What is your opinion on Solaire?
He's transgender
>>321539392
I dropped my soap stone next to him and he bent over to pick it up for me
Then there was butsecks
>>321539392
Wish you can romance him.
He is the sun.
best grill
retard with mental problems
Pretty optimistic. I like him as a character since all he wants to do is help you and find his sun, unlike the others ( a la Lautrec). I love how theres bits and pieces in the world, hinting at his origin before becoming undead and coming to Lordran.
Overrated as fuck. Sunbro memers need to fuck off already.

The path to save him is pretty stupid.
>>321541129
why?
>>321539392
Better question bros:
Would we like him to appear in dark souls 3?
>>321541202
Counter-intuitive, I guess ? The only way to save him without cheesing the game is through joining the Chaos Covenant.
>>321541341
The only character this game's shitty fanbase deserves making a comeback is Maldron the Ass.
>>321541456
Oh yeah, I guess I agree there. I thought you meant the act of saving him is stupid.
>>321541456
>>321542215
Unusual ways to keep NPCs alive is a souls tradition though. I'd argue Demon's was the most merciless about it because if you didn't spoil yourself you'd likely find half your merchants suddenly "missing".
>ebic praise le sunny d
he's overrated as fuck, his sword is outclassed by the longsword, his talisman is unoptimized, his incandescence obsession is wholly retarded and the only thing he's good at is getting facefucked so you don't have to
seriously, this idiot is directly responsible for everything that's wrong with souls

Solaire can die? Shit.

Don't worry about it just yet, but if you want him to stay alive and be your bro for the final fight,join up with sad spidertits and feed her your humanity

Another man of fine tastes, I see.
I have a question
I want to do a moralfag run with a cleric
what is more moralfag, to kill Lautrec and Petrus is order to stop them from commiting murder of innocent npcs, or to not do it?
![1424746842848[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/XRNIq0n.jpg "1424746842848[1].jpg")
>>321547771
Yes indeed. Although it's most telegraphed if there is to be a winner it will be Miia.
>>321548624
Not to do it. Your character wouldn't know at that point that they are going to kill anybody. Your character would think he/she is doing the right thing.
I liked Siegmeyer better
>>321548624
if you're trying to rp a moral character, your character wouldn't know what they would do down the road in while you had the chance to kill them in the hub. for max rp, act only on the knowledge you would have at any given moment to make a decision.
>>321548708
But anon, how would you be able to marry Rachnee if she was the winner of the Darlingbowl ?
>>321539392
idk i killed him
It's been awhile since I played but there's some cool lore that says he's Gwyn's firstborn son or something, and that he used to be a god of the sun or a deity or something. Then something about memory damage, and all he can focus on is the sun or something.
He's a good guy, I made sure to save him during my second playthrough because I fucked up during my first.
>>321548790
>>321549614
What these anons said, it'd break the immersion you've set for yourself if you knew events that haven't happened yet. Though if you want to keep Reah alive, which I suggest you do, you can just bullshit some headcanon bit about being told Petrus would kill her, or you have a vision or something, or whatever.
Or just "stop" roleplaying for a bit (basically get out of the mind of your character to do game mechanic stuff like grinding, etc etc), kill him, then just assume RPing and act like you didn't do it. It's easy.
>>321548624
I guess if you get all the available dialogue hints you would be pretty suspicious of Petrus, but I'm not sure if that's enough to kill him. Definitely do avenge Reah once she's dead, though.
I think you'll have no choice but to kill Patches once you tell him you're a cleric.
Also I recommend doing Pinwheel first, it's the most Cleric thing to do. He's actually a kind of decent fight with a +0 mace.
>>321550426
Why wouldn't you just lie to Patches? Because the player would in fact be a Cleric, or because lying isn't very Cleric-like?
>>321549843
Didn't the devs say that the firstborn son of Gwin was actuallythe blacksmith guy?
>>321539392
Husbando. <3
>>321541341

>>321541341
Isn't DS3's plot basically "Darkness spreads, ancients lords of cinders awaken" ? Could see him being brought back as a boss.
>>321550873
>Making me kill Solaire again

>>321550873
I want to see Gwyn return as an optional boss fight.

>>321549614
>>321550130
One of the first times you even talk to Lautrec at Firelink he basically spells it out by saying he's 'done' with the Fire Keeper then laughs like a retard
>>321551148
I was thinking about this while taking a shit the other day
What if DS3 turns out to be a prequel and you play as Gwyn on an adventure to claim the suns power so you can fuck up the dragons, and the NPCs are the other lords who are all pretty chill.and pretty much everything in the game goes against as much fanon as possible because I want to see the butthurt that would generate
He's not the son of Gwyn and anyone who thinks he is is- is an idiot who completely missed the point of the character
>Solaire and sun bro memes are what destroyed dark souls
No dark wraith covenant and fat dads did that

His videos are entertaining but I always take them with a grain of salt
It's funny how his prepare to cry artorias edition fails to point out he didn't stop the Abyss but the chosen undead did.

Best voice acting in the whole series imo. Shame Alfred (and all the Blood Souls NPCs really) isn't nearly as fleshed out and developed as the DaS and DeS NPCs.
Why that bug makes him insane?
Also, I dont want to farm humanity just to save him, is there any other?
>>321553530
>Entire world turns his back on him because he gets the curse
Like most undeads, they don't all start killing innocents for that. At least until they turn hollow.
>>321553741
You can kill the bug from the door with pyromancers spells. Apparently hitting Solaire once will turn him hostile, you can then go kill the bugs, then go to Oswald to pay for your sin.
The safest way is to farm

>>321541456
It was intended to be a secret that was hard to figure out

I can imagine him being an optional boss.
All decadent with the sun maggot still on his head, mumbling things about the sun as you whittle down his health.
>>321554921
You have fine tastes, but not the best.
>>321555246
But his canon ending was was beating Gwyn and linking the flame.
>>321555058
There's being a secret and there's stumbling on it by blind chances.
Same reason I hate illusories walls. Most of the time there's nothing distinguishable about them and you're bound to hit every brick or read a guide to find them all.
>>321555580
>Once I was searching my own sun

>>321553530
So is the black eye orb version supposed to be a parallel universe counterpart instead of the body you find? Also who is his god that demands firekeeper souls?
>>321555580
Oh yeah, forgot about that.
Good then.
Then he'll be the final boss and the whole series will just keep getting sadder and sadder.
>>321555661
This is a game about cooperation. You're supposed to know where illusionary walls are from all the messages saying "illusionary wall ahead".
>>321553530
>heads to Anor Lando to meet his god in person
>Finds it abanadoned
I never thought about this, but I guess it makes perfect sense in regards as to what Lautrec's business up there was.
Though
>Kills himslef
I don't think so. You're the one who kills him. Why he doesn't come back to life is anyone's guess but you could ask that about a lot of the characters in the game.The Undead Curse is honestly the most out of place thing in the lore and creates more questions than it answers. The setting would still work without it with some minor rewrites.
>>321555792
Since Lautrec is also undead, killing him once doesn't stop him, it just allows you to get the firekeeper soul back from him.
He probably managed to kill Bonnie and Clyde, met up with Gwynevere's illusion and understood that all the gods left, including Velka. Desperate, he became hollow and got killed.
>>321555580
Go away, Vaati.I mean I like the theory but it is by no means canon.
>>321539392
I have never played, but its all my grandpa plays so it must have some appeal.

>>321552059
>The same thing is going to happen to Dragon's Dogma

>>321557458
Going to need a citation on that claim, famalam.lmao wat r u going 2 do about it talk at me in a monotonous english accent?
>>321553741
There is that thing where the player gets soft humanity if he he kills a certain normal mob in an area before you defeat the boss.
I think there is a bug that allows you to teleport from Undead parish to Duke's archives and kill one hollow soldier for one humanity each time you warp.
At leas that's what I did to get those damn 30 humanity.
>>321539392
Couldn't give 2 shits about him
I haven't liked a single NPC in souls games, the bosses have infinitely better stories.
>>321557828
I think it's a certain amount of mobs, not a specific one. Even the Dukes archives one I don't think it's a specific one, just the first you kill after getting imprisoned.
I'm playing DS1 for the first time (picked it up from the sale) and I'm having trouble with the taurus demon. How am I supposed to evade his attacks on that tiny bridge?
>>321557828
I think they've fixed the Duke's Archive humanity bug. It didn't work for me last few times I tried it.
>>321558434
Stay close to him. You can actually go under his legs.
Also if you haven't already figured it out maybe you should think back to your first strike on the asylum demon
>>321558550
I try to go under his legs and I get hit anyway. I'm using a spear if it helps. Should I switch to a more sweeping weapon?
What do you mean about first strike on asylum demon? I just ran up to it and started swinging
>>321539392
Cool character that became a meme because the internet is a cancer.
Not the best in the game though, Siegmeyer and Laurentious are better.
>>321558701
Well there was something else you were expected to do. Just climb up the ladder, look down, and have a quick think to yourself.
A different weapon might help but only marginally, you should use whatever weapon you have fun with.
>>321558975
Oh. I'm supposed to spam falling attacks? That's pretty counterintuitive.
>>321559310
No, no. Only do one falling attack, bud. Dodging in souls games is more about timing. If you look at any dark souls runner/good player, you'll see that more often than not, they dodge into an enemy/through an attack. Dodging gives you a few frames of invincibility, which can cancel out the frames of damage an attack gives. Try timing your rolls so that you enter it right as his attack hits.
>>321560227
I've been trying that and I seem to mess up the timing a lot. Have you played monster hunter before? Should I dodge similar to that?
>>321560351
What's your carry weight look like? Even for a heavy armour character, try and only use 50% equip weight so your rolls aren't completely shit.
>>321557713
The Sacred Ashes in Dark Souls 2 hint that there was a saint who linked the Fire. That's about all the evidence. It's not canon if it's Sunbro or not, but the fact that the Warriors of Sunlight are still around, and their spells talk about a "grossly incandescent father" sort of hints at it.
>>321560351
Never played monster hunter before, so I wouldn't know. Personally, when I'm playing Dark Souls, I twitch-reflex while doding. You'll get a hang of the dodging system if you've made it to Taurus.
If my memory serves me correctly, taurus will back away if you advance enough toward him. Try and keep away from his attacks (they have a surprisingly short range). If you can't do that, then dodge.
All I gotta say is learn to take advantage of your I-Frames, and don't rely on armour too much.
You can also block most physical attacks with your shield, believe it or not. That includes Taurus.
>>321560351
Dodging like it's MH will get you punked. It's more like Bayonetta desu.
So, I've never actually beaten Dark Souls 1.
I've played every Souls game except Dark Souls. I've beaten the DLC of every Souls games except Dark Souls.
This Christmas I got Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition.
After beating Ludwig and Orphan Kos without summoning, how tough of a time am I going to have on Ornstein and Smough? These guys are considered the hardest Souls boss fight, right?
>>321560574
It's the Chosen Undead and all the others who linked the fire between then and the present. It's not evidence for Solaire having linked the fire in any way.
Also
>implying Warriors of Sunlight is anything other than lore deprived pandering of the same level as Old Dragonslayer
>>321560526
I have under 50% carry weight, someone told me about that recently.
>>321560672
>You'll get a hang of the dodging system if you've made it to Taurus.
I've been blocking everything, actually, so that's probably why I need more practice.
>>321560682
Alright, I'll try that as well.
>>321560836
Well, yeah, dude. I said that that really vague item description was about all the hard evidence there was. I never said it was definitive proof.
>implying things that exist in the game aren't canon because you say so
It's in the game. Even if it's obvious pandering, you don't get to cherry-pick the lore.
>>321560832
They're not that hard, but it can take a while to get used to fighting what is essentially two completely different bosses (as opposed to gargoyles, which was two of the same boss) at once. Once you've got down the timing for dodging them it's a lot easier.
It's also a lot easier to kill Ornstein first.Like seriously I can kill Ornstein and then Super Smough no problem, but I have never once been able to beat Super Ornstein.
>>321560914
One last tip: the road will be hard, and believe me, you'll die. If it gets frustrating, either take a break or let it work as a source of determination for you. The sense of accomplishment you get after defeating some of the bosses is crazy.
>>321561086
Oh I'm well aware of how frequently I'll die.
>>321539392
Not a fan of card games but my wife loves it.
>>321561068
I never said it's not canon, I just said it has literally no reason to exist, just like how the Old Dragonslayer has literally no reason to be a clone of Ornstein. It's only there because "hehe remember these guys from Dark Souls 1? ;)"
It's not non-canon but there is no sort of explanation or lore reason for it.
>>321561154
Why'd you have to go and do that
>>321561153
Are you playing it blind?
>>321561525
Mostly, yeah.
>>321539392
The only thing that makes it worth replaying this mess of a video game.
>>321561665Read item descriptions, listen to dialogue, and explore a lot
>>321560914
Try this: go through an area you've already cleared, but do it without a shield.
It's "Sink or Swim" as fuck, but it should help out a lot if you learn something from it.
>>321563396
That'd be interesting if there was a decent reason not to have a shield regardless. 2 handing I guess but switching on the fly is pretty simple. Want to try a dual wield run in DaS2 now that I have it, but from what I've played so far that might be some serious bull unless upgrading rolling stats makes it OP as fuck
>>321564049
>That'd be interesting if there was a decent reason not to have a shield regardless
It speeds up fights ? You do more damages two-handling, and since you're "forced" to act you have to do something
I'm fighting taurus demon again.
The hitbox on his attacks are fucking retarded.
>>321564971
He got so sick of me that he jumped off the bridge.
Oh well.
