I disagree. It isn't their best video by far. They usually have solid theory from start to finish but this is filled with boring observation lacking depth alone true Hawkshaw insight. 90 minutes on colors to reveal nothing? Hardly the DS of videos.
This is probably one of the best in-depth videos ever, the fact that your voice fits well and sounds very intellectual really helps. 9 hours gone just like that
The any% speedrun for the game is currently 24m56s. Accordingly, this game can be completed approx 22 times in the time it takes to watch this lore video.
Damn, I remember right before Elden ring released rewatching all these videos you guys have made hoping there’d be a few cool videos to come out of it, and now there’s a bloody 10 hour compilation, good shit guys
Gotta say I really appreciate this video. Lost my 75 hour elden ring playthrough when I upgraded to ps5 and only just now am able to convince myself to pick it up again, this showed up on my feed at just the right time. You just carried me through a whole shift delivering packages, I appreciate that.
I really like how you open this video with the colour theory. That reminds me the first important piece of the lore, revealed by the developers before release, was that our character is a Tarnished, stripped of the colour gold, instead of red. Looking back, Vaati was really really close knowing now that the primordial gold has a red hue. Your video makes me feel that we’re now at full circle, from the developers’ first lore reveal to the end of the main story development of Elden Ring.
I literally can't get enough of Hawkshaw videos. I re-watch them so often, over and over again. I'm always waiting for the new one, just awestruck about what you guys find every time.
The beginning of this video is making my eyes wet. I've seen so many people being "saved" by those games and Elden Ring was there to carry me as well through some stuff. What a beautiful thing.
I've been having a tough time lately and these games are always very comforting and relaxing, no matter on which playthrough I am, they help bring clarity to my troubled mind and ease the pain.
@@TheCapedCrusader94relaxing? 😂 haha each to their own obviously but relaxing is the last feeling I feel when playing these games 😂, immersed? Absolutely but never relaxed haha
47:13 “The thumb is the most important and creative part of the hand, but only because it so much more unhinged.” 🔥🔥🔥As fire as the yellow chaos flame.
This is my first video after subscribing to your channel. I'm so upset I haven't been here sooner, your voice, your attention to detail and adding info cards for simple confirmation on lore, seriously keep it up!
Thank you so very much for everything you've done in the souls games in terms of lore. Your videos are always incredible, and I'm sure it is a ton of work to create and maintain
Only 30 minutes in and I am stunned, this is gonna be a treat. Of the literal hundreds of hours of lore videos about Elden Ring I've listened to, it is the first one to approach the theme of colors and I really dig it so far. Glad I found this, thanks for the work and cheers!
Talking about how, "Eating red fruits wouldn't change your amount of blood or energy more". There's actually a touch of truth to that. Most red fruits have a higher amount of iron in them, which attributes to their red hue, and iron helps build healthy red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout your body.
10 hours of Elden Ring lore, peak content, this should be put in theaters. Absolute cinema. I love your work on this video, my 1st time seeing your channel.
Hawkshaw, bro, you (and other lore creators) helped me fall in love with Elden Ring even more. I didn’t need much help but Elden Ring is great. The amount of ideas and themes are so deep, it almost makes me want to cry in awe. Random, but I actually plan to get an Elden Ring tattoo. Only my second tattoo.
Do you guys think there is a link between birth/ consummation and great runes? I just did Fia’s quest and it finally struck me that she claims that lying with Godwyn will allow her to birth a child, a great rune. So what does this mean in regard to runes and the Demi god children? Like I can’t see the connection between these words Miyazaki picked for this dialogue but it has to mean something. Just a thought. Great vid! @hawkshaw
2:03:13 Listening to you talk about color in such a professional manner for nearly 2 hours, and then hearing this not even ten minutes later is quite the tone shift if you ask me. 2:03:31 I see why he’s observing so fervently.
Colours : - Red : health and flesh - Amber? : divinity? - Yellow : chaos and frenzy - Green : stamina and animation - Blue : focus and intelligence - Purple : gravity and dreams - White : the endlessness of time - Black : the end of time Metals : - silver : fluidity and mimicry - copper/bronze : willpower - gold : order and power
As I know the full content of this video before even watching 2 minutes it: Like! Love your work, love your creativity and research! Please keep doing what you guys are doing
Amazing video. But I am wondering, I prefer dark souls lore. Will we ever get any DS3 videos? Your way of intepreting the lore is no doubt the best on youtube. I watch the DS1 videos on repeat every day while I fall asleep. But I yearn for more DS lore, and would love DS3 lore videos.
This is literally the most epic game ever made no doubt, Miyazaki literally made something almost impossible in every aspect , no other game makes you feel that way ,it's pure art and I know I'm glazing but I've been playing games for 30 years and this is it .
The colors were a good observation but not an interesting one. "Colors mean stuff." We get it. I feel like 2 hours on that alone was far too much. Especially when you don't have a true "Hawkshaw" theory to go with it.
@@jrodhemi67 I had the same feeling playing elden forma 1st I was overwhelmed massively and I literally needed some guidance,but after that I'm literally using zero guidance and discovering stuff on my own and so far there wasn't a day that I haven't discovered something new wich is crazy
I think there is still more to Dominula we've yet to uncover. It appears to have the same aesthetic as the Shaman villages. Additionally, the Festive Grease grants runes upon attacks just like the Celebrant weapons, and seems uncannily related to the actions of Dominula. The Bonny Village, too, has a snake skin. Adding to your analogy of the skinning ritual.
going in to Elden Ring lore as a TES fan is so wild. Elden Ring: here’s how colour relates to the lore and our understanding of the universe ! 😊😊 Elder Scrolls: “”Go here: world without wheel, charting zero deaths, and echoes singing,” Seht said, until all of it was done, and in the centre was anything whatever. And the Red Moment became a great howling unchecked, for the Provisional House was in ruin. And Vivec became glass, a lamp, for the dragon’s mane had broke, and the red moon bade him come.”
There is a theory about that of Radahn vs Morgot in 3:38:33, where that is not Morgot defeating Radahn, but rather a metaphor of Morgot's forces defeating Radahn. Morgot and Melania both knew that they wouldnt be able to defeat Radahn. He was simply too strong of a fighter, and a clever one that that too. Also, from what I seen from in game and sources of lore searching, I don't think Radahn is greedy for power, but rather greedy for a fight. Everyone of his key soldiers mentions that Radahn is someone who iches for a fight, and that he is super honorable. He wants to fight so much to the point where je summons Estals as a mini fight for him - which makes Radahn stronger each time too.
GOOD LORD MAN I'm replaying dark souls but once I'm done doing the trilogy jammin to lokey dark souls I'm coming straight here for the elden ring lore 😂 what a time to be alive gawd damn
Would be great to have some fromsoftware recognition. Amazing to have this gem of a video. Still in the middle of it. Hope to have an explanation to Marika's sainthood & betrayal but doubt it 😅
If radagon is Marika yet that makes them both lord and god, elden rings connection to the erdtree and elden beast. They made it so hard to solve for great minds such as hawkshaw’s to have to work overtime. ❤😂
Kinda ironic that chaos flame has a purpose, to destroy order. I wonder if true chaos is a force without purpose but then it wouldn’t really be chaos bc it can only hold its identity of chaos in being opposed to order. How tragic and paradoxical.
Amber Draught is actually used... on Horax Loux. Talisman of Lord's Bestowal says that Horax 'accepted the sap stoically, without any sign of wavering.' Image shows sap on Talisman is Amber... Marika stole his fate and made him her puppet. No wonder such testosterone juggernaut accepted so many awful deeds from her without rebeling.

1 1/2 hours in: "now that we know the basic"
And worse, we didn't learn anything in that 90 minutes. Colors could have taken 90 seconds.
@@jrodhemi67eat shit.
This is the greatest lore video ever compiled. Well done Hawkshaw you are the greatest lore theorist of soulsborne by a country mile.

There definitely is some connection in this
I know the game has to keep things somewhat age appropriate , but Fia’s hugs were more than just hugs.
the only elden ring video you can fall asleep to, and still hear sweet lore when waking up the next morning
"Oh boy cant wait to hear the backstory of all my favorite characters" *2 hours of color theory* (im not hating i just thought it was funny)

No St. Trina though please lol
Something to keep me entertained during this hurricane
Please be safe my fellow Tarnished
God bless twin be safe beware butt hole
Thank you boys we made it safe, got power back on and am now going to enjoy this masterpiece
Gonna fall asleep listening to this and rinse and repeat until all of the lore is imprinted on my brain matter.

9 hours bro... congratulations seriously.
haven't even watched it yet but liked & subbed for the 9 hour playtime. we will sleep well this night
keeping me from going hollow, thanks as always Hawkshaw
I appreciate your guys work it's awesome thank you
I’m so in love with the Zelda music at 50:55 omg
This is literally the most epic game ever made no doubt, Miyazaki literally made something almost impossible in every aspect , no other game makes you feel that way ,it's pure art and I know I'm glazing but I've been playing games for 30 years and this is it .
Its true. Nothing even close has ever been achieved. Tho DS III remains my desert island FROM game if had to choose
Thanks for putting this so concisely.
It's a great game but Dark Souls 1 still gets my vote. I can't get into the story of Elden Ring like I can Dark Souls.
The colors were a good observation but not an interesting one. "Colors mean stuff." We get it. I feel like 2 hours on that alone was far too much. Especially when you don't have a true "Hawkshaw" theory to go with it.

Amazong music choices in this video, really impressive ❤️
love the use of the subnautica music at the 30 min mark
I think there is still more to Dominula we've yet to uncover. It appears to have the same aesthetic as the Shaman villages. Additionally, the Festive Grease grants runes upon attacks just like the Celebrant weapons, and seems uncannily related to the actions of Dominula.
The Bonny Village, too, has a snake skin. Adding to your analogy of the skinning ritual.

Oh baby this gonna take me whole month to finish
Me: It's getting kinda late, I should go to bed

i hope there’s dlc color theory here or in the works! regardless i’m eating this up
Understanding the lore of Elden Ring is like solving an ARG
My watch later playlist:
Please. Don't do this. No more, please. I can't take it. PLEASE! 😭🤕
Just starting, hope it's good
2 seconds in and I already love the video

Wait 5 hours. I just finished the lore of bayle over at vaati. This is my dessert. 🎉🎉🎉
that´s a lot of lore

Absolute cinema
9.5 hours???
Gunna have to sleep to this one a couple of times at least
I just finished the 5 hour video let's gooo
sleeping watch time gonna go crazy on this videos stats
I needed an excuse to not sleep tonight thankyou
I hear that cheeky little bit of Porter Robinson in there, Hawk. Nice music taste =)
Thanks !
Ouuu we sleeping good and not letting the voices in the silence get to us this week
