The Tragedy of Harrower Dervla | Lords of the Fallen Lore

[@jamescannon4186]

Watching this while playing and didn’t even realize that you aren’t some massive channel. That’s a damn shame, this is high quality content. Keep it up man!! It’ll come

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoy! No, not too big but growing each day

[@johnysimps1191]

Dervla is such a cool design. Her story is great too but i wish we got just a bit more about her. Like how she became a dark crusader or her early life

[@Remmy0930]

The armor set from her remembrance is LEGIT.

[@demonintellect9834]

Nice to see a boss that actually makes us a bad person for killing. The boss was just defending it's friend who in turn was keeping Mournestead safe from the Putrid Mother. Also I think it was the kid talking before the boss battle at 28:18, not Dervla, which is why the talking stops when Dervla puts a hand on his shoulder.

[@alselein7155]

It is the kid talking, thought that was obvious for everyone

[@demonintellect9834]

@@alselein7155 Apparently not to the video creator.

[@calebfleming123]

I wonder what happens if you don’t kill harrower dervla

[@AmonnRa]

​@@calebfleming123it doesn't effect the story, I didn't even know about this boss fight before this video

[@greyknight627]

In all my playthroughs, I never connected the dialogue you hear right before the Dervla fight to be from Dervla herself, rather I thought it was the child saying this. This is augmented by the fact that all of Dervla’s sounds she makes when injured in the first phase of the fight sound deeper than the initial dialogue. Moreover, at the end of the initial fight, the subsequent cutscene has the child screaming as it posses Dervla’s corpse and the sounds the child makes sound more similar to the initial dialogue.

Really happy to see someone covering this game lore, great job man

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate it. I realize the game has had its difficulties since launch, but the world they made is very fascinating. Stay tuned for more

[@NinjaPups]

Amazing work on these lore videos. Dervla is definitely one of the coolest bosses in a souls like.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate it! Her armor, her story, her weapons are all amazing

[@nomad15067]

It's just a theory, but I think taht the boy may be an experiment of Molhu, like Pieta. After all, Molhu has been trying to creat th" perfect vessel" for a long time, but the boy was a "failled experiement" and was discarded.

[@YEY0806]

I mean, it's possible, but I don't think it has to do with Molhu since the boys' power is that he blocks the presence of Umbral, which I don't think Molhu would ever want since that contradicts his aim to severe the veil between Umbral and Axiom. Even if Molhu had a hand and didn’t intend for the boy to have this power, he would have just killed him and his parents rather than letting him go and his parents wouldn't be alive in the first place because Molhu is known to kill parents of the children he kidnaps to experiment on simply because he has no use for them, such as Pieta who was a succes and still killed her mother

[@nomad15067]

@@YEY0806 then, the boy origins would still be a mystery. That's also fine by me.

[@YEY0806]

@@nomad15067 yeah me too, however if there is DLC or new questlines I can imagine them adding more detail to the boys backstory especially if it's more Umbral related. Maybe by focusing on a new character related to him or just expanding his role for like new endings or something. Just speculation

[@mickeycee8559]

Awesome job man. Your best lore video so far. Love the longer lore videos. Really hope You do more of these

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate it and so glad you enjoy. Stay tuned, working on some more in the LotF series

[@xanmof.8138]

Keep it coming! These videos are great!

[@TheLorebrarians]

Glad you enjoyed, I've got some more in the series coming so stay tuned!

[@TheRealCptObvious1]

Shes also the hardest boss I've fought in a game in a little while. Ng+ had me on the verge of tears

[@FullCaber]

her armor screams berserk even the shoulders,but theres also weird abyswalker vibes

[@YEY0806]

Also Lothric and Lorian vibes, like the intro is almost a one to one replica of the intro cutscene of Lothric and Lorian's boss fight

[@Papaperez-v9x]

She looks like combination of Malenia and Artorias.

[@dshearwf]

I really love the nod though, to both. The connection to Guts and Artorias, who are also battling against a ghost world/abyss entity and the Lothric and Lorian connection driving home the whole bond/promise thing and the struggle against the status quo. I feel like the devs deliberately represented those, to make you see Devla's intent and role in their game. People will say it's just a blatant copy, but don't forget Artorias was the original Guts ripoff made by Miyazaki himself :D

[@IamSnehan]

She's basically a Gael/Artorias hybrid with Malenia’s flowing red mane

[@Sometuy11A]

Great video! The unbroken promise was such a great and interesting boss. Keep ‘em coming, please. It would be interesting to see a video about Adyr and whether or not he was the cruel tyrant in the past he's been painted to be.

[@TheLorebrarians]

So glad you enjoyed and thanks for the suggestion! Have several more videos in the series coming, stay tuned

[@evansnyamesah1755]

Now we can better empathize with Issac and Harkyn

[@dxcSOUL]

After watching this, I think she became my favorite character

[@TheLorebrarians]

Such a rich story, and not to mention awesome armor/weapons

[@MiguelHernandez-zm2ii]

Keep this lore series going!

[@TheLorebrarians]

I've got more in the works, glad you enjoy!

[@FlintWestwood489]

Great stuff mate, keep it coming :) Played through the game 4 times already (one in NG+) and lore video's like this make the experience even better.

[@tristinrev]

Love the LOTF lore, i think it can be close to Dark Souls if you immerse enough. Keepup the vids please!

[@tristinrev]

And your reference to items is second to none. I love that you picture it, mention it, and give reasoning to your thoughts.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes, the lore and setting are very rich and I've loved exploring it. Stay tuned for more in the series

[@pineal0ptics928]

The umbral really reminds me of the legacy of kain and the elder god. It’s an older game, ps1 days but the main character raziel can phase into the spectral realm by dying. Even the putrid mother kinda looks like the elder god. Not taking anything from the game at all, really enjoying everything so far.

[@YelFlux]

You are my main source of lore for lord of the fallen I just love you are my vaati

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks so much for the kind comparison, more to come in the future!

[@kingkiller_1001]

Well if Vaati Vadia doesn't want to do Lords of the Fallen lore... Someone will bc he's proven that ppl will watch the lore of there favorite games

[@statichammer9984]

My only criticism is that some of the areas of the game are quite dark, so it may be worthwhile to get some footage of especially dark areas with the brightness settings turned up in game. When you were going over the appearance of the cistern near the first quarter of the video, the footage is so dark you cant really see whats going on in the video.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate the feedback, will look into it for future videos

[@knuckless7788]

This was an amazing video please make more lore of lords of the fallen

[@TheLorebrarians]

Glad you enjoyed, more to come so stay tuned!

[@cristiang6227]

What an intro! I'm hooked.

[@drnobody1908]

Actually I don't think that's her talking instead it's the boy

[@fly7292]

You deserve more views.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate it, slowly but surely!

[@FirstSnow]

Absolutely superb!

[@dethbedsmolzwhent.t6498]

All I know is I heard "LEEEAVE!!!" so many times when I finally beat them I did the point down gesture lol

[@extremehunter426]

I love the lore of this game, Dervla was such a cool character and a very cool boss fight, but I feel like her lore is similar to another's from Dark Souls, I feel her lore is similar to that of Gundyr

[@matix1256]

awsome work. Lords of the fallen is great game with awsome Lore/ world to learn

[@TheLorebrarians]

Glad you enjoyed, more LotF lore to come!

[@caliberaxis8892]

She literally what I image a female Guts would be. Hell even her armor looks exactly like the berserker armor. The shoulders are 1 to 1

Lots of repurposed Lovecraft text for describing the Mother.

Can you do lore of Sundered Monarch and Adyr, I'm wondering is Monarch actually king Basim

[@TheLorebrarians]

Great suggestion! Working on The complete LotF story right now, hope to get to these characters in the future

[@alselein7155]

The Sundered Monarch is King Bramis, the Tortured Prisoner's questline reveals a lot about him

[@Papaperez-v9x]

@@alselein7155 Yes, i thought so, i didn't even know about that questline but before every boss fight there is Umbral remembrance about boss's past, do you know he transformered into a giant, also is that tortured prisoner his wife?

[@PozyCowell]

Oh dear. Another dogged contender.

[@matus19971]

This was great as she's one character I was very interested in. One correction tho, I'm pretty sure the one talking in the cutscene is the child. The voice is too child-like to be Dervla.

[@IamSnehan]

It is the kid

[@-Triumph]

Agreed!

[@Papaperez-v9x]

I'm not because voice is feminine and child is boy.

[@stainedyouth5151]

Why isnt the audio working for me wth😒
