I vividly remember this being the first time I had ever heard of or seen Dark Souls.
same man, was my gateway into being a lifelong souls fan
It's an item made to appeal to players wanting to find every little aspect about the game, with the tease to pick it as a starter item. Once you've tried everything in the game you go back and look at the description about memories of a journey, a journey to find its use when all it does is remind you of the times you spent exploring
The true pendant are the friends we made along the way.
"When it comes to the pendant, I actually had a little bit of an intention to play a prank."
**Seinfeld theme plays**
The Pendant plays Totaka's Song if you wait in a specific corner for 24 hours.
holy shit it's true it also plays moonlight sonata in dubstep if you wait 36 mord hours
SuperPiposaru and wily's castle for a week
Pop-Riction is one of GT's best shows. Wish they uploaded their retrospectives to UA-cam too.
I am addicted to pop fiction. My favorite is the ermac legend
It says it has fond memories for travelers. If I were the developer, I'd put some sort of easter egg in if the player picks it in the beginning of the game and takes it with them to the end.
really wish we could see some more of these, I really like them.
DestinyDK It's kinda been resurrected at Easy Allies as "Game Sleuth". They only have a few right now, but it's better than nothing!
I Need More Pop Fiction!!!!!!!
DUDE, MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GAME...EASILY PUT OVER 400 HRS INTO THIS GAME AND I'M STILL PLAYING IT, SERIOUSLY, BEST REPLAY ABILITY. THANK YOU *FROM SOFTWARE & THANK YOU POP FICTION FOR CHOOSING IT!
Best game ever made.
If I remember right, a dev for the game actually said the Pendant's main purpose was from a roleplaying perspective, and as a memento it allows you to flesh out your characters backstory more in your mind.
People (or at least some of the newer fans) tend to forget that initially Demon's Souls was in some ways tied or is a successor to the King's Field/Shadow Tower series, sharing some similarities. Perhaps THAT was indeed just the use of the pendant, as an easter egg. Still I loved what Miyazaki did and how the Souls game were desgined, it really brings that old school, fantasy delve into the unknown feel that the internet today has taken away.
I think that was the strange snake thing that pops out after the bells ring. I think it's him snoring.
SO u reinforce them to +5, then go to andre (after taking the large ember from the depths), with a large titanite hard to upgrade them to +6, then use large shards to upgrade to +10, then go to andre (after taking the very large ember from new londo ruins), with a titanite chunk and upgrade it to +11 then use chunks to upgrade to +14 and use a titanite slab to upgrade to +15.
The fire and chaos embers are to be given to vamos.
As said earlier I think u will be better off with a +15 weapon.
Yeah, I agree fire and chaos weapons are meant for more low level builds since they don't param with strength or dex.
I think it was originally a mistranslation of the text led this to what its become, as said in the new correct translation, "fond memories" this was probably more of either put in for nostalgia sake as a nod to the two previous FROM games, or more just as a tool, not for marketing but maybe to compel players to explore the game and make new memories from the experience, I think it would be safe to say everyone here has accomplished or found something else of value to take from this endeavour
I think the Pendant has no use in game, but it has the power to let people search for the answer and let you get more infolved into the story of Dark Souls. In my opinion, it is indeed the best item of the game.
the new episode is on their website.
Ty.
not to mention: writing the script, which alone takes a lot of time
This show needs to get updated more often shit man
I love these
Tomb of the Giants was particularly brutal.
Note, this may need to be updated with DS3 Dreamchaser's ash, confirming it does nothing.
yup, any other bosses you're having trouble on, or map areas? Besides all of it :)
The script is pretty much half written when they get all the information on the myth, and the results. All it is at that point, is a explanation of their findings more then reading, and writing a script.
IMO once you have high Str or Dex, elemental weapons are weak compared to a +15. With your build I would suggest Demon's great Machette, Great Club or any other Str weapon upgraded to +15. You can also try Black Knight weapons, like the BK Great Axe, BK Halberd, BK GreatSword.
with the Remake of Demons Souls, did they ever add a use for the pendent into the game or was it all just a massive troll?
please hear me out can you do a episode if you can get inside of the temple of time without have the 3 pendents
You realize how long their videos must take to make? Here's what needs done: Find an interesting game secret that they haven't already covered and that most people may not already know is real or fiction. Do research (which I am willing to bet they look for reliable sources, as opposed to wikipedia), test the myth, record their findings, edit the vid with gameplay footage, then upload it. That's a lot to do, and takes a lot more than a quick google search, even if it doesn't look like it.
wow...I can't believe I play minecraft as much as I do and not know this...so sudden...
Are you serious GT? You tried the empty chest method on the PTD edition, not the original buggy edition. Of COURSE it didn't work.
+Nobody Yeah but even if it did work, "The game going glitchy" is hardly some big secret reveal.
@@DragonNexus R/Woooosh
@@blackblood9095 Timely comment. A zinger 4 years in the making, champ.
Use or no use, perhaps there is an underlying story behind it, and those the few ways u can obtain it. It doesnt have to be used to have a story.
Maybe in DS2 the person or thing or wut eva YOU traded the pendent to WILL give it back but it will let you fly :D
its funny that the worst episode was also about Mortal Kombat... the Reptile episode. i mean WTF i did the reptile trick back when i was 5 years old... it was far from being a myth.
but over all yea... i love this series :D
According to the forums they want to do it on Pop Facts soon rather than Pop Fiction.
Herobrine is not a mystery. Notch has on more then one occasion said that Herobrine is a hoax and a mod. He never added him into Minecraft at all. And when he lists as taking Herobrine out of Minecraft, its been a running gag for a long time.
curses.
Awesome thought, the pendant dropped by invaders and the maiden girl and held by you give souvenirs of reprisals which are too come from darkmoons targets what if this is the games way of basically saying the pendant IS a souvenir of reprisal proof of someone's (a sinner's) death by your hand
+TheClassyGamer9596 Souvenirs of Reprisal are actually ears, even says in the item description.
Like the idea of how bounty hunters took ears of contract targets as an identifying object. As in, to prove that they were the one who killed the target.
+Drone Bird Hi honestly i don't know what i was saying back then i know a lot more now and completely agree that what i said was wrong.
But here is an interesting thought that I'm sure most people already thought of. What if it as originally going to be the broken pendant for the Abyss DLC. Like maybe they planned originally to have that in the game but couldn't fit it into the time restraint. Or what if the two possible pendants in the game ( i can't remember if there is more than the one dropped by the woman who teaches miracles and the gift ) are replicas of the broken pendant or the two halves were repaired and became two pendants. Not sure what impact this would really have in the lore but still a cool thought.
Right now my mind is more on the thought on why in Dark Souls 2 velkas raven (or a bird that looks similair) helps fly you to the lost bastille. Seems odd that i haven't seen a mention of that by almost anyone. But i have to beat the game first before i say much about that.
LEEROYYYYY JENKINS
I think the only purpose it serves, is that of a marketing device!
he should do a pop fiction to see if sonic and tails are in ssbm.
? It is past May 17.....
u guys should prove if herobrine is in the 360 version of minecraft
They mentioned that there was something really disappointing in mega man 9. Is that referring to their 'mega mystery' episode? If not what was it referring to?
it was
It's the 23rd, and no new video!!!
yeah
I love DARK SOULS
They should do a myth and see if Marty is in mario kart 64.
But Notch has already stated it's a hoax.
What happened with Megaman 9?
I smell Megaman...
yay :)
TETRAFORCE!
Can you make them faster?
7:57 ...????
I can't beat this game
hi

BASTARDOS
