So who was the mother of Gwyn's kids?

>>387171350
Never said, I don't think she ever really mattered.

Before I played Dark Souls I think Solaire had been ruined for me. I really didn't know a lot about DS but I used to see so many pics of him. I ended up liking Siegmeyer way more.

For months before I played Dark Souls I used to have dreams about playing. The game lived up to my dreams and I stopped having them.

>>387172726
It certainly has the best hub theme but I wish the NPCs would react more to each other's presence. I mean, Rosabeth and her dad are 10 feet away from each other but they never hang out? I lot of the "early game" NPCs are really fleshed out, like the merchant guy who hollows before your eyes as you buy stuff (which was done really really well), but then a lot of the guys that move in later seem less thought-out.

>>387172839

The Nexus was built by the Monumentals to house the Old One, and as a waypoint to go from one region to another quickly.

The Maiden is a demon that is able to lull the Old One back to sleep, and is able to use the Soul Arts to power up people, or drain people of their soul.

>>387174180
I imagine it was built by the meta-physical monks at the height of their power. The maiden is the Old One's favourite soul gatherer from the last time shit went down.

Really makes me sad famme

>>387170307
So I started playing Demon's souls this week (my very first souls game) in my ps3, and I have to say, it's been a very challenging game. I literally spent 6 hours trying to get to the first boss in the Boletarian Palace. It was kind of my fault though, I spent way too much time trying to kill that red-eye knight and eventually gave up. Not only that, I started as a Wanderer, but later found out that it's not a recommended class for first timers.
Nevertheless, it's been a while since I've had so much fun with a game in a long time. Being able to figure out ways to kill bosses has being one of the best parts of the game; with the exception of the Armored Spider, which I just meleed the fuck out of it because I started to lose patience.
I just defeated the Maneater Boss and the old monk and about to adventure into the Valley of Defilement.
One thing I don't understand is, why does the game give you so many weapons when I you can do just fine with the ones you start with? I've been upgrading my Falchion and spiked shield and haven't had any problems at all. Also, how do you change world tendencies?

>>387172928

>>387186529
>why does the game give you so many weapons when I you can do just fine with the ones you start with?
Roleplaying maybe, or if you prefer other movesets. I like how pretty much every weapon is viable in DeS.
>Also, how do you change world tendencies?
Die a lot as a human in your world of choice for pure black. Defeat bosses without dying in human form for pure white. It's recommended you play offline because being online changes your tendency to the average amongst all players I think.

Personal preference
Different weapons have different movesets and damage types, altering your playstyle fairly significantly at times, you might prefer one over the other

He was also a real hero to his country and prevented the chaos from spreading, and always stands there, at the heart of chaos, burnt, corrupted, but unbroken

Is Pontiff a giant race of DaS2? They are trees as well.
Since those giants are almost annihilated in 2, it is no surprise some of them escaped to painted world.

And the usurpation of fire is actually just as bad of an ending as linking the fire.

First of all, so you still don't know what the word means. Secondly, look at Dark Souls 3. There are many design decisions that make it a straight downgrade from the previous games while making it sound more appealing to your average shit-eating mainstream demographic. Bosses are visually more impressive but are significantly easier, many of them relying on a gimmick like attacking a weak spot for massive damage, using a specific item, dealing with their adds, etc. Power-stancing was removed for flashy weapon arts, when they didn't need to be mutually exclusive. Instead of the limited cast spell system which worked just fine and was decently balanced, you now have a run of the mill mana bar. They took out poise for no reason. They took out the small white soapstone for no reason. They let phantoms use a fuckload of estus making boss fights easier but invasions a boring war of attrition. You can't infuse shields to increase a specific resistance for situational use, and upgrading just slightly increases stability and without increasing any resistances whatsoever. Armor upgrading is gone, so your gear gets less useful the further you go in the game. All of the titanite the game fucking rains on you goes to upgrading your weapon, but because of how gems and coals are spaced out you're going to be running with a shitty or no infusion for most of the game. Early game build variety is garbage, if you're a caster you're going to be using either no or a raw infused weapon until mid to late game because for some reason magic and lightning infusions are a few hours in while heavy, sharp and refined are a few minutes. Oh yeah, you have to sacrifice your estus to get your new mana bar back so casters are even weaker.

That's just off the top of my head.

Source: I played the fucking game, didn't you?

>>387174229
This is my literal dream, I just hope to god they don't fuck with the level design and listen to the ds3 fags who want fast travel from the start. I'm also fine with them replacing the upgrade system with 3's, as long as the different blacksmiths and coals are all still there

>>387194365
Probably in the end Laurence slaughtered church members which deceived him.
That explain why that corpse ask forgiveness.

>>387194365
Laurence wasn't evil so much as he was incredibly ambitious and short-sighted. He inadvertently set the ball rolling for a lot of problems, but the later Church and the Choir is more directly responsible.

Neither Seath nor Kalameet but it was Midir possess true Moonlight.
Why.

>>387186705
I think the issue is that none of the stories have any closure. Like, okay, she's hollowing and can't recognize her father, cool. But she still thinks he looks like her father, so why wouldn't either of them walk 10 feet to check. What would have been more sad was if she had completely forgotten him, and perhaps even spurned him because of this. Maybe she trails off because she can't remember whether her dad died, ran away, or she ran away.

>Journey with Aldia

People give DkS2 a lot of shit but I feel like in a lot of respects the story and themes of 2 are a lot more focused and pervasive than the other games, and the Aldia ending is probably my favorite in the entire series. The entire game has this really melancholy, nostalgic feeling because it's focused on losing memories and the past. The character has a more obvious motivation than in the other games, with journeying to Drangleic in order to try to recover his lost memories.

It also didn't rely on "HEY GUYS REMEMBER THIS ONE" as much as DkS3. It still had callbacks, but I feel like it stood on its own a lot more. Hell, I'd even go as far as saying that it spent less time directly referencing things than DkS1, with all of its Berserk shit.

DkS2 is still pretty flawed, but I think the memes about it are pretty overblown.

Creighton's set is top-tier for Fashion Souls, too.

>>387196137
LHB is a quality weapon, so a 25/50 split in str or dex works equally well

Threaded Cane is hot ass as a starting weapon, so have fun with that I guess.

>>387194721
Try playing 1 and 2 again, taking into account the base games only, most bosses from 1 and 2 are piss-easy in comparison, it's the quicker reaction times that help experienced players a lot.
>Power-stancing was removed for flashy weapon arts
With few exceptions, weapon arts are much more versatile than power-stacing, they were removed probably for balance/animation budget issues, the current poise implementation works much better than DaS1's easy mode, most of these changes were made to benefit aggresive playstyles other like the small white soapstone were made redundant without stuff like the ascetics from 2

The problems of the game arise from it being transformed half-way into bloodborne rather than being fully geared for mainstream audiences

The Patches that you find in DaS3 and TRC is the same patches from DaS1, right?

>>387196246
yeah, I opted for a skill bias for visceral damage and to have a more versatile secondary weapon

is the cane really that shitty? A whip-sword ought to be pure sex

>>387196340
Why would he be a different person?

>>387196392
It does no damage at first because almost all of its damage comes from its scaling, so it's a shitty starter weapon but a good lategame weapon

>>387196340
Yeah, he's a cameo character that appears even in Bloodborne.

I'm re-playing DaS2 right now, actually. I'd probably be playing 1 if I didn't buy a 21:9 meme monitor that makes DaS1 shit itself. But honestly, I'm having a lot more fun. Don't get me wrong, I've put about 100 hours into DaS3 because it's still a fun game, but there are just so many decisions that bring the game down for me.

I'm noticing in DaS2 the visuals are much more interesting with a more diverse color palette, which makes up for the hammered ass level animations. You get the ore trader woman so all infusions and therefore builds become available at the same time, rather than one being overpowered early game and another being almost unplayable. Bonfire ascetics are cool as fuck, in my opinion, too. Not to mention NG+ does more than just giving enemies more health and putting rings in new places.

You see where I'm going with this. It feels like the primary concern went from 'fun' and 'cool' to 'looks good in a cinematic trailer or IGN review'.

>>387189334
Vow of Silence is a miracle of Velka, and is taught by Londor clerics.

Velka is the goddess of Sin, and is described as having gone rogue. It is known that she supported the Occult Rebellion in DaS1, presumably as a means of punishing the Lords' many sins, and is unusually closely affiliated with mankind.

>>387196631
Patches and almost all the other NPCs from the shrine probably got revived by the bell just like you, given that they drop ashes.

The handmaiden just weathered the last cycle, andre originally was supposed to be related to the gods maybe that's why he survived everything just like shira.

Only Anri and Horace seem to be proper undead, since they are the only npcs that go hollow, almost everyone else leaves ashes behind

>>387197116
Anri is an Unkindled like the player, Yuria tells you this. Her and Horance hollow because they both were infected by Dark Sigils, which allow Unkindled to hollow.

I've never understood what's wrong with just linking the flames and keeping the cycle going forever, but then again I never really finished DS3. What's the deal with that? I don't really care about spoilers.

>tfw get invaded and worry you're on one of those youtube kill videos

>>387197285
The linking of the fire doesn't work by the time of 3.
Everything that can be burned to sustained it has been burned.

>>387197285
Linking the fire appears to have diminishing returns. The more time you do it, the less time you buy yourself before having to do it again. The process becomes weaker and thus continuing to link the flame becomes an increasingly pointless endeavor. It's not a perfect reset of the world, entropy will not be denied no matter how much you fight it.

>>387197436
Well I guess that's a simple explanation.

>>387197040
Doesn't Velka also have ties to the painted world as well?
Given her ties to humanity, is it that far-fetch to say that Velka is the Furtive Pygmy?

>>387197595
Velka has ties to the painted world because that's where the Gods dumped everything they didn't like. No, Velka is not the Furtive Pygmy. Velka is a Lord, and the Pygmy was the first man. The two most likely candidates for the Pygmy's identity (assuming that you meet him at all) are Manus, and the nameless Pygmy Lord that you can speak with in TRC.

>>387182009
Damn I love the old hunters, is a great DLC, but man is tough. It took a lot more time than you to kill Ludwig my first time anon, the road ahead is hard anon but it's worth it.

To be even more elaborate, a Cinder is a burnt piece of wood and the Lords of Cinder have already linked the fire.
The first flame is cannibalizing itself to sustain its existence.

And if you think that ushering in an Age of Perpetual Dark by usurping the fire is the way to go, you will also be mistaken. The cycle between light and dark exists for a reason.

I agree with you, though I think that DS3 had a bigger need of callbacks due to it depending on a more chronological form to DS1. However! I do think they exagerated with the amount of reused assets from DS1, while DS2 had a better direction in its narrative. I like the three games, and to be honest while I find DS2 to be less appealing in the pve side I've spent hours upon the pvp.

Well, probably not with painted world, but with Gael.

>Rosaria provide aid(rebirth) to those losers.
>Gael used to belong the way of white, praying for unknown goddess in previous WofW church.

So there is high possibility that Rosaria is goddess of WofW and deify as "Mother of farlorn".

>>387197285
The flame still gets weaker while being rekindled, this affects the structure and order of the world. Also, if i'm not mistaken, the curse of the undead fell upon humanity due to the artifitial process of rekindling the flame.

dks2's callbacks were great because it was all about how crazily the world had changed over the cycles of different people linking the flame, kiln had changed completely over time, no one remembered gwyn ornstein or seath properly but artefacts and their impact were still around, the great souls had been reincarnated into others

but dark souls 3 barely changed the world from 1, things like petrified dragon bone and sublime bone dust are ignored, but estus shards lucatiels set and fkn laddersmith gilligan come back

>the curse of the undead fell upon humanity due to the artifitial process of rekindling the flame.
No, it was around before that. Back when Anor Londo was populated by the Gods, before the flame was ever linked, Undead gladiator matches were a popular spectator sport. The champions of the Oolacile Arena were invited into the city.

Undeath is an inherent consequence of the flames fading. As fire fades, disparity fades along with it since disparity is a consequence of fire existing. So when the disparity between life and death starts to die, people stop being able to die properly and you get Undead. Never forget that it took the active expenditure of fires power to keep Death operating right, Nito had to spend his own soul.

>>387172726

The Lords created the Darksign, but the Darksign does not signify Undeath. The Darksign is the sign that a seal of fire has broken. In other instances in DaS3 when we see the Darksign, it appears on a seal or a construct of fire that has failed. For example, we see a Darksign on the Ringed Knight armor, which was supposedly sealed to suppress the Abyss. And yet, the armor retains its own free will (a characteristic of Abyss possession) and one can clearly observe the darkness of the Abyss on the chestpiece. If it's meant to be a "seal" its the worst seal ever. It's broken. Similarly, when the flames sputter down to their last breath, the Sun turns into a Darksign. But as we've seen in DaS1, the Sun is a construct that's powered by Fire (as seen when the lights turn off in Anor Londo). Again, a broken or failed or weakened seal of fire.

Keeping this in mind, we observe that the Darksign appears on an Undead when they become incapable of dying. It would be logical, then, to suppose that the "seal" that just broke is the ability to die in the first place. Mankind isn't intended to die of old age. They're intended to be immortal like the Gods are. Growing old and dying is a power limiter that Gwyn and Nito placed on Man at the dawn of the Age of Fire to suppress their strength. Further evidence: Death required Nito's active input to keep functioning, it's not natural when it comes to humans.

Humans aren't meant to grow old and die. They are forced to do so by the Lords' seal. When the flames weaken to the point where the Seal fails, they've also been weakened to the point where the fading Life vs Death disparity produces Undead. So when the Seal of Death fails, you don't die of old age and become immortal (like its implied that people who "contracted" the Darksign during their lives such as Logan did). But if you get killed you don't stay dead, you get back up and respawn.

>>387201208

White Birch Bow mentions that Oolacile sent missionaries to TRC. TRC is the first instance of humans experimenting on their own humanity, in this case for the purposes of producing something akin to Abyssal Embers and weapon ascension. Oolacile tried the same techniques with Manus' soul and it blew up in their faces.

Considering the current state of TRC and the fact that Gwyn felt the need to lock away the Ringed Knight's powers, the pygmies didn't really have any better luck.

Am I the only person who LOVES these weelchair bastards? I love the rants they speak before firing. Particularly the one with the blunderbuss. "Busy body, leave us be!" *BOOM*

That fucking sequence of him yelling and then pulling the trigger is god tier atmosphere and sound design.

He's the mummy with the cage on his head that you touch to enter the Nightmare of Mensis. He basically crammed his way into Mergo's Dream to acquire power, insight,
and effective immortality. You killed his persona in the dream, and his real body has long since perished. He existed only as a memory in a dream. In dying, he'll lose the insight he fought so hard for, forgetting everything, showing that he probably cared more for the insight than his own life.

At least from what I can remember. Micolash is a pure kino boss fight.

These woods are one of my favorite areas in the game, while being labyrinthic it's the only area in any souls games that I actually enjoyed gettin lost in.

The fact that the citizens of Yharnam spoke was great, it adde a lot of atmosphere to the game. I remember wondering why the villagers were attacking me and treating me as a beast until I saw the sligthy more converted ones with the curved swords.

>be terrified of snakes IRL
>reach Forbidden Woods
>"hey this area is pretty f-"
god damn
my body temperature rose and I sweated like a pig the entire time in there. took me forever too, like some 5 hours to get through the place. I was fucking terrified

I don't know why but I really liked the ending in 3 where the lights all go out and it's just you and the firekeeper

The idea of being in a near permanent, all-encompassing darkness is pretty terrifying, but somehow being with another person made it okay, and the scene was almost intimate in a weird way?

So what actually happened when the Embraced Shell was broken? You get taken to the future, time normalizes for the city, some other thing?

>>387205638
I remember watching one of the early trailers where you had a glimpse at the giant snake amalgamation and saying "This is going to be horrifying." Bloodborne is so incredible. Also that feeling when you get high enough insight and see the giant ayys and are like "These fuckers were watching me all along?!!"

>>387206590
For me it was on new game plus though. My first playthrough I didn't pay attention to some details in the lore, though I always read new stuff I found. However, even after getting to yahargul and seeing the amygdalas I didn't put 1 and 2 together. I immediatly started the game in NG+ precisely to try and interpret more lore and after seeing the amygdalas i was dumbfounded.

Adding to this, Velka is closely associated with crows. She attempted to punish the gods for their sins, presumably for keeping the Age Of Fire going. What does CU do upon arriving in Lordran? Kill all the remnants from the Age Of Fire. How does CU get there? A crow.

Nameless King solo

The Jeb! chicken of low-energy was okay, but NK really shines on his own

He's also one of the few boss fights in DaS3 that doesn't flail at you, or have huge combo strings. Instead, he uses devastating strikes, a few small combos and burst speed to kill the player; not to mention some very impressive AOEs towards the end (creating a lightning stake with his bare foot is kino)

tl;dr the NK feels like a DaS/DaS2 DLC boss in DaS3 in that he doesn't rely on flashy tricks to beat you, and you can't rely on roll spam to beat him - you have to time your rolls properly, like you did against Artorias or Fume Knight

>>387210573
wow this really works. thanks anon!
