The Legend of Havel the Rock | Dark Souls Lore

Welcome to another episode of Dark Souls Lore featuring Havel's journey in Lordran. From fighting the Ancient Dragons, to being a Bishop of the Way of White on behalf of Gwyn, to his role in the plot against the Gods, Havel's lore is one of the most interesting in the game.
In this episode we aim to present more of a storyline narrative, because to make an epic Havel only video can't stick purely to item descriptions! If you want to delve into the details behind many of the ideas presented here be sure to check out our other videos that cover his lore here:

Hawkshaw.

Hey everyone! We hope you like this different style. We know we have done Havel in a literal, analytical way before, so this time we have made it a story of legend! Some parts are what we think is most likely to have happened, but our imagination had to be involved to make this the most entertaining possible! If you want to watch the detailed lore behind Havel's story, check out our videos on him here:

The Lore of the Rings in Dark Souls (including Havel's!):

He really is *poised* to make a name for himself.

[bjg]

First experience with Dark Souls, opened the door and started down. Saw message on the ground that said "Imminent Tears" and 5 seconds later Havel flattened me with one hit. Bro is such a bad ass, in all 3 games.

Havel's armour always intrigued me. It is so iconic while always feels so bizarre. Like something is wrong with it. Then I understand what was Infront of me all this time. The chains. His hands are chained, his shoulders are chained, his hips area chained. Even in later ages of DS2 and 3 this details always there. Then I remember a nifty item and its peculiar explanation in DS3; Prisoner's Chain : "A prisoner is one who has staked everything on a belief, a proclivity most apparent in the greatest of champions." What this item gives ? Well, 5 Vigor, 5 Endurance, 5 Vitality.

It's really funny to imagine Havel seeing Seath in public and just blatantly ignoring him while Seath is trying to say hi

[garfieldsfavoritelasagna]

Every dark souls 1 playthrough always ends up as a Havel cosplay for me somehow. I've tried doing dex and magic multiple times but the stone calls to me

Silver knight Ledo with his 60STR Hammer: "Havel? Oh yeah that guy! Cool dude, he seems pretty chill..."

[Jupiter___]

The ninja Havel clip was on-point when mentioning the fear he strikes in those who face him 😂

[mr.bojangles]

Just one man, a stone suit, and a giant tooth and shield; powered by hate. Legend.

[medievalpainting]

He really is the definition of THE *WALL*

[DeagleXY]

On my first playthrough, whenever I collected something from Havel, I put it on! I just loved the idea of being a man, knowing everyone around you is using their faith and intelligence to come up with new kinds of attacks. But you? You push through, a simple method put through perfection making you one of the biggest assets of an enourmous army. Thank you for the video Hawkshaw !! <3

My favorite Dark Souls character!
Havel the GOAT

[lombonater]

“Wake up babe, a new Hawkshaw lore video just dropped”. The ATLA music is also very fitting.

[beniron]

As an avid DS1 pvper, there was few enemies that could “send a chill of fear down my spine” the back flipping Haval players were def one of those. I saw what you did there lol. Even if you were more skilled then they, it was such a chore to kill them. Hp, and poise for days.

[nottwo]

I really liked the theory that the armor, shield, ring, and club are only for Havel’s knights and Havel was a dragon. Seems like a real From thing to do.

[gryzwold]

There’s a lot of great lore channels out there but Hawkshaw really catches the vibe. Love it.

[dinguzzy]

I started play dark souls a few weeks ago and got interested in the lore and for the last few days I've been binging his videos. The timeline and then the video about Havel and the next day he drop a new one. Sick

[ChosenUndead]

Please never stop doing dark souls 1 videos, I love this game so much

[pascova]

Havel is my favorite souls character because of all your lore videos, the hour and a half Occult one in particular. Your content never fails to impress, and thank you for your contributions to the souls community!

[PboiStrider]

When I see Hawkshaw you have no idea how much joy I have
