Getting sif to the fight hits so much harder after this video came out. Alvina, the cat guardian in darkroot forest. still guarding him in our time, leads you to him if you find her shade on the caverns. It also plays into the theory (though I think it’s confirmed) that Darkroot Garden is the remains of Oolacile.
Darkroot Garden is the Royal Woods/Oolacile. The landmasses are mostly the same, and the all the trees are in the same places, except the ones in the past are naturally smaller.
The Legend of Artorias is indeed a tragedy, the nature of the abyss is sad and filled with despair. One might wonder, what if Gwyn never fought the cycle and let the fire fade, would things be better then? I guess we'll never know for sure do we?
oh no better definitly, the world decayed during the age of fire because it was outlasting it's intended duration, dark souls is a universe of cycles, if you try to stop the wheel, the universe will wack you
@@MrLekorrigan No, you are wrong, Dark Souls was never a universe of cycles, it was supposed to be a straight-line forward but Gwyn broke the rules and made a cycle.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 The flame will never truly die, it just gets weaker and weaker until the dark age come, the age of humans who have the dark soul. As stated in : Dark Souls 2 "No flame, however brilliant, does not one day splutter and fade. But then, from the ashes, the flame reignites, and a new kingdom is born, sporting a new face." Dark Souls 3 by the Fire Keeper when you give her Eyes : "In the far distance, I sense the presence of tiny flames. Like precious embers, left to us by past Lords, linkers of the fire. Could this be what draws me to this strangely enticing darkness ?" Also in the cutscene from the ending "The End of Fire" : "The First Flame quickly fades. Darkness will shortly settle. But one day, tiny flames will dance across the darkness. Like embers, linked by lords past." After the Dark Age a new age of fire will be born, until this one also disapear, like a cycle of light and dark, or a cycle of life and death. And it's also because of this cycle, between flame and dark age, than the world start to crumble like Dreg Heap in Dark Souls 3 DLC. I could continue to detail but you got my point
@@eternaldestiny5232 The world is the way it is in Dark Souls 3 because of the cycle created by Gwyn. Like I said, it was not suposed to be a cycle but Gwyn decided to link the first flame. NOTHING INDICATES A NEW AGE OF FIRE WOULD NATURALLY APPEAR, after the age of dark is unknown what would happen.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 Then i will continue to explain : Kaathe in Dark Souls 1 reveal the truth about Hollow and the flame, and tried to push the choosen undead to a new path : "The truth I shall share without sentiment. After the advent of fire, the ancient lords found the three souls. But your progenitor found a fourth, unique soul. The Dark Soul. Your ancestor claimed the Dark Soul and waited for Fire to subside. And soon, the flames did fade, and only Dark remained. Thus began the age of men, the Age of Dark. However… Lord Gwyn trembled at the Dark. Clinging to his Age of Fire, and in dire fear of humans, and the Dark Lord who would one day be born amongst them, Lord Gwyn resisted the course of nature. By sacrificing himself to link the fire, and commanding his children to shepherd the humans, Gwyn has blurred your past, to prevent the birth of the Dark Lord. I am the primordial serpent. I seek to right the wrongs of the past to discover our true Lord. But the other serpent, Frampt, lost his sense, and befriended Lord Gwyn. Undead warrior, we stand at the crossroad. Only I know the truth about your fate. You must destroy the fading Lord Gwyn, who has coddled Fire and resisted nature, and become the Fourth Lord, so that you may usher in the Age of Dark!" It's only in Dark Souls 3 that Kaathe come back with a new plan in head. He still seek for a lord, but this time, he don't want the end of fire, he want a hollow to CLAIM the fire. But why whould he change his plans ? After all, we already know a world without the light of the flame, a dark world in Dark Souls 3 called : Untended Graves In this place, it was too late to link the first flame, and the Dark Age started. But, we found in this place someone we know, the Shrine Handmaiden. And if we talk to here in this place, she will have a different dialogue when we will talk to here again. Also if i look at the wiki : darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Untended+Graves Interestingly, and perhaps with lore significance, messages left here - be it in the graveyards, boss arena, or dark shrine - show up in the 'regular' versions as well, and vice versa. For example, leave a message in the dark shrine, and return to the Firelink Shrine. You will find this same message in the same location. Geographically, the area is still in the correct location. In this case, you have merely walked to the graves, rather than "woke up" or bonfire-warp to them. The tower key can be bought in this dimension, but the tower behind the dark shrine cannot be accessed; the door is noninteractive. Also the ladder is absent. You can still jump onto the shrine's roof using the tree behind the shrine. The Crow's nest on the rafters is absent. If you havent previously gone through the illusory wall or gotten the Silver Serpent Ring, doing so in Dark Firelink will do the same in normal Firelink. In the menu to quit the game where the character's profile appears with time played, the location will be "cemetery of Ash" and not "Untended Graves". From technical point of view Cementary and this location are the same. If you "noclip" (cheat allowing flying and ignoring collison) from your starting location in Cementary of Ash you will arrive at Oceiros boss room. If you try to return from there you will arrive at Untended Graves. Do note that under normal circumstances you can leave Cementary of Ash only through bonfire warping. It's exactly the same place ! And we know it's a place from the past because if we talk to a Shrine Handmaiden from the future she wouldn't be able to remember us in the present. But is stated that Gundyr was too late to link the fire, and then the age of dark come... so why we play a game where the fire is still alive ? Unless... "The First Flame quickly fades. Darkness will shortly settle. But one day, tiny flames will dance across the darkness. Like embers, linked by lords past." Dark Age is a natural cycle, after the Age of Dark, the Age of Fire come. And after the Age of Fire, it's also the Age of Dark. And that's why Kaathe change his plan, because the true Age of Mens and Dark Lord isn't eternal like the Age of Fire with Gwyn. Letting the flame fade isn't a permanent solution. And that's why the 3rd ending "usurpation of fire" is here, to put a end to a cyle.
That howl that Sif does in the cutscene breaks my heart every time now. I'll be perfectly fine, then I see that scene, his face, and I hear him whining, and my eyes just water and I can't help but whisper to the screen: I'm sorry.. old friend
Artriaus backstory is so heart breaking, but he is still humanity hero along with sif. I wish we didn't get to kill them both, I ended up crying in the end
One of your problems with lore is not exhausting Npc dialogs. Not only do you miss what they say sometimes, you miss what they give you. Example exhaust dialog with the Old Hag Merchant and she moves to Majula.
I thought I was pretty good with that, but Christ, just today I found out that the Crestfallen Knight will tell you he saw a guy curled in a ball get carried away by the giant crow. I guess that's how people figured out you could go back to the asylum.
I couldnt continue the storyline for siegemyer cause i couldnt bear the burden of see his daughter cry over hers dad body but i did the story on xbox 360 after i put down the controller and started to cry same was for sif
Personally, I think that if you complete Siegemeyer's quest to Ash Lake the reason why he goes hollow is not that you robbed him of adventures but because he's been almost everywhere in Lordran at that point (to get that ending you have to meet him in all other places around) so he just run out of adventures. After all, it's true that you give him a hand every time you meet him but it's also true that he reaches those places alone, with his own strenghts, before you do. As for the rest, I think DS3 has overcomplicated things and sometimes people that come up with theories and interpretations tend to make rather weak connections. In this case, I don't agree with some of the links made to Artorias' DS1 lore and his story was already poetic and coll in DS1, without further complication.

Oolacile became Darkroot and Darkroot became Farron Keep

The Lore of Dark Souls is so deep and interesting! It’s amazing! 🤗
As deep as the Abyss.
I mean, a lot of that has to do with the fact that it is open to interpretation...
The Legend of Artorias is indeed a tragedy, the nature of the abyss is sad and filled with despair. One might wonder, what if Gwyn never fought the cycle and let the fire fade, would things be better then? I guess we'll never know for sure do we?

Ahh...Sif...there you are.

This story hits me hard....i hug my dog everytime i hear it.😢😢😢

There are no happy endings in dark souls.
That's the truth about the world in Dark Souls; there are no happy endings. But...
There are exceptions. Very few.

You Should react to yhorms lore next hes one of my favorite Dark souls characters :)
I wasn’t the only one who heard the name Artorias thought about King Arthur?

I couldnt continue the storyline for siegemyer cause i couldnt bear the burden of see his daughter cry over hers dad body but i did the story on xbox 360 after i put down the controller and started to cry same was for sif
Would be interested to see your reaction to the Elden Ring stories that this guy has made, if you Haven't already.
