Dark Souls 3 ► 10 Early Game Secrets

Alright..upload shenanigans are over, it's finally done. Slight warning not to watch if you're still on your first playthrough! There's a late game boss you CAN fight in the early-game that you might not want spoiled.

Making this video has been a nightmare for some reason lol. I didn't tell you guys, but here's a story. Going to post in point form because writing is hard.


1. So I finished narrating the audio for about an hour, and had it all done and saved.


2. Celebrate with a coffee and some oreos. Promptly trip on headphone wire and spill coffee all over keyboard.


3. Panic. Clean keyboard. Notice computer is running insanely slow and is freezing up for some reason (this makes no sense, it's just a keyboard but okay)


4. SAVE narration, restart computer. Narration auto saves to an hour ago (yay). I lose everything


5. Keyboard is inserting random fullstops .like . this. everywhere.


6. Decide there is still coffee in keyboard. I know! I'll get a hairdryer and dry it out since I can't reach in there.


7. Blowdry keyboard. Start playing hearthstone to pass the time. I wasn't paying attention, so my keys start to melt and deform.


8. fuck


9. pry open keyboard, clean the shit out of it, put molten keys back into place (probably), cry over 2 hours of lost time, then narrate again and try to sound happy.


10. Upload video, but it doesn't send out to subscriber feeds at all when I make it public


11. Upload video again, but realise i've made a major mistake in one of the facts


12. Upload video again, all is well in vaatiland


Now I share with you because hopefully someone found this shitshow entertaining :)

Oh my god Patreon why did you eat my formatting

**Potential Spoilers, I guess?** Is Yellowfinger a male or female? Great Farron Dart refers to a daughter, Heysel, which I just assumed was Yellowfinger. >.> If Yellowfinger is the daughter then... who was the leader of the legion’s acolytes? And does Heysel have some sort of relationship with the crystal sages? Also why does Rosaria turn people into maggots. And why does Leonhard suddenly hate her! And is Rosaria related to Gwynevere ? Ahem, anyway. EDIT: Oh, and re: the undead cage dudes, Do we know what "nana" is translated from in the original Japanese? Since nana (in english) can refer to grandmother, and then the conglomerate mentions grandson, I'm making the assumption he's referring to a familial relationship. I agree it’s a hint, but the question there is: does this hint have any lore basis or just some random thing one of the devs came up with? The little song seems to imply that (multiple) older women have vanished and their grandchildren (or child?) have decided to “carry the cage.” Whatever that means. This might be related to the theory that Sirris is the shrine maiden’s granddaughter and Hodrick is her grandfather? Or killed her grandfather? We know Sirris has an axe to grind with Rosaria’s Fingers, but she never mentions how she feels about mound makers as a covenant. The shackle tooltip mentions: “each victim is another connection, an addition to the family.” So that might make the grandmother/grandchild connection more spiritual than biological. Which then loops back to who the grandmothers that vanish are and why are they are vanishing at all!

Hang in there Vaati! I know the pains of editing, but in the long run, it all works out. Keep up the hard work.

I love these secret facts videos you are making! I think they are great and I think that we can work as a community to help add more to the collection. Like I noticed that at the Profaned Capital bonfire, the corpse that gives you the Stretch Out gesture is in fact Laddersmith Gilligan from Dark Souls 2! You probably already noticed this because you're so keen but my question is why was he kill and how? My best guest is that he work himself to death because there are literally a ton of large ladders built around the Profaned Capital that would put Blightown to shame. What's is your theory?

KinOfKline

Hey, Vaati. I had a thought concerning the undead conglomerate. I commented on YouTube, but I saw you had some 2000 comments already, and I wasn't sure you'd ever see it. Hope you don't mind me posting it here. The cage guy is definitely giving you a hint. My thought is that nana refers to Hodrick, and that by "becoming nana's shade", you're becoming a phantom in the service of the mound makers covenant. "Shade" is a synonym for "phantom" after all.

This story will make the video even more worthwhile when i can finally allow myself to consume spoilers~

Maic López Sáenz

Your voice is beautiful as always, no worries there. I think that is a hint about the cage um... trick? I guess I'll call it a trick. At least that was the thought I had as well, though I'm not terribly confident about it either. I love covenants.

De

I know that pain Vaati! Sometimes I also lost all the work, which I've done. It's great that it didn't stop you from making the video in the end! That's the spirit! ;)

Poor Vaati :( I cant remember how many keyboards I destroyed in the past 2 years, about 4 I guess? Milk, coffe, tea, even fried sausages (Oh yeah not joking but grab a super hot sausage with your finger is a huuuugggeee mistake), I know this pain, but well luckly it doesn't frozen my conputer(And sure, while I try to clean it up, my character in game died a hundred times). Anyway, Thanks for the video :D

Tarec

Man, sounds like you need a hug. Sorry it all went to hell. On the bright side it's an amazing video and I love it.

Icantseeyourtoes

"8. Fuck" hahahha made my day 😂😂😂

Jesse Munoz

Going to be honest, melting the keys in your keyboard was pretty entertaining Sucks you had so much pain over this one video, but at least some humor came out of it. The video itself, I didn't know about the ring or the estus in firelink. I'm going to have to get that next time I get on

ZardBrood

I'm so sorry all that happened to you, sounds like a real nightmare. Even more sorry to not be seeing the videos because I'm on total media blackout until I finish the game. However, all that seems like a real fun story to remember for the future, thanks for sharing it.

Allan Cruz

Fun times.

Paul Cunningham

Well, that boss was already spoiled for me at the event... Also damnit Vaati what did we say about Hearthstone? D:
