Patches punishing greed totally clicked with me. It also makes sense why Miyazaki sees himself in Patches. Miyazaki created a game that punishes wreckless greed. Simply beautiful.
If you're a masochist and want to be punished, then the punishment isn't a punishment which would leave you wanting and in itself is a form of punishment.
Interesting theory, but he kicks you down to a Skull Lantern in the first Dark Souls. If you don't have the Sunlight Maggot, the Skull Lantern is very important to seeing through the darkness of the Tomb of Giants. In Dark Souls 3, when he locks you in the tower, you can find a new way out of the tower where Irina will be if you make her a Firekeeper (and you can find the Firekeeper set in there). Or he's there to help you backstab the Swordmaster if you haven't killed him yet (and I forgot if there's an item at the bottom aside from the Firekeeper Set). The Lapp questline basically shows Patches in his purest form. A man of selflessness, wanting to help you while on his own journey to find himself, only now he isn't masking his intent behind greedy and traitorous deeds. We even see Lapp doubt your information for a split second before saying that you are a true friend of his. Maybe Patches puts on a front simply because he has been betrayed in the past, and he would rather make it very difficult for someone to grow close to him-someone that's not a thief stealing for those in need like Greirat-and make their attempts to try and kill him make it sting less for him? Perhaps he's been helping you in his own special way from the start? Food for thought. He's still an asshole though.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Perfect delivery on that last line. 👌 Also, wow! That theory is also very interesting. Food for thought indeed. *Except if you end up presenting yourself as a Cleric.* Then Patches goes out of his way to MURDER you. _(jeez! what happened in that guy's life?)_ But the idea of Patched being an asshole, but an unwilling helper who doesn't want to admit it also sounds very interesting. Because he never really gets rich from all the looting he's doing. And he never really earns that much by tricking all these people. HELL, he even went out of his way to try and help Grairat! I think that is when you can see his mask first fall off effectively. Patches clearly shows a tone of concern for Grairat, but immediately after tries to cover himself with a snarky comment, _seemingly_ mocking the great thief. Guess he's grown fond of Grairat more then he has anyone else. I for one still think he's hoping to get us killed to punish us for our "greed", but if he's secretly testing us and seeing if we can find the clues he's left behind, well that would add yet another layer of complexity to this beautiful bastard. 😆
We could easely reply that he see's more value in souls than in items themselves, therefore why he's asking you so much for simple items, particularly rubishes, we can see right there that any excuse is good enough to reclaim faithfully what you took greedely from others, a sincere form of respect for those who can't ask anything anymore
Not only that, but everything he sells is way overpriced. Only those who are untainted by greed, with no concern for profit or losses would buy from him.
If you think about it, Patches is a genius. He found the one way to never truly hollow. Every undead has a purpose, a fate, a duty. Once that task is complete, they have nothing. So instead, Patches decides that he can't lose what he doesn't have. He decides not to have a fate. He is humble, he doesn't care about the Flame, the Lords, or souls. Devoid of all earthly wants, he persists. He survives. Until the end of all things.
The idea behind it was, unlike other undead who persisted by striving for a goal and went hollow after completing their goal, patches chose a to have a value/goal that would never truly end even if he attained it. His goal was like a form of faith in a ironic twist.
I also want to point out that greirat also gave you a ring (specifically the blue tearstone ring more on that in a bit) to give to a woman named Loretta, when he is given her bone he mourns her and says "she was already dead" he knew she was dying the blue tearstone ring states that it improves damage absorption when health is low, or to put it another way the ring makes you more resilient the closer to dead you are and this makes me think Loretta was sick or injured and so greirat climbs the wall to retrieve the ring as the red tearstone ring is also found within the castle, he wanted to get this ring to prolong the life of a seemingly unimportant woman in the undead settlement. This truly embodies his "martyr for the poor" title, he risked imprisonment, even saves patches in the process all to save one woman. I know this video is old and about patches but greirat of everyone is the best person who can show us patches does hate greed, he is friendly towards greirat because he steals to help others the absolute opposite of greed.
@@michaelhenry3234 old comment or not, it's very possible that Loretta was his mother. However I always thought his mother died because they weren't wealthy enough to afford things they need. Which turned him to thieving

@Michael Henry I agree with this however I don’t agree that Greirat was suicidal. I think he believed he was had little purpose other than thievery, and aiding his liberator, and so he takes his loyalty to the Ashen One very seriously. I mainly believe this because upon speaking to him after “Siegward” saves him, he doesn’t seem that disappointed or ashamed he was saved, he sounded shocked but grateful. In summary, I don’t think Greirat actively wanted to die, he was just very enthusiastic to help you, and really enjoys what he does.

Not really, sure art allows freedom of interpretation , to say that an artist's own interpretation or intention means nothing is just wrong. An artist expresses himself through his work and wishes for his vision or feelings to reach as many people. How then his feelings are interpreted by those who view his work is largely upon them but still to say just coz he offered his work to others devoid him of his own is absolutely sad.
@Danny BRITZMAN If you ignore the author's wishes and perspective you are a worse dickhead than Patches. Seriously, art is subjective but to ignore the original intent when it's given to you is to play pretend and turns it all into pointless drivel, since nothing has value and every perspective is pointless as a form of interpretation.
@Danny BRITZMAN Imagine the art was supposed to be about peace but the peoples interpret it as war, ignoring the creator wishes. So yea, regardless of how we interpret it, the orginal creator wish must always be respected.
And then Patches started worshiping dark cosmic monstrosities which transported him to a parallel world where people become beasts through blood and turned him into a spider.
+You're completely right but, *_Still not worth the "monkey's paw" deal, if you ask me._* T__T But you're not wrong. His kicks would definitely hit harder. Lol! XD
>Does a video about a character who spends his life punishing the greedy >Hey guys beat me in Darksouls and get some merchandise! YEAH OK PATCHES I KNOW YOUR TRICKS.
@David Assébof ? Why shouldn't you pay youtubers? Because their videos are the source of their income? So people with a source of income never needs more money.
I believe that Patches has true faith in gods, and not the gods such as gwyn. In the ringed city he says "He will stick us in his prayers". He hates clerics due to the simple hypocrisy of their religion and how they crave power and "treasure" which was the reason the clerics where seeking the rite of kindleing in the first place
@@khajiitimanus7432 That would make sense. Velka is the goddess of sin and therefore, punishes those who commit sin. One such sin easily being *greed,* which Patches detests.
The world of Dark Souls has a will. Perhaps that its whom he is loyal to. After all, the first true sins began when the "gods" rebelled against it's will Thus their greed is passed on to their followers. Most of the world follows the "gods" and their greed. So it really does make sense that he follows Velka or the world I also strongly believe Velka had a Dark Soul. She valued truth more than her own will. And those who follow the dark in the serious always speak of truth and peace. Even the fire keeper, after gaining eyes and accepting darkness, begins saying that she hopes you find peace Vs being guided by flame
Everyone is surprised that Patches made it to the end of the world and I wonder why, have you seen how long he can squat for? He could crush Yhorms skull with his thighs alone.
always felt Lapp/Patches was the embodiment of the From Software team and Miyazaki during the Ringed City was them to help the player character one last time and a final goodbye to the people who had thoroughly enjoyed the journey of the soulsborne series.
I always liked the idea of patches being the furtive pygmy. Lapp made me like it even more. So patches found the dark soul, and with his kind personality he didnt want fame, he didnt want power. He was kind. So that made him furtive. He didnt stand out. He helped the gods win the war but they betrayed him. They betrayed his people. Then. His people betrayed him. He was alone. His selflessness got him naught but heartbreak. This is why he hates clerics. The spout the lies of the gods. They seek more power for the gods, themselves. Tell the tales of miracles filled with falsehoods. Charlatans. Then there are the humans. His descendants. Filled with greed. They fight and kill one another, all for the sake of power. It is better they be dead when they fail his test than live as fools who cant appreciate his brothers. Death to the lot of em. Then as the world ends, there is no one left to test, to punish. He then falls to the wretched curse beset upon him. The only way he could be the man he once was, is to forget. He is kind, caring. Only see the best in people. He meets you. And you help him. You are kind, and supportive. Then. He remembers. At the very end of the world, the first human and his last descendant. He states have a fine dark soul to you. The first holder of the dark soul gives his blessing to his last descendant. It just took the end of the world.
Or maybe patches its a shard of Manus, but the human shard that was lost in the Infinite dark of the abyss, maybe this was how Manus was when he was just a human and pygmin
I don't care what people say about The Ringed City. The Lapp questline and Gael boss fight are my favourite thnigs in the whole series, which I will remember fondly through all my life.
It seem's to be the highlight of the game from where I'm standing. I currently am just waiting for the shadows die twice thing to release so I can get Souls III on sale.
Normally id disagree, as creators need to make their money..... But trying to do a Thoughty2 ad just isnt what can work with these types of videos... You dont just transition from talking about some piece of lore, to then be talking about an ad... End the video THEN do the ad, or do the ad at the beginning, nobody can pull off the transition as smoothly as Thoughty2 though lmao.
"Why seek the truth when greater men have tried and gone mad seeking it." VaatiVidya Yeah I know its late.But this is the end story of all characters of Dark Souls
Even those like the Crerstfallen warrior from DS1, who didn't want any grand quest or grand design. He just wanted to exist in peace, until the smelly serpent came along with it's annoying snorting and unbearable stench, of course.
Perhaps. And take this with a pinch of salt. The description of the Mimic head tells us that mimics are people from a far away, forgotten land, where the crime of greed is punished by the convicted being cursed and transformed into a mimic. So that they may seek repentance by punishing others for their greed. What if Patches, comes from this forgotten land and embraces it culture and standards against greed. It would explain his obvious distaste towards greed.
Sadly we may never know anything about Patches, seeing as this is the final game in the series, and Dark Souls 3 following its predecessors and leaving much to interpretations, with a plot that was never meant to be fully understood.
MrSayWhat fromsoft is rolling in the dough. Theyve used "patches" in almost all their games (even armored core) so maybe their next game will feature more of patches. Albeit not concluding or describing his souls story but...more patches \[T]/
It’s worth noting that Patches disappears for a bit after telling him Greirat went to Lothric. Patches STILL tries to save Greirat even after his debt is repaid, he truly cares for him and Greirat only dies because Lothric is such a deathtrap
I have a theory, maybe even a ridiculous one, that all along, patches was in some way a in game portrayal of miyazaki himself. Patches, who was always with us, making us angry at times, but also helping us. Just like miyazaki of course, you might curse his name at times for the difficulty of the game. But in the end, it wouldn't be the same without the difficulty. Patches from demon souls, to the very end of the world of dark souls he was with us. Even in dark souls 2, the most different of the souls games, where miyazaki was not very prevalent in the making of the game, he was still in the game, as pate. As patches kicks us one (possibly) last time into the fray in the last dlc, so has miyazaki. I really hope any one stumbles upon this, to think maybe I'm on to something.
I was liking everything you were saying, except... Meh, I don't really put Pate on the same level of Patches. Pate just feels like a sleaze-ball, just like his rival Creighton. Meanwhile, Patches does drop hints here and there of there being more then he lets on besides his "evil trickery". I like to consider Pate a seperate character, and one I wouldn't hesitate to get killed. _(same with Creighton)_
The graveyard really shows how much the devs care for Patches, they designed that area around his quest line, simply for you to be kicked down and it actually helping you..
@@Blackhawk211 Not to forget that Patches was nearing the Hollowing process, already with no memory of his past. By the time he recovers it, he discards the set for his usual Thief set, only keeping around the useful weapons to assist against the Spear of Filianore. (though I find it ironic how he ended up finding a Pursuer Greatshield of all things, making him a "hunter" so to speak)
@@MrDibara he’s using the curse ward shield because as Lapp he wanted to fight off the curse for as long as possible, but even so still succumbed to the curse.
Patches is a troll so dedicated to his craft that he avoided going mad over the course of likely thousands of years. It's hard not to respect him in some fashion.
I killed patches all the time. He def didn't make it to the end of the world haha but seriously, this video kinda prevents me from harming the guy. Super sad.
so, if Patches has lasted until the end of time... when did he originated from? maybe he is one of the first undead dating back to the age of dragons, that would be awesome.
Sorry for the wait D: There's actually another Prepare to Cry ready and waiting in the wings (currently available for patrons), but I had to delay it because my PtC artist disappeared off the face of the earth :( Luckily, this led to me finding UndeadChestnut, whose comic inspired this video. We're still working on the next thumbnail! Thanks for your patience and support my guys
Vati it is time you must stitch all the dark souls lore together into 1 video. Every single thing from common fruit to Gael, from dark souls 1 characters and interactions to the existence off the first flame after the new dlc takes you to the new world. All of it as a final dedication to the souls series. From each bonfire names to the rivalries between different now in the series. That's and goodbye.
+claudio cozzi *Il Mare Eterno Nella Mia Anima plays on the background* This is enemy territory, Lorian and Lothric are lurking nearby. Yet they can't contain their emotions. Patches calls out to Greirat, [player character name] sheds sorrowful tears. But no matter how much they call out to Greirat, no answer returns. Greirat is dead and his silence constantly reminds Patches and [player character name] of his fate. But even if his life's blood ends here, his soul lives on. - Greirat the Thief rests here
I love how in the FromSoft Soulsborne universes, each different and the same in various degrees of sadness and death, there are, and always will be, two universal constants: - A greatsword, shining like resplendent moonlight, a weapon that’s wielded by only the strongest, most capable, most devout warriors. - A bald guy who will kick you off a cliff into monsters and poison and later say “It’s just a prank, bro.”
Who would have thought that Patches, a character who lies, kills, and even becomes a spider, would be a very philosophical character. If you told me that a few years ago, I would have smacked you across the face 100 times and demanded that you stop making shit up.. Thanks Vaati for another great video.
I think Patches represents the player better than anyone: obsessed with loot, doesn't take things too seriously and unable to resist the urge to push someone off a cliff when their back is turned.
Just tell lapp he's Solaire and his purpose is jolly coopetation and that if you stare at the sun you'll go blind so don't even think about it. You save his life and get Solaire back win win ;p
That was by far my favorite video you've I've ever seen Regarding Dark Soul's, I just gotta say that you have such an amazing ability to turn a Character from just another NPC into an amazing, Deep, Thoughtful and Memorable Character i truly appreciate your video's because without them Dark Souls just wouldn't be as good as it is.
Fun thing I thought of just yesterday while watching a Mitch L video: Patches is from Carim. He's got the same pale skin and sharp features adorning the faces of both Lautrec and Oswald. And of all the places we hear about in lore, the one with the shadiest clerics always seems to be Carim. Where else might one gain such a deep-seated loathing of clerics but the land where they are regularly tied to ritual sacrifice in the crafting of bite rings and such?
Shado White that was patches. Who he was before he was forced into being the heyna, the spider, the unbreakable. The undead curse is a curse indeed as it forced patches from being the selfless man he could have been into a man fighting for his own survival.
This is an amazing video, the ending almost brought me to tears. With the souls game having ended, I hope you will still find content to make Vaati. I really enjoy your videos, you're one of the few channels I'm willing to subscribe to.
Listening to this video made me remember what I love about Soulsborne. This dark atmosphere that is littered with characters, yet every single one that speaks has a purpose and a personality. Patches is the least likely to have a compelling story, but I fucking love it.
but why does he steal siegwards armor? all siegward wants is to defeat yhorm to fullfill his promise to his old friend. seems selfless for me, yet patches still robs him and throws him down a well
Its selfish. All thing are selfish. Siegward do that for himself. For his honor , for his sanity , to honor his memory. He do that for feeling good , being in peace with himself. Is not bad , is quite noble in fact. But in the end its a selfish act even if you hide it to your self.
because this theory is nonsense. Patches brags about looting your corpse in DS1 he is completely a greedy thief with only one soft spot for a fellow theif.
Upon replaying it, He also brags about looting your corpse and selling what he finds in DS 3 when he locks you in the tower. Patches is motivated by greed, not punishing greed.
This made me fall in love with Patches as a character because this confirms just how, ironically, humble Patches is: he never had "grand goal" in life, never wanted to light the flame or some such, he just lived. Sure, his life was hard, but it was a life worth living and he lived it the best he could - that is why he never went hollow, because, ironically enough, Patches might've been the most "human" character in the entire series.
The way you do videos. The atmosphere, the voice. This video honestly caused patches to become one of my favorite npcs. I actually made a dnd npc inspired by him.
Literally, out of all the characters, I never expected that Patches was telling the truth all of this time and it's somewhat poetic that he's your last friend, at the very end of the world.
Patches is a good boy. I can never stay mad at him, he is a sweetie. And also probably the only npc that differentiates your characters gender in his dialogue.
I love Patches' Ringed city quest so much. Hes one of my favourite npc of the series and I just think the character development and finale that he got is beautiful.
He may pull some very stupid pranks and dislike clerics, but Patches remains one of my favorite NPCs in the SoulsBorne series. I also find it somewhat... cute that he "flirts" with female player characters.
For some reason, hearing a man who forgot who he was, whose greatest wish in life is to find himself, say "I swear upon my birthname that I AM your friend." moves me to tears every time I hear it. Just the thought of him swearing on the one thing he truly wants in life and he swears that he is your friend. No matter what he does afterwards, this moment rings true, pure and unsullied.

Inb4 Vaati ends up defeating all the invaders and ends up having to keep all the merch for himself as he became invincible despite his true desire being he wanted to give the merch. Truly a thing that could end up in DS as someone wanting to give a legacy but not being able to because noone became capable of inhereting it.
I was trying to reference Vaati's line about how "Patches disdains the greed of men." If you don't invade, we can hardly call you greedy. But I think we know the real reason we'll be invading him. "I can see it in your eyes. If you didn't invade, didn't pillage, whatever would you do?"
It's really beautiful. I love this series, how it turns everything on its head. The intelligent, the heroic, the dutiful, the faithful....greed, want, desire, for good or Ill, every admirable trait turned into dust and darkness, kindling to a dying fire. Dark Souls 2 and 3 are masterpieces.

Happy to report Elden Ring has a great iteration of this icon
When fighting Radahn, if you summon him, he’ll just roll once and then leave.

I killed him because I stopped attacking and waited for a sec but nothing happened so I thought you were supposed to kill them because I'm retard adhd and didn't wait five more seconds
They just added a final stage to patches questline in elden ring

*Miyazaki See's this video* "Uhh..yeah that is exactly what I was going for."
Aha I am surprised someone uh... Finally figured this one out!
@Danny BRITZMAN yep, and that's the beauty of it. Some fans tho don't understand and defends the game was meant to be interpreted in a certain way
Not really, sure art allows freedom of interpretation , to say that an artist's own interpretation or intention means nothing is just wrong.
An artist expresses himself through his work and wishes for his vision or feelings to reach as many people. How then his feelings are interpreted by those who view his work is largely upon them but still to say just coz he offered his work to others devoid him of his own is absolutely sad.
@Danny BRITZMAN
If you ignore the author's wishes and perspective you are a worse dickhead than Patches. Seriously, art is subjective but to ignore the original intent when it's given to you is to play pretend and turns it all into pointless drivel, since nothing has value and every perspective is pointless as a form of interpretation.
@Danny BRITZMAN Imagine the art was supposed to be about peace but the peoples interpret it as war, ignoring the creator wishes. So yea, regardless of how we interpret it, the orginal creator wish must always be respected.

@David Assébof ? Why shouldn't you pay youtubers? Because their videos are the source of their income? So people with a source of income never needs more money.
I believe that Patches has true faith in gods, and not the gods such as gwyn. In the ringed city he says "He will stick us in his prayers". He hates clerics due to the simple hypocrisy of their religion and how they crave power and "treasure" which was the reason the clerics where seeking the rite of kindleing in the first place
I imagine that Patches might love Velka as a god to pray to.
@@khajiitimanus7432 That would make sense. Velka is the goddess of sin and therefore, punishes those who commit sin. One such sin easily being *greed,* which Patches detests.
@@MrDibara Basically what my line of thought was. :p
Could be amygdala
The world of Dark Souls has a will.
Perhaps that its whom he is loyal to. After all, the first true sins began when the "gods" rebelled against it's will
Thus their greed is passed on to their followers. Most of the world follows the "gods" and their greed. So it really does make sense that he follows Velka or the world
I also strongly believe Velka had a Dark Soul. She valued truth more than her own will. And those who follow the dark in the serious always speak of truth and peace. Even the fire keeper, after gaining eyes and accepting darkness, begins saying that she hopes you find peace
Vs being guided by flame
Patches went from a seemingly generic character that appeared designed to only piss you off to being one of the most intriguing in the series.
nah, he exists for the sole purpose of kicking you down a hole
Yeah anybody who makes it to the end of the world deserves respect.
that last sequence with all the characters always gives me goosebumps
it's a shame the add in the end ruins it tbh, i would have taken that add on any other video.
@@XEmiyaArcherX agreed!

I had stopped my video exactly on this point to read some comments
Considering he made it through the shattering of the Elden Ring, Patches truly is Untetherable.
Interesting to note. If you go back where you first meet "Lapp" after finishing his quest, you find a Seigbrau.
always felt Lapp/Patches was the embodiment of the From Software team and Miyazaki during the Ringed City was them to help the player character one last time and a final goodbye to the people who had thoroughly enjoyed the journey of the soulsborne series.
I always liked the idea of patches being the furtive pygmy. Lapp made me like it even more. So patches found the dark soul, and with his kind personality he didnt want fame, he didnt want power. He was kind. So that made him furtive. He didnt stand out. He helped the gods win the war but they betrayed him. They betrayed his people. Then. His people betrayed him. He was alone. His selflessness got him naught but heartbreak. This is why he hates clerics. The spout the lies of the gods. They seek more power for the gods, themselves. Tell the tales of miracles filled with falsehoods. Charlatans. Then there are the humans. His descendants. Filled with greed. They fight and kill one another, all for the sake of power. It is better they be dead when they fail his test than live as fools who cant appreciate his brothers. Death to the lot of em. Then as the world ends, there is no one left to test, to punish. He then falls to the wretched curse beset upon him. The only way he could be the man he once was, is to forget. He is kind, caring. Only see the best in people. He meets you. And you help him. You are kind, and supportive. Then. He remembers. At the very end of the world, the first human and his last descendant. He states have a fine dark soul to you. The first holder of the dark soul gives his blessing to his last descendant. It just took the end of the world.
I'm pretty sure the furtive pygmy is manus father of the abyss from dark souls 1
@@SwanTeeth I can agree but patches being a furtive pygmy also freaking cool you know
@@SwanTeeth Can't remember exactly, but we know he is a pygmy, but he might not be the pygmy.
Best comment
Or maybe patches its a shard of Manus, but the human shard that was lost in the Infinite dark of the abyss, maybe this was how Manus was when he was just a human and pygmin
I don't care what people say about The Ringed City. The Lapp questline and Gael boss fight are my favourite thnigs in the whole series, which I will remember fondly through all my life.
Martin Papos That's cuz your a filthy casual
You say that like people say bad stuff about about the ringed city.
I think that Dark Souls 3 and the Ringed City are turly worthy of the words "Acta Est Fabula".
It seem's to be the highlight of the game from where I'm standing. I currently am just waiting for the shadows die twice thing to release so I can get Souls III on sale.

The ending was so good and emotional and then the ad kinda killed it.
100% agree
Normally id disagree, as creators need to make their money..... But trying to do a Thoughty2 ad just isnt what can work with these types of videos... You dont just transition from talking about some piece of lore, to then be talking about an ad... End the video THEN do the ad, or do the ad at the beginning, nobody can pull off the transition as smoothly as Thoughty2 though lmao.
But it's public with vatti and it's awsome
Mwehh, it is right at the end of the video though, can't blame Vaati for using a good bridge :P
Yeah the ads should have been at the beginning. I was crying and then I just had to roll my eyes and close it

Perhaps. And take this with a pinch of salt. The description of the Mimic head tells us that mimics are people from a far away, forgotten land, where the crime of greed is punished by the convicted being cursed and transformed into a mimic. So that they may seek repentance by punishing others for their greed. What if Patches, comes from this forgotten land and embraces it culture and standards against greed. It would explain his obvious distaste towards greed.
Sadly we may never know anything about Patches, seeing as this is the final game in the series, and Dark Souls 3 following its predecessors and leaving much to interpretations, with a plot that was never meant to be fully understood.
MrSayWhat fromsoft is rolling in the dough. Theyve used "patches" in almost all their games (even armored core) so maybe their next game will feature more of patches. Albeit not concluding or describing his souls story but...more patches \[T]/
Sassy Hercules One can hope.
shit man your onto something
I think patches is supposed to be myisaki
It’s worth noting that Patches disappears for a bit after telling him Greirat went to Lothric. Patches STILL tries to save Greirat even after his debt is repaid, he truly cares for him and Greirat only dies because Lothric is such a deathtrap

Hey it was also in Bloodbor.....wait..shit
I have a theory, maybe even a ridiculous one, that all along, patches was in some way a in game portrayal of miyazaki himself. Patches, who was always with us, making us angry at times, but also helping us. Just like miyazaki of course, you might curse his name at times for the difficulty of the game. But in the end, it wouldn't be the same without the difficulty. Patches from demon souls, to the very end of the world of dark souls he was with us. Even in dark souls 2, the most different of the souls games, where miyazaki was not very prevalent in the making of the game, he was still in the game, as pate. As patches kicks us one (possibly) last time into the fray in the last dlc, so has miyazaki. I really hope any one stumbles upon this, to think maybe I'm on to something.
Adam Gazda actually Miyazaki himself has stated he connects with patches character
That made me feel warm after all these years of being with this series.
That, that actually is a very good head cannon
And we are alone in Bloodborne, he's the only familiar face that we have
I was liking everything you were saying, except... Meh, I don't really put Pate on the same level of Patches. Pate just feels like a sleaze-ball, just like his rival Creighton. Meanwhile, Patches does drop hints here and there of there being more then he lets on besides his "evil trickery". I like to consider Pate a seperate character, and one I wouldn't hesitate to get killed. _(same with Creighton)_

That’s an awful fine suit of armor for someone with “no earthly wants”, wouldn’t you say?
Late reply but that set of armour is ten a penny in the dreg heap. He likely picked it up out of need for protection
@@Blackhawk211 Not to forget that Patches was nearing the Hollowing process, already with no memory of his past. By the time he recovers it, he discards the set for his usual Thief set, only keeping around the useful weapons to assist against the Spear of Filianore. (though I find it ironic how he ended up finding a Pursuer Greatshield of all things, making him a "hunter" so to speak)
@@MrDibara he’s using the curse ward shield because as Lapp he wanted to fight off the curse for as long as possible, but even so still succumbed to the curse.
The fact that you are cosplaying Creighton is a very good touch.
Only Vaati can make me respect Patches.
Kek
Patches is a troll so dedicated to his craft that he avoided going mad over the course of likely thousands of years. It's hard not to respect him in some fashion.
puns upon puns
I killed patches all the time. He def didn't make it to the end of the world haha but seriously, this video kinda prevents me from harming the guy. Super sad.
so, if Patches has lasted until the end of time... when did he originated from? maybe he is one of the first undead dating back to the age of dragons, that would be awesome.
He's from the far away kingdom of Boletaria
The event soon begins, cant wait to play it again with other people :3
MICROmor he originates from a land called
Eastern Europe. He squats like a true slav, staying cheeki breeki till the end of the world.
Patches is the furtive Pygmy (kappa).
He's also in the future of Armored Core.
Sorry for the wait D:
There's actually another Prepare to Cry ready and waiting in the wings (currently available for patrons), but I had to delay it because my PtC artist disappeared off the face of the earth :( Luckily, this led to me finding UndeadChestnut, whose comic inspired this video.

Hey, Pal. Would be kind if you could share the name of the last song playing. Thanks in advance.
And now he's Patches the Untethered... maybe he even survived the end of the world?
i'm not mad you advertised in this video in principle. I'm mad because you just destroyed your momentum of your ending line with that plug....
Chico Papass yeaaah he should have put it at the beginning of the video in my opinion
It was really jarring. Just 3 or 4 more seconds before starting. Fade out to music...
I see it as an reference to patches ;) #Greed :D
"but the one thing you may have in common, is that neither of you ever looked back. Speaking of not switching back-"
Vati it is time you must stitch all the dark souls lore together into 1 video. Every single thing from common fruit to Gael, from dark souls 1 characters and interactions to the existence off the first flame after the new dlc takes you to the new world. All of it as a final dedication to the souls series. From each bonfire names to the rivalries between different now in the series. That's and goodbye.
So you want him to patch all his videos together and release it as one video? This makes no sense. lol

This is enemy territory, Lorian and Lothric are lurking nearby. Yet they can't contain their emotions. Patches calls out to Greirat, [player character name] sheds sorrowful tears. But no matter how much they call out to Greirat, no answer returns. Greirat is dead and his silence constantly reminds Patches and [player character name] of his fate. But even if his life's blood ends here, his soul lives on.
- Greirat the Thief rests here
Lacius GE Thiefs fate is truly bounded to Patches until death
I love how in the FromSoft Soulsborne universes, each different and the same in various degrees of sadness and death, there are, and always will be, two universal constants:
- A greatsword, shining like resplendent moonlight, a weapon that’s wielded by only the strongest, most capable, most devout warriors.
- A bald guy who will kick you off a cliff into monsters and poison and later say “It’s just a prank, bro.”
This really does feel like an epilogue to the entirety of Prepare to Cry.
We never looked back.
Superlative work, Vaati.
Who would have thought that Patches, a character who lies, kills, and even becomes a spider, would be a very philosophical character. If you told me that a few years ago, I would have smacked you across the face 100 times and demanded that you stop making shit up.. Thanks Vaati for another great video.

Character i truly appreciate your video's because without them Dark Souls just wouldn't be as good as it is.
Fun thing I thought of just yesterday while watching a Mitch L video:
Patches is from Carim.
He's got the same pale skin and sharp features adorning the faces of both Lautrec and Oswald. And of all the places we hear about in lore, the one with the shadiest clerics always seems to be Carim. Where else might one gain such a deep-seated loathing of clerics but the land where they are regularly tied to ritual sacrifice in the crafting of bite rings and such?
Is he perhaps all afther loyd ?
I Cried at 6:35 Gooddammit lapp why you have to be so great compared to patches
because Patches is great, he just doesn't show it.
Shado White that was patches. Who he was before he was forced into being the heyna, the spider, the unbreakable. The undead curse is a curse indeed as it forced patches from being the selfless man he could have been into a man fighting for his own survival.
lapp is patches fucking respect him you f
Shado White 666 like! It’s the devil!!..... just kidding
Shado White but he is Patches, that’s the point.
This is an amazing video, the ending almost brought me to tears. With the souls game having ended, I hope you will still find content to make Vaati. I really enjoy your videos, you're one of the few channels I'm willing to subscribe to.
The one episode where you do an advertisement is the same one you talk about the greed of men.
I dunno, maybe it’s just the way we are
He is luring people for patches
As ironic as that sounds. Views alone can't pay the bills you know.
LOL
Listening to this video made me remember what I love about Soulsborne. This dark atmosphere that is littered with characters, yet every single one that speaks has a purpose and a personality. Patches is the least likely to have a compelling story, but I fucking love it.
Patches's theme song: Stayin' Alive
When the Man Comes Around
The Man who laughs
Alucard Altair Its really "Still Alive"
Headshot Hunter pretty sure you are talking about a different song...
Edit: I meant "Stayin' Alive"
but why does he steal siegwards armor? all siegward wants is to defeat yhorm to fullfill his promise to his old friend. seems selfless for me, yet patches still robs him and throws him down a well
Its selfish. All thing are selfish. Siegward do that for himself. For his honor , for his sanity , to honor his memory. He do that for feeling good , being in peace with himself. Is not bad , is quite noble in fact. But in the end its a selfish act even if you hide it to your self.
because this theory is nonsense. Patches brags about looting your corpse in DS1 he is completely a greedy thief with only one soft spot for a fellow theif.
He kicked you down because you are greedy about the treasure, he sure hate cleric for good reason, greed
Upon replaying it, He also brags about looting your corpse and selling what he finds in DS 3 when he locks you in the tower. Patches is motivated by greed, not punishing greed.
He become evil to punish evil, but he is not greedy as you think
This made me fall in love with Patches as a character because this confirms just how, ironically, humble Patches is: he never had "grand goal" in life, never wanted to light the flame or some such, he just lived. Sure, his life was hard, but it was a life worth living and he lived it the best he could - that is why he never went hollow, because, ironically enough, Patches might've been the most "human" character in the entire series.
The way you do videos. The atmosphere, the voice. This video honestly caused patches to become one of my favorite npcs. I actually made a dnd npc inspired by him.
I'm speechless it's been a while since you've posted a Prepare to Cry and I am satisfied! Now you HAVE to make one for Lady Maria!!

Just the thought of him swearing on the one thing he truly wants in life and he swears that he is your friend. No matter what he does afterwards, this moment rings true, pure and unsullied.

Inb4 Vaati ends up defeating all the invaders and ends up having to keep all the merch for himself as he became invincible despite his true desire being he wanted to give the merch.
Truly a thing that could end up in DS as someone wanting to give a legacy but not being able to because noone became capable of inhereting it.
Vaati scoffs at the greed of fanboys.
Fanboys meaning his suscribers/patreons or the guys that will do the invading?
I was trying to reference Vaati's line about how "Patches disdains the greed of men."
If you don't invade, we can hardly call you greedy. But I think we know the real reason we'll be invading him.
"I can see it in your eyes. If you didn't invade, didn't pillage, whatever would you do?"
i hope vaati releases the invasion footage and we will see if he is a god.
