Alexander be like, 'I am nothing but a crock! All it took was one hit and my innards went spilling'
My brother in the greater will, you CARRIED the fight
Fr. Bro saved my life by drawing rhadans aggro when I needed to heal on my first playthrough
33:50 that Shadow Man that appeared there and CLEARLY attacked our poor precious Jar Bro, how dare they!!!
evil
All vessels are destined to one day break. But the great Alexander lived as a warrior to his last! Ha ha ha ha!
The first time I met this guy, I knew he would break my heart. Not because of him turning evil, but that he would want to prove himself beyond his normal limit. And I know it’s what he wanted in the end, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less.
First time I did his quest I shed a single tear of masculine respect. But now I do it all the time because he gives one of the best talismans in the game.
👍
Why...why do they have to be such fools?!
But...I mourn for great fallen spirits.
They are foolish..but they were Great, no question about it. They had what defines a hero more than any other one.
Yea I esp thought that when he said "hit it from behind, step tarnished"
the voice, the dictation, the finishes, another master class ghostcharm banger
One of my favorite moments of video game immersion was truly roleplaying my Tarnished on my first run through Elden Ring, deeply invested in Alexander's journey. It was gut wrenching to hear his resigned shame over being defeated with a single blow of Raddahn (no less!) despite being so braggadocios yet charmingly eloquent with his power and title before the festival.
Yet, the reveal that he is fueled by the visceral essence of fallen warriors, churning and distilling it within his body, literally and symbolically tempering himself to be tougher, he won me over. All culminating in proving his worth as a fighter against the Fire Giant when summoned as an ally.
I truly wished you could have given him the option of becoming your knight and champion after achieving Elden Lordship, but he is not bound by servitude, but the warrior path, which is always one of death in glory. But death all the same. He may have felt fear, but courageously overcame it, and accepted a shattering defeat, delighted to have journeyed further than any Jar has ever done. And even then, his legacy not only lives in the Tarnish's memories, but literally inside of his nephew Jarbin.
I love him.
You don't realize it at first, but Alexander's questline is like a microplay of the entire plot of Elden Ring, since Marika is just a vessel for The Elden Ring.
It even ends with a god slain.
33:50 spirit fucking killed him
Oh my gosh! Never would've expected a video on Iron Fist Alexander. Very bittersweet story.
A Vaatividya x Ghostcharm video would go so hard let’s be real
B R O
We could not handle it.
Wish white people would stop talking like this
too hard!
@@Morec0 It would be just too damn relaxing the masses just aren’t ready for that kind of god tier content yet haha
I love Alexander he is such a cheery dude is such a bleak world. Also lmao at the phantom killing the nephew jar as you’re giving him uncle’s insides.
often, a vessel can be measured by its contents, but a warrior is made by the deeds, and the times and places it has done them in. Alexander is more than the sum of his volume, or his ceramic firmament, he is Iron Fist Alexander, every inch his choices, spirit, and wisdom. So live on, little Jar Bairn, and become the warrior the Lands Between needs again, now that Uncle Alexander has become the warrior they _had._
A good jar, I say. Met his end with honor, as a warrior
Was not expecting this. Excellent. Still very sad whenever I do his quest, only a homie as real as him helps me with the Fire Giant (BS boss). I use his shard with pride.
It also helps that it’s the best talisman in the game
Whoever tried killing Jar-bairn at 33:50 is a poo poo eater.
The beautiful thing about his character is that he has passion for something that he isn't really made for. He's so fragile as a pot but still pursuits the ways of a warrior to seek after those who hunt his family down jarburg (poachers). He even thinks about the player by making us a helmet along his journey. It's a story about passion and the fact you should do what you love no matter who or what you are. There is a warrior jar in all of us.
Alexander, Solaire, Sigemeyer, Siegeward and now Rusty. I am glad From Software gives us bros to help us along the way.
Steve Harvey got a big belly laugh out of me 🤣
Also, how is this the first time I find out you can talk to Alex at Mt. Gelmir by standing on the rock?? My dumbass was right in the lava for the conversation 🤦
Come for the Ghost, stay for the Charm
Never come for ghosts, that's how you get possessed.
I find it very interesting that Jars do not have the Undead attribute and weaknesses. If the Jars are naturally occurring by virtue of the Rune of Death's destruction/theft compelling them to live in death, how are they different?
My thought is that they are made by the golden order to convey the remains of people to the erdtrees so they can go back into the samsara cycle of the golden order. The life force of the people within are temporarily used to animate the jars. So probably not created by the deathroot's influence
@@bjollnirbjordsen9795 true, they are Jars "Sealed" with the sign of the Erdtree. makes a bunch of sense.
Alexander being sad after the Radahn fight confused me during my first playthrough. He actually did most of the work for me XD.
I understand there's a story being told besides what my gameplay shows me but I legit got hard carried and he said I was a better warrior.
Iron Fist Alexander is another cherished NPC that gets addded to FROMSOFT's long list of endearing companions who's fates can end in some form of happiness or tragedy.
Thanks for giving the lovable Jar Uncle the Ghostcharm treatment.
Iron Fist Alexander is hands down the best character in Elden Ring. There are more flashy folks, more intricate folks, there's Boc, and they're all great. But there's none that feel like a labour of love added because someone wanted to like Alexander.
Alexander assisted in the slaying of Starscourge Radahn. He is not lacking in courage, strength, or wit.Love them as a character.
I see Ghostcharm, I click like.
Understandable
A simple and honorable approach
One of the few I always like and comment for. Truly deserved
Simple as
i love the brief otogi shoutout at the start. it and its sequel were two of my all-time favorite games as a kid, i've always felt they've been unfairly forgotten.
"Wait- he forgot Patches as a archtype-"
-shows Lapp-
"OH YOOOOOOOOU"
I’m gonna be honest, the first interaction you have with him, I thought a normal person was trapped inside a jar lmao I was not expecting it to be a warrior jar.
A new video game peida video is always nice to see. What an amazingly written NPC, the heart of warrior who goes out laughing. From Software makes such memorable characters with arcs of their own... and this one is a lovable jar.
Ghost posted? And it’s about Jar man? YIPPIE!!
Ghost you are a blast to watch. Your takes when it comes to games, lore, or even the smallest concepts are fantastic. I can’t wait to see what other masterclass your going to make next.
I think Alexander is our friend, but he is a Warrior Jar, and he sees you as his equivalent. One of you must take the other's boons for the road ahead, as two heros of lesser measure simply will not be enough. think he even shows friendship through the honor of his final encounter, he could have ambushed you or something but instead he sits at the end of a road and waits for you to accept the same conclusion he has.
One of my favorite characters in a fromsoft game, with my favorite ending.
Alexander is my favorite npc in ER no contest. I've always really enjoyed the kind of aloof and goofy characters they've done in the series, with Siegward being my other favorite. He always reminded me of Winnie the Pooh, same w Alexander.
I like how there's an echo of someone killing the baby jar during his emotional moment. XD
You’re girlfriend is such a real one. Here’s to the Ghostcharm clan for masterfully reciting yet another legendary tale!
Im a big sucker fir the onion knight characters. They were always my favorites. I was so saddened at first when I killed Alexander, but it was the end he wanted. Dying to a great warrior and passing his legacy onto his nephew.
I wore the jar helmet he gave me, and the plumpest set of armor I could find and took up the mantel of Jar Knight to help anyone who would summon me.
"strong enough, i deserve to have uncles insides" 💀💀💀💀 this sounds sooooooo wrong to me
also i do believe alexander is our friend, he even asks permission at the end. instead of attacking without warning which could have been the deciding factor in him actually getting our insides inside of him
LETS FRIGGIN GO. He broke my heart in Crumbling Faram Azula. One of my favorite NPC’s
The great warrior Iron Fist Alexander.
With blows mighty enough to topple a Giant, a body strong enough to resist the Starscourge, and the impeccable tenacity and wisdom to reach the fabled Farum Azula.
A hero and a legend, let us give praise.
Idk man I feel like this is the perfect pick for an Elden Ring character for this series. Wonderful video as always.
35:59 awwwwwww that's precious
It's actually kind of inspiring that, out of all the characters you meet, only 2 ever make it to the END endgame zones. Obviously, you have Millicent making it to the depths of the Haligtree, and then you have Alexander making it all the way to Farum Azula (Technically, Corryhn, Goldmask, Yura, and and Gideon all make it to AN endgame area but Gideon is a boss, and Goldmask and Corryhn stay in a relatively safe and out of the way spot, and Yura... well... he ain't Yura anymore).
He was a LOT stronger than he gave himself credit for. In fact, he survives really well against the Fire Giant. He's able to soak a LOT of damage, so clearly, tempering himself on Mt. Gelmir and consuming warriors of the shattering worked really well.
A Heropedia on Godfrey would be really cool
Rather than canopic jars its more than likely the Pair Dadeni (Cauldron of Rebirth) from welsh mythology. that has the ability to resurrect the the dead. It was destroyed by welsh anti-hero during with a battle with the irish. Seeing the irish use the cauldron to revive their warriors he hides amongst the dead and is thrown in, and destroys it from within, sacrificing himself.
Its also what the black cauldron from the movie The Black Cauldron (and the books the movie is based on) is based on. It fits the celtic vibe as well.
doubt it
I’d love a video on Blaidd, far and away my favorite from soft character, besides maybe Gael
I find it weird that the small Jar is called Jarbin and the town Jarburg; but Alexander isnt called something like "Jarvis" or "Jarthur", or maybe "Alexanjar". But.. the sample size is too small to know if theres any actual jar naming conventions.
I wish I had your cadence and natural delivery. it's so smooth. Also excellent video.
His story ending was the only time I hesitated to kill in elden ring. I genuinely was like wait wait cant we just talk
damn ghost, you are truly an under rated content creator right now. if you keep posting like this it will make every one of us very happy fans! i cant get enough of these videos!!!!
There is a metaphor for life in there somewhere.
The show must go on
It'd be cool to see a Marcus Fenix heropedia someday
I hope the ghost attacking Jar Bairn at the end watches this and amends their ways in their next playthrough
would consider doing Fia the Deathbed Companion and The Loathsome Dung eater with same exceptional in depth dive as this for Alexander ?
Madlad really got to Farum Azula with +2 flask
It's so sick to finally see an "obscure" good videogames list that isnt just mentioning cult hits for once! Fantastic videos and now I have some games I need to look into
It's a good day when Ghostcharm posts
33:50 That spirit attacked Jar Bairm!
Getting emotional over the ending of the jars quest at 2am? yes.
I would love to see you cover different archetypes from the Soulsborne games, with examples of how they're generally and specifically represented!
I haven't watched it yet but I just wanna say I really enjoy the videos. I just started watching your vids and their really good!
The greatest jar I've ever met
I genuinely cannot think of a worse fate than being trapped as part of the consciousness of a jar person.
One step closer to the Gwyn villainpedia
"There is no serious items to gain from this characters"
*laughs in Alexander shard*
Great video good sir
They have a concept called erdtree burial so that they can be reborn, the catacombs where constructed around the eardtree roots
Subliminal messages of crockpots are telling me to name mine Alexander.
Encountering Iron Fist Alexander in Farum Azula, you know what's coming. As painful as it is to put an end to an absolute Lad and your mate, it would be more painful to deny him his dream. Blessed be IFA, a warrior to the end.
Absolutely amazing video! At the end you mentioned Alexander maybe not being the subscribers first choice for characters but I think what sets you apart from others is how much passion you put into smaller stories or characters. Always go for a story you care about, the quality will reflect your passion. Thank you for making these videos!
It's definitely fitting to have him join you in the Giant fight the same as the fight against Yhorme
This is a good video
YOU DIDN’T EVEN WATC-
🥵 Lets watch it toghtererererererer@@bruh7771
I think you should do a Heropedia on The Hollow Knight.
I just discovered your channel and you're absolutely dope!! I watch a lot of UA-cam while working and these videos made my day go by faster and interesting
I believe Warrior Jars bring the remains of the dead, particularly those that died well in battle, back to the catacombs or the minor Erdtrees scattered around. They do this because of Erdtree burial.
I wonder what would happen if Alexander met Solaire
Iron Heart Alexander is a true warrior who shall live forever in the annals of history! I am sad though that you have to kill him, although he wouldn't have it any other way I suppose. (also that note at the end is super cute)
Man, I knew it was something from Dark Souls, but I wish that I guessed it was going to be this legendary guy, it was going to be a matter of time. So glad to see Ghost back with another banger upload.
@Ghostcharm did you use lotro music in the beginning of "The Nephew & The Knight"?
Yes
35:00, Yes, yes it was.
Nice deep dive into the charnel crockery.
Do you think the harvested souls are held in a kind of purgatory and denied Valhalla - endlessly fighting and dying?
Or do they ascend if their remains happen to provide nourishment to the Ygdrassil seedlings?
I would assume the souls are released when the vessel is broken and the innards are returned to the minor erdtrees, the dead being in some sort of holding or stasis. Probably not very pleasant being stuck in one of them mfs. Though I guess it depends on who you're stuck in there with
Oh, WOW! Beautifully done video! You gave Alexander's story so much depth and meaning! New Sub!
I think Hewg is probably my favorite character. Poor fella
Though all of them are excellent, videos like this one and the one on the crab merchant are some of my favorites on your channel.
When it became apparent he was challenging me, I knew it was a foregone conclusion that our main character would be victorious. But his opening attack was the massive epic leap punch ground slam, and for a split second I was like, "😧 Oh shit I'm so screwed." RIP, legend.
I've beaten this game multiple times and I refuse to fight Alexander. In all of my completed games, he's still out there somewhere...
alexander can never grow in power without external force to help himself, his body cannot be honed anymore then it is. Like, how do you train ceramic and stone muscle, that material can never grow using mortal training like what Alexander is doing.
Yet another amazing entry, Ghost! Loved it, especially since Alexander is my favorite NPC from Elden Ring right next to Sellen. I did think it was hilarious when you were talking to Jar Bairn at the end that one of the PC shades was killing him in the background, too, though it's completely unrelated!
You think he finally went down in Farum Azula, but we all know he still lives. Just with a different name and in a different place where help is very much needed. The Haligtree.
You’re videos are always so chill and radical. I appreciate how genuine you are. Keep up the great work
We genuinely look forward to your vids. Keep doing what youre doing and we'll continue to appreciate your work and passion. Thank you for the lore. Peace!
Another banger in the books.
I really appreciate your positivity and approach dude. You're a good one.
I ruined Alex's dream by fighting Radahn solo
0:05 into the video and Demon Souls main menu got me already sad. I truly truly wish I could see the alternative world of what the evolution of Demon->Dark->????? would've been without the need to make money.
What a joyous occasion.
Unc went hard 😤
It is possible that the erdtree avatars create the jars as a means to repurpose the souls who are not reincarnated by the erdtree. Maybe it is some type of hell, where offenders against the golden order have their remains sealed inside for eternity.
Alexander really is a top g tbh
He was my friend. A warrior to the end. But alas a warrior must fight alone. So we moved on alone. With naught but the memory of the iron fist to keep us going.
