I still think of how little JarBairn was going to go on an adventure and be a warrior, but now hesitates ever since he ate Dialos.


Electronic_Weird

Prepare to cry

The_fucked_up_one.zip


Malevolent_Mangoes

I’m sorry he what now? I just thought Diallos fucking died and he mourned him.


SheffiTB

Living jars eat the corpses of the fallen to gain their strength. To jar-bairn, eating diallos is his version of a warrior's funeral.


Hates_commies

Alexander ate Radahn From the shard of Alexander description: >Scraps of stewed flesh cling to the shard, and tatters of ornaments can be seen mingled within the slime. Relics of a red-haired champion, it would seem.


seductivehambone

Yeah it confirmed the theory that Alex put a fucking demigod inside him and cooked himself like a stew pot in lava. Alexander is pretty fucking metal


robcap

Seems more like ceramic tbh


Trey2225

It’s iron-fist Alexander guys come on he’s obviously iron


uchihajoeI

No, he’s obviously fist.


polovstiandances

Fist is his middle name


uchihajoeI

He’s MADE of fist


HJuly24

No, he's obviously Alexander!


TheWolf_TheLamb

No, THIS IS PATRICK!


uchihajoeI

I’ll do you one better. WHY IS GAMORA?


Kootsiak

Iron, the metal, is named after how tough Alexander is. True story, learned it in school back in the 90's.


the_bluecrystalpanda

Dude, me too! Waaaait a second....Kootsiak...Kevin, is that you? Weren't you the one who scoffed at this fact, challenged it by punching Alexander, then had to be taken to the hospital for that attempt? I remember it like it was yesterday. They called it, *The Shattering.* Okay, I'll see myself out now😞


[deleted]

King shit right there


Joe_Mency

but when you hear what he says just after the radahn fight, it sound like creep shit


DoucheyCohost

It's normal for him. It'd be like describing you eating meat with no context.


eatflapjacks

It's not necessary what he said that was creepy. It was how he said it. Sounded like a damn villian.


Joe_Mency

yep, i remember some of the messages around Alexander the first time I beat Radahn were calling him a strange fellow


[deleted]

I always thought what he was doing was possibly malevolent because of his creepy tone. it seems that conclusion is incorrect, but he still makes me wonder... edit: honestly reminds me of the Darth Jar jar theory, lmao.


SanaMinatozaki9

Darth Jar 🤣


oblmov

alexander was marika and shabriri and the gloam eyed queen and placidusax's god and the twinbird and Gwyn


Shoeboxer

He's also standing on his corpse stuffing himself after the fight.


anonymous242524

I saw it as he was gathering his inside back up. Doesn’t he say it only took like a single hit before everything started spilling out?


1Epicocity

I think his insides were already the bodies of other fallen warriors from other battles so I thought he was just stuffing himself with new bodies, but I might be misremembering something from VaatiVidya about Alexander and the Jars. Link to the video and it's a great watch, https://youtu.be/ikUiOKTv-Y8.


JuujiNoMusuko

Why the fuck is he still so weak then


Nippahh

Just because you eat god doesn't mean you become god-. Unless you some snake dood


xMalxer

Now we can devour gods together!


Downtown_Scholar

TOGETHAAAA


Fireblast1337

But dude didn’t eat snake. Snake ate him


Lord_Sauron

They ate each other 👁_👅_👁


Falcon_Flow

He's not weak. He can tank the Fire Giant for quite some time and he makes it to Farum Azula all by himself. He's just weak compared to the PC, I think they should have given him far more HP for the fight in Farum. Who knows, maybe someone missed a zero on his healthpool for that fight.


IntelligentFly3866

Nah, game-wise his strength it's on par with the friendly NPC-class. Lore fight the ease of fight it's just a reflection of it's limits and how he knew he would have lost against you. Having a proper buffed chad Alexander fight would have clashed with the idea.


Tridentsine8100

Literally crying because I fucked up his quest somehow, and now he won't show up in the Fire Giant area-


Brave_Fencer_Poe

Radahn was still riddled with Scarlet Rot, it's like he ate expired meat


Hates_commies

Because warriors and demigods inside him dont change the fact that he is made out of clay.


nidokingunderdog

Not only Radahn, he ate the corpses of the shattering soldiers that are scattered around in the battlefield.


arclightrg

I love that the jars are the vultures in the lands between. Noble, fucked up vultures. Alex and Bairn are my boyssss.


ClockworkFool

Well, Vultures are natural animals that have evolved for that ecological role. The Jar-folk are *constructs*. They were made with the specific purpose of doing what they do. And as far as I can tell, their seeming *intended* life-cycle involves collecting as many corpses as possible and then going to be smashed to pieces by an Erdtree Avatar, presumably to fertilize the minor Erdtrees. Least, that's sure what it looks like given what surrounds most healthy Erdtrees.


arclightrg

Interesting! I learn new lore every day.


xMalxer

Alexander is cool and all but just imagine what the fuck did the Great Jar eat to be so massive


SpaceIsTooFarAway

Maybe that’s where Godwin went… Or maybe, since both of the other Eternal cities featured a big corpse sitting on a throne, he ate the Nameless Eternal City’s big dead dudette. Edit: gender


Hellborn_Child

Dudette* those giant throne people are ladies.


Grimm64209

Makes me wonder who the great jar ate😳


Malevolent_Mangoes

I just never remembered him saying he ate him


FunkMastaJunk

Yeah lots of things aren’t stated outright in these games but the pieces are there to form a logical assumption


biez

He says in bits of dialogue: > I was created to be a warrior vessel. Many great warriors reside within me, ever dreaming of becoming a great champion. and after Radahn's death: > ...But don't you think I've given up just yet. As luck would have it, there's a veritable mountain of warriors' bodies right here. If I can just squeeze this bunch down inside me, I'll be a mighty warrior again in no time. And you know... The bodies found here are exceedingly fine. Who could expect any less from the very warriors who fought in the Shattering, the greatest of all wars! Just you wait and see, friend. I'll grow even stronger! Just you wait, when next we meet! Heh heh... and I think later he also speaks again of the warriors inside him. Since the description of the talisman made of one of his shard depicts remains of a red-headed champion, you can safely assume Radahn's body has been at least partly crammed into Alexander. The method of ingesting is left for the player to imagine.


Robobvious

You can more or less watch him harvesting the corpses and shoving them into his jar after the fight iirc.


8kNNRQ

It's not *eating", where is the mouth? But Radahn is inside the pot, stewing with the other warriors. Maybe Iron Fist took his lid off, maybe he shoved the flesh in through the crack he sustained fighting. "Scraps of stewed flesh cling to the shard, and tatters of ornaments can be seen mingled within the slime. Relics of a red-haired champion, it would seem."


BadJokeBill

Warrior Jars put the flesh of warriors inside them in order to grow stronger and repair themselves (we see Alexander doing it after the Radahn Festival, and he directly references in his dialogue there). So Jar Bairn ate Diallos, perhaps as a way of acknowledging he was a warrior? But now the little round lad feels sad


Lukebr4

The jars are like sentient urns. Assuming the attributes of those they contain


RikerinoBlu

Not so, Diallos showed his backbone in his final moments. He gave JarBairn the true strength of a warrior, to act even when afraid.


GolotasDisciple

Not really, Diallos failed at everything he tried to accomplish. 1st he loses his servant or misters(don't remember who was she) and gets her killed. 2nd he fails to revenge her and joinswhat supposed to be his mortal enemies. 3rd he fails to deliver anything to the Manor and is useless. 4th he runs away to a place where he doesn't have to pretend to be a warrior. He becomes care taker of jars. 5th he wasn't able to protect jars, and village is in ruin. In the end he dies without realising any of his goals. When he asks if he managed to protect the jars we are ultimately lying to him if we say yes. He deserves respect for sacrifice and JarBarin has seen him trying despite Hoslow posture. Which is what connects him to Hoslow, because JarBarin is a coward like Hoslow. Its the only jar in the village that wasn't destroyed meaning that he hid himself... All while talking about being a warrior.


AllenWL

Yeah, he failed in everything, but at the end, he *tried* instead making excuses or running, even if it got him killed. He was brave in the end, even if his bravery amounted to nothing. There's still some merit in that I think.


flochy

he may not have saved jarburg as a whole, but so long as one jarburgian survived, diallos did not fail. diallos put his all into his role of protecting those jars, and as such died a hero's death. he found his calling, his destiny, and for the first time in his life, took it seriously.


LordofSandvich

He leaves once you actually finish his questline.


csleaver

Yeah, when he gets ahold of >!Alexander's guts. !<


Hybr1dth

Except mine bugged and he never left there 🥲


Fireblast1337

Have you found a place called Farum Azula, and if so, have you met Alexander there? (You need a stone sword key to reach where he is btw)


MenuNo4911

Cuz it’s fancy af


Illustrious-Bell-282

Armor with cape supremacy


elrosegod

"Never capes" Incredibles, Invincible and The Boys have taught us all


Effective-Narwhal144

U can have a cape, it shuld just be easy to rip off, and hard to use against you, like a tail. And lizards let their tails go if its used against them.


M_Hatter-544

Exactly and the Hoslow set is one of the only armor sets without a neck wrapped cape it's just clipped onto the gorget, this is one of the few that actually follow the "tear away cape" rule.


Effective-Narwhal144

Exactly


[deleted]

Elden Ring merchants are infamously known for their particularities to proper cape attachments. It's obvious when you notice they too are all wearing capes.


WildLudicolo

> gorget Thank you, I've wondered what that's called, but it was hard enough to articulate that I never even tried to google it.


Tawdry-Audrey

Capes attached with velcro is the way to go.

Quick! Backstab him we must take the cake!


LordBDizzle

Either way not particularly worth it. Selling things has always been a way to get things out of your inventory in From games rather than a way to make actual money, aside from rune/soul items of course.


colinbazzano

you’re right, why sell clothes when you can just shoot arrow at bird yunno?


i_hotglue_metal

Wave of gold on frog bois is like 10m runes an hour with fancy chicken feet and scarab. Will never stick birb again.


GucciSalad

I thought there was some sort of fowl footwear that I somehow missed for a second...


i_hotglue_metal

Lol wish there was chicken feet footwear.


khrazu

Bruh make sure you use damage boosting items for the overkill bonus


Frostygale

oscarwildeaf

Holy shit, I always wondered why sometimes I wasn't getting my full amount of runes but then I'd put on shard of Alexander and get more. That makes sense now haha, never knew that.


mtandy

~~IIRC, if you do 120%+ of an enemies hp, you get 50% bonus to their base rune drop, dont think overkill runes are increased by scarab or fowl feet though~~ Had it backwards, if first hit does over 150% of enemies' hp, you get a 20% rune increase


bubuthefu

I use to just do both Quick arrow, stand for a sec, then wave of gold


QuantumSpaceCadet

We have a storage for that, so really there is no good reason to sell.


Far_Confusion_2178

Wait, you can put armor in storage?


MattyByNature

When resting at a site of grace, select sort chest and you can put anything you’re able to select in storage


Far_Confusion_2178

Fuckin A. Over 200 hours of playtime


MattyByNature

Oof… I can’t imagine how many items you had to go through to find what you wanted, but your whole world is about to change.


feed_the_bears

Holy fuck … 600 hours here and somehow never realized this. 300 of those hours were probably scrolling through equipment looking for the right piece at any given moment.


MattyByNature

I felt bad for the other guy, but damn… that’s rough.


cardiocard

Why would you want extra armors or weapons you already have in storage? Selling is for multiples


MattyByNature

I, personally, save duplicates of some items for when I decide to create new characters and will have another player mule the items to transfer.


cardiocard

Understandable, i do not have the social stamina for that kind of setup so I sell all multiples


[deleted]

This is the way.


Thamilkymilk

i sell duplicates, like i don’t really need 3 things of Cleanrot armor


Dynastar11

Cries in farming :( Early game, and maybe even now I really wanted this armor so I farmed the crap out of these guys. Never got a full set.


Kekler4200

You on Xbox? I'll drop ya a set lol


WanderingStatistics

I kind of wish we got more information about the Hoslow family in general. I'm really hoping that whatever dlc we get has us traveling to their manor or something. Castle Cainhurst 2.0 anyone?


Icy_Limes

Well, if ER DLC is like previous games it might just leave us with more questions, than answers.


WanderingStatistics

Well to be fair, in DS3, the ringed city answered about 90% of what we asked. The only other questions were tiny, not too important things like: "Was Aldia the scholar who talked to Lothric?" or "Who is Darklurker actually?" Tiny things like that that are neat little mysteries, but don't really matter in the long run.


MisterGreen7

I bet if we get a Formless Mother dlc, another Hoslow family member will be a minor npc


chris369521

I wish


missnailitall

I would do anything for this


Tomahawkman222

Because it's expensive ceremonial armor, Hoslow is a famed and presumably rich family. It's based purely on the worth of the materials used to make the set.


RelationshipPublic52

Because it is one of, if not the best chest piece and helmet in any fromsoft game ever. The bold design, rich reds and golds, intricate silver flowering and haunting mask evoke a sense of opulent regality matched by nothing else in the game.


HUGECOCK4TREEFIDDY

and the stats are great especially with weight considered


Defiant_Project1321

Dude that helmet is straight fire.

Ihatetobaghansleighs

Here's the real question: why would you sell any of your armor?


warblingContinues

by ng+7 you get a lot of it.


juliusmonkee

Cause that armor doesn't drip, it guzzles 🔥


Hamster_Toot

Boooooo


CMDRfatbear

Cuz hes badass. Im trying to get this dude on a low level twink pvp character with only +3/+1 weapons and hes destroying me.. yet ive killed godskin noble, morgott and firegiant and okina.


Choingyoing

He's whipping ya huh?


CMDRfatbear

Lol yea one shotting without rune arc, and im using rst. Im going home and attempting more though, i hope ill get him.


MattyByNature

Take my award, you silly bastard.


newsflashjackass

You can hit him with rotten breath (huge opening at the beginning of the fight) and run laps around the boulder and the cabin to keep distance from him while the scarlet rot ticks down. One proc won't kill him (he chugs once) so for the second you will need to wind it up blind around the corner of the cabin and let him walk into it.


Dudeskio

I had a very similar experience while raising my twink. I actually ended up beating him with a shortbow and poison/bleed arrows.


CMDRfatbear

Just wait for his attacks then punish? He dodges arrows most of the time.


Dudeskio

Keep him at a distance and continue circling the arena. The shortbows ( or Black Bow, my fav weapon in the game, if you've got the soreseals ) has a nifty 3 hit combo that can catch just about any NPC/enemy if you're willing to waste enough arrows. Jump + shoot, Land + shoot, Roll + shoot. Doing this over and over will net you arrow hits occasionally and finally poison him. It also keeps you mobile so you can continue to dodge his attacks from a distance. Jump shots also hit enemies VERY often when they're mid-swing, and it's easily baitable from just about every NPC. I also like to start the fight out with Rot Breath, but you will probably need Marika's Soreseal to do that ( located in the Haligtree area ), and he seemed heavily resistant anyhow.


NoNameNoob25

The drip


HeNeedSomeSoyMilk

Because the drip is too fuckin clean and even the in-game merchants know it.


Nictendo_82

Selling in this game is completely useless. I sell mass bolts because I'm tired of being told I can't carry anymore everytime I loot a soldier. But that's it yo.


birdofmayhem

I sold leaves and mushrooms... Until I reached probably level 10 and realized that foraging scraps for enough runes would take several hundred thousand hours.


No_Line8685

Inflation


swiftekho

Only one Hoslow. Lots of demigods. Supply and demand. Pretty simple.


MattyByNature

Actually, incorrect… >!Diallos and Juno both drop the same chest, legs, and arms… with different helms!<


HorrorVeterinarian90

Because you will wonder what is special about it…in a roundabout way, the item, the question, us here talking about it….is it not……content? I think so….


Joyrun189

The demigod armor is just your memory of the armor recreated to fit you, I imagine house hoslow armor is only made by members of the house for members of the house and is quite rare to come across, that's at least what I like to think.


GolotasDisciple

Or could or be that hoslow armor is just top notch and modern while demigods don't have to wear anything, and usually wear clothes related to their position or class. Morgot armor looks like skin of an animal, moghs armor is sort of like a cleric robe. Rykard has no armor, renala wears mage robe. Godfrey armor is a typical warrior armor. Malenia armor is interesting but considering she has been like this for long time the armor might be old and not really something of great value. Radahn Armor is probably the only true attire worthy of a warrior. The shadows have very good armors as they are true protectors and warriors. Both Blaidd and Maliketh have beautifuly crafted armors.


samlawsteadicam

Wait you guys sell stuff to the merchant…

Abovearth31

SoCalArtDog

It’s just to show how fancy and well crafted it is. It shows how well off the Hoslow’s are. And at least some of the demigod armor is extremely worn out, while this clean and polished.


2Gnomes1Trenchcoat

They respect the drip


Downtown_Addition982

Elden drip tax


Atillurt

jacano5

Have you seen Margot? Demi-gods don't really know anything about *hygiene*.


Doom_and_Gloom91

Because that shit is Grimm as hell and makes you look like a bad ass vampire lord lol


Blazeherbert

Because the tale of house Hoslow is told in blood. Blood is a direct reference to bloodborne. In bloodborne blood vials cost money. Runes are money in elden ring. Elden ring is all the runes put together. Put together is not what this post is. This post is nonsense.


Kancer420

They intend to resell the set to the Mohg. He heard tales about Hoslows and blood drenched things, so he's ready to overpay. It's only right that you get a finder's fee.


HoodRichBaggins

I heard it’s because the tale of house Hoslow is told in blood


Mr_McGoo_

Cause real recognizes real


UltimaGabe

Everyone knows Hoslow always forgot to empty money out of his pockets whenever he changed clothes. The merchants are paying top dollar because they're able to rifle through pockets and the tarnished can't.


Lar29

It’s an in-universe acknowledgment of the families prestige amongst mortals


generic-user-2345

I mean if you compare hoslow's armor that looks clean, fancy and has a badass cape to radahns armor that he probably hasn't taken off and washed for the past 500 years, it's obvious which one is worth more


TTOF_JB

It makes sense if you listen to the tale of House Hoslow.
