Dark Souls 2 Lore: Nashandra The Prisoner of Desire
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- This Dark Souls 2 Lore video primarily covers the Origin and happenings of Queen Nashandra of Drangleic and her interactions with King Vendrick and the Cursed Undead. Some of the lore chosen is speculation, some is not. The Legends of Drangleic Dark Souls Lore videos series also tend to attempt to enter the psyche of the character the video is focusing on; imagining the Lore of Drangleic from their perspective. So if some of the lore seems inaccurate it may be due to the fact that it IS false because the subject of the video (Nashandra in this case) is misinformed or does not know the whole truth.

ADDITIONAL LORE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THIS VIDEO:
These are many of the item descriptions that led me to say what I say in the video:
Bow of Want
A bow created from the soul of Nashandra. The old one of the Abyss was reborn in death, split into miniscule fragments, and spread across the land. The smallest of the pieces, sensing its own fragility, yearned for what it lacked.
King's Ultra Greatsword:
An ultra-greatsword forged from the soul of King Vendrick. Inflicts heavy damage on enemy armor.Only the King knows whether the depiction of the Queen is a resentful mockery,or an affectionate exaltation.
King's Ring
A powerful soul is like a curse. And Vendrick, King of Drangleic used a powerful soul to keep the curse at bay. King Vendrick sought greater souls, and made the giants' strength his own, but even still, the curse overcame him.
Ancient Dragon Soul
Soul of the great ancient dragon that stands magnificently, deep within the shrine. This powerful being stands and waits, for whoever may visit him.
Use the dragon soul, created by those who peered into the essence of the soul, to acquire numerous souls, or to create something of great worth.
The Ancient Dragon Soul says it was "Created by those who peered into the essence of the soul", from dialogue with Shanalotte, Chancellor Wellager and several others we know this is referring to Vendrick who created the dragon soul as it uses the exact same wording as they do when speaking of Vendrick "peering into the essence of the soul". We also know from the King's Ring that it states Vendrick used powerful souls and sought greater souls to keep the curse at bay. Creating Dragon's Souls was a means to do so.
Thanks.

So basically, Vendrick married a gold digger
I see darkness spreading..and she is only thing that stands in ya way..she makes all unballance..like any woman..lol
Mynamesnotslimshady soul digger
And an ugly one at that. I hope they didn't have kids.
@@cheefqueef6494 luckily, they didnt
Really? Four years and no one made this joke? Ugh fine.
"Now I ain't sayin' she a gold but she ain't looking for no broke-"
And I'm gonna stop there cause I don't fucking like Kanye.
This is what differentiates you from other Dark Souls Lore RUclipsr guys, you can tell the story. Everything seems so full of detail and thought, i can literally smell the sweat that went into this. You are the only one who can tell a story while talking about a story, great job!
LupusInCaligo Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. =)
I try to bring my own style to DS lore, it's always nice to see when people identify with that. Thanks for watching!
Literally smell the sweat. Literally?
Some superpower you got there mate.
@@ferozhossain3401 i wrote that comment when i was 15 lol cut me some slack
@@LupusInCaligo my bad
@@ferozhossain3401 no worries mate lol
About time... I know. PLEASE up vote this comment so others read it.
First I'd like you guys to check out ***** He helped me get some shots for the video that I'd otherwise not have gotten. He makes idiotic Dark Souls content, I mean that in the best kind of way. Check out Abyss Gravelord: ruclips.net/user/ShinenGaming
Also, I normally wouldn't site item descriptions used or handhold with my lore at all, but since this is so early in the lifespan of the game, please check the video description for additional information.
FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANT:
Leave requests for DS2 Lore. I know 4-5 characters/stories I currently have planned to cover for Legends of Drangleic, but I might like to do a few more. Leave your suggestion for the lore you'd REALLY love to see and if I get a lot of requests for a character I don't already have planned, I might do it.
Thanks for watching and reading guys!!!
Is there a way to get any info on characters we got armor from? Faraam and Havel for example?
I'd like to know more about those who Vendrick set to guard the way to the Throne: Looking-Glass Knight, Veldstat and Throne Watcher and Defender. Sort of their side of the story.
Great job on the editing and the lore content! :)
Good job man! And I have some speculation about the giants. (maybe it's nothing new). I think they are a relatively new race in the world of dark souls. And their soul looks if a humanity is inside it, + there is no humanity in DS2 at all, that would explain why. If they born from humanity (somehow) than that would explain why Nashandr saw them as a threath. Because she (reincarnation/ fragment of Manus) is basically the creator of humanity (the item) and she can not regain her full power witouth collecting all the fragments.
*****
Oh, i only played the first one like 3 hours because i got too confused with the game (Finished the second though and i loved it). But whats with Faraam? Seems like hes just been introduced to the game seeing as hes the "cover guy".
Can I just say...this is one INSANELY well done video my friend. Informed me of things I totally didn't connect, whilst being flawlessly edited. The part how you had Nashandra approach the fog gate and enter....sweet Jesus I got chills. Bravo man bravo, im speechless :)
=)
Thanks!
Agreed!! Except for the curser that pops in at 11:06 :-P
+Guts Dragonslayer Well its actually 11:05 when it first pops up if we are gonna be nitpicky lol.
well i can just say that too. it was beautifully done!
+Mason Holder YESSS, Nashandra entrance was completely badass
This story is awesome! too bad most people hated DS2 so much, especially the souls fans. DS2 needs some love. sad.
Michael Pernia
I know this is old but I love ds2.
Yet another DS2 lover here. It's different from first one, but it surely doesn't deserve the hate. At least it haven't been made of fanservice like half of DS3.
This may shock people but DS2 is my 2nd favorite Souls game :). Bloodborne, DS2, Demon's Souls, DS3, and 1. IDK don't get me wrong I very much enjoy the DS serious. Just whenever I play 3 and 1 all I can see is Berserk that it makes it feel unoriginal. However if you no nothing of Berserk then it does. Though I guess some can say Bloodborne is a rip off of Dracula and Lovecraft, but eh to eaches own I suppose.
Akuma Kami funny that I actually got back into dark souls after reading berserk lol but dark souls 2 actually got the best cosplay armor for berserker guts ;) shadow mask & armor of the forlorn along with the good ol Ultra Greatsword lol 💦💦
The game is soooooooo god damn hardddd
7:02 SANTIER'S SPEAR! The bearer of the curse is a skrub comfirmed!
See how he has arrows on his back sometimes as well? He's also got like 15 Avelyn bows equipped and ready to go.
Coming back to this after all these years it´s really amazing how poetic Dark Souls 2 was about things
Like her father before her,reduced to a memory.Returned to the Dark.
About time! I'd just about given up on you.
- Seriously, though, this is fantastic. It was absolutely worth the wait, and one of your best lore videos to date. Informative, incredibly atmospheric, and downright chilling. Well done!
...
MOAR
I love your channel. You're funny! XD
Yeah
***** nope!
***** Nintendo are practically dead. They're just releasing Mario games to no end.
This video is incredible well done, also, great voice over there!
Fucking.Love.This
Terramantis, this is your best work! The lore, the music, the effort you went Into...Amazing.
Hey TerraMantis. I just want to let you know, this is the highest quality Dark Souls content I've seen yet. The machinima work is amazing. Especially the characters cosplayed as Vendrick and Nashandra. Extreme respect to you, and *****.
Thanks!!! I'm just happy you know what Machinima means! =D
Most people just think it's a channel on RUclips. Anyway, Thank you very much. I truly care and love editing, I'm usually directing how I want things to playout while I'm writing the script. Thanks again. =)
My god… this video is not just another video , it is art !! I love the editing and script. the amount research and hard work you put in to making this can be seen. Finally could you do a legend video on Vendrick please , please ,please pleeeaaaasee . You discussed about him in short but he deserves a entire video !!! Show Ven some love :3
Thank you so VERY very much!
I am going to give Vendrick his own video, but, like Gwyn for my Legends of Lordran series, he will unfortunately be the last video I do. I feel like the DLCs could possibly expand on his lore and I don't want to do anything premature.
TerraMantis yess, waiting for the dlc s was a good idea, but after the ivory crown are you going to pump out these amazing videos?
Andres Gaggero Working on a new one now. Yes, I plan to make a 5 or 6 part Legends of Drangleic series for Dark Souls 2. I'll be working on them over the next several months leading up to Bloodborne's release.
Damn... this has to be the best video for Dark Souls 2 lore I've seen to date, really captured Nashandra's goals and flaws and on top of that deeply explained Vendrick's struggles. Gave me the chills at some moments, great stuff! :D
I'm not the biggest fan of DS2, but your take on the ending totally transformed my view of it. I find it really poetic how Nashandra "created" the Bearer of the Curse as nothing more than a means to an end, completely underestimating the strength and resolve of one lowly human... and in the end, that was her undoing. Great stuff!
The way you present your lore videos is absolutely flawless. I was very disappointed in this game on a personal level but this video makes me happy that I stuck with it and finished it so I could understand your lore videos.
This was... moving. With all respect to Vaati and Mont and many others, this was hands down the greatest Lore video I've ever seen. I wish there was a way to like this more than once, because it deserves every one.
Loved it the story for this game is underrated its not all just vague references to Dark Souls 1 this is more of a personal story I think keep up with the videos man.
Really wish people like you still made these! There is so much content
Oh man I have missed your style of lore-video! Looking from character's subjective perspectives is such an effective way of telling their story, and with your profoundly compelling voice and narration style doing the telling, along with your masterful editing, yours are some of the best Lore videos RUclips has seen, IMO.
Bravo on Nashandra, I like how you made this an almost direct sequel to your Manus lore video, keeping your canon consistent I see! Can't wait for more, I vote Gavlan gets a lore video from you. His story needs to be told!
Thank YOU very much!
You know I have to keep to what I believe is true, but at the same time I try to make the lore of DS2 as little about DS1 as possible. I only mention anyone from DS1 by their actual name if I believe the character would know it. In this case, Dusk was the only person I said by name because I feel like Nashandra would know that information.
Also... I'd only be lying if I wasn't literally just talking to Dave about making a Gavlaan Lore video. Let's just say... he gets more and more drunk as the video goes on.
the scene when nashadra goes to the throne was awesome haha good job on the editing to you and all who helped
I kind of have this crazy theory about Nashandra that may be closer to false then to truth, but here we go!
I think Nashandra had it all planned out, that one day a destined undead will fight the way to seek the king of Drangleic, only to find the queen waiting honourably for the undead. and like you said, she sent him on a quest to find king vendrick and the only thing he had to keep Nashandra away from the throne. Once you optained the Kings ring, she made sure you kept on the right path, to find the "true" throne and become the Sovereign of the land, and once you had gotten rid of the final barrier, she steps in to fulfill her part of her plan, she seemed easy to beat... Almost to easy to beat, and once she was beaten, it looks like she is doing one final spell. and also her final Words were "now be one with the dark" like she is urging the undead to either join her, or to do what must be done. This could mean that once the undead had killed her she would only create a mirrage of her own soul, a fake soul. and maybe she still exist somewhere in this forgotten land, waiting for the right moment to strike, and achieve what is rightfully hers!
seeing the manus fragments theory SCARES me to no end , and here is why:
1- i hate how they turned manus into our main Villain
2- fromsoft can take this theory and milk the franchise ( i hope not) by them basicly just saying that another fragment has reshaped. (adding with the light and dark cycle)
also does this confirm that manus is the forgotten pygmy?
Well, even if From milks the franchise using this argument, they're not wrong at all
This is what DS1 told us from the start, the cycle never ends, humanity never gave up, they never let the Fire to be extinguished
The production quality of your videos is so mind blowing. Keep up the amazing work, you do us all a huge service.
The editing for this video is great!
This is probably the greatest lore video I've seen on anything in the Dark Souls series. Very well done. I hope you make more in the future. The way this was put together is everything I love about Dark Souls.
Do you think, where the giants came from (to the north) in Dark Souls II is the same as the "Land of Giants" which is coincidently in the North from Demon's Souls, an arch stone which we cannot traverse? Just a thought.
Soo worth the wait! This is why you continue to be my favorite lore provider (: superb video!
I watch almost all the major Dark Souls lore channels....and this is the best lore video I've ever seen.
this deserves a lot of views! super good editing skills. I LOVE IT!
So basically once the King knew about Nashandra's true intentions, he made a trial that is required to unlock the throne, and that trial is impossible for people like Nashandra to overcome. So after Vendrick's decent, Nashandra was like "Oh shitballs now it's impossible for me to take the true throne! Bah! Fuck it, I'll just sit here and dream about it"
And then the Cursed Undead (CU) came, and due to the CU not knowing why he's/she's there, Nashandra was like "AHA! Another fool! Keh heh heh I'll make it do the dirty work for me, then I'll take the throne!" and then Nashadra successfully tricks us into overcoming the king's trial.
After the CU faces the final challenge (Throne Watcher and Defender) he/she unlocks the throne and attempts to take it, but Nashandra comes in to complete her plan and back stabs the CU, trying to kill him/her so that she could take the throne for herself, but the CU kills Nashandra with a few hits and rules. (Aldia is whatever but he's a head so okay)
So in summary, Nashandra is a good,for nothing whore backstabber and gold digger
Sorry I don't mean to spam comments but I felt I didn't really comment on your video very well. Like a lot of the other comments left by other youtubers I find the quality of your videos and how you're telling the story and not just reading off info and speculations of your own theories. Not that those are bad by any means they're just so many, very few actually make story-content of this quality. You tell the story of the character, add those personal head-cannon touches that make it your own interpretation and give a dramatic and quality presentation that sucks in the viewer. As I said your Artorias video sold me on your channel, you had me sniffing tears for Artorias and those who mourned him after that video. You are a an artist, of the best kind, you get us to experience emotion with the story.
Wow... thanks Xeno.
Taking the time to express that means a lot.
My pleasure good sir.
Mantis this video is simply amazing from the beginnig to the bery end , the narration , the music , the background this was really awesome ... Very good , very good indeed :)
Firekeepers, what really are they, their relevance, those 3 in things betwixt and the lone one in the woods (could she have been chanelotte?)... Knowing about firekeepers would fill so many holes
This is a video of great quality that really adds to the feeling of story in the game and also gives me a lot of sympathy for Nashandra and Vendrick. I can't wait until the next one comes along.
This video is amazing. The presentation is so well done, the choice of music has such an impact on the narrative and the story-telling is powerful.
HOLY... WOW.... This is the best thing I've ever seen regarding the souls series. The tiny details in the videos, the narration, the lore. Bravo! BRAVO! - standing ovation -
Thank you, much appreciated.
The ONE flaw Nashandra did according to this Video is not because the BoC gathered Souls, but that She Underestimated Santier Spear. Nashandra should've subscribed to news channel about PVP if she wants to succeed. :P
Gave me shivers! Please wait for the DLCs to come out, those can give you a lot of info that you could miss if you do some characters right now, for example, i believe we will know more about Navlaan (i believe the he is from the pagans of the sunken kingdom) or other NPCs will extend their stories. May the Dark shine your way.
This is really beautiful, i literally clapped when the video ended. Amazing work!
Your voice is spine chillingly dark and creepy, it really sets the mood for these Dark Souls lore videos :3
I fucking love your lore videos because they're never just "Oh so yeah here's an item and another item and I think these two mean x,y, and z because reasons."
They're STORIES. Actual fucking stories. Like lore should be.
How is it possible one person can be so good at this kind of thing. Great job, I am excited to see more.
It's that $8 a month from Patreon put to good use. =)
Thanks! I'm excited to make more.
You have the best dark souls lore videos out of all the souls uploaders. Great job!
Great video - really informative, especially seeing as how in-game you don't find out much about Nashandra's true purpose until the end game, once you've actually beaten her and read into the lore more closely. Ironic that, as you said, she pretty much sealed her own fate in sending you off to clear all the obstacles to the Throne- because in gameplay terms, she is one of the easiest bosses in the game. Or her weakness was also because she was born from the smallest fragment of Manus?
And those closing lines were so perfect too, saying how she met the same fate as Manus in the end. Though if she's just been returned to the Dark, she could return somehow in the future perhaps...
Hmmmmm......a very excellent lore video! Love the story that you put into this, makes Nashandra a more.....interesting character. This does get us thinking about something though you said in the beginning with Manus, how his soul split into fragments which Nashandra (and presumably the other three daughters of dark) came from. We truly don't know how many fragments actually were cast off from Manus we he died or how many cycles have happened before the events of Dark Souls 2 take root. Could it be possible that in every cycle that there would be an agent of the dark, like Nashandra here? If the cycle is constantly repeating itself the way it has than it would make sense that an entity with a part of Manus souls inside of them would always come to make an appearance to try and usher in the age of dark. This is just speculation but perhaps in the events of Dark Souls 3 would feature a newest champion of the dark, possible the closest one out of all the previous to ever come close to fulfilling the will of manus and plunge the world into the abyss and the age of dark.
And thats why u one of the best RUclipsrs of all time in my opinion. The viewer can feel the effort u put into it. Its alway a short high Quality movie and i love to watch them. Pls keep it up we need more Lore Videos from you.
Poor nashandra underestimated a santier's-swinging undead, we've all made that mistake. Now if only she'd learned to parry it, like everyone else eventually did...
Good lord, man. This is truly exceptional work. I'll be watching future lord videos for sure.
Great job of editing. Really felt like I was watching a movie with a wonderful story.
Nashandra doesn't really seem that evil... She never does anything evil other than attempt to fight you in the throne room... It seems like to me that the man experiments on humans and giants to create immortality was more of a threat. Does it say any where that Vendrick peered into her soul, or can it be theorized that she tried to open up to him and tell him that if he sat on the throne he would not only die, but he would also restart the cycle he was trying to escape. But when Nashandra shared the alternative of being the Dark Lord and together they could end the cycle, and the world as they know it. Hearing that everything he had worked for would crumble Vendrick runs and attempts to find a cure himself while preventing Nashandra from touching the throne so that she would need him to make a decision. Nashandra probably gets offended by her lover running away after she shares her idea so she decides its best not to tell her chosen undead the plan, but to slowly take away his humanity so that he would be completely deterred from attempting to relight the flame.
I never understood the hate for DS2. I think its because Invincibility frames take levels and everyone, including myself, learned to play souls mainly with I-frames. It threw me off at first too but I stuck to it and loved it
i have seen all of these videos now, and i am truly in love with em!
fecking well done m8t!
Thanks for posting subtitles. Congratulations for the great job.
I'd really like to hear Aldia's story narrated by you, TerraMantis.
nice cutscenes and volume of the voice man. Grats!
Bravo! These are some of the most enthralling videos I've ever seen. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I was so immersed watching the video that I forgot the flow of time!
Truly, the souls universe has the best lore ever! and again thank you! I really mean it.
This was really well made.Good work Man!
Loved this video! I don't have to the patience to play the Dark Souls games myself, but the lore that fills this setting and world is incredible. You did a great job here with your narrative. Bravo :)
P.S. Thank you also for introducing me to AcousticLabs and ErikMMusic!
One big gripe i have with the story is how obvious the player is manipulated in their actions. DS1, the manipulation was very obscure and would be found by accident (or by being a dick and attacking the Goddess of Bewbs). I found that this was genius, however in DS2, I just couldnt digest the fact that this manipulation of the PC was very obvious. Kinda sucks for a series known for its subtle storytelling...
Xenos369 I had no idea what I was doing after I got the 4 Great Souls. After that I was just wondering around lost going place to place until I somehow went to linking the flame.
i love the lore to DS2, and it seems that from software focused a lot of time into the lore of this game, it is so in depth and creates so much interest, it keeps you on edge the whole game, which is one of the big reasons why i play this game. i love your vids man, and i hope to see some more lore vids in the future.
I'm not sure why this didn't end up in my inbox (good job youtube) but anyways, I really love the way you make a story, well.. Out of the story. It's what sets you aside from the other uploaders, now I'm not saying either one is better, I'm just acknowledging your creativity. This was so well done man, and I just love how your voice is in these videos, it gets you so much more into the story. Great job man!
well, that explains why she was looking so intently at the glowing shard in her hand.
that may very well have been the fragment that formed her.
I'd really like to see a Lore video on Velstadt, his background story is so intriguing. A wandering soul who happens upon Drangleic, and ultimately becoming The Royal Aegis, giving his life protecting the King. That is, in my opinion, a foundation that fits your storytelling style perfectly!
Velstadt and the loyalty of Vendrick's royal guards was the first video I ever planned to do. I feel like the DLC could expand on them and Vendrick so I'm holding off for now. Velstadt is my favorite character in DS2.
I got your back =)
This was simply badass. I loved the video, it was captivating, even the music.
I'm fascinated by this 1:25 clip. for some reason.
Very well made can't wait for more like this
Four Souls.
Four Kings. Just like the old times.
Four Kings that Rise and brought at their Queens, only, these Queens were born from the Dark.
that.....was....godlike..i watched all your older lore videos but i think this is the best fucking one yet man...i wish to god you had more views cuz you deff deserve em man damn good video^^
Dude I'm so late. but I love your videos so fuxking much. You seriously have a gift for these lore videos!
Great lore man this the first lore I have ever seen from you and you made a strong impression. Thanks to you I better understand the Dark Souls 2 story and you earned my subscribe keep up the good work.
Beautiful video once again TerraMantis!
Really enjoyed this episode. Great work.
really good and put together well, thoroughly enjoyed it
Great work! More Dark Souls II content please.
And what an amazing background music!
Great video man. I'm not really about these lore videos but this was very interesting I had no idea Nishandra came from Manus.
This game would of made a lot more sense if I had done things in order and got all the dialog lol. Thanks for the vid
"now undead become one with the dark" the story to this was great keep it up bro
Isn't Nashandra holding her own soul ou her left hand?
Man I the dark souls lore is so deep its amazing. Hell, the whole story with Izalith blew my mind, but then theres a whole other world out there.
bro what is this background music its so good
The way you say Nashandra slowly kills every fiber of my being
always looks forward to your lore videos.
I know this is sooooo old but I sincerely hope you do a "Legends of Lothric" series, you're bloody spectacular!!
So all of this happened because of Manus, Father of The Abyss? And weren't the Dragons ALL destroyed?
+BlueNoiseZZ It's all largely speculative. However, based upon all the provided evidence, Manus is heavily involved in the events of Dark Souls II but he is not exactly the crux of the entire storyline. Manus is, essentially, the embodiment of Dark in the world yet was defeated centuries prior to the events of Dark Souls II. However, as Dark is an innate force of the natural world, he only dissipated into separate fragments, each harboring a distinct aspect of human nature (i.e. fear, wrath, and want) that would eventually adopt their own specific form. Nashandra was the weakest of these fragments and represented the human characteristic of desire and thus supplemented herself to compensate for her own fragility and thus instigated a large portion of the events of Dark Souls II for the sake of power. As for the dragons, yes, the Everlasting Dragons were destroyed by the ancient Lords in the original Dark Souls. However, there were remnants that were present in Dark Souls such as the ancient dragon of Ash Lake and Seath the Scaleless. As for the Dragons in Dark Souls II, those were either rudimentary descendants of the Everlasting Dragons or artificial constructs created by Aldia.

Thats a good representation of the events that fold in this game. Its pretty impressive how they both connect, yet not told so lightly. To know a single boss, and coming from a DLC as well, can make such an influence on the second game. I guess in Dark Souls II this is the Age of Man/Age of Darkness? It seems Bonfires are still a resource of power, but I can very well look at DS3 and heavily tell that will be the Age of Man.
+BlueNoiseZZ I agree, there are a variety of well-integrated storylines between games, yet each retains a distinct identity.
While Dark Souls II takes place in a kingdom ruled by men, rather than gods, I would not call it the Age of Man as that seems to be defined as the complete absence of the First Flame's influence thus I would say that it is still the ending Age of Fire. As for the Age of Man, I think of it more as a theoretical construct. What I mean by that is that I don't think that such an Age can actually occur within the world of Dark Souls. From my perspective, Light and Dark are two conflicting primordial forces that can never really be surmounted by their opposite. Essentially, the Flame appears, representing life and order, only to be gradually subdued by the inexorable balancing force of Dark, representing chaos and death. But neither is completely vanquished. When the Flame rises, Dark is sent into a state of remission yet remains within men. When the Flame fades, Dark ensues but an enduring ember remains in the cinders. Fire may be contrived, but it remains an integral natural driving force for existence alongside Dark, thus I do not see much of a distinction between the Age of Fire and the Age of Man.
Anyway, just a thought on the matter.
Joe Shmo
Fantastic observation sir. Thank your for enlightening me on such details. I seem to have a proclivity in running into walls, story-wise with the Souls series. But this helped me in a sense have a better understanding with the lore being presented to us. Thanks again!
+BlueNoiseZZ Always glad to be of assistance :)
Not sure if video about Nashandra... or biopic of Hillary Clinton. Please advise.
This video is absolutely amazing. Kudos man, I'm totally impressed.
Awesome video man! Keep the fantastic work like you allways do!
Ever consider reading CreepyPastas? You've got the voice for it.
People have commented "Creepy Pasta" on my Manus video in the past, but they literally just say those two words with absolutely no context and I have no idea what they're talking about. What is Creepy Pasta?
Essentially, just scary stories. But the reason tend to enjoy them, is because the terror articulated in the stories isn't any sort of sudden scare, but the kind of creepiness you think about in bed. If you'd like to see a really good example of a well articulated Creepy Pasta, check out a story called "Prey" that's read by MrCreepyPasta. And if you prefer reading the stories yourself, there's always content on actual Creepy Pasta forums.
Zackery Palmer Question: Why are they called Creepy Pastas? That name seems kinda random...
Youre onto something. I think you could do a lot of story voice overs for games/books/etc
Penguin Forge the name comes from short stories being called "Copy+paste" stories, because people would just repeat them. This became copypasta, and the scary story version became known as creepypasta.
WOW that was awesome. You must have put a ton of hard work into this, like all your videos. Really liked it man great job :)
Dude your vids are awesome , the way you tell the story of the characters is amazing. Subbed !
Nice video man,I really liked
Trying to mimic a gravely voice just sounds like you're trying to mimic a gravely voice.
So are you thinking the shiny Nashandra holds is her tiny soul fragment that she started off as? Also, would love to see your theory on The Lost Sinner. That rabbit hole goes deep :o
TerraMantis bro u are just awesome, keep the good work up. This videos make me play the game over and over :)
why the hell dark souls 2 has so many prisoner themed enemies and locations?
Udenszirnis lore
love these explanations & theories. Dark souls has a great way of telling a story and leaving some parts to speculation.
This was amazing! I love these videos, keep up the great work!
