I had some fuck named "crusty pillowcase". Suffice to say he immediately killed me because I just stood there mind broken trying to comprehend this 'NPC'.
Exactly the same in Norwegian. Seems to be a theme in this DLC (lapp, "Harald" knights - Norwegian/Scandinavian first name), along with Irish mythology (Midir, god of the underworld).
blender7 the Scandinavian languages (Danish, Swedish and Norwegian) are actually so similar that in most cases we can understand each other just fine even though we aren't speaking the same language.
In fact, the old woman npc at the begining of the dlc, eventualy dies "naturaly" when you complete the dlc. And in that case, the angel appears but it isn't hostile.
No i think it grows over years also i think the angel is only hostile if you kill the hag if she dies at the end without player input i think she still retains a bit of her sanity
Grambee what was that she was holding anyway? and why did it seem to teleport time forward? that whole area you end up in looks exactly like from the opening cinematic. Lothric seems intact in the background though.
the story of Lapp is honestly one of my favorites in all of souls, maybe even ever. your sole "friend" who's been with you, one way or another, through each of the games, always up to his usual tricks, always persisting. yet, finally, he was able to reach the true end of the world, only to lose himself. We see a Patches that is perhaps the original Patches, before he saw the corruption of the church, an honest, helpful man who wants nothing more than to discover the truth, to discover himself. He helps you, and promises to be your friend even after he recollects himself. It is only by your actions that he's able to remember his past. And, like the good old times, he kicks you off a cliff... except this cliff leads not to a pit, but to the way forward. Patches and Lapp have both acknowledged you, just as you have come to acknowledge them. You part ways, not through betrayal or death, but with purpose, a goal to end the rein of the gods and the corruption of the church, to fully unveil the truth.
Another cool thing they did is that before Lapp regains his memories, he tells you f a treasure hidden in a dangerous place. When I played this part I got serious warning bells going off in my head because it wasn't until then that I recognized his voice as Patches. But the treasure he mentions is actually there, and there's no trap waiting for you.
@@mlggodzilla1567 As far as I remember, Dark Souls lore implies that Solaire burned himself to the first flame so any further appearance wouldn't have made any sense, but maybe I'm wrong! It really would have been awesome though.
VaatiVidya the last boss was a pain in the ass, but really fucking awesome. he was like the best of the Orphan of Kos and Artorias, with a totally-not-bloodborne weapon.
thats nice, she is one of the many characters i grew irrationally attached to despite only talking to her 3 times... i just went to see if she was fine after finishing the DLC a few days back and was really sad to find her ashes...
You know one thing that bothers me is that they have the skill to make a huge fucking badass dragon like midir but they don't have the skill to make patches mouth move when he talks
Not sure if you found her, but Shira most certainly does not approve of you waking Filianore. I'm not sure if you can trigger this after the boss fight at Filianore's Rest, but if you hug the right edge of the area you'll find a small ruined structure. Walk into it, to the far end, and Shira will "invade" your world (similar to Vilhelm's entrance in the painted world) and face you. Afterwards, go back to Shira's house and the door will be open, and you can claim her armor set. Also, if you hug the left wall of the same area, there is a dual greatsword Ringed Knight. Kill him for a Titanite Slab. Oh and Alva invades near the Black Witch Set, and Moaning Knight not-Eygon invades in the Shared Grave. There is a Silver Knight invasion, but I see you found it by your weapon choice against Midir. EDIT** Lastly, just stumbled upon this, but the stone humped hag in the Dreg Heap dies on her own if you progress far enough into the DLC. I'm guessing it's once you beat the boss at Filianore's Rest.
Moaning Knight is definitely Eygon. He gets referenced earlier by one of the Locusts and he drops a blindfold, referencing Irina. At first I thought he might be Morne, since it is Morne's armour, but then I realised he was using the Moaning Shield (hence the name) which was unique to Eygon.
I'm not sure what caused it, but the lady behind the door no longer speaks to me. I haven't killed the final boss yet, nor the secret one, though I have pushed the dragon off the cliff and touched the egg.
Infected Nobody, Would've been epic! Although the subtle almost completely unrecognizable shrine felt like a perfect hint of how much things have changed since the glory days
I think at the end, Patches for once wasn't trying to kill you. At that last point he was instead teaching you a lesson. In DS1, Patches kicks you off a cliff to your death. In DS2, his reincarnation (Pate) tries to trap you if you help him survive. In DS3, he tries to feed you to a Giant and locks you in Firelink to fall to your death. But at the end, he doesn't try to kill you. He kicks you off, to an area he knows you'll survive. He's Patches, he doesn't make mistakes like that if he wants you dead. He tells you that every age has the greed of men, perhaps taunting you for falling for his trap one last time. He says he is devoid of all worldly wants, then laughs. But... I don't feel it's a smug laugh. It sounds almost bittersweet. He then sighs and tells you that maybe that's just how humans are. He says he'll put you into his prayers, but not smugly or with the chuckle he's always had, but solemnly. As if letting something go or saying goodbye. He mockingly wishes you a fine Dark Soul, but not to mock you, but to mock what feels like the City itself. We saved him from his hollowing, and he promised to remember you as a friend. And he does, he remembers you, this undead who's lasted so long, trolled and killed so many players, he truly remembers you. And then he's gone, all that's left is the memory of his last ruse against you, one last prank to pull, one last undead to scare before he calls it quits. Aside from that, we get his armor, the last thing he left us as a reward for surviving one more time. So at the end, he was trying to tell you to not be so greedy, to think a bit more, to trust a bit less, which is the best lesson anyone can teach us in this hellish land, even if it's just a bit too late to matter. Patches truly is one of the best friends one could have.
Heck, he gets you safely to the place you need to go without fall damage or the chance of accidentally falling off. If you try to go up the stairs you fall through, take fall damage, get attacked by enemies and invaded. When he kicks you off you have time to prepare for it
#7: Gwyn couldn't figure out how the hell to pull out so he just sorta masked his mistakes by putting them in the farthest corners of existence and building entire cities around them.
"not knowing how to fix mistake so he goes utterly above and beyond what's sane or rational" is literally a description of everything Gwyn did in his misbegotten life
@@TheCreepyLantern I really find gwyn to be stupid. Dude just had to let go of his pride and accept that all times have a ending . The age of fire would die and the age of dark and humans would come yet he decided to torture everyone for no reason. Hell with enough time the age of fire would come again
@@jurivjerdha2467 i mean you're RIGHT. but at the same time, if you were informed the country you live in was gonna be wiped off the face of the earth, the end of everyone, everything, and every bit of culture you've ever known....... Are you sure you'd be thinking 100% rationally even if i went "don't worry, humans will probably settle this land again in a few thousand years"
@@jurivjerdha2467 i think the issue is more of that once the age of fire ends, so too does his reign (and i believe his existence as a whole as well, as man will take over)
@@jurivjerdha2467 if gwyn didn't do anything, by anything i mean curse mankind with the darksign, no one would care to kindle the first flame, so his age of fire would never come again once humanity took over
I would have killed him.... but he already survived the kill in firelink/the cathedral of the deep and now he's undead and a Hollow so I figured it would be pointless and maybe it would make me unable to expirience his last lore (or not because there'd be none, I didn't knew that at the time)
at one point Lapp told me there's a cool treasure just a skip and a hop away in the swamps and I was like "HA! Yeah right!" and then later I came back to talk to him and he was like "Oh I went and got the treasure. It was real easy, here you go" and gave me a Titanite Slab...
The final boss implies there is something special about our protagonist SPOILERS When Gael is killing the Pygmy lords and taking their Dark Souls, he turns to you and demands your Dark Soul, implying your Dark Soul is powerful enough to be on par with the Pygmy lords.
The Old Woman's ashes shows her hand wearing the High Priestess Ring and the description mentions her as the "wet nurse of royalty". Could she be Emma after she disappeared from Lothric Castle?
+Berg Electron Lapp still shows up in the DLC even if you kill him in the base game, so there's no reason to assume that they didn't simply come back to life like us, keep in mind the DLC takes place in the far future though. Weirdly enough we never even know the circumstances of Emma's death if the player doesn't kill her himself. A circle apears below her resembling the offensive spells used by those crawling clerics in the DLC, so she may have been killed by them?
I said "oh fk not again." While having ptsd flash backs of being kicked off of various cliffs. Also he's doing the Patches Squat when he tells you he got his memory back.
Before the fight with Midir, you see serpents with arms and legs. So wait the primordial serpents are growing wings.. now arms and legs.. HMMM? Comes on now people, it's obvious what's happening. Primordial serpents have been profiting off of mans struggles from the start, you can see almost serpent like symbols on Gwyns armor. They're turning themselves into dragons through the power of souls. 'The serpent is an imperfect dragon and symbol of the Undead. Its habit of devouring prey even larger than itself has led to an association with gluttony.'
Most of scandinavians serpents are considered dragons. There is a difference between a dragon and a wyvern, but both can be seen as a serpents since they are represented with a long snake-like body. The primordial serpents could be the dragons we know.
Hey Vaati! Since this DLC ends the dark souls saga and its lore. Do you plan on making a "final video" explaining the entirety of the main lore of dark souls or nah? : )
Just want to point out that the egg imagery in the Fillianore sequence is remarkably like the quote in Demian “The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.” Now Abraxas is a deity meant to encompass both light and dark, both chaos and order, so in my mind this is a subtle commentary on how maybe the cycle is broken, that rather than have gods who fight to rekindle the age of light or create an age of darkness, the God in power is one beyond the cycle of light and dark, instead encompassing both in one.
i just assumed that the preacher were just cannibalistic or something, "fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin", "dont fear death and get in my belly"
@@Zatweeb Well at least there will be a BUNCH of weapons in Shadows Die Twice, surely enough there'll be equipment to cosplay solaire and onion bro... sob
You can see the original firelink architecture on the arena. A round indent on the ground where the bonfire should be, a well next to it, all the arches, and the hole in the ground that should lead into the altar.
Malcom Alexander I said the same thing when I saw it, fortunately I was the only one of my group of friends that noticed it because I played dark souls 1
Hearing patc- I mean Lapp say “no matter what, I am your friend” makes me wanna break down and cry. No matter how much shit he puts you through, I’ve always had sympathy for him because in the real world, the only type of people who end up like him are the ones who have never truly been treated with kindness themselves.
Right when I gave the painter girl the blood of the dark soul, I knew the series has finally come to an end. I decided not to give my name up since the dark soul isn't about me, it's about all of us. For we have all dived and played in From Software and Miyazaki's painted world called the dark souls series. What a wonderful video game series that is dark yet holds hope for humanity as a whole. The real world is foul and broken, we surely have all come to this conclusion. It's the painted worlds from our imagination that gives us the drive to tackle what we call life everyday. Thank you From Software for a wonderful gaming experience that far exceeds any other during this generation.
hi everyone! i'm not advertising but i'm a lore enthusiast such as you all! please if you have the will, read this post made by me, i really want to bring up a comprehensive look on the entire dlc! www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/62fjlr/ringed_city_dlc_lore_analysis_and_interpretation/
Alright, I've got a neat little detail for y'all! Did anyone else figure out that the Old Piligrim Woman is actually High Priestess Emma? In the description of her ashes it says that she was "a wet nurse of royalty", and if we consult the description of the Priestess Ring, it reads "The High Priestess also served as the prince's wet nurse". And just in case you need further convincing, take a look at the ashes' picture - there's a certain ring on one of the fingers :)
I am surprised you made no mention of Midir's boss area. It bears uncanny resemblance to the intro cinematic of the first Dark Souls. The long rocky passage, leading to a massive cavern... where the first flame was found.
Not to mention all the undead corpses inside it, which probably suggest the "dark" he was kept around to eat was just the humans the gods were oppressing.
They said that Midir was raised by the Gods (Gwyn) and made vows to protect Fillianore (his daughter) and consume the dark. For he is "immortal" (I assume ageless, still die by stabbing). Also the gods "punished' the pygmy lords by creating their own city hidden at worlds end containing them and their knights who were so close to the power of the abyss, (since humans came from dark their power also comes from the darkness). SO to me it seems Gwyn kept a dragon egg after the battle against the dragons, raised it. Placed the Ringed City on top of the location of the first flame. that's just my thinking. Really amazing to see old places melded with the new from the countless ages. Like earthen peak, anor londo, etc. And how they've changed or see it completely taken over by a different force and twisted in their vision. Alright I'm done typing.
@@Noname-om3pp i mean most of the foes are hollows and those specific ones i think theyre called somewhat werewolves, i forgot the right term they are officially called, damn
Funny you should mention that, that pattern (the circle with the line down the center) is kinda similar to the Sword of Avowals, the ceremonial blade you “marry” Anri with.
Considering the paint for a new painting is literally made out of the blood of the desendants of the pygmies this has to mean that the new painting will be most powerful and grandiose. But here is what I want to believe(but highly unlikely): that because she used blood she drew the world of Bloodborne and BAM here we have the origins of the bloodborne universe. Again highly unlikely but LET ME DREAM DAMMIT
Thats what I was thinking as well lol The ending is so abrupt I was thinking that the "blood" of the dark soul must be there for a reason. Blood Souls hype
It's interesting because she wants to create a cold world, which could mean a world without fire, but it is born of blood, so it is possible the world of Bloodborne was created here. Although I don't think I'd want that world to be named after Dat Boi, the character I just beat the game with lol.
alienArcanist it does sound good though. Imagine a sage in the distant future telling an adventurer ,"Seek the cold, dark painting of Dat Boi." Sounds cool, no? (my painting's name is Kawaii Desu Chan and I'm damn proud of it)
I think it's neat, the differences we're shown between those statues in the Ringed city - where the Serpents appear more monstrous, and foul - compared to Lothric - where they appear more Divine and angelic. I guess the pygmies really fucking disliked the Serpents!
In the shrine where you drop off into Midir´s boss fight there are statues showing the entire body of a Primordial Serpent (Most likely Kaathe), it´s pretty disturbing...
I'm thinking It's Fraampt, considering there's titanite in his mouth. He's known to grind titanite down for you in DS1. And now we know angels are part of the religion of the Church of Londor, who follow Kaathe. So, I'm now rethinking the Serpant statues in Lothric castle altogether.
There's actually a lot of potential narrative to be gained from that room. First of all, there's statues of -a- Primordial Serpent, whether it's Kaathe or Frampt or something else is up to you, but also there's a symbol prominently displayed in this small church that resembles the same symbol that the Sword of Avowal resembles (you see this symbol in multiple places throughout the ringed city, primarily buildings that are the most submerged in the abyssal water), which might possibly link it to the Sable Church. Then there's the fact that little church is actually kept secret behind a secret passage...WITHIN a temple that has a monument to Gwyn giving the Pygmy a crown. All of that says quite a bit about the situation.
I summoned shira with me to fight midir, did not interact with her after, then when I was searching the area with Gael, I walked into a shrine, and Shira appeared and called me a traitor, and I had to kill her :'(
She turns hostile only after you shatter Filianore's Kinder Egg. Once you do you are thrown into the future, which is why you fight her in her room, only destroyed by time now.
Nah fam, its the future, first the whole 'time is convoluted' mechanic we keep hearing about throughout the series and the fact that the pygmy lords call Gael "The Red Hood" serves as proof that he has built up a reputation over time.
The Demon Prince boss room is the Firelink shrine from Dark Souls 1. After the boss we're walking down the tunnel where Frampt once talked to us. Oh and don't forget Earthen Peak form Dark Souls 2.
It really made me feel a certain goodness when he kicked you but in the direction you needed to go. Said (from what I understood) that the things he's done to get what he wants was futile in the end, and wished you luck, then he helps you fight the spear of the church which is pretty sick. My only question, is that the last we see of him in the ringed city?
Here's another cool detail, the desert area from the future where you fight Gael was already shown in the first seconds of the teaser trailer for the original game I think (the scene where the pilgrim falls)
iWillWakeYouUp also, the massive tree-goat things in Farron Swamp use them, I don't think they're reused assets. Knowing Dark Souls, everything is chosen extremely specifically. More lore implications maybe
I know a cave's a cave and I'm probably like 5 years late to this revelation, but the cave in which you fight Darkeater Midir, doesn't the view look like the cave in the cutscene where all the nekkid not-yet-humans find the fire before the age of disparity?
+Sensko Time is convoluted also This huge speculation but I think The Millwood Knights are forsworn (they are in the painted world) because they lost all purpose when they discovered that the abyss dragon they thought a manifestation of dark was actually defending the world against it
Hey Vaati! I have a quite interesting one, if you didn't already know. Lapp, in Swedish actually translates to patch in English! A little hint towards who Lapp really is
The purging monument one, I happened across a weird hit-box in the middle of the swamp... right past the staircase and just randomly popped items next to it. Within a few minutes I turned into a humanity and was like, "AWESOME!" Then, I found the "riddle" and solved it by being like, "oh, yea, maybe I can turn into the sprite?" PURE LUCK BUILD, YO!
Something cool I'v noticed in the DLC is that you can see Lothric Castle and I think Anor Londo in the background of the final boss arena. The boss arena is the place in the games cover art too.
I figured it out as soon as I met him because he literally has the same voice... I said to my friend "either this is patches or they completely ran out of budget and had to reuse a voice actor."
they preach that humans should not fear the abys and embrace it but the mask you find says that they failed as preachers of the abys because they let their hunger consume them hence the let the feast begin and why the npc keeps preaching how the abys is not to be feared.
They also seem to hint at invaders when they tell of three people who embraced the dark. The first one clearly refers to Alva and we find him later as an invader. The other two im not sure but i guess one is the silver knight, the other maybe the moaning knight.
One is Alva (or Greirat, if you think he's somehow a knight and Loretta is his beloved) The girl who fears the crawling things is Irina. The knight who fears the girl is Eygon. The learning guy is Orbeck. The one who slew her kin is Sirris. The non-grub Finger is Leonhard.
Interesting. I seem to have missed one encounter with the talking locust. After the first one and the alva invasion, i thought they were are heralding the npc invaders. But it did not seem to fit after the first one. Never crossed my mind he might be referring to other Npcs outside the dlc. But you seem to be spot on, i totally missed the hints for Sirris, even though they are very clear and precise XD neither moon nor sunless sky. Just like the others.
Alexandra Wicks Someone left a message saying "Monstrosity ahead" in my game when you first see him. I didn't get it at first then it randomly hit me while I was exploring the swamp. lol
I've been trying to decipher what the Man-Locusts are talking about during there little speeches about the dark, and as far as I can guess right now they appear to be talking about various NPCs. "One was a wayfaring knight, on an endless, forbidden search. Only the Abyss granted closure, if not reunion with his beloved." - Most likely this refers to Alva, considering his later appearance within the city and the nod to him being "Wayfaring". Likely the Abyss granting him closure refers to his taking comfort in Zullie, a dark witch. "One met the dark with learning. But in the end, learned his knowledge was wanting." - This one is tricky. I personally think this is referring to Aldia, who attempted to understand the Dark but only came to appreciate the futility of the curse as a whole ("Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark... what could possibly await us?"). This also could be referring to Orbeck or Logan, both of whom responded to their being cursed by adventuring out for knowledge, and both of whom met their fates because of it. "One poor girl slew her own kin, but even so, was embraced, enveloped by the Abyss." - This is most likely referring to Karla, as the Dark Edge sorcery described how it was "passed from mother to daughter" and "the young girl [if this is indeed Karla herself] never swung it more than once", presumably to kill her mother. Other than her, another girl who we know slew her kin would be Seiglinde, though she is as far as we know completely unrelated to the Dark, so unless something happened to her after the events of DS1 this seems unlikely. "And so, she lived in fear. Of the dark, of the things that gnawed at her flesh." - Obviously Irina, though what is interesting is how the locust claims that "The Abyss has spawned no such creature". Indeed, the insects that we assumed to be haunting Irina are from the Deep, not the Dark, so I wonder how Irina is being affected by them, unless the two forces are more related than even the locusts know. "And so, despite his weighty armour, he lived in fear. Of a delicate thing, little more than a girl." - Given that this line is from the same locust as the previous one, we can assume this to be Eygon, who also appears later in the DLC. I wonder if he did in fact live in fear of Irina, or lived in fear for her. I always knew he cared ( ˘ ³˘)♥ If not him, this description could also apply to several characters from DS2, including Raime, Alva and Vendrick himself, though none of them match up to the whole statement as much as Eygon does. What's really interesting about all this however, is how the locusts even know about these people. Have the become almost legendary figures throughout the ages? Can the Dark share experiences between it's creations in the same way you talk about how demons do in this video? Very odd.
I could totally see that, I completely forgot about her! The only issues I could see with that would be that Sirris has no direct connection with the Abyss, and that the Locust also talked about how she did not find comfort in the moon, which would be a little odd for an acolyte of Gwyndolin. Then again, Sirris is not an active Blade of the Darkmoon according to Yorshka, so maybe she left the order at some point to seek her grandfather? Would her death then be her being "enveloped in the Abyss"? EDIT: The specific quote is "Twas a comfort that neither moon nor sunless sky had afforded her before", which yeah, is pretty clearly about Sirris. I suppose that her apparent envelopment in the Abyss must just refer to her taking her own life after the end of her questline, but it was that specific description that made me think it'd be Karla. Guess the Dark ain't picky?
I think that irina was lying about the creatures nawing at her. I mean think of it she wants to become a fire keeper and when she does her voice changes and she becomes cold like she's lost her motive. maybe she thought being a fire keeper would restore her vision and so she lied and used us. I feel like eygon would have mentioned the creatures
Tin Can i think the moaning knight refers to morne, as id you change it a little - mourn - then it fits the description of "moaning", and he also has the same armor and all... however i do not know morne well, so...
I heard you added a comment of doubt to MatPat's theory video on who the protagonist of Dark Souls 3 is, but your comment got deleted. Did you delete it yourself or did MatPat delete it?
Based on the comments, MatPat deleted it. I honestly am not surprised. Recently GT has been a horribly rushed, poorly researched mess. MatPat has been an arrogant jerk who refuses to admit and apologize for his mistakes and instead deletes comments criticizing him. Just check out the mistakes in his For Honor video.
Heatwave619 this is happening to everyone something is wrong with the youtube comments the same thing has been happenig with select channels he made a short video on it hes not deleting comments they everyone and then after a while only matpat and the person who posted it could see it
SPOILERS: Was anyone else disappointed with the ending? Like, there wasn't even a cutscene or didn't wrap up much lore at all. I loved the final fight though for sure, but the fact that you're just left there and it's over without any indication feels weird. Like there should've been at least one final cutscene to send the game off.
Rolando Carlos Manuel Yeah, that's true. I mean at least it is SOMETHING, but it just felt like an odd way to wrap up the souls series, ya know? Having one final badass cutscene with your character realizing that the world is already dead would've been really sick, but I guess it's dark souls fashion to do it this way.
NintendoGuyROBLOX EVEN I was dissapointed with the ending the gameplay was OH quality but the ending was bad I admit it a final cutscene would have been fucking amazing but maybe we are still missing something.
Spoilers I'm the only one sad about the lack of resolution on the "painting a new world" quest? You destroy the ringed city, Gael kill what it seen the Royal pygmies, you kill Gael and get the blood, than you go give the Blood tô the girl and all we get is: "yeah thanks bro, now I'm gonna paint a new shitty cold as fuck place"
Sure that's one way to think about it. Personally I felt happy and satisfied. No matter what kind of painting it is, it will still give shelter and comfort to any being that cannot find a place in the outside world. And I was honored that she asked to name it after me, but I chose not to give her my name. I'm just a single fragment of the dark souls, of little import or worth. What's important is that we did in fact recover the Dark Souls, and with its power, we can all rest easy.
My heart burned when i saw u made a video about the ringed city because i first wanted to play it. But after ive finished it yesterday i was so sad cause the only bad thing about dark souls is that it ends. But then i realised ''hey, vaati is still there!'' and i was so happy remembering that there is this one youtuber that mastered the skill of telling the stories of dark souls and my joy returned! Thank you!
I always thought that the zone where the first flame was, was the area where you fight Gwyn and that seems to be over an arch three, you can see the same three under Soul of cinder boss area
I don't think that Gwyn simply took the first flame and moved it to other place, Gwyn had to link the first flame at the first place where it born, and that should be the boss area of Gwyn and Soul of cinder. That's why Gwyn left Anor Londo and returned to the place where he found the first flame and his Soul of Lord.
+VaatiVidya Did you notice the striking similarities between the ringed city and the city of Londor while you were playing through the dlc? The small Envoy Banner states that Gwynn gifted the ringed city to the pygmies who took the dark soul, who would later become hollow and as Yuria states, Londor is a city of hollows. Another large resemblance to this is that we're told that Londor was founded around a church, and we find the same thing in the ringed city, with the church of Fillianore being at the center of it all. And by far the biggest thing I found during my time playing that hints at me that the ringed city is or is related to Londor, is that if you use your binoculars to look at the tops of the towers from the wall at the start of the area, you can see that the symbol from the Sword of Avowal is all over the ringed city, on the tops of all the biggest towers. Just something I thought was kinda neat ^^
It's strongly hinted at in game that Farron Swamp is actually where Oolacile used to be, by the prescene of the talking mushroom corpses, Elizabeth's corpse, Dusk's set next to said corpse, and the Oolacile magic scroll all being found there. And another thing pointing towards the ringed city being Londor that I only noticed a few minutes ago, is that there are little figures of Sister Friede carved onto the door going into the church of Felianore
KittyGirl 586 The ringed city is Londor and it also seems to be every other world in dark souls including earthen peak Ds2 and original firelink shrine Ds1. A lot people aren't getting all the refrences because they never played the other two.
I believe it was the old pigmy lady at the start of the dlc who says that you are at the place where all the great empires go when they lose their might and power. This was what she said: "At the close of the Age of Fire, all lands meet at the end of the earth. Great kingdoms and anaemic townships will be one and the same. The great tide of human enterprise, all for naught. That's why I'm so taken by this grand sight. This must be what it's like to be a god."
Well..the demon prince area looks a lot like firelink shrine and..below that far below..in the dark waters of the ringed city, you do find the white trees and items from Oolacile. You also turn into a humanity sprite if you use chameleon, It's very possible that it is oolacile
can you do a final video please. explaining in a fool proof way the entire gist of dark souls up to now. I really still don't understand this game. I get the lore on some parts but I mean the main story like about the dark soul (what is this when was this in play in dark souls 3) I thought it was about linking a fire. where is ringed city set because Gael is roided up in the final boss fight. is there a time skip or something. why is patched here... please explain this.
themanwhohasnohead to be honest I have no idea about the main lore either but I can answer some questions for you. gael went to the ringed city to find a dark soul for the painter girl to make another painting and he found the pygmy lords with the blood all dried up so he wants to finish this and he kills and eats them to get the blood of the dark soul and he gets all cracked out and it ruins his mind and since he is mad and all screwed up he tries to kill you to get your part of the dark soul and the ringed city is all the civilizations all collided and smashed together kinda like those buildings in the back of the kiln of the first flame by the way I recommend looking stuff up because I am still confused as hell on this and the main lore of how everything came to be in souls. it is so obscure or maybe I just need to git gud at lore
A super duper long ass time ago huge ass dragons ruled the earth. Lesser forms of life were around living in darkness and hidden places. There was this powerful force hidden somwhere(the one piece, all spark, the force, ambrosia, the god tree, the odin force, the infinity gems, the holy grail, cosmic egg, lol you get the point). One day 4 lesser beings found it. They all got a piece of it(They call these pieces of it's power "lord souls"). They all became super powerful(gods). They became gods of fire, lightning, and death. But the last lesser being took it's lord soul and vanished. A long time after that they decided that the world belonged to them. So the gods and a few of their offspring decided to take out the dragons cause they were in the way. They had a long war but the battle was even. One day a funny looking picked on and bullied dragon double crossed his race. He joined up with the gods and told them their weakness. End of the age of dragons, it's now the age of fire( aka GODS). All was good until one day the leader of the gods discovered something that disturbed him. He discovered that the 4th god who vanashed, lord soul was the most powerful. The king was a gready bastured and over the many years became paranoid. He thought that one day he might overthrow his kingdom. He eventually found the missing god and tricked him into being his underling. He gave him and his people a city(the ring city) and acted as if they were equals. He left one of his daughters(Fillenor) there (to secretly keep them in check) who was looked upon as a goddess. But this was all apart of the paranoid kings master plan. The ring city was just a trap to isolate them(if you are a naruto fan, they are basically the uchiha clan lol.) He feared that lord soul so much he felt it was evil. So he named it the " DARK SOUL!!!!!!!". 1st he spread nasty rumors about this "dark soul". 2nd he put all kinds of fail safes in place like darkeater Midir etc etc. He even tricked his daughter(R.I.P) into being a fail safe. Saying he would come back for her(he didn't). 3rd he put a curse on them that basically linked their lord souls(THE DARK SOUL) power to the gods. Last, he sacrificed most of his power and that became the final piece of his trap(the first flame). Basically It created "the matrix"(yeah, the movie) for the people of the "dark soul". A never ending loop of bull shit to keep them enslaved. A random person(champion lol) would be picked and they were sent on a epic quest to "link the flame"(Give a piece of their power to the paranoid kings trap) so the world doesn't end. This goes on for ages, while the gods sit back and laugh. Actually the world wont end, the world = the gods remaining top of the food chain. Eventually the trap finally fails and people finally get out of the matrix. There were other ancient beings that were around back during the age of dragons. Who were secretly helping the people of the "dark soul" behind the scenes. Those funny looking long neck creatures with floppy ears. later it was revealed that the god with the "dark soul" was the ancestor of HUMANITY!!!!! End of the age of fire(gods), hello to the age of "darkness/dark"(HUMANITY!!!!!).

LOL it's crazy how this game was set up. You have to learn the story piece by piece. You have to actually read every item description, talk to every NPC, read signs, look at statues etc. etc. It's easy once you've played DS1 & DS3 up NG+5. There's still some little things I left out too. No need to play DS2, that was a side story.
Ah yes, I will never forget my fight with “spear of the church: bigdickboi”

Interesting info: Lapp means patch in swedish :-)
lap in Danish means patch aswell xD
Exactly the same in Norwegian. Seems to be a theme in this DLC (lapp, "Harald" knights - Norwegian/Scandinavian first name), along with Irish mythology (Midir, god of the underworld).
It's almost like Sweden and Denmark are the same country.
In norwegian too. So, in all scandinavian languages.
blender7 the Scandinavian languages (Danish, Swedish and Norwegian) are actually so similar that in most cases we can understand each other just fine even though we aren't speaking the same language.
In fact, the old woman npc at the begining of the dlc, eventualy dies "naturaly" when you complete the dlc. And in that case, the angel appears but it isn't hostile.
So there is no angel tree that goes with that angel?
No i think it grows over years also i think the angel is only hostile if you kill the hag if she dies at the end without player input i think she still retains a bit of her sanity
@@Lupus-iv7jp the angel was always hostile in my games and i never touched the hag
@@tobybll But you have to finish the DLC apparently for it to be non hostile

Amusing fact - Filia means toast (the bread variety) in Bulgarian. Therefore Filianore would we considered the daughter of toast!
I am from Bulgaria. How the fuck did I not think of that. I am disappointed in myself.
Евдокия Шестакова wat
Well if the -anor part of her name means 'of the sun' ,being derived from anor, wouldn't that be Toast of the Sun?
Siegward: "For the moment, we have a toast to make."
(Pulls out Filianore from his inventory)
Siegward: "LONG MAY THE SUN SHINE!"
well filia is latin for daughter so...
I love how the unkindled just stands there awkwardly after he breaks Fillianore's ball, like "uh, surry. :("
''no touching!''
"I really should stop doing that, I know. Last time I let out a giant skeleton out of some cup."
Pretty much all of Dark Souls 3 is your character touching shit he shouldn't
Touchy Souls 3.
Grambee what was that she was holding anyway? and why did it seem to teleport time forward? that whole area you end up in looks exactly like from the opening cinematic. Lothric seems intact in the background though.
I would put Midir to rest, but he's relentlessly slaughtering me

the story of Lapp is honestly one of my favorites in all of souls, maybe even ever. your sole "friend" who's been with you, one way or another, through each of the games, always up to his usual tricks, always persisting. yet, finally, he was able to reach the true end of the world, only to lose himself. We see a Patches that is perhaps the original Patches, before he saw the corruption of the church, an honest, helpful man who wants nothing more than to discover the truth, to discover himself. He helps you, and promises to be your friend even after he recollects himself.
It is only by your actions that he's able to remember his past. And, like the good old times, he kicks you off a cliff... except this cliff leads not to a pit, but to the way forward. Patches and Lapp have both acknowledged you, just as you have come to acknowledge them. You part ways, not through betrayal or death, but with purpose, a goal to end the rein of the gods and the corruption of the church, to fully unveil the truth.
Well said
Yet finding solaire at the end of the world would have been a lot cooler.
Another cool thing they did is that before Lapp regains his memories, he tells you f a treasure hidden in a dangerous place. When I played this part I got serious warning bells going off in my head because it wasn't until then that I recognized his voice as Patches. But the treasure he mentions is actually there, and there's no trap waiting for you.
@@mlggodzilla1567 As far as I remember, Dark Souls lore implies that Solaire burned himself to the first flame so any further appearance wouldn't have made any sense, but maybe I'm wrong! It really would have been awesome though.
@@JordiMataGarcia i thought Solaire just went crazy because he couldn't find the sun?
Don't watch this if you haven't played the DLC first imo
Are you guys enjoying it?
you know we will watch anyways, that's why you put it out a.s.a.p for max viewership lol
VaatiVidya the last boss was a pain in the ass, but really fucking awesome. he was like the best of the Orphan of Kos and Artorias, with a totally-not-bloodborne weapon.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
VaatiVidya loving every second of it
\[T]/ Praise the Sun! :D
No way Patches the cheap ass paid for the DLC lol
he must have paid from the corpses hes stripped off of XD
He must have threatened Gael to bring him there.
By saying he’ll kick everyone he knows and loves
He didn't time travel like us. He waited for the literal end of the world so he wouldn't have to pay.
@@mihirlavande That must've been painful for his legs, squatting for hundreds of years
Is it what he out all that costly merchanting profit towards?
No, he's just unbreakable, squatting till the end of the world.
The Hag also transforms into an angel once you kill Gael, the angel patrols peacfully and doesnt attack.
thats nice, she is one of the many characters i grew irrationally attached to despite only talking to her 3 times... i just went to see if she was fine after finishing the DLC a few days back and was really sad to find her ashes...
Slightly wrong information here. She turns into angel after you wake Fillianor. Doesnt require to beat Gael
You know one thing that bothers me is that they have the skill to make a huge fucking badass dragon like midir but they don't have the skill to make patches mouth move when he talks
I'd say they have their priorities in the right place
Eh, I don’t mind
Patch is a telepath confirmed
He's wearing a flesh mask.
@@jimijenkins2548 is he? I thought that was just his face
Not sure if you found her, but Shira most certainly does not approve of you waking Filianore. I'm not sure if you can trigger this after the boss fight at Filianore's Rest, but if you hug the right edge of the area you'll find a small ruined structure. Walk into it, to the far end, and Shira will "invade" your world (similar to Vilhelm's entrance in the painted world) and face you. Afterwards, go back to Shira's house and the door will be open, and you can claim her armor set.
Also, if you hug the left wall of the same area, there is a dual greatsword Ringed Knight. Kill him for a Titanite Slab.
Oh and Alva invades near the Black Witch Set, and Moaning Knight not-Eygon invades in the Shared Grave. There is a Silver Knight invasion, but I see you found it by your weapon choice against Midir.
EDIT**
Lastly, just stumbled upon this, but the stone humped hag in the Dreg Heap dies on her own if you progress far enough into the DLC. I'm guessing it's once you beat the boss at Filianore's Rest.
Moaning Knight is definitely Eygon. He gets referenced earlier by one of the Locusts and he drops a blindfold, referencing Irina. At first I thought he might be Morne, since it is Morne's armour, but then I realised he was using the Moaning Shield (hence the name) which was unique to Eygon.
I'm not sure what caused it, but the lady behind the door no longer speaks to me.
I haven't killed the final boss yet, nor the secret one, though I have pushed the dragon off the cliff and touched the egg.
It's probably because you woke Filianore. Check if she's at Filianore's Rest maybe?
After you wake Filianore, you've pretty much betrayed her, and she'll later invade you to a ruined structure to the right of Filianore's rest.
Its touching the egg
Vaati you missed the fact that the Demon Prince boss fight arena is the Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls 1. Well included, Upvote so he see's this!
Hell! You're right! If only Frampt was there :(
All I want is a reunion with the serpents!
Infected Nobody, Would've been epic! Although the subtle almost completely unrecognizable shrine felt like a perfect hint of how much things have changed since the glory days
Infected Nobody Statues.
Awoken Genius Aren't they found throughout the base game as well? I might be mistaken but they didn't seem new to me, the ones near Midir
I thought the room was that shit cave of DS2. Hell, even the swamp village is a big shout out to DS2.
I think at the end, Patches for once wasn't trying to kill you. At that last point he was instead teaching you a lesson. In DS1, Patches kicks you off a cliff to your death. In DS2, his reincarnation (Pate) tries to trap you if you help him survive. In DS3, he tries to feed you to a Giant and locks you in Firelink to fall to your death. But at the end, he doesn't try to kill you. He kicks you off, to an area he knows you'll survive. He's Patches, he doesn't make mistakes like that if he wants you dead.
He tells you that every age has the greed of men, perhaps taunting you for falling for his trap one last time. He says he is devoid of all worldly wants, then laughs. But... I don't feel it's a smug laugh. It sounds almost bittersweet. He then sighs and tells you that maybe that's just how humans are. He says he'll put you into his prayers, but not smugly or with the chuckle he's always had, but solemnly. As if letting something go or saying goodbye. He mockingly wishes you a fine Dark Soul, but not to mock you, but to mock what feels like the City itself.
We saved him from his hollowing, and he promised to remember you as a friend. And he does, he remembers you, this undead who's lasted so long, trolled and killed so many players, he truly remembers you. And then he's gone, all that's left is the memory of his last ruse against you, one last prank to pull, one last undead to scare before he calls it quits. Aside from that, we get his armor, the last thing he left us as a reward for surviving one more time.
So at the end, he was trying to tell you to not be so greedy, to think a bit more, to trust a bit less, which is the best lesson anyone can teach us in this hellish land, even if it's just a bit too late to matter.
Patches truly is one of the best friends one could have.
Album Interpretations I take it like that was a message coming straight from miyazaki himself, considering that patches was his idea
It might not be coincidence that the only chest in the whole dlc is in that same area and it's a mimic.
Indeed, you can summond Patches in the next boss fight.
Heck, he gets you safely to the place you need to go without fall damage or the chance of accidentally falling off. If you try to go up the stairs you fall through, take fall damage, get attacked by enemies and invaded. When he kicks you off you have time to prepare for it
i felt patches was myazaki talking to us.
#7: Gwyn couldn't figure out how the hell to pull out so he just sorta masked his mistakes by putting them in the farthest corners of existence and building entire cities around them.

the boss arena of the demon prince is the original firelink shrine.
Holy shit
Omg
original firelink shrine in DS1 ?!
@@tossapat027 yep
The place where we are atacked by two angels, before the fight with the demon prince is a location from ds2, i see no one talking about that.
I literally heard lapp begin to talk, heard who he sounded like and said, "Nope, fuck you patches." And that's the story of how patches died for good.
SAME!!!! as much as I like the lesson taught by our "old friend" I went "nope, your dead you lying sonofabitch!"
I would have killed him.... but he already survived the kill in firelink/the cathedral of the deep and now he's undead and a Hollow so I figured it would be pointless and maybe it would make me unable to expirience his last lore (or not because there'd be none, I didn't knew that at the time)
at one point Lapp told me there's a cool treasure just a skip and a hop away in the swamps and I was like "HA! Yeah right!" and then later I came back to talk to him and he was like "Oh I went and got the treasure. It was real easy, here you go" and gave me a Titanite Slab...
if ypou get the slab before he does, he gives you a Siegbreu and makes a toast ^^
It's L If he fetches you the slab, he leaves behind a brew after the boss fight next to the bonfire.
The final boss implies there is something special about our protagonist

When Gael is killing the Pygmy lords and taking their Dark Souls, he turns to you and demands your Dark Soul, implying your Dark Soul is powerful enough to be on par with the Pygmy lords.

Sanadsk You mean dies
+Berg Electron Lapp still shows up in the DLC even if you kill him in the base game, so there's no reason to assume that they didn't simply come back to life like us, keep in mind the DLC takes place in the far future though. Weirdly enough we never even know the circumstances of Emma's death if the player doesn't kill her himself. A circle apears below her resembling the offensive spells used by those crawling clerics in the DLC, so she may have been killed by them?
That depends. Do they share the same voice actress?
she must be, she even mentions what Lorian said about the demon as if she knew him well.

I said "oh fk not again." While having ptsd flash backs of being kicked off of various cliffs. Also he's doing the Patches Squat when he tells you he got his memory back.
Before the fight with Midir, you see serpents with arms and legs. So wait the primordial serpents are growing wings.. now arms and legs.. HMMM?
Comes on now people, it's obvious what's happening. Primordial serpents have been profiting off of mans struggles from the start, you can see almost serpent like symbols on Gwyns armor. They're turning themselves into dragons through the power of souls.
'The serpent is an imperfect dragon and symbol
of the Undead. Its habit of devouring prey
even larger than itself has led to an
association with gluttony.'
and BOOM ancient dragons. Everything happens again. Dark Souls 1 remastered confirmed?!
pa ms we only ever saw the head they could have had feet and little fat bodies we dont know
Considering they're called primordial 'serpents', doubtful.
Well probly easier to carve statues in that manner
Most of scandinavians serpents are considered dragons. There is a difference between a dragon and a wyvern, but both can be seen as a serpents since they are represented with a long snake-like body. The primordial serpents could be the dragons we know.

Just want to point out that the egg imagery in the Fillianore sequence is remarkably like the quote in Demian “The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.” Now Abraxas is a deity meant to encompass both light and dark, both chaos and order, so in my mind this is a subtle commentary on how maybe the cycle is broken, that rather than have gods who fight to rekindle the age of light or create an age of darkness, the God in power is one beyond the cycle of light and dark, instead encompassing both in one.
Like the "True" ending in ds2?

Alright, I've got a neat little detail for y'all!
Did anyone else figure out that the Old Piligrim Woman is actually High Priestess Emma? In the description of her ashes it says that she was "a wet nurse of royalty", and if we consult the description of the Priestess Ring, it reads "The High Priestess also served as the prince's wet nurse". And just in case you need further convincing, take a look at the ashes' picture - there's a certain ring on one of the fingers :)
Just hit me - she mentioned she wanted to see "an angel"! Possible connection to Gertrude?
Dude, did you copy and paste that from the stone humped hags fextralife page comments?
The other way around, actually X) Copy-pasted this on the wiki so more people can see it
True, also she mentions Lorian as if she knew him personally.
what the fuck kinda JOJO eyes over heaven shit is this?
I am surprised you made no mention of Midir's boss area. It bears uncanny resemblance to the intro cinematic of the first Dark Souls. The long rocky passage, leading to a massive cavern... where the first flame was found.
Not to mention all the undead corpses inside it, which probably suggest the "dark" he was kept around to eat was just the humans the gods were oppressing.
'Oppressing' is such a harsh word... I prefer 'Containing'
Humans and their Abyss are full of hunger and greed.
Gwyndolin I love you.
Gwyndolin I really like this theory, I didn't even think about it even though I've fought him countless times
They said that Midir was raised by the Gods (Gwyn) and made vows to protect Fillianore (his daughter) and consume the dark. For he is "immortal" (I assume ageless, still die by stabbing). Also the gods "punished' the pygmy lords by creating their own city hidden at worlds end containing them and their knights who were so close to the power of the abyss, (since humans came from dark their power also comes from the darkness). SO to me it seems Gwyn kept a dragon egg after the battle against the dragons, raised it. Placed the Ringed City on top of the location of the first flame. that's just my thinking. Really amazing to see old places melded with the new from the countless ages. Like earthen peak, anor londo, etc. And how they've changed or see it completely taken over by a different force and twisted in their vision. Alright I'm done typing.
Those statues in the ringed city are nearly identical to the Crucified feral hollows in the Crucifixion Woods
Those things are hollow?!
@@Noname-om3pp i mean most of the foes are hollows
and those specific ones i think theyre called somewhat werewolves, i forgot the right term they are officially called, damn
@@Suveramort lycanthropes I believe
@@Crappy9922 yes! it!
Funny you should mention that, that pattern (the circle with the line down the center) is kinda similar to the Sword of Avowals, the ceremonial blade you “marry” Anri with.
Considering the paint for a new painting is literally made out of the blood of the desendants of the pygmies this has to mean that the new painting will be most powerful and grandiose.
But here is what I want to believe(but highly unlikely): that because she used blood she drew the world of Bloodborne and BAM here we have the origins of the bloodborne universe. Again highly unlikely but LET ME DREAM DAMMIT
woah
Thats what I was thinking as well lol
The ending is so abrupt I was thinking that the "blood" of the dark soul must be there for a reason. Blood Souls hype
It's interesting because she wants to create a cold world, which could mean a world without fire, but it is born of blood, so it is possible the world of Bloodborne was created here. Although I don't think I'd want that world to be named after Dat Boi, the character I just beat the game with lol.
alienArcanist it does sound good though. Imagine a sage in the distant future telling an adventurer ,"Seek the cold, dark painting of Dat Boi." Sounds cool, no? (my painting's name is Kawaii Desu Chan and I'm damn proud of it)
Luka Kapanadze i think she created the dark souls 1 world which is why so many details are different in the sequels
The Primordial Serpent statues before Midir, you can see their body shape, and 3 out of 4 miss the top of their head.
That's just variation in the statues - They exist all over the DLC in both eyeless and eyed variants.
MystMGames they are also in the base game
I think it's neat, the differences we're shown between those statues in the Ringed city - where the Serpents appear more monstrous, and foul - compared to Lothric - where they appear more Divine and angelic.
I guess the pygmies really fucking disliked the Serpents!
In the shrine where you drop off into Midir´s boss fight there are statues showing the entire body of a Primordial Serpent (Most likely Kaathe), it´s pretty disturbing...
I'm thinking It's Fraampt, considering there's titanite in his mouth. He's known to grind titanite down for you in DS1. And now we know angels are part of the religion of the Church of Londor, who follow Kaathe. So, I'm now rethinking the Serpant statues in Lothric castle altogether.
Didn't notice the titanite, that's awesome
There's actually a lot of potential narrative to be gained from that room.
First of all, there's statues of -a- Primordial Serpent, whether it's Kaathe or Frampt or something else is up to you, but also there's a symbol prominently displayed in this small church that resembles the same symbol that the Sword of Avowal resembles (you see this symbol in multiple places throughout the ringed city, primarily buildings that are the most submerged in the abyssal water), which might possibly link it to the Sable Church.
Then there's the fact that little church is actually kept secret behind a secret passage...WITHIN a temple that has a monument to Gwyn giving the Pygmy a crown.
All of that says quite a bit about the situation.
Awesome statue, sadly all you get is a Chloranthy ring +3
there's no potential. we already know from yuria of londor that she was either working for kathe or carrying on his will as she mentions him by name.
I summoned shira with me to fight midir, did not interact with her after, then when I was searching the area with Gael, I walked into a shrine, and Shira appeared and called me a traitor, and I had to kill her :'(
James Kun she's always hostile dumbass
Same with me when I thought hawkwood was a hollow sitting on the shrine's stairs.
She turns hostile only after you shatter Filianore's Kinder Egg. Once you do you are thrown into the future, which is why you fight her in her room, only destroyed by time now.
Jay F It wasn't the future. It was the illusion. Bitch been druggin us since we 1st came in.
Nah fam, its the future, first the whole 'time is convoluted' mechanic we keep hearing about throughout the series and the fact that the pygmy lords call Gael "The Red Hood" serves as proof that he has built up a reputation over time.
If you didnt know, the ariandel chapel lights on fire the more you progress through the ringed city dlc
The Demon Prince boss room is the Firelink shrine from Dark Souls 1. After the boss we're walking down the tunnel where Frampt once talked to us. Oh and don't forget Earthen Peak form Dark Souls 2.
Oh man I couldn't believe that Lapp was no other than the beloved to us all Siegward of catarina? Amirite guys?
his favorite character !!
Yeah I bet Matt was shocked to see good ol' Siegward in the DLC.
Vaati! You can also revive Judicator Argo with the Velka statue in the Undead Settlement.
I guess it has some story significance.
03:24 Look, is Siegward
But is just a theory XD
a game theory
but solved
Juan Augusto Villacorta Fuentes Good fucking job man! Time to remove my comment. I thought I was original. :(
I am deceased
It's been out like a few hours and there's already things I missed?!?! I literally just downloaded the DLC now
I can't watch the video now because of spoilers but I'll leave a like anyway and come back when I'm done 😊
Kokkie Monster 69 are you done?
Its been out for 13 hours now lol thats more than a few bruh
Well vaati got the dlc a few days ago before it became public so he had some time to find these things.
You can actually get patches as a summon on judicator Argo if you've done his questline
Yup. Not Lapp, Patches. He really is your friend now!
He was your friend in 1st game where you summon him at multiple bosses , a friend that was killed by all in the end :D
Teemu Strandén That's really fuckin' kewl! Thanks!
It really made me feel a certain goodness when he kicked you but in the direction you needed to go. Said (from what I understood) that the things he's done to get what he wants was futile in the end, and wished you luck, then he helps you fight the spear of the church which is pretty sick. My only question, is that the last we see of him in the ringed city?
Teemu Strandén the real patches or the Lapp version of patches
Here's another cool detail, the desert area from the future where you fight Gael was already shown in the first seconds of the teaser trailer for the original game I think (the scene where the pilgrim falls)
Ds1 or ds3
@@ea-sc7vs ds3
Did you notice that Gael's red aura is composed by skulls?
Martyr Logarius?
Reused assets from Bloodborne.
Oh ok, didn't play BB :P
iWillWakeYouUp also, the massive tree-goat things in Farron Swamp use them, I don't think they're reused assets. Knowing Dark Souls, everything is chosen extremely specifically. More lore implications maybe
LucaShonen94 Gael 2nd/3rd phase = Guts
Sneaky Miyazaki is sneaky ;-)
O boi, all this lore is making me jizz my pants.
Son Tama lol
Lapp is the swedish translation for Patches
spenespene Good find!
spenespene hey that's actually true
Wonder what name the Swedish Dark Souls players got saddled with.
Famygdala Most just bought the English version.
Lapps whole armour is a 16-17th century swedish armour set with a frogmouth helmet! Nice find!
I know a cave's a cave and I'm probably like 5 years late to this revelation, but the cave in which you fight Darkeater Midir, doesn't the view look like the cave in the cutscene where all the nekkid not-yet-humans find the fire before the age of disparity?
It indeed is the same place
so is midir the abyss dragon mentioned by the milwood knights ?
Was wondering the same thing
Hrishikesh Sriman Narayan yes. I'm about 90% sure.
Wouldn't think so.
According to Shira, he was in danger of forsaking his vows, meaning it hasn't happened yet.
Hrishikesh Sriman Narayan no
+Sensko Time is convoluted also This huge speculation but I think The Millwood Knights are forsworn (they are in the painted world) because they lost all purpose when they discovered that the abyss dragon they thought a manifestation of dark was actually defending the world against it
I think the main trailer for Dark Souls 3 foreshadowed the final arena where you fight Gael.
Hey Vaati! I have a quite interesting one, if you didn't already know. Lapp, in Swedish actually translates to patch in English! A little hint towards who Lapp really is
You probably have though, went through the comments and saw that many people have already pointed it out.
The purging monument one, I happened across a weird hit-box in the middle of the swamp... right past the staircase and just randomly popped items next to it. Within a few minutes I turned into a humanity and was like, "AWESOME!" Then, I found the "riddle" and solved it by being like, "oh, yea, maybe I can turn into the sprite?"
PURE LUCK BUILD, YO!
Luck: 99
Something cool I'v noticed in the DLC is that you can see Lothric Castle and I think Anor Londo in the background of the final boss arena. The boss arena is the place in the games cover art too.
Hey it's also the same place as you see the pilgrims walking in, in the announcement trailer!
I figured out #1 early on. "Lapp" actually means "Patch" in Norwegian.
same in swedish, would therefore guess it has a similar translation in danish since the three languages are so similar
Didrik Lundh It does. Yet in Danish it is only with a single "P"
Thats what happens when you get lost and lose your personality. You become a nordic speaking person.
I figured it out as soon as I met him because he literally has the same voice... I said to my friend "either this is patches or they completely ran out of budget and had to reuse a voice actor."
what's up with that bug thing that says "and let the feast begin"?
there are some of them who are just talking if you get near them.
they preach that humans should not fear the abys and embrace it but the mask you find says that they failed as preachers of the abys because they let their hunger consume them hence the let the feast begin and why the npc keeps preaching how the abys is not to be feared.
They also seem to hint at invaders when they tell of three people who embraced the dark. The first one clearly refers to Alva and we find him later as an invader. The other two im not sure but i guess one is the silver knight, the other maybe the moaning knight.
One is Alva (or Greirat, if you think he's somehow a knight and Loretta is his beloved)
The girl who fears the crawling things is Irina.
The knight who fears the girl is Eygon.
The learning guy is Orbeck.
The one who slew her kin is Sirris.
The non-grub Finger is Leonhard.
Interesting. I seem to have missed one encounter with the talking locust. After the first one and the alva invasion, i thought they were are heralding the npc invaders. But it did not seem to fit after the first one. Never crossed my mind he might be referring to other Npcs outside the dlc. But you seem to be spot on, i totally missed the hints for Sirris, even though they are very clear and precise XD neither moon nor sunless sky. Just like the others.
Jarnauga I guess so. there are actually three of them you encounter, the same number of those invaders if i'm not mistaken.
Isn't it weird that Patches says "I'll stick you in my prayers"? He hates clerics after all.
mocking them perhaps
I could've called Lapp's identity just based on that voice alone. It's ALWAYS Patches.
It's always Patches, except when it's Lautrec.
Alexandra Wicks i put a "liar ahead" message before talking to him the last time, he couldn't fool me squatting like that ;)
Alexandra Wicks Someone left a message saying "Monstrosity ahead" in my game when you first see him. I didn't get it at first then it randomly hit me while I was exploring the swamp. lol
I've been trying to decipher what the Man-Locusts are talking about during there little speeches about the dark, and as far as I can guess right now they appear to be talking about various NPCs.
"One was a wayfaring knight, on an endless, forbidden search.
Only the Abyss granted closure, if not reunion with his beloved."
- Most likely this refers to Alva, considering his later appearance within the city and the nod to him being "Wayfaring". Likely the Abyss granting him closure refers to his taking comfort in Zullie, a dark witch.
"One met the dark with learning. But in the end, learned his knowledge was wanting."
- This one is tricky. I personally think this is referring to Aldia, who attempted to understand the Dark but only came to appreciate the futility of the curse as a whole ("Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark... what could possibly await us?"). This also could be referring to Orbeck or Logan, both of whom responded to their being cursed by adventuring out for knowledge, and both of whom met their fates because of it.
"One poor girl slew her own kin, but even so, was embraced, enveloped by the Abyss."
- This is most likely referring to Karla, as the Dark Edge sorcery described how it was "passed from mother to daughter" and "the young girl [if this is indeed Karla herself] never swung it more than once", presumably to kill her mother.
Other than her, another girl who we know slew her kin would be Seiglinde, though she is as far as we know completely unrelated to the Dark, so unless something happened to her after the events of DS1 this seems unlikely.
"And so, she lived in fear. Of the dark, of the things that gnawed at her flesh."
- Obviously Irina, though what is interesting is how the locust claims that "The Abyss has spawned no such creature". Indeed, the insects that we assumed to be haunting Irina are from the Deep, not the Dark, so I wonder how Irina is being affected by them, unless the two forces are more related than even the locusts know.
"And so, despite his weighty armour, he lived in fear. Of a delicate thing, little more than a girl."
- Given that this line is from the same locust as the previous one, we can assume this to be Eygon, who also appears later in the DLC. I wonder if he did in fact live in fear of Irina, or lived in fear for her. I always knew he cared ( ˘ ³˘)♥
If not him, this description could also apply to several characters from DS2, including Raime, Alva and Vendrick himself, though none of them match up to the whole statement as much as Eygon does.
What's really interesting about all this however, is how the locusts even know about these people. Have the become almost legendary figures throughout the ages? Can the Dark share experiences between it's creations in the same way you talk about how demons do in this video? Very odd.
The wayfaring knight is in reference to Alva and Zullie
I thought the "Poor girl who slew her own kin" was Sirris, since the locust also mentions a "Sunless Sky" and Sirris slew her own grandfather.
I could totally see that, I completely forgot about her! The only issues I could see with that would be that Sirris has no direct connection with the Abyss, and that the Locust also talked about how she did not find comfort in the moon, which would be a little odd for an acolyte of Gwyndolin. Then again, Sirris is not an active Blade of the Darkmoon according to Yorshka, so maybe she left the order at some point to seek her grandfather? Would her death then be her being "enveloped in the Abyss"?
EDIT: The specific quote is "Twas a comfort that neither moon nor sunless sky had afforded her before", which yeah, is pretty clearly about Sirris. I suppose that her apparent envelopment in the Abyss must just refer to her taking her own life after the end of her questline, but it was that specific description that made me think it'd be Karla. Guess the Dark ain't picky?
I think that irina was lying about the creatures nawing at her. I mean think of it she wants to become a fire keeper and when she does her voice changes and she becomes cold like she's lost her motive. maybe she thought being a fire keeper would restore her vision and so she lied and used us. I feel like eygon would have mentioned the creatures
Tin Can i think the moaning knight refers to morne, as id you change it a little - mourn - then it fits the description of "moaning", and he also has the same armor and all... however i do not know morne well, so...
I heard you added a comment of doubt to MatPat's theory video on who the protagonist of Dark Souls 3 is, but your comment got deleted. Did you delete it yourself or did MatPat delete it?
Based on the comments, MatPat deleted it. I honestly am not surprised. Recently GT has been a horribly rushed, poorly researched mess. MatPat has been an arrogant jerk who refuses to admit and apologize for his mistakes and instead deletes comments criticizing him. Just check out the mistakes in his For Honor video.
Heatwave619 this is happening to everyone something is wrong with the youtube comments the same thing has been happenig with select channels he made a short video on it hes not deleting comments they everyone and then after a while only matpat and the person who posted it could see it
Heatwave619 but i do agree with his videos getting worse
Am I the only one who thought Lapp was Lautrec at first because his and Patches' voices are pretty similar..?
Lautrec is Patches though...
No, lautrec isnt Patches. The version of lautrec in DS3 is Leonhart.
They both have the same voice actor
@Bernardo Alves the bedpost you've stubbed your toe on. Yep it's patches.
@@theblackbaron4119 your loving girlfriend? You guessed it, kicked off a ledge
What about the primordial serpents faces on the statues in some areas? it shows them with a body. an example can be seen in the second bonfire
even more strange is that these statues are completely different from the ones in the Grand Archives
I KNEW HE WAS PATCHES, GOD DAMMIT.
Great video lad. They never cease to inform and impress :)
thenthapple holy crap you watch vatti vidya
Dude...did u die?
Did you notice that you can also revive Argo through the Velka statue in the Undead Settlement? There are certainly some lore implications there.
Oi! Lorian defeated the Prince, not Lothric! Don't let that weeb get the credit!
How is Lothric a weeb?
GermanKraut How is he not?
SPOILERS: Was anyone else disappointed with the ending? Like, there wasn't even a cutscene or didn't wrap up much lore at all. I loved the final fight though for sure, but the fact that you're just left there and it's over without any indication feels weird. Like there should've been at least one final cutscene to send the game off.
(Spoilers) Incase you didn't know, you can go back and talk to the girl in the painting and she has extra dialouge after you kill the final DLC boss.
Rolando Carlos Manuel Yeah, that's true. I mean at least it is SOMETHING, but it just felt like an odd way to wrap up the souls series, ya know? Having one final badass cutscene with your character realizing that the world is already dead would've been really sick, but I guess it's dark souls fashion to do it this way.
Oh just wait for the Scholar of the Second Sin
Yeah, gameplay wise, I was satisfied. Lore, I felt it was just left a little too open ended, and not in that Dark Soulsy way.
NintendoGuyROBLOX EVEN I was dissapointed with the ending the gameplay was OH quality but the ending was bad I admit it a final cutscene would have been fucking amazing but maybe we are still missing something.
Spoilers
I'm the only one sad about the lack of resolution on the "painting a new world" quest?
You destroy the ringed city, Gael kill what it seen the Royal pygmies, you kill Gael and get the blood, than you go give the Blood tô the girl and all we get is:
"yeah thanks bro, now I'm gonna paint a new shitty cold as fuck place"
Hn Henrique I'm hoping there's more to it that Vaati will put together.
Hn Henrique maybe there is a way to get a New ending with this. The dlc only has 2 days from release. We need to investigate more
Sure that's one way to think about it.
Personally I felt happy and satisfied. No matter what kind of painting it is, it will still give shelter and comfort to any being that cannot find a place in the outside world.
And I was honored that she asked to name it after me, but I chose not to give her my name. I'm just a single fragment of the dark souls, of little import or worth. What's important is that we did in fact recover the Dark Souls, and with its power, we can all rest easy.
''Now im gonna paint another short ripoff DLC with only 2 Bossfights!''
God damn cycle bullshit. Heat Death is suppose to occur.
Patches laughing sounds like Mark Hamill's Joker
11:32 Lorian*
Anybody notice that "Oscar of Astora" his name broken down in Old English is "Os" = God/Divine "Car" = Spear
My heart burned when i saw u made a video about the ringed city because i first wanted to play it. But after ive finished it yesterday i was so sad cause the only bad thing about dark souls is that it ends. But then i realised ''hey, vaati is still there!'' and i was so happy remembering that there is this one youtuber that mastered the skill of telling the stories of dark souls and my joy returned! Thank you!
5:48
Hey Vaati stop playing Monster Hunter you're doing a Dark Souls video.
Guys the area you fight mider is where the first flame was
Mind Blown
I always thought that the zone where the first flame was, was the area where you fight Gwyn and that seems to be over an arch three, you can see the same three under Soul of cinder boss area
Fight Game how can you tell?
The Iris I had never thought of that
I don't think that Gwyn simply took the first flame and moved it to other place, Gwyn had to link the first flame at the first place where it born, and that should be the boss area of Gwyn and Soul of cinder. That's why Gwyn left Anor Londo and returned to the place where he found the first flame and his Soul of Lord.
WHAT THE UTTER FUCK PATCHES MADE IT THROUGH!?
dirzy doo he made it twice in DS3
Gosh, I killed him on my playthrough... he is a dick... what will happen now?
The Sun Bro maybe you killed dark souls 3 patches, and this one is the patches from dark souls 1 from the time of the gods
yeah good question, will lapp still appear if u kill patches?
Dude, Patches has been in Armored Core, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls 2 had Pate.
You probably realized already but Lorian killed the demon prince not Lothric like you said.
@Spin-chan Art nah, lothric was tiny and weak
+VaatiVidya Did you notice the striking similarities between the ringed city and the city of Londor while you were playing through the dlc? The small Envoy Banner states that Gwynn gifted the ringed city to the pygmies who took the dark soul, who would later become hollow and as Yuria states, Londor is a city of hollows. Another large resemblance to this is that we're told that Londor was founded around a church, and we find the same thing in the ringed city, with the church of Fillianore being at the center of it all. And by far the biggest thing I found during my time playing that hints at me that the ringed city is or is related to Londor, is that if you use your binoculars to look at the tops of the towers from the wall at the start of the area, you can see that the symbol from the Sword of Avowal is all over the ringed city, on the tops of all the biggest towers. Just something I thought was kinda neat ^^
I caught on that the ringed city is indeed londor but I had a constant feeling that it might have been built on top of oolacile.
It's strongly hinted at in game that Farron Swamp is actually where Oolacile used to be, by the prescene of the talking mushroom corpses, Elizabeth's corpse, Dusk's set next to said corpse, and the Oolacile magic scroll all being found there. And another thing pointing towards the ringed city being Londor that I only noticed a few minutes ago, is that there are little figures of Sister Friede carved onto the door going into the church of Felianore
KittyGirl 586 The ringed city is Londor and it also seems to be every other world in dark souls including earthen peak Ds2 and original firelink shrine Ds1. A lot people aren't getting all the refrences because they never played the other two.
I believe it was the old pigmy lady at the start of the dlc who says that you are at the place where all the great empires go when they lose their might and power.
This was what she said:
"At the close of the Age of Fire, all lands meet at the end of the earth.
Great kingdoms and anaemic townships will be one and the same.
The great tide of human enterprise, all for naught.
That's why I'm so taken by this grand sight.
This must be what it's like to be a god."
Well..the demon prince area looks a lot like firelink shrine and..below that far below..in the dark waters of the ringed city, you do find the white trees and items from Oolacile.
You also turn into a humanity sprite if you use chameleon, It's very possible that it is oolacile
It's interesting that the various dark spirits in this DLC can invade you without you being embered.
when I see Lapp squat. I know this Nigga is Patch. real slav
I’m four years late and very unoriginal but the spinning humanity sprite at the end made me smile, it was very cute. Thank you, Vaati :)
Vaati u work fast the dlc just came out and u already have 10 secrets
andrew HI the dlc came out earlier in Australia
Oh that explains:)
andrew HI because he got it 3 or 4 days ago because he is part pf the "press"
Lapp spelled backwards is actually Patches...
MooMoink God, it all makes sense now.....WHAT A FUUUL I'VE BECOME!!!
can you do a final video please. explaining in a fool proof way the entire gist of dark souls up to now. I really still don't understand this game. I get the lore on some parts but I mean the main story like about the dark soul (what is this when was this in play in dark souls 3) I thought it was about linking a fire.
where is ringed city set because Gael is roided up in the final boss fight. is there a time skip or something. why is patched here... please explain this.
themanwhohasnohead to be honest I have no idea about the main lore either but I can answer some questions for you. gael went to the ringed city to find a dark soul for the painter girl to make another painting and he found the pygmy lords with the blood all dried up so he wants to finish this and he kills and eats them to get the blood of the dark soul and he gets all cracked out and it ruins his mind and since he is mad and all screwed up he tries to kill you to get your part of the dark soul and the ringed city is all the civilizations all collided and smashed together kinda like those buildings in the back of the kiln of the first flame by the way I recommend looking stuff up because I am still confused as hell on this and the main lore of how everything came to be in souls. it is so obscure or maybe I just need to git gud at lore
A super duper long ass time ago huge ass dragons ruled the earth. Lesser forms of life were around living in darkness and hidden places. There was this powerful force hidden somwhere(the one piece, all spark, the force, ambrosia, the god tree, the odin force, the infinity gems, the holy grail, cosmic egg, lol you get the point). One day 4 lesser beings found it. They all got a piece of it(They call these pieces of it's power "lord souls"). They all became super powerful(gods). They became gods of fire, lightning, and death. But the last lesser being took it's lord soul and vanished. A long time after that they decided that the world belonged to them. So the gods and a few of their offspring decided to take out the dragons cause they were in the way. They had a long war but the battle was even. One day a funny looking picked on and bullied dragon double crossed his race. He joined up with the gods and told them their weakness. End of the age of dragons, it's now the age of fire( aka GODS). All was good until one day the leader of the gods discovered something that disturbed him. He discovered that the 4th god who vanashed, lord soul was the most powerful. The king was a gready bastured and over the many years became paranoid. He thought that one day he might overthrow his kingdom. He eventually found the missing god and tricked him into being his underling. He gave him and his people a city(the ring city) and acted as if they were equals. He left one of his daughters(Fillenor) there (to secretly keep them in check) who was looked upon as a goddess. But this was all apart of the paranoid kings master plan. The ring city was just a trap to isolate them(if you are a naruto fan, they are basically the uchiha clan lol.) He feared that lord soul so much he felt it was evil. So he named it the " DARK SOUL!!!!!!!". 1st he spread nasty rumors about this "dark soul". 2nd he put all kinds of fail safes in place like darkeater Midir etc etc. He even tricked his daughter(R.I.P) into being a fail safe. Saying he would come back for her(he didn't). 3rd he put a curse on them that basically linked their lord souls(THE DARK SOUL) power to the gods. Last, he sacrificed most of his power and that became the final piece of his trap(the first flame). Basically It created "the matrix"(yeah, the movie) for the people of the "dark soul". A never ending loop of bull shit to keep them enslaved. A random person(champion lol) would be picked and they were sent on a epic quest to "link the flame"(Give a piece of their power to the paranoid kings trap) so the world doesn't end. This goes on for ages, while the gods sit back and laugh. Actually the world wont end, the world = the gods remaining top of the food chain. Eventually the trap finally fails and people finally get out of the matrix. There were other ancient beings that were around back during the age of dragons. Who were secretly helping the people of the "dark soul" behind the scenes. Those funny looking long neck creatures with floppy ears. later it was revealed that the god with the "dark soul" was the ancestor of HUMANITY!!!!! End of the age of fire(gods), hello to the age of "darkness/dark"(HUMANITY!!!!!).

LOL it's crazy how this game was set up. You have to learn the story piece by piece. You have to actually read every item description, talk to every NPC, read signs, look at statues etc. etc. It's easy once you've played DS1 & DS3 up NG+5. There's still some little things I left out too. No need to play DS2, that was a side story.
Patches is like an old friend. He can annoy you at times, but at the end of the day, you're still glad he's around to make life more interesting.
If you put your sign down in the room before midir hole you get summoned as a church of a spear and fight patches.
