    It’s interesting how there’s really no antagonist in dark souls 3. It’s almost like the universe is screaming at you to finally the end cycle literally and mentally begging you to end a world that shouldn’t exist. While everyone else screams back trying to make the best decision for the world. It’s just sad and painful but everyone hopes that something better comes after regardless of what ending they choose.

    A lot of people were upset that Dark Souls 3 referenced Dark Souls 1 a lot, but it honestly just makes sense for a sequel to do that, and Dark Souls 3 is a wonderful ending to the series. I love the stories of Pontiff, Nameless King, Gael and Midir too, really makes their fights hit that much harder.

The gameplay is the best of the three and it has the best of the bosses. I was completely immersed in the story as well. Not truly knowing the story led me to multiple lore channels and into the community of these games. Following DS3, I went and beat Bloodborne and then best it again along with DS3 on the eve of Elden Ring.

    The end of this series always strikes me in such a profound way. It's ironic that the soul of the furtive pigmy, shunned and turned away by Gwyn and the other Lords and considered the weakest soul by those same gods, would be the most sought-after soul at the end of time, and that the soul of humanity would be the only medium for a new world when time and fire had burned away all else. And for Gale to be the one to pursue the dark soul and live not only from the beginning of time but to see the end of it, only to be struck down when his journey was nearly to the end equals the irony of the pigmies. On top of it all we who have played the entire series and seen these different ages first-hand can only stare on at the vain uselessness of the struggle of it all, as all our previous iterations of lighting flame after flame and destroying the lords that held such power were all left to the hands of a slave and the souls of a pigmy.
    Also thank you for this video, over four hours of lore is nothing to scoff at.

  • @eddie2000ad

    Its my head cannon that the ashen one is the chosen undead from the first game having chosen not to link the fire, this of course could be seen as a "failure" hence why the chosen undead is brought back. The first to have the opportunity to link the fire would be the absolute last one to be brought back to reattempt it. All the enemies defeated in ds1 and the path laid bare anyone could have come and linked it and that "age of dark" ending would not have lasted long, especially if you like the the idea of solaire linking the flame in your place as the creator likes to think himself.
    The chosen undead, now unkindled ash has risen again at the end of all things to right the mistake he made the first time around, simply leaving the flame to burn out wasn't enough, and a true snuffing of the embers must take place. On their journey they meet gaile, and patches, who like him was there from the beginning to witness the end, a connection that goes beyond words truly links these individuals beyond friendship, true understanding. Gaile provided the chosen undead with an alternate path, humanity should not have to meet its tragic end at the end of the age of fire, and they help in the completion of painting a new world for the final few left of humanity to escape to, a pocket world within a pocket world, its time so far removed from this accursed world it might as well be a fresh start.
    Alas, the ashen one is no longer human and cannot share such a forgiving fate, they are ash, no longer a human with a dark soul and its own humanity, they are linked with the dying flame, and along with the fire keeper who has now taken the first flame within herself you both await the end of this world together, the last 2 embers in a dark world providing the last bit of warmth for each other.

      @dmmd8304 Год назад

      it seems there is no real true story. your story sounds as good as it may be. but it does eventually seem obvious no real hard story exists. linking the fire sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. it’s seems all just made up for the purpose of releasing an action game with supposed “hard lore” but it’s too lazy really. nice theory tho. it could never be falsified.

    • @eddie2000ad
      @eddie2000ad Год назад +7

      @dmmd8304 as i said it's my "head cannon", you're correct in the sense that there is no hard lore when it comes to DS but some of that comes from the fact that there are multiple endings in each game, and no clearly defined timeline, as solaire pointed out himself in the first game. That is to say there is some interpretation needed for dark souls and I'd say its intentional, i feel like a fact that is overlooked by the fans quite often is that these games are roleplaying games, we choose who our characters are and what the path is. The lore is vague because it's our job to create the story ourselves, for example , the story i came up with. It's what i experienced personally by achieving the endings i did during my playthroughs and reflected my own thoughts and feelings as my character reflects them.

      There could have been any untold number of generations of chosen undeads across these 3 games, 3's doesn't necessarily have to have been one we played from the previous games (especially since not everybody would have played those games). But the context of 3's ashen one is clear that its chosen undead has at least tried to go into the fire before, so he definitely would NOT have picked the dark ending of 1 or 2, since he DID go into the fire to become ash

      @eddie2000ad sadly this Headcanon doesn't fit the actual lore.
      The Cemetery of Ash in which the Unkindled One is called back to life was build during Lothric's reign, so it's impossible that the Chosen Undead of Lordran is kept buried within it (just like the Lord of Cinders we found in DS3 are the Lord that linked the fire only under Lothric's reign and not all the Lord of Cinders of the entire history).
      Also: an unkindled is an undead that tried to link the flame without being powerful enough to do so and that lost it's heat because of that, so it's not possible that our main character is someone who refused to link the Flame

    Now in DS3's defense they can't squeeze a lot of DS2's lore because Drangleic is kinda disconnected from Lordran and Lothric but they certainly missed opportunities to include the efforts of Vendrick in there, like how Vendrick found a way to stop hollowing by the use of 4 crowns with some aspect of the flame, so in theory if the humans created enough crowns/accessory they all could've have been "cured" giving an alternate solution to finally rest

    I struggle a lot with depression . I played dark souls remastered 1 year ago being guided by FightinCowboy's walkthrough. I fell in love. It became my favourite genre of games of all time. It helped me fight it. Until today, I recall fondly how I discovered death is lore-related on ds1 subreddit.
    Every time Laurence said "Don't you dare go Hollow" meant something, not just for the game, but for me. I must fight onwards, rebelling against fate itself, do not lose sight of myself or my goals. I vowed to understand its lore, but even Vaati couldn´t help. But after saying dark souls 1 and 3 lore video, I think im well informed. Thank you. Dark Souls and Berserk changed me as a sentient being. No matter how much futuristic this world is, it will always be made dreary due to humanity and their sins, but not even gods are moral saints. It's up to us to carve meaning to our existences, by ourselves, love fate and all of its hardships, even if that means tread the path in solitude. People are capable of the laudable deeds but also unspeakable crimes against themselves.
    I look forward to your next videos. It will surely help me find myself in this cell of a world.

    I’m literally down to two bosses in my first DS3 playthrough (gundyr and first flame). Will be watching this in multiple sessions. I love how comprehensive your lore-dives are. My question: how much of this is you reading between the lines yourself, how much borrowing from other community theories, and what is explicit in the story? It seems like it’s all woven together v well so far!

      We do our best to ensure that the majority of what we cover is factual in terms of Miyazaki's intended storytelling, however when we branch off into the realm of speculation, we attempt to shine light on the many different perspectives whilst making it clear that what is mentioned is naught but a theory. We also attempt to avoid theories that do not have any solid references to support them. Hope this answers your question, and thank you for watching! ❤

    Dark Souls came to me at a time where I myself was at a crossroads in life, dark and desolate days lingered on each path in front of me, yet in the decrepit world of dark souls is where I found solace, seeing the journey of the chosen undead, the bearer of the curse and finally the ashen one taught me that for there to be light there needs to be dark, life is a cycle if one begins it must end but that does not mean another does not rise.
    Your videos are the epitome of true homage given to not just any game but a piece of art oozing in rich lore and even more richer the path each undead risen from ash goes through. The sheer quality, dedication and pure passion breathed into these wonderous and deeply engaging videos are the pillars of any upstanding content creation and you guys have absolutely smashed it beyond all comprehension.
    I honestly just am in pure awe of how beautiful the world of Dark Souls really is and how magnificently detailed and true to its work each second of the souls saga videos are.
    Thank you for creating this, this will forever stay in my heart and I will always count myself thankful to have witnessed these videos.

I watched your dark souls 1 lore video after beating the game and i loved it. After playing dark souls 3 I was wanting to watch your lore video but it wasnt there, so I didnt watch any other lore videos and I waited.. At last here it is just in time very close to when i got into the series. I just got a playstation so i can play bloodborne, I'll be watching your bloodborne lore after I beat the game and the only souls game i have left to to play is demon souls.
