The end of this video was inspired by UndeadChestnut, who made this awesome comic: bit.ly/2vlnTXc
Some of you may also find this reminiscent of the Prepare to Cry Trailer we made 4 years ago :)

Patches: Dont Be Greedy! Also Patches: *charges 300 souls for some sticks and feathers*
We could easely reply that he see's more value in souls than in items themselves, therefore why he's asking you so much for simple items, particularly rubishes, we can see right there that any excuse is good enough to reclaim faithfully what you took greedely from others, a sincere form of respect for those who can't ask anything anymore
Not only that, but everything he sells is way overpriced. Only those who are untainted by greed, with no concern for profit or losses would buy from him.
Dose any one just get the feeling of hitting patches for this 😠 fack you patches
300 souls is like 5 cents m8 what are you crying about
@@notaheretic6675 rubbish is useless.
I was convinced Lapp was Patches until he gave me the slab, then I was like "patches would *never* do that". Such an excellent twist!
Makes you wonder what the hell did he go throught in life in order to chang that drastically. Nearly Hollowed Patches (aka, Lapp) is basically him before whatever happened in his life turned him into the cynical fox hyena that we know. :(
@@MrDibara Considering his eternal hate towards clerics, maybe that has something to do with it.
@@MrDibara at best patches hated the bitter lie that the gods told and probably knew about the first sin too
@@highfivemistertorque4537 You know, that makes perfect sense. Might also explain why he seems so familiar with the Ringed City once his memories are returned.
@@MrDibara he was jus hollow
If you think about it, Patches is a genius. He found the one way to never truly hollow. Every undead has a purpose, a fate, a duty. Once that task is complete, they have nothing. So instead, Patches decides that he can't lose what he doesn't have. He decides not to have a fate. He is humble, he doesn't care about the Flame, the Lords, or souls. Devoid of all earthly wants, he persists. He survives. Until the end of all things.
Nirvana, but shitty
@@vocalvortexstudios2058 sometimes a shitty nirvana is enough for a man to persist
@@secretname2670 Namaste
The idea behind it was, unlike other undead who persisted by striving for a goal and went hollow after completing their goal, patches chose a to have a value/goal that would never truly end even if he attained it. His goal was like a form of faith in a ironic twist.
He persists until I impale him with my +5 raw greatsword , every time every game
''Oh god its this guy again, now I have to let him kick me so he can feel better about himself or I'll lose his merchandise forever''
Never heard the situation described better
So did I. And i got his ashes, so I actually can buy those goods from handmaid.
@@diablo450 Huh! Didn't know you could do that.
his shitty merchandise is not worth the pleasure of killing him
I've always killed him the very first encounter, annoying dickhead.
Patches punishing greed totally clicked with me. It also makes sense why Miyazaki sees himself in Patches. Miyazaki created a game that punishes wreckless greed. Simply beautiful.
What if I'm a masochist and I want to be punished? Is it still punishing or rewarding me?
bogustoast22 none its a punishment that will make you go mad.
Dakrusher with rewards.
If you're a masochist and want to be punished, then the punishment isn't a punishment which would leave you wanting and in itself is a form of punishment.
You're twisting my brain right now.
in my game, i summoned Patches for the fight against the Spear, and the final blow was delivered by Patches via backstab, a fitting ending to Patches's story
Praise the patch \[T]/
But is it really the end to his story...?
@@NavidIsANoob no he is in elden ring
@@rileypatton5033 I was trying to keep it subtle. 😑
Summoned Patches against Radahn, Immediately returns to his world. What a duckin asshat but rightfully so
Interesting theory, but he kicks you down to a Skull Lantern in the first Dark Souls. If you don't have the Sunlight Maggot, the Skull Lantern is very important to seeing through the darkness of the Tomb of Giants. In Dark Souls 3, when he locks you in the tower, you can find a new way out of the tower where Irina will be if you make her a Firekeeper (and you can find the Firekeeper set in there). Or he's there to help you backstab the Swordmaster if you haven't killed him yet (and I forgot if there's an item at the bottom aside from the Firekeeper Set). The Lapp questline basically shows Patches in his purest form. A man of selflessness, wanting to help you while on his own journey to find himself, only now he isn't masking his intent behind greedy and traitorous deeds. We even see Lapp doubt your information for a split second before saying that you are a true friend of his. Maybe Patches puts on a front simply because he has been betrayed in the past, and he would rather make it very difficult for someone to grow close to him-someone that's not a thief stealing for those in need like Greirat-and make their attempts to try and kill him make it sting less for him? Perhaps he's been helping you in his own special way from the start? Food for thought. He's still an asshole though.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Perfect delivery on that last line. 👌 Also, wow! That theory is also very interesting. Food for thought indeed. *Except if you end up presenting yourself as a Cleric.* Then Patches goes out of his way to MURDER you. _(jeez! what happened in that guy's life?)_ But the idea of Patched being an asshole, but an unwilling helper who doesn't want to admit it also sounds very interesting. Because he never really gets rich from all the looting he's doing. And he never really earns that much by tricking all these people. HELL, he even went out of his way to try and help Grairat! I think that is when you can see his mask first fall off effectively. Patches clearly shows a tone of concern for Grairat, but immediately after tries to cover himself with a snarky comment, _seemingly_ mocking the great thief. Guess he's grown fond of Grairat more then he has anyone else. I for one still think he's hoping to get us killed to punish us for our "greed", but if he's secretly testing us and seeing if we can find the clues he's left behind, well that would add yet another layer of complexity to this beautiful bastard. 😆
Its like a puzzle or game you figure it out and you get rewarded, remember nothing is free in dark souls
Bakugou is an asshole but everyone loves him. Why not patches?
I was thinking the same thing by replaying dark souls 1 now.. Crazy
@@dingdawng never once have I scowled at that wheezing laugh. In fact, I always loved Patches.

*Miyazaki See's this video* "Uhh..yeah that is exactly what I was going for."
Aha I am surprised someone uh... Finally figured this one out!
@Danny BRITZMAN yep, and that's the beauty of it. Some fans tho don't understand and defends the game was meant to be interpreted in a certain way
Not really, sure art allows freedom of interpretation , to say that an artist's own interpretation or intention means nothing is just wrong. An artist expresses himself through his work and wishes for his vision or feelings to reach as many people. How then his feelings are interpreted by those who view his work is largely upon them but still to say just coz he offered his work to others devoid him of his own is absolutely sad.
@Danny BRITZMAN If you ignore the author's wishes and perspective you are a worse dickhead than Patches. Seriously, art is subjective but to ignore the original intent when it's given to you is to play pretend and turns it all into pointless drivel, since nothing has value and every perspective is pointless as a form of interpretation.
@Danny BRITZMAN Imagine the art was supposed to be about peace but the peoples interpret it as war, ignoring the creator wishes. So yea, regardless of how we interpret it, the orginal creator wish must always be respected.
Nice
“Try jumping”
Amazing chest ahead
The ones that lead you to a early death?

@Kuya Cardo isn't that nice?
Patches is just a personification of speed running. He's always ahead of you, knows all the tricks and of course never dies.
Patches is the impossible 6min Dark Souls II speedruner 🧐🍷
And then Patches started worshiping dark cosmic monstrosities which transported him to a parallel world where people become beasts through blood and turned him into a spider.
It happens.
+Redgrave192 That's why I HATE Lovecraftian entities just as much as I love them. You never trully gain anything by dealing with them.
Sorry? As a spider he can kick you ten times harder off ledges than he ever could as a human. There is much to gain from Lovecraftian entities...
+You're completely right but, *_Still not worth the "monkey's paw" deal, if you ask me._* T__T But you're not wrong. His kicks would definitely hit harder. Lol! XD
Redgrave192 or maybe he tricked it and it didn't like it so I carried him away
I also want to point out that greirat also gave you a ring (specifically the blue tearstone ring more on that in a bit) to give to a woman named Loretta, when he is given her bone he mourns her and says "she was already dead" he knew she was dying the blue tearstone ring states that it improves damage absorption when health is low, or to put it another way the ring makes you more resilient the closer to dead you are and this makes me think Loretta was sick or injured and so greirat climbs the wall to retrieve the ring as the red tearstone ring is also found within the castle, he wanted to get this ring to prolong the life of a seemingly unimportant woman in the undead settlement. This truly embodies his "martyr for the poor" title, he risked imprisonment, even saves patches in the process all to save one woman. I know this video is old and about patches but greirat of everyone is the best person who can show us patches does hate greed, he is friendly towards greirat because he steals to help others the absolute opposite of greed.
I know this comment is old, but apparently Greirat talks about his mother being dead if you kill him, so Loretta was probably his mom :(
@@michaelhenry3234 old comment or not, it's very possible that Loretta was his mother. However I always thought his mother died because they weren't wealthy enough to afford things they need. Which turned him to thieving
@@ralcogaming7674 Both scenarios could be true. Perhaps he was thieving for Loretta, his mom, and so after she died he had no motivation to go on, thus his suicidal trips into dangerous places.
@Michael Henry I agree with this however I don’t agree that Greirat was suicidal. I think he believed he was had little purpose other than thievery, and aiding his liberator, and so he takes his loyalty to the Ashen One very seriously. I mainly believe this because upon speaking to him after “Siegward” saves him, he doesn’t seem that disappointed or ashamed he was saved, he sounded shocked but grateful. In summary, I don’t think Greirat actively wanted to die, he was just very enthusiastic to help you, and really enjoys what he does.
@@justyouraverageblackstar3672 I definitely agree he probably wasn't suicidal. He keeps mentioning that he doesn't want to die like a petty rat, so he would rather take risks and keep a purpose than sit around the shrine and possibly hollow out.

Patches went from a seemingly generic character that appeared designed to only piss you off to being one of the most intriguing in the series.
nah, he exists for the sole purpose of kicking you down a hole
Yeah anybody who makes it to the end of the world deserves respect.
Patches is the Revolver Ocelot of Dark souls
not sure why the comparrion but it did made me quirk and snicker a bit

Patches is the Dark Souls of Dark Souls NPC, in that he punishes greedy moves.

I always liked the idea of patches being the furtive pygmy. Lapp made me like it even more. So patches found the dark soul, and with his kind personality he didnt want fame, he didnt want power. He was kind. So that made him furtive. He didnt stand out. He helped the gods win the war but they betrayed him. They betrayed his people. Then. His people betrayed him. He was alone. His selflessness got him naught but heartbreak. This is why he hates clerics. The spout the lies of the gods. They seek more power for the gods, themselves. Tell the tales of miracles filled with falsehoods. Charlatans. Then there are the humans. His descendants. Filled with greed. They fight and kill one another, all for the sake of power. It is better they be dead when they fail his test than live as fools who cant appreciate his brothers. Death to the lot of em. Then as the world ends, there is no one left to test, to punish. He then falls to the wretched curse beset upon him. The only way he could be the man he once was, is to forget. He is kind, caring. Only see the best in people. He meets you. And you help him. You are kind, and supportive. Then. He remembers. At the very end of the world, the first human and his last descendant. He states have a fine dark soul to you. The first holder of the dark soul gives his blessing to his last descendant. It just took the end of the world.
I'm pretty sure the furtive pygmy is manus father of the abyss from dark souls 1
@@Rotasiam I can agree but patches being a furtive pygmy also freaking cool you know
@@Rotasiam Can't remember exactly, but we know he is a pygmy, but he might not be the pygmy.

Or maybe patches its a shard of Manus, but the human shard that was lost in the Infinite dark of the abyss, maybe this was how Manus was when he was just a human and pygmin

That’s an awful fine suit of armor for someone with “no earthly wants”, wouldn’t you say?
Late reply but that set of armour is ten a penny in the dreg heap. He likely picked it up out of need for protection
@@Blackhawk211 Not to forget that Patches was nearing the Hollowing process, already with no memory of his past. By the time he recovers it, he discards the set for his usual Thief set, only keeping around the useful weapons to assist against the Spear of Filianore. (though I find it ironic how he ended up finding a Pursuer Greatshield of all things, making him a "hunter" so to speak)
@@MrDibara he’s using the curse ward shield because as Lapp he wanted to fight off the curse for as long as possible, but even so still succumbed to the curse.
The graveyard really shows how much the devs care for Patches, they designed that area around his quest line, simply for you to be kicked down and it actually helping you..
I believe that Patches has true faith in gods, and not the gods such as gwyn. In the ringed city he says "He will stick us in his prayers". He hates clerics due to the simple hypocrisy of their religion and how they crave power and "treasure" which was the reason the clerics where seeking the rite of kindleing in the first place
I imagine that Patches might love Velka as a god to pray to.
@@khajiitimanus7432 That would make sense. Velka is the goddess of sin and therefore, punishes those who commit sin. One such sin easily being *greed,* which Patches detests.
@@MrDibara Basically what my line of thought was. :p
Could be amygdala
The world of Dark Souls has a will. Perhaps that its whom he is loyal to. After all, the first true sins began when the "gods" rebelled against it's will Thus their greed is passed on to their followers. Most of the world follows the "gods" and their greed. So it really does make sense that he follows Velka or the world I also strongly believe Velka had a Dark Soul. She valued truth more than her own will. And those who follow the dark in the serious always speak of truth and peace. Even the fire keeper, after gaining eyes and accepting darkness, begins saying that she hopes you find peace Vs being guided by flame
The ending was so good and emotional and then the ad kinda killed it.
100% agree
Normally id disagree, as creators need to make their money..... But trying to do a Thoughty2 ad just isnt what can work with these types of videos... You dont just transition from talking about some piece of lore, to then be talking about an ad... End the video THEN do the ad, or do the ad at the beginning, nobody can pull off the transition as smoothly as Thoughty2 though lmao.
But it's public with vatti and it's awsome
Mwehh, it is right at the end of the video though, can't blame Vaati for using a good bridge :P
Yeah the ads should have been at the beginning. I was crying and then I just had to roll my eyes and close it
It’s worth noting that Patches disappears for a bit after telling him Greirat went to Lothric. Patches STILL tries to save Greirat even after his debt is repaid, he truly cares for him and Greirat only dies because Lothric is such a deathtrap
4:06 so that's what happened lol.. He just forgot to use Estus before jump
Interesting to note. If you go back where you first meet "Lapp" after finishing his quest, you find a Seigbrau.

The fact that you are cosplaying Creighton is a very good touch.
always felt Lapp/Patches was the embodiment of the From Software team and Miyazaki during the Ringed City was them to help the player character one last time and a final goodbye to the people who had thoroughly enjoyed the journey of the soulsborne series.
Only Vaati can make me respect Patches.
Kek
Patches is a troll so dedicated to his craft that he avoided going mad over the course of likely thousands of years. It's hard not to respect him in some fashion.

And now he's Patches the Untethered... maybe he even survived the end of the world?
Fun thing I thought of just yesterday while watching a Mitch L video: Patches is from Carim. He's got the same pale skin and sharp features adorning the faces of both Lautrec and Oswald. And of all the places we hear about in lore, the one with the shadiest clerics always seems to be Carim. Where else might one gain such a deep-seated loathing of clerics but the land where they are regularly tied to ritual sacrifice in the crafting of bite rings and such?
Is he perhaps all afther loyd ?
That Miyazaki chat was hilarious
334th like,sorry...
Good lord that ending advertisement was jarring as hell...
reminded me of patches
After such an engaging narration too Was kinda like being cut off in the middle of jerking off, shit makes me depressed for 7 years.
If he did it at the beginning it would have been completely fine.
He has been overcome by want and greed for thus is the hollow's condition...
I think it was oddly fitting for a Patches vid XD
I love how in the FromSoft Soulsborne universes, each different and the same in various degrees of sadness and death, there are, and always will be, two universal constants: - A greatsword, shining like resplendent moonlight, a weapon that’s wielded by only the strongest, most capable, most devout warriors. - A bald guy who will kick you off a cliff into monsters and poison and later say “It’s just a prank, bro.”
I think Patches represents the player better than anyone: obsessed with loot, doesn't take things too seriously and unable to resist the urge to push someone off a cliff when their back is turned.
Patches's theme song: Stayin' Alive
When the Man Comes Around
The Man who laughs
Alucard Altair Its really "Still Alive"
Headshot Hunter pretty sure you are talking about a different song... Edit: I meant "Stayin' Alive"
Perhaps. And take this with a pinch of salt. The description of the Mimic head tells us that mimics are people from a far away, forgotten land, where the crime of greed is punished by the convicted being cursed and transformed into a mimic. So that they may seek repentance by punishing others for their greed. What if Patches, comes from this forgotten land and embraces it culture and standards against greed. It would explain his obvious distaste towards greed.
Sadly we may never know anything about Patches, seeing as this is the final game in the series, and Dark Souls 3 following its predecessors and leaving much to interpretations, with a plot that was never meant to be fully understood.
MrSayWhat fromsoft is rolling in the dough. Theyve used "patches" in almost all their games (even armored core) so maybe their next game will feature more of patches. Albeit not concluding or describing his souls story but...more patches \[T]/
Sassy Hercules One can hope.
shit man your onto something
I think patches is supposed to be myisaki
This made me fall in love with Patches as a character because this confirms just how, ironically, humble Patches is: he never had "grand goal" in life, never wanted to light the flame or some such, he just lived. Sure, his life was hard, but it was a life worth living and he lived it the best he could - that is why he never went hollow, because, ironically enough, Patches might've been the most "human" character in the entire series.
The Ringed City turned Patches from a fun side character to one of my favorites in Dark Souls
i'm not mad you advertised in this video in principle. I'm mad because you just destroyed your momentum of your ending line with that plug....
Chico Papass yeaaah he should have put it at the beginning of the video in my opinion
It was really jarring. Just 3 or 4 more seconds before starting. Fade out to music...
I see it as an reference to patches ;) #Greed :D
"but the one thing you may have in common, is that neither of you ever looked back. Speaking of not switching back-"
I don't care what people say about The Ringed City. The Lapp questline and Gael boss fight are my favourite thnigs in the whole series, which I will remember fondly through all my life.
Martin Papos That's cuz your a filthy casual
You say that like people say bad stuff about about the ringed city.
It makes the end of the game feel rightfully epic man, ive seen people moan gael wasnt in the game till the first dlc and then he is the final boss of the series, but apart from facing the soul of cinder, what else was there for us to do? Steal that fire people. Usurp the fire, slay the lords and squat like a slav
I think that Dark Souls 3 and the Ringed City are turly worthy of the words "Acta Est Fabula".
It seem's to be the highlight of the game from where I'm standing. I currently am just waiting for the shadows die twice thing to release so I can get Souls III on sale.

Patches is the furtive Pygmy (kappa).
He's also in the future of Armored Core.
"I'm unbreakable, UNBREAKABLE!"
The montage with all the characters from all the games is so good just to be a lead up to an ad
I have a theory, maybe even a ridiculous one, that all along, patches was in some way a in game portrayal of miyazaki himself. Patches, who was always with us, making us angry at times, but also helping us. Just like miyazaki of course, you might curse his name at times for the difficulty of the game. But in the end, it wouldn't be the same without the difficulty. Patches from demon souls, to the very end of the world of dark souls he was with us. Even in dark souls 2, the most different of the souls games, where miyazaki was not very prevalent in the making of the game, he was still in the game, as pate. As patches kicks us one (possibly) last time into the fray in the last dlc, so has miyazaki. I really hope any one stumbles upon this, to think maybe I'm on to something.
Adam Gazda actually Miyazaki himself has stated he connects with patches character
That made me feel warm after all these years of being with this series.
That, that actually is a very good head cannon
And we are alone in Bloodborne, he's the only familiar face that we have
I was liking everything you were saying, except... Meh, I don't really put Pate on the same level of Patches. Pate just feels like a sleaze-ball, just like his rival Creighton. Meanwhile, Patches does drop hints here and there of there being more then he lets on besides his "evil trickery". I like to consider Pate a seperate character, and one I wouldn't hesitate to get killed. _(same with Creighton)_
*_TARKUS! TARKUS! TARKUS!_*
Is that a motherfuckin jojo reference
wondering how many will get this reference :D
*TARKUS LIVES IN DEATH*
NodMan just lay back *tarkus man modes the iron golem off the platform*
NodMan Iron golem get's shot off the edge by demon dick
Patches, the Dark Souls version of a tsundere.
Listening to this video made me remember what I love about Soulsborne. This dark atmosphere that is littered with characters, yet every single one that speaks has a purpose and a personality. Patches is the least likely to have a compelling story, but I fucking love it.
holy shit that ending was so well written, made me feel so nostalgic and emotional :3
THExWASP the original comic made me feel nostalgic as well
DJJ 2000 what comic?
The panels towards the end, vaati links his tumblr, it's literally right there in the bottom left
i know! skype! does it still exists?
THExWASP an advertisement? Interesting taste 🤔
Did you just use a part of "we are the souls" of ThePruld to talk about solaire?
And Kirk, giving humanity to the Fair Lady.
Mat69Games the pruld are fellow vaati fan boys im sure he asked first
Yeah, the Pruld are super into Vaati, I'm sure it was all above board
You should see their video of em reacting to VAATI commenting on a video of them
“Two blind men waited at the end of an era, contemplating beauty. They sat atop the world’s highest cliff overlooking the land, and seeing nothing.” - Brandon Sanderson
A discord ad. This is crazy. I can't believe there was a time without it
Who would have thought that Patches, a character who lies, kills, and even becomes a spider, would be a very philosophical character. If you told me that a few years ago, I would have smacked you across the face 100 times and demanded that you stop making shit up.. Thanks Vaati for another great video.
John Kiezulas Damn, this feels like a 100 likes ago
Just tell lapp he's Solaire and his purpose is jolly coopetation and that if you stare at the sun you'll go blind so don't even think about it. You save his life and get Solaire back win win ;p
\o/ Praise H the / \ sun
Dark sauce?
Sorry to get your hope down but than he would just go Hollow and probably kill you just like the first game.
\[T]/ Praise H the / \ sun
That’s not saving his life, that’s brainwashing
patches made me cry when he's lappe some of the stuff he said just resonated in me
The way you do videos. The atmosphere, the voice. This video honestly caused patches to become one of my favorite npcs. I actually made a dnd npc inspired by him.
Vati it is time you must stitch all the dark souls lore together into 1 video. Every single thing from common fruit to Gael, from dark souls 1 characters and interactions to the existence off the first flame after the new dlc takes you to the new world. All of it as a final dedication to the souls series. From each bonfire names to the rivalries between different now in the series. That's and goodbye.
So you want him to patch all his videos together and release it as one video? This makes no sense. lol
ALL THE LORE!
Do it yourself you unsatisfied dweeb.
LA Gaming how's about you watch all of his dedicated works again in order to support his effort?
One video explaining literally everything would be like 30 hours long
The one episode where you do an advertisement is the same one you talk about the greed of men.
I dunno, maybe it’s just the way we are
He is luring people for patches
As ironic as that sounds. Views alone can't pay the bills you know.
LOL
btw those comic images with the music, video footage and your story fits so bloody well.
For some reason, hearing a man who forgot who he was, whose greatest wish in life is to find himself, say "I swear upon my birthname that I AM your friend." moves me to tears every time I hear it. Just the thought of him swearing on the one thing he truly wants in life and he swears that he is your friend. No matter what he does afterwards, this moment rings true, pure and unsullied.
This really does feel like an epilogue to the entirety of Prepare to Cry. We never looked back. Superlative work, Vaati.
I Cried at 6:35 Gooddammit lapp why you have to be so great compared to patches
because Patches is great, he just doesn't show it.
Shado White that was patches. Who he was before he was forced into being the heyna, the spider, the unbreakable. The undead curse is a curse indeed as it forced patches from being the selfless man he could have been into a man fighting for his own survival.
lapp is patches fucking respect him you f
Shado White 666 like! It’s the devil!!..... just kidding
Shado White but he is Patches, that’s the point.
I love Patches' Ringed city quest so much. Hes one of my favourite npc of the series and I just think the character development and finale that he got is beautiful.
Ah. He’s a good character I see. Well. When he pulled that onion bs on my first play through I killed him. Killed him quick and easy. Fucker had it coming.
Deadass killed him to when I seen him by the lever and got the onion suit
The greatest troll who ever lived
mechassault2012 it's just a prank bro. Then he adds your participation into his ledge trolling montage with spicy memes.
im holding back tears........................this video is so powerful
boy shut yo sensitive ass up
lol
I’d like to add that patches owes the fact that he remembers he was patches and he should have given us a real reward.
You get one of the best armor sets, and his help with the 2nd to last boss of the series.
Patches shits all over halflight probably one of the most useful summons in the game next to eygon
Patches is such a chad he made it from lordran to Lothric, then to the ringed city, to then slip into Ariendell just to worm his way into the new Painted world of Bloodborne
And elden ring
@@trollmastermike52845 i didnt really take eldenring into this equation, since the only way it fits is if the world in eldenring is the world of Dark Souls after you snuff out the fire in Ds3
@Ultra_axe781 for me, Demon Souls was the end of the story Dark Souls happened first.
Sorry for the wait D: There's actually another Prepare to Cry ready and waiting in the wings (currently available for patrons), but I had to delay it because my PtC artist disappeared off the face of the earth :( Luckily, this led to me finding UndeadChestnut, whose comic inspired this video. We're still working on the next thumbnail! Thanks for your patience and support my guys
Hey, Pal. Would be kind if you could share the name of the last song playing. Thanks in advance.
A true hero, a caring friend, and a man we should all aspire to be.
So you're saying I should aspire to start kicking people into holes for being gullible? That actually sounds fun!!
Shea Bread for being greedy
Sassy Hercules Okay, but that still gives me permission to kick people down holes though, right?
Of course mate, just dont get...greedy.
Ser Ravinger Bare What are you gonna do? Sparkle at me? Torture me with horribly written dialogue? Sure as shit can't out axe me.
patches, the most heartbreaking character of the souls series... and hes the one who keeps kicking you down holes
Best prepare to cry yet! Keep on making these videos! You're the reason why I kept playing dark souls, and why it is now my favorite video game series of all time.
I will always hate Patches, but I must admit the strength of his character.
Always? Do you still hate him 2 years later?
fawaz aljohany you know it baby
@@greentop1239 ahhh a man true to his word
Fr, Patches is the real antagonist of Dark Souls
@@greentop1239 "Green Top the unbreakable"
Hell, Patches even makes it to the end of the modern world (Armored Core: for Answer).
Care to explain?
Patch the Good Luck is supposedly Patches in Armored Core.
Somehow this goddamn game I keep hearing about is linked to everything
My favourite Vaati video by far, every time I watch it I get chills
I was hype to see him in elden ring. Idk how tf he got there but he did
but why does he steal siegwards armor? all siegward wants is to defeat yhorm to fullfill his promise to his old friend. seems selfless for me, yet patches still robs him and throws him down a well
Its selfish. All thing are selfish. Siegward do that for himself. For his honor , for his sanity , to honor his memory. He do that for feeling good , being in peace with himself. Is not bad , is quite noble in fact. But in the end its a selfish act even if you hide it to your self.
because this theory is nonsense. Patches brags about looting your corpse in DS1 he is completely a greedy thief with only one soft spot for a fellow theif.
He kicked you down because you are greedy about the treasure, he sure hate cleric for good reason, greed
Upon replaying it, He also brags about looting your corpse and selling what he finds in DS 3 when he locks you in the tower. Patches is motivated by greed, not punishing greed.
He become evil to punish evil, but he is not greedy as you think
"it's not like he's new to this game" yea greirat has been playing dark souls for a while 😂😂
Unbreakable, Untethered.
To this day, I can't watch this without tearing up at the end. Thank you, Vaati
