I always saw vulgrims soul obsession as more of a drug addiction than anything

The sword just sticks to his back because war wants it too...... end of story GENIUS!!!!!

War - The Badass Red Riding Hood.

I think there's an error here, it was explicitly mentioned that all the events of Darksiders 2 were unsanctioned by the Charred Council and thus Death couldn't take the Harvester, therefore he went to Vulgrim to get a new pair of scythes as told in the Graphic novels

Considering that the Rider of the Black Horse is a female named _Fury_ ... Why didn't I think she'd have a weapon to complete the _"Hell hath no Fury"_ motif

Vulgrim is shady but he gives us good stuff

I feel like Vulgrim is slowly building up massive amounts of power, his knowledge grows all the time and the apocalypse has brought him alot of opportunity to gain things that could have been hard to get beforehand, in the first game he is fed more than 10,000 souls by war and in the second game he is given the entire book of the dead, if souls power so much in the games and if Vulgrim is a master of the dark arts, all this knowledge and energy would make him very strong, what he's going to do with all this power I don't know but I'm wondering if we'll see him make a double cross or even a save for the Horsemen near the end of the story (assuming all the horsemen will get their own game and maybe a 5th game with all 4 of them.

The unstoppable rage mode War goes into while in battle I believe is inferred to be the weapon's doing (the blade is said to have a will of it's own and is said to be "angry" and "thirst for destruction" as well as being "cursed"). In the Darksiders Wrath of War pre-order comic the Charred Council ponder whether the blade will consume War when returning the blade to him after his tantrum that cost him his left arm at the hands of his brother Death to save Fury from War's rampage *"Chaoseater. The cursed blade. Eater of Souls. Can it be mastered... or will it destroy him?"*. I am pretty sure Chaoseater was made by Death or one of the other Nephilim smiths like Affliction and Harvester were... but to be fair I thought this of Scorn too since it was also a shape shifting weapon like Harvester but now they say in Darksiders 3 that it was made by the Mad Smith, which I find a bit out of left field (though he probably made the Abyssal Armor for each Horsemen too so I guess it kinda fits).

Can you do a lore on the horse men’s true form Edit: thanks for all the likes

I have a theory that Vulgrim is just acumulating energy by devouringthe souls, as we all know in the Darksiders universe, Soul is energy, and someday he can become a threatening foe, perhaps his goal is to become the Dark King himself who kows XD

Am I the only one the pictures Vugrim with a toilet above the well of souls?

Abyssal armors

This game could morph into a regular comic series ... Would be nice and violent like old school image stuff

I wish there was more lore on some of these characters, the human in Pt.2s DLC is a good example. Gorewood, Wicked K, the Dragon in the ice dlc and every other boss are enough to to make it interesting like the Souls Series.

I thought Deaths weapon was the Chaos Fang found in Darksiders 2.

Thanks again for beautiful video explanation! Looking forward to see some information about Ostegoth he's also one of the interesting merchants who appears in DS II. Cheers!

Man, Vulgrim is AWESOME! If I didn't like Death as much as I did, Vulgrim would be my absolute favorite character in the series.

Angels: Light Demons: Dark Humans: have the capacity for both. Maybe this is what makes them so critical to the, "balance"

I love this series thanks for sharing this amazing video. I want more

Fun fact: Vulgrim is voiced by Phil Lamarr.

I SEE ME I AM BEYOND HAPPY Though for reals do we know ANYTHING on the watchers atleast I'm pretty certain that's their name. The weird black floaty guy from DS1 and the new female one from DS3

I had thought that the harvester wasnt seen in DS2 because it takes the councils approval for him to wield, and his mission wasnt council sanctioned. Along with war possessing it for his game (i know it was a "bonus" but i think theyre just running with it" Hence his dual kamas. It is good to know that he can morph it though, for when War gives it back to him in the future story of the games

Holy crap last time I was here you had 600 about subs congratulations!!

Thank you for the video... Please do video about Archon, Rod of Araphel and Outlight. I think it's all related. Thanks.

Btw something i thought was that maybe their weapons were grand abominations but like weak ones. After all war's sword is said to be thirsty for destruction if I remember correct. Both the harvester and the chaoseater also obey their masters so it could be arguied its simple the sentient weapon obeying them. It would also explain why the harvester can turn into so many weapons.

Put out an update on the weapons please.

I think it would be really cool if you guys made theory videos! Like predictions, or even just speculation videos of what things are and how things could turn out.

It is confirmed in the Abomination Vault that the only way anything can be truly destroyed, is by casting it into Oblivion, which also the heaviest sentence the Council can give, destroying someone absolutely. So whatever The Lord of Hollows does or what happens to souls devoured by demons and the like, they aren't destroyed and most likely will return to the Well of the Souls eventually. But I do wonder if the souls that Vulgrim devours, that are collected through out the game, are really the "complete souls of the death" or just "soul pieces left behind", this seeing how even lantern poles releases souls when destroyed. The soul piece idea would also explain why souls of the dead has such a long process to pass through the city of the Dead. As it would mean the souls has to be cleansed of memory and the damage repaired.

Miss yall

for those who may not know vulgrim is a resident of the void which connects to all of creation through the serpent holes in the same way as the tree of life just on a different plain of existence

Weapon switch finishers for each horsemen on a off horse

Real talk, Vulgrim is one of my favorite NPCs in gaming history.

Death didn't use harvester in ds2 for some reason. Maybe when he reaches earth on war breaking the last seal, he will take it from war, currently known to have possession of the harvester.

The entirety of Strifes game will ve trying to re-obtain his guns.

Ulthane made War's weapon

Vulgirm sounds like a drug addict " do what ya gotta do. " to get your fix

Switching strifes bow from the revelation for two handguns is an interesting thing. If we get ds 4 or a solo game for strife, i would like to see him with a bow. If we get a vulgrim boss fight against him, he better be a difficult one. He must be close to a god with all the souls he ate.

vulgrims goin be the final boss

I don't think that the secondary weapon in darksiders2 is the harvester... Mainly because when you use the secondary weapon you can still clearly see the the scythes at his waist, but I do really like that he can change the harvesters form.

Can you guys do a video on War's and Death's other weapons that were sealed away in those levitating statue things wrapped around in chains?

Actually contrary to popular belief, Death's dual shapeshifting scythes are not the Harvester. We know this because Death can summon that same massive scythe separately from the smaller ones. The smaller ones are just weapons he buys from marchents.

Awesome videos, i love this series. My thoughts on the weapons the 4 use is this. The 4 represent different points of turmoil whether it be from within our an outward force coming upon them and I find it interesting as to how Vigil is releasing them in the order they are (or maybe I'm delving too deeply) as War is first, and this unleashes Armageddon or the Great War. Death comes next to save the deaths of humanity by giving his life. Fury, my thoughts on this is episode has more to do with the horsemen gaining more knowledge on the REAL puppetmasters behind the conspiracy that saw the leader of the hellguard fall to ruin and the imprisonment of the most honorable of the 4 and thus enduring the fury of the 4. Then Strife, will have the 4 wage their own war upon the one we are waiting to see step out from behind the curtain and strife from the 4 will be wrought unto them. Now coming back to the weapons, each weapon saps the essence of the horseman's entity and fuels what they represent

While the novel does establish that the Harvester can shapeshift at Death's will and I too thought that at least his scythes in the game are variations of it, the Darksiders II comic "Deaths Door" makes it much more clear that Death doesn't use the Harvester for some undisclosed reason except for when he is in his Reaper Form. To clarify: In the comic, he visits a particular demon meddler not unrelated to this video and asks for a pair of scythes he can use on a mission not sanctioned by the Council. For the price of a Hydra's tongue he gets them. That and the fact that Death acquires all of his weapons by picking them up from enemies, bosses and/or chests, that there are legendary and possesed ones among them and that they all vary hugely in power leads me to think that none of them are the Harvester and are instead simply weapons he picks up and uses. *Edit:* Shit, you even mention that point... that's weird... *Edit 2:* Since you referenced the Abomination Vault so often in the early parts of this video, I found it a bit disappointing that you didn't mention the supernatural, living, self-reloading revolver from that story when you talked about Strife's weaponry. It's been a while since I last read the novel but as I remember its endless supply of ammunition came from unnatural, sharp teeth constantly being pulled from another dimension. I'm not sure whether or not this is one of the two weapons of choice Strife uses but at least there are parallels and similarities. *Edit 3:* Now that Darksiders III is out and we know all the different forms Fury's weapon assumes, how the Hollows play into it etc. and with some of the very insightful comments (hopefully including mine) on this video, would you consider doing a version 2.0 of this video with the added information? *Edit 4:* I don't know how much can be said about them but it feels weird that you didn't mention the Serpent Holes, Vulgrim's preferred method of travel. I think they're extremely interesting and it's very intriguing how Samael is also able to use them but his look samey but very different - less structured with lots of useless floor and most notably a completely different tint of the skybox, implying that the abilities of the user define how that dimension takes shape.

Thank you so much

It would be funny if Vulgrim is a boss in Darksiders 4 because of all the souls and power he gains from the crazy amount of death the horsemen have dealt just to give all the souls to him

Can you do a lore video for Wars Abyssal armor

Would you consider doing a lore video on Ostegoth?

You left out Vulgrim is a collector as well IE the pages of the book of the dead. and the Artifacts of the fallen legions.

War also owns the Armageddon blade

Gotta admire Vulgrim

But Redemption's cylinder has eight chambers, so it just magically gets two extra ones? Easier to remember having 10 shots than 8? lol

Actually death did not use his own original scythes in darksiders two he used the tongue to buy new scythes since he was not on a Council sanctioned Mission he could wield his personal scythes since it is very forbidden for him to use them unless on a council mission

04:51 based weaponry

Mark hamil's character in the first dark souls? Cant remember his name the shade attached to war.

Guys it's time for you guys to talk about darksiders 3!

did you make a video about the abyssal armor if you did one can you write the link in my comment and thanks

Here's a thought on Valgruum. With how gluttonous he is could he be one of the seven deadly sins.

Fresh Merchandise...

Free roaming time travel fury leading war on the left strife on the right death guarding the teams back

Wow my comment was in this video! XD I am just surprised

Whos made the weapons

Vulgrim gives War ths Soul Harvester in Darksiders 1

you are my sword and u ll be stand at my back! end of story *dont forget who holds the leassh* what

Harvester is nearly as durable as death

awesome

it is Shira brie/ lumayia light whip instead

Vulgrim ftw

Abyssal armour

Spoiler ahead for those who haven't play DS 3 ... I think there's a strong indication that Strife gave his weapon to the Makers after Humans left Haven with Fury that can assist his brothers (notably War) somehow. Though the timeline maybe a bit confusing for now, it is a theory we can't set aside imo

7:31 unlimited magazine or ammo. it's not a clip

'I might be late. but just discovered yalls vids. and i love them. however if im being honest every time you use the word "clip" when talking about the fire arms drives me up the wall.

Vulgrum... Tin foil hat theory. But maybe he is the Creator. By that I mean the Creator takes the form of vulgrum to travel freely amoung the demons and Earth. Also being able to interact with the horsemen

AbYsSaL aRmOr pLeAsE

Is Strife... Dead? I feel like that could be a definitive possibility.

isn't fury taller than strife?

Mag not clip

So its not judt a whimp wow... spoilers

I am pretty sure Strife is dead....

It's mag,not CLIP,Mag

Play ds3 and you'll know why the makers have strifes pistols!
