Imagine visiting Milan Cathedral with your family and then getting hit by an Anor Londo archer.
Instictively hide behind pillars.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
I went there, and got to go on the roof. Silver Knight Archers everywhere.
@@martk647 I think if you got PTSD from that, you'll do it automatically
And somehow not dying from it, then standing up like you're perfectly fine.
This is why I never go sightseeing without a halberd and a suitcase full of titanite.

That crystal halberd though
Don't forget a full jug of estus
halberd for life

Blighttown is based on the everyday London streets
+ElJosho
Even the NPCs are modeled after the people living there.
+ElJosho Does it get laggy in London too?
+Adam J He's probably referring to the framerate. I really wish people used the proper terms for these things...
***** This comment I found on the Steam forums sums this up perfectly:
"Lag is a common word meaning to fail to keep up or to fall behind.
Lag is also often used in reference to video games to describe the delay (or latency) between an action by a player and the reaction of the game.
so by the definition alone.....anything that slows the game whether it be internet or not....is LAG"
" "Lag" is perfectly applicable to frame rate, as in, the rendered frames are lagging behind the actions performed."
So, using "laggy" in this context is definitely a "proper term for these things". If you know a word that describes low framerate in a more "proper" manner, then please let me know ;)
So is bloodborne
Holy shit! That crystal cave!
the naica caves in mexico

oh no, i hate goldens golems.
There's some blue titanite hiding in there, I just know it!
hope i dont find man eating oysters there
I actually really respect their use of real locations. It explains why some zones do feel so human, but grand at the same time. Rather than making something so outlandish you feel taken aback they give you something real that is so grand it fits right into the rest of their world.
Their use of real locations is the first thing they would do. In design, it's called 'reference'. They'll take a lot of pictures, put it together and create a moodboard for a specific area they like to design. It would be really hard and would take a long time if you'll try to make something that's not real or inspired from reality. I work in concept design, and one of the things we would take into consideration are things that are familiar and something what we can easily identify ourselves in.

The last place is Craco Vecchia (Italy, Basilicata). It is a small village initially abandoned around the 60s and finally in 1980 after an earthquake that caused parts of the city to collapse. Today it is called "ghost town". When I first visited it a few weeks ago, as I approached I thought "Wow I'm in Dark Souls". The video does not do justice to what you find when you arrive: crows flying over abandoned and destroyed buildings, the disturbing silence of a place where other people used to live and where now everything is motionless and still in time and finally a small cemetery near the city, with its lighted candles. I felt a sense of awe and uneasiness but at the same time I felt at home. Unfortunately I did not find any bonfires
I was not expecting to see the Crystal Cave in real life, that's amazing.
it´s here in México, it´s called Naica cave
@@shiroumxm2052 TIL Seth lives in México
Maybe I'm just weird. But when I see old buildings and all the stones, bricks, and mortar in these obscure locations, I can't help but always think about the fact that those physically had to be built. I just get vivid images of people actually needing to form those bricks and stones somewhere, hauling them to these locations and physically building them brick by brick. The amount of man power and time it took to make things in older times was enormous. I dunno, whatever.
+Flowmasta Flam Same here bro
meh i dunno. no big deal whateva
Eric Stilthool - Easy to say until you spend a very long time making something incredibly easy by these standards.
Many people still look at certain ancient structures today and believe there was no humanly possible way to have built them without some grossly misunderstood method at the time. That is how hard they were. Complex enough that we still haven't discovered how they did it.
Eric Stilthool Yeah right, revolutionary... You know what Hertz said when asked about the ramifications of discovering radiowaves?
"Nothing, I guess. [...] It's of no use whatsoever."
Shows what he knew. Up until the 19th century, scientists still thought electricity and magnetism were completely separate things. Newton's gravitational theory had flaws. Einstein's alternative has flaws. Gravity doesn’t fit in with the universe’s other three fundamental forces: the electromagnetic, the weak, and the strong. To date, gravitons are still undetectable.
More to the point, what the fuck has this got to do with ancient buildings? We saw the effects of waves, it adds evidence to theories. This means nothing. You don't need to quote a guardian article that has been _"corrected"_ to argue a point. I have no idea what you are trying to say, did first nation people have telekinesis? We know very little about how they cut rock so cleanly, we know even less about gravity.
No, I immediately rewound many parts of the video because I couldn't believe that these marvelous ancient buildings existed and were built by man, yet for some reason they were abandoned.
real life needs a better lighting engine
Yes
better shaders is what real life truly needs.
Ye
It needs better graphics in general m8

Woah! This is so cool. I had no idea it was based on real places.

Yooooo karl rock love your contents
@@xpired9548 Yup, gonna skip 2 and go to 3 now.
I love it when video games base their locations on real places. It's one of the very few things in games that hasn't changed since the very beginning, and that makes me very happy.
i Live in Milano, Italy...you can't imagine how i felt the first time i arrived at Anor Londo in my first playthrough of Dark Souls
i immediately thought that it had to be inspired by the Duomo...the only thing missing is the golden statue on top representing the virgin Mary (vergine Maria / madonna in italian[yes..madonna like the singer])
Per attimo e sembrata Milano anche me.....poi ho visto il sole e non la nebbia e ho capito che non poteva essere XD
Well, since Dark Souls exists in an alternate universe, it would make sense that catholic symbolism and other VERY specific religious symbols would not exist as well.
Milano, Italy. As opposed to Milano, New York?
Not everyone knows where Milano is; and a lot of people don't read the description of the videos..therefore specifying is allways a good idea.
Also: there are more than one place in the world called Milan/Milano..so yeah, not a bad idea to be precise

I've been in the Crystal Cave, also called Las Minas de Naica, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The temperature there is above 50 C. It's practically imposible to take pictures with a conventional camera or cellphone because of the high humidity, as it fogs the lens. Currently, the mine is closed due to a flood that occurred years ago, but I remember seeing a little bench with an inscription: "the house of Superman" just before the actual selenite mine entrance. It's such a magical place that I wish I could visit once again.
No windmill with volcano at the top in real life?

I really love how well the Souls/Borne games integrate art history to inform and reinforce the lore, worldbuilding, and sometimes storytelling. If there's anything I gained from my art education, it's a deeper appreciation for the art direction choices of these games lol
The real undead Parish creeps me out.
Bobby Flay it has a really interesting story: the town of parangaricutiro was buried in lava like one century ago, and the only structure that remain to this days is the ship of the church, and even only half of it. Is a really beatiful place, and even you can visit the volcano that did all the mess.

I think capcom thought you said these places were local to you

1:30 in Michoacán, Mexico, there's a place called Parandicuturo, where in 1945 a whole volcano explode, and it looks a lot similar with this place, in fact, the chucrh is the only "stable" build (sorry for my english, its not my native language)

Can’t believe they built this stuff to look like Dark Souls
Yeah it's crazy
See’s anor londo: “gets flash backs to the 2 archers that killed me more than gwyn”
Ive been through that area about 6 times and have not died once to them. Just get a big shield (like eagle shield shield) remove armour to run faster, run with raised shield all the way to the ledge theyre on, then run up to archer on right with shield raised, stay as close as possible to ledge and then he should fall off, if he doesnt just kick him off

Excarir The name of the dragon is Seath. The location is called Crystal Cave.
It's a giant cave in Mexico. Its beautiful but extremely dangerous. It's 300 meters deep and 27 meters long. The humidity in that cave is so high it can go to 90% - 99% and the temperature goes up to 58°C (Sorry if I can't tell you in Fahrenheit). It's a beautiful yet scary place. Workers can only be down there for approximately half an hour to avoid serious damage by the conditions. They need to wear a special suit with O2 Tanks. Idk if this interests you but look it up on Google if you want. It's called the Naica Cave.
@@waveburner1254 Dude thats interesting, thanks. For sure Its no place for life to flourish, exept for microorganisms maybe. Still a beatiful sight
@@borutaicho No problem friend. I agree with you, the world is a beautiful yet scary place. If anything could live in that cave that would be an awesome discovery.

Just one of the best videos out there
I absolutely love it when fantasy and reality overlaps eachother.
This made me shiver.
Beautiful! Thank you.
1:40 Reminds me of New Londo.
Absolutely Breathtaking
I would love to go to that cemetary on a foggy day, put on some armor that's been weathered and looks very old and used, then just wait for tourists to come through.
Just walk through the fog slowly and as quietly as possible in the distance, see how many people notice. You might be able to scare a few, or start a rumor of the place being haunted by some old knight.
Wow! I’d love to see more of these
man, your editing skills are awesome

It's all insane.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Wasn't aware that Dark Souls had real life inspired locations.
The Anor Londo one was simply amazing!
This video is eerie as fuck
Welcome to Dark Souls.
Imagine going to the Milan Cathedral dressed up as giant dad
This makes me want and movie more than I thought I did
When they showed Izalith I was like “tf they gonna show irl? Hell?”
1:08 one of these grave has Zweihandler
Beautiful and timeless
dark souls really had a fantasy world like no other. it remained extravagant without relying on magic in a world full of it. theres no boss fight or dilapidated city on top the clouds like in the later games, everything is accounted for within the logic of our reality. the boulders that torment you in sens fortress are dropped not from a magic box but from a giant. the massive moving staircases in the dukes archives are twisted by pulling a lever. elden ring was such a departure from the grounded nature of the souls series. elevators just float now.
Now imagine you are chilling walking with your family talking about the vacation until you say -
"Why do I hear boss music?"
Out of all the locations in Dark souls to exist in real life, the crystal cave is the last one I would have expected
That graveyard was surreal
Remember kids, never go near strange fog while sightseeing unless supervised by Solaire
Guys i live in Milan, don’t get too close to the Duomo or you might get shot by silver archers
Wtf is up with your view sub ratio it's all outta wack
+megazion34 Real answer? A LOT of his videos are posted to Reddit and get popular there.
So things like this have a normal sub-viewer ratio (About 1/2 views to subs) while others blow up on Reddit and get hundreds of thousands really quickly.
+fortris thanks had no idea :)
VesbaV Actually 1/2 views to subs is standard, not all subs watch all videos (not interested, non-active accounts, etc).
His original comment was asking how some of his videos have literally millions of views since his sub count is under 40,000. Those ones are posted on Reddit where tons of people see them, but don't subscribe.
All vids from this channel are quality but I never really paid attention to the uploader. I've seen their vids for like a year or 2 and only subbed a few months ago when I noticed they're all the same channel; lol. That's probably why.
Thanks for you guys converstation , now i know the reason why he don't have many sub , i can finish my search and die as if life is complete :)
Wow, amazing work dude!
Wow, Dark Souls is so popular they made their buldings irl
Gotta love it when fantasy mimics reality and they are so similar that the fantasy might as well be real.
Salt & Sanctuary - a 2d soulslike - does something cool with this idea, a lot of the NPCs mention how famous landmarks from different places and times seem to be right next to each other now and nobody knows exactly what's going on (apart from The Jester, but good luck understanding him).
when you visit the Milan cathedral and see a big fat dude: *vietnam flashbacks while dunkstein and slamough plays in the background*
Crowbcat at it again
"Son, we're visiting Anor Londo."
This video is worthy of a million likes. Thanks dude.
Feels chilling after playing the game, makes me think the experience was all a dream and our world is somehow linked with Lordran.
I found another connection. In Anor Londo, on the wall of an entire room (or 2, dont remember), there are 2 images of 2 statues alterned for the whole room, when I saw them a long time ago while playing DS I had a dejavu feeling that somehow convinced me there was a link with the style of the statues of Uffizi museum entrance in Florence. Those statues outside the Uffizi rapresent the famous characters of the city's past, they are plenty, and comparing one by one I found the screen of statues in Anor Londo coincide ecxatly with 2 statues of 2 "minor" character in Uffizi (prob they didnt pick the most famous ones like Dante's. Michelangelo's or Da Vinci's etc... to not make the font recognizable ). So no doubt about that, they are copy-pasted from there... super useless information, but I realized I was (and still I'm) the only one to know it in the world lol.
may I inquire which statues they are? I'm planning on going and I want to gurantee I will find them when I am their.
This is one of the things that made DS1 so special.
Real life inspired locations all beatifully connected.
I was really disappointed with DS2 because :
- Most areas are visually boring ( not counting the dlc's );
- Most areas made no geographical sense;
And most importantly,
- The warping feature being introduced so early on ( and they are doing the same thing in DS3 btw ).
+Markes von Hinten I thought DS3 was absolutely fantastic, actually my favorite in the series. I think the warping worked out alright since areas flowed together well enough (especially compared to DS2's janky transitions.) Did you play it yet? What did you think of DS3?
***** That's an excellent analysis, and that's very intelligent to wait for a complete edition - not only do you get all the DLC but a fully patched game with balance and stability improvements (I believe a recent patch fixed crashing and improved fps for many people.) I can understand your criticism of enemy and art design, however the levels and bosses in DS3 are some of my favorite, and are high quality the entire way through (no post-Anor-Londo dropoff like in DS1.) DS3 is definitely my favorite in series, though DS1 is a close second.
+Elliot R While I cant say there wont be a Game of the Year version with DLC, From has said there wont be a Scholar of the First Sin type redux of 3.
***** Exactly. I'd bet one thousand dollars that there will be a "complete" edition similar to DS1:PTD, DS2:SOTFS, etc. However sadly I do not have one thousand dollars to spare on gambling so instead I will bet two dollars and a half-eaten pack of Starbursts.
Ds 3 is as amazing as Ds 1 and much better than the simplified version of Ds (bb). BB was a huge disappointment. It was extremely repetitive, shallow, very monotonous and simple. It also had a high percentage of terrible bosses and levels. Highly overrated console action game with very little depth made specifically for console players. People judging games from streams are just pretentious.
I always come back to this edit bro love your masterful craft at editing one love from Venezuela
Dressing up as a Silver Knight and going to the Milan Cathedral is definitely going on my bucket list.
Han solo: It was real.. all of it.
Damn, i remember discovering anor londo these past few days and thinking to myself ''' There's no way someone would build this in real life ''' looool
