Dark Souls 3 Lore ► Angel's Egg & Filianore

12 minutes of Filialore..please, Filianomore

Right before production on Angel's Egg, Mamoru Oshii is widely cited to have lost his faith in Christianity. Given all the religious symbolism in the movie, it's undoubtedly a movie about faith.

According to Absurdist philosophy, there is a fundamental disharmony between the individual's search for meaning, and the meaninglessness of the universe. Three solutions are offered for this problem -

First: A leap of faith. An unproveable belief in a reality beyond this world.

Second, suicide. Escaping a pointless existence.

Third, acceptance of an Absurd existence, and the freedom that comes with creating your own meaning.

In a way, the girl goes through all three of these phases. She believes that something is inside the egg. When it's crushed, she throws herself into a ravine. After throwing herself in, she undergoes a revival - with the girl herself becoming the object of her faith.

This is a great thread about Ludleth

What was in braille vaati? WHAT DOES IT SAY

"I may be small, but I will die a colossus, " is one of the most badass quotes in all of Dark Souls

[reedstreetteavee]

If light is related to time, is that why Untended Graves is completely dark? Frozen in the past as it were.

I miss you guys, currently in Japan so my relatively slow upload schedule became even slower. It's been good to get away though, I think I was feeling a bit burnt out the last few months. Japan is amazing! Keeping my eye out for Miyazaki...

A bit late to the lore party, but I think each of Gwyn's godly children are manifestations of his power as Lord of Sunlight. Gwyn is a Sun God and lightning is a manifestation of sunlight in the Dark Souls universe of which his first born, the Nameless King, is the heir. It also represents the destructive powers of the sun.

Gwynevere represents the positive aspects of sunlight as giver of bounty (the light that causes crops to grow). Even Gwyndolin, the Darksun, draws his power from Gwyn, for does not the moon get its light from the Sun itself? As for Filianore, she is time itself, for do we not measure time by the position of the sun?

I go away for 2 weeks and when I come back you're all meme gods what happened

[dragvindel]

I think it's very fascinating how magic in this world works. Miracles are directly influenced by your faith as you have said. Sorceries also they are boosted by your intelligence, by your ability to...imagine..create a power within yourself through thought. And of course pyromancy is raw emotion. the will to survive and prosper, as a flame does.

5:45 "look man, I get it. It's cool that you can repair your weapons on your own now, but could you please not rub it in my face? That used to be my only source of income, and now I have none."

[Aldourien]

"The answer is Faith.."
Goddamnit, I should've known the Miracle builds were the answer to everything.

The one thing that gets me at the the end of the Ringed City is the appearance of the world after you break the egg. It doesn’t look dark like the Untended Graves or like when you let the Fire fade away. Instead the world is barren. Grey wastes as far as the eye can see. To me it looks like the world isn’t going to an Age of the Dark but seems to be reverting to an Age of the Ancients type state, or something like it at least.

I like to think that Filianore has been told that the egg holds something really meaningful or its hatching marks something really important, which she is waiting to happen. We don't really know if the egg was really holding anything particular at all and she was being led to believe that to keep her faith strong and the spell from ending. What if Gwyn promised to come for her when the egg hatches making it like a clock for her of Gwyn's return. She is sleeping, not knowing that the egg and whatever was inside is far gone and so is Gwyn and all he promised. Her faith in everything she believed in along with her fathers return crumbles like the egg itself when she notices that there is nothing left or maybe even worse she has been lied to all along. No faith= no miracle to hold time from passing. Pretty sad if you ask me.

"I want to convince you..." Vaati... If you said Manis is Lord Gwen I would probably believe you

[KonniWynn]

Or *maybe* the "egg" is just a bowl of chips, and she's sleeping while you brake into her fancy, well guarded home. But before you can grab a hanfull chips and be on your way, she wakes up. She sees the intruder trying to steel her food, freaks out, accidentally forewards time, and you can't eat them chips anymore because their rotten. BAM

[brianpastore]

I interpreted the "shattering" of the hollow egg upon our arrival / touching it as more symbolic of her faith being "shattered" ... and thus her ability to halt time completely crumbled -- teleporting us forward to the end of the world.

[philbattiste]

If Ludleth was a Pygmy Lord, then it would make sense why he became a Lord of Cinder. Think about the power the First Flame would gain if a huge chunk of the Dark Soul was sacrificed to it. Hawkwood also stated that some Lords were chosen "not for virtue, but for might".

[lustrouslamb]

So waking up Fillianore fast forwards time to how everything should be. Which means the fact that the paired greatsword Ringed Knight is still alive and kicking at the end of the world speaks volumes of his strength.

02:39 "..the girl is comforted by her faith."

"No matter how tender, how exquisite... A lie will remain a lie."

[sethwalton]

I am obsessed with this channel, keep up the good work, and fulfilling my dark souls obsession

[claudioalmeidabezerrajunio]

VaatiVidya!! Since you are in Japan, please, kidnap miyazaki and make him explain the whole story of the trilogy <3

[Hawkeye]

i feel like the story behind this video game series is so much more than just a 'story behind a video game series'. its told with so much attention to detail, and so much detail within the little tiny details. so much emotion, its more of a masterpiece than just a storyline in some video game series. i love it, and at the same time wanna know why there is so much more depth to these games than any others out there.
