I saw "Dark Souls 3 Lore Explained", then looked at the length of the video and laughed.
+Mike Walters i seen "dark souls 3 lore explained" then looked at the like bar and was surprised
+Hypnoticake
I was at least expecting half dislikes.
+Mike Walters I just came here to read the comments about an "explanation of the vastly Lore of Dark Souls 3" in just 5 minutes.
+Mike Walters I watched the video and thought, hmm not bad.
...then laughter turns to sobbing as you realize how "flat" the lore in DS3 really is, that 5 more minutes is all you need to cover it all.
Prithee,be careful
don't want to see m' work wasted
huehuehue
+Daniel Frederick squandered*

I'll admit, they did way better than I expected, especially with how short the video is.
I also love the cool detail pointed out by Vaati about how every lord of cinder boss fight (except Lothric) has a second phase where they use fire
+297fihsy older lothric uses a fire boosted sword, his damage nearly rises 1/3 and he is much more aggresive, the fire damage off his attacks also rise
prince lothric wasn't invited to the BBQ, that's why he wanted to put out the fire. He was emo
“We didn’t start the fire!”
He wanted pizza hut
The Unkindled and the Lords of Cinder aren't resurrected at the same time. In the first boss arena, you can clearly see a very large vary old tree growing out of Yorm's empty tomb. The Prince was plan A, The Old Lords were plan B and The Unkindled were plan C.
So that's why my character looks like an empty caprisun.
It must be the old fire keeper of firelink shrine who rang the bell since you find her corpse in the bell tower over firelink, and with a new fire keeper comes a new age of fire (a new cycle)
+Bifrost Yggdrasil no, fire keepers are made from cleric priestess and reincarnation, and they have nothing to do with the coming of a new age other than guiding the undead/unkindled, they also have free will believe it or not, for instance the fire keeper in ds3 can choose to not rekindle the flame
+Dabin Buh she doesn't choose. She follows your plan to let the flames fade.
+DelfinManny yes which means she can choose your will over that of what she was taught, I.e to rekindle flame and guide hollows/unkindled to their fates
I'll just wait for VaatiVidya's stuff
EpicNameBro is pretty good I hear, but I haven't seen his work yet.
+Daniel Frederick so far he is just becoming annoying in his first playthrough
+arkham why
+svegje Its his blind playtrough, he is not doing a complete loretrough yet.
svegje because he is talking more about dark souls 1 than this game...He disables comments too cause he knows he has become boring and annoying...Too bad i loved his old vids but now...
SO it was confirmed a while back "Unkindled" according to the creator, ARE people who kindled the fire but wasn't strong enough to keep it aflame which then you burned out to ash.
1. The reason the bell wakes you, is that it wakes all people who lit the flame. Even tho the bell is to wake the lord of cinders, you too were someone who lite the flame, only difference is that you were too weak and turned to ashe in the process.
2. Item description of the Soul of the lord of Cinder at the final boss says that everyone who lights the flame, their souls all are fused together as a guardian of the final flame. So even tho you couldn't keep the flame lite long, you still end up offering your soul to the guardian/ final boss.
3.Which is why a certain character is trying to give you a dark sigial, he's giving you a soul which is giving you a possibility TO hollow (reason you're immune to hollowing effects, you have no soul). It makes sense they're doing this to the unkindled because there aren't anymore chosen undeads that can continue to keep a sain mind while being hallow. So you reuse someone who had the power to be able to.
4. The world isn't turning into darkness. If the world was turned to darkness, there would only be hollowed humans/creatures.But in the game, hallows are turning into trees, giants are turning into trees, wyverns and demons are turning back into ashe, even the second oldest fire in the game (the one that witch created in DS1) is dying. Everything isn't going to darkness, everything is going into the "Gray" area which was before DS1, the area with no light and dark, no heat and cold, just gray.
5. What about the dragons? Majority of everlasting dragons died in DS1, in DS2 all those dragons are "man made" dragons using the souls of the giants (kinda like golems) and in DS3, you only see wyverns which humans call dragons because they never seen a REAL dragon cos they're all dead. Even the game in DS3 calls it that when fighting a giant dragon boss.
people who don't understand the whole character lore. basically your character tried to link the fire but failed. ie ash unfit (failed) to become cinder
vaatividya is the best channel on youtube for souls lore
agreed
+dots no one can explain the lore.. vaatividya just getting greedy with subscribers...
+qxxq x (error403) what happened? are the videos that are like that? every time i find a youtuber who does dark souls lore i check them out, btw that ENB guy is pretty good just checked his videos based off what this guy up here said, but yea is he a sell-out?
vati just take what other people found then put it in hes video without giving credits there is even a post about him on kotaku
+Sam Thechain i will check him out thanks
There is a lot of mistakes here. The unkindled is also called the chosen ash or the ashen one because in the past you were an undead who tried to link the fire but failed and thus became ashe
No comments with actual insight yet
+Seps productions Because the loss is mess now thanks to souls 3.
Play Blooborne, you’ll get plenty of it.
Badum tsss...
No? No? Anybody? No?
all the comments are just people recommending some other guy
+matthew evans are you surprised lol there are so many youtubers much better than IGN to explain the lore of darksouls lol
+zo5N1P3Zoz 2 Nice pic.
yeah but you could also visit *VaatiVidya's* channel and
+zo5N1P3Zoz 2 Well Dark Souls Lore is really more about interpreting than about knowing and explaining. More people could bring more ideas and more details and that's a good thing in the end.
A whole DS game worth of lore? In 5 minutes. By IGN?
Oh boy, lets see where this goes.
It was pretty much a summary of other theories by other people.
Vaati should sue
Darker He should also sue you for wasting calories typing that
Supplice Vi Who brought up Vaati again?
Darker Who went off for no reason despite having no basis for your claims?
Ding ding, we have a winner.
Vaatividya, Terra Mantis and logor (messed up the last one) have loads of good views
+Sam Thechain uhm false. vaati is the best. through all his soulsborne lore. ds 1 prepare to cry through dark souls 3 where he is currently. analyzing deeply through item descriptions. hnng. good channel. terra mantis is good as well but vaati ha god yes. and sunlight blade.
+donovan cullum ENB literally started most of the lore discussion. He was doing it long before Vaati. Not to mention Vaati is a plagiarist.
+Oisin epicnamebro shits on everyone
+Gil 0 there was some controversy over a video about lucatiel, but most of the stuff was very coincidental considering how limiting the audio is aswell as the gear. He also had a video clearing up the issue but some people still don't believe him
+Oisin Vaati is more interested in making everything except lore videos.
I THINK; You play as ash, implying that you attempted to link the flame, and failed. Perhaps this is why you are in a shallow unmarked grave, maybe Gundyr is the one who put you there.
The first bell to tone is always the bell of awakening, and then the bell of atonement. You awaken to the sound of the first bell, rung by Anri of Astora, the chosen undead, which is why your paths are inevitably linked, even in death. Anri is an idea for the first game based off "what if the player failed, what if they gave up, and a different creature had to step in to fit the bill.
The Ashen one, unfit even to be embers. The one who failed to link the fire before.
But now, with the accursed undead with him, Ash seeketh embers.
The Ashen one is the player from the first game, and Anri is a representation of what it means to lose your drive along the way. To become hollow, to go mad, and to give up.
The phrase "Ash seeketh embers," clearly refers to our character, since the Fire Keeper refers to you as "Ashen One" and you are seeking Cinder. The full quote says, "The Unkindled will rise: Nameless, accursed undead; unfit even to be Cinder. And so it is that ash seeketh embers."
Soul of the Firekeeper you find on the bell tower describes that she was the firekeeper who returned from the abyss, and brought great comfort to those who bear the curse. And when you give the soul to our waifu, she can offer an option to cure dark sigil.
This clearly has something to do with why we don't hollow anymore. Someone had probably found a way to cure undead curse. Although it is unclear what she brought back from the Abyss, and why player and other unkindled are the only undead that don't hollow (Since there's Undead Settlement, meaning some don't get the cure)
+Thaibiohazard123 we don't hollow because we are no longer undead, we're unkindled
SG Gunner Still not sure how that state works, or how it come to
unkindled are those who tried to link the flame but failed to do so.
I expected this to be worse, but it was alright. Although regarding the unkindled, Miyazaki personally explained what they are. They're past undead who were unfit to link the fire and became ash, which is why they're awoken at the bell's toll for a second chance.
in undead settlement why does the undead burn more dead things (corpse)?
To increase the effectiveness of their Estus flasks.
I'll wait to the DLC to formulate my final hypothesis. But I am leaning towards a two world theory. Where in there is two different worlds in the world of Dark Souls. One has Dranglaeic the other Lordran. And the Abyss is like the sea separating both worlds. I believe that in Dark Souls 3 your character is the ancestor of dark souls 2 character who is the ancestor of dark souls 1 character. A direct line where each sequel adds the benefit of each one. After reigniting the fire or letting it die the ancestor of that character lived in a world that has its fire reignited by a brave lord most likely Yhorm the giant. Then during that era is when Dark Souls 2 happens when the Abyss Watchers start their gathering of souls to link the fire again. But the protagonist when to the other world to find a cure for the undead. He finds it in the crowns a symbol of power for the kings of ages past with that he no longer hollows as he wears the crown. That allows his descendants not to be corrupted by the abyss or turned undead which I believe is linked. Returning after starting their version of the fire or letting it go out again to continue his line. Once done we go to the recent lord Aldrich who linked the fire and was laid to rest. However the prince did not wish to link the fire so the Fire keeper sent the Unkindled a descendant immune to the undeads curse to kill all the lords of cinder and collect there remains to restart the fire.
+Charles Nicol PROBLEM! Actually multiple problems.
The timeline goes Age of Ancients>Age of Fire>Fire starts dying>Age of Fire.
Now Gywn went all pew pew pew against the Dragons in the AoA, and then sets himself alight when the Age of Fire started to end, and then some time later, the CHOSEN UNDEAD(Not the bearer of the curse), rolls up and does what Gywn did. You see the problem with your hypothesis? You think that DS3 takes place before DS. Your timeline says that the games go DS3>DS2>DS instead of DS>DS2>DS3.
Also the crown doesn't make you immune to the Abyss. Nothing supports that idea. The only thing that MIGHT be immune to the abyss would be a human(and the only human we saw immune to it was the Chosen Undead who some people believe is the descendant of the Furtive Pygmy who is believed to be Manus himself(while the rest got turned into monsters from humanity running wild) ). Not to mention the Abyss never existed until the toothy Serpent convinced the torture of Manus that drove him insane. Therefor the Abyss isn't some "world" divider. It's humanity/dark gone wild.
what set is that @ 2:55
The prince of Lothric did link the flame hence why you need his cinder back on its throne to get to the kiln of the first flame. The ritual the fire keeper performs takes the previous five lords and uses their ash to send one who is recognized as worthy of linking the flame to the kiln. It's mentioned in the first souls game that the age of man came with darkness and Gwynn fearing both linked the flame to essentially stop time and keep the age of fire going. I'm pretty sure that out of keeping the flame linked, men becomes curse because they are of darkness. It's why the dark sign is a pitch black whole almost the abyss that comes from deep within man. When the time comes for the fire to truly die out the age of man which is darkness will truly take place.
"Dark souls 3 lore explained"...5 minutes. Yeah. This is gonna be great
This is a nice short version of it :)
"hard to understand lore 13/10" ign
Im confused, what part of the lore was explained in this video?
+Joel Wissing They essentially explained how the flame, the thing that keeps evil and the kingdoms in the dark souls series somewhat alive and subsequently told you why your character in DS3 is just a undead being that seeks it's own flame. Because unlike the kindled like the watchers, yhorm, etc.. THEY have their own flames while US (The Player) have NONE and seek our own flames to be kindled. It's suspected our character is a previous lord of cinder because no undead would seek their own flames.
"The curse can't be stopped"
It was stopped at the Lost Crown DLC,you fuse them to get the king's crown that prevents you from going hollow
That stopped your hollowing, but it didn't stop the fire from fading.
Ur still hollow, it just makes it how ur hollowing process cant get worse. Besides it only affects u.
song?
Just wait for ENB to make his lore videos. He shits on all , i mean he was the reason DS1 lore vids became famous and DS1 got so much popularity in the us.
Its cool, just i'd like to see you explain the unsurpation of fire ending
+The Lycanthrope That's the easiest one. "We have no more ideas and we want to sell copies of the game so make it as much like dark souls 1 as we can."
+Apoxiosis Nice try, but it's not like Dark Souls 1. In that one you either linked the fire or you didn't.
It's not explained very well, but we bascially become the Lord of Hollows to bring Londor back to it's former glory. You're basically becoming the king of the Hollows and being Kaath's puppet again (Yuria mentions that she's serving Kaath when you kill her). You're giving the Hollows new meaning and usurping the first flame, which would grant somebody immense power, for Londor.
That's enougg
They... actually did alright with this one. well done ign.
Hmmmm.... So we know from playing the game and reading the item descriptions that in the time since dark souls one thousands of kingdoms have rose and fell. I wonder if the other souls games, demons souls and bloodborne, fit somewhere on the timeline. Is it possible that they could be kingdoms which have happened then died giving the way for a new kingdom to happen?
no theories about soul of cinder ?
interesting, I had a different interpretation to all this but that's the point after all. Good video.
one of the endings sort of has a side ending were instead of letting the fire die out in the fire keeper hands you brutally take the flame from her and because the power of the flame is weak it is the embers and we are ash. and I know this because it says this same line from the starting cutsean of the game "ash seekith embers
I think linking the fire is a bad thing. Dunno much about the other lords of cinder but if Lothric doesn't want it and bad things happened to that kind giant Yhorm, then its probably not a good idea to link that fire anymore.
The reason the fire faded is through the dark souls 2 sotfs alt ending where you decide to let the fire to fade
+Pikakitten “Baka” G i dont think thats true.i think that ds 3 is set between ds 1 and 2 though im not sure
Lore Twist: The world where you fight most mobs isn't connect to the firelink shrine where you deposit the lords of cinder on their thrones. You HAVe to take the warp to those lands, and then you can run through all levels without warping. Interestingly that same 'seamless' world, does in fact have its own firelink shrine; its dark, but its there behind the consumed king. So my question is are we pilfering that worlds' lords of cinder to restart the fire in the 'populated' firelink shrines world?
Loved that Call of Duty Trailer before the actual video.
Where's the end of the video?
"ash seeketh ember" I get it now. unkindled are ash and the Lord's are the embers to reignite the flame
it didnt answer my question on why are those thrones empty? except for that guy who sells us boss weapons?
If you talk to the people in firelink they tell you that the lords of cinder (all the guys with the thrones) were the first choice to re-link the fire but they abandoned their duty, except for little Ludleth, an unkindled would have to gather their ashes instead to achieve the same results.
0:33 “HWHY?”
Why are they using Castlevanja SOTN music?
The Soulsborne games and lore are up there with classic fiction. They are simply timeless art.
this is why Londor and the fire keeper summon endings are the true endings
Wait, i there was nothing inside us (a soul that would let us hollow), and then we did the quest and got dark sigils, would the dark sigils be souls...
You don't hollow in 3 because, while the curse hasn't been lifted its effects(hollowing) were mitigated in ds2 when u put the crown back together and the dark sign was removed. That's how u hollow in three by seeking out a dark sign or 8
+Lupus Gilbert That was the bearer of the curse from DS2 though. Only he was able to prevent it for himself, and even than, wearing the crown at all time is the only way to stop it.
incorrect, the opening cinematic says that the lords of cinders will rise to rekindled the flame and but should they abandon their thrones it says, "then the unkindled will rise." thus we did not wake as the lords did. we awoke much later, how long is not stated but we do know were not their first choice since there are many npc's that state that they too are unkindled thus we are just the most recent in a line of random undead summoned to gather the lords of cinder. based on what we've seen from the existing unkindled it is likely that the first all seem to have some link to the lords of cinder. since each of their storylines end up leading back to one of the bosses but were are raised after there choice are called upon first.
+Polex411 This is probably the more correct interpretation. I think that Iudex/Champion Gundyr exists to test the Unkindled before they reach firelink. The player could be any number of unkindled, the ones before them being unfit to return the lords to their thrones, as they failed to pass gundyr.
true, but either way were are not raised at the same time as the lords of Cinder. that was the point of my comment.
next dark souls game should start with the bells waking up alot of ashens one and having a big brawl ending with the chosen one
wtf is sinder and who is ash seeking ember, and what is the first flame
Tonguefunsome loooool
wait is lofricks voice King joffrey?
Matpat at game theory about the players backstory and it’s awsome
Vaati is shaking his head.
so basically that means if i fin the game by killing the soul of cinder and get the "normal" ending iam becoming something new...probably with a soul? But that means the circle would rise again / continue :>.
In Dark Souls 1 You need to link The flame by killing The only Lord of Cinder:Gwyn (which want somebody Who is up to The task of being the next lord of cinder.)But...you've failed?But still you took his place.Maybe that's why the bell woke you up...(That's all supposition from my playtrough of DS1.I can't tell if I'm right or wrong about that part of the lore.)
((this is considering the fact either we are the charecter from dark souls 2 or someone else who came in contact with the dark souls 2 firekeeper after we sat on the throne)) we wake up because your the person from dark souls 2 who sat on the throne, so obviously in the dlc we cured it thats why we hollow, then the npc sort of reignites the ability to hollow, i think the previous firekeeper from dark souls 2 learned the secret to the crown, cured and it could have been her ringing the bell, because was her fate to ring the bell, as her last duty she died up there,(because as dks3 firekeeper says after they have completed there duty the are lead to true darkness and die) leaving her soul that has the ability to once again heal hollowing for you.
The writers and directors threw a bunch of cool names into a bag, picked them out one by one and tried to make a coherent story line. They don't even know what they created.
hm...
so if the fire dies everything goes hollow? or the humans retain their humanity?
Here me out.
What if the player character is the furtive pygmy?
DS1: "The furtive pygmy, who is easily forgotten"
DS3: "nameless, accursed undead; unfit to even be cinder"
You can't remember the name of someone who's forgotten, and you sure as hell aren't fit to be cinder if you're the furtive pygmy.
As we know, the furtive pygmy split his soul into humanity and didn't take it for themselves... leaving them without a soul..... meaning they wouldn't be able to hollow. Meaning *mind blown*
The bell that rings at the beginning of DS3, woke up all those who've linked the fire, who (I would assume) have had a lord soul at one point. Furtive pygmy did have a lord soul at one point as well, we'll just call it "the dark soul", but again he deiced to share instead of being a greedy jerk.
+Gooz No
Yeah, you're better off watching VaatiVidya's videos.
+Brian Mendoza not that i care about who's going to tell the lore but yeah nice recomendation :D
Great joke, mainstream child
Or Silvermont.
Thumbnail ?
thnk you ign
When you're actually a ginger anyways. #nosoulhavin
Give this man some Likes *REEeeeeeeeee*
Cute
Personally, I thought the lords chosen were those who were the weakest to link the flame rather than the most recent. Aldrich didn't want to be a lord and was basically made one by everyone around him, he wanted the dark to come and weaken gods so that he could devour them. Yhorm the giant was a giant, not a human, and since the fire is fueled by humanity his efforts were wasted and potentially what lead his civilization to ruin (I believe the backlash from using a giant soul was what destroyed his kingdom alongside the profaned flame. The witch of Izaleth shoes that you shouldn't mess with the flame). We know the prince left by choice so his linking was never done, and Ludleth is so mysterious and seemingly weak that he either had alternative motives for the flame that lead to his present state, or he was some kind of monster that the flame couldn't devour fully, similar to Yhorm. The Abyss Watchers to me had the right idea, they gathered a legion to burn, something that sounds like it could make the age of fire last for potentially a millennium or more, however because their power came from normal undead who gained power from the wolfs blood, their sacrifice was in vain as the fire burned their blood rather than them, turning what would have been a millennium into something much shorter. That's just my thought at least.
woah..we can not turn hollow if we have nothing inside to begging with..wow
What is bad living as an undead?
When will there be dark souls 4?
Probably never
Just going by the bosses and npc's in the game, also by the multiple firelinks and thrones. Up to now the fires always been linked (In DS1 walking away doesnt count as cannon iguess). When this happens our guys burn up, him and all the souls that make up his strength (the multiple lords possible npc's that have died as cannon? Basically all slain things), but we're all undead so anyone with a strong soul or will or essence just gets reborn or comes back as something similar to what they were. Thats why items are the same but people and bosses can have different names but look alike. Also this has happened so many times we're not flesh and bone just undead ash.(even as ash we still get up iguess). Just my guess at the lore.
+Darq HS In DS2 it is implied that in DS1 even if you chose to walk away someone else would rise up and continue the cycle in your place
DeadTeddy So my theory based on basically no evidence is still wobbling okay lol
time to wait for the ds Game theory part 2
I think the opening cinematic was misinterpreted here. The lords are awoken by the bell ringing. However, in waking up, all of them see what their homes became after their departure:
For the Farron Legion, they return to Farron and see that it has become a poisonous swamp and that the forces of Londor (Darkwraiths) are already deep into it. The only forces of Farron left are the two Exiles and Hawkwood, left behind to protect the land but having clearly failed. This explains the exile and Hawkwood's deserting. In seeing this, the Legion goes mad, their sanity already affected by their long years of Death.
For Yhorm, he returns to the Capital, having now turned into the Profaned Capital. The humans accepted the Lordship of the Giant because it meant none of their own were going to be sacrificed and humans didn't care much for giants anyway. However, this human mentality punished the people of the Capital as, instead of Yhorm's sacrifice being a way to stop the advance of the profaned flame, it instead fueled it, destroying the Capital and burning everyone in it. Yhorm sees this and with grief and rage, abandons his duty, seeing as he once again failed to protect the ones he was sworn to.
Finally, Aldrich was always prone to dark thoughts and in seeing the other Lords leave their thrones, he does too, as he sees that there is no hope for the Age of Fire.
Therefore, I believe that the waking bell rings TWICE. Once to awaken the Lords who are expected to bring Lothric to his throne. Then much later, a second time to awake the unkindled (the player) as he is now the only one who can link the fire seeing as the Lords have given up their duties.
wow
This game is soooo amazing
This video will have to do until vatii starts posting
Can't turn hollow due to already being empty inside? When did I become a MC??
when you said hollow i keep thinking about haller
I think of Bruce Willis yelling "Holly!"
Oooh, so the main character for DS3 is like the dragons who are not alive nor dead at a time when there was no fire? D:
in dark souls 1 i felt like i was either a puppet for the serpents or conflicted if i was actually the bad guy.
You only scratched the surface. You've got to go deeper than The Abyss.
that would be incorrect about our charater doesn't have a soul, because of one thing "invasion" or come down as dark spirit/ blue/ and phantom, they are all the same sit set as souls following spirit and soul.
Here is my lore theroy:
We awoken from slumber along with the lord of cinder, yet the fire about either burst again or reborn a new anointed king, because of secret ending we get choose be anointed king (it means next king) which no one figure this out why firelink knight is only there, this isn't our character at all, this is from the guy who is from DS1 who gave us the flask and he changed quick as you noticed he link it no matter what even thou our character decied let the fire die, he stood there to keep the fire going. This is why lord of cinder was awaken, why our character awaken because its our job either stop fire, become king, regain our soul from the flame, or either let it finally fade in the world should had ended finally. Lord of cinder does has souls of their own as we remember we got it, but this led confusing matter because of the lore stated there was civilation on the world, which if anyone remeber firelink shrine that is in ruin, yes that is different world, that world is oppiste from the wolrd our character were in, what happen changes that still has left linger of what is left civilation until it turn to hallow. Know this innocent aren't truely innocent, firelink shrine maiden maybe different, she wanted end the fire, and we could be the puppet being played, of course there is other ending we crush her and take the flame from her, yet we don't know she is innocent or not. Maybe she saw herself weak and couldn't end madness so she call on the one who can end it all. Come think about it DS1 and 3 aren't different at all even thou chose are different. Why does firekeeper have to do with this if you ask me, its obvious their job is "Attend to the fire and keep the fire going" that was their job in DS1, but she let the fire die, I don't know we are dealing with smart woman or either truely peace keeper. As for now, I only got fragment what is story could be about, either end the fire again that one last soul of the unknown or either to know who is exactly is that flame soul? Remember 4th flame isn't natural, but was more then one fragment of it as in chaos fire and other chaos. That wasn't only one which firelink shrine had that fire up long time, so it was 5th flame count. As we know the fire is really pose to be gone. yet still strive to live on, great isoulation, is great insanity to become. Check and remember, about maiden firelink shrine, this take resondible of DS1 as we go towards DS3, this is where the wants and DS2 effect of yern for of many undeads. As we know we yern for good old days or either wish for to end finally. This topic a lot idea, what did the undead yern for to their goals.
Biggest problem now the DLC will discuss about it will there be civial ppl finally we able meet or not?
Dark souls series is a dynamic game where the real story is an illusion which changes with time.creation was meant to be beautiful but the maker eventually after contemplation became mad over ones own existence...hope the fire enlightens the path of one's purpose of existence
make another video about the
That doesn't sound like Krupa...
darksouls 3 Prepare to try! please that series was awesome
+L3VEL UP Its been confirmed. Dunno when though
+someguy403 The Hype!!!
Why does Prince Lothric sound like Prince Zuko? Just me?
But, did you finished the game?
Why does lothric sound like joffrey
What about patches
Everyone badmouthing this lore video, when really it is just a summary, maybe for people who like the game but aren't super interested in the more detailed stories. I like the detailed stories that Vaatividya does, but I also enjoyed this. I have a question though. Does anyone know what gauntlets the player character is wearing during the fire linking cutscene?
I think whats going on is, the time wants to bring the lords of cinders back. Like, that is that. Because we also rise along with the lords. That maybe one hint. What if we are destined to be a lord of cinder and it was inevitable? And maybe the lords of cinder were prepared for us? IDK. Thats just what I've learned so far. Let me know what you guys think.
+Shadowxgamer 13 In the first two games "chosen undead" were just lies with every single undead going to the firekeep being told they are the only chosen one. The bell also awakens those fit to be lords but it also awakens the player, which after exploring seems like we are the lord of darkness. The series has a underlying plot where cursed/unkindled are tricked into sacrificing themselves to light the fire.
So you can assume that unkindled do not fade like the flame and can be used forever to keep the flame alight. Given the way "worlds" seem to work, no matter if you don't link the flame, another "chosen" will. This is probably the curse Lothric saw, an endless cycle of suffering and denial of rest (death).
How do you link the fire if you don't have a soul? Doesn't the chosen undead link his soul to the fire?

+Avinash Dash yeah they do that why you only get the usurpation of fire ending if you're following the hollow quest line as hollows have souls.
+evans Show kaath the abyss serpant is the master of yuria, if you kill her she exclaims she failed him, the ursurption of fire ending is the same as putting out the flame ending only it doesn't happen immediately
I think everyone is ignoring that IGN said what they THINK is currently going on in Dark Souls 3
+Oshawattlover345 They made the title saying the lore explained, implying they have facts and the lore will be explained, not theorized
+PurpleMan Face just about every ounce of story in dark souks is theorized
