He didn't deserve death.
Only in the Shakespearean sense.
>>339243947
He didn't, but what he does deserve is a good dicking down.
I didn't kill him I just devoured him.
>>339243947
He deserved to get dicked down so hard he'd die from a quadruple orgasm. So, in a sense, you're wrong.

Nah, he deserved to die.

How do you make your friends appreciate poybussy?
>>339246115
I thought he would be the final boss from everything the game was saying. Even just the crestfallen guy saying aldrich was turned into a LOC from strength alone near the start.
>>339245518
>those moans
So it's pretty clear now that the top part of Gwyndolin's body was still alive, but Aldrich was controlling him through his damaged anus.
He became a completely broken Prince.
Was he totally deprived for so long that at the slightest touch he became a slave to Aldrich?
What would Yorshka think this of all this...
>>339245518
HOW FUCKING LEWD
>>339246425
He isn't very flat chested.
>>339244337
Where the fuck is based Pontiff in that image?
>>339243947
He needed it though. His story is tragic so death was probably a nice release.
>>339246849
too cute
Do you think gwyndolin put up a fight at least before getting snacked on?
>>339243947
so you hate him or you dont i dont understand?
in dark souls world everybody wants to die because if they dont they become undead then hollow.by saying he didnt deserve death you say he should have gone hollow. soyou want bad for him or dont i just dont understand

>Aldrich's VA
Why can he act like soo bitch?
Gwyndolin deserved his fate, but the only Lord who didn't deserve his fate was Nito.
He did literally nothing wrong.

Nameless King, the forgotten firstborn of Lord Gwyn. Purposelessly removed from recordings and history because he liked dragons and Gwyn fucking hated dragons.
>>339247648
Something about the Profaned Flame made him go "I want that shit" and then things with south. Fuck knows why he decided to mutilate Gwendolyn and his own knights though. I don't know how that progressed his plan any further.
>>339247763
Eating Gwendolyn gave him memories of Priscilla, implying the Gwendolyn knew of Priscilla's existence. However, we don't know what happened to Priscilla as the painting is nowhere to be found.
>>339247648

Gwynevere is Rosaria tho
>>339248001
Real Gwynevere is still that size. Everything about the furniture in her areas implies it.
>>339248064
I'm not certain if Nameless King was mad/hollow. It seemed like he was kind of doing his own shit and then the Ashened One showed up.
And I'm not sure where the fuck Gwynevere went. It was made clear that she fucking left town pretty hard.
>>339247920
>implying Gwyndolin even knows what is a vagina
Guy was surrounded by tall, sweaty knights for his entire life, if he ever saw Priscilla's honey pot he'd probably start crying thinking that it is a wound.
>>339248140
I just assumed she's normal sized due to her statues.
>>339248149
The sadness he showed for his mount being killed suggests he was still himself.
>>339248149
He's got no eyes.
>>339248140
All the furniture apart from the one in the chamber of the princess is normal sized, and the princess in the chamber is a fake.

He saw memories of her from devouring gwyndolin and used his stolen power to make a knockoff of her lifehunt ability. Never implies he found her.

>>339248542

Gwyndolin ended up knighting Smough in the end so I guess he wasn't so bad.
>>339248393
>>339247853
Does Gwyndolin really always have those snakes instead of legs?
I always assumed that was just a spell/part of the illusion you have going on in the fight with him.

What we did see of profaned capital looked great though. All those piles of silver and gold and dead bodies.
>>339248542
In chronological order.
Nameless King thought dragons were cool and got disowned. Wasn't hollow at time of death.
Gwynevere liked the fiery dick and left town. If anything, has the best chance at being the only member of the family still alive.
Gwyn reignited the fire by dousing himself in gasoline. Hollow.
Gwyndolin got left alone with strangers and got inspected for radiation. Dead.
Surviving family members:
Yorshka (either adopted or Gwyn secretly liked dragon cloaca)
>>339248621
>>339248360
Kinda pushing this a bit hard. Dark Souls 2 had a whole new pantheon of gods as detailed by the ring, and all memories and traces of the kingdom of Anor Londo had long since faded.

Firelink Shrine. It's the statue that Andre was originally gonna be able to move it, since he was planned to be a descendant of Gwyn
>>339248840
Gwyndolin x Priscilla makes the most sense. They were both the only ones left in anor londo, and if the painted world was destroyed and it's inhabitants forced out they would have encountered each other.
'
The large grave stone outside anor londo watched over by a single corvian may be Priscilla's.

They do if they're pushing Faraam as the Nameless King's name.

Not that anon but the Faraam helm depicts the Nameless King presenting his lightning dong to his dragon waifu, its practically canon.

That's why.
Human's were a mistake.
>>339246718
He's not apart of the church really. He took over it when it arrived in irithyll and named himself Pope.
It's why the archdeacon seems to be trapped in a hole with two pontiff hounds.
>>339249124
There's still DLC.
>>339248913
Why are all the other members of the family "normal" humanoids then? I don't see Gwyn having bull horns or Gwynevere having scales.
>>339249120
Literally just a guy fighting a dragon
>>339248673
He was also the last knight remaining at his post so he had exceprtional power and loyalty, even if it seemed he was just a fat murderer.

>and to explain Yorshka.
priscilla has nothing to do with yorshka. yorshka is explained in das3 through several inferences and if you read books you will catch the inferences and put things together like they're meant to be put together.
a lot of the speculation in these games is people not putting things together that you're obviously supposed to be together, because people don't read books and don't have that literary skill.

>Leo Ornstein was an American composer and pianist of the early twentieth century. His performances of works by avant-garde composers and his own innovative and even shocking pieces made him a cause célèbre on both sides of the Atlantic.
>Ornstein was the first important composer to make extensive use of the tone cluster. As a pianist, he was considered a world-class talent.[2] By the mid-1920s, he had walked away from his fame and soon disappeared from popular memory. Though he gave his last public concert before the age of forty, he continued writing music for another half-century and beyond. Largely forgotten for decades, he was rediscovered in the mid-1970s. Ornstein completed his eighth and final piano sonata in September 1990 at the age of ninety-six, making him the oldest published composer in history (a mark since passed by Elliott Carter).
Ornstein
Leo ring
walked away from his fame
Cant be a coincidence.
>>339249417
My money's on:
1st DLC - Something about the lords of cinder, maybe a younger Yhorm or Aldritch.
2nd DLC - Royal Family, probably explain more about Yorshka's relation to it and the Nameless King's history. If it doesn't let me marry Gwyndolin I'm pissing in Miyazaki's letterbox.
3rd DLC - Hopefully a resolution to the world's problems, like killing off both serpents and gods or finding an alternative to the first flame.
>>339249608
yorshka is pretty obviously ocelotte
there's a reason she acts like she has had zero experiences in her life: she was stolen as a baby and raised in utter secrecy with 0 ability to communicate to anyone other than gywndolin (her "brother" who yet named her, you don't name your siblings)
they even threw in another thing to doubly reinforce it, the fact that ocelotte is called male and yorshka embodies femininity, he/she was raised the only way gwyndolin knows how.
>>339249514
Nigger what books
Priscilla is only mentioned in the scythe miracle and the painting guardian shit. Yorshka is the same species, and she openly admits to being family with Gwyndolin.
>>339249495
he basically just banged his dragon for thousand of years, started feeling homesick but couldn't go back and went hollow.
>>339249728
Doubtful, it straight out calls Yorshka she in her items. Gwyndolin is never referred to as anything but male.
>>339249589
The ones with human faces are pontiff knights or servants that turned in to beasts. Everyone who serves him eventually turns in to a beast. They probably just weren't strong enough to turn in to croco-dogs.

>>339249714
>both serpents
Aren't there at least six, probably more? And they're probably all the same entity anyway.
>>339249728
Ocelotte is the slug thing Rosaria, his mother, is holding.
>>339249714
This made me think
Where the fuck are the serpents in DaS3?
>>339249829
WE'LL MAKE IT WORK SHUT UP DAD TIME TRAVEL EXISTS
>>339249793
that's becuase yorshka IS a she. raised female, identifies as female. the logic the real world applies does not escape game worlds as time moves on
ocelotte was male; ceased to be male when raised female. there's even a fucking tranny ring found nearby.
anyway, it's obvious from multiple directions, yorshka being ocelotte is one of the things that's more or less inarguable
it wasn't meant to be that way originally but that's how it ended up. that's why the lore seems so weird in these games, they take shit and shift it around and then it doesnt connect like it was supposed to
>>339249860
well to be honest not all hollows go mad, even if they lack humanity. look at anri's, for god sake, he/she doesn't even know what embers are.
>>339249913
They still exist. Syriss or whatever, the moon knight that you help, mentions one of them if you kill her.
>>339249913

>>339249913
>Where the fuck are the serpents in DaS3?
statues in lothric indicate that they nudged gertrude et al toward the mysteries of the angelic church
There should be an optional dlc fight of dancer and vordt, just before they went full beast mode, as a sort of Ornstein and smough 2.0.
And it should clear up whether they were fucking or not.
>>339249913
Pretending to be angels. You believe in angels right? Don't link that fire bro.
>>339249929
Your theory has nothing to back it up really, while the priscilla connection seems obvious just from how similar they and their locations are.
>>339249913
They've been and done their thing long before our story starts. Why do you think the Lothrics don't want to link the fire?
>>339250036
>while the priscilla connection seems obvious just from how similar they and their locations are.
there IS NO priscilla connection whatsoever. my theory is backed up in multiple ways
this is exactly what i was talking about...youre not a reader and you cant infer things youre supposed to infer. so being close to a location, a concrete thing, matters more to you than things youre OBVIOUSLY SUPPOSED TO INFER
people like this need to stay out of the discussion because theres ZERO INDICATION PRISCILLA HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH YORSHKA WHATSOEVER. NOT EVEN ANYTHING YOU CAN INFER.
>>339249929
>anyway, it's obvious from multiple directions, yorshka being ocelotte is one of the things that's more or less inarguable
uhhh, no it is not?
>>339250126
Your theory has got nothing to it, frankly.
>>339249728
>>339249906
Ocelotte is the invisible baby that Oceiros smashes into the ground.
Even though the texture and soundfile has been cut but is still found in the game, he still does the animations and carries it.
>>339250126
>NO
>NO
>NO
>NO
>WHY ARE YOU ALL SO STUPID
>>339249728
No, Ocelotte is invisible in Oceiros' hands at the start of the fight. You hear his cries.
Halfway through the battle the king drops her and calls out for him to show himself. Since the cries are gone, presumably you killed him.
>>339250126
Someone screenshot this, it's pretty much everything wrong with Souls lore discussion. Fucking hell.
>>339250209
there is no invisible baby bruh. it was cut from the game. sorry but you gotta understand intent to be involved in the conversation.

We have Aldia to thank for that.
Sorcery imparted by the first of the Scholars, when Lothric and the Grand Archives were but young.
Fires a torrential volley of souls.
The first of the Scholars doubted the linking of the fire, and was alleged to be a private mentor to the Royal Prince.

Manus was the fourth lord and Gwyn wrote him out of history. Not that he was ever in history.
He died a long time before the events of DaS1.
>he unironically wants to link the fire
Are you some sort of a race traitor or something? As reputable sources already stated age of dark is when humanity will finally achieve the greatness it deserves. There is literally nothing wring with letting the fire fade.
#MakeLondorGreatAgain
>>339250446
point being people try to argue shit like "ocelotte is dead he was slammed into the ground because these files that exist on the disc"
shit that was removed from the game was removed from the game. you cannot use it to further your argument. it is not part of the lore or the game.
furthermore you fuckin nitwits you cant understand atmosphere if it bit you in the eye, the baby crying in the boss stage is supposed to be for fuckin effect...it's obvious that he's beyond insane and if there's any real baby cry he's just magically creating it probably by accident
divine blessing item description makes it more than obvious that gwynevere took ocelotte and left.
but no reason to argue over and over again with less educated, less intelligent people. remember, yorshka is priscilla and gwyndolin's child! even though gywndolin has no reproductive organs and priscilla is referenced a single time as a memory!
>>339250608

The original leaders and sponsors of the Church came from Anor Londo, the Darkmoons were it's highest ranks. Sully wrested the papacy from Gwyndolin, who had used the Church as his latest scheme to trick people into linking the flame.
All those people eaten alive. All those orphans. Gwyndolin deserved everything.
>>339250229
Personally I think they removed the baby because having a baby, even a weird, possibly deformed half dragon one, smashed to death on screen is a bit too far for mainstream audiences.
From has done some violent and brutal stuff before involving infants, but never on screen. Showing it is a far step from simply implying it.
Making the baby invisible is simply a convenient workaround. Leads people to questioning whether or not the infant is even there, rather than focusing on the infanticide.

>>339250621
Isn't the last boss supposed to be everyone that ever linked the fire?
>>339250683
But a new age of fire will eventually come again. That was the whole thing against linking the fire, that it was only prolonging the current age of fire, and that after the age of dark, another age of fire will come, then another dark, and so on.
shoulda sheparded humans harder
>>339250716
>That was a mistranslation
the guy who was saying shit was mistranslations was going around offering "better" translations that were grammatically incorrect and nonsensical.
from software has had impeccable english in their games for like 2 decades. there aren't any mistranslations in dark souls 3. item descriptions are more than likely written in english and translated to japanese.
>>339250689
That memory is the last thing Gwyndolin thinks of as he dies. Pretty important anon.

Dark Souls 2 was filled with translation errors too. Miyazaki writes the text in Japanese. Only the voice acting is done in English first (and only).
>>339250932
gwyndolin isn't even dead. and no, it was *a* thing he thought of.
Why wasn't Frampt in Dark Souls 3? How come this whole thing was glossed over while there's this looming implication that the sneks have been pulling the strings for thousands of years?

DLC and the fact that you're not supposed to get a pretty bow tying everything up for you. can't understand why people keep expecting it. did you miss the point of the series?

Bullshit, there's no indication of that from concept art. They don't show dicks.

Huh, the crying stopped in my game.
>>339251173
No. Damn shame.
>>339251224
dark souls 2 is non canon nothing to do with it has anything to do with dark souls 1 or 3.
some references were thrown in in 3 to make teh team members who worked on it feel valued
>>339249929
no dude, Ocerios smashed gwynevere and she popped out two babbys. one was Ocelotte who went mad, so Gwynevere gave gwyndolin her second child: Yorshka
>>339250962
Gwyndolin could have had a reason for lying to her about her parentage. Hopefully DLC will clear it up.
>>339249929
The tranny ring is at Gwyn's tomb, just after where you'd fight Gwyndolin in Dark 1. It's a dark 1 reference.
>>339251308
I'm talking about the localization process, not what's canon or not.
>>339250608
Lothrics were convinced not to link the fire by Sulyvahn.
Sulyvahn was the first scholar of Lothric
How is it not obvious to everyone that Yorshka is Ocelotte?

>impregnates Gwynevere after mutating into a fucked up dragon thing and going insane
>Gwynevere out of fear for the baby gives him away to her brother

>Anatomy mattering in fucking Souls games of all things, least of all where gods and dragons are involved
Fucking unbelievable.
>>339251308
It's not that it's non-canon, it's just that it took place in a completely different area from Ds1 & 2.
>>339251224
It's a fucking meme dude. One that's especially stupid since 2 is better than 3 in almost every way.

>>339251514
lol
>>339251443
This is the most retarded theory in this thread.
das3 lore is stupid
>>339251443
cool fanfic bro, upvoted ;)
>>339251443
If we assume Ocelotte even exists
You hear Ocelotte cry in the fight against the king
The king, a boss that actually takes time to talk to you, speaks as if Ocelotte is in the room with you.
>>339251520
Yeah, when they get 100 Liquid Humanity.
>>339251561
"The Queen of Lothric, married to the former King Oceiros, was initially revered as a goddess of fertility and bounty. After giving birth to Ocelotte, her youngest, she quietly disappeared."
HURRR DURR HOW DO I READ ?? DURRR
How could they survive after CU absorbed their souls? Smough even crushed Ornstein completely.
>>339251520
Well those giant abyss snake things on Pus of Man and Iudex Gundyr are supposed to be humanity gone wild,according to some dude on /v/
>>339251713
>Zero evidence of it being gwynevere
wow anon you sure are convincing us with these hot opinions
>>339251443
Literally none of that is supported in-game anywhere.
1. The games never misgender Gwyndolin. Trap characters are always still referred to as men in item descriptions, and Yorshka is only ever called female.
2. Yorshka does not give or drop the trap ring, so there is literally 0 in-game evidence to support the idea that she's wearing it. Furthermore, the ring is unique, only 1 is known to exist, and it isn't in Yorshka possession.
3. Nowhere does it state that the Queen took Ocellotte with her when she fled, as opposed to just abandoning the child.
>>339251713
So does that mean Dancer was a princess of Lothric?
>>339251520
Aldrich was pretty close to Manus.
>>339251278
I'm getting close enough to him on a couple of characters. I'll be sure to try to keep my ear open during the second phase.
>>339251225
Because they could have worked with the material they already had and expanded it further instead of starting something entirely new and that it generally creates a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved?
>>339251713
I don't see Gwynevere's name on it, anon. And remember, Gwynevere was married to some fire god.
>>339250779
>>purpose was to give Aldrich the strength to link the fire
The purpose was to keep watch over the Deep, not feed Aldritch.
>>339251721
>Ornstein left, Gwyndolin replaces him with an illusion
>The canon CU doesn't kill gwyndolin, defeats smough first. illusion ornstein borrows some of smough's power and is defeated

>>339251793
>revered as a goddess of fertility and bounty
>DUURRR TOTALLY NOT GWYNEVERE LOL HURRR
Fuck off retard.
>>339251907
Another translation error. The original description says the queen was COMPARED to a queen of fertility and bounty.
>>339251874
She got tag-teamed buy fire dick and dragon dick
>>339251887
The purpose was to keep watch over the deep and await Aldrich's return, AFTER he was fed to the fires. Pre-immolation, they were all about fattening him up like a pig
>>339251907
You're the retard here anon, I'm sorry your hole-ridden theory is being shot down by everybody with some rational thinking.
>>339251907
Show me where it's ever stated that that's what Gwynevere represents. Also explain to me what happened to that fire god she married to.
>>339251761
Manus had no examples of a fire weak serpent motif on him.
He had sorceries and a gorilla arm.
>>339251994

Proofs? Oh right, there are none. Just accept your defeat, dumbo.

Anon, pls.
>>339251994
this is a lie and regurgitating this over and over needs to die.
the "translation error" guys "fixed" translation is two incomplete sentences with multiple instances of bad/unworkable grammar. he produced gibberish. you can't accuse of bad translation if you cannot speak both languages.
>>339251994
Even then, it is stated that she was revered as A goddess of fertility, not revered as THE goddess of fertility. It still works. She could have been wide hipped and busty, and due to being a very fertile queen, was compared as being like Gwynevere.
>>339251520
Yea and nah. The more cycles gonna happen the more abyss is gonna abyss and humanity is gonna go wild eg the Pus of Man. Manus looks very old and different to the snakes you see in 3 probably something to do with how the 4 kings looked as well. So maybe it has something to do with actually living in the abyss itself.
>>339251704
>>339251761

no wonder gwyn was wary og humans, then.
Still, you'd think you'd find someone else who'd want to be a giant, powerful-as-all-fuck dude. I know I would!

am i being double memed??
>>339252139
Sun princess ring in DS1. It literally says she married the flame god Flann after leaving Anor Londo.
That is one step below actually showing you the marriage. It is pretty canon, at least as far as Dark Souls lore goes.
>>339251813
>>339252224
It's like they modeled these things after that gif, and yet Aldrich is made up of fucking Depths slimes instead of the effect the snake things have.
>>339252238
do you speak japanese?
completely fluently? so you can verify this?
it's not a translation error. I'm not trusting a guy who produces results like this-- "even compared to a goddess.." when it should be "was even compared to a goddess.."
HE ISN'T FLUENT IN ENGLISH.

Guys guys GUYS
The dark fire link, multiple world shit got me thinking.
What if okay, what if like BB takes place in the world AFTER the Londor ending.
Yuria is wearing a mask that looks almost identical to the one that Cainhurst nights wear; her weapon is also similiar, and has a bleed effect, and Cainhurst were all about blood.
And what if Chalice dungeons are actually fragments of the DaS world left over? It explains why we see giants, undead, and croco-dogs in there.
You also have huge emphasis on the firekeeper eyes revealing what should not be revealed; just like in BB.
Holy shit guys. All this shit is connected.
>>339252157
Gough > Artorias > Ornstein > Ciaran
what bad things in DaS3 WASN'T Sulyvahn involved in? He's got a hand in everything
>>339252917
Not him, but some item descrip in 3 says that Smough was the last of the knights. I forget what it was though. 3 blows.
>>339252917
>Grotesque armor associated with Smough, the last knight to stand in defense of the ruined cathedral.
>>339252917
His armor is gained from beating aldrich and states he was the last knight defending the ruined cathedral. "ruined" and "knight' show time passed since the fight with CU.
>>339252962
But where is Armored Core in all that?
>>339252962
BB and Souls aren't in the same continuity. Pls stop trying to force this dumb connection. I don't even know why this is an appealing idea. Isn't this shit convoluted and self-referential enough?

>>339251721
The soul items they drop are more like power-sources and heirlooms. Their souls, as in the kind they need to stay alive, were let loose and absorbed when you killed them.
>>339252962
If anything BB was going to have a weak connection to DeS since early on Gascoigne would say umbasa.
>>339253052
It's a spin-off of Shadow Tower, which, as we know, is a sequel to King's Field 3, which happened 2 years before Demon's Souls.
>>339246972
Pretty good anon.
>>339253016
>>339253041
>>339252992
"Last knight" in the sense that he was the last "real" knight since Ornstein was apparently an illusion. Chosen Undead canonically has to beat Smough and not-Ornstein and get the Lord Vessel from not-Gwynevere.
>>339253210
>implying that real Gwynevere is that tall
>>339250512
Who is the artist anyway, I remember a gwyndolin picture with the same style
>>339253136

How? I played both of these games and i never saw the connection.

Not that guy, but I do. And 例えられた does indeed mean compared to. Dunno if that text is accurate the Japanese text in game though, can't help there.

>>339253295
>since Ornstein was apparently an illusion
this theory is stupid and people are stupid for repeating it
an illusion of ornstein fights with the same ferocity as any of the other 4 knights? an illusion of ornstein is still there after you kill gwyndolin?
>>339252732
That's really cool anon.
>>339252983
Well at least he didn't fuck around with dragons or skeletons i think.
>>339253295
He wasn't considered a knight at the time of DS1, though he wanted to be one
>>339253436
we don't talk about Gwyndolin. now shut up before your name goes on the Lord's Blades list
>>339253342
Kojima particles play a big role in the lore of King's Field, if you haven't noticed.
>>339253445

Gwyndolin dying is also not canon.

>>3047504
Nameless King is Ornstein isn't it? I mean, you can pick up the armor he shed right outside the boss arena, and in game descriptions say Ornstein went to find the Nameless King, which is probably from an introspective standpoint.
>>339253436
Gwyndolin has his own separate chamber and wouldn't be placed at his father's right hand. That's clearly Nameless King's place.
>>339253392
>only actual deity that stayed behind in Anor Londo

Suuuuuure.
who /greatsword/ here
>mfw one-hitting scrubs with the Lothric GS
>>339252775
Anna Sui was the first that came to my mind.
Ton of the clothing characters wear are straight up classic fashion pieces
I think Jojolyns hair was taken from some iconic show/photoshoot of a designer could be Rei Kawakubo/CDG can't remember right now
Mistas weird ass beanie/hat thing was pretty much straight up lifted from some designer
I should probably start writing these down when I come across them been reading history of fashion lately
>>339253297
Gwyns knights weren't half his size, those statues are not to scale.
Gwyn could simply be depicted as the biggest because of his status.
>>339247648
Guy was pretty smart so he started studying sorcery. Then he stumbled upon profaned flame and saw shit in it. When he returned he didnt like how those lords are rich as fuck while people are nothing. He then started creating his masterplan that ended in everybody getting fucked beyond repair so the only possible outcome would be to end the age of fire, so gods and the believe die forever.
In short, he didnt like gwyndolin being a little shit bitch.
>>339253057
>>339252962
It explains a lot actually. This shit makes sense.
>>339253602
Nameless King is the Firstborn
>>339253353
Gough shot down Kalameet, a dragon that made the gods shit their pants in terror, while he was fucking blind. Ornstein's dinky little spear can't compare.
>>339253602
Do you people even read what's in the item descriptions before you come up with this retarded shit?
>>339253576
Were they scaled to each other? Because Artorias has way more health and hits way harder than Ornstein. If you compare half of a mid-game boss to a late-game DLC boss, of course it's going to be one-sided.
>>339248532
>they spent time on demon ruins
no
no they did not
>>339253483
If I had a son like Gwyndolin, he'd be my favorite
This Gwyn guy seems like a puritan loser
>>339253684
Sulyvahn was the first Lothric Scholar, his "fuck everything up" career began with convincing the Lothric Bros to not link the fire. For reference, here's Sulyvahn
>>339253669
>I should probably start writing these down when I come across them been reading history of fashion lately
Just read the JoJo wiki for all characters in parts 5 and 6. From what I understand Araki used to read fashion magazines as a kid, which explains why he has such a good sense of fashion.
>>339253625
Why I should give a fuck about AL?
This guy lied to people and created false prophecy, because he wanted firewood for his father`s bonfire.
>>339253784
Gwyn was a cunt
He had the pathetic death of a burnt out husk coming for him.
Though I would not mind summoning three to four other Accursed Undead to take the fucker down at full power just to really rub it in what a piece of shit father is.
>>339253858
>>339253684
here's the in-game icon for the robes that Lothric Scholars wear.
We know that Sulyvahn loved Darkness, and we know that he was involved in Lothric because of >>339252398
So it makes sense that he'd be the Scholar who convinced the Lothric Bros to not burn themselves
>>339253610
Gwyndolins that sad younger kid some families have that they're kind of ashamed of but feel sorry for so they still kinda love him but when other people ask about him the parents just kinda say "yeah uh.. he- he's doing okay I guess you know how he is heh"
for a real life example, go check out /r9k/
>>339253736
Link me to the descriptions explicitly stating he is the first born.

that is not very surprising
>>339253992
Gwyndolin wasn't /r9k/, he actually did stuff
>>339253998
I'm not going to a basic Google search for you. It's blatantly obvious that NK is the Firstborn right down to the visual similarity with Gwyn.
>>339253157
He is so cute.
>>339254057

sulyvahn controls aldrich, not the other way around. people tend to assume this because aldrich is the lord of cinder, but sulyvahn was pulling all the strings
it really remains to be seen whether aldrich is even a conscious/sentient organism at this point. when you fight him he may just be attacking out of base instinct, it's my opinion that gwyndolin is still alive and being puppeted, so something of his brain probably remains to cast spells and such.

this is pretty retarded
bloodborne and dark souls are completely different universes
BB doesn't exactly do a great job at setting up a wider mythology so you can insert it into mindless headcanon, but the pthumerian cities and shit like that which are hardly even expanded on implies that the games universe is more than just yharnam.
In dark Souls 3, giants are turning into archtrees and the pilgrims are transforming into dragons.
In essence it's all one big cycle.
Aldrich's age of the deep is pretty obviously removing the dark essence from humans in a liquid, the human dregs are described as the heaviest part of the body, water, and you give them to archdeacon mcdonnell in the water reserve.
In essence what they were trying to create was ash lake 2.0
>>339255083
Not to mention that the Usurpation of Fire is pretty much the good parts of Link the Fire and End of Fire endings.
>>339255147
Literally every demon in the game begs to differ.

>>339255210
>the Chaos Flame is now the Profaned Flame
wrong, Chaos is dead.
the Profaned Flame used the Chaos Flame as an ingredient in it's creation, but the final product is distinct
>>339255154

when???
>>339254635
For all we know he was a bitch-ass pussy and Abyss powered the fuck out of him
>>339255154
>>339255253
The beast mentioned in the Ring of the Evil Eye is Aldritch? And that's why Anri wants rid of him? Is that the connection?
>>339255210
the chaos flame is not the profaned flame
the profaned flame is an attempt to combine the abyss with the flame, or a natural result of the world needing to link the flame
The chaos flame is the corrupted flame created by the witches of izalith, which is now effectively reduced to nothing.
The reason there are hoards of dead bodies near the old demon king is because there was a war to kill all the chaos demons, hence the arbalest, carthus and black knights guarding smouldering lake.
>>339255253
>>339255338
Anri and Horace were from Astora, and the place was being raided by the Church for sacrifices. Plus, her armor states that:
>Armor said to have been given to elite knights of FALLEN Astora.

>>339255419
>Andre of Astora: This flame is much too dark. I see the Abyss in it -- when given the Profaned Coal
>in addition it allows for Hollow and Dark infusions
despite this, the Profaned Flame pyromancy doesn't deal Dark damage like the black pyros do. So it isn't wholly dark, but the Abyss definitely has a presence in it. The Profaned Flame is the result of mixing the Abyss in with another fire.
Furthermore, the Profaned Flame was created by a bunch of butthurt witches, all of whom were relatives to "a certain specific Oracle." Given that the Profaned Capital is DaS2 references: the area, and that it's literally buried under a massive sheet of ice, it's highly plausible that the "Oracle" in question is Alsanna. Which makes the Profaned Capital Eleum Loyce, which in turn means that the Chaos Flame was sitting underneath the city, as a prime fuel source.
In addition, the Profaned Flame can mutate shit and set Gargoyles to life, just like Chaos can.
Profaned Flame == Abyss + Chaos
>>339255573
yeah but why does it show the ghosts of when they were still normal outriders instead of beasts?
>>339255582
wow nice headcanon u fuckink nerd
>>339255547
There is literally nothing to suggest the profaned flame and the chaos flame are even remotely similar.
>>339255496
Andre literally says the profaned flame has the abyss in it.
As for smouldering lake, it's pretty obvious.
The demon ruins area are the trench resting point for the demons, hence the old demon kings antechamber, this is why there are black knights here as well, one is in a room surrounded by dead demons, and the other is guarding a bridge up to the area with the ballista and skeletons, there was obviously a war between anor londo and carthus on one side, and the demons on the other.
The very fact that lothric is said to have "killed the demon prince" adds some weight that the battle was like a war.
>>339255687
Thing is, the Chaos Pyromancies work from the Pyromancy of the Bed of Chaos.
So either the Life Soul is alive and well fuelling a truly eternal flame that never fully dies out because of how Pyromancy works, or From is inconsistent.
>>339255672
>asterisk actions are from reddit
Oh look, a newfag.
>>339255547
don't think it was ever established that chaos pyromancies actually use it, just that it behaved like it, or that it was sufficiently dangerous to be compared to it
>>339255687
that reminds me, Lothric's miracles look like a mix of crystal magic and miracles

>>339255806
The problem with your theory is that the profane capital looks literally nothing like eleum loyce, and we don't get a single indication of this in any point of the level.
The "Gargoyles" traditionally in souls games aren't related to chaos, it's now established that Sulyvahn was a sorceror who discovered the profaned capital under the ice, and the profaned flame remnants, so it's likely that he either took the court sorceror's with him to form the scholars in grand archives, who made more gargoyles at the grand archives.
Okay so Sully was manipulating Lothric and Aldrich, while also utilizing the remains of Yhorm's Kingdom... so ah, what did he do to the Abyss Watchers? Did he send one of the Crystal Sage brothers there to fuck them over? Or is he maybe responsible for the "festering wood" that fucked up the place?

uhhh there's more lore regarding sulyvahn than potentially any other major character in the series. his fingers are in practically everything that happened in the world of dark souls 3
painting him like some blind follower of a god when he's clearly a mastermind means you arent getting the big picture. i don't think aldrich is a cognizant organism, to repeat..there's pretty much zero evidence of aldrich voluntarily doing anything past a certain point, when his form changed

I'd wager the beast of the evil eye was one of the outrider knights, minions of the Evangelist of the Deep. After Astora was wrecked the survivors (including Anri and the other kids) were probably shepherded to Aldritch.
>>339256140
eh, it becomes stretching it too far when you start analyzing what every spell looks like. part of that is just gameplay design and interesting visual design to catch the player's eye.
lothric would logically be able to cast strong crystal magic (oceiros), miracles, and angelic miracles

We don't even really see the profaned capital desu, all you see is one cyclindrical guard tower, and the rest is encased in a sheet of rock.
Plus the point is that the Profaned Flame can make stone statues come to life, like how Chaos made those blob statues come to life in DaS1. You can still see them in DaS3. Not to mention that it created those weird hand monsters, and swamp ladies. Look awfully like Chaos Demons to me.

>>339255547
Fucking kill yourself my man
>>339256381
its really hard to tell where to draw the line with From but i think there's good precedent that visual design has to be ignored a lot of the time
like aldrich DOES look like nito in a way, but it's completely illogical to think that he "ate nito" as people wanted to say, because nito was canonically destroyed in nature to fuel the lordvessel.
of course if dark souls 2 is canon (hehe) then aldrich could have started life with nito's soul diminished down to a tiny fragment after many cycles

I never liked the idea of Solaire being a god. Him being an out of place (and kind of stupid) optimistic badass who slowly realises that maybe he's made a terrible mistake is much better. Especially when he overcomes that and finally becomes the sun when he links the fire.
>>339256571
a-ok since only youtube memers believed that shit. solaire was just some hollow who lost his mind and obsessed about the sun
>>339256625
>blob statues
these guys. Note that "demonic statue" is their name in the official guide, which are handed down from From. So chaos can definitely make stone come to life.
Plus, the hand monsters look a hell of a lot like the Chaos Eaters that you find everywhere in Izalith
>>339256703
This.
Aldrich is so far the most pathetic incarnation of the Death Soul, even The Rotten in DS2 was better, being Pharros and all that.

>>339256436
we saw several cylindrical towers, and a throne room, but overall it looked absolutely nothing like eleum loyce in terms of architecture
I can understand why you think there are connections, but previous games never explicitly make a link between chaos and the abyss, whereas in dark souls 3, they do, and dark souls 3 also never states that the profaned flame is related to the chaos flame.
I think it's far too reaching personally.

That's not said anywhere, it's not like either Aldritch or Sully even talk so for all you know they could both be hollows.
But we do know that eating the Gods and ending the age of fire was a conclusion Aldritch came to very recently after becoming a lord of cinder.
>>339256808
>Plus, the hand monsters look a hell of a lot like the Chaos Eaters

Every DS game has a version of the four lords, you know that.

I only had those two of that particular anon, he didn't post any more.

It's heavily implied it's actually Aldia.

>one fucking spell
>>339257279
it is not, the Soul Stream sorcery only states that it was "imparted" (aka TAUGHT) by the First Scholar, not DISCOVERED by the First Scholar. The First Scholar could have learned the sorcery from somewhere else
>>339257105
because there is a defined aesthetic and it does follow a template
"chaos" refers to the creation of life itself. not random chaotic "mutations", there is 0 evidence of that.
>>339257279
But what if Pontiff was actually the scholar who taught Aldia?

I meant more of you silly :^)

he still lost his mind and is a hollow, not completely but he stares at the sun all day and talks about how amazing the sun is. everything he says is nonsense, hes just like a friendly strongman with dementia

>every ds game has a version of the four lords
in dark souls 3 this is only in the essence that you kill four main "bosses" to do something, they're not representative of the lord souls because they are lords of cinders themselves, akin to the chosen undead and the like.

>chaos doesn't mean chaotic, without order
ok anon, it's time to stop.
if they didn't intend for Chaos to mean chaos, they could have given it literally any other name
>>339257550
no, anon, it doesn't refer to a literal dictionary definition. it refers to the chaos of life being borne anew from a completely new source that is not accounted for in the order of things.
this is called "writing". sometimes in "writing", you use a word in a way that makes a deeper reference through use of that word. this technique is employed heavily in "books"
it's l i t e r a l autism to think that things only literally mean their l i t e r a l definitions
it's incredibly, incredibly obvious that shit like human centipedes and hand demons are not chaos demons. you even compared the design of the hand demons to chaos eaters, showing that you have very very weak cognitive abilities to begin with
Oceiros is pronounced as Osiris, like the Egyptian god.
Osiris is related to immortality as he is revived in mythology even after dismembered. (Seath research)
Osiris transcends to a god (dragon)
After dismemberment his penis is lost (the model is clearly lacking genitalia).
That's about it for believable bullshit I can produce.
>>339257731
ty anon, i'd post one in return but i dont want to get b&dont shave so quick and you won't get razor rash silly boy
>>339257735
ok Vaati, you've sure shown me with your ability to think of DEEP and SUBTLE definitions that totally read between all of the linesI'm not actually impressed at all, and you're being a massive tryhard to try and discredit a very basic concept
>>339249495
if anything ornstein was the one that died, NK is SO OLD
>>339257952
yes i'm being a massive tryhard because you think centipede women and handhead guys share the same design elements as capra demons, stray demons, goats and fire cleric guys in das3, etc

>I think that the results of a force that takes life and mutates them in interesting and random ways must have a unified design
t. retard
explain to me then why some demons became goats, some became bulls, some became giant plant things, some became dragon asses, some became hideous 50 ft tall fat bastards, and some became trees. it's because Chaos takes your existing form and scrambles it like an egg. There's no rhyme or reason to it.
>>339258481
except yeah there's clearly rhyme and reason to all the chaos demons as they all share similar design elements. dragon asses was purely the result of running out of time, nothing to do with the design
i dunno how to explain things to you when you want to be wrong. nobody else but you even thinks this, for instance.
Why anon keep calling him Local man?
I don't get the meme.
>>339258738
it's a permutation of a fark.com meme which is a permutation of a theonion.com story
at this point it has lost all meaning and it is a true embodiment of the phrase "to meme", as in, they are memeing.
