@@C4lmaria That's the lesson every Dark Souls player learned, you can have the best equipment, crazy good reflexes and perfect stat, that won't prevent you to fall to your death
Tarkus felt things were getting too easy by the time he reached Anor Londo, so he stripped off his armour, left it beside some weird painting, and conquered the entirety of Lordran naked.
He probably found some poor soul stuck in the corner who could maybe use it and gave it, but then the guy got rekt and so that's why there's a body there. Tarkus won the day.
just finished sens fortress on new game +5 and tarkus attacked iron golem and the golem fell and tarkus fell down with him... Tarkus mustve wanted to make sure.
Hermaeus Mora And after beating shit out of giant warrior which can break man in half with bare fists... Tarkus fell off plank and died in Anor Lond. Gravitation is still the most powerfull power in Lordran. I believe thet if he would go through this room he would beat every boss in game. Even Seath in first fight.
***** What? Pfffft, nonsense. Tarkus just decided to throw down his armor after the Painting Guardians kept outpacing him. Afterwards, his god-strength that was contained burst through and tore apart the fabric of the universe: allowing multiple dimensions and realities to interact with one another via variously colored soapy rocks. Tarkus himself was warped into the primordial past where he fought the great Giantdad himself. Then they locked swords and the sparks from the blades was so powerful, that they coalesced into the First Flame itself.
joshua kim But there's body on the floor. Do you think that... he stripped one of painting guardians, gave it his armor and then threw it off into corner? That makes sense.
There's a tale of a man who once arm wrestled with the Dragon God and came up victorious. There are now rumors going around that this same man from back then is still alive and making his name known. How do you think Nito became the First of the Dead? Why do you think Seathe is scaleless? Ceaseless Discharge isn't protecting that corpse, oh, no---he's just eagerly waiting for his master to return. Imagine the anger that builds within...when it's someone other than his master who intrudes. This man, who trained Artorias, who taught Sif how to wield a sword, who created Blighttown from his own vomit, who motorboated Gwynerve, dominated Quelaag, created his own cult of egg carriers and told Kalameet that fighting him wasn't worth his time....is named Tarkus. People say he's dead--met his fate in Anor Londo. Others say that he simply got bored and left his armor behind to make things more challenging. One can never be too sure what he'll do next. Be wary of this man; age and time has no limitations on him.
What? Pfff, come on. We ALL know that Tarkus found the Lord Souls and decided to give them away to 4 random strangers b/c he knew that combining their power with his would make the world implode. He then realized that his armor was dead weight since blows bounced off of his god-skin anyways so he decided to give them to some random undead who got himself killed in Anor Londo. It is said that he also parried Gwyn...with his greatshield...
When the gods of Anor Londo learned that Tarkus was coming to visit, the gods fled. Gwyn set up his grave and fled to the kiln of the First Flame to become hollow because he knew it was hopeless to try and hide from Tarkus. Gwyndolin stayed only to trick Tarkus into thinking everyone was still around to greet him.
Fastest thing I've ever seen kill the Iron Golem was the Iron Golem. First time I ever fought him I summoned another player, we walk up to the Iron Golem and he takes a step backwards and falls off the edge to his death.
Tarkus.. I dont know if you can hear or read this. But you were the biggest help in the game for me. More helpful than Solaire. Solaire might be my sun bro, but you will always be the one making me go futher. I just want to say.... THANKS! May you rest in piece as I carry your armor, weapon and shield in honor of your name!
I still remember seeing this video for the first time before I even knew what Dark Souls was. Set me on the road to finding out more about Dark Souls and now years later after hundreds of hours in the series I have to say thanks lol .
In Dark Souls 3 you actually should. If you infuse the Greatsword with a Refined Gem and have 40/40 strength and dex, it'll do about 620 damage per 2h R1. The charged R2 will just fucking decimate everything.
Tarkus is a true champion. Even though I find the Iron Golem fight easy, I always summon him. If those pesky rafters in Anor Londo didn't get him, he would have made it.
"200 Years ago, there was a war between the human world and the other, the World of the Abyss. And someone from the human world wake up to justice and stood up against this legion alone. his name, was Tarkus! Later he even defied the gods and make them abandon Anor Londo. He then ruled over the lost City and preserve harmony, until his death. He became a legend. The legendary Black Knight! Black Iron Tarkus."
Decided to do a Tarkus build in DS3. Before I played the build, I had to come back to this video. One of the many reasons I fell in love with this community.
OzzMirr LOL, I inherited that record from my Dad. The art work on the cover is just cool as hell. Wonder if Iron Tarkus is actually an armadillo person?
So, and this may require a particularly niche set of knowledge, but there's a weird layer of connections going on here. Tarkus was also the name of a famous ELP album/song, which alone is just a funny little coincidence, but then one of Koji Kondo's greatest influences, according to himself, is ELP. What was one of Koji Kondo's first jobs as a Composer? Punch-Out. I wish I was making any part of this up, but I'm not.
Going back and rewatching all of the greatest Dark Souls videos and when I thought I was done... this video pops up in my head. I love the Dark Souls community, so freaking much.
Brian Sukhram Thanks, man! Though I generally still concentrate on live Twitch content, I have been putting more effort into making enjoyable video content due to people like you who show they enjoy it!
Anor Londo is actually a colossal mimic (you can tell because how much there ARE). He knew that it wuld eat the chsoen unadead in 1 bite so he jumped off rafters and smash its face with his poise.
he fell of the rafters where the painted world painting is' do to his heavy armor he couldnt balance on and fell, gravity kills everything even hackers
I have to disagree with the notion of Tarkus being better than me at this game. The man's overspecialized. Anything combat related and he's the automatic winner, but the moment he's out of that zone he's a corpse. That's not to say he's not the best at combat of course. Because he is. Tarkus could've beaten every last one of the bosses in this game. At the same time. Then he'd relight the flame for all eternity by using the power of his sheer badass.
Cameron Parish You find a corpse carrying Tarkus' gear in Anor Londo. Prevailing theory is he was knocked off of the rafters and fell to his death. That area is well known for being treacherous for players capable of swift movement, so a guy like Tarkus who can't move quickly due to his preference for heavier armor wouldn't stand much of a chance.
Tarkus didn't die...he just invaded Hell.
And he's winning the fight

Tarkus once visited New Londo. It is now called New Londo Ruins.
JIGGLYKID made me lol foreal xD
JIGGLYKID lmao
111th like,my OCD compells me to tell you.
Tarkus went to virgin islands. Now its called the Islands
You wouldnt want to know what he did with them
This post is 5 years old...yup
Tarkus was so strong the only way FromSoft could kill him was with Lore.
He lives on in our hearts
He could only lose to the toughest boss in ds: Gravity
@@C4lmaria That's the lesson every Dark Souls player learned, you can have the best equipment, crazy good reflexes and perfect stat, that won't prevent you to fall to your death
For lesser falls, there's silvercat ring, or spook, or fall control
Tarkus felt things were getting too easy by the time he reached Anor Londo, so he stripped off his armour, left it beside some weird painting, and conquered the entirety of Lordran naked.
He then fucked gwynevere so hard she decided to leave Anor Londo with Tarkus.
How you ask?
Cause Tarkus is such a fucking MAN
I like this explanation much better.
I definitely choose to believe this. Thank you for the canon.
Some say that he parried Gwyn... With his greatshield
He probably found some poor soul stuck in the corner who could maybe use it and gave it, but then the guy got rekt and so that's why there's a body there.
Tarkus won the day.
to make the game way more difficult, tarkus should become the boss in sen's fortress while you summon the iron golem, lol
hahahahx

There was ONE result.
Actually, I just looked it up. There were 119 :)
Sir Render -
but only ONE mattered
Shit was different back then.
I still got exactly *one* result too.
youtube, or really, google's search algorithm is weird
just finished sens fortress on new game +5 and tarkus attacked iron golem and the golem fell and tarkus fell down with him... Tarkus mustve wanted to make sure.
I just imagined him going after the Iron Golem like Gandalf and the Balrog, wouldn't put it past him
no, they both died and went to hell just so tarkus can have a round two with the golem.

He isn’t dead. Armor was left behind. Tarkus is the low key Champion of DS. Praise him! 👌🏻
God I still love this video, the reaction is just so visceral
Tarkus was like"Stand aside, I got this shit"
Remeber when Tarkus killed Chuck Norris.
Yes.
bluelineexplosion No. Because Chuck Norris pussied out of the fight.
Wait is Bruce Lee Tarkus?
Oh yeah, i member.
we're getting close to the release of elden ring dark souls trilogy ended but Tarkus still lives in our hearts as the strongest

It's been 10 years, and Tarkus is *still* better at this game than you.
0% luck
10% skill
20% concentrated black iron will
30% pleasure
40% pain
And 100% reason why we worship his name.
