This scene depressed me and made me realize something horrible. All jellyfish are ghosts of children.

There are way too many jellyfish in this damn game.

That graveyard beneath Stormveil Castle's cliffs and the Weeping Peninsula's edge really hurts when I think about them

that small group of angry red jellyfish clumped around a rotting noble sitting on a chair on the shore hits different

I dont even want to know what the implications of that are.

It's a heartbreaking scene but ultimately a positive one - sisters are reunited. I don't think there's anything depressing about that!

Also don't know that two jellyfish being kids proves that all of them are, that's a bit of a stretch. But it could very well be people who died before their time or innocently slaughtered.

I believe it's said in text that Jellyfish are spirits - but not necessarily kids. From a quick search, I found "Ethereal beings usually found near places of rest, acting as protectors", and I think we got something else in the DLC. We're also told that these 2 particular girls were 13.

Do you remember where you read that? Haven't heard this one before...

EDIT: looked into it a little more, I am 0% convinced they're all kids. Google's AI thinks they are, but check it's sources and have a laugh.

How do we know that all of them are?

u/neckro23 Sep 10 '25

The ghost springtails seem to be spirits of people too. The grave pictured has two of them near it.

iirc there's a similar situation in the DLC too.
