I wonder if DLC will show who allfather lloyd actually is, he's sounded so important in ds1 and in ds3 he has expanded lore
>>339261338
Lloyd was a bitch, Carim knows what's up
What was Pope Sully`s final goal?
I think that DS3 characters have lack of motivaion. They did shit just because. Probably only Ludleth expained why burnd himself and created new firelink.
Sully and Lothric responsible for everything went to shit in DaS3, but game never even hinted why they both so fucking bad.
>>339261440
His title was self-proclaimed, was a rumor in the church
Not a beta bitch, pretty alpha if he made himself the boss
>>339261627
Sully doesn't like the fire, everything he does is to further the goal of stopping the flame from being linked
>dispatch outrider knights to block choke points in the Unkindled's path
>purge Anor Londo of any and all influences of the old fire-worshiping gods
>corrupt the Church to worship humanity instead of fire
>convince Lothric not to link the flame

>>339261627

For what purpose. He can live long and happy life in functioning kingdom. Instead of this he was killed by some random idioit with 2 sunbros.

>>339255678
Actually OP, he did something wrong.
He gave the only entrance to his kingdom to the fucking Deacons of the Deep. One of the easiest boss fights in the game.
He didn't even put a single dog there to protect them, or any of his knights for that matter.
what's the lore behind Yhorm the Giant?
>>339264770
>the doll to get back into Irithyll depicts a darkmoon knight
what does it mean?
>>339264904
Maybe it's because Irithyll's shield was a Darkmoon covenant spell to protect the nobility and Sullyvanh just grabbed the key
Like in Age of Empires 2 when you destroy an AI's gate and you build your own and the AI doesn't know how to destroy its own walls
>>339264807
He's a giant called Yhorm.
>>339264770
Well to be fair that area was pretty hard by itself. One of the hardest in the game.
>>339264807
Just another oversized throne I bet

>>339266138
what's so bad about the Profaned Flame that Yhorm burned himself alive to try and stop it? What even is it?
Also, whatever he tried clearly didn't work
why his machete suck ball at pvp
>>339266235
It's the Old Chaos from DS 2
Yhorm just burned him to link the flame
>>339266235
I just assume it's another "great power" like the First Flame was, or maybe "profaned" would be referring to the Izalith witches creating some fucked up corrupted version of fire to make Chaos.
Infact I would bet money that "Profaned Flame" is just another word for the Chaos the witches created, referred to that way by people thousands of years later.
>>339266486
>link the fire to stop another fire
Why was a weak midgame boss so hyped up? It's like as if the first half of Dark Souls was full of references to the fucking Iron Golem.
>>339266709
He was probably one of the hardest bosses in the game, and he's hollow. Most of the things he accomplished were mostly through his political power anyway
>>339266709
>Iron "whoops I fell off my own rooftop" Golem
>anywhere near as difficult as Pontiff
nah
>>339266486
>>339266492
Chaos is dead, the flame is extinguished and the demons are dying. See: Soul of a Demon
Some facts about the Profaned Flame:
>it has the Abyss in it. See Andre's dialogue when you hand him the Profaned Coal
>the Profaned Coal allows for Dark, Hollow infusions
>the Profaned Flame pyromancy does not deal dark damage like Black Flame, Black Fire Orb, etc.
the Profaned Flame has the Abyss in it. Yet, it isn't pure dark like a TRUE abyssal fire. It's got other stuff in it too -- it's Abyss + _____
>the Profaned Flame was created as a curse cast by "relatives of a certain oracle" -- Eleonora
>the Profaned Flame burns human flesh, and ONLY human flesh -- Profaned Flame pyromancy
>the only people who weren't consumed by the Profaned Flame were the casters -- Eleonora
>Eleonora is dropped by the hippo monsters in the Profaned Capital, who are called Monstrosities of Sin
>Monstrosities of Sin are described as malformed (mutated) inhabitants of the Profaned Capital
So you've got this cursed fire, that laser-targets humanity like a nuke, and the only things it doesn't kill it mutates horribly. In addition, the only character in the Souls series with the title "Oracle" is Alsanna, who was watching over the chaos flame.
The Profaned Flame seems to have some similarities with Chaos, although it's mutagen properties could also derive from the Abyss inside it.
In conclusion, it's either an unholy combination of Abyss + normal fire, or Abyss + chaos fire
>>339266568
hey, when you're dumping souls into the Flame you're essentially doing the same thing. Souls are basically fire in this series, so the idea of "toss a fire into another fire to get rid of it" has precedent
>>339255678
You're into vore.

It's also implied he's the reason the Abyss watchers fell to the abyss.

Why are all souls bosses giant-looking?
I'm serious.
>>339268386
Because it's menacing, they're figuratively larger than life. It's a Japanese thing.
>>339268386
Souls makes you huge in dark souls world.
>>339268386
hueg souls
+Miyazaki stated that he makes bosses huge just to make them look tougher
so there's only, like, 1/4 of a thought put into it
>>339268386
Because it's really hard to make 5-6ft tall enemies imposing/scary
>>339268386

No, that was aldia
How would a whip or caestus run be like in ds3? Besides extremely painful.
>>339268119
Only hard boss is Nameless King. And desu his harder phaseis the dragon with a melee character. I swear hitting his head feels weird as fuck sometimes.
>ok im close this should hot -misses-

The perception is weird on that phase.
>>339268684
No, that was Sully
>Soul Stream: Sorcery imparted by the first of the Scholars, when Lothric and the Grand Archives were but young.
"imparted" does not mean "discovered." imparted just means Taught.
the First Scholar did not invent soul stream, they merely found it and taught it to the princes.
In addition, "first scholar" and "scholar of the first sin" are not the same phrase. "first scholar" is just the original scholar of the grand archives. "scholar of the first sin" is any scholar who studied a particular event called the first sin. Hell, Aldia isn't even the First Scholar of the First Sin, since Gwydolin and Frampt were studying that shit before he even existed.

ok, so I don't have a picture collage ready, so bear with me, since posting all of my pics will take several posts:
This is pontiff sulyvahn. The statue clearly shows his unique greatsword. My next post will make this link more clear, but for now, it's time to accept the idea that Sulyvahn is native to Lothric, not to Irithyll, and he dwelled there before heading abroad.
>>339268386
>>339268486
>>339268510
>>339268534
Which is ironic because the greatest weakness of big enemies in this series is that you can just stand under their swings

Consider this pic, which is apparently a duplicate of mine, so 4chan freaked out when I was about to post. >>339262219
Now you might be thinking: "but that greatsword is just an error. From was lazy and just patched in the PG in place of a generic model, right?"
That might be true, but it ALSO depicts his unique jewelry. Sword on it's own might be laziness, but sword + bracelet? No. This was on purpose.
Sulyvahn was obviously a hotshot in Lothric, getting statues made of himself and shit.
>>339269482
no
>>339269713
>>339269434
>>339269116
Now consider Pontiff's clothing (see the OP). Note that it's unlike the blue and white robes that the rest of the deacons use -- it's a torn up and scaled up version of pic related.
Sulyvahn was obviously in the employ of the Archives, since he wears their uniform. Considering that he was also someone important, and that he ALSO hates the Fire, we conclude that he was the scholar who convinced Lothric and Lorian not to do their duty as Lords (since that scholar ALSO doubted the linking of the fire)

so, does that imply that Aldia, and ONLY Aldia ever used or had knowledge of the spell? you fucking dummy, CSS was an invention of Logan yet people shit that spell out all over the place in DaS3
As a side note, does it's existence imply that CU completed Logan's questline?
>>339270124

>so, does that imply that Aldia, and ONLY Aldia ever used or had knowledge of the spell?
No, but in terms of Dark Souls story-telling, it's a slam dunk. The First Scholar is Aldia. That's as explicit as the series gets.

Attention ALL citizens of Lothric Castle! This is an urgent message from the High Priestess!
Lately, our fine kingdom has been plagued with a strange new faith of worshiping the "Angels." The worship of these "angels," or Serpents, as you know them, are presenting severe problems for your rightful Lords. The Crown will now provide a quick how-to guide for interacting with the Serpents, to clear up any confusion
>DO respect the noble Serpent's advice
>DO edify the Serpents in statuary and coinage, as befits the station of noble ambassadors to the Crown
>DO NOT worship the Serpents as Gods
Worship of these serpents offends the High Priestess, the Way of White, and any loyal citizens of the kingdom. Report any and all instances of "Angelic worship" to the local constabulary. Such heresy WILL NOT be tolerated within our borders. Such is the decree of the 3 pillars of rule.

>>339273215
She wanted the Throne of Want, which depending on which theory you adhere to, either made the world as you wanted it to be, or showed the world as you wanted to see it.
Both of these implies that it makes you the "True Monarch" that Aldia keeps talking about, and you link the fire to become the ruler of the next cycle.
>>339274624
>either made the world as you wanted it to be, or showed the world as you wanted to see it.
Which interestingly, is what happened with Aldrich.
>>339274624
>she wanted the throne of want
but the part I don't get is this: So after you get the giant's kinship for her, she challenges you to a 1v1 duel. Why do this? You've just spent all game getting so tough that you could do all the shit she was incapable of doing -- that's why she needed you in the first place. Doesn't she realize that this process would, by definition, make you WAY stronger than her? She should have realized that 1v1ing you was suicide
>>339275182
She doesn't have a choice. She's gotta sit on that throne.
>>339275295

She's likely one of Gwynevere's daughters so being XBOX HUEG might be in the family.
>>339276978
Honestly that would be fucking excellent. It's Dark Souls, not Kawata Shoujo
>>339275182
>>339275820
Aldia and Vendrick did everything in their power to keep her from getting the Throne of Want. To get to the Throne she needed to get the Ashen Mist, then go defeat the Giant Lord and get the Kinship, then defeat the Throne Watcher / Defender. Since she's not Undead like the player, why risk multiple fights? Especially since the Ancient Dragon is one of the most brutal fights in the game.
>>339277220
Why would Sulyvahn be running around in Lothric's swaddling clothes?
>>339277284
Gwynevere wasn't actually that tall bro, Gwyndolin just made her illusion hueg because he's into giantesses
>>339277479
because they both wore robes of prayer, for prayer.
>>339277493
We have no idea what Gwynevere's actual size is. Just that she has giant tits
>>339277478
but then why risk the riskiest fight of them all: fighting the guy who just won all of those fights, solo, with no support
>>339277493
But her couch and pillow still exist after the illusion is dispelled and they remain fucking huge.
>>339277602
>>339277671
yeah, cuz Gwyndolin built a real couch to have his illusion sit on
>>339277602
>Just that she has giant tits
May be tits is just a result of Gwyndolin`s incestual fantasies.
>>339277642
Because on top of all of that, she's obviously arrogant and prideful, thinking she's basically won, and is more powerful than she actually is.
>>339277493
Because the best way to fool people into believing the gods haven't abandoned you is making your illusions 5x their actual size.
Yeah, that makes sense.

like hell
you need FIVE (5) Lords of Cinder combined to link the flame at the end of DaS3, while the CU did it all by his lonesome, and any of the Old Gods could have done the same as Gwyn, individually.
Each LoC in DaS3 is only 1/5 as strong as any of the major players of DaS1

>BotC is last

>>339278803
Dudes who linked the fire > those whose souls were used by dudes who linked the fire
Also the Soul of Cinder can actually throw Gwyn's Sunlight Spears, unlike Gwyn
>>339279005
except no, since the end of DaS3 shows that all 5 of those LoC embers only amounted to a small simmer in the flame, while the CU produced an xboxhueg explosion.
the world is decaying. no matter how many times you link the fire, you can't hold back entropy.
>>339278803
You need five because the Fire is so weak that that's the required kindling necessary for it to last for a few seconds

>>339278859
I see no problem with that considering thatmost of Dark Souls II's bosses are piss easy.
Seriously though, what makes Bearer of the Curse significant compared to the other protags?
>>339279143
didn't pose a problem in DaS1, when the fire was so weak it caused the sun to snuff out entirely
>>339279145
>you can actually summon a Young Sulyvahn to the final boss fight
>he does the "Welcome" gesture when summoned
>>339279145
I thought that the profaned capital was long destroyed by the time sully found it
Did boreal valley existed in DS1?
>>339279167
He shows us ways to try and circumvent the fire/dark cycle. Whether those attempts (and Aldia's) are important to DS3 remains to be seen. At present, little is shown to imply the Bearer of the Curse did anything lasting.
>>339280129
yes it was just lower anor londo
>>339279167
He grinds the Giant Lord for sick soul gainz. He grinds him so much it's most probably canon.
>>339279167
The rating would go
Hunter
Slayer
Bearer
Ashen
Chosen
If we're going by the ending that gives the most power, instead of determining power level by the challenge level of the bosses. Hunter gets reality warping powers by becoming an Old One, and Slayer obtains the power of The Old One. None of the DS protagonists have access to an infinite supply of souls, but Bearer of the Curse is essentially immortal and has access to the biggest source of wisdom(Aldia), as well as the most access to magic. Ashen One is pretty much stronger than Chosen Undead since he killed his essence, and Chosen Undead was only used as a tool for the snakes. He did kill "Gods", but they were all husks of their original selves.

You beat me to it anon
>>339255678
am I the only one who had literally no trouble with this boss? I keep hearing that he was hard only to fucking face roll him with every build I've done so far.
>>339259872
A break is a break anon, you can't have half a break.

>triggered by smuganimeface.jpg in 2003 + 13
Wow.
>>339256281
this show is the absolute worst
Ashen one is the most powerful as he literally kills the avatar of every single person to have linked the flame, and he kills four lords of cinder, people who are effectively the same level as the chosen undead from dark souls 1.
The hardest thing about the nameless king fight is the camera, why do people think this is a fun boss. Pontiff is better, dancer is better. I think because people like him as a character. the same with Artorias, his fight was garbage. Lord of the Abyss fight was better.

Whyd this happen?

>posting best girl

WTF was up with Anor Londo in DS1 anyway? All the demons and the sun and the knights and everything are illusory and this is an attempt to hide the true nature of the Chosen Undead's journey from him, right? Trick him into linking the fire.
Was this supposed to be a functional city before the gods lost their minds? Seems like it. And it clearly isn't anymore. But were the demons and sentinels and knights all there and acting like that before things went to shit? We're basically looking at a post-apocalyptic city here.
So was Gwyndolin just trying to hide the nature of the world's death from the CU, and make it seem like they were gonna be the new king of the gods? Why the deception?
Also were O&S in on it? Were they illusions too? Were they real but also being lied to by Gwyndolin to guard a hologram?
>>339281810
You can knock some sense into them at super low HP, and they just lay down and beg for death.
>>339282481
Also was anyone else annoyed that dispelling the illusion in Anor Londo didn't make the entire rest of the world dark? Would've been an amazing touch if it was permanently night in Firelink and the Burg and Sen's after you did that.
