Welcome to deep dive into the murderous Kirk! Is he a dark wraith? A demon lover? Or is he, like many Dark Souls characters, a more subtle character than we thought? Hope you enjoy this thorny episode, featuring the Fair Lady, Quelaag, Quelaana, Darkwraiths, Kaathe, and a lot of rolling!

Poor Rosaria. She'll never beat the half grub allegations even with her legs and feet right there to be seen
Doesnt help your using leather armor and a bandit knife to kill a horde of enemies.
I thought it said kink not kirk, still and amazing video 🤣🤣🤣
“We have no choice but to show mercy” yeah i showed mercy. I stopped her suffering.
Lautrec's armor was the pain for me. I couldn't beat him and his thugs when I first played and used the orb. So in other playthroughs, I kicked him so I could get the fap rings. Never knowing that you had to end him in Anor Londo and then find it above the O&S room.
So Kirk is chaotic neutral bordering on chaotic good in his beliefs, balanced out by being an asshole in personality.
I see something I can get behind, cause wise, but I'm a dick so I'm gonna do it My way lul.
the spiderussy power is stong with kurk
Hey guys, here is some trivia I've noticed.
1. Kirk, Knight of Thorns, and Shadow the Hedgehog both are spiky.
2. Kirk and Shadow both deeply cared for terminally ill women.
3. Both are edgelords.
4. Both started bad, but turned good by the power of love.
5. Throughout 2010s the English voice actor for Shadow had been… Kirk Thornton!
Coincidence?
this video finna got me prayin' to zeus at the temple fr fr
As a monsterwomen enjoyer I respect his grind.
So you're telling me that Kirk is a Jojo reference?
Rosaria is not half insect. 😂
Rosaria is not half insect. 😂
Kirk kinda reminds me of saverok the antagonist of the first baldurs gate. Its the shoulder pad
He’s in love with an insect woman.
Ds1: Kirk
Ds3: Kirk give you a middl3 finger
I’m subscribed to receive all notifications but I feel like the last half dozen videos I haven’t been notified of, and just randomly found in my feed. Anyone have any ideas as to why?
Imo his appearence in DS3 ruined the character, from an antihero devoted to a single maiden and ready to die for her to a simp who just changed mistress when the previous one died alone, comforted only by Quelana
How come Kirk shows up in Dark Souls 3 if we kill him for good in Dark Souls 1?
Miyazaki often talked about loving the Fighting Fantasy Gamebook series. If you take a look at the illustrations of Trial of Champions, one of the classical gamebooks of the series, you will find a Chaos Champion who looks fairly familiar.
The biggest surprise from this video is how old JoJo's is.
i thought my first npc invader was a pvp invader. i ran away lmao
Funny thing is, I always attributed the "Longfinger" to his job of "stealing" things (tongues/humanity/etc). In German a Langfinger (= long finger) is a very old expression for a thief, "lange Finger haben / machen" (= have / make long fingers) means to steal.
I doubt that this played a part in his naming but that's how I saw it 😅
Anyone who calls kirk a simp always laurtrec is a thing in DS.
Always loved him for his loyalty to Fair Lady and Rosaria
I've still never encountered Kirk
Is that fucking age of mythology intro music?!
Dark Wraith Kirk, the darkest white knight.
That thumbnail kinda hurts to look, considering Kirk's thorny armor. Imagine giving a hug to a bloodied iron cactus.
I dont remember ever having trouble with this guy. Infact i never knew there was a guy named kirk in any souls game… and ive played them all.
Queelana being sick because she lacks cutthroat selfishness T_T
Just wanna appreciate the use of Age of Mythology soundtrack. Miss that game
longfinger is also the word for word translation of the german term "langfinger" which is someone who is a known thief
Ladies, Gents, sit the fuck down. A new 30 minute Kirk Lore video just dropped.
HAHA JOJO INSPIRED KIRK. I should be surprised but I ain't XD
