Hey everyone. I've struggled with making this video for a long time because it requires a lot of recontextualizing of the Japanese text of Elden Ring to make sense. I've definitely talked around the topic a few times in my other videos, but I haven't addressed exactly how I imagined the Crucible being the Erdtree really fits together because it would potentially detract too much from other points in my previous videos.

But now with Shadow of the Erdtree on the horizon, I figure I have to unleash my last tinfoil, crackpot lore theory onto the world for posterity's sake.

If you're playing lore bingo, you'll almost certainly succeed since I mention all the usual suspects: Japanese text, English comparisons, Marika, Radagon, the Gloam Eyed Queen, Destined Death, etc.

I originally wanted this video to be longer and wanted to speak more on the whole Greattree debacle and how we're told the Erdtree was born during the War Against the Giants, but so many leaks surfacing, I had to cut things short and scramble to get this done. I hope you enjoy it regardless.
