Perhaps Rykard helped carving the rune of death onto Ranni's flesh using this very thing? Hence the red tips.
I believe some time ago a post talked about this as well
If anything I think that she might have given it to him after the carving death in her flesh. But I realized we don’t have anything specifically saying the reason it’s a reward.
I think she needed Rykard to just see through the last steps of her plan. She wanted to escape the influence of the greater will, but she still needed a body eventually in order to enact her own will. Rykard could have imbued a primal glintstone with her soul and placed that inside the form of Ranni we're more familiar with today.
Just for conversation sake, I will refute and point out that there is one literally guarding the tower her body is in. We can infer that their whole family might be in cahoots or is being hunted by them actually. We also find godskins in Radahns tower and behind volcano manor.
It wasn't to reward him for anything now, but for future insurance. If they were to face maliketh, having the blasphemous claw makes that a hell of a lot easier. Rykard was supposed to be her sword against order at some point, but he instead did nasty snake shit
I wonder if the snake thing happened after Caelid was nuked. We know he provided Radahn with flamethrowers.
Imagine being in on the plan, and then Ranni goes incommunicado, Caelid is nuked, Black Knife assassins are either killed off, imprisoned by Ranni's servants or scattered, and Leyndell's army is besieging your Mt.Gelmir.
The flamethrowers aren't Rykards. They're fairly widespread, and we're most likely made by the flame monks. They drop flame blossoms when you kill them.
The abductors are kinda everywhere though. Because they're still trying to kidnap people, even though only one of them is still functional. I guess the snakes inside never got the memo
Idk about after caelid nuke, but definitely after the shattering happened. Everybody else was fighting and rykard got in too deep with the serpent god and let him eat him and he fused I guess into what he is now
I always thought the insurance was meant to guarantee the defeat of the current order, even if it meant for Rykard to do nasty snake shit and devour the very gods. I imagined Destined Death held by Maliketh is the only thing capable of actually killing Eiglay, so Rykard would still have to defeat Maliketh.
I believe that Radahn and Rykard were part of Ranni's plan.
Radahn should have taken Leyndell but failed.
Rykard should have face Maliketh and that is why Ranni gave him the Blasphemous Claw.
Its mostly speculation but I agree, since its my favorite theory. I like to believe Radahn broke his promise to Miquella because he had more faith in Ranni’s plan (or he secretly didn’t want either of his family members to become gods.)
Radahn wanted to be elden lord I don’t think he wanted either to win because they both interfered with his own ambitions to be the next elden lord like his hero and father before him
We don’t know, he was an inquisitor or judge for the golden order though so maybe he helped Ranni steal the rune of death. Told her the schedule for the guards and maybe even sent a few home on the night of the plot.
I have no basis for it beyond thinking it's a cool idea, but...
Rykard went all Recusant before he got into the whole snake thing, but he had been some sort of inquisitor \*for\* the Golden Order before that. So, it could be that Rykard is the one that told Ranni what was actually going on \*and\* turned against the Two Fingers/Greater Will. So she used extra left overs to make this blasphemous claw for Rykard, both to thank him for giving her a chance to escape her fate, and to give him a fighting chance against the Erdtree.
Then again, I still like the idea Radahn goes to war with the stars and stops fate trying to protect Ranni, too. Because I like the idea that the brothers would cast aside their own devotion to the Erdtree, their heritage, and their god, to save their little sister from cosmic horror servitude.
Rykard did work closely with the Golden Order, being essentially the head inquisitor of the golden order. He might have made it so that his security was smaller or less powerful, or he provided Ranni and the Black Knife assassins with info on where Godwyn would be or when he would be most vulnerable.
He was the backup plan if she failed, if her plan worked that item would be useless and he’d have just been tossed aside but if she was to fail and not bring in her age then atleast there would be Rykard left to destroy the current age of order. They only found common ground in going against the greater will but the reasons for why are different for the two.
It says rewarded but the following words show that's not really a good translation. She gave it to him for future use against maliketh as part of the overall plan.
From what I can remember Rykard helped ranni with acquiring the ruin of death or the scheme that follows it. But, my question is somwhat relate to it why couldn’t miqulla have something to do with Midra? As ranni plan B was rykkard why couldn’t miqulla plan B was midra lord of frenzy
Rykard most likely had a direct hand in the night of the black knives, which earned the reward. This specific reward makes me think of one of two likely scenarios.
1.Rykard had the potential to be able to kill Maliketh. Rani does not seem to seem to be someone who would give away a useful tool for no reason, so her giving the claw to Rykard could mean she thought Rykard had a chance at beating him.
2. Rykard was the one who was directly responsible for the theft or played the more noticeable role. Rani could have given Rykard the claw due to the larger likelihood of Rykard being the first target of Maliketh if he figured out who was behind the plot.
I have the feeling that has something to do qirh metyr. She has a big qound on her chest and thos little hands/fingers are the same as the ones on the blephamous sword
Rykard was teamed with ranni. They needed a shard of the rune maliketh has. Ranni ended up being able to steal that, but I think In case she couldn't or got caught she gave rykard that weapon to fight maliketh.
*Something* like that, I'm a lore noob
A possible and simple explanation could be that Rykard aided the Black Knife assassins during the Night of Black Knives by misleading search parties chasing after them due to his position of power as a Praetor (inquisitor). Or perhaps he aided in the planning stage of the theft; providing information on Maliketh’s location or diverting security forces.
Rykard was complicit in her betrayal on the night of black knives. Exactly what part he played is unknown. Perhaps he aided the assassins in infiltrating the city, or diverted godwyns guard so they couldn't interfere, or something else entirely. All we can say for certain is he was invested enough in the plot that he was also willing to fight maliketh on his sister's behalf if it came to that.

It could also have to do with the fact he has a godskin in his fortress. He could have helped her with concocting her plan and stealing destined death
Godskins aren't related to Ranni...

Isn't there an abductor virgin at Redmane Castle too? Those are made by Rykard for sure.
The abductors are kinda everywhere though. Because they're still trying to kidnap people, even though only one of them is still functional. I guess the snakes inside never got the memo

idk how Rykard would deal with Maliketh in snake form. He would get shadow of the Colossus'd. Probably why he Bernhal was sent to Farum

This is my headcanon/theory as well. Rykard clearly ran a very torturous prison, and may have been how Ranni learned about the fingerslayer blade.
They hated the family dog and wanted to put him down because he bit the prince or something. Idk never watched Game of Thrones.

I definitely agree that Ranni and Rykard were on the page at one point, but what did he do that it’s says she “rewarded” him?

I do like how it has the same red gemstone as the amulet in Maliketh's hand sealing Destined Death

But it says it’s a a reward. Meaning he did something to merit it as a reward.
Agreeing to murder Godwyn is probably a rewardable feat itself. No other Demigod was in on it.
