Man, Artorias is probably the luckiest guy in history. It has to have been thousands upon thousands of years since the first linking in Dark Souls 1, and Artorias, *who was dead way before THAT*, still has fanboys.
+John Doe Seath is almost as good though, seeing as many thousands of years after HIS death people are still killing things by smacking them with his tail.

@@chrissid.3763 You face Manus and stop the spread of the abyss in ds1 but everyobody thinks Artotias did it because he went to fight it and never came back.
We altered history. Artorias was the original thuggy shoes that killed Maniggus. Though Maniggus cant be the real father of the abyss because he is black, so he most definitely would have left.
+MrDeriv Yes, indeed. The Darksign brands the Undead. And in this land, the Undead are corralled and led to the north, where they are locked away, to await the end of world.
Is Yhorm screaming in agony? Im assuming that he screams because 1. He's awakened to participate in the linking again which destroyed his country and 2. He awakens amidst his ruined city
Have time for Christ? Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

Warhammer 40K or The Witcher 3 to a lesser extent. The highlight for me will always remain the original Dark Souls- Artorias, Gwynn, Gwynevere, Izalith, Queelag and her sister... they will always remain the defining characters of the series and some of the hauntingly tragic characters I've ever had the (mis)fortune of knowing. Tragedy on such a scale is something I've only ever seen in the Witcher 3 dlcs- Hearts of Stone more than Blood and Wine and quite possibly the bad ending to the main storyline. Was stunned to realize that Aldrch devours Gwnevere and that the Nameless King is probably the firstborn son of Gwynn.
Even now, almost two months after Elden Ring premiere Dark Souls III will have a special place in my heart as the first soulsborne game I've playied. Maybe it was the last of the franchize, but for me it was the begining
Yes indeed. It is called Lothric. Where the transitory lands of the lords of cinder converge. In venturing north the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words. The fire fades and the lords go without thrones. When the link of fire is threatened the bell tolls unearthing the old lords of cinder from their graves. Aldritch, Saint of the Deep. Farron's Undead Legion, The Abyss Watchers. And the reclusive lord of the profaned capital, Yhorm The Giant. Only in truth, the lords will abandon their thrones, and the unkindled will rise. Namless acursed undead, unfit even to be cinder. And so it is that ash seeketh embers.
+AllisonByProxy Praise the Sun! I had trouble making out some of the words. I understood the whole, but those ambiguous (for me, at least) bits distracted me from my experience.
there's a reason why it's taking so long and we there hasn't been anymore videos about it, so Elden Ring is delayed because Miyazaki made a bet with a Bandai Namco executive that if Sekiro got GOTY 2019, they would give him extra development time for Elden Ring.
I absolutely adore how this cinematic introduces some of the most important characters in the game, doing it in just a few seconds but giving all the characterisation you'd need for them. Not that you won't get more later, but even this would be enough. - Each of them rise as Lords of Cinder, telling you immediately that they already *HAVE* linked the Fire, but are back for some reason. Essentially, you are immediately given an idea that these were mighty warriors of their time who chose to burn and then were eventually struck down by their successors. - They are each given grand titles, such as "Undead Legion" and "Reclusive Lord" to immediately give them some character via narration. We know immediately that Aldritch is some religious figure, that the Abyss Watchers are an army, not an individual and that Yhorm is a shy boy without ever meeting them. Yet this isn't just boring narration, it's magnanimous, grand and you might even say hopeful at this point, introducing each for their quality of Lord of Cinder and almost sounding like an awe-struck fortune teller predicting the great age of Cinder. - Their physical appearance are then used to build up (or tear down) said narrative description. For "Saint" Aldritch, who bears no further description, you see him blob forth from his crypt, all mushy and liquified, causing you to wonder just what kind of fucked up faith made HIM a saint. But then Yhorm's description of "Reclusive", is compounded by him BUSTING to the surface alone, abandoned, a king in an empty, ruined city, with a scream you might as well assume to be from him. And the Abbyss Watchers not only have Artorias's sword design, but their rise from individual tombs highly reinforces their status as a single lord of many figures, as they stand up in sync, looking forlorn and lost, as if they were still ready to watch over the Abbyss, but lost, confused as to where they are and what they are to do. (Which receives even greater significance if you consider what happened to their predecessor, Artorias.) - Their physical appearance is then also used to build up certain other qualities, some related to each other, some entirely unique. Aldritch isn't simply a big pile of goo, but almost looks like a D&D slime, having rotting bones and what seems mouldy meat in his form. This is significant because he's not just weird or disgusting, but horrifying and unnatural, signalling that "he" most likely kills and perhaps even consumes his opponents. The Abyss Watchers and Yhorm both have gleaming armour and weaponry, looking mighty warriors, but with a layer of dust, ash and dirt over them, clearly showing how their time has already passed and they aren't meant to be here, this is a desperate act. Even so, they ARE former lords of Cinder and thus their might is apparent. The Abyss Watchers have gleaming swords and armour, even if their cloaks are torn and dusty. Yhorm meanwhile has more resplendent, kingly armaments, contrasting the fact he looks lost and confused, perhaps that little head tilt showing his absolute devastation at just WHAT he awoke in. These little details in just a few seconds tell you almost everything you need to know about these guys on a rudimentary basis and it immediately outlines who's who. It makes Yhorm feel sympathetic but dangerous, the Abyss Watchers mysterious but heroic and Aldritch mighty and horrifying. It paves the perfect path for the story to then show you more of their work. The heroism and eventual corruption of the Abbyss Watchers, the incredibly disturbing deeds and desperation of Aldritch and the loyalty and suffering of Yhorm, all of which is already hinted at in this tiny intro about them. Man, for all the mechanical mistakes, DS3 has some amazing plot and lore.
+narutokid226 artorias didn't do anything but die in the abyss. your player character is who does the supposed deeds of artorias when you travel back in time. people just believed it was artorias because your character didnt exist in that time period
+That one guy from Hs A shadowy abyss reincarnation would be cool. But they probably won't have more than 1 or 2 returning bosses so im not sure they'd use that on Artorias.
The first time I play this game I was like “Ok !! That’s it, no more” two weeks later I complete the game for 6th time. There are so many ways to play this game. Is incredible !
Upon watching this cutscene for the first time, when I saw Yhorm, I saw him as this towering monstrosity whose roar sent chills down my spine. Out of curiosity I searched up his lore. I then went back and watched this cutscene again and saw Yhorm for who he really was, a giant who suffered. His roar is literally akin to a scream of agony.
Still get teary-eyed from seeing that pilgrim succumb to death, and chills from Yhorm's roar. Master class of immersing you in a completely different atmosphere
Nameless, accursed undead. Unfit even to be cinder. And so it is, that ash seeketh embers. A beautiful allegory. A very special game, a tapestry of philosophical brilliance.
Did anyone else get a Demon's Souls Phalanx, Dark Souls Artorias, and Dark Souls 2 Giant king (forgot his name) sorta vibe from the three bosses? The blob really reminded me of Phalanx though which is fucking pumping me up for a game that brings all three worlds together!
This is still the best opening in the souls game , if u pay attention to the background music, you will out that it’s playing the remix of the boss and character theme when the character is being introduced
The abyss watchers are probably one of my favorite boss in the soulsborne series ever. How they rise up from their tombs into the light and the music that goes along with the scene is memorable.
I fought him with a Guts build with no storm ruler (lol, because he is guts, and guts is a badass!), took me roughly twenty minutes, but it WAS FUN AS FUCK! I drank allmy Estus too... :P
Samer AL-Manasra I don't know what it is, but judging how Storm Ruler does around 5000 damage every hit and it takes 5 hits to kill him, I'd say he has 25,000 health.
I love how when they show each Lord of Cinder, the theme changes to something that sounds similiar to their themes: Aldritch's Gwyndolin-like theme, Abyss Watchers' bells and choir and Yhorm's "louder" choir.
Doesn't matter. Whether you like the Dark Souls games and their successors or not. What matters is that dudes create video game art. At a level that, many years later, some modern developers do not even dream of. Appreciate this vibe, the lords of cinder rise from their graves once again.
I would like to thank From Software and all developers who created "souls" universe for teaching me to never give up even if it seems impossible to beat some enemy or boss. You teach me to have patience and understanding that sometimes you have to fail 1000 times to reach a goal and that the hardwork and trying all over is key to succes. I know that those are just games but my life was changed after playing it.
after playing the game i realized why Yhorm roars like that the people who apointed him as thier leader doubted him a lot and after countless times where he proved himself and yet they still doubted him he made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the saftey of his people and well being he went on to become a lord of cinder(wich means feeding himself to the firstflame as to prevent the world from going dark) and when he wakes up he realized he sacrificed himself for nothing and the people did not even care about him such a tragic character and the most painfull thing is that in real life the number of people like this is not low
I got the chills from Yhorm's roar the first time around. And when I delved into the story more, that roar is a better "NOOOOOOOOOOO" than anything George Lucas could direct. Poor guy legit sounds like he's in pain now
I like how Yhorm and the Abyss Watchers have these cool cinematics, and Aldrich is just like, “sludge time”.

there's a reason why it's taking so long and we there hasn't been anymore videos about it, so Elden Ring is delayed because Miyazaki made a bet with a Bandai Namco executive that if Sekiro got GOTY 2019, they would give him extra development time for Elden Ring.
0:46 too much hype
When you realize this is the last Souls game.
Hahaha
really there wont be others?
No, but FromSoftware could do bloodborn 2 or other game in the same kind. I really hope they will do it.
Nukaviator Me too.
I absolutely adore how this cinematic introduces some of the most important characters in the game, doing it in just a few seconds but giving all the characterisation you'd need for them. Not that you won't get more later, but even this would be enough.
- Each of them rise as Lords of Cinder, telling you immediately that they already *HAVE* linked the Fire, but are back for some reason. Essentially, you are immediately given an idea that these were mighty warriors of their time who chose to burn and then were eventually struck down by their successors.
- They are each given grand titles, such as "Undead Legion" and "Reclusive Lord" to immediately give them some character via narration. We know immediately that Aldritch is some religious figure, that the Abyss Watchers are an army, not an individual and that Yhorm is a shy boy without ever meeting them. Yet this isn't just boring narration, it's magnanimous, grand and you might even say hopeful at this point, introducing each for their quality of Lord of Cinder and almost sounding like an awe-struck fortune teller predicting the great age of Cinder.
- Their physical appearance are then used to build up (or tear down) said narrative description. For "Saint" Aldritch, who bears no further description, you see him blob forth from his crypt, all mushy and liquified, causing you to wonder just what kind of fucked up faith made HIM a saint. But then Yhorm's description of "Reclusive", is compounded by him BUSTING to the surface alone, abandoned, a king in an empty, ruined city, with a scream you might as well assume to be from him. And the Abbyss Watchers not only have Artorias's sword design, but their rise from individual tombs highly reinforces their status as a single lord of many figures, as they stand up in sync, looking forlorn and lost, as if they were still ready to watch over the Abbyss, but lost, confused as to where they are and what they are to do. (Which receives even greater significance if you consider what happened to their predecessor, Artorias.)
- Their physical appearance is then also used to build up certain other qualities, some related to each other, some entirely unique. Aldritch isn't simply a big pile of goo, but almost looks like a D&D slime, having rotting bones and what seems mouldy meat in his form. This is significant because he's not just weird or disgusting, but horrifying and unnatural, signalling that "he" most likely kills and perhaps even consumes his opponents. The Abyss Watchers and Yhorm both have gleaming armour and weaponry, looking mighty warriors, but with a layer of dust, ash and dirt over them, clearly showing how their time has already passed and they aren't meant to be here, this is a desperate act. Even so, they ARE former lords of Cinder and thus their might is apparent. The Abyss Watchers have gleaming swords and armour, even if their cloaks are torn and dusty. Yhorm meanwhile has more resplendent, kingly armaments, contrasting the fact he looks lost and confused, perhaps that little head tilt showing his absolute devastation at just WHAT he awoke in.
These little details in just a few seconds tell you almost everything you need to know about these guys on a rudimentary basis and it immediately outlines who's who. It makes Yhorm feel sympathetic but dangerous, the Abyss Watchers mysterious but heroic and Aldritch mighty and horrifying. It paves the perfect path for the story to then show you more of their work. The heroism and eventual corruption of the Abbyss Watchers, the incredibly disturbing deeds and desperation of Aldritch and the loyalty and suffering of Yhorm, all of which is already hinted at in this tiny intro about them.
Man, for all the mechanical mistakes, DS3 has some amazing plot and lore.

@darklord884 Thank You for posting this.
1:35 Goosebumps every time. Farron's undead legion, the abyss watchers. Sounds so badass lol.
This game has given me multiple heart attacks due to stress and extreme rage. I'm suing.

I always come back to watch goddamn Yhorm. One of the most badass boss intros to any Dark Souls game
Man the way she says "Yhorm the giant" gave fucking chills.
I'm so happy Artorias got a legacy.
+narutokid226
artorias didn't do anything but die in the abyss. your player character is who does the supposed deeds of artorias when you travel back in time. people just believed it was artorias because your character didnt exist in that time period

and if he did why would anyone remember if you yourself can find no evidence of it
+0 Clock The fact that he died in the abyss doesn't make him less of a bad ass, baka desu senpai
I wonder if he'll return in his own form?..maybe like how Ornstein returned in ds2 as the old dragonslayer..
+That one guy from Hs
A shadowy abyss reincarnation would be cool. But they probably won't have more than 1 or 2 returning bosses so im not sure they'd use that on Artorias.
About to do a Blind playthrough myself for the first time in DS3! Prepared to Die! :D
How it was?
You finish it?
You must be a veteran now
How did it go? I'm about to finish the final boss
@@MytzerL prepare to cry
Man… the music in these games is just astounding! Easily one of the best soundtracks ever made for video games!
I love how they never use music except for important areas and boss fights. And they bring their A game for every song
The first time I play this game I was like
“Ok !! That’s it, no more” two weeks later I complete the game for 6th time. There are so many ways to play this game. Is incredible !
7 years later, still a masterpiece.
Love the Abyss Watchers reveal, so badass... 1:36
"Are you still playing in 2020?"
"Yes, indeed!"
It is called masterpiece.
Yes. Indeed...
Upon watching this cutscene for the first time, when I saw Yhorm, I saw him as this towering monstrosity whose roar sent chills down my spine. Out of curiosity I searched up his lore.
I then went back and watched this cutscene again and saw Yhorm for who he really was, a giant who suffered. His roar is literally akin to a scream of agony.
Still get teary-eyed from seeing that pilgrim succumb to death, and chills from Yhorm's roar. Master class of immersing you in a completely different atmosphere
Nameless, accursed undead. Unfit even to be cinder. And so it is, that ash seeketh embers.
A beautiful allegory. A very special game, a tapestry of philosophical brilliance.
So are we all nameless accursed undead unfit even to be cinder?
@@Gurrla yes indeed

Literally the best opening cinematic of every game ever
yeah much better than the oil paintings in elden ring. this one still kicks so much ass
@flugga182 I love elden ring. It's my top. But I agree that elden should have had the cinematic quality of ds3 and it would have been eternal
@@bheleu021 yeah I wish the put something like the story cinematic trailer in the opening of the game, with radhan and Melania fighting.
@@flugga182 Yeah, and kind of weird, since they had a cinematic for the trailer, much like DS3, but they end up with something completely different...
Wrath of the lich king is better
It is one of the greatest cinematics of all times. Even watching it 8 years later. I'm still having the chills as the first time.
1:50-2:20 I can feel Yhorm's pain. He's like "NOOOO!!!! Not this again! I gave you my life! What more do you want from me??!!"
I swear to god that yhorm's rise is a biblical thing to behold with that music
@Gamer's Kismet Except this is not a nonsense video game.
@Gamer's Kismet implying that biblical things are not nonsense......pfff.
@@firekeeperiswaifu3092 It's like steam! It gets an update every time you open it!

@Gamer's Kismet Sure it can both are fiction.
Did anyone else get a Demon's Souls Phalanx, Dark Souls Artorias, and Dark Souls 2 Giant king (forgot his name) sorta vibe from the three bosses? The blob really reminded me of Phalanx though which is fucking pumping me up for a game that brings all three worlds together!
it looks like..the abyss incarnate
like the sludge/puss from the demo and the first boss
the abyss watchers take after artorias it would seem..
That one guy from Hs Yeah you're probably right about it being some sort of abyss related thing but damn do I want a Demon's Souls connection.
+RegicideKo9 Yeah i think 1:26 is Phalanx, 1:46 that sword is from Artorias and the Giant Lord 2:11 :p
+DouMalha at least someone realized its the last giant
+RegicideKo9 dude that second one might as well be officially named berserker. the armor is a deadringer.
god that scene with Yhorm always gives me chills, Fromsoft are truly the greatest game developers of our time
This is still the best opening in the souls game , if u pay attention to the background music, you will out that it’s playing the remix of the boss and character theme when the character is being introduced
I can't imagine how exciting it was to see this trailer for the first time before the game's release
this intro is one of the best intro in videos games history hands down, the part with Yhorm is sick af thats crazy.
4 years later and it's still an amazing game. Praise the sun!
The abyss watchers are probably one of my favorite boss in the soulsborne series ever. How they rise up from their tombs into the light and the music that goes along with the scene is memorable.
only if they never made the storm ruler exist, that would make Yhorm a lord to remember
Samer AL-Manasra I wish this were the case. Give him a proper boss fight, not some cheesy bullshit fight in which he's stunned 90% of the time.
I fought him with a Guts build with no storm ruler (lol, because he is guts, and guts is a badass!), took me roughly twenty minutes, but it WAS FUN AS FUCK! I drank allmy Estus too... :P
lol, I tried that as well, but killed him with a bow, his health is insane
Samer AL-Manasra
I don't know what it is, but judging how Storm Ruler does around 5000 damage every hit and it takes 5 hits to kill him, I'd say he has 25,000 health.

I've killed him with bow, took me 20 minutes of headshots xD

Every brick used to build it has a unique curse on each side of it, I bet!
I love how when they show each Lord of Cinder, the theme changes to something that sounds similiar to their themes: Aldritch's Gwyndolin-like theme, Abyss Watchers' bells and choir and Yhorm's "louder" choir.
Since I know Yhorn's story, every time I see this, I can hear his pain in his scream.
One of the best trailers

Which boss is that
@@willbrust1785 yhorm the giant
"Boy.....what....are...you........doing?"
Before you learn Yhorms lore, you think his roar is a menacing thing, after though, you feel like it’s just a cry in anguish
That's what I once thought. I thought he was waking up, ready to kick my ass once I get to him.

Dark souls three is like one of those anime’s with a really powerful protagonist. Except you’re not the protagonist.
Yeah two cripples that sit in a room all day playing piggy-back are the actual protags. Only in Dark Souls...

This is the coolest intro cinematic of any Souls game
Every time she says "Yhorm the Giant" I'm getting goose bumps
This is epic
And so it is... That ash seeketh embers.
Holy chills
no one mentions the end of the trailer just the hype part. i bet many of the games messages went over most heads. what a beautiful tragedy it is.
This game is Masterpiece, one of the bests even nowadays. Every player should at least try it.
Hell yeah. Dark Souls 3 is one of my favorites
It‘s been 7 years, but this trailer is still sick as hell. The parts with Farrons undead legion and with Yhorm the giant are so badass, dayum.
Coming back to this, that “yes indeed” mannn
Doesn't matter. Whether you like the Dark Souls games and their successors or not. What matters is that dudes create video game art. At a level that, many years later, some modern developers do not even dream of. Appreciate this vibe, the lords of cinder rise from their graves once again.
Man, the nostalgia. It's been such a long trip, but one worth every moment
this game is actually perfect.. I can’t..
This is a legitimately perfect game, an 11/10, fromsoftware will never top this
Hmmmmmmmmmm, thats your opinion, its my favorite from soft game too i thinj
That Yhorm's part always gives me chills
Yhorm: *gets an oscar winning introduction*
Yhorm: *gets speedkilled by a speedrunner who wears nothing but boxer shorts*
No
I would like to thank From Software and all developers who created "souls" universe for teaching me to never give up even if it seems impossible to beat some enemy or boss. You teach me to have patience and understanding that sometimes you have to fail 1000 times to reach a goal and that the hardwork and trying all over is key to succes. I know that those are just games but my life was changed after playing it.
I think that Dark Souls changed my life too
Every once and again, I watch this introduction to remember the feelings I had when I first played this game. And it's amazing, as always.
after playing the game i realized why Yhorm roars like that
the people who apointed him as thier leader doubted him
a lot and after countless times where he proved himself and yet they still doubted him he made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the saftey of his people and well being he went on to become a lord of cinder(wich means feeding himself to the firstflame as to prevent the world from going dark)
and when he wakes up he realized he sacrificed himself for nothing
and the people did not even care about him
such a tragic character
and the most painfull thing is that in real life the number of people like this is not low
I got the chills from Yhorm's roar the first time around.
And when I delved into the story more, that roar is a better "NOOOOOOOOOOO" than anything George Lucas could direct. Poor guy legit sounds like he's in pain now
I wish Darth Vadar had screamed like that.
Her voice is perfection, she sounds so mysterious and wise
8yrs later, still get goosebumps when she says "Yhorm the Giant"
The Abyss Watcher's scene slowly raising their heads up always gives me the chills.
I'd say Aldritch must be the most relatable one here; he just woke up and immediately went to the fridge to see if there were any snacks left.
1:40 me and the boys rising from the undead to hunt down the abyss
After all these years... This is still epic. The game that changed everything.
