I have another discovery. If you go to fight the Abyss Watchers with no phantoms with you, and the first thing you do when you get in is the Legion Etiquette emote, the boss will intentionally miss you. I even got it to a point where i was spamming the emote and the main boss kept circling me and twitching towards me, as if he kept canceling his actions.

[@Un1234l]

I have got to try this out.

[@Azaracus]

I would have to go do it again to record it. I just thought that since they do the emote in the cutscene, I wonder if something special would happen if I did it, and low and behold something did.

Even if the accurate translation is true, Kaathe hasn't exactly been the most honest serpent, and might just have feigned death to become a martyr and manipulate his followers

[@ldmt1995]

1:01 and the gesture "collapse" is the same as the one that appears in the dark souls 2 announcement trailer when the warrior is covered in arrows.

I never realy thought about it, but now, watching your video again, it seems like Ludleth was a highborn child tossed into the flame by others, to link it, in a desperate age, where people took desperate measures. And I think that the fact he seems proud of his linking of the flame just reflects a "wanna be though" attitude, like, well, a child would've react to a trauma like this. Don't you think?

[@wanderingbufoon]

didnt he gather a massive soul with his studies and that caused him to be a lord of cinder? also im still curious about his missing legs.

[@rcticfloof]

+wanderingbufoon he ate a massive amount of souls or something

[@jupiterscock0]

I might be wrong, but if he linked the flame as a child, I don't think his body would age. He should still be portrayed as a boy.

[@niborex133]

The Arctic Fox wasn’t that Aldrich?

[@stpirate89]

I saw a lore video saying that he chopped off his own legs? He hated the pain that being a lord of Cinder gave him, but he saw it as such an important task, he cut his own legs off so that he couldn't run away from doing it. That's why he's there when all the other lord's have buggered off.

[@hellehundt1]

I really like the tale of Gilligan you can tell from the prison based on where all the ladders are. Clearly he had his hands on the window key that was supposed to troll prisoners. His ladders let him escape the wardens, sneak by the giant, and explore the city below. Inevitably he found no route to freedom from the capitol and quite literally took the Long Nap. Of course, without his ladders we would have never made it through to the giant king. Gilligan: the true hero of Dark Souls.

[@ArtekGeneral]

That's amazing. How did i never noticed this?! All those fuckin' ladders! Gilligan, you greedy son-of-a-bitch...

One thing that I found out today that you might find interesting Vata, I remember you talking about the firekeepers reaction to "look away" when you wear the untrue rings. Today I was going through her reactions to emotes and she also looks away when you use the collapse emote. This could tie into several things including her not wanting to see you fall into hollowing and being discouraged. Food for thought

Number 1 really blew my mind. So many hours and i never saw it... Itching for the next Miyazaki game.

[@hydrapower9850]

Oh, THAT'S why I didn't end up seeing Havel's set the first time around! For some coincidental reason I went back to where I had killed the Stray Demon many many hours prior, and there was Havel's set just sitting there! I was like, "how in the heck did I miss this the first time?!?!?" It's because it doesn't spawn until after you kill Havel by the stone dragon (which I had done, but no idea that it was the trigger). Now I know I wasn't just inattentive. :P

I just started playing dark souls and honestly I had no idea how good this game is and your videos are awesome they have helped me a lot keep up the awesome work and thank you

[@PlagueOfGripes]

That Kaathe bit would be really irritating, as the whole concept behind the Fire and the serpents is the one big unaddressed issue in the lore, and across two games they've never even brought it up. It's probably the only thing I'll be looking for in the DLC, as I don't really care what king banished what knight during year 5426 of era 16, or whatever. Just writing the serpents out in favor of more dry historical fluff would be a real disservice to the series.

[@globox123456789]

Yeah, really hope the second DLC sheds some light on that. But this is Dark Souls so they might leave it unaddressed, after all...

[@cohortcorbett2629]

I'm equally afraid of an answer in regards to the serpents as I am never getting one.

[@Solid_Seth]

You did your best to try and make sense of it in your LP I feel, but I agree. If this is going to be the last game then that needs to be addressed.

[@evanskinner4231]

+Templar Knight after all, he's not an old, withering serpent.

[@PolarPhantom]

It won't be addressed because Dark Souls. Probably. Or it'll come up and answer 3 questions and raise 500 more.

[@fang4223]

So, here's my theory on ludaleth's nightmares. If you've been paying attention to the world in DS3, you will notice three things are prominent. One is the cliffs leading off into grey nothingness. I dare call them crags. *grey crags*, as it were. Second is the flora. Specifically the trees. Comparing areas like darkroot and the forest of fallen Giants to areas like farron keep, the number of abnormally large trees, *archtrees*, if you will, are much much more numerous then ever before. And third though certainly not least, dragons are returning as prominent figures. Aside from the five major ones, it is implied (and validated thanks to the two guarding the main gate of Lothric castle) that there are a large number of dragons bound to Lothric. Even in archdragon peak we see plenty simply living there as if it's the most normal thing in the world. (There was also DS2 but I feel like that was sort of the first hint that times are changing.) So let's recap for a second. Dragons are starting to truly establish themselves in the world, a world filled with grey crags and archtrees. The world is largely, you could say, becoming more and more unformed. What's the difference, then, between now and the beginning of the first game? The first flame. My theory is this: The world is literally burned out. It has been trying to reset itself assumedly through the age of dark. It is also safe to assume its part of the healing and refueling process, however man continues to link the flame, drawing out the struggle. I imagine it's fair to guess that the cycle of linking the fire has gotten shorter and shorter between the first game and now, to the point where it's akin to someone just throwing matches into a pile of cinder. I think this is the answer behind things such as ludaleth's nightmares and the darksign in the sky. The world is trying to say stop. NB4 how could a glorified hunk of rock give nightmares in a word filled with magic?

[@falloutghoul1]

It seems to have credence to the following quote from Lothric's cinders: "Suffice it to say, the path to linking the fire is a cursed one indeed."

[@fang4223]

I compleatly forgot about that.

[@android19willpwn]

pretty sure we mostly just see drakes in DS3

[@fang4223]

Android 19 Maybe. Who knows. I find it hard to belive that stormruler, the ancient dragon and the two guarding lothric castle are anything less then dragons though. of course this is all opinion. all of dark souls lore thats not explicitly stated is.

[@android19willpwn]

Well, the King of Storms was explicitly stated to be a storm DRAKE, which was used in the fight against the dragons. Also all dragons that we've seen which are actually stated to be dragons have had four legs in addition to wings (thought he number of wings does change). All drakes have had two, in addition to some number of wings. The drakes in Lothric castle only have two legs, and thus are drakes. The ancient dragon (I assume the one from DS2) is a dragon. Well, it's supposed to be. Prevailing theory is that it was made using a giant's soul and dragon bones, seeing as that's what it drops and it's referred to as being fake by some NPCs.

[@KadeValentine]

+Sai Suhas Vemuri yep , the bonfire easter egg in the new map

[@Vanlens]

+Daniel Kennedy They could be referring to anything. "Working as intended" isn't a Dark Souls-exclusive line.

[@AsDeft]

No, it is not related to Dark Souls at all. Working as intended is a very old meme.

[@AsDeft]

***** Eichenwalde _just_ came out and Torb has had that line for almost a year now; much before Dark Souls 3 was released. There just actually is not any possibility it is reference to Dark Souls and especially not Dark Souls 3 like you are suggesting.

That dancer sound clip is gonna be everywhere in my nightmares tonight. Thanks! 😆

[@IamGilgamesh666]

Thanks for the video! Those npc endings were particularly interesting. On the calamity ring: I always thought that was the devs poking fun at players who do crazy difficult playthroughs of the game, like Lobos or your man who completed the game without taking a hit. It's there for streamers and the like.

[@zackarystephenson9251]

12 is partly a reference to Demon's souls, where you get one of two blades depending on the ending you pick, and they can be combined when you get both.

[@Jormyyy]

that kalameet thumbnail art is to die for

[@Oppurtunafish]

Haha. Love the final scene. I didn't know any of these except the laddersmith Gilligan one, this video was pretty eye opening for me!

[@rezaxxx]

Soooo many secrets :D I just started playing this game so i will revisit your videos later. thanks for sharing them.

[@Brackynews]

At launch when I found the whole room was flammable (way before I knew Dancer existed) it was quite a treat. Definitely foreshadowed something bad happening in the room.

So I NEVER sit and watch videos that are as long as yours but you are amazing. Like for real. I love your videos. They're great man. Keep it up. You're the reason I bought Ds3

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

very good vid, Vaati. ty again for these, these games are so interesting. and lets be honest, i could listen to ur dulcet tones all day

I feel you bro.

some interesting stuff, especially that ludleth dialogue!! it always seemed linking the fire was a somewhat painless action

[@jaded_dreiko4225]

lattersmith gilagin also sold a later in majula so that the player could access the grave of saints and the gutter.. I thought that was pretty useful.

[@aresdotexe]

... That's exactly what he was talking about. But you can just jump down there anyway. you don't need the ladders.

[@littledramaboy]

He sold the dude a latte. Dude doesn't know what he's saying, he's high on decaf.

[@HM4Hill]

I'm not sure if this was present in other games, but all the weapons seem to be on the verge of breaking. Even one as ornate as Ornsteins spear is cracked and worn. Just thought that was interesting

[@HM4Hill]

That explains why the dank sword looks so worn out....

[@HM4Hill]

I know what I said

[@HM4Hill]

yes it is

[@HM4Hill]

it was a joke cuz its overused in pvp....

[@sparkleseverywhere]

most of the weapons are indeed aged/corrupted/worn

[@sega62s]

Vaati you are a King on your own, thx for these awesome videos

You said that Yuria implied Kaathe was dead. Well, english is not my native language, but I could swear I heard the guy in the DLC trailer say: "at last, the ashes of Kaathe!" It would make sense for me that he (the guy), as a servant of a "lady" of the painted world, would need to aquire/retrieve the ashes of Kaathe for some purpose. I say that because I have this theory, that Londor IS the painted world. I mean, what better place to build a kingdom of hollows based on a faith around Velka? It would explain why it's "restored" and not in ruins in the trailer. And also, the game says that the three sisters found the Sable Church, not stumble upon it, implying that they were looking for it. Think about it, it's Dark Souls, nothing is meaningless, so why would they not include the building that the painting is in, in Anor Londo (on DS3)?

For me, it's likely that Aldrich or the Pointiff destroyed the building and hid the painting, but the three sisters found it and organized a force against the gods with those exiled by them. And Velka is probably who they follow, alongside with Kaathe, to bring a true age of dark and put an end to this linking of the flame business. Not by leting it fade alone, for DS2 proved that isn't permanent, but by usurping it, keeping it safe and away from the world, so dark can descend and the age of mankind can finaly begin.

Also, if this theory holds, it makes sense for the people of Londor to want to collect the god's souls in the lord vessel, destroying them (like probably shown in the trailer). To end this long coment, one last piece of speculation, if the sisters are, in fact, seeking and killing the lords/gods, the fire keeper must be the third mysterious one, sending you after all of them, much like Yuria. Remember, in the opening cinematic of DS3, we caught her just putting that crown, with a freaking dark sign, on her eyes and assuming the role of firekeeper. Who do you think killed all those fire keepers, dead in the shrine? She's an impostor!

And that ending where you betray her, could mean you discovered the truth. One could especulate further about you, again, being manipuladed by a lady of a dark land, but THAT would be purely especulative. Anyway, hope you read this little theory of mine and liked. I love yours! Keep up the good work, you complete my already great Soulsborne experience. :)

[@catStone92]

found doesn't mean to find in this case, it means they started the sable church they were the founders of the sable church (not the finders)

[@geoffreymullen3527]

It's the wording. The sable church wasn't "found" by the three sisters. It was "founded" by them.

[@ThePadfam]

The Deacons actually say something not just random noises it says something like "It's going to be an eternal ..." I can't make out anything past that can anyone else?

before yhorm is dead, you'll get invaded by Alva on the staircase to the irithyll dungeon bonfire, after you kill alva, you'll find the set on a body in the room with the all those jailers (where Karla also is)

[@GamingWithBlacky]

Lol, I just randomly found out that when you appear at the Undead Settlement Bonfire and kill those dogs before they can be released on the Undead outside the gate, that those very same undead will not harm you. It's nothing spectacular, but I find it somewhat interesting that for some reason those select few trying to get into the settlement, do not wish to harm you on sight.

[@danieltrujillo5873]

Those reverse clips are so interesting. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@Vindicator12Music]

forgive me if i'm a bit off or vague on the details, haven't played it in a while. but also remember that deacon you can join a covenant with down in the water reserves with those 2 huge beast things. could that be where they all drowned?

[@hagerio]

Vindicator 12 Music Yes they clearly could have been drowned here or they could practice some form of ritual drowing of new members. Maybe like a disturbing version of the christian baptism.
