Love this new set of Armor for your character
Neat, that's my name!
Sei grande! This should be canon, great work!
That dragon is now forever called Federico
Dammit matt, now I feel bad for stealing Frederico’s tail for that sweet bonk hammer. I’M SORRY FREDERICO!!!
Love how you gave Lautrec four arms because his armor has two embracing him.
My ENGLISCH is even improved! \[T]/
ITZ DE BEST! No but seriously, thank you so much dude for being a part of this, you're always hilarious!
Oh snap I need to re-watch it now, I totally missed it because of the cute dragon
Sei troppo forte Paride!
I gotta ask (just for the meme):
Where's Dark Souls Misadventures Episode 3???
It's going to be the Half Life 3 of Dark Souls isn't it?
Piccola aggiunta per gli amici italiani alla fine del video ahahah
The Warrior Set in Dark Souls 1 is found on a corpse in the Gaping Dragon's boss room. This video was backstory lore all along. Amazing. Also, you really did an amazing job capturing the motions of the Channeler, and the lines and voice acting for the Crestfallen Warrior and Domhnall were extremely fitting. Great work man!
Thank you dude, so glad you appreciated all these details, and also the talented voice actors! ^^
Deepest lore
There is also a Warrior Armor set found in the water by the Hydra near the tower/shortcut to Great Wolf Siff. The Elite Knight Set is found in the Dark Root Garden before the Moonlight Butterfly fight.
@@Bowen_Windcalibur It's the standard Knight Set next to the Darkroot Basin Hydra, not the Warrior Set.
I believe the official lore was more along the lines that the gaping dragon was a twisted, mutated, offshoot of the main dragon lineage
OMG!! the lore. That's why there is a corpse with that armor there. THE LORE IS AWESOME
He die by get shot by Channelers // Like SIF . . FEDERICOO just guards He Master Corpse . . .
Oh yeh. This series gonna be almost as lit as gwyn himself.
Underrated comment.
@@Count_Meowza thanks
I nearly choked on my kebab bcus of ur comment. Have my like.
Almost as lit as the bonfire
Sunlight 4 Life!
That Zelda CDI reference at the beginning was hard to watch, but didn´t stop me. Great Work Shez!!
Never played Zelda CDI (but I did watch Angry Nerd's review of both games). I thought that reference looked familiar lol.
I really got a kick out of that part, he nailed the crappy animation of that game perfectly. 🤣
Well EXXXCUUUSSEEEE MEEEEEE PRINCESS!
I was scared the whole style of the video would be like that
I got so triggered by that, but still funny as hell!!
Wasn't expecting this gem today but I will take it .
You are great at animation and story telling as whole. You have inspired me to purse my dreams of animation and making manga. And you have even inspired me to finish every Dark Souls game and Bloodborne along with Demon’s Souls Remastered and finally Sekiro Shadows Die twice. One day I hope my animation can be as visual stunning as yours. I am a huge fan and keep up the breathtaking work.
Thank you Kerem, this is such a nice message...I'm speechless now. I wish you the best dude, thanks for sharing your appreciation, it made my day!
Karem Im a Trainee comic artist my self and while it is true that they are very different art styles they both have one law that rules them both THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT so keep the good work up Best of luck and blessings from Puerto Rico fellow artist I look forward to reading your work!.
harbiden iyi mesaj aga
"As whole" sounds likea dark souls-made insult hehe
ill say good luck most on demon souls. its only harder i think in remaster LIKE the second ds game is with its scolare of the first sin ed.
The gaping dragon has one of the most memorable introductions in the entire series imo. What appears as a crocodile in the distance just gets more and more fucked up looking as it makes its entrance. It certainly was intimidating when I first saw it.
Federico has changed, his soul was consumed by the abyss, poor little creature
More like sewage waste and Seath-brand dance fever.
Vaati analysis when XD
@Aziria Shingen That body in the boss room has its helmet. Safe to say that ol' Freddy brought it back up before he brought a giant claw down on that warrior's head.
@@nightscout9979 Actually Miyazaki had this to say about the Gaping Dragon
"It's a little different from the other dragons in the world, it's part of an ancient race of mineral based life forms, existing since long before the emergence of mankind, yet, despite its superiority over us, its time has passed, and it finds itself alone in the world, the last of its race forced to survive in any way it can. As to what triggered this change… well, the emergence of life corrupted it, it was warped by emotion and desire…"
@@theonewhoismany8072 Miyazaki and co. have said quite a few things about the Gaping Dragon. The boss' designer said that the dragon changed due to starvation and needing to find whatever even remotely edible things it could while in hiding.
''Look at that cute dragon over there"
yep
that's Solaire alright
Damn dude. You got me in the beginning there for a second. But like always, your animation is absolutely flawless.
Dark Souls animations will never get old - please, keep cranking out that magic!
Aww thank you dude :>
I will forever refer to my favorite boss as Federico now.
(Also laughed out loud at the CDI bit! That was spot on!)
Great work my dude!
What is Federico? It’s been a while since I’ve played
@@French_Toast_Avali .the gaping dragon
Fantastic as always. The backgrounds are beautiful, the details of the environment are really well done, and the visual comedy is on point. Love your work.
That's so nice of you...thank you so much ç_ç you made my day! ^^
Man I love this so much
Good to see you here! Love your content XD
Everyone’s reaction to seeing the Gaping dragon for the first time, “Oh it’s just a little crocodile thingy this won’t be that ba.... Oh god... OH F#*K!!!!”
Vore souls
That was pretty much how I reacted too lol
nah it's more of "ok.... where's the rest of it.... or the thing that eats it... oh ok there's the rest"
Glad to see your still doing Dark Souls animations
My head canon is that Solaire and Lautrec get eaten and then in the "belly" of the gaping dragon there's the events of "I'm into the abyss" (The video from ThePruld) that are happening.
there is no belly
Yes I said "belly" because I didn't know what to call it
How would Lautrec be in ornstein and smough's arena of he got eaten by the dragon
Homeward bone xD
I'd recognize that beautiful Italian accent anywhere, it's the Canon voice of Solaire to me
“Big room means Big Boss”
Hey, that reference is pretty good Shez...
pretty... good
ahab?
If only Big Boss said "Call me Snake." While he was peeking.
I always love the background details, such as that eye test (I saw what you did there...), they are really a sign of your effort to make these videos. Grandissimo, come al solito!
Magnificent and hilarious backstory for Gaping Dragon, thank you for your animation!
Federico!! WHY!!??
Now this is an amazing animation. Kudos, Shez!
Now I will feel bad everytime i fight Federico.
Look forward to your Eldenring spinoff. :)
“Spinoff” you mean masterpiece?
That Will be called, the Elder Ring😂
@@riannon8925 nah, Elden Dougnut
Senile ring
10 seconds into the animation and you already managed to make us laugh! You are a wonderful storyteller and a great comedian, I look forward to seeing more and hopefully your works will be exposed to a bigger audience!
I've been waiting fo this! Great work as always my dude!
Your dork souls animations are the best I've ever seen anywhere! It'll be so awesome if Dork Souls animation was a legit series lol awesome work! Oh my, look how Federico has grown! The wonders of puberty.
Thanks dude! haha the wonders of puberty lmao
Always great to see an animators animation be this smoothe, keep on the great work shez
was that lore in this top tier animation, by the gods.. Can't wait to see more my guy!
OMG! SHEZZZ!! This is so good, well done making this so fast, I really can't wait for more!!! And Federico is just so cuuuuuute!! ☺️
Thank you Bec!!! I knew you'd love Federico XD
who ever thought that Gaping Dragon was a cutie pie and his name was "Federico"?
so much lore over there ❤
First time I saw this boss my thought was "Bullsh*t. There's no way that's it in a game like this. I'm waiting for the other alligator shoe to drop". And boy did it drop. This short was amazing, by the way. Really great work, through and through.
Thank you man ^^ haha
3:55 oh gods, you gave Lautrec’s armor the ability to sheesh
And thus we finally learn the origin of the Gaping Dragon, also known under the fearsome name of Federico. 😁
Man, thanks a bunch. I hadn't thought to see a new Dork Souls video
The animation looks amazing as usual!
My gosh... about 4 times the amount of content I was expecting from each of these shorts.
You're a legend, mate. Keep being awesome!
"CDI Matthew can't hurt you he's not real"
CDI Matthew: *exists*
Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
ahahaahhahahahahaahah
Your animation and art style is getting better and better, and that petrified animation in the beginning was super clean even the touch lighting was perfect. I can't wait to see more
Amazing work man, glad I could be a part of it!
SEJ! I can't even. You have an incredible talent dude. I feel so lucky I was able to work with you! Thank you so much for your Ingward and Crestfallen impression. Top tier!
Made my day this video! Another amazing animation Matthew! Love the big boss bit 😂 cant wait for next one! Much love 💝💝💝
Thank you so much! :)
Love the Zelda Adventures reference for the Phillips CDi.. yeah "THAT" Phillips had a console young people 😆
Bruh everyone knows about the cdi regardless of their age because of the infamy of the damn thing, because lord knows nobody bought that thing when it was actually new and found out about it that way
Me: *coughing and whistling as i thought it was also a Dragon's Lair reference*
Your animations don't disappoint they're just really fantastic
The video I didn't knew I wished for today.
Animations are high quality, as always, details are great.
And I really liked sound here, very smooth, voice acting is good.
Wow thank you man that's really flattering.
Perfect thing to fill my heart with joy before work.
More top notch animation Matthew Shezmen! Well worth the wait, i am excited to see more Keep up the fantastic work👍!
I did not expect to see this in my recommended after I’ve recently finished my third play through of dark souls remastered.
I love your little notes of Italian you put in your videos. Very charming and that Zelda inspired into at the beginning was so good man.
Da ora in poi il suo nome canonico sarà Federico. Lavoro impeccabile come sempre!! Sei un grande,
Awesome animation as always, I really dig those shorts maybe you shold keep doing it like that.
I really like the small details you always put in your animations: the headcrab at the butcher's diner, the upper section of your character's armor changing faces and many more.
Great job as always looking forward for more!
Incredible as ever dude , this is great🌚♥️
Great stuff as always, Mr. Shezmen. I've really been enjoying the recent content. :)
An origin story we all craved for.. truly satsfying
One of my favorite bosses, love the track that plays as you fight it too, honestly one of my most favorite boss tracks.
"An elite quality content platform like UA-cam" plus the look into the camera had me rolling 😂
Elite content ONLY.......... XD
You are an amazing artist, Shez and I wished that UA-cam wouldn't have that kind of monopoly as a content platform. I am still thankful though that we get to watch you awesome animations. Thanks for all your work entertaining us!
Im glad your back in the series of parody dork soul,your animation work is kinda satisfied to watch 😲
Since the Gaping Dragon's boss room has the Warrior Armor set it seems Frederico's owner either got killed by the Channeler OR he stayed till the end waiting for Frederico's return
Loving it Matthew! Awesome work as always!
Shez, your animations inspired me to beat DS3, and I'm certain they'll help me through 1 and 2.
if uve beat ds3 and its dlcs, ds 1 and 2 will be a complete joke for u
these are always looking better and better my man, love to see it
Job well done with this parody short! I really liked it! I kind of wonder if there will be one with the Chosen Undead facing down Manus in the DLC of Dark Souls 1. (I actually have the Remastered Edition…)
It always makes my day getting to watch your videos
0:30 OMG for a moment I thought you hired the Zelda Series animators!!!
this makes me so happy missed these so much Matt man
Vaati's Prepare to cry has nothing on this lore(and these feels)
Shez, its been wonders seeing how good your art is getting better with each parody, from witchar to sekiro the art is amazing, keep it up man!
0:45 "Big room is big boss", metal gear solid fans will get this
A the very end I was like "What happens to the guy taking care of him?" then I realized, THE GUY IS WEARING THE HARD LEATHER ARMOR FOUND IN THE BOSS ARENA
La bestemmia finale è pura arte
I flipping love you’re animations dude 🤣
He's back at it again!
I didn't expect anything less than an incredibly done animation with plenty of laughs and fun easter eggs/references. You are top of the stack my friend, thank you for all your hard work. I know I speak for everyone when I say that we greatly appreciate it. 🤘
Thanks dude, such a nice message
@@Shezmen88 no problem brother. It also helps that I know you are a fellow guitarist and metal fan, so you get bonus points in my opinion for that. 🤘
I never thought about Dark souls with animal companions. This seems too good to be true 😭🥺
Your Dark Souls Parodys are my favourites
More Dork Souls shorts please!!!
Wow this is fluid as water, u have seriously improved, also noticed the audio much better, gonna go binge watch ur other animated now lolll
For who's wondering: federico is the italian counterpart for fredrick
Yooooo thanks shez I'm glad your still keeping up with dork souls stuff
I love how the dark souls community just acepted that solaire and lautrec are disfuntional partners
Awesome cartoon. This format works just as good as long walkthrough parodies
"Lo gioco da una distanza di sicurezza perché mi fa un po' schifo"
Citazione di classe
Citazione molto di classe. Grande Yotobi/Carim
ur animations are just getting better and better, im definitely waiting for you to make ur own studio
Now I don't want to pass through the Depths again. ;w;
Who would want to hurt a gentle soul like little Frederico?
Awsome animation man!!
I hope this reaches millions of views
And now we know how the Gaping Dragon came to be: due to Shez being an irresponsible pet owner! xD (joking lol, great video!)
Been waiting for this one, keep it going my dude!
I like the fact Federico has a belly button despite being a dragon, that is like a reptile and so probably born from an egg, because a belly button it's literally a second mouth, so makes somehow still sense
Oh god you guys are above and beyond my comprehension of fantasy XD
GOD YOUR ANIMATION HAS GOTTEN SO GOOD I LOVE IT
I'm not quite sure Smough and Ornstein are into this though.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love these and I’m glad you’re still doing them. I wasn’t expecting to see in my feed this at all but now I’m glad I saw that. Thank you for the great work
Excellent work as always. Also, that message on the eye exam chart was great
0:19 I thought it was BT?!
Very good job you did there, made me smile a lot the first time. On the second time I even laughed when I noticed the eye chart. And the longer I was reading it the harder I was laughing.
This whole video is just Florida
XD this killed me
I pressed like already before watching cause I expected it to be good! And it was! Great work again! :)
Can you please make another movie. Demon Souls when you can
Loved this Shez! Looking forward to more in the future!
