Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. There its a bonfire on top of the bank that some guards are using to cook rats. Unfortunately you can't take the sword, but hey, free rats.
what about the one you find in borderlands 2? after you survive going through some acid in the caustic caverns you see a gun buried in an unlit bonfire and solitaire
Actually Oxtra, did you know Luke hides a bonfire behind his desk in the office? It’s the reason he keeps coming back after getting lost, or left behind, or locked in a confined space, or attacked by Andy, or attacked by Ellen, or experimented on by Jane while he was sleeping that one time, or thrown off a cliff that one time he wasn’t paying attention.
Borderlands 2, Caustic Caverns, has a Dark Souls bonfire as an Easter egg. You have to cross a stretch of acidic water to reach it but if you have enough health or resistances you can get to it.
Came here to say this one! Never played DS so I didn’t get it first time I saw it, but it gave me a sensible chuckle after finding out the bonfire thing.
EDIT: Now that they've edited the title to be "bonfires found in other games", my "weirdly located bonfire in Dark Souls 3" no longer makes sense... Actually, there was a REALLY weird one, INSIDE a Dark Souls game! In Dark Souls 3, most of the bosses drop a Bonfire in their arena upon defeat. This on its own isn't hugely unusual for DS3, up until right after the Dragonslayer Armor boss fight because right beyond his boss room, where he just dropped a bonfire, is another bonfire. No dangerous trek. Just a bonfire literally within sight of another bonfire. It's like a really bad "What's behind this mask? Another mask!" joke.
@@Blandy8521 I think it was an oversight. Maybe the devs decided "Let's have every boss drop a bonfire, the key bosses are all at dead ends anyway so this will help the player a little, especially if they barely survived." And then forgot they had a bonfire just beyond Dragonslayer Armor's boss room leading up to the locked door that you need a specific key for and only a Blackhand NPC has it.
And it is hidden quite well, because who else would go beyond the edge of map through lake of acid when game teaches you that leaving map gets you one-shot by Dahl turret posts?
There's a bonfire easter egg in a lake of acid in Borderlands 2's Caustic Caverns. There's also an NPC named "Solitaire" sitting on a rock nearby who creepily laughs anytime you talk to him, just like most Dark Souls NPCs.
Fun fact this list happened because I found the one in A Plague Tale and asked Luke "How have you and/or Mike not forced us do a list on all these bonfires before? hahaha" and then I couldn't stop him - E
@@outsidextra Now I hope Mike's offspring is a boy because I can imagine him walking around the house screaming "Praise the son!". What is he like, eh?
At first, thought the title said "7 weird places you found a Dark Soul" "Well it was freezing cold outside this one night... anni foundbthis DARK REALLY weird book. An I burned part of it...."
I really must play more Borderlands. Tiny Tina is my Spirit Animal. She's so adorably homicidal. I also like Solaire, so looks like I'm going to Bug City. Acid... Yaaaay...
right? Lol like it's near future Earth, not super super future. In fact there was a segment on some channel where they said the great majority of OW tech could be made in real life. And some are super simple like Cassidy's Six shooter of course and Solider's pulse rifle. But most of the stuff we have now a days or could if you put enough money into it. XD and yeah the sword comment lol
@@TJR-hs2dj It always makes me happy to find new stuff even now - the other day I found a ghoul merchant I'd never seen before, as well as a pile of raider corpses with Pickman's calling cards on their bodies that were a long way from Pickman's gallery.
@@DucklynStark That pile of bodies seems to be a permanent fixture so you can find them before you've even met the guy. He obviously likes to get out and about, the scamp.
My favorite is the one in Monster Hunter: World. Although, its gameplay reminds me more of Sekiro what with all the running away from giant reptiles and gratuitous amount of grappling hook points.
@@outsidextra Well dang - TIL that "catapult' is the generic term for "thing that throw heavy rock far," and what I've always thought of as a "catapult" is more likely an "onager". Thanks, Ellen - I sit corrected!
Borderlands 2! There's literally a whole side quest when Tiny Tina DMs a game of Bunkers & Badasses where you go around lighting bonfires with a fire weapon and help a "player" get his souls back from an online invader!
There's also the one in Caustic Caverns after you get rid of the Regoliths. Cross the pool of acid with enough health and resistance, and there's a campfire with a gun sticking out of it and a ghostly NPC that disappears if you get too far away.
Fun fact, you saved and progressed time in the first Witcher game via a bonfire and if it wasn't lit you had to lite it with flint if I remember correctly. So the nod to dark souls is also in a way a nod to the first Witcher game.
It's crazy how much you all bring to the table just sitting in a chair and taking the piss. Ellen's outtro reminded me of that and made me realize this video (and probably more before it) have just been game clips and the occasional clip from a livestream when times were better. I can't wait until this pandemic is long behind us. I hope you all are safe during these times! The easter egg in Nuka-World was my favorite, such a good DLC with a catchy tune.
In Borderlands 2, in the Caustic Caverns, there's a Bonfire, along with the Knight "Solitaire" as a reference to Solaire. There's also multiple references in the Assault on Dragon's Keep DLC. In Doom Eternal, in Taras Nabad, there's a hidden bonfire tucked in a corner. Fitting enough.
Just last week I was halfway through engagement before marrying my fiance, and I thought about a video idea; What about weird/odd Marriage proposals in games? Not like real world people proposing, but the characters themselves? You guys and gals are awesome, keep up the great work!
Dark souls bonfires are typically used as a story telling device. Their placement gives us clues about past events in the area, like the ones in the tomb of giants, or the one in front of the Everlasting Dragon. As bonfires can be credited and moved ( see cut content for DS3 ) a " strange " place to find one is telling you a story.
How about in Dark Souls 3 where they have one just appear after every boss is beaten, whether a Lord of Cinder or not, and some of them are meet feet away from bonfires that were already there? It also makes me wonder, if a bonfire is made by sacrificing an undead with a Coiled Sword, and the bonfires themselves are actually linked to the First Flame (hence how you're able to bottle Estus in your flask, estus being Latin for "warmth" and being described as liquid sunlight), how is the sword connected to the Flame? Who made them? And most importantly, who's been going around pinning undead to the ground with them?
I believe last time I played Kingdom come deliverance there is a bonfire with a sword in it west of Skalitz. I saw a fire with a sword in it on a path hidden in the woods
In Aragami, a Japanese-style stealth game where you play as an undead ninja, there’s a small and unassuming cave mouth off to one side in one of the levels. Teleport inside and you’ll find a lit bonfire with a sword stuck in it, with a withered corpse slumped lifelessly before it. I found that easter egg when playing co-op with my buddy, and we both loved the reference.
Finally I can help out and use my long awaited knowledge that there is a bonfire on the roof of the bank in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider! Now I can finally remove that from my memory and leave room for more knowledge of lore from Dark Souls. Yay...?
In Bordrlands 2, there is a bonfire in the Caustic Caverns, an NPC named Solitaire with it, and I believe an in game "Badass Challenge" for getting there as it is very hard to do so.
One that i think is worth noting is the Borderlands 2 Dark Souls bonfire, if you go to the Underground area from where sanctuary used to be, there is a giant acid area, but when you get near one corner of the map you can see a platform barely in sight, if you can survive the treck through the acid water, you find an NPC next to a bonfire
In Borderlands 2, while in Caustic Caverns, if you can cross a lake of acidic...acid to a remote island in the distant, there's a bonfire where a familiar face sits, resting and I presume contemplating how he found himself in a game with a bazillion guns and no one praising the sun.
Is it weird that I expected all of these to just be in Dark Souls itself, just a bunch of places where nobody would ever set up an ordinary bonfire, like, poorly-ventilated caves and the like?
Dead Cells has a fun little one. When you discover the hidden room with the bonfire, the words "Git Gud" are written on the wall. When you interact with the bonfire you get the text "This campfire was abandoned by an earlier visitor...." and then "I'm sure it couldn't hurt to take a little rest." After you hear a rumbling and get "Hmm. Something's changed." At which point you get mobbed by a load of enemies at the entrance of the secret room.
It's the same sword you got after beating the game's first boss, but couldn't use as a sword and had to stab into the bonfire at Firelink Shrine to reignite it.
In Dead Cells, there are optional passageway in the levels. Sometimes, one of these bring you to a small cave with a Dark Soul bonfire. If you activate it, make a monster appear (they look like undead) and, when you kill it, it gives a lot more dead cells than normal!
My favourite hidden bonfire is in Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. In the second to last level, Myogi Pass, there's a hidden wall that disappears if you approach it with a torch. Upon stepping foot inside the newly opened cave, you find a burnt out bonfire. Press the interact button and your character will light it. Tadaaa.
In Hellpoint there’s a bonfire hidden in the Union Park area. Being a soulslike it makes sense to have a nod to Dark Souls, but as the game is set on a space station it definitely stands out
In Paladins Zhin has an emote where he thrusts his flaming sword into the ground, then places his hand out to light it Dark Souls-style, before kneeling over to kindle it. It's not exactly a weird place to find a bonfire, being a fantasy setting itself, but I still appreciate that the character with a flaming sword would make such an easy reference.
What I love most about this is at the end when Ellen seems to be able to crack herself up with no one else in the room. Reminds me of the ancient sofa days. Remember those?
Just found this one yesterday, in chapter 5 of Aragami there is a hidden bonfire you have to blink to through a small cave opening, even comes with a ghost that sits at the fire
The weirdest place I found a Dark Souls Bonfire was in Borderlands 2. It was on a tiny island on a subterranean lake filled with acid. I also found a Minecraft cave in that same area, that came with Creepers. I'd rather take the acid filled swim to reach a bonfire over fighting those sneaky jerks.
Oh, so you can just run up in fallen order? I was running up the other way, that jump, get the rope, turn back jump again to get some height (no double jump) and run between walls. Took me 40 minutes to get there. But I did in the end.
World of Warcraft, Legion Expansion, Stormheim Zone -> Helheim minizone, middle-north part of The Eternal Battlefield area, there's a ring of weapons wreathed in fog and in the middle, and bonfire with a sword.
What about that one amazing gun in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequal, which you can only pull out if you have a sufficiently high enough Badass Rank? Might be more King Arthur, though, admittedly...
So the Bonfire in Nuka-World gives stimpacks? Nice, thanks for the tip! And these were some pretty amusing Easter Eggs -- I particularly liked the Just Cause 3 one with the gun variation. XD
Indie game Hellpoint has a dark souls bonfire in the Union Park area of the Alma Mater Atrium. Being that the setting is a space station orbiting a black-hole, it’s a bit of a strange location for a bonfire.
Since the Jedi Fallen Order easter egg Bonefire Darks Souls i have few to mention here aswell... Actually 3 interesting Sites of 3 big games aswell : 1) Sekiro Shadows Die Twice : There is a Bonefire at Hirata Estate where you pick up the Flame Vent reminicent to Dark Souls Bonefire or else why would the Tool be in there burning 😅 It's as if the Infamous Coiled Sword refference tool to use. 2) Nioh/Nioh 2 : The Revanent Graves have the iconic Bonefire with the Coil Sword to it , i'm pretty sure that's Obvious 3) Ghost Of Tsushima : Actually the 3rd Act Freezing Mountain , which contains the Undying Flame Bonefire ( This is a ever-burning Bonefire on its own located on top of the mountain near a small shack , However after you defeat the Mystic Art Boss to learn the Incendiary Oil ) You could then Buff half of your Katana with Flames , as a flaming sword. Reminicent to the Coiled Sword how it has a scorching Hot Red glow on the upper half of the Coiled Sword ( Kinda like Jin Sakai's Katana when he buffs it with the Flaming Oil that he learned in Act 3 ) *That's a Spoiler aswell* *Note* : In Dark Souls 3 , the Coiled Sword that you get from defeating the 1st Boss Iudex Gundyr is a sword that has a twisted Coil as its Blade ( Within the Blade , the lower half portion of the blade is Dark Black or Grey as in Steel... the other upper half up untill the tip of the Sword there's a Orange-Redish glow to it , as it has been half covered within the Flaming Bonefire ). *Resulting to that Scorching upper half of the Coiled Sword , this could explain the refference behind Ghost of Tsushima Jin Sakai's Flame Katana Buff that he learns at the End of the Game..... There's also that Undying Flame Bonefire atop of the Mountain in Ghost of Tsushima , as if the Undying Kindled Bonefire in Dark Souls 3 Hub Area when you attach the Coil Sword* Let me know what you think 😉
Sonic Robo Blast 2, a Sonic fangame that has been in development since 1998, using a modified version of the Doom Legacy engine, has a Dark Souls bonfire show up during Castle Eggman Zone.
Can you think of any other Dark Souls bonfires spotted in other games? Shout in the comments if so, and enjoy! -OX
Plants vs zombies gw2
On seeds of time go behind one of the houses looking over the cliff and the bonfire is there
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. There its a bonfire on top of the bank that some guards are using to cook rats.
Unfortunately you can't take the sword, but hey, free rats.
In Dead Cells one of the random hidden rooms you can get is a Dark Souls bonfire completed with a corpse and a "Git gud" message on the wall.
what about the one you find in borderlands 2? after you survive going through some acid in the caustic caverns you see a gun buried in an unlit bonfire and solitaire
In Monster Hunter World/Iceborne -behind the 1st base camp in elder recess there's a darksouls bonfire.
Actually Oxtra, did you know Luke hides a bonfire behind his desk in the office?
It’s the reason he keeps coming back after getting lost, or left behind, or locked in a confined space, or attacked by Andy, or attacked by Ellen, or experimented on by Jane while he was sleeping that one time, or thrown off a cliff that one time he wasn’t paying attention.

Borderlands 2, Caustic Caverns, has a Dark Souls bonfire as an Easter egg. You have to cross a stretch of acidic water to reach it but if you have enough health or resistances you can get to it.
I was wondering if someone mentioned that
Came here to mention this too.
and in Tina's DLC as well, with the Lost Souls side quest.
Was literally about to comment the same thing lol
Only recently discovered this one! It's a whole island! With ghosts!
The bonfire in Dead Cells with "Git Gud" written on the wall
I was just about to mention that one
Dead cells is so damn fun
Found that when doing a half-life run. Was the merging of two fantastic games
@@zoroman121 Considering Dead Cells is basically Metroidvania Dark Souls, the reference is very fitting
Yes that one is amazing.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. A bonfire on a bank
Came here to say this one! Never played DS so I didn’t get it first time I saw it, but it gave me a sensible chuckle after finding out the bonfire thing.
AND it even autosaves your game if you approach. (+Bonecharm found nearby!)
EDIT: Now that they've edited the title to be "bonfires found in other games", my "weirdly located bonfire in Dark Souls 3" no longer makes sense...

@@azuredragoon2054 so the "extra" bonfire is behind the locked door? Maybe the locked door is why?
@@marhawkman303 No, it's in the area leading to the locked door.
@@paladin181 oh... ok that's weird.
Little surprised that the one in Borderlands 2 wasn’t on the list! Not only do you get the bonfire, but you even get visited by 2 spirits
Not to mention the spirits name is solitaire
I know! I was quite disappointed that one was overlooked.
And it is hidden quite well, because who else would go beyond the edge of map through lake of acid when game teaches you that leaving map gets you one-shot by Dahl turret posts?
Also in the tiny Tina DLC there is a dark souls side quest.
In caustic caverns also having a minecraft reference
"In a rat-infested battlefield"
I mean, that's a Dark Souls location if I've ever heard of one.
There's a bonfire easter egg in a lake of acid in Borderlands 2's Caustic Caverns. There's also an NPC named "Solitaire" sitting on a rock nearby who creepily laughs anytime you talk to him, just like most Dark Souls NPCs.
And "Solitaire" is pretty close to "Solaire"
I was just coming to comment this. Wasn't there also a trophy/achievement attached?
Luke: "Geralt, where the hell is Grandma?"
Subtitle: "In a rat infested battlefield."
My brain: "I hope she brought plenty of mince pies."
Geralt was a little late... he found her false teeth. the rest, not so much.
"Red Bean? Geralt, where the hell is grandma?"
That got me 😂😂
I have to admit, I was not expecting to hear Ellen's voice at the start of a Dark Souls video.

3:17 Well, someone did. He's called Soul of Cinder
and you can use his soul to get your own!
There's a toy in World Of Warcraft called Wayfarer's Bonfire, and when you use it, it places down a Dark Souls fire. Sword and all.
At first, thought the title said "7 weird places you found a Dark Soul"
"Well it was freezing cold outside this one night... anni foundbthis DARK REALLY weird book. An I burned part of it...."
Inside a Game of DnD (well, technically BnB) in Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina's Assualt on Dragon Keep DLC
I think I got this one mixed up with the caustic caverns one as well. I guess they REALLY like dark souls.
The one in Caustic Caverns is really well done. Ghostly armored hunters appear around it when the bonfire is lit.
Oh, right! I'd forgotten about that Easter egg! Since the Tiny Tina's DLC one is part of a side quest, it's just more memorable
Also can we just take moment to consider what a brilliant name "Bunkers & Badasses" are!
I really must play more Borderlands. Tiny Tina is my Spirit Animal.
She's so adorably homicidal.
I also like Solaire, so looks like I'm going to Bug City.

It wasn’t particularly “weird,” but sometimes a bonfire will appear in Dead Cells! If I remember correctly, it was also quite humorous.
"There's an inscription carved into this wall in an ancient tongue...'GIT GUD'"

There is one in a hidden room in DeadCells, along with a dead knight.

It’s awesome how many games from other developers show their love for the Souls/Borne franchise.
Does on my leg count? Gotta love tattoos
I have the bonfire tattooed on my left shin from ankle to knee. LOVE IT!!
@R H kind fellow oxtra fan, I don't get tattoos either but no need to be a hater

With the sword in it and the way he genuflects instead of his standard kneeling.... It is more a DS ref.
They should have put an ancient jedi sword enchanted with the light side in the bonfire you can take as a unique weapon
Or even a really old vibroblade would've worked.

I saw it too and at first I wasn’t sure, so I called my brother in (he’s played all of the souls game) and assured me it was
Is it weird that I expected all of these to just be in Dark Souls itself, just a bunch of places where nobody would ever set up an ordinary bonfire, like, poorly-ventilated caves and the like?
or that one jungle where there's so many plants that you'd expect it to burn the foliage...
That was my first thought.
Dead Cells has a fun little one. When you discover the hidden room with the bonfire, the words "Git Gud" are written on the wall. When you interact with the bonfire you get the text "This campfire was abandoned by an earlier visitor...." and then "I'm sure it couldn't hurt to take a little rest." After you hear a rumbling and get "Hmm. Something's changed." At which point you get mobbed by a load of enemies at the entrance of the secret room.
"Guess who else played dark souls"
Me : MIKE !!!!
I mean, to be fair, there *is* a bonfire sword weapon you get from beating the final boss of base game dark souls 3
It's the same sword you got after beating the game's first boss, but couldn't use as a sword and had to stab into the bonfire at Firelink Shrine to reignite it.
This is the content I subscribe for! Much love for dark souls ❤️
In Dead Cells, there are optional passageway in the levels. Sometimes, one of these bring you to a small cave with a Dark Soul bonfire. If you activate it, make a monster appear (they look like undead) and, when you kill it, it gives a lot more dead cells than normal!
That Jedi fallen order is just a normal campfire
Me watching the spoilers section.
Fallout 4
Me: O_O how did I miss that after all these years!? Even the epic Nate didn't mention that!!
I find it strange how Solaire has the catchphrase “Praise the sun!” Even though he never said those words ever. Only in ThePruld.
Well, it's the name of the gesture that he performs when we summon him.
@@Darkprosper Yeah and he also teaches it to you
@@charbel2750 No, you learn it from the sunbro covenant.
My favourite hidden bonfire is in Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. In the second to last level, Myogi Pass, there's a hidden wall that disappears if you approach it with a torch.
Upon stepping foot inside the newly opened cave, you find a burnt out bonfire. Press the interact button and your character will light it. Tadaaa.
In Hellpoint there’s a bonfire hidden in the Union Park area. Being a soulslike it makes sense to have a nod to Dark Souls, but as the game is set on a space station it definitely stands out
Isn't Star Wars technically set in the past? So the bonfire there would be from the future.
In Paladins Zhin has an emote where he thrusts his flaming sword into the ground, then places his hand out to light it Dark Souls-style, before kneeling over to kindle it. It's not exactly a weird place to find a bonfire, being a fantasy setting itself, but I still appreciate that the character with a flaming sword would make such an easy reference.
Well done in Disconnected Ellen!!!
What I love most about this is at the end when Ellen seems to be able to crack herself up with no one else in the room. Reminds me of the ancient sofa days. Remember those?
Just found this one yesterday, in chapter 5 of Aragami there is a hidden bonfire you have to blink to through a small cave opening, even comes with a ghost that sits at the fire
OMG!
I didin't know you were talking about in DIFFERENT games!
That is awesome!
7:08 I see grandma came out the natural way.
Okay list. Thanks for uploading!
The weirdest place I found a Dark Souls Bonfire was in Borderlands 2. It was on a tiny island on a subterranean lake filled with acid. I also found a Minecraft cave in that same area, that came with Creepers. I'd rather take the acid filled swim to reach a bonfire over fighting those sneaky jerks.
Oh, so you can just run up in fallen order? I was running up the other way, that jump, get the rope, turn back jump again to get some height (no double jump) and run between walls. Took me 40 minutes to get there. But I did in the end.
World of Warcraft, Legion Expansion, Stormheim Zone -> Helheim minizone, middle-north part of The Eternal Battlefield area, there's a ring of weapons wreathed in fog and in the middle, and bonfire with a sword.
What about that one amazing gun in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequal, which you can only pull out if you have a sufficiently high enough Badass Rank? Might be more King Arthur, though, admittedly...
Given that it's named the "Excalibastard" it's probably that second one. 😉
@@TheLastGarou Yes, but you still pull it from a pile of embers! If I'm recalling correctly... been a while...
@@CD-Gaming I *think* it's a grave.🤔
Well, you know what this means: time for another playthrough! 🥳
So the Bonfire in Nuka-World gives stimpacks? Nice, thanks for the tip! And these were some pretty amusing Easter Eggs -- I particularly liked the Just Cause 3 one with the gun variation. XD
Indie game Hellpoint has a dark souls bonfire in the Union Park area of the Alma Mater Atrium. Being that the setting is a space station orbiting a black-hole, it’s a bit of a strange location for a bonfire.
We need a best grappling hooks video. The grappling hooks from just cause, terraria, and jet island would be my top choices
Since the Jedi Fallen Order easter egg Bonefire Darks Souls i have few to mention here aswell... Actually 3 interesting Sites of 3 big games aswell :
1) Sekiro Shadows Die Twice : There is a Bonefire at Hirata Estate where you pick up the Flame Vent reminicent to Dark Souls Bonefire or else why would the Tool be in there burning 😅 It's as if the Infamous Coiled Sword refference tool to use.
2) Nioh/Nioh 2 : The Revanent Graves have the iconic Bonefire with the Coil Sword to it , i'm pretty sure that's Obvious
3) Ghost Of Tsushima : Actually the 3rd Act Freezing Mountain , which contains the Undying Flame Bonefire ( This is a ever-burning Bonefire on its own located on top of the mountain near a small shack , However after you defeat the Mystic Art Boss to learn the Incendiary Oil ) You could then Buff half of your Katana with Flames , as a flaming sword. Reminicent to the Coiled Sword how it has a scorching Hot Red glow on the upper half of the Coiled Sword ( Kinda like Jin Sakai's Katana when he buffs it with the Flaming Oil that he learned in Act 3 ) *That's a Spoiler aswell*
*Note* : In Dark Souls 3 , the Coiled Sword that you get from defeating the 1st Boss Iudex Gundyr is a sword that has a twisted Coil as its Blade ( Within the Blade , the lower half portion of the blade is Dark Black or Grey as in Steel... the other upper half up untill the tip of the Sword there's a Orange-Redish glow to it , as it has been half covered within the Flaming Bonefire ). *Resulting to that Scorching upper half of the Coiled Sword , this could explain the refference behind Ghost of Tsushima Jin Sakai's Flame Katana Buff that he learns at the End of the Game..... There's also that Undying Flame Bonefire atop of the Mountain in Ghost of Tsushima , as if the Undying Kindled Bonefire in Dark Souls 3 Hub Area when you attach the Coil Sword* Let me know what you think 😉
Sonic Robo Blast 2, a Sonic fangame that has been in development since 1998, using a modified version of the Doom Legacy engine, has a Dark Souls bonfire show up during Castle Eggman Zone.
You don't need any roller coasters in Dark Souls because playing the game is a roller coaster of emotions.
11:13 literally I just thought the same thing.
