DORK SOULS 3 "Seasoning Ash" (Dark Souls 3 Cartoon Parody) 

"Don't do it man you're not ready for the nameless king!" Midir: *HOLD ME BEER*

I love how Vaati keeps getting mentioned in Dark Souls parodies as the god of lore

Shez: Wears helmet to save on time and animation costs. Also Shez: Animates helmet

3:18 cleric beast from bloodborne spotted

I should've guessed that Squilla was a stoner dragon.

“The path of the dragon?” “Duuuuuuuuude “ xD

18:50 is _exactly_ how I beat this guy the first time. Okay, so maybe I _followed_ him off the cliff a second later, but the game still counted it as a win, so...

The animation for Friede entering 3rd phase at 25:20 is genuinely some of the highest quality I’ve ever seen on RU-vid- and the immediate scene of the character looking up with less detail to show how screwed he is- you are beyond talented!

If the fog alone kills you, you are not ready

Hey guys, it's Shez. I hope you have fun with Seasoning Ash. This parody contains literally hundreds of hidden secrets (you blink and you miss them) and I hope you guys will be able to uncover them with time. You might think I'm crazy but, I honestly can't wait to start working on the third and LAST chapter of this trilogy. I've got everything ready to go, tons of ideas already written down. But I do have to take just a small break though, for my health. I went to the dietitian just today for a visit, and I'm alarmingly underweight (since you asked, it's because i was not sleeping regularly and skipping meals at times). But still, my motivation is sky high \o/ Thanks to you all, for the amazing support.

7:50: for those don’t know, Untended graves is basically a glimpse of what would happen if the World went dark. As written in the description of his gear, champion Gundyr was late to the firelink shrine, And he couldn’t link the flame.He was later best to buy a champion, most likely the unkindled one, And became a sheath for the coiled sword, Hoping one day someone would remove the sword and link the flame again

to be honest I felt that Friede was much harder then the nameless king...

This is so good 👏

Bro I love the vaatividya reference I wish he would read the lore of the souls series to me at night as bedtime stories

PRULD was the best reference in this animation hands down

18:44 the animation on that fire is really good

When the dorks are two, a spoon arised... Both dork and spoon benefits from thee...

For anyone who played the game and didn't fight The Nameless King... YOU ARE NOT READY

21:15 The comment section's next line is "Is that a JoJo reference?!"

Sister friede be like that though... Never thought she'd be into a cute purple bra though

I get it! The uzi was missing from the shop when he bought the rpg and grenades because Friede bought it!!

It was a pleasant surprise to the see the dark souls animator meme master thepruld and hilarious to see vaatividya just trying to figure out and explain the lore. It was also fun to look for hidden references it's obvious that a lot of hardwork was put into this video, that's why I love this channel.

I died at the Sailor Soul transformation. As a child of the 90s, YESSSS, PRAISE THE SUN (AND THE SOLAR SYSTEM MAKE-UP!)

The amount of detail in this is astonishing, yes of course i died laughing because the references are surreal, but i stop almost every couple frames to see the little details you have added, its a genius work and thats for all your effort.

I love how he goes from upbeat Italian to peaceful English.

13:06 that fly breaking the chair is my favorite part of this whole video😂

When you're Italian and know what he's saying at 15:27 🤣🤣

Honestly I love these. As someone who never even played dark souls but my friends who have played them and them talking about it,you perfectly encapsulate how they describe it! In gorgeous animation too!

Sailor Moon make-up reference made my night :D

All easter eggs, references and small details: 0:09 AlienWare 0:14 Shezmen's Wacom 0:21 Steam and other references 0:26 Metroid: Samus Returns - Theme of Samus (whistling) 0:27 Star Wars and Portal 0:52 Dark Souls 1/3 opening phrase 1:05 Frampt or Kaathe (DS1) 1:14 Sailor Moon 1:16 Deal With It glasses 1:25 Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru sound (Fist of the North Star) 1:50 Dream Theater (The Majesty Symbol) 1:50, 2:05 Lower right screen corner (Death Stranding) 2:19 Sound (Slenderman) 2:27 Prague - Czech Republic (Charles bridge) 2:45, 2:51 Fire Keeper's crown face 2:45 Patreon 2:54 Asus 3:14 WASD buttons looks shabby 3:18 Cleric Beast boss in the background (Bloodborne) 3:23 Sewer Centipede with diving mask 3:23 RTSR (Red TearStone Ring) 3:41 "Careless Whisper" by George Michael and Vevo 3:48 Pus of Man lube (>_

Came to your channel as a fan of dark souls, left as a fan of your art. This is unbelievably gorgeous man. I love how stylized you get with some of the sequences too. The sheer density of each frame, and the number of them… it’s breathtaking, honestly. Animation can be an arduous task, but seeing stuff like this makes it all seem worthwhile

I love how the altered music tracks still sound great.

14:01 “Your ex-girlfriend’s heart.” Accurate.

I’m happy to be Italian for the Oscar(thepruld) scene

8:57 champion Gundyr mad AF.

the detailing and editing for this series, is out of this world! thank you for all of these

Man it was a long wait but the payoff is so so worth it, congratulations dude!

Oh god. He's gonna have to fight Midir. Oh god. That's not good.

Did anyone else know that there was an online coop with 3 people and one person did get stuck under the coffin guess what gundyr do..... He suddenly leaped out of bounds and died

Love all the details in this. Well done and Good job!!

How do people dislike a video like this. Do you know how much effort, dedication, and hours it probably took to make this

You even got ThePruld and VaatyVidia here? Congratulations! Great love from Italy! the comedy and animation skills really improved, I really appreciate all the effort you put on these videos, instasubscription!

This is not only insanely entertaining but also insanely accurate! The best way to see these is right after beating the game :D

I like how everything's so accurate, keep on the great job !!

man this is so good xD

OMG Shez that was such an amazing animation ! I can't believe that it is already over The animation was so smooth, the jokes were perfect you put so many lil easter eggs in it (rip sonic) :'D i guess i have to watch this animation over and over again :D Thank you for this awesome masterpiece!

No joke I’ve probably watched this video 10 times and it still makes me smile every time I watch it shez keep it I love your work

(ALSO, super great job with the animation work this is really well done

This isn't even the true hell of dark souls. The ringed city calls for you Matthew

Finaly you release this cartoon ! This is so great. You did a pretty good job !

This is pure gold man. Cant believe i haven't seen this sooner. Absolute gold my dude!

19:51 the painting in the left corner is called The Sayuri, and is from Persona 5

Now for The Ringed City

No words can describe this masterpiece. I can't even imagine how much time and effort it took to make such an insane, fun, detailed and so good looking animation. Shez's channel is so underrated and deserves way more attention and support UwU

Those animations with Dark Soul make me start play the game ... Jeez good job man you are awesome

15:24 the when you turn on the English captions u can read what he's saying and it's so funny

And so the cycle continues Also I see that cleric beast in the background pretty nice

That were some A+ animation skills and A+ cameos, even though I didn't saw Stan Lee in there

Omg the nameless king poking his head over the bridge killed me 😂😂😂 these are amazing! I’m dying to play DS3 again now

As of 4:16 I'm subscribing. I used to only have one video of yours I'd go back to for nostalgia, and to briefly wonder if anyone still plays DS3 enough to warrant playing it again in 2020. This video though has obviously had much more effort put into it... or rather, that's not right. This video perfectly showcases your animation ability in snapshot fashion compared to the other DS video. It's very apparent that you've picked up new animating skills, and it really affects your content. LOVED the video, keep it up please

Seriously, you are one of the best animators I have ever seen on youtube! (Not just an animator but an amazing storyteller too)

I can't wait for the next part!

When u realize that the samurai guy became sekiro and this came before it came out

the animation on this is on point lol , definitely subscribed.

Didn’t even watch it yet, but I already love it!

Damn, Lady Elfriede is really badass, just like this animation

Thanks for fr subtitles ❤ love your work

I barely know anything about dark souls other than that it's a really really REALLY hard game but, your animations and creativity makes it very entertaining to watch, as you animate your struggles throughout the game. Great work man!

Where is the 3 episode ThePruld!!!??

A "the pruld" cameo! I love you boy!

I love these videos dude you have earned my subscription

My birthday is in like, 3 months. Nice to see that Dancer brought me some early cake🎂🎂🎂

man! this animations are just PERFECT! great work man... totally worth the wait

You know you're not ready for the boss when the fog wall kills you.

Never noticed the use of holy diver at the smouldering lake, awesome!

These videos are amazing iff u played souls n actually been through areas u can definitely appreciate how close these videos resemble in a comedic way

Just a flat out amazing video, had so many laughs watching it and the jokes/dialogue were spot on perfect. Seasoned Knight for the future finale is going to be epic. You deserve a well earned break, and to take care yourself. Thank you for the content! #TheDorkKnightRises

Your first dark souls video pushed me to buy dark souls 3. I remember just watching a little bit everytime I progressed, and now, a year later, after completing the dlcs and the two other games, I can say it was worth the wait. Thank you for showing me such a cool game, and thank you for this animation!

this was the only dark souls 3 cartoon that wasn't included in your "cartoons" playlist... I had to search on youtube search bar to find this

Wow we made it to the Shez win parody Czechia thx Shez we love you for that and more❤❤❤

I always knew Vaati was Velka in secret

when the game said you are not rddy that was the perfect moment for kratos to pop in there and say 'boy'

Such smooth animation, I'm amazed!💗💗💗💗💗

these animations are great. XD im gonna binge watch all of em.

*Praise the Sun, Shez is back* Always a pleasure to see all your hard work on display. The comedy keeps getting better & the animation more fluid, you ambitious fool I completely related to improving your craft *you've also inspired me to make my own animations* I hope to have made 2 videos by my birthday in March - wish me luck

ThePruld And Vaatyvidia in this video? Wow that’s incredible ... and poor guy he will never have the 3rd episode xD

Even though this is old I still really enjoy watching it

1:30 How magic builds looks like when they start using big ass moonlight sword

This is honestly some how way better than the first. All the little things put in were just great. You are an absolute legend for making this

That's A LOT of comments. :) Edit: Just wanted to let you guys know that, even if I was crushed, I SAFELY re-spawned at my house's bonfire... XD

Keep forgetting to mention that you missed one on the burned alive counter. There were 7. You're still awesome Shez! List below: Dancer 3:56 Demon Ruins 7:24 Arch Dragon Peak 12:03 and 12:51 Ariandel 14:09 24:18 and 26:16 (even if it was Friede and not really burned alive but you counted it)

Your content is amazing! keep it up!

This video has been published half an hour ago, and there are around 500 comments already You can just imagine the amount of love this people (or the majority of them) have to this channel and to the videos Great job as always

Waiting was worth of every second

Lady Frieza of the order of the black flame9000ti (tm)- I'm dead xD this was amazing!

you sir have won me as a subscriber specifically for the Sailor Moon transformation. I love this so much.

Your first Dork Souls video was already good... but this was even better! Really good job!

Dude this is INCREDIBLE!!! As a fellow animator I can understand the patience and effort this takes!! Well done dude, your detail, colour, animation, voice acting, staging and sound editing is just AWESOME!!! Keep up the hard work, love your stuff!! ❤️

DUUUDE the pacing of the humour has improved so much, the slow-mo triple ballista scene was GREAT !!!!!!!!1one

I love the subtle 80’s music and stuff in these
