I love the detail that the Dragonborn didn’t realize he could shout again until the Chosen Undead started talking.

[@craigdellicarpini772]

In reality, the Thu'um would not have been silenced. The Thu'um isn't magic, as it does not depend on Magicka. Instead, what the Thu'um actually is interfering with the World Song, which forces things straight into reality. Its a reality bending ability that isn't refined. The Dwemer built their cities using a more refined and advanced usage of this concept in nothing more than a single whisper. Their metal was also made in this way, which is why no one can make it. Unless the silencing works on all sounds, the Thu'um could not have been stopped by it.

[@Steven-lz1vo]

@@craigdellicarpini772 I know but they present it as stopping all sounds, and I just appreciate the consistency.

[@demonpride1975]

@@craigdellicarpini772 you do realize the thu'um is dragon speech, not magic i know but literally a dragon talking, so yes vow of silence would effect the speech also.

[@craigdellicarpini772]

@@demonpride1975 Vow of Silence does not work on bosses, even though they specifically spell cast. Moonlight Butterfly is a specific example. That being said, the Vow of Silence specifically counteracts magic. The Thu'um isn't related to magic in any way, shape, or form. The Thu'um is sound which Vow of Silence, even in Dark Souls, doesn't cancel out.

So, he could simply banish the undead to a different realm with the help of the daedra where the darksoul lore would cease to exist.

"Alduin (World Eater): Alduin is the Nordic variation of Akatosh, and only superficially resembles his counterpart in the Nine Divines. For example, Alduin's sobriquet, 'the world eater', comes from myths that depict him as the horrible, ravaging firestorm that destroyed the last world to begin this one. Nords therefore see the god of time as both creator and harbinger of the apocalypse" -Lore:Varieties_of_Faith...Alduin Umiral's father was a lasser God from the previous kalpa. "and spoke of his father, a god of the [previous kalpa's] World-River and taking great delight in the heavy-breathing of Pelinal who had finally bled" -The_Song_of_Pelinal,_v7 In fact in Skyrim he was going destroy it if we didn't stop him in Sovngarde.

As good a reason as any. There are many who feel as you do, although not all. Some would say that all things must end, so that the next can come to pass. Perhaps this world is simply the Egg of the next kalpa? Lein vokiin? Would you stop the next world from being born" -paarthurnax Todd Howard himself confirmed Alduin was going eat the World. Kurt Kuhlmann: The Nords have this god in their pantheon, Alduin. Todd Howard: Alduin, who is this...I don't want to say evil, but dark, god, in the Elder Scrolls lore. He is a dragon. Kurt Kuhlmann: In the ancient times he sorta ruled over the humans in this part of the world. Todd Howard: And the prophecy goes that "he will return and eat the world" ...well that's what happens in Skyrim! - Todd Howard Dragons are creation of Akatosh that make the flow of time go without it being destroyed. Paarthunax literally said this world will continue to exist at last until Alduin back ( when the Gods want end the World) and he can't see the the past end of the World, because when Alduin destroy the World he literally destroy Time itself ( not the concept of time) with it. The world is a better place without Alduin. Perhaps. At least it will continue to exist. Grik los lein. And, as you told me once, the next world will have to take care of itself. Ful nii lost.

And that's what happens when you get a Dragonbreak, or a planemeld, or an Oblivion Crisis, or Alduin coming back from the depths of time. You've got reality changing in big ways" -Lawrence Schick

[@blademasterzero]

ok but incredibly minor nitpick but technically all shouts alter reality. they aren't just powers tied to sound but the character actually commanding reality to obey and it does. when you use the fire breath shout you are literally just telling reality that there is fire there now and regardless of anything else the universe will listen and fire will exist. at least that's to my understanding but elder scrolls lore is crazy confusing sometimes

@@10tailedbijuu In the death battle, Dragonborn was trying to prevent Chosen Undead from linking the First Flame as they were both listening to different snakes.

[@Silverwind87]

​​​@@10tailedbijuu The Dragonborn was sent to defeat the Chosen Undead, because linking the First Flame would "burn the Age of Humans to ashes." The entire reason the gods of Dark Souls want to prevent the Age of Dark is so humans won't be able to challenge their power. The flame isn't actually necessary for the world to live on, it just gives power to the gods while burning away the Dark Souls, the _true_ souls, of humanity. It makes sense that the Dragonborn, a former prisoner who fought against either an imperialist dictatorship or a fascist terrorist group, would want to end the reign of those gods. From the Dragonborn's perspective, the Chosen Undead is allowing the gods to enslave humanity. From the Undead's perspective, the Last Dragonborn is a Dark Lord trying to prevent their mission to save humanity. Let the First Flame go unlinked. Let true Dark be cast upon the world. You can't keep the fire burning forever. That's my interpretation, anyway.

Knowing the souls community, they'd probably keep going until the Dragonborn doesn't want to live anymore xD Using a variety of meme setups, learning about every frame of every ability and move the Dragonborn has, until he dies. Honestly, take the results with a grain of salt. The chosen undead only hollows if they lose their purpose. It's an open ended fight, but i understand why they made The Dragonborn win. The Dragonborn is way stronger, and the only thing The Chosen undead has is basically immortality.

[@fenrirsilver6441]

@@GoatOfWar Suprisingly, if you look at the lore for the Chosen Undead(ds1) he does actually eventually go Hollow. The other two on the other hand, the Monarch from ds2 and Ashen One from ds3, it would be a different story. Despite what others have said, even if we make the Dragonborn an elf, vampire, alchemy, have them extend their life with shouts, and have the help in longevity from the Daedric Princes, the Monarch would eventually win but only because the Dragonborn dies of Natural Causes, because at the end of the game(with the DLCs) the Monarch doesn't ever Hollow(the Flame will still burn their soul to ashe eventually though I guess). The Ashen One however, effectively has a fighting chance not just because of what you mentioned before, but feat-wise they can stand toe to toe with the Dovakin(enough where its hard to say who wins). The Ashen one not just fought and defeated 3 other Lords of Cinder(what the Chosen Undead and the Monarch become after linking the Flame) and one "pair" who was planned to become one themselves(the twin princes), but the very Soul of Cinder itself(which is effectively the accumulation of experience and abilities of every Lord of Cinder ever throughout all of time). Not only that, but the Ashen One also beat the Slave Knight Gael, which basically is analogous to the Soul of Cinder, but for all Undead(due to having consumed every Dark Soul, except for the Ashen One's). If we chose the Lord of Hollows ending for ds3, its even worse because not only do you have the things I mentioned before, but now the Flame lies within the Ashen One and they aren't bound to the Kiln of the First Flame.

@@valor1omega Not how the First Flame works. You can't just kick dirt on it and the Age of Fire ends. If you could, it'd end thousands of times over just from simple mistakes. The First Flame is more akin to Akatosh or Aetherius, in that it's more a force of nature than a physical object. You CAN snuff the First Flame if you're attuned to it like the Chosen Undead or a Firekeeper, but that doesn't actually stop anything, and the Flame of Disparity still exists. Also Vow of Silence doesn't just stop magic. It stops speech, since speech is intertwined with magic in Dark Souls.

Bro should have started with the dragon aspect shout. Major attack and defense buff plus shortens shout recharge time.

[@TheFirstDragonbornMiraak]

The recharge time for Shouts is really just a game mechanic.

[@Wakaplayer12]

@@TheFirstDragonbornMiraak It could be more than that. Even for the Dovakiin, a Thu'um could be taxing. That could be what the timer represents

[@TheFirstDragonbornMiraak]

@@Wakaplayer12 Just a game mechanic. Going by lore, a cooldown for shouts doesn't exist.

I really thought you guys were setting up the chosen undead to win. Excellent episode as always guys!

[@demonwolfgod8450]

Great fight, but they forgot to mention the dragonborns special move....crouching makes him completely invisible.

[@chadlewisdchc2973]

plus you can crouch and roll!

[@Crasheschick]

I love that reference when the Chosen Undead gets shot in the knee by an arrow. "I was an adventurer til I took an arrow to the knee."

[@MeticulousMitchh]

I love that they had him moan and the dragonborne was just:😮

[@Crasheschick]

@@MeticulousMitchh rofl yeah that made it even funnier

[@notusingmyname4791]

even though that's more of a norse saying of getting married. instead of "ball and chain" it was "arrow to the knee"

thats all this fight was, was some choppy animation, barely referencing anything BUT Memes and bad calculations and feats.

This was pretty damn sick.

[@alleistervoosen473]

This was a really cool battle scene.

[@ghostly_number]

Dang this just makes me want to see a full on cinematic of a fully powered dragonborn vs alduin

[@ZombieGangster]

Its always going to be the Dragonborn if he’s full powered

[@jamesmcdonald1108]

@Zombie Gangster he had to use dragonrend to even hurt him though, so not exactly fair, it's like going to fight superman with kryptonite

[@kaimobley5324]

​@@jamesmcdonald1108 not really bcus if you manage to run into Alduin in the overworld you can actually "kill him" ahead of time. I got close to doing it when he got glitched into a mountain keeping him in place but eventually he got unglitched and flew away. Dragonrend on the other hand just forces him to be grounded for a period of time and doesn't do any damage

[@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702]

The fact that Dark Souls games don't let you unlock a Dragonborn character after defeating the game at least once is criminal. The Souls games would be so much more fun if you had various characters from other games

[@KorgCrimson]

would have been far less underwhelming than what we got I'm sure.

[@pronoblewolf]

The Dragonborn has the ability to summon two different dragons and other spirits and Elementals basically it is a walking boss of Dark Souls

[@willswenson3169]

One of the dragons can even be repeatedly resummoned, since it's soul is bound to a different pocket realm with different masters

[@mikecarol6108]

If you read the item descriptions in DarkSouls, and the spells they can cast in game youll understand why the Dragonborn gets obliterated.

[@austinspallinger2207]

​​@mikecarol6108 then why did he win?. I mean I played and Beat both games and did massive deep lore dives. There is no support for you to claim that The chosen one should be the winner
