He was the worst, laziest, most phoned-in boss in history. So he did that wrong.
>>
>>341612803
Hey man, he was just a dumb giant that got lucky and then sacrificed himself in order to give others more time.
>>
Did anyone do anything wrong in the DaSo lore? Everyone was basically looking out for their personal interest.

Only one I can call out in being straight up evil in Kaathe and his dickwraiths but even that was just survival.
Even Manus, father of the abyss, wasn't purely evil. Fucker got tortured to insanity. Did they ever say what his crime was?
>>
Protagonists in far too many games do ridiculously stupid shit that gets justified by their "feelings"
>>
>>341613475
Seath?

He abducted Gwynevere's maidens for experiments, which Gwyn was cool with and presumably fucked Gwynevere herself to have made Yorshka and Priscilla.

Or at least Priscilla. Maybe Yorshka's just Ocelot and got taken in by Gwyndolin later down the line.

What did he even do?
He just killed dragons and linked the fire.

She's biiiig

fanction. there's a jail room before you decent into the abyss via an opening on the wall.

>>341614359
Seath had issues because he was bullied by other dragons for lacking scales
>>
>>341614610
When fire began to fade Gwyn desperatly tried to keep it alive which lead to the world getting fucked and making everyone's lives terrible.
>>
>>341615070

But if he let it fade wouldn't life be even more terrible?
>>
>>341615070
Well, yeah

literally everything he had done would have been pointless if he didn't link the fire, and there was a possibility everything would become abyss fucked
>>
>>341615070
The world went to shit when the flame started fading again, Gwyn linking it didn't make the world shit, it delayed it.

>>
>>341614772
any other evidence?

also what's the deal with the Abyss, it was made to sound like some ever encroaching all consuming darkness on the world, but in the DLC it's just a big cave and in the main game it's just a big blackness at the end of new londo

never seemed as threatening as they made it sound

When did they retcon that? If that's true, it would be a shitty move. There's some tragic pottery in the whole MGS madness started by the random act of a madman.

Gwyn did everything right apart from letting his wife's son turn into a furry. He killed the everlasting dragons, then after the First Flame started to fade and Witch of Izalith failed recreating it sacrificed himself to keep the Flame lit.

Reminder that the Undead Curse / Hollowing didn't start due to Gwyn's actions. Men, animals and "gods" turning into mindless hollows (which is mankind's original state as evidenced by DaS1 intro, DaS2 Vendrick dialogue and DaS3 Yuria dialogue) whenever the Flame is about to go out was precisely the reason Gwyn sacrificed himself.
>>
>>341617153

except until the 3rd game you had no option to free yourself from the cycle.

regardless of your choices in DaS1 or 2, you were basically doomed to make the same choices Gwyn made.

The abyss was an all consuming corruption though, it's just that whenever it came up people went to extremes to stop it.

Oolacile was completely lost to it and it was the land if sorceries, who knows what the world would have been like if they weren't lost to the abyss. Gwyns greatest Knight went there and failed, the chosen undead was dragged there through time to kill the father of the abyss.

New londo was completely flooded, burying and entire city in water just to stop the dark wraith and abyss in a sealed city that served as a tomb.

In dark souls 3, the undead legion would destroy entire kingdoms at the first sign of the abyss to stop it from spreading.

No one fucked around when it came to the abyss.

DaS
>Gwyn ending: delay the hollowing by re-linking
>Dickwraith ending: Do nothing, and consume the souls of other beings to keep your own humanity, arguably what serpents want

DaS2
>Basically same endings as first

DaS3
>same 2 endings, but secret waifu ending is humans acting in their own self interest to free themselves from the curse, forever.

The SOTFS ending wasn't the Dark Lord ending from 1, though it wasn't exactly a breaking of the cycle either, more a chance of breaking it.

Gwyn is like the biggest fucking hero in Souls.
Keep Linking that Fire. The alternative is pitch-black zombie eternity. Yes, it was a system established by "gods," but you're helping everyone by doing it.
