A buddy of mine passed before he could play dark souls 2 or 3. We started the game together and I finally finished dark souls 3 and all dlc. And its bittersweet, he was my solaire , when he passed I felt a burning need to finish the series for him, my brother in arms, my bonfire forged hollow, you are free, we did it. Rest easy Rodney. The last bonfire has been lit, and it calls you home. Edit: I come back to this song often as a way to cope and feel a bit closer to Rodney as it’s been years since I’ve seen his face, can barely remember his laugh tbh. To all of you who come here as if it’s a bonfire that we are all beckoned too, I’m glad you haven’t quit or gone hollow, and may the sun shine on you warmly Thank you pruld, for seeing the beauty in all of our despair and forming it into a video.

[@DemonKingCozar]

This makes me think of the time in Dark souls 3, i invaded the faraam swamp and kept getting the same guy, I killed him once and he got me once. We built this mutual respect for each other and by the time he got to the second part of faraam swamp, I invaded him and saw that he was really struggling. So i dropped a seed of a giant (it makes the host world enemies hostile to you) and played the entire level with him. Showing him nearly every item i could and we killed every enemy. When he got low on health, i dropped him embers and divine blessings and also some of my soul items. When we got to the fog wall where i couldn't pass, I praised the sun and left the host's world. I sometimes wonder if that made his day becuase it made mine.

[@pietrobruno3367]

I remember when I played Dark Souls for the first time: it was 2017 and my mum gave me it for my 11th birthday. I fell in love with that masterpiece, I still remember the afternoons spent playing, the rage while I was trying to beat the Taurus Demon, the Gargoyles and Ornstein & Smough, and all the bad words that I said about it. In 2017 and 2018 I used to live with my mother and my sister in the second floor of my grandparents house, after my parents' divorce. I remember that I was sad, and I used to cry often. But now I remember with extreme nostalgia the little traditions, like the afternoons spent playing Dark Souls, Black Ops 2 and Doom or when I used to spend every Friday afternoon by my other grandparents house. Then things started getting better, until we moved into a new house and my mum's boyfriend moved with us; firstly I didn't accept it, but now I'm ok with this. During 2019 things got better, except for when I got run over by a car (but I spent an entire week playing Black Ops 2 and watching movies, and all my classmates wrote me together a mail where they wished me to get better, I still have that mail in my room) and, most important, I started to play Dark Souls 3. Then 2020 arrived, the lockdown, the desperation, I felt very sad, I started to go to high school, but I spent most of the year with home schooling, and I knew better my new classmates only the next year, but I enjoyed the last months of 2020. I also enjoyed 2021, but I fuckin hated 2022, with the pandemic, the war and the anxiety derived from them. In May of 2022 one day I was studying with one classmate of mine, when he told me: "That is one of your CDs, isn't it?" I looked at the CD on the floor with fear saying "Please don't be that CD", and it was Dark Souls: my dog had eaten it. I think that it was the last piece of my nostalgic past, and it flew away. Today it's 2023, and I really hope that this year will be better than the last three years, but I don't think that it will be, the past can't come back. I feel very nostalgic for that period, for the friendships that I had, like one girl with which I used to talk about animes: today she's still a friend of mine, but I miss the relationship that I had with her. In the last year I fell in love with a classmate of mine, but she refused me; now I'm in love with another girl, and someday I will tell her about it, I love her so much. Yesterday I was at my grandparents' home, I was helping my grandpa to move an armchair to the second floor, when we entered in my old house: I haven' t been entering in there for almost 4 years, firstly I didn't recognized it, but then I started remembering all, and something in myself relented. Today I was alone at home, I started watching this beautiful video, and I broke into tears: I started thinking about my past and present life. I was happier earlier, I hated the last two Christmas, because I had to study for all the fucking test, and today I still can't listen to a song that I used to listen to in the past, or watch a video that I used to watch in the past without crying. But, in the last year, I also had a lot of good things: my mum and her boyfriend got married, I met my dad's girlfriend, my sister started playing volleyball and playing matches, I met a lot of beautiful people, and I have the best classmates and teachers that I ever had, the best in the world. And now, as this song says, i hope that "this is not the end of me, this is the beginning". Sorry for the awful english, but it isn't my favourite subject (LOL), and, above all, sorry for this fucking big comment (LMAO), but I've been finally able to vent my emotions. I love you all. EDIT some months later She also refused me, and I still love her, but I hold on, as this beautiful song says. It's very strange: before her I fell in love with other girls, but none of their "we're only friends" hurted me like this (if you're reading this comment, I want you to know that I'm not angry with you, you don't have any fault), I love her so much. And, I know that it's a stupid thing to say, but I don't know if I will be able to love anymore. In these months some things got worse (my anxiety grew, and even a bit of sadness and apathy), but many other things got even better (I have new friends and I made a lot of new experiences). I hope that this new school year will be better, and I wish all of you an happy life!

"Video games teach kids violence" A video game as dark, depressing, and challenging as they come has brought all of us together in getting hit straight in the feels in such an awesome way. This game has brought out many emotions, not all good emotions (I raged my fair share!), yet how rare is it such a feel good, wholesome video can be created and unite us all in all of our separate journeys so well?

Perfect narrative 00:07 Opening: The hero has a premonition of evil that plagues the world. The fear of being hollow, without hope or will to continue fighting and that terrifies him. 00:41 Presentation (part 1). The images inspire the wishes, wills and objectives of the characters, but generally they will not succeed. 01:02 The theme is established: Hold on. Oscar gives us the Estus. You just can't. With the help of your friends yes. 01:09 Presentation (part 2): The images inspire the wishes, wills and objectives of the characters, but generally they will not succeed because because they decide to fight alone for their obsessions. 01:53 Catalyst: the hero's first death and feel the curse of the undead. Our hero will never have an end unless he goes crazy and that pushes him into a new world. Dying over and over in the same place over and over will drive you crazy, but there seems to be no other option 02:03 Call to action: our hero decides to accept the hard blow of the curse. He leaves his comfort zone to continue fighting head on and adapts to the circumstances that overcome him. Music perfectly reflects fun and progress. Our hero progresses interacting with the other souls that populate the world in search of learning to adapt to obstacles. Lautrec helps him, Frampt guides him, Laurentius teaches him pyromancy, Domhnall equips us, André de Astora teaches us how to improve weapons and Solaire is always there to support us. 03:07 Midpoint: The stories advance and everything points to the personal victories of all the characters. But it is a false victory. Characters have too many obsessions that will lead to destruction. Lautrec's obsessive love, Solaire's obsessive search ... 03:16 All is Lost: our hero seems to be prospering at last but, he also falls into his obstinacy and then ... PAM! lives the worst defeat at the hands of Ornstein and Smough. Everything seems insufficient. 03:25 Dark night of the soul: our hero is worse than before starting his adventure. Nothing, absolutely nothing that he has done has served. He does not stop dying against Orstein and Smough. He doesn't seem to have learned anything. 03:33 Aha! So ... suddenly he is rewarded for his friends. Friends from different worlds, or even strangers in the same situation, send him signals for help with their white saponitas. The theme of friendship is reinforced. Sure! What Oscar and Solaire taught us. Why do I have to face everything alone? we let ourselves be helped by Siegmeyer, we forgive Lautrec, we recognize Kirk as a respectable rival and not as an enemy ... 04:23 Climax. The narrator tells us the lesson while we let ourselves be helped by Siegmeyer, we thank Solaire... 05:05 End: and at the end of the road. All those souls that we have acquired with the help of our friends, we return to the world to light the flame once again. Even if that costs us our own lives. We break the curse. We avoid madness. We return what was received to the world. We can finally die in peace. Praise the sun \[T]/

The same fire that kindled that passion inside us has burned us down. And there were no more signs left. We've left our beloved world as the Gods left their Anor Londo.

You know, i just realized how lonely i've been my entire life, i had to go through this journey on my own, I couldn't afford the stupid ps+ thing when I discovered dark souls I carried the torch alone, though, I really don't feel sad, I completed an unforgiving adventure armed only with my straight sword, my shield, my skill and my wit, I really can't fathom the amount of times I died and, despite how hostile and lonely that world was, I never gave up, I didn't really had friends that like this type of games and I still don't so all I learned was because of trial and error, I never tried to cheese a boss because i believed that victory is only real when you struggle, i didn't think like that before this game, I played it on my own and became a better person thanks to it. This game made me realize just how strong I really am, how skilled I can become, how rewarding a true victory can be and how good it feels to finally overcome a challenge, i just had to put my mind into it. The only sad thing is that after this game life became dull, no worthwhile challenges, no real lessons to be learned nothing ever gave me the feeling that I got from that first playthrough. Now here I am, hollowing on my own, a mind that could bring down Gods with sheer power of will and elbow grease is struggling to find a reason to exist, reduced almost to nothingness, stagnated, grasping a torch with what little strength is left while the flame's light gets dimmer and dimmer. I want to feel it once again, the burning passion, the electrifying intensity of the struggle, I want to be able to believe once again that there is no defeat, only setbacks and that patience and power of will could conquer gods. And now after rewatching this and reading the comments... *I think that this torch was not meant to be carried by myself alone, maybe I did things wrong all along* *is it too late to lift this curse, I wonder?*

best comment I've seen this year. I felt that. The great war we have left is the battle against boredom and mediocracy.

What use is the power to destroy gods and conquer your dreams, if you are alone in that. No matter how great the victory it seems hollow without companions to share it with. I don’t know, we are but lone warriors meeting on some random crossroad of life. But I do know, that is no greater joy in my life then being seen for who I am and being loved and accepted for it. For I am a great warrior fighting battles no one sees, slaying nightmares hidden from the waking world. As one warrior to another I wish a toast in you honor, friend. That you may find others on your journey to share in your battles and tend your bonfire. Praise the sun

Well said

To quote my favourite show, "gotta knock a little harder" but do not fear you are not alone. Be safe then, don't you dare go hollow my friend.

[@federicosavorani6320]

I felt exactly the same until a year ago, where I found the best friends of my life. Don't you dare go hollow until you tried at least a hinders more times

Vaati should add this to his "prepare to cry" series, because every time I watch it, I can't stop crying. Every. Time.

[@Defender98TV]

The thing is that I really needed to hear this. I'm currently jobless, no income, and couch surfing with family because my best friend had to kick me out to make room for their family. I have debt forced on me by family, and the only people in my family I feel I can trust now is my father and stepbrother which, considering the scope of my family, is very miniscule. This song has inspired me to keep going. These past few years have been tough. I have been betrayed by many, brutalized by once trusted people in my life, and sometimes I've even felt abandoned by society. These past few weeks I've even been hoping that when I fall asleep for the night, that I do not wake up. This song has given me hope that one day, things'll be alright. I just have to keep pushing. Thank you, ThePruld. Thank you for being there with your videos for so long. Since my teens year to now, in my 21st year of life. Thank you. ❤ EDIT: Minor grammar mistake.

This song gave me the strength to keep going at the darkest point of my life too; when I'd lost everything I'd built up and once held dear. I know I'm just a stranger, but please believe me when I say this: For every day you get up to face a new dawn and keep pushing, I'm proud of you. Stay strong, keep pushing, and the darkness WILL pass.

It's been a while since you wore this comment, but I would like to share some words. Just because things are tough, doesn't mean it will always be that way. There will always be a resolution. Even if it's not what you were expecting, or not entirely what you wanted, doesn't mean that we should just give up now. Stay strong, fellow undead.

[@Defender98TV]

2 months ago I made this comment, and things are still uncertain. I've continued to despair and perk up as the situation curves and rises, lowers and sets, and my living situation is still as rocky as a crumbling-floor Halo warthog run, but the future is always uncertain. Cheers, to all three of you! I'll come back in another two months and let everyone know how it's going.

I’d like to guide u to another song if I could… you’ll have to search it but I think it’s called “when I was done dying” you’ll see a cartoon playing as the vid… and really listen really listen… you have already accomplished the most difficult thing there is to do and that is to be born. I’m 30 and I’m low dood . 30 years and I still don’t got it. Bad come up running around lost and no one to ask what do I do. But don’t worry. When I was done dying has taught me don’t worry to much

When tarkus showed I got sad because this holy zealot of a man is dead and we will never see his badassness again

This comment may get lost in the shuffle, but I just want to say thank you for remaking this video. The first version was an eye opening experience for me, even without the context of the game behind it; it clarified my worldview and helped me to reassess my values. The perfect harmony between the music and the themes of Dark Souls really helped to pull me out of a mental and moral rut and taught me that the best thing we can do is keep pressing forward, even when the obstacles before us present a seemingly insurmountable challenge. The original video changed how I view myself and my world, and everyone involved in this version has lived up to that legacy and more. A fine Dark Soul to you, old friend.
