[EARLY ACCESS] 10 Japanese Secrets in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Hey all! This is your sneak peek at the next video, which reveals some fascinating real-life folklore. 

I hope you enjoy.

Also, keep an eye out for a stream later today!

The Story of Sekiro ► The Legend of Fountainhead Palace

With this, we reach the end of Sekiro's Story! While there are still some emotional elements I could tease out through Prepare to Cry..this series should equip you all with a full, deep knowledge of this incredible game. 

Thank you for sticking with me during this Sekiro-heavy time on the channel! I'll look to switch it up in the coming weeks..and here's hoping for some Elden Ring news at Gamescom on August 20th.

Cheers guys

The [$3 Reward] Story of Sekiro ► The Legend of Fountainhead Palace

Hey Oracles!

Here's your early access to the final episode of "The Story of Sekiro", focused on the Fountainhead Palace.

It's been a privilege making these videos for you the past few months, and I'm glad that they can stand as a decent example of Sekiro's deeper story.

There's of course much more to come..but now that this is out of the way I can breathe easy and focus on some other passion projects instead. Might switch it up with some Dark Souls, or hell, maybe even some ...

The Story of Sekiro ► The Village in the Mists

 New Sekiro Video - explaining the lore behind The Village Hidden in the Mists.

With this, we're now one episode away from explaining the majority of Sekiro's lore.  This is a series I'm pretty proud of, for I don't think a lot of this stuff has been explained up until now..and I think a lot of people ignore just how incredible Sekiro's lore is.

That said, hopefully we get some Elden Ring announcements soon :P

[EARLY ACCESS] The Story of Ashina Depths

Hey all!

We're almost done explaining the core story of Sekiro. While this episode is one of the weaker ones, this is still a series that i'm really proud of..as a lot of this has never been explored, and it proves the depth that this story has.

Thanks for sticking with me, as always.

Sekiro Story ► The Old Gods of the Sunken Valley

Hey all!

Enjoy! These videos may not get as many views, but they're the sort of thing I imagine you hardcore folks enjoy more than most YouTube plebs. It brings me a lot of joy to show this series to the world, because I think Sekiro lore is severely underrated. 

See you in the next one! 

[$3 Reward] Early Access to New Video

Hey all!

Here's an early access reward - a video diving into the lore of the Sunken Valley  https://youtu.be/K1AXXcFMB0I 

The Sunken Valley clan in particular are fascinating - and there's a question central to their lore that I couldn't puzzle out one way or another. There's an emotional hit at the end of the video regarding the Sculptor and Kingfisher..so you have that to look forward to :)

A Breakdown of Elden Ring [New Game by From Software]

Hey all!

A trailer for Elden Ring dropped a couple days ago..along with an interview with Miyazaki revealing a ton of information about the game.

Here I break down a title that may interest me more than any before it. 

Working on New Merch! Would love your opinion on colour.

Hey all!

Here is a lil' secret merch project I'm working on. It features a king's skull in a cup, which might remind you of a certain boss..

Anyway, choosing a colour is hard. Very hard. I need your help! Attached is an image..could you open it, and vote below on which colour combo you would personally wear?

Cheers!

Introducing "Great Rune", a New Game by From Software & George R. R. Martin

From Software are teaming up with George R. R. Martin to bring us a Norse-themed open world game called "Great Rune"..or so they say. Here's my take on these rumours (I believe them!) - https://youtu.be/0-vGNxS1MDI

Sekiro Story ► Senpou Temple and the Dragon's Return

Hey all!

Due to the insane detail in Sekiro's story, I decided to split the second half of its story into multiple video.

Here we explore every main detail in Senpou..yet there is so much more I wish I could say. With any luck, I'll be able to turn my "notes" document into something readable so you can all enjoy that as well!

Thank you for supporting me, as always. You're the reason I can focus on videos, provide for my child, and entertain my subs on YouTube. I don't engage...

[$3 Early Access Reward] The Story of Senpou Temple

Hey all,

Enjoy early access to the new video! -  https://youtu.be/qrBYxv9_77o 

These past few weeks I've been hard at work sorting through every scrap of lore in Sekiro. This video is on Senpou temple, and the next three should cover the majority of lore in the game. These are:

-The Story of the Sunken Valley

-The Story of Ashina Depths

-The Story of Fountainhead Palace

I was so ...

[EARLY ACCESS] Explaining the First Half of Sekiro's Story

Hey all,

I'm excited to finally share with you our first foray into Sekiro's story.

I felt splitting the story in half was the best way to format this..next week we'll cover the second half of the story, followed by "Endings Explained", then "The Missing Lore", then "Shadows Cry Twice", with "10 Secrets" videos in-between.

Thank you for your patience. I look forward to breaking this story down completely :D

[EARLY ACCESS] Things You Missed in the Hirata Estates

Hey all,

Here's a draft render of the next video - the Things You Missed in the Hirata Estates. I figure these are the sorts of things players will want to see in these early days while we're all still playing the game!

To those asking - working on a lore video as we speak. Should be a couple of weeks until we have a decent recap, then we'll interpret deeper once the foundations are set.

Exciting times ahead. Let's pick this game apart together!

20 Overlooked Mechanics in Sekiro

How are you all enjoying Sekiro? This probably doesn't mean much coming from a biased Souls fan with a YouTube channel..but I think it's a masterpiece.

The Beginner's Guide to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Hey all,

Recently I was invited back to the Activision offices for another session with Sekiro..and this time, I patiently learned everything I could about the systems in the game.

This video contains a fair few boss spoilers, but it might be worth a watch if you don't want to read any "tip" screens when you're playing through for the first time.

Enjoy! 2 more days!

First Official VaatiVidya Merchandise!

Hey all!

The last few months, I've been working in collaboration with cbot (https://twitter.com/cbotme?) on a design for merchandise. 

The design features Vaati (my youtube char), standing on a battlefield of familiar weaponry. An eclipse sits in the background, and he cradles a flame in his hand. I think you get where the inspiration comes from with these elements :P The text below reads "VaatiVidya" in ver...
