Welcome to Hawkshaw, a channel for going in depth into Dark Souls lore. Focusing on Dark Souls 1 & Elden Ring, we will be drawing from varied sources ranging from in game, interviews, other pieces of art, and even mythology.

A Big THANK YOU!!

I am extremely honoured, and humbled, to share that the channel has just reached 200,000 subscribers. What an incredible milestone.

It's difficult to put into words how much that means. It's been a long journey, and one that I never would have thought would reach 200k.

Thank you for your support, truly. Seeing your comments, your interpretations, and how our videos have helped you to enjoy FromSoft games, and beyond, is a real honour.

And there's lots in store before the year is out! I'm wrapping up the script for the fourth New Londo episode soon (the third is on its way!), a new episode diving into the Lore of Lordran is close to completion, and I can't wait to share a big passion project that's been in the works for some time now, more on that soon!

Praise the Lore! And, if you celebrate, Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share that I will be streaming live in an official Nightreign Tournament hosted by Red Bull this evening!

From 6-10pm BST today, teams will be tasked to see how far they can get into the game, with some prizes available to the winning team! I only started playing yesterday, so we'll see how it goes!

The stream will be live on YouTube, so hope to see you there later today.

Lore of Godfrey incoming!
This feature-length video has been a lot of work, so thank you to everyone who joined the premiere!
You can find the video here if you want to watch it: https://youtu.be/ggYfkrkOAUc

I also wanted to shoutout this amazing painting by Dan Creary, which was made for the video. I think it captures the brutality and energy of a fight between Hoarah Loux and Serosh wonderfully.

Hope you're all having a good week!

Elden Ring A24 movie Announced!

Bandai Namco have just confirmed that they and A24 are teaming up with writer and director Alex Garland to make a live-action Elden Ring film! Alex is clearly a big fan of the game, and says he's on NG+6 currently!

In other news for the channel, I hope you're enjoying the latest Dark Souls episode on the Rings of Gwyn's Four Knights! (https://youtu.be/PXuVXg1t7RY)

I am also close to finishing a massive project on a very important character in Elden Ring so stay tuned for that!
More Dark Souls in the works too.

Otherwise, very excited for Nightreign and make sure to let me know what you'd like covered when that comes out!

I hope you have a great weekend, and catch you soon!

Channel Update

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all having a great week, just wanted to check in with some updates.

I've got a number of projects planned and in the works currently. I've finished writing a script on one of my favourite characters in Elden Ring but I'm keen to do them justice with the video so it may be little time before release. I'm also hoping to return to Lordran for some Lore videos in the near future - got a number of ideas there so stay tuned for that!

In case you haven't seen, I've just released a new shorter video too which looks at some fun gameplay tricks that you may not know - let me know if you enjoy stuff like that between the longer releases. (You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/S58cuNYH01o)

Finally, I've also just released 3 new Lore Before Bed episodes for supporters of the channel that cover a variety of topics. Thank you to everyone who helps make this possible, and consider supporting the channel if you enjoy our work to get access these relaxed, ad-free videos among a number of other benefits. (Check out the sleepy playlist here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...)

I'm very excited to play the Nightreign CNT this weekend too (though I'm sadly not able to play every session). How are you all feeling about the game currently? Let me know if you would like me to cover the game in some manner, and what sort of content you'd be looking for since it's meant to be very lore light!

That's all for now!
See you in the next video,

Hawkshaw.

What are your favourite quotes from Elden Ring?

We are in the final stages designing a shirt that's inspired by the incredible lore of Elden Ring.
It features a magnificent tree, with themes surrounding snakes, the rise to Dragons and how humanity sits in the middle.

We thought it would be great to have a quote beneath the piece and wanted to hear your thoughts:
What's a quote you love that captures this theme?

It may end up on the final version!

Hope you're all having a great week, and see you in the next video.
