Technically, if you kill dancer first, and manage to beat oceiros, you can be invaded by Daughter of Crystal Kriemheld. If I spelled that correctly. In the untended graves. Point is you can get that NPC invasion first if you’re absolutely insane.

[@HarajukuDeadgirls111]

[@darkwolf9637]

7:04 he's telling you to get into the cage if you want to join the covanent

[@VaatiVidya]

To be clear about the giant, I used to think you had to pick up a white branch and bring it to him, because the dialogue box used to say "offer token of friendship" in a previous patch. I vividly remember him attacking me when I didn't have a branch in my inventory. Now the dialogue box says "make peace". I think they changed it. Hence why I got a fact wrong and had to reupload.

[@squalltheonly]

The NPC in the undead settlement is referring to Sirris. When doing her quest you have to help her defeat the NPC that lets you join the Mound covenant, he is Sirris grandfather and the jailer is his grandson. So basically the jailer has been sending people down the hole and he finishes them off. So both are evil and Sirris wants to stop them. Is in the strategy guide as well.

That's supposed to be yellowfinger herself if you kill her in all the areas she spawns. My guess is that she rebirthed herself too much after getting defeated over and over again she turned into a slug. Hence the description of rebirthing is "Persisting after 5 rebirths will turn you into a slug."

"Another nana disappeared. So the grandson carries a cage, he ever has his cage. And nana's never coming back, so come into the cage and become nana's shade.." He's talking about the Mound Maker's Covenant. Look at the clothes for the Jail Breakers and then look at the one for the Shrine Maiden at Firelink Shrine. I just assume the shrine maiden relates to it because "Nana" also means grandmother in some cultures. Also, if you look at the description text to the Budding Green Blossom, it'll read: "The brief attached messages suggests that it was a gift: 'Good-bye, dear Grandmother. I will visit Grandfather, in the Pit of Hollows'" Well anyways, that's all I've got for that 🤗

[@jackgill2698]

This may be far too late but: 'Another nana disappeared' - A strange way of pronouncing 'Nanna' as in Grandmother? And the shrine handmaiden is Sirris' Grandmother. 'The grandson carries a cage' - Referring to the cage carrying, non-hostile saw guy, who takes you to see Hodrick, who is Sirris' grandfather. So possibly can we infer that the cage carrying hollow is Sirris' brother? And they are both the grandchildren of the Shrine Handmaiden and Hodrick? Also, the use of 'another' in 'Another nana disappeared' would seem to connect to the old hags in DS2, and the fact that they were all precisely the same old woman. Maybe they all left over time? And maybe at some point they worked at the undead settlement, preparing hollows? (That last bits a bit more 'Wild Conjecture-y')

[@Oops-All-Ghosts]

I don't think it's the Shrine Handmaiden. I think he's referring to one of the Evangelists. Few reasons for that: The Evangelists are highly maternal towards the members of the community, likely as a form of love-bombing (the practice of making people feel extremely welcome when they're doing what you want them to, then depriving them of all that love immediately when they do something wrong, until they return to the fold; it's an _extremely_ effective manipulation technique). The Evangelists are almost certainly responsible for most of the horrible shit we see in the Undead Settlement. Beyond the fact that they're in a position of clear authority, there, the mistreatment of Undead seems to have a religious bend to it, and numerous item descriptions claim that they're involved in the preparation or application of items. They come from the Cathedral of the Deep, too, and the Cathedral of the Deep is the only place I've found enemies who use Allfather Lloyd's Undead Hunter talismans. The Evangelists are servants of the Gods, who the Mound-Makers are at least passively opposed to; the item you sacrifice to the altar is a Vertebra Shackle, which serves as proof that the gods control everyone. The Grandson's Nana's disappearance causes him to become non-hostile to the player-character. No other giant hollow is non-hostile to the PC. Whether he is responsible for his Nana's disappearance, or the disappearance of his Nana allowed him to regain some measure of sanity, or, conversely, caused him to become even more insane, or whether whoever disappeared his Nana bound him into service, somehow, his current position is a direct result of the disappearance of his Nana. And when the Curse-Rotted Greatwood is destroyed (or, possibly more importantly, when Hodrick is killed and the Cavern is exposed), he becomes hostile. Grandson may still carry his cage, but it's no longer possible to climb into it and become Nana's shade--at least, for people who haven't already done so. I wonder if there's any way to stop one of the Undead from coming back? Something, perhaps, related to the growth of a Mound-Maker's mound?

[@jackgill2698]

+Snowskeeper Ferenczy Yes, you might be on to something there. The evangelists have a certain grandmotherly air, albeit a twisted one!

[@Dragynn5]

Perhaps I'm grasping at straws here, but I wonder if the "nana" might be Loretta? Just a random possibility I thought I'd throw out there.

[@vaspeter2600]

I hear bleeding them out helps. Certain methods I know of none. Although it would be a rather huge deal, I assume. A defiance against the curse, eh? Probably just a horrible method of burial which offers no way for you to claw yourself out. God, that picture of yours makes me peckish.

[@tylersowl101]

Jack Gill so that sounds convincing but has holes because, the "old hags" in DS2 were fire keepers that were basically retired which is why they were in that limbo area (Things Betwixt- *messed up spelling cuz too lazy*). Although I think I do remember hearing something about the "old hags" being the same person, the fact that they are retired fire keepers brings up a STRONG argument that they would not simply leave the limbo area because after all they are retired. Besides if you remember in DS2 the ladies laughed at us hollows for being stupid for going out on our quest, which you could say implies that they retired because they lost all hope. Btw that last point is very strongly backed by the DS community and DS2 basically says that throughout the game to you. Now, please don't think I'm bashing you that your wrong, because if you have been subbed to this channel for a long time or recently you would know that people like me in this community are not trying to prove each other wrong but instead we are trying to come to a conclusion. In the end, I could be wrong, you could be wrong, everyone could be wrong, but this is what makes the DS community so different and so amazing, because two complete strangers can start having a debate about the game and possibly make something out of it. The DS community represents teamwork that personally I have never seen in any other game. So never stop trying to solve the mysteries of souls games, because as a community we will never really know the true meaning, because I don't know if I can trust Miyazaki(hope I spelled that right) after that damn pendant joke back in DS1.

Minor spoilers for an npc quest: In my opinion the "undead congolomerate" at 7:15 is not only givin you a hint about the cage which can transport.. let's all remember that Sirris is lookin for her Grandfather, which is the mad Hordrick, which resides underneath the rotted greatwood I think that might be what the undead is refering with "nana's never comin back" (i'm not american/english, i don't know if "nana" can be also used for males) but i don't know since, therefore, it would mean that the big guy with the cage is somethin like Sirris' brother or something like that (since the rest of the poem is like "the grandson carries a cage" i don't know...probably doesn't make that much sense : \

[@Terribletrain]

i agree, it seems like when you a boss (cant remember which) you get a special green blossom item, and on that item it says that irris is going to kill her grandfather hodric, which is the person you meet after you jump in the cage. so it seems like the one who carries the cage are hodric's grandson aka irris brother

[@no1important777]

+Diskhate nana is only for female relatives. speaking as an american.

[@atarikid7195]

+Diskhate nana is only for a grandmother, here in the UK. And it's 80% nearly a complete English thing. Doubt you'd hear it anywhere else much in the isles.

[@Diskhate]

I found, maybe, an hint: apparently, the "nana" that conglomerate is refering, COULD be the shrine maiden (the one who sells you stuff in change of ashes) because, apparently, she is Sirris' grandmother, which would make her Hordrick's wife (Hordrick is the one you find in the pit the conglomerate is hinting you on how to reach)

[@Oops-All-Ghosts]

The caged undead say "ANOTHER nana disappeared," and the nana who disappeared is clearly dead, because you're asked to become her shade. So I find it very hard to believe that they're referring specifically to the Shrine Maiden. I went into depth about this in another comment section, but I'm convinced it's one of the Evangelists the caged undead are referring to. I can copy-paste that, if you like.

[@samueleverett3734]

So the npc at the end, if your logic is right that he's giving you a hint about the cage, the implies that "grandson" carrying the cage is the shrine maidens grandson.

+Mick Lane That's interesting. Did you speak to him before you killed him? I've experimented with him and everytime I've killed him I couldn't get into that cage because I would instantly get agro'd. The times I was allowed into the cage were only when I kept that Nana creature alive.

the cage npc is taking about the covenant where you "Climb into the cage" which you literally do, "And become her shade" becoming a mound maker. at least that's how I'm seeing it

Yaxion so, imagine splitting the game into roughly 3 parts (4 including the DLCs) The Dancer is a gatekeeper for most of the last 3rd of the game. You'll still need to go back for most of the bosses. It's basically suicide to do this fight early unless you know what your doing, but it's a great secret for minmaxing builds or challenge runs

[@deadlynchunky7912]

Interesting that the conglomerate speaks about a nana, the npc that first allows access to the covenant is a grandfather, and his granddaughter also allows you access to his covenant at the end of her quest line, and her “nana” is at fire link, and never leaves it, thus never coming back to her husband, who’s gone mad, which could also be seen as “never coming back.” I’m not high just tired af

[@Norrsky]

The conglomerate riddle is talking about the mound maker covenant. The cage refers to the cage holder that brings you there

[@sanfransiscon]

+Aaron Davis And "nana" must be someone who got in the cage and joined the covenant. Or maybe it's the guy you see down in that pit, since he's kind of the leader of them. "Become nana's shade" would make more sense because you work for him and you do your acts of madness as a shade or phantom.

[@Norrsky]

I'm thinking it has more significance. Nana is one way to pronounce 7 which in Japanese is a number closely related to death due to its other pronunciation shichi, which contains shi meaning death. The moundmakers taken the vertebrae of the dead, so maybe this is a relation?

[@baumchel]

[@geoffreymullen3527]

+TheSnoozeFox He played the japanese version and had an early copy so he had a headstart. Given the fact that souls content is what his channel is all about it's not surprising that he's played a lot to get as much content together as he can.

[@LewisBogue]

Regarding the covenant in the undead settlement, this is not available after you reach phase 2 of the Curse Greatwood boss fight and the ground breaks. After the ground has broken, even if you didn’t defeat the boss, the npc cage dude is hostile and you can’t join this covenant. Tree jump in firelink is still good as of a couple weeks ago

[@williambates1174]

+VaatiVidya you asked a question about the caged guy giving a hint. if you talk to him BEFORE you climb into the cage on the guys back it will cause him to be unhostile. essentially allowing you to walk past him, grab the loot, then go back and climb in no problem. if you don't talk to him you have to wait until his back is turned.

[@Levinsbun]

The undead cage dudes are probably referring to Greirat and Loretta. Greirat probably stole the ring from his nana, got captured, felt guilty, and desired to give it back. The hat Greirat wears refers to shaming criminals/slaves and may be the cage referred to in the song.

[@gottabeinspiring]

Hust the emotes and the torch part made this video UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING alone. Thanks..

Nana is referring to the shrine handmaiden, grandson being the guy carrying the cage, npc who drops tailsman being granddaughter, and finally Hodrick being the grandfather of the two and husband of the handmaden

i mean just get a straightsword and youre overpowerd for all of the first playthrought. didnt take me long to figure that out

[@tdhhellian7509]

The riddle has been explained by now. But for those who missed it, it has to do with the shrine handmaiden and the mound maker's covenant. The maiden is Sirris's grandmother, and Hodrick is her grandfather. The grandson is the cage monster that takes you there. "Become Nana's shade" has to do with the bloodshade covenant (which I know nothing about having never played the previous games) But since you recieve BloodLust from them and the covenant has to do with blood, it makes sense that you'd be a Blood Shade.
