Tigger Warning for the last NPC's from 37:04 onwards. It will make you sad. Please watch some cute cat memes afterwards. If you want to know what the NPCs say if they defeat you, I made a separate video for it: th-cam.com/video/iI70UwuJ2ZI/w-d-xo.html
The hardest choices requires the strongest wills ... Shoutout to the voice actors for their performance too, like holy hell do I feel bad for some of them ...
Yeah but some of them are just overacting but I love it it just makes me laugh sometimes when they do a weird long moan after they disappear like bruh is he a ghost moaning in my ear now
It would have been nice to hear more than 5 different voices in the game though... everone's ether Welsh, from London, or a dodgy West-Country accent. Most of the voice-acting is terrrible TBH XD
That is why this is all taking place, the Tarnished wakes up in a church to get killed by a multi-armed abomination, gets thrown off a cliff, and the finds a human being and instantly gets called a virgin... *MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD*
I have been hiding in a bush for 3 hours I invaded an AFK farmer in Liurnia - no lie - five times in a row. He's up on a cliff where you just can't get to him. After 4 pointless invasions I'd had enough. I decided that this host wouldn't get a single rune more from me. So when hunters showed up, I ran away and put on the mimic's veil in a bush. And I hid there. The bush enfolded and protected me. Eventually the hunters gave up and disconnected, but I couldn't disconnect or the host would get runes. So I opted to remain in the bush. That was three hours ago. Since then, I've seen entire generations of hunters and invaders come and go, and throughout it all, I've remained in the bush. The bush is my home now. I'm not coming out. You can't make me come out. I've been AFK farming the AFK farmer. Every time a hunter gets killed or disconnects, I get runes and a furled finger. And the host is going to come back to fewer runes than he was expecting, because one of his invader slots is being permanently taken up by me, crouching in my bush. I like it in here. There are rocks and leaves and sometimes a bug flies by to keep me company. If you invade an AFK farmer and have some time on your hands, I fully recommend doing this, but you have to pick a different bush. This one is mine.
“With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created”
It’s such a subtle difference, but I love the noticeably different ways Diallos’ VA delivers the “In blood!” line. The first time, it sounds somewhat weaker, like he’s just saying it to adhere to his family’s saying, without any conviction. The second time, however, it’s so much more firmer and aggressive, showing that he’s found his purpose and duty in defending Jarburg.
I really like some of Patches lines, the "this simply isn't like you" when you refuse to forgive him, and the "it's me, Patches. Patches!" Make me feel like he really does remember us from all the previous games. Not sure if they are actually supposed to come across like that, or if it's just me as a veteran of the series hearing what I want to hear.
Him insisting we know who he is just hits different when you've played through all the other FromSoft games. Seeing Patches somehow claw his way into each game, still the same slippery little shit he's always been, makes me realize he's just like us. Just figuring out a way to survive and eke out some sort of existence in these awful, crumbling worlds. I can't kill the guy, even if he's a toxic fucker sometimes.
Thanks champ. Just wanna say the Yura/Shabriri actor did some amazing voice acting. The way he switched his demeanor after getting taken over never ceases to impress me. MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!
You know, I couldn't figure out what was going on with them, but her possessing Irina's body makes a lot of sense. Makes me wonder who she was before the possession.
what I don't get is she seems harmless at the beginning, even repulsed when she realized she ate eyes all this time, unlike Shabiri who is already a lunatic
@@kayzeke8571 Theres a chance that instead of being the same consciousness like Shabiri, Hyetta loses her memories or receives false ones when she posesses a body to make her seem more trustworthy/likeable to lure tarnished to the Three Fingers, which could have happened to Vyke, seeing as his maiden is dead in the Church of Inhibition, but she doesn't seem to have any injuries.
Nah there is. Takes forever to get the 2nd Rose Whip otherwise, might as well kill him at the academy town since there's no difference in his loot drops. Plus you get to hear one of his few cool lines

This entire video was fucking painful, especially Millicent who is my fave, but when she said "now you've forced my hand" I actually burst out laughing.
@@Xcalboss I spent the whole time doing her quest thinking she was going to betray me or become possessed by/turn into Malenia. But no, she was just incredibly sweet the whole time, pops up to help constantly, and is concerned for others' well-being right up until the end. I felt like a monster. And then you spend all this while with her becoming increasingly hopeful that she'll be able to live a life according to her own desires, only for her to be attacked by her own sisters at the behest if her shit dad and have to die alone. Hurt my feelings.
@@paracetamolgirl7820 God I feel all of that EXACTLY. She said she wanted to die alone and I wanted to cry, I lowkey wish I could've just taken the needle and put it back myself. If only so she could show up her bastard father and live a life truly her own. I remember on the erdtree gazing hill when she said she wishes she could be more help to me I was really sad I couldn't say something about our fight with makar. And then when I found the arm later I was so hype to give it to her. And now she's resting between really pretty flowers close-ish to her mother. But gowry did not live long after I remembered it was HIM who pushed her to do this bs. Bastard
@@paracetamolgirl7820 The lore behind her is actually insane. Some of it is personal conjecture, but it seems like she's an immaculate conception sort of clone of Malenia that emerged from the Scarlet Rot swamp in Caelid. Like she just popped out with no father or birth. Gowry is some kind of sentient manifestation of the rot, just like Shabriri is for Chaos, and he wants to send Milicent off to distant lands to die and explode in a Scarlet Aeonia to spread the rot and become a Rot Goddess just like Malenia did. Scarlet Rot stuff is insanely freaky but a lot of it takes some digging to figure out.
@@gg2fan Oh, I know. I think the one oddity about her and her family lorewise that I'm curious about is what Millicent would have done to "restore" Malenia to her former self....though I guess it's possible if not likely that her compulsion to try is just another instinct leading her down the path of death/Aeonia ascendancy. I'm curious what Malenia would make of it. She doesn't seem like the wrathful type or one for meaningless violence, despite the fact she tried to chop my head off instantly (Tarnished does sort of deserve it tbh, there's 0 narrative reason for them to be at the Haligtree). She didn't kill Godrick/his men or take his rune when she could have, and she "rejected" whatever the hell Gowry is and his pests instead of instantly smiting them as they probably deserve (unless the "rejection" is just not wanting to be a bioweapon?). I initially thought the bloom in the adjacent room was Malenia's second -- and I'm still not entirely convinced it isn't -- but it is indisputably smaller than both the one she leaves after your battle with her and the remains of the bloom in Caelid. Coupled with the maiden set you can find there, it suggests there was maybe another sister who made it before Millicent did. If that's the case, I'm deathly curious what happened. Malenia rejected her and she was just so sad she died? (Lmao.) Or is that really the remains of Malenia's second bloom? But then for what reason? Why would she cast SA? (Cue 10 minutes of "did Malenia bloom twice or thrice" lore Discord squabbling.)
I didn't realize that Varré was still barely alive after invading him. As soon as I finished the invasion I went right on to Mohg and eventually moved into NG+ without knowing about it. I felt like an idiot once I went into NG+ and fought him again. I like having two of as many weapons as possible so I missed the opportunity to potentially have two of the Bouquet without having to enter NG++. Doesn't matter too much, probably will never try to powerstance the Bouquet or even wield just the one that I have, but... he was _literally right behind me and I missed it._
[Whimpering] "Stop, please..." "You think me a bringer of bale, as well?" "Fine. I am Lady Ranni's shadow and it's for her that I fight. Whatever any of you might call me..." This I think is the dialogue for attacking him after being released from the evergoal, at least according to what I can find in the internet.
I teared up with what you did with Boc!! In my first playthrough, I decided to give him a larval tear because he is so hell bent to be beautiful. But we all know where that leads, and that already made me sad and make me want to do a redo. I did everything even absolution and all. But nothing worked, hence I told myself in NG+ I'll do better. And seeing how he reacted on the last part, he is so frustrated and you can hear that he doesn't want to hurt us because we are his Lord. Dang the emotions. But thanks for this, I have no strength to do what you did!
The way the music picks up and is emphasized when you’re attacking Boc makes it even more sad. That long high pitch string along with the orchestra makes my chest just tighten up.
I guess this npc was dead already for me when I got to that spot in the game. Just looted a glowy thing and got armor. I had already gotten the frenzied flame from exploring so probably has something to do with it
Depends on how you look at it but he could have took over yura’s body after he died by other means like Hyetta with the girl killed by Demi-humans, so he could be looting corpses (in a more sense literal) like the average player for all we know
Unpopular opinion but Gostoc is really sad, he’s been pushed around all his life and even had one of his arms grafted to someone else (presumably Godrick) and when you kill him he sounds so sad, the Voice Actors in this game are so damn good it’s sad
Hearing the turtle priest forgive you for your attempt at murdering him truly shows his character. I legit shed a tear when I realized he could actually die and his death sound were cries. I’ll never be able to unsee this😢
I had to check the Millicent betrayal since I couldn't stomach that. Betraying through at the end of a whole journey, she even helping you in many fights, uugh
dude i thought it was gonna be some honourable duel to end her properly after taking out the needle but no you just brutally murder her in a gank, her dialog is heartbreaking cause she was one of my favorite characters in the game. Had to take a break after that
Wow they really make you feel bad for most of the characters. I even feel bad for Gostoc and Varre, Gostoc just wanted to be free even if he was a little underhanded, and Varre did invite you to the dynasty.
@@askmeificare5557 If you pass the Millicent quest, and kill Malenia. He will mourn both of them, which means that Malenia was dear to him. Well, it seems to me
I mistook boc for a sheep up in the plateau and hit him, and I felt so bad that after running super far away, I used a celestial dew… he’s too kind to die
Im glad that i can finally hear what Tanith had to say after the boss fight with rykard cuz as soon as i saw that giant head, i thought killing it would grant me a weapon like Ludwig. Well it sure hell granted me an invasion instead cuz i didn't see her at all crouched like that lmao.
Interesting how most NPCs have bell bearings that correspond to their affinities. For example, Sellen, Thops and Gowry have the same looking bell bearing connecting them to Glintstone Sorcery (their bell bearings look like glintstone crystals and they look like Sellen's Primal Glintstone so that's what they could be for them). Others, like Miriel, D and Corhyn, show their connection to the Golden Order through their bell bearings with their golden glow. And lastly, Rogier and Iji have bell bearings pointing to their connection to Destined Death/Deathblight that look charred (the bell bearings could also just point to the cause of their deaths). Strangely enough, Bernahl's also looks like their's. P.S. Seluvis is the only NPC with a unique bell bearing, although there is no reason why he should really have one since his puppetry is the only thing making him different from other Glintstone Sorcerers (maybe that's why?). And every other NPC has the generic grey bell bearing.
Millicent hit me hard, after doing the questline myself, I cried so much. Now in NG+ I have to kill her to get the Talisman then possibly another NG+ later for the Frenzied Ending so I can cure it with the Needle.
@@TheHateInYourEyes I did I have the needle, kinda hope I can carry it on NG+, it's a tool item. I have to invade and kill her for a special Talisman though.
These are such well written last words, of course you learn characters secrets in their last moments because they have no reason to hide anymore. Even if just their killer or God hears, or themselves
I used to be annoyed at patches for trying all that stuff but since hearing a few of his death dialogues, I think of our relationship like a Tom and Jerry kind of thing. He has it rough enough anyway.
anyone else notice how NPCs work in online comment phrases into the dialogue? all the more from D, beating to a pulp from Boc, old codger from Iji, etc etc
Funny Yura says you've succumbed to Cessblood.. Makes me wonder, if his dialogue would change should you join the Volcano Manor and are still able to speak with him somehow. And Gowry dropping a Glintstone Bell Bearing like Sellen, is rather interesting!! Fia being protected by Rancorcall(?) is also very cool. Is it really Godwyn, as she claims?

20:48 “Now you’ve forced my hand” hehe I see what you did there
I didn't realize that Varré was still barely alive after invading him. As soon as I finished the invasion I went right on to Mohg and eventually moved into NG+ without knowing about it.
I felt like an idiot once I went into NG+ and fought him again. I like having two of as many weapons as possible so I missed the opportunity to potentially have two of the Bouquet without having to enter NG++. Doesn't matter too much, probably will never try to powerstance the Bouquet or even wield just the one that I have, but... he was _literally right behind me and I missed it._
33:05 that punch was so well deserved, but even after all of the death traps and greedy attempts at my life, I say he’s one hell of a guy.
I came back to Varre with inescapable frenzy and vomited nightmares into him for calling me maidenless btch I’m my own maiden.
Damn bud xD
"I'm my own maiden"
Cope
@@twilightknight2333 What?? 💀

Did you point down and teabag him like you should?
If you attack blaidd at evergaol after iji trap him he has different dialogue.
Wait, which evergaol?
@@apexanjanath6219
Forlorn Hound Evergaol
[Whimpering] "Stop, please..."
"You think me a bringer of bale, as well?"
"Fine. I am Lady Ranni's shadow and it's for her that I fight. Whatever any of you might call me..."
This I think is the dialogue for attacking him after being released from the evergoal, at least according to what I can find in the internet.
Man, Miriel part was agonizing to watch.
Easily the saddest one.
Until he makes that noise. That's hilarious 🤣
that squeal when he died....it was so sad.... LOL :(
I teared up with what you did with Boc!! In my first playthrough, I decided to give him a larval tear because he is so hell bent to be beautiful. But we all know where that leads, and that already made me sad and make me want to do a redo. I did everything even absolution and all. But nothing worked, hence I told myself in NG+ I'll do better. And seeing how he reacted on the last part, he is so frustrated and you can hear that he doesn't want to hurt us because we are his Lord. Dang the emotions. But thanks for this, I have no strength to do what you did!
The way the music picks up and is emphasized when you’re attacking Boc makes it even more sad. That long high pitch string along with the orchestra makes my chest just tighten up.
Thank you for making this video was prob hard for u but there's alot of lore here
I killed Boggart because I thought he was bad and the regret in his that "goddamn it" broke me, didn't expect it
Shabriri: “May Chaos take the world”
Me: “May my sword end your thievery”
I will not have this lunatic steal Yura’s body just for some yellow fire 😞
Truly so, I was sad when Yura died to Elenora. When I saw him in the mountains I was happy, then rage filled me.
I guess this npc was dead already for me when I got to that spot in the game. Just looted a glowy thing and got armor. I had already gotten the frenzied flame from exploring so probably has something to do with it
@@MichaelS5400 he's there to let the player know about the frenzied flame ending basically.
Yura is such a cool dude. Saved me from damning my soul with dragon communion.
Depends on how you look at it but he could have took over yura’s body after he died by other means like Hyetta with the girl killed by Demi-humans, so he could be looting corpses (in a more sense literal) like the average player for all we know
Unpopular opinion but Gostoc is really sad, he’s been pushed around all his life and even had one of his arms grafted to someone else (presumably Godrick) and when you kill him he sounds so sad, the Voice Actors in this game are so damn good it’s sad
Some of these are heart wrenching to see :( , but thanks for showcasing all of these :)
“You maidenless runt”
*dies*
Even in death he gets the last laugh…
Lmfao kale just kept going in circles
Hearing the turtle priest forgive you for your attempt at murdering him truly shows his character. I legit shed a tear when I realized he could actually die and his death sound were cries. I’ll never be able to unsee this😢
words cannot express how utterly badass my man diallos is
I had a feeling roderika would be invincible lol
I had to check the Millicent betrayal since I couldn't stomach that. Betraying through at the end of a whole journey, she even helping you in many fights, uugh
dude i thought it was gonna be some honourable duel to end her properly after taking out the needle but no you just brutally murder her in a gank, her dialog is heartbreaking cause she was one of my favorite characters in the game. Had to take a break after that
@@lothricknight4221 The saddest part is goomba stomping her to death after fighting her sisters.
Yes going against her at the end of that quest line is just bizarre
I hate how her dialogue gets interrupted, but I'm pretty sure she finishes if you don't push anything(Y button?) to clear the item boxes.
So... Technically by killing Boggart we save him from the Dung eater.
Wow they really make you feel bad for most of the characters. I even feel bad for Gostoc and Varre, Gostoc just wanted to be free even if he was a little underhanded, and Varre did invite you to the dynasty.
Alright, I'll admit it; that last part with Boc brought a tear to my eye. That one really hit a soft spot for me
24:30 i never saw that animation and my mind is now brimming with lore. Is Godwyn actually alive? Seems like it was not Fia's spell, by her dialogue
20:04 So, if Millicent is Malenia's daughter, and this guy calls Millicent his daughter, then.. Malenia had an affair with a shrimp? damn
Gowry adopted Millicent. Or at least he claims such.
@@askmeificare5557 If you pass the Millicent quest, and kill Malenia. He will mourn both of them, which means that Malenia was dear to him. Well, it seems to me
@@nagetus6406 Because he is a kindred of rot and worships everything rot related.
When Varre said "physical lesson" he sounded like Snape
I mistook boc for a sheep up in the plateau and hit him, and I felt so bad that after running super far away, I used a celestial dew… he’s too kind to die
This man slaughtered these npc’s so we don’t have to (unless you’re playing through some of their questlines)
Im glad that i can finally hear what Tanith had to say after the boss fight with rykard cuz as soon as i saw that giant head, i thought killing it would grant me a weapon like Ludwig. Well it sure hell granted me an invasion instead cuz i didn't see her at all crouched like that lmao.
Was not expecting the turtle to have that death sound effect
I burst out laughing tbh.
The Jar baby is literally my strength i can’t bring myself to kill them not even if they attack ne
When you killed Millicent and Hyetta, my brain just exploded...
No cap?
Turtle Pope overestimated his toughness value.
Santa riding his donkey in circles is the most comical thing I've seen in this game
Even Varre s death feels so sad...
No
No
yeah he dedicated to Mohg but Mohg wasnt shit >:(
He was just an idiot with a dream of being, sadly that turned him into a monster
Better to be maidenless than the side bitch ijs
Interesting how most NPCs have bell bearings that correspond to their affinities. For example, Sellen, Thops and Gowry have the same looking bell bearing connecting them to Glintstone Sorcery (their bell bearings look like glintstone crystals and they look like Sellen's Primal Glintstone so that's what they could be for them). Others, like Miriel, D and Corhyn, show their connection to the Golden Order through their bell bearings with their golden glow. And lastly, Rogier and Iji have bell bearings pointing to their connection to Destined Death/Deathblight that look charred (the bell bearings could also just point to the cause of their deaths). Strangely enough, Bernahl's also looks like their's.
P.S. Seluvis is the only NPC with a unique bell bearing, although there is no reason why he should really have one since his puppetry is the only thing making him different from other Glintstone Sorcerers (maybe that's why?). And every other NPC has the generic grey bell bearing.
Lmao Varre saying you get no bitches before he dies is hilarious
When you killed the pope turtle, I felt kinda sad because he does nothing about it and just sits there and dies
Millicent hit me hard, after doing the questline myself, I cried so much. Now in NG+ I have to kill her to get the Talisman then possibly another NG+ later for the Frenzied Ending so I can cure it with the Needle.
Exhaust her dialogue at the end of her quest line, reload the area and examine her body for the needle. No need to betray her :)
@@TheHateInYourEyes I did I have the needle, kinda hope I can carry it on NG+, it's a tool item. I have to invade and kill her for a special Talisman though.
These are such well written last words, of course you learn characters secrets in their last moments because they have no reason to hide anymore. Even if just their killer or God hears, or themselves
damn this video just made me realize that I missed so many npc's
Alexander vowed never to return home, 39:43, little did he know he wouldn’t even return from this encounter… 😭
I used to be annoyed at patches for trying all that stuff but since hearing a few of his death dialogues, I think of our relationship like a Tom and Jerry kind of thing. He has it rough enough anyway.
Why is it that the one death that hurts me most is Boggarts.. the sound of his voice just kills me
this whole video make me realize how top tier is the voice acting of this game
anyone else notice how NPCs work in online comment phrases into the dialogue? all the more from D, beating to a pulp from Boc, old codger from Iji, etc etc
at first I was like "ah miriel can't die :)"
then immediately started crying I hate you
Kale: "I'm glad you are not after my throat"
Him: "Are you sure about that" 🤣🤣
I actually I feel kinda bad for some of them when they die. Their voice actors and writers did a really amazing job with this stuff
I was waiting for someone who’d make this video thanks bro!
I like how the pope turtle is just chill with you attacking him
watching this was legit kinda hard
Funny Yura says you've succumbed to Cessblood.. Makes me wonder, if his dialogue would change should you join the Volcano Manor and are still able to speak with him somehow.
And Gowry dropping a Glintstone Bell Bearing like Sellen, is rather interesting!!
Fia being protected by Rancorcall(?) is also very cool. Is it really Godwyn, as she claims?
Nah unfortunately the NPCs don't seem to care if you join the volcano manor or the bloody fingers.
The rancour spell implies that unfortunately there's some conscious left in that body,my man godwyn got it the worst
09:53 thanks I hate it, the real heartbreak of this video - the guy forgives you before you even kill him
