Getting to create this video with Vaati has been an absolute dream of mine, and I couldn’t be happier with our final vision. Hopefully everyone enjoyed my cinematic editing and recording style. Within the lands between, there are so many stories for us to tell, and this is just the beginning!
Big shoutout to Zullie the Witch for help with the Cheat engine, and Frans Bouma for his camera mod, which makes these videos possible
The chaddest of them all,
Now all we need is all of them in a single video
Zullie san,vaati,illusory wall and everyone else
Yo is the camera mod available to anyone ?
The camera work is the only reason I'm upset, because I can't just let this one run while I cook. I gotta be able to actually watch, you rogues
I absolutely loved the cinematics in this episode! Great job! Looking forward to seeing more :)
You need to be hired by fromsoft asap ! That was awesome mate
My personal theory is that the Potentate was once responsible for making new jars, that's why they need the smooth hands of a potter.
oh! I love this theory, it makes so much sense
It was the first think I thought when I saw the word.
Idc if it's never said anywhere else but here in this comment section, as far as I'm concerned this is canon.
@@rune269 at least we know they fix the existing jars
you're absolutely correct. Potters have smooth hands from working clay.
This one actually made me cry when the little jar said the hoslow motto and saying he wants to be like him. God this game was beautiful.
That’s Jar Bairn, coz
Yeah it’s beautiful when you actually know where to go. having to look it up just spoils the story. This world is way too large with too many things going on to just be left to find these things on your own. The only real issue with the game honestly
Is*
@@CaliDraco you can Wikipedia everything and it tells you where to go without spoiling the story
@@CaliDraco no the fun of it is that there is so much you get to discover and might never know about without multiple play throughs. the vastness of the world is a journey in and of itself
12:43 so let me get this straight when Alexander's nephew asked to join him on his journey he responded "Ah Mountain of fire bake me in your flames!"
Very typical of uncle alexander.
It even more hilarious when you realise that it is something Alexander will actually say.
Just Uncle Alexander being Alexander
doesn't your uncle also say this? I thought it was rather common
@@GodspamitLol I'm worried about you buddy.
Jar Bairn: Do you know what a poacher is, coz? They hunt us, smash us and then take us away.
Me: *Flashbacks of all the living jars I killed from Stormveil to Caria Manor*
Also me: No.
Can't be me.
lmao!!
Guilt trip inside
Norman Osborne: I am something of a poacher myself
Or the one in farum azula 😭
Ive said this once and I’ll say it again the whole “The tale of house Hoslow, is told in blood” seems more like a cautionary tale than a boast.
Ive never really thought of it like that but it makes sense now seeing as the hoslow brothers both die on their journey in the land between
That's how I first perceived it, there was definitely an ominous tone to him saying this.
I think the quest gives 3 perspectives on it. An ominous and intimidating tone when Diallos says it, a cautionary tale when we learn of Juno's story, and one of a hero willing to protect when Jar Bairn says it
A cautionary tale, maybe but honestly I love it as a battle cry. Basically telling your enemy “A Hoslow is never afraid to bleed, are you?”
He uses bleed weapons and his armor is themed like that I don't think it goes that deep
Diallos and Alexander both show that true bravery isn't the absence of fear, but not letting it tether them to inaction. Alexander discovering his fear of mortality versus Radahn and overcoming it was inspiring. And Diallos becoming a warrior when he finally had something to protect (instead of avenge) made me shed a tear.
He could not bloody his hands in the name of vengeance.
Nor could he spill the blood of others for the sake of his own glory.
However, in defense of innocent lives… he fought. He bled. He killed. His tale reached its end, written in the blood of poacher and guardian both. The story of Diallos Hoslow, Hero of Jarburg.
@@chrisschoenthaler5184| What I especially like about this is that Diallos's older brother chose to fight for glory and honour specifically to ensure his little bro would be free from such a burden. He could tell Diallos didn't have the capacity for such things.
One moment with Jar Bairn that hit me was if you rest at a site of grace after Diallos' death, you can find the little coz collecting Diallos' remains. If you try to talk to him, he simply repeats, "The tale of House Hoslow is told in blood" in a very numb, empty tone. It's pretty haunting and dark.
It was a dark image, but also kinda heartwarming to see Diallos was deemed worthy by the jar to take his insides, which is like the highest honor. He was really looked up to in the end, and something in him was strong enough to be carried on.
Nothing really dark if we don't consider in how we as humans value the bodies of people close to us. If we look at it from outside perspective, it's really heartwarming. Dialllos had a strong heart and that's enough for a jar to see someone as a strong warrior
@@argonianguy6226
Yup. To the little guy Diallos was a hero through and through. Well worth taking in to carry on his legacy.
The fact that Diallos drops a more expensive rune than his brother shows his true worth...
Diallos is 🐕 💧
@@doclime4792 I know. Truly sad that Diallos is dog teardrop.

The voice actor of Alexander's nephew almost actually made me cry
So true. The part when he says he will be a warrior after you tell him about Alexander's death nearly burst me into tears
@@prodbykingnes I got the throat aches for sure.
and the “i won’t cry cause i’m a warrior”
Does anyone know who the voice actor is?
@screen I may have teared me up a bit.
That shyt fkn rekt me.
The bravest worrior jar who not only stared down his fate but chased after it across the broken lands to meet his end, the coward who found his courage to do the one and only thing he every wanted in his final moments, and the small, lightly spoken worrior pot who dreamed to become a great and now humble worrior.
Fun fact : the recusant Henricus seems to be a spy from Gideon that is trying to infiltrate the Volcano Manor. You can see that he wears the symbol of the All-Knowing on his chest and you can loot it in Rykard’s arena.
That would make him a pretty terrible spy, then
@@snekinnatenk6956 I don't know if the symbol is widely known. If it is, he might be presenting himself as a deserter from Gideon's retinue. Best way to hide is in plain sight after all.
@@snekinnatenk6956 The fact that his Gear was at Rykard tells us otherwise
he did way too well for his own good actually
Where do you get it in Rykard’s arena??? I missed that
@@cam5816 so Northeast of where Rykard spawns that’s where he is
That scene of thr Radan festival was incredible. Almost expected to see a slowmo of Patches peacing-out.
I think I would’ve peed myself if that had happened VAATI PLS DO THIS!!!
couldn't peace out in my first play through because I never accepted his surrender to me in the first place :)
@@just1it1mokosaaaaame never forgive that fucker
Can't believe how such a touching story can be written about jar golems who fill themselves with corpse flesh
thought its purpose had been lost. Thats what bro said. idk.
“Lend me strength, O warriors within! Let us become one champion together!”
I’m definitely not crying.
Bro I read it as the line was coming up in the video , definitely not crying at all
Me neither, guys! Me neither!!
Join the warrior jar as family, together we will fill up with the very gods!
Other people: It's just a jar
Gamers: No, It's not just a jar it was a friend.
The best friends in Elden are the jars! No matter what anyone says
Gamer:i hate the minories
Sorry its just a joke XD
Alexander wasn't a friend. He was a brother.
@@ThePeptoBismol a bruh
I loved Alexander 😢, he was my fav friend
The story of Diallos hits me hard as someone who at one point in my life was trying to emulate someone I looked up to, but I am not made to be that person. I am myself and I can be great in my own way, beautiful story
This video actually misses quite a bit of key dialogue with the player while he's still at the mansion. It really paints in him a not so good way...
@@Calx9 no it doesn't. I don't know what you're referring to but all it does is paint him in a way that is more real than any of the other characters From Soft have ever made. It shows true character growth and him turning away from a path that everyone else wanted for him but which he knew wasn't right.
@calvingreenway6796 Diallos is convinced by Volcano Manor because he believes emotions will hold him back from becoming a champion. After working as a Recusnat and potentially hearing The Tarnished is tasked with kill his own brother he realises that bloodshed isn't the measure of a champion either. After going to Jarsburg and fighting the poacher off he finally realises fighting for a cause he truly believes in is what makes a real champion. It's not the spilling of others blood that makes a champion, it's willing to risk your own.

"The tale of house Hoslow is told in blood.. *IN BLOOOD!!* "
Just.. WOW..
That was absolutely amazing. Rewatched it so many times
Here is where I gave up and shed a couple tears
@@jpablomsan same...
@@endriolima5685 Goosebumps and tears all over 🥺
The music helped puts so much emphasis on all that work that voice actor put in that line. Fucking beautiful. The absolute vicious and visceral that came with that delivery...
Everyone here has already said it, but I just cannot stress enough how GORGEOUS the scenes are, and paired together with your most amazing story telling, VaatiVidya videos are almost illegally free for how much effort is put in it. Claps for you and the team who worked on this!

@@yemmohater2796 does he? I've never payed for a patreon but ID totally get vaati's
The jars are adorable, in my opinion.
And Dialos was a hero, in the end.
“‘The tale of House Hoslow is told in blood’, that’s the kind of warrior I want to be one day, coz.”
Damn, that’s the line that finally got my eyes to start moistening
It’s a tearjerker every time for sure.
Paired with Diallos’ death it stings.
"He died doing what he wanted, right? I bet he was happy."
Alexander died a warrior's death, and Diallos proves his worth.
Diallos was a fool who brought nothing but death to everyone around him, his companion and friend killed by the people he would later serve, those same people would then kill his older brother, incapable of avenging them he leaves to jar burg where he fails to defend the denizens from the poachers he may have very well lead there.
“The tale of house hoslow is told in blood.”
@@thebigenchilada678 This. He’s not much different than Reek really. Just less torturey.
@@thebigenchilada678 perhaps. and thats your interpretation of it, this is mine.
These details are left vague on purpose so we come to our own conclusions.
@@LeeBiLong pessimist vs optimist
@@thebigenchilada678 nah fam. Just because he wasn't some great, fearless warrior, he was a fool? He tried his best, ain't his fault that life kept throwing him to the rock bottom.
Bro I'm crying over jars. Who could have known that the greatest jars were the friends we made along the way 😭
Souljars
The greatest friends were the jars we met along the way!
Actually the greatest jars were the insides we made along the way...it's all about the insides.
I became the poacher, and made jar bombs
I feel sad more then malina death I didn’t even notice she died but hem
"bravery is not an absence of fear, but action in spite of it" I've forgotten who these words come from, but they hit deep here.
First Time i Heard this phrase it was about what it meant to be a hero (the context was the studying of homer's odyssey)
I keep the small piece of Alexander you get from his duel on me at all times. He may have been a mere jar, but he was a true friend, so I uphold a small promise I made to him to take his remains to every battle.
When Jar Bairn made the statement about needing smooth hands to be Potentate, I definitely had the thought of how it contrasts to the calloused hands of a seasoned warrior, but the main thought I had was of a potter - the artistry that goes into shaping clay into beautiful and strong pottery. Surely a village of jar people would value a skilled artisan with a gentle touch, to help them grow, to repair their cracks.
That's really interesting 🧐
Brilliant comment.
This comment is already underrated. Also never thought someone could be a potter. So many jokes.
Bro you might need to start your own channel
exactly my assumption, someone with rough hands wouldnt be as good with wet clay
The cinematics are absolutely beautiful, but that story telling just hit me like a fucking truck. Absolutely outstanding Vaati.
When vaati does story telling better than the actual game. Lol.
Always been the problem with fromsoft games. Apart from Sekiro
Really, I got emotional, I thought DS lore was fantastic, but elden ring's...just wow. then as you said, his story telling abilities are superb! Great work
Very creative for sure. So this is why we can't find the Poacher huh? Diallos kicked him off a cliff.
Much better as the gruesome detail I imagined, that he just left after killing everybody but the small Jarchild.
Like something put of 300
@@ftrunks2k it’s funny to say it’s a problem with the Fromsoft games when it’s that exact style of storytelling that has inspired this entire subsection of RUclips videos
At 12:31 the way Jar Bairn is laying down talking about Alexander is very wholesome sight🥺
I’ve always felt that Alexander’s want and desire to “consume” you and have you join him as one is due to his “collecting” of bodies at redhan’s battlefield and those bodies being contaminated by scarlet rot, sending him a tad over the edge bit by bit
I like that idea
I don't really agree, to the Jars it seems to be the greatest honor to be filled by the greatest warriors, to me, Alexander telling us he wants our body as his filling is essentially the biggest compliment the Jar can give.
I see Alexander as do I see solaire. There both rather nice and hold the player to a high regard both are after power and strength but both go mad when they cannot accomplish it.
@@mrbob5979 a very good parallel there
@@axllow3914 I can definitely understand where you are coming from, however the only time Alexander actually witnesses our combat prowess is when we fight at the Redhan Festival. So my question to you would be.
what’s to stop him from requesting a duel and wanting to “fill himself” with us at each encounter after? ( btw not just trying to argue the toss I genuinely enjoy theory crafting and debating )
"The tale of house Hoslow is told in blood."

Therefore
Tears ahead.

@@gageteichmeier1871 just beneath the bridge leading to the divine tower in limgrave, it's a bit off road

Our tarnished is one hell of a badass and I love that the npcs acknowledge our feats.
21:28 That is such a badass shot of Scarlet Aoenia being used. Together with Alexander The Warrior Jar charging at his enemy, this is beautiful.
The tale of Oslow was indeed painted in blood and remembered in tears of the friends and gratitude of those under Dialos protection.
"So it is that the coward is capable of the highest heroism."
Nice Demon's Soul Ostrava throwback.
Hawkwood as well.
Man, when I fought Alexander and killed him in two shots before he even got his battlecry out... him saying "As I suspected... Victory was impossible...this vessel was found lacking" actually physically hurt me.
I feel I wasn't as big on a lot of Elden Ring characters, but Iron Fist Alexander is right up there with Solaire. Bless his big ol' Jar belly.

@@barneystinson4289 i find him more of an onion bro
Alexander is in heaven with Solaire and the Onion Friends
Alexander is friend-shaped. As strage as it sounds, I would happily take a version of Elden Ring where he travels with you, just barreling along the landscape on his side. You can level him up by feeding him the corpses you kill, and you take the runes. Then, finally, he asks you fir one last favor at the end of the game:
A test of strength. A bout for the ages! Boisterous laughter abound as he takes to the air to body-slam you!
If you are defeated, that's an ending-- where he delivers you, alongside Torrent and Melina to a Catacombs dungeon and lays you, and others, in their roots, then settles himself, now empty, at your side, content with having defeated such a mighty Tarnished warrior.
If you defeat him, he asks that you take the sharpest shard of him you can find, and one of his arms, and fashion yourself a trophy to take along with you, so he may fight at your side forever. The weapon you receive is the Warrior Jar's Lament, a scythe imbued with a decent bleed spell.
EDIT: I kinda wanna expound on the idea of the Alexander Ending, and give him a power all his own: Grace of Kintsugi.
In both endings, due to his unwavering loyalty to you, and his deep belief in your strength, he draws from your grace and makes it his own. The power of Gleaming Gold settles into his nicks and cracks, in every chip and scratch and crack, reinforcing it with golden light and making him, truly, an unbreakable jar.
In the ending where he defeats you, he spends the rest of his days guarding your body, and himself, from looters and poachers, waiting for the day that your soul returns to the Erdtree. This could even go into NG+ and separate character territory, where he spawns in that specific Catacombs Dungeon to battle whoever wanders in, using the weapons and magic of the Tarnished.
In the event that you beat him, and take a shard with you, the scythe could have it's own small, temporary summon attack as a weapon art that sends Alexander barreling forward at a target on his side.
This video is absolutely beautiful. The lore intricacy and passion displayed here is a perfect representation of why Elden ring won game of the year. I have never seen such passion and grace manifested for a video game ever before. Please never stop making these videos and storytelling in this way. This is something that should not be lost
23:52 The tone in which he says warrior ... brings tears to my eyes
“The tale of house Hoslow is told in blood…IN BLOOD!!!”
goosebumps, everytime
Is that line cut content? I did this quest but don't remember it.
@@lemon__snicker5973 It sounds to me like he probably says that line if you kill enough of the jars. Because he accused YOU of being a poacher.
The way he screams that seems perfect for this moment in his story, where he's been a coward and a fool his whole life but now he finally has a chance to fight for something worthwhile and he's going to grab for it with both hands.
Why?
*_" No... you should have waited! "_* - Alexander probably, definitely not Siegward.
*Siegward?
@@NickHunter OLOL you're right.
Edited. ^^
Alexander=Siegward
I did some parts of this quest here and there and didn’t understand the story..I didn’t expect this video to almost bring me to tears man. This is why I love from soft games, their story telling is amazing
it weirdly makes me want to cry seeing creators who share the same passion and love for something working together to make something as beautiful as this. i love it.

I love Alexander as a character so much that I know when I fight him and kill him it's like fighting an old weathered Viking that just wants to be sent to Valhalla. Just wants a warriors death from the strongest warrior around.
Best comment on RUclips
Except that he is on his peak..yet he still stand no chance against us...and he know this
@@kiro253 he wants to die fighting. He refuses to die alone, and not doing what he lived for; fighting, at the highest peak, where he could see the Lands Between for one last time.
I cried so hard at the end of his quest. At the end of his dialogue, I was expecting him to (mercifully) disappear in a sparkling cloud of dust like everyone else. When he instead exploded in a shower of gore, it shocked me so hard I had to take a break for a bit.
As we are. Strength. Pain. Fighting. Old warrior. Meet your match. Your place is carved in my heart. What a wonderful fight ...
diallos screaming "IN BLOOD!" with the sad music gave me so many chills man
how many chills?
The Voice acting has always been a MAJOR strong suit in these games, and man that shout gave me goose bumps.
@@antygoniusz at least 7
The sadness of Alexander hit me like a train. Also it's funny cause when fighting radahn Alexander is the last summon standing yet he is a pot

I enjoy the smaller details you include. When my boy Alex was asking for help and your tarnished started clapping I lost it. Keep up the good work, Sir.
I loved Elden Ring, but watching your "An Elden Ring Story"'s has made me love this game so much more. I haven't loved a game this much since 2011. Thank you for adding more value to it for me.
The moment I heard Diallos say “The tale of House Hoslow is told in blood, after all,” I knew Vaati would say it in his prepare to cry video on him.
Shit aint perfect but Vaati and his peeps worked hard to entertain us.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👊👍🏽🙌💪🏽🖖👑😃
Little detail: The model of Alexander actually changes throughout the whole game, as you can see him having more cracks after each time you met. When you met him in Farum Azula, he's already on the brink of shattering.
Yeah. The nature of Diallos' and Alexander's stories meld quite well with each other. Alexander was brave in spite of danger, throwing his own form and safety into the wind. Diallos was timid and didn't seem one to fight, but talked the big game to try and be like his brother.
In the end though, they both rised to the challenge. One to be stronger than he was before, and one to be like his brother. A beautiful dicotomy.
Never in my life did I think I’d be crying about jars… but here we are 😭
The fact that thos videp has like, dolly tracking shots its crazy
The saddest thing about Diallos' questline is that either ending fits him perfectly.
If you tell him he failed, he admits just how much of a fool he had been rather than lie and make up an excuse. Though it may be sad, he finally comes to terms with himself.
If you tell him he won, he finds peace in himself, unknowingly meeting and surpassing the expectations of those who cared about him. In turn, his will lives on through Jar Bairn.
While the second ending is preferable and true, both endings actually fit Diallos' character in a certain aspect.
I always say he did a good job. I can't for the love of god tell him otherwise
@@happyman1234 I do as well since it's best, to be honest with him. But it's even sadder because both things you tell him are technically true.
He failed to protect the jars as most of them are shattered, but at the same time, he was able to protect Jar Bairn. While he didn't protect everybody, he was able to save one.
It literally broke my heart when I one shot Alexander and he said it was a marvelous battle
YOU BASTARD HOW DARE YOU
Damn you coulda atleast been like Saitama with Boros in One Punch Man, and hold back to let him pretend he's having the battle of his lifetime and it was hard fought one. Atleast jarbro believed it was truly a good battle, where Boros realized right before he died he never stood a chance 😭
@@joshrakestraw3319 but he still won all of our hearts fr i nearly started crying when i killed him
It figuratively broke your heart. The word "literally" isn't just a meaningless word used to enhance the punch of your sentence.
@@HatoBumpkin no no, I'm pretty sure he has arrhythmia or something now. Too much stress, yes.
Can't wait for the new video on how Let Me Solo Her is actually ten shaman cats inside a jar.
Ya know I don't think any story from soulsborn lore has made me actually cry but I actually let a few lose for the child jar trying to be strong like Alexander
The cinematography of this is amazing
Yea! It's like a movie
Kinda prefer the usual narrating he does
Yep, they even did a LMSH cosplay lol.
Both Alexander and Dialos live on within the Jarbairn, and their knowledge will shape him as a warrior. It is sad but beautiful.
I don't wanna ruin things, but I think Dialos will make Jarbairn weaker ^^" What's fun to think about, though, is that Alexander lives on in Jarbairn, just like how part of us will live on in our offspring, allowing for human flourishing ever more
@@captainzork6109 Dialos found his courage when faced with what was most important to him, and gave his life protecting those he loved. that’s gotta impart something positive, even if his combat abilities were mid. alexander’s warior spirit can balance it out lol
24:15 A fool with a good heart
that ending with the "kid pot" ive also experienced that mission...
oh well...its raining today ;__;
That Erdtree to Volcano Manor transition at 13:44 is probably one of the smoothest in the whole video. Great cinematography.
For a second I thought we were getting a sad backstory to the legend “LetMeSoloHer”
However, this was unexpected and super cinematic. Love the story telling as always
Thank you. You save me 20 minutes
But still imagine if it was
yeah, sad the game can't tell it itself..
@@hamit5930 That can describe basically every Soulsborne plot lol
Oh good. I was about to click off the video.
Now I can watch it without worry
I’m madly in love with this new evolution of VaatiVidya storytelling. Usually I come for the exposition lore dump on FromSoft games but I didn’t expect to actually feel emotion and awe for the quality music and storytelling. If you see this message Vaati, take as much time you need, we’re all proud of your team’s efforts
I love that diallos' story just ended then it cuts straight to: "meanwhile on giant slaying mountain"
Alexander breaking the Fire Giant's leg support going into the phase two cinematic was absolutely breathtaking, oh my god.

I haven’t gotten there yet but u can’t wait
of all the people i fought in elden ring, beating juno made me feel the worst :( i read the armor descriptions and just felt so sad. diallos' questline definitely hit the hardest
Right?
I'm sad I missed such a huge questline in the game. I had assumed the quests were separate regarding Alexander and Diallos
Yep, him and great horned tragoth....
Boc the seamstress would like to have a word with you about saddest stories 😢
@@ChaosRagorA if u tell him hes beautiful he lives
13:45 I must appreciate how cinematic these VaatiVidya Lore videos have become. They've grown so much during Elden Ring's time alone. It's not the only part in the video but it really stands out, even better it's all custom and no cutscenes have been used. Hopefully the team behind the videos will work togeter far into the future too!

Alexander is a badass. Felt really bad about having to fight him. But he wanted to test his limits and wouldn't back down even at the end. Also he gives us his shard which allows us to carry on his legacy as well as Jar Bairn when you think about it.
Gotta love the "Activate Windows" that keeps popping up in the bottom-right.
Knight Diallos, House Hoslow: DO THEY THINK ME A FOOL?
Tanith of The Volcano Manor: Sir, could I interest you in some of our literature?
Do you know what the saddest part about Diallos's story is for me? It's his fault. Vaati painted this narrative as though a poacher followed you, the player to Jarburg. But you can come and go to and from Jarburg with impunity. Jarburg is safe and healthily populated even after you beat the Elden Beast if you just never talk to Diallos.
The poacher followed HIM. He died in the defense of innocents whom he himself endangered. And, what's worse, whom he failed to protect. Far more jars are broken by his defense of them than would have been if he had simply never darkened their doorstep.
Diallos Hoslow. A younger brother who breaks the older's heart by emulating him. A master who served the House of those who murdered his servant. A defender who brought death onto his charges. His tale is told in blood - just not the blood of his enemies.
Hot damn that is a great observation and beautifully formulated.
Aaaaaand there's another hit to my already broken soul. Very good point, love it
Wow, thanks for making me feel even worse about this tragic tale. There's even more irony in the damn tragedy than I thought ;_;
Damn. Well observed
That's...so heartbreaking. I just wanna hug Diallos and all the jars...
5:40 that shot where they're walking slow, and the music was amazing. Had to replay that a couple times
Elden ring is an astonishing gem but you brillantly showed its most poetic elements, thank you very much for your art
I didn't even noticed, that first recusent, he is wearing Gideons gowns. He was probably a spy sent by Gideon, both as an eye into the recusents happenings, and possibly an early attempt to remove you as a potential elden lord.
biiiig
Relatedly inside of Rykards boss room there's an "Eye Surcoat" chest piece which signifies that a lackey of gideon had been in the room and had possibly been eaten
@@evitanigaminU yeah, I think he was eaten shortly after fighting us
The "for it is the coward who Is capable of the highest heroism" was so good, reminded me of the hawkwood prepare to cry, which is my fav one so far
I think it came from the Ostrava video
"By nature of definition only the coward is capable of the highest heroism" -David Gemmell
so addicted to all the lore videos, insane production. kudos to you and anyone else involved!
The editing on this video is insane! Great job!
“But he said-“
“BAKE ME IN YOUR FLAMES!”
What a fantastic moment
The warrior-jars' idea of gaining power by amassing warriors seems curiously similar to what Rykard is compelled to do by his serpent god.
Difference is Rykard eats them alive.. the jars collects, or are given, them after they are dead..
@@fickminne
The warrior-jars functions just like how a Tarnished gets stronger though.
The main difference is that the warrior-jars amass the remains of dead warriors; Rykard kills people and eats them. Warrior-jars also seek challenges to grow stronger and more skilled. Rykard sits in his lair and eats unsuspecting people for ages until he becomes strong enough to kill everyone else one day.
TOGETHA!
Together in death
13:45 that transition was so smooth and beautiful.. You guys are legit and good story teller/film maker.
I'm replaying the Fire Giant fighting scene over and over and I'm all like

Vaati I bet you read this often, but dear me do you have style dripping off of every shot there. This is what Crime Dramatisations on the TV always dreamed to be but couldn't.
Chef's kiss.
There wasnt a better way to tell that story. All of you did the minds at Fromsoft justice with this one and its stunningly beautiful
I think this may be one of your best videos. honestly.
Didn't expect to find you here
Yo terraria man
yooo what are you doing here. love your videos
Its the funny Knight man
Hey man, did your cat come back? Remember reading long ago that your cat got lost or something
Mercy. SO well done. This is what I love about these games.
When people say there's no story, they are missing all of THIS. Some of the best stories in gaming. They're just not shoved in your face.
Need to play this again.
Alexander is the best bro in the entire game, bar none. His final fight always puts my hairs on end, where he laughs at the end because he got to live exactly as he wished right to the end. Brilliant character.
Alexander and Diallos live on in Let Me Solo Her XD
Literally. Which is why I loved the hints. Let Me Solo Her story is about struggling against something and then setting it personal to help others. Just like Diallos did
@@Kurumi_Kazuha oye creo que el reeditor gordo de let me solo her es hombre, no digas mamadas...
@@Kurumi_Kazuha secret lore : Jair Barn is Let Me Solo Her's real identity... after all, time here is convoluted...
@@robertspeedwagon982 Oh god he grows into this Chad of a man.
Diallos' story is definetly one of my favourites and the one that legitimetly made me cry in my playthrough. When i heard how the little pot had a newfound respect for how Diallos fought even if scared... i just couldn't take it.
Man up bro
@@daboy8107 no, he has the right express himself emotionally and if you have a problem with that, then leave.
@@daboy8107 The most common toxic mindset ”man up” can f off
You big baby.
@@antonyrivera8318 Toxic personality
The revelations of how the jars come to be, of what a potentate does, really casts a lot of this in a different light. Could Diallos have become a potentate? We know he’s decent with a whip, at least.
I would really appreciate the music list as in other Elden Ring stories. The music is just so beautiful and good to study. Mainly from 9:45
Everyone involved in making this did a phenomenal job. The slow motion dismount during the Radahn fight was preposterously awesome.
Hands down the best Elden Ring video i've ever seen and probably will see, every second is just perfect
I prepare to cry every time I load into for honor
Greatest questline
@@MontanaDoesntExist fuck that gaem
@@PassTheButter I was thinking the same thing… literally just stitching scenes together. He barely even talks himself lol, yet everyone praising his story tailing and the visuals, when it’s all in game graphics 😂
Well wait until he does more of these before saying "Probably will see", cause they are probably only going to improve
Oh my God I watched this on my TV and it was amazing. I cant believe I’ve seen anything this marvellously created on youtube. This is a work of art that is indistinguishable from million dollar projects. I sincerely hope you realise your capacity for this line of work and are able to be successful through it.
Thank you
The The cinematography of this is amazing
I cried 🥺
It's you!
Can't do a no cry run anymore now huh?
Me too!
Just parry the tears
The legend themself
Out of ALL of your prepare to cry episodes, this is the only one that's actually worked a lump up in my throat. Great content man, as long as you keep producing content, I'll be here if I can. Props.
“I miss him though, I asked to go with him but he said…”
“AAAAAAAAHHHHH MOUNTAIN OF FIRE BAKE ME IN YOUR FLAMES”
God I love Vaati’s subtle humor moments in his videos
Can you imagine if reaching Jarburg in a pacifist run actually allows you to be Potentate? I know Fromsoft games don't really have in-depth story choices, but imagine being able to fight the Jar Poacher with Diallos because you were Potentate. After slaining your hands with the poacher, you hand over the title to Diallos who will continue to take care of the jars. Wishful thinking, but I just want a happy ending okay?!
I am glad they didn't do that, after all i don't want to steal any character's reason to live like dark souls 1
That's a lovely idea
@@yuse310 I did :(
Why would you have to a pacifist? I took the whole "smooth hands" thing to mean that Diallos was a noble who hadn't done any real work so he had "smooth hands".
@@TheSeeker225 You could look at it that way - but if so it wouldn't be hard to view fighting as real work.
