Have you seen those warriors from Carthus? They got Curved Swords. Curved. Swords.

I would love to see a desert environment in Dark Souls, sure you could say that we got that with the Ringed City dlc, but that wasn’t a proper desert in my mind, I don’t know but there’s something about the ruins and reminders of the glories of empires as old as time, hidden and jutting out from the dunes like lighthouses in the sea, that’s so powerful to me and very Dark Souls in my opinion from what I’ve seen.

*wheeeeeeeel*

Honestly thought it was going to be much more formidable. Really easy fight .

Just win you battles, that alone is the most important rule of the Ash- I mean the Carthus style.

So over time, the lands are being pushed closer together and are shoved on top of each other resulting in the dreg heap at the end of the age.

1:55 You know those warriors from Carthus? They have curved. peanuses. BIG curved paenuses.

Carthus reminds of the Mamluks, a powerful desert empire of Levant, Arabia and Egypt. A commonality is when Mamluks didn't adopt gun powder weapons as they thought using such deadly weapon s would be dishonorable just as Carthus didn't adopt magic to fight their enemies. Eventually they were defeated by the Ottoman empire which relied heavily on gun powder by that time.

Tryhard Wolnir

The warriors of carthus would have found themselves at home in the Ashina clan

Whats the fashion souls of that carthus warrior?

All good players drink Estus if they are about to lose. Otherwise they are just losing on purpose.

The empire collapsed the day Carthus rouge was nerfed

So old arabs....

Abyss Watchers: We brought our swamp. Wolnir: Wtf you can't park that here!

a line from my favorite mission, the culling of Carthus "glad you could make it, Carthus"

Game would live up to its lore if werent just and extremely unforgiving dodge roll, poke, dodge roll poke, dodge roll, poke, doge roll poke...

6:00 Spine carthus bey-blade

The lore of the abyss watchers and carthus reminds me of the league of shadows

Giant man eating worm from land of sand kingdoms, anybody getting ‘Dune’ vibes

Mentions kukri Happy Gurkha noises

Carthus would have made a great expansion setting. All these curved weapons and middle eastern armors but not one desert in all of Dark Souls.

I have to say the Carthus Catacombs were extremely disappointing. The whole area consisted of what, a couple of big open rooms and a bunch of hallways and staircases? It’s only due to the close proximity of Smouldering Lake/Izalith/Demon Ruins that it retains any semblance of intrigue at all. If those areas weren’t there it would amount to the second most inconsequential and disappointing area in the game, after the Profaned “Capital” (which should really be called the Profaned Edifice, since the ostensible “city” appears to consist of only a single solitary building).

I´m currently building a D&D campaign set on the world of Dark Souls Your videos are gold to me at the moment. Thanks

I think him pleading with the gods is better as it's so out of character it shows how deep and intense his fear of the abyss truly is.

My main goal, is to sentence countless souls to death, and then act like i dont know nobody

Ima just call them the Redguards of dark souls

Kind of dissapointing that Carthus was this great desert empire but all we get to see is the catacombs.

Vaati says a lot without really saying anything at all

So the warriors of carthus were badass tryhards

I saw that little solaire helmet. Cheeky

Wolnir seems to be a mix of Solomon & that whole Nietzsche master morality stuff.

Once it was called Tseldora and it also had a funny way of attracting and punishing greed.

So basically Carthus = scummy. Ha! Who knew :p

Yeah, in DS2 crowns had big importance, but they didn't become one. You literally had all the crowns you collected and could use any of them. Once you become the rightful monarch, all crowns have the effect of marking you as one - the King doors open for you and you don't hollow. It's actually more similar to what you do with the Lords of Cinders - you collect the blessings of the past kings to mark you as the next true monarch. You collect crowns of the dead kings as the symbol of their rule and you get an actual blessing from the one king you can talk to - Vendrick, even if its in a memory.

If true it makes you wonder just how terrifying the abyss watchers were at the height of their power. Here you have Wolnir and his warriors conquering kingdom after kingdom, pulling kings off their thrones and literally collecting their crowns. For all intents and purposes Carthus was THE power to beat in their day, no one could stop them. Then Wolnir starts dabbling with the abyss and it spreads throughout his kingdom attracting the attention of the Abyss Watchers who procede to just burn the whole empire to the ground, and carthus would have been a right and proper empire, it was no fleeting kingdom like the ones Wolnir crushed. That's terrifying. What little we know paints the Watchers as a force that everyone was scared of, and it's not just the Watchers themselves, we know they had followers (who turned into/became the gru) and auxiliaries (the farron followers in Ariandel). They must have been by a wide margin the dominant force of their age to be able to burn kingdoms and empires at a whim. Thank the fading flame that we only had to face a corrupted remnant of them or we would never have succeeded.

The sound design for this video is madness

4:14 Screw those guys. As soon as I defeated the Pontiff my bf told me to go offline before proceeding XD

I think high lord Wolnir got Nito's soul. Thats why he and his warriors ended up being skeletons

Gods do I want a desert stage in elden ring. Please from software, please.

This is the level that made me quit this game..

I have a theory on the ballista Basically I feel like the people from irithyll put it there. If you see there is a big hole that leads to irithyll by the ballista and there are also the giants which leads me ro beleive it was placed there to attack demons that tryied to climb out to irithyll. But Idk might just be rraching here

He called a kukri a small machete... qwq

I can't imagine NOT cheesing the Carthus sandworm, and I used a pure strengrh build.

i wonder how many new game pluses for Solaire mega-evolved into Sandworm

Carthus is like Arrakis from Dune. Sand worms and all

The kingdom of Carthus almost reminded me, by name alone, of the kingdom of Carthage: an ancient society native the the Tunisian area. They were truly war-like, with their most notable alumnus being the general Hannibal Barca. I wonder if there's a connection between the two.

The abyss watchers actually didn't actually know that Wolnir was meddling with the abyss. They'd just heard the legends that they drank estus when they were about to lose duels, a completely unforgivable behaviour.

Has anyone looked into the link between Cathus and Carthage, the real world empire that was eventually crushed by Rome?

a carthus warrior is one who yanks out his ethernet cable in the precipice of death

So you’re saying Wolnir was never a pleading, scared bitchy skeleton?

it was Sekiro who visited

I bet they do the point down emote too

I’m glad that one pyromancy buff is called carthus flame arc in ds3, compared to just naming it flame weapon in ds2

did y'all see that spinning ribcage.

You see those warriors from carthus? They've got curved swords... Curved. Swords.

>Sand kingdom >>SANDWORM >>> *SHAI HULUD!*

Cool thumbnail !

I Love how you edited solares helmet onto the Worm at 0:34 XD

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

It would have been cool if dark souls 3 had a shadow of the colossus like desert

Wolnir: Experiments with the abyss *Abyss Watchers Would Like to Know Your Location*

@Jacob Hoover actually,you are not wrong in that,i could believe some people are that stupid...

They literally buried the kingdom under their boss room.....

@Blas Felip Himmelreich You don't know it's a joke, he could just be stupid.

@Jacob Hoover is a joke,is not supposed to be accurate by the lore,u want som lore m8? Solaire is gwynevere

Not accurate by lore but still left a like

0:33 🤣

I like how there is solaire in the beginning

the portugese legends is very good

the sand kingdom was not destroyed, it was moved by the strange temporal processes of Lordran

Hi, newish to your channel. I was wandering around the Cathedral of the Deep on my NG+3 and took notice to something that I cannot think of any real lore for. What is with the Cat engravings everywhere? Is it related to Shalquoir or Alvina?

That Volnir sounds pretty same as Nagash from Warhammer

Wolnir of the Weed Kingdom conquered the kingdoms of Pot, Bong, and many others, and after fusing their crowns together to make his own, and making their kingdoms his, he truly became the One High Lord

How did the way of white have bracelets and a Greatsword that were big enough for someone who seemed to be a giant.

0:33 you can see solairs helm even though he doesnt belong

*S A N D*

NOOOO SOLAIRE

What if Wolnir is the bearer of the curse? Emboldened by the seeming immunity to the curse granted by the crowns pillaged and Vendrick's words he reaches out to the dark. In his search for true release from the shackles of fate he uncovered the abyss and a means to stave it off, not unlike his own curse. Until some jackoff with a reinforced darksword sent him on his way there anyway. As for his size, he could just be huge for the same reason that Vendrick is huge. Or maybe this is just a half baked theory that I haven't bothered to think about properly.

Fucking gankers

Just thought of this, HOW LARGE WOULD THE CARTHUS CASTLE HAVE TO BE?! cus wolnir is HUGE! Hes MASSIVE! So this castle would have to be, like the size of the entire kingdom of lothric

you see those warriors from Carthus? They've got curved swords. CURVED SWORDS

You just copied somebody else's comment word for word

The carthud warriors were feared for there spooky scary skeleton s

Pause at 6:19 can I get that as wallpaper somewhere?

Carthus warriors were ashina before we even knew about sekiro.

All honesty i think that the worm was inspired by the mongolian sand worm cryptid.

Do you go to the catacombs oft- Oh what am i saying of course you don't.

Tbh I didn’t even know wolnir had a great sword. I killed him too fast.

6:33 sounds like we need a blackprior over here

Darksouls muslims

I wish you could eat the mushrooms in the Carthus caves.

omg That feckin Solaire helmet had me in stitches!

Had me rolling with the iron helm 😂

I have an opinion. What if the abyss tries to consume the empire of carthus then wolnir pillage a divine sword then used to stop the abyss but failed and the abyss makes the sand into swamp then abyss watchers came to stop it.

Instead of getting a cool unique sand area, We got poison swamp #351 Disappointing

Im in between a Mirra and carthus guy

no Solaire! Run!

0:30 .....you sly dog you.....

0:63 I know this isn't his character, but it would be way cooler to imagine how this absolute overlord gets broken, that he now pleads to the God's for the first time

Why did you put solair In the worm

did you notice wolnir's holy swords hilt it is the same sword hilt from lord gwyn's sword in ds1. maybe the dark ate away at gwyn's sword untill wolnir found it when he fell to the abyss

But does Carthus warriors have curved penises?

*listens to Vaati describe a Carthus PVP'er* So basically 99% of Souls PVP? I like honorable duels but sometimes you've gotta fight dirty, because what honor is there in death and scoured bones?

Ofc everyone from carthus were try hards. It's like their spirit lives on in the people who use their weapons

You can get the arrows that try to hit you in the smoldering lake to kill the worm
