![]() It is chaos, devouring life and thought unending. “If you intend to claim the Frenzied Flame, I ask that you cease. Ahhh, may chaos take the world! May chaos take the world!”Īnd also Melina if we summon her at the Frenzied Flame Proscription’s site of Grace: ![]() Burn the Erdtree to the ground, and incinerate all that divides and distinguishes. setting you on the righteous path of lordship. If you inherit the flame of frenzy, your flesh will serve as kindling and the girl can be spared. Seek audience with the Three Fingers and the flame of frenzy. Descend into the depths, far below the Erdtree Capital. This dialogue confirms what we said earlier, that the Three Fingers are the Chaotic entity of the game, which is further reinforced by Shabriri when we met him possessing Yura’s body in Mountaintops of the Giants: ![]() Here Hyetta is saying to us that the Three Fingers are trying to bring back everything to it’s original form as the One Great by melting (not burning, melting) everything with the Flame of Frenzy, even the metaphysical Aether and the Outer Gods. The yellow flame of chaos will sear and melt (dissolve) all Therefore it must be put back/restored/returned to previous condition. Melt it all away, with the yellow chaos flame. “And so, what was borrowed must be returned. Let’s remain on topic and move on then to the next line: The 90% of the symbolism though is beyond me and so I won’t even try to make guesses, everything I know will be explained in the next chapter. Just for reference I want to put here the image that gave me this idea, which I’m confident to be relevant since has in it symbolism of the Hermetic lore, which is very prominent in alchemy. Maybe the creation of Order, or better, the thing that impose Order upon the World: the Elden Ring. What would be the thing that they associate to the greatest Sin? This seems to refer to something similar to an “Original Sin” of the Greater Will, but what it can be? Lets try to see it from the perspective of the Three Fingers which, as we know, represent Chaos. Every one, born of the mistake”.īut that was the Greater Will’s mistake/error/sin. It’s literally dividing earth from heaven or, making again a reference to alchemy, the Aether (or Primeval Current as we’ll see in Chapter 5) from the Lands Between (more on Chapter 2). This line is probably the most important one because, for me, it is talking about the first act of creation, the fracture that divided the physical (births) from the metaphysical (souls). Split off, was born, became possessed of a heart/emotion/awareness.” “ Then came fractures, and births, and souls”. Let’s leave this here for a moment and move to the next line: being/entity, because in the original Japanese it is referred as the “great one-thing” which has more a “great oneness” connotation, which in alchemy takes the name of Prima Materia. I’m explicitly using the term matter, and not e.g. Here we can assume that the One Great was the primordial cosmic matter that existed at the beginning of the universe of ER. “All that there is came from the One Great”.Įverything split off from a great one-thing.” Now, since this dialogue is very cryptic, let’s analyse it line by line and see all the possible implications: And so, what was borrowed must be returned. Then came fractures, and births, and souls. “All that there is came from the One Great. Let’s start from Hyetta’s dialogue at the end of her questline: In this chapter we’ll investigate the cosmogonic myth of ER worldbuilding which, by definition, is meant to be very vague and to not have clear answers.
