Dark Souls: 219 Discoveries

  • Dark Souls is a masterpiece packed with little details. I hope that I've managed to show you at least a few things that you didn't know before watching - even you veterans out there! The idea of the structure 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 / PC versions of the Remaster. 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!
    Given that this (and the Bloodborne one) took quite a while to make, please don't subscribe if you expect regular uploads of this sort. I wish I could, but it's just not possible! I'm not sure which game to do next, and I can't promise it'll be out anytime soon, but if you'd like to support this hobby of mine then you can send me a tip here: www.buymeacoffee.com/lakeofmud
    Obviously don't feel compelled to; my content will always be free!
    Also, I'm sorry about the unfortunate misspelling of Hellkite!

      ​@@LakeofMud it's great, yeah. the bloodstain thing can be used to show that some distant geometry doesn't match up with real location, they used alternate renderings to save on processing of course. Sometimes the location is adjusted in order for you to see it better (such as duke's archives from the hellkite bridge. it's shown slightly bigger and a bit closer than it is, otherwise you'd barely be able to see it)

    • @Odinsday

      Textures get loaded into memory in batches, and since dark souls doesn’t have traditional load screens between areas, a lot of this is done in the background as you transition between areas, during elevators n junk where you can’t see either area directly.
      So it probably doesn’t say “hey give me texture 0F382.png,” it says something more like “hey give me whatever ‘the floor texture’ of this batch is”
      and since whatever flag to remove the blighttown texture from memory never got the chance to do its thing, cause you’d never be expected to run from all the way there, it gets pulled first, probably due to some item ID shenanigans
      General unimportant textures may be flagged this way for efficiency. Obviously you want to make sure you’re specific when asking for the boss textures, but a dirt floor is usually just a dirt floor, so it’s not worth stressing over edge-cases like this.

      Preface: I don't actually know Greek, or much philosophy (so take these musings with a pinch of salt).
      In this context, yes, but there's also pharmakeia meaning sorcery/pharmacy, pharmakeus meaning sorcerer/remedician and pharmakós meaning scapegoat/exile/sacrifice
      I think the idea (as implemented in these games) is taken from Derrida's essay "Plato's Pharmacy", wherein he deconstructs Plato's assertion that writing is a kind of "pharmakon"
      Derrida's project of "deconstruction" is tied into this idea that the West privileges speech over writing, as it privileges presence over absence (the writer/reader aren't simultaneously present whereas the speaker/listener are [or were before the advent of video but I digress])
      Indeed, the whole concept of Disparity in Dark Souls is, I feel, a play on Derrida's idea of biased pairs of opposites.
      "Light and dark", and "fire and dark" are just metaphors for "presence and absence".

    I love how much detail is put into this. Its all well-ordered in the areas, in the order u arrive to the areas (if u follow the intended path through the game) and all met with a fitting music theme for this area. It maybe just small things but it makes such a long video so much better to watch. I love it, even if somethings where a bot obvious. But maybe its just that for Souls Veterans some things become common that for other players are still discoveries.

    The beauty of dark souls, which I think is reflected a lot in these features (most of which I didn't know existed before watching this video), is in its grounded realism. These features really make the world seem a lot more like a realistic hard fantasy world that has been statted out. The newer games just dont capture this.

      Not really
      Edit: just thought I should leave this here; “Unicorp CEO never fucking said. THAT’S a fucking strawman.
      Never claimed emotions are childish, don’t put words in my mouth.
      The sooner you realise you’re trying to mock and belittle someone for saying “not really” over a fictional dog just because they made the obvious statement that they’re not sad, the sooner you’ll stop acting like a child on the internet who can’t handle opposition.
      You’re proving my point. You’re a child.
      You’re going so far as to say I’m heartless because...? What reason? None. You don’t have a reason. You’re fucking triggered.
      What, did I hurt pwoor bwabies fweewings?
      Wah wah cry me a fucking river.
      The idea that you’re so goddamn offended that I said “not really” is comical.
      And the fact that you’re actually attempting to mock and belittle me all because I said sif isn’t really sad is fucking golden.
      Sif isn’t really sad. Learn to accept that.
      They’re an archetypal stereotype.
      The stereotype being dogs in fiction having zero personality or character being shown whimpering or limping to invoke an arbitrary response from the audience. And then having said audience irrational side with said dog attacking people for not being easily influenced to an almost ridiculous degree.
      The stereotype being the cliche tactic, and the relation being your childish behaviour in reaction to said tactics.
      The archetype being the dog. There is no need for effort or development. They simply need to include the dog with a sign around their neck saying “innocent” and then all that’s left is for people like you to project assumptions unto the dog. When said dog shows an extremely obvious and lazy sign of being injured or upset you are expected to find it sad.
      And you being easily emotional influenced WILL find it sad. As I said taking irrational reaction to the fact and even going so far as to attack someone for not appealing to your bias. It’s almost funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
      I don’t like sif. His moveset is trash, his hit boxes are trash, he’s unbelievably easy and ridiculously simple to exploit (literally just walk near him and he physically can’t reach you) and his lore is practically nonexistent bc as I said he’s literal archetypal sad character. He’s not sad and he has no personality. You’re just expected to feel sad bc they said so and the only reason artorias existed is so that he can act as some kind of fuel to make sure people like you get the idea that you’re suppose to feel sad..
      But you’re predictable.. I said “not really” and I fully expected a plethora of fucking immature bullshit from some overgrown man children, and that’s exactly what I got. Go look in a mirror. Bc the fact that I was easily able to play you by you just being in such a predictable mob is exactly why you need to reflect on your life.
      But as I said, It would be funny if it weren’t so goddamn pathetic”
      Really childish behaviour from all of you

So before he was taken by the abyss he used his great shield to cast a spell that would protect Sif if she stayed within the spell's radius. Then Sif had to watch as the abyss took him... and then we save her later. (Thanks for letting us, Alvina!)
