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

[@starviper1813]

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

[@artisbot1122]

@@theramofbabylon3313 I’m pretty sure Vaati’s videos are meant to give insight, tell the story from a new POV, and give perspective and angle to the lore. I don’t believe his intentions are to explain what the lore necessarily is since the games’ worlds are so open ended and riddled with clues for the purpose of forming different conclusions.

[@Dankumemes]

@@theramofbabylon3313 isnt that what dark souls lore is? just speculation on what everything is. also he does provided sources, are you serious? he puts in the item description in his videos and interprets what he believes it means.

[@Dankumemes]

@@theramofbabylon3313 read my comment again. i clearly stated that it was vaati's speculations and that he uses item descriptions to back up his speculations. i never said anything about it being actual lore created by the devs

[@Dankumemes]

@@theramofbabylon3313 vaati is like a historian, looking a small clues of the past to get close to the story as possible. The lore can be whatever we want it to be. The devs made it open ended for that purpose

[@Dankumemes]

@@theramofbabylon3313 the item descriptions give whole shit ton to go on. The abyss walkers set for example says that they go after the abyss wherever it rises and then high lord wolnir crown and sword said that he dabbled with abyss magic. So it is safe to say that the abyss walkers attacked Carthus and turned it to ruin. That's what the item descriptions are for. Everything gives bits here and there, but are connected in some way. It is up to us to put the pieces together.

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.

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.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

@@BlackKaiserDrake Yeah, up at this point in the game, Hostile NPC's became easy for me. But then, I tended to use very large weapons like the Lothric Knight Greatsword that just seem to cut right through their defenses. Havel was the only one that gave me genuine trouble.

The Untended Graves seems to be your world's past, hence Iudex Gundyr not having a soul since you already took it in his past, leaving an empty shell inhabited by a pus of man. If you somehow never talk to the Handmaid but talk to the one in Untended Graves before talking to yours for the first time, she acts like you look familiar. Even if the fire isn't linked and things sink into darkness, it's fated to repeat in a cycle.

[@L0rdLexan01]

So a lot of the time, there are "Strong Independent female characters" for diversity points, usually to appease the more left-oriented audience. The joke here, is that Shezmen was about to make one of those jokes when Samus, the ORIGINAL strong independent female character, comes in, shoots the hell out of Friede, and tells Shezmen to suck her off as an indicator she is tired of that dumbass diversity-points acquiring joke. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

Doubt you'll see this, but holy Hell you outdid yourself this time. That was phenomenal! I loved every second of this. I've been excited for this for so long, and seeing all the sneak peaks on Patreon was awesome! (and seeing my name in the video lol) You should definitely take a well deserved rest after this one. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, for our entertainment.

[@Shezmen88]

thank you SO much dude! :) Never doubt that i will read an awesome comment like this one. ;)

[@spenceranonodium711]

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

[@KishibeRohan]

I always knew Vaati was Velka in secret

[@hmmmooops]

The Ashen Hollow is talks too much of Velka to actually be Velka. Vaati is way more suspicious.

[@beclet]

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!! ❤️

[@Shezmen88]

beclet Beclet, thank you very much for all the compliments. That's high praise. And I wish you good luck with your animations. It's a jungle in here on KZbin for people like us but we have to walk tall.

Its simply the best! And he put in Holy Diver!! All those details!! Sister Frieda part is 🤯🤯 You sir, has done something very unique and just beautiful.. i can really feel the love you have put in in this one!

[@AMetalWorld]

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
