    Hey everyone! We hope you like this different style. We know we have done Havel in a literal, analytical way before, so this time we have made it a story of legend! Some parts are what we think is most likely to have happened, but our imagination had to be involved to make this the most entertaining possible! If you want to watch the detailed lore behind Havel's story, check out our videos on him here:

    Havel's armour always intrigued me. It is so iconic while always feels so bizarre. Like something is wrong with it. Then I understand what was Infront of me all this time. The chains. His hands are chained, his shoulders are chained, his hips area chained. Even in later ages of DS2 and 3 this details always there. Then I remember a nifty item and its peculiar explanation in DS3; Prisoner's Chain : "A prisoner is one who has staked everything on a belief, a proclivity most apparent in the greatest of champions." What this item gives ? Well, 5 Vigor, 5 Endurance, 5 Vitality.

      @@JohnDoe-sq5nv I get that the description says worn by "followers of Havel" but then why would we find a set called "Havel's armor" in Anor Londo next to an occult club? Why would he be called Havel "The Rock"? It seems to be more accepted the armor was made in likeness to his.

    • @whitedrake6933
      @whitedrake6933 10 місяців тому +36

      @@Sylph_C0 I mean if he was an everlasting dragon, it would make sense that he was called "The Rock". Also, it could be called "Havel's Armor" because it's an armor made to resemble his characteristics, or even just because it's the armor that his followers wear. Think of it as in monster hunter, you can wear "Rathalos' Armor", but Rathalos isn't a warrior. And the occult club, well, if it's armor was worn by followers of him, would it be so strange that next to a warrior's armor there's a weapon?

    • @JohnDoe-sq5nv
      @JohnDoe-sq5nv 10 місяців тому +46

      @@Sylph_C0 Exactly as whitedrake6933 says. The armor set explicitly states that Havel's Set was worn by his warriors. Either we care about the item descriptions or we don't and feel free to make up our own "lore". Adding to that, the Havel Knight that we do find and fight in Dark Souls is also wearing Havel's ring. It's item description is:
      "This ring was named after Havel the Rock, Lord Gwyn's old battlefield compatriot.
      Havel's men wore the ring to express faith in their leader and to carry a heavier load"
      And similar in Dark Souls 3. Meaning that there are:
      1. Multiple rings
      2. They are worn by his knights.
      Multiple rings definitively means multiple armor sets, which is also consistent with the fact that we find several Havel Knights across the trilogy. With two of them showing up in Dark Souls 2.
      It makes more sense if Havel's following was some draconic sect considering the fact that they wear equipment coming from dragons and that resemble something rock-like. Reminds me quite a lot of those who collect dragon scales to become more dragon like.
      "Dragon scale for reinforcing dragon weapons. Peeled from an ancient dragon.
      A dragon is inseparable from its scales, and the transcendent apostles, who seek the perpetuity of the ancient dragons, have crossed the very end of the earth to seek this invaluable treasure."
      No matter, pointing out one single Havel Knight and calling him "Havel" is at best hilariously inconsistent with the lore we are given. At worst an intentional omission of known facts to fit the chosen narrative.

    On my first playthrough, whenever I collected something from Havel, I put it on! I just loved the idea of being a man, knowing everyone around you is using their faith and intelligence to come up with new kinds of attacks. But you? You push through, a simple method put through perfection making you one of the biggest assets of an enourmous army. Thank you for the video Hawkshaw !!

      @samael4550 11 місяців тому +19

      I can appreciate the hell out of the mindset, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like it’s also unfair to paint Havel as some oaf who only knew how to rely on his strength, he also showed signs of having very high faith. He CREATED two very powerful miracles in order to combat (or rather nullify) magical power. Even if he relied mainly on his strength, to say he completely ignored using his faith on the battlefield is a little too far I feel like. The miracles may not have been his most powerful asset, but they were specifically mentioned to be a part of his arsenal, so his use of them was at least somewhat apparent to the people around him if it survived history as long as it has.

      @PartialProphet you’re drawing parallels with the real life modern world in relation to a world where God-like figures provably exist and communicate with mortals. I’m also gonna have to heavily disagree with your notions about faith being antithetical to intelligence, even in the modern day, but especially because the game is based on medieval knights, not 21st century people. Most medieval knights would have obviously been _heavily_ religious, but also amongst the most educated and intelligent people in the population. Intelligence doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ‘right’ about everything, it’s your ability to decipher the information given to you by the world around you. They would have been amongst the most well mannered, well spoken, and well read people in a society. Doesn’t mean all the information they had was correct, and since they had much less overall information, they relied on faith much more for explanations to things, but faith and intelligence are not mutually exclusive.
      I’m also more than willing to have an argument about why IQ is a flawed way to measure intelligence, and also looking deeper into whatever studies you’re referencing to check the veracity of your claims, but I’m refraining from writing an entire essay on that subject in this comment section lol, for now.

    Havel has always reminded me of chess. His armor is like a chess piece. He is the perfect struggler knight. Just like guts. Ty Miyazaki ty for so many hours of truly memorable and honestly formulative time I've spent of the souls series. The art the ideologies have always been very appealing to me.

    Me and my brother's favorite theory when playing ds1, our first fromsoft game, was that the havel in the tower was not the real havel but one of his knights and hes still out there hunting dragons like a boss. In fact when we met a havel knight next to dead dragon in ds3 we starting screaming "WE FOUND HIM! HES STILL ALIVE!" It was the most peak moment for us in the series

    Given that Havel was one of the gods per Great Magic Barrier's japanese description and not a bishop, Gwyn probably shared his soul with him like with the rest of the gods, as stated by Gwyn's soul. It also means that all the speculation relating to the woman holding the White Seance Ring falls apart.

    I feel like Havel was once the size of the Iron Golem or Smough. But he probably harassed some maiden somewhere and Gwynn went into damage control and banished him to the bottom of that tower. And banned his Twitter account.

    This point doesn't make sense.
    Undead Clerics belonging to the Way of White are routinely sent on missions to obtain the Rite of Kindling as a larger part of the dogma the Church proliferates (i.e. linking the flame and ending the curse of undeath). Bonfires are a creation of the Gods in response to Hollowing and were designed to assist the Undead so missions like this became a regular occurrence.
    The Rite itself is handed down amongst those clerics as per the item's description in-game which means the rite is as old as the Church and was likely a ceremony initiated by Lloyd when he founded it.
    The Church demonizes Undeath and Hollowing which is why those who are Undead are sent to retrieve the Rite of Kindling in order to atone for this perceived sin.
    ***************************
    I understand in your description you say you're not sticking purely to item descriptions, but then my question is which item descriptions are you sticking to and which ones are you excluding for the sake of your story?

    • @Ale-dd3ek
