    Let's appreciate how OP ringed knights were during the war. Despite their equipment being very poorly made to fight dragons and being nerfed by Gwyn they each brought back an arch dragon head as proof of killing one.

  • @Sir_Crow
    @Sir_Crow 7 лет назад +539

    I noticed, the dialogue at the end calls The Abyss a mother of the world, and Solaire calls the Sunlight a magnificent father. Perhaps that is just what the entire world and humanity is in Dark Souls, a mix between the light and dark, with too much dark being terrible and evil (Artorias, New Londo with the Four Kings, Kaathe, and the corrupted Manus, who is called the Father of the Abyss, so perhaps the Abyss is almost like a subcategory of darkness?) along with too much light (Gwyn, Izalith, maybe even Nito considering his greed, the demons, the angels, and many more.) But when the dragons existed, there wasn't any light or dark, just gray. But when a fire appeared, granting light, it also brought a shadow, granting dark. The second ending to Dark Souls 3, where you let the fire fade, says the world will succumb to darkness, but light will appear again sometime later, maybe this acts as a way to reset the Age of Fire and bring balance again?

      (6 years later, nice necroposting, me.) I believe you are right. The appearance of the First Flame brought about the world's disparities. The duality Light=Gods and Dark=Humans superficially makes sense, until you realize that humanity was created by a Lord Soul as well. My (very Jungian) reading is that by merging light and dark (like in the secret ending), it's like humanity both accepts the good and the bad within themselves, by "integrating their light/fire" instead of "integrating their shadow".

    I find it interesting how Gael is almost a foil to the soul of cinder. Let me explain: The soul of cinder is essentially the Light Soul manifest--a conglomeration of all the past lords, all the previous warriors to link the flame come together as a single, defiant entity. It defends the kiln to the death, as though defending itself against potential usurpers out of desperation and paranoia. It is made up of all the generations that came before, and that is reflected in its move set and lore. The soul of cinder is all about the fear of losing power, the fear of being consumed by the dark. Thus the Light Soul is drawn to it, and other desperate, powerful beings like it.Gael is essentially the same, except he is the manifestation of the Dark Soul--note that his move set shows influences of both Artorias and Manus (probably other notable abyss creatures as well). Gael's story--the silent, unnoticed struggle of staying alive against all odds, and keeping his purpose to the end of his life--is perhaps the most human of any character of Dark Souls, and that is why he is drawn to the Dark Soul, and the Dark Soul to him.I wonder though if there are manifestations of the Life and Death souls in DS3 as well. Perhaps the Demon Prince or Demon King have taken to the Life Soul, and Aldrich (who may or may not have consumed Nito) has come to represent the Death Soul.This is mostly speculation, but I found the thought of the four original souls slowly pulling themselves together into singular beings after so long interesting. I'm curious to see what others think about this.

      You cant light the flame with only a few souls. Just look at what happened to Izalith when the witch did exactly that. Or Yhorm.
      It was incomplete. In DS, and any other cycle, the reason why it always runs out is somewhat explained in DS2. Or we get a real clue of what is going on. Its us.
      The reason why its the chosen undead that can and must link the flame is that the pygmies have dark souls within them.
      The other 3 lord souls are complete. Well, not really. Only Gwyns and Nitos were completed. The other 2, Life and Dark, are scattered amongst their respective people.
      But in DS3, Gael had hunted every pygmy there are (only you 2 remain). The demons are extinct and youve killed the last ones (demon prince and the last king)
      Gwyn and Nito is basically sitting at the bonfire (cuz you brought the other lords of cinder together by force).
      Basically, if you do it properly (chronologically correct), you usurp the flame (you become the first flame) as you are the very first one to finally complete the dark soul. You literally were the last pygmy standing after you killed Gael.
      The church of sable thought its because of their ritual (which it does play a small role) but it simply because you were at the very end of the world. You killed the last living being. You had all 4 lord souls completed, which no one has ever done. That is why you could "usurp" the flame.
      Really, all you did was become the bonfire. Good job. Someone from the painted world is going to drive a sword through you and claim your soul starting the whole series all over again.

    The only one who never lied to us was Kaathe.. I wish he would have been present at the end..
    Kaathe told us of our purpose, heritage and the power we can obtain and after we killed Gwyn, he even awaits us as promised.
    Kaathe even acknowledges when we faithfully followed his teachings and were strong enough to not fall for temptations unlike those who failed him like the Four Kings.
    He orders his Darkwraith to gather Humanity in order to reassemble the Dark Soul.
    Kaathe was the first and the last to every try to bring order and negate Gwyns failures.
    And I don't believe in Oolaciles innocence as they stole Manus' pendant who in turn lost his shit and brings the city down to the ground.
    That Mushroom even treats Artorias as a burden who must be killed as he was corrupted without any regret.
    Kaathe always searched for a Dark Lord and Manus was an option.
    What the Oolacilians did to Manus was beyond his control
    also Ingward proudly states how New Londo was flooded in order to contain the Darkness.
    He is familiar with Frampt and only gives the Seal Key to the Champion of the Gods...
    That's how far Gwyn is willing to go just to proceed his age of fire.
    killing off populations, burning humanity to ashes and imprisoning the Pygmies in a giant Ring which is like a mocking of their burden, the Dark Sign.

      If you kill Blades of the Darkmoon in DSIII as darkwraith you even receive a forked tongue, indicating they are liars and are defending just that.
      I always thought there is somewhat like worries in his voice.
      He wants it done fast BUT correctly because after all the failed attempts he just wants to go for sure.
      Kaathe explicitly states that his previous guys failed him, namely the Four Kings and they attack you without reason because they are corrupted.
      But Kaathe is not and neither are you in an Abyss which is completely peaceful and calm, unlike the Chasm in Oolacile created by Manus who was driven into his monstrous state by force and pain

      Sure they can be gentle and calming much like the dark can grant respite and solidarity to someone who needs to be left alone.
      But knowing that the dark soul is shared amongst pygmies, i think it created a different characteristic. Something which gives birth to the abyss. That something is feelings that had been bottled up and has been released from its vessel unto a new one. One that may not be able to fully cope/contain it so it seeps out.

      What Chaos is to the first flame is what the Deep is to the Abyss. The most important thing to note is that the words "Abyss" and "Deep" mean very nearly the same thing, and in the context of Aldrich's The Deep, they have the exact same connotations. Aldrich had visions of "the coming age of the deep sea," the significance of which is that the light of the sun does not penetrate into the depths of the ocean. This part of the ocean is commonly know as the abyssal zone.

    I was playing through DarkSouls 2 the other day and i had a stunning realization, and I would like anyone to give me more details about this or their opinions on the matter, what if Ludleth from Courtland is the player character from Darksouls 2? In DarkSouls 2 at the end of the DLCs you *spoiler*
    find out that with the 4 crowns combined you become immune to the effects of hollowing. Ludleth seem's to be the only "lord of Cinder" who seems to be unfit for the job. When killed it does not say "heir of fire destroyed" nor does he drop a large or significant soul, implying he didn't actually link the flame, just like our character in DarkSouls 2 is encouraged not to. When Ludleth dies he drops the skull ring which says
    "One of Courland's transposed wonders. Derived from the soul of a Soulfeeder.
    Easier to be detected by enemies.The Soulfeeder was a beast that insatiably absorbed souls to feed its own power. Even after its accursed corpse was burned, it is said that the pungent stench of souls left the air permanently stained."
    Since he could die repeatedy and never suffer hollowing whats to say that he is not the soulfeeder and was not just accumulating souls. He knows of firelink shrine and the forgotten shrine, and above all else he knows of the firekeeper whose corpse we find in the bell tower in firelink shrine. Could that firekeeper that he mentions in his quotes actually be the emerald herald from DarkSouls two? This is just something I thought of guys so if anyone has more imformation on either of these topics whether be completely wrong or on to something I would like the feed back from you guys.

      @wanderingbufoon 5 лет назад +23

      The real reason why its so dangerous is because the nature of the dark soul that the first pygmy did.
      The pygmy fragmented and shared the soul to EVERYONE. Now the dark soul becomes humanity: feelings, thoughts, dreams, etc.
      Imagine gaining the dark soul. While it reverses you being a hollow, you are now brimming with memories, thoughts, dreams, and emotions from its previous retainer.
      It can make someone wild. Like a berserker. Like Gael.
      Only those who are strong can keep their abyss at bay. Who can still retain some part of themselves. A goal, a memory, a promise.
      Gael, unlike Manus, never wavered and contained his abyss. He never turned into a moster like Manus did. He didnt let his emotions run rampant as to finish his promise. He stayed true, uncorrupted.
      This is why the abyss is so scary. It turns beings wild, not because of the dark, but because of the "things that gnaw" the thoughts, fears, dreams, emotions of humans who carried it before they released/was taken their humanity.

    “The answer bettween light and dark lies somewhere in the middle.” This reminds me of the pilgrims for some reason, with their shell to protect from the burst of beast, the pus of man. As well as the roots that consume them and crawl up from below. Above and below, the fire and the dark, what’s right lies somewhere in the middle, the unkindled’s choice to make. Or maybe something even more. Like the deep perhaps, is what shall become of the future. Also Yuria and Elfride, both with contrasting views of what should be, perhaps the answer lies, “somewhere in the middle” like with the third sister, Lillian. Maybe the other sisters know not of what’s right, maybe Lillian knows what’s right, and maybe the deep is what’s right.

And in the ruins of countless civilizations, their battle sheds the blood of the dark Soul from which a new world can be born."

    So I've gotten back into watching a lot of lore videos for Darks Souls and Bloodborne, and started to wonder how the first flame happened in Dark Souls. I mean how does a dark and calm world suddenly get engulfed in flames? But then I thought about the dark and calm world part. Isn't that the same type of world that the painter in the Painted World of Ariandel wants to create? If you know even the slightest bit about Dark Souls lore, you would know that it's filled to the brim with repetition and such. Would it be such a stretch to believe that the world in Dark Souls isn't some sort of painted world like Ariandel that the dragons escaped into since for whatever reason their previous world died in a sense? I mean I expected the world in DS to keep on going since it was stuck in an endless cycle of light and dark, but it eventually came to an end, so it could mean that there has been previous worlds that ended the same way. Just a thought. Like if you agree

      Collin Brown the thing about the age of ancients was That it wasn't cold at all. Before the first flame erupted there was no such thing as "cold". The only things that existed were the above and the below. Though the idea that the world Dark Souls take place in is also a painted world and the inhabitants don't know it because they stayed the ancient dragons (who would be the only beings aware of this fact) is interesting.

It has so many stupid mechanics like the health reduction every time you die, Lifegems are stupid you can buy as many as you want which destroys the good balanced healing you got with a limited number of healing in DS, the new stats which are so unnececary, the fall damage is ridiculous. The animations are so terrible I have no idea how they fucked up. The world and level design feels like they are designed to fuck YOU over in the worst possible way, and take the most obvious example like the earthen peak elevator to iron keep thats just lazy. The npc's are horrible they dont do things on their own they are just vendors or just go to majula and stays there, in the firs DS the npc's moved to different locations interacting with the world and had personal motivations. The bosses sucks they are uninspired and lacks variety.

  • @Voxyld
    @Voxyld 7 лет назад +81

    I now think that "undeath" is the natural state of humans :
    Darkness, in time, becomes humanity (see deep soul , great deep soul ,great soul dregs, and the openingcutscene of dks1)
    These humans are not the same as in the real world, they don't age. But the darksign, hidden during the "best moments" of the age of fire, slowly eats away their humanity, making them go old (notice how a hollow character is basically someone who got VERY old VERY fast) , and die. This is what Aldia, for me, meant when he said "'humans assumed a fleeting form"
    Once, humans knew how to countrol darkness , as in the armor and weapons of the ringed knights. But , no trace of this can be "seen" because everything was sealed away by fire. They could control darkness, and never went "hollow". But with the Age of fire, humans outside the ringed city were fed lies by the gods, and forgot how to control their inner darkness, and they even forgot they came from it. Which is why, when the fire dwindle, the darksign, which was hidden away, becomes visible, and the seal start to tear (dark sigils) , but the problem is : the humans now, they don't know how to control the dark, and so it leaks out of them , and they go hollow. The gods take advantage of that, and tell all humans that the dark sigils are bad, that it's a bad thing. But, you see, you can get all 8 dark sigils, and still not go hollow (just stay alive for that, after having used a purging stone) The gods just played with words, defining "life" as growing old and dying (your darkness disappearing gradually, eaten away by the hidden darksign on you) and "undeath" as being afflicted by the darksign, even though they really are the one who put the darksign on humanity, and the problem only started because the seal is weakening.
    So, is my theory cool ? .

    • @smoglin2369
      @smoglin2369 7 лет назад +3

    • @Voxyld
      @Voxyld 7 лет назад +18

      Kamden Kenerly
      The gods wanted the humans outside the ringed city to believe that "undeath" was not their natural state. Yuria talks about "the most honest shape of man" because when you are a "hollow" (with dark sigils) you gains access to your darkness , making you more powerful (free level ups) AND close to the original humans who had neither the dark sign nor the dark sigils, because THEY could freely control darkness (ringed knight stuff description).
      The gods DID place the darksign upon humans (100% sure) but they did that VERY EARLY ( think about when did the events of the ringed city took place, it was very early when the war with the dragons was still a thing) . Now that we know (again, 100%) that the darksign did exist at this time, it only makes sense to think it was applied to all of humanity, but was hidden away with the power of the fast fading flame. Hence the darksign "randomly" appearing on humans when the fire fade : the gods NEVER applied it to the humans at this time (it never made sense) , it was just revealed.
      Also, see pictures of the original humans in the dks1 cutscene ? Now do you dare tell me they look "'living" according to the gods description, and that they don't like like hollows at all.
      Thank you, for reading my OBJECTION to your OBJECTION to my theory =)

    • @wolfwarlordjake8992

      You get all Dark Sigils, but don't go hollow due to character powers. That's why Anri, as well as so many others, go hollow and you don't. It would pretty annoying of you lost all of your progress because you died too many times.

    • @Voxyld
      @Voxyld 7 лет назад +3

      It's not "THE natural state" it's : "the closest you can get to the natural state". Look at my second comment in this thread, my answer to Kamden Kenerly. The natural state of a human in this world is a state without the dark sign and without dark sigils, and in this state humans can access their own darkness naturally.
      Being a "hollow" can have two meaning depending on what you consider : One : someone "hollow" is someone who is FULLY a hollow, meaning the skinny/gross looking and mad people.
      Second, a hollow is someone who has at least ONE dark sigil , meaning their humanity is "always" in the process of leaking, and without your humanity you become one of those skinny, mad people.
      Remember, a dark sigil is essentially a byproduct of the dark sign, a dark sigil being like a hole opening up in the seal because of the weakening of the darksign. It's not great nor bad technically, it's just that for "normal" humans after the Age of Fire, they don't know how to control their darkness so it leaks out ( that is bad). But for you, the Champion of Ash, and for may hollows in Londor, probably like Yuria , it's a source of power, because it gives you access to your own darkness, meaning you are closer to the "true" humans,
      therefore a hollow (second meaning, not the mad people) is "the most honest shape of man"

However, both are ultimately doomed to fail, in part due to their own actions and preordained fate, yet both fail to realize that the world will still survive the end they fought (Lif and Lithrathsir/whatever age follows the Age of Dark).

    The locusts' dialougue and item descriptions along with a bunch more from the ringed city implies that my own theory of the dark could hold some truths.
    My own interpretation of the Dark since Ds1 has been that there is nothing wrong with it itself, it's the natural progression and evolution of the world. But with it sealed away and cast aside by the gods causes it to bubble up and explode with massive concentrations of it leading to uncontrollable (shall we say cancer-like) mutations creating monsters instead (Oolacile and the four kings are excellent examples of this). In length you could say the world itself ends up turning in on itself as it's constantly prevented to move on as it's supposed to.

      I only noticed this the other day but I think the fight vs Gael supports my theory.
      He was a small guy who apparently grew only while eating the dark souls, during the first 3rd of his health bar though he's like a monkey flailing a stick around then he stands up, using sophisticated moves, a crossbow and an evolved miracle with 5 discs instead of 1. Finally he basically starts flying and the sheer power has a world-ending feel to it.

    Dude! I've always played the SoulsBorne games not because of the lore but simply for the challenge. I don't know how I came across your channel, but I really am thankful, I've binge watched most of your videos on lore and you have a knack for story telling, seriously talented. I've since replaced all the SoulsBorne games, bar Demon souls, and I have a much greater appreciation for them and that's a big part thanx to you.
    Just wanted to say keep up the fantastic work, big fan here!

    I'm sad because Dark Souls is over, and I'm also sad because your lore videos about DS will soon be over too.
    Thank you for making that game even better Vaati.
    (and damn those shots of Midir flying are great !)

    Just a stray thought, but what if the Dark going wild is what happens when it comes into contact with the light. Perhaps within the Dark there is only calm but from without the dark seems like a deadly raging fire. Maybe as the dark grows within it builds like a pressure and when it is great enough it explodes from within, essentially 'going wild'.

    oh my god, you reconstructed all the lore of the game into a perfect filosophy (who could build and entire religion). I almost got nothing from the DLC and was absolutely disappointed with the ending. Now I am radiant with all that knowledge. COngratulations for another wonderful job!

    If you put your white summon sign outside the judicature boss fight you can be summoned as a spear of the church. I only tried once so it could be a glitch. Im not sure if there is any lore about that but who better to ask/tell. Great video Vaati.

    • @rodrigodelemos9048

      You get summoned automatically if you're in the spears of the church covenant. Doesn't matter if you put a sign or not.

    • @Arcrasis
      @Arcrasis 7 лет назад +1

      1357conor If it happened before the first post launch patch, that was a common glitch, being randomly summoned to defend the Church.

    • @1357conor

      I meant if you were not in the covenant

    • @Arcrasis

      1357conor The glitch occured without being in a covenant, so that might factor in

    After a couple of years I picked this game back up and finished it again, but never understood the story well with the dlc, thanks for telling the whole story and explaining the world of Dark Souls to me. It’s really a sad and dark tale no matter how you end the game but that’s what I love about the whole series and the way you explained it was just outstanding so thank you once again and hopefully we will hear more about Elden Ring or have a Dark Souls 4 with the ps5 I don’t see why not and they sure are taking their sweet time with Elden Ring🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

    • @sephyrias883
      @sephyrias883 7 лет назад +113

      It matters more than just for that lol
      It basicly started the whole cycle-theme, it brought Aldia into the game and the motivation to find a different conclusion to the problem other than "link fire vs dark lord".

      lol you mean the remastered version lol. They threw that in there because they realized how disconnected DS2 was lol. You handful of DS2 stans are pathetic. Only reason why that game matters is because on PVP. This is why DS2 is rarely talked about outside PVP, DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!

      @android19willpwn 7 лет назад +111

      Well the dragon betrayed the other dragons to side with the gods, and the god betrayed the other gods to side with the dragons, so I don't think it's at all hypocritical for the victorious gods to reward the guy who fought for them and punish the guy who betrayed them.
      That's pretty standard, really.

    • @MrExDArte
      @MrExDArte 7 лет назад +15

      Meh, not really. They initially accepted Seath into their ranks and even rewarded him because he was valuable in fighting other dragons. That doesn't mean they should forgive betrayal during the war.
