Do we all agree Aldrich is strongest LoC in DaS3 plot wise?
Aldrich need to pass Farron Keep to go back Irithyll, his hometown.
Why Abyss watchers didn't stop him on the spot or they tried but get infected by Aldrich's abyss instead?
>>336478278
Why are his pubes so dirty?
>>336478915
It's been thousands of year you faggot.
>never played dark souls 1
>i just realized that the humanoid guy was a character (a god) and that aldrich is actually that black goop
>also just realized that the big box in the middle of the room where you fight the deacons is aldrich's home or coffin or whatever
>also realized that aldrich is responsible for infecting the hollowed humanoids who have that black lizard monster burst out of them
>>336480265
How did you get black lizard from aldritch?
What evidence do you have?
Souls of cinder is the strongest plot wise :^)
>>336480265
>black lizard monster
Those enemies remind me of manus, I dont think it has anything to do with Aldrich.
It could be that like manus those hallows had a shit ton of humanity at this point in time and mutated like he did.
>>336480265
Your character on Dark Souls isn't Aldrict, stop this retarded theory. Game even states he was a cleric that starting eating humans.
Wouldn't Yhorm be the strongest since you need a special weapon to do any real damage to him?
>>336480970
No point in being the strongest when your a retard that gives your enemies your weakness.
>>336481058
>retard
He wanted you and Sieg to kill him.
>>336481058
Agreed but if we're talking pure strength on a base level Yhorm beats Aldritch
Waaaaaaa!

The only lore I consider canon
Didn't CU slaugtered every gods in DS1?
Does it means Aldrich is CU? Otherwise how could he consume dolin and Nito.
>>336481058
That was literally his plan; to be killed if he went hollow
>>336481851
CU didn't kill optional bosses apparently. I don't think Aldrich ate Nito, only Gwyndolin and maybe Priscilla. Also CU linked the fire and is part of the lord of cinder
>>336480893
He never said this retard
>>336480893
you w0t m8? He never even said that.
>>336481538
It seems silly that Aldrich is built up as this dude who devours men and gods and then when you fight him all he does is use Gwyndolin's magic.
He should be blobbing around the entire arena in a second or third phase and trying to eat your ass.
Aldrich>Yhorm>Watchers>Gay
Not sure about SoC.
>>336480893
He didn't say anything like that though.
>>336478412
This would make sense as to why the abyss watchers were corrupted. Maybe that's wolnir's story too?
>>336480408
>>336480785
i read somewhere that they were part of the deep (the same thing that took gundyr) and i just put tuantu together (since aldrich is from the deep)
can someone dump the comic? I wanna see what the fuck is up with aldricht
>>336482245
I was expecting his main body jump out from dolin's belly.
>>336482245
We catch him mid meal with his mouth full. Not even at his full strength or he'd just eat us without issue.
>>336482275
Aldrich is a fucking blob of shit, how does a powerful sorceror like Gwyndolin even get eaten? Also Lorian and the abyss watchers would obliterate him, maybe Yhorm if Aldrich doesn't sneeze on him first.
>>336482245
I think you just walk in on him at an awkward time when he is still consuming Gywndolin. He'd probably push our shit in otherwise
>>336482245
He absorbs power megaman style. He got ridiculously strong eating humans and got that dark magic shit going. Even though his title is "Devourer of Gods" I'm pretty sure ole Dolin is the only one he's actually eaten. Makes sense he'd spam OP Dark Souls 1 magic when he literally gets the power of a god.
Why is Gwyndolin even still alive, we clearly slapped his ass.
>>336482435
>tuantu together
>>336482563
The pontiff captured gwyndolin before Aldrich even showed back up.
>>336481546
The part about Yohrm being a great guy was pretty funny, mainly because it's accurate.
>>336480408
It's stated on the coiled sword you pull out of Gundyr in the tutorial that it's Aldrich's doing.
>>336482435
Shit nigga you only got 1 int.
I think Aldrich would do a pretty good job in a boss vs boss fight. If you were to get hit by all his attacks you would melt
These things are clearly most powerful beings in Dark Souls universe.
Probably nameless king.
Speaking of, what exactly happens when I pull that fucking lever?
Besides the weather turning to shit.
>>336482674
Safe to assume his death isn't canon since he was optional
>>336482496
Wow, boypussy sure lost his boobs over the years. Unless they were just padding
>>336482382
Also, you can find black slims everywhere for unknown reason.
Maybe that piece of Aldrich separated while he pass through the area.
>>336482674
He's not, same as the dragons that landed in Lothric Castle, he's controlled by Aldrich, a dead husk.
>>336482858
He does seem kitted out to kill things much larger than the player
Like lots of things in DS seem to be
>>336482245
There's an item that specifically states that the deacons in anor londo were protecting Aldrich to make sure he could finish his meal and get back to the cathedral
Aldrich would have been much stronger if he hadn't been caught in the middle of eating Gwyndolin
>>336482862
An easy enemy with an annoying gimmick?
Please
>>336482893
you ring the bell and summon him
nameless king abandoned the archdragon peak after all his followers died due to corruption from the darkness and his remaining ones went insane and stayed on guard even though he couldn't control them anymore
the bell was a way for a worthy challenger/successor to see if they could save the archdragon peak where the nameless king failed
nameless king is a good guy
>>336483002
I meant if he's being eaten by Aldrich right now, that would mean he was probably still alive or his corpse was still fresh just before now
>>336483014
You're telling me gwyndolin was still running shit in a or londo like 5 days before the chosen undead walked in? With the way Dragon lady talked about the death of the darkmoons it makes me think Aldrich had ate him a long long time ago
>>336483002
Gywndolin is alive while he is being eaten by Aldrich. Aldrich's soul states he preferred eating victims alive and you can here Gywndolin moaning if you noclip inside the boss gate.
>>336482862
These are like basilisk. Incredibly intimidating at first but a push over when you get the balls to attack.
>>336478915That's Nito.
>>336482245
>He should be blobbing around the entire arena in a second or third phase and trying to eat your ass
>>336482862

>mfw
>>336483232
You're basically following Aldrich to Anor Londo for the first half of the game
Yorshka just thinks Gwyndolin is ill because that's what the pontiff told her, Gwyndolin was actually captured by him to be eaten by Aldrich once he reached anor londo
THE LAST ROYAL KNIGHT PROTECTING THE ANOR LONDO.
>>336482435
>tuantu
It never fails to be funny when someone who doesn't talk English natively tries to sound out an idiom.
>>336483232
There's some obvious signs that Gwyndolin took over Anor Londo. The whole moon in the sky and Ithryl Valley + Anor Londo becoming cold were a result of him taking over after Gwyn. Remember that Gwyndolin was born under the moon, the area changed when he was in charge.
>>336483548
Right, my real question is how long had Aldrich been eating Gwyndolin before we show up? Walking around it feels like gwyndolin had been out of power for a while.
>>336483518
So aldrich has just been dripping his way up anor londo for ages? How the fuck did he get over the place with the silver knight archers? He'd drip off if he went there
Why silver knights were sided to Deep deacons...
Did they defected?
>>336483534
When I read that I said 'Tuantu' as if it was the name of some kind of Native American Warrior
Not until your post did I actually get what he meant
>>336482479
i would like read this
>>336482435
>tuantu
>>336482674
Gwyndolin is dead the the alternative world where the DS1 mc became a dark lord.
Can someone explain who is Pontiff Sulyvahn and his background? He seems to be very important person in the lore.
>>336483684
We can assume were hot on the trail of Aldritch the whole game so could be an hour or a few minutes when we bust in.
>>336483684
I'd imagine not long. Aldrich only escaped his tomb right before you got to the cathedral, talking with Anri confirms this. Pontif Sully likely was in power before Aldrich showed up though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsa7u3wh7lE
The deepest lore of Souls is that its based on the lyrics of a 90s anime.
>>336482862
>infinite poise man.jpg
>>336483732
he can probably move pretty fast
like in the opening custcene when it looks like he's suddenly expanding
>>336483892
irithyll was at one point a very holy city. he ended up getting corrupted (like everything else in the world) when this age was coming to an end and ended up getting seduced by the Deep and Aldrich.
>>336483892
Dude who showed up in Anor Londo and took over basically. Promised sacrifices to Aldritch in exchange for letting him rule.
My own personal head canon is long struggle between Ithryl and Lothric Castle for control. But that's based on nothing.
>>336481851
>>336482195
My theory is that DS3 takes place in a world/universe where there was no Chosen undead. You know, convoluted worlds and time merging together and such.
>>336484059
It was the flame that seduced him I think, he just used Aldrich as a religion to maintain power.
>>336484040
Still, getting all his liquid all the way over to Anor Londo must have taken a while. I guess the deacons had to carry him in several buckets
>>336483014
Do you remember which item that is?
Aldrich(Finished his meal) vs Nameless King.
Who are you gonna bet?
>>336483313
i dunno i think its gross
>>336483232
But she says she wants to introduce you to him, but he's been gone for a week. She still thinks Colin is alive.
>>336484116
>My theory is that DS3 takes place in a world/universe where there was no Chosen undead.
Why though? There's nothing in the game that would require there not being a CU to make sense. Gwyndolin was just an optional boss and it's not canon the CU killed him. I'm sure many people never even found him in their Dark Souls playthroughs, so it's not a stretch.
>>336484448
Time is convoluted...
>>336484314
nameless for sure
>>336484314
the kang
>>336483732
He can teleport, so maybe he just did that? He's also not constrained like the player is in their path to Anor Lando, he could've just gooped his way up the mountains and shit.
>>336483765
Go back and attack one. They bleed black goo. I think you know what that implies.
>>336483526
Honestly, i think this is my favorite piece of lore in 3. It made me actually like Smough, bless his soul. He was protecting his waifu until the end
>>336483526
I just realized Smough has a thyroid issue. Assuming that his armor resembles the actual person inside, the ballsack neck may actually bea representation of his enlarged thyroid. A common symptom of thyroid issues are a decreased metabolism with causes wieght gain,
So even if Aldrich finished Ashend One, he has to challenge Yhorm, Gays, Dragons, NK and SoC?
What an ordeal...
>>336484583
Fuck off
>>336482858
>tfw xbone can barely run 30fps on this game
>>336484227
I guess I misremembered actually. The item I had in mind was human dregs but it only says that the deacons await his return at the cathedral.
Still it's not difficult to put 2 and 2 together. We know from the human dregs description tat Aldrich will return to the cathedral. There's a lot of deacons in front of Aldrich's boss door in anor londo so it's clear they were protecting him. They're protecting him during his meal and are waiting for him to return
>>336484823
>Assuming that his armor resembles the actual person inside
It doesn't.
>>336484823
He's fit as fuck
>>336484823
He's not fat, the armor is round so you can't get a clean hit in.
>>336481546
This is fucking gold
Thanks anon
>>336484783
So was Smough in one just a illusion?
>>336484963
>>336484960
2 seconds apart
>>336485087
Apparently. That was speculated even before DaS2 was out, let alone 3, which is pretty cool
>>336484960
>>336484963
Witnessed
>>336484960
>>336484963
>>336484997
That makes alot more sense. Ha
Why does Aldrich have a fucking Gravelord Greatsword at the end of his staff?
Why did Pontiff invade Anor Londo?
Where's Priscilla and why do these dumb crowshits in the Path of Sacrifices know about her existence?
Who is the new Darkmoon covenant leader?
Why does Soul of Cinder even exist?
Why are there three Firelink Shrines?
What the fuck happens in Leonhard's questline?
>>336485280
Stop trying to justify your fatass. Stop eating milkshakes.
>>336484960
>>336484963
Actually i'm not sure this drawing is supposed to represent Smough, it's more like concept art showing how a regular person would fit inside his armor
It seems like a running theme is that the cannibal characters are fat, like Aldrich and Smough's armor looking like an obese person
>>336485087
No. He was the only real one.
>>336482435
>(since aldrich is from the deep)
He just had visions of the deep and it scared the shit out of him, leading to him eating gods in order to become strong.
>>336485309
The new Darkmoon leader is Yhorshka
>>336485309
>why am I retarded?
If Aldrich keep continue he must face NK in some point.
I wonder how NK will react when reunite with his little bro's body.
>>336485309
It's not really a gravelord sword I think, it just looks a bit like one
Pontiff basically wants to rule the world along with Aldrich. It's possible he's waiting for the age of sea aldrich had envisioned, or maybe he's simply using Aldrich to maintain his power
dunno about priscilla
the new darkmoon leader is basically yorshka since gwyndolin died
soul of cinder is the current lord of cinder. not sure why he's everyone who linked the flame at once though
dunno
dunno
>>336485530
>>336485657
>Yorshka
Okay, I knew that. But who the fuck is Yorshka? There's no lore about her whatsoever.
>>336485309
>Why does Aldrich have a fucking Gravelord Greatsword at the end of his staff?
He ate Nito.
>>336482496
>Gwyndolin with a belly full of blob
Vore fetish pls
No, Artorias is the strongest LoC
>>336485815
she's priscilla's daughter obviously
>>336481058
Why does the stormruler do pathetic damage to everything else?
It makes no sense
Yhorm is the strongest. He could probably take out the rest combined, unless they had a Storm Ruler.
Abyss Watchers have numbers, they are pretty much a gank squad but individually their power isn't great, no matter how skilled they are.
Aldrich is a giant blob, which is hard to fight against unless you can wipe it all out at once.
Princes are probably the weakest.
>>336485854That's what I believe but everytime I say that everyone calls me retarded
>>336485889
S-Somebody boned my fluffy tail-chan?
>>336483732

yea,no.
>>336483262
>and you can here Gywndolin moaning if you noclip inside the boss gate.
lewd
>>336485815
Yorshka is Ocelotte, adopted by Gwyndolin and raised him as a brother much in the same way he was raised.
Yes, Yorshka is a trap.
>>336485854
Most likely dreamt of Nito in the same way he dreamt of Priscilla since he buffs the staff to have the sword on it
>>336483548
The snow is the result of the painted world expanding into the real world. You also need a doll to access the area like in ds1.
Is all this plot talk serious or you guys just speculating? Where I can read more about the lore of DS3?
>>336486090
according to another anon, they bleed Aldrich goop when struck, so they've been tainted if that's true
>>336485373
Huh?, I was saying that the reference to man inside a suit of armor makes more sense. That being said I do consider that I have a thyroid thing as my metabolism has dropped off. That being said it could just be the beer and lemon cakes.
>>336485412
To be fair to Smough I believe it just says he grounds his victim's bones into his meals, probably not too fattening, and he'd have to be fucking hench to lift that hammer.
K so I didn't see any other 3 threads besides other friends so I'll ask here
Is the crystal sage's rapier worth a damn? I know it has boosted discovery, but I mean as a standalone weapon
So was Nameless disowned by Gwyn for siding with the dragons or did he do that after he was disowned?
I forgot what the description in DaS1 says exactly.
>>336486151
Descriptions of items, dialogue
Don't listen to /v/, actually there's a shit ton of evidence supporting our theories
>>336482435
>i just put tuantu together
What did he mean by this?
>>336486134
Why does he have Nito's cloak? Did he dream of his cloak and then made it himself?
>>336485854
Nito was killed in 1, his soul put into the lord vessel, then when it was shattered and his soul set free he became The Rotten. This was confirmed in NG+ in 2.
>>336486176
Yeah but I think cannibalism represents gluttony in miyazaki's mind or something
I thought the deacons had the best and creepiest atmosphere for a boss-fight, easy as fuck to fight but having like 100000 priests dressed up in catholic garb looks creepy as fuck.
>>336486267
Nameless was disowned for falling in love with a dragon during the war and fucking said dragon. It's how Priscilla came into existence. After being disowned he just fucked off to live with them
>>336486251
It's OK for a high INT build, but then a Crystal Estoc is better for that anyway.
>>336486353
Yeah you're probably right actually, now that I think the butchers in the Depths were cannibals and fat as hell, pretty sure Mildred had max bodysize too.
>>336485309
>Why does Aldrich have a fucking Gravelord Greatsword at the end of his staff?
Worked as his servant.
>Why did Pontiff invade Anor Londo?
Pure ambition.
>Where's Priscilla and why do these dumb crowshits in the Path of Sacrifices know about her existence?
Still inside the paintings?
>Who is the new Darkmoon covenant leader?
Yorsika.
>Why does Soul of Cinder even exist?
Self-defense system?
Not sure why other 4 lords didn't consumed by SoC.
>Why are there three Firelink Shrines?
They are all same place, part of first kiln.
The more mysterious thing is what was that Pizza oven in DaS 2, it just disappeared without any trace.
>What the fuck happens in Leonhard's questline?
He is literally Motherfucker.
>>336486462
thats headcanon bullshitbut i like it
>>336486309
I don't know I just think it's a possibility
I mean, it he did eat nito why would he make a spell version of it instead of using the real deal
>>336482501
Don't think so, what evidence is there for this? Pretty sure Aldrich had been there for a while. He just used Gwyndolin as a puppet.
>>336486339
I like to think that Aldrich is Nito. From a mass of bones, to a mass of flesh, to a formless mass.
I always liked the idea of the lords being reincarnations of the previous lords.
>>336486360
Speaking of that I'm sort of surprised that no Islamics got super butthurt about it
>>336478278
Here is my best guess on Lord of Cinder power rankings in universe.
>Abyss Watchers > Yhorm > Aldritch > Ludleth > Twin Princes
Abyss Watchers are literally a small army of undead. They couldnt be killed permenantly by any of the other Lords of Cinder and they are each pretty powerful individually. Abyss Watchers at their peak could probably beat every other LoC.
Yhorm comes next becauses he next to unstoppable with the Stormruler.
Aldritch because hes a powerful god eater but I cant see him beating Yhorm or the full Legion.
Ludleth is next because hes suppose to be a very powerful mage character and supposedly created the Firelink Shrine hub area through his own power.
Finally we have the Twin Princes. Two crippled faggots that never did anything besides lay in bed.
I was hoping the Lords of Cinder would have been much more powerful and awe inspiring, since they have the mettle to link the flame. Instead what we got was a bunch of faggots killing eachother, a cripple manlet, two sickly cripples, Gwyndolin fleshworm, and Memelord Yhorm the Giant Gimmick.
All the Lords of Cinder felt like a bunch of pushovers in game. Only one that gave me trouble was Aldritch and that was just his RNG fucking tracking instant kill arrows. I beat him in one try on my second playthrough though.
>>336483732
He got helped by Sulyvahn. Some say he sent Aldrich to eat him and others say he just teleported Anor Londo right above Irthyl. The fact that you fight him right before Aldrich it's a dead give away that they're planing something
>>336486309
It's not Nito's cloak. In fact i'm not even sure Nito's was supposed to be a cloak in the first place. It could be rotting skin and flesh still attached to the bones, which I think is what the "cloak" on Aldrich is
>>336486603
Did you even pay attention to the game? The entire first half is us on Aldrich's trail, right behind him the whole time. Anri confirms this several times.
>>336486616
>islamics
theyre called deacons
theyre dressed in fucking catholic garb
New Vaati video when?
>>336486928

its always been a dark souls trope though that you basicly just fight crippled big guys who are nothing but the shadow of their past anymore
Why is Anor Londo in Irythyll? Was it always there and survived thousands of years? Is it more time fuckery bullshit and realities being compressed? Did Aldtrich summon it?
What's the consensus here?
>>336486867
I think he meant irl muslims from the resemblance of the structure they're by to Mecca.
>>336486616
>you will never run into this crowd with the farron greatsword L1 spam
>>336486683
I didn't find them pushovers at all except for Yhorm when I realized the trick, but I guess I'm just not as hardcore as you anon.
>>336486616
I wonder how they'll react to there being Arabic in Archdragon Peak.
>>336483981
But you see him leave his coffin in the intro CS and we know the unkindled aren't called unless the lords don't return to their thrones and fuck off. We don't really know how much time passes between the lords rising from the dead and the player doing the same.
>>336478278
>this bastard corrupted gwyndolin
>>336487085
Im not trying to brag but we fight two Abyss Watchers in a room with like 50 corpses.
Yhorm is incredibly easy with the stormruler. That only leaves Aldritch and the Twin Princes that gave me any trouble. Its just not what I was hoping for.
>>336478278
Bed of Chaos is stronger than a fully powered Gwyn
>>336485087
DUDE ILLUSIONS LMAO
Meh, to me Aldrich was a disappointment; i was expecting something like an octopus, or a kraken, or even a blob multi-armed thing like Nightmare in Devil May Cry. Instead i got a pretty boy on a single worm body with a schye that spammed magic; good on a lore pow, but as i said, disappointing gameplaywise.
>>336487316
>but we fight two Abyss Watchers in a room with like 50 corpses.
But they infinitely spawn in the first phase?
The first phase is pretty easy if you just let them kill each other, but the second phase was pretty tough I found.
But yeah like >>336486989 said.
>>336483892
He's an asshole. Basically he was just a wizard warrior until he found the Profane Flame near the Profaned Capital. He then decide to became Pontiff using the cult of Aldrich to gain power. While feeding children to Aldrich, he took over Anor Londo and recruit the Dancer to make her a spy to keep an eye on Lothric's reign. Of course before sending her and Vordt he gave them his rings who corruptem them into making the boss you fight. And he did the same thing for every other soldier who was sent in Lothric. He also imprisoned Yorshka into the tower and (may be a strech) was probably gonna feed her to Aldrich. If you didn't stop him he would have probably stopped the unklinded to gather the lords and let the deep take over
>>336484314
Nameless is still the First born of Gwyn. Would be a hell of a fight but he would still win
>>336487142

>>336487646
>But they infinitely spawn in the first phase?
It's always the same ones that repop. If you look closely, the ones you kill come back, it's not new abysswatchers.
I assumed that Aldrich was actually Gwyndolin being consumed by the abyss, and also getting bored and cleaning up
>>336486821
"Right on his trail" could be year and years

I need to start using this
Aldrich is what happens when your vore fetish is so great that you destroy the world and swallow your trap bf whole
>>336484908
Fair enough.
I still would have rather had the Aldrich fight we got and then perhaps another phase where he 'discards' Gwyndolin's body and just goes full on Blob the Bossfight on you.
>>336485309
>Where's Priscilla and why do these dumb crowshits in the Path of Sacrifices know about her existence?
I don't know what you are referencing because I have only beaten the game one time, but there are crows in the Painted World of Ariamis. I'm not sure if the enemies are related, though.

good luck killing abyss watchers in their prime seeing as they could obliterate entire nations
or aldrich, seeing as he's kirby from the abyss and can eat fucking gods
or yhorm, considering he's already hard as fuck without the storm ruler fespite being an insane shell of his former self
>>336486992
Dunno but I think Irythill could be anor londo. It's just that instead of there being a sun it's a moon, since Gwyndolin is in charge and doesn't rely on gwynevere's illusion anymore. Gwyndolin is called "a god of the old royalty" so supposedly he was also related to Lothric
>>336488204
the profaned capital was built on the Things Betwixt area of dark souls 2
if you could get to the crack in the wall in the distance you would get to Majula
More than half of the DaS 3 plot is talking about Aldrich, who could have predicted that slime blob from first trailer play such a important role.
In contrast, Yhorm who showed most presense in first trailer was not outstanding in actual game.
>>336486992
I think it's straight up Anor Londo. I think the frozen atmosphere can be attributed to simple cause and effect. Dolin is the last god in power and has the authority to govern the fucking moon and just has it be night all the time and the temperatures plummet. Turning Londo Land into a nice icy self-contained frost pocket right in the middle of everything.
>>336488460
no, majula and drangleic are on the other side of the planet
profaned capital was likely built over new londo, which also has a giant crack in the ceiling
I hate people saying that aldrich ate gyndolin and nito. They fucking died in DaS.
>>336488476
I think Aldrich looked really interesting in the trailer actually and I'm glad he turned out the way he did. Yhorm was disappointing though, I agree
>>336488678
ok anon
>>336488678
gwyndolin was canonically eaten by aldrich and so canonically didn't die since he was optional anyways
>>336483767
Shit new DS3 character name and build right there.
Get ready for Tuantu to Gether.
>>336488678
Gwyndolin being eaten is literally in several item description. Not like it isn't fucking obvious from the fight itself
Nito wasn't eaten though, that would make no sense
>>336488818
i see how it doesnt make sense though whats with the nito coat then and the music having bits of the nito theme in it? thats impossible to be just coincidential and also would be too out of place for just being a meaningless reference
>>336488074
Aldrich was just REALLY hungry
when they said they are done with dark souls they just ment the dark souls cyclus, eh?
the true ending with the flame finally fading is already heavily foreshadowing a new flame. age of the deep sea when?
>>336488974
I didn't notice the bits of Nito's theme in the song, can you point them out?
>>336489121
Would be pretty sexy if Aldrich kept Dolin as his new body and ate people, bulging out that trap stomach, hnnnnng
>>336489368
age of the deep sea is just a translation error. its just pure darkness/abyss in the world.
>>336489448
theres no error
>>336489121
Fix the font and change the caterpillar's color to be like aldrich and it's good
>>336488204
The profaned flame is what's left of the Flame of Chaos.
>>336486090
The Silver Knights are illusions made by Gwyndolin just like in Dark Souls 1, Aldrich is using fuccboi's powers to make Silver Knights.
>>336487480
Nito is more powerful than BoC
>>336486309
>>336486589
It's possible that Aldrich could be the reincarnation of Nito, like how all those fucks in DaS2 were reincarnations.
>>336489448
Age of the Deep is Bloodborne ayylien age, that's why Pontiff turns people into beasts, they're basically the beginnings of the Healing Church.
Dolin is cuter and more Goddess like after death.
Aldrich is a really underrated boss I think
Following him to Anor Londo, being confused initally then realizing the extent of what he did during the fight is one of the most memorabe moments in the game for me
Everyone is gone.
>>336490201
Why is she smiling?
>>336482195
CU is a filthy casual
>>336489428Anon, stop. I can't fap right now
>>336491469
Isn't that idea so fucking hot though? Holy hell, trap vore is beyond sexy
>>336484227
Pretty sure its a ring, but a random one at that. You find it in Anor Londo though.
So wait
Gywndolin is there because he isn't done eating him yet. So why does he do what aldich commands?
I know this is a stealth Dark Souls 3 lore thread but King Vendrick from Dark Souls 2 is probably one of the strongest characters in their Universe. The mere fact that he can one shot you and you need to collect like 5 Giant Souls just do adequate damage is a testament to that.
I mean, just imagine if he wasn't hollow.
>>336491776
Imagine if Gwyn wasn't hollow.
>>336491773
Maybe he just hates the unkindled one so much that even as he's half digested, he tries to kill you
>>336491773
He's dead, being digested from the inside-out. All you're seeing is a Gwnydolin shaped puppet with a big sludge worm controlling it.
>>336491773
He's being controlled from the inside. He doesn't have the strength to fight back against Aldrich, being half eaten and all
>>336491773
I assumed Aldy finished eating him a long time ago and choose to use his appearence
>>336492080
Nope. he moans and screams during the fight
>>336491853
>Imagine if Aldrich wasn't in the middle of eating!!!
>Imagine if Artorius was full strength!!!
>Imagine if...
Why are these games and bosses so trash? and why do people explain them away as an artistic choice?
>>336492416
No, that's his actual body you're seeing sticking out of Aldrich. He's also supposed to come back to the cathedral once he's done eating him, so it follows that he isn't done yet
>Be Wolnir
>Become KING OF FUCKING EVERYTHING, a feat not achieved ever
>Aldrich randomly passes by and just throws Wolnir into the fucking abyss, alongside a great sword, some clerics, some skeletons
>>336491853
>>336491776
Gwyn was fuck strong at full power. The Gwyn you face is someone who burned the majority of his soul to sustain life in the world.
>>336492548
>The boss didn't kill me 10 times so it's trash
ok
>>336492479
Dead bodies are capable of making sounds too, anon. It's called gas.
>>336492609
He's just the king of carthus. He's a warlord whose tribe manaed to beat the others. Also I doubt Aldrich is related to what happened to him
>>336492694
>The boss didn't offer me any challenge at all so it's trash.
I'm glad we can agree.
Seriously though I'm not trying to sound like some le ebin badass souls player but it is the 3rd (5th if we cound demon and bloodborn) so 60% of the game being newb friendly was really dissapointing since I've got gud by now.
>>336492609
>princess
that reminds me of getting spoilered of the lothric boss that is said to be the twin princes but i read it as twin princess. the boss fight kind of confused me as a result of that
>>336492819
I don't think it sounds like this though. Nor is it so frequent. The sounds Gwyndolin makes are like a death rattle
>>336489796
I thought these ones were real since they are not disappearing after you kill them like they did in the first game.
>>336487142
Need a translator.
What does it say?
>>336492548
Every game takes place at the end of an age. All the previous holders of power are losing it and many of them near-death. It's kind of the central theme to the entire series, retard.
>>336492928
The dark souls games are all like this. most of the bosses in DS1, DS2, and BB are easy. Doesn't stop me from enjoying the games and the bosses. Not everything has to be super hard all the time
>>336492652
>>336492548
>>336491853
Well that was pretty much rectified with Nameless King. He's essentially Gwyn at full power.
Including all souls can we all agree that lore wise this nigga is the strongest?
He is literally a God and to beat it you need to become literally a God too.
>>336493097
Nameless King is just Gwyn's God of War son. He's not as strong as Gwyn.
Plot wise he's pretty much the primary villain of the game, even if he's killed 2/3rds of the way through.
>>336493016
>something something railways
>something something minister
>something something egypt
I think it's gibberish
>>336493128
>He is literally a God and to beat it you need to become literally a God too.
That's all the games. You start as a mere undead human but you gain more souls you become a Demi-God.
>>336484536
Because Aldrich has Nito's stuff, orinstein leaving anorlondo to go get meet up with Nameless king and smough being the last remaining knight before Aldrich came up in there.
>>336493128
He is conceptually very strong. But he is a weak walk over compared to his power level once the concept can be ignored.
>Archdragon peak isn't even real
>you just fall asleep on a little perch in a silly pose and imagine fighting some dragons, Havel and Gwyn's son
Wish my dreams were as bitching as this tbqh lads
>>336486683
Keep in mind, there are no "Gods" like Nito and whoever left in Lordran, theyre souls got taken to Drangliec (if you believe they are two different nations) so kindling the flame isnt too difficult of a task.
>>336493128
But Dragon God is more literally a god. And he's a lot bigger and is bound for the duration of the fight and weaker for that.
And he has more fingers.
>>336484783
>no tits
He has tits, goddamnit. Why don't fan artists ever get this shit right?! It's very important!
>>336493376
Besides your ass, where are you pulling this info from?
>>336493376
>Because Aldrich has Nito's stuff,
Aldrich ate the remains of Nito.
Anyone else find it weird that a Mid-Game boss like Aldrich has infinitely more build up than the fucking Soul of Cinder? He's like Seath the Scaleless; Directly responsible for most of the events of the game, but somehow not that big a deal from a plot standpoint.
>>336493039
>its meant to be shit!!!
nice one you lobotomised cretin.
>>336493073
I suppose. I really enjoyed the nameless king fight because it was both thematically and lore wise brilliant and also very difficult. I just like it when it gets my heart racing. Was disappointed to learn that NK was the climax of the game sinc soul of cinder was such a pushover in comparison and in terms of aggression and general gwyn rehashiness.
>>336493128
If they gave Moon Presence 3 times as much health and made his attack actually deal damage he would have been a great boss
>>336486683
>>Abyss Watchers are literally a small army of undead. They couldnt be killed permenantly by any of the other Lords of Cinder and they are each pretty powerful individually. Abyss Watchers at their peak could probably beat every other LoC.
>>336488396
Too bad they all got infected by Aldrich and are busy killing each other. Legion are the weakest of the bunch. Nice try, Artorias fanboys.
>>336493427
stop this meme
>>336490781
Aldrich ate her dick. She's finally a real lady.
there's an area in ithryll that's basically a museum of Anor Londo. Same architecture, bunch of paintings of Gwynevere, silver knights, ect. but there is also a portrait of Nashandra there. What's up with that?
