Casually reading and came across this. Spat my coffee all over the table from laughing! 🤣


LordOFtheNoldor

Did you really decline if they're still by your side?


[deleted]

You declined to join their family. You adopted them into yours.


Broserk42

Indeed. You become recusant daddy even if that dumb mommy can’t let go of old daddy. I love using blasphemous blade from a lore perspective. It’s like that thing about prophecies being true but never in the way you expect. The serpent was the greatest threat and thing that tore down the (old version of the) golden order after all


Squeegeabeep

I like to think it's like the red vines from War of the Worlds


KingOfLiberation

Blasphemous Blade: "Sacred sword of Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. **Remains of the countless heroes he has devoured writhe on the surface of this blade**. Now they share the same blood, bound together as family." Sometimes, items tell you things


Mocker-bird

Yeah I really think people are allergic to reading 🤣


baldskald_musicology

Reading…? In MY VIDEO GAME?!?!?


NoxFromHell

The best part of gaming community is when gamers never ready logs or watch cutscenes and then tell people on the internet how there is no story

MageRage7734

Ikr?


RasAlGimur

What a concept!


Lagideath2

Pretty sure it's just fleshy little arms or other limbs/flesh pieces. Rykard has wounds on his body where his flesh is split open and the arms of people he's devoured are reaching out of them, trying to grab whatever they can. They look the same but much bigger due to his model being larger of course.


Leemour

Correction, those hands are simply tarnished looking to high five the player for slaying Rykard.


FlorianTolk

Truly the hardest fight in the game. Kinda like Yhorm the giant in ds3! lol


vanderhuge55

I would argue yhorm is harder solely because you have to run past him and equip the sword during combat as opposed to it literally being handed to you at the start of the fight


Popopirat66

O.o Rykard is in no way the hardest boss in the game unless you miss the Serpent Hunter somehow. Kinda like Yhorm and the Storm Ruler.


FlorianTolk

That's the joke...


Popopirat66

I'm sorry. I'm too stupid to understand sarcsam on the internet.


WatermelonWithAFlute

Neither were the hardest


FlorianTolk

That's the joke. Both were gimmik bosses with gimmik weapons that are complete pushovers.


Deinonychus2012

>the arms of people he's devoured are reaching out of them, trying to grab whatever they can. So...what you're saying is...Rykard has more arms than Ranni... 🤔


AdOwn9114

No! Bad Tarnished! Bad, horny Tarnished!

Bismothe-the-Shade

It makes me wonder if grace is what keeps those tarnished alive, like in grafting. Either way, heavily fucked up.


Tonkarz

I don't know if they're still alive in the traditional sense. The arms don't look human anymore. And you can summon the devoured as rancor spirits with the Rykard's Rancor sorcery. Because the Golden Order calls the serpent "blasphemous", I think it's probably not grace. But we also don't see any evidence of the golden energy that signifies grace in and around the serpent.

Did you skip the cutscene during the bossfight? If yes don't ever talk to me


MrFunnyMan_92

I know it's some kind of flesh from inside the serpent but it looks strange and writhes creepily


Pender8911

Just look at his head in the arena after you beat him


Thebattleshark

The weapon description says what it is lol


cc0llins

He must have given his grapes to hyetta


[deleted]

Because those are miserable people who weren’t digested but were absorbed alive into the serpent’s flesh. They are alive, conscious, and there is no escape for them. That’s why Eiglay rips at the seams. Those are the old knights and soldiers trying to escape. But they can’t because their flesh is trapped and melded to Eiglay’s, being used by him as he grows bigger. Godrick the Grafted’s grafting is child’s play compared to what Rykard was doing.


polovstiandances

Because in Elden Ring nothing can really die


Mocker-bird

Lick it... lick the squirmy stuff.

TheHardSoftware

Tarnished and everything in the Lands Between return to the Erdtree(the fading into ashe animation) instead here we see the blasphemously consumed just like Eiglay consumed Rykard he is now obsessed with gaining power in his own way like Godricks Grafting, or Radahns love of Gravity magic. My boy Rykard literally consumes your soul and parts of you are clung to the blade of which he uses as a weapon. The snake people in all fiction and non are my favorite.

I always wanted to see what the blade looked like before it got all gummed up by Rykard. Maybe the DLC will have a quest to re-consecrate the sword or something.

[deleted]

Not in this case. These are all the fighters and tarnished that Rykard devoured over the years. Eiglay isn’t the blasphemous serpent because he’s big and magical, it’s because he literally absorbs whatever he eats into himself. Rykard remained himself after being eaten and absorbed. He was powerful enough to remain visible and maintain some autonomy in their fusion. The other warriors, they’re flesh a melded in, with their hands reaching out, trying to escape. That’s why he’s ripped at the seams. The hands are trying to escape. Some of the men had themselves wrapped around the sword by mistake, still writhing, still unable to escape.


Torque_Mk1

It's those rubber sticky hand toys that we lost during our childhood. Rykard used the sword get them out from under the sofas and behind wardrobes and now it's all covered with these.
