Reacting to VaatiVidya Prepare To Cry - The Lord of Frenzied Flame 

Hey yo you're cute l do web design

​@@sexmachine77 😂

The "one ring" at the end of the video is Torrents ring, and the high pitched sound was him from inside the ring being burnt

To be frank, it just makes my day when you post. Please please please know that you always shine through it all it's no worries on our end!!! Hope you get well soon!

Next Prepare to cry The Warrior Within

I wouldn't say the best in the *entire* game...rather the best outside of Rykard's boss room

TOGETHA!

I hope they bring it back in the DLC Kale's storyline is truly heartbreaking

I gotta give best voice acting to "FOREFATHER ONE AND ALL, BEAR WITNESS!!". But yes, Kale's voice is definitely one of the best.

I think there was supposed to be a whole quest line with Kale that they cut. Not sure why. Maybe to release as dlc

That really should have been in the game, and since he was so upset and wanted to bring madness into the world I think it would have been cool if even just kale accepted you as his lord of frenzy since most other quest lines have people agreeing to bend a knee to you when you ascend the throne

I know, right.

How broken he sounds when he says his last lines always breaks my heart😔

me too *proceeds into starting a new frenzied playthrough

Hopefully the new DLC would brings along a patch to restore that questline, it could serves as an alternative route to this ending instead of Hyetta, which tbh made a lot more sense and give us an actual motive to end the world.

@@apophisstr6719 nah instead we got another golden child conspiracy. i wouldn't mind another DLC for malina after the frenzied flame ending though

@@maosama3695 too bad ig They did say dlc for elden ring is the last

Yeah, Emma kinda set the bar high by having this be her first Prepare to Cry video

@@alearnedman just want until you see our newest PTC that drops today, it's insane

If he’s still using the same guy as some of his older prepare to cries from Ds3, I believe it’s this guy called TheParryGod that does all the footage now. **Note** this is incorrect, it’s a creator called Misspap1 that does the footage.

@@moviebad109 for the elden ring PTC series, I'm actually the capture artist/editor. Parrygod is an absolute legend tho!

​@@mispap1 you have the eye of a triple A director, great work on them

an then they cut a major part out of it… 😬

​@@kv2315😅

its because the Frienzied Flame is supposed to be the "Bad" ending, and this questline would actually make it totally justified to do after seeing all that happened to Kale's kin.

@@Nek-oski It's not nor never was the bad ending. Frenzy Flame is the only ending that actually addresses the core problem of the Lands Between: suffering and how to end it.

I always read it as him desperately trying to summon himself, as it's the same whistle as when you call him. Maybe like he's trying to get back to Melina before he's burned away

Torrent is a spirit, so I think the ring being destroyed only stops Torrent from being summoned. Obviously not ALL spirits are gone since Melina is still alive.

The one reason I just can't bring myself to do this ending. I just can't handle the guilt of killing Torrent

I feel like it was just the wind blowing through the ring.

@@hoshikurama9666 bro just do it. It's not that deep and just remember it's a video game

Yea the sound of torrent's screams as he is trapped within the ring burning to death as Melina finds him is so sad.

I like the theory that Torrent's ring was made out of unaloyed gold, since the Shadow of the Erdtree teaser hints at *Miquella* being his former master. If that ends up being the case, then it might not be that our character discarded the ring by choice, but rather, was physically unable to use it anymore as unnaloyed gold wards off the influence of outer gods, and in that ending we literally become the vassal for one.

@@genexican9214 Yea tbh I wouldnt be surprised if thats true tbh tho it's odd that torrent's ring would of been burnt up if its made of unalloyed gold since it would be able to ward off the influence of the frenzy flame tho it could be that theres a threshold for how much the unalloyed gold can take and be overpowered. Before the DLC I believed Marika was the original owner of torrent because in the area you fight Maliketh theres a statue of a young girl with three wolves (And ranni gives you the spirit ashes of 3 wolves that used to belong to the owner of torrent) and behind the girl a symbol of the crucible is there. It would make sense Maliketh would choose a spot like that to defend destined death and Marika's race is Numen which according to the game is a long lived race so her being old enough to be around that time seems plausible. Tho I find it odd that Farum Azula would have a statue of a young Marika? Let alone the Crucible since the dragons ruled before the erdtree so why would they make anything for Marika or the Crucible so perhaps its someone else, it cant be any of the demigods cause i dont think any of them were born during that time. Personally I think Marika(or whoever the statue of the little girl is) originally owned both Torrent and the wolves but gave them to Miquella as a gift cause Miquella was good at making people like him so i dont see why this wouldnt also apply to his parents or parent I guess and the ring is made of gold.

Honestly, the completely different tones from Shabriri and Kale when they each say “Let chaos take the world” are incredible, and completely convey each one’s motivation for claiming chaos. Shabriri is manic nihilism, and Kale is a nihilistic depression.

Can confirm. I burned Melina, then explored the Shunning Grounds. This was a blind first playthrough so I didn't realize that the giant molten door was going to lock me into the worst ending. Melina's revenge cutscene did not play

@@SympatheticStrawman I think it doesn't lock you in to that ending, but there's no way you could know that in a blind playthrough either. I believe you can cleanse yourself of the flame using the needle you get at the end of Millicent's questline?

@@deschain1910 that is correct.

​@@deschain1910 just have to go through the hardest boss in the game to get it

​@@SympatheticStrawmannah fuck that, Frenzied flame ending>Age of the stars

And through their suffering, end it all

@dadab22 A beautiful description of the eyes. Thinking about it more, you realize how such despair affects the world around them as well, the animals, the trolls, even the very plants... They have been consumed by the very essence of true despair itself and simply wish for the world and the very pain they experience to be burned away, leaving nothing but ashes.

He is incredible. I’m getting the Soul Arts book for my birthday and it will probably be the best thing I ever own 🥺

@@Emmalition You're in for a treat! I got it a few months back, and I loved it!

How she gonna chase you down when you're a pile of ash? Or is she talking to us the player since she looks into the camera

@@CodeeXD The Tarnished is not a pile of ash tho

@@CodeeXD it's only a body you become the lord of frenzied flame

@@McSireson when the tarnished inherited frenzied flame the 3 fingers modified you body to withstand any and all flames so when you burn yourself it doesn't harm you

Oh! Wow! That is so cool. Thank you!!

Irina's dead body is still in her original location, though, even after meeting Hyetta. I've checked through several playthroughs and the body is always there. I think Hyetta looking like Irina is just a case of many characters (such as the generic finger maidens) sharing the same model.

@@marksamson4173 Alright, fair point. But then why design that condition in the first place? If the two are not even linked, why does one only appear if you start the other‘s questline?

⁠@@marksamson4173I always assumed that Hyetta was more like Melina in that she was kind of a spirit more than a true physical being.

@@willevensen7130 maybe Hyetta is Irina's lost spirit

I think that Hyetta is a different aspect of chaos. Not Shabriri but obviously something related to him.

She also shares the same model as Irina (morne castle quest npc) so maybe shabriri took over irinia after she died and made “hyetta”?

@@Rawrmuffin0 As he does with Yura.

I prefer the warrior within because it's more wholesome.

@@colonelkenpachi5009 I like that one but I have a thing for bleak, tragic stories and horror as well lol. Also I really like Malenia and I hope that she comes back in Miquella’s DLC in some form 😅

Wait he says that? I thought he said "The gods betray me no longer"

Today!! LFG!

@@minutemenhunter the hype is real, should be up in 1-2 hours. We're gonna do a premire so keep your eye out for the stream on his channel

Iirc this was the first time the new guy started to capture scenes for vaati, my dude has been doing this for years and it always brings great talent to his videos, big props to everyone involved for sure

The entirety of the prepare to cry series is mind-blowingly emotional

Probably dlc explanation. Like the ring city in DS3 kinda tied it off with the dark soul

I accidentally did the first hybrid in my first play-through and did the other (where I ended with perfect order ending) on my next trying to make amends for Melina. She did not really thank me though, guess she got hung up on the reckless move of playing with frenzied flame.

It's actually Antinatalism, the idea that birth or bringing life into the world is an inherent wrong. It's even more hardcore then nihilism, it's not just the belief that life has no meaning, it's the belief that life itself is _evil._

I don’t think it’s as much about suicide. Its more of a death of the self, as your character stands up with a flaming ball for a head. Now, how long it takes for the whole of creation to meld back into the “One Great”, is up for debate, but knowing Melina comes after us in this ending tells me she at least has a shot of taking the Lord of Frenzy out. Nihilism tho? For sure. I see it as the literal “Devil” route. The player destroys everything because you deem the world is too far beyond saving, that the scales of life are balanced more in the favor of pain and suffering than peace and prosperity.

No Nihilism is about finding purpose in morality without a god. This is not nihilistic, it's antinatalism. Antinatalism is the belief that no amount of happiness in a lifetime can justify the suffering experienced in life inherently, so therefore it is immoral to give birth and bring new people into the world. Nietzche directly rejects this notion. But that is what the frenzied flame is, it takes purchase in those who believe that the suffering experienced by people is so grave and unfixable that the whole world should burn. Tumblr ideas of nihilism is kinda like antinatalism so I guess you could be right there.

Also Shabriri sounds an awful lot like the devil or Satan in the Bible or religious lore. Tempting people with another way out. And yeah. Just very devilish

Flame of frenzy is pure nihilism yes. Basically the frenzied flame wants all of reality and the entire existence to simply stop existing. No more me and you, no more this or that, no more space, time, matter, differences etc. Just one wholeness. Some sort of singularity where everthing is one maybe? It is impossible for conflict in the world to occur if everything is one. For there to be any conflict in the world, two contending parties are required. Or in other words: A ME and a YOU is required, in order to create conflict and hence suffering. But, if neither you or me exists, or even can exist, because everything is one; then, it follows that conflict and every form of suffering cannot exist either.
