    Guys. EVERY. TIME. i blinked the contacts rotated slightly haha it's really obvious with dramatic ones like these. I gave up trying to adjust them after 5 mins. I can't take credit for intentionally turning them in each shot, but I'm glad some of you enjoyed the spinning effect.
    And for those who didn't, I'm sorry it was annoying! I just couldn't keep fiddling with my eyeballs as it would do more harm than good. So you'll just have to succumb to madness watching them turn !!!!!

    What disappoints me about this quest line is, you can use the frenzied flame to burn the Erdtree in Melina's stead, then use Miquella's Needle to purify yourself, so you can't end the game as the Lord of Frenzied Flame, but there's no alternative ending for this where Melina turns up and comments on it.
    It would've been nice to see *something* that acknowledges you both saving Melina and *not* leading the world to ruin.
    Come to think of it, this the ultimate FU to Shribri - and arguably the Greater Will - as you appear to give in to temptation by using the Frenzied Flame to save Melina, but then get rid of it once you're done with it, thus avoiding its negative consequences.
    (though, in that regard, it can also been seen as a narrative cop-out)

      @@axu2378 I still think you are effectively cleaned of it and that's the intention. You have to use it in Placidusax's arena it doesn't work anywhere else like Malenia's and Millicent's. The arena and Placidusax himself are displaced in time, to even be there *you* have to be displaced in time as well. Basically you slip into another timeline or pocket epoch where the specific flame guiding you hasn't actually met you or made contact or doesn't even exist potentially, you use the needle to "block" the influence from outer beings, and when you slip back into the regular timeline your godjammer is already online permanently (as far as we know as there's no way to be re-ignited) shutting it out.

      @@kylegonewild Could be, but it could also be that Frenzied Flame's influence is stronger than that of the rot god's, so Miquella's needle needs help from Placidusax's time power to lock it away. The reason I feel like Miquella's needle doesn't remove the frenzied flame from you is because of the item description and from the fact that when Millicent removes the needle she immediately succumbs to the Rot and turns into a flower, like the flood gates open and the effect bursts forth stronger than ever

    • @JasonMC-wc1jr
      @JasonMC-wc1jr 26 дней назад +44

      In regards to being a narrative cop out, i dont think it is. That's because, according to the lore, placidusax is an incredibly powerful being. shit even in the game, he is one of the hardest bosses. The journey to him is just as hard as well. When you're on your way to get the frenzied flame, there is a "hidden" letter only accessible if an enemy attacks the rubble that's blocking it. I basically tells you that if you need the frenzied flame but want to get rid of it afterwards, you gotta do it in a place that is beyond time itself ( im paraphrasing cuz i dont remember what it said exactly). So you can think of it as the tarnished wants to save Melina, learns how badly she feels about you getting the flame, you finding out you can get rid of it through a very arduous journey, accpeting to do so even though she will hate you for it and proceeding with the plan. Remember, doing this means you're robbing her of her purpose. What she believes is her reason for being "alive," so it would make sense that she would be angry and not talk to you even if you didn't become the lord of chaos

    • @CrimsonFang501
      @CrimsonFang501 24 дня назад +16

      ​@@JasonMC-wc1jr I fully agree. Despite how compassionate or caring you may be in trying to avoid Melina sacrificing herself, she fully believes it to be her one and only purpose.
      I honestly think it makes things alot more interesting and thought provoking. Why should she want to interact with someone that robs her of her purpose? What right does anyone have to decide someone else's fate against their wishes, no matter how noble it may seem? To what degree is doing so acceptable?
      Assuming she lives on without the player, maybe she finds new purpose and forgives the player but maybe not (cleansing the flame after burning the tree). For all we know it could be that she ceases to exist without purpose, we don't truly know much about her or the state of her existence. Perhaps we only see her/she continues to exist after the frenzy ending because she finds a new purpose in stopping your madness as a lord of frenzy.

    The lore, the topic... The cosplay.
    Chalice, this is easily some of your best work. One thing I have to wonder about Heytta is if she can be trusted as genuinely being her own person, or if she, like Shabriri, is a liar. After all, she looks very similar to Irina and presents herself as a friend in the same way Shabiri wears the flesh of Yura to appeal to our empathy.
    I also love this retrend From Software did with the Shabriri Grapes. Eyes for guidance, to seek a greater truth only to fall prey to Madness. It is quintessential Bloodborne.
    "Grant us Eyes..."
    I also love how your look here is like a merging of someone who has been possessed by the Three Fingers and Melina's Frienzed Flame Ending look. And the scar work on your ahoulders is very solid.

      I’ve always thought the frenzied flame is created or summoned by the unfairly persecuted and mistreated.

    @goldenrider2925 26 дней назад +15

    great vdeo as always!
    I definitely lean more towards Hyetta being a separate entity somehow, whether it's an amnesiac Irina or something else entirely. I think "Shabriri pretends the whole time" is something we just don't have any evidence for outside of "he did it cause it's chaotic". I think him robbing Irina of her memories, bestowing her a new name and tricking her into eating her own father's eyes is far more in line with what we know of his character and seems less like conjecture compared to the alternative.

      shabriri is also known for lying and slander so I believe that to be more likely, he told the resurrected girl about how tasty the "grapes" are as he sends the maddened individuals towards her. he might also be only able to possess 1 individual at a time and probably designed her as another way to guide some oblivious individual(like the player) to the 3 fingers.

    The Frenzied Flame is literally an amalgamation of suffering, trauma, and other horrific things pouring out of the eyes of the tormented. There was NO WAY in HELL I wasn't going to main that. I always started as someone chasing the flame of frenzy, but upon discovering Miquella's Haligtree, Malenia and Millicent I always find the Needle & I never go for the frenzied flame ending.

    @mulletalchemist 26 дней назад +15

    I've always thought it odd that considering the Frenzied Flame's patronage of the unjustly tormented and suffering, that people just take Shabriri's guilt as a matter of fact. Slander is one of the easiest crimes to falsify. It's a crime often used by the powerful to silence criticism. Same with the Nomads, accused of Heresy, another crime used to oppress. Irina's death was a senseless tragedy, why would Hyetta not be another such victim which came to possess Irina's corpse? Maybe even Vyke's maiden? This idea that the Three Fingers and the Flame of Frenzy are somehow deceitful or hiding something just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Shabriri straight up tells you he wants Chaos to reign, which is why it stands at odds to all the other endings, because all other endings involve repairing (or in the case of Ranni, replacing) the Golden Order of Marika. If anything, considering all the secrets and lies wrought by Marika, of the history before the Erdtree which has been erased, it's the Golden Order that has been openly deceitful. How "good" or "bad" the Frenzied Flame ending is *should* be ambiguous, which is part of why I think they took out Kale's quest, since it would too clearly set the Frenzied Flame as a force for righteousness. Doubt is important in the storytelling. You can't *know* for certain if what you're doing is right.
    To me, the ending is more akin to letting the fire burn out in the first Dark Souls. Yes, the current Order will be burned away, yes, there will be chaos, but will it always be chaos? Does burning it all away ensure that nothing new will come from the ashes? It just feels shortsighted to think so.

Because the Frenzied Flame hates everything, and now that it has its hateful hands on the world you best believe it's not going to let things like matter, energy or thought exist in its perfect nothing soup.

    Oh, i always took the frenzied flame at its word, although balked at it's choice in vessels (shabriri) (if he's as bad as descriptions say.) I always assumed since a hand has 5 fingers, and there are two and then three, that the greater will is a part of the "one great" and that those that suffer in the face of order(reality)(cause and effect), which is what I thought the greater will embodied, were an unfortunate consequence of all these divides and distinguisments (things act on other things, and that ability (reality) causes suffering whether deserved, or not (dependent)) So the Golden order and the two fingers buried the distress, the crys of those that reality/order's existence caused suffering, and thereby buried the three fingers (idk if they're a real entity, or a metaphoric one). This 3 fingers, or the part that suffers due to reality, or the capacity for choice that matters (cause and effect) wants to "burn" it, which means destroy all the life perhaps matter that has this agency, this cause and effect capacity, this reality, that brings about this suffering. The frenzied flame woshipers "howling without words, that they wish they were never born" The three fingers is this violent reappropration of life/matter in the face of this suffering, a mercy if one believes the suffering of life and reality is not worth the price of existence. Or in melina's case, an atrocity, if one views life as more worthy than the suffering it entails.
    But that was just my personal interpertation. The game is so vague, I may have just been imposing my own personal views into it, and it had nothing to do with these concepts at all.

      Something you may also consider is that the "three fingers" are actually two fingers and a thumb. Symbolically, it follows that if the two and three fingers were rejoined, it would symbolize balance.

    One personal theory I do have regarding the Frenzied Flame is that Shabriri was actually the one who was at fault for the nomadic merchants being sealed underground. I see it as that Shabriri was always a worshipper of the Frenzied Flame, even before losing his eyes. I think he spread the rumor that the merchants were heretics, causing them to get sealed underground. I believe this is the crime of slander that got his eyes removed. After this the Frenzied Flame inhabited his eyes. I'm pretty sure the reason he did slander the merchants was because he hoped their despair would summon the Frenzied Flame, which manifested as the Three Fingers.

      @@axu2378 Suffering necessitates being a living being to experience it. Life *IS* suffering as some religions and philosophies would say. A world devoid of distinguishable life is a world devoid of suffering by definition. The Frenzied Flame doesn't seek to simply burn, but to utterly consume. It doesn't feel motivated by nihilism to me, but transcendent retribution; righteous fury and indignation unshackled from the ties that bind. If life is suffering then the only way to truly stop the suffering and receive justice is to reduce everything to cinders as the suffering and injustice and division and pain will continue as long as life does. We are all equal in the embers of a burned world. Not saying this is my belief necessarily but how I imagine it's meant to come off. The cut Kale questline more readily points to the righteous indignation that motivates those who actively seek to invoke the Frenzied Flame. The flame speaking through Shabriri's soul or whatever understands the concept of injustice, it's how it preyed upon Vyke and attempts to prey upon you. The way the flame speaks about separation and division *DRIPS* with bitterness, resentment, and offense as if the very notion is an affront to existence itself. The Flame may actually be the first to have suffered, the first to be severed from the Great One.

    No one person should ever have the right to decide who lives and who dies. There is evil in the world yes, but seeking the Frenzied Flame is to deny those who are undoubtedly pure of heart and soul. Roderika, Boc, Miriel…these few are all the proof one needs to see that goodness exists and can continue to exist. If the solution for all problems is oblivion, then it is no solution at all.

    The point of the Frenzied Flame is: The Greater Will created life. And with it, the inevitable side effects of suffering, affliction and torment. Life has emerged from the One Great - the fracture that has been mentioned. That was its so called mistake. When life came to be, so came the Frenzied Flame - the manifestation of the desire to end it all. Shabriri was the first to hit a point of no return and soon after, many followed. As long as there is life, so there will be suffering. And as long life exists, the Frenzied Flame exists.

    @kaden1991 День назад +1

    The Frenzied Flame lore and the surrounding 3 Fingers lore is the best in the entire game imo, it perfectly encapsulates why the TLB is so entirely messed up. Just the idea that The One Great was essentially the proto-god that divided itself to give rise to existence and concepts, only for reality to essentially be born of a mistake or misunderstanding is so oddly compelling. Not quite unlike how Miquella was naive in his own understanding of godhood now that I think about it.
    Personally, I believe that The Greater Will AND the 3 Fingers are actually just a large fraction of The One Great, most likely the two largest remnants based on their power and influence. And if the Greater Will works anything like the reality in Demons' Souls it's most likely an aloof deity formed from the subconscious of every living thing in TLB. I love this idea because it reinforces how Chaos as a concept is antithetical to The Greater Will; if people's subconscious thoughts and desires are so fractured as to be incompatible, then The Greater Will becomes dysfunctional. Essentially, I see this as The Greater Will being the divine remnants every being once connected through The One Great, but that also means that The Frenzied Flame is most likely what's directly left of The One Great itself. How twisted and ironic that the being that gave up every part of itself in a selfless or lonely act of creation eventually came to realize it made a catastrophic error, and now only seeks to unmake the horror and suffering that it mistakenly created. Of course this means all the Outer Gods are also pieces of The One Great, but so little remained of what once was that they have now taken on new aspects. It's all just so interesting, I want to know more!
