Seath is for all practical purposes, a Dracolich. His flesh and blood has been crystallized and his immortality is directly tied to the Primordial Crystal, his Phylactery. So long as the PC was unbroken, Seath was a true immortal. (It just turns out that a lazy guard would eventually lead to a death spiral of events that would countermand Seath's efforts.)
This, literally this. But have aspects of the war with the everlasting dragons because we need that finally hell that could be a plot point in the game even maybe even involving some character choices
It feels like such a long time ago since I finished the DS series.. the key points are there and you did a great job but, the details of what it took to get to these points and that curiosity that leads you off the main paths into the details is what sticks. I'm definitely still sitting hear trying to remember it all
Genuinely really good video I hope it becomes one of those random videos that blow up for under 100k subscriber channels because it deserves more views
Aldia isn't slain, the fight with Aldia is only it testing the PC to make sure they're ready for the throne. Funny how Aldia presumably also unlocked immortality
Thank you so much for this masterpiece. As someone who had only invested time in the third game, I always wanted to have a deeper understanding of the souls series because the themes and lore are just so fascinating and familiar. I now feel a bit more complete as a hollow myself.
you got some of it wrong, the first born of gwyn is exiled after gwyn goes to link the first flame, also the one we fight under that tower is probably not havel
@@yikes6969 lol... Maybe if you knew what to say you wouldn't have to insult my cognitive ability as your first recourse 😞 but seriously... You're not making sense man, if you don't care why are you answering?
First soulsgame I've beaten was bloodborne, than dark souls 3, 1 and 2 haven't played yet since I thought they are not connected. I started than dark souls 1 and came to firelink shrine which looks way different than in dark souls 3. Looked for video to explain the connection and story and there is no video on the internet that says so much in 15minutes. Thank you.
Amazing job man! All the other videos explaining the lore are either freaking 2 hour long or just terribly narrated. Not only did you manage to summarize the story without missing out important details but also didn't make it too fast and untidy. Bravo❤👍👍👍👏👏
This was great! :) One idea i've been thinking about is the They that came from the Dark are actually seeds of the archtrees. This would explain the rootlike growth on hollows, most pronounced on the Four Kings, and people turning into trees in DS3. Also the term hollow is a common word used to describe hollow trees, maybe implying that humans are in fact trees infused with life and when that life is spent we are left hollow husks. Either way hollow is an unusual term for an undead fiend. I think the advent of fire and it's end is in fact part of the archtrees lifecycle. One could draw parallells to forestfires in the real world. Pine specifically, a common reference in dark souls, thrive in the aftermath of forestfires. One of pines many adaptations to fire are serotinous cones. These cones are glued shut with a strong resin and stays shut long after its seeds have matured only to be released when fire melts the resin and spreads the seeds. I would enter the item human pine resin into evidence at this point. I theorycraft alot but don't have the technical know-how to make videos (old). Im so glad someone does! The Dark souls community is awesome. And it's so great people are still making content :). Praise the sun!
Hollywood takes one mediocre story and drags it out painfully across three movies, you took three incredibly deep games and cliffs notes’d those bad boys into 15 minutes of dense but clear explanation. Well freakin done man
I thought Aldia was the Lothric's teacher, not Sulyvahn. Also it seems Abyss Watchers and Yhorm were willing to rekindle the flame, although Abyss Watchers probably meant to rekindle it after beating Wolnir, and Yhorm not really had much reason not to. Even those two aside, Ludleth was already there to rekindle the flame. Why Cinder woke the Unkindled when there was already Ludleth to rekindle the flame?
Aldia is from a different age so can't be their teacher. Abyss watchers are too mangled into stopping abyss to care to link the flame again. Yhorm doesn't want to link because last time it killed all his people and he is feeling guilty for that.thats why he asks seigward to come and kill him lest he is revived to link again. Ludleth the most complex of them all was forced to be the kindling the first time which in turn destroyed his home ringed city and was thus exiled. He has endured the pain of linking before and is at the very least skeptical of relinking but as he is exiled he has no choice but to take his role.but he doesn't want to ..he wants us to take the dark ending and stop the cycle and thus tests us the whole game. He doesn't feel he has the honor to do the relinking.

It would oddly make sense timeline wise if you tried connecting the souls games (apart from sekiro because it takes place in the real world loosely) but demon souls could have been the very first one of the endings brought forth the age of dark and dragons, then comes dark souls 1-3 we see how light has brought the idea of humanity but it's a lie and due to higher powers telling people that hollow is the end but continuing the cycle which shows how one which dark souls 2 trying to rid themselves of the curse discovers its not possible. Then 3 comes along with the over done cycle and things become increasingly worse we then have two options like the other 2 games the best course would be to either A. Become the hollow lord break the cycle and bring fourth the natural cause or B. Start again let the world turn to ash and begin a new which would bring Elden Ring due to enough time and generations passing the thought of the original world of Arno Londo fading into fantasy and forgotten, while this world not perfect has its own issues, then lastlt comes Bloodborne as one of the endings have been theroiesed of the beginning of Bloodborne world which means Bloodborne and Elden Rings world is in a painting. This is all just speculation and fromsoft to my knowledge haven't confirmed worlds being connected but this is just a fan theory really but it is kinda cool to think about.
This much more immense than I thought and way more grand than I thought, even more grand than elden ring 15:14 I guess I can see how people think that they’re connected
Nameless King is pretty much unanimously agreed to be Gwyn's Firstborn. It's not exactly sure why he's hollowed, but fighting him is the closest we ever get to seeing Prime Gwyn.
Yeah but Yorshka was only revealed in ds3. As was Gwyndolin's mother, who is heavily hinted to be Priscilla through Yorshka and Painter having dragon/snakey traits.
Its like the classic quest for immortality with all of the trials and tribulations retold in many different ways over and over again, But all in the same place
*Gwyndolin didn't choose to present feminine, it was Gwyn's idea. "The power of the moon was strong in Gwyndolin, and thus he was raised as a daughter. " It was probably an excuse to keep him from inheritence and public eye, considering he's got snake legs and white hair and a snakey sister hinting at who his mother is (Priscilla). Despite all that Gwyndolin did his best to honour his father and hangs out in his tomb all day conjuring the illusion of his sister and the sun. Breaks my heart, I ain't even mad I just wish he had more content.
The first flame created disparity, and with that came the formation of different things. Many living things were born of the dark that was created in contrast to the light from the flame
I disagree with the idea that hollowing is humanity's natural form. From ds1 we know the opposite, that humanity is what prevents hollowing. So i'd say hollowing instead signifies the lack of humanity.
This is just speculation on my part but it seems to me that the dark sign is fueled by the age of fire. When it's fading the sign takes hold on people as a desperate attempt to keep the flame burning. But when it fully fades, the dark sign disapears and humans will finally get their mortality back. That's at least how I interpret it.
I wouldn't survive dark souls world, not only because of the creatures roaming Around the place, but mostly from the stench of rotting corpse and the ashes everyone, it's an instant asthma
Brilliantly summarized. Good work, well done. Thank you for your hard work explaining the convoluted lore. I still don't really believe that DS2 is canon though.
If the DLC is in the past, then how could Oolacile be alive in the golden golem in the present? At the end of the DLC after the Manus fight, Oolacile is lying on the ground dying. The DLC being in the past I'd an interesting concept nonetheless, I haven't heard that before.
Also if you take a secret path in the DLC you can find and rescue a younger version of Sif. If you do this before her boss fight, an alternative cutscene will occur where she seemingly recognises you.
So the true ending to it all is starting again, strange definitely ironic way to end the series but a bitter sweet one and makes sense but it seems there is two endings the canon ending and the ending where you become the lord of Hollows
I immensely prefer the direction DS2’s story took compared to 1 and 3. It felt more personal and human. A lot of people say that they didn’t like how insignificant drangleic was, THAT’S exactly why I love it. It also felt like ds2 had the most plot twists and revelations overall. I completely lost my shit when I found out the truth about the queens.
They say that because they don’t like the game because of its many mechanical issues, world design, and lackluster boss design. It absolutely is canon. It added more context to some of the main themes of the trilogy, as well as humanity’s relationship to fire and darkness. I played DS2 last from the trilogy, and when I went to play 3 again I felt like I had a more complete picture of the entire story. Sad the aforementioned issues dragged it down so much in terms of love within the fandom.
Important moral takeaways from the souls series: - your commitment to your unique purpose is your strength - in dark souls, the cycle goes that every attempt to rekindle the flame is an attempt to hold on to the power which people believe makes them strong. Everything fades, nothing lasts forever, which leads to nothing but sorrow. At the heart of the story, the main conflict is the pain of holding on to that which is comfortable. - all sane characters you meet are people driven with purpose. Although they seem to maintain good spirits, they all too eventually die or go hollow. - the answer to how to escape the inevitable failures onset by linking the flame is complex in execution, but simple in intention. Open a new door into the unknown to bring an age of uncertainty. The slim possibility for a better world is arguably better than being subjected to the same nightmare for eternity. - in real life terms, quit the 9-5. Start a UA-cam channel. Join a cult. Get into bitcoin. Learn how to sew fun little hats. Go against the grain. The best characters in Dark Souls are often the most whimsical and extraordinary people.
No ok there is a misandertanding with the dark souls lore , Gwin knew created vuluntarily the darksign ,the the cult of the chosen undead , so the linking of the fire could continue olso after his death , the bell gargoiles , sens’fortress, where a trayal for the chowsen undead’s to come

At the beginning there were trees and dragons: just as in Elden Ring

Wait but why was linking the fire so important.. If it was just a cycle that kept repeating.... Wat did it matter if it was rekindled or not?
To start the dark souls storyline you should probably have started with demon's souls being it started it all,
There’s a few things incorrect with this but impressive nonetheless.
So doe the hollows become more human again after the fire gets kindled
I wonder the name “Dark Souls” was plan for the ending or otherwise?
