There's a follow up to this video that corrects a few things and goes a little more in depth: ruclips.net/video/upTUCcz015k/видео.html And I have a video diving into the lore of Death's Door, Acid Nerve's next game: ruclips.net/video/Dhn2AvTMaag/видео.html
I was searching for an explanation video like this years ago, then only today I decided to listen to the avarice boss theme so I said, "gee I wonder if someone has finally done a lore video for this that game yet.". and sure enough you completed it just a week in time, any later and I wouldn't have given up for years again. Needless to say, good job.
I could have swore I saw a lore video years ago, but I can't find it at all. Maybe it was a fever dream, who knows? Also, it's worth mentioning that I got some things wrong, so keep an eye out for the correction video. Should be out by next week, assuming I don't get too distracted
Small addition: truth 's design and the whole all is truth is a full metal alchemist manga/ Brotherhood reference Truth is one of the names of God in full metal alchemist, that is described with the motto all is one, one is all. God is the universe, the world and you. Truth is also fought in a white void, much like how truth's realm in full metal alchemist is white
Looking forward to your video of Death's door, as it seems there are several pieces of lore directly linking those 2 games (ie the corrupted seed for example).
So all the bosses that show up in any way in DD from TS are: vinethesis (1st boss in DD), the yeti (Betty in DD), avarice, onyxia (as a skeleton in the camp of the free crows), Elhanan (Frog King has his armor on and arrowhead from one of Elhanan's arrows behind his boss arena), and Truth. I feel like the old crow's boss fight is definitely supposed to make you think of the Truth boss fight from TS- they're pretty similar in a lot of ways. Also, the black knight recurring mini boss; spell upgrade bosses; and guardian of the door are all more technologcially advanced golems. I love to nerd out and get super in depth when I find a game I like and your videos made that possible so I really can't thank you enough- definitely one of my favorite games now that I know the whole story
Just got 100% on DD and had no idea what the true ending was talking about at all and your videos explained it the best- I didn't even know it was a sequel before I clicked on your other video lol. Thanks for making it all so easy to understand, I really appreciate it! Btw Onyxia shows up in DD! Just as a skeleton tho in the camp of the free crows area where you slide around on the ice. I was wondering what was up with the huge skeleton and when you explained Onyxia in this video; I saw the ice circles and it clicked.
That's a great video, thank you for making it! One bit of critique would be that at a few points throughout, your voice gets drowned out by the music and your words become difficult to distinguish. Additionally, you could incorporate subtitles - both to make sure this issue does not come up again an also to make the video easier to digest. Regardless, I'm glad someone else did all the work for me and put up a lore video so I can just nod my head in agreement. Good work!
Great work, subscribed! I just beat the true ending of Deaths Door and having beaten Titan Souls I wanted a good analysis of both games. Very well done.
so how the titans work to my understanding is that they are built out of not living material and then a hole in their structure is filled with a soul created through some means,and then,they live,but things like golems might require more power to animate,explaining the multiple souls seen at a boss's death
Not necessarily. The golems were built, yes, but Yeti, Vinethesis, Obello, Elhanan, and maybe even Onyxia were all alive, they're just far more powerful because they were infused with souls. A Titan is a being with many souls, also known as a demonic being in Death's Door. Avarice is literally just a chest that was inhabited by soul, there was no intent there, nor any intentional "hole" to fill with soul. The arrow you use is even full of your own soul, so it's really just some object infused with too much soul. All Titans have a ton of souls, that's how they're Titans.
Yeah, I forgot to turn down the music for one part and I didn't notice until after I had uploaded. I'll try to make sure that doesn't happen next time!
Your right about the kabalistic aspect, the place where all souls or נשמה come from and go back to is called the כסא הכבוד (the name of gods throne) every נשמה is a piece of god (witch helps the truth creating the soul
3:30 um technically it changes from "truth" to "dead" not "death". Had to nitpick lol. great video so far tho and I came here to get ready for the death's door one.
I was going based off of "Golem" by David Wisniewski where they literally write a word that translates to "Truth" on the Golem's forehead, so I suppose it changes based on your source. Writing "Truth" fits better narratively, anyway
So,its all à story of god making people and their souls residing inside golems after their death,the Word soul probably being written on themselves,instead of truth.
I am, yeah, there's just a lot more to go through in Death's Door. I want a single super comprehensive video, so I'm slowly combing through the game, trying to get every little piece of dialogue. No ETA just yet, but it is being worked on.
Adam was the first being to die, so their will was imparted into the soul, as they fused with Truth at the end of the game. Or they forcibly fused with the soul like Truth. They then took the Elder's position and became the second god, tried to overthrow Truth, Truth reincarnated Adam or something similar because Adam couldn't die "I am you, you are I, if either lives, neither can die," so the soul that you fight at the end of the game isn't Adam per se, just a version of the soul that appears to be them because of how Adam ended up in their current situation. Also, it's worth mentioning that their name isn't necessarily Adam and they are intentionally not gendered in the games because they're supposed to act as a self-insert.
@@solarpellets Lemme get the info clear, so the first being to die just faced a bunch of souls fused? And who is exactly, the elder? Sorry but I didn't catch up a lot of the info you gave in the video, I apologize Edit: I have reseen the video and I now know who the elder is
Yeah, I'm working on it. There's so much more to Death's Door, and I want to make one comprehensive video, so I'm going through and trying to comb out all the dialogue so ai don't forget anything. It'll take a while, but It's coming.
I'm sorry, there's something I'm not understanding, excuse me if it was explained in the video. Why does the Titan Soul look like you and has a human body as part of it? Why does it use an arrow, same as you?
Because it is you. Adam was the Soul after their time as a mortal, another name for life, but Truth kicked him out and controlled the soul itself because Adam was planning a coup. The Soul retained the shape, and Adam retained a piece of the Soul, so they can control each other's arrows, because the arrows are controlled by soul.
2 Samuel 21:19 KJV And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. No Contradiction. This is what happens when you get doctrine from false Bible versions. Stick with the KJV.
I talked about this. Extensively. It says Elhanan slew the brother of Goliath, but it also says Elhanan slew Goliath. "The brother of" and the name of the supposed brother, Lahmi, is theorized by many scholars to have been added later on to address the contradiction. I don't remember if I mentioned it in the video, but the name is even close to the Hebrew name for Bethlemite, which is where the name probably came from.

holy crap this is amazing, was left confused by the ending of titan souls and death's door, and this perfectly explained everything I needed to know
Small addition: truth 's design and the whole all is truth is a full metal alchemist manga/ Brotherhood reference
Truth is one of the names of God in full metal alchemist, that is described with the motto all is one, one is all. God is the universe, the world and you.

It's too bad this work of love hasn't gotten much attention. At least a few thousand of us appreciate that this exists tho, thanks!
Looking forward to your video of Death's door, as it seems there are several pieces of lore directly linking those 2 games (ie the corrupted seed for example).
I recommend you get the true ending if you're interested in the lore. There is definitely more than what it wears on it's sleeve, though.
@@solarpellets Yes of course, but the secret ending didn't tell much for someone like me who didn't play a lot of Titan souls.
@@vonwoolf9963 ah, I suppose. I tried to explain everything as well as I could with this video, but I guess playing the game gives you more insight.
Thanks for this i cant believe there was no video for this until 2021

i see. that gives a huge glimpse into the death's door true end...
Just got 100% on DD and had no idea what the true ending was talking about at all and your videos explained it the best- I didn't even know it was a sequel before I clicked on your other video lol.

The price of the arrow is pretty simple. You literally split your soul in two and imbue half of it in the arrow. You paid half your soul.
Yeah, that's pretty obvious in hindsight, I don't know why I thought otherwise
Thanks for piecing this together!
Great and insightful video! Thank you for releasing this
I'd recommend watching my follow up. I correct some mistakes I made, and go a little more in depth with the murals, too. Thank you for the compliment!
That's a great video, thank you for making it!

when this guy becomes famous this video will feel kinda nostalgic
"when" not "if," huh? I appreciate the sentiment, lol. Keeping my hopes up.
This is probably the best video ive ever seen, bravo amigo B)
Brilliant, my dude. Subbed.
Thank you very much! I'm working on Death's Door now, but it might be a while.
Great work, subscribed! I just beat the true ending of Deaths Door and having beaten Titan Souls I wanted a good analysis of both games. Very well done.
I can't believe nobody talks about this game im gonna cry
Fantastic lore writeup, honestly! Fascinating to see this deep dive into this game's lore.
so how the titans work to my understanding is that they are built out of not living material and then a hole in their structure is filled with a soul created through some means,and then,they live,but things like golems might require more power to animate,explaining the multiple souls seen at a boss's death

dayum great video man gotcha a new subscriber really really amazing video
What a great video man! Love every single second of it!
Incredible explanation, my respects men
ngl this was good, Im surprised you dont have more subscribers
great vid thanks, on the next one me mindful of your audio mixing cuz its hard to hear you over the background sometimes
Yeah, I forgot to turn down the music for one part and I didn't notice until after I had uploaded. I'll try to make sure that doesn't happen next time!
Your right about the kabalistic aspect, the place where all souls or נשמה come from and go back to is called the כסא הכבוד (the name of gods throne) every נשמה is a piece of god (witch helps the truth creating the soul
Nice video bro!
Oh dude, that's me playing at the end
Yes
The truth boss also takes lots from FMA
I'd say that's where the idea came form
That's what I thought too
3:30 um technically it changes from "truth" to "dead" not "death". Had to nitpick lol. great video so far tho and I came here to get ready for the death's door one.
In judaism the golem was created by putting gods true name in its mouth that is what gave them life
I was going based off of "Golem" by David Wisniewski where they literally write a word that translates to "Truth" on the Golem's forehead, so I suppose it changes based on your source. Writing "Truth" fits better narratively, anyway
@@solarpellets ah ok ya I didn't know
So,its all à story of god making people and their souls residing inside golems after their death,the Word soul probably being written on themselves,instead of truth.
There's not literally a word written on them, but they're animated by Truth in that Truth gave them their soul
Ey men puedes subtitular este vídeo en Español así podre saber el Lore de este juegazo
No creo que pase bro, dijo que solo habla ingles
Ánimo practicalo y le vas a entender poco a poco >:)
Finaly someone did it
Amazing thank you
You gunna do a new part about this with the deaths door parts since it’s the future of this world?
I am, yeah, there's just a lot more to go through in Death's Door. I want a single super comprehensive video, so I'm slowly combing through the game, trying to get every little piece of dialogue. No ETA just yet, but it is being worked on.
@@solarpellets can’t wait to see especially since it’s it’s own world lore and not just related to and real world biblical stuff well mostly
Очень неудобно когда ты плохо знаешь английский, а единственный ролик с разбором Лора Titan souls - англоязычный
Well done sir.
nice job ^^
Thank you very much!
So if adam is the hero that fights titans, then, what is soul? Why does adam have to face himself and how?
Adam was the first being to die, so their will was imparted into the soul, as they fused with Truth at the end of the game. Or they forcibly fused with the soul like Truth. They then took the Elder's position and became the second god, tried to overthrow Truth, Truth reincarnated Adam or something similar because Adam couldn't die "I am you, you are I, if either lives, neither can die," so the soul that you fight at the end of the game isn't Adam per se, just a version of the soul that appears to be them because of how Adam ended up in their current situation.

Edit:

Dawgin
Will you ever do a deaths door theory?
Yeah, I'm working on it. There's so much more to Death's Door, and I want to make one comprehensive video, so I'm going through and trying to comb out all the dialogue so ai don't forget anything. It'll take a while, but It's coming.
@@solarpellets thank you
Cant wait for the next game tho
But it’s probably gonna take another 6 years seeing the trend acid nerve is going in

@@solarpellets Oh I see now, thanks for the explanation. The thing I didn't get was that Truth was controlling the Soul. Appreciated!!
