The Day the World GOT GUD

Pardon me as I forgot to do one thing in this video: Special thanks to these patrons, The Harbo and OldbeanUK! I only hope the long wait was worth it. Thank you for watching everyone.

The titanite demon being afraid of Andre's bare fist boxing and drop kicks is now cannon, no you cannot change my mind.

I like the point of Solaire’s optimism possibly being naïveté. But I like to think Solaire is very aware of his role in the world of Dark Souls. Everything is bleak. It’s a hopeless world cursed by undeath and decay, and yet he chooses to look towards the sun. The warm light breaking through the dreary clouds. Because that’s what Solaire aspires to be. That’s why he just wants to help you. He wants to be the little warmth left in a cold world.

Imo one of the saddest parts of Sifs fight is if you do the DLC and save her she remembers you and gives you a little nudge before the fight

The family saying is still hilarious all these years later. Like grandpa used to recite this extremely specific exposition at Thanksgiving every year. I love it.

Rhea didn't go to the archives, she was kidnapped. In fact, all of the corpses in the cells are captured maidens. Same goes for blue snake-octopus creatures, they're all maidens that have been captured by Seath for use in his experiments attempting to recreate the stone dragons' scales of immortality via crossbreeding...

You are absolutely NOT the only one that misses the ethereal flames of the original version. The more normal looking flames was the ver first thing I truly noticed in the remaster and I wish they never changed it

(Yes I went through the entire video manually to get these timestamps, yes I am insane. If anything needs correcting or adding, let me know in a reply!)

I'd like to see a full remake where they complete the rushed areas at the end of the game

My favorite part of fighting Artorias in the DLC and then going and fight Sif in the main game is seeing the similarities in their sword play. they did a really good job of making Sif look like a companion that actually learned from Artorias.

MY BOY, HE’S RETURNED!

I stumbled across this video while stoned out of my mind and it was truly incredible and very deep especially towards the end.. i enjoyed every second of this, thank you for making it.

this is my first introduction to your channel. Honestly, i have no clue how it even popped up in my youtube recommended feed. But i am very glad it did. This was an amazing take on a game i played a decade ago. in truth, i never finished dark souls. Even so, your video was thought provoking, educational, hilarious and all together masterfully edted. I hope you continue to make content. You have both real talent and it shows you've worked hard to "get gud" at making what you find awesome, just as awesome for random people on the internet. This was a wonderful introduction to your channel. Well done Sethorven.

Dude...for real ... when you started your monologue right as you talked about Solair...genuinely brought me to tears. That was very moving

I had actually never seen the OG version of the bonfires, but now that I have, I completely agree. The old look was amazing, and mirrored the coiled sword design in an interesting way.

I've always gotten emotional when it comes to animals, and even more so when someone continues to push forward on their last leg even in futility. That boss made me shed tears.

your explanation of going hollow just touched my heart. It's actually something I struggle with, and you put into words. Great stuff, I watched the whole thing through and I've never seen anything like it.

Not only he’s back, but it’s a 2 HOUR VIDEO?! God bless you Seth!

Secretly hoping he also does one of these for each part of the trilogy. Idgaf about how long they are

The sun bro really made us not feel alone on our journey. He really stired some strong feelings.
