@@greglucci1513 I know that Xanthous has a literal meaning of yellow, but some of the ways that Xanthous is referred to implies that it's a place or location. The armor set and some other items make reference to "Xanthous scholars," implying a type of well-traveled scholars. They're described to uncover lost sorceries, but are not credited with originating from any known homeland despite the adjective. It just seems implicative that the adjective 'Xanthous' isn't just describing the color of robe that they wear, but perhaps where they're from. Dark Souls has long followed a system where a type of knight or sorcerer or cleric (along with their armaments) is described by the location they came from (Lothric Knights, Faraam Knights, Balder Knights, etc.), and occasionally what their occupation was (Painting Guardians, Dragonrider Knights, Outrider Knights); but never have they been described solely by a color without some sort of extra explicit lore (Silver Knights from Anor Londo, Black Knights attacking Izalith and marching to the Kiln). So... I just find it unlikely that Xanthous only refers to the yellow robes.

I wouldn’t say oscar became unkindled it’s more like a homage to him, an elite knight holding a flask same exact event in ds1. If you look more into the lore it’s depicted that unkindled are undead that reached the kiln of the first flame but failed to light the first flame and turned to ash therefore they’re resurrected as, well, unkindled those who made it farther than any undead but not even close to be a lord of cinder and Oscar wasn’t a millimeter close to lighting it nor cared. In ds1 it’s told that Oscar, after being smashed through the roof by the stray demon, became hollow as shown him attacking you on your return to the asylum, because he had fulfilled his purpose and his motive, to free as many undead from the asylum to ring the bells and fulfill the prophecy. For those to turn hollow is to not have a purpose or motive, therefore you become insane, this is also shown in many character in dark souls that go hollow and aggro on you just like oscar, such as reah, the crestfallen warrior, siegmeyer, and both anri and Horace from ds3, as because Horace found himself stranded and no hope of coming out of the lake, and Anri having fulfilling her/his duty by killing Aldrich. It’s having a purpose in life that it prevents undead from going insane and becoming beef jerky, and fulfilling one’s purpose is bestowed the same fate as one who has none, being hollow, and sure there are those that see being hollow and are fine, but I mean the undead you see living out the name given to them, mindless deranged husks of a person. So was that Oscar dead at the fountain in the cemetery of ash? No he died hundreds of years back in the very asylum he freed you from
@Garviel-Loken3 жыл бұрын
@@raisinbran1421 you forgetting that in ds3 the player had already died, possibly hundreds or thousands of year's ago and then reawakened in the current age as had the previous lords of Cinder. Anri never hollows as part of her story, only Horace does. Also, siegward doesn't hollow in 3. Very few characters turn hollow. Oscar can have hollowed during the events of dark souls and become unkindled. At no point does it say you need to have gotten to the kiln to become unkindled you just have to have failed to link the flame. Oscar's family have the undead curse as a legend and members of the family attempt to ring the bells so he certainly has reason to be a chosen undead. Oscar in the cemetery of ash provides the ashen estus whereas Oscar provides the regular one in ds. Oscar fails to escape the asylum and the cemetery. If patches can survive for a potential millennium then it stands to reason that Oscar can be resurrected as an unkindled and have died before he made it out of the cemetery (due to awakening with an ashen estus and not a regular one) especially as the lore dictates that this is 100% possible and is in fact what's happening to you and the Lords of Cinder. Lands are smashed together that do not belong in the same time or place. Lords separated by aeons reside in one body. The cemetery of ash and fire link isn't part of the world and it is the untended graves that is in the "real world" as it can be travelled too without warping. You can also be born in a painted world and then conquer the real world like the Pontiff. So, I would say that given the lore we are presented with that it is very likely that the corpse is Oscar reborn and the killed in the cemetery of Ash. Hollowing has nothing to do with being reborn as an unkindled and is not prevented by hollowing.

In ds3, the whole arena seems to be in the stump of an archtree. This lines up neatly with the ds1 opening cinematic in which we see the flame ignited deep in an archtree. (Also the possible translation of the titanite slab sais "the meek/weak sought refuge in the trees" tells me the same thing, since they found the flame there) Conclusion: flames like wood and trees.

i prefer 2 imo, 3 to me tried too hard to be dark souls 1 again, ftr im not against it being connected to ds1, but it goes "remember this from DS1? oh how about this", i enjopyed 2's atmosphere better, though i will concede the areas should've been connected better, 2 felt like a new place to explore, a kingdom that has long been dead, though i do appreciate to me anyways 3's feel of being at the exact end of the kingdom in a dying world. also i liked how in DS2 that you are in a new land, you are in a kingdom far to the north and i prefer it that way, i feel that each game would've been better off loosely connected as in they are on the same world but in three distinct kingdoms with their own lore.

@@Rammkommando no offense but that’s a shit take. I see what you’re saying (tho i disagree), but 2 is widely considered the worst game Fromsoft has made since inventing the Souls-like genre with Demon’s Souls. And for good reason, Myazaki was forced out of his role, despite being the creative head of the series. He’s what made DS1 so great. Plus DS2 had shit balance. Their idea of making things hard was to throw lots of bullshit at you instead of crafting carefully balanced fights. The Iron Passage is a perfect example.

Lothric (The location) has been speculated to be lordran hence the reason why we see andre (My waifu) back. That long haired hollow you see before entering the ringed city? It might be the furtive pygmy himself. The demon prince arena is actually the firelink shrine just, aged. Gael and midir has odd connections to Manus and Kalameet.

His Pyromancer Parting Flame mentions something about losing his “hideous wife” or something like that.

Hell you could even argue (without evidence of course) that Friede might have killed Priscilla in order to take her place. Certainly doesn’t seem out of character for her.

The "time being convoluted" meme is just Miyazaki's copout answer to free him from the responsibility of being a consistent storyteller, man. Anybody can just pull that card to explain shit that doesn't make sense in their story. Personally, I don't think any of these characters are from the original game. They're most likely people who pillaged these original character's armor the same way our character pillages everyone else's armor. It makes more sense that way since the whole theme of dark souls is centered around trying to revive a dead concept or beating a dead horse into a certain point of irony.

Well in DS3 drangleic is called the legend of the the linking of the flame(drang set). And considering how the director practically stated It takes place in a different continent than DS1 it makes sense for there to be little lore in DS3. On a side note of just wanting to talk about lore, I like to think it took place on a human continent and the reason why people/undead went here was because (theory) Gwynevere and the gods created a legend here(Heides tower of flame). So the whole becoming a monarch was probably just another set up for manipulating the undead. But by the time Drangleic exist multiple Kings exist and as we know not a true king is there (adlia states a true king is someone who ascends the throne and links the flame). Instead there are 3 kings (idk about sunken) who retained their strength and never ascended to the throne. If we take into account Aldia's and Vendricks findings on the curse and soul they probably knew the legend as a lie. So this is what brought forth the denial of the gods and ended the manipulation of man kind hence why there are rare acknowledgement of their existence(gods) by the human kingdoms. Notice how in DS1 our character never became a king and just burned, now in DS2 there are kings but they hardly retain their influence because... they ascend the throne(presumably a kiln that takes you to the 1st flame) which is why in DS2 it's mention over and over again that so many kingdoms have fallen only for another to rise. This is was kept the legend of the flame keeping away the curse strong as well as the gods having easily control over mankind..Well until Vendrick that is... I'm gonna guess that him and the other king in the land probably had a mutual agreement in working together (different soldiers/kings from dif. Kingdoms/lands are supporting Drangleic) and with the influence/power these kings have because of their soul it makes sense for the gods to flee the land of man returning to the land of the gods. Well because of their(Drangleic) findings in DS2 mankind was free of manipulation but as if the consequences of their decisions finally results in the world of DS3 where the flame itself manifest to sustain itself. This is me just sharing some thoughts on DS2 lore... Probably the most under looked/appreciated lore of the 3 games....like come on the usurp the flame ending in DS3(lord of hollows) was probably in line to what Nashandra was trying to do at the end of the 2nd game...

It's a swirling conglomeration of time and space where anything and everything is possible. I mean hell, there's a whole optional side area (Untended Graves) where you literally travel to an alternate timeline where the flame has already been extinguished.

Outside of the fact that DS2's lore of the cycle is the exlusive reason were even in 3 and is the backbone of all the lore revolving the Lord's and the Soul of Cinder, I love the little details. Wolgnir being implied to possess the king's crown's from the DS2 dlc, and the Ruin sentinels in the Ringed city having been sent by Vendrick, and confirming that DS2 Took place on an entirely different continent to DS3 and DS1, are two of my favorites. To this day I only wish there was even more DS2 present. Say what you will about DS2 but imo, hindsight has shown me to see DS2's lore, story telling and themes, to be wholly unique compared to how incredibly similar DS1 and 3 are in that regard. I think what DS2 did overall, was expand and elevate this universe. To this day Aldia is still my favorite character in the Lore, and his words stick with me most as I explored Lothric and eventually, the Ringed City

Nobody going to mention how absolutely wild that intro was? The main reason I clicked on it was seeing that little preview when my mouse was hovering over it, thinking the video was bugging out or was just clever in it's environment. However, he's a straight up wizard and I see that now. The text overlaying on the ground and keeps it's shape despite the camera rotating is insane to me

As far as I remember you can find Priscilla's body right after defeating Sister Friede. It's above the bonfire that teleports you to The Dreg Heap. The body has identical fur, tail and snake skin.

There's also the Crow from Dark Souls, Andre the Blacksmith & Patches, The final boss of DS3 breaking out Gwyn's theme and fighting style in his second form, the Giant Archer, Siegward being most likely Siegmier reincarnated, Oceiros being very similar to Seith, Ornstein's armor next to the Nameless King, Aldrich chomping on Gwyndolin... There's a lot more references, easter eggs and simply lore implications that can be found, if you keep digging!

Aldrich uses Priscillas scythe sometimes during his boss fight, so she most likely was killed and eaten by him

on the topic, Aldrich literally using gwyndolin's body is an obvious thing missing from this video

I'm still in the camp that believes Priscilla is just Yorshka. She mentions Gwyndolin being her brother and that she changed her name if you join her covenant.

@@alfalldoot6715 no he is right priscilla is the mother of gwyndoline this is hinted by the scythe that aldritch use and the fact that aldritch when was eating gwyndoline he had saw priscilla with a baby gwyndoline and this explain his malformity because he is also part dragon and also give more reason to ban in the painting priscilla
