    Rykard is neat. It's cool that he used his affinity for sorcery to study ancient magma "hexes" and resurrect them as int/fth spells. I just wish they were more powerful in the game, for something that requires strange stat investment.

    It's weird how little we know about this snake god. It's something almost like a force of nature, but when that power is actually guided and focused by a devoured demigod, it becomes something that legitimately threatens the erdtree and everything else.

    One more thing, it's funny that low-res versions of rykard and radahn's concept art leaked like 2 years before the game came out. The designs seemed so outlandish that I didn't believe either one was legit for a long time

          Same reason Ranni is a doll, to escape the influence of the greater will you need to discard your demigod body. Ranni did it by some sort of rune of death shenanigans to put her soul in a doll, Rykard found an ancient snake deity thing to feed himself to and become one with.

            Honestly, there's nothing much to tell apart from Rykard being Rennala and Radagon's son, and that he, just like Ranni hates the Golden Order/Erdtree/Greater Will and wanted them destroyed. He let the God-Devouring Serpent eat him because he wanted immortality and thought it would give him enough power to defeat the Golden Order(it didn't obviously).

            ill ask again why he suddendly hated the greater will
            I'm fine if the answer is just "no particular, one day he just fricking did or realized that the greater will sucks dick"

          The serpent was supposed to only be vulnerable to a single weapon but From decided to make Rykard vulnerable to all damage so none of it makes sense and trying to explain it is pointless. Obviously From intended you to ONLY kill Rykard with the Serpent-Hunter but for some reason they allowed you to kill him with literally anything, removing the entire purpose for Rykard feeding himself to the big snake.

          Logically if Rykard could only be killed by a single rare weapon and his followers controlled that weapon (one of his former followers gives it to you, after all), it would make a lot of sense for Rykard to do what he did, but From's decision to make him vulnerable to all damage ruined the reasoning behind it. So basically Rykard the moron did it for seemingly no reason because he was already powerful and the snake offered him nothing in return.

                The problem is Rykard has no reason to feed himself to the snake if he doesn't become immortal as a result. From could have easily made him invulnerable to all non-Serpent-Hunter damage but they didn't, they even gave him a particular weakness to frostbite, so this "immortal serpent" is not immortal and actually weak to the cold, it is moronic and ruins the logic behind Rykard doing what he did, so now Rykard is either just a moron or the snake lied to him and was just a normal serpent and not "the immortal serpent" from the item description.

                The lore is moronic itself and all over the place because GRRM was involved so it isn't as farfetched that Rykard in fact was delusional and mad. Most of his own followers abandoned him when he told his snake plans to them, so clearly what he did was interpreted as insane even by them.

                Technically Rykard doesn't even die since what's left of his body still moves when you return to his arena, so he is actually immortal but in the shittiest sense. You can also see him looking clearly unhinged in at least one of his portraits. More importantly though, it's an issue of gameplay over story. If he could only be hurt with the spear people would've been annoyed that their builds don't matter or that they have to fight him the same way every playthrough.

                Every living creature in the Lands Between is immortal in the shittiest sense because Marika plucked the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring and gave it to Maliketh to hide it away.

                Rykard was looking for an "alternative immortality" that did not depend upon the Erdtree? That would make a lot of sense actually, he was hoping the serpent would be the Erdtree replacement; devouring everything into itself and keeping it alive forever.

                You shouldn't take everything you read at face value. There is obviously some mysticism surrounding the serpents stated immortality, that doesn't mean it is invulnerable. The fact that you can hurt the snek with other weapons is not an oversight or a plothole, it is proof that its immortality has limits or at worst, is just a stupid legend because it is so resilient.

        More like you shouldn't allow sellen to do whatever the frick she wants because she's a moronic, power hungry mass murderer.

    Almost done doing a run with Morgott's sword and it's really shit. I hate curved greatswords, too weak to have the oomph of UGS or colossal weapons, too slow to apply bleed properly like a katana. You can't even put grease on it and the weapon art is decent but niche.
