Alexander is friend-shaped. As strage as it sounds, I would happily take a version of Elden Ring where he travels with you, just barreling along the landscape on his side. You can level him up by feeding him the corpses you kill, and you take the runes. Then, finally, he asks you fir one last favor at the end of the game: A test of strength. A bout for the ages! Boisterous laughter abound as he takes to the air to body-slam you! If you are defeated, that's an ending-- where he delivers you, alongside Torrent and Melina to a Catacombs dungeon and lays you, and others, in their roots, then settles himself, now empty, at your side, content with having defeated such a mighty Tarnished warrior. If you defeat him, he asks that you take the sharpest shard of him you can find, and one of his arms, and fashion yourself a trophy to take along with you, so he may fight at your side forever. The weapon you receive is the Warrior Jar's Lament, a scythe imbued with a decent bleed spell. EDIT: I kinda wanna expound on the idea of the Alexander Ending, and give him a power all his own: Grace of Kintsugi. In both endings, due to his unwavering loyalty to you, and his deep belief in your strength, he draws from your grace and makes it his own. The power of Gleaming Gold settles into his nicks and cracks, in every chip and scratch and crack, reinforcing it with golden light and making him, truly, an unbreakable jar. In the ending where he defeats you, he spends the rest of his days guarding your body, and himself, from looters and poachers, waiting for the day that your soul returns to the Erdtree. This could even go into NG+ and separate character territory, where he spawns in that specific Catacombs Dungeon to battle whoever wanders in, using the weapons and magic of the Tarnished. In the event that you beat him, and take a shard with you, the scythe could have it's own small, temporary summon attack as a weapon art that sends Alexander barreling forward at a target on his side.

One to be stronger than he was before, and one to be like his brother. A beautiful dicotomy.

The tale of Oslow was indeed painted in blood and remembered in tears of the friends and gratitude of those under Dialos protection.

The saddest thing about Diallos' questline is that either ending fits him perfectly. If you tell him he failed, he admits just how much of a fool he had been rather than lie and make up an excuse. Though it may be sad, he finally comes to terms with himself. If you tell him he won, he finds peace in himself, unknowingly meeting and surpassing the expectations of those who cared about him. In turn, his will lives on through Jar Bairn. While the second ending is preferable and true, both endings actually fit Diallos' character in a certain aspect.

Do you know what the saddest part about Diallos's story is for me? It's his fault. Vaati painted this narrative as though a poacher followed you, the player to Jarburg. But you can come and go to and from Jarburg with impunity. Jarburg is safe and healthily populated even after you beat the Elden Beast if you just never talk to Diallos. The poacher followed HIM. He died in the defense of innocents whom he himself endangered. And, what's worse, whom he failed to protect. Far more jars are broken by his defense of them than would have been if he had simply never darkened their doorstep. Diallos Hoslow. A younger brother who breaks the older's heart by emulating him. A master who served the House of those who murdered his servant. A defender who brought death onto his charges. His tale is told in blood - just not the blood of his enemies.

I keep the small piece of Alexander you get from his duel on me at all times. He may have been a mere jar, but he was a true friend, so I uphold a small promise I made to him to take his remains to every battle.

The sadness of Alexander hit me like a train. Also it's funny cause when fighting radahn Alexander is the last summon standing yet he is a pot

That Erdtree to Volcano Manor transition at 13:44 is probably one of the smoothest in the whole video. Great cinematography.

Alexander is the best bro in the entire game, bar none. His final fight always puts my hairs on end, where he laughs at the end because he got to live exactly as he wished right to the end. Brilliant character.

Man, Diallos' story is something I legitimately get teary-eyed about every time I hear it or see fanart. I love this video and how absolutely beautiful the accompanying visuals are! Also, Diallos kicking the Perfumer down the cliff really solves the biggest plot hole of a lack of poacher corpses in Jarburg after the attack. That's really smart.

Can you imagine if reaching Jarburg in a pacifist run actually allows you to be Potentate? I know Fromsoft games don't really have in-depth story choices, but imagine being able to fight the Jar Poacher with Diallos because you were Potentate. After slaining your hands with the poacher, you hand over the title to Diallos who will continue to take care of the jars. Wishful thinking, but I just want a happy ending okay?!

Really? Diallos is like the easiest quest in the entire game IMO, you don't have to do anything really, I suppose most players will find jarburg either really early or way later so I guess if you find it too early than you might not think to come back. But I thought it being the most densely packed area for crafting flowers and a bunch of the games very few cracked pots, I figure pretty much everyone will be coming back here a few times.
