Dark Souls 3 Story ► Yhorm, the Lonely Ruler

[@Sbeve_One]

I think he succeeded in his own way by not ushering in the dark age cause let’s be real if he wanted to in his first attempt he could’ve just ended it all But even though he “failed” he still attempted to do what he precive to be the right thing so I feel like the second time around he still didn’t want to bring about the end times but he also knew linking the flame was bullshit so he just sat and waited for something

[@saturnascendz]

I think it's a possibility that if Siegward committed suicide, a fitting end would be poison in his toast to his friend. He takes a nap like always...thinking of his friend, duty fullfilled.....only he doesn't wake. His final toast.

[@janner2006]

Could also be him killing himself with the Storm Ruler. Ending his life with the same blade he used to end his friend's.

[@lero6576]

You toast with Siegward throughout the game, it's one of his trademarks. Just from a player's/writer's perspective, a final toast suicide makes the most sense in his storytelling.

Abyss Watchers: Are kind of busy murdering each other. Aldrich: Is doing his own thing devouring gods and seeking power to go to the deep. Yhorm: Linking the fire screwed up his kingdom the first time, why would he do that shit again? Lothric/Lorian: Actively do not want to link the fire, believing that the coming of the age of dark would be for the best. I like how the lords all have reasons of their own instead of relying solely on "because it reeeeeeeally hurts to be burnt alive"

[@rangopistacho6928]

Lothric and lorian are too weak to link the flame because of their curse

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

@@rangopistacho6928 No that's not the reason. Lothric was meant to, but unable to (likely). Lorian was more than capable, but chose instead to share his brother's curse. Even in their crippled state, they could absolutely do it (in fact, Boss VS Boss battle shows that the Twin Princes beat the Soul of Cinder). They simply chose not to. ''Mind you, the mantle of Lord interests me none. The Fire Linking Curse, the Legacy of Lords, let it all fade into nothing. You've done quite enough, now have your rest.'' - Lothric Though it is heavily implied that Sulyvahn and Kaathe influenced their choice, it is a willing process.

[@PawPawPandas]

Sorry for the necropost but the abyss watchers aren't just killing each other, they swore to destroy the abyss and now they themselves are tainted by the abyss. So they keep killing each other over and over, performing their duty even if it means killing their friends. Could've worded it better but maybe there's a video on it somewhere.

[@nolangrayson899]

Siegward was trying to delay the fact that he had to kill his old friend i.e Visiting the giant in the undead settlement, fighting the fire demon, going to the cathedral of the deep, getting trapped in a well without armour (even though it was yoinked by patches), making some soup and taking a nap in Irithyll, getting put in a cell in Irithyll dungeon, all this for his old friend to have more time to live before his end of the promise is held Siegward is one of the most kind hearted characters in Dark Souls history and this is one of the reasons why

[@irvancrocs1753]

I think it's because he still wanted to believe Yhorm would do his duty once again by linking the fire, but Yhorm just doesn't care anymore for smt that already burn his kingdom to the dust, all he wanted is just waiting for siegward to fulfill his promise..

I like to think that Seigward delays his duty on purpose. He gets caught in a trap. Sits to enjoy normalcy. He also visits the giant that shoots arrows at you. What did he say to him? or did he just get a branch. he wants to delay killing his old friend.

[@bogustoast22none25]

H I think he wanted to give him time, time to rethink and retry to relight the flame, time for him to evade upholding his promise, having hope that his friend would willingly go on to do his duty... That's the tragedy here, even when he saw his friend evading his duty, he still held onto hope that the Lord of Cinder he once called friend, would once again uphold his duty.

[@masterreaper115]

That and unlike so many other lords, his friend wasnt directly harming anyone. He wasnt slaughtering himself repeatedly, devouring a god in a tower, reviving his dead brother into servitude, he was sitting upon his old throne in a dead city.

Makes sense, the universe pretty much said... "I am bringing you back to life into an age of decay on the brink of the world as its known ending.

[@anarchy5partan662]

SuperKamiUltraMegaAlphaOmegaBiggerLongerUncut Guru That's my take on it as well. In his attempt to prove himself as a ruler, show they were wrong, he managed to only prove they were all right. No man, or in this case giant, would want to suffer the same fate twice.

[@plinkthenecrobird8851]

Anarchy 5partan Agreed. I honestly think Yhorm was the only inherently GOOD lord of Cinder.

[@handsomejack8797]

I think Aldrich was the only "bad" Lord of Cinder. Lothric wanted nothing to do with his destiny because it would mean his death, and he refused, with his brother Lorian protecting him. But his refusal resulted in them being cursed. The Abyss Watchers were in the same shoes as Artorias. But Aldrich just liked to eat people.

[@calebbrothers3711]

Yhorm is my favorite boss in dark souls. I wish they made it to where you could save him and he aided you in your final battle against the soul of cinder. Also his story is extremely sad. He probably fought for those people harder than anyone before and they still treated him poorly. He deserved more.

[@Karanagi]

Watching these videos, it just struck me that dark souls is one of the few games that embraces tragedy. Not just as part of the quest of some hero, but as the status quo of outcomes. Everything ends in misery and it's not clear whether anything really can be done 'better'. Somehow, that makes Siegward's quest even more profound to me.

[@Hesloth_the_indolent]

Karanagi tbh its one of the reasons I could not bring myself to finish ng+ and higher. I grew more depressed the deeper I got into the lore.

[@Karanagi]

I've always been intrigued by tragedy myself. Always interesting to hear how different people experience things differently :)

[@ramblingsofruethus6474]

That was definitely one of the big reasons I love the games' tone and story. I'm honestly tired of games where you fix everything by the end of the game, because a) that feels cheap and unrealistic to me and b) I feel no need to replay the game to manipulate outcomes, since everything turned out okay. Dark Souls, on the other hand, was the first game in a while (since Chrono Trigger, in fact) to make me truly think about how to arrange the best possible ending for the game, and I realized that hey, you can't give everybody a fairy tale ending. Siegmeyer's "happiest" ending for him was honestly the best outcome I could arrange for any of my fellow wanderers of Lordran while still helping them quest for their goals, and by giving him that "happy" ending, I was able to give Sieglinde a happier ending than she would have obtained otherwise. Heck, the games don't even do what most horror games and movies do, where you can at least return things close to the "normal" they were before things went down. tl:dr: I like that Dark Souls doesn't let you give everyone (or really anyone) a fairy-tale ending, adding to the dark and depressing tone that makes the series so iconic.

[@Hesloth_the_indolent]

Dark Souls for me ended up being that extravagant cake laced with slight amounts of cyanide. It was one of the best things you have ever tasted(played) but with each successive bite(play through) you bring yourself closer to death(depression). But all said and done, I would have it no other way for that is why from the multitude of games I have played, I still remember Dark Souls.

[@DarkLightGaming117]

Dark Souls has always felt like a world you enter after all the REALLY bad stuff has happened and all your doing is trying to figure out exactly what all that bad was. And realizing you can't do anything about it. Your a part of the world, not a hero of this world. Your nothing special and nothing you can do will fix it. Which is much more interesting in my opinion then the other games you talk about where it seems you DO fix everything and your the "chosen" one.

[@rustedcrabtm6438]

I have a theory that the one yhorm wished to protect, was siegward. siegward Is ash, and we know that means he tried to link the fire at some point, we also know the fire started fading somewhat before yhorm started using only his blade, considering the fact that it seems like not much time passed between yhorm getting rid of his shield, and him becoming a lord of cinder. My theory is that siegward tryed linking the fire, but failed and died. This then made yhorm toss away his shield and ad a notch to the opposite end of his blade so it could easily be used with two hands. We also know that ash can keep there weapons on their revival, so siegward could still have the stormruller that yhorm gave him. And when you and him defeat yhorm his mission is complete. With yhorm defeated, his cinders returned to his throne, and with you going to link the fire, siegward ends his life using the stormruller, the same blade he used to kill his friend. Knowing that his goals were completed, and his promise was fulfilled. maybe in death, siegward could meet his old friend again. Also, @SushiJaguar made a comment about this as well, I just thought I could add a bit more to it. Also credit to @[Ecchi] for the idea that siegward used the stormruller to kill himself.

[@m0her_2]

Hey ! Just passing, I know you posted this a while ago, sonI don’t expect an answer, but who could be able to predict the future, right ? So, I really like the theory that Yhorm’s loss is the death of Siegward, but it also raise a problem. Vaati presents the events in this order: Yhorm loses his famous unknown but precious person ; the profaned flame appears, and he throws of his shield ; he then decides to link the fire, and before that he gives a Stormruler to Siegward and asks for his word to kill him if he fails. Presented this way, Siegward has to be alive after his friend’s loss. The only possibility for Siegward to being Yhorm’s loss is that Yhorm gives the sword to his friend’s body, and asks for his word upon his tomb, without truly knowing if Siegward will fullfill hiw duty (but he could have felt that his friend was a knight of honor, being able to keep his word even in afterlife). That’s my explanation, to anyone who passes by, feel free to answer and corrects me, i would be thanksfully grateful. P. S. : I am just asking for compassion for my possible mistakes, english isn’t my first language.

And he had no desire to do that, especially if it meant risking hurting someone as valorous and as kind as you, whom without your help, his duty would remain unfulfilled.

[@OfficialHelix]

I like to think that Siegward, after keeping his promise to Yhorm, he sits down, has a nice final moment with a friend, and then he just peacefully passes, knowing his duty is fulfilled and he has nothing left to concern himself with. I just want my boy to have a happy ish ending.

[@kenjisxsad5404]

The way I like to think of it is that he knew his time was almost up so after receiving that news he then found us and was aware of our quest. He felt that he was unable to uphold his old friend’s promise alone so turned to us for his support. Not only did he want to help somebody on his journey to the Profaned Capital he also wanted friendship, somebody to laugh and have fun with much like those he knew back in Catarina. He died happily with the promise of his old friend being fulfilled and by the side of a friend he found along the way.

[@GeneralDurandal]

When I got there, after the fight, I went up to the throne and read the message, "Only a Storm can fell a greatwood." upon reading it onion bro died. Which added an extra tinge of emotion. His death must be triggered by distance away from him, and not just leaving the room.

[@rocketfish6021]

After fighting him countless times, I paid attention once to his animations, particularly when you hit him with the storm ruler. He seems to shake his head, almost like he realizes what he is doing, but cant stop. This may just be him shaking off the shock from the blast of storm ruler, but I thought it was worth pointing out. It also seems as though Yhorm is smiling in the cutscene with siegward.

[@VaatiVidya]

If you've finished watching the video, i'd love to direct your attention to this thread by /u/mythanksdotgif, who pointed out that: a) Before he "kills himself", Siegward doesn't sleep/snore at the end of his dialogue, like he usually does. b) Instead of saying "our sworn duty" as he usually does, he wishes you luck on "your duty". These two little points help flesh out the conclusion that we both drew - which was that he must end his life after fulfilling his duty. I think that in a way, death or absolute hollowing might be a relief to many characters who succeed in their goals before "passing". I wish I had seen this earlier! It would have made a nice addition to that scene in the video.

[@gunnarsoderhielm3425]

I think that what happened when Yhorm linked the fire isn't normal because of the way it is described in more detail then other linkings. The best explanition for it to happen is in my opnion the fact that he is a giant and probably also has larger soul wich might have made the flame overflow and consume the people Yhorm had ruled over.

I personally think Siegward is the one Yhorm lost, whose passing caused him to cast away his shield. After all, Siegward is an Ashen One, no? And like the Lords of Cinder, the Ashen Ones are risen from their graves by the tolling of the Firelink Bell, right? And we're never really told /when/ Siegward had Storm Ruler bequeathed to him by Yhorm, nor /when/ they were such firm friends.

[@rangopistacho6928]

It was so iconic seeing the ashen one and siegward walking into the battlefield, both with a duty yet siegward regards yhorm as an old friend, I wonder how the ashen on feels, sadness, happiness, regret, does he feel the same pull, or does he focus on the task at hand

The reason why I love watching your video is because it explains the well written stories of the dark soul games that so many of us miss because we’re so focus on leveling up and defeating all these hard bosses that we don’t bother paying attention to the amazing story line the game tells.

[@EvilExcalibur]

The moroseness in Siegward's voice at the beginning of the fight is what kills me. A man so cheerful. So optimistic. So painfully joyous throughout the entire adventure. And here he is, grasping desperately for one last thread of courage, that he may carry out his duty. Just depressing, but easily the best story in DS3 as far as my opinions are concerned

[@Nitrinoxus]

Interesting theory on Wolnir, I hadn't considered that possibility for his pre-game history. Had another one for your consideration, if you decide to do a whole video on Wolnir or the Catacombs of Carthus. It struck me as I was discussing the Crowns Trilogy DLC for DS2 with a fellow Souls mate of mine -- I was wondering why the Bearer of the Curse, both immortal from being Undead and eternal from his immunity to Hollowing, wouldn't be a more prominent figure in the history of DS3. Then it hit me: there *is* someone who harnessed Dark, who took the crowns of rightful lords, and who persisted even after death, senses intact, staving off a fate that threatened to consume him. Someone like the Bearer *could* stake a claim to lordship with his power, *could* conquer kingdoms as the Fire faded, *could* establish himself as a powerful figure even before Lothric rose from the ashes of Drangleic's era. If the Bearer is *anywhere* in Lothric... doesn't it kind of make sense that he'd be High Lord?

[@haltorn2611]

Good theory , even the description of the crown of Wolnir hints that , with: "Once upon a time , such things were bequeathed judiciously to each of the rightful lords , until Wolnir brought them to their knees, and ground their crowns to dust. Then the crowns became one..." which reminds me like a LOT the trilogy of the crowns of Dark Souls 2. The only problem here is the size of Wolnir , which in fact is not a problem cause in dark souls size can mean how powerful a being is (Gods in Anor Londo , Vendrick etc...) And other problem the fact that Wolnir is somehow linked to the Abyss Sorry for the faults , English is not my native language :D

[@Nitrinoxus]

No worries about any faults. I took the size into consideration, yeah -- size seems more an indication of strength than anything, since even the human king Vendrick was enormous. And someone who'd seized the Crowns of Want and the four Great Souls (seeking strength, as Vendrick advised) could, by that same rule, tower over even the giants. (Of course, this assumes the skull used to make the goblet wasn't Wolnir's, in which case he'd definitely be human.) And as for the Abyss, it's been observed before that the Abyss and the Dark are intertwined to some extent, with some positing that their relationship is akin to that between Chaos and Fire -- the pitch-black void threatening to swallow Wolnir whole may have arisen originally from the Darkness of his own soul, perhaps a byproduct of countless centuries of gaining strength. Nobody really knows what would happen to a human under those circumstances, and if they can even maintain control over the Dark they harbor... or if it inevitably engulfs them.

[@Nitrinoxus]

That's always been the trouble with DS2 -- it's so loosely connected to the rest of the canon that one could argue that Drangleic isn't even in the same world as Lordran, and write it off as non-canon, as many frequently have. Now that we can see the entire series, though, it's easier to look at it and say, "Okay, let's assume that DS2 *is* canon -- how does it influence things elsewhere, and where are its major figures?" And the connections aren't just limited to speculation about Wolnir, either. There's two high-ranking soldiers in upper Irithyll, past the Pontiff's chamber, that appear to have come from Drangleic -- if the King of Drangleic wanted to conquer Lothric piece by piece, cutting off the head of the Pontiff and seizing Anor Londo would be a strong place to start (and if I'm right about Wolnir, then his presence at the other side of the city could mean he was leading the charge, and the two are reinforcements). Additionally, there's an iron-clad knight in the Smouldering Ruins, apparently pinned between the local wildlife, a pool of lava and one of Gwyn's old soldiers, who's wielding a blade last used by one of Drangleic's two greatest swordsmen -- if Tsorig was acting on similar orders, and not just wrecking things up for his own gain, then it could amount to a pincer attack on the keep at Farron from below, striking both from the ruins below and the city beyond (this one's slightly more of a stretch, I'll admit -- Tsorig's more likely a mercenary knight who killed the sword's previous owner, hence the epithet Knight Slayer).

[@accept8988]

Yeah I personally never understood that insistence in trying to make DS 2 non-canon. Wolnir being the one that conquered all the crowns un DS 2 is great idea, I like it. Also it seems very strange that such a powerful being like him was not tempted to link the fire. I think he fell to the abyss way before Pontiff, The Undead Legion... He wasn't even bothered in killing the Demon King at that point.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Stop and think about it for a moment, though -- in the entirety of DS2, was the Bearer *ever* spoken to by name? In fact, has *any* Soulsborne protagonist been explicitly named?

[@TheEmotionalGuy]

I've really missed out by not having seen all your lore videos. But that means there is much jubilant enjoyment to be had. Beautiful video and storytelling

[@jsb1169]

Have you ever considered that Yhorm is the descendant of the Giant Lord in DS2? The Giant Lord being the conqueror that suddenly left, and the "oracle" being Nashandra before she came to Drangleic. That would explain the abyss in the profaned flame. As far as imagery goes, we see the humans on the bottom of Yhorm's throne similarly to the golems near the Throne of Want. Alternatively, could Eleum Loyce be the Profaned Capital? The oracle being Alsanna (a shard of Manus), and the Profaned Flame being a tainted Old Chaos? That would explain to me why the surface, Irythill, is completely frozen. If this is true, what implications does this have for demons who still survive off of the flame of the old chaos? Do any demons still survive off the old chaos? Lastly, Spook meme give me a like pls

[@vetbet24]

I realize this is late, but I've been thinking about the demons. There origins, their history, and the effect that they and the chaos flame had on the world of Dark Souls. If you think about it, makes sense that by DS3 demonkind is dying out. They were not really supposed to exist, given birth by the Witch of Izalith's failed attempt to go against nature. The demons were at their strongest in Dark souls, lost power and numbers by Dark Souls 2, the only real possible demon we see is the smelter demon and demon of song, and are on the brink of extinction in Dark Souls 3. So it makes sense that in the upcoming dlc, the demons would make one final appearance......one final attempt to save their very existence as a race.
