I love that every soulborne game has a protagonist in the main cover of each game, and every one of them, we will all face them in battle, to finally prove whom shall leave victorious or to end one’s suffering
Don't Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne just have a possible player character on them
Dark souls 2's original cover had yes, but scholar of the first sin edition had the reccurring invader forlorn in the cover art
What about Sekiro?
@@OneMadLad11yes that’s the main protagonist on the cover
@BingoBangoBongo2903 Yes but Forlorn isn't a protagonist
bro rizzed up a dragon
He got the tricks from Donkey
best girl
The context was something else lmao
Donkey style
DONNKEEY
Bro missed out the whole part where he went to the frenzied flame to save his maiden from being consumed in the giants flame, one of the biggest parts of the damn story!
But it’s the same way we go got manipulated into getting burned, cause shabriri said the same thing to us and melina wanted us to use her life instead and here we are
@@blackhooded1596well if you have miquella's needle its different
@@AALion2004 still ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone😔
@@smoothtalkwith2014 well Melina barely shows up in the game only time she shows up is for small talks I wish she was more involved in the game wish they made her be the one to give you hugs instead of fia especially when you want to upgrade your character would've made her death more sad since she was sort of like a comfort to the main character but we don't get that
@@AALion2004 I think she did it on purpose to try and keep us from getting attached to her as Vyke did with his maiden
Since Vyke had entered the chamber of the Three Fingers with armour on, he did not receive the Flame of Frenzy properly. If I am correct, you can find Vyke's eyes in the game in the form of Shabririr grapes (special ones that are specificaly Vyke's), which indicates that he ended up plucking his eyes out to strip himself of the Flame of Frenzy.
Yeah you get a specific grape which IS one of vykes eyes, and you find him after he's plucked it in an evergaol, free of corruption
Yeah the fingerprint grape, and I think he locked himself in the evergaol because he was unsure if he was free from its influence.
@@michaelaguilera6946 Curious. So when we use miquellas needle in placidusax’ arena, do we ourselves pluck out our own shabriri grape? Just a thought
@@michaelaguilera6946 Weird then that we don't find him in an Evergaol
@@RoastTurtle2Vyke can be found within an avergaol, in mountaintop of the giants i believe
I heard that he became frenzied because he want to save his maiden. But she died anyway, which is quite sad :'(
Exactly the type of subplots I expect in these games.
Either she commited suicide after abondening her duty or she got killed to punished vyke
iirc she was murdered by varre or one of the other white mask incels.
@@We3dCraftLP could have been the Frenzy flame trying to push him further into madness.
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus thats the nice Part of souls games Theories can go wild
He must have been called dragonspear for another reason when he was with Lansseax
Deserves more likes
A very good comment.
@@ericdiaz6796 this is the cost of being late commenting here 💔
lmao
Holding a spear being a lancer giving that Lanssexxx
The thing is his skin wasn’t seared by any flame, just his armour. You can see melted fingerprints on his armour set, and I think the reason he failed to become Elden lord and went mad is because he went to the 3 fingers with armour on. The player doesn’t go mad because they undergo the full proper procedure with the 3 fingers and allow the Frenzied Flame into your very soul and body in a way that is not doable with armour on. It would also explain why the 3 fingers are still there when the player goes to get Frenzied Flame, because we clearly see them disappear after the transference is done, now that it has been properly done
And location of the fingerprints on his armor indicate that he was grabbed from behind. Maybe he had a last-minute change of heart and wanted to leave or something🤔
Sooooooo basically you gotta get raw dogged by the 3 fingers to receive it right
@@vloneroyal yeah it’s canon that I got diddled by 3 fingers
From the Fingerprint Grape: "Eyeball of the Knight Vyke, Inflamed yellow. Seared with a repulsive fingerprint burn akin to those that marred his entire body."
So his body did get seared, however it was likely through his armor so you are, probably, half right. His armor prevented a proper transference but he was clearly scarred by the frenzied flame.
@@kennethmorgan8795 fair enough, I didn’t realise the dude in the video was reciting an item description
You were the chosen one, Vyke!
You were supposed to destroy the flame, not join it!
Bring balance to the order. Not leave it in frenzy.
Vyke: Make Chaos take you! May Chaos take the world
Poor vike, all he wanted was to save his maiden, but he was lied to
Edit: this is my most liked comment, thank you guys!!
His red phantom still protects her body from you.
@joseportillo9541 The red phantom is him, he murdered his Maiden after being warped by the Flame of Frenzy. Ironic how he embraced the Flame of Frenzy to save her, then ends up killing her do to the flames nefarious influence.
@@itsawoodchuck4330 I didn't say it wasn't him though, I know he killed her. I'm saying that to reach her body you have to get through the red phantom first.
@@itsawoodchuck4330 Reminds me of Star Wars..
@@itsawoodchuck4330 sounds a lot like Anakin
I heard in a lore video... that vyke overcame madness, by gouging his own eye or eyes out... which is also why SHABRIRI grapes, which are actually eyeballs, are a thing in the game.... they're eyes full of madness
and they are quite tasty
You can also get Edgar's from Castle Morne his eyeballs after you kill him. His eyes full of madness in seek of revenge for his daughter who was killed by Misgottens.
Also kind of messed up that Hyetta is theorized to be a resurrected Irina. Which means you are giving Hyetta her father's eyeballs.
@@enterusername6953 It's not even a question. She definitely is, somehow, a form of Irina. She has the exact same model and voice, and only shows up after Irina is killed. She also requires Edgar's "grape".
Perhaps this might imply that all finger maidens are somehow women that died and were resurrected by Marika, but that the shabriri finger maidens were corrupted through some process.
Keep in mind that Melina, herself not a real finger maiden in the truest sense, was also punished by marika, possibly burned alive, and doesn't seem to remember some details about her past life as the gloam eyed queen, unless she's lying. Hyetta certainly doesn't remember anything concerning how Irina passed away.
Goug-ing and eyes, and dragons.
Is this a Hawkeye Gough reference???
never knew that was the dude on the cover...thats cool
The things people do for their maidens 😞
Orinsten: i slayed a dragon
Vyke:
I'VE F**KED A DRAGON!!
I mean lansseax was able to transform into a human so maybe he was like hmmm why not try some exotic stuff💀Alsp shu must be the perfect mommy because idk how old the ancient dragons can get.. Also theres a game called drakengard (which the nier series is a spin off to) where you literally fkc a huge dragon apparently
Donkey from the Shrek movies:
Dragon slayer Ornstein vs Dragon layer Vyke
Donkey : aah a fellow of dragon lover
Dragon slayer vs the dragon layer
I saw a theory that since Vyke wore his armor when he met the Three Fingers, didn't affect him as much as it should and he resisted it, locking himself up in an evergaol in the end
Until I killed him and assumed his identity. I am the real Vyke now, and I have fully accepted the frenzied flame
that’s not a theory, that’s just what happened.
I just reloaded my saved game.. in anticipation for the DLC. Ran into him at the evergaol and killed him. Cool to hear such a crazy story
It’s always the best ones that don’t get the end they deserve.
Bro literally skipped the main part of the lore for short 😭😂
I swear my blood pumps harder when I have to fight Vyke than most of the bosses. Dude will paste you in seconds
Vyke & rogier are the best NPCs hands down🙌. (Even though vyke tries to kill you..twice LOL. Love his whole character design & lore
He "communed" alright
Why did bro fuck a dragon😭🙏
You need to look up the word commune.
@@thally4061naw don't this is way funnier
They did it donkey style
Because Vyke is based 🗿
He wanted that dragussy
The dragon was able to take a human female form which her brother didn’t like lol.
My boy Vyke got busy with a dragon? Shitgoddamn!
Nah
You forgot to mention why he did what he did.
And why did he do what he did?
@@dec3142 because he didnt want to sacrifice his maiden as kindling.
@@mat6990 he must've had sexual relations with his maiden
@@mat6990tragic fate
Vyke got dat ancient draconic rizz
Relatable. I also accepted the Flame of Frenzy in order to save Melina's ass.
But I took the Needle to prevent the Lord of Flame ending
I like to think that Lansseax actually told Vyke about the Frenzied Flame after he encountered Shabriri and the truth of the finger maiden’s sacrifice, and he went to kill the source, unaware of its identity as the Three Fingers. Lansseax wanted to use this opportunity to deal with the Frenzied Flame once and for all, and asked Cyke to accept Shabriri’s invitation and get close to the Frenzied Flame. While he was conflicted on his choice through the descent about saving his finger maiden, when he opened the doors and saw the Three Fingers he hesitated, his mind trying to comprehend what it could mean and its connection to the Two Fingers in Roundtable Hold. That hesitation led to his capture and to be burned by the Frenzied Flame as he was wearing his armor when he was burned.
After surviving Vyke’s assassination attempt, the Three Fingers made the rule to completely strip before entering its chambers.
Vyke was able to resist, but would periodically give in to madness. The people of Liurnia tried to cure him, but he ended up infecting the village and killing his maiden. After this, he went to the Mountaintop where he sealed himself in an Evergaol, to prevent himself from becoming the Lord of Frenzy but still maintains his resistance as in his fight he doesn’t use any madness attacks.
In addition, his spear which inflicts madness was probably used to stab the Three Fingers, but failed to kill it. The flames from the Three Fingers infected his spear.
Lansseax then guards the outskirts of the capital to prevent any Tarnished from suffering the same fate of the depths.
He also has one of the coolest weapons in the game
Always liked the fingerprint armor, and vyke as a protagonist. His spear is decent, I particularly prefer it in PVP when the unexpecting invader succumbs to madness.
Also the fingerprint shield is the best greatshield in the game, although vyke doesn't use it.
Isn't his flesh intact because he messed up trying to become the Three Fingers' vessel? His armor is burned because he didn't know he needed to divest himself of all worldly possessions (strip naked) before interacting with the Three Fingers, thus causing the interaction to fail. This is why he still lost his maiden, right? Or maybe I'm missing something
Vyke is the reason the player has to strip naked, he managed to escape without become the vessel because of his armour protecting him enough to escape their hold
@@lockheartjuder5624 I’m not sure he was trying to escape, I think he was trying to succeed in becoming the three fingers’ vessel as that was technically a way his maiden wouldn’t have to die
@@MrBubs-yu4wm but the fingerprint are on his face and torso as if he was facing away when the finger grasped him but when a willing player does become the vessel he is grasped from the front and besides, there must be a reason as to why vyke has an armour that is marred when we are told explicitly that the three fingers refuses to see you if you have any clothes, vyke is probably the reason for that
@@lockheartjuder5624 the deal was “become the champion of the frenzy flame and you can save your maiden”
He wouldn’t try to screw that up, also pretty sure that the fingers can bend both ways so it could be him being grabbed from the other direction
Well even the 3 fingers didnt know the armor could fuck it up lmao. That's why the second time around the door wont open until your strip yourself naked
aka Dragonsmasher
Fr
Be a lot more convenient for us to have him scorch the tree instead of Melina
The lore makes the game that much more of a masterpiece.
His “weapon” the “ancient dragon spear,” eh? 😏
Lanseax: **rolls eyes** that’s a bit generous, but ok
Nah
Even if he canonically has sex regularly with lanseax, in my head canon he decides to take the path of the three fingers to save his maiden from burning herself. If i remember correctly it is said that "no one knows the reason he suddenly abandoned his duty" or something like that, so maybe he realized his maiden had to die for he to become the elden lord and decided not to do it
Yes. That is the plot
Which ironically led to his maiden’s death either by his hands or others.
You people are pdfs talking about having sex regularly between fictional characters for no reason and 0 lore about them
@@bovineintervention276 0 lore about them? Lmao bruh get your shit together
When did he say that Vyke did the dirty with a dragon?
More like a rock in the road for the true elden lord.
A dragon waifu gave him the title dragonspear, elden lord is a second place compared to that
So, technically, vyke didn't actually get burned, only his armour. Vyke didn't have a frenzied finger maiden (Like how we have hyetta) to tell him to take off his armour, so instead of inheriting the flame, he just kinda doesn't, and he loses his maiden anyway
No when you fight him it's obvious he's lost to madness and touched by the flame...
@@brandonvallier4214 Only the first time. The second time, he's free from Frenzy. That's the real Vyke.
Basically the equivalent of Oscar of Astora on the main cover of dark souls
John elden ring, the titular protagonist of hit game elden ring
But you got to mention the part where you can find him two different times, first in a church in the north side of Lee hernia as an invader where he uses frenzy incantations, and again inside of an ever jail in the mountain tops of the Giants where all he uses is ancient dragon lightning. Possibly hinting that after his fight with the tarnished player Vike somehow manages to cure himself of the flame, just as you can using miquella's needle
It’s explained that invading works outside of time and so he could be invading you from another world where he escapes the evergaol (or never gets put in there). That’s why you kill Anastasia the tarnished eater multiple times in multiple locations. In our world vyke is in the evergaol. We know that evergaols aren’t just places for spirits but their actual corporeal form resides there. Think back to blaidds quest where you go and kill darrowil. My theory is that he didn’t want to sacrifice his maiden or she was killed beforehand (we know she’s dead as she’s the dead maiden in the church of inhibition) so he became a vessel for the frenzied flame, as he was on his way to the forge of the giants to burn the erdtree he was captured and put in his evergaol.
@@stagenine4702So the Vyke that invades us is the Vyke that hasn't plucked out his Fingerprint Grape Eye and is still under the influence of Frenzy. When we find him the Evergaol, he has freed himself from that. Hence why he doesn't use Frenzy incantaions and is probably stronger, but due to his past actions has trapped himself, maybe as a penance.
Gives me major Luke Skywalker vibes, before we murk him.
I think vyke invades you from the time before he gets locked in the evergaol but after he gets touched by the frenzied flame and that the fact he doesn’t use frenzied flame incantations in the evergaol just happens to be because he can’t or because he just decides not to. I think it’s safe to say that when you kill someone as an invader they die but if you kill the invader they just go back to where they came from. Almost like they’re just spirits. More proof that invading works outside of time is that alberich invades you in roundtable hold but his charred remains can be found in the fortified manor in leyndell where you get his armor set as well. I don’t think it’s explicitly stated whether the raging wolf is dead after we arrive in the lands between but I think it’s pretty safe to assume so as he was one of the first tarnished to join the roundtable hold. If that’s the case I believe it’s because you help bernhal invade him or bernhal killed him whenever he inevitably invaded him without you.
Vyke will always be badass to me. He was giving me the works when I fought him
Vyke is definitely my favorite NPC.
“No other tarnished”
Playable character: dies to the grafted comes back then proceeds to die to tree sentinel 40 times
damn, bro was the true winner 😂
Vyke is probably the reason Morgott hates tarnished. It's clearly Vyke saw the Thorns - so Morgott allowed him to go to the Erdtree, and then Vyke contacted the Frenzied flame - no Morgott's seal blocked the path. And Vyke's downfall and becoming something that is clear danger to the Erdtree Morgott was deeply disappointed and made his goal to kill all tarnished who wants to become a lord, because even the most noble of them succumbed to the flames of ambition.
And that’s why I love the Frenzied Flame ending more than any other. It is by far the most fitting.
Loved this explanation, thank you! I wished the game explained things a bit more in narration or cutscenes, because I've literally played it for hundreds of hours and couldn't tell you any of this!
Yeah, cause there are many hours between story pieces and you simply forget what was before
Nah that’s on you, if you want lore you’re going to have to read some
Sorry vike I will carry on the legacy of the dragon cult for you may you find peace from the 3 fingers in death
Becoming a knight she love the most always feel weird like she had others
An important thing to add is that, considering that the Vyke in the evergaol is most likely the "real" Vyke and not the invader, he managed to cure himself of the Frenzied Flame. If he hadn't been locked away, he would have probably burnt the erdtree himself, cured himself, and then became Elden lord.
We need a powerful needle capable of stopping outer gods influence, and bring said needle to a land outside of time itself to cure ourselves, but Vyke did it himself. Now THAT is main character energy
"No other tarnished was closer to the throne than Vyke"
meanwhile foul tarnished claiming the throne
Vyke was close the the throne in the not int the sense that he almost claimed it but that he was the favored knight of the roundtable hold
"no OTHER tarnished"
All I want is to be able to put Vyke's dragonbolt on Vyke's weapon :'(

He was high off of the Rizz W
May chaos take the world !!
It’s crazy how FromSoft had the bulk of the story happen thousands of years before the events of the game yet there’s still so much to learn and still so much story to tell.
honestly, wouldve been dope if his gaol encounter dropped his original spear, being made of dragon material
Vyke was likely lured by the flame of frenzy in order to spare his maiden from being sacrificed to the fire giant cauldron. The three finger grasped him and his armor, inflicting him with madness.
Imagine if LetmeSoloher becomes a official protagonist of the game.
A bonus boss almost unbeatable
He was quite difficult to defeat.
I just wish Vyke got the Artorious treatment and had an incredible boss fight
Vyke inhenrited the flame of Frenzy in order to save his maiden, but it was against her will. Once he came back to her, she had already took her life.
I want to get his armor before it got crunched by the 3 fingers
Love these videos
Same here
Hes the man godrick wished he was
This is why i like Vyke, the man is an OG, a real deal badass.
Blud learned his stuff from Donkey
Badass, what a lad
Yeah he "communed" with the dragon's human forms so true
You are one the most enjoyable reactors and I’ve been waiting for your LOTR reaction.
Even if you watched it it doesn’t matter. It’s still very entertaining to see your perspective and thoughts on it
what is the song used ?
Think it's a variation of the Godskin duo boss theme.
So this is actually the Golden Shade version of Godfrey’s theme. It’s called Lord’s Apparition :)
**A warrior is coming to stole your Heart**
Is from the Dragon Cult: 🥰
From the Dragon Communion: 💀
Lore accurate
If you look closely at his armor set, the 3 fingers grasped him *from behind* meaning he regretted meeting them and tried to run away
His armor just became so much more awesome. Man I really gotta learn more lore😂
Can you do a video about the claymen
So he wanted to save his finger maiden but then sided with a world extinction faction? What was he thinking?😂
The most like amazing part of it was that he protects his maidens body cuz he loved her so much
So, us - the player characters, aren't the chosen ones? That is genuinely such a relief.
So.. Lansseax is single now, right?
Yes
Bros donkey from shrek
Vike: Clapper of dragon cheeks
Just a lil tid bit. Vyke wasn't the closest to becoming the elden lord, well he might be but its still up for debate but this assumption mostly came from the english translation making yet another oopsie. Apparently the Japanese version of the game instead describes him as being one of the few tarnished that managed to come close to becoming elden lord.
it was fortissax, not lansseax
Incorrect. It was Lansseax. Fortissax was the Dragon that Godwyn fought and eventually the two earned each other's respect. Hence when Godwyn was shanked by the black knives, Fortissax did his best to stave off death from Godwyn's physical body, becoming a Lichdragon in the process.
No, Lansseax is the sister of Fortissax that was the one that forged the peace between Leyndell and the Dragons.
It s a theory that he did not want to burn his maiden, just like us, gettting the flame upon him but due to circumstances or even himself his maiden dies. Which is why his mad spirit is still lingering around the place she died. (and invades us)
Furthermore he possibly stood before the eardtree, ready to burn it but either hesitated and did not want to make a decision so grand while influenced by the flame so he possibly locked himself away in the evergoal. Maybe Morgott got him eitherway he still resides at the evergoal, possibly unbeknownst to Lansseax who searches out any tarnished, especially in the center of the triangle drawn inbetween the 3 "hotspots" of the frenzy flame on altus where you ultmately defeat her so she never sees her beloved Vyke ever again, which you possibly also stumble across later in the icy mountaintops.
a small detail many people don’t know, his flesh gotten the burns, hence he didn’t become the lord of frenzied flame and therefore wasn’t able to burn the erd tree
So basically Arthur became a wanderer with Rhongomyniad
The cool thing is that Vyke keeps his madness in check. He is stuck in an evergaol near the mountaintop of the giants, but when you fight him, he shows no sign of madness. Only his phantom, found near a village plagued with madness, harbors madness. The real Vyke holds his sanity, waiting for someone to defeat him, and go further than he could, reaching the fire of the giants, and burning the erdtree.
I wish Vyke was more than just an obscure knight from the past, and could have been a real cool NPC to talk to and summon, maybe even complete his questline, plus he is super hot under that armor! 😍😆
He was able to fight the frenzied flames influence which could be the reason why we're required to remove our armor to be accepted by them
Yes... "Commune"
Woah I didn’t know that The Tarnished were originally part of Marika’s army! I love the lore in this game it’s so cool. To be honest I haven’t beaten it yet I keep starting over to try new characters and builds lol I’m committing to this playthrough for the DLC.
"Communed"
Man, this guy would be great friends with Imrik from warhammer
He also removed his own eye while imprisoned to stop the frenzy’s influence.
Love her sleep wear its so cozy!😄
Black knife tiche was nearly at the level to defeat the eldin beast, was specifically training to beat it, when black knife died that's why that summon works so well on fighting the eldin beast. Black knife style and ability was perfected for killing the eldin beast.
They could probably make a entire TV show about Vyke if they decided to.
“There’s no law against dragons, Batman”
Bernhald makes it to farum azula without any assistance and was in the way to fight Maliketh when we find him making him far closer to the throne than Vyke.
Marika's army: "QUEEN MARIKA! WE HAVE DESTROYED YOUR ENEMIES!"
Marika: "Yall banished lol"
This lore lmao
But we know that's not the end of vyke. He's found later in a gaol, with fingerprints on him but no frenzy flame.
"Drussy got me acting up with the frenzied flame."
-Vyke the Drussy Spearer
Vyke reached the thorn wall right after the morgott fight and learned that he had to sacrifice his maiden to continue further. Be it of love, duty or something else he sought a different way to reach the elden ring i.e the frenzied flame. Right after inheriting it however, he found his maiden dead either in a suicidal act or killed by someone. He then got imprisoned in am eversol prison, only leaving his body to wander the snowy fields
