Hi everyone! People asked when Sophie and I will continue this series. Unfortunately our real work has been busy and it's been hard to record everything we want. If you'd like to help us focus more on our content, kindly consider www.patreon.com/sinclairlore :) Thank you for all your kind words and support!!

[@KazeVongola]

Oh my, you guys are spicing things up. I like it! New format: Sin: "Yeah" Richie: "Yeah" Redgrave: "Yeah"

[@nostalgicdouchebag1912]

I was so expecting Redgrave to do a "Hey Sin" during the intro

[@bryankelly335]

*_SUPER BIG THANK YOU TO HOLDSY FOR ALL HIS PIXEL WORK!_* Seriously though , it is really dope ..!

[@SinclairLore]

We agree!

[@steven4218]

[@vinodchhabria8738]

Casitive & Sophie are the real Lore Keepers of the Soulborne community, two absolute legends really along with Sinclair the Podcast Goddess!!!

[@MarionetteDuAuguste]

[@casitive]

D'awww! You are makin' me blush!

You guys talked about the archstones, and Sophie pointed out that they kinda look like rotated skulls, but I'm surprised that no one brought up the Japanese mythological creature known as the baku. Baku are dream eating creatures which are often depicted as tapirs. The pokemon Drowsee, Hypno, Munna, and Musharna are some examples of this. If you look at the archstones closely, they're actually rotated tapir heads with a little trunk and horns. Also this is a bit of a stretch, but dreams are often depicted as misty, hazy, and foggy. Here's an interesting excerpt from the Baku wikipedia page: "Legend has it that a person who wakes up from a bad dream can call out to baku. A child having a nightmare in Japan will wake up and repeat three times, 'Baku-san, come eat my dream.' Legends say that the baku will come into the child's room and devour the bad dream, allowing the child to go back to sleep peacefully. However, calling to the baku must be done sparingly, because if he remains hungry after eating one's nightmare, he may also devour their hopes and desires as well, leaving them to live an empty life." I think there are some very interesting parallels with the Old One here. Both are hungry beasts with a seemingly insatiable appetite. Both are initially used for good purposes, but have the potential to spiral out of control. So this is my personal take, but I view the archstones as a kind of symbolic reflection of the Old One. The sword impaling the tapir skull is like all the swords and staffs impaling the Old One. The beast has been tamed, and is now used as a source of power to keep the world together.

Finally, a podcast I actually care about.

[@jmay5583]

I have so much cooking to so I can finally enjoy this series. Thank you sin for working so hard to get this, and the other new videos out!

[@SinclairLore]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Omgfloryellowhi]

We need to combine the angelic outline with the demonic outline to make the true and most powerful outline

[@alexbenavidez4500]

I cannot exaggerate just how many Hellshifts at work this channel has gotten me through. Thank you Sophie. Thank you Sin. Thank you hyper-specific skin condition I have that allows me to wear a hat at work that hides the fact I have one earbud in at all times, which is absolutely not allowed.

[@ijakerz93]

darn I missed the notification but just after the opening I'm hyped af

[@AssailantLF]

This is a bit of a crazy idea, but what if the Nexus is like an artificially created Old One that acts as an opposing force? Rather than a mindless raven overgrown beast of nature, the Nexus is the exact opposite: a representation of the control, power, and comprehension of humans. They have a similar purpose. The Old One sends out (or creates) Arch Demons to go collect and gather all the souls for it. The Nexus sends out Demon Slayers to go collect and gather all the demon souls for it. They even have a somewhat similar shape. The Old One (as much as we see of it) appears to just be a mouth opening with a hall/tube that eventually leads to its core, which houses all of its power, and this is where it calls demons to feed it and continue its purpose. The Nexus has an opening with a looong tube that eventually leads to its core, which houses all the Monumentals as well as the Maiden in Black who _pulls souls through the tube into the core_ in order to use them to further its purpose of keeping the world intact.

Long time no see indeed for Theomony! But I have to say that Redgrave's quip game was on point this time. He pretty much won the podcast in the first five minutes. Also, Holdsy's work with pixel animation has really elevated things. I love the homey feel of the Byrgenwerth background, but this one's cool, too, and I like how all your guest stars have their own sprites.

[@casitive]

Hiiii~

[@Pinny1701]

Casitive is back!

[@casitive]

:O! (Hi!)

[@PinkSkunkSleepy]

Nexus 5G Celltower spreading demons across the land!

[@Monu73796]

Foucalt references in Soulsborne! Yes!

[@MarionetteDuAuguste]

I...thought it was pretty clear that the Nexus was located to the north. Lord Rydell found it and broke in, he stole the Phosphorescent staff from the maiden in black (who he called the witch of the sky) and then he returned home and told King Allant all about his adventures, which is how Allant found the old one and started the second scourge.

[@SinclairLore]

yeah we mention it in another podcast that's not released yet (the one with lokey) so I didnt really focus on that here

[@MarionetteDuAuguste]

Sinclair Lore oh okay, I should’ve given you all the benefit of the doubt

[@SinclairLore]

@@MarionetteDuAuguste Yeah I'm trying to get different theories perspectives on the lore (with the different Demon's Souls podcasts) so not every detail/theory is going to show up in every podcast. But I think as a whole, the podcasts will encompass a lot of them.

[@MarionetteDuAuguste]

Sinclair Lore I look forward to it

[@umairkhalid2222]

Just a side note long after the vidoe has been published but Jin in Islam aren't necessarily evil. They can be good or bad just like human begins. Though it's more common for them to be evil with the text and they are often presented as very malicious.

[@АртёмДубравин-ы6у]

Did you know these are tapir skulls? They are tapirs! They stuck a sword through a tapir's head.

[@SinclairLore]

Yeah, we talked about it in another podcast

[@АртёмДубравин-ы6у]

@@SinclairLore oh but did u kno its bcz tapir is a dream eating monster of japanese folklore and that's why the sleep pokeman drowsey also looks like a tapir????????????????? IT EATS BAD DREAMS

[@SinclairLore]

Yup we talked about Baku and stuff like that

[@АртёмДубравин-ы6у]

@@SinclairLore NICE

[@onamor9918]

Please be nice to Richard this time

[@tacodude98]

You're asking too much my friend...

[@TheCriiss180]

fucking bell i miss so much vids this month u.u

[@kupokupokupopo]

@Sinclair Lore : I don't get it. Originally I thought that whenever Redgrave is on your channel - it was some kind of joke. Now I beginning to think that you really do have him? I'm confused, please help.

[@sophiepilbeam7647]

He's our friend and we ask him on sometimes.

[@nataliealphonse4634]

Richies just really good at voices

[@lucipharis]

all of their guests are just Richie

[@4thanonymousperson]

Great analysis, but the maxed out gain on Lokey's mic hurts me greatly. 🙃 Maybe take your mic away from your mouth a little my dude
