The Hidden Secrets of Dark Souls - The Creation Myth

The creation myth for Dark Souls 1 borrows from many real-world traditions. By understanding what those traditions are, it informs our understanding of how the world of Dark Souls functions. In this video, I will present somethings that I believe are definitive inspirations for Dark Souls, as well as some speculations. The FromSoftware games are an interweaving and reinterpretation of all the great religions of the world. I think if we understand what religions/myths/stories influenced which characters, locations, and stories... we can unlock the hidden secrets of the Dark Souls universe. Here's my first offering.
