I hope everyone enjoyed the unsettling tone we went for to match the horror of this quest line. Vaati and I want to make each installment in this series stand apart from the rest, both visually and thematically, and I think we definitely accomplished that for this one. Can’t wait to keep evolving the series, thanks for watching!

@@nickh3279 I feel given that fromsoft tends to add cut content back with DLC it's possible, I feel they probably cut his quest line because they felt it be to much for the base game. I really do hope either it gets added and finished completely or they add it and slightly alter it to better fit the narrative they want. If we do get the DLC and it say takes place in the past or future it could work well by having him seek it out then rather than now. In general I'm sure the DLC will add a lot of content that even if we don't get kale will probably surprass it granted i adore the kale content and the fact it was so close to seemingly being finished I feel it's more likely but obviously just speculation

I'm desperately hoping that alongside the DLC bringing standalone postgame content, they'll use the opportunity to flesh out those areas of the game that weren't quite finished on time. Specifically: - The cut merchant's questline (provides a LOT of necessary context to 3 Fingers) - The Recusant faction (it deserves its own ending!) - The Dynasty of Blood (currently we only ever meet one dude from this "faction") - The cut mimic questline (that fleshes out Nokron) I ALSO wouldn't mind if they updated a few of the more common copy-paste bosses and enemies to make their variants more unique and memorable...

It's really cool how this line of the story ties in together with the game. Vyke was supposed to be the next Elden Lord, he's seen on the cover of the game, he was powerful enough to gain 2 Great Runes before being embraced by the 3 fingers and thrown in a gaol, and he represents a character that acted selflessly and righteously to not murder a maiden for his own gain.

I think they cut it because somebody was scared of how much it would inspire anti-vaxxers and those who have been beaten, locked up and shunned to stand up against the oppressive governments.

“They think we worship the three fingers. That *we* called the maddening sickness down upon them. Well if that’s what they want from us, then that’s what they shall get from us!” I’m so angry this didn’t make it into the base game. Kale has so much good dialogue about his people, and it’s filled with so much emotion. He goes from a wandering spirit with curiosities about his ancestors and their legends, to someone completely consumed by his desire for revenge, enough to let the whole world burn away to avenge it. Hyetta’s quest is alright, but it doesn’t carry what Kale’s does. For me at least, she’s essentially just an NPC that gives you the frenzied flame seal, and no actual decent reason to inherit the flame itself. Kale makes you want to burn down the lands between just as much as he does.
@YorkJonhson Рік тому
Yeah, the reprise of, "May chaos take the world," was so well delivered. It feels like they removed one of the more poignant questlines of the game by cutting Kale's story. I'm happy to see it brought to life here in some form at least, but it's a shame that the devs cut it for whatever reason.

One thing I find interesting is that in the fight with the actual vyke in the evergaol, he never uses the frenzy incantations, only the dragon cult incants. It seems to me that Vyke wasn't corrupted by the flame of frenzy or never intended to become the frenzied lord and only to use it to burn the thorns of the erdtree. However, unbeknownst to his maiden who thought he betrayed her, she commits suicide. It could also make sense why there is a spirit version we fight in the church of inhibition which could be a shade of the past, the vyke who was saddened by the loss of his maiden, filled with anger and hatred against himself and also having just inherited the flame of frenzy. Truly a tragic character, even more so if this is true.
@eviltoad746 9 днів тому
His armor is actually singed in a way that seems to suggest he changed his mind and tried to turn away before the fingers grabbed him. He had his armor on too, which protected him somewhat, so that only one of his eyes got infected by the flame of frenzy. Which he then removed. That's the fingerprint grape you pick up
@CyberJay112 Рік тому
I don't know why, but Kale's line "Divest yourself of everything" just hits me in such a way that I can't explain. It really shows how much emotion and passion went into the character. Sad that it was mostly cut. It truly makes me shiver every time I hear it.

On rewatching this video, I’ve always thought that Shabriri’s little laugh after he says “I… cannot… die…” at 19:25 is one of ironic pain. He is a trickster, lying and weaving words to get what he wants, but that little laugh makes it seem like he just wants his own existence to end. That becoming so intermingled in the frenzied flame has hurt him in such a deep and grievous way that he would rather burn everything to ash just to stop his own suffering. I don’t know. I haven’t gotten to this part in game yet so I don’t know if it’s cut content or really good cinematography on Vaati’s part or even just a normal part of the game’s files. Either way, it’s a beautifully haunting reminder that even though the Frenzied Flame is a force of retribution, it still hurts even the ones wielding it to perpetuate the cycle of revenge.

I think that Vyke locked himself away in the gaol. I think the frenzied flame didn't have full control him. BECAUSE, his armor is scorched by the 3 fingers, which means he didn't enter the chamber naked. I think after this happened the 3 fingers and their followers learned from this mistake, thus is why they now tell you to divest youself of your belongings now. It's just a theory but this does make alot of sense.

After playing over 6 playthroughs I firmly believe the frenzied flame ending is the coolest one. It's Greek tragedy at it's finest, the hero that became the villain because it was the only way of saving the girl, and in doing so did what she hated the most, pushing her to become the hero of her own story and hunting down he who saved her, killed her past, destructive purpose by becoming her new, sadder one. Insane.

‘Love is the end of duty’ Vyke certainly had a true bond with his maiden, a bond stronger than duty itself, stronger than the title of Lord. You must have heard people saying ‘a hero will sacrifice you to save the world, but a villain will sacrifice the world to save you’, Vyke tossed aside his ambitions and destiny itself to remain with his beloved, but unfortunately she passed, so now he’s just the embodiment of regret, grief, and vengeance. Truly an underrated character.

I love this editing. It added so much more weight to Kalé and Yura, and shows just one of the many struggles going on in the lands Between. A pointless struggle of just surviving, with every reason for survival being stripped away, and no answer for how to fix it besides "Burn it all down." Personally, I like to add an extra tragic twist, in which my character chose to burn everything away, including herself, in hopes that someone can kill her, and create a new and better world from its ashes. A world free from Marika's mistakes, from the machinations of demi-gods, hopefully from the grasps of the outer-gods, and free of all of the side effects all of those have created.

Shabriri roars it like a rallying cry, like a mad man who delights in the idea of 'chaos taking the world'. He shouts it like a zealot for a faith he does not comprehend. Kale here doesn't make it sound like a rallying cry, not like a zealot, but like a very tired, broken man who just wants it all to be *over* for everyone's sake. He knows that the flame will mean the end of this world, and basically raises his glass and says 'be done with it then.' Amazing storytelling from you guys in this scene.

Vaati, you have truly outdone yourself on this one. This wasn't just a retelling of a story in a vidya game, this elevated the story to far more gripping and terrifying heights. This is an incredible achievement, and you can be proud of yourself and the people you surround yourself with when making these. I would recommend this video to anyone that doesn't play video games, to show how far video game story telling has come.

@VaatiVidya Рік тому
Some lore notes: A lot of Kale's questline and dialogue in this video is featured in cut content. The same goes for Vyke. That's why you didn't experience these stories in-game! SekiroDubi on UKposts has a good breakdown of Kale & Vyke's cut content. There's a lot of room for interpretation on Vyke's character, and this is my take on him. Yours may be different. There was a LOT planned for his character before it was cut/changed for the final game. And since a lot of people will ask "how do you know Vyke had two great runes" - Enia says "only once before have I seen two Great Runes together", and the Fingerprint Armor makes it clear that "No other Tarnished was closer to the throne of the Elden Lord than Vyke". Thus, he probably had the two great runes. As for which runes - remember that there are other Great Runes out there. Ranni's for example, Miquella's..I guess it's possible he possessed some unknown Great Runes? As for whether Hyetta "took over" Irina's body..well - the two characters share the exact same model, the same voice actress, and Hyetta can only be encountered after talking to Irina. It's true that Irina's body remains after Hyetta continues on - but I personally put that down to a developer oversight more than anything else. Don't forget - Shabriri takes over Yura's body as well. This is a frenzy-flame thing, it seems. Yura doesn't actually support you in-game near Edgar the Revenger - but I needed to incorporate Yura into the story because he appears later, so this was the best way to do it. Edgar also doesn't use frenzy spells in-game, but he DOES drop a shabriri grape, and there is a phantom that talks about frenzy right next to Edgar's shack. Prepare to Cry has always been about my interpretation of the story told cinematically, so please forgive and embrace these takes, and keep them separate from your own interpretation of the lore!

What's so interesting to me is that even if you purge the flame of frenzy from your body with the needle, Melina won't forgive you. It's not just that she scorns you for playing with the world ending fire, it's also that you've taken from her the very meaning of her existence. Her mother, that woman who lived in the erdtree (you know the one), told her she had been born to burn the erdtree. And even if she gets to live, if you can call a bodiless burned spirit incapable of independent movement living, she won't forgive you for taking away her purpose, her destiny, and her chance to die. Shabriri, famous liar, tells you that you can spare Melina. He tells you that he has been given this body willingly. Can you trust him on either account?
@customink1576 Рік тому
Honestly that gives way more context with Melina going after the player - I remember the memes players made where Melina says she'll kill us when while we're a "lvl 250 badass" or whatever but given that her destiny is to die to fire, going after the Lord of Frenzied Flame may just be the last way she'll get that chance.

And even with those lies told to us it is still the best choice one can make. The world was full of chaos, hate, suffering even before shabriri, for whom you need to ascend to be the Elden Lord, when even those who are closest to you will die no matter what you do. This is the only way how to not create sickening circle of events like in Dark Souls.

This video was incredibly done, but my favorite part about this ending wasn't shown, that is how hard to get to the 3 fingers is. Not only is is very hard to get to the sewers, then traversing through the pipes, to that huge elevator to Mohg's bossfight and the seal left by Morgott. Shows the incredible lenghts that the adherents of the Golden Order went to to hide the merchants and the frenzied flame, and I think that is some great enviromental storytelling, the "show not tell" that From is so good at

Does anyone understand what's up with the three fingers? Is there any meaning behind it? How are they connected to the two fingers, I thought the Frenzied Flame is basically just another "will" or godly entity from another world/universe/sphere, just like "the Moon", the Two fingers or the God of Rot?

This video was a masterpiece. It is pretty interesting that the “counter” to madness is sleep, being that the icons for madness and sleep are the same just open eye or closed eye. Makes me wonder if Melina’s other eye opening after the frenzy ending is an awakening of her true power to quiet the madness with forced sleep/death. I hope a future dlc develops this story deeper

You know... I can imagine the merchants, buried down there, despairing over their fate, trying to find a way out. Then one of them suggest the unthinkable.

And played, played, played, played... Until one of them started screaming.
