Capra Demon is so powerful that he knocked me out of Dark Souls 1 and sent me to 2. He trained me enough to go full Shura onto the Pursuer whenever he appeared

Honestly the story of the witches if izalith breaks my heart the most, especially quelagg protecting her sister who had sacrificed her well-being to relieve the inhabitants of blight town from their pain
And discharge protecting what he has left of his sister not knowing she was still alive, story is rlly saddening, I remember approaching them for the first time, having the witch's ring from the start and everything I was like 😢😢
and that is why i have given the sister more than 60 humanities to make up how i killer her sister. to this date, the sister's covenant is the one i max out devotion to every single playthru

@@legobatmanthevideogame3194 weirdo! i get u tho, the overall world design, even though absolutely broken and not as well connected as ds1, more like tue graphical design of the levels, is insane. best of the series def. thats about it :D
@@legobatmanthevideogame3194 Depends on what you're looking at, though. Hitboxes? DS1. AI? DS1. World Building? DS1. Rolling and actual gameplay mechanics? DS1. Graphics? DS1. Fluidity? DS1. Actual boss quality? DS1. Other than a few DS2 bosses, overall DS1 overshadows it in nearly every single way, and that's not even including the terrible movement in DS2.
I know I could make a joke about the "prepare to cry" series, but i can't lie. Hearing about the connection you and Sif would have if you fought Manus with him, and killed Artorias before going to his boss fight, literally made me tear up. Sif wanting to protect you, a hero, who ended his old master's suffering, and helped him stop the spread of the abyss. The fact that he howls in grief, knowing full well that he will have to kill you, or fail, leaving you to potentially succumb to the abyss, is just heartbreaking.
I actually cried at the end when all the characters were saying their goodbye's. I also will give apart of myself to this world to live in it, if only for a brief moment. i really appreciate the content guys.
This is by far the most relaxing narration I’ve heard in a while, I was having a panic attack that kept my up well into 1AM, but I found this video and was able to fall asleep in 20 minutes. As a dark souls fan I love how detailed everything is described, and I’m going to come back to this video when I need relaxation. Take this sub 🤲🏻
@@Diablopraybruh this is real af. I can’t smoke pot, cuz every time I have, I had a panic attack. Even when I knew it was just a panic attack n I was fine, n I wasn’t afraid/scared of it while it was happening, I _still_ felt all the “physical” symptoms. Skin vibrating, racing & looping thoughts, body temperature felt like I was in ice, heart pounding, etc lol.
@@MisterK-YT just have a panic disorder and often panic from nothing. I use to smoke but I can’t for the same reason you explained in your other comment
This is what I had always wanted, a beautifully narrated movie depicting almost if not all the important parts of the story of Dark Souls including the gameplay and user actions necessary to know some of the more well-hidden lore. Commendable work, enjoyed it to the fullest.
3 days ago I searched “bloodborne story” and you guys popped up. I loved it so much and was like damn I wonder if these guys will do a dark souls story. Then today happened! Thank you!
@@Thebrotherscode Incredible timing. I watched the first have today and I’m finishing up the second half when I open my shop tomorrow. And I’ll be rewatching!
I never knew how powerful and deep the story and lore of this game was until now. I now have a strong appreciation for this game that I never knew I would gain. Very well done.
I thought this video was going to cover the entire trilogy. Very impressive how much lore you were able to obtain for the story of the first game. Looking forward to your video on 2!
What a great video! Souls is a franchise that really lends itself to these kinds of videos. And you made the most complete, least contradictory video on DS1 I've seen thus far. I REALLY liked how you included all the side characters' stories and that you make it absolutely clear when you enter the territory of speculation. I hope you do the entire trilogy like this because DS2 is the one game I've never played and I absolutely did NOT understand DS3.
Man, even after all these years. All these playthroughs, hearing the story of Artorias, Sif, and the player always breaks my heart. And hearing that pained howl and seeing the recognition in Sifs eyes, knowing what's about to have to happen...it still brings tears to my eyes. I dont know about anyone else, but the first time I encountered this, I actually got so upset that I put my controller down and just accepted defeat. Sif is the best boy. Only trying to do the best for his previous master and current friend. He will never be forgotten. ❤️
Man, having seen at least 8 videos explaining the story of Dark Souls, I can honestly say that yours has the best narrative, audio and overall dedication. I'm truly grateful to have found this. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY VIDEO.
Just wanna say the way you put together the video was amazing, it was like a movie with a great narration. You took a massive story and pieced it together amazingly. Thank you for all your effort
Brother’s Code has completely changed my perspective on Dark Souls as a whole. This video is a beautiful piece of content that I will never grow tired of and will constantly lead me to question my actions in the various games in the Dark Souls series. Thank you, Brother’s Code and patches is right you can’t trust clerics lol
I always felt that the Dragons were everlasting due to their scales, the scales allowed them to be immortal and that's why Seath the Scaleless was so jealous and full of hatred toward the other dragons; and why he would become a traitor against them; because unlike his ilk he was scaleless and thus mortal. Also why he was so interested in crystal magics, so he could make artificial scales out of crystals to become immortal or at the least extend his life.
You're right- others have pointed out that in the opening cutscene, Seath is shown holding a dragon scale that crumbles as he lets out a cry of anguish, which implies his whole goal in siding with Gwyn was to achieve immortality like the other dragons
@@NuevoExistence What are you talking about? There are no "crystals of immortality" in dark souls. Seath did not _find_ anything, he created the crystal magic as well as various other magics.
After having seen every vaati upload ever, having finished the game over 15 times making sure to encounter every single npc as often as possible and doing a few 100% runs, you have still been able to absolutely amaze me with this video. A true labour of love. I saw nothing I didn't know but this was 2 hours of true craftsmanship and hard work - well done! I shall be watching your other soulsborne videos with glee!
A fellow vaat watcher, a man of culture I see. I have not watched every upload, not even close. I do hold his work in very high regard. Would you say this man here did his homework? No glaring misinterpretations? Would it hold vaat's approval would you think?
@@uncaged1180 he's probably the most well-known for how prolific he is but i wouldnt say he's the best. For surface level stuff he's fine but his theories can tend to be kind of nonsensical. I personally prefer Hawkshaw; although their theories in recent videos have also been wildly speculative unfortunately. Their timeline video, the one about demons, and the one about the Way of White are all really good though.
Yea these guys are really good. I think vaati has been off lately. For awhile actually. His elden ring content leaves a lot to be desired. He just seems like he wants to sell shirts and is resting on his laurels. Or he lost the passion. He takes forever now too.
I remember the first time I played Dark Souls. I spent 4 hours trying to clear out the skeletons in the cemetary, only to realise that maybe this wasn't the right place to be. A few hours later I was at the top of a curch and rang a bell. I had no ideea what was happening but I thought to myself "Man, this game is awesome and profound!". Ten years later, thanks to you, I understand the story.
my people, we have gathered here tonight to share in the glory of a soothing voice and excellent story telling. gotta have my nightly story, either this stuff or astro physics conference, I usually rotate. science, sci fi. fantasy, back to science rinse repeat and a sprinkle of spc or creepy pasta if they are good enough.
Wow man the story of Quelana and the fair lady.. it's so tragic.. i really felt that one. Rage.. rage against the dying of the light, the coming of darkness. What a masterpiece.
This is just a little nitpick, but the Stray Demon was actually at the Undead Asylum the whole time. You actually see it walking right at the beginning as you exit the cell. The Asylum Demon is in the upper part.
Dude, you guys pulled my heart strings really hard with the ending of the video. Everyone's Voice pleading the chosen to help, heros that fell to tragedy, people telling the Chosen to rest up and Solaire...damn, good job man.
1:01:55 Ornstein likely didn't die at archdragon peak, as his armour is merely lying around on the ground. Seeing as people go to archdragon peak in order to become dragons, and you fight a massive dragon right above where you find his armour, I think what likely happened was that Ornstein being far stronger than most men who try to become dragons, became the king of the storm.
Saying ehich dragon ornstein is is kinda impossible but I find him being dead unlikely and it more like he did throw his armor away as it isn't on a corpse or in a chest just laying on the ground
I legit shed a tear in the end. Dark Souls is phenomenal and so are you guys since you made such an amazing work. I loved your video on bloodborne dearly, this time you delivered the same top notch quality. Cant wait for bearer of the curse story. Much of love and respect from bottom of my heart.
Dark Souls lore is probably my most favorite storytelling then any of the other Souls-Borne games. When I usually can't sleep I put on a Lore video. I always find myself always coming back to this video of Dark Souls Lore. It's just so calming and tells the Lore very well. Thank you for helping me sleep.
That was unbeleivable. I have never seen anyone tell the story of Dark Souls like this. 10/10. 5 Stars. Magnificent. I felt the emotions behind all of the storylines. The gravity of every situation... The hardships and triumphs... Defeat and Victory... It was all so well told.
Dang I actually got emotional from this. This game was my favorite one of all time and i was so interested in it. I love miyazaki and all of his work. Beautiful yet somber and dark
That sister or doughter (couldn't keep track) of izalith has a tremble in her voice that's just heartbreaking. I love the story. Thank you for making the effort and telling it.
Absolutely fantastic. Never have I seen the whole story put so concisely. It filled several gaps in my knowledge as well. I never knew about the deeper stories of Izalith or the Daughters of Chaos. Thank you so much for making this
Loved this, I could even add up a ton of stuff here around this game as it's the one I spent the most time "lorehunting" back in the day. You're doing a MASSIVE favor to the whole community with this sort of content, keep it up.
This was absolutely amazing. Any other video on this topic was too convoluted and quickly changed from character to character, twisting and turning. This was told like a true story, a beginning, middle, and end. Amazing.
Gently guides through game events and brings light on everything, including the side characters. I got much more than expected. Well compiled video with good narration. Items and locations make so much sense to me now.
Even though I know the Souls lore like the back of my hand (I think) I gotta watch this because your Bloodborne lore video was AMAZING and I'm sure this will be no different.
I watched a lot of videos explaining the story of Dark Souls but so far this is the most complete and detailed of all. What an amazing work, keep up this great quality.
Every time I finish a game, the FIRST thing I do is check your channel to see if you covered it. Your story telling skills are 10/10 and you obviously put so much prep, research, editing and love into these videos. I can never just watch them one time either. Thank you for your hard work ❤
I am out of words. This is simply amazing and it gave me so many goosebumps at certain points. Thank you so so so much for this, I will recommend it to all of my Dark Souls friends!
We're lucky to have played a game in a time where this video exists. They actually said they plan to do the trilogy! Dark Souls 2's video is out actually. Have you played any other Souls games? and what are you playing now? Just curious :)
I’ve watched plentiful videos on DS lore, but while those fade from memory, I know this one will sit for a long time hereafter in my mind. Thank you for a great piece of content.
Because of the length I thought this was the trilogy. Even though it isn't, this is hands down the best dark souls lore video ever. I can't wait till you guys get to Dark Souls 3, my first ever souls game.
Even tho I’ve seen many vids on the story of the Dark Souls series, I still find them interesting and enjoy watching new ones. This vid is definitely among some of the best. So so really really good - thanks BC! Looking forward to the next 2!
Thank god I found this video, just finished the game yesterday and I didn't knew everything at all, this video showed me so many things I didn't knew like fair Lady could die due to her saving all the infected or the bed of chaos things, maybe my simple gratitude is useless but making a 2 hour video explaining a whole story, that is dedication and love what you do, Thanks for doing this
I've been playing this series for several years but never quite dove into the story. Today I decided to play this video like a podcast while I was playing another game, which I ended up closing to pay full attention to this, not only because of the story, but because of your narration as well, you had me completely hooked. Great job, I'll go watch the other videos now.
I have been thinking about this for several years now and I have not come closer to a satisfying answer The beginning of the Dark Souls 1 is so much harder to understand than the rest of it, if only we had just a tiny bit more info
Personally I just assume that the devs went with that to make it more dramatic and to make it obvious that the player should inspect the corpse and any further corpses they come across. When you think about it there are very few objects in dark souls that do not come off of corpses or from chests.
@@joshuagibbons8821 Perhaps my memory is just faulty, I know it happens in dark souls three but can you recall any instances in dark souls one where there is an item either not in a chest or on a corpse? Just laying there in the world?
I've watched this video three times since I found it last week. Beautifully done. Your compilation of dialogue at the end was amazing with the background music. Siegmeyer and Solaire's stories were always heart-wrenching
It’s a little bit poetic how Gwyn took every step he could and did everything in his power to continue the age of fire, and not let the darkness reign over the gods. And even after everything, when you reach the Kiln of the First Flame, Gwyn is a husk of his former self, having sacrificed his own soul to keep the flame alive. This video truly is a perfect in-depth dive into the beautiful story and lore that FromSoftware and Miyazaki crafted for this game. If you do end up doing a video on Dark Souls 2 and 3, I’ll definitely be checking those out, and you have 100% earned a new subscriber.
Discovered this & part 2 yesterday & am watching for the fourth time now. I can't stop. I'm trapped. And I can't complain. By far the best lore presentation I've seen so far. Keep it coming!
Having played Dark Souls for hundreds and hundreds of hours, I found myself lost within your story telling and in awe at things I had missed when it comes to the story. Well done sir, you earned my like and a sub 👍
I’ve been with the soul series since demon souls first came out. It has been one of the most important parts of my life and has truly defined who I am as a gamer. You have not only brought the story of dark souls to life, but made it memorable. I applaud you, this was excellent and a true pleasure to see. I’ve subbed and I hope you get many more, you guys deserve it
Everything about this video is amazing. The storytelling the editing the music the narration all are top notch. Looking forward to the Dark Souls 3 vid already!! Great job lads
Bros , this was so fire!!!!! You guys were able to capture the depth of dark souls and deliver it in an amazing comprehensive way. I plays the DS series and love them but was never able to put the pieces together, thank you guys for the great work.
As a newcomer to Dark Souls, i was very confused at the lore during my first blind playthrough. That's when a lot of people told me that this series relies in a sort of " enviromental storytelling " and after a few more playthroughs, i had a lot of lore pieces, but always had a hard time putting them together, until this video. What a breathtaking masterpiece of storytelling. Can't wait for a new playthrough and to check the other games. Simply stupendous video, much thanks for this experience.
Just what I was waiting for. Only found dark souls 2 months ago. These games are what I’ve been missing and the lore is amazing. Thank you so so much for this video!!
What I love most about the Souls lore is how you can play through all 4 games and not really read too deep into item or weapon descriptions, only vaguely listen to NPC dialogue and you could easily be forgiven for completing the games and not realizing how vast and deep and interconnected the lore and stories are. The Souls series is the perfect example of a video game lore iceberg where 99.9% is hidden underneath. You wouldn't be faulted for putting the series in the category of storyless and just another overly difficult game with nothing deeper. Fromsoft is amazing at making the player work for the story, to read every item/weapon description , to really have to think to figure out secrets. But once you learn the story and how deep the lore truly is you start to really admire Miyazaki's ability to make something look overlysimplified and mundane when in fact I personally could without a doubt say that the Souls story/lore is one of the best ever written imo. Thankfully we have lore channels like Vaati and Ashen, and now you Brother's Code, This is the first video of your I came across and I'm more than happy to sub and share your channel. The Souls games will always have a very very special place in my heart because they rekindled my love of the RPG genre. Amazing video my friend, can't wait to watch your other content!
That's one of the best part about the Soulsborne games. The story is never shoved down our throats by unending dialogues and player control taken away every 5 minutes to watch a cutscene. It's the RPG that puts playing it before everything else and the deep lore if cared for is just cherry on top
The way you told the story and the editing is amazing! You guys are great to listen to and the story was easy to understand and was presented very nicely, and was entertaining, great job!
Honestly, ending on Aldia's question truly is the fitting culmination of the story of Dark Souls. Beyond Light and Dark, is there something destined for humanity in the scope of the cycle or is everything just supposed to play out all over again in perpetuity? Is there really no end to Gwyn's misdeed?
The dark souls 3 tells me that the only salvation is in the painted world. Gwyn has done something irrevocable, irreversible. The painted world of Ash, made from the blood of the dark soul seems to be the only hope. Our battle with Gael at the end of all things, tells us that indeed, after do long, ash inherits the world. Almost like the age of ancients. Nothing of the world remains. Except us. Truly absurdist, as the other replier said.
Except a world borne from a Lord soul will still bear remnants of the cycle of power. Not to mention GRRM already leaked in a seminar QnA that Elden Ring was a sequel to Dark Souls 3. After playing Elden Ring, the painted world is clearly Elden Ring. I believe the true ending of Dark Souls 3 would be the ending where you present the first flame to the firekeeper, only to strike her down once she extracts the ember and steal it for yourself and consume it like any consumable ember. Just like how the world bore the undead curse to bring balance caused by gwyn’s misalignment, the unkindled were brought back with one purpose, to bring the Lord’s of Cinder to kneel, but killing the firekeeper and robbing the ember even queues the ominous dialogue. “Unfit even to be cinder” you are not a Lord of Cinder. You are NOT part of the cycle. You were supposed to be the solution to continue to cycle one way or another ( preserve the flame, or allow an age of darkness ). But when you deny the firekeeper to care for the ember to bloom again, you truly extinguish the first flame’s Lord Souls, save the Dark Soul, which would remain in the ringed city under midir’s eye. As midir is a dragon, who were present before the advent of souls in the Land, I dont doubt he would adjust in a world post-cycle of fire, but even that isn’t set in stone.
"without death life holds no value" that's deep man. and I'm pretty stoned. love souls though, never knew the story so clearly, beat 1 and ½ of 2 on 3 now. you def got a sub man, good content
I counted around 3-4 minor mistakes in the video, like 45:00 - this is not the fair lady clasping Quelana's tome, this is Quelana dead snuggling up to her sister's spider corpse. Or 1:05:00 this demon can be seen from the beginning through the bars, they didn't send another demon because you killed the previous one. He's there from the game's start. Also I went to make a drink at some point so maybe I missed it, but I think you didn't talk about the Nameless King's bedroom in Anor Londo? And how it's home to the strongest titanite demon? Still despite that, very happy that a souls lore video came out in 2021. This can only be applauded! Subbed!
One mistake I saw was about ceaseless discharge, he was NOT the first demon, that title goes to the Demon Firesage who you encounter later, he was the first demon created by the chaos flame. Ceaseless turns into a demon after dropping the ring he was given by his sisters, all this is noted in item descriptions and I'm shocked they managed to mistake that.
@@BischKing Yeah he's not, the furtive pigmy is primeval man as a collective whole, not one single being. A mistake many people make. Because the dark soul is shared between all humans equally.
I've been watching dark souls lore videos for 7+ years, This has to be one of the most well put together beginning to end story's on RUclips for dark souls 1 and you only touch the tip of the iceberg. It's insane how much lore really is packed away inside the DS universe. I can't wait to see what you guy's pull out your hat for DS2 and DS3 maybe even demon souls. One thing that I really love about the souls series is the way you have to hunt for lore, keeps it fun when you find something you may have missed as small as that information maybe About to go watch your Bloodborne Story Explained, after watching this I honestly can't wait 🤯😍
This is the best, easy explanatory ,very understanding story that i found in all the darks souls lore videos on youtube. As a newbie in the DS series i appreciate the time and efforts you guys puts for making this , You opened my eyes and my point of view of everything in the game , Now I understand why this game still hold a special ranking place after 13 years .
Seriously well done. I started with DS3, and I really liked it for it's gameplay, but I never could've imagined that the lore within the series could be so deep.
This was beautiful. I haven’t even played any of the souls games, just bloodborne, sekiro and Elden ring. I have watched a lot of DS content so this wasn’t all new but your video was so immersive and pleasant to listen to. This was wonderful and the ending was such a great tie in.

@@MisterK-YT just have a panic disorder and often panic from nothing. I use to smoke but I can’t for the same reason you explained in your other comment
@@_Your_Boy_Moth_ thanks for sharing!
This is what I had always wanted, a beautifully narrated movie depicting almost if not all the important parts of the story of Dark Souls including the gameplay and user actions necessary to know some of the more well-hidden lore. Commendable work, enjoyed it to the fullest.
Thank you for such positive feedback, we appreciate it my friend!
Please make a video on the other two Dark Souls games! Everyone would love and support the series!!
I wanna see dark soul 2 & 3 and demon soul
Yes yes yes
Im still not sure what DS2 was about
Doesnt this cover all 3 or is there just that much repeated in the games? Ive only ever played 3
@@rogeryoungblood2452 this has a bit of three because they’re so intertwined, and there’s a little bit of two, mostly in the form of aldia.
3 days ago I searched “bloodborne story” and you guys popped up. I loved it so much and was like damn I wonder if these guys will do a dark souls story. Then today happened! Thank you!
That's great timing isn't it haha, you're welcome, and thank you for watching and supporting us!
@@Thebrotherscode Incredible timing. I watched the first have today and I’m finishing up the second half when I open my shop tomorrow. And I’ll be rewatching!
the ending hit so hard had me crying hearing all their prayers their wishes and the last words they each say
I never knew how powerful and deep the story and lore of this game was until now. I now have a strong appreciation for this game that I never knew I would gain. Very well done.
thanks for blessing us with a 2 hour souls vid
You're welcome! ❤️
Truly. Great, well made and edited content here. Excellent narration. 🔥🖤
it’s not like we don’t know what’s going on
I thought this video was going to cover the entire trilogy. Very impressive how much lore you were able to obtain for the story of the first game. Looking forward to your video on 2!
You have answer the question i search to know : is the video cover the 3 game!
wait this just one game damn what happens in the other two?
@MrImATool it was mentioned in the lore from dark souls 3
@@JehuisRad 2 is kinda a separate story, 3 is a combination as well as its own
Overlap of 1 and 3 is such that you have to cover parts of 3 anyways. But who's complaining? It's great!!!
What a great video! Souls is a franchise that really lends itself to these kinds of videos. And you made the most complete, least contradictory video on DS1 I've seen thus far.
I REALLY liked how you included all the side characters' stories and that you make it absolutely clear when you enter the territory of speculation.
I hope you do the entire trilogy like this because DS2 is the one game I've never played and I absolutely did NOT understand DS3.
Thank you for watching, we appreciate the kind words, we are currently working on Dark Souls II, and plan on doing the entire trilogy!
Dark souls 2 is to Dark souls 1, as ancient sumer and cavemen are to us. Dark souls 3 is to dark souls 1, as world war 1 is to world war 2.
Man, even after all these years. All these playthroughs, hearing the story of Artorias, Sif, and the player always breaks my heart. And hearing that pained howl and seeing the recognition in Sifs eyes, knowing what's about to have to happen...it still brings tears to my eyes. I dont know about anyone else, but the first time I encountered this, I actually got so upset that I put my controller down and just accepted defeat. Sif is the best boy. Only trying to do the best for his previous master and current friend. He will never be forgotten. ❤️
Lol wut the f? Stfu rotflmfao there is help for crazy brah, get it
Future tip for anyone who doesn't want their heart completely shattered: Don't let up on Sif when she's near death.
Man, having seen at least 8 videos explaining the story of Dark Souls, I can honestly say that yours has the best narrative, audio and overall dedication. I'm truly grateful to have found this. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY VIDEO.
You guys made a masterpiece...thank you so much for this wonderful video...
Thank you very much, it means a lot coming from someone as talented as yourself! ♥
you also made some masterpieces. I may have rewatched dork souls 20 times now.
Hey it's the Italian guy that likes the Dancer's booty a lil too much

Dude that s like a whole movie. Its incredible to see such an effort from an up and coming channel. Good job!

I haven't played them fully yet, is this just Dark Souls I or the whole trilogy story? Thankies.
Just wanna say the way you put together the video was amazing, it was like a movie with a great narration. You took a massive story and pieced it together amazingly. Thank you for all your effort
Brother’s Code has completely changed my perspective on Dark Souls as a whole. This video is a beautiful piece of content that I will never grow tired of and will constantly lead me to question my actions in the various games in the Dark Souls series.
Thank you, Brother’s Code and patches is right you can’t trust clerics lol
I always felt that the Dragons were everlasting due to their scales, the scales allowed them to be immortal and that's why Seath the Scaleless was so jealous and full of hatred toward the other dragons; and why he would become a traitor against them; because unlike his ilk he was scaleless and thus mortal. Also why he was so interested in crystal magics, so he could make artificial scales out of crystals to become immortal or at the least extend his life.
You're right- others have pointed out that in the opening cutscene, Seath is shown holding a dragon scale that crumbles as he lets out a cry of anguish, which implies his whole goal in siding with Gwyn was to achieve immortality like the other dragons
@@NuevoExistence What are you talking about? There are no "crystals of immortality" in dark souls. Seath did not _find_ anything, he created the crystal magic as well as various other magics.
@@NuevoExistence where does it say this in-game?
@@NuevoExistence ok thanks, I never did a sorcery build so I haven't heard much of Logan's lines.
@@NuevoExistence damn, I too always assumed the crystal was his crowning invention, not that he just yoinked it. Perhaps it was a mistranslation?
After having seen every vaati upload ever, having finished the game over 15 times making sure to encounter every single npc as often as possible and doing a few 100% runs, you have still been able to absolutely amaze me with this video. A true labour of love. I saw nothing I didn't know but this was 2 hours of true craftsmanship and hard work - well done! I shall be watching your other soulsborne videos with glee!
To have the story connected chronologically in this high quality format is so awesome.
A fellow vaat watcher, a man of culture I see. I have not watched every upload, not even close. I do hold his work in very high regard. Would you say this man here did his homework? No glaring misinterpretations? Would it hold vaat's approval would you think?
@@ShotofCyanide1 i have basically no knowledge of vaat, is he like the gold standard of dark souls lore??
@@uncaged1180 he's probably the most well-known for how prolific he is but i wouldnt say he's the best. For surface level stuff he's fine but his theories can tend to be kind of nonsensical. I personally prefer Hawkshaw; although their theories in recent videos have also been wildly speculative unfortunately. Their timeline video, the one about demons, and the one about the Way of White are all really good though.
Yea these guys are really good. I think vaati has been off lately. For awhile actually. His elden ring content leaves a lot to be desired. He just seems like he wants to sell shirts and is resting on his laurels. Or he lost the passion. He takes forever now too.
I remember the first time I played Dark Souls. I spent 4 hours trying to clear out the skeletons in the cemetary, only to realise that maybe this wasn't the right place to be. A few hours later I was at the top of a curch and rang a bell. I had no ideea what was happening but I thought to myself "Man, this game is awesome and profound!".
Ten years later, thanks to you, I understand the story.
The story of the Witches is incredibly heart breaking :(
This game makes me feel emotions that can't be described... one of the most beautiful, unforced and uniquely told stories of all of gaming
Be Me, someone who falls asleep listening to long 2 hours lore videos
"This will make a fine addition to my collection"
Same here, any suggestions?
my people, we have gathered here tonight to share in the glory of a soothing voice and excellent story telling.
gotta have my nightly story, either this stuff or astro physics conference, I usually rotate. science, sci fi. fantasy, back to science rinse repeat and a sprinkle of spc or creepy pasta if they are good enough.
@@trashstar3908 The Exploring Series has tons of different stuff
Wow man the story of Quelana and the fair lady.. it's so tragic.. i really felt that one.
Rage.. rage against the dying of the light, the coming of darkness. What a masterpiece.
How do you not have a million Subs at LEAST? This was so well put together.
This is just a little nitpick, but the Stray Demon was actually at the Undead Asylum the whole time. You actually see it walking right at the beginning as you exit the cell. The Asylum Demon is in the upper part.
Wtf did I just watch. You are so good in telling the story. Impossible not to get emotional in the end, this is GOLD
Dude, you guys pulled my heart strings really hard with the ending of the video. Everyone's Voice pleading the chosen to help, heros that fell to tragedy, people telling the Chosen to rest up and Solaire...damn, good job man.
1:01:55
Ornstein likely didn't die at archdragon peak, as his armour is merely lying around on the ground. Seeing as people go to archdragon peak in order to become dragons, and you fight a massive dragon right above where you find his armour, I think what likely happened was that Ornstein being far stronger than most men who try to become dragons, became the king of the storm.
the king of the storm was the drake befriended by the nameless king when he was still on gwyn's side
He didnt become the drake but it if he did anything it is quite possible he became the dragon that you fight in the beginning
i thought nameless king was solaire
Saying ehich dragon ornstein is is kinda impossible but I find him being dead unlikely and it more like he did throw his armor away as it isn't on a corpse or in a chest just laying on the ground
@@brightestlight9462 No sadly solaire is just a guy who happens to be incredibly awesome
I legit shed a tear in the end. Dark Souls is phenomenal and so are you guys since you made such an amazing work. I loved your video on bloodborne dearly, this time you delivered the same top notch quality.
Cant wait for bearer of the curse story.
Much of love and respect from bottom of my heart.
I know right, he went full sad mode in the end. With the music and all those characters.
This is by far the most straightforward yet detailed explanation of the Dark Souls story
Dark Souls lore is probably my most favorite storytelling then any of the other Souls-Borne games. When I usually can't sleep I put on a Lore video. I always find myself always coming back to this video of Dark Souls Lore. It's just so calming and tells the Lore very well. Thank you for helping me sleep.
That was unbeleivable. I have never seen anyone tell the story of Dark Souls like this. 10/10. 5 Stars. Magnificent. I felt the emotions behind all of the storylines. The gravity of every situation... The hardships and triumphs... Defeat and Victory... It was all so well told.
Thank you my friend, It is very reassuring to read comments such as this, it means a lot to us! ❤️
They used to say (movies based on video games are bad)
Well this one is a masterpiece
That’s cause this is a documentary 😄
Hands down the best and most detailed Dark Souls Story video I've ever seen on RUclips...
Thank you, we appreciate the support my friend!
Dang I actually got emotional from this. This game was my favorite one of all time and i was so interested in it. I love miyazaki and all of his work. Beautiful yet somber and dark
That sister or doughter (couldn't keep track) of izalith has a tremble in her voice that's just heartbreaking. I love the story. Thank you for making the effort and telling it.
Absolutely fantastic. Never have I seen the whole story put so concisely. It filled several gaps in my knowledge as well. I never knew about the deeper stories of Izalith or the Daughters of Chaos. Thank you so much for making this
You're welcome, and thank you for watching! =D
The amount of lore I have consumed has not been enough!
It's never enough my friend!
Loved this, I could even add up a ton of stuff here around this game as it's the one I spent the most time "lorehunting" back in the day. You're doing a MASSIVE favor to the whole community with this sort of content, keep it up.
This was absolutely amazing. Any other video on this topic was too convoluted and quickly changed from character to character, twisting and turning.
This was told like a true story, a beginning, middle, and end.
Amazing.
Gently guides through game events and brings light on everything, including the side characters. I got much more than expected. Well compiled video with good narration.
Items and locations make so much sense to me now.
Even though I know the Souls lore like the back of my hand (I think) I gotta watch this because your Bloodborne lore video was AMAZING and I'm sure this will be no different.
Oh also a Demons Soul lore video would be pretty awesome.....just saying 😅
@@joeclarke7982 Thank you Joe, we're glad you enjoyed the Bloodborne video, we plan on covering all of the Souls games, although it may take a while 😂
thats exactly why im here too
@@Thebrotherscode Yeah y'all doing that deep dive research can't be a fast process.
The comp at the end had me almost in tears, very beautiful video
I watched a lot of videos explaining the story of Dark Souls but so far this is the most complete and detailed of all. What an amazing work, keep up this great quality.
Every time I finish a game, the FIRST thing I do is check your channel to see if you covered it. Your story telling skills are 10/10 and you obviously put so much prep, research, editing and love into these videos. I can never just watch them one time either. Thank you for your hard work ❤
Love what you did with the end! That whole sequence of music and dialogue and cutscenes was very well done.
I am out of words. This is simply amazing and it gave me so many goosebumps at certain points. Thank you so so so much for this, I will recommend it to all of my Dark Souls friends!
Thank you very much, we appreciate you sharing our video!
I just finished this game and watching this video immediately after was such a high quality addition to my experience. Thank you! This is amazing!
We're lucky to have played a game in a time where this video exists.
They actually said they plan to do the trilogy! Dark Souls 2's video is out actually.
Have you played any other Souls games? and what are you playing now? Just curious :)
You guys killed it again. Seriously was brought to tears during the Sif explanation. Thank you!
02:08:24 got pretty emotional around this part. Really well done.
kinda weird
oh my god i knew the fight with sif was sad but this is so much more sad than i could have imagined im crying dawg
I’ve watched plentiful videos on DS lore, but while those fade from memory, I know this one will sit for a long time hereafter in my mind. Thank you for a great piece of content.
Was looking for copper, found gold. Time to get some snacks and hunker down.
Because of the length I thought this was the trilogy. Even though it isn't, this is hands down the best dark souls lore video ever. I can't wait till you guys get to Dark Souls 3, my first ever souls game.
Even tho I’ve seen many vids on the story of the Dark Souls series, I still find them interesting and enjoy watching new ones. This vid is definitely among some of the best. So so really really good - thanks BC! Looking forward to the next 2!
I played this whole game, and found about 5% of this through my whole playthrough
This makes a lot more sense now. Thank you
This is easily the best Dark Souls lore content/recap ever done. Amazing job.
Thank god I found this video, just finished the game yesterday and I didn't knew everything at all, this video showed me so many things I didn't knew like fair Lady could die due to her saving all the infected or the bed of chaos things, maybe my simple gratitude is useless but making a 2 hour video explaining a whole story, that is dedication and love what you do, Thanks for doing this
Man, each time I come across a quality DS video, like this:
Me: gotta start a new playthru!
I've been playing this series for several years but never quite dove into the story. Today I decided to play this video like a podcast while I was playing another game, which I ended up closing to pay full attention to this, not only because of the story, but because of your narration as well, you had me completely hooked. Great job, I'll go watch the other videos now.
Man... I'm getting into Dark Souls now and this is without a doubt the best video I've seen about its history
What I wanna know, is who's corpse did Oscar drop down. It's pretty raw of him to drop the corpse of the key's bearer and not just the key.
I have been thinking about this for several years now and I have not come closer to a satisfying answer
The beginning of the Dark Souls 1 is so much harder to understand than the rest of it, if only we had just a tiny bit more info
Personally I just assume that the devs went with that to make it more dramatic and to make it obvious that the player should inspect the corpse and any further corpses they come across. When you think about it there are very few objects in dark souls that do not come off of corpses or from chests.
I always took it as an inside joke to the player, that items are always found on corpses so Oscar tosses you a corpse lol
@@joshuagibbons8821 Perhaps my memory is just faulty, I know it happens in dark souls three but can you recall any instances in dark souls one where there is an item either not in a chest or on a corpse? Just laying there in the world?
@@SentientMeatloaf1 There are a few, but the least of the series for sure.
I've watched this video three times since I found it last week. Beautifully done. Your compilation of dialogue at the end was amazing with the background music. Siegmeyer and Solaire's stories were always heart-wrenching
It’s a little bit poetic how Gwyn took every step he could and did everything in his power to continue the age of fire, and not let the darkness reign over the gods. And even after everything, when you reach the Kiln of the First Flame, Gwyn is a husk of his former self, having sacrificed his own soul to keep the flame alive. This video truly is a perfect in-depth dive into the beautiful story and lore that FromSoftware and Miyazaki crafted for this game. If you do end up doing a video on Dark Souls 2 and 3, I’ll definitely be checking those out, and you have 100% earned a new subscriber.
No matter how many times i listen to this i never get bored of it
Discovered this & part 2 yesterday & am watching for the fourth time now. I can't stop. I'm trapped. And I can't complain. By far the best lore presentation I've seen so far. Keep it coming!
Having played Dark Souls for hundreds and hundreds of hours, I found myself lost within your story telling and in awe at things I had missed when it comes to the story. Well done sir, you earned my like and a sub 👍
I’ve been with the soul series since demon souls first came out. It has been one of the most important parts of my life and has truly defined who I am as a gamer. You have not only brought the story of dark souls to life, but made it memorable. I applaud you, this was excellent and a true pleasure to see. I’ve subbed and I hope you get many more, you guys deserve it
Everything about this video is amazing. The storytelling the editing the music the narration all are top notch. Looking forward to the Dark Souls 3 vid already!! Great job lads
Bros , this was so fire!!!!! You guys were able to capture the depth of dark souls and deliver it in an amazing comprehensive way. I plays the DS series and love them but was never able to put the pieces together, thank you guys for the great work.
As a newcomer to Dark Souls, i was very confused at the lore during my first blind playthrough. That's when a lot of people told me that this series relies in a sort of " enviromental storytelling " and after a few more playthroughs, i had a lot of lore pieces, but always had a hard time putting them together, until this video. What a breathtaking masterpiece of storytelling. Can't wait for a new playthrough and to check the other games. Simply stupendous video, much thanks for this experience.
Just what I was waiting for. Only found dark souls 2 months ago. These games are what I’ve been missing and the lore is amazing. Thank you so so much for this video!!
You’re welcome, thank you for watching and supporting our content!
Glad you found it. You're gonna play it over and over again
Oh btw: don't you dare go hollow!
What I love most about the Souls lore is how you can play through all 4 games and not really read too deep into item or weapon descriptions, only vaguely listen to NPC dialogue and you could easily be forgiven for completing the games and not realizing how vast and deep and interconnected the lore and stories are. The Souls series is the perfect example of a video game lore iceberg where 99.9% is hidden underneath. You wouldn't be faulted for putting the series in the category of storyless and just another overly difficult game with nothing deeper. Fromsoft is amazing at making the player work for the story, to read every item/weapon description , to really have to think to figure out secrets. But once you learn the story and how deep the lore truly is you start to really admire Miyazaki's ability to make something look overlysimplified and mundane when in fact I personally could without a doubt say that the Souls story/lore is one of the best ever written imo. Thankfully we have lore channels like Vaati and Ashen, and now you Brother's Code, This is the first video of your I came across and I'm more than happy to sub and share your channel. The Souls games will always have a very very special place in my heart because they rekindled my love of the RPG genre. Amazing video my friend, can't wait to watch your other content!
That's one of the best part about the Soulsborne games. The story is never shoved down our throats by unending dialogues and player control taken away every 5 minutes to watch a cutscene. It's the RPG that puts playing it before everything else and the deep lore if cared for is just cherry on top
I've heard this story countless times but I'm always welcome to hear it from new people.
this is one of the most soothing videos i’ve ever seen
The way you told the story and the editing is amazing! You guys are great to listen to and the story was easy to understand and was presented very nicely, and was entertaining, great job!
Honestly, ending on Aldia's question truly is the fitting culmination of the story of Dark Souls. Beyond Light and Dark, is there something destined for humanity in the scope of the cycle or is everything just supposed to play out all over again in perpetuity? Is there really no end to Gwyn's misdeed?
It seems most likely to be a play on Sisyphus and his boulder. It's more absurdist than existential.
The dark souls 3 tells me that the only salvation is in the painted world. Gwyn has done something irrevocable, irreversible. The painted world of Ash, made from the blood of the dark soul seems to be the only hope. Our battle with Gael at the end of all things, tells us that indeed, after do long, ash inherits the world. Almost like the age of ancients. Nothing of the world remains. Except us. Truly absurdist, as the other replier said.
Except a world borne from a Lord soul will still bear remnants of the cycle of power. Not to mention GRRM already leaked in a seminar QnA that Elden Ring was a sequel to Dark Souls 3. After playing Elden Ring, the painted world is clearly Elden Ring.
I believe the true ending of Dark Souls 3 would be the ending where you present the first flame to the firekeeper, only to strike her down once she extracts the ember and steal it for yourself and consume it like any consumable ember. Just like how the world bore the undead curse to bring balance caused by gwyn’s misalignment, the unkindled were brought back with one purpose, to bring the Lord’s of Cinder to kneel, but killing the firekeeper and robbing the ember even queues the ominous dialogue. “Unfit even to be cinder” you are not a Lord of Cinder. You are NOT part of the cycle. You were supposed to be the solution to continue to cycle one way or another ( preserve the flame, or allow an age of darkness ). But when you deny the firekeeper to care for the ember to bloom again, you truly extinguish the first flame’s Lord Souls, save the Dark Soul, which would remain in the ringed city under midir’s eye. As midir is a dragon, who were present before the advent of souls in the Land, I dont doubt he would adjust in a world post-cycle of fire, but even that isn’t set in stone.
probably not a good place to mention that I'm fairly onboard with the Age of Fire continuing into perpetuity, especially considering the alternative.
"without death life holds no value" that's deep man. and I'm pretty stoned. love souls though, never knew the story so clearly, beat 1 and ½ of 2 on 3 now. you def got a sub man, good content
The work put into these vids is insane glad I found this channel. Keep up the great work team.

I'm dark souls obsessed and am amazed to have now just realized this. Amazing job guys.
2 hours of dark souls story and lore… incredible, good job guys, this was super detailed and very entertaining.
I counted around 3-4 minor mistakes in the video, like 45:00 - this is not the fair lady clasping Quelana's tome, this is Quelana dead snuggling up to her sister's spider corpse. Or 1:05:00 this demon can be seen from the beginning through the bars, they didn't send another demon because you killed the previous one. He's there from the game's start. Also I went to make a drink at some point so maybe I missed it, but I think you didn't talk about the Nameless King's bedroom in Anor Londo? And how it's home to the strongest titanite demon? Still despite that, very happy that a souls lore video came out in 2021. This can only be applauded! Subbed!
One mistake I saw was about ceaseless discharge, he was NOT the first demon, that title goes to the Demon Firesage who you encounter later, he was the first demon created by the chaos flame. Ceaseless turns into a demon after dropping the ring he was given by his sisters, all this is noted in item descriptions and I'm shocked they managed to mistake that.
Plus im pretty sure manus isnt the furtive pigmy
@@BischKing Yeah he's not, the furtive pigmy is primeval man as a collective whole, not one single being. A mistake many people make. Because the dark soul is shared between all humans equally.
@@rileyboy10 Indeed!
@@BischKing Very true. I missed the part they called him that.
I love how Vamos has those weird pointless bones on his face. Cause hey, even as a skeleton, a blacksmiths still gotta have a beard.
@@colbyboucher6391 tbf that wouldn’t be the weirdest thing in the dark souls lore
Thery are not bones, but metal. The same accessories that are found on the back of the Xanthos set.
I've been watching dark souls lore videos for 7+ years, This has to be one of the most well put together beginning to end story's on RUclips for dark souls 1 and you only touch the tip of the iceberg. It's insane how much lore really is packed away inside the DS universe. I can't wait to see what you guy's pull out your hat for DS2 and DS3 maybe even demon souls.
One thing that I really love about the souls series is the way you have to hunt for lore, keeps it fun when you find something you may have missed as small as that information maybe
About to go watch your Bloodborne Story Explained, after watching this I honestly can't wait 🤯😍
This is the best, easy explanatory
,very understanding story that i found in all the darks souls lore videos on youtube. As a newbie in the DS series i appreciate the time and efforts you guys puts for making this , You opened my eyes and my point of view of everything in the game , Now I understand why this game still hold a special ranking place after 13 years .
This sort of storytelling really makes you appreciate the detail of the Soulsborne series. This is wonderfully told, I look forward to more
that was amazing and so emotional. i’m looking forward to maybe your DS2 and DS3 lore movie
Thank you Isaiah, glad you enjoyed the video!
Two hours of quality souls content right into my veins, thanks
Seriously well done. I started with DS3, and I really liked it for it's gameplay, but I never could've imagined that the lore within the series could be so deep.
This was beautiful. I haven’t even played any of the souls games, just bloodborne, sekiro and Elden ring. I have watched a lot of DS content so this wasn’t all new but your video was so immersive and pleasant to listen to. This was wonderful and the ending was such a great tie in.
