“Link the fire” It’s the last area of the game.
Cool, but fuck Bamco. 
I decided to use some summons for this build since I’m trying to be able to hit PVP as soon as possible; now I’m remembering why I stick to solo: summons dying within the first couple seconds of the fight lol
i didn’t give a fack since i feel like i’ve managed to fack ap all the questlines possible.
vaati has made this vid “initiate all questlines” which will certainly help to atleast start the quests.
Guess im remebering wrong. i thought i remembered none of the katanas could parry.
Completely missed cathedrals of the deep. I wonder how far along I would have been able to go without running through there.
Not much further then you must have been now, you hit an impasse after a bit.
Had to burn 4 embers in the Woods cuz niggas keep invading my shit like damn mexicans at the border :mad: It has the shortest path from bonfire to boss area I’ve seen so far but fuck man, it’s prime PVP central.
bWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH those gifs tho
It’s the DS3 version of the forest with it’s own forestbros. (In function, dunno about in lore)
That said, just don’t bother embering there the boss there is easy.
How far am I into the game now that I’m a few bonfires in at Irithyll? Using a Falchoin +5 or so, love its speed, damage and low stamina use. :tup:
You still have a ways to go man. Few areas you probably havnt been yet.
That’s why I always join the covenant that acts as the guards. I don’t help them at all, but it does keep you from getting invaded.
Now that I’m at the very last boss, I’m finally starting to explore into the lore a little. There’s gonna be 3 DLC expansions, right? There’s so much potential there. I have to assume some of this stuff gets explained more in depth later in the game’s life.
I’m especially curious about:
[details=Spoiler]Oceiros. He was apparently the king of Lothric before going mad, as he was married to the princess. Apparently one way or another, they bore a child named Ocelotte. He refrences her a bunch throughout the fight with him, and in the first half you can even hear her/it crying as he holds what looks like an invisible baby in his left arm. Maybe the DLC will go more in depth about this child? Maybe she’s not even real? After all, Oceiros has gone mad and blind at this point, he could just be projecting his madness unto reality and that’s why we hear the cries of a baby as we fight him. He was obsessed with Seath too, and the both of them were blind. Maybe he even blinded himself intentionally to be more akin to the figure of legend he worships. Who knows.
Directly behind his boss room, you get a gesture that lets you travel to a secret area where dragons roam free high up into the skyline. Why? Did he go there at some point? We know at some point in time Oceiros was human, maybe that’s where he became a dragon himself?
If you’ll notice, the sons of Oceiros (the Lothric Twins) all have disabilities as well. Just as the mad king himself was blind, two of his children were lame and possibly blind as well. It says they were created and cursed “through unspeakable means”. Maybe there was some inbreeding going on?
Also, this isn’t totally related, but everything seems to point to the Nameless King possibly being Solaire reborn. We know he was a forgotten descendant of Gwyn, and a nameless warrior of sunlight. Sound like somebody familiar…?[/details]
My mind is racing about this stuff. I’d like to speak on more aspects of the story but I’m on my phone…
Story theory :
Spoiler
Dark souls 3 is a prequel to Dark Souls 1
I havent really dug into the lore yet myself, but i have read a good deal of it. Got a few theories goin but nothing very substantial yet
[details=Spoiler]Well, time is convuluted and segmented all across the land, and distorting reality itself on a constant basis, but I’m not sure I believe that as a possibility. There are defined events in DS3 that do in fact take place after the events of 1&2.
But again, anything’s possible here. There’s a ton left to be explained.
Unless you were just being sarcastic. [/details]
na lol i wasn’t being sarcastic
[details=Spoiler]i know jack shit about the lore in this game and frankly i don’t think i wanna try figuring things out because it would mess with my head too much.
i was doing co-op with Gasa at smoldering lake and we both thought that this place must be the “ash lake” of the past.
like how this place looked like it’s burning and hasn’t turned to ash yet.
that’s where i got the idea from. but now when i give it some more thought it can’t possibly be a prequel either because
of the really worn out gwyneverie painting i came across too!
[/details]
I also think it’s a little weird that:
[details=Spoiler]Oceiros is basically NEVER mentioned outside of the garden. I find his placement in the game’s world strange too; tucked away in the back of a forgotten and forsaken garden as if he was hiding or even being hidden away from the rest of the world. Almost as if someone, one way or another, wanted his existence to be hidden. Maybe someone (or even Oceiros himself) didn’t want their king to be seen in the state he is in.
In the room behind him, you find a set of Drakeblood armor sitting in the room alone. Now why is that? The Drakeblood’s were a part of Yorgh’s legion against the Sanctum City of Shulva. Pretty much their entire purpose, as far as we know, was to eliminate Sinh the Slumbering Dragon in DS2. Why is one of them here? There’s no way that just chalks up to coincidence. I believe Sinh, Oceiros, and Yorgh might be connected here somehow.[/details]
Fraud.
