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!

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?

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!

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 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 Clip-Share videos to understand it.

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

Wow... this is the first one that have actually brought me to tears. Death is the companion that never truly leaves in my profession and I can't help but to empathize with Fia's ambition.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

This is truly a masterpiece

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.

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!

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

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.

Holy wow, that fight with D at the end was freaking epic.

C'était absolument incroyable 👌👌

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

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

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.

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

bro video quality is insane, the storytelling combined with the footage just make it perfect

This game is such a deep work of art. The fact that there's been this much room for attention to detail and depth of explanation. Still it's crazy to think that if this weren't for this channel it would be really hard for us to fully digest and appreciate that art. I hope they keep kicking ass with DLC and sequels, either way can't wait to see what FS does next.

2 minutes in and it’s already the best video i have seen in decades

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

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

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

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

I understand there were some liberties taken (rather, music added or tapered in)
But man Elden Ring truly has a stellar sound track.
Didn’t think this would be as good as The Frenzied Flame “movie” (maybe favorite so far)
But damn…fine work.
Vaati, it’s always a pleasure. Thank you m8, & those you ever collab with👍

Might as well start a whole movie studio already, delivering videos with this quality! Nothing short of amazing!

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.

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

That was insane, thank you 🥺💖

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

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!!!

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

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

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.

D and rogier’s friendship is amazing

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

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!!

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 😂

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.

End part NEEDS a kickass electric guitar solo after "the age of duskborn"

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

That was awesome The gameplay parts were so well done especially the last fight where he used all the prior boss moves was a good choice

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!

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 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"

Thank you so much for this. You guys are incredible

My god watching you fight D with all those spells and abilities, god I can just feel the burning desire of "YOU KILLED FIA! I WILL OBLIERATE YOU!!"

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

The production value of this video is absolutely exquisite

Prepare to cry never let's me down

jeez this production is so impressive. Well Done!

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

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

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.

This is the most beautiful piece of Elden Ring content I've seen yet, which is saying a great deal because of how much great stuff there is. This ending, and all the questlines that make it up, was what I did in my very first playthrough of Elden Ring, and it's always had a special place in my heart because of that. This is brilliant, and so very touching. Extraordinary work as always!

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

Yet again has our favourite aussie gone above and beyond. May good fortune be upon you and your collaborators.

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

This is a masterpiece!

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!

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.

My GOD that last fight’s cinematography was absolutely immaculate. This team is absolutely legendary.

Honestly Thanks for doing this.
Silly Weird I don’t have A Console just tablet. I won’t play Elden Ring but it’s the kind of art and storytelling I enjoy. I can still find inspiration and get ideas from videos like yours though. That compared to 90% shallow storytelling in media this days.. believe me the work you guys chose to do I Very Very much appreciated.. it was really worth your time and effort
I hope you continue and are blessed with meaning and support through your whole creative process

Your quality of video only gets better
Thanks for bringing us those

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

Wow that animation and the lore is amazing 🔥

This is definitely a deeply collaborative work, but I hope you feel the deep satisfaction of being the one who brings it all together.
These are beautiful... and it'd be lovely if the folks at FromSoftware could see and enjoy loving takes like these on their work.

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

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

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!👏🏽💯

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

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

this is legit better than any movie released in the past years

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

The quality of these videos is insane omfg I'm so glad we have Vaati here ,soulsborne wouldn't be the same without him

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

You're insane, I'm watching all of your prepare to cry videos and they are masterpiece

I can't put into words how insane it is that this series simply keeps getting better and better! While this ending is for sure incredibly interesting, although not my favorite, this series always manages to shed a light on a few details I missed while playing it, and especially to also present the grand narrative of it as a truly cinematic experience. For sure one of the best gaming related Clip-Share channels ever and the Souls community will always appreciate you! Thank you!!!!

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

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!

These are so amazing! I honestly can't believe that this production quality is made by a sole content creator on YT! You've done a great service to the Elden Ring lore community, & I just can't get enough of your videos! Thank you so much!
I would LOVE to see 1 of these movie length kore videos made on Ranni's ending with the Age of Stars next! 🙇‍♀️🙏🥰

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 😂

As someone who has watched your channel from the original prepare to cry to this, it is absolutely inspiring to see how much progress, love, and effort your videos continue to get while they evolve into the next beast of lore video. I truly think you are one of the best souls lore presenter on the internet man, and you are a constant inspiration to one day try and make videos once life slows down a little!

Really looking forward to something on the Greater Will and the Golden Order!

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