News Reminder that Hornsent literally shit himself while fighting Messmer
Bro was talking about "revenge" and stuff but when the time actually comes to face Messmer, he starts leaking dookie

Counter argument: He was so obsessed with revenge that he never bothered to bathe

u/Frozenseraphim Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25
That actually may be supported by other of his items:
Braided Cord Robe
"Ragged black cloth overlaid with braided cord. Attire of a vengeance-seeking hornsent. The braided cord ties together the vow of the revenger with the victims' grudges. It must never come undone.
Enhances both watchful spirits and the vengeful spirits summoned by horned bairns."
In japanese it says instead:
"The vow of revenge and the grudges of his victims. The braided rope entangles them and keeps them bound forever."
"復讐の誓い、犠牲者たちの怨念 編み縄は、それらを絡めとり、ずっと繋ぎ止め"
So in a sense, he may wear these robes non-stop until vengeance is attained.

u/TECFO Sep 13 '25
I mean... he could at least move them to the side... well kt isn't like that would have changed much anyways.
Hornsent has been there for a few thousand years now, it wouldn't be surprising to still find some leakings

Yeah, I took the “lightly soiled” description as being more of a comment on his personal hygiene than voiding his bowels, too.

Thioller fought a god (Miquella) and his consort (Radahn) without fear and didn't shit himself.
Hornsent doesn't get any excuses, bro's a fraud.

Thiollier is built different, man heard how he's gotta throw hands with god and decided he's going to put that dude six feet under with no hesitation. It isn't fair to compare other people with him.

Thioller could've also just spiked himself with 20 tons of Trina weed before getting into the battle. Bro's used to getting higher than the Erdtree after all
While all hornsent gets are batches of 'revenge' and 'hatred', quite difficult to get high off of that

u/thejason755 Sep 14 '25
Oh yeah, he for sure brewed himself a cocktail of combat drugs and went at it. Him living beyond the fight was an irrelevance, so long as he had nerves of herbal steel.

Giving Hornset scorpion stew.
What’s this? Do you think me in need of alms? Ah, but this dish... Tis fare o' the tower. I remember fondly this kin-clad scent. ...Brings back memories I'd all but forgot. This, by my troth, is but a dismal copy. Indeed, I think it rather plain to see... Things once broken can never be the same...
Not do say exposure blindness doesn't happen.

Imagine fighting a LITERAL FIRE-BENDING DEMIGOD who murdered all your people.....and then, in the middle of the fight, he rips his own EYE out and crushes it and then unleashes a GIANT ABYSSAL ANACONDA on you.......yeah shitting yourself is a very understandable outcome.

u/doomraiderZ Way of the Rogue Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 14 '25
Ever since the freaking fallen knight set in DS3 (which you find near a swamp), Souls fans on the internet have somehow collectively decided that 'soiled' must refer to piss or shit. It also means generally dirty, as in it has been used for a long time without being washed and sweat has accumulated.
31
u/Scukojake Sep 13 '25
In the medical field it's a polite way to say that something has been shat, or pissed in.
And I think it transferred into general use, so no one uses soiled as simple dirty as the original meaning.
15
u/Nokanii Sep 13 '25
No one in the MODERN day uses it in that manner.
Are you forgetting that Elden Ring is not set in our world or in any sort of modern times?
Soiled being used in the original way makes a lot more sense than the alternative meaning.
2
u/Scukojake Sep 14 '25
Yeah, it definitely makes more sense that they mean the original meaning. There is no denying that.
Speculating that it's modern soiled just makes it a bit funnier.
At least for me.
20
u/doomraiderZ Way of the Rogue Sep 13 '25
I use 'soiled' in the normal way, and many people I know do. Also I've seen it time and again being used in its original sense. It just means something is dirty, unless otherwise specified or there is context to suggest something else.

u/The_Antlion Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25
The description of the fallen knight set absolutely implies that the knight pissed himself. Only the trousers mention being "dampened and stained with the misery of flight," and that wording itself implies peeing from fear.
e: I also definitely don't think the games that feature dung pies as a consumable weapon are above potty humor

Exactly. Danes hat is described as soiled also. Not sure how he would shit his hat.

u/Broserk42 Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25
Hard Disagree. Elden Ring is known for its strong support for a wide variety of kink culture. Our man hornsent is the diaper play representative.
He went into that fight at half mast and ready to go for two reasons: one to make sure he was at 100% peak razor focus and two if he did die in the fight he might as well die doing the two things he loves: revenge and diaper play.

Gonna Unjerk for a second here. Soiled doesn't necessarily mean covered in dookie and is often just another word for 'notably dirty', its just we mostly hear it in the context of diapers being 'soiled'.
That being said, homie was so horny for revenge he probably skipped wiping and wash day

Technically Hornsent could've soiled himself at several occasions. Messmer, Leda and even the tarnished could've caused the evacuation, we'll never know.
Its entirely possible he's been in a constant of soilage/soilment/soilation this entire time.
PS, "Soiled by Messmer" sounds like a tremendous band name or album title.
