    Dark Souls is a dark fantasy action role-playing game series developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It began with the release of Dark Souls (2011) and has seen two sequels, Dark Souls II (2014) and Dark Souls III (2016). The series was created by Hidetaka Miyazaki and has received critical acclaim, with its high level of difficulty being among its most discussed aspects, while the first Dark Souls is often cited as one of the greatest games of all time. Other FromSoftware games, including Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, share several related concepts and led to the creation of the Soulslike subgenre. A remastered version of the game, titled Dark Souls: Remastered, was released in 2018.

    About the offline playthrough. I whould recommend to play From games online. Dark souls has this excellent sense of community, not only in the form online stuff but in the narrative as well: you are not alone, someone walked this path before you and will walk it after you and messeges, occasional phantoms and all that really add to this feeling

      You're right of course, but put yourself in that situation, not knowing what's coming up in the video, then you see footage from a major DS3 boss on screen, wouldn't you say something? It ended up being just short clips without any real lore spoilers, but any of those moments could've led to a whole section about DS3 for example.

    I don't think the Gold-Hemmed Set is exclusive to Quelana, rather it seems to be the garment of the Daughters of Chaos in general. There's another sister in Lost Izalith right before the Bed of Chaos fog wall, and she uses the same set as Quelana and the dead sister by Ceaseless. The Japanese description of the set is a bit more ambiguous while the English translation leads the player to believe the pieces of the set looted by them were worn by Quelana, instead of them being the attire of the Daughters of Chaos, one of which is Quelana. Given that the player first meets Quelana in Blighttown, and she wears the same clothes, to me it's clear that the body we loot the set from is one of the other sisters, not Quelana. And we probably encounter all 7 of them in the game, one way or another:
    1) Quelana;
    2) Quelaag;
    3) Fair Lady;
    4) Corpse by Ceaseless Discharge that we loot the Gold-Hemmed Set from;
    5) Unnamed DoC that attacks us before the Bed of Chaos fog wall;
    6 & 7) The two lumps on each side of the BoC. This isn't confirmed, but there's the hypothesis that those lumps you have to destroy in order to access the true body of the BoC were formerly two of her daughters.

    That lore video really was pretty good. I couldn't think of too much it was leaving out. One thing worth mentioning is that if you kill Ornstein last, you not only get to buy his armor, but he drops his ring (the Leo Ring). So that makes for one ring for each of Gwyn's Four Knights: Wolf Ring (Artorias, raises poise), Leo Ring (Ornstein, increases counter damage from thrust weapons), Hawk Ring (Gough, increases bow range), and Hornet Ring (Ciaran, increases damage from backstabs and ripostes).
    As for favorite area, I'm going with Undead Burg+Undead Parish, though Sen's Fortress really is way up there for me. Least favorite area is Tomb of the Giants, and it's not even close.

      One thing he missed. The namless kings betrayal happened long after the war concluded. And it was most likely not even gwyn himself who banished him. Gwyn had most likely already linked the flame at that point.
      Think about it. When the nameless king left, he left the sunlight miracle blade behind. Where did he leave it? Gwyns tomb in anor londo. Why would there be a tomb for gwyn if he was in the capital still ruling?
      He also had access to his fathers lightning power, that he ” inherited” implying gwyn gave it to his son when he left for the kiln.

      @@mattiasandersson8693 I disagree about Hawkshaw. A lot of his stuff is basically fan fiction. I watched some of his video about Havel and "the plot against the gods", and it was nuts. Like based on the fact that one of Havel's miracles is found in Ash Lake and there is an occult club in the same room as Havel's weapon and armor set in Anor Londo (even though it's separate from Havel's stuff and inside a mimic), he imagines Havel turned against Gwyn. And based on the description of the White Seance Ring being "entrusted to the head bishop of the Way of White" he has this whole story that Havel must be that head bishop (even though he's never described as the head bishop, only a bishop and a warrior, and actually, the bishop thing is a mistranslation in the first place, so Hawkshaw is just wrong, period) and must have had an affair with a maiden who was kidnapped by Seath. We do know from in-game lore that Havel hated Seath and magic, and we do know that Seath abducted maidens, but the rest of this stuff is speculation that Hawkshaw is way too confident about.

      @@estesdabestes340 Agreed. It has interesting characters, but not a very interesting world or lore. Especially when every new game seems to break the lore and contradict the game before it.
      Like in Oblivion, a man literally turns into a God. This is a MASSIVE Event. Your average normal every day mortal being can ascend into becoming a GOD. But NO ONE CARES. It's glossed over HEAVILY in Skyrim, there is no investigations, no experimentations, no nothing. It's an event that happens. And then the world moved on. It's like if Hitler killed all the Jews. And then the world moved on. No Genovo Convention, no Halocaust, no nothing. Just He did that, and then the world ignored it and moved on. See the stupidity of it?
      That is Elder scrolls. It has no lore. It rebuilds, rewrites, and reinvents it's lore with every new game, ignoring everything that happened before to build their own conflict and story for their own game only.
