Just wanted to add that the Two-handed sneaking was found way before the remake. The discovery dates back to July 2010 and you can find records of this on the stealth section of the Demon's Souls wikidot wiki, below "Large weapons effect". You can see the exact date of discovery(26 Jul 2010) by scrolling down onto [History] on the wiki page.
Oh god is the slav
Nice
YMFAH
Oh no, the GODS are talking. Your videos are awesome, keep the good work!
@@SimonBanquillo *Electro Swing music intensifies*
Penetrator bouncing Biorr like that at 1:55 is probably the funniest damn thing in the entire game and I love blue point for that addition. 10/10 remake.
Yeet
Biorr got B O I N K E D
Thank you for pointing that out Had a good laugh
Watch the og animation, it’s even funnier
Ohhhh he used the music from one of those Elden Ring fan art entries, always loved that one.
You said the E word, I like the E word.
Oooooooooooooooooooh
I cannot believe it took me this long to realize that the 3 Black Phantoms in 1-4 are Penetrator, Phalanx and Tower Knights human forms.
UPDATE: The secret at 15:00 has a weird glitch associated with it? Apparently you can only receive the Providencial Ring by trading with Sparkly if the Sword of Searching you trade was created with a Scimitar as the base weapon. Pretty crazy oversight by Bluepoint - and kind of a miracle this was discovered at all.
Ty sweetie
ty vaadi but i would never miss it. watch till the end gang!
More specifically the Large Sword of Searching *MUST* be crafted using the base weapon scimitar+8. If you make it from any of the other curved weapon choices, Sparkly will not accept it in trade for some reason.
what are the black phantoms Vaati? are they real?
I can probably answer why this happens, based on my knowledge of how FROM games work internally. I can't guarantee that Bluepoint kept this data intact when remaking the game, but I would be surprised if they did not. When you create a boss weapon, the game needs to store what weapon it came from so that you could un-upgrade it if you felt so inclined. This is stored in a field called 'originEquipWeapon', but any given weapon can only have one entry in this field. To get around this, there's actually 9 weapons, all called "Large Sword of Searching" with identical data except for this one field. For example, the first one has ID 40900 and references weapon 40008, a Scimitar +8, while the second one has ID 40901 and references weapon 40108, a Kilij +8. Because Sparkly trades are looking for a specific item ID, Bluepoint probably found the very first Large Sword of Searching and used its ID for the trade script, which corresponds to the Scimitar +8, and neglected to add trades for the other versions of the weapon. Dark Souls works the same way. The reason I'm familiar with this is because when I made the item randomizer mod for that game, it includes an option to randomly replace boss souls with an item that's created from them instead, and I needed to remember to also randomize which originWeapon version of the boss weapon you get, so that you can possibly downgrade the boss weapon into an interesting weapon each time rather than always getting the first one on the list.
A cool thing I realized: The sad blue phantom in The Nexus says he wonders if his corporeal body has gone rotten. While this body isn't findable in-game (to my knowledge), the blue is equipped with the Plate Set of armor and a Broadsword, which are all sold by the Dregling Merchant. So even if WE cant find the body, it's clear that our nice pillager buddy did, and looted his corpse :D
I think he's somewhere in the tower of latria, reaching up to a window
So are u saying that if u equipped the plate set and carry a broadsword u look blue ? where is his corpse do u know ? a comment left said they think it's in Latria reaching up to a window 🤔 I'm curious that's all as I'm still playing the remake.
Holy crap, I had no idea they added those human phantom imprints when the 4 bosses die, what an amazing discovery! I also love that it essentially confirms the theory about Oolan.
Me neither. Though I did notice Phalanx's feminine death scream.
You could also hand wave away Ostrava's gender mistake about Oolan as a character flaw: his lack of attention to detail. He mixes up the fates of Vallarfax and Biorr as well. He thinks Biorr is the one who left to inform the world and Vallarfax went missing, when the Narrator says it was Vallarfax who left, and Biorr is the one the player finds locked in a cell. Ostrava is also not attentive of his surroundings as he constantly gets himself trapped by enemies.
@@GuardianOwl didn't think of it that way; that's an interesting take.
More LORE Master in Community :3
@@holoceneevent4534 I was about to comment about his use of "his" in reference to Oolan and Vaati calling them "her", but then the very comment you are asking why nobody comments on that, convinced me of Ostrava just being an idiot. So, basically, everybody already thinks Oolan is female and just assumes he is wrong; and him being wrong A LOT, nigh confirms that. Edit: Vaati also mentions this in the video.
Is there a secret on how to get a PS5?
1. Lie down 2. Try not to cry 3. Cry a lot
Thank you for the helpful advice
@@VaatiVidya I used to cry a lot, but then I saw this woman named Maria sitting at the upper part of a clock tower and I stopped crying, good thing there's nothing that would make me cry whenever I remember her, nothing at all...
You need pure white world tendency but pure black character tendency and go to Area 5-1. Unfortunately we are in pure black world tendency, people are too solidary and Area 51 is locked.

Oh thats not what you meant
man imagine this much effort put into the dark souls remastered
Which is why this is a Remake, not a remastered.
Hopefully we will see ds remake
People will bitch about every changes but i want one to
Why bother? The crybabies will whine about even the slightest change anyways if this remake is anything to go by.
@@des447 Bloodborne is the most likely, considering it is owned by Sony, as is Bluepoint. Not that it's a bad thing. Bloodborne remade with Demon Souls-level graphics would be fucking amazing.
Wait so, if Bluepoint seemingly knew Oolan wasn't male, then why did they keep the translation error? Were they really THAT dedicated to keep EVERYTHING the same that they'd keep an error??
I mean he is male, according to the game. Vat can be wrong some times
It is possible that it wasn’t a translation error, and in lore there are reasons a female character is referred to with male pronouns. Perhaps, over the ages, Oolan’s true gender was lost to time. In some countries, knights are referred to as ‘sir’ regardless of gender, but it is commonly associated with men. It’s possible that Oolan was rediscovered but believed to be a man because of how she was referred to. Or, Oolan is just the first transgender Soulsborne character. I don’t know if the female invader version of Oolan was in the original, but if they were, it’s possible Oolan was always a female character with intentionally male pronouns. OR, yes, they coukd just be that dedicated to keep everything the same. They did intentionally leave some glitches.
@@holoceneevent4534 The possibility of her being trans was precisely 1/4 of my comment, and 1/3 of the possible explanations. If you look at four paragraphs and grapple on to the one remotely political thing, you’re the one who needs to stop pushing. Plus I mean... how coukd she _just_ be a man? Do you not literally see her invader being a woman? Whatever it is, there is _something_ going on with Oolan. Even if it is just BluePoint keeping a translation error to remain faithful.
@@JyujinPlus Woman + translation error is the most likely explanation.
Pretty sure it's a type of tea.
7:02 That is one hell of an easter egg.
i saw that ledge at 5:37 in-game, and didn't even try to jump down because i didn't remember it being in the original. kicking myself now
Souls games are so beautiful honestly, I constantly want to see how the world's always look like before the games due to all the wonderful details the games have
Agreed. I’m a weirdo who often just walks around to look at stuff when I play video games. Like God of War… so much detail and amazing world building you miss if you just run through killing! I love just exploring in photo mode and appreciating all of the crazy details and hard work they put into the game. It bugs me that so many games have such a limited view, most people never really look up but if you do you see amazing things! The camera normally misses so much of the detail that get worked hard to put, so occasionally just stop and look around and don’t forget to look upwards on occasion!
anyone else realize the old Fat Officials laugh gets turned into one of Smoughs for Dark Souls
Since most of the demons are men made monstrous, I assumed the vanguard was one as well and I like to think those who guard it were his soldiers who restrained him after he became uncontrollable and still feed and guard him out of their loyalty for their former commander. Absolutely no textual evidence for that, but it’s not impossible either. It’s always fun to fill in those intentional blanks left in by froms writers/level designers
Btw when you perform a Backstab with the two handed Theif Ring it is called an „edstab“ the two guys from the German Tv Show who discovered this called it that way upon disvocering. It is because their Charakter is called „Edmundenzel“
Mal schauen ob sich der Name noch durchsetzen wird.
I liked the lore surrounding the 4 knights, and the echoes of their human form as the boss soul dissipates upon killing them. Really cool how Bluepoint added all of these little details.
Vaati you son of a god, I hear that beautiful custom boss music in the background!- god I’m glad I’ve been following you for years now.
Was just binging Vaati's Demon's Souls videos!! Just finished my first playthrough, so I can watch spoiler free!
Damn, last time I was this early the gods were still in Anor Londo.
That ad read transition was really good, props to you my man👌
11:07 - You've GOT to be kidding...
Y’know i was bout to click on something else at the top of my screen and i got recommended this at the same.
That ExpressVPN advertisement was so sudden hahaha
Wonderful video Vaati. I have learned a great deal and look forward to using that knowledge when I get a PS5 and demon’s souls.
Glad to have you back Vaati
All I want is for Vaati to read me souls lore while I fall asleep every night
The first one is very neat, absolutely love these subtle details in games!
Thanks for all your hard work Vaati!
Love your videos vaati, you were part of the reason I found my favorite game series, and cemented my love of artorias, thank you for being such a great youtuber, you’re genuinely fun to watch, to anyone who reads this, have a great day!
i thought the title was "the final 15 seconds of demons souls" and was like damn what happened
I’m still upset that we still don’t have the Tower Knight set
There's gotta be a second secret door hiding it somewhere
This is so rad. Love the attention to detail bluepoint put into this game
I didn't know about the bosses spirits after death , I like your videos man , keep it up and thanks to share it with us
I watched something about the mistranslation of a warrior's gender; as a Japanese>English translator myself who has done similar work, I've seen such translations, oftentimes because English speakers often apply pronouns more often than Japanese speakers for clarification, and sometimes assumptions (as to which gender the subject is) are made when certain pronouns are applied (one reason I am SOOO glad English has the pronoun "they" when there is ambiguity and believe that such a neutral pronoun should be applied consistently until actual gender, if any, is established).
That smooth as silk switch from lore/speculation to advertisement.
This video was a treat! Every second of it was so enjoyable.
you just saved my day with the bonus secret, thank you so much!
I... cannot believe he tied the Express VPN ad in to the lore
My mom was recently diagnosed with cancer and it's terminal. All I wanted for Christmas was a PS5 and Demon Souls. Now all I want is to be able to have another Christmas with my mom.
I'm so sorry to hear that, man. I lost my mom to cancer 3 years ago and I miss her all the time. It happened fast, and I didn't get much opportunity to be with her. Make sure you spend as much time with her as you can. Talk to her about everything, and ask the questions only she can answer. Passing on that legacy is really important, and you will have wonderful memories of it when the pain subsides enough for you to notice them. And Demon's Souls on PS5 is incredible.
The strongest energy i send you and to your mother 🙏
All the best friend. 🙏
i hope you got that, i'm wishing your mom a full recovery.
Thank you so much for putting your advertisements at the end
I had to stay for the ad at the end, it's so creative
I didn’t even think of Elden Ring when those sounds in the Nexus start playing. Vaati is always a step ahead lmao
Imagine 4 years later I got recommended again. I think I will be still glad to watch it while other more comprehensive lore videos will be everywhere
Thanks VaatiVidya. You made this genre more interesting
YO VAATI that ad transition was smooth as hell
Yaaay NNN ends and Vaati posts a video! Sticky white stuff
@deadlyfeet Bi...so yes but actually no
I find that the juxtaposition between the calming nature of the song and Latria’s oppressive and tense atmosphere makes it even more haunting. It’s as if the level is trying to lull you to sleep, making you let your guard down so it’s terrors can pounce on you, their prey.
Your vids are so on point and interesting you are the best!
Hey Vaati, we'd love for you to make a video summarizing/ detailing the story of Demon's Souls using remaster footage!
9:33 reminds me of that I Feel Fantastic video, specifically when the robot sings the word Fantastic.
Oh god that one is creepy
So about the soul remains of the bosses , i think it could be inspired by berserk where after the apostle Wyald is defeated , we can see his human form before his transformation and since apostles are more or less the demons of the berserk universe , it's possible that they referenced that . Now ofc it could be a stretch to make this connection , especially since it's not a concept unique to berserk but i think it's possible since it inspired much of miyazaki's work and maybe someone at bluepoint is a fan too
So rad to hear Vaati talking about Ed-Step. Didn't expect this. ^^
That transition into the sponsor at 13:25 was smooth vaati
Express VPN is the Dark Souls of VPN's
BonfireVPN is the Dark Souls of VPNs
Thank you Bluepoint.
Hey I’ve never been this early! Love all your videos, keep up the great work brother 💚
What a smooth plug. Can't even be mad, well done.
Love how you explain that changes are positive and give detailed reasons why 🙏🏽 to many people moan about change instead of trying to enjoy and appreciate what we have been given in this remake
The Old One stirs in it's nap, taking tales from King Allant and dreaming up the demonic reflections of his tales. At least that's how I take the demon's lore
All the bosses in the Shrine of Storms are also from the folklore of the Shadowmen. The Adjudicator was the judge of the dead, the Old Hero was just that, the Storm King was the mythical king of the sky rays that inhabited their island.
@@elias.t about The Old Hero. He is blind and his speciality apparently was luck. Kinda on point, since in medieval times blind would need a lot of luck, especially to reach the legendary status.
Vaaiti thank u for the tips and tricks for the remake and secrets and the importance of the lore cuz i have not played demon souls at all and the remake is a great chance for me
These are incredible! What outstanding detail!
>body type armor restrictions WHY is that a thing in this game?!
The level of detail, care and love from bluepoint is incredible
Probably the best ad plug I’ve ever seen, didn’t even skip it!
God I would just love to hear your voice on a prepare to cry dragon age lore that would be amazing but anyways you are a fantastic creator your voice is such a powerful voice for the dark souls games you really put emotion in a mysterious and quite dark game series. Your amazing man I respect you so much for what you have given me. The chance to see a game as more than a game as a story it’s actually amazing thank you
Bluepoint needs to remake Vagrant Story
All of the human forms of the bosses just made me immediately think of Fate... and now I cant go back
And pray tell, where does Astolfo fit into this exactly?
@@kanseidorifto2430 Who knows... wherever he fits in he is still best boy
Hey VaatiVidya, I don't have a ps5 to play Demon Souls, but at least I was able to play Dark souls series 1 to 3 and even bloodborn, and it's just as satisfaying to watch about how you talk about this games in a wholesome way, thanks for putting those out man ! Fan from brazil.
You got me with the AD, take my like.
If bluepoint did this to bloodborne I wouldn’t leave my house for a month
I would love if from would patch the game so it can go above 30fps like they did dark souls 2,3 and Sekiro
@@loki43 The animations in Bloodborne are fixed to 30 fps (like dodge and attack speed) so it's not as easy as the other games to go above 30 fps. Yeah I still wish for a remaster/remake it would be a great time to experience the game again
@@marcoleung7253 but someone already made a homebrew patch for the game to run at 60 fps. If someone can do that at home in their spare time I'm sure fromsoft could.
The original Dark Souls was like that too.
Me when I read an item description and listen to npc dialogue for 2 seconds: Veetivideo
+8 Halberd also works with the hero soul to get you the sword of searching. I'm one of the people who got 29 rings on a character then realised I needed the providential, so I made a new character for the plat (used the luck glitch of course).
Got to say, your videos always amaze me, every soulsborne fan should watch them.
I am glad that developers really tried to add a new soul to the game.
This game is so underrated yet a masterpiece
People are buying consoles for this game and one of, if not the most anticipated ps 5 game, definitely not what i would call underrated
Thanks for the content Vaati.
When breaking boxes and other stuff with the moonlight greatsword, you get a unique animation for only this special sword, dont know if anyone mentioned this so far. Just a nice detail
vaati: i preferred the sound design of the old Latria the old Latria: [lord rydell having a hernia forever]
Honestly the lore in Demon's Souls is so much more interesting than a lot of the lore in the Dark Souls series
god, @ 13:15 you transitioned from lore into that express vpn promotion so smooth that i went and bought it.
Keep on making great videos man
Who else enjoyed hearing Erda's Ring in the Shrine of Storms?
Really enjoying the game atm, on my second play through going for platinum.🙌🏻
The particle effects in this are absolutely spectacular
God, Vaati‘s Voice fits *PERFECTLY* to dark fantasy games like the Demon‘s Souls and Bloodborne. I love it 🥰
"the tower knights wielding a scrapping spear" is this a reference to the secret boss john souls?
The imprint thing blew my mind. Never noticed it having just completed the game, but damn that's some attention to detail.
Now this is how you make a video, no stupid intro or long winded introduction! one in a million
is this remake not eligible for the game awards? I see Spider man miles morales which came alongside Demon's Souls Remak on the ps5. Is their a reason this not listed in any list this year?
I'm just so frustrated that I won't get to play this till like, mid-2021. :/
At around 8:25 you can hear the music from the fate weaver entry in the Elden Ring boss competition in the background and gotta say I still love it.
Apologies for taking so long to become a subscriber. I greatly appreciate your high quality video.
Why wouldn’t u choose the ring of item discovery lol
Bluepoint: go ahead put all those secrets, deatils and easter egg how ever tiny it is, Vaati and the others will find it and share it anyway
Thanks on the bonus secret! Got my platinum last night. But there was one key detail missed. That Large Sword of Searching must be created from a scimitar +8. If you make it from one of the other pre-requisite swords, sparkly will not accept the trade. I discovered this the hard way, but had the materials to create a second Large Sword of Searching.
Keep up the awesome work man
I really shouldnt watch vat videos since i want to play demon souls blind... but i gota support vaty lol
