Why is she always there before us? o.O Btw. my favorite line: "Bearer of the curse, if you are to be the next monarch, Then, one day, you will walk those grounds... ...without really knowing why."
well she's suppose to be a projection or a clone of the real emerald herald. there's a hidden mesh of her in the game where she looks like a child. her child form is suppose to show up late in the game forgot the name of the stage but it's the one with dragons flying around. that's why there's two voice actress for her in the game but they decide to not use her child form for some reason.
Because she's not actually there at all, she's sending a projection of herself. She's really in the Dragon Aerie the entire time, which is why her voice sounds different when you talk to her there (very noticeable in this video where you can hear it back to back with another line.) This wasn't supposed to be hard to figure out but it ended up vague because of the English translation. In the Japanese version, she flat-out explains this and says something like "my bunshin guided you here," 'bunshin' being a sort of astral projection of oneself that lets one appear in a place without traveling there physically. There's no 1:1 English equivalent of this concept and the translator used the word "manifestation," the line is "it was my own manifestation that lead you here" which does not as easily convey the concept of a deliberate projection of herself while she remains elsewhere.
For all the critiques DS2 gets, the lore is so clear. The curse is part of life, we can just wait the next Monarch: Gwyn condemned the world by linking the flame to all hollows. No matter if you have a dark soul, a light soul, etc. It will be burned and turn you hollow One day you will walk those grounds, without really knowing why: if you take the egoist route, and become a dark Lord, but wont sacrifice to the flame, you will become mad eventually (all main bosses show us this) Basically the first sin condemned us all to become crazy no matter what we do
I played 1 through Bloodborne and I legitimately found 2 to be my favorite. it's so, so good. I'm sad it wasn't received well, but I'll always treasure it. emerald herald is one of my favorites video game characters of all time. absolutely love her and her story.
It's part of the theme of the game. Undead gradually lose their memory and identity, your initial goal of recovering your life gets lost as you're guided towards the flame.
@@Japo006 It does, temporarirly, but it's also the cause of it in the first place. Breaking the cycle of light and dark is the only way to stop the undead curse, which is what Aldia and Vendrick push you towards
Wow can you imagine if Nashandra had been the one leveling you up while being the final boss (and I guess "villain") the whole time? That would have been one hell of a plot twist. And also a good fit to the theme of greed the Queen had going with her.
My fav lines witch are Curse is part of life itself. No one will ever be rid of it. So There's is only one other choice to await a worthy monarch Monarch that can shoulder your burden Lest this land swallow you whole. As it had some many others. For when the undead dies it is never truly undead but only one step close to hollowing not all undead are hollows but all hollows were once undead Stay strong and do not loose hope even when you have precious little time.
Muse of those who art accursed Thou hath enlightened many with thine fine words But there art many words thine mouth shalt speak Words that wilt spread wisdom I beseech thee, to nary stop saying Bearer... Seek... Seek... Lest... For thine words shalt be remembered through the ages, never to be forgotten
“Without souls, you will turn hollow” But hollows also carry a decent amount of souls, sometimes a few hundred? Isn’t hollowing based on lack of motivation or reason to exist?
Yes, as in, if you are not seeking souls you have probably lost your motivation and reason to exist. Plus you have to take into account it is within her interest to see you succeed and gather more souls
There`s a bunch of unlisted dialogue here,that I did not find in the game,nor in the wiki,mostly her describing different areas in the game. Where does it come from?
The game archives. It's a dump of every voice file and naturally includes any that might have been in them but not used in the final version of the game.
i accidently using flame immolition near the emerald and then when im going to talk to her, there's not button to talk. also, i can't use a bonfire at majula. can someone help me?
I actually 100% agree with you, except the emerald herald is a complete exception. Her VA is fantastic and sounds a lot like the fire keeper in ds3. Its weird you specifically have a problem with her acting when it's the best the game offers.

Her voice is as beautiful as Majula's music

@@S7ARBOY It's her and the entirety of Majula. It sets a mood that is existentially bleak and depressing... feels like home
You need to separate lore and story. The stories are pretty clear in every game while the lore isn't, even in DS2
@@cer0wa1nmajula definitely feels the most homey from all the bases in dark souls
god i love her voice so much
I have this phrase tattooed " I'll always be at your side, until hope has fully withered" =)
Diego Lockhart put it on your side
Haxanlord Actually it's tattooed on my sides =)
gonna tattoo it on my penis
Bin al-Flecki can I see
1:52 timestamp for this line. Pretty good
Came to find out how to pronounce her name, but ended up listening to the whole thing. Her voice is SO PRETTY
Her voice actress is Ruth Negga
@@meci6625 Excuse me ??? RUTH WHAT ?????
@@elali64 no for real, that's her name
She's my favorite, subtle but helpful, and well, super wise and stuff haha

Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos
@@geoffreysorkin5774 i never had the chance to play bloodborne unfortunately
My 1st dark souls game, will ever be in my heart ❤️
so funny that the beginning of the story is about seeking cure for the undead curse, suddenly it changed into rekindling the first flame in the end...
It's part of the theme of the game. Undead gradually lose their memory and identity, your initial goal of recovering your life gets lost as you're guided towards the flame.
choo seah That is why you do things "without really knowing why". The curse/flame beckons you to get a strong soul and rekindle the flame
Uh, no shit... Rekindling the first flame is the only way to cure the Undead Curse.
I thought the age of dark ended the curse?
@@Japo006 It does, temporarirly, but it's also the cause of it in the first place. Breaking the cycle of light and dark is the only way to stop the undead curse, which is what Aldia and Vendrick push you towards
Im convinced that Majula is across the water from The Lands Between.
this is a voice of... the despair. We are waiting to be get curse and become a hollow. Keep your humanity and souls.
Play King Vendrik's theme while listening / watching this video at the same time! Chills!!!!
I love her so much
RUTH NEGGA
Emerald Herald with a voice from the Emerald Isle
I love this game so dam much. And as much as really like Shanalotte I think if i had a choice id vive all my souls to Nashandra.
Wow can you imagine if Nashandra had been the one leveling you up while being the final boss (and I guess "villain") the whole time? That would have been one hell of a plot twist. And also a good fit to the theme of greed the Queen had going with her.
My fav lines witch are
Curse is part of life itself.
No one will ever be rid of it.
So There's is only one other choice to await a worthy monarch
Monarch that can shoulder your burden
Lest this land swallow you whole.
As it had some many others.
For when the undead dies it is never truly undead but only one step close to hollowing not all undead are hollows but all hollows were once undead
Stay strong and do not loose hope even when you have precious little time.
Raina form Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.......
Better than the ds3 fire keeper. Try to change my mind
Bearer of the curse.. seek.. seek.. that's th... ok just gimme you souls and taku your fuckin upgrade level.
Muse of those who art accursed
Thou hath enlightened many with thine fine words
But there art many words thine mouth shalt speak
Words that wilt spread wisdom
I beseech thee, to nary stop saying
Bearer...
Seek...

For thine words shalt be remembered through the ages, never to be forgotten
Am I the only one who notices how much her voice changes after 6:39?
Thats her younger voice
Younger? I don't recall them showing her in the past...
read the wiki child, aka use the "magic" of google
Well that escelated quickly :P i respect your opinon doh
Lol it's not like you actually ARE a GCA, just weren't very helpful.
3:40 What tiny thing in the ruins is she talking about? The cat?
NinjaPiece maybe the rat king ? The cat could also work but the ruins throws me off
Every building in this game look like they're in ruins. The Emerald Herald refers to it as a she, so it's probably the cat.
Shanalotte is talking about Shalquoir the cat here.
seek souls... larger and more powerful souls... seek the king...
how conveniant don't you think?
***** stalker!
In life we are all either kings or pawns. Kings, or fools...
Thanks, I needed this!
***** Yours as well ^^
Majula feels safe, but Shanalotte makes it feel like home...
Do not resist, the dragon welcomes you.
This is so nice I love it.. nice asmr im hearing this before I go to sleep
0:33 my favorite part
I miss Shanalotte so much in dark souls 3. The fire keeper is dull and uninteresting.
to be fair neither are terribly interesting. They should've just let you level up yourself like in 1.
I love 'em both.
Mrlaneck I like how the "first" is always cooler. Like the first Link in Skyward Sword, or the first Chosen Undead.
oh Shanalotte ❤️
0:34 just gonna leave this here for myself
Top waifu
Se tem uma coisa que ninguém pode reclamar no ds2 é essa mulher.
This comment section doesn't have nearly enough bear seek seek lest memes, weird
I love she
* her
*falls asleep*
Ah yes
Bearer seek seek lest
Ruth Negga ♡
Horse but... What!!!
Is she talking about depresion? The curse Is depression, the monarch Is the Will, the Dragon Is power AND she Is your own soul
Seek misery
“Without souls, you will turn hollow”
But hollows also carry a decent amount of souls, sometimes a few hundred?
Isn’t hollowing based on lack of motivation or reason to exist?
Yes, as in, if you are not seeking souls you have probably lost your motivation and reason to exist.
Plus you have to take into account it is within her interest to see you succeed and gather more souls
She has two different voice tones! Past 6:30

Тhank you for telling me this. Much appreciated.
In dark souls she didn't have a tongue, now she wont shut up !
