Havel, from what I’ve gathered just by looking at his armor, murdered dragons. His armor is made of their scales, and he uses a tooth as a club. He is the hardest man alive (or dead).
Also, guys, what if in DS2 you can do some minor crafting like bombs, traps, poisons, etc. O:
Who didn’t murder dragons in Dark Souls? lol there’s like 5 of them left
Crafting would be cool if it lead to items stronger than the standard firebombs, knives and arrows. If not I would just buy them instead. :\
Itd be cool if you could make them instead of buy them.
Also, the dragons were immortal, so it says a lot that Havel was killing them without lightening bolts, miasma, or fire.
Havel was a Bishop for Gwyn, but it’s widely believed that he was a double agent working for the Darkwraiths in order to restore darkness, and cast out the artificial sunlight placed over the land by Gwyn. Basically, he was trying to kill the Lords in Anor Londo. He failed, and this is the reason in which he is locked down in the basement near the Darkroot Basin.
Also, Vaclav Havel was a major figure in the velvet revolution, which kind of blew my mind.
The Gwynevere in the upstairs room is merely a projection. Orn, Smough, and the Silver Knights remained in the castle to protect her which I believe is around the same time that Havel was banished. You find that occult club in the basement, HIDDEN, because again, he conspired against Gwyn. This is why the desicion was made to flood New Londo, and why you see all the corpses on the ground once you release the water. They are the bodies of all the inhabitants of the town, as well as the Darkwraith members that resided there.
Basically Gwyn was Hitler. 
yes but wizardry and final fantasy are two completely different things, whereas Demon’s Souls is basically just the next chapter of the King’s Field/Shadow Tower universe
You guys should try out King’s Field and Shadow Tower. I didn’t play any From Soft games outside of the Souls games, and when seeing P. G talk about those two games I was interested and tried them out. They’re great, and they’ve aged really well. They have everything we love about the Souls games and more.
I think my first game from From Soft was Lost Kingdoms 2. I just realized not too long ago that they made that game.
They billed it as a “spiritual successor” to King’s Field, iirc.
Much as Final Fantasy is to Wizardry and its PC brethren.
The comparison is apt.
Jesus christ. You know, all of this lore wouldn’t seem as interesting if it wasn’t so mysterious. If it was straight out told you to it would seem more like a distraction to the game…
Which is why “straightforward” “understandable” “not subtle and direct” is the scariest thing in the world.
aren’t spiritual successors just similar in the game-play style. Not necessarily the story.
Do I have to back track after I fight the spider lady and the mutated son/brother?
Also, where does the bridge above the Hyrdra take you?
Similarly, how do I summon that girl?
Another thought I had was, do gestures really matter to the NPCs?
That video was cool, lot of stuff thats really cool. there is only one mention of you as the player.
seems like this game story is told with your fist. The things you do aren’t really affecting the story. Things that differ from player to player.
Don’t forget “we would all like to see Dark Souls attain as great a presence as The Elder Scrolls.”
Hopefully Dark Souls 2 has 2000 different things telling me where to go at all times.
-If you have a master key, you can ride that rickety elevator thing up to Valley of The Drakes, and unlock a gate which will take you right next to the elevator in New Londo, which then you can ride up right to the Firelink Shrine.
-Takes you to Sif, a sick ass boss. Also Darkroot Garden and some nasty NPCs that are good for farming.
-What girl?
-I don’t think so, no.
Just bought the DLC guys. WISH ME LUCK
I’m scared. They could fuck this up so bad. They could REALLY fuck this up but please god do this right.
I’d be kinda hyped if those guys in Porcelain masks were Darkwraiths or something. But whatever.
DONT FUCK THIS UP.
The closest thing they resembled to me was the Painted World Guardians.
Good lord, people and this fucking quote. You do realize that the interview***er*** said that, right?
Precisely.
King’s Field and Dark Souls do not share the same story.
-She is to the left of the hyrda. Trapped in a Goldish Crystal Golem
Ill have to get the DLC later as I’m new and its not advertised, lol.
Oh, Dusk.
I’m not sure. I’m only 30 minutes (30 minutes spent fighting the very first fucking boss) into the DLC right now.
Are you asking how to access the DLC?
