In this episode of Fear the Old Lore, we'll take a look at Fia and the Deathbed Companions comparing the English and Japanese text for a better understanding of the lore.

When I first met Fia, and she offered to hold the Tarnished, I kind of just figured she was going to be similar to Arianna from Bloodborne and that she was going to have a passive role throughout the game. However, as they say, never judge a book by its cover, and looks can be deceiving. Fia plays a much more active part in her quest, even going so far as to killing the older D brother, Darian, to accomplish her mission.

While Deathbed Companions are kind of portrayed like ladies of the night, there's actually a surprising amount of depth to their lore, and the more I learned about them, the more I began to appreciate their role in the game, though I must admit, I was not a fan initially.

While we still don't know how exactly the Age of the Duskborn ending differs from the other endings in Elden Ring, hopefully this video will shed some more light on Fia and the Deathbed Companions. And if your take on Fia or the Deathbed Companions differs from mine, let me know in the comments below.
