Interesting info: Lapp means patch in swedish :-)
lap in Danish means patch aswell xD
Exactly the same in Norwegian. Seems to be a theme in this DLC (lapp, "Harald" knights - Norwegian/Scandinavian first name), along with Irish mythology (Midir, god of the underworld).
It's almost like Sweden and Denmark are the same country.
In norwegian too. So, in all scandinavian languages.
blender7 the Scandinavian languages (Danish, Swedish and Norwegian) are actually so similar that in most cases we can understand each other just fine even though we aren't speaking the same language.
You can tell vaati had fun playing as an humanity sprite.
He couldn't help but to dance as one. xD
dude be jammin' :D
the humanity sprite is so god damn adorable
got to the end of the video, go into comment section, see this comment, scroll back up, humanity wiggle wiggle!
the Sprite would make a good small tattoo
who didn't? lol
Ah yes, I will never forget my fight with “spear of the church: bigdickboi”
True story
Finally, a worthy oppoenent. Our battle will be legendary!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had some fuck named "crusty pillowcase". Suffice to say he immediately killed me because I just stood there mind broken trying to comprehend this 'NPC'.
Ege Boy, I get the reference
I’ve been having fun fighting invaders right outside the pontiff door
In fact, the old woman npc at the begining of the dlc, eventualy dies "naturaly" when you complete the dlc. And in that case, the angel appears but it isn't hostile.
So there is no angel tree that goes with that angel?
No i think it grows over years also i think the angel is only hostile if you kill the hag if she dies at the end without player input i think she still retains a bit of her sanity
@@Lupus-iv7jp the angel was always hostile in my games and i never touched the hag
@@tobybll But you have to finish the DLC apparently for it to be non hostile
cannon I believe you have to exhaust her dialogue a completely. Which means maybe buying her stuff before hand
How does vaati know all these things without the help of vaati
some drunk Easterner He probably goes to meet his future self, and gets the information that way. maybe. I could be wrong.
vaati and his damn time powers
"The flow of time is convoluted"
wait if vaati asked the future vaati,how did the future vaati know the answer
Tobias Widjaya Future vaati asked the next future vaati
you thought it was a new NPC, *but it was me, patches!*

Llamedos Ouyreggub WRYYYYYY
Is.... IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE????
You mean Siegward right?
ZA WARUDO
Anyone else think the Humanity sprites are adorable?
*I do* -they are so cute- _they are cool_
totes adorbs
They are cute
No
Yeah
The Hag also transforms into an angel once you kill Gael, the angel patrols peacfully and doesnt attack.
thats nice, she is one of the many characters i grew irrationally attached to despite only talking to her 3 times... i just went to see if she was fine after finishing the DLC a few days back and was really sad to find her ashes...
Slightly wrong information here. She turns into angel after you wake Fillianor. Doesnt require to beat Gael
I love how the unkindled just stands there awkwardly after he breaks Fillianore's ball, like "uh, surry. :("
''no touching!''
"I really should stop doing that, I know. Last time I let out a giant skeleton out of some cup."
Pretty much all of Dark Souls 3 is your character touching shit he shouldn't
Touchy Souls 3.
Grambee what was that she was holding anyway? and why did it seem to teleport time forward? that whole area you end up in looks exactly like from the opening cinematic. Lothric seems intact in the background though.
I think at the end, Patches for once wasn't trying to kill you. At that last point he was instead teaching you a lesson. In DS1, Patches kicks you off a cliff to your death. In DS2, his reincarnation (Pate) tries to trap you if you help him survive. In DS3, he tries to feed you to a Giant and locks you in Firelink to fall to your death. But at the end, he doesn't try to kill you. He kicks you off, to an area he knows you'll survive. He's Patches, he doesn't make mistakes like that if he wants you dead.
He tells you that every age has the greed of men, perhaps taunting you for falling for his trap one last time. He says he is devoid of all worldly wants, then laughs. But... I don't feel it's a smug laugh. It sounds almost bittersweet. He then sighs and tells you that maybe that's just how humans are. He says he'll put you into his prayers, but not smugly or with the chuckle he's always had, but solemnly. As if letting something go or saying goodbye. He mockingly wishes you a fine Dark Soul, but not to mock you, but to mock what feels like the City itself.
We saved him from his hollowing, and he promised to remember you as a friend. And he does, he remembers you, this undead who's lasted so long, trolled and killed so many players, he truly remembers you. And then he's gone, all that's left is the memory of his last ruse against you, one last prank to pull, one last undead to scare before he calls it quits. Aside from that, we get his armor, the last thing he left us as a reward for surviving one more time.
So at the end, he was trying to tell you to not be so greedy, to think a bit more, to trust a bit less, which is the best lesson anyone can teach us in this hellish land, even if it's just a bit too late to matter.
Patches truly is one of the best friends one could have.
Album Interpretations I take it like that was a message coming straight from miyazaki himself, considering that patches was his idea
It might not be coincidence that the only chest in the whole dlc is in that same area and it's a mimic.
Indeed, you can summond Patches in the next boss fight.
Heck, he gets you safely to the place you need to go without fall damage or the chance of accidentally falling off. If you try to go up the stairs you fall through, take fall damage, get attacked by enemies and invaded. When he kicks you off you have time to prepare for it
i felt patches was myazaki talking to us.
the story of Lapp is honestly one of my favorites in all of souls, maybe even ever. your sole "friend" who's been with you, one way or another, through each of the games, always up to his usual tricks, always persisting. yet, finally, he was able to reach the true end of the world, only to lose himself. We see a Patches that is perhaps the original Patches, before he saw the corruption of the church, an honest, helpful man who wants nothing more than to discover the truth, to discover himself. He helps you, and promises to be your friend even after he recollects himself.
It is only by your actions that he's able to remember his past. And, like the good old times, he kicks you off a cliff... except this cliff leads not to a pit, but to the way forward. Patches and Lapp have both acknowledged you, just as you have come to acknowledge them. You part ways, not through betrayal or death, but with purpose, a goal to end the rein of the gods and the corruption of the church, to fully unveil the truth.
Well said
Yet finding solaire at the end of the world would have been a lot cooler.
Another cool thing they did is that before Lapp regains his memories, he tells you f a treasure hidden in a dangerous place. When I played this part I got serious warning bells going off in my head because it wasn't until then that I recognized his voice as Patches. But the treasure he mentions is actually there, and there's no trap waiting for you.
@@mlggodzilla1567 As far as I remember, Dark Souls lore implies that Solaire burned himself to the first flame so any further appearance wouldn't have made any sense, but maybe I'm wrong! It really would have been awesome though.
@@JordiMataGarcia i thought Solaire just went crazy because he couldn't find the sun?
#7: Gwyn couldn't figure out how the hell to pull out so he just sorta masked his mistakes by putting them in the farthest corners of existence and building entire cities around them.
"not knowing how to fix mistake so he goes utterly above and beyond what's sane or rational" is literally a description of everything Gwyn did in his misbegotten life
@@TheCreepyLantern I really find gwyn to be stupid. Dude just had to let go of his pride and accept that all times have a ending . The age of fire would die and the age of dark and humans would come yet he decided to torture everyone for no reason. Hell with enough time the age of fire would come again
@@jurivjerdha2467 i mean you're RIGHT. but at the same time, if you were informed the country you live in was gonna be wiped off the face of the earth, the end of everyone, everything, and every bit of culture you've ever known.......
Are you sure you'd be thinking 100% rationally even if i went "don't worry, humans will probably settle this land again in a few thousand years"
@@jurivjerdha2467 i think the issue is more of that once the age of fire ends, so too does his reign (and i believe his existence as a whole as well, as man will take over)
At the end everyone can be a child of Gwyn....everyone but Solaire
IImagnumalucardII Ouch
IImagnumalucardII hm?
the boss arena of the demon prince is the original firelink shrine.
Holy shit
Holyyyyyy! S...!
Omg
original firelink shrine in DS1 ?!
@@tossapat027 yep
You know one thing that bothers me is that they have the skill to make a huge fucking badass dragon like midir but they don't have the skill to make patches mouth move when he talks
I'd say they have their priorities in the right place
Eh, I don’t mind
Patch is a telepath confirmed
He's wearing a flesh mask.
@@jimijenkins2548 is he? I thought that was just his face
Restores Patches memories
Patches kicks you off a cliff again
THIS IS WHY YOU BECAME SPIDER!
spooder
Patches: I've found you some treasure
You: Hold my beer
No way Patches the cheap ass paid for the DLC lol
he must have paid from the corpses hes stripped off of XD
He must have threatened Gael to bring him there.
By saying he’ll kick everyone he knows and loves
He didn't time travel like us. He waited for the literal end of the world so he wouldn't have to pay.
@@mihirlavande That must've been painful for his legs, squatting for hundreds of years
Is it what he out all that costly merchanting profit towards?
No, he's just unbreakable, squatting till the end of the world.
This DLC was the perfect sendoff to Dark Souls. It was brutal yet beautiful.
*cries*
Imagine being emotional over a fucking video game. What a loser.
Watch out we got a badass over here
@@deadinside9565 *cries*
@@deadinside9565 imagine responding to a 4 year ago comment and being an asshole, what a loser
ahhh the cycle begins...
Was I the only one who heard patches voice and screamed "DONT DO IT"
When, tho?
He basically alerted you when he mentioned treasure
The moment he spoke, i was like "Patches?" lol...no good can come from this...lol
I said "oh fk not again." While having ptsd flash backs of being kicked off of various cliffs. Also he's doing the Patches Squat when he tells you he got his memory back.
Lapp's identity is not really a secret if you pay even a little attention to his voice and gesture
I knew that it sounded an awful lot like Patches!
He also give a siegbrau
Remember Vatt is a story teller.
He tells you things like someone telling you a story.
Thats kinda his thing.
Lapp is patch in swedish so there is a clue as well
The name "Lapp" also literally means "Patch" in Norwegian (and the other Nordic languages).
Amusing fact - Filia means toast (the bread variety) in Bulgarian. Therefore Filianore would we considered the daughter of toast!
I am from Bulgaria. How the fuck did I not think of that. I am disappointed in myself.
Евдокия Шестакова wat
Well if the -anor part of her name means 'of the sun' ,being derived from anor, wouldn't that be Toast of the Sun?
Siegward: "For the moment, we have a toast to make."
(Pulls out Filianore from his inventory)
Siegward: "LONG MAY THE SUN SHINE!"
well filia is latin for daughter so...
Hearing patc- I mean Lapp say “no matter what, I am your friend” makes me wanna break down and cry. No matter how much shit he puts you through, I’ve always had sympathy for him because in the real world, the only type of people who end up like him are the ones who have never truly been treated with kindness themselves.
I kill patches whenever I get the chance in all of the games.
The virgin "i have sympathy for for patches"
Vs
The chad "i kill him everytime i see him"
@@wnrandom98 I used to onsight him for taking siegward’s armor
@@wnrandom98 you don't need to call yourself out sweetie, it's okay to feel alone sometimes
We all have that one backstabbing friend like patches.
Those statues in the ringed city are nearly identical to the Crucified feral hollows in the Crucifixion Woods
Those things are hollow?!
@@Noname-om3pp i mean most of the foes are hollows
and those specific ones i think theyre called somewhat werewolves, i forgot the right term they are officially called, damn
@@Suveramort lycanthropes I believe
@@Crappy9922 yes! it!
Funny you should mention that, that pattern (the circle with the line down the center) is kinda similar to the Sword of Avowals, the ceremonial blade you “marry” Anri with.
After Demon Pronce boss fight, you walk trough a ruin of a familiar building. It is Firelink Shrine. The old one, from DS1
omg are you sure?
@cloudykai WOW, BUT WHY IN THAT LOCATION?
SkillfulCurve Cause the ringed city is all kinds of kingdoms squadhed together
@@jesuskistus3555 thanks bro
I always thought it looked more like new londo than firelink.
I would put Midir to rest, but he's relentlessly slaughtering me
Also the Dragonslayer Armour (boss) returning was awesome :)
Make a top ten re-used bosses list
no, top ten swamp levels.
No, top ten Bloodborne bosses. we won't forget
Top 10 Enemy Bare Feet

Vatti that's not why patches made it.
He was only fueled by his endless need to troll.

Deepest lore
Here's another cool detail, the desert area from the future where you fight Gael was already shown in the first seconds of the teaser trailer for the original game I think (the scene where the pilgrim falls)
Ds1 or ds3
and behind this wall is a secret giant dad boss battle and behind this wall is another boss battle but its solair and behind that wall.....
TheNamesNate Ocelotte?
OOOOOCEEEELOOOOOOOOOTTTEEE
That's COMMANDER Ocelotte for you
i totally forgot about Ocelotte.
Why is he no Boss? From, why is this the last DLC...
GermanKraut because he is an invisible baby.
You can also use the white branch to transform into a humanity if u dont have chameleon
you can also buy them from the hand maiden when you give her some ashes, So you can stock up on them and never have to use Chameleon
I tryed it with the white branch. Doesn't work... ;( I've killed the guy who sold it... More ideas?
You have to use it 2 times in a row
Ambi Valenz it definitely works, I've done it.
Ambi Valenz I did it with the branch so it works.. you just have to do it standing in the swamp.
Vaati! You can also revive Judicator Argo with the Velka statue in the Undead Settlement.
I guess it has some story significance.
I summoned shira with me to fight midir, did not interact with her after, then when I was searching the area with Gael, I walked into a shrine, and Shira appeared and called me a traitor, and I had to kill her :'(
James Kun she's always hostile dumbass
Same with me when I thought hawkwood was a hollow sitting on the shrine's stairs.
She turns hostile only after you shatter Filianore's Kinder Egg. Once you do you are thrown into the future, which is why you fight her in her room, only destroyed by time now.
Jay F It wasn't the future. It was the illusion. Bitch been druggin us since we 1st came in.
Nah fam, its the future, first the whole 'time is convoluted' mechanic we keep hearing about throughout the series and the fact that the pygmy lords call Gael "The Red Hood" serves as proof that he has built up a reputation over time.
The Old Woman's ashes shows her hand wearing the High Priestess Ring and the description mentions her as the "wet nurse of royalty". Could she be Emma after she disappeared from Lothric Castle?
Sanadsk lol just seen the vid I'll help you get top comment ;)
Sanadsk You mean dies
+Berg Electron Lapp still shows up in the DLC even if you kill him in the base game, so there's no reason to assume that they didn't simply come back to life like us, keep in mind the DLC takes place in the far future though. Weirdly enough we never even know the circumstances of Emma's death if the player doesn't kill her himself. A circle apears below her resembling the offensive spells used by those crawling clerics in the DLC, so she may have been killed by them?
That depends. Do they share the same voice actress?
she must be, she even mentions what Lorian said about the demon as if she knew him well.
Something cool I'v noticed in the DLC is that you can see Lothric Castle and I think Anor Londo in the background of the final boss arena. The boss arena is the place in the games cover art too.
Hey it's also the same place as you see the pilgrims walking in, in the announcement trailer!
Man, hearing his story makes me feel so bad for Midir, I want to spare him now
;_;7 I salute you dragon
If you spare him he'd probably become corrupted by the dark as Shira said and you'd had to fight a second Manus.
@@GremmyV except that would be way harder because Manus was a human and Midir is an archdragon so thank the lords we finished Midir beforehand.
@@nguyeninhtri1155 Fuck the lords but yes so agree.
Did you notice that you can also revive Argo through the Velka statue in the Undead Settlement? There are certainly some lore implications there.
Trust Patches one last time? You bet your ass I will.
Pff you fool
would've been really hype if he kicked you down first, then jumped down with you.
MatPat's gonna lose his shit when he sees Siegward in the Ringed City
EDIT: I can't spell
Matpat is a cleric
Idunno, he looks reasonably sane.
wcs792 lmfao, matpat dumb af
Yes.
Siegward The Spider? Of Catarina Hyena?
The purging monument one, I happened across a weird hit-box in the middle of the swamp... right past the staircase and just randomly popped items next to it. Within a few minutes I turned into a humanity and was like, "AWESOME!" Then, I found the "riddle" and solved it by being like, "oh, yea, maybe I can turn into the sprite?"
PURE LUCK BUILD, YO!
Luck: 99
Isn't it weird that Patches says "I'll stick you in my prayers"? He hates clerics after all.
mocking them perhaps
The Primordial Serpent statues before Midir, you can see their body shape, and 3 out of 4 miss the top of their head.
That's just variation in the statues - They exist all over the DLC in both eyeless and eyed variants.
MystMGames they are also in the base game
I think it's neat, the differences we're shown between those statues in the Ringed city - where the Serpents appear more monstrous, and foul - compared to Lothric - where they appear more Divine and angelic.
I guess the pygmies really fucking disliked the Serpents!
DONT SLEEP DONT EAT DONT DRINK JUST THINK ABOUT POSTING MORE VIDEOS
FEAR NOT THE DARK MY FRIEND
And let the feast begin.
Invisible Fiddle I have no idea.
i just assumed that the preacher were just cannibalistic or something, "fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin", "dont fear death and get in my belly"
Midir seems the closest to the everlasting dragons. Of all the dragons we've seen he's got the body, head, wings, and most importantly the scales of the everlasting dragons. He only looks a little different than them and is perhaps smaller. I'm betting he was a newborn/egg/youth at the time of the beginning of the Age of Fire and was acquired at that time.
I know a cave's a cave and I'm probably like 5 years late to this revelation, but the cave in which you fight Darkeater Midir, doesn't the view look like the cave in the cutscene where all the nekkid not-yet-humans find the fire before the age of disparity?
It indeed is the same place
Right when I gave the painter girl the blood of the dark soul, I knew the series has finally come to an end. I decided not to give my name up since the dark soul isn't about me, it's about all of us. For we have all dived and played in From Software and Miyazaki's painted world called the dark souls series. What a wonderful video game series that is dark yet holds hope for humanity as a whole. The real world is foul and broken, we surely have all come to this conclusion. It's the painted worlds from our imagination that gives us the drive to tackle what we call life everyday. Thank you From Software for a wonderful gaming experience that far exceeds any other during this generation.
ronjon707 ok cool but I wanted the world to be named after fart sniffer so I gave my name
PrettyDamnDandy lolz
but who could resist 'the painted world of DLCharacter'
ronjon707 I gave the painter my name. Why? Because Kawaii Desu Chan is gonna be a very interesting name for the painting ya know!
hi everyone! i'm not advertising but i'm a lore enthusiast such as you all! please if you have the will, read this post made by me, i really want to bring up a comprehensive look on the entire dlc! www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/62fjlr/ringed_city_dlc_lore_analysis_and_interpretation/
Before the fight with Midir, you see serpents with arms and legs. So wait the primordial serpents are growing wings.. now arms and legs.. HMMM?
Comes on now people, it's obvious what's happening. Primordial serpents have been profiting off of mans struggles from the start, you can see almost serpent like symbols on Gwyns armor. They're turning themselves into dragons through the power of souls.
'The serpent is an imperfect dragon and symbol
of the Undead. Its habit of devouring prey
even larger than itself has led to an
association with gluttony.'
and BOOM ancient dragons. Everything happens again. Dark Souls 1 remastered confirmed?!
pa ms we only ever saw the head they could have had feet and little fat bodies we dont know
Considering they're called primordial 'serpents', doubtful.
Well probly easier to carve statues in that manner
Most of scandinavians serpents are considered dragons. There is a difference between a dragon and a wyvern, but both can be seen as a serpents since they are represented with a long snake-like body. The primordial serpents could be the dragons we know.
Anybody notice that "Oscar of Astora" his name broken down in Old English is "Os" = God/Divine "Car" = Spear
I never had a more perfect feeling of fulfillment, then when you fought the spear of the church with patches. This alone made him my favorite character in all of the games.
If you didnt know, the ariandel chapel lights on fire the more you progress through the ringed city dlc
Not sure if you found her, but Shira most certainly does not approve of you waking Filianore. I'm not sure if you can trigger this after the boss fight at Filianore's Rest, but if you hug the right edge of the area you'll find a small ruined structure. Walk into it, to the far end, and Shira will "invade" your world (similar to Vilhelm's entrance in the painted world) and face you. Afterwards, go back to Shira's house and the door will be open, and you can claim her armor set.
Also, if you hug the left wall of the same area, there is a dual greatsword Ringed Knight. Kill him for a Titanite Slab.
Oh and Alva invades near the Black Witch Set, and Moaning Knight not-Eygon invades in the Shared Grave. There is a Silver Knight invasion, but I see you found it by your weapon choice against Midir.
EDIT**
Lastly, just stumbled upon this, but the stone humped hag in the Dreg Heap dies on her own if you progress far enough into the DLC. I'm guessing it's once you beat the boss at Filianore's Rest.
Moaning Knight is definitely Eygon. He gets referenced earlier by one of the Locusts and he drops a blindfold, referencing Irina. At first I thought he might be Morne, since it is Morne's armour, but then I realised he was using the Moaning Shield (hence the name) which was unique to Eygon.
I'm not sure what caused it, but the lady behind the door no longer speaks to me.
I haven't killed the final boss yet, nor the secret one, though I have pushed the dragon off the cliff and touched the egg.
It's probably because you woke Filianore. Check if she's at Filianore's Rest maybe?
After you wake Filianore, you've pretty much betrayed her, and she'll later invade you to a ruined structure to the right of Filianore's rest.
Its touching the egg
If you put your sign down in the room before midir hole you get summoned as a church of a spear and fight patches.
Am I the only one who thought Lapp was Lautrec at first because his and Patches' voices are pretty similar..?
Lautrec is Patches though...
No, lautrec isnt Patches. The version of lautrec in DS3 is Leonhart.
They both have the same voice actor
@Bernardo Alves the bedpost you've stubbed your toe on. Yep it's patches.

Alright, I've got a neat little detail for y'all!
Did anyone else figure out that the Old Piligrim Woman is actually High Priestess Emma? In the description of her ashes it says that she was "a wet nurse of royalty", and if we consult the description of the Priestess Ring, it reads "The High Priestess also served as the prince's wet nurse". And just in case you need further convincing, take a look at the ashes' picture - there's a certain ring on one of the fingers :)
Just hit me - she mentioned she wanted to see "an angel"! Possible connection to Gertrude?
Dude, did you copy and paste that from the stone humped hags fextralife page comments?
The other way around, actually X) Copy-pasted this on the wiki so more people can see it
True, also she mentions Lorian as if she knew him personally.
what the fuck kinda JOJO eyes over heaven shit is this?
I know that I am late and propably no one will read this, but after hearing about the many children of Gwyn I realised he has a lot of common with Zeus, as portrayed by ancient greek mythology. Both command lightning, both are the greatest gods among their respective pantheons and both have a lot of children with different women. Not that this changes the lore, but it is a nice touch
Ant Pic Was thinking about that after Vaati mentiones Yorshka's mother. It helps to cement him as even more of a dick, doesn't it?
Not trying to rain on your parade, but the Gwyn -Zeus idea has been obvious since the trailer for Dks1 man.
well no shit Sherlock
One thing I recognized being a massive dark souls 1 fan, is that after smouldering lake, you enter the demon ruins, which is almost what's left of the witches and Lost Izalith. I found what looked like Quelana or her younger sister, who was the leader of the daughters of chaos covenant.
Just want to point out that the egg imagery in the Fillianore sequence is remarkably like the quote in Demian “The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.” Now Abraxas is a deity meant to encompass both light and dark, both chaos and order, so in my mind this is a subtle commentary on how maybe the cycle is broken, that rather than have gods who fight to rekindle the age of light or create an age of darkness, the God in power is one beyond the cycle of light and dark, instead encompassing both in one.
Like the "True" ending in ds2?
Hey Vaati! Since this DLC ends the dark souls saga and its lore. Do you plan on making a "final video" explaining the entirety of the main lore of dark souls or nah? : )
Descaixa Dos Irmão pls do it vaati
DO EEEEET
That video would be as long as the average movie.
Descaixa Dos Irmão to the top. Awesome idea.
I'd watch it.
I recognized Patches' voice. But I never thought this... god damn.
You probably realized already but Lorian killed the demon prince not Lothric like you said.
@Spin-chan Art nah, lothric was tiny and weak
I am surprised you made no mention of Midir's boss area. It bears uncanny resemblance to the intro cinematic of the first Dark Souls. The long rocky passage, leading to a massive cavern... where the first flame was found.
Not to mention all the undead corpses inside it, which probably suggest the "dark" he was kept around to eat was just the humans the gods were oppressing.
'Oppressing' is such a harsh word... I prefer 'Containing'
Humans and their Abyss are full of hunger and greed.
Gwyndolin I love you.
Gwyndolin I really like this theory, I didn't even think about it even though I've fought him countless times
They said that Midir was raised by the Gods (Gwyn) and made vows to protect Fillianore (his daughter) and consume the dark. For he is "immortal" (I assume ageless, still die by stabbing). Also the gods "punished' the pygmy lords by creating their own city hidden at worlds end containing them and their knights who were so close to the power of the abyss, (since humans came from dark their power also comes from the darkness). SO to me it seems Gwyn kept a dragon egg after the battle against the dragons, raised it. Placed the Ringed City on top of the location of the first flame. that's just my thinking. Really amazing to see old places melded with the new from the countless ages. Like earthen peak, anor londo, etc. And how they've changed or see it completely taken over by a different force and twisted in their vision. Alright I'm done typing.
I could've called Lapp's identity just based on that voice alone. It's ALWAYS Patches.
It's always Patches, except when it's Lautrec.
Alexandra Wicks i put a "liar ahead" message before talking to him the last time, he couldn't fool me squatting like that ;)
Alexandra Wicks Someone left a message saying "Monstrosity ahead" in my game when you first see him. I didn't get it at first then it randomly hit me while I was exploring the swamp. lol
"Every age it seems, is tainted by the greed of men..." -Patches
I only just now discovered that after defeating the Spear of the Church. You can go back to the statue of Velka in the Undead Settlement sewers and revive this boss! Kind of an absolution for once specific NPC.
Don't watch this if you haven't played the DLC first imo
Are you guys enjoying it?
you know we will watch anyways, that's why you put it out a.s.a.p for max viewership lol
VaatiVidya the last boss was a pain in the ass, but really fucking awesome. he was like the best of the Orphan of Kos and Artorias, with a totally-not-bloodborne weapon.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
VaatiVidya loving every second of it
\[T]/ Praise the Sun! :D
Vaati you missed the fact that the Demon Prince boss fight arena is the Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls 1. Well included, Upvote so he see's this!
Hell! You're right! If only Frampt was there :(
All I want is a reunion with the serpents!
Infected Nobody, Would've been epic! Although the subtle almost completely unrecognizable shrine felt like a perfect hint of how much things have changed since the glory days
Infected Nobody Statues.
Awoken Genius Aren't they found throughout the base game as well? I might be mistaken but they didn't seem new to me, the ones near Midir
I thought the room was that shit cave of DS2. Hell, even the swamp village is a big shout out to DS2.
thank you vaati,
you and the other lore content creators enrich my souls experience to the maximum.
thank you
Patches laughing sounds like Mark Hamill's Joker
You can actually get patches as a summon on judicator Argo if you've done his questline
Yup. Not Lapp, Patches. He really is your friend now!
He was your friend in 1st game where you summon him at multiple bosses , a friend that was killed by all in the end :D
Teemu Strandén That's really fuckin' kewl! Thanks!
It really made me feel a certain goodness when he kicked you but in the direction you needed to go. Said (from what I understood) that the things he's done to get what he wants was futile in the end, and wished you luck, then he helps you fight the spear of the church which is pretty sick. My only question, is that the last we see of him in the ringed city?
Teemu Strandén the real patches or the Lapp version of patches
I've been trying to decipher what the Man-Locusts are talking about during there little speeches about the dark, and as far as I can guess right now they appear to be talking about various NPCs.
"One was a wayfaring knight, on an endless, forbidden search.
Only the Abyss granted closure, if not reunion with his beloved."
- Most likely this refers to Alva, considering his later appearance within the city and the nod to him being "Wayfaring". Likely the Abyss granting him closure refers to his taking comfort in Zullie, a dark witch.
"One met the dark with learning. But in the end, learned his knowledge was wanting."
- This one is tricky. I personally think this is referring to Aldia, who attempted to understand the Dark but only came to appreciate the futility of the curse as a whole ("Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark... what could possibly await us?"). This also could be referring to Orbeck or Logan, both of whom responded to their being cursed by adventuring out for knowledge, and both of whom met their fates because of it.
"One poor girl slew her own kin, but even so, was embraced, enveloped by the Abyss."
- This is most likely referring to Karla, as the Dark Edge sorcery described how it was "passed from mother to daughter" and "the young girl [if this is indeed Karla herself] never swung it more than once", presumably to kill her mother.
Other than her, another girl who we know slew her kin would be Seiglinde, though she is as far as we know completely unrelated to the Dark, so unless something happened to her after the events of DS1 this seems unlikely.
"And so, she lived in fear. Of the dark, of the things that gnawed at her flesh."
- Obviously Irina, though what is interesting is how the locust claims that "The Abyss has spawned no such creature". Indeed, the insects that we assumed to be haunting Irina are from the Deep, not the Dark, so I wonder how Irina is being affected by them, unless the two forces are more related than even the locusts know.
"And so, despite his weighty armour, he lived in fear. Of a delicate thing, little more than a girl."
- Given that this line is from the same locust as the previous one, we can assume this to be Eygon, who also appears later in the DLC. I wonder if he did in fact live in fear of Irina, or lived in fear for her. I always knew he cared ( ˘ ³˘)♥
If not him, this description could also apply to several characters from DS2, including Raime, Alva and Vendrick himself, though none of them match up to the whole statement as much as Eygon does.
What's really interesting about all this however, is how the locusts even know about these people. Have the become almost legendary figures throughout the ages? Can the Dark share experiences between it's creations in the same way you talk about how demons do in this video? Very odd.
The wayfaring knight is in reference to Alva and Zullie
I thought the "Poor girl who slew her own kin" was Sirris, since the locust also mentions a "Sunless Sky" and Sirris slew her own grandfather.
I could totally see that, I completely forgot about her! The only issues I could see with that would be that Sirris has no direct connection with the Abyss, and that the Locust also talked about how she did not find comfort in the moon, which would be a little odd for an acolyte of Gwyndolin. Then again, Sirris is not an active Blade of the Darkmoon according to Yorshka, so maybe she left the order at some point to seek her grandfather? Would her death then be her being "enveloped in the Abyss"?
EDIT: The specific quote is "Twas a comfort that neither moon nor sunless sky had afforded her before", which yeah, is pretty clearly about Sirris. I suppose that her apparent envelopment in the Abyss must just refer to her taking her own life after the end of her questline, but it was that specific description that made me think it'd be Karla. Guess the Dark ain't picky?
I think that irina was lying about the creatures nawing at her. I mean think of it she wants to become a fire keeper and when she does her voice changes and she becomes cold like she's lost her motive. maybe she thought being a fire keeper would restore her vision and so she lied and used us. I feel like eygon would have mentioned the creatures
Tin Can i think the moaning knight refers to morne, as id you change it a little - mourn - then it fits the description of "moaning", and he also has the same armor and all... however i do not know morne well, so...

Hey Vaati stop playing Monster Hunter you're doing a Dark Souls video.
I love how you speak and explain its so cool how you bring up some lore and i get in such a fantastic and nostalgic mood thank you for that
Here is a neat little thing: the arena you fight the Demon Prince in seems to be the original Firelink Shrine from DS1.
Malcom Alexander whhaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt
You can see the original firelink architecture on the arena. A round indent on the ground where the bonfire should be, a well next to it, all the arches, and the hole in the ground that should lead into the altar.
Olli Sippola thats crazy
lol no
Malcom Alexander I said the same thing when I saw it, fortunately I was the only one of my group of friends that noticed it because I played dark souls 1
In the shrine where you drop off into Midir´s boss fight there are statues showing the entire body of a Primordial Serpent (Most likely Kaathe), it´s pretty disturbing...
I'm thinking It's Fraampt, considering there's titanite in his mouth. He's known to grind titanite down for you in DS1. And now we know angels are part of the religion of the Church of Londor, who follow Kaathe. So, I'm now rethinking the Serpant statues in Lothric castle altogether.
Didn't notice the titanite, that's awesome
There's actually a lot of potential narrative to be gained from that room.
First of all, there's statues of -a- Primordial Serpent, whether it's Kaathe or Frampt or something else is up to you, but also there's a symbol prominently displayed in this small church that resembles the same symbol that the Sword of Avowal resembles (you see this symbol in multiple places throughout the ringed city, primarily buildings that are the most submerged in the abyssal water), which might possibly link it to the Sable Church.
Then there's the fact that little church is actually kept secret behind a secret passage...WITHIN a temple that has a monument to Gwyn giving the Pygmy a crown.
All of that says quite a bit about the situation.
Awesome statue, sadly all you get is a Chloranthy ring +3
there's no potential. we already know from yuria of londor that she was either working for kathe or carrying on his will as she mentions him by name.
when I see Lapp squat. I know this Nigga is Patch. real slav
I love your dark souls secret videos. You have a way of really telling the story really well
Oh man I couldn't believe that Lapp was no other than the beloved to us all Siegward of catarina? Amirite guys?
his favorite character !!
Yeah I bet Matt was shocked to see good ol' Siegward in the DLC.
I literally heard lapp begin to talk, heard who he sounded like and said, "Nope, fuck you patches." And that's the story of how patches died for good.
SAME!!!! as much as I like the lesson taught by our "old friend" I went "nope, your dead you lying sonofabitch!"
I would have killed him.... but he already survived the kill in firelink/the cathedral of the deep and now he's undead and a Hollow so I figured it would be pointless and maybe it would make me unable to expirience his last lore (or not because there'd be none, I didn't knew that at the time)
at one point Lapp told me there's a cool treasure just a skip and a hop away in the swamps and I was like "HA! Yeah right!" and then later I came back to talk to him and he was like "Oh I went and got the treasure. It was real easy, here you go" and gave me a Titanite Slab...
if ypou get the slab before he does, he gives you a Siegbreu and makes a toast ^^
It's L If he fetches you the slab, he leaves behind a brew after the boss fight next to the bonfire.
I love when vaati breaks character and changes his voice lol
Your lore videos are awesome dude.. I haven't even thought of clicking past any.. Good stuff man I'm sub. You tell the stuff like reading from a book sometimes, just sucked in. Great stuff kid.. Keep up the great job
Considering the paint for a new painting is literally made out of the blood of the desendants of the pygmies this has to mean that the new painting will be most powerful and grandiose.
But here is what I want to believe(but highly unlikely): that because she used blood she drew the world of Bloodborne and BAM here we have the origins of the bloodborne universe. Again highly unlikely but LET ME DREAM DAMMIT
woah
Thats what I was thinking as well lol
The ending is so abrupt I was thinking that the "blood" of the dark soul must be there for a reason. Blood Souls hype
It's interesting because she wants to create a cold world, which could mean a world without fire, but it is born of blood, so it is possible the world of Bloodborne was created here. Although I don't think I'd want that world to be named after Dat Boi, the character I just beat the game with lol.
alienArcanist it does sound good though. Imagine a sage in the distant future telling an adventurer ,"Seek the cold, dark painting of Dat Boi." Sounds cool, no? (my painting's name is Kawaii Desu Chan and I'm damn proud of it)
Luka Kapanadze i think she created the dark souls 1 world which is why so many details are different in the sequels
Thanks to Vaati we don't need to do all this work ourselves... or even play the game lol
Eh to be fair there is still enjoyment to be had doing it yourself. These vids just help you find em :D
even when i found all of them by myself, i still want to watch this
because well... Vaati
I do like Your soothing way of presentation. I listen to your videos while working and I actually don't focus on the material. I just do it for combination of your voice and music.
I loved what happened when I gave the Blood of the Dark Soul to the painting lady and what she said about creating a new world with it when Gale may feel happy at last. That was awesome.
Lapp is the swedish translation for Patches
spenespene Good find!
spenespene hey that's actually true
Wonder what name the Swedish Dark Souls players got saddled with.
Famygdala Most just bought the English version.
Lapps whole armour is a 16-17th century swedish armour set with a frogmouth helmet! Nice find!
It's been out like a few hours and there's already things I missed?!?! I literally just downloaded the DLC now
I can't watch the video now because of spoilers but I'll leave a like anyway and come back when I'm done 😊
Kokkie Monster 69 are you done?
Its been out for 13 hours now lol thats more than a few bruh
Well vaati got the dlc a few days ago before it became public so he had some time to find these things.
My heart burned when i saw u made a video about the ringed city because i first wanted to play it. But after ive finished it yesterday i was so sad cause the only bad thing about dark souls is that it ends. But then i realised ''hey, vaati is still there!'' and i was so happy remembering that there is this one youtuber that mastered the skill of telling the stories of dark souls and my joy returned! Thank you!
Good stuff mate! Much love
I KNEW HE WAS PATCHES, GOD DAMMIT.
> new ds dlc drops
>gets more pumped for vaati videos.
vaati, the milwood arrows say that they fough their sworn enimy, the abyss dragon with these
Nice video, Vaati! Thank you for all that "digging" and explaining!
Guys mb someone of you found first 2 soundtracks? My shazam does not recognize them...
+VaatiVidya Did you notice the striking similarities between the ringed city and the city of Londor while you were playing through the dlc? The small Envoy Banner states that Gwynn gifted the ringed city to the pygmies who took the dark soul, who would later become hollow and as Yuria states, Londor is a city of hollows. Another large resemblance to this is that we're told that Londor was founded around a church, and we find the same thing in the ringed city, with the church of Fillianore being at the center of it all. And by far the biggest thing I found during my time playing that hints at me that the ringed city is or is related to Londor, is that if you use your binoculars to look at the tops of the towers from the wall at the start of the area, you can see that the symbol from the Sword of Avowal is all over the ringed city, on the tops of all the biggest towers. Just something I thought was kinda neat ^^
I caught on that the ringed city is indeed londor but I had a constant feeling that it might have been built on top of oolacile.
It's strongly hinted at in game that Farron Swamp is actually where Oolacile used to be, by the prescene of the talking mushroom corpses, Elizabeth's corpse, Dusk's set next to said corpse, and the Oolacile magic scroll all being found there. And another thing pointing towards the ringed city being Londor that I only noticed a few minutes ago, is that there are little figures of Sister Friede carved onto the door going into the church of Felianore
KittyGirl 586 The ringed city is Londor and it also seems to be every other world in dark souls including earthen peak Ds2 and original firelink shrine Ds1. A lot people aren't getting all the refrences because they never played the other two.
I believe it was the old pigmy lady at the start of the dlc who says that you are at the place where all the great empires go when they lose their might and power.
This was what she said:
"At the close of the Age of Fire, all lands meet at the end of the earth.
Great kingdoms and anaemic townships will be one and the same.
The great tide of human enterprise, all for naught.
That's why I'm so taken by this grand sight.
This must be what it's like to be a god."
Well..the demon prince area looks a lot like firelink shrine and..below that far below..in the dark waters of the ringed city, you do find the white trees and items from Oolacile.
You also turn into a humanity sprite if you use chameleon, It's very possible that it is oolacile
I figured out #1 early on. "Lapp" actually means "Patch" in Norwegian.
same in swedish, would therefore guess it has a similar translation in danish since the three languages are so similar
Didrik Lundh It does. Yet in Danish it is only with a single "P"
Thats what happens when you get lost and lose your personality. You become a nordic speaking person.
I figured it out as soon as I met him because he literally has the same voice... I said to my friend "either this is patches or they completely ran out of budget and had to reuse a voice actor."
Excellent video as always. Thank you!
I just finally beat the Ringed City. At the time I was just overwhelmed by the difficulty of the enemies and the constant invasions and hard boss fights for it to have much lore impact, but coming snd watching this video now gives me this nostalgia that I was hoping for while playing through it. I’m attempting to platinum the game so I’m going to play the Ringed City again as well.
The Demon Prince boss room is the Firelink shrine from Dark Souls 1. After the boss we're walking down the tunnel where Frampt once talked to us. Oh and don't forget Earthen Peak form Dark Souls 2.
so is midir the abyss dragon mentioned by the milwood knights ?
Was wondering the same thing
Hrishikesh Sriman Narayan yes. I'm about 90% sure.
Wouldn't think so.
According to Shira, he was in danger of forsaking his vows, meaning it hasn't happened yet.
Hrishikesh Sriman Narayan no
+Sensko Time is convoluted also This huge speculation but I think The Millwood Knights are forsworn (they are in the painted world) because they lost all purpose when they discovered that the abyss dragon they thought a manifestation of dark was actually defending the world against it
U are doing awsome work mate u are truly awsome discovering such lores and I am watching since a long time awsome work mate keep it up
Vaati has the most soothing and kind voice on TH-cam. I could listen to him for hours.
