I am he who is known as Gloopy Long Legs, I had no clue this was you 😂 I’m so stoked to see our epic battle, it truly is the Bonks we meet along the way ❤
Really silly how everyone keeps fighting about dark souls 2, people can dislike it, people can like it. It all comes down to personal preferences, and compared to the other games, dark souls 2 is simply the closest to being a different genre.
Some very awesome details Jack forgot to mention I'd like to mention myself. Everytime you took the very big Plunges in Dreg Heap you went back in time, the first big plunge takes you to Dark souls 2, as Jack said the fire lady is a character in that game. And when you drop to the Demon Princes which Lorian killed, you're at Dark Souls 1, dropping literally into Firelink Shrine in ds1. And then you go even further in time to the Ring City back when Gwyn was Alive I think? In the Painting of Ariandel, it is a Painting inside the painting of Ariames, the Painting of Ariames rotted and fell to ruin same as Ariandel, so Father made a new world written on Ariames. And we are making the Third Painting, where we can have a world inside where everything has Ended.
It took me several days to watch this entire thing. I'm so happy to see Seán play the game that got me into the souls-borne games. I had never completed the game on my own ever, so I was absolutely amazed to finally play it again and destroy everything on a new playthrough using the BONK build. As someone who has 100% Bloodborne and Elden Ring, I will happily say, Darksouls 3 will be added to that list very soon. Thanks Seán!
@@KavsLockedOut Is she his daughter? She refers to him as "uncle Gael" all the time. I know that it's implied that the painter girl is the daughter of Crossbreed Priscilla, but I never heard anything about Gael being her father.
I said this exact thing when I was fighting Gael for the first time recently. Thought I was a genius for describing it like that but apparently I heard it from somewhere and gaslit myself into thinking I said it first
The kid from the painting mentioning Gael made me tear up, having the player kill someone then going back to another character who knew them and is waiting for them always gets me.
Since you brought up the time travel aspect, I thought you might find this anecdote amusing. Some time ago, I ran a Dark Souls tabletop game (D&D) where I leaned in to the time is messed up aspect to bring in all my favorite stuff from all three games. I also let my players choose between original characters and existing NPCs, so our party consisted of the Emerald Herald, Solaire, Lucatile, and the dead Witch of Izaleth whose clothes you steal from Ceaseless Discharge. At first, things went well - the party wandered through areas from various Dark Souls games confused and disoriented and fighting horrors of various sorts. However, because my players are smarties, they picked up on time being weird and started using it to their advantage. The Witch of Izalith character, for example, found a bonfire that was farther back in time and used it to reach Izalith before the upper area became blight town and save her sisters - they were still spider-demons, but they were no longer slowly dying/insane. Solaire, meanwhile, used did the same to find the Nameless King (who I decided was the 'Sun' he was looking for) before he fell. By the time the party had finished, they'd unmade basically all of Dark Souls canon and brought the age of fire crashing down around them - it was insane and hilarious. The lesson? Never ever give D&D players access to time travel. And, if you do, sit back, have a drink, and enjoy watching the world burn. Or, in this case, stop burning (age of darkness).
hey jack been listening to your Fromsoft game playthroughs as background noise when im studying. Been having a pretty shit semester in college but your playthroughs have been helping out immensely to keep me sane. Keep up the good work man and thank you so much!
I’m absolutely in love with these ridiculously long gameplay videos because i get to watch them at my own pace instead of relying on the UA-camr to drop another episode. Sean is doing everything right.
You also don’t have to deal with multiple vids getting broken up by other slightly related content that might interrupt the flow. And if you are using them as background noise/stimulation while doing other things, you don’t have to touch anything or look up other vids for a while
@@gloomygloomstalker3878This is exactly why I’ve been enjoying them. I can draw with them in the background and don’t have to deal with the annoyance of repeatedly being interrupted because I have to find a new video.
I love these longer videos! I have never seen any Dark Souls game and know practically none of the lore, so thank you Jack for describing little details as you go along! Watching you play these games has been an extremely immersive experience. ❤
Love how in the dark souls 1 video Sean says there’d have to be a lot of want for him to do dark souls 2. Then this opens with “I’m going them all, even dark souls 2”. Can’t wait to watch them all 😊
@@joberk3DS2 is pretty much majority voted to be the worst soulsborne game ever. I can attest, the way that game plays just felt awful to me. I beat it, but it just felt bitter with how much I struggled more than I usually would at a soulsborne game
Ok so just gonna clarify a couple things 1. The lords of cinder refused to do it because there was 0 reason to link the flame. The twin princes didn't do it because they KNEW there was nothing in it for them. The abyss watchers didn't because the flame didn't keep the abyss at bay, so why do it? Aldritch didn't do it because he was basically stuff'd into the first flame because he was INCREDIBLY strong at the time. And Yhorm didn't because he had nothing left to protect, so why link it if it wouldn't be able to protect his loved ones? 2. The princes DID succeed in letting the fire fade, because originally you never actually got called from your grave (untended graves is what the original timeline was) but since fire and time are so closely related or maybe because of the guy we meet who actually was willing to link the flame again, we end up getting called. 3. Ashen ones are the "ash" of those who failed to link the fire (they just got dumped as kindling into the first flame instead of being able to link it, they got their ass handed to them by SoC) given life. And called by the toll of the bell to head to firelink shrine, where they are told what to do. You of course are the only one who is supposed to link the flame, the others got called to finish their job when it comes to their beef with the lords of cinder (Anri and Horace, Siegward and that other guy are a good example of those who only were called to slay 1 lord of cinder.) while we were called to basically kill every boss in our path. We kill literally everything, we kill gods, god devourers, dragons (bootleg ones not real ones) and a TON of other random beasts and tough opponents. Like, we had no reason to go to archdragon peak. We just went there and killed people that were just chilling there. There ya go, 2 important facts to help clarify some stuff.
Actually, the Ashen ones are the ones who managed to get to the flame to link it, but on trying they got burned to ash instead of serving as fuel like the ones who successfully linked the flame. That's why they're awakened: they are those who managed to reach the flame, and just lacked the strength to fuel it. That's why the Keeper gives you the ashes of the lords before you go into the Kiln, so as to make you strong enough to successfully link it this time.
@@NeroCM yes... thats what I said, the ashen ones are the ones who made it there but failed at the last step and basically just got dumped into the flame and turned into ash, they couldnt "kindle it" they just kinda choked at the end and got turned into ash to be resurrected to finish the job.
@@duckyduckington9736You said "they got their ass handed to them by SoC" which is not at all what happened. They reached the flame like a proper candidate, like the Chosen undead in DS1, but when they reached into the flame to link it instead of becoming a bit of extra fuel they got incinerated instead. To be fair, the lore isn't really clear on why the chosen undead, or the bearer of the curse, would be strong enough to link the fire while the ashen one originally could, or why the ashen one ends up being able to do it at the end of DS3 when they weren't before. Is it that some times, when the fire fades, there aren't gods and demons around to kill, so the champions who try to link it manage to reach the flame without collecting enough souls to do it? ... Are all the people who win the lvl 1 challenge the ashen ones we play as in DS3?
@@NeroCM im sorry to break it to you, but we have like jack and shit to work with for "confirmation" what is true though is that they most definitely got turned to ash by the first flame. Whether failing to beat the soul of cinder or beating him. Both are technically correct, we have no way of knowing which is wrong. So we both right okay?
@@duckyduckington9736... No, we do know. If someone fails to defeat the Soul of Cinder, they just die and have to try again. And again and again, until they either win or go fully hollow. The ashen ones used to be undead like everyone else. If they couldn't defeat SoC they'd just go hollow. It's only because they could defeat it and reach the flame to try and link it that they could burn to ash like they did.
Took me a few days but i finished the video!! i loved the existentialism discussion and how you can find a connection to your views through such a viscerally beautiful game. Can't wait to watch you play Bloodborne again! your enjoyment of it made it one of my favorite games to watch people play, so thank you!
Jack: I wanna show the game. Also Jack: Accidentally gets some cool NPC side quests killed. We will sadly never know the full extent of his love for this game.
" I wanna show the game " Side quests are like the dungeon master making up stories when the party starts going backwards down the dirt path they start on
"I wanna show the game." Meanwhile Yoel: Level up'd once and died Yuria: Never showed up Anri: Unmarried Orbeck: Never made it to Shrine Cornyx: Saved and forgotten Patches: Butted in once, Lapp never even mentioned Siegward: 😭 Greirat: Sent to death Irina: Who?
I am not even gonna lie this took me like three days to finish. And I just got done watching your last dark souls video and Elden ring. I’m loving this streak we have going so far séan
Its taking me like a week at this point. I keep watching it til i fall asleep. Then, the next night, i have to find the spot i fell asleep at again. Its a whole thing. But im determined to finish this.
I was following almost everything you did, I'm so happy you did this game this is one of my favorite from soft games so when I saw you made a playthrough I was stoked!

LETS GOOOOOO! I literally already rewatched the full Dark Souls play through yesterday. I even went back to Bloodborne and Elden Ring. I’ve been waiting for this.
Ah, the duality of dark souls. "At the end of time, the end of space, when all turns to ash and cinder and old heroes throw down their arms. What has become of these dying worlds? The festering decay eating away waits for no one. Through flame and shadow, advance and decide the fate of all." And "Hejhe big rock go bomnk" Art, in its purest form.
The most beautiful example of art I can think of. When two people, equally the same as they are different, can come to both the deepest, profound conclusion, and the stupidest most simple result in the world, and ultimately both walk away with similar or completely different experiences of the art piece.
Took me a while to finish this video. But after watching the whole thing I think I can easily say this is one of my favorite videos from you. I love the game and I think you just did an amazing job going through everything and explaining. All why kicking the games ass
bosses: iudex gundyr 9:30 vordt of the boreal valley 36:40 curse-rotted greatwood 1:02:33 crystal sage 1:49:05 deacons of the deep 2:14:10 abyss watchers 2:40:43 high lord wolnir 2:58:40 pontiff sulyvahn 3:30:50 old demon king 4:04:22 aldrich, devourer of gods 4:07:39 yhorm the giant 4:34:07 dancer of the boreal valley 4:36:56 oceiros, the consumed king 4:48:58 champion gundyr 4:57:13 dragonslayer armour 5:17:49 twin princes 5:45:48 ancient wyvern 5:56:08 nameless king 6:09:28 sister friede 6:49:40 champion gravetender & gravetender great wolf 7:05:58 demon prince 7:18:16 spears of the church 7:57:18 darkeater midir 8:01:25 slave knight gael 8:14:58 soul of cinder 8:31:54
Something I find fascinating is that the Hollowslayer Greatsword, which, as you might guess, does extra damage to Hollow enemies only gets its damage bonus during the Slave Knight Gael fight when he enters his 2nd phase. This is a lore statement made clearly and emphatically through a mechanical change, the best kind of rpg storytelling. It implies that the only thing keeping him sane was the goal of retrieving the blood of the dark soul, and when he realized he had succeeded, he immediately lost it and went Hollow. What makes that even more interesting is the fact that Gael goes from fighting like a beast when sane to fighting like a man when Hollow. As though losing his mind made him draw on his origins as a knight to fill in a gap in his present self perception.
I think the same happens to the Nameless King in phase 2 of his fight where the Hollowslayer sword gets the damage bonus there too. The Nameless King having to put his beloved Stormdrake down ended up making him go Hollow
I always thought when we go into phase 2, he goes completely hollow, his will/conscious leaves him, and his body (including his brain and memories) is taken over by the Dark Soul inside him. Minus you, a Ringed Knight, and Shira, it's safe to say he pretty much has all that's left of the Dark Soul to obtain, and its raw power is enough to call actual lightning down from the sky, not Gwyn's fake "condensed sunlight" lightning
Thank you Jack for making these. Your elden ring series got me into the soulslike genre and I've loved playing slightly ahead of where you're at alongside you, feels like playing a game when you were younger with a friend.
Man, the ending with gael and the painter ALWAYS hits so damn hard. The entire story, the entire franchise with all its insane stories and journeys ends in such a somber, understated way. Hidden in a closet in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of another universe, begins a gentle new one. Thanks to just 3 people who have made it to the end of time. You, gael and the painter. Such a fucking amazingly well written end.
I definitley enjoyed watchin this, cant wait for the next Fromsoft playthrough. Been watchin this in and out when I get off from work and as a another commenter said its like playin a game after a weeks worth of school. Love the content Seán ❤
These long play-throughs are the definition of cosy. It takes me back to a simpler time when you're a kid. You and a buddy get together on a lazy Sunday and try to finish your favourite game in one sitting. The thought of school the next day looms, and god forbid you need to wait a week (a whole week!?) to complete the game the following weekend. Your friend has just read the latest gaming magazine, so he knows all the latest lore and the tips and tricks. You're both so excited to discover the rumoured secret passage way mentioned in an article with the blurry low-res photos. Bliss... Thank you for this Seán, keep up the great work!
Watched DS1 lets play and this one back to back and its such a feelgood video to have on the side. Editing is very funny, the way jack hands out the lore is very interesting, the reading of some equipment is always nice. Ive played Bloodborne and Elden Ring but no DS and honestly a new Bloodborne video would be rad. I actually picked up Bloodborne after watcher Sean play it and it was a hardous journey. Im more of a cozy comfort gamer like Gab often plays so it was a nice change of pace. On my second run of ER atm and always so fun, I rewatch the Bloodborne and ER playlists all the time. Keep going Sean and thank you for rekindling the flame for everyone.
So thankful Jack makes these kinds of long videos. I’m not even necessarily a fan of these types of games, I’m terrible at them. But watching Jack enjoy himself playing a game he loves while I’m sick for is truly a blessing.
i dont think theres actually another youtuber who i could sit down for 8 hours straight and watch with such enjoyment, i'm so excited for the videos to come i can't wait
@@connallcunningham7398 Considering it was the secondary studio and the only flaw the game has is broken hitboxes/adaptability, its heavily overhated. Great game that just isn't on par with the other 2, but still amazing and fun.
@@connallcunningham7398 I’ve never played ds2, but from what I’ve heard it just seems like Dark Souls 2 had a lot of mechanics that were too much to handle for newer players (I-frames being tied to a stat, Bonfire estects) and also some of the hit boxes were… less than fantastic
Finally got round to watching this after putting it off for a while (2 hours in while writing this) and wanted to pop down into the comments and express just how much I and others like this 1 game 1 vid series you are doing!

Fun fact, Sean's theory at about 7:00:00, the black hole thing, that's more or less what the Big Crunch theory is. At least, the Big Crunch is the idea that the universe will at some point stop expanding and coalesce back into a single point; it's the reverse process of the Big Bang, basically
7:18:00 Swords like that actually exist. They are called executioners sword. They are way too heavy and unwieldy for combat, but can cleave a head of easily, which is what they were designed and used for.
Hey Jack, fun fact about the dog teleport! Their model unloads when your not looking at them so when the game data reads that they are attacking it summons their model right next to you since its AI behaves that if its attacking it must be in range and just teleports them over
So the dogs are just weeping angles. Don't ever take your eyes off them. (Or for the young whipper snappers that don't know Dr Who - like a coil head from Lethal Company)
@@BirdyBoi6670you are wrong, Zullie clearly shows that it is just an issue with them being placed in mode when off camera that does fewer calculations. They don’t actually have a teleportation move.
Honestly I love this format where you play a game from start to end in 1 shot. This is something you could do from time to time between doing other creative things if you wanted.
These videos awakened a respect for these games that I didn't even realize I had. I remember playing DS1 long long ago with my buddy walking me through step-by-step using summoning signs... I didn't much appreciate the game because I was a noob and too focused on getting my ass kicked to enjoy any of the gameplay. Watching the series through someone else's perspective has allowed me to see the masterpiece that these Souls games truly are. Shooot, it has rekindled my desire to take a step back into the games myself and once again experience the sheer adrenaline of scraping past a difficult boss that has kept you struggling fight after fight, only to triumph through sheer willpower and dedication and once again step forward into the pain train. 😅
Once all these games are beaten with Bonk, I think it'll be my favourite series on the entire channel. I ADORE these videos! LONG LIVE THE BONKENING!!!
Also love how the demon prince boss fight takes place in the original firelink shrine area from dark souls 1. So glad to see people still playing Dark souls 3!
This is so exciting! I have never seen anyone play or have played any FromSoft games myself, so after watching Seán's Dark Souls 1 playthrough, I can now continue with this video of Dark Souls 3! I'm always so happy when I can get into something I never thought I would have before. These games look awesome!
The Gael Ending Battle was so visually well done! The red smoke having skulls inside it, the immense power behind every hit spitting dust around, and the achiness you see in Gael's moves all combined into a masterpiece. I hate I've never seen it until now, but I'm glad Sean could guide me to the glorious ending!
Just got the game and I'm already head over heels for it. From the game design from the progression I just fell in love with it. And I am glad I bought it.
2:31:30 Thats great point, cuz it’s the same thing Miyazaki said in the dlc interview, when he has to make a sequel just cuz it is successful it makes him feel limited.
I love seeing Jack play these games and appreciate the longer style videos and horror stuff he does. His Dark Souls and Bloodborne fascination has infected me and I love the lore, etc. Great stuff, Jack!
Long time fan i watched you as a kid and you always made me smile i got into the souls games in middle school then i saw later you lkied them so thanks for all the good times and more to come
I gave up on trying to play ds3 months ago. But I’ve watched this video like 5 times now and it’s renewed my confidence and I’ve actually made it to Farron Keep!! It’s the farthest I’ve ever gotten and I have so much more confidence in my ability to navigate the game. It’s becoming an obsession and honestly I’m grateful for that. I’ve been stuck on Elden ring or Bloodborne so it’s a nice change of pace.
Actually ds3 is like the beginner of the soulsborne series. So, u made the right decision actually. Complete ds3 cuz this game is like your teacher for the souls games.
Dude, so fun fact about the brain I learned while watching someone’s video with helpful tips on the dark souls games, once you hit that wall of having trouble with a part and getting frustrated when you go to sleep at night there’s some weird shit where your subconscious tries to rework better ways to problem solve to get past those harder bosses or parts. So if you get stuck just take a a nap! It can actually help in this weird little psychological way!
@@LK-hl5nh thank you!! I’ve managed to beat pontiff Sulyvahn and now I’m on my way to Anor Londo! I just have to make it past all of the archers on the rooftops lol
When playing these games, I always liked the idea of defeating ancient, overpowered warriors, kings, lords and even gods as old as time itself with what is essential a big stick I found in the woods. Bonk for life
Vordt and the dancer change into "beasts" because of the rings given to them by Pontiff Sulyvahn. It's says so in the description of Pontiff's Right Eye. He basically gives them to outrider knights as a kind of kamikaze-weapon, so they transform and wreak havoc in other lands. Love the chill vibes of these kinda videos btw
I absolutely love these super long videos. I get to snuggle up for bed time (or after getting my teeth drilled by the dentist like rn) and fall asleep watching my favorite comfort creator, then after that i still am only 2 hours in so I probably have another 3 nights of this awesomeness. I actually cant stress enough how much i love this.
These long videos have been my absolute favourite. I GASPED of excitement when I saw this show up in my feed and couldn’t wait to sit down and experience your love for these games again!
2:21:40 Is the 3 fires in the swamp not because those are the lord souls from dark souls 1 and seath just gets given a part of Gwins soul? Then the door opens in the swamp as an homage to the door to gwins boss fight after offering the lord souls. In a way it’s like you’re extinguishing their souls again in order to open another door
I love the Souls videos, it’s really fun to see content creators playing games they love and its a bonus that I absolutely love the souls series as well.
I am he who is known as Gloopy Long Legs, I had no clue this was you 😂 I’m so stoked to see our epic battle, it truly is the Bonks we meet along the way ❤
The Bonkening begins!
if this is true then it's incredible, you should be truly honored sir.
I really hope you're telling the truth! Gloopy Long Legs is legend now!
well, if it truly was you, awesome!
Gloopy Long Legs is a legend! If this was actually u kudos😂
Dark Souls 2 will happen. I’ll get to it eventually. For now I’m so thankful for the support ❤
Your character literally looks like patches 🤣
We love you
I'm so here for all the fromsoft games.
Really silly how everyone keeps fighting about dark souls 2, people can dislike it, people can like it. It all comes down to personal preferences, and compared to the other games, dark souls 2 is simply the closest to being a different genre.
Ds2 is my favorite one hope to see it covered :)
Some very awesome details Jack forgot to mention I'd like to mention myself.
Everytime you took the very big Plunges in Dreg Heap you went back in time, the first big plunge takes you to Dark souls 2, as Jack said the fire lady is a character in that game. And when you drop to the Demon Princes which Lorian killed, you're at Dark Souls 1, dropping literally into Firelink Shrine in ds1. And then you go even further in time to the Ring City back when Gwyn was Alive I think?
In the Painting of Ariandel, it is a Painting inside the painting of Ariames, the Painting of Ariames rotted and fell to ruin same as Ariandel, so Father made a new world written on Ariames. And we are making the Third Painting, where we can have a world inside where everything has Ended.
that’s beautiful
Tf you're yapping about, Ringed City dlc literally happens at the end of time
@@Flmpbruh not literally back in time, but the references in the environment get older. its true.
It took me several days to watch this entire thing. I'm so happy to see Seán play the game that got me into the souls-borne games. I had never completed the game on my own ever, so I was absolutely amazed to finally play it again and destroy everything on a new playthrough using the BONK build. As someone who has 100% Bloodborne and Elden Ring, I will happily say, Darksouls 3 will be added to that list very soon.
Thanks Seán!
The best way I've ever heard the Gael fight described is "It's the perfect Dark Souls fight. Two nobodies fighting over nothing at the end of time."
two nobodies and nothing framed as though its the most important people and things ever to exist
thats from noah caldwell gervais right?
@@jacobtallen thing is though, it kindof is. gael spent every cycle gathering humanity to create a pigment in which his daughter creates a new world
@@KavsLockedOut Is she his daughter?
She refers to him as "uncle Gael" all the time.
I know that it's implied that the painter girl is the daughter of Crossbreed Priscilla, but I never heard anything about Gael being her father.
I said this exact thing when I was fighting Gael for the first time recently. Thought I was a genius for describing it like that but apparently I heard it from somewhere and gaslit myself into thinking I said it first
*Elegantly* "name thyself stranger"
Seán *aggressively* "ME BONK!"
"ME FIND YOU, GO UP GO BONK! YOU DIE COS ME BONK!"
😂😂
The kid from the painting mentioning Gael made me tear up, having the player kill someone then going back to another character who knew them and is waiting for them always gets me.
Since you brought up the time travel aspect, I thought you might find this anecdote amusing.
Some time ago, I ran a Dark Souls tabletop game (D&D) where I leaned in to the time is messed up aspect to bring in all my favorite stuff from all three games. I also let my players choose between original characters and existing NPCs, so our party consisted of the Emerald Herald, Solaire, Lucatile, and the dead Witch of Izaleth whose clothes you steal from Ceaseless Discharge.
At first, things went well - the party wandered through areas from various Dark Souls games confused and disoriented and fighting horrors of various sorts. However, because my players are smarties, they picked up on time being weird and started using it to their advantage. The Witch of Izalith character, for example, found a bonfire that was farther back in time and used it to reach Izalith before the upper area became blight town and save her sisters - they were still spider-demons, but they were no longer slowly dying/insane. Solaire, meanwhile, used did the same to find the Nameless King (who I decided was the 'Sun' he was looking for) before he fell. By the time the party had finished, they'd unmade basically all of Dark Souls canon and brought the age of fire crashing down around them - it was insane and hilarious.
The lesson? Never ever give D&D players access to time travel. And, if you do, sit back, have a drink, and enjoy watching the world burn. Or, in this case, stop burning (age of darkness).
Im pretty sure jack never fully lost his souls throughout the entire play through. Well done

Now that's what we call a 'Bonk' moment right there.
I’m absolutely in love with these ridiculously long gameplay videos because i get to watch them at my own pace instead of relying on the UA-camr to drop another episode. Sean is doing everything right.
You also don’t have to deal with multiple vids getting broken up by other slightly related content that might interrupt the flow. And if you are using them as background noise/stimulation while doing other things, you don’t have to touch anything or look up other vids for a while
It's actually why I stopped watching him. I don't have the time budget nor the willpower to stop a video when it starts
@@gloomygloomstalker3878This is exactly why I’ve been enjoying them. I can draw with them in the background and don’t have to deal with the annoyance of repeatedly being interrupted because I have to find a new video.
I love these longer videos! I have never seen any Dark Souls game and know practically none of the lore, so thank you Jack for describing little details as you go along! Watching you play these games has been an extremely immersive experience. ❤
Hell yeah
Love how in the dark souls 1 video Sean says there’d have to be a lot of want for him to do dark souls 2. Then this opens with “I’m going them all, even dark souls 2”. Can’t wait to watch them all 😊
Any idea why he skipped DS2 and went to DS3 after beating DS?
@@joberk3 I think DS3 links more directly to DS1 than 2 does. Also it’s a better game
@@joberk3DS2 is pretty much majority voted to be the worst soulsborne game ever. I can attest, the way that game plays just felt awful to me. I beat it, but it just felt bitter with how much I struggled more than I usually would at a soulsborne game
@@joberk3 He don't like ds2 as much as other souls
@@vally_mally sounds like a skill issuee
Ok so just gonna clarify a couple things
1. The lords of cinder refused to do it because there was 0 reason to link the flame. The twin princes didn't do it because they KNEW there was nothing in it for them. The abyss watchers didn't because the flame didn't keep the abyss at bay, so why do it? Aldritch didn't do it because he was basically stuff'd into the first flame because he was INCREDIBLY strong at the time. And Yhorm didn't because he had nothing left to protect, so why link it if it wouldn't be able to protect his loved ones?
2. The princes DID succeed in letting the fire fade, because originally you never actually got called from your grave (untended graves is what the original timeline was) but since fire and time are so closely related or maybe because of the guy we meet who actually was willing to link the flame again, we end up getting called.
3. Ashen ones are the "ash" of those who failed to link the fire (they just got dumped as kindling into the first flame instead of being able to link it, they got their ass handed to them by SoC) given life. And called by the toll of the bell to head to firelink shrine, where they are told what to do. You of course are the only one who is supposed to link the flame, the others got called to finish their job when it comes to their beef with the lords of cinder (Anri and Horace, Siegward and that other guy are a good example of those who only were called to slay 1 lord of cinder.) while we were called to basically kill every boss in our path. We kill literally everything, we kill gods, god devourers, dragons (bootleg ones not real ones) and a TON of other random beasts and tough opponents. Like, we had no reason to go to archdragon peak. We just went there and killed people that were just chilling there.
There ya go, 2 important facts to help clarify some stuff.
Actually, the Ashen ones are the ones who managed to get to the flame to link it, but on trying they got burned to ash instead of serving as fuel like the ones who successfully linked the flame. That's why they're awakened: they are those who managed to reach the flame, and just lacked the strength to fuel it. That's why the Keeper gives you the ashes of the lords before you go into the Kiln, so as to make you strong enough to successfully link it this time.
@@NeroCM yes... thats what I said, the ashen ones are the ones who made it there but failed at the last step and basically just got dumped into the flame and turned into ash, they couldnt "kindle it" they just kinda choked at the end and got turned into ash to be resurrected to finish the job.
@@duckyduckington9736You said "they got their ass handed to them by SoC" which is not at all what happened. They reached the flame like a proper candidate, like the Chosen undead in DS1, but when they reached into the flame to link it instead of becoming a bit of extra fuel they got incinerated instead.
To be fair, the lore isn't really clear on why the chosen undead, or the bearer of the curse, would be strong enough to link the fire while the ashen one originally could, or why the ashen one ends up being able to do it at the end of DS3 when they weren't before.
Is it that some times, when the fire fades, there aren't gods and demons around to kill, so the champions who try to link it manage to reach the flame without collecting enough souls to do it?
... Are all the people who win the lvl 1 challenge the ashen ones we play as in DS3?
@@NeroCM im sorry to break it to you, but we have like jack and shit to work with for "confirmation" what is true though is that they most definitely got turned to ash by the first flame. Whether failing to beat the soul of cinder or beating him. Both are technically correct, we have no way of knowing which is wrong.
So we both right okay?
@@duckyduckington9736... No, we do know. If someone fails to defeat the Soul of Cinder, they just die and have to try again. And again and again, until they either win or go fully hollow. The ashen ones used to be undead like everyone else. If they couldn't defeat SoC they'd just go hollow. It's only because they could defeat it and reach the flame to try and link it that they could burn to ash like they did.
I haven't watched your videos in a long time. Really cool to see you playing Dark Souls again, one of my favorite game series.
Took me a few days but i finished the video!! i loved the existentialism discussion and how you can find a connection to your views through such a viscerally beautiful game. Can't wait to watch you play Bloodborne again! your enjoyment of it made it one of my favorite games to watch people play, so thank you!
Jack: I wanna show the game.
Also Jack: Accidentally gets some cool NPC side quests killed.

Ah, the duality of dark souls.
"At the end of time, the end of space, when all turns to ash and cinder and old heroes throw down their arms. What has become of these dying worlds? The festering decay eating away waits for no one. Through flame and shadow, advance and decide the fate of all."
And
"Hejhe big rock go bomnk"
Art, in its purest form.
The duality of the Hollow
The most beautiful example of art I can think of.
When two people, equally the same as they are different, can come to both the deepest, profound conclusion, and the stupidest most simple result in the world, and ultimately both walk away with similar or completely different experiences of the art piece.

I'm surprised he went ringer city before finishing the base game. Technically, Slave Knight Gael is the final boss, no?
@@jordann2879 If I remember right, you cant go back after killing the final boss, so you gotta do dlcs first
@@wife_beater_ ah, you are probably right haha that's my bad! Thanks for the answer 😊
Something I find fascinating is that the Hollowslayer Greatsword, which, as you might guess, does extra damage to Hollow enemies only gets its damage bonus during the Slave Knight Gael fight when he enters his 2nd phase.
This is a lore statement made clearly and emphatically through a mechanical change, the best kind of rpg storytelling. It implies that the only thing keeping him sane was the goal of retrieving the blood of the dark soul, and when he realized he had succeeded, he immediately lost it and went Hollow.
What makes that even more interesting is the fact that Gael goes from fighting like a beast when sane to fighting like a man when Hollow. As though losing his mind made him draw on his origins as a knight to fill in a gap in his present self perception.
I think the same happens to the Nameless King in phase 2 of his fight where the Hollowslayer sword gets the damage bonus there too. The Nameless King having to put his beloved Stormdrake down ended up making him go Hollow
Fucking 6 years after I completed this game I am still learning new things, lore related or otherwise.
Fascinating
I always thought when we go into phase 2, he goes completely hollow, his will/conscious leaves him, and his body (including his brain and memories) is taken over by the Dark Soul inside him. Minus you, a Ringed Knight, and Shira, it's safe to say he pretty much has all that's left of the Dark Soul to obtain, and its raw power is enough to call actual lightning down from the sky, not Gwyn's fake "condensed sunlight" lightning

It takes me back to a simpler time when you're a kid. You and a buddy get together on a lazy Sunday and try to finish your favourite game in one sitting. The thought of school the next day looms, and god forbid you need to wait a week (a whole week!?) to complete the game the following weekend.

Watched DS1 lets play and this one back to back and its such a feelgood video to have on the side. Editing is very funny, the way jack hands out the lore is very interesting, the reading of some equipment is always nice. Ive played Bloodborne and Elden Ring but no DS and honestly a new Bloodborne video would be rad. I actually picked up Bloodborne after watcher Sean play it and it was a hardous journey. Im more of a cozy comfort gamer like Gab often plays so it was a nice change of pace. On my second run of ER atm and always so fun, I rewatch the Bloodborne and ER playlists all the time.
Keep going Sean and thank you for rekindling the flame for everyone.
So thankful Jack makes these kinds of long videos. I’m not even necessarily a fan of these types of games, I’m terrible at them. But watching Jack enjoy himself playing a game he loves while I’m sick for is truly a blessing.

Fun fact, Sean's theory at about 7:00:00, the black hole thing, that's more or less what the Big Crunch theory is. At least, the Big Crunch is the idea that the universe will at some point stop expanding and coalesce back into a single point; it's the reverse process of the Big Bang, basically

Hey Jack, fun fact about the dog teleport! Their model unloads when your not looking at them so when the game data reads that they are attacking it summons their model right next to you since its AI behaves that if its attacking it must be in range and just teleports them over
no the game caps the enemies frames lower when off screen, since the dogs move really fast they appear to be teleporting cause of their low frame rate
@@skeleton1809 im pretty sure zullie the witch did a video showing that they do literally just teleport but i might be wrong

(Or for the young whipper snappers that don't know Dr Who - like a coil head from Lethal Company)
@@ASimpleInternetUserAn excellent analogy, couldn't have worded it better myself 😂
@@BirdyBoi6670you are wrong, Zullie clearly shows that it is just an issue with them being placed in mode when off camera that does fewer calculations. They don’t actually have a teleportation move.
Honestly I love this format where you play a game from start to end in 1 shot. This is something you could do from time to time between doing other creative things if you wanted.
Thank you for this! I loved your DS1 Video too!
4:40:10 love the paintwork on the Dancer! As someone who used to paint warhammer figures professionally you did a really good job!
Petition for jack to play sekiro
These videos awakened a respect for these games that I didn't even realize I had. I remember playing DS1 long long ago with my buddy walking me through step-by-step using summoning signs... I didn't much appreciate the game because I was a noob and too focused on getting my ass kicked to enjoy any of the gameplay. Watching the series through someone else's perspective has allowed me to see the masterpiece that these Souls games truly are. Shooot, it has rekindled my desire to take a step back into the games myself and once again experience the sheer adrenaline of scraping past a difficult boss that has kept you struggling fight after fight, only to triumph through sheer willpower and dedication and once again step forward into the pain train. 😅
There is nothing better than a blind first run of DS3. Best game of a generation. So much nostalgia. Thanks for revisiting
Once all these games are beaten with Bonk, I think it'll be my favourite series on the entire channel. I ADORE these videos! LONG LIVE THE BONKENING!!!
Also love how the demon prince boss fight takes place in the original firelink shrine area from dark souls 1. So glad to see people still playing Dark souls 3!
it does??
This is so exciting! I have never seen anyone play or have played any FromSoft games myself, so after watching Seán's Dark Souls 1 playthrough, I can now continue with this video of Dark Souls 3! I'm always so happy when I can get into something I never thought I would have before. These games look awesome!
whoever is doing these smooth edits on the loading screens, love you
The Gael Ending Battle was so visually well done! The red smoke having skulls inside it, the immense power behind every hit spitting dust around, and the achiness you see in Gael's moves all combined into a masterpiece. I hate I've never seen it until now, but I'm glad Sean could guide me to the glorious ending!
I love the pause in gameplay for a show-and-tell of Jack's 3D printed and painted figurines. ❤
its so fun watching people who know the layouts run through souls game levels
Just got the game and I'm already head over heels for it. From the game design from the progression I just fell in love with it. And I am glad I bought it.
2:31:30
Thats great point, cuz it’s the same thing Miyazaki said in the dlc interview, when he has to make a sequel just cuz it is successful it makes him feel limited.
I love seeing Jack play these games and appreciate the longer style videos and horror stuff he does. His Dark Souls and Bloodborne fascination has infected me and I love the lore, etc. Great stuff, Jack!
Long time fan i watched you as a kid and you always made me smile i got into the souls games in middle school then i saw later you lkied them so thanks for all the good times and more to come
Jack was the one who got me into souls games with his bloodborne playthrough and they have became some of my favorite games of all time. Thanks Jack!
I am so very happy that I became a member again. It's been so long! Also I love watching you play the full games in one episode it's so much fun!!
Soul of Cinder was actually just OG, DS1 Bonk, and the only reason he lost was because he gave up the bonk to use a sword and magic.
One of the best videos I’ve seen for awhile from Sean
Thanks for making this video. Just finished it after 2 weeks of watching
I gave up on trying to play ds3 months ago. But I’ve watched this video like 5 times now and it’s renewed my confidence and I’ve actually made it to Farron Keep!! It’s the farthest I’ve ever gotten and I have so much more confidence in my ability to navigate the game. It’s becoming an obsession and honestly I’m grateful for that. I’ve been stuck on Elden ring or Bloodborne so it’s a nice change of pace.
Actually ds3 is like the beginner of the soulsborne series. So, u made the right decision actually. Complete ds3 cuz this game is like your teacher for the souls games.
5 times, 5 times, oh my god
Dude, so fun fact about the brain I learned while watching someone’s video with helpful tips on the dark souls games, once you hit that wall of having trouble with a part and getting frustrated when you go to sleep at night there’s some weird shit where your subconscious tries to rework better ways to problem solve to get past those harder bosses or parts. So if you get stuck just take a a nap! It can actually help in this weird little psychological way!
Also good luck! I’ve only beat it once, but may try to go full solo by playing along with jack.
@@LK-hl5nh thank you!! I’ve managed to beat pontiff Sulyvahn and now I’m on my way to Anor Londo! I just have to make it past all of the archers on the rooftops lol
When playing these games, I always liked the idea of defeating ancient, overpowered warriors, kings, lords and even gods as old as time itself with what is essential a big stick I found in the woods. Bonk for life
Vordt and the dancer change into "beasts" because of the rings given to them by Pontiff Sulyvahn. It's says so in the description of Pontiff's Right Eye. He basically gives them to outrider knights as a kind of kamikaze-weapon, so they transform and wreak havoc in other lands.
Love the chill vibes of these kinda videos btw
Only Sean could talk for 8+ hours and still keep giving us content. Truly appreciate this, I feel like we should say that more.
I absolutely love these super long videos. I get to snuggle up for bed time (or after getting my teeth drilled by the dentist like rn) and fall asleep watching my favorite comfort creator, then after that i still am only 2 hours in so I probably have another 3 nights of this awesomeness. I actually cant stress enough how much i love this.
These long videos have been my absolute favourite. I GASPED of excitement when I saw this show up in my feed and couldn’t wait to sit down and experience your love for these games again!
i have been watching since elementary now graduated for 2 years so i’ve been watching for about 10-9 years and god i love this channel
I've been loving watching these playthroughs ! I'm excited to see you play the other fromsoft games :D
2:21:40 Is the 3 fires in the swamp not because those are the lord souls from dark souls 1 and seath just gets given a part of Gwins soul? Then the door opens in the swamp as an homage to the door to gwins boss fight after offering the lord souls. In a way it’s like you’re extinguishing their souls again in order to open another door
Ahhhhh cool!
5:33:03 “Oh my God, you yeast infect!” is going to be my new insult.
Love the videos bro loved your bloodborne one now watching this one .
once again, *chef's kiss* beautiful work, it took me four days to watch this and i enjoyed every second of it. Thank you, sincerely
Fun little factoid about any mob that gives bleed proc over time (aka flies and maggots) - you can equip a torch to instantly ward the effect off.
I love the Souls videos, it’s really fun to see content creators playing games they love and its a bonus that I absolutely love the souls series as well.
I've been watching all of these videos while recovering from a 103.2 degree fever. They have really helped me!
