Imagine being a legendary creature, such a majestic beast as a dragon, and then waiting inside a wall just to prank some undead on a bridge and just fly away He really is a prankster
looked up a video of the drago, yeah i can see it! black dragon, middle red eye, multiple horns around head. but damn does that fight look as video game-y as it gets. fighting a dragon in what looks like a wirefame cyber space while lasers are shooting at you. i...kind of want to see a modern version Kings' Field with all of its interesting artistic choices intact.
I'm just saying, we go through a dark hole through time, deal with a madman in a top hat, chase a cat with a weird grin, all to save a young, mischievous girl. A dragon with "eyes of flame" and a nonsense name that sounds vaguely like "calamity" is hardly the most obvious inspiration from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in this DLC.
@@Jesse__H they’re saying FromSoftware took liberal inspiration from Alice in Wonderland and Lewis Carroll’s other works for these specific things. Kalameet is most likely the Jabberwock, here.
I love how Zelda music works *perfectly* for these Dark Souls related videos. Your choices for music are always amazing, Zullie. Also, I like how unlike Midir, who starts off just arrogantly defying gravity, Kalameet just ignores solid matter and when he needs to stop, freezes time.
Kalameet's design is probably one of my favorite in the whole Soul series. He's not alien-looking like Seath, or so huge that the only way we can fight him is by giving him an aggressive pedicure. But he's still big enough to be an imposing threat and is meaner than a cornered bear. And that head crest...*does the finger kiss* Excellent
the real prize is the sword from his tail, which is WAY harder to cut off than i ever knew compared to literally any other dragon in the game. he does not give you a good opportunity to hit his tail.
Kalameet, bringer of Calamity and destroyer of eardrums. One of the coolest dragons ever, really. My only wish is that he used more supernatural powers, like his attack where he suspends you in the air and inflicts you with calamity. It'd be cool if he picked up boulders with his mind and threw them at you. Either way, he's badass.
One thing that always gets me with some of your videos is the feel. They feel welcoming more than anything. It’s not, “Hey, scrub, I’m gonna teach you about this kickass game!” It’s more, “Welcome back. Would you like to learn more today?”
In a weird twist, I knew he had other eyes the moment he did that telekinesis move. He does a little squint with them as he flares out and displays his red eye. I wonder if Kalameet got those because of the Abyss, since his beta model is a cyclops dragon.
Kalameet will always remain my favourite dragon in the entire Dark Souls series. I love ALL the dragons in the franchise, from big names like Sinh and Midir to the Drake/Wyvern dragons, but Kalameet is just special to me. _His design is so cool!_ Also, you fight him in one of my favourite Dark Souls kingdoms period: Oolacile, land of mystics and magic unknown and unorthodox even to the most seasoned Sorcerers. The land itself is like a fairy-tale come true and this dragon is making this place his home! How can I not love him?!
@@MrDibara and his hitboxes. And his music as well, I don’t know what hey we’re doing but the music for hat boss is so basic especially compared to boss themes in the very same game
Honestly, I think Kalameet is the coolest looking dragon in the game. Definitely gives me the red eyes black dragon vibe for sure. This video definitely reinforced that thought. Though Midir aint bad either design wise.
I find it interesting how a lot of dragons have some form of evil eyes, between Kalameet, Fatalis, and even the enemy Evil Eyes in Dragon's Dogma being formed from an fossilized dragon eye, and more I probably don't know or can think of, there's a lot of cases with the two being connected.
In case you need some more examples - in HOMM6 shadow dragons have eyes on their wings. Sometimes those eyes detach themselves and grow tentacles - that how shadow lurkers (evil eye-like creatures) are born.
Easily my favorite dragon from the entire series. Simple but fantastic design, the rough black look and piercing red eye. His sword tail is fun to use and the brown/black colors of his flame are something to behold. Very little story to him, but his little interactions especially with Gough help make the DLC memorable.
I just commented on another thtead that the hydra could have formed from Kalameet's remains. Although I thought more along abyssal corruption or Seath experiments. Death seems more likely as the two places with Hydra are two places we find creatures associated with Seath, crystal golems and clams.
i feel like someone could splice all of these videos into a full playthrough and it would be like some super cool commentary video i would leave it on for hours
Oh, Kalameet. I will keep the memories of meticulously attempting to cut your tail, and have my ears destroyed in the process. Kalameet's tail is the hardest to cut because of how much it's moving, isn't it? I always get the Hellkite's tail with a bow and Gaping's tail isn't that agile. The only other difficult one I can think of is Seath, due to his massive size, going around to cut his tail is rather difficult, but that was compensated by the stun that happens when you destroy the crystal.
just sing the tail cut song :) He does the swoop! so you roll to the left, then you roll to right and then he does the slam, and then you walk away then you hit the tail, and you get the tail! ruclips.net/video/ycP7BtihIYA/видео.html
I played the DLC for the first time over NG7 (it was like my 11th or 12th playthrough with the same character), I did manage to kill Kalameet and finish the DLC at the highest difficulty, but I never managed to get the sword. I could only make it with a new character on NG. Even Seath's tail sword was easier to get, since I managed to do that in NG+. I'm sure other people do it all the time, but I had to give up. To me, that's impossibly tedious.
I only ever beat Kalameet once per character for his tail and ring. If I go on to ng+ I avoid killing him because I really don’t like contributing to the dragon genocide.
Why didn't I watch this video one year ago? Man, I really have to take care of Dark Souls. I haven't played it anymore since 2021 (I only fought some bossfights)
The fight with Kalameet is easily my favorite dragon fight in all of video games. It's just profoundly satisfying and Kalameet is beautifully animated.
I've always loved Kalameet the most of all the dragons in the series, and I always enjoyed how cinematic things got when he'd fly by. I feel like the other souls games never really had moments like that.
Midir having two different sized models is still the most interesting and awkward dragon related facts in dark souls. Btw you could’ve shown the beta kalameet were he’s green and stuff
I only recently learned about Goughless Kalameet, interesting they made him vulnurable even though the intended route is lose->complain to daddy->fair fight
Honestly the whole "the last dragon and the last dragonfighter lost in time" is one of the, if not the most, beautiful and mysterious story arcs in whole souls series.
I read in a blog somewhere where they were interviewing the FromSoft crew, that Kalameet's eyes were originally green before they decided to change it. Seeing this detail up close solidifies why. Red eyes Kalameet is far more menacing in appearance as the nightmare of the Great Lords. Thanks for another awesome video Zullie!
Not sure if you've made a video on this, but if you use a firebomb to hit the giant at the very start of the cathedral of the deep (just through the double doors and before the elevator shortcut), the giant can attack you. I only noticed that recently after many years of DS3.
Hey zullie did you know that all of the respawning zombies in front of the cathedral of the deep can be killed if you go through and kill all of the sitting or praying zombies? I would like to know the details please.
I remember when I was first playing aota. I saw the bridge, and immediately started saying "please no dragons, please no dragons, please no dragons". Then he swoops in, and I immediately try jurassic Park rules and stay as still as possible, both in game and real life.
Something about Kalameet I never knew until my friend played it for the first time last month, was him having an attack specifically for people who fled back up the ladder.
Hey Zullie! Saw your videos at the first time a while ago, and just saw an article/interview about you on the internet. So happy for you, keep up the great work! Cheers! 🥳🥳
This has to be the best accidentally discovered channel. I have never played the games, but really want to now (even if it is classed now as metagaming). Thank you and please keep posting 🤩
Why yes, I did know Kalameet had two genuine eyes! I always took that big central eye to be some kind of mystical addition he got later in life, since it literally enables telekinesis, but since our best lore calls him a cyclops (not literally), we can only really speculate.
If you kill Kalameet without Gough's help and then talk to him after, he has a unique dialogue. From anticipated people finding a way to cheese the fight.

Some how the most surprising fact to me was that this area becomes the hydra lake.
