The Story of Vargram, the Raging Wolf | Elden Ring Lore

It's baffling how Vargram and Vyke barely exist in game.

Bro the ragdoll intro caught me way off guard, love it

Considering how Vargram is used in marketing as an analogy for the player, he seemingly failed in his aspirations of becoming a shadowbound beast, and we're the ones to kill him - it seems fitting with fromsoft's style of storytelling for their to be an irony there, perhaps in us getting closer to his aspiration than he ever did? What I'm saying is, it's possibly another good thread of evidence towards Melina being the Gloam-Eyed Queen.

Not to mention, I think Vargram is a pretty good candidate for the character of "Torrent's former master," which would indicate that he likely met Melina in the past.

2:45 In Japanese, this word literally means "honorary brother", so I'd say "step brother" is a more accurate translation as there is no implication of blood relation.

Your videos are criminally underviewed for how well-edited, informative, and comedic they are. Awesome work!

The second i seen the the, “yall see the shoes, yall see the money” meme with his boots had to like and sub😂😂😂 hilarious bro

Yeah…. Characters like Godfrey, Vyke, and Vargram were used for promotional material for Elden Ring, and have rather reduced roles as of the present day and MC. I know the game wouldn’t work with a singular narrative, but I would like some type of… idk, a more personal story, focused on characters and their places in the world. The closest thing I can compare this idea too would be what FromSoftware did with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

If not that, than a book of short stories. Detailing the journey of each Tarnished throughout the decades (Vyke, Wilhelm, Gideon, Berhnal, etc) and their eventual deaths by a Tarnished of no renown armored in the way of a Bloody Wolf…

Vargram was looking for the gloam eyed queen, yet she was already dead. He was looking for Melina but he came to early and she found us instead

The fucking editing in this is sooo clean and top notch.

Dude the editing is peak

I love this so much! Vargram is actually one of if not my favorite character in all of Elden Ring

This is why I’m convinced that Melina is the Gloam Eyed queen. She really fits to be an Empyrean. She’s aswell associated with destined death as she suggest burning the Erdtree. Perhaps a secret daughter of Marika that was remove from the history just like Nameless King in dark souls 3 and might as well the reason why we can summon her against Morgott. And using us an errand boy to destroy Golden Order that her mother established. Plus the fact that she uses black knives moveset with gold variety, suggesting that her destined death power was indeed sealed by Maliketh, that forced her to perform erdtree incantations instead of black flame incantations.

I really wish we could meet vargram as an actual character, that would not only be very interesting but it would also add depth to the recusant questline, imagine hunting down someone you know and may have even become comerades with

6:32 bro that had my ribs hurting 😂😂😂

the dead empyreans in the wandering mausoleum could also be an option for who Vargram wanted to serve. Wish we knew more about them as they were said to be children of Marika aswell.

Love the editing! Great work as usual.

Idk why nobody has any video on youtube regarding this guy in particular. Tbvh this guy is who I tried to search up the very first time I got into Elden Ring. I think his drip is possibly the most epic drip in ER for me

Thank you for making a video on him and his story!

From Soft is always doing the Laura Palmer principle with its characters. Red Knight from dark souls 3's cover comes to mind.
Another good example would be Allfather Lloyd, who is the head of the most prominent religion in Dark Souls, but never actually appears, and you mostly learn the story of his rule after the fact, after the reveal that the Way of White then went to Gwyndolin and his Darkmoon Blades, and then finally Sulyvahn, who became a darkmoon blade as a means of infiltration.
It's all there, like how Vyke's entire arc has already ended. The only trace of his will that remains is with his lover, Lansseax. The Three fingers burned the rest of him away

I love his armour set, and had been exploring the game for like 100 hours until I had to ask a friend where to find his set. Was told I had to kill him and I was like :((

I had to pause at 3:13 to laugh and smash that like btn
