INKTOBER 22 - Dominula, Windmill Village, Elden Ring
Surrounded by flowers, this area is terrifying.
I don't deny that it was the first thing I said when I first arrived at this place, that it reminded me of the movie Midsommar and the lore of this village is more terrifying.

I have reached Dominula, the village of windmills.
There's something off about this place. I don't trust it.

The Dominula celebrants use all of the parts of the people they eat, from thr more obvious things like skin for clothes and skulls and bones for hammers, there's also things like using leg bones as canes for the particularly elderly or teeth and knuckle bones for games for the young ones.

i adore these women and their ingenuity and resourcefulness. the land has had little to offer in bounty, and yet they persevere, embracing and celebrating the old cycles of death and rebirth that ruled the ages long ago. they share a connection to the earth itself, founded on methods and teachings that have passed from generation to generation, as far back it would seem as knowledge itself.
they took me in immediately and treated me as one of their own. i was naive to think that my studies and observations into the inner workings of things would be beneficial to them, but their primeval understandings make my insight and experiences seem trivial and fraught. they were gracious not to show it.
the whispers and warnings of what transpires in Dominula are, to my mind, founded on the superstitions and hatred for womanhood that have persisted for eons. thankfully, it does not appear to affect them, as they feel no shame in their way of life.
and yet if there were secrets to be kept, they would be held safely with me.

A somewhat unusual detail I haven't seen much explored, the Dominula dancers seem to have styled their hair after Marika and her cut braid.
Already, it's rather strange that the Windmill Villages are decorated with festooned crucifixes resembling Marika's seal. Given the lore anecdotes about some sort of ceremony involving a maiden in blue and the harvesting of human bones, not to mention the presence of a Godskin Apostle, it makes me think this ritual involved imitating the goddess and offering up each other's flesh in place of godskin...
(Also, this probably isn't widely known since you never quite see Marika's back, but she actually does have a third braid behind her head. It takes some careful positioning to even glimpse it on her statue, lol.)

HI HI!!
I bring asks about Ysildri!
4. What's a hobby they used to have that they miss?
25. What subject/topic do they know a lot about that's completely useless to the plot?
53. Who would/ do they believe without question?
Hello, and thank you! I think this is the first time I’ve ever gotten a chance to reply to an OC ask!
4. Gardening. Before the Tarnished were banished from the Lands Between, Ysildri was married to a perfumer and lived with her wife at the apothecary located near the beginning of Leyndell in the game. While she wasn’t skilled in the art of perfumery, she enjoyed simply taking care of the plants in and around her home as a pleasant distraction.
25. Ysildri was born in the windmill village of Dominula, which I imagine was far more pleasant back then rather than how it is in the game. Because she grew up on a farm before becoming a knight’s squire, she learned a lot of practical skills at a young age like animal husbandry, basic repairs, and an understanding of how to grow food. She takes good care of Torrent because of all this.
53. For the longest time, it would have been Marika. As a devoted knight of Leyndell, Ysildri would have been completely loyal to her Queen. This loyalty is shaken after her banishment and return to the Lands Between and upon learning the corruption at the heart of the Golden Order. During her journey, this attitude would have shifted to Melina. Ysildri is one who gives others the benefit of the doubt and generally chooses to trust others until they give her a reason not to. Melina is kind and brave and Ysildri is happy to receive her guidance.

(Dancing in Dominula Village)
((Finally bringing the Elden Ring world to life with a story of Venus, Link, and Jonas, three nomadic brothers finding an all too familiar village))
The three brothers had been wandering since the Lift, the second oldest hellbent on finding the man call Goldmask. The youngest could not care less, haven taken the darker path of Blood and Blasphemy. And the Eldest was trying his hardest to keep the three together, being apart was what had changed their little brother for the worst.
“Hold.” Jonas grabbed Venus by the back of their armor and yanked him back, making the three bend down. “Up ahead…”
The three stared ahead at the rather… strange sighting ahead of them. Women dancing in festive garb, laughing and spinning to their hearts content. Unbothered of the despair and chaos around them. The area was decorated with beautiful pink flowers that Venus struggled to identify off the top of their head, but he didn’t trust them one bit.
“Are they… do you think they’re dangerous?” Venus whispered, looking at his two oldest brothers.
“Probably, everything around here is. We’re getting closer to the Capital.” Link, the wisest of the three, whispered back, keeping a grip on Venus’s arm.
The three inched closer, the laughing getting louder as they moved up the hill, readying for battle. But the women paid them no mind, dancing and laughing in the flower. In the middle of the circle was a bonfire, cooking a poor nobleman that probably hadn’t seen that coming-
“VENUS MOVE!” Jonas grabbed the warrior and threw him back as an explosion of fire nearly took him out right there. “Did you not here me?!” Jonas pulled him up and dusted them off despite his rather hostile out burst of anger.
“I… I know this place.” Venus whispered, watching the women sing and dance. “Mother used to be one of these women.”
Link had destroyed any of the remaining explosive threats, and tossed Venus the nobleman’s clothes, stating it seeming to be his style. He hadn’t heard what Venus said.
“They are celebrating. This is a summer festival… the garb they wear are festival attire. But something’s terribly wrong. The flowers are poisonous, but not deadly. They can cause hallucinations, but I can’t remember the name. I’ll have to look when we get back to the Hold.
As for the windmills, they’re could have also been something in the grain they ate to cause them to act like this. Perhaps a plague of some sort? I’m unsure of that… but mother was here. I can sense it.”
Link was clearly beginning to get antsy just standing in a circle of dancing ladies on the brink of insanity. His hand rested on his blade. Jonas, however, was puzzled.
“Mother? What in the name of the stars are you talking about? We have no mother.”
“Someone had to birth us, yes? I can feel it, in my heart, that she was here… a dancing maiden-“
“This is wonderful and all but I’d rather not just stand here and discuss this. I’m uncomfortable and would rather discuss this when we have more answers.” Which was just Link’s way of saying he was done and wanted to leave.
The three had traveled a bit further, finding more in the village but had been quickly overwhelmed despite the three of them. They headed back to the Roundtable Hold to regroup and for Venus to study before it drove him to madness trying to think.
“A cult of dancing women huh? Why does that make so much sense for you?” Venus looked up from his book, a rather exhausted looking Vax walking in with a plate of fire warmed bread with cheese over the top.
“Whatever do you mean, my light?” Venus pouted, putting their book down and happily taking the plate. He took a big bit as Vax sat in the chair next to them, looking into the fire.
“Are you alright, love?” Venus put the plate down on the table and watched his lover’s face.
“I’ve worried Kerry I think, I got a bit to excited to eat a dragon heart.”
“I don’t believe you’re supposed to do that.”
Vax nodded, a small chuckle leaving his lips.
“We found a church instead, somewhere I can give the hearts too instead. Easier and less fatty.” Venus made a face and shook his head. “Anyway, tell me more of this summer festival.”
“I believe it’s either a non-deadly plague, or perhaps a hallucinogenic flower that’s caused the mass destruction. I’ve read more on the village from Gideon’s library and saw they are… violent. A ritual was basically happening- did Link tell you I nearly got blown up?”
Vax nodded, getting up to move. Venus frowned, thinking he was leaving before he was picked up as well, then set back into Vax’s lap as the man sat down. Venus smiled at him, beginning to play with his hair as he talked.
“Anyway, they also had windmills, which lead me to believe there could have also been something in the grain to cause them to act this way. I still can’t find the flower though… but that’s what I’m looking for now.”
Vax listened to every word, rubbing Venus’s side as he talked. The two were still stuck on how Venus could possibly know their mother was there once… but it just made sense.

Looking for a romantic getaway? Visit scenic Dominula, the charming Windmill Village! Its rustic paths, charming farm houses, and abundance of flowers paint a sweet picture, if you can overlook...everything else.

Top 10 Video Games of All Time: bobgoesw00t Edition (Part 08)
Quick update before I get to my revealing my Number 3 Video Game of All Time! My immediate family is coming over on Christmas Eve and we're opening our presents that night, so I'll either be posting Number 2 then and Number 1 on Christmas, OR I'll be posting 2 on Sunday and 1 on Tuesday...OK now onto the actual game.
I had a hard time picking this one and I kept alternating between it and my Number 2 pick being in the other’s spot, but in the end I had to put the Game of the Year winner at The Game Awards 2022 here. So this means if you haven't heard by now, Number 3 goes to:
That's right, the MASSIVE behemoth from the brilliant (and partially masochistic) minds at FromSoftware that some people will say stole the GotY award from Dad of Boy Ragnarok, Elden Ring.
Now I feel like I need to mention that this is the first FromSoftware/SoulsBorne/Seikiro game I've legit owned, but I DID however play a bit of Dark Souls Remastered on my Switch to help prepare for when I started this game. I didn't beat Dark Souls (didn't even get past the first main area xD) but I got enough of a feel for it that I felt ready to tackle whatever The Lands Between.
And I did a good job...at first... I made a Warrior and made the mistake of going straight for Stormveil Castle and got my ass handed to me by Margit. SO after going, "FUCK THIS", I ran around the did stuff in the Weeping Peninsula and even opened that damn teleport trap in the Dragon-Burnt Ruins, ended up in Caelid and yeeted myself out of that damn mine ASAP. I eventually managed to get past Margit and cleared Stormveil Castle and headed into the next area (and discovered the hidden side route to it a bit later)...which is when it started to go south.
After a bit of struggling, I managed to get to Rennala and was able to kill her first stage without any struggle when OH BOY, SHE FUCKED ME UP IN THE SECOND STAGE!!!!! No matter what I tried, I couldn't kill her so I tried to find the back way to the Altus Plateau (cause I knew there HAD to be one as Liurnia and Caelid both had one) only to get stuck on one of the enemies and after 24 hours, I decided to make a different character (cause I had wanted to try out the magic in the game), made an Astrologer and in the end, she's the Tarnished who has since become Elden Lord twice (once with the Age of the Stars and again with the Age of the Duskborn). Already on my third run with her and I'm debating on which ending to go with but enough about MY journey.
People will tell you that Elden Ring is "HARD" just like the other FromSoftware games of late, but I'm here to tell you the game is only as hard as you make it 95% of the time. As long as you take your time going through areas, make sure not to over aggro and get overwhelmed, you won't have much of a problem taking out regular enemies. Bosses are a bit trickier obviously, but if you know how to exploit various parts of the game (the Bleed status can be VERY fucking powerful) and use the correct Spirit Ash Summon (those are in the game for a reason idiots who insist that they "break the game"), bosses can also be somewhat easier to kill.
The Lands Between are BEAUTIFUL (the only open world game that's prettier IMO is Ghost of Tsushima and dare I say it, the last three Assassin's Creed games), MASSIVE and full of locations to check out, which is one of the games main strengths. If you get stuck on a boss, back track a bit, explore a different part of the world, and come back when you've leveled up a bit and/or have upgraded your weapons. There's a high chance that you'll be able to kill the boss then and DAMN does it feel satisfying. Hell, you might do what I did on Haruka (my Astrologer) and spend so much time exploring other areas (I FINALLY found the back way onto the Altus Plateau and spent a good chuck on time up there. I also managed to find the greatest location in the entire game IMO: Dominula, Windmill Village...if you need any proof, I present the following video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_JthoRyAb2Y&feature=shares) that when you go back to fight said boss, you'll be a bit OVER leveled and totally fuck them up...which is what happened to Rennala...and it was perfection!!!
There's also a large amount of weapons to try out and it won't be long before you find the one piece of equipment that you'll carry for the rest of the game. I ended up with Moonveil (fully upgraded to +10), and the Meteorite Staff to abuse it's boost to Gravity Magic...quite a few bosses don't stand a chance if you spam Rock Sling while using this staff. Spam the spell until you break their poise, run in for the Critical Hit, RUN AWAAAAAAAAAY, and then repeat until the boss goes "BLEH".
Armor, while not doing much at times, is also important at times as the passive increases to the resistance stats can make a big difference if Poison, Scarlet Rot and what not stack enough to be inflicted. Not to mention some of the armor is REALLY FUCKING COOL LOOKING, with my special shout-out going to the Black Knife Set for having a cloak that makes you partially invisible.
Then there's the various usable items and good god some of them are totally fucking hysterical...I'm talking of course about the Mimic's Veil, the item that turns you into a JPEG of a random object you'll find in the world. This is what got me to the Red Wolf of Radagon my first run! I tossed a throwing knife/dagger at a foe, broke line of sight, used the Mimic's Veil to hide and when the dumb ass came over to find me they go, "HMMM, THERE'S NOTHING HERE BUT A RANDOM TREE THAT SHOULDN'T BE HERE...OH WELL! I GUESS SHE'S GONE!", proceed to slowing walk away which is when I go "BAM", stab them in the back and they die. It's even funnier if you've been turned into a Weeping Angel like what happened to me one time: https://twitter.com/bobgoesw00t/status/1500987346421956613
I want to talk about the music now before I give the summary, some additional notes and the score. The various composers NAILED the soundtrack and I actually spent a good amount of time in the Character Creator the first time simply because of the pretty music that plays on it. The Final Battle track is STUPIDLY EPIC cause it's a more layered version of the Title Screen music and once it transitions to the Elden Beast, you hear a subtle, but still GORGEOUS bit of music that has a majestic feel to it, but NOTHING, and I mean, NOTHING can top the Regal Ancestor Spirit. HOLY MOTHER FUCKING HELL does that track give you goosebumps the first time you hear it. That boss fight isn't really that hard in comparison to some of the others due to how unique it looks and the music only helps make it the more memorable. I won't post a link to the track for those who haven't played the game cause I really don't want to spoil it for them.
Lastly, I want to talk about the two of the main boss fights, both of which are optional but are insane. Gonna talk about the badass bitch in The Lands Between first...you know her, you've talked about her, you've seen people rage quit/throw their controller/uninstall the game because of her, and just two weeks ago, Animal revealed that he thirsts for her at The Game Awards. I'm talking of course about none other than Malenia Blade of Miquella. A few months ago before G4 got shut down again, X-Play had an entire stream where Froskurrin tied for almost two hours to kill this badass mofo and she couldn't do it. My take on Malenia is this: don't even bother trying to kill her on your first run of the game. I managed to get to her on my first run, tried twice, and she fucked me up so quickly that I went, "NOPE!!! NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE, FUCK THIS, I'LL TRY IN THE NEXT RUN!!!!!" Which is when I nailed the Goddess of Rot and celebrated.
The other boss is probably the most epic fight in the entire game, the demigod that fought Malenia to a standstill and turned all of Caelid into a land of Scarlet Rot, Starscourge Radahn. What makes this battle so memorable is how you aren't supposed to take him on by yourself, but instead rally the various NPC allies to draw aggro away from you (even Patches who OF COURSE, nopes out of there within ten seconds of calling him xD) while they chip away at his health. Not to mention how the second phase starts with him leaping into the stratosphere, only to come CRASHING DOWN LIKE A METEOR and take out anyone dumb enough to be in the landing zone. This is also when you can totally cheese him by standing next to the edge of the ocean and if you position yourself correctly, you can get him to drown himself when he comes screeching back down to Earth. Now I have NO idea if they've patched this out yet (like they did with the two cheese methods the Fire Giant had) as I have yet to get to that fight in my current run of the game but if it's still there...I totally intend to do it. The battle is also hysterical in the fact that THE ENTIRE TIME you and your allies are fighting him, he's being carried around by a tiny, skinny horse that he is WAAAAY TOO BIG TO BE RIDING ON (and is only able to do so because of Gravity Magic) and it flails around like a Muppet every time it moves. Don't believe me, HERE'S THE PROOF: https://youtube.com/watch?v=OxvrVbV6RkU&feature=shares&t=588
In the end, Elden Ring TOTALLY deserved it's Game of the Year win at The Game Awards for not only having a MASSIVE world to explore with a large variety of places to explore, beautiful music, the traditional SoulsBorne combat with new additions (like being able to jump xD) and fine tuning to perfection. It also has a world created with help from George RR Martin, tutorials that are much clearer and can be re-read at any given time if need, abilities that are given at a good pace and some of the most intense boss fights ever. It certainly won my personal Game of the Year and is getting 5 Critical Hits out of 5: 5/5
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Dad of Boy/God of War (2018): While I'm talking about God of War Ragnarok, I want to mention the 2018 Game of the Year winner. Dad of Boy is a MASTERPIECE of story telling (a TRILLION times more so than the likes of Uncharted and The Last of Us. The latter being a good game with a good story, but it's nowhere NEAR a MASTER CLASS IN STORY TELLING. HELL, THE ORIGINAL RESIDENT EVIL ON THE PLAYSTATION HAS A BETTER STORY EVEN WITH THE CRINGEY DIALOG, "YOU WERE ALMOST A JILL SANDWICH" being a particular highlight xD), Atreus/Loki/BOY is a pure and precious cinnamon roll for most of the game and the fact that the entire game is done in a single take is impressive.
inFamous 2:Sucker Punch took everything from the first game, perfected it, upped the stakes in terms of the plot, gave it REALLY good soundtrack, a greater variety of powers (all of which are fun to use) and two endings totally worth playing this baby twice to get.
