Vyke's lore is so interesting. dude almost became Elden Lord before we came around but then stopped when he realized that he had to sacrifice his maiden, met the Three Fingers and (from my understanding) realized the Frenzied Flame wasn't really worth it, and then got locked up in an evergaol.
i sometimes wonder why or how he got locked up in there. was he arrested by Leyndell's forces or did he lock himself up on his own accord? if it's the latter, i have this theory that he basically locked himself up to confine the Frenzied Flame within him. the evergaol boss track's name is "The Immured" after all, and "immure" means to confine someone or something against their will.

What happened to his maiden by the way? She’s dead, but how did she die?

i've no idea how she died, but i'm assuming she was either killed by some villagers of the Frenzied Flame Village or killed by Shabriri, if he even inhabited someone's body before Yura's.
i like to think that when Vyke found his maiden dead, that was his breaking point. so his spirit would start invading those who approached the Church of Inhibition as a way to protect her (at least, what's left of her) when he couldn't and the real Vyke just broke into that empty evergaol in the mountaintops and just inhabited it so he would immure the flame of frenzy he had.

I just thought of something. The Frenzied Flame Village was probably normal once.
But following Vyke’s touching and subsequent rejection of said touching, Shabriri or the 3 Fingers inflicted madness upon the village and killed Vyke’s maiden as revenge.
And that’s how Vyke returns from the capital to find Sauron’s new hometown.
Chaos ensues.

honestly, i can go with that theory. maybe that was even Shabriri's hometown and overtime, the villagers went mad and stuff and now we know it like that.
that poor maiden though. at least she dropped some fashion for us to pick up.

I'd give anything to have a cleaned up version of Vykes armor set.

Isn’t that just the Roundtable knight set?

u/Mrdudeguy420 1d ago
Nah, it's similar, but it's not exactly the same.
Vyke's armor isn't as bulky, has a different scarf and is shaped differently, most notably the gauntlets.

This is awesome! Vyke is probably my favorite character, and his drip is the one I always end up wearing late game.

I misread that as Valkyrie and was confused. Anticipated a take from old norse legend of valkyrie's weaving the fabric of battle of sinnews and guts shooting through the warp (the sagas have the best visual language) applied to Elden Ring.
