I wish i could suck my own dick. Kappa

Bless this. Happy Holidays Vaati.

HI VAATI! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Yeah he's pretty cool

Once it grabs you it doesn't let go

our lil lore angel with a very very good voice.

Wait, the same Vaati that Lenny bad mouths?

Marik Zilberman the son of Vaati's mum indeed

RIP Marcus 'EpicNameBro' 😑 so easily forgotten like the furtive pygmy

It all started with Marcus aka EpicNameBro. But Vaati's content is great! He makes the best lore videos for the SoulsBorne Franchise.

That shit cracks me up man

Literal NPCs

piedre rol Sheeps lol

If you sent virtual Anthrax and actually killed half of them no one would miss them

That's cause Twitch Chat is full of braindead retards. Nuff said.

This man... this is just it

Girl* apparently

@jjP a Actually, yes. Sif was a goddess mentioned often in Norse mythology. Sif is a girl.

@@Mernom your mom is a girl

@@youngcracker9517 epic roast.

It's even sadder when you realize Ciaran was there too, why do you think you pick up the Hornet ring behind his grave.

@@allhandsondik7803 I killed Ciaran so I dont have to give artorius soul and get her weapons... YOINKERS DUDE

@@ronan5427 respect...but also that’s kinda fucked

Very sad yes, but doesnt jerk my tears and much as Sieglindes lines.

@@allhandsondik7803 I guess she didn't feel an obligation like Sif did.

Fucking Sif, man. Gets me every god damn time.

True

I can't help but cry because the game's mean't alot to me over the years, and this just brings it all back.

Sif: BEST DOGO !!

Imagine crying over a video game.

It really feels like you were a part of the story, with parts such the ladies realisation of The Player saving her instead of Artorias. We have no real name, and yet it feels as if were remembered in Dark Souls legend.

>well thought out lore >Dark souls lore pick one dude, in DS3 they forgot about a character that was created before and just made references to her because they themselves had no idea what the story was at that point

@@Tom3kkk I honestly don't understand what you mean by that. The lore is great. Also which character did they forget about that should be in the game?

@@rundur4805 there is some bitch in lotrhic's castle thats supposedly died in that cage you go down through at one point or some shit like that, I dont remember right now because who remembers trash souls lore in 2018 OMEGALUL

@@Tom3kkk Don't be so edgy dude. You're scaring everyone away.

did he actually say anything in chat or just lurked?

@@UlfMTG they all said something. Vaati and the second runner chatted with the chat

@@cs82271 do you know the timestamp for the video when they did that?

@@UlfMTG i spent forever looking for it, the first comment is around the last 5 minutes of the first run and the second is about half way through the second

@@Anvarynn speed runners

I think he did, even if you saved him and he knew the Chosen Undead was a noble warrior he would still attack you for the ring you needed to finish his master's quest for no reason even though he probably knew you needed to and his master would want that too, and if you didn't save him he would attack you and he wouldn't let you escape from where you came from neither.

@Masterwar15 Actually he really did nothing wrong. He keeps attacking you even if you trigger the rememberance cutscene because he doesn't want you to go the same path as Artorias. He's preparing you and testing your skills to see if you're truly capable of succeeding where Artorias didn't. He'd rather kill you than see you get consumed by Abyss the same way as Artorias was. On the other hand if you're strong enough to beat him, Sif will finally be back with his master and will be proven that the chosen Undead will be able to move on.

And since when can the Chosen Undead read minds? Sif was nothing compared to Artorias, and since saving him means you already surpassed an empowered up version of his master (yes, corrupted Artorias is stronger than the original, the Abyss boosts everyone just like the rest of the citizens of Oolacile became powerful monsters, though mindless, Artorias becomes way stronger the longer he fights), plus he also helps you with Manus, who you defeated alongside him, you have nothing to prove to him. He knows you are the real ''Abyss Walker'', in the end in any case he just wants you to just end his life. @@rundur4805​

@@Masterwar15 Sif does want the chosen undead to take the same path as his former master. Sif much rather kill you, than to see you consumed by the abyss just like his former master. And you the player needed that ring, to finish what Artorias couldn't. Sif tries to stop you, but you don't or rather CAN'T stop. you NEED that ring. There's no other way to traverse the abyss without that ring. Sif does not want you to go to the Abyss, Sif does not want you to have the same fate as Artorias. You could say Sif was consumed by his own fear. His fear, clouded his judgement, deep down he know that the chosen Undead can do what Artorias couldn't. But Sif is just too scared, he does not want to see us consumed by the Abyss. But maybe deep down Sif also want you, the chosen undead, to end his life so he can meet his master. Maybe Sif wanted to die, and killed by you is the greatest honor. Not just that, he can be relieved that you're the one that defeated him, he know the ring is in the good hand. He can pass on peacefully knowing that the chosen undead will finish what his former master couldn't.

@@Masterwar15 I mean, you can't die... What's so bad about her killing you when you just come back? On the other hand, if you're consumed by the abyss, that's it, you're done. So actually, in this situation, Sif killing you is the better option from her perspective.

The chat is so cancerous, it can give a cockroach a tumor

@@__asher__ no but pretty sure u do

its almost like the chat consists of severel different people with differing opinions, its crazy!

Bunch of sheep, they’ll change at the “snap of a finger” in order to appease their gods.

they're a hivemind, and scared of forming their own opinions

Dark Souls is a Berserk fan game. Go look up the similarities and references.

@@Thalanox its not a berserk fangame just because it has references and influences from it. go look up all the other references and similarities to other stuff, like tolkin , george r r martin and lovecraft

@@Thalanox And Berserk has references to many things lol. Your point? Does that make Berserk a generic demon-hunting cursed protagonist bullcrap that's been done in the past? Don't think so. It's a great series regardless of its influence.

@@xDantey It started off as one, way, way back. The references are mostly to things like famous paintings of surreal horror. That's not the same kind of story inspiration reference as you might find between Souls and Berserk.

Stop calling Dark Souls an RPG. It's not an RPG. It's an action Metroidvania. You have almost no meaningful choices to make the entire game.

Have to say, I hate time travel in movies ald shows, nowadays it has to be *everywhere*, but ds1 handles it sooopp good

It's not like anything he saw will affect gameplay in the slightest. Before playing Soulsborne, I had already watched Speedruns, and they didn't help at all.

@@DrnMontemayor yea but you aren't only person on earth. Some people consider spoilers by showing weapons, armor and enemies etc. too

@@DrnMontemayor Well the thing that sucks more is that he's already seen some gameplay of some of the bosses in Dark Souls 3. Don't you think one of the best things about the series is not knowing what the bosses will be like? I know there wasn't much of it, but it still wont be a completely unique experience when he sees Midir, Gundyr, the Abyss Watchers, etc.

@@AlwaysRetr0 Not to me. I care more about how will I get there than the boss themselves. I like playing against the boss and learning them. Their designs and lore come as another layer.

The game is about 8 years old. If someone still complains about spoilers they are kinda too late

@ me

its true though

Except it is a girl.

@@BasketCase-rr7tx Shit, does that mean he just assumed Sif's gender?

@@HullsColby we are not snowflakes that believe there is infinite amount of genders, so it doesn't matter.

so sad

Nope,I did it as well,saving Sif and getting that alternate cutscene adds a lot of character to him/her and makes it more than just a regular boss fight,I guess we're both equally masochistic.

Sadly, if you want to go by the kaathe path, you can't save sif before it

@@Luki-1331 You can still let the flame die without meeting Kaathe, I mean after all that's what he wants right? EDIT: Wait, you can completely ignore Frampt until you save Sif and and fight the four kings, then Kaathe will show up right?

@@THExRISER to save sif, you need to get the lordvessel and unlock the path to duke's archives to get the pendant, and to follow kaathe's path, you need to defeat sif to get the ring and defeat the four kings. (And by kaathe's path, i mean making things with him leading you, not just taking the dark lord ending)

That's the best part about it, honestly. All of the information is in the game, but it's told in a way that makes you feel more like a historian traveling through a ruined world where all of the interesting stuff has already happened. It's up to you (And the rest of the community) to piece together information from item/armour descriptions and visuals in the environment to collectively come up with what the canon lore is. The developers never confirm or deny anything. I think it makes the story feel so much more interesting.

That's what makes it so beautiful and interesting though. This isn't a tale of legends told throughout the ages, it's a forgotten story, lost to time. A story of hollows who have all forgotten, even yourself. If the game told the story more overtly, then it wouldn't be the same story, and it wouldn't have the same impact. The subtlety of the story, and the hidden facets of it are what makes it so interesting.

Well, all of it is conveyed in the game, it's just in the cryptic words of other characters, item descriptions and visuals of the locations. Vaaty is just really good at pieceing it together.

Its like real history. We have a small bit of info that we piece together. You cant truly tell what is fact or fiction, because we dont truly know for sure. This is why I have invested thousands of hours and I'm so hyped to see asmond getting into the community. I just hope he can expand and resurrect the older games. He's the light to our dark.

Yeah the presentation of the story sucks, a big downside of their games including bloodborne lmao they could have had characters explain this stuff through the story or some nice exposition through a central narrator. They fucked up because they could still have all the extra cryptic lore that is found by those who look for it but also doesn't hurt the story.

Myazaki created a fucking New universe...SO RICH that deserves a prize...unfortunately the game comunity today only knows PEW PEW...and shitty fortnite dances

Honestly, i agree. Or a game in fact

A movie would be amazing...but It has to be directed by myazaki himself

This wasn’t one of those times so your comment and the people who liked it are coming off as cringe.

@@notmetoofor150 u both clearly dont know that the phrase is a meme you mongaloids

well, i started cutting onions towards the end (was making fried onion rings, actually)

Wukqng We both do know since it’s a well known meme, as I said “this wasn’t one of those times”. You just made it unfunny as all memes should be amusing. Nice going Sherlock.

@@notmetoofor150 ur an idiot

@St mD that's just wrong

Diegoshadow k

@@Diegoshadow85 What is wrong with your brain?

How come my eyes raining

Diegoshadow bro fuck off

what a shame

Killa1442 sif is a girl

The fact there will never be peace in the Dark Souls universe is the basis of the entire story of the games. At the end of the day you never fix anything, you only maintain a status quo.

Well that sorta was the whole point of the hollow ending in ds3 wasn't it? To bring in the age of darkness for good

Exactly

I really wish Miyazaki just releases a 30 second trailer with the Dark Sign set aflame and a #4 in the middle of it for April 1st lmfao would leave me actually crying on the floor cuz people would go crazy before realizing it's April 1st

meeran haq Yeah, the world of Dark Souls only comes in varying shades of “Shit’s Fucked”.

Responsibøøø

Cough cough, you meant Poland cough

@@fede1h334 Did Asmongold not know? Or he knows and dont care?

@@fede1h334 "we need to hold Forward direction for 100 hours to win?? best game evaaah!!" - witcher retards

or, i dunno, look at fucking videogame industry history and 90% of best games ever were japanese...

Japan didnt make ds lmao from soft started the idea of DS and miyazaki took over throwing out most ideas and starting fresh

no, there's far more to suggest manus IS the furtive pygmy than not

@@heliopyrethat being?

@@theonewhoismany8072 the descriptive language used when characters are talking about him, the connection with the abyss which echo's the corruption caused by the other lords, and Kaathe's involvement. there's nothing to suggest he's in filianore's egg. the pygmy lords aren't sealed in there either, at last not in the sense that I think you mean.

@@heliopyre I don't think he is the furtive pygmy because when his humanity went wild that should have corrupted all humans not only the ones in oolacile do to him being the ancestor of humanity

@@heliopyre edit:and alsanna clearly said that '' my father was once human but succumbed to the dark''so there is much that suggests that manus was just a pygmy not the furtive pygmy

Yeah it changes after you save Sif in Oolacile don't remember if you have to summon him for Manus too also the current theory on the abyss is that its a corrupted version of the dark after Gywn fucked up the order of the world.

@@rdogg114 I never saw a summon sign on Manus lel i just went in and killed him. Oh i see.

@@rdogg114 the abyss is to the dark as chaos is to izalith. a corruption of it
