Hello everyone! As some of you already know, I've been working on this video and the sequel for the Elden Ring parody simultaneously. There will be a full announcement for that soon. The sequel is ambitious...so all kinds of support, even if small, would be a huge help.

By order of lord Gwyndolin your artistic depiction of the Goddess of sunlight Gwynevere is heresy, punishable by death.

Came for the archers, stayed for the Shovel Knight reference.

I was NOT ready for the Smough cannibal moment Forgot how scary he is in the lore

HAHAHA the painting guardian falling off completely on their own, so accurate.

"So the ledge ends were true" DKRBRIR that got me, my man 😂

6:29 Laughing my ass off at how Sekiro's corpse is still there. Amazing stuff as usual

There's an old saying in my family that goes: "Those who wander with an helmet on, they don't have to animate their mouths. And so the animation, comes out even faster!" -The Pruld [Dork Souls 3 "Seasoning Ash"]

As someone who started playing the remastered just a few days ago, this PERFECTLY encapsulates every singly little thing in the ridiculous but beautiful experience ds1 was.

Not only did you make Smough disturbing by the nature of him being a cannibal but I was not ready for a Evangelion reference soon after. Amazing work as always and nice style on Ornstein fighting, very smooth.

I do love how you captured the jank of DS1

La reference a Evangelion mi ha totalmente colto alla sprovvista

I think that horrible ledge is the single most frustrating moment of my entire first Dark Souls playthrough

During Elden Ring he cheesed a lot of bosses making me consider he never managed to git good... But today he defeated Ledge, Demon of Heights With the support of other cursed, I'd like to honor Shez with the title: Souls Veteran!

Surprise Illusory Wall cameo. Love it. Another solid entry, my man.

This is canonically how the window got broken before/after the rafters

2:33 "So the ledge-ends were all true..." I shouldn't have laughed at that as much as I did lol

Missing Federico ❤️

Each of your Dork Souls Short parody is getting better and better! No rushing the parodies, always take your time.

'Dark Souls short parody' 12 minutes long. I love you Matthew

Thank you for giving me the chance to voice Gwyndolin in this, I really had a blast doing it 😇 This turned out so well! It makes me want to play Dark Souls again after so many years :D

I'll never get tired of Ornstein and Smough's theme. But that aside this was a great animation.

I gotta give u props @Shezmen88 for the very first minute where you spin the halberd/flail. Because the sound moved along with the screen as he moved from Left and right and that just gave my brain a good tickle!

8:56 I love the snorlax door.

The timing is incredible. I recently started a new game in DS1 a few days back and I'm JUST today entering Anor Londo. Nicely done

Matthew, I don’t know if you’ll see this, But I want to let you know that you’re One of the best animators out there. Your animations are very appealing to me since I am a big dark souls fan and seeing the game mixed with humor like yours makes me smile every single time I see one of your animations. Hopefully you continue to grow even more bigger in popularity then you are now so then people can witness your great animations!

4:00 Was that freaking CORVO ATTANO back there?!

4:15 hahaha, well most people had the "Dark Knight Great sword" by this point to deal with them, too bad Shez didn't. Hope you were wearing the ring of favor and protection 😂

That was a ton of fun lol! Thanks for the DS1 Video dude!

I'm gonna be sad when these end... They're so good

As a wise Italian once said “wear a helmet so you don’t have to animate the speaking”

7:29 YES,THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME,YOU PORTRAYED IT SO WELL

This was even better than I thought it would be--I can't wait for an eventual mega video compiling all of the Dark Souls 1 shorts. I especially loved the Tarkus bit, was such a satisfying followup to the preceding joke

Dude managed to make a masterpiece longer than most I’ve seen on KZfaq, amazing job capturing our pain but enjoyment once again Makes me want to go neck and replay DS1 once again

Dude your animation just keeps getting better and better! Same goes for the sound editing and cinematography. That scene where you discover the Havel-mobile, and it roaring to life with the lights in the dark has got to be my favorite part.

The part where he picks up the elite knight set as an upgrade was so incredibly realtable.

I appreciate the mantis lords on 5:50

8:25 I thought he was going to push him

Love ur parodys so much, bro! I could watch them for an whole eternity!

OML you just unburied the ptsd FOR THAT GODDAMN LEDGE, IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN A BOSS. I remember being 14 years old and absolutely losing my shit to those two silver knights camping that ledge with a greatbow, oh the horrors.....regardless it made me so happy to see that you are still making these animations for this series, you never fail to crack me up and this series has become one of those core memories of youtube that you look back on and smile a decade later, thank you.

Seeing ornstein and smough jet skying angrily was amazing. Love your work as always!

Awesome, so funny to watch. I am grateful for all the work you put into content for us viewers to enjoy! I gotta admit, it threw me for a loop actually hearing Illusory Wall. I didn't think it was him until I saw the voice acting credits. So awesome!

Hello! First time Dark Souls player here in PC. I can't stop laughing at how very relatable most of these are, it's giving me Anor Londo PTSD flashbacks as well as Ornstein and Smough PTSD flashbacks Great video too, the animation is smooth!❤

its amazing seeing how far you’ve improved over the years in animating these! amazing video as always Shez!

illusorywall cameo was awsome !

The insane amount of detail in these skits is so refreshing to watch. And as someome who knows a thing ore two about souls it just a treat.

Man i love your videos so much. Always looking for the next parody video. Keep up the good work 💪

Love it. Your parodies are what got me into Souls series in the first place.

6:00 the Hollow knight easter egg ist superb🦆

Stellar, once again! I love all the little details and easter eggs, like the split-second glint of red eyes during the Anor London joke, and Shovel Knight money drop. And Anor Londo itself was done beautifully! Absolutely wonderful to look at, and it got some good chuckles out of me too. Well done, *_very_* well done.

This animation is LIT! The details, the lighting, the expressions, wow. Good job! Also the attention to detail with easter eggs and winks to other series, good job!

Always bangers. Consistent quality on all fronts

04:00 Damn, for some reason I'd really like to see something about Dishonored right now

didn't expect a NGE and a godzilla parody in the same joke... and I'm probably still missing a piece of the hole puzzle there oh and... THERE IS A FREAKIN' BONFIRE THERE? O_O

Thank you for all your animations my friend, sometimes life is very stressful for me especially since I’m in the military and hardly get much time to myself but you make my days easier whenever you put something new out or I rewatch all the others! Thank you for doing what you’re doing and keep it up, you are very talented and I have no doubt you brighten many others days.

Godlike quality as always! Thank you for your awesome work, every one of your movies just makes me so happy! :)

Thank you for all your amazing content, 🎉🎉🎉 the time and effort that goes into the masterpieces is incredible

Love the "missing federico" poster at 10:28!

Good job bro, I swear ur cartoons always save my day. Keep up the good work ❤️💪 I can only imagine how much time u put in each scene 🙏❤️

That 3 silver knights scene was FOUL 😂

8:18 that's the face of saying "No Way!"

This is absolute top tier content, I love it!

Dude… your animation made a huge leap forward. Love the development. I enjoyed every second ❤

The Painting Guardian jumping off the ledge yelling, "I must jump forward for no reason!!!" Has got to be one of the funniest moments ive ever seen in a youtube video!!! 100/10 on that part, Shez!!

I love these parodies so much. Makes me wanna go play Ds1 again for the 20000th time to re-live all of this nightmare fuel 🤣 Definitely plan to sub to Patreon again once I'm more financially stable 🥰 Thank you so much for making such incredible souls' game parodies 🤩

So glad to see you use the halberd too, my favourite DS1 weapon and my mainstay throughout the game.

Absolutely love this. Another amazing entry to the series my man

Your work is absolutly insane, I want to see more dork souls video ❤️

Fooled me at the 5:00 mark, I figured Smough was going to jump off the balcony like Ornstein during the cutscene and go right through the floor.

I think the Demon's Souls video will be awesome when he is just dragging around a bag full of grass. This one is almost as good as the first video - Covers all of the fun instances with awesome callbacks!

Your animation keeps getting better and better!

Well done! This was fun to watch and I loved all the little references!

11:10 missed a potential jojo reference there, but again, quality work, good job!

Premium video! I love these references especially the Sekiro one XD

11:08 - 11:12 Dang that was so clean. Like wow.

You continue to produce funny, high quality animations. They are always a pleasure to have pop up in my feed.

Woow, you really put extremely efford to ths video. I feel it is much matured version(quality of animations and angles of scenes) of previous ones. I like jokes and references. Great work.

just for the fact you animated the painted guardians killing themselves that deserves a like.

I LOVE those details in your videos

Perfect as always, love your animations❤

Can't wait for the Blorbonr parody 🔥

A masterpiece as always! Loved the little Alucard reference btw

It never ceases to amaze me how much quality is shown in these videos. Once again, it's awesome stuff. Smough taking that spear got me good though.

Awesome video, as always😂. Thanks for making this one.

6:19 I always seen that Smough charge attack like this, ESPECIALLY when he did multipe in a row

Loved the video! I used a black halberd in my first play trough and my friend kept saying my weapon was to strong, so the part at 8:39 cracked me up good 😂

great animations like allways thank you kindly u did fantastic job mate

Happy Bday again Chez! 6 years ago today the prophecy was told. One game left!

Prey reference 3:42

9:28 Yup, I missed that anor londo bonfire too. I was pretty pissed when I found it a lot later.

another masterpiece! love the content Shez!

Ive been looking forward to this. I've been waiting for this.

between ornstein's insane dashing, and smough just smashing through a pillar when trying to take a rest, it is all amazing

I went dark on this one because I wanted it to be a surprise - these take ages, but they are always super fun!

Love these bro, Amazing work!!!!

That ledge truly is the hardest boss in any soulslike

Holy smokes I just realized that the chandelier falling way back in seasoning ash is tied into this one. Because Friede sent him back to DS 1 through the painting.

You seriously went from the beginning of Anor Londo to the boss area for 7 hours without checking that door!?

as always awesome. great work

One of your best. Great video!!
