Apparently, the true Way to win Dark Souls games is never to play them...

I am ready to die on this hill...I reallly gotta say that Gael is not a good boss on a gameplay standpoint.

What’s with that one blue knight outside the dancers boss room?

Is ludwig like artorios in dark souls?

Slave Knight Gale was there to tell the flame to light it up, when he got bored of only seeing Fog, ancient trees and eternal Dragons

You snuck in Revenge of the Sith soundtrack here. I absolutely love it so much!

I'm here a bit late, but I find it funny that you've got a dog barking in the background of your video while talking about Ariana, like its warding her off. "Back, foul temptress, tempt not thine blood upon mine master!"

I posit the reason there are no Cainhurst corpses is because the church used them for experimention

20:00 Time, from Hans Zimmer

Using "The nature of dying" as background music is such a great choice

Where in the cainhurst lore does the string of piss at the foot of logarius’s throne fit

Thanks

Hahahaha and we got something even better noob

God is not a man. Something about paganism, and therefore series and games influenced by it or that drive inspiration from it, is that you got "gods" who are sometimes just strong humanlike beings... some are weaker than "mortals" and they also die, which is funny considering they were supposed to be immortals... It's like it doesn't make sense to have many gods who are themselves created. And the "void" or the darkness atheists imagine as their version of the eternal originating force, also doesn't make sense since it's by definition... nothing. Nothing can't do something, what even is nothingness? What is randomness, every simulation that has "random" to it literally fakes randomness based on variables, like the time of the day and other elements... So the concept of randomness isn't scientifically proven, nor logically so. Randomness is de facto what we don't understand, being real. People used to look at nature as random, and when they figured out the patterns they they saw they were wrong... And nothingness can't be proven either scientifically... it's an assumption. Something about dark souls isn't clicking, of course it's fictional, but it does illustrate some beliefs many uphold... nihilism that is. Also the undead are supposed to be people of hell, and they are not immortal on their own at all... God could will to cease their life... That is why the idea of some skeleton moving without having muscles makes no sense, as anyone can know. And i know i say obvious things, well that's the point of this. Peace

Holy sht this video is amazing

ok light and dark will sahdo can be seeing as the melid ground wer both light and dark meet up both it keeps the banatsis fo both light and dark juts as fier can make light or haet tho wen haet is not ther its cold so haet is the melid ground bewent hot and cold wer sahdo is the meildground bbewent light and dark day and night then if we go in to life and deteh the melid ground is that fo being undaed or alive wer the case fo the dark mark keeps banatsis bewent life and deteh so wen one usis a humenitey or 2 one can be retrund to the undaed sate or humen form thos being undaed or alive this has ben omage apalth fo the way fo wite hav a nices day

0:15 Gael wasn’t part of the very first men, or Pygmys, he was a human descendant, and a product of probably a thousand years after. Still he was a slave for possibly hundreds, if not a thousand years as a slave knight

Miyazaki’s vision of Guts from Berserk

the transition at 3:03 is just 🤌

Song in the background?

Guess who just got back today, them wild eyed boys that’d been away

Shield of want belongs to King Vendrick 🤦🤦🤦

Christ bless you, miss you man

i think Gael was counting on us to kill him in the end. His blood was needed to get the dark soul up to snuff.

ludwig is just nic cage guys.

This is such a cool and mostly overlooked part of dark souls lore.

That Laurence model does not match his voice lol

Hbomberguy has proven to be an even greater retard than we knew back then. You were right to call him an idiot.

the inhabitants of the cathedral ward are not sarcastic, they are drunk off that blood, the first guy even hiccupped. its giving crack head admiration of someone giving them a dollar they begged for knowing they about to get high, like very thankful in a way thats off putting ,mostly cause they are already high.

What music plays at 20:07 please? I’ve definitely heard it somewhere before

The drake sword is anew player trap tho

I took "two-handed" as to mean two hands on one sword. As opposed to "dual" to mean a weapon in each.

Does this still work 6 years later? Planning on playing soon

I think the conversation about the utility of healing is largely pointless because whats more impactful on your experience isnt the amount of mistakes afforded to you by the amount of healing items you carry but rather your inherent skill in the game, thats not to say that estus and life gems dont have an impact but rather that that impact is either lessend or exaggerated depending on the skill of the player at hand

Laurence was LITERALLY in the fire of hell. fromsoft is very unsubtle

Ornstein gains 20 badassery points if you pronounce his name right.

aww shit I totally killed that blue guy at the start of ariandel

The humanities/dark soul seem a lot like the old concept of pneuma - or an airborne substance of soul blanketing the world that we humans must continually inhale to share in this big collective soul we can never possess

I came here to learn about the crosses in the swamp. Does anyone know why they take that shape?

The fact you said "self actualization" makes me think of philosophical and spiritual journeys of the self and how suffering is always mentioned when talking about pyromancy, makes me think pyro would be strength of character?/ a type of charisma or will not necessarily or limited to extraversion. Either introverts who have gained internal strength or extroverts who learn how to always be humble could learn the pyromancy and its been honed by suffering which makes sense. Not talking initiative for the introverts and for extroverts regret i suppose. As not fearing the flame but being strong with the flame would mean having a big ego, being very powerful but then quickly burning up and destroying yourself. But you cant let the fire die out either like a candle in a snow storm. Its very interesting. In ds1 you didnt even need stat requirements essentially just souls (experience) but good experience from souls youve kept not ypur soul memory. As in making mistakes and mastering them or not making mistakes but not being inactive, taking on a challenge and coming out. Vs soul memory experience would be the equivalent of a boomer who has "been doing this for 40 years" but has nothing to show for it and still has poor technique. Which i think is interesting. Especially since describing what gives life "life" its described as that "spark". Which in relationships is used for the word "passion" "attraction" "love" etc but also seen as the "on" switch essence of breath. The will to live. Having "fight". Where blood and bloodborne symbolism would be having blood, which is another association with life like you are literally a vessel full of red liquid and red cheeks and lips are seen as healthy like snow white. And if you run out or spill too much youre literally dead. But if you have a brain (magic, intelligence, blue, cold, frozen, fixed, math) and you have a heart (body, blood, red, liquid, hp) and faith (wisdom? Belief, sky, yellow, electric, energy, ancient truth, ignorant of sciences, bigger picture) you can still not have the "will" to operate these things (fire, orange, red, dark? Warm, aethery-matter like, air, breath). It becomes more interesting and lines up more with the fact that i believe the blood in flammable in ds3? So theres 4 or 5 different cross duality sections. Light, dark, heat, cold - blood/matter. Or faith, pyro, magic - dark/faith/int (dark hits with physical) dark is definitely lore wise and in reality the most human element as it really is a mixture of all these things. In ds2 you have to have faith and intelligence to use dark hexes which as i suspected actually came from miracles. A dark miracle. And isnt visually like magic or miracle but is most like black flame. Many things in dark souls has also been described as "warm, dark, soft". The human is like the ultimate paradox to the nth degree. We are tied to the flame, belief, come from the dark are thinking and not an insect yet are somewhat parasitical (choas bug reference and likeness as well) but can also do good for our environment despite being parasitic if we choose. We need light to see, but not necessarily feel, which means we need flame, which destroys our flammable bodies, turning us to ash. The only way to do this is to have intelligence which is scorned by faith and to have ego/fire/will which is scorned by faith and intelligence and if you have too much or too little of literally any one of these things you will be destroyed quickly, or slowly a gradually. But were going to all die anyway. It is, without doubt 100% insanity inducing. You really need to try and capture the whole idea without words in your mind. Then i guess you would get the human, or dark souls. Which is actually very meta of the human experience on earth being a game created by humans giving critique? Of our own nature, trying to understand it, but in essence dividing it up and greying all the edges at the same time.

I always thought they were just Golems like the Ruin Sentinels, in honor of the actual silver knights, similar to how the sentinels were made to honor the group that was sent to the ruined city, Idk dark souls 2 and dark souls 3 lore

So they even stayed in Anor Londo despite Pontiff Sulyvahn making his way into the Cathedral just to trap Aldrich in the Cathedral with Gwyndolin

6:32 Aint non of you gonna talk about that statue huh?

Cleric muto lore

The spin of Treason.

Hiv*mind

Knight Oscar is my favorite NPC in all of souls lore not including Demon's Souls but seeing him in the cut scene walking away in what I think is the best looking armor again in all of souls lore made me make him. Lol I have had Oscar's set the entire time I've played the game. Beaten it with the same set dozens of times. Love the video and Lore of Astora. Thanks so much. Hope you do more. What I want to know is who wielded the Dragon's Crest shield? Another Knight of Astora we didn't know about?

it doesnt work, the downl, the program

2:16 ok, few things: first off, the Royal we is used more in office, not personally, so her using the we makes sense. And secondly, a lot of people refer to your scent, not just Arianna and Annalise. The imposter doctor does (“ah, moonlit scents”), the young girl does (“I don’t know your voice, but I know that smell. Are you a hunter?”), and the Oedon chapel dweller does (“oh, you must be a hunter. The incense must’ve masked your scent”. And remember, this dude’s blind, so he recognizes that your hunter by scent, not by sight). That’s not to disparage your whole series or opinion, I just think these points are kind of weak, compared to Arianna’s dress, for example.

One thing though: don’t you find the bloodletting beast with its head? Why would the waking world Lawrence have a bloodletting beast form with a head, when his head is supposed to be kept as a holy artifact?
