Dark Souls lore thread!
Get in here, discuss how it's possible that Ornstein has 9 lives or something!

Yeah that's probably what they were going for. The idea is that the age of fire will start over again, and maybe this time the four gods that will be made of it won't be related to war and bring destruction to the world

Lords can get the Undead Curse too. Perhaps when you killed Ornstein the first time he simply revived later, and since his duty was fulfilled, set off to search for the Firstborn

Ornstein wasn't a Lord. Only a lesser god.

If you fight a boss and you die how come it heals when you come back but when you kill it it can't revive itself like you can

huh? wait, so the player character was once a lord of cinder, but isn't anymore? how is that possible? and if we're former lords of cinder, then why does everyone call us "unkindled"?

hawkwood seems to indicate that we're worthless next to true lords of cinder when you first talk to him

Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne all take place within the same universe. The Nexus in Demon's Souls acts as a gateway to various worlds within that universe. Dark Souls and Bloodborne are only a few of the worlds that exist. There are two god-like beings that have been influencing the plot in all the games. The Moon Presence is one, present in Bloodborne, and the Sun Presence is the other, present indirectly in Dark Souls. It is unclear how the Moon Presence and the Sun Presence interact with one another.

This has only been observed in captive wolves. Natural wolf packs have a family structure based around the patriarch and matriarch.
>>
>>336007157
I figured they started turning on each other accusing themselves of being abyss tainted.

My friend said something mentions how they can't really die, so they're probably just sparring until you show up and they all go ONEMIND into a single body.
>>
>>336007431
it's not like they were wolves from the day they were born so I wouldn't call them natural.

The broken gateway in Demon's Souls actually would have led to Yharnam, however it was destroyed by someone who didn't want to be followed. Marvelous Chester from Dark Souls wears attire that is very similar to that found in Bloodborne and bears a weapon from the area, it was he who had broken this gateway while escaping from the Moon Presence's influence in Yharnam.

Ornstein was never the God of War, Ornstein's set explicitly states that the Firstborn was his boss, as does Lightning Stake.

He fucked off to Archdragon Peak in search of the Firstborn, and met his end there

>>336007018
I've always liked the idea of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne taking place in the same universe. My personal theory is that Dark Soul 1 2 & 3 all take place chronically first in the timeline. Demon Souls is set in some point in the Age of Dark. With the First Flame gone, pyromancy has completely died out, but soul magic is still going strong. Demons are called demons because a few of them seem to resemble the chaos demons of old legends. Bloodborne is set even further in the timeline, to the point where even soul magic has been forgotten. Maybe Bloodborne is set during the period know as the Age of Deep Sea in DaS3.

The simplest reason is that Aldrich had to go through Farrons Keep to get to Irithyll. Aldritch sludge is known to corrupt and since he is an abyssal it's
more then likely he corrupted the abyss watchers. There killing each other because they strike hard at the first sign of the abyss. Even if it's in themselves.

no, she's talkin about embers reappearing in the dark one day. if the flame could be linked even in the dark, then we are still in the same position as before. flame fades->link it->flame linked->flame fades...except this time, the flame has died, the end, no more first flame.

*the vocal majority of 4chan who cares to mention politics is counter to whatever mainstream acceptable culture is.

I know the abyss causes people to transform but is that implying that the abyss is near where we are? Pontiff even transforms similar to the butterflies, and everyone is transforming in exactly the same manner, is there meaning to where the butterflies are going and why the pilgrims came to lothric to transform?
>>
>>336010536
The real Firelink has fallen into the Abyss. The one we start the game in is a reconstruction.
>>
>>336010826
nah, the Pilgrims had to travel from Londor to get where they are. The Abyss is probably underneath Londor, which is supported by the fact that Kaathe apparently hangs out there.

Londor is known to exile people (see: Atonenment), so they probably are booting any Abyss-corrupted hollows from their civilization before they transform and fuck shit up locally.

Sullivan saw the Abyss when he looked at the Profaned Flame, which is Abyss-corrupted Chaos
>>
>>336010826
Pilgrims either came to the Church of the Deep or the Cursed Greatwood.
Butterflies is a mystery. What is sure is that it's related to the flame fading and the dark soul/humanity. Like the next step after Hollowing.
>>
>>336010919
it's not the Abyss, it's just a world without fire. they're different.
>firelink shrine is an illusion
stop this meme, it's not a reconstruction, it's just the same place in a different time

Was the huge number of wyverns at Lothric suppose to implied that the Nameless King was war with them. Would certain explain why he wasn't home when you first visit the peaks. Could also have something to do with the snakemen in the room after Oceiros and the dragonslayer armor. I don't know all this stuff might implile that Oceiros did something to piss of the Nameless King.

this is actually a bug. the programmers fucked it up but instead of fixing it they just pretend it is on purpose so that autistic lore fans can jerk off on it.

>336010978
Oh okay that clears things up a ton senpai, I was very confused trying to figure out how pontiff and the pilgrims were linked, still interesting how the Abyss infects and corrupts with what seems to be quite a large delay seeing it takes so long for the pilgrims to finally change by time they get to lothric


>>336011031
So I keep hearing recreation and time travel, is there any indication in the game as to what exactly and how firelink was "recreated"? Is it just a separate state like the hunters dream? But accessible to everyone since NPCs can go there too? Also the shrine handmaid being in the dark firelink and her talking like she doesn't remember or recognize you, plus the black knights all around, what's up with all that?
>>
>>336011234

No, Lothric had a stable of wyverns for their military and shit.
>>
>>336011234
Oceiros was into dragon research. No surprise to have dragon related stuff there.
>>
>>336011312
>>336010978

Wow how did I manage to accidentally remove a >
>>
>>336011312
it isn't recreated.

you are visiting Firelink Shrine back as it existed just before Ludleth became a Lord of Cinder. It was his shrine, he knew the Firekeeper there personally and watched her die after trying to save her. There was no Gundyr, he arrived too late to stop the flame from fading, and of course the handmaiden doesn't recognize you, for the same reason that Elizabeth doesn't recognize you in Oolacile: you wandered in from the future and are a stranger there.
>>
>>336011031
>same place in a different time
Why the fuck would we time travel by hitting a hidden wall. Even Dark Souls has rules for time traveling. The fact Untended Graves is connected to the rest of world and Firelink Shrine isn't obviously means something is up the Firelink Shrine.

>there are rules for time travel
"time is convoluted, with heroes centuries old phasing in and out." people just kind of show up since reality is falling apart. Logan does in DaS1, he travels 100 years through time to talk to you in Sen's fortress.
>>
>>336011458
The part that confuses me the most is how to we visit this separate instance of time then before ludleth became a Lord of cinder by just walking off a ledge behind a wall in a room past oreos the dragon man?
>>
>>336011538
No, the dark Firelink is the present one. Time-travel one is the one we start at. Notice how there's no route to or from it but bonfires? NOtice how after everything goes to shit, the sun turns into a darksign, and the pilgrim butterflies are flying everywhere, sunny Firelink remains sunny?

the bell didn't ring in Dark Firelink, but it objectively rang in Lothric and the surrounding areas (which, by your argument, would imply that it rang in dark firelink as well)

there is no endless plane of darkness behind Lothric Castle, as you would expect if Untended Graves was in the "present"

The answer lies in Gundyr and Firekeeper eyes.

You get his Soul there. Ludex drops none. And his armor tells you about how he went there but got too late.

I know it's badly done but it is what it is.

no it's not
the world itself is churning together so the homes of the lords converge upon lothric. they literally can not run from their duty.

Oh, capital " i ". Got it.

>>336012158
no it isn't, it ruins any sort of natural progression that the questlines would have, because the only way to progress is to say "I'm going to comb the whole map looking for NPCs like I'm looking for illusory walls" instead of "where does it makes sense for the NPC to have gone"

I can't tell you for how long I looked around Farron Keep searching for Hawkwood after he disappeared from Firelink, but with no luck (because he disappeared entirely until you visit Archdragon Peak)

Pretty sure he wasn't privy to Priscilla's location, he actually just saw her in some kind of vision whilst eating Gwyndolin.

Where was the Nameless King during all of DS1 and 2?

Was he in hiding for some reason? Was he ruling his own kingdom somewhere else? Why did he come back in DS3? What did his siblings (Gwyndolin and Gwynevere) think of him? Do Lothric and Lorian know he exists?

His souls gives you the lifehunt scythe, so obviously he already ate her by the time you fight him. Which actually makes sense, since he probably rediscovered anor londo, went down to the painted room, ate priscilla, then came back and went down to darkmoon tomb and ate gwyndolin.

His soul gives you the Lifehunt scythe miracle, not the actual scythe. The description for the miracle outright states that he saw Priscilla in a dream and created the miracle based on what he saw.

So I just got a ps4 the other day because I was called a fag on this website for not having one and I got Bloodborne. Why do people love it so much? The transforming weapons are really cool but overall I feel like DS3 is better.

Also no etsus is terrible. Having to farm after deaths for more vials is very tedious and I pretty much have 0 bullets at all times.

One plus is that it has been much harder to me than DS3 was
