Today I learned that it takes about 2 minutes to walk past a hydra

to think one of those fuckers jumps out of water and right over your head, just to get you
Heh I didn't realised that coz I was watching it on 2x speed
@@fraxterranto6104 I watched it at 2x, clicking -> constantly.
I gotta say that they Hydra is a lot more intimidating once you see its entire body. But I'd say the opposite for The Bed of Chaos.
Ikr, I always wondered who was biggest out of the hydra and ceaseless, surprised how much bigger hydra is! thought they'd be similar.
Robthetank001 ceaseless is the biggest

Magnus is the Furtive Pygmy.
@@J0NI. nope Manus was a human, not a Lord.
@@waozu1922 i though Manus was Furtive Pygmy bus he was corrupted by the Abyss he created himself
nah he was just a really old human they exhumed and tortured to extract humanity from, and then he went mad and created the Abyss, corrupting everyone around him with his wild humanity.
@@jeremyabbott4537 i think that could be both, some people tortured the furtive pygmy and then he went nuts

Twist: The crow is normal sized, everyone else is tiny.
that's some Pikmin shit right there
Sif would be normal sized in that case 🤔
@@luckybyte the plot thickens..
Imagine hearing something weird in your kitchen at knight, you turn on the lights and there is a gaping dragon in the floor.
DEEP LORE
I noticed the names changed halfway through, so I kept getting worried the further you walked under the Hydra before it's name showed up.
Well,what about the high lord Wolnir
This is exactly why a VR Dark Souls would be too scary
Not only that, but the combat mechanics that are inherent to all souls games wouldn't translate into VR at all - if you've played a few VR games then you could easily understand why this is the case.
im down for the challenge
man what a shame if Dark soul VR exsisted there is no reason to be alive because
you already going to die because facing all these HOrrfying bosses in VIRTUAL
REAL LIFE is GOD DAMN SCARY EVEN SCARIER THAN HELL IT SELF
the reason we are not afarid of most of the bosses and other enemies
is because they arent real so we arent scared but if it was a VR to me PERSONALLY
i would 100% going to wet my pants and INSTANLY going to take my VR headset OFF
Don't really think it would work, but it would be cool if they used the same level design and assets and made the combat VR friendly
@@cstill the only possible way of playing a VR Dark Souls would be using a great shield bcuz dodging is out of the conversation

His daughter is the biggest humanoid in the series lol
@@Morbak546 Technically speaking that’d be either Yhorm, or Wolnir, if we’re talking about anything with two legs two arms one head and a torso, all of human proportions relative to one another and all connected at the right place.
I wouldn’t put it past nashandra’s human form and Vendrick to be as big as Gwynevere though, same for Filianore, close to at least.

pick one
Also Gough, piss them off enough
Although andre, gough, both undead merchants and the giant blacksmith are friendly NPCs, all of them are handled by the game as enemy models. More accurately, chars. Other NPCs, like Solaire, Patches and the rest of humans are built using the same avatar creation module as we do, when we start a new game. The also carry an standard armor set.
@@migue0583 and they turn into enemies if you attack them
@@migue0583 that's interesting. I never thought about it but I guess it would make sense to make your games characters with the available engine for it. It's cool that they built some of the npcs with the boss and enemy creation set up.
you boutta catch these legs bitch
I always remembered the hydra as monstruous and intimidating, good to see it really was all that big.
yeah it's terrifying if you see it jump from one side to the other in ash lake.
@@riverajustinmarks. the first time I saw it jumping I closed my eyes for a second, I was literally afraid of it
@@BlackestOfFates I'm glad I'm not the only one terrified by that Hydra.
Ash Lake as a whole is unnerving and unsettling to go to let alone hang out at for an extended period of time.
@@Zelphiez
i feel like ash lake doesnt get the recognition it deserves, genuinely the scariest part of the game imo
The fact that this isn't even nearly all of the different enemies you fight really puts into perspective how dense and diverse this game is.
Nah dude, this is almost all if you don't count a few of the doc enemies and some you rarely encounter

Just wanna say I've been looking for a definitive comparison for dark souls enemy sizes for years to no avail, thanks so much for making this!
Is the moonlight butterfly really bigger than Seath though?
Not exactly definitive.
@@16m49x3 I think the size comparison was done by how tall the model could reach. If you look closely when moonlight butterfly flaps her wings they reach a point taller than seath's wings
@@16m49x3 I was gonna agree with you, but I looked at some videos and it checks out. The exception is the moonlight butterfly, definitely doesn't look as big in game footage.
Also, I'm pretty sure these models are extracted straight from game data so they're definitely accurate.

They look so much bigger when you see them like this
Because it aint 100 percent correct
@@saeedn3502 It most likely is. I'm pretty sure the character models are taken from the game files, so they appear as they do in-game.
Besides, I double checked with gameplay videos because I too was suspicious at first. Moonlight butterfly is still iffy but I can tell you that everything I checked (didn't bother to check all) including Seath and the Hydra are really that big. Pretty amazing.
To me they look smaller
3:30 When the video is only half way, but the enemies are already 4 times bigger than you.
thanks for doing this! do you have any plans to do either ds2 or ds3?

I sure hope he is.
Haha, not ignored. Just missplaced. Maybe I will. I already have the models from DS2, but I need to sort them and build the showcase.
@ LMAOO it is indeed in my face
@@migue0583 please, I would like to see ancient dragon compared to player lol.
Nito has feet? I always assumed he levitated.
Also damn Gwynevere is huge. Why is she so large? No one else in her family is so giant.
@@khajiitimanus7432 "Or, maybe, Gwyn had remarried like Zeus in Greek Mythology, and liked them big for a time." - isn't Gwyn her father?
@@khajiitimanus7432 Don't you ever find it odd that the sizes of humans and giants very often mix in the Dark Souls universe? Like, the silver knights are abnormally large, and so are the Channelers, Smough, and the queen in DS2. All immense. And all human. Humanity was shoveled as a concept in DS3 for design reasons, but the series very much love to depict the giants as a different, naiver kind of hollow. But you'd assume that, before having assholes for faces they were perfectly humanoid. I think there is something we haven't found yet, that throws light on these differences. Also, there is the fact that, just like in Demons Souls, people project their demonic Selves, which means that they all are different extrapolations of their original selves. In that, size varies too.
@@khajiitimanus7432 Gigantism is an enigmatic aspect of the series overall, at least to me. I've played all souls series games. That is because tallness is associated with power, as many of the bosses show. Yhorm is pretty much the only giant whose face appears in-game. Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 all very clearly show that the giants purposely covered their faces. Whether because it was their will, or because they were despised in appearance. The precursor to Yhorm in Demon's Souls is shown to have a mouth and nose as well. But still, they are not interactive as human npcs are. The exception here is Hawkeye, but he too never shows his face. Also, in Demon's Souls, the broken archstone is the one that leads to the land of the giants. From the very beginning, the Souls series put the giants in a reclusive position, either servile or malicious, and formerly glorious (Old hero and Yhorm). Those two, along with the foreign conquering giants of DS2, show something strange: civilized, powerful beings end up in an inferior situation and subordinated to the old gods, wich are the core of royalty.
Actually, if the Old hero and Yhorm end up fighting against the chosen one, they are directly fighting against the divine royalty.
@@khajiitimanus7432 Considering that DS3 is pretty much a decaied version of a recurringly, cyclically decaying world, being undead and unkindled are pretty much the same thing, except that the unkindled do not rot or putrefate. Likely because of technical choices in development, as the players were probably tired of playing as chunks of dried meat unless when using humanity. They are just victims of a curse that is not really thereto benefit the old gods, but they have found a way to manipulate it in their favour. For a while. All in all, the old gods perished as humans did. Divinity is not immortality in Dark Souls, except for the Abyssal deities, and you are just a match waiting to burn.
Depth perception is weird. I would have never thought that Four Kings are taller than Kalameet

makes it extra freaky when the one in Ash Lake just casually jumps over to the other side. imagine running out of the fireline of a seven-headed monstrosity that has been spitting balls of pure fuck you in your general direction only for it to jump over a large dune revealing itself to be some 150m long and go 'I ain't done with you, you little shit'
I've played through this game so many times and I never realized just how many enemy types there are until now lmao
I never noticed that Gwyn is one of the smallest bosses in the game. He feels a lot bigger when you fight him.
0:28 From here, The enemy is taller than you.
I never really noticed until now, but these sizes in proportion to their lore and character are all fuckered to hell. None of this shit is consistent, or makes a lick of since, but. This video is great. Thank you for your hard work.
The Hydra makes me so uncomfortable, I don´t know why, especially when I´m fighting with it
Me overthinking every awkward situation of my life while trying to fall asleep.
gwyn vs gwynevere is the metaphore of how it feels like to be a 5ft11 daddy who has a 6ft tall daughter
I’m so used to seeing Ornstein standing next to Smough that I didn’t notice how fucking massive he is
Thank You! Though, I do have an idea you could maybe implement in future ones~ Having one enemy from every (or just some) size group(s) (preferably an iconic enemy like the Black Knights for example) follow along to compare with other enemies.
