DS2 is canon in a sense that it’s “canon” ending lends to the final boss of DS3 and why the boss looks and attacks the way it does.

What was your canonical source of information regarding the Black Knights failing to defeat the demons and retreating? Based on the relationship between the Demons and Gwyn (many are later in Gwyns service) it a fair assumption that Gwyn and the Black Knights were somewhat successful in repelling the demons of Izalith. I can't find a canonical source to suggest they were defeated. Thanks

@@shawns.12 I mean you clearly haven’t understood how the world is set. The reason we are told basically nothing about the world is because nobody knows. You are in a dark world, your purpose is to usher in a new age of fire yet the game itself tells you you’ll fail, because that’s how it’s always been with every other undead/unkindled. You, as the chosen one, must travel the world without any knowledge about it. The only thing you have is your sword to protect you at any moment and bonfires, that provide a sense of comfort amidst all the insanity you are trying to overcome. Having NPCs that shit out story would only be a negative thing for the game and it wouldn’t even make sense. How do the NPCs know so much about the world ? Are they previous lords of cinder ? Have they managed to link the first flame?

One interesting piece about the DLC, after you beat Manus if you go back to the mushroom merchant, she tells you that she will not share your story with anyone, that your story will go unwritten in history, since you do not come from that timeline.

In Dark souls 2 it's established that whether Dark or Light was chosen, it all resets anyway. The flame can never be completely snuffed out, but will always fade. The Dark will restlessly try to consume the light, but itself will never die as long as humanity exists. And there will always eventually be a "hero" to light flame once again.

I wonder if the Fire Keepers last words “Ashen one, hear my voice still?” Are meant in a ‘we, the ashen one, entered our slumber because the world had gone dark and she was not certain of our fate and had questioned us if we could still hear her. Like seeking confirmation that we had gone back to our slumber.’ Or was it meant as a hint to something more...was the Fire Keeper hinting that, with the un-kindling of the first flame and bonfire, she too was meant to cease to exist as the embodiment of the Fire, yet she still lived even after the flame no longer burned? Could she have become the herald of the next Age of Fire? Could the eyes she received from the shrine have shown her a slightly different future? Could the Keeper have seen, like she said, a world without fire. One of darkness and an act of betrayal, one which we thought to have been acted out with Gale. Yet spun in a different tale? What if she saw them bringing about an ‘end’ to the first flame, yet the only way to keep the cycle going was for her to usher in the next era. One which tiny flames danced in the distance. Could she have a part in the appearance of the ‘flame’ which housed the lord souls? Could she have taken the first flame into herself along with the Lord soul we acquired, and simply existed in the darkness until time reared it’s head again and the next age was ready for the age of Fire to be rekindled? Was it likewise a fire keeper of past which sent the First flame to Gwen and the others? Were the eyes found in the shrine, actually the eyes which have been passed down through the chosen fire keepers who have keep the cycle in continuation behind the scenes and show the true destiny of the Keepers of Fire?

Did the Ashen One impale his dead body, in hopes to bring him to his duties once again, forcing him to be the contender for all Chosen Ones? Did the fire of the shrine cause the darkness to spread across his body as seen at the start of the game? Is the flame the cause of the undead despite being its only cure? In that case, it would prove that darkness is inevitable in every reality. Further emphasising the pointlessness of linking the flame. Or did the failure of lighting the shrine cause Gundyr's own core of humanity dwindle, to become corrupted by the darkness, just like Artorias did when he attempted to defeat Mannus?
@RogueScythe
@RogueScythe 3 роки тому
@@SurrealRocket3 It's likely that Gundyr either impaled himself out of duty or whomever set him on that path did so in order to continue to give him purpose. The fire did cause the dark to spread all over his body as the fire is used to suppress the dark, but after being suppressed for so long it rebels far more violently than it did in the past, like the first Dark Souls. The pus of man (the thing you see pop out of him) is the violent retaliation of the dark sign that we've seen. He has the dark sign because he is human. The flame is not a cure to the undead so much as it is like painting a turd, it just covers the "problem." In actuality it's not a problem and a natural course for things to take and how the Dark Soul operates, fire is just messing with the natural order and creating a problem where there was none, depending on what side you're on. The cycle of fire and dark is the inevitability of all reality, which was established in the first game. When the fire goes out, dark takes over, then the fire comes back to life.

Ahtu I think the intent is that things have decayed and twisted so much that no one can tell what really happened and maybe everything happened and didn't happen as different worlds and time lines join and tear apart. It's like walking through the ruins of many colliding realities where all the artifacts are mixed together with no way to tell what came from where. It gives my a sense of forlorn dread. Luckily the game also gives me a sense of justified rage that overwhelms the dread and nilhilism and will probably drive my wife away from me.

The Lord of Hollows ending is still my vote for the true ending. The usurpation of fire ending you detail is the ending that gives the souls series its cyclical nature, (after you steal the fire in 3, the embers rise and the lords rise in 1, starting the cycle over again.) But in the Hollows ending, you eliminate the fire completely and dawn a new age where humanity truly rules over all, and the lords of cinder and the gods are all destroyed. Thus ending the series once and for all.
@TheAshenHollow
@TheAshenHollow 6 років тому
It is my preferred ending as well, but when trying to make a completely canonical video I had to go with the Usurpation. The official game guide references it as "The True Ending", and that was as close as a canonical affirmation I could find!
@shadowlife15
@shadowlife15 6 років тому
ya I agree it makes sense for a canon, the series was meant to be a cycle. But something about the finality of the Lord of Hollows fits imo. I guess because miyazaki is done with souls games idk.
@StarboyXL9
@StarboyXL9 5 років тому
I'm guessing the Lord of Hollows ending results in the world becoming a barren, dark world with a materialist humanity ruling over the barren wastes? Because presumably the Fire ending results in an eventual New Age of Fire where the world enjoys brief prosperity until chaos, ruin, and darkness seek to overthrow it and almost do until the world is "reset" with this cycle going on and on until the world starts to break down on a fundamental level at which point the entire cycle of cycles must be reset again so that the world can begin anew. So while spiritualism in the DS universe results in a several brief periods of prosperity followed by a long dark age to reset everything, materialism results in a grimdark future in a dark, cold, and lonely universe but with humanity on top ruling the ashen heap with the potential for a new future? I think I got everything straight. That said, Dark Souls seems like the Warhammer 40k of fantasy, both in terms of grimdark and the philosophical messages it deals in.

The true cycle is extinguishing the fire in which dark is what remains. The firekeeper even says "Flames will once again dance across the dark" or someshit like that meaning after the age of dark is over, light will come back.

The untested graves was in the past. It was found out to be in the past by someone who never spoke to the handmaiden until the darkened firelink shrine, then finally spoke to her in the real time firelink shrine, where she recognizes the ashen one as someone she's seen before.

Not exactly, others can still link the flame. It hasn't gone out at the end of 1, you just walked away. If another under kills you and links the flame before it goes out then ds3 happens. The other possibility is explained in ds2 which pretty much says it doesn't matter what you choose because even of the flame goes out the embers will spark, keeping the flame alive and the cycle continuing on forever. This would also better explains all the kingdoms that have risen up and been destroyed referenced in ds3. Either way eventually you get to the ds3 point.

I initially understood it to imply you actually had done the Dark Lord ending, as you rise the ashen one, someone who failed to link the flame (or in actuality refused to.) I saw it as something of a punishment or a delayed prophecy coming true. Like you didn't fulfill your fate the first time so you have to do it again. It also helps explains why you kick so much ass in DS3. If you're literally the Dark Lord reborn it makes sense you ultimately curb stomp the Lords of Cinder and bring on the age of dark for reals this time. It was weird to me that the guy making the video assumed it wasn't the same character.

Seems ambiguous enough to me that the idea of either being interpretation being "canonical" is pretty debatable. All I can say is that what I posted above was the impression I got from the content presented by the game itself, and it hadn't initially occurred to me that others read it as definitively otherwise before viewing this video and reading the above comment. I get that my take's not necessarily the consensus view though.

@@jtillman8251 If one "fails" to link the fire, the cycle breaks, and no lords would follow. The shrine houses the lord souls of those who "succeeded". Ashen Ones are not Chosen Undead. They are two separate purposes of the myth. The Chosen Undead rose to be fodder for Gwyn's perpetuating flame. The Ashen One wakes to secure the fire when those expected to link it do not. If the Ashen One was a linker, he would be like the other Lords of Cinder. A being enthroned. If the Ashen Ones are failed linkers, bringers of the Dark Age, they would not be Ash, implying they were in proximity to the fire in some way. It's also worth noting that compared to the other games, the flame has faded so far that it requires more than one soul to relight the flame. Five in the case of DS3. They are all Lords of Cinder after all. Cinders imply a meager, pitiful source of fire. It would need many to make a whole flame.
