BONUS COMMENT LORE: There is a Battle Mage on a nearby precipice, and he gazes at the women as they dance in the village. In a nearby village, celebrants have been murdered, and other mages stand over them. Is there a rivalry going on here? @Quelaag will make a video soon going into more detail :)
Listen. @VaatiVidya. I would pay 20$ for more of these
Personally I think they’re just clearing out the Celebrants, they don’t seem that friendly after all.
Some next level of fucked up shit...
I encountered this and was totally amazed and scared at same time... especially qhen I beat the boss at the top I diddnt know thy were into skinning.. I knew it was so sinister
Why is this so similar to that midsomar movie? Maybe that movie was based on similar lore that inspired this area or is it like an Easter egg?
"These dances are a massive salty middle finger to Marika."
😂😂😂😂
Pretty much it
Yeah.
Salty Finger but hole??
They deserve it tbh
“There’s something terribly wrong here, the women here dance heedlessly-“
*disregards facial necrosis*
And the maniacal laughter.
I mean it's fromsoft, having normal human skin makes you a pariah or an exception at the least in these games
Right? First thought to cross my mind. 😅😆
@@neptune1873 from that standpoint, everything about them is casual too? No? Case rested lol
Also the bl00d on the hems of their skirts
Which means they either dance on their victims OR they dance until their feet bleed
They hitting the griddy out of pure disrespect for the witch.
Damn
Y'know, he's got a point. LMAO
Found the winning comment
Oh my days, she hit the griddy on their graves.
sturdy fr
They likely also have Kuru Disease, also known as the "laughing sickness", transmitted by cannibalism.
Transmitted by eating brains, do add the movie midsommar praising to a psychotic borderline transhuman apostle
Feels as something out of the berserk manga with unique panels
@@a.r.h9919I thought they were just really high in Midsommar
@@a.r.h9919 I don't think there's cannibalism in Midsommar, just human sacrifices. The victims were all offering to the Gods, the people don't eat them, just stuffed them 😂
誠實豆沙包？
Oh I simply thought it was leprosy and this was a biblical story
The key definition of "I dance on the grave of my enemies"
The equivalent of elimating your enemies in games and tea bagging them
🤣🤣🤣
Okay it took my like x3 replays but I get it. They used to do the skinning and now they’re being skinned on
Emperor Emhyr?
"It traps the souls of its victims"
Miyazaki saw Midsommar and thought “I want that in my game” 😂
Fr that movie is fckd🤣
That's EXACTLY what that village plays back to. Miyazaki really DID see midsommer and thought it would be a nice touch. Lol
For real 😂
Basically, but I’m glad he took inspiration from it. This is probably my favorite area in the game.
Those dancing broads were so creepy. Especially the fact that they were not hostile when you were right next to them. That was the worst pa
This fucking town freaked me out in my 1st playthrough. Like hell, that laughter...
Man a year ago I saw this short about elden ring and it caught my interest, and because of this short I played this amazing game and had the time of my life with it, I don’t know how to express how grateful I am, I just want to say thank you.
Yeah Vaati is great at cultivating interest for the games he covers. Glad you had that experience
This is the same exact thing that happened to me
I saw one of sekiro by some Korean channel I think and it got me into playing sekiro and then buying elden ring like 2 weeks ago
same, I just started out this December. I remember telling my brother about this game rich of lore and fun, now I still haven't reach this area. I've only just beaten the lucaria mage
@@thankyouverymochi I would highly recommend playing the dark souls trilogy and bloodborne after finishing elden ring because my god they are amazing, I immediately started playing the soulsborne games after finishing elden ring
Sometimes this lore just seems like an advanced version of an "Am I The Asshole" post.
Think just elden ring itself is "am I the asshole?"
It's describe every game from from the developer itself 😂.
Pretty sure all dark souls games are that as well
“AITA for getting high on hallucinogenic flowers and skinning my husband?”
@@KonRoge11 "I (30F) have been skinning ny husband since his dead"
Imagine you were lost somewhere and ended up at their location.
That was my experience. I was trippin hearing the laughter and dancing. I really thought they would be friendly at first.
I did
@@redditquest u alive bro?
Better start dancing like a white woman at a house party
Those mfs gonna have the hardest choreographal beatdown the second I hit the flo
i need their dance as a gesture 😭
I'd Pay for that dance 💀
@@MathewHargreavesfromsoft reads this and starts doing microtransactions because of YOU
Man I looked for that sooo hard when the game first released 🤣
These ladies actually freaked me out when I first encountered them lol😅😅😅 There's just something about how they are so carefree at first but then suddenly turn on you at the drop of a hat lol.
When i first seen it I was actually creeped out cuz it reminded me of the way witches would dance around a pit of fire back in the Harlem times and I recently rewatched the VVitch movie
@@strayydray9242 Oh yeah that movie was freaky AF lol
@@xavierabii548 agreed 🤝 😊
I especially liked how my barbarian skin glistened with their blood as i stood in the sunset looking at the sea
These shorts are something I never knew I wanted until now
I think you speak for all of us here my guy
Agreed
Very short burst of amazing content 💯
Finally some quality shorts between a crypto vid and an Andrew Tate one
Yesssss
These ladies were a welcome sight the first time I saw them. They don’t attack you, they dance, and they sing. After hours of getting attacked by anything and everything, entering their village was a breath of fresh air. Also, does anyone think they were inspired by France’s dancing plague?
I literally was thinking about the dancing plague when watching 😂 at least I know I wasn't the only one who thought that
Except they do attack you once you go further up the hill. So it's all a ploy to lure you in lol.
@@joshwilliams2105 but even then only some of them do. Not all from what I remember
@jacthing1 all the ones in that area do and if the others see you fighting them they jump in to lol.
@@joshwilliams2105 yeah. Cue you having a angry mob on your hands
Can’t help but think that there was some Midsommar influence here.
Definetly although why is Swedish culture always portrayed as scary?
@@LaloSillymanca Probably due to the Pagan roots there.
@@AsAugustSleepspaganism isn’t scary
@@AsAugustSleepsYou're acting like Christians weren't scary with their crusades, inquisitions, and witch hunts.
I just started the game for the first time and found them yesterday.
I thought the exact same thing.
Suddenly I don't feel too bad about being maidenless
When my son came across them, he was like "I wonder what will happen if I hit one." He was dead in less than 5 seconds.
I think that was a lesson your son needed to learn
Wait this is a video game???
@@astrabula329Elden Ring
@@astrabula329 I’m a little disturbed to find out what you thought this was if it was not a video game?
@@oppa1319 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 hey now a days u never know!! So many satanic devil worshiping groups out there! 😭😭
Dominula is honestly one of my favourite parts of the game, and so is the Apostle fight there. The village just has such a great "feel" and "atmosphere" to it. The lore is also great. Thanks for giving it some love, Vaati!
That village is so cursed, I love it.
Very midsummer essqe
Me too dude. I was laughing so hard when i found them and spent a good 15min doing emotes with them.
@@Kris-wo4pj fax. Loved that movie.
@@Kris-wo4pjwatched that movie really close to ER's release, so when I got to this village I immediately made the connection. No way it isn't intentional
"But there's something deeply wrong here"! Because rest of the ER world is so normal! 😂
I really wish we could get that dance as an emote and dance with them :(
Experimenting with a new format. Please share your honest feedback!
Love it actually, if it can brings more attention to your special and well-crafted long formats, I say yes.
I really like those small format videos. Quick and very informative.
I very much dislike RUclips shorts. Your content especially, is fantastically suited for long form content.
shorts have no swag
It's amazeballs
"there's something deeply wrong here" can be said about every single thing in every soulsborne game
Especially for Bloodborne monsters and stuff lol
@jordanicaly1393 the most wrong thing about Bloodborne is that it takes place in Britain
@@Aurelius1239 What really
@@jordanicaly1393 yeah 🤢
Except for Snuggly the Crow. There is something deeply wholesome with that bird.
i remember reading an item that said they danced in the hopes to lure in nobles to skin, considering their eyes are red, I doubt they are in their right minds anyway
If yall wondering what the song is, it is "Haumea" by Lennon Hutton
this is great. literally no boss had more of a menacing presence to me than that one skinny godskin at the top of the hill; peacefully coming over the horizon and that epic godskin music swelling.
ill never forget the first time experiencing it
Oh lol, I ended up behind him when I first saw him. Was a bit more underwhelming.
The Godskin Apostles are literally the only good boss fights in Elden Ring imo. They're the only bosses that have the right mixture of being hard but not cheap. Considering how broken all the "hard" bosses are, like Melania and her model that hides whats shes doing, the Godskin Apostle is so refreshing a very slim taste of what Elden Ring had the potential to be.
Reminded me of Kos or some say kosm from Bloodborne
@@TedTeddison99 @Hi, I exsist. Sounds like a situation of Git Gud. Malenia is the only boss that MIGHT require some research to defeat, plenty of people do it without help though. Even then I can still identify what malenia is doing at all times.
Also, some bosses are designed to hide an attack within smoke or debris effects that they make themselves. Literal game design. Maybe try practicing more and you'll find less bosses cheap in ER ;)
@@TedTeddison99 I agree Elden ring bosses were kind of lacking, but I wanna add Mohg as a fantastic boss as well. Great atmosphere fair moveset and just the perfect amount of gimmicky bullshit to make a memorable boss.
THE EFFIGIES IN THE VILLAGE IS SHAPED LIKE DESTINED DEATH
When you go to a weird Scandinavian festival with your friends.
This village was creepy... also if you go up to them and do the gesture 'clicking your fingers' they instantly turn hostile. Pretty cool detail
What? Thats interesting. Maybe theyre in some kind of stasis and that clicking relieves them.
@@Crestfallen_Warrior It's because they are programmed to be hostile (like well everything in the Lands Between) but they are initially set to dance (and therefore ignore you) until you catch their attention (usually by attacking them).
Some gestures, like clicking, are designed to attract attention and interrupt NPCs current actions, that causes them to turn hostile.
@@tomasbriceno2319 loud noises like breaking boxes can also interrupt them
Me: I’ll just watch one more short before bed, it’ll be fine.
The short:
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro it's not scary
The captions saying "rituals performed on *America's* own citizens" instead of "Marika's" had me worried for a second there 😂
I mean this kinda stuff happens to American journalists plenty of places
@@1stCallipostle I doupt that
The background music made this so much creepier in the best way great job ❤
Do you know the name of the music? Asking the creator might be a bit optimistic. There are 3000 comments though
@@dummekommentarefullhdvonka2359Did you find out?
@@frasina3401it’s “haumea” by lennon Hutton
I'm not gonna lie at the start I thought this was a real life thing and was like wtf that's hella interesting and creepy lmao
So this is just a fiction?
@@kageyama-kun1744 it's elden ring bruv
this is a real life thing. There was multiple occurrences in human history where a group of people would become obsessed with non stop dancing. They would dance until they dropped and died
@@DanteWolfwoodFrance is an example
@@DanteWolfwood some people say that the dance of death during the black death happened because the ergoth psychedelic thing
They getting sturdy I didn't know they was chill like that
lmao cc "They lost a war to Queen America and her golden order"
That "You might be celebrating too...." Hit different
More of these please, be a very welcome addition!!! Nice to get little tidbits of lore like this that may not fit thematically into other videos. Plus, it would be nice to get a little Vaati fix in the wait between the longer videos! 😂
Masterpiece
this whole village is so eerie. when you take the main road down, you end up in the woods, hearing the wormmonsters (forgot the name) before seeing them. this really has "the village" vibes.
also, i like this format.
Those are just some of the cult members from Midsommar 😂
Imagine, the reality of all of the women only attacking… on the cue of the one random dog, who royally screws you over
Your voice shall be forever tied to my image of souls games.
"you might be celebrating too" Gave me chills lol
right? his voice is a whole other league...
Wait I don't get it
@@silverwind9906 same
I am celebrating. Marika and most of other demigods deserve this.
This bit feels like the setting of a movie by the people who made midsommer
Love these as shorts! Sometimes I'd prefer to watch these snippets if I'm on a tight schedule.
Same. I rarely have time to watch a 15 to 20 minute video but I don't want to miss any lore either.
“Ha ha! Look at us having such a good time when you’re not!”
I never cease to be amazed at the depth of the environmental storytelling in this game. This one little town, that has basically nothing in it but some weak enemies, a few loots, and a boss fight, has this entire story going on that doesnt get even get a single word spoken about it, and yet, it's all laid out perfectly. Absolutely incredible
I love gatecrashing their little party with wave of gold 🥰🥰🥰
'There's something deeply wrong here.'
Yes, they're in a Miyazaki game.
This is what a nice short feels like. It's actually short, concise, nicely narrated and about a peculiar and interesting subject.
Shades of the _Danse Macabre._ In art, the motif was used to emphasize how those from all walks of life are unified in death, both rich and poor. As a cult devoted to the destruction of nobles and demigods, the Godskinners have the feeling of a long-repressed peasant uprising finally free to wreck bloody vengeance on Marika's society.
I feel like the rune giving effect from their weapons has some lore significance
I love these lore short videos. Hopefully you make them public soon
Ok.... After watching this. I'm going back here to stop them dancing forever
Totally captivating.
Get their sickle. Best DEX-scaling dagger.
@@BerylLx thanks
So we had the same idea 🤣
also not a bad mid game farming area lol
This is why i get a bone chilling fear down my spine whenever i hear that goddamn laughing
They getting sturdy on there dead opps
Nothing felt more out of place than this area, so damn creepy they just kept dancing as I strolled right by
Not saying I would want to but was it possible to attack them or interact with them in some way?
@@tybolee1279if you attack then they will all attack you I believe, I would imagine so they can use you for the ritual
@@tybolee1279 yes you can
@@youvegotmail6297 oh okay thanks
@@TheStrongestFemboy oh that's cool you can interact
I'm quite impressed with the short. I'm sure it's hard to find enough about these smaller details to do a typical full length video, they're still interesting and worthy of notice though so it's nice to go on a mini deep-dive.
They be tweakin be killin me wit dat jig 😂😂
And here i thought they where just some wholesome babes chilling on a field forgot this was elden ring
I thought this was based off the dancing fever back in the med evil ages mass hysteria caused people to dance till they died.
Actually a lot of people are saying it's based off the Midsommar movie so I think the cult element makes more sense with that context lmao
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 how about both?
@@neardarkroad1347 ... I like this better
How wrong you were lol
i rmb hearing them laughing from afar and this place really reminded me of hemwick charnel lane
They’re for sure the creepiest thing I’ve seen in the game
Nothing my faith build can't fix
As someone who doesn’t have much free time these days id really appreciate more of these shorts. Also loved the eerie music. Keep ‘em coming!
man, miyazaki knows how to create a freak show
miyazaki is sadomasochist lol
Dominula is just the New York of elden ring, just a bunch of people getting sturdy
I recall when I first found this village. I evicted its residents with extreme prejudice. Was kinda a nice place after that. Didn't bother looking for answers to the questions I had cause they freaked me out.
Until they respawn at the nearest sight of grace lol
That's equivalent to killing yo enemies and then tea bagging them ...
They was getting sturdy fr fr
😂😂
ngl, when I first saw those dancing women I got creeped out that I didn't bother exploring that village on my first playthrough
Cool…
The DLC now connects the Godskins to the Hornsent, since the Celebrants seem to use similar tactics on their victims. One using a one take while the other using a whip of teeth
this is the most quality short I've seen in the year I've been watching them
Out of everything in elden ring, this village is like the only thing that gave me the creeps.
Dude hella creeppy had the same reaction
I found the village more creepy then the underground tombs and monster infested sewers.
Reminds me a ton of Darkwood
You’d love the movie Midsommar
@@Sahbab11 omg it does kinda look like this so weird
I like how us (the tarnished) isn’t on any side and just beats everyone.
creepier than i thought while playing
This game has so much hidden depth its a labyrinth of a masterpiece
I never knew I needed Vaati lore shorts until now. This is awesome!
Murika
They are actually a pretty good farming spot at that point of the game. Each cycle takes like a minute and give 3k+ runes.
When first arriving there I thought "is this at least a friendly place ?" It is NOT 😂
I'm definitely celebrating, thanks.
These shorts are not overwhelming or underwhelming either. Their great short vids with awesome and easy to understand information. Thx for the info and hope you make more of these!
ngl they getting sturdy 😮💨
I fuck wit them, i don't attack them, they don't attack me and i get a brief respite
they all getting sturdy on them corpses
When I first went to the place where they celebrate I didn't saw their face and thought they were friendly. When they turned I was scared af
I actually thought this was inspired on an urban horror story of an old woman dancing on streets and when you are seen you'll be chased and killed by her.
this was definitely the most unsettling place in the game for me, just a settlement of cannibals that could likely be easily taken care of by the city but they just remain there doing their own weird thing. I remember trying to search around the place for some kind of answer to it (and i never bothered to look deeply into any other places on the map) it was just really interesting to me
Excellent!! Now i demand a 1 hour video explaining the details of this short.
I'd love Miyazaki to make these lores more explicit because they are awesome.
My confessor when saw that he was like "That Godskin must be eliminated" and done it 1st try
I love your long form content and am desperate for more of it, thanks for everything. P.S. is anyone else scared to open their soul arts up without it being special occasion lmao
No. It's special everytime 😎
I'm actually more scared to open my Future Press strategy guide lol.
Okay what are soul arts and future press I'm new to elden ring
@@josephmurphy417 Soul Arts was a Kickstarter Vaati held where he put a lot of the fan art from his contests into one huge beautiful book. And Future Press is a company that issues very in depth well done strategy guides for video games.
Oh my god these shorts are perfect, I’ve always wanted to know more about Elden Ring lore. Your voice is perfect for telling stories!
First time i passed there i was like:
"Yo why are they hitting the griddy so hard, whats going on up in here?"
Most of them didn't attack me, so I left them alone after killing their leader. With the godskin apostle gone, maybe I can recover this village as Elden lord.
my soul nearly left me after I hit one of them an all of their eyes went red. You'd think that after nothing but enemies, finally here's a moment of peace, but no. Can't have peace in the lands between
im 100% down for more lore shorts
By far my favorite location in the game. Creeped me the fuck out.
this vid while on acid hits different
Love your lore videos. They really help me feel immersed in the game.
