Hi everyone, we hope you're having a great weekend! Would you kindly visit the sponsor glockenspyromancyacademy.com/ Every little bit helps Sophie and I to keep The Snack Covenant going :) PS. For anyone wondering when exactly did we get this "sponsor"... Well, it started right here! th-cam.com/video/wMdwDwd2V40/w-d-xo.html&
I was one of the developers working on DS2 and I can tell you that the book is a journal kept by Ludwig the Horse Blade. In the journal he describes how he managed to kill Lady Maria and fool everyone into thinking that he is not in fact a horse.
My personal theory is that Majula was Navlaan's village and the mansion belongs to him. The Scraps of Life spell mentions he was executed alongside his whole village because he sought to restore the art of resurrection, and while the village isn't confirmed to be Majula, there is not a single resident of Majula who wasn't simply an outsider who set shop there. Furthermore, the resurrection in question might be why there is a skeleton in the Mansion's basement, and the collection of books might well be what he studied in order to achieve such resurrection. Chances are, whoever executed him and his entire village also wanted to make sure this reviving body skeleton thing didn't see the light of day and buried it in the basement. Last point and this one I only thought of recently is that Cale may have pickpocketed the key from him. We do know Cale is human and is likely to have met the docile fearful sside of Navlaan because of that, and on top of that Cale doesn't remember much outside of Cartography, so there's a chance he's evil enough to do that especially when you consider our first meeting with him where he rolls a boulder at us. And on top of all of that there's Navlaan's own description of the meeting where he says Cale touched him like he's some rare specimen, which is what made me think he may have been pickpocketed and thus Cale got ahold of the mansion's key.
Gotta say, I usually dislike it when podcasts interrupt their show with ads from sponsors, but honestly? Ive been using Glocken’s for 3 weeks now and I can’t imagine every using another audio book site again!! Highly recommend!!!
I think the monolith in both Death Space and Dark Souls 2 are coincidentally both based on an occult idea related to astral projection, the Tower of Babel, and the Akashic records. The entirety of existence is supposedly inscribed in Akasha (sky), but human lives are instead trapped within the Tower of Babel and genetic memory, or something like that. Supposedly, you can visit Akasha and the Tower of Babel though your dreams to experience your many lives, but the memories and experiences dissipate when you return to consciousness. It has something to do with how light patterns effect your medulla and causes it to produce norepinephrine. That's why on the shaded side of the Majula monolith, you have a record of all the deaths, and on the sunny side the message is faded and illegible like a dissipating dream (with an occasional DLC hint) Akasha is also sometimes represented by the All Seeing Eye, or a Vesica Pisces like the one on Rosibeth's forehead. I think there's some similar themes in Frozen Eulem Loyce as well. The Hindu God Shiva is also responsible for channeling being in and out of Akasha through Indra's net, or Mundis, which is what the temple Angkor Wat (Lost Izalith) is supposed to be a representation of. It's a really elaborate model of ancient dream psychology. I could be wrong though, I recently got a book about it from Master Glocken's School of Pyromancy for the low price of $900, but I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet.
I tried to teach myself Pyromancy on my own and all I got for my efforts was third degree burns. But then I enrolled in Glocken's Pyromancy Academy (tm) - using the Snack Covenant code - and now I hardly ever set myself on fire. Thank's Glocken's Pyromancy Academy and thank you Snack Covenant!
Maybe the book wanst made for giants, but made by the hands of a giant. Would be pretty hard to someone with huge gigantic hands to write a normal sized book...
Wait, but this all hangs together. We know that in DS3, the different worlds were pulled together from different times and places and maybe memories and duct-taped together, but that Sulyvahn just came out of the painting in his own good time, not really part of this timey-wimey nonsense. So, if he wanted to take over Anor Londo, he first had to plan to travel back in time to when it still existed to take over, so of course he would go to the house where a scholar was working on a time machine so that he could pore through the scholar's notes and recreate time travel and go back and fulfill his fantasies of being called "Pontiff"! It all makes perfect sense, Sin!
So Cale finds a key to Aldia’s summer home and is like “Tits. New diggs.” Goes in and checks out the place. Spacious. No leaks. Bacon outside for breakfast come sunrise. Good deal. Then he goes in the library and sees a giant, meaty fuckin flame head reading Macbeth. That’s where our lord vessel originally was because he needed a big enough fire to pop out of. Aldia’s all “Oh hey. Ignore this I’m actually really smart and say clever things I came up with on my own.” Cale’s all “AAAAAAAHHHH!” And he smashes the lord vessel and digs a hole in the basement to bury it in cause, you know. Fuck that shit. Then he just hides down there terrified of all the candles Aldia might pop out of. Then you go and start lighting fires that spawn flames in the one safe room in the house. So now he’s fixated on the map because fuck man. The meaty head might pop back up at any moment all pissed off that dude took his house and broke his bowl. True story.
Is it possible that the book is the stolen giant artifact? It may just be because I went through the giant memories earlier tonight and it’s now 6 am, but it seems obvious that the book had to belong to the giants. I mean, it’s a giant book. Who makes giant books? And if it was a book originating with the giants then it very well could be how Vendrick and Aldia learned to make golem and why it was important enough for the giants to cross the seas in a recovery attempt. I’m telling you guys it was that book all along!
I love the idea of Aldia reading _Macbeth._ It makes sense Dark Souls II is also a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The circle is complete.
It's like the movie _The Purge,_ the first one had to justify it's existence, and explain what it all was, and then people just accepted the premise because it was already known in popular culture and the sequels didn't need all that. Similarly, after the one out of place lord vessel, people stop questioning later ones and just assume that they aren't actually that unique.
I'm working on creating a lore podcast Similar to this one with my gf about Destiny lore, I think the community could benefit from what you guys provide imo
Another brilliant piece of analysis of DS2 crap, love it. 💜😛But Sophie’s closing one-liners have always been killers: ‘The surprise was the book, the book doesn’t mean anything’. Sin, remember in the end of boss arenas about the orphan of Kos, when Sophie was delirious and half asleep? ‘It’s the sea. Goodnight everyone!’. 😂

lmao! best response yet
The best trick Mr. Ed ever pulled.

The boulder gets rolled by a soldier thats dies by the feat
I think you mean Best Souls 2 Story and Lore discussion
My favourite GlokkensPyromancy audio book is the narration of Game of Thrones done by Master Willem, truly a master piece
lmao

8:39 I literally wheezed when Sin said, "Profaned Flame"
And Sophie without hesitation goes "yes"

3:37 Sophie is trying her damndest to provide every possible crumb of edutainment and I am here for it.
The scratching sounds in the walls, is literally the piglets outside. They echo in the narrow halls and it makes a spooky sound.
Can't believe we got Scooby Doo'd after nine years.
6:36 I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard. I love fishing hamlet priest so much.
Little Stool Hype!
The ds2 content i always wanted
I'm just shocked that none of the books are Berserk.
Looks like the Codex Gigas, AKA the Devil's Bible, or it's at least the same size.
Maybe the book wanst made for giants, but made by the hands of a giant. Would be pretty hard to someone with huge gigantic hands to write a normal sized book...

DS2 is the only Souls game I still have. So I play it once a year.

looool
Can you guys do the one giant that doesn’t have a hole face?
I never got why people were so hung up on the lord vessel being in ds2 when there's about four randomly appearing in ds3
It's like the movie _The Purge,_ the first one had to justify it's existence, and explain what it all was, and then people just accepted the premise because it was already known in popular culture and the sequels didn't need all that.
Similarly, after the one out of place lord vessel, people stop questioning later ones and just assume that they aren't actually that unique.
