Don't feel bad for the dragon at the beginning, he's a bastard, he killed me like 50 times.
And his little dinosaur buddies too !
Yeah I remember watching him beat you 50 times. I will forever hold a grudge against him for that. You deserved better
I actually beated him on my first time
On my second playthrough. On my first it Took me 24 Tries
Me too😭😭
Killed him first try but it took 2h to cut his tail
I will never get tired of that scene where Gough nailed Kalameet out of the sky with only his ears since he was blind due to the resin in his helmet
I love that entire scene honestly. Especially the detail that shows him feeling around for his bow
I thought it was because they tricked him into thinking he was blind from the helmet.
Ha ha! Yes! A truer shot was never loosed! That bat will be grounded for a good spell!
@@anthonychessar7179jokes on them. He still whoop them all
@@anthonychessar7179 the description of the helm did say that they stuffed tree resin into the eye holes, he either thought he was blind or actually lost his sights because of the resin who knows
During that fight against Sif, he starts whimpering and limping when he’s low health and that just makes it hurt more😭
We would not be able to take that 😢
even years later after playing dark souls, that scene with sif at the end still gets me every time
Yeah, its just incredible. I`ve seen that scene plenty of times through the years, but even now when I think that I know better, I still found myself shedding a tear for that part.
We all do. Time may heal all wounds, but boy do the scars remain. The moment there's that shift of recognition in Sif's eyes... I swear, it makes my heart ache
Why they have to make Sif limp like that 😭 so mean lol
@@kingtonsiljockey528 Because they knew we would feel terrible.
Sif clearly recognizing you before realizing you will have to fight to the death is such a moment to look back on because you don't realize it when you fight him at first.
That's only if you play the dlc first otherwise it's a different scene.
speak for yourself dude, everyone i talked to gets what was going on in that scene
You don’t *get* that scene if you fight him first. You have to save Sif to get it
Artorias - and best doggo Sif, for that matter - will always hold a special place in my heart. Such a heroically tragic story, and absolutely heartrending depending on when you interact with... certain parts... This story is one of the biggest reasons I love the Dark Souls lore so much.
And, since it was mentioned near the end, the title "Prepare to Cry" is a clever play on words! The original tagline of Dark Souls' marketing was "Prepare to Die." And since From Software loves telling us tragic stories - usually through characters you directly interact with and can feel attachment to - you can see how the title was an easy pick!
If you fight Sif before you go to Oolacile and defeat Manus, you'll probably feel somewhat guilty.
If you fight Sif after you defeat Manus, you will feel like a monster.
😢😭
All Sif wanted to do was stop you from being corrupted by the darkness like his master.
Knight Artorias was one of my favorite bosses cause when I first fought him he was just another hurdle in my way of beating the game but my friend sent me his lore video and when I fought him in NG+ the fight felt completely different I felt so sad for him and Sif cause of how tragic their story was. After that I took time to learn about the story of each boss I fought and that’s when I began to truly appreciate how good the soulsborne games are.
That’s a great way to experience the game 🙂
The story of Sif and Artorias will never leave me with dry eyes, love those two
glad that you are going to look at both the original and remastered. pls more
also the name "prepare to cry" is a play on the name of the dark souls 1 edition, which included the Artorias of the Abyss DLC and was called "Prepare to Die Edition".
The thing about Artorias and all of this story, is that we didn't know it until a year later when the DLC arrived. In the base game, we saw multiple references to him, his legend and everyone saying how much of a hero he was, so his legend wasn't just a tale in game, but also to us, players, until the DLC arrived and we saw everything that happened and realized: all those tales are about us, WE are the legendary knight who stopped the abbys in Oolacile. It was such an amazing way of telling a story, that only improved upon the released of Dark Souls 3 and all the references and missing story links being added.
Fighting Sif is probably the hardest part of the game. Not for the challenge but for the heartache. As Vaati said, for the sake of completing your goal you need the ring of abysswalking; and though Sif is your friend, she is duty bound to prevent anyone from taking it. One of you will have to die. I highly recommend for the next Prepare to Cry do The Children of Chaos. It's actually even more heart-wrenching then Artorias and Sif.
This one got to us and hit hard 😢
The title is some smart wordplay based off of the rerelease of Dark Souls with the dlc included; The Prepare to Die edition.
A nice detail. When you play Dark Souls 1 without playing the DLC. The fight with Sif is just a fight with a giant wolf, you don't know who he is, but you need Artorias's ring to move forward. In the intro before the fight starts, he sees you, grabs the sword and the fight starts, nothing special, so you just kill him and take the ring. But when you play the DLC before that fight, you help rescue Sif in the past and then you go to Artorias' grave in the present, the intro changes, instead of attacking you, he recognizes you, his face changes and expresses a lot of sadness, Because as VaatiVidya said in his video, he knows what you came looking for and he can't give it to you willingly, therefore one of the two will have to die in that fight. I still remember the anguish of having to fight him at that moment, because you have to kill him but you don't want to.
If you equip the full set of Artorias armor, your scent is masked and Sif believes you to be his Master
Artorias and Sif are such iconic characters in the Dark Souls franchise, partly because of how their story can touch even people who have never played the games
And if you HAVE played? Oof. I still get emotional whenever I see the scene of meeting Sif post-Oolacile
You hear about Artorias a lot in the game, like a key named after him, finding his special ring, or tales of his accomplishments, so he's a bit of a legend when you reach him. The 'Prepare to Cry' title is (probably) based off the first game's release called 'Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition'. I am always prepared and I always still cry. Right, time to binge watch the rest of Prepare to Cry again! Looking forward to watching them again here too! =)
"There are no happy endings in Lordran" pretty much sums it up.
Prepare to Cry stems from the motto of Dark Souls, which is: "Prepare to Die". Because that is what you do in Dark souls. You die and die over and over, slowly crawling and clawing your way to the end and emerging victorious. If you fail to win and give up on the game before beating it, you are considered to have gone "hollow".
WAIT so if you give up on the game canonically you've gone hollow?
@@dimlylit3086 Yes, it's a very philosophical defeat. You literally cannot lose in Dark Souls. The only way to actually lose is if you, the player, gives up.
You will have to intentionally perform a very specific set of actions and glitches to hardlock yourself in the games.
The whole point of going hollow ingame is when the undead loses their willpower or purpose to continue existing, much like when a player ragequits and never picks up the game again.
@@nesnahprotsdam That is actually such a cool concept omg
Vaati doesn't explain it much in this video as he probably expects most people who watch this to have played the game. But part of the reason Sif (Best wolf in any game ever) is trying to stop you is because he's defending a ring that allows one to traverse the abyss, so Sif trying to stop you from ending up like Artorias. On a side note, that cutscene where Sif recognizes you and sniffs you only happens if you do the DLC and make a somewhat hidden detour to rescue Sif before you start that fight. Also, the part about Artorias leaving his shield to protect Sif is true, the part that is a "lie" is that he was the one temporarily halted the abyss. Though he tried his best sadly he ended up getting corrupted.
The prepare to cry is a play on the Dark Souls title when it came to PC called Dark Souls: Prepare to Die.
Yea fighting Sif is VERY sad as if you fight him before going back in time, he won't recognize you, but if you did then you get that scene of him recognizing you.
And he doesn't act to protect Artorias but really to protect anyone from being infected/corrupted by the abyss, which is especially sad since Sif saw what happened to Artorias.
Part of me is happy they didn't show the later parts of the fight as unlike most boss fights in Dark Souls where the boss has a harder second phase Sif actually grows more injured and desperate but keeps fighting which makes it all the more heartbreaking knowing the backstory.
Oh my God, now i remember him limping and getting slower...
@@vkarvanzer4243 Yea it is utterly heartbreaking replaying it knowing the story behind it and realizing Sif is just the best of boys
Watched this prepare to cry a couple times and I literally always cry. Sif is the best boy
Omg i suggested this so many times i can't even count thank you guys ! I love your genuine reactions.
The devs literally went out of their way to create a brand new scene for the fight of Sif when the fox first came out, unknown to anyone playing it at first until they found the smaller Sif in the abyss. Then doing the game all over again ignoring the boss fight until finishing the dlc just to see if it changed the intro of the fight.
Sif forcing himself to fight the very person who helped save his life l, at the grave of his best friend, out of duty…always brings tears to my eyes
Its also very tragic that in DS3 the abyss watchers that were inspired by Artorias got corrupted by the abyss themselves and became mindless undead so they only live to destroy the abyss but they carry the abyss themselves so they are locked in endless battle against themselves. unable to die, unable to live
One of the best prepare to cry, the old version that uses Artorias cut dialogue nearly brings me to tears. Similar to the Elden Ring video he did that includes Kale's cut dialogue.
Prepare to Cry is a play on the Dark Souls 1 marketing campaign/slogan Prepare to Die.
The original video he made back then was one of the first I've ever watched and watching this again makes me see how far vaati has became such a great story Teller really bueatiful
Also anything containing animals or dogs makes me cry right away 😂😂
That "perhaps in death, he can reunite with his friend artorias" breaks me every time I watch it
this is why i love dark souls the lore is just so rich. like ya u have to do a lil digging but its the moment when the story comes together and u get these dark yet 'light in the dark' moments full flushed out. thats just so good
His videos are always amazing
Love you guys ❤
ah souls lore has so much to offer yet its hiden so well XD.
i love how you can side with karth and become the lord of the dark though.
In souls, there is an age of light and an age of dark, both last for eons, but they change, when the fire fades, dark rises, and embers will rekindle the flame.
However dark is not death, it is silence. its not madness, it is darkness. it isnt hot, it is cold, its notm war, it is peace. Not madness but serenity.
For mankind, in souls lore, belongs to the dark, and the dark is the true power of man, the gods told them that they must fear the dark and fight their innter nature, yet that was just because the gods feared man, as man is the only thing capable of killing even a god.
Also prepare to cry is referencing dark souls 1 edition "prepare to die" - there is an entire prepare to cry series on souls lore. id love you react to more ^^
The reason why it was called prepare to cry, is becaue the dlc for dark souls 1, where we fight artorias, was call prepare to die.
Definitely not definte please keep reacting to these videos there amazing so are you
Artorias and the Daughters of Chaos are among my favourite stories in video games. I would highly recommend to also watch Vaatis video about the Daughters of Chaos at some point in the future !
"Prepare to Cry" is a play on words from the special "Prepare to Die" Edition of Dark Souls 1.
For years and even now when doing Dark Souls 1 runs I treat the Sif fight like a speedrun.
I try to finish the fight as fast as possible since I really hate seeing Sif start limping on 3 legs as he is closer to death.
Loved seeing this one, easily one of, if not the best Dark Souls related video online. Would really like to see your thoughts on Aatrox's quotes at some point too.
I'd absolutely love to watch you guys do a Dark Souls 1 playthrough
there is 2 cut scenes for fighting to dog, the first, he is aggressive, grabs the sword and attacks you. The second is the one you saw, he come up to you aggressively before smelling you and even thousands of years later he recognizes you.
It's amazing how I still cry after watching this many times before
Love that you're checking out this series, I hope you do check out The Parry God at some point as well, he has some really amazing vids.
One of my favourite videos of his.
I didnt see anyone say it and I think its nice to know, the sad cutscene at the grave with Sif where he sniffs you and howls only happens if you freed him in Olacille before, if you get to the Sif fight before freeing him he just attacks you because you havent meet yet/ the timeline where he knows you didnt happen.
not sure if anyone has commented this, but I'm sure the series name is inspired by dark souls slogan "prepare to die" and character stories kinda don't have "happy" endings but still very good stories, these videos really help to appreciate the stories that are told in the game but not very much in a traditional way, they build over time through dialogue and item descriptions, evebn though dark souls is kinda over ill always have hopes for more of it. it really changed the way i looked at games and how stories can be told in them
Love your videos keep up the good work, also recommend watching prepare to cry Yhorm the giant
The line, "Prepare to Cry", is a reference to the original Dark Souls, whose tagline was "Prepare to Die".
And yes, Sif's recognition and mournful howl makes me feel very, very sad.
And yet, it's still special...
"Prepare to Cry" is a reference to the Dark Souls special edition, which was subtitled, "Prepare to Die." It is also a warning.
Prepare to cry is a reference to the Prepare to die edition of dsrksouls1, they are also sad stories nothing in darksouls has a happy ending most of the time someone ends up dead
Artorias is my all time favorite from story armor weapons skill and he has a doggo
Fun fact about Artorias: The devs actually had plans for him to have voice lines. (If I remember correctly, that is the voice of Matt Mercer, too.) A lot more than the line about his failures were planned, including him begging you to kill him, asking you to find and protect Sif, and a few other lines. They cut it from the game because it was so hard to focus on the fight when you hear how much pain and emotional turmoil he's going through. (There used to be a mod that would put those lines back in the game, but I think it's gone defunct now.)
He really is the ultimate 'fallen hero' trope in modern gaming. (Yes, I put him above Arthas, the Lich King from Warcraft.) The fact he is so uniquely strong of a character in the Dark Souls lore is made honestly more heartbreaking when you realize Raime, the Fume Knight from Dark Souls 2, was his soul resurrected (and even had his sword), and the Abyss Watchers are the Billy Badasses of the world of Dark Souls 3, inspired by Artorias' desire to fight to the bitter end... God, it just hits you right in the feels to know someone can be so driven by honor and duty that they'd lay themselves on the line and die to protect others.
The Great Wolf Sif fight in Dark Souls is amazingly done. When I first played that game I didn't know any of this, but I still felt profound sadness during that boss fight. The music, the arena, how Sif acts. Usually when I kill a boss I get a sense of accomplishment, but killing Sif just made me feel sad. They were able to make me understand that killing him was tragic without directly telling me anything.
God, the frenzied flame prepare to cry made me bawl my eyes out. It's the most tragic of all the prepare to cries, if you end up getting the lord of frenzied flame ending without knowing about rhanni's better ending. Which uh. I didn't.
if you fight Siff after going to the past, he recognizes you has the human who fought with him, that's why he melows when he catches your scent and he knows he has to stop a very dear good friend in the name of duty: 2 friends bound by service and a past fight who now must duel to the death
haven#t seen it yet, immediate like though. Amazing content choice + I know you'll make it even more entertaining.
"Prepare to Cry" is both a reference and a legitimate warning. It refers to the tagline/slogan of the Dark Souls series, which is "Prepare to Die"
I’m just replaying this game rn going for 100%
"Prepare to Cry" is a reference to the first Dark Souls's full name "Dark Souls: Prepare to Die"
It is here!
prepare to cry is taken from the ultimate edition of the game, which was called Dark Souls: prepare to die. base game + DLC
18:20 Prepare to die edition is the definitive addition of the first darksouls game so yes it a play on words.
19:12 Oh it's even worse. He needs to defend the grave not just to protect his master's legacy, but because the sign of the pact Artorias made in order to safely traverse the abyss and fight the wraiths is stashed at the grave and Sif does not want you, his savior, to walk the same path and risk getting consumed as well.
I feel like these guys would absolutely enjoy “The Paleblood Hunt”. That audiobook is one of the most detailed and expansive compendiums of Bloodborne ever. The story of Bloodborne is one of my favorites.
The "prepare to cry" is a reference to the subtitle of the first games pc rerelease the "prepare to die editon"
The image in the thumbnail with the warrior in armor and the stance. I'd like to ask where this is from, as in who is that warrior and what is that stance. Is it from a battle style or its not anything of note
I think most dog owners might have a hard time facing Sif. As for me it hit hard old memories of my 1st dog at the age of 5, mom named her Dusky she was with me for 15 years. The quest line was heavy for me but when Sif remembered us I broke down.
Prepare to Cry is actually a reference too, the original version of Dark Souls was titled "Prepare to Die" edition, so Vaati spun that in a fashion where it fits better for lore videos
Dark Soul lore is so dense and compact that I'm surprised people who don't play Dark Soul even understand it just by watching lore videos.
I'd recommend also check out same creator but video about Yhorm the Lonely Ruler and Siegmeyer the Adventurer which are far much more easy to understand their stories. The video about Artorias went a long about way to try and explain the problem in the world of Dark Soul and why Artorias was necessary. But the fore mentioned two well not so much I suppose.
Also the "Prepared to Cry" is a play on the "Prepare to die", the original logo of Dark Soul 1 when they brought the game out to the PC instead of just Playstation.
Man, I love the epicness of this game.
“Prepare to Cry” is actually a reference to the Dark Souls special edition which was called “Prepare to Die” when it released lol
the Siegmeyer Prepare to Cry is also a good watch :D
Vaatividya's "Lord of Frenzied Flame" is honestly his best video ever. It's so, so good.
It is a play on words the original dark souls is often called "prepare to die edition"
Atorius is one of my favourite characters in fromsoftwear games along side melana in elden ring
"Prepare to Cry" is referencing the title of the game: "Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition".
*Oh Sif.*
*You were truly the Goodest Boy...*
YEAHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH Thank you, have a nice day.
heartbreaking detail for me, if you listen carefully, you can here Sif whine after he sniffs. He not only knows who you are, but there much doesn't want to do this. But of course, both of you, have a duty to uphold.
I have never played this game but binge watch so much Fromsoft lore videos that I think I might learn more from watching these then playing the games themselves (also, I am fearful of my own incompetence and being overwhelmed for I opened Elden Ring, Bloodborne and Dark Souls just to close it again...). I am glad they did not show the fight between our beloved Doggo and the mc, I do not know if the tears could have been held back if that were the case.
Also, please tell me there is a small percentage of people like me whom have attempted or never played the Dark Souls series but is deeply fascinated by its lore?
I find it awesome you can appreciate the lore and story building without playing the games. They're not for everyone but they give you plenty of tools to experiment and find what works best for you. Failure is the best teacher so as long as you're having fun with it, that's all that matters. I would suggest trying it out again
@Dakota Cross Naw, the encouragement I received from you has me smiling and reconsidering an attempt. The funny part is I have looked into the enemies from games as well, researched their lore and movesets, but the character build and items are so vast. I am also not fully aware of the difficulty, for the most challenging game I have played is the Kingdom Hearts series on critical. The Dark Souls series is so different, and small mishaps are punished severely.
How did you prepare for the Fromsoft games, and have you succeeded? Thank you again for the encouragement ♡
Every time I watch this video I cry ngl...
If you liked this one you should def check out the remastered about Gwyn and the Daughters of Chaos. Those are really good as well.
I always cry at the part where Sif recognizes you 😭😭😭
Oh also, if you want to feel worse. In the Sif fight, she limps and gets less efficient, like falls over and stumbles as she gets hurt.
For more context to the lore. Not sure if this is cannon/accurate. Sif was not only protecting the grave of Artorias but also the "player" to ensure that what happened to Artorias, doesn't happen to anyone else.
Seeing an animal cry always gets me I was close to tears but it's a lovely tale
Please keep reacting to the more lore in games
Ciaran actually loved Artorias, and likely never saw that romance through before he fell to the Abyss.
Her corpse, presumably, is lying against the back of Artorias's gravestone, as there you can find the Hornet Ring, which belongs to her.
This is the best story and saddest 😢
Amazing
While playing the game and piecing the story together for yourself, it can be difficult to experience the emotions involved. Vaati has a way of telling these stories, however, that just yanks at the heartstrings. This episode was great, but the next one "Children of Chaos" literally had me in tears at the end.
You should definitely react to his dark souls vid on Yhorm the giant and Lady Anri, overall I hope you continue to watch all his prepare to cry series especially the remastered versions
“Prepare to Cry” was a reference to the “Prepare to Die” edition of Dark Souls
Please do the Elden Ring Frenzied Flame Prepare to Cry video aswell!! Its the best one personally!
czcams.com/video/UFJtoVS8Qx0/video.html link to said video
Artorias probably has the saddest story when I saw sif in the game and he recognized who I was I almost started bawling because he didn't want u to face the same fate as artorias his owner
Awesome video, on the topic, as you guys have previously watched lore videos, mostly like these Dark Souls/Elden Ring ones,
Would you be down to react to Kirby lore?
It's wacky as heck, and clashes a ton with the franchise's playful and cute front.
The best recommendation I can think of is RPG Monger's "Attempting to Explain all of Kirby Lore in One Video", I think it's the name, they currently have two videos of Kirby Lore, but the first one, the one I mentioned is the most thorough but concise Kirby lore video in CZcams I believe.
Prepare to cry - Greirat the Thieves next?
You guys should check out the Halo Fan Animation - Remember by SODAZ. Really well done. Very talented animator.
There's a lot to like about the FromSoft series of games, but Artorias will always be near the top. He has such an overwhelming presence in almost everything from the first game, and when you finally find him, he lives up to all of it.
Souls games always have bosses that feel a little bs, like Kalameet (the dragon that got blasted out of the sky) and Manus for one reason or another, but Artorias is just an fair no holding back test of your skill. When you fight him, it doesn't feel like your dying because of some silly gimmick, but because he's genuinely strong. When you finally take him down, it feels like you're beating him and not beating some annoying mechanic the game is throwing at you. The original Dark Souls is plagued with a plethora of unfun or annoying bosses, but Artorias always stands out as such a fantastic moment.
FromSoft really do a great job at building characters and their worlds without having tons of exposition and dialogue thrown at you. Just learning about these things naturally through the world and gameplay feels fantastic.
18:36 Yes Artorias did saved Sif and Sif fought along side us to kill Manus just for us to go back years later and kill Sif because Sif would not give us the ring wich alow us to fight the 4 kings willingly because he was worried that we could have the same fate as Artorias. I cry everytime i see that scene when he recognize us and start crying...is like hes saying..."i cant let you do it, if you really want to, you have to kill me first." Why am i crying?
