YouTuber SmoughTown, who specializes in analyzing the plot of Soulslike games, has released an epic trilogy of videos totaling over 35 hours, entirely dedicated to analyzing the story of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring.
In epic videos, the author painstakingly talks about literally everything – from the biographies of key characters like Malenia to the global secrets of the game universe. Even for such a large-scale Elden Ring with its fragmented world, explaining absolutely the entire mythology and backstory is not an easy task.

As noted in the comments, the release of such a 35-hour study is a real academic achievement that requires enormous effort in collecting and structuring information. Here it is, an analysis of “modern mythology”, and it is clearly not inferior to the analysis of some ancient Greek works.
Fans are delighted with the videos, although there are some jokes:
I love these short videos, I’m waiting for you to start releasing longer formats.
One way or another, connoisseurs of the FromSoftware universe have something to see, and 35 hours will last a long time. The main thing for the blogger now is not to go crazy from an overdose of lore after such a large-scale immersion in the world of Elden Ring.
