The Dark Souls Player Devoured by the Game

Parry this, casual.

42:44 Metroidvania moment, Alucard is currently going for 200% i see during this ARG lmfao

Shame that this is getting way more attention than Vermis Malum.

50:36 scared the shit out of me

19:54 gluttony is getting bigger 😅

I like how this isnt just a arg taking place in dark souls 1, instead actually playing a lot with dark souls lore.
The idea of the haunted cursed copy being a third ending, where instead of choosing between continuing the age of fire or letting it fade, something in the world makes the choice before you, with seath at the end having the head of a primeavel serpent like kaathe and frampt, suggesting the existance of a third serpent like mentioned halfway through the video, and it guiding this “something” off-screen, into creating a new ending, of turning the world back into the age of the ancients, with no light and no cold, no fire and no dark, no black and no white, just gray.
Throught the video, we slowly watch as the world falls apart and crumbles in on itself, much like what happens in dark souls 3, when the fire is about to fade, we are witnessing in real time the effect of the age fire fading, the bonfires and all sources of fire going off, all enemies other than dragons disappear, we are returning to the age of the ancients, where there is no disparity. im not sure if the steps taken to create this third ending were all made before the playthrough, or if it was still being done while it was being played, but i think we can probably guess some of the steps that would be needed be necessary to achive that ending by examining the world, for one, Gwynevere’s illusion 100% needs to be dispelled, maybe that is done to symbolically remove the control of the Gods of Anor Londo from this version of dark souls world, plunging it into darkness, but curiously, the 4 kings are still alive, infact, whatever thing is responsible for doing this to the game seemed VERY intent on stopping the player from killing the 4 kings, its the only time it attacks the player instead of just watching them, so the darkness and the abyss should still be spreading, maybe that’s why seath at the end is entirely black, maybe the age of dark has something to do with it?
Either way i loved the video and how well made it was

I think this is an alternate timeline where Aldritch got to Seath first and began using his knowledge to consume the other Gods. The shapeless black mass resembles him more.

I'm really glad I decided to give into my curiosity today and click on a video that YouTube recommended to me (presumably because one of the channels I watch frequently does challenge runs primarily in FromSoft games). I'm only halfway through but I'm commenting now so I don't forget and because I wanted to say how much I appreciate that you created this video in such a way that someone who isn't a huge dark souls fan could enjoy. I am somewhat familiar with the game itself from seeing challenge runs, but you laid a lot of important foundations throughout the video and provided enough context that I didn't have to have played DS myself at all to appreciate what was going on. plus, the voice over was pleasant to listen to and engaging without being overblown or overly dramatic. I especially appreciated the moments when you would add in your own footage to show what typically happens and when you would explain the game design bits. :D

The real curse is playing og prepare to die edition

soulsborne ARGs is a cool as hell concept, hope to see more of this.

Volrusk once again hitting it out of the park, i half expected this to be some continuation of Vermis Malum since it had a DS section in it too. But this was absolutely wonderful 🙏

wow 2015, cool to see
now I wana find more I need more RAHH RAHHHHHHHHH

this video is fantastic but I do wish you brightened it up a bit. I couldn't see anything for the second half

How did bro turn his usal Videos to this he cooked fr fr

This is cool,but ngl. wished we got more info or an explanation of some sort...also thatvwe had more



Edit: I can't find murlock11 channel,so tgis videi may be just a selfmade arg of sorts...

20:05 looks like a reference to the Primeval demon from Demon's Souls.

17:40 — Wait; the cannibal was a WOMAN? – Someone added an extra Tier to the list of Fugly things for that one, Legitimately i couldn't tell it's gender at first glance just from the view of it at 16:07.

this was great content very enjoyable and im still thinking about it 3 days later, watching it for the second time lol

ok ok ok the comments are to foucsed wi th seath or surprised that we got dark souls ARG but could we foucs on the unkwon black thing that was following the player all game or the red mistroius thing that killed us or what happend between the player going from the asylum to ash lake or how about why is lotric so scared of us and some npc`s already moved or have different dialgous

you can tell this guy fucking loves this shit because he's done what a whole team of theorists couldn't do in a full 3 years

uhh arg go away

Every darksouls 1 prepare to die edition is personalized.

Legendary feed pull

Gong down the great hollow before getting the lord vessel is masochistic

This is exactly how Dark Souls on Xbox 360 was before the very first patch.

Him stopping on the rafter after the first silver knight arrow made me so angry. No one who's beaten dark souls 4 times would EVER stop to see where the arrow came from.

The Knight's aren't even hard to deal with!!!

This also happens anytime after a seamless coop session weirdly enough

Am I the only one who can’t find the original post and yt playlist/video?

I like your interpretation but it has the fatal flaw of just like not addressing the creepy fucking black mass and squelching noises

Why did you say that Priscilla is seath and gwyneveres daughter that is like pure conjecture

Very well and nice video, are there other creepy pastas about souls games?

Oh this is good....

4th playthrough would dude really notice all the little things missing he looks at? Feel like wouldn't, but thats only real issue I saw with acting

39:50 why did he moan like that?? 🤣

thing for me is that, im so familiared with Dark Souls 1, because this game has been so broken and analysed by data mining and challange runs, i can see how you can manipulate and mod the game to get this footage.
i feel like this would have hit a lot better during the golden age of creepypastas

I love using preexisting media to create new stories. It’s super cool.

Evil souls

Bro just parry that shit.
Git gud casual
Well, what is it?
👇

The script better not be ai too

The fact that the "original channel" isn't linked in the description of a post hbomberguys plagiarism essay, video is the immediate evidence that it was made by this guy. And it is NOT a bad thing I just don't get the video strategy of making a cool story and then pretending it's someone else's so that you talking over and explaining it doesn't seem like lazy storytelling
