no player who wants to know what this game is about after playing it once?” With this idea in mind, Madoka conducted a tentative environmental study.

The result was unexpectedly popular.

One week after the video was released, the number of views has exceeded 5 million+

Many viewers who finished watching said, “What the fuck? So that’s what it is?”, “Shocked, so many details?”, “Wori, this branch is here… I wonder why I spent so long looking for it.”

The audience’s enthusiasm and urging for updates made Madoka extremely happy.

I also started working on the second and third issues non-stop…

Because Madoka’s video production introduces a large amount of game text as evidence, and the attitude of making the video is very careful.

Many viewers who have never played “Elden” even treat his video as an anime and follow it.

After looking at it, I think this game is indeed quite interesting.

Then there are many people who enter the game.

“…We mentioned last time that after the Faded One fought against the Broken Stars, the seals of the stars were released. The Eternal City that was driven into the ground also had to be smashed open by the impact of the falling stars, so that it could see the light of day again.”

“But if you think that Ready Player One is just opening the world for the sake of it, and creating an underground world to let players experience surprises, you are totally wrong.”

“Based on the information I found and the texts collected within the game. This eternal city also hides secrets, and it is a link that cannot be missed in sorting out the plot line.”

Soon, during Madoka’s eloquent narration.

He also began to piece together the prototype of Elden’s worldview bit by bit.

Originally, in the earliest period of the junction.

More like a melting pot of chaos.

The lives born in the furnace are all kinds of strange things.

Some are covered with horns, and some are demi-humans with ugly faces.

There are various large insects, jellyfish and other creatures, as well as animals with different orientations.

There are even dragons that give birth to wings and soar in the sky.

All races live on the borderland, and their beliefs are mixed.

Some believe in the stars in the sky, some believe in the spirit of the river, some believe in thunder and lightning, some believe in poisonous mist, and some believe in immortality.

There are all kinds of beliefs.

Of course, in that chaotic era, various races had no concept of beauty and ugliness.

The Blessing of the Furnace treats every living being equally, regardless of whether they believe in themselves or not.

They will be given birth, growth, and death equally.

Therefore, in the “Forge Era” at the border, all species had a collective name – the Forge Hundreds.

Among them, the original residents of the Eternal City – rare people.

It is also a part of the melting pot.

They have dark silver skin and their faces belong to the human race.

The rare people believed in the power of the stars, and by studying the mysteries of the stars, they gradually formed their own civilization and built magnificent buildings one after another.

It is the one with the highest intellectual evolution among the various forms of the melting pot, and civilization is also developing crazily at this moment.

Therefore, after the “Era of the Furnace” in ancient times.

Instead, there is the “Era of Stars” that few people believe in

And just when everything was calm and peaceful.

An extraterrestrial meteor named “Elden” falls.

The foreign god Supreme Will also made his official appearance, ushering in a major change in the border area that had not changed for thousands of years.

The Supreme Will sows golden trees in the border areas and spreads its “golden law” everywhere.

It is different from the previous melting pot era where all things coexisted.

The arrival of the Golden Law is full of domineering exclusivity.

“Those who believe in me live, those who carry me will die” is interpreted to the extreme.

It also caused great dissatisfaction among the various races of the Furnace.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the conflict between the rare humans and them.

But unfortunately, the golden power developed too quickly.

The Golden Law has a self-circulating growth method.

That is, those who believe in the golden law are born under the coverage of the golden tree, receive the blessing of runes and grow up. After death, they return to the tree, and their strength returns to the golden tree.

Complete a self-loop.

This method of only entering but not exiting allows the Golden Law to expand its power with each additional believer.

The rare people who are defeated head-on by the supreme will.

They began to plot to resist.

A weapon capable of hunting down golden forces was created – the Hunting Finger Knife.

This weapon contains the essence of rare people’s most powerful power – the destiny of death.

The golden clansmen who die in the hands of this weapon will strip away the self-circulation of the golden tree.

That is, he was still born under the golden tree → → received the blessing of runes and grew → → but could not return to the tree after death. Instead, he died naturally and dissipated in the junction area, becoming the growth nutrients of the furnace → → causing the power to be unable to be used. Gold tree recycling.

In this way, the expansion of gold power can be prevented from the source.

This is a weapon that even the supreme will fears.

In order to avoid the power of ‘Death of Destiny’ from causing trouble.

The Supreme Will summoned meteors from the sky to the junction, smashed the Eternal City into the ground with precision, and sealed all the rare humans into the underground world, never to see the light of day forever.

The Hunting Finger Knife was sealed forever because of this.

The task Lani entrusted to the Faded One was to enter the Eternal City and find this hunting finger knife.

“So far we can see that Lani’s wife has great ambitions. At a time when other demigods want to seize power, reintegrate the Elden Circle and unify the border areas.”

“Our wife Lani can only think about how to kill the projection of the Supreme Will at the junction and completely wipe the Elden Circle from this world.”

“When our A’Dai brings back the hunting finger knife and gives it to Lani, Lani will give us an engagement ring and a dowry – the Dark Moon Great Sword.”

“This soft rice is indeed delicious. With the ring, we can propose to my wife. This is a true engagement. Now she really becomes our real wife.”

“But I would also like to ask all faded ones to dress as humanly as possible during the cutscene of putting a ring on their wives.” Madoka smiled and continued.

“It is not difficult for us to find that during the scene of proposing to his wife, Lani’s clone was sitting next to the body of the second finger, and the second finger had been hunted by Lani with a finger knife.”

“As we all know, the existence of the two fingers at the junction is very special. They are not the player’s enemies, but they are not the players’ allies either. The identity it plays is just a microphone for the supreme will. You can understand it as receiving signals. antenna.”

“However, the Supreme Will is only a foreign god after all, and its language is incompatible with the life in the border area. Therefore, ordinary antennas will be equipped with an old lady who interprets fingers to translate them into words that the residents of the border area can understand, to spread the gospel of the Supreme Will.”

“But Lani can possess one and two fingers by herself, and can specifically communicate with the supreme will.”

“It’s not difficult to see that Lani’s identity is extremely special.”

“But we’ll talk about this later. Let’s first talk about how the Golden Tree became stable step by step until it is today.”

After summoning meteors to seal the rare people in the Eternal City into the underground world.

The Supreme Will also realizes that it is definitely not feasible to take action personally every time.

I am a foreign god, busy with affairs, and having to handle a small interface by myself is too demeaning.

Therefore, He directly appointed an outstanding person among the rare people with outstanding intelligence – the Eternal Queen Marika.

As his successor.

The price is that those rare people who are willing to submit to the Golden Law can return to life on the surface.

“As for Marika’s origin, the details given in the game are too vague and obscure. It may depend on whether there will be DLC to complete the story line of Ready Player One.” Madoka speculated.

“But we can analyze some of the content through some small details.”

“In the game, players will encounter two small sculptures that are somewhat similar.”

“One is called the Marked Gathering, and the other is called the Malika Keystone.”

“These two sculptures have different functions in the game. One can summon friends, and the other can be used as a temporary blessing point. After death, you can be resurrected directly from the Malika Keystone.”

“But if you look closely at the appearance of the statues, you will find that the characters carved in both statues are Mallika.”

“One is like being nailed to a cross, with arms facing upward. When releasing the Golden Law prayer in the game, players will raise their arms upward, as if praising the Golden Law.”

“As for the Marica keystone, both arms have been chopped off, a bit like the Venus de Milo. But if we look closely, we can easily find that even if the arms are chopped off, we can still see that Marica on the statue has two arms. Arms down.”

“Judging from the rigor with which “Elden’s Ring” has been presented so far, every detail set up by Ready Player One has its own purpose. There is definitely no way to put a statue of a severed arm here for no reason.”

“So I speculate that Malika, with her arms facing upward and nailed to the arc-shaped ring, is Malika after she surrendered.”

“And Marika the Broken Arm is Marika who led a tribe of rare people and clashed with the Supreme Will before she surrendered.”

“It’s just that she wasn’t called Marika at that time, but had another name – the Queen of Dark Eyes.”

“Because the posture with the arms facing down is exactly the posture used to release the death of destiny. We can see some clues about this in the release of some skills related to black flames that we got later in the game.”

“Therefore, when Malika surrenders, only the statue with the arms pointing upward will be kept, and the arms of the Malika keystone with the arms facing downward will be chopped off.”

“This also seems to represent a warning from the Supreme Will to Marika.”

After Madoka finished speaking, the audience thought, “Holy shit” and “So thin?” ’, ‘Good guy, I didn’t realize it before… so it’s like this! ’ Wait for the barrage of sudden realization.

And Madoka’s video continues.

After the Supreme Will appointed Marika as her successor.

Granted the Ring of Elden, the embodiment of the Golden Law, to Marika.

As a result, she possesses divinity second only to the Supreme Will, and now controls the entire border area in place of the Supreme Will.

In short, Malika became the vessel for Elden’s Circle.

However, it is not enough to have a god-man.

Want the Golden Law to be passed down from generation to generation.

It is necessary to carry on the family line and inherit the father’s legacy from son to son.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a king to combine with the god and man he has appointed.

Give birth to an heir.

So Queen Malika chose a warrior leader from the wild lands, Hollelu.

Crown him the first King of Elden and become his companion.

In exchange, the barbarian warrior Holy Lou changed his name to Godfrey.

He also suppressed the beast nature in his body and swore an oath to gold to unify the border area so that the people in the entire territory can enjoy long-term peace under the rule of the golden law.

After taking the oath, Godfrey naturally began to show his allegiance to show his loyalty.

Marika married and gave birth to three children.

Then he led his troops and began a long journey.

In the border area, there are only two things that can deter the growth of the golden tree.

It’s the same as “Death of Destiny” controlled by a few people.

The other one comes from the giant flame crucible guarded by the giants in the snow-capped mountains, in which the “Fire of Ashes” burns.

Destined death can refuse the deceased to submit to the golden tree from the root level, diluting the power of the golden tree.

The Fire of Ashes can directly burn the golden tree, releasing the power that suppresses the golden tree from the surface.

The rare human race has been solved.

Then Ge Fulei’s primary goal was to attack the snow-capped mountains northeast of the royal city.

After capturing the Snow Mountain, Godfrey, as a natural warrior, immediately went south after the victory and began to attack other races.

The goddess Marika then rushed to the snow-capped mountains to inspect the work, but found that the flame in the crucible could not be extinguished.

So the last giant of the giant family was left, and a curse was placed on him to guard the flames forever, and no outsiders were allowed to approach the snow-capped mountains.

And just when Ge Fulei was victorious all the way and wiped out almost all the races that were dissatisfied with the golden power.

But he was suddenly exiled by Marika and expelled from the border area.

Godfrey and his generals who lost their blessing were like people who lost their lights in the fog and could no longer see the direction of their return home.

So he became the first group of people to fade away, wandering outside the border area.

Later, Mallika tied the knot with “Red-haired” Radagan, an outstanding general in the royal city.

According to the provisions of the Golden Law.

If you want to become a king, you must marry a man of God appointed by the Supreme Will.

Therefore, Radagon also became the second King of Elden in the true sense.

“As for Radagan’s identity, many friends should have already found the exact answer in the game.”

“In front of a statue of Radagan in the Royal City, use the “Principle of Regression” to pray to it, and the statue of Radagon will turn into a statue of Mallika. ”

“And players will see the official advice left by the number one player – Radagan is Mallika!”

“But why Radagon suddenly appeared is the biggest doubt at present.”

“Through some of the prop details, including the broken-arm statue I just mentioned, it is not difficult to know that the Supreme Will has always been wary of Marika.”

The so-called people who are not of my race must have different minds.

Therefore, choosing Mallika to become a god-man is just a delaying tactic of the Supreme Will.

First, choose your own queen to be my spokesperson for God, which can soothe the mood of the rare people who have been driven into the ground.

Rare people are human beings, and their lives are precious!

Those who perform well will have the opportunity to obtain a gold card and return to the ground to enjoy generous welfare benefits.

Secondly, there were many races in the border area at that time, and sparse people were just one of them.

If the fight continues, other races will also be watching, and it will be difficult for the golden power to expand rapidly.

Therefore, the Supreme Will chose to temporarily reconcile with the rare humans.

But he doesn’t quite recognize the divine person Malika is.

After making it his own vessel of law.

Regardless of whether Marika has evil thoughts in her heart, after doing things for the Supreme Will for so long, there will always be a trace of surrender in her heart, which is the so-called sense of identification with the Golden Law.

Although this recognition is subtle, it is keenly perceived by the Supreme Will.

Seeing that Ge Fulei, the first generation leader of the Ring King, is about to wipe out Liuhe and sweep away all the wastes, the basic foundation of the golden power has been stabilized.

The Supreme Will suddenly felt that the time was ripe, so he created another more perfect personality from Mallika’s body – Radagan.

The loyal dog of the Golden Law also officially makes its debut.

The loyal dog is completely obedient to the Golden Law. It has no human emotions and is the purest container.

Although Marika and Radagon are one body, they have independent personalities.

“There is a very subtle issue here.” After talking about Radagon, Madoka expressed her own point of view.

“As we just mentioned, the first generation leader Ge Fulei fought all the way when he was fighting in the north and south.”

“First capture the snow-capped mountains in the northeast of the royal city. After killing them, go south and start attacking Storm City, the predecessor of Stonewell City.”

“But friends who have played the game all know the map situation of the junction. From the Royal City to Stonewell, there will be a Lienia in the middle.”

“The normal order of our travels is also the same. We pass through Stonewell, and then go all the way north to Liyenia. After passing Liyenia, we can reach the Royal City.”

“Then the problem arises.”

“The Calian royal family is stuck in the middle of the road, and they have never obeyed the golden law. Why did Godfrey skip this place and not fight? Instead, he went directly south to fight Stonewell, and then ran to Gai in the east. Lid?”

“There is no obvious answer given in the game, but my personal guess is that the Supreme Will has already started to build momentum for Radagan at this time.”

“If you want to become a king, you must have a record that can convince the public.”

“Therefore, the Supreme Will deliberately left an area like this in the Kaliya royal family, and did not let Godfrey get involved. Instead, it was given to Radagan to attack.”

“After Radagon won the battle, he chose to marry Lenara of the royal family and directly regain a piece of power. This way he had a record and paved the way for him to ascend the throne and become king.”

“At this point, we can find that the Supreme Will’s game of chess is also quite subtle.”

“Why is it said that this game of chess was played by the supreme will?”

“Because the moment Godfrey was exiled, Radagon abandoned his family, went straight to the royal city, chose to marry Marika and have children, and ascended the throne and became the second generation of the Ring King.”

“He married Marika and gave birth to two children: Michaela and Marlenia.”

“However, with this setting of self-breeding, I can only lament that the designer is really imaginative. I can’t even think of how the same person can produce and breed himself with his own seeds. pregnant……”

“Gods can indeed do things that mere humans can’t imagine…”

“But no matter what, the siblings Michaela and Marlenia were successfully born, and the border areas were unified. The loyal dog Radagon was also preparing to seize power step by step according to the will of the Supreme Will. Everything seemed to be going well. Under the control of the Supreme Will.”

“At this time, the power of gold has reached its peak. To facilitate subsequent understanding, we call it the “Golden Era” under the rule of the Golden Law.”

Most of the plot exists in the game.

I made some slight changes due to rhythm and length.

Regarding the ancient dragons of the earlier period, and the red posture of the initial golden tree showing a furnace-like appearance, these are not mentioned in the book.

Because these actually have little to do with the main story. Like the Ancient King of Storms, they are more like some settings thrown by FS to complete the world view (it may be improved in DLC, but now the DLC has not been released, many details have not been released yet. It’s just a mention and nothing more follows.)

Therefore, I can’t mention them all here. It would be impossible to write them all out one by one.

If there are some missing details, fellow experienced gamers can point them out and I will make corrections as soon as possible if the changes do not affect the reading of the original text.
