everytime I beat Elden Beast, I like to imagine my character holding the flesh & shard of Alexander, looking fondly at the remains of a friend and thinking "we did it, we became the strongest, together."
I’m going to start carrying his jar shard every time I fight a boss, just so I can say we did it together.
It is both cute and unsettling at the same time 😅
we have devoured the very gods, togetha!
@@zephels TOGETHAAAAA!
😭😭😭
He's been reborn as Let me solo her. A great champion, as he wished to be.
After Radahn fight
Alexander : you are a mighty champion~
Tarnished who has died maybe 100 times and needs to spam summon to win : mister...you are the true champion here
Alexander: sings our praises as if we're something special
The truth: through hard work and dedication, Alexander has earned the right to call us friends
alexander: am nothing but a crock. One hit was all it took to crack me, and for my insides to come spilling out.
After that, I hid like a coward.
me after seeing him tank radahn coming back to orbit move while everyone else died and continued to fight: why you lying?
@@challenginghuntsman6916
Him being modest.
I wouldnt of killed the fire giant if not for alexander
It's actually really cathartic having his questline end the way it did. Unlike most soulsborne NPCs where you feel bad leading them towards a death you had no control over, there's some fulfillment in helping someone realize their life's goal despite you being the direct cause of their death. He went fron someone who faced much self-doubt over their capability as a warrior to someone who takes pride in dying as one at the hands of the warrior he respects the most. I don't think Alexander would have it any other way.
this actually made it worse for me
He reminded me a lot of the onion knight and I fucking loved that
Tbf elden ring is alot more uhhh bright(?) Than past fromsoft games
@@NateTheGreat368 I mean, Bloodborne at least got a good ending.
Yeah but the really lasts only 30 seconds tho
We should all aspire to be as courageous as Uncle Alexander, for "All vessels are destined to one day break.
But the great Alexander lived as a warrior to his last."
Nah I don't want to get river of blooded like I did to that pot
@@bungiecrimes7247 you monster
*aspire
Dude. The first time I heard Alexander yell out “Hello” was probably 1am and I had my headphones with Dolby Atmos on… which means it really sounded like someone was yelling from the real world. Holy dick balls it scared the heck out of me. But then he and I became best buddies :)
That why let me solo her wear a jar
Does dolby atmos that impressive? I never used dolby atmos.
If this is that impressive I will buy one headphones
@@Praxss yes, it’s phenomenal. It’ll sound like something is above you and to the right (where my stairs to the 2nd floor are) and so an unexpected sound will make you turn and actually look 🙈
@@Praxss cheers to you bro and may you enjoy them
“Now hit me in the back with something big”
Alexander is like the solaire or the sigward of Elden ring. A person who is a genuine friend to you in this cruel world
From software just loves making the most lovable npcs die horrid or meaningless deaths usually but at least Alexander died fighting the greatest soul he knew
Blaiid and Yura also gave me the “brothers in arms” vibe . Especially when shrabiri says to the tarnished “why the long face ?” It’s one of the few times where we actually get to see how the tarnished feels outside of the choices we make for him/her . No matter what choices you make in game , your character will always be sad finding Yura possessed by shrabiri
I never finish his dialogue bc i see in someone video after shrabriri finish his quest he just toss yura body aside. Fuck shrabriri,fuck chaos,fuck frenzy flame.
That’s why I had killed Shrabri I know it’s still yura but still
Everytime i see that asshole shabriri, even in my chaos run, i throw him off the edge of the cliff with a huge explosion
Yea the moment I saw that I immediately went to kill him the idea of him using my friends body irked me to no end and I'm not gonna lie the battle was hard but I killed him without dying at all in the process hopefully Yura can rest easy now
Understandable; That one moment is the sole reason I refuse to go near the Frenzied Flame. I will *not* see that poor warrior's final rest twisted by a force more wicked than I... And ironically, that repeats with Miquella.
I can’t forget that first interaction with Alexander. When you first find him in a pit. I had not seen a warrior jar at that point and thought a human was stuck in a jar. Imagine my surprise when I finally understood the jar was the one talking to me.
I am so glad I'm not the only one who thought that lol
i was trying to break the jar because i thought someone was inside too
Siegward and Alexander, the unsung heroes of our battles. We both find them in a little bit of pickle or stuck and it's always beginning of great friendship... Your only friendship in these worlds
don't forget Siegmeyer
@@undercover_matin To this day I don't believe he actually became hollow I always thought his daughter was lying.
@@KratosisGod I mean, you took his reason to live, by accident, so he is hollow by the logic of the game.
@@KratosisGod I agree with you on that one. Her talks of killing her father 'again' was rather 'uncaring' IMO. Plus you don't ever fight Siegmeyer; there is a chance that you can finish his quest-line (all the way to the Chaos Eaters' poison pit at the end), NOT free his daughter, and yet never fight against a Hollowed Siegmeyer at any time afterwards no matter how unfinished his daughter's own questline is.
Also not sure what 'her mother's message' was suppose to be, but her being nonchalant about 'rekilling' her father again seemed rather odd. But then again, there are a lot of odd things (and inconsistencies) within the Souls Series... which you know, being undead means that someone is suppose to get up 'again' after they have died (and many people talk about it, so its part of the lore), but everyone perma-dies for some reason. But that kinda discussion is a can of worms on its own.
Round things are friendly.
I'm honestly so sad that our fight wasn't a fully fledged boss fight. like out of all npcs we meet i think alexander deserved it the most
Imagine if instead of gideon facing you in the ashen capital it was Alexander who’s secretly been following you since volcano manor gathering the flesh of fire giant, the godskin duo, malenia (if you beat her) and maliketh and asks you to to fight him before venturing onward to godfrey.
@@nathanhendrickson790 joooooo that would have been an even crazier reveal then gideon. Just him standing there with his arms crossed and saying "ah i knew you'd come"
he would 1 shot you and he would have 10000000000000 hp if that were the case@@nathanhendrickson790
@@Zerosenpai25Ong bro
Fun fact if you don't make it fully through Alexander's quest a dragon is in place of Alexander in farm azula meaning Alexander killed the ancient dragon which is a feat in of its self
It breaks my heart to defeat Alexander in Farum Azula and if he didn't drop one of the best talismans in the game I wouldn't. It's like they make you love these NPCs in their games and then make you kill them 😭
warrior died doing wat he loved, right? bet he was happy.
Typical from software. Physically hurting you in game and emotionally destroying you irl.
Don't feel bad for him. He died a warrior, a hero, and one of the greatest rivals that the Elden Lord ever faced. That was, I think, enough for him.
@@ninjahattori7576 love the reference. 🫡
That’s how he wanted to go. Still sad I feel comfort knowing he died doing what he loved. Similar to Isshin
Alexander : you are the greatest of champions I am honoured to lose to you
Me : I just summoned Tiche and stood back, my guy you are the true champion, I do what is necessary to progress
To be honest I found his fight kind of disappointing, but I will not deny him his valor. He was my friend, and a stalwart warrior. He will be greatly missed.
RIP Alexander, greatest Warrior Jar of them all,
the most honorable Fighter of the Lands in Between and such a rare Gentleman amongst all the Combatants
Man I would love if they had an ending where you mend the Elden Ring with Alexander’s Innards and thus begins the Age of the Jars, where the jars can feel safe and undisturbed by poachers, and ofc we would become their Potentate
Alexander really is the closest thing we get to a friend in this game, he arguably has the best ending in the game. He dies happy and proud, as any warrior jar should be
The only Rival /friend that gave me joy throughout the game experience.
✊Long Life Iron Fist Alexander , the Best Campion at all Time✊
Of all the things I looked up before playing this game Alexander wasn't one of them, but I immediately loved his personality, and every time, I accidentally ran into him hyped me up. But when I came across the last few times I knew a show down was coming and it broke my heart especially the fact that he exploded. I literally yelled. Why could he just come with me to the end?
I really hope they explore more of the pot boyz in the next elden ring game, they are such a cool concept, even a clay pot can become a great being if they want too, just like us, made from fragile meat and bones.
I want to see what happens when you put a dragon heart in the pots.
the spirit of the onion bois lives on in alexander
If we lose to Alexander, he should become Elden Lord
100%.. m in tears since 10 mins thinking of Alexander our truest companion and friend 😭😭
Alexander became my absolute favorite character, the very moment I helped him get him bum out of that hole! It broke my heart when the final portion of the quest happened..... Ugh I wish they made a summon just for him that we could call upon.. (yes we have the little jars spirit summons but I want my Alexander spirit summon... ;; )
I actually just heard the rare alexander dialog after 430+ hours
@bobertwithar I got it on my first playthrough by sheer accident. I wanted to take a shortcut to moon veil. I love Alexander.
After the Beating Radahn, the dialogue he says makes me deathly sad. I wish there could’ve been an emote or something that would make him feel a little better. I am NOT sentimental about a pot
and the fact his talisman he gives us is so powerful, it really is likely players will use it to become stronger themselves, and that piece will live on with us. Just as the piece we give to jar bairn lives with them.
R.I.P to tye greatest jar warrior and friend the lands between have and will ever know,the one true champion
One video about Blaidd and Iji, and their dark fate ? Those guys were good friends, but ended so bad. Who's responsible ?
Greater Will, Ranni’s Two Fingers.
Ranni indirectly caused their deaths
They died by the black knife assassins
@@Magnumxd3506 Iji yes but blaidd did not die to the black knives he killed the ones that came for him
Blaidd was gifted to Ranni by the Two Fingers and was fated to eventually betray Ranni, against his will, should she oppose the Greater Will. Iji, loyal to Ranni, was already aware of Blaidd’s fate and possibly his own as well, though I can’t remember why the Black Knives went after Iji.
Imo the dead jars at the erdtrees are those that fulfilled their original purpose. To transport the dead to the trees
We need a DLC quest to reforge Alexander as an iron jar through collecting the flesh of warriors so he can help us against the endgame bosses
Alexander: "Help me im stuck"
Also alexander 3 seconds after: "what are you doing step tarnished?"
About the avatars, that's the oppiste, the jars are there because they where originally used in rituals, but because death is sealed because of Marika, thouse Jars came to life.
Killing jarbro Alexander was the saddest moment next to having to kill Blaid when he goes insane
I had his shard in my Talisman slot the entire rest of the game, even when a better one could have been used in the situation.
I also did his and Hoslow’s quests right the first time and got to see Jar Bairn consuming both Alexander and Hoslow. I cried
I love the parallels that the Great Jar Alexander’s narrative draws between his kind, the living Jars, and our kind, the Tarnished. As we see again and again, to simply exist outside of the Erdtree’s dogma of life is a fundamental affront to the Erdtree itself. Yet despite this life finds its own ways to continue to exist, and even to defend itself against whatever threatens it.
It’s obvious that the life cycle of living jars evolved from the tarnished whose flesh fills their hulls. And while they share a common need to defend themselves against a world that is hell set against ending their existence, the Jars must do so without the Erdtree’s a ability to turn their runes into strength. So of course our Cuz’s had to develop their own way to become strong enough to confront the threats within lands between.
Just like we fight enemies and gather runes to rest and have our maiden concert them into strength, Alexander’s journey plainly mimics this. The twist being that without a grace to rest at Alexander relied on us to pass his runes, or as it’s known more broadly in video games - his experience, on to Jarbairn, the next Great Jar. And so like that Jarbairn becomes his uncle while also being something a bit more, to continue the cycle and protect his people such that their own way of life can continue.
The part that really gets me is that just like how we can’t complete our journey without Melina, The Great Jar Alexander cannot continue his without us. And this is just a beautiful way to prove that Elden Ring is not about our destiny to become Elden Lord, it’s about the friends we meet along the way.
Brain Blessed would have been the perfect cast for Alexander
Alexander is a pot with great warriors inside him, so he gives us a pot to wear, because he considers us not only a great warrior, but a hero.
Let's just say I wasn't...
prepared to cry...
I actually cried, when I fought him. I thought I’d see him again later, but when he died I couldn’t stop bawling my eyes out :,(
By far Alexander is one of my favourite characters
The end actually made me cry dude, he was actually the friendliest character I’ve ever met
What is also interesting is that the perfumers don’t look like they’re sum sorts of undead their body don’t look like they’re decaying they still look human ...
When you think about it he is technically one of the characters that you talk to and doesn't try to kill you half way though and challenges your and doesn't try to murder you without warning
Neither does Millicent, unless you decide to betray her.
I've heard that the jars aren't poached by erdtree guardians, but are made to collect and deliver bodies to the trees. It's marked on the wax seal on the pots. But they seem to gain personality and get sidetracked with sidequests as Alexander does, possibly from picking up one of the grace-given, gaining the heritage of fallen Tarnished to achieve the goal of overcoming the gods.
Yes indeed he is, thank you for noticing.
1st time: So you are Siegward in this game. Also how did you managed to get stuck ?
2nd time: You should have warned me about that dogs and that abomination of chickens scatter around this hellhole.
3rd time: You were literally a tank in this fight. Along with Blaidd.
4th time: How !!?
5th time: Please speak a little bit faster bcz that Wyrm does not look very happy.
6th time: Onwar-Wait I cannot summon Torrent !??
7th time: I can not have happiness, can I ?
Literally cannot have an NPC friend that still “alive” in this GOTY.
Man, I kinda wish From soft wouldn't always kill the characters I like in their games. Though some of these stories were actually really well told in their own subtle way. Alexander and Blaidd where easily the most likable characters in this game. As far as what the beliefs where around being a true stalwart warrior that these tales drew from I can't say it wasn't portrayed too unfairly. These tales where meant to inspire bravery and conviction and teach people how to be light hearted as well as strong good people.
These two characters showed the best of these qualities that made me love the old poems and stories that our game drew from and is set in. They where truly loyal and worthy allies that I would count as my friends. Each earned an honorable place in the weaving of their fates. Something any true warrior could ever ask for is an honorable life and in many cases an honorable death, as we see in characters like Radahn. (Still one of the coolest bosses they ever made In these games) In Alexander's case it was precisely because he grew and bettered himself because of us and because of this fire in a warriors heart the olden stories are so fond of.
After seeing these rather bitter sweet questlines to their conclusions it actually spurned me all the more to earn my own place as Elden Lord at the end of the game, so as to see that none of it was at all in vain. If the importance of honor is a thing in this game for characters lorewise, and to me as a player the way it is here, they surely earned a place at my roundtable when all is said and done.
At least Boc can have a happy ending.
@@MrRattlebones640 I mean, to think about it for a minute, how many characters are actually left alive at the end of the game? The only full quest otherwise I can think of to have a positive no death conclusion that's also satisfying is Nepheli's quest where we help name her the rightful ruler of Limegrave. Also Rennala still has her egg, so I think that's an all around win as well :p
@@Dan_ModernDayViking None of the characters survived the end of their questlines in my first play through except Roderika.
@@KratosisGod Roderika burns alive.
It wouldn’t be a FromSoftware game if everything wasn’t tragic.
I hated this fight, not because it wasn't fun and challenging, far from it! But I hate that I had to kill Alexander. Darn From soft why can't I have nice things in your games. 😭
I kind wished that If Alexander actually killed us, and revive we go to him and get a further quest line with him, have him join us in brothers in arms as we storm the Erd Tree, then before we face Radagon and the Elden Beast, Alexander wants to fight us one last time.
Jar Alexander's story made me cry, the presentation of his story in this video has me feelin it too man
There are some NPC's who I'd consider friends in The Lands Between. Alexander, Blaidd, Iji, Nepheli, Boc, Hewg, and Roderika. But Alexander really stands out as like, the friendliest friend around. Blaidd is very reserved, Iji and old kind man, Nepheli doing her own thing, Hewg being surprised that I'm still alive and Roderika being sad. But Alexander? Even in his saddest moments, he does his best to cheer himself and me up. He's being a pal, very bro like, and even in the end, he's doing his best to make good of a bad situation.
Bro... Plz stop... I have been literally crying 10-15 mins.. Heck I don't even know how long has it been that I'm crying.... I know I'm late to this comment but damn... not many games have affected me like this...
Thanks for the help, Alexander. We took down Radahn and the fire giant together. Couldn’t have done it without you. I took down the elden beast with your talisman equipped to make sure you had one last battle alongside me.
We did it. Together.
The greatest warrior jar of them all, and a true friend.
I'd love to see Alexander's VA react to his lines for the first time.
"OK, I like him so far...Oh, God, WHAT do you want me to say?"
I like how you said that Alexander ran after 1 hit from radon and we did all the heavy lifting while in reality i just stayed in the back the whole time letting all the summons do the work and to top that off Alexander got the final hit.
I’d like to direct anyone, who wants to feel the feels, to a video called “an elden ring story- a warrior within” great story telling and makes you truly appreciate Alexander as a Warrior and comrade.
Love this video for the lore side of Alexander. Praise the Champion!
Vaati video right? I was crying when I finished it.
@@YannMetalhead yes! It was a beautifully made video, great story telling and cinematic work with all in game footage. I loved Alexander as a warrior friend and admired him even more after that video.
In the souls games, siegmeyer from dark souls one gives a good resemblance of alexsander,though they may not be the exact same their personality to help you and treat you like a freind never chages,same with siegward in darksouls three,all three are brave kind hearted warroirs who help you in battle and you either way you put it each one you help and they help you in return...but it's like alexsander says "they lived a warroir to their last" and each one will leave the scar of friendship within all they meet...and all three show dominance by running in battle and yelling their name and makeing it known
“ would you kindly like to undertake my ordeal ? “
I ‘ d like to think , as obvious as it is , that he wants us to become the strongest warrior in his stead .
Regardless of the achievement you get and bosses you defeat , the game wastes not even a single breath in letting you know you ain ‘ t shit .
But he .. Alexander - he still believes that we are the stuff of the champions .. the strongest one .
Just like how living jars have flesh inside them , just as Alexander says that all the warrior will be one as becoming the strongest .
Alexander gives us a part of his own being - in his eyes , perhaps that still means , he ‘ s there fighting with us .
He ‘ s there , a champion with the nobody no one ever believed at the end of all roads when we defeat the very Elden beast .
Alexander .. finally becomes the strongest with us .
Who knew that Alexander giving us a jar helmet would become so sinonimous with hope and power.
I swear to the outer gods if they kill jar-barin in the dlc I will riot
I’m not crying you’re crying
rarely do i not keep alexander’s shard in my talismans lineup, and never has it left my inventory
When i picked up my phone today, i didn't think I'd be pouring my eyes out over a talking jar
I know it may be a little premature...but i think that the little jar will become our second friend warrior in a DLC
Alexander carried me in the fire giant fight
I always morn for Alexander yet praise his warrior spirit and smile at his attempt to better himself each time he falls
I only saw Alexander at the very beginning, & The Festival. Did not see him after that. He must have gotten sidetracked, found a jar-maiden, & fathered some baby jars.
May he live a long, prosperous life, & become that "pot 'o gold" for an eternity!
Alexander the Best wifu
Finally got to one of your vids early. Not months later. I will stuff the learnings here into my innards
Jar detected. Engaging weapon systems
This footage of the fight with Alexander is amazing great job
He's like a modern Pokémon rival! 😀
"I thought I could fix my cracks in this mountains fire, but it's only lukewarm here."
"My brother in arms, I'm human, and I can WALK across this lava, I could have told you that."
Alexander should have had a boss battle health bar.
stepjar I'm stuck 😔
auuugggghhhhhhh
I love the direction this video went. It really gives love to the beautiful writing of FromSoftware and Miyazaki's vision of his characters. Rather than just sticking to the lore, this time we're shown what we do have in this crumbling world, and why it matters.
I've managed to give Bloodborne a pause, but Gehrman's music in this sparking it up once again.
Amazing video as always, though!
Alexander is much like greirat, don’t do the quest line and save yourself from the tears
He's more than a friend... A brother
No matter my drip, I always wear the jar helmet. Iron Fist, Alexander is a true bro if ever I saw one.
Oh I loooved the jars, Alexander made me so happy as did Jar Bairn, coz.
Naruto Rivals: Jar Edition
Long live The Great Alexander!
i couldn’t fight alexander i could box with every other enemy but alexander was where i put down my sword
a proud, fulfilling death is a blessing in this game
Bairn is pronounced bern rather that barn.
Scottish for child.
This very sad Questline . But ~All vessels are destined to one day break~ .
He died as he lived a true Warrior i am honored to have counted him amongst my friends
I cried 🥲
So when is that dream of lands between video coming???
Dam imagine a movie about Elden Ring 😭
Shards of Alexander help me beat Elden Beast... Thx Alexander, you may think you're not but you're one of the greatest honorable Warrior in The land's between history.
"This vessel was found lacking..." NO! YOU WERE ENOUGH, ALEXANDER!
They should have give him a boss health bar. They disrespect my jar best friend.
I'm not crying, you're crying. 😭
There are few things greater than to die a warrior's death. To Alexander!
He really reminds me of siegward because of how he acts cool and funny and a cheerful friend and you have to keep saving him which he owes you a debt. Very similar
Genuinely the best npc in all of fromsoftwares games. Fight me.
Alexander and blaidd are the two best fromsoft charcters
Siegward of Catarina. Lapp/Patches in DS3. Solaire of Astora.
@@filippogrimaldi7228 he is basically just solaire and siegward combined, but he's definitely better then patches
People like to fight for Ranni, Or the frenzied flame or melina. But I fight for none other than Alexander, because he showed many of us that even the impossible can be done and that a warrior is within us all
Thanks to the developers for creating a character that my young nephew adores.
My nephew is only 7 so he cannot see all the game, but the bits I show of Alexander he loves.
He especially loves Alexander mending himself in lava!!
Dang... when Gherman's theme comes in... the music from Bloodborne is so much better than all other FromSoft - all video game - music.
my best friend(s) are those 15 bad guys in the elphael castle that were walking piles of runes…..
This legit made me cry
I really loved Alexander. He's a ray of sunshine in the gloom.
i always think of Alexander as that super cool grandpa/uncle who was a vet back in the day and now is just a tough, caring, funny and chill person
I have never unequipped his talisman since I finished his quest, he has been with me on 2 NG+ runs and now the DLC.
I avoid defeating Alexander I feel bad fighting him I defeated him once never again he’s definitely my favourite NPC in the game 😔😔😔
Alexander's quest is to fulfill the dreams of the fallen warriors within him who wanted to be great. He's very selfless, none of it is really for him or his benefit; thats why his confidence is so shaken, he knows he can't do it but he's trying for them. I think that's why he ultimately decides to take us on in battle, he can't satisfy their goals, he'll surely die trying, so what better way to go out then by the hand of a friend who fought at your side. Alexander, the little jar, and Boc are too pure for that cruel world!😭
Oh man, the Boc quest is heartbreaking. At least you can make it to where he doesn't die though. I've never let him turn human. I just tell him how beautiful he is and leave knowing he won't die and isn't so unhappy anymore
