I've got two other (probably more successful) videos covering the FuturePress guides for Dark Souls and Elden Ring up on my channel right now if you somewhat enjoyed this style of vid. The audio sucks ass in them, but what can ya do. They're below if you're interested.

    Ludleth doesnt get enough respect on his name. He was one of the few npc's who honored his vow and provided an immense help to what is essentially his own destruction. Lothric prince is also an interesting king who rejects the entire premise of re-linking the fire.

    • @AquaSloth
      @AquaSloth  Před 4 měsíci +26

      Honestly, yeah Ludleth is kind of a G for helping the Unkindled, and even just being the only one to show up at Firelink. Princes always felt a little weird to me personally, but I also should add that I’ve never really looked into their lore much

    • @maskingtables
      @maskingtables Před 3 měsíci +11

      ​@AquaSloth Ludleth was the only ahh hole to go against the rebellion against the fire linking.
      Lothric was right. All kings were dooming the entire world because they were afraid of the dark. When Lothric refused to link the fire, the world was gonna finally collapse onto the age of man. But Ludleth did it (because of his need to be seen as important). He is the most recent lord of cinder from the moment we start playing.
      Remember Dark Souls is about finding out your objective is shitty and you should not be following those orders.

    • @gradualpull2171
      @gradualpull2171 Před 3 měsíci +3

      @maskingtables Intersting take, and probably lore accurate.
      The canon ending is likely the age of dark. What I care about is that he honors the vow regardless of his disposition towards some end. He ultimately leaves the choice of such matters to the ashen one who he helps and doesn't dissuade either choice.
      If you catch ludleth sleeping, he has a night terror of linking the flame and how painful it was. I'm not exactly too sure about his reasoning, only that he accepts his fate.

    • @maskingtables
      @maskingtables Před 3 měsíci +5

      @AquaSloth supporting the age of fire shows a deep misunderstanding of the lore. Beyond opinions and interpretations, the entire work of Miyazaki has been the story of how the age of fire is killing the world for not accepting its own end. The stagnation of linking the fire is the reason the world is corrupt. Lothric was trying to save the world.

    33:20 I just wanna point out. The nameless king always had the power to use not lighting but SUNLIGHT.
    All the lightning miracles we see in dark souls 3 aren’t real sunlight magic spells but imitations based off your faith.
    The nameless king is so special because he directly uses sunlight magic. The only other person able to was Gwyn. Making him a very special canon character

    the best tip i can give you for aldrich is to use chaos bed vestiges, you can always respec at rosaria if you dont like it. same goes for dancer, black flame and dark fire orb are insanely good against her as well. blackflame also works really well on nameless king, so there are ways to make the fight easier besides learning how to dodge, the guide just doesnt mention them. i think because the rosaria infinite respec glitch is so easy to execute, any strategy goes.

    I think Anor Londo’s return was a perfect throwback which was abundantly foreshadowed by silverknights, pictures of Gwynevere, statue of Gwyn and the elevator, it can’t be any further from an afterthought. It’s not a 1 to 1 copy and it is a good way of dealing with Gwyndolin since it was a secret boss and by lore it is ambiguous whether or not he was killed by chosen undead, it is now a part of Aldrich. I also like how new players may think Gwyndolin is Aldrich and not the blob, but veterans will catch on the second they see him

    Interesting vid bud :D
    I been playing on NG + 7, and the difficulty is extreme... levels are few nearly every boss can 2 shot u even with dmg resistant rings. Was curious to see how easy a NG would be after finishing that... had a little trouble on Vordt early in playthru as I hadn't levelled health yet but after that smooth sailing till Aldrich who took a few attempts, Pontiff, Dancer and the other 3 lords were all killed on 1st attempt as by this point I knew their moves too well and I been very tight with my levelling, basically just doing vigor and dex mainly. Now off to fight the one I was most interested in fighting... the Nameless king... only boss from my original playthru I never killed. Wasn't till NG + and some sneaky tactics till I got him. Well on my NG playthru the sellsword twin blades pancaked the King of the Storm and he was down in under a min. After the king was too simple. I knew his moves and although I took a couple of hits he wasn't hitting so hard that he could 1 or 2 shot me.. I also knew that the 1 time he got me low I simply had to range him so I could safely heal. Whole fight was over in 3 mins or less dead on attempt #1... couldn't believe it :D Currently working thru the DLC got the Wolf down and expecting Gael, Midir or maybe Friede could give me a problem.
    Kinda embarrasing really throughout this playthru the boss I had to re-attempt the most was Vordt 😀😀
