  • Dark Souls Lore is always hard to uncover, but Eidas is not even a name many know... even though you've already met him. What is his lore? Why is he important? Has he been involved with the Nameless Blacksmith Deity? Is he in leagues with Seath and the power of Crystals?

    Quick question, with some of my own thoughts: If the crossbows name has the meaning “longed for child,” could it be that the Nameless Blacksmith Deity didn’t just find an apprentice in Eidas, but a child of his own? I’ve pondered on this for some time now watching your lore videos, and to me it just clicks. Eidas is mentioned but once in the game, in the item description for Aevelyn, and to say that it’s a gift for the birth of Eidas’s child is a bit of a leap of faith when there’s no supporting evidence that he had exterior relationships. However, going under the assumption that during his apprenticeship, the Namless Blacksmith Deity formed a paternal bond with Eidas. Viewing him not just as an apprentice, but his own child. And when Eidas was bestowed this great gift it was meant as “you are my longed for child,” a son he passed his life’s work on to.

    • @salahad-din9168
      @salahad-din9168 4 роки тому +49

      The name of Avelyn makes sense with the GG being a haephestus figure. Maybe his Abnormalities extended so far as to make him unable to have children, and so made Eidas his child.

  • @Hawkshaw
    @Hawkshaw  4 роки тому +309

    Note, the crystal ember shows that whilst Seath invested it, it must have been worked with by "the giant God's blacksmiths" at some point. The grammar here implying:
    - Seath has at least taken the ember back, even if we don't know hw stole it, as it was with these blacksmiths at some point.
    - "The giant God's blacksmiths" means the blacksmiths of the Giant God, that is, the blacksmiths who work under the Giant God. Thus, the two we meet, being the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo and Eidas, would fit this description. With the evidence of blacksmiths in the Archives, Eidas is the only living being there who could possibly be using the crystal ember, again showing Eidas was apprentice to the Nameless Blacksmith Deity.

      @@TohGahr I get what ur saying. These guys are the best. But unfortunately dark souls 3 lore is too messy to parce out. Whoever did the lore for that game tried wayyy too hard to connect everything to everything without good reasons. It’s kinda hard to explain....but basically any lore searching u do in dark souls 3 connects to like 3 or 4 different DS1 /DS2 lore plots without explanation. Don’t get me wrong I love dark souls 3. But the lore is a mess

      I think it’s an important thing to know about the NBD that in the original Japanese, the word used to describe Titanite Demons is different from the word that they use to describe the Chaos Demons. Using the word “demon” to describe Titanite Demons was a translator choice, but the word used is more like “mysterious creature”

    Hey Hawkshaw, I really hope you see this. Big fan of yours, love your interpretations on the lore. Although something has been brought to my attention that might mess with a previous point you've made.
    Looking back at one of your videos, I remember you mentioned the idea of Gwyn not being aware that Gwyndolin was even alive, rather that Gwyn had left to fight the demons before his birth, the Guinevere had left during that time, and the Gwyndolin had then formed a faux relationship with his father through an illusory Guinevere proxy.
    I always thought this idea was nice, and it wrapped up a variety of plot points nicely. Unfortunately, it might have ended up disproven. I created a reddit thread a while ago, can't remember for what reason, but I remember someone responding to me that artwork exists in-game disproving your claim. Spent like three days trying to find it until someone else finally did.
    In Dark Souls III, the artwork for the piece of parchment paper the lies behind every spell icon shows a depiction of Gwyn, addressing his knights, with Gwyndolin standing at his side. Below I will link both the reddit thread as well as an imgur link of the exact artwork.
    I truly do hope you see this comment, as I would very much like to hear your response to this. Glad you're back, and have a great one!
