Let's talk about the Untended Graves.

What exactly do you believe is the plot significance of that entire area? It's filled with ominous descriptions and some similar-yet-wrong sights, but at the same time beyond "shit's fucked" it's hard to really discern what's what.

So here's what I'm going to point out as being a thing:
>Entrance to the Untended Graves is behind a hidden door just beyond the Oceiros boss room (a man obsessed with Seathe and producing an heir to Link the Fire)
>There is no "transition", it's seamless
>Sky is pitch black
>We face fully-hollow dogs and Grave Wardens in an environment noted for it's UNTENDED graves
>Champion Grundyr is no longer a statue (Iudex is latin for "The statue of a judge"), and no longer has the Firelink Sword through his chest
>Silver Knights patrol the area around the Firelink Shrine
>You can find the ring of Ciaran near the Firelink Shrine
>The fragment of the Firelink Sword that was missing in Iudex is found in the Bonfire cup
>The Fire Keeper killed herself, she had eyes that came from "the first firekeeper" and revealed horrors untold
>The Handmaid is still there, she brings up the fire "went out" because the Champion never came and the bells never sounded, supported by the Champion's soul
>She sells Artorias Gear, he is confirmed to have started the Farron Legion
>Andre is gone and replaced with the Blacksmith's Hammer
>If you give the Eyes to the living Fire Keeper, a new song plays that's called "Secret Betrayal."

What does this all mean? Why are their Silver Knights?
>>
>It's impossible to make it through The Catacombs of William Carthus without a guide.

Why is firelink shrine so much bigger and not connected to the undead burg? Is the undead burg now just the undead settlement?

Why is anor Londo now surrounded by snow and irythill? (Last thread answer= lower part of anor londo)

Why do we go to the dragon peak in a dream like state?

Why is ludleth exiled? Also how can this little fucker link the fire? He must have been pretty damn badass in his prime to be as powerful as the damn giant! (Last thread answer= kill him and find out)

Why didn't lothric link the fire? What was up with their curse? (Last thread answer, he already did. I think this may be incorrect tho considering it doesn't show him rise from his grave, and I think the one lady with the basin says we need to convince him to become a lor of cinder))

What was with all the turtle refuges heading for the high wall?

Could this be the final linking of the flame or was it just a severe last ditch effort to restart the cycle?

Was the soul of cinder supposed to be gwyn and all the other god souls we got in the first game? (Last thread answer= it's all the previous linkers of the fire/our characters and gwyn)

Why did we need to get every lord of cinder to sit on their thrones before linking the flame?

I personally think it's the actual firelink shrine. I think it may be some sort of anomaly. Time in Lordran is fucked, and probably in Lorthric too, we know this. I have the feeling that is Firelink shrine in one of two places.
>The first is that represents the after someone else let the flames die before, and we somehow went into an alternate universe.
>That or that is the REAL shrine, notice how the shrine we go to is not connected to any area by landmass and we must warp out of it? Perhaps that shrine is the real shrine, and the one we go too is some otherworldly copy removed from the world entirely?

Iudex simply means judge, not statue of a judge.

I think it's an alternate reality where the Ashen One failed to link the flame. Life has ground to a halt, darkness is all consuming. There's too many disconnects to simply suggest that it's the 'real' universe, as that would imply that your quest is to link the flame of a dead world. The existence of dark firelink in relation to the rest of the areas doesn't make sense if you take it to be physically connected rather than a portal to another world.

>Why is firelink shrine so much bigger and not connected to the undead burg? Is the undead burg now just the undead settlement?

Firelink Shrine was hollowed out and "lived in" over the hundreds of Cycles, the Undead Burg probably moved as a result.

>Why is anor Londo now surrounded by snow and irythill? (Last thread answer= lower part of anor londo)

Two theories; Anor Londo is actually a model created by the Pontiff to better lure Gwyndolin in, or Ithiryll was built around Anor Londo and shit got cold due to the magical fuckery Ithiryll was known for.

>Why is ludleth exiled? Also how can this little fucker link the fire? He must have been pretty damn badass in his prime to be as powerful as the damn giant! (Last thread answer= kill him and find out)

The Ludleth you meet in Dark Souls 3 is more or less a "briquette", he was already burned but did not truly die, for one reason or another. He is exiled because, possibly, he came from the world of the Untended Graves.

>Why do we go to the dragon peak in a dream like state?

Because that's how Dragons do? They're weirdo dreamy creatures, DS2 and DS1 has supported this.

>Why didn't lothric link the fire? What was up with their curse?

Lothric did not link the fire because Lothric was a coward, he was a weak, sickly child that refused to pick up his duty and wanted to watch the world DIE. This is supported through combat dialogue mentioning how he does not want to Link the Fire and he wants to literally "watch the fire fade." He's consigned himself to death and would rather wait for it to come over the long aeons than go up in literal flames.

>What was with all the turtle refuges heading for the high wall?

They were all people who were supposed to be dead. They are, essentially, Hollow from the outside world that were forced to make pilgrimage to the one place where the Hollow Curse can supposedly be cured.

Just beat the game and the final boss was alright.

Idk but this game felt easy as hell as a pure STR character. As soon as I got Yhorm's blade I blazed through bosses. Beat the final boss my second try, even though it was cool it felt way too easy.

As soon as it switched to magic spells al I did was run in and r2 chain stagger.

Did they top gerhman? Nah, but I do love the music and scenery though.

To expand on the Lothric point, his sword reads something to the effect of "the prince was expected to take up this platinum sword, but it was never to be"

He was expected to be a warrior and a fighter, instead he's a sissy fuccboi that casts miracles from the safety of his bedroom. A first class coward indeed.

Does poise reduce the damage you take during hyperarmor?
I've noticed that hitting other player earlygame in full knight/lothric knight armor when they do the straightsword's weapon art thrust (which has hyperarmor) causes them to take much less damage than normal. Like 60% of the normal damage they'd take.

The UGS stomp also has huge damage reduction, except it's not mentioned anywhere in its item description. Only that it boosts poise.

Has anyone tested damage during hyper armor with different poise values? Things like the Lothric Knight Spear and Yhorms Greatshield, as well as the Wolf's Ring all boost poise without changing your defensive stats, so it'd be pretty easy to test if there's any small variation in damage when those are being held vs when they're not.

>Could this be the final linking of the flame or was it just a severe last ditch effort to restart the cycle?

It can be both, but it's probably the latter.

>Was the soul of cinder supposed to be gwyn and all the other god souls we got in the first game? (Last thread answer= it's all the previous linkers of the fire/our characters and gwyn)

That is more or less the correct answer, the Soul of Cinder description explicitly states that the Soul of Cinder is the embodiment of every noble soul that had Linked the Fire.

>Why did we need to get every lord of cinder to sit on their thrones before linking the flame?

The Lords of Cinder naturally contain embers, the description of an Ember confirms this. Embers are what are needed to reignite a flame. You needed as many embers as you can to ensure the highest chance of igniting the First Flame. If you went to the Kiln and killed the Soul of Cinder without the Lords of Cinder, you would've had nothing to use to reignite the dead fire.

i died 1000 times to ornstein and smough and i had no problems with it, i have been at it for 3 hours now against the king and i cant get the dragon down, this is just retarded, why did they make this, because the rest of the game is junk tier thrash bosses and they wanted to make a hard boss for the lulz, and just added some bullshit to it??

Fight him camera unlocked unless he's about to throw a lightning spear. That makes the first half of the fight SO much easier. If you fight unlocked and stay near enough to the front it also prevents the dragon from breathing fire too often.

I still summoned to beat him though. His phase 2 attacks have hit boxes that seem to persist for just too long, frame perfect rolls are needed to dodge some of them.

Why put so many shields if you're going to make them useless because >muh BB anime combat?

Why put so many miracles if they can't deal as much damage as a fucking straight sword R1

Why the fuck do spells like heal drain your stamina completely? Wasn't FP taking estus slots and long ass casting times enough of a nerf?

Why put any sorceries when they're even worse than miracles and even lack the support?

Why put dark sorceries and pyromancies when they can only be accessed by an NPC towards the end fo the game and they suck anyway?

Why put poise when it does fuck all and you get stunlocked by R1s and the only "poise" that matters is ultra R2 hyper armor?

Why is everyone twice your size? No seriously even the fucking hollows are twice your size, and the fire keeper is slightly taller than you, like the doll from BB, were they this fucking lazy that had to copy paste the humans transforming into beasts from BB and the doll? How does this make any sense in the DaS universe where hollows, being humans and not gods were always shown your size and the fire keepers were too?

Why are there so many gimmick bosses and the ones that aren't are trivial, with the exception of Nameless king?

Why are there so few weapons that end up sharing movesets and even the fucking weapon arts, the main feature in combat of this game?

Why are there so many reused assets? Isn't this thousands of years later? At least Dark Souls 2 had a shitload of new items, this one seems to reuse more than it introduces, the goddamn kirk armor still has the roll bug from DaS 1, how is this even remotely acceptable for a 60 euro game?

Why does every enviorment look the same like in BloodBorne?

Why are there literally BloodBorne characters and items like Abyss watcher? What the fuck I thought it was Gascogne for a moment, wasn't aware I was playing Dark Souls X Bloodborne.

No seriously, how is magic even remotely acceptable as it is? Did they playtest this thing? How did this get through QA?

Someone please test this.

Just equip the ring and then quickly exit out the item menu. Tell me if you see resistance meters appear on screen.

How do you guys like the Old Wolf Curved Sword? Seems really fucking cool and fun to me. How viable is it?

Really flashy and satisfying animations for sure.

Doesn't seem like it actually restores HP though, does it? Is it bugged?

Just finished my first playthrough of Dark Souls 2

I didn't understand the story at all.

>King Vendrik crosses the ocean and steals something from the giants.
>Giants invade to take it back.
>Vendrik goes hollow.
>The Queen is a descendant of Manus.
>Your job is to keep the fire going but you finish the game sitting on the throne.
>Constantly harassed by some fire demon the wiki says is Vendrik's brother.

Fuck.

I find it easier and quicker to just Darkmoon Loyalty towards host. Plus I like being purple.

> There's too many disconnects to simply suggest that it's the 'real' universe, as that would imply that your quest is to link the flame of a dead world

Just as a reminder, you teleport from YOUR firelink shrine (the one you eventually have all 5 lords of cinder at) TO Lothric, where the dark firelink shrine is found *geographically* connected.

It's Lothric's Firelink Shrine, for them, it WOULD be linking the flame of a dead world. You're linking the flame of YOUR world. It doesn't even really matter if dark Firelink is in the past or the future, really.

The bigger question is why Ludleth claims it was his Firelink Shrine.
