Sorry about pronunciation, I don't know how I messed that up especially with English being my native language and all. If there's any others please reply under this comment. (so far I have Priscilla, Ithryll, heinous)

Gwynevere has a proper dragon fetish

Solaire becoming a worm makes less sense than him turning/being turned into soup

Its possible that the "untended graves" is actually in the past, as more proof is from the old women merchant, if spoken to before the original firelink shrine merchant, the original old women merchant would actually give a unique dialog as if she has met you before and is suprised to see you again And champion Gundyr is actually Gundyr at his prime strength hence the name "champion" before being taken over by the puss of men Also the reason there is only one giant crystal lizard in the original path to the original firelink shrine is because the other has died leaving one alive

Listening to someone talk about community memes like Solaire being the sandworm with a completely serious tone is so funny. Great vid man.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate my man doing the one punch man move with Aldrich really right here 6:08

We have alpha content of the dragon king holding a baby, probably removed for restrictions for showing baby crushing.

please, never call priscilla priskilla ever again

The Untended Graves timeline is set long before your character starts his journey. If you never talk to your hand maiden at fire link shrine, talk to the handmaiden in the Untended Graves, and then finally talk to the hand maiden at Firelink shrine she says “Oh thou'rt... Oh, no, 'tisn't anything Ashen One...” implying that she remembers you from long ago.

Fun Fact: A theory is something that has the support of substantial evidence. A hypothesis is basically just an educated guess.

The "Solaire is the worm" Theory raises it's ugly head again I see.

Love the video but I'm not sure everything should be taken at face value. For example we know Solaire can't be the sandworm, since it's canonical that he defeated Gwyn and linked the fire in his timeline. It's stuff like this that makes a lot of things speculative and not facts. Great presentation tho!

The untended graves is in the past, not the future. It's when Gundyr failed to become an heir of fire and became a sheet to the firelike sword.

i just have to say that the only one i KNOW for a FACT is not true is "DS3 is in the past" as soul of cinder is the final boss of DS3 but Gael is the final boss of the series, the ending of the ringed city is filled with the ash of ALL of man and monster, you and gael are the last ones around, this is why its "at worlds end" and why i am pretty sure we arent getting another DS game, thats it... gael has the power to retake the realm and rebuild it but we get in his way. as another YT comment on another video put it. "Like literally the last fight at the end of time. All other combatants have faded and turned to ash. And you battle in a valley made of their scattered ash. You, a failure, ressurected to try and save the world again when many who succeded refused to do it again. Gael, a slave, cursed and belittled. But hes outlived his masters.... hes collected all the parts of the "dark soul" one of four borne of the first flame.... all... but the bit you hold. He literally holds all the power in the world... except that which you bring with you. There is literally nothing left in the entire world... but you ... and Gael. And no matter the outcome of your battle... the Dark Soul will be made whole again.. the ringed city is called at worlds end because it IS the end, the end of time and it shows the best part is.. and canonically you DON'T rekindle the first flame but let it die, so that would take time.. just enough time.. to take the dark soul and end the timeline

I think velka was the only "real" God in the universe, the other "gods" were still mortal

A lot of those said "theories" are just straight nonsense, with zero or almost zero evidence to back it up, I was hoping to a more grounded iceberg chart. But I liked the video, the quality and presentation are great and I really don't mind the pronunciation mistakes because like you, English is not my native language so I understand you. Keep it up.

A lot of the theories here don’t make a lot of sense and sound like nonsense rather than guesses made from clues provided by the game. Great editing and presentation though, you’ll go far with this content.

it's canonical that Aldrich only dreamt of Priscilla while he was eating Gwyndolin so, presumably, she is either still alive somewhere or dead by other causes unrelated to aldrich also "solaire is the chartus' sandworm" is literally a meme in the community based on the fact that he shoots lightning also also this iceberg is ~70% wrong my man

In regards to Siegward killing himself Yes, it's true, because if you kill Yhorm before Aldrich along with Siegward and run outside the boss door you can hear a *slash* sound and some souls going towards you. You can even look at him while you go out the door and you can see him dying. R.I.P Onion Bro...

You can see the ghosts of several Pontiff Knights walking in Irithyll, in one case two walked side by side; these are possibly Dancer and Vordt since they both travelled to Lothric together. Also I'm pretty sure you can literally hear Ocelotte screaming as Oceiros uses some attacks

There's a bunch of misconceptions and little facts that don't feel very well grounded, but that's just dark souls being dark souls, I guess. I enjoyed the video. Good job, friend

In Ocieros' fight I didn't realize he was holding Oceleot and thought he just had a stomach ache or something

I heard a cool theory, that Tsorig was the Ds2 protagonist. He has 2 items only found in Brume Tower and Eleum Loyce, one of which is the fume knights sword, and his title is the "Knight slayer", a possible nod to DS2's abundance of knight bosses. He's even known for using the warcry emote, one of the default emotes from dark souls 2.

I just got the meaning of the dark sign in the sky. The world itself is starting to hollow, being reborn upon death time and time again, slowly going mad. Gwyn cursed the world to the same fate as he cursed man.

The theory of yorshka being daughter of Gwyndolin can´t be true because in her dialogue, she speaks of "her brother" who guarded Anor Londo until the end, and we know for a fact that the only Deity, son of Gwyn that was guarding Anor Londo, is Gwyndolin therefore she can't be his daughter

The theory about the fog gates has me shook

8:00 if you walk out the yhorm's arena after talking to him, you'll see him kill himself

Some of these are neat thought experiments. But, I do have issues with some of them. For instance we play as Gael in DS2. I don't buy it because Gael is a slave knight and the slave knights were fighting alongside Gwyn against the Dragons and never were relived of their duty. The Ashen One being Oceleotte I also don't buy. An Ashen One is an Undead who attempted to link the Flame and failed, being reduced to ash. Dying when attempting to link the fire. The reason the fire consuming us is so pathetic is because the first flame acts like a phone battery. It starts off strong and healthy. But, after repeated recharges, it gets steadily weaker and requires more investment to keep it charged. Same thing with the flame. It's been artifical extended so many times it is on its last legs. It takes one chock full of powerful souls of past Lords of Cinder and then some to even get a small smolder out of it. Some more: Solaire and the sand worm. Miyazaki has stated that the Canon ending for Solaire was to not go crazy and link the fire in his world. Plus, item descriptions for the yellow bug pellet things talk about the worm having terrorized the sands of Carthus (hence the name Carthus Sandworm) before being driven underground. DS3 is in the past. I learn towards not believing it but I can see why some would. The big thing left that Ruins it for me is Gundyr. Champion Gundyr is in his prime, but showed up late to his run at linking the fire, was bested by an unknown warrior and then was used as the sheath for the coiled sword and made to judge any who wished to enter Firelink shrine. That throws a spanner in the works. It's tough to say. Oh and lastly that Dark Souls and Bloodborne are connected. I'll never be convinced of any connection unless it's made pretty clear in game. From makes it clear in the Dark Souls series that the sequels are indeed sequels with all the carried over armors, weapons, etc. There's nothing like that for Demon's Souls or Bloodborne. As cool as it would be, I don't see any connection. Though most of these points are either just straight up true or believable thought experiments. A fun dive for sure.

I'm from the future, here to tell everyone to rejoice, Elden ring is announced

Wasn't it debunked that the sandworm wasn't solaire but multiple skeletions and bodies?

3:39 'st-ed' like fred or shed. The spelling of 'stead' is kinda funky, you'd think you pronounce it like steeeeed, but is not so.

Kind of a lot of conjecture here, man. Sometimes, it's conjecture about something that actually exists, which isn't necessary. You don't need to guess what a stop sign does, since it says "stop" on it. Siegward does end his own life. Yorick, or whatever the shell guy's name was, is part of a cult to create the dark lord and end the age of fire. It's the thing that keeps him going. After he is done, he doesn't need to live. Side note: Priscilla is Prih-sill-uh. The sc is like in science. Heinous is Hay-Nus (rhymes with anus) Stead is Stedd, like Homestead, or steady. Good editing, man. You are doing great.

You're gonna grow big one day, this was a really well made video!

Great Vid! I personally don't agree with the theory ds3 is in the past especially the untended graves being present. The untended graves are in the past as you fight Gundyr before he was corrupted and shrine handmaiden Emma has unique dialogue if you talk to her first in untended graves then in firelink after.

Loved the video. Your inflection and Intonation were appropriatele leveled, which this Headphone user appreciates.

Yeah, so, I think it should be pointed out that Yoel wasn't murdered by Yuria. Considering that the pilgrims are incredibly old. It's extremely unlikely, if not impossible, for it to happen.

Well done mate! A great video and the way you present is very interesting to listen to.

If you don’t use the bonfire after killing Yhorm with Siegward and just leave the area by the door, you can see Siegward comitting suicide if you look behind

This was a great video. I will say one thing though. Yhorm is thought to be descended from High Lord Wolnir by most people and I though that would make a bit more sense than the giant lord in my opinion.

Great stuff man. Keep at it

The whole video i was like damn this is pretty well made and then a scuffed paint drawing came out of nowhere :D

loved this man keep up the good work. 10/10

i think the reason ocelotte is invisible is because in an older versions he was actually there, but when ocsiris goes into his crazy phase he crushes ocellotte, and there was a fully modeled baby with a squashed head, it also made squealching noises as ocsiris walks around. im assuming they removed it from the game for obvious reasons

Miyazaki: Ok, this dude has this personality and has this goal. Player lore: Makes up a Shakespearean novel out of that.

I believe that when you kill oceiros, at the end of the fight, you can hear a baby cry, which makes you assume that oceiros is alive, just still invisible

15:32 No, Gael is a slave knight, cursed with undeath. This would be particularly useful, a knight that never dies. However, he appears to be the last of his kind.

Unfortunately you're wrong on a lot of the points here. - It is not confirmed Gwynevere is the queen of lothric - Aldrich only confirmed devoured Gwyndolyn. He is known to dream up spells (Gravelord Greatsword, and lifehunt scythe). To note, he does NOT eat Priscilla - We know Velka is a goddess, a goddess of Sin, capable of absolving sin - Carthus sandsworm is made of multiple human bodies and bones. It's not just 1 entity's - bloodborne and Dark souls are not connected universes or worlds - Ocelot is invisible. It's a known ability of a dragonchild to become invisible (as we know from Priscilla). We also know he's there from datamining and other methods of rolling back game files as well as again, Priscilla. - Aldrich was not Smough. Aldrich was a Cleric originally who took up the habit of eating me (flesh and all). Smough was known simply to grind the bones of his victims into his food. Not eating everything - The pus of man (Black goo) is something to do with the curse and cycle of fire becoming stagnant. It stems from humanity going out of control, or something to that effect - Slave Knight Gael is not our character from DS2. He's from an age that specifically used Slave Knights, which is not the age of Dranleic - The Darksign is to do with the curse. It was not created by gwyn, rather it was a consequence or gwyn linking the first flame. It's flame encircling the darkness that is humanity and acts as the symbol of the undead curse - completely wrong about untested Graves. Where there is no light, there is no time. Untended Graves is simply a place devoid of all time, meaning the rest of the world is the present - the whole thing with DS3 is that the cycle of Fire is infinite if we keep linking the flame. The age of dark ending is not cannonical and the age of dark cannot start as undead keep linking the flame (which we know they do due to the Gael boss arena) - the painted world's are isolated worlds that act as mirrors to the "real" world... the world of dark souls. The friendly Corvian states "its the one thing we do right, unlike those fools on the outside", referencing that the inhabitants of the painted worlds allow new worlds and new ages to appear and progress, unlike what the "outside" does, in keeping a stagnant age of fire

Great video man, this deserves wayyy more attention

The dark sign is actually a link to the manga berserk because there’s an eclipse in that story and miazaki uses the berserk manga for a lot of inspiration for dark souls (:

Gael was a Slave Knight in service to Gwyn. They were undead shock troops who fought and died again and again. They all went mad, except Gael. He was there at the start and persisted to the end. The Champion of men, he knew what the Dark Souls would do to him, he also knew what he had to do in order to turn into pigment for a painting that would never die. He brings you to Ariandel when he meets you, and seeing you strength he witnesses one of the most powerful beings. Unkindled Ash that cannot die, only grow in strength, and he’ll need you to help him fulfill his purpose in the Ringed City. He needs a champion as strong as you to lay him to rest after mixing the Dark Soul with his own blood for pigment. And now a painted world that will never rot or decay can be painted, a new home for men. Free of the fire linking curse, a place free of Gwyn’s transgressions against them with the continual pushing back of the Age of Dark. The Age of Men.

I think that untended graves is actually a warp to the past before cemetery of ash. One reason is because gundyr has not fallen to the corruption yet and another reason is that if you talk to the shrine handmaiden in untended graves before you talk to her in fire link than she will seem to remember you so it wouldn’t make sense for someone to know who you are if you only met them in the future and meet them again In the past.

Great video, the Oceiros baby invisibility happened due to it being way to graphic to show a baby being smashed on the floor but it used to be there. I doubt they had time to make any significant changes with the limited time they had besides turning the renderer off so I don't think too much emphasis should be placed on it lore wise. IMO lore wise, the baby is still there it just didn't make the final build that shipped

Funny how Gwendolyn's head dress mimics the appearance of the sunlight maggot, as he also makes an illusory sun appear.

Regarding the comments about Yoel and Yuria, when you kill Yoel in Firelink he will either say "Lady Yuria..." or "Ahh, I thank you kindly... Our kindest Lord..." depending on whether you got all of his dark sigils so he's definitely a follower of Yuria but I do think Yuria still kills him given how willingly he dies after you get the 5 dark sigils

It's much more likely that Yhorm was related to High Lord Wolnir. He was an old conquerer, from the same game, is certainly big enough to be a giant, has a similar way of being defeated ( they're both almost impossible to kill normally, you have to use something that specifically deals a lot of damage to them) and Wolnir has a regular humanoid head/face than the Giants of DS2. Also, Aldrich simply dreamed of prisilla, and gained her fighting abilities and weaponry. It's a much lesser known thing that Aldritch does. He also uses her scythe during his fight, so...

Dude, your voice is perfect for these kind of videos, pretty cool

The Solaire beeing the Sandworm theory is the most far fetched one i've ever seen

Woah you only have 100 subs.. that’s criminal. How the hell do you not have more you deserve wayyyyy more than that

Commenting for algorithm boost. Amazing video keep up the great work if you want.

WoW really nice quality video. Subscribed

11:12 ignoring the fact that yorshka literally calls gwyndolin her brother

That birdcage in the archives is always pretty unsettling when I go up the rafters.

"He-knee-us" Ok

André is the true black smith deity. He's around since ds1. He knows the giant black smith personally. He knows how to work with divine coal. He's not hollowing etc.

This is like a summary of Vaati’s full channel but very enjoyable to watch. Keep it up

wait so your telling me that Gwynevere has been plowed by 2 scaleless, pale, crazy dragon bois? and has had a (partially atleast) invisible child with both of them? does she have a type?

Ocelotte being part dragon is in fact capable of turning invisible, just like other dragon hybrids (like you said, Priscilla) and likely using his ability in a protective manner out of fear, there is as well an actual model of Ocelotte that exists but was left out of the final game and would have made the boss fight much darker, even for Dark Souls as Ocelotte's crushed body after Oceiros slams him into the ground would have been both visible and the crunching and painful moans would have been heard for each time Oceiros walked using that arm

The darksign is not really an item. It's more like a brand. It's the mark of the undead curse and it's within/on each undead/unkindled. Though it's produced by the effects of Gwin and the first flame, I wouldn't really agree that it's a tool to link the flame. It's likely based on the brand that Guts has in Berserk since miyazaki is heavily influenced by the series. I'd say whoever wrote the darksign purpose theory simply doesn't know enough about the base lore.

The dark sign is the medium of the undead curse. Making a circular mark with human pine resin combined with an ember from a bonfire causes a corpse to come back to life as an undead (this is the ritual we see in the intro to Dark Souls 1). The Darksign eclipse symbolizes the stranglehold that the cycle has on the setting, as if the world itself is undead, and the fact that the age of fire, rather than ending peacefully, is going out kicking and screaming.

You can see Siegward die in game if you turn the camera to him, you don't have to teleport out and back That kinda makes it look even more like suicide because he just sits there and then suddenly dies

During the Oceiros fight, there was cut dialogue of a baby crying and, when he slams his hand down onto the ground, you hear a baby shriek before suddenly going _splat._

Video is great, thanks for it.

6:09 if you use a freecam mod, you can actually see that the sandworm is made of multiple people. 7:02 Its still my headcanon that the blood of the dark soul painting is yharnam. 8:36 ocelot is actually invisible due to censorship.

The thing about Ocelotte is that he has an actual model. It's just not used because Ocieros visibly smashes the baby into the ground as he transitions into phase two. I guess Fromsoftware didn't want to be in hot water. As a result, Ocieros now looks like a lunatic holding an imaginary baby. If the baby is invisible, then he was still murdered in a fit of rage by his father.

Love it dude

Wow. Only 41 subscribers. The quality of this video made me think you had thousands. Keep it up man loved every minute of this video

Osiris had a character model of him holding a baby both a regular alive baby and a mashed up dead baby in the game files.

Really good vid but I'm pretty sure it's mentioned that Aldrich has very vivid dreams so real that she can learn spells from them. That's why she has the life hunt scythe but as a spell and why she has a gravelord greatsword at the end of her staff she probably also dreamt up nito

I think the Ocelotte baby was confirmed somewhere, with the only reason he's not visible being that FromSoft didn't want to bump up their ESRB rating from depicting child murder.

Gwen and Gwendolyn Edit: Prisckilla Edit2: 15:23 the dark sign is a ring of fire holding in the dark

You, a novice: Patches is Miyazaki Me, an intellectual: Solaire is Miyazaki

great video man

The Bugg pellet description explains where the worm comes from

After Yhorm you can watch Seigward die if you walk far enough away from him. You do not need to teleport at all. He will stand up, make the noise when you kill something, then fall to the ground and disappear.

about oceiros: there was actually supposed to have a baby there, thats in the game files, but miyazaki decided to reemove it because the game would be banned from certain countries

Finally, an iceberg where i know every entry

Yeh ima need you to cite your sources on Solaire Worm, my dude. I don't see how thats a thing. Maybe the worm being a demon that came from Solaire kinda like that stray demon coming from that Havel knight, but I don't think it's ever even hinted at that those maggots can do that

Aldrich didn’t eat Priscilla. He’s able to learn abilities based on the memories of those he consumed, in this case Gwyndolyn. And Solaris is not the Carthus sand Worm, that’s the dumbest thing to ever come out of Reddit, and that’s saying something.

my theory is that the world the girl is painting is Bloodborne '-')/

Why is "Miyazaki is patches" on the hollow level and not on the level that literally has a "miyazaki is patches" picture?

the ocelette crying baby thing was made invisible because he’s constantly slamming his hands on the ground. it was censored out

The Dark Sign is acquired early in Dark Souls 1. A method of warping to the last bonfire. At the cost of all your current souls. It's also spoken about in the brief lore/exposition during the introduction in Dark Souls 1. Displayed with the Furtive Pygmy. The 1st Dark Soul that would become Manus of the Abyss...

Yuria DID NOT kill Yoel, There are tons of pelegrins in londor and some of them even help you during the Yuria Questline, Yoel literally dies if not helped because he fails and Yuria isn't there

So on a recent alpha build video I forgot who showed there originally was a baby in Oceirosus's hand, but was probably removed as watching him crush a baby in his second phase may be a bit too dark

Really great video! Gets a like from me for sure! Quality and production was really great for a beginning channel like this one. While the production was solid, the lore needs much work.. like MUCH. During certain parts, things were just pure wild speculation and "hope". In the end, I'm sure you'll improve dramatically, more sooner than later! looking forward to the next one.

Ocelotte was originally an actual baby, but it was getting banned due to.. yk.. him smashing it against the ground. So I like the change so it makes him sound more mad than anything

Good video man

cycle theory is already broken tho, since we were given a "supposed" going. Age of ancients (where dragons ruled) -> Age of fire (where gods ruled) -> Age of dark (where men ruled). The course, however, was interrupted by gwyn casting the curse and thus prolonging the age of fire and stopping the age of dark from beginning (which is what the abyss wants to see)

The Solaire being a worm thing was most definitely a meme.

How can aldrich be smough if aldrich began as a member of the cathedral of the deep?
