Just wanted to add that the Two-handed sneaking was found way before the remake. The discovery dates back to July 2010 and you can find records of this on the stealth section of the Demon's Souls wikidot wiki, below "Large weapons effect". You can see the exact date of discovery(26 Jul 2010) by scrolling down onto [History] on the wiki page.

Holy crap, I had no idea they added those human phantom imprints when the 4 bosses die, what an amazing discovery! I also love that it essentially confirms the theory about Oolan.

[@Bluecho4]

Me neither. Though I did notice Phalanx's feminine death scream.

[@GuardianOwl]

You could also hand wave away Ostrava's gender mistake about Oolan as a character flaw: his lack of attention to detail. He mixes up the fates of Vallarfax and Biorr as well. He thinks Biorr is the one who left to inform the world and Vallarfax went missing, when the Narrator says it was Vallarfax who left, and Biorr is the one the player finds locked in a cell. Ostrava is also not attentive of his surroundings as he constantly gets himself trapped by enemies.

[@Joel_Inosin]

@@GuardianOwl didn't think of it that way; that's an interesting take.

[@Arkios64]

@@holoceneevent4534 I was about to comment about his use of "his" in reference to Oolan and Vaati calling them "her", but then the very comment you are asking why nobody comments on that, convinced me of Ostrava just being an idiot. So, basically, everybody already thinks Oolan is female and just assumes he is wrong; and him being wrong A LOT, nigh confirms that. Edit: Vaati also mentions this in the video.

[@VaatiVidya]

UPDATE: The secret at 15:00 has a weird glitch associated with it? Apparently you can only receive the Providencial Ring by trading with Sparkly if the Sword of Searching you trade was created with a Scimitar as the base weapon. Pretty crazy oversight by Bluepoint - and kind of a miracle this was discovered at all.

[@mamaslilboy9900]

Ty sweetie

[@cyndurtv]

ty vaadi but i would never miss it. watch till the end gang!

[@GuardianOwl]

More specifically the Large Sword of Searching *MUST* be crafted using the base weapon scimitar+8. If you make it from any of the other curved weapon choices, Sparkly will not accept it in trade for some reason.

[@anlata9999]

what are the black phantoms Vaati? are they real?

[@hotpocketremix2139]

I can probably answer why this happens, based on my knowledge of how FROM games work internally. I can't guarantee that Bluepoint kept this data intact when remaking the game, but I would be surprised if they did not. When you create a boss weapon, the game needs to store what weapon it came from so that you could un-upgrade it if you felt so inclined. This is stored in a field called 'originEquipWeapon', but any given weapon can only have one entry in this field. To get around this, there's actually 9 weapons, all called "Large Sword of Searching" with identical data except for this one field. For example, the first one has ID 40900 and references weapon 40008, a Scimitar +8, while the second one has ID 40901 and references weapon 40108, a Kilij +8. Because Sparkly trades are looking for a specific item ID, Bluepoint probably found the very first Large Sword of Searching and used its ID for the trade script, which corresponds to the Scimitar +8, and neglected to add trades for the other versions of the weapon. Dark Souls works the same way. The reason I'm familiar with this is because when I made the item randomizer mod for that game, it includes an option to randomly replace boss souls with an item that's created from them instead, and I needed to remember to also randomize which originWeapon version of the boss weapon you get, so that you can possibly downgrade the boss weapon into an interesting weapon each time rather than always getting the first one on the list.

[@thiswasrigged1]

I cannot believe it took me this long to realize that the 3 Black Phantoms in 1-4 are Penetrator, Phalanx and Tower Knights human forms.

[@c4_murloc782]

A cool thing I realized: The sad blue phantom in The Nexus says he wonders if his corporeal body has gone rotten. While this body isn't findable in-game (to my knowledge), the blue is equipped with the Plate Set of armor and a Broadsword, which are all sold by the Dregling Merchant. So even if WE cant find the body, it's clear that our nice pillager buddy did, and looted his corpse :D

[@JohnSpicebag]

I think he's somewhere in the tower of latria, reaching up to a window

[@tanyadavies265]

So are u saying that if u equipped the plate set and carry a broadsword u look blue ? where is his corpse do u know ? a comment left said they think it's in Latria reaching up to a window 🤔 I'm curious that's all as I'm still playing the remake.

[@GaKoPop]

Souls games are so beautiful honestly, I constantly want to see how the world's always look like before the games due to all the wonderful details the games have

[@DanteYewToob]

Agreed. I’m a weirdo who often just walks around to look at stuff when I play video games. Like God of War… so much detail and amazing world building you miss if you just run through killing! I love just exploring in photo mode and appreciating all of the crazy details and hard work they put into the game. It bugs me that so many games have such a limited view, most people never really look up but if you do you see amazing things! The camera normally misses so much of the detail that get worked hard to put, so occasionally just stop and look around and don’t forget to look upwards on occasion!

[@Goose_BooseYT]

Wait so, if Bluepoint seemingly knew Oolan wasn't male, then why did they keep the translation error? Were they really THAT dedicated to keep EVERYTHING the same that they'd keep an error??

[@red2432]

I mean he is male, according to the game. Vat can be wrong some times

[@JyujinPlus]

It is possible that it wasn’t a translation error, and in lore there are reasons a female character is referred to with male pronouns. Perhaps, over the ages, Oolan’s true gender was lost to time. In some countries, knights are referred to as ‘sir’ regardless of gender, but it is commonly associated with men. It’s possible that Oolan was rediscovered but believed to be a man because of how she was referred to. Or, Oolan is just the first transgender Soulsborne character. I don’t know if the female invader version of Oolan was in the original, but if they were, it’s possible Oolan was always a female character with intentionally male pronouns. OR, yes, they coukd just be that dedicated to keep everything the same. They did intentionally leave some glitches.

[@JyujinPlus]

@@holoceneevent4534 The possibility of her being trans was precisely 1/4 of my comment, and 1/3 of the possible explanations. If you look at four paragraphs and grapple on to the one remotely political thing, you’re the one who needs to stop pushing. Plus I mean... how coukd she _just_ be a man? Do you not literally see her invader being a woman? Whatever it is, there is _something_ going on with Oolan. Even if it is just BluePoint keeping a translation error to remain faithful.

[@Glassandcandy]

Since most of the demons are men made monstrous, I assumed the vanguard was one as well and I like to think those who guard it were his soldiers who restrained him after he became uncontrollable and still feed and guard him out of their loyalty for their former commander. Absolutely no textual evidence for that, but it’s not impossible either. It’s always fun to fill in those intentional blanks left in by froms writers/level designers

[@phoenix_revive]

I liked the lore surrounding the 4 knights, and the echoes of their human form as the boss soul dissipates upon killing them. Really cool how Bluepoint added all of these little details.

[@bloodlustfulincubus440]

I watched something about the mistranslation of a warrior's gender; as a Japanese>English translator myself who has done similar work, I've seen such translations, oftentimes because English speakers often apply pronouns more often than Japanese speakers for clarification, and sometimes assumptions (as to which gender the subject is) are made when certain pronouns are applied (one reason I am SOOO glad English has the pronoun "they" when there is ambiguity and believe that such a neutral pronoun should be applied consistently until actual gender, if any, is established).

So about the soul remains of the bosses , i think it could be inspired by berserk where after the apostle Wyald is defeated , we can see his human form before his transformation and since apostles are more or less the demons of the berserk universe , it's possible that they referenced that . Now ofc it could be a stretch to make this connection , especially since it's not a concept unique to berserk but i think it's possible since it inspired much of miyazaki's work and maybe someone at bluepoint is a fan too

I know this is a year old and probably won’t be seen but… Jesus Christ the lore in this game is way deeper than I ever thought. This has always been my favorite in the series since the original came out. The whole thing about the black phantoms in 1-4 being the boletarian knights has literally blown my mind and just made me look at this game in a different way. I thought that it was the most basic in terms of lore as it was there first in the series, but it reminds me of why I loved this game. It was truly great and has changed gaming forever. I was terrified of the remaster ruining what made this game so special so I’m really glad they did this remaster what I would consider perfectly. But I will say it will never be able to recreate the greatness of the OG which is still better. I really wish I got a PS5 to play this but I spent 3 years playing daily and know everything in the game. It would be very hard for me to play this without me being upset about changes. But I’m glad that New souls fans from after OG DeS can experience it and remind everyone that this is what started it all. Great video.

[@TR-Graybles]

I usually choose the Ring as a gift, since it stays with you the entire game and all the rest is obtainable is a decent way elsewhere... Also I found little overall use for most other items anyway and again if you need 'em you can always get 'em later without offering Grand Souls for it, imho.
