An Elden Ring Movie ► Age of the Duskborn

I couldn't have made this video alone - please support all of the collaborators listed in the description! Everyone brought their unique strengths to this episode, and I'm lucky to work with so many talented people!

Honestly I got respect for Darius. Bro was afflicted with basically Stage 6 cancer, AIDS, Arthritis, and Parkinson’s and after hearing what happened to his brother he hit us the the Vince Carter “ I GOT ONE MORE ME”

I hope the DLC explores the death stuff more in depth due to Miquella’s connection to Godwin

Damn that Fia's Mist kill on D was absolutely brutal.

I don’t think it gets talked about much, but the voice acting in the Souls games is really great. That “Die! Die! Die!” That Devin says could’ve been generic screaming but the VA turned into a much more menacing threat, like an executioner raising the axe. Really drives the fanaticism home

You have to be one of the most talented content creators on this platform. Your dedication to detail in your videos, your cinematic ability, and the wonderful choreography of the fight scenes was impeccable. Great stuff as always VaatiVidya, you and your team did great!

You and your collaborators have raised the bar by a significant margin. Feeling privileged to be a part of this community right now.

To tell the truth, though I know Ranni's ending will be the last ending explained, I would still love to see Goldmask's storyline and the Golden Order Fundamentalists rendered in Prepare to Cry.
Brother Corhyn's blind faith and Goldmask's struggle against a Golden Order that won't change until his death both come together to tell a tragic story.

BRO CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THIS MASTERPIECE I legitimately lost it when godskin apostle kicked in with the duel. Continue making art please.

I showed my 60 year old mother this video, who has never played a single game in her life, and even she said the visuals and storytelling of this video were fantastic. Hopefully she's open to watching more of your content in the future :)

The contempt with which the Tarnished destroys D after he kills Fia is both satisfying and terrifying

I love the lore and the stories in Elden ring. They are so good and are so intertwined with each other. I just wish I didn’t have to watch VNclip videos to understand it.

If we maintain this current trend of video lengths, Ranni's story is looking to be nearly an hour long! Strap in boys, it's gonna be a wild one.

Goodness malaketh’s voice actor. Need some more credit. Wow he’s really good.

that honestly make me think on how good of a being godwin must have been
dude has a homie so loyal he was fighting DEATH on a dream/alter dimension just to protect his friend

I forgot that Fortissax still fought on in Fia's dream, it's a small detail that i've forgotten since i haven't played in a couple of months
Really convinces me that the DLC will be in Miquella's dream, especially since i also believe it's related to Godwyn

25:15 I feel for Maliketh, it’s painful to be betrayed by someone you’re so loyal to….I’ve been there….

Godwyn's spear being an homage to the Dragonslayer Spear was a really nice touch. Good to see my favorite character living on, a decade after his first appearance.

Thanks for watching everyone. This video was a true passion project, and the amazing support we receive from you keeps us inspired to create better videos with each installment in the PTC series. All I will say is that Ranni's video will be absolutely legendary. Any guesses as to how long it will be?

Man I cant help but laugh at the "Wrath of D" line. Dude sounds so fucking nuts and I love it

38:56 The music is swelling, the story is captivating, Maliketh is gracefully dancing through the air like he has wings carrying him through the fight...
...
" _Ha_ , you bonked him with the flippy sword~"
Yep, that's Elden Ring!

The quality of this series is phenomenal. Great work guys!!

Holy hell, I'm actually speechless. The Prepare To Cry videos for Dark Souls 1 are a huge reason why I became such a big fan of these games. And now that you have a budget, the quality has just gone through the roof. Amazing work. I just got shivers down my spine, watching this on my laptop at the library.
Thank you for all that you do and made possible.

The detail of the player character using different weapons and spells related to death throughout their journey in the video is incredible. It's as if they're examining, studying, exploring the different forms of death, as a Death Philosopher.

as soon as I have coin to spare again, I will gladly support this endeavor! these - I don't wann say videos, I wanna say movies, are incredible! digestable for my friends and family to whom I could not properly explain why 'that strange game where you die all the time' makes me eyes so wet. thank you Vaati, thank you mispap, thank you John, Xavier, Aether & Chaos, Sebastian, Quelaag and SmoughTown. You have created a true masterpiece of a series! I hunger and thirst for many more to come!

Love the idea of this series being your interpretation of the way the story unfolds, and the reminder is much appreciated. The cinematic style of this series wows me every time.

The production quality in these videos is blowing my mind. I would love to see Vaati return to Dark Souls and Bloodborne eventually to give those games this treatment. Thanks for another great video!

C'était absolument incroyable 👌👌

It would be nice to have a perfect order ending video too! This one was very good 😭

One of the most beautifully written and performed stories of Elden Ring, and you just elevated it to the next level.

There’s so much talent in the world, it’s crazy I didn’t get a single drop. Truly a masterpiece… great work

This is truly a masterpiece

It seems no matter how high you and your partners raise the bar, you still find a way to raise it again. An absolutely captivating story, composed and told perfectly. The Fortissax battle in particular was jaw-dropping, I cannot believe that fight could be so choreographed.

I love the idea of changing armor set to royal remains, as if Fia’s hug turned you into one of those who live in death

I actually teared up at Rogier’s death scene here, he’s such a wise character and a big help with Margit. Leaning against his his hat in his final moments awake, heartbreaking.

This is some of the best work iv ever seen put into a lore video

The script, the visuals, the presentation, the audio, everything about these videos has pushed the quality of in-depth storytelling to new heights. Tremendous props to everyone who works on these. It's absolutely beautiful to watch and I am enraptured by these videos. I am beyond excited to see the Age of Stars ending video when it comes out! Love your videos as always Vaati

During my playthrough I found Fia's story the most compelling. The last few scenes with her were so emotive compared to most interactions in the game.

You've always been a bonfire for this community. Maybe even *the* Bonfire, and it's so fitting that your works now include so many more others that have a love for these twisted little worlds
and their tragic and heroic characters. Thanks for all the years Vaati and for stoking the flames of lore for both new and old members of the audience. Your recent uploads feel like a revitalization and it'll be great to see what you all do with the DLC.
Good shit.

Your videos are amazing! Keep up the good work 👏🏻

That Fortissax battle was incredibly well done. This entire video rules.

I hope VaatiVidya is hired to make all the cutscenes for the next Souls game.

Why does this not have MORE LIKES! THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I absolutely enjoyed this. I appreciate all the hard work and effort you and your team put in

Man that was truly fantastic. They are missing out not making a show or something in this world. Same with sekiro and the souls games.

23:56 to 26:08
This whole bit just made me feel a certain way
Absolutely awesome work here !!!!!!

This was awesome, really some next level stuff. The cinematography and artwork were top notch. By the way the artwork for the black blade inscription @ 17:08 is just…mwaa chefs kiss…perfect!! Keep up the good work vaati boy!!

Still get chills with the Malekith transformation and the music; it’s an incredible sequence. His move set is damn awesome as well.

Your videos have made me enjoy playing the game so much more than just blindly killing boss after boss. Keep up the great content!

That fight scene with D....had me in tears, he cared for his brother.

....this was incredible, a full on movie. The passion, work everything I loved everything about this.

Vaati you're an absolute genius. This was as compelling as any actual movie I've seen in years. Probably more so if I'm being honest.

It really is sad that Godwin had to have such a tragic story. I hope that we will have some form of closure on his behalf, or find him in the past before everything went wrong.

The cinematography in this video was truly stunning, huge props to Mispap1

What an absolutely incredible video! I sat and watched the entire thing from start to finish captivated by the countless hours of work and effort you and your peers put into this! Great job Vaati! What an amazing way to help others understand Elden Ring's story and get them invested in it! Props man!

this video is on another level. ive been watching your channel for years and i must say the production value of these novels you and the others create is staggering. the perfect mixing of in game dialog with your script mixes in a way where even though they speak in a sort of backwards old english thats hard to understand the way its put in your story almost translates it for us. even though the character is silent the script and the environmental storytelling you created almost gave them a verbal script. i could hear the character speak which is just brilliant script writing. the music in the background was muted in the story telling but always there ever present. Only to swell and demand attention during the fight scenes. exquisite. Now the fight scenes itself are a masterpiece. you guys took a game that is famous for its difficulty and created beautifully choreographed movie scenes with it. Camera angles where perfect. (radagon death scene with him falling over had me out of my chair) the choreographing was impeccable, the scene sticking out most in my head was the ending fight with D setting it up as the protagonist on the back foot at the beginning, taking a swing as a spell is being cast making the viewer believe "oh! hes got the timing he'll interrupt the spell and gain ground in the fight!" only to have the spell go off first knocking our champion back. This creates perfect tension in the fight even for those who have played through this storyline on their own. Even though this is what i would describe as a documentary on Elden Rings story you guys turned it into a full blown movie and for me personally. This movie gets a 10/10. Simply amazing. Well done!

I like how Ranni just casually says "I stole death long ago" Welp, that mystery is solved. Now wait for Rogier to confirm it.

The editing of this video is extremely professional. Absolutely amazing.

This is pure art. Thank you Vaati and all involved for bringing this to us.

the part where Rogier describes his friendship with D really gets me, especially when he says "But our paths since diverged. Never again to cross. Though that's hardly an uncommon fate for two friends".

D’s AI being literally dogshit for the fight against the twin gargoyles has trained me to pray for his downfall everytime I see him 😂

absolutely phenomenal storytelling as always, love the takes on the lore, love the showcase of all the weapons and summons, this was my first ending and i was very disapointed in that a handful of them just got pallet swapped endings but i very much enjoyed this take on it.

vaati you have made great videos in the past, but this one is definitely among the best. Congrats to all the artists that helped in the making of the video, you guys smashed!!

The production value of this video is absolutely exquisite

This video reminded me of everything I love about Vaatividya lore videos, from the first dark souls till elden ring and everything in between. Brilliant work.

The animation in this video is absolutely incredible!! Thank you Vaati for supporting 2D animation and the artist behind it!!

I'd pay serious money to watch his stuff what a legend Vaati and fellow collaborates!!

Pretty much everyone has already said it, but I'm saying it again: it's a REALLY good video! Congrats to all the team behind it. I loved the animations made to the story points beyond those covered visually by the game. Can't wait for the next lore videos!
And those made from the dlc we'll get!

These are so incredible. Thank you for doing it.
as someone who loves lore, but is terrible at the game its really the only way I can experience this masterpiece of storytelling and ya'll nail it perfectly.

D and rogier’s friendship is amazing

32:16 The melody in the background and her words are so melancholic and deep, yet beckon for sympathy and empathy...Beautiful!!! Then you fight Godwyn's friend Fortissax....What an epoch!!!

Amazing work, really high quality and perfectly executes and summarizes the vague storytelling of Elden Ring

Great video, i never expected Fia to hold such significance and that her questline would give a whole new ending. Although it would've been better if you had mentioned something about the dusk/ gloam-eyed-queen; who originally wielded the power of destined death. So i hoped that she'd have some sort of significance in this ending or its outcome. I myself am quite confused about the subject and would appreciate if you made a video about your take on the topic.

I love the part where you defeat Radagon, and then the Elden Worm doesn't show up. Great stuff

This is so cool. Your channel makes this great game's stories accessible to those that can't play the game

This was seriously great work 😳
These videos are like comfort food..

It’s insane how high quality these videos are becoming. Kudos to EVERYONE involved in this process. This stuff is better than most tv shows.

I love this series you got going on. Very informative and relaxing. I barely sleep at night, but just listening/watching these videos puts my mind at ease (like listening to rain at night in the fall). Can’t wait for more to come!👏🏽💯

What an amazing retelling of the duskborne ending. This really makes me want to make a necromancer.

Awesome! At this point this could be a standalone Movie with such visuals! Thanks for the Hard work!

Vati thanks for such great videos, love how you manage to understand the lore and point out some theories. 🖤🙏

Amazing video editing from you and collaborators was beautiful to watch, and commentary is great as always from you

That cannonball onto the Tibia Mariner was glorious.
Seriously though splendidly done, simply incredible.

I'm only in the first Start of the video and I want to say the animation is amazing and I hope I could see more of this for The entirety of for Elden ring and dark souls in this type of animation style. Thank you my friend

Im blown away bei the quality of your videos and especially this video. I couldnt help but smile the entire time.

Truly Impressive! Can't believe how far these videos have come! Can't wait for the next one!

wow, thank you so much for those videos, so rich and beautiful, poetic. I have never been so passionate about a game's lore, and I love that.

Thank you so much for this. You guys are incredible

It's very sad that both Lanseax and Fortissax lost the person they loved.

Dang the cinematic fights in this vid were absolutely stunning. Not saying the previous ones are in any way less then phenomenal. But this one is a step above the rest. amazing job.

Your content is next level stuff. I enjoy these lore videos a lot.

WOW...This was just so beautiful i was prepared to cry and cry i did, although more then i was prepared for. Love everything about all your lore videos it really bring the game out from just a one note moment to a full in depth cinematic experience and also brings so much feeling to it that I am clearly never really prepared for. Beautiful video really im amazed .

gotta say, i really love these types of cinematic story telling

Yet again, another absolutely awesome video. I learned so much of the lore just from you.
You didn't have to do my boy, Maliketh like that and parry him twice tho 😂

vaatividya takes the rich, grand lore of the game, and somehow manages to amplify it with his cinematography and narration. This video is sublime.

Please take this as a compliment, but your videos help me sleep! Your voice is so soothing, the storytelling is amazing, etc. Thank you so much!

This is AMAZING!
Credit to ALL involved.

OUTSTANDING as always .. And the next episode is the most waited one for me, cause I love Ranni and her story, and of course, your interpretations about her ..
I'm willing to it .. :D

Masterpiece! Have you talked to the Elden ring creators? With work like this I can imagine it would get there attention! You are awesome please keep making videos!

I love the different things the pc does like the laying his head on rogier, the blue flame at ranni’s true body, the hand on fia’s head it just make everything more cinematic

Fortissax, corrupted by the blight yet still hanging in there and fighting for his friend...ugh makes me cry so good.
