Who's this

that's not a body in the OP, it's just facsimile growths

how the fuck do you people know that? where does it say that? legit question

His body is spreading all over. Even some crabs have his dumb face attached to them.

The roots are copying his corpse's form.

Observation, nigga
Go to any area where deathroot can be found and you'll find Godwyn-faces hidden one place or another

what the hell, ranni is a fucking demon, why the hell are people simping for that cunt?

bob nd vegana

Making the mother of all omelettes here, Tarnished. Can't fret over every egg.

Does anyone else wonder if this was also ritual humiliation? GRRM loves that shit, and Godwyn's new appearance parodies the crucible's horns/tail/breath trifecta

>his face is spreading?
Godwyn was killed by Ranni's assassins, but instead of just dying his body turned into a corrupting force. He was buried under the Erd Tree, which is why his real corpse is there, but the corruption that spread from him, which some people call "Deathroot" appears to be branching out and tainting other things. And for some reason anywhere his taint spreads, his corrupted face shows up. It's on monsters, it's on items, etc.

So the answer is, I think the face under Stormveil is just an implication that the place is thoroughly and completely tainted by Deathroot. Godwyn's corruption has spread all the way there, and in such a major way that a huge version of his face appears. It's likely going to happen other places too.

Not even really her fault. The golden order are the dumb fucks that buried him in the Erd Tree roots.

how were they supposed to know lmao

Well even as he's getting stabbed we never see him below the waist
Maybe he just was a fish

even the basilisks (the frogs-like enemies) have the same face/eyes

The giant cenepede mark seems like dead giveaway but what do I know.

This bogs me. Why would they do it? Seriously, what's the purpose?

astounding head cannon. Whats also astounding is that you and souls fag will defend what you wrote like its undeniable confirmed truth and not just wild speculation.

So not only is the curse spreading in the corruptible way and kills but it also has the sense of humor to projects his face, that looks like a face of a mastodon without tusks it seems, despite him being a humanoid.

Is there any reason his body was just put there attached to the roots of the Erdree and not just buried somewhere else in a normal big tomb?
Sounds like a stupid thing to do.

...what? What did I say that you disagree with?

Your post is extremely nonsensical.

That's true but the clam encroaching his face from two sides can be inferred as a mockery of horns, the putrid cloud of flies and stench is like breath, and the tail is piscine (commonly considered smelly/rotting). You can even consider his arms perched like when someone imitates wings.

His immortality in the first place was a part of the ayylmao scheme. Ranni will remove the ayylmao influence from the world forever, but first she has to free herself from their influence. This involves killing a lot of shit, including her dedicated ayylmao groomer, and herself. But she can't kill herself outright because she's immortal, so she half kills herself and half kills Godwyn. That's a loophole, apparently. Yes it's bad that Godwyn's metastasized-ass body still lives and spreads like an abomination, but it'll all be over soon.

and his golden locks, too

or maybe its just the reuse of the same creature from every other souls game and you are trying too hard to make it sensical.

mocking images of guilt is common as fuck in japanese literature you dumb fuck cunt fuck you

>Is there any reason his body was just put there attached to the roots of the Erdree and not just buried somewhere else in a normal big tomb?
From what I understand, the idea is that the Erd Tree is the recycler for souls in this universe, and many people seek its' roots as a way to allow their body to fertilize the tree so their soul can be reborn. I don't remember if it was ever specified WHO buried Godwyn under the Erd Tree or exactly WHY, but my guess would be that his successors in the Golden Lineage did it because it was just a custom. I'm not sure his placement there has any real significance.

>Sounds like a stupid thing to do.
I mean, the Jar People in this world literally sprang into being because the followers of the Golden Order would collect dead bodies and stuff them into jars and use them to fertilize minor Erd Trees, and eventually they just got stuck with a soul because of that. So lots of things are stupid in this world.

Gotta give him a proper burial and all that

>see the malformation on a random rock that resembles the face of a cat
>OMG LOOK ITS JESUS LOOK ITS HIS FACE NATURE IS PROJECTING HIS IMAGE

>but it'll all be over soon.
user I don't think it will
You and Ranni just fuck off and leave the planet to it's fate of eventually being consumed by Godwyn's death cancer.

Read Uzumaki retard

>the idea is that the Erd Tree is the recycler for souls in this universe,
Under the Greater Will's whole system of things, and probably only in The Lands Between. Remember, there's a bunch of outer gods

But Ranni the entire planet will be nothing but Godwyn because this!

I have. The concepts, themes or a "plot" in no way resemble the shit from ER

>the Jar People in this world literally sprang into being because the followers of the Golden Order would collect dead bodies and stuff them into jars and use them to fertilize minor Erd Trees
Oh, shit. So that is why there are a lot of broken jars at the foot of the Minor Erdtrees. Never thought of it.

Do you think that a video game, made by specific people who literally are known for stuffing their games with environmental and visual storytelling nuances that communicate unwritten details about the world, a video game where someone literally had to go and specifically model and create this malformed creature thing by hand, based on design input from the creative writers...somehow has no actual meaning behind any of it, and that it's all just completely random stuff scribbled into being by someone wearing a blindfold?

Yeah, a rock that looks sort of like a cat is just a fucking rock. Unless someone literally took the time to carve and shape and paint that rock so that it sort of looks like a cat, in which case it is not just a fucking rock anymore.

Well the rune of death is unbound by the end of the game. Send a couple chumps down there with some destined death to deal with it

Joining the dots is that he was put there for few reasons: first because he was not really dead and there could be a risk of a further assassination attempt and, second, given the iron fist with which the GO has always dictated the law, having a putrescent monster on display was an insult to all the dogmas imposed in the lands between. Moreover, and this is no small thing, making him a martyr offered GO an advantageous position and put dissidents in a bad light. On the disposition of the body, I think it was simply thrown in the first useful ditch not reachable by anyone, with the possibility that it could be absorbed by the roots and then recycled in the most silent way possible

Also Rogier explicitly says it's godwyn

I call bullshit on this outer god bullshit. It just sounds like fanatics inside the game's world misinterpreting their own doctrines. The only substantial forces seem to be Erdtree, Moon and Formless Mother, with it being entirely possible that the GW/GO representing the cohesion of the three aspects. Death doesn't actually seem to be an entity, just a force that multiple people have tried to manipulate in the past, including Marika.

>So that is why there are a lot of broken jars at the foot of the Minor Erdtrees. Never thought of it.
Correct. It's also why Alexander's first thought on how to get stronger after losing to Radahn is to stuff the corpses of ancient warriors inside of him. Because He's already filled with the rotted, mashed-up goo of random people.

I know, that's not really my point. My point with that post is I think this dude is shitposting by saying "It just looks like weird random bullshit so it must clearly be weird random nonsense bullshit, and not something specifically hand-crafted by video game developers over many months for a very specific purpose".

There's also the Rot god and the Frenzied Flame

>You and Ranni just fuck off and leave the planet to it's fate of eventually being consumed by Godwyn's death cancer.
There's one thing that you've forgot to mention - Greater Will fucks off as well, meaning that Erdtree and demigods will wither and die.

There are downsides, though - there are still two other ayylmaos (Frenzied Flame and whoever is responsible for Scarlet Rot) who will be left unchecked. Frenzied Flame most probably will fuck off as well since it's antithesis of Greater Will, however we have no idea about Scarlet Rot being.

Then you're lost mentally

Well yeah, he's baiting.

is there mo0re to him or is he just another lovecraftian god of chaos? ngl when shabriri told me about lighting myself on fire I was kinda hyped expecting some connection to Dark Souls

The major problem I have is one of scale. The game sort of plays up the Greater Will as if it were "God" (a la Christianity). Which I get. But technically there are also other powers out there that are not referred to as gods at all, but still at least conceptually stand alongside the Greater Will. I suppose one could argue that neither the Moon nor the Flame are actually going out of their way to make anything happen like the Greater Will is, but if you ask me I don't see any indication in game that the Greater Will even exists at all.

>because he was not really dead and there could be a risk of a further assassination attempt and, second, given the iron fist with which the GO has always dictated the law, having a putrescent monster on display was an insult to all the dogmas imposed in the lands between.
Just put him in a big fancy tomb in Leyndell. Makes more sense than thowing him in the roots.

Frenzied flame just seems to be the darker aspect of the GW, hence it being 3 fingers of the other 2 (The merchants carry full handed sticks, and the beastmen worship a five fingered entity).

The rot entity coud maybe be something, but my opinion is that it's a bioweapon utilised by GW to purge/recreate the world if death/rebirth is unavailable (Godwyn)

In lieu of any other outer god the frenzied flame would probably burn the world down pretty easily. Maybe Ranni can use her newfound godhood to save Miquella and they can force all the other gods to fuck off for good.

Because he's the demigod son of Marika and being buried at the very roots of the Erdtree is the most prestigious burial possible for anyone in the lands between

Black knives and Godskin apostles are led by different people right? But why was Iji covered in black flames with assassin corpses around?

>can't just go down there and stab him with a black knife again to solve that problem once and for all

the GW is the hope/superstition that there is an entity ensuring order amongst all these chaotic aspects. It exists in some ways, but not in the ways the world's people think. gold/red/purple phantoms are probably the biggest indicator of GW's real intent, which is probably just to have the player themself move the wheel of time. It's not concerned about the world perse, it's concerned about it's logical conclusion, and rebirth
