The secret is that Maliketh has a crippling addiction to death-weed. As a public figure at the time, Maliketh needed to keep this highly illegal activity a secret, until one day the tarnished and crucible knights under Godfrey discovered Farum Azula, named after Malikeths favourite avatar character. Maliketh panicked, and to cover up his connection, shattered the place across the continent, summoned a tornado and a horde of dragons to finish the job. Unfortunately for him his DNA was found on a stray death dealer and he was exiled anyway. And that’s the deal with crumbling farum azula
Lansseax was a fight I enjoyed though. The fact that her fight abruptly stops and she leaves essentially only for me to find her elsewhere to actually get to fight her without her bailing on the fight was a neat idea..
Thank God, I really needed this. My cat is being put down later today and it's been really tough. Thanks for giving me a good laugh in a dark time, Dark Tark
The scariest goddamn moment in any souls game for me was realizing that there are Godwyn eyes EVERYWHERE in Farum Azula. Every goddamn root in the zone has those awful half-lidded fish eyes, always watching you...
I wonder if Godwyn's tumours being present in Farum can be explained by the timey-wimey shit... Or if there's any chance Farum Azula was still grounded at the time of Godwyn's Erdtree Burial?
@@hugostefaniu No. Just...no. This place is from" The time before the Erdtree" ,and it fell either before or because of Marika and Godfrey. Godwyn's death likely has something to do with death in general changing ( the Death Ritual Spear describing a " distant ressurection " the death priests were waiting for and such) ,but he came after the place fell. It's likely his effect goes beyond the Erdtree, in the same way the Sun and the Eclipse is somehow connected to his salvation and that of his fellow Soulless siblings. After all, the Beast skeletons bear the Sun Realm Shield.
Yeah, I like it tbh.... It's a crumbling city in the sky beyond time where you get to fight the creature who holds the power to restore death to the lands between... Nice 👌😏 Just very fitting to have that fight be there..
In my opinion, the creepiest thing about wormfaces is that their legs aren't positioned below their centre of mass, making all their animations look jarring and unnatural.
I find it pretty interesting how you took this video a lot more seriously than your previous Elden Ring videos. I am not against it in any way, in fact, I'd be very interested to see more videos like this.
Actually nvm upon rewatch u are correct but the jokes in this one are more unhinged there’s just a lot less of them like that joke about eating humans caught me insanely off guard and had me dying
Crumbling Farum Azula may once have been located on the ground in Dragonbarrow. There's a bridge there called Farum Greatbridge. Also there's the Bestial Sanctum which is clearly connected to the beastmen and contains Maliketh, who is later found in Farum Azula. Also it's called Dragonbarrow and it's where the most dragons are outside of Farum Azula.
I think another strong connection between CFA and Stormveil castle is the reappearance of both the knights and the birds in both places. Admittedly, the knights and the birds also show up in castle sol, so maybe they just like castles

Just wanted to say I just found your channel and I’m obsessed with your Elden Ring videos. The mix of comedy and actual serious lore is great and I genuinely think your channel will be big one day. Keep it up!
For those who are curious about that dragon guy in a suit. He says "Good day, can I ask for 4 PLN? Thank you" in polish I don't understand that joke either, by the way
I’m from the future. Yea it was bale the dreaded who tore off two of plasidusaxes heads. I know that’s kinda obvious for the one who played the DLC but I’m gonna point it out anyways
The draconic tree sentinel used his triple-hit lighting attack through the fog wall and it knocked me off the edge of the arena in my first playthrough.
This dudes editing is amazing please keep up quality content like this. I don’t think I’ve laughed at just editing alone. Jokes are spot on to. Much love bro 🙏
Many of the Limgrave ruins have a crafting material on them called ruin fragments. The description says that these are believed to be fragments of a temple in the sky. So it's kind of obvious on a second playthrough.
CFA used to be part of the main continent, with the Wormfaces from Altus lining up with the ones from Azula. The architecture of the place you feed death roots to the Beast Clergyman is that of Azula, suggesting it was connecting Altus to Caelid and even Limgrave.
4:45 that comes in the same boxes my vanilla simple syrup I put in my Dr. Peppers came in and I was like " THAT'S WHERE IT KEEPS GOING! " for a moment.
Crumbling Farum Azula is a pretty accurate representation of Kansas. Filled to the brim with tornadoes and stray dogs
And also crumbling infrastructure
We're not in Kansas, anymore...
And also dragons
😮💨 and birds....
Dorothy is that you?

Truly a prepare to cry :(
That's canon, it's in the lore.
Vaatividya got to make a video on this
Placidusaax uses lightning, Azula uses lightning. CONNECTION?!!
Dude *finally* it makes sense, thanks for laying it all out like that I was totally lost
Maliketh still has not returned his neighbour's lawn mower -.-"
The ancient Polish dragon asking for 4 PLN got me good xDDD
Me too, holy shit😂
Panie, daj panie złotówkę proszę
Jin dobre 😂
It's too good
POLSKA!!! NUMERO UNO!
Never forget, that Vyke got with one of those dragons in this crumbling cookie. That's canon, it's in the lore.
and the dragon gave him her brother's lightning attack instead of her own. kinda weird if you ask me
He was a fucking bard
Lansseax was a fight I enjoyed though. The fact that her fight abruptly stops and she leaves essentially only for me to find her elsewhere to actually get to fight her without her bailing on the fight was a neat idea..
And possible divorced, so this should be added to the divorce tier list
This "What's the deal with" series is truly one of the Elden Ring walkthroughs on youtube.
Thank God, I really needed this. My cat is being put down later today and it's been really tough. Thanks for giving me a good laugh in a dark time, Dark Tark
stay strong brother
Dont be sad its over, be happy it happened
Cherish the memories brother
So sorry to hear that brother, I'm sure you've been a very loving friend to your cat. Stay strong ❤
f bro
Hope you're okay brother

Kurwa, the polish dragon had me dead, but the dragons actually are from Poland, it's canon, it's in the lore
Yeah, we had one uder a castle in some city, but turns out that some guy killed it few hundread years ago
Also Farum Azula does funny things to time that no one can explain. Truly one of the places beyond all time
Yeah, I like it tbh....
It's a crumbling city in the sky beyond time where you get to fight the creature who holds the power to restore death to the lands between...
Nice 👌😏
Just very fitting to have that fight be there..
Dark Tark is truly one of the content creators of all time
Hallelujah! Out of all the content creators who have ever existed, Dark Tark is, without a doubt, among them!
@@Victor.-.E he speaks the truth
I'd even go as far as to say he's one of the _most_ content creators of all time!
@@luigivercotti6410 controversial opinion
The Morrowind Restoration sound effect was unexpected but appreciated.
the cookie crumbles and farum azula rumbles by the sheer power of dark tark
We need more teardown videos since now you can play as Gordon Woo's daughter
I recorded a bunch of footage from that update awhile ago but I haven't gotten around to making it a video yet. Maybe one day.
@@DarkTark I shall wait for as long as it takes
Crumbling Farum Azula is truly one of the places of all time.
Also, gotta love the One Piece references
one of the places of literal all time, even beyond time
Crumbling Farum Azula is definetly a place it has a name it crumbles it's a place
The sudden polish dragon TOOK ME OUT SO HARD. It do be like that tho...

I nearly got heart attack when I heared polish on bus. Thanks
It's crumbling just like my marriage.
That's canon, it's in the lore
the polish at 1:50 took me off guard and by surprise
Crumbling farum azula is basically the cookie crumbling
I think another strong connection between CFA and Stormveil castle is the reappearance of both the knights and the birds in both places. Admittedly, the knights and the birds also show up in castle sol, so maybe they just like castles
or maybe they rushed the game a little at the end and kinda just copy and pasted mobs in places where they would most fit to flesh it out
Farum Azula, Sun Realm, Castle Sol, makes sense.

Literally started playing elden ring cuz of ur channel and just arrived at this area, the timing us incredible
Getting slapped dozens of times by a comedic duo is indeed, my biggest prepare to cry moment
i miss "that's cannon, it's in the lore" quote this time around :(
This shows how much the cookie crumbled in farum azula, thank you so much for the enlightenment dark tark
I never expected to be asked for 4 złoty by an ancient dragon.
Finally another video!
Love your sarcastic dry humour
Just wanted to say I just found your channel and I’m obsessed with your Elden Ring videos. The mix of comedy and actual serious lore is great and I genuinely think your channel will be big one day. Keep it up!
I literally had your humor pop into my head randomly yesterday. I was craving so I was rewatching all of your elden ring videos. What perfect timing!
For me, Goldfrey has officially and forever been renamed "Morgott's piss ghost"
Your theory with the Wormface is probably correct, considering that part of Altus is above Deeproot depths, and Goldwyn’s rotting body
Either these videos are becoming gradually more hinged, or I've gotten immersion-therapy style used to it
Your videos bring some much needed levity to the stress that is Elden Ring.
GODDAMN I did not notice that pieces of the farum we're in limgrave. That is a crazy cool detail with some nice lore implications
The Polish Dragon bit killed me instantly. Blessed be the Darkest of Tarks 🙏
"And one of Placidusax's heads was cut off in the process"
Bayle: There's two, actually
I subscribed to this channel, and it did look great on my resume, because I was hired by a law firm who tracks down people who commit tax evasion
For those who are curious about that dragon guy in a suit. He says "Good day, can I ask for 4 PLN? Thank you" in polish
I don't understand that joke either, by the way
You won't buy any good cheap alcohol for that in Poland anyway.
I LOVED THIS!! YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR IS GREAT!!!!!!!! HILARIOUS MAN!!!! subbed!!!
That ball pit... Dark Tark, surely you weren't there at... oh I shan't say it
Fun fact In the dlc Bayle ( the dragon ) has one of plasidisaxx’s heads on its back , so somehow the dragons could travel between the two worlds(?)
I’m from the future. Yea it was bale the dreaded who tore off two of plasidusaxes heads. I know that’s kinda obvious for the one who played the DLC but I’m gonna point it out anyways
0:35 “Fortunately, you’ve had some weird horse girl stalking you throughout your journey, so you can just use her.”
thank you for your contribution to my cv
I don’t think I’ve been this happy since I see a RUclips video I wasn’t expecting in years
The draconic tree sentinel used his triple-hit lighting attack through the fog wall and it knocked me off the edge of the arena in my first playthrough.
My first attempt.
Holy shit, I never made the connection between the rubble in Kim grave being from Farum Azula
Limgrave *
Dragon asking for 4 PLN caught me off guard.
yo this is a good one man, I think you got some great lore theories
i didnt realize that the godskin duo had managed to eat the gum-gum devil fruit. this insight is why i come to the dark tark channel
I love gis commentary, his voice is relaxing when he's talking and hilarious when he makes a joke.
This dudes editing is amazing please keep up quality content like this. I don’t think I’ve laughed at just editing alone. Jokes are spot on to. Much love bro 🙏
Love your video. A good mix between personal experience/gameplay, lore, and humor. Please keep 'em coming
LETSSSS GOOO
Ive been waiting for this one
I love you so much Dark Tark !!!! Excellent video loved it continue pleeeeeaaase
A dark tark upload day is a good day
6:18 Absolutely - yes. Miyazaki has a sense of humor
Watching this for the thumbnail alone.
I can’t wait for the dlc to come out so we can be blessed with more Lord Tark funny bits. Truly a video of all time
The drake goon joke aged very well
This is my favourite series on RUclips now. I literally recommended you to a Starbucks employee today and was only slightly embarrassed.
Bro your videos are top tier I hope your channel grows bigger
Yo Tark you should totally give Silent Hill 2 a story recap in your "kind of right but completely wrong" style, I think it would be excellent.
good news, i already did
@@DarkTark really? I didn't see that. Is it early on your channel???
Never mind, I just found it. Thanks! I love your stuff!
what’s crazy is actually how much i learn about elden ring from these videos
blorpse after blorpse left in my wake, as i awaited dark's return
that ratm song while you said "in the self immolation way " was pretty clever
Dark Tark is the only man who I would wake up at 6 AM for
Cant Wait for the next video
"What's the deal with Ancient Dragons"
Me rewatching all of Mr. Tark’s videos over and over again
What if the Wormfaces are reanimated Beastmen, and the forest in Altus is an ancient unmarked Beastman burial site
You know I never noticed that those stone pieces in Limgrave are of the same structure from the Crumbling Cookie. Thanks for pointing that out🙏
Many of the Limgrave ruins have a crafting material on them called ruin fragments. The description says that these are believed to be fragments of a temple in the sky. So it's kind of obvious on a second playthrough.
Good to see you again Dark Tark!
Maliketh still hasn't returned your lawnmower. This is canon, it's in the video's description.
Thank you, Darkest of Tarks, for another blessed video.

Wake up babe, new Dark Tark video just dropped
Faram Azula is just an Amazon warehouse
this is going to be a masterpiece
Vatti uploads? Than dark tark? It’s like Christmas morning
Deadbolt music is very appreciated, Chris Christodoulou is a legend
Don't mind me. Just an old geezer who will probably never play any of the DS games, but I still watch the vids from Mr. Tark 'cause they're great!
This is my new favorite lore dump video
I died more times to the tree sentinel than I did to maliketh lmao
New Dark stark video, can’t wait to watch this video only for 2 weeks
WHO UP RUBBING THEIR BONE SHARD RN?
The Polish dragon had me confused
Bro, I know it's going to be a banger when the thumbnail alone makes me laugh
The cookie IS WHAT!?
I am once again asking for a video about Fear and Hunger 1 and 2. Please I need your dry humor alongside a game that is about pain and suffering.
honey, wake up. A new Dark Tark video
3:08-3:10 is what made me subscribe with the MGS bit there
didnt expect polish dragon to ask me for 4 złote but fair enough
Favourite channel ever
Haven't laughed so hard since what's the deal with melania
Praise the lord, Dark Tank has uploaded
Regarding the wormfaces, someone had a theory thay they were probably bodies buried and got affected by Godwyn’s deathblight
4:45 that comes in the same boxes my vanilla simple syrup I put in my Dr. Peppers came in and I was like " THAT'S WHERE IT KEEPS GOING! " for a moment.
New Dark Tark upload, certified epic gaming time
You've become my favorite youtuber.
