Dark Souls III: 183 Discoveries
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2020
- The Dark Souls franchise is something special. Dark Souls III is teeming with details and I hope I've shown you at least a few things that you didn't know before - even you veterans out there! As usual, the idea is to break the footage down into small chunks that are roughly chronological, so that by the end it's like a complete playthrough rather than a patchwork of unconnected facts.
All of the music is from the game itself and I got all of the footage from the PS4 version (except where footage credits have been given). As for the discoveries, I've tried my best to give credit where I can, and ultimately this video would have been impossible without such a great community behind it. Thank you for watching and for being a part of that community!
"Only 183 this time?"
Many of the discoveries from the DS1 video carry over to DS3, but I've not included many of those because I expect viewer overlap. I was also a bit harsher with my quality threshold this time around.
Sadly, I don't expect I'll have time to work on another video of this scale for the foreseeable future. One day, however, tiny flames may again dance across the darkness. That said, if you'd like to go further than necessary and send me some money, you can do that here: www.buymeacoffee.com/lakeofmud
Don't feel compelled to; my content will always be free and a kind comment is just as good! - เกม
The discovery at 10:38 about the Bloodbite Ring appears to be wrong. Until I can test it properly, please just ignore it!
The crystal sage can be grabbed with the "sacred flame" pyromancy. Some larger enemies can as well, like winged knights.
39:20 ther is two tree woman who are weaping, the one you find, the second is in the first area when you get "up" after the first "avalanche", she is a tree who release ice (there a two in this palce a 1 cry)
41:09 when you meet friede and returnto yuria, yuria have a special dialogue about her sister, before you kill friede!!! after killing her yuria give you the dialogue you show on your video
46:45 the one that you hear is not the one you show us!!!
I know of a secret place you don't ;)

DS3: The final boss can parry you
looks like gwyn's been taking notes
Gwyn cannot parry you, but the souls of the following lords of cinder can
SoC pretty much is Gwyn tho
@@Morduk385 the first form is us from ds1 and ds2 the second form is Gwyn.

"I have no such weakness."
The way I beat him (barely) is by rolling R1 his attacks until half way. Then when he has the ghost, he mirrors the ghost's attack, so you wait for ghost to make a stupid move and that's your chance to strike.

"Tsorig doesn't understand tears of denial". He also doesn't understand lava. Perhaps Tsorig is a bit "slow".
Hey Steffen u got a cool name there man.
Tsorig can be made to kill himself
giving the dark blade a dark infusion will change it's name to "reinforced dark blade" instead of dark dark blade.
True.
The same thing can be done to the drake blood sword if infused with lightning.
And with buff glitch
Put "Dark blade" on it to uprgrade into dark dark dark sword
Wait I thought dark blade was a buff, do you mean dark sword?
Ryley Storm I believe the original commenter meant the Dark Sword, especially since I got really disappointed finding this out myself about a year ago

Its Lothric, that would not make any sense canon-wise; He is even wearing the same robes as Lothric, just that its holding the pontiff's sword, maybe an early developement desition that was not corrected.
@@schmebulockjizz likely, as Pontiff was originally the final boss "Black King" or some shit
@@LSB44446 "Old King of the Eclipse". But yes, he was supposed to be the final boss.
@@schmebulockjizz Sulyvahn is theorised by many to be the First Scholar, the one who convinced Lothric to give up his duty to link the Fire. If you look at the Scholars, they also wear robes.
@@LSB44446 Soo according to the old canon thats Pontiff, but now canon-wise, you could say thats actually Lothric... Holding pontiff's sword.

No bro, thank you for making this video

no bro thank you for leaving a comment
Another detail that I just noticed: Lightning has always been sunlight-yellow throughout the series, in a representation of Gwyn's power. However, the lightning in Gael's final phase is an electric blue. So much time has passed, Gwyn's warmth is now completely gone.
plus i don't think his lightning has anything to do with faith aswell
No, its the difference between miracle lighting and literal, natural ones. Gael is literally _controlling weather itself_
@@alzhanvoidsansado Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gael and Gwyn's followers are the only people we've seen manipulate lightning. Maybe Gwyn literally held power over all the world's lightning, but more likely it's just symbolism.
@@nalsium2828 Nothing is confirmed obviously, but Im personally willing to stick by my theory that Gael, as the last and most powerful being left on the planet, has taken control of primal lighting itself during the thousands of years pillaging and eating dark soul. Gwyn's lighting in comparison is simply an imitation of real lighting, created by miracle magic.
@@alzhanvoidsansado I definitely agree that Gael has taken control of the weather, I just think it's interesting how it contrasts with Gwyn's power.
Another detail, the lightning is marked by spots of darkness on the ground. I don't know enough about lightning to draw any sort of meaning from it, but it's probably important and definitely interesting

"Cemetery of Ash and Untended Graves overlap"
Me: Everyone knows that.
*footage of collecting the bloodstain from Graves in Cemetery*
Me: WHAT
Me: thought every living person on this earth knew that
If you do the tree skip in Untended Graves, you can actually get the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring if you haven't picked it up in Firelink Shrine. You can also go to the area with the Crystal Lizard, though there's nothing there as far as I know.
if you noclip/glitch in the cemetery of ash, you can make your way back through the garden and past Oceiros
Me trying to figure out who died to index gundyr and who died to champion gundyr
Doesn't this prove that when you go to the Untended Graves you're going to the past, rather than the future?

Not only do the Cemetery of Ash and Untended Graves overlap, they are LITERALLY the same area, coordinate for coordinate. If you were to turn around at the start of Cemetery of Ash and jump up to the entrance (using hacks of course), you'd end up behind Oceiros. If you went back into the cemetery, it'll be Untended Graves. Going through the illusory wall into the area is what triggers the change from Cemetery to Graves. This is why Cemetery of Ash isn't connected to any other areas.
Could you kill oceiros before gundyr?
@@laundrybasketgamers assuming you could somehow get back up there, yes! Because illusory walls are two-way, you can enter Oceiros's boss room from behind
@@romilrh lmao that would be the best, might try to find some way to do that if I get a better pc
@@laundrybasketgamers DS3 reverse boss order when??
@@romilrh it’s probably possible. I wonder what happens if you go to the dancer from the top? Like trigger the fight, homeward bone out, go back around to Oceiros, and go to plunge attack the dancer or something. Another thing I wonder is if you go back through the oceiros entry, and go back to the cemetery of ash, will it be the untended graves or the starting area?
8:42 that transition was great
Perfectly cut triggered moments
I laughed .
I was looking for this commment!

"Midirs arena is seen in the DS1 opening cutscene"

This is super epic and is giving me chills.
@@666ROZSPIEWANY Agreed. Really good way to bring the series full circle.

That means. The pygmy
What are the odds of this being a coincidence about caves? Itll be fucking cool if its actually true which isnt that unlikely. Because birth of pygmy
4:00 Mimic: It must've been the wind
The Dark Souls Series as a whole is truly a Masterpiece in Videogame History.
You can tell be the MASSIVE amount of details you will probably never even recognize until you spent thousands of hours exploring and trying things out.
From Software is truly unique in the industry.
They put so much love in their games its so incredible to see.
Not just love, but glitches and exploits on top of that. (Sarcasm)
People say that, but I just can't get on with them. I've started the first one probably half a dozen times, play for a couple of hours and realize I'm not having fun, so I stop. And no, the difficulty is not the problem
@@rubykelly2305 Perhaps it's just not for you, just because the game isn't for you doesn't mean they didn't put a lot of effort into creating it.
@@rubykelly2305 the first one is kinda shitty, the combat is way too sluggish in the beginning, and most of the difficulty is because if you've never played it before you are going to fall for most of its traps and/or not know how to deal with the bosses/enemies... DS1 does not give you a fair fight most of the time. Even though I, like you, did not enjoy DS1, I am enjoying my time with DS3.
@@lTheFockerl it’s not supposed to be fair
I misread "the crystal sage has a grab". Ended up looking for a Crab that wasnt there.

Dragonslayer: Does same attack
*Parries it*
Me: '-'
Lol I was like “ok so it’s not that attack, I wonder which-”
43:45 wow that was perfectly timed.
Having the fire keeper react to your gestures is so cute and wholesome, you could just sit there before going to a boss fight and be like "this is my refueling before the boss"
There’s someone else in a soulsborne game that can do that.

« The demon prince arena is fire link shrine »
Me : The demon prince arena IS WHAT ?
Its been a few months, but the tunnel your character enters is actually where Frampt appears from!
@@connorsmith4319 yep i was gunna comment that but you did it first
That one blew my mind..
@@dynad00d15 i knew that but still weird
I thought fire link shrine was the same place in ds1 and 3 :o
2:13 The firelink bonfire actually gets brighter the more undead bone shards you burn. The regular bonfires don't.
Yea
45:45 The irony of this moment syncronized with the music made me laugh hard
I had a lot of fun editing bits like that!
It's a really great moment, there's certainly zero 'irony' to it though.
@@cunkmeaty6242 I was mistaken sorry, yesterday I thought this time stamp was of the plunging attack with the music, which is why I said it's a great moment but not ironic. No harm intended, my computer can screw up clicking timestamps, which is what I did with everyone's yesterday, that or I fooled myself, either way I apologise to you and mainly the OP
@@cunkmeaty6242 Same to you buddy!
Lake of Mud it has the same energy as Anri looking for Horace when all he/she has to do is look right.
"Bosses can run out of stamina" but not Ponfinite Staminavahn.
That one came from sekiro 😂
@@hussainalkhatem299 srsly did. He is easy to parry too (deflect)
Pontinfinite Stamyvahn
Pontiff Stalin
Might be because he used the whip to drain their stamina rather than letting it run out with the bosses’ attacks
Either that or pontiff is just a god among men
Gael's weapon is very similar to the very first weapon you get in dark souls 1.. a broken straight sword
I love the fact that you can hear abyss watchers fighting, but as soon as player enters, they are like “shit, that’s him again, pretend to be dead everyone”
43:47 when the music synced up to the plunge attack i got chills
I enjoyed editing that bit!
It’s Lapp’s theme, not the Demon Prince
@@temporaryhalfdecentname8452 It's Gael's theme.

About the Oscar like corpse:
In Dark Souls 1, Oscar had an entire cut storyline where he was supposed to do the opposite of what you did. If you linked the fire, he'd call you a pawn of the gods. If you became the dark lord, he'd call you kaathe's servant. The untended graves with his corpse missing and the cemetery of ash with his corpse present is a subtle nod to the cut storyline.
My brain = reduced to atoms
Love that fact man
Can you explain a bit more how is it a nod
PogD7 i guess its because in the cemetery of ash, when you (kinda) get resurrected, that oscar lookalike is dead. and in the untended graves, when you arrive that oscar lookalike is long gone (or yet to arive) its just a guess so dont take it seriously lol
I thought that was in the game
It's too bad they cut that. That's a badass little piece of side story that just wasn't put in the game for whatever reason.
aww when you put thank you for watching and it said “credit: you”
that was adorable
I just noticed this, but at 26:48 you can see Yhorm attempt to swat you away during his riposte animation before you hit him in the head a second time. I thought that was pretty cool attention to detail, as I feel like it shows that he is not as affected by your riposte compared to other enemies and bosses, since he is a giant and therefore probably stronger.
He’s like “bitch did you ju- AAAHHHH”
I like the idea of stars showing up at the last boss fight. Throughout the series it is really only emphasized that the sun and moon are the only heavenly bodies that matter to humanity's survival. Most times, when looking up form all points in the game, the anor londo, lothric castle, and even the sun is covering the sky, as if there is nothin else that matters. But here in the last twilight of the world, where the sun barely shines anymore, the stars appear, to come witness this last final battle between two nobodies, stuck at the end of of the world.
It also somewhat lines up with what the firekeeper says during the end of fire ending, "one day tiny flames will dance along the darkness". Every night location in dark souls I can remember didn't have visible stars, but here in the end of the world, at the first flame's weakest and as the sun's light wanes, you can see stars. What are the odds it's a glimpse of the coming age of dark?
Stop echoeing them as nobodies. The fanbase is wrong.
@@schmebulockjizz I don't see anything that makes Gael and the player character "somebodies"
@@Deadput Same, the Ashen One is meant to be interchangeable because time loops, regardless of your ending choice. Gael is a slave knight, which means he has no claim to anything like glory or possessions beyond what he carries with him.
@@schmebulockjizz literally one of the main points in the story of dark souls is that you play as a downtrodden nobody that is completely worthless. A "nameless, accursed undead". Were you even paying attention?

I don't know how well know this might be, but you can make Tsorig fight himself if you summon him in the demon ruins and I for one find it quite amusing.
Haha, yes, I just figured it out on a NG+. Never really used summons but I did this time, 'cause I wanted to save a little bit of time :D Tsorig (phantom) died at the curse-froggy-eye-creatures, but I got him again just to let him fight hisself. Really nice!

Ironic (or fitting?) it loses the ability to do so in its second phase
Yeah because the first form are the past players who link the fire meaning ds1 and ds2
He can only parry you in Pyro mode tho.
@@FullAdDariusBR not really it's when he is in scimitar mode it's just happened that he is pyro mode also maybe to use power within and parry to one shot you.
@@Markcus003 but when he uses scimitar is exactly when he uses pyros as well...
@@FullAdDariusBR yes you're right but the reason I said scimitar mode is because he use scimitar first then use power within not the other way around but then again who knows that's just my play through.
You can avoid a *lot* of attacks with the “stretch out” gesture.

7:15 are we just gonna ignore the symbol on the giants’ hand?
The irithyl hounds having human skulls probably means they were humans at some point. Sulyvon did cause people to turn into beasts
That is exactly the case. It's said that he not only used his "eye" rings to turn the outrider knights into beasts, but he experimented with similar magic on the denizens of the city he rules over by the time we get to him, some of them resulting in the three large beasts we end up dealing with (the one on the bridge, and the other two within the below-ground channel where they guard the bonfire and covenant before anor londo.
Yo, irithyll is like yharnam
@@hirokimura1316 Well the Deacon the two beasts protect in Anor Londo is the connection to Bloodborne, so this actually would make a lot of sense.
@@TheUmbralCorvid *Deepest lore*
And irthyll has the big church like the grand cathedral in yharnam so pontiff sulyvahn is basically the Laurence of ds3 since he was the cause of nearly everything.

"book can be parried"
i already knew this after the incident with jehovah witnesses
Very good.
I laughed way too hard at this.
That's it, it's over, he won comedy
Here's a few more little facts that I think are cool:
The SOC bonfire, the Firelink Bonfire, and the Coiled Sword use the same model sword
The Dancer and Vordt can be riposted after enough damage done to their heads
The area leading to the Dancer (where the lance knight and the sword knight patrol) the lighting is different there, making colors look less vibrant and more muted
Despite Storm Ruler working for Yhorm, it does not work for other giant-type enemies, only Yhorm
During the boss fight with Yhorm, you do not use FP while using Storm Ruler
The collar of Lapps helm disappears for other armor sets, making it so the head moves. This does not apply with no armor and the collar stays
The Arch-Tree that makes up the SOC arena is actually the same Tree that Gywn and the others crawled out of
Silver Knights leave corpses, Black Knights do not
Silver Knights mimic Ornstien by using his two handed heavy attack
Gael can be riposted, but only after a headshot from a throwing knife or arrow
The Giant Archer uses the same voice lines as the Giant Blacksmith, just tone and pitch shifted back to it's more original voice
Gargoyles with heads can be riposted, gargoyles with no heads can't
The Murky Longstaff has a Murky Hand Scythe fastened to it
Some enemies can be pushed back when you roll into them (Undead Villagers, Murk Men, Small Crabs)
The scream of the Lycanthrope can be heard in Bloodborne
Rotten Flies take double damage if they are flying
There are numerous Berserk references: (Carthus Worm, Wheel Skeletons, Artorias' pose, Merc Armor and Watcher Armor)
Gundyr is modeled off of King Doran from Demon's Souls; his armor even backs up this theory
Ludleth has no legs
Ludleth with dream of the time he linked the fire
Ludleth, despite being on his throne, will warn the player and suggest they link the fire
The Transposing Kiln is in the shape of the Dark Sign
Attacking Friede or Vinheim causes them to disappear
The area you fight Donyl is Priscilla's boss arena
The Painter cannot die
After you give the Firekeeper the eyes, she will begin to examine her burned hands
Some enemies are hostile to each other (Black Knight and Demon-Ghrus)
The Deacon's chanting are actually pleas for help in reverse
The SOC has a unique grab attack with the Lance form
The SOC can use sword attacks with the Staff form
Gael's Soul is actually a humanity sprite that's been infected with the Dark Soul
Gael's Soul is also remarkably similar to Manus' Soul
Only the Tall Deacons with create the curse fog
Using a weapon art shield without a weapon in the main hand will cause it to a bash, similar to kirks shield
"Gael's soul is humanity infected with dark soul"
....
The humanity is a fragment of the dark soul.
@@schmebulockjizz What you need to understand is that Humanity is what keeps a person human in mind and body. Somce Gael's humanity was touched by the very source of humanity, it tried to bond and merge with it, corrupting his form in the process. Much like Manus, where he was once human as implied by his pendant, the darkness of Humanity corrupted him and turned him into the "Father" of the Abyss: He was the first one tainted by it, rather than formed by it

Here is another one:
The spirits that burst out of Gael are what draws the lightning after it gets in contact with the ground, the spot gets marked by a stain of darkness. Also this lightning itself will damage Gael a little.
What does this tell us lore-wise?
Is it that dark is so heavy it attracks light? And so light afterall does tend to darkness.
Maybe gael just indiscriminately control the weather

And then he goes for the killing blow anyway
The discription of the Titanite Slab is literally Darksouls 1's Opening cinematic.
The 1st paragraph tells the tale of the old Arch Trees and the Ever-lasting Dragons.
The 2nd half speaks of the Fire that produced the 3 Lord souls and the battle of Gwyn and his allies against the Dragons.
The last half mentions the Age of Fire, Gwyn's age, then the dark age when humanity ascends.
24:10 Why tf that scared me every time
because its so delayed. This damn scream gets me every time too
xD
for those who were looking for actual proof that gael becomes hollow in his 2nd phase, rather than just seeing the cutscene again, he becomes weak to the hollowslayer greatsword.
When you see the dragon in the bridge in dark souls 1 *23:09*
Player: YOUR TAIL, IS MINE!
Im fuking ded 💀
The real discovery is that Aldritch makes Cider.
That's deep, dude
mmm aldritch cider

@@robindom.2186 Shut the fuck up and drink some albitch cider

One of my favorite things with Friede's fight is if you die while married or as Lord of Hollows (Not champion of Ash), she'll tell you to return to Yuria and your kingdom.
I would label the theme as Gwyn's theme playing, as I think it references Gwyn's power coursing the Lord of Cinder.
Anri showing up at the end to bend the knee for you. I'm unsure if buying Anri's armor from shrine maiden will take the armor away during the cutscene.
Loved this video, i will now go throw rocks at Horace from the bridge.
5:02 From what I remember, the fact that you roll backwards if you block a heavy attack was already a thing back in DS1. A good example are the attacks of a Taurus Demon.
It says a lot about Dark Souls when one can play the game multiple times and yet miss most of these amazing discoveries. Thank you for this fantastic vid!
Yeah ......didnt knew rare attacks of hard bosses ....even after getting killed by them multiple times ....... or maybe i was so busy in fight tht i didnt notice anything different
I have like 400 hours in this game and I didn't know the majority of these discoveries
Game is just too big/complex
@@kevinvargas2763 I've never tried to duck in order to avoid attacks because why would that work but now that I know it will why wouldn't I do from now on. Also Homing Soul Mass being broken by Alluring Skulls make sense but again why would you ever think that's a thing unless you found it by accident. Lloyd's Talismans putting Mimic's back to sleep is another thing that unless somebody told you or you were fighting an Invader around a Mimic and hit it by accident you wouldn't likely figure it out by yourself ever.
50:17 this ringed knight drops a titanite slab the first time he is killed
Thank you
I know it's been a long time, but Here's a little secret i found out, if you give loreta's bone to the "bird" on top of the firelink shrine, you get a ring of sacrifice in exchange
You are a monster. (thanks for the tip!)
Yeah I did that once but its totally not worth it bc then greirat wont leave firelink shrine to get the goodies.
I did that and ruined Geirat’s questline, thought the bone wasn’t worth shit 😂
I use the bone coz i thought it was homeward bone. Lucky greirat doesnt know
It's freaking terrifying, after all this years, how much gloomy, dramatic and beautiful details there is in those games.
Bravo for gathering this video.
Me playing the DLC for the first time: " AAHH spinning turtle things!"
Me playing for the 50th time: 46:20
Get that shot out ma face batch your weapons can not harm me don't you know who I am!?
Estus Soup is also effected by the Estus Ring.
Also, it's not the plunge that staggers the big crabs, it's a set amount of poise damage. If you plunge with a light weapon (rapier, dagger, straight sword), it won't stagger the crabs.
Dropping down also deals a lot of poise damage, so landing on enemies like the big crab or twin demon can also result in a riposte
@@yanli111 twin demon... You mean the demon prince? How can you jump on them?
@@iota-09 exactly like whats shown at 43:29. just let a summon land on its head and profit. I called it twin demon cause i dont think waiting outside the fog gate till 2nd phase is a really viable strat, and demon prince tends to move around alot so it would be much harder to land on him.
@@iota-09 in fact, now Im looking back at the footage, it seems like thats exactly what happened, Lapp simply landed on the demon, dealing a huge amount of poise damage, and let the player riposte. He didnt plunge attack, there wasnt any halberd plunge attack animation at 43:47
Wanted to add for Gael hollowing that the Hollowslayer GS actually does extra damage against him so that's pretty cool
I absolutely love ds3, the attention to detail is amazing and the whole religious and corrupted theme of the game is what grabbed a hold of me, I especially love boreal valley because of its churches, tall towers and the winter midnight vibe. All the throw backs to the previous games are great as well
If you haven't played or seen it yet, Bloodborne shares very similar religion/corruption themes and also some impressive architecture.
Dude just flashed away as he was about to smite Anri with the power of 14 oceans
Catacombs crab, credit: Limit Breakers
Oh yeah he really went in depth with testing that crab lmao
Thanks a lot for posting!
Perhaps you could help me discover where Horace went. To my shame I was snared by a trap and we have become separate.
Killed by a black Firebomb
Look down he's right there
He was right under your nose
I truly loved this game to a level that reaches obsession
You're in good company
8:45 the player character commits a war crime, and its extremely amusing
"Miracles show Anor Londo and Gwyn"
This one is a surprise, yes.
But I wouldn't be surprised if texts on them are actually done and contain lore.
Reminder that, canonically, miracles are invoked by reciting great stories of legends or heroes long ago.
@@ChargeQM In other words, verses of the DS equivalent to the Bible.
_In other words,_ praying.
It all makes sense
The amount of details in this game is STUPEFYING
Even though I know a lot of these facts, watching them all demonstrated and listening to the music and everything has been so much fun. I've also watched the DS1 and BB videos, and the whole series was just great. Thanks so much for putting in all this effort!
4 years and this game is still getting tons of attention.
Even if there is never a Dark Souls IV
The series will never die.
Or as giant dad would say: "The Legend never dies!"
Don't worry, they will probably remake it one day XD
I mean we got Elden Ring on the horizon, right? Right?!
@@yahabibi2413 elden ring is a myth
@@victortunisse6686 and hope its not like the ‘remaster’
"The demon prince's arena is Firelink Shrine (DS1)"
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? literally mind blown
also the Halflight arena being the same as Aldritch's and O&S's really shocked me, I can't believe I never noticed it!
I knew it looks similar, I just never realized that it actually had the same design. It's not the same room but it makes sense that both cathedrals would have the same exact design considering Gwyn's influence on both Anor Londo and the Ringed City.
The 2nd bonfire in that area is called Earthern Peak Ruins and is a direct connection to Earthen Peak from DarkSouls 2 in the Harvest Valley where you fight the Covetous Demon and Mytha, The Baneful Queen to reach the Iron Keep...
The area transitions from DarkSouls 3, to 2 and then to 1 when you land in the boss arena which is the original Firelink Shrine
The one about the dancers opening being reversed laughter is so interesting.
My only wish is that this channel comes back and does Elden Ring discoveries.
28:01
I remember perfectly this, because once when I was fighting the dancer I threw a firebomb, Wich missed, putting fire on a chair. 10 minutes later the whole arena was in fire, it was beautiful.
actually, her fire sword also sets the arena on fire. so your bomb probably contributed, but the main damage she caused herself
@@Paulito-ym4qc well, didn't know that even bosses can do this kind of stuff, man that's crazy the amount of details in these games
@@kayleen__1620 there's even more: during your fight with the dancer, she sets the arena on fire until the whole arena is burning, but when she dies, she explodes in a pile of ash, extinguishing the flames, the room gets dark again.
these games are really something.
@@Paulito-ym4qc man the details in this game are incredibles
@@Paulito-ym4qcmy mind = blown
thanks dude.
I was blown by the fact that the soul of cinder area is a giant arch tree. These story writers really covered everything.
This shows how well thought out the souls games really are
Except Dark Souls 2, that was a soulless husk made by a bunch of greedy pieces of scum, no wonder this guy didn't make a video on it
@@alfalldoot6715 extremely based opinion
4 and a half years later and this game is still running strong
23:49 "Aldritch's 'ciders' are covered in parasites" Lmao
After you run out of Estus' and Siegbrau's, there's always Aldritch's Ciders! Try one today at your local shrine handmaid for only 1000 souls!
@@akitta21 mh, tastes like maggot.
Crunchy!

Picked up my first souls game early in 2020 as DS3 on PC and it has quickly become one of my absolute favourites. This video is incredibly well done and has single handedly sparked my intrest in the lore of the franchise so I feel as though a simple "like" won't do. Thank you for this absurdly well documented video and all the work that went into curating it.
That you enjoyed the video is good enough for me!
