Pretty sure the lore implied that only time ever that nito interacted with the outside world was during the fight against everlasting dragons

Gwyn (before the linking) and Izalith weren't insane, corrupted, or evil. Just ambitious people with agendas.

@@StephanuSneed Initially, they weren't. However, by the time you encounter them, all of them are, save Nito. That's why I feel bad about having to destroy him, since he's the only one still sane and doing his job.

I feel like plagueofgripes mentioned it in his LP I feel old that I completely forgot that

It's similar to the end of the Old Hunters DLC in Bloodborne. A clear, ominous hint that something is ahead.

Pretty nito huh?

Absolutely they make the world seem like it connects together that way you actually feel after eight years of playing Dark Souls I have memorized the entire game from memory

And most of them are correctly located relative to one another! Zullie's got another video on it on her channel, but if you can see somewhere else from the game world like this, it's usually in the right general direction/orientation. You can see this if you die somewhere then take the long way around - since player bloodstains are always loaded, you can die in the right place in Izalith, head to TOG, and then see the green particles in the distance.

Agreed. Every From game is amazing, but I still hold Dark Souls in such high regard for this very reason. Other games have done it, but never to this degree, at the time.

And within all those large parts you missed there's really not much worth getting besides silver serpent ring 😅

@@StrappingYoungLadam it's cool to explore it bro -.-

I somehow found Nito pretty quickly too. Next runs I got lost everytime, I was so scared when found the grave with 10 giant skeletons and had 0 estus :(

You only lose anything if youre looking to get a platinum on the game , with the weapon upgrade trophies

@@alexepic3255 No. No, it is not. It is not.

Bro I did the same thing, and I went through the lower part of Blighttown first before the Depths and got to the gate connecting the two and had to backtrack all the way back down Blighttown on that wonderful Xbox 360 framerate lol

@@alexanderson4497 pretty sure I've done this myself out of curious masochism. Thank goodness for homeward bones!

You know what? Thats a level of dedication I wish I had

Wait… THE SKULL LANTERN IS USED HERE?!? HOW?!?

@@tenacityxl put it in your left hand and use it, it marks the way

Not surprising. The Skull Lantern has a very low drop rate, though that rate goes up with every Necromancer you kill (until it drops, then it resets back to its base 2% chance). If you skipped some of the Necromancers, it's very likely you'd have never seen the item at all.

If you remember every inch of the map why didn't you find the skull lantern as loot in the pit of the first bonfire, where patches pushes you in? probably ran your way out of their and never returned 😂

@@ForeverLaxx ... Or you could just pick up the lantern in the pit Patches kicks you into lol. Or use Cast Light if you have the stats.

@@ThatRipOff Or use Sun Maggot helm.

Ah yeah my first run in dark souls surely had some really bad luck moments that made it extra difficult like never get a lantern for tomb of the giants. Along other discoveries that regular runs had.

Divine Club makes pretty short work of them ;)

@@jojoversus1100 I just go Divine Zweihander +10 and call it a day. Is it overkill?…. No it’s Dark Souls.

Stone tower always fucks

Souls*

That's right! It is surprising how many people fail in the sound department when making videos. The songs used on Zullie's videos fit the game being shown, I have no idea why the normal thing for almost every youtuber who decides to put a song over the video is for them to choose songs that not only do not fit the video theme at all but are also annoying as fuck most of the time. Props for Zullie for doing what is the most obvious, sensible thing to do when picking sound.

@@miguelnascimento2847 let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor.

I mean, it's a zelda soundtrack, I wouldn't be suprised if people are afraid of copyright, Nintendo doesn't exactly have a great track record with that stuff And if your talking about youtube videos like stuff from FighterPL I thing their music does fit their content, it's more fast pase actual combat and multiplayer and pranks and stuff, whereas this is calmly and curiously exploring an area. That music wouldn't work here but what is chosen here does.

They're especially visible when he does his lungh attack. He actually looks really cool in the light and I've liked him a lot more ever since seeing him better

@@walter1383 Digitigrade.

@@ForeverLaxx Correct.

Look at my leg! This is a cool leg! I don't know why I have this kind of leg, I didn't even see it by myself!

they aren't, giants are completely separate. they don't contribute to humanity drop, nor is there ever any case where they possess humanity.

@@moonlightostrich3690 The big skeletons can't be regular giants either, though, because they're too small. As others have pointed out, they might be remains of the gods' race.

I don't think there are really any differences between the "god" race and the human race, they only vary in size but their physical characteristics are the same and there don't seem to be any other differences between them in the three games. So it is not impossible that the giant skeletons, ringed knights, lords and humans are all simply the same race! The giants may be part of a different race and the term "giant" refers to several types of creatures encountered in the three Souls, so it's impossible to know if all these creatures are related to each other or not, nor if they are related to humans and lords. What seems to be certain is that the Tomb of the Giants does not refer to the giant skeletons that we meet or even to Nito, but rather to the giants that rested in the giant coffins that have been built in the meantime. It is also a proof that giants must have been very important in the civilization that preceded the advent of Gwen, and of which Nito was also an important character (Izalith too, the two kingdoms being connected and seeming to be complementary).

@@hkprx6911 the only difference between gods and humans is that gods aren't affected by the undead curse. Only humans are

@@Deadnight-ei6lp what are the factual proofs for that ?

It's only natural for a witch. What? You think all of them use brooms?

Zullie is like: scrue brooms and scrue gravity Proceeds to walk on air

@@dragonslayer3552 Zullie plays tennis with Archdeacon Royce (by means of hurling Archdeacon Royce across the box, I mean), so certainly she preferes active livestyle and to walk everywhere instead of using brooms.

I read that literally 1 second before it happened in the video, what the fuck

It’s replaced by dread? You saying you wouldn’t feel that in a giant underground tomb that is right next to the fiery land of demons and the old world of dragons long gone

Its supposed to be dreadful. It's a crypt of a dying/dead species that was wiped out and forced into servitude until extinction. Its vibe is very fitting.

Your comments remind me of how dark souls is a fantasy game played as a survival horror

Dark Souls IS dread

These coffins fill me with anticipation.

Love the acknowledgement of the majoras mask element... That game is awesome .

Nah, just no witch set in DS1

There is, you can find it in The Valley of Drakes after 4 Kings fight

It's between the tomb here and the valley in demon's. Those areas are horrible to explore

thats upper blightown for me until recently, I always skip it with the key

Bruh, it's so linear. You only have two or three branches and those lead to items that aren't essential for gameplay anyway (and it takes like, two minutes to explore those branches). Except for the smith tools or whatever they were called, but it's not that hard to find. The Forbidden Woods is far more complex and difficult to map.

@@Solaire_of_Astora13 ok? it's more about the general feel of Tomb. it just creeps me out and I hate doing it every time.

@@biggrocc19 I would argue that the fact that it's giving you an emotional reaction of any kind is interesting on itself. Honestly, some of the new games could use that variety in the scenarios imo. But it's fine if you don't like it 🤷‍♂️

My head canon is that only once he took the death soul did he become the first god to die

I also think that he both died and became the manager of death by taking the soul.

The name for the pygmies in japanese is actually a play on words. It means "lesser" or "smaller" people. And humans were "lesser" both size wise and also in that they were less civilized or less powerful than the gods' civilization.

Then what's with the more massive coffins, like the one where you find the Large Divine Ember? The only god that comes anywhere close to that size is Gwynevere's illusion, and her size could have simply been exaggerated by Gwyndolin. I think it's likely that the actual giants were buried here as well.

@@Dinoman972 We see her bed and her family, so we know she wasn't that big. We even see the statue that inspired her illusion. And it's literally called Tomb of Giants. Since the gods are never referred to as giants, while other creatures (like the actual giants) are, yes, that is a tomb for mainly giants, since humans are mainly buried in the catacombs above. Also, the gods seem to have buried their dead in Anor Londo, if Gwyn's and his knights' tombs there imply. However, the large stone coffins could simply be dwellings, or spaces for general use rather than actual coffins, being shaped like that because that's the architectural style of the Tomb.

Tomb with no light is the only way to do it!

And what is that silver knight doing here ?...

@@Mornepin That is a black Knight. Possibly a stray from after the war with the demons in Izalith

It's painfully obvious in DS2. Areas that were meant to be shrouded in darkness are fully lit, exposing tiled textures and unfinished level geometry. The fact those same flaws are present in DS1 but not noticeable goes to show how much the lighting system in DS2 harmed that game.

"And let the feast begin"

The ladders (other than being a necessary gameplay element) could have been built there by grave robbers.

Laddersmith Gilligan is a really good salesman.

@@backonlazer791 definitely done by the clerics, but that begs the questioning of their hollowed state upon your arrival, if they could climb out, why didn't they?

That's how it started for me too. Now I am a devoted explorer of all things Soulsborne.

@@StrappingYoungLadam it looks even creepier with the lights on because of the statues lol

You'd see all the repeating rock textures too clearly.

It actually makes me want to play Majoras Mask again 😅

Okay I'm playing Dark Souls remastered in my PS5

if you've played DS3 or Bloodborne... heck even DS2, it's honestly pretty hard to go back to DS1. The gameplay is dated by comparison, and the whole 2nd half of the game just feels so rushed.

@@AtypicalAdventurer I'm pretty guilty of having nostalgia for DS1. I can definitely agree that the PvP is pretty mundane especially compared to DS2 and 3, however the PvE and bosses hold a special place for me. Nothing is more memorable, and terrifying as trying to navigate blight-town at 5fps while also trying to micro-manage toxin, poison, and the infinite heat-seeking blood mosquitos.

@@AtypicalAdventurer you're right Dark Souls does drop the ball a bit in the second half of the game but still it's great to see the origins of the Dark Souls series it's worth a playthrough or heck many playthroughs because of how addicting the game gets the more powerful you become. I say bloodborne is the best Souls game mainly because it was one of the first 8th generation console games actually meet expectation and exceed them.

Probably couldn't be bothered to get around the hitbox just to showcase a dead end.

You know they had aggro disabled and Zullie never attacked them, right? .-.

@@alexepic3255 I’m sure they were able to tell since literally everyone including the boss doesn’t make a single move. They were just making an unserious joke.

@@Scuuurbs no wonder Nito made the gravelord covenant. He/it was probably napping when an earthquake and tree came ripping through his place and half his shit just fell everywhere. So then he probably made. a covenant to keep shit from getting even more fucked.

It's extremely useful for faith builds, or for Nito's fight if the skeletons give you trouble.

Yep nothing better than leaving an item at the end of a corridor where said item would be used most effectively _Game Design 100_

@@protonjones54 What do you mean? A divine weapon wouldn't help you much in the Tomb of the Giants unless you were a faith build, and it certainly wouldn't be particularly special in that room. It's good for the upcoming boss though. But yeah, it's not useless at that point, but should be located earlier.

@@Wveth Divine is the best weapon to use in Tomb of the Giants. It's the strongest against skeletons. I used a Divine Ricard's Rapier on my last playthrough & it was 1-shotting the 4 legged skeleton beasts things.

I never even knew this room existed

I don't see what makes you think Nito knows anything about pyromancy, but the Humanity cloak is definitely an interesting detail. It might have to do with the fact that the Rite of Kindling, which employs Humanity, used to be in his posession before Pinwheel stole it.

@@Dinoman972 Man not only gives you Warmth but will preform Sacred Flame on you. Nito *definitely* knows pyromancy.

@@TheKing-qz9wd None of those pyromancies even exist in DS1, so we have no proof Nito can use them. Sacred Flame was created by a bunch of barbaric pyromancers who believed themselves to be servants of the gods, which doesn't sound like Nito's doing at all, and while DS2's Warmth is sold by a Fenito in the Undead Crypt, a healing fire-based spell doesn't fit someone who is supposed to oversee and administer death.

@@Dinoman972 Ah but didn't Nito create the Fenito? (and Milfanito)
