| The possible connection between the first flame and Billy Joel's 1989 hit "We didn't start the fire" Posted: 26 Oct 2020 12:05 PM PDT The Lore around the age of fire and the meaning of the first flame have been analyzed very thoroughly by people smarter than me. However, something I realized while listening to "We didn't start the Fire" is that the comparison of flame to human life is not new. I´m gonna drop a link right here if anyone wants to listen to it before reading my analysis because damn that song is an absolute BOP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g Typically when we discuss the first flame and the age of fire we see it as a literal fire that everyone is basking in the warmth of. But in "We didn't start the fire" the fire Joel refers to is the ongoing conflict in human society. The key point in that song is that we didn't start the fire, and it will continue to burn on and on for the rest of humanity. Now what I think is so interesting about this is how this is very similar to the first flame in dark souls. Eons ago a flame was discovered that led to the construction of civilization. In our world, Joel makes that same comparison by singing about struggles humans have endured both recently and over the last hundreds of years. The first flame is similar because the age of ancients before the first flame is depicted (as in the opening cutscene) as a desolate waste filled with nothing but the everlasting giants themselves. This while not directly referenced in Joel's song is a real-world analogy to nature and what came before humans first learned about fire. The flame literally started in our world when we discovered fire, and in dark souls with the first flame. The real takeaway though is that in both instances flame is what is nourishing higher life. The flame in Dark souls is responsible for the development of Lordran and the flame in Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire is the collective conflict and struggles humanity goes through. What I think is interesting though is how if we look at the first flame as the conflict in our world it makes the plot of the dark souls series make a lot of sense. As conflict dies down and as the world becomes sedentary the flame dies out also. The endless fuel the flame needs to survive is not provided. This I think is a shockingly accurate analogy to our own world and the constant need for the exploitation and conflict with other nations to fuel our own prosperity which is a critique from Joel's song. This is why it makes sense that a powerful soul is necessary to prolong the age of fire. More conflict is needed for the flame to prolong itself just like our standard of living is built upon the backs of millions of people and animals who die. Now, what about the age of dark then? If the age of fire represents the exploitation of souls for the advantage and development of society what happens when we stop it? Well, it seems like this isn't something we have a direct answer for as human society in the real world hasn't progressed that far. However, I can only speculate that an age of dark would be rejecting society and abolishing all hierarchy and order, which is a tenant of anarchistic philosophy. By rejecting the concept of order and exploitation the age of dark or the age of humanity as Kaathe is always ready to call it, seems like a world in which the society they've built is destroyed because of the inherently unethical structure it requires. Now am I saying Miyazaki was directly influenced by Billy Joel? Of course not. I don't even know if Miyazaki speaks English, to be honest. I just think that this is a common metaphor used by artists, and by looking at how one artist used this metaphor we can better understand a possible interpretation of Miyazaki's use of it. This, of course, is just my analysis and if anyone has anything to say about it I would love to discuss it with them. Thanks for reading this far in. Tl;Dr- The first flame represents the conflict inherent in society which is paralleled in Billy Joel's 1989 hit "We didn't start the fire. [link] [comments] |
| I did it, I completed the whole trilogy! Posted: 27 Oct 2020 03:54 AM PDT Now I'm going to be sad for the rest of the year. [link] [comments] |
| Black Knight Halberd makes the game too easy Posted: 27 Oct 2020 04:40 AM PDT I just took down O and S with about 3 chugs of Estus. It was the first fight where I used the BKH and wow what a powerhouse. Titanite demon in Anor Londo went down in about five hits. This is about my fourth play through of the game and the first time I ever got or used a BK weapon. Previously was using a claymore and now it looks pathetic and slow. [link] [comments] |

| Are the corpses we encounter in the world also undead corpses? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 11:09 PM PDT We can pick up items from corpses in the world. Were these corpses also of the undead? Why did they become corpses and not hollow? Or they did become hollows and eventually became lifeless corpses? Do hollows eventually become corpses? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 05:02 AM PDT Does the Abyss where you defeat the Four Kings have an edge? Is it an invisible wall, do you fall? Or do you just get so far from the bonfire it vanishes and you are, essentially, on a treadmill? Maybe a silly question, but I've wondered from time to time - and I always forget to check. After getting a Platinum Trophy I uninstall games, so I'd have to redownload and play up to the Abyss again. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 04:07 AM PDT Hi r/darksouls! I just recently purchased a PS4 (i know i am late) and one of my first games was Bloodborne, which robbed me of my spare time. I acquired the platinum trophy at the end of September and decided to try an other FromSof masterpiece, Dark Souls. I finished my first playthrough yesterday. I liked every moment it offered. I'd like to achieve all the trophies for the game and for this goal i need your help. My biggest fear is that i missed a lot of things in my first playthrough. Especially i need help with the missable pyros, miracles and magic. I know there are a few connected with covenants (i have the gravelord greatsword dance miracle). Are there any missable things for the trophies beside these? ps: sorry for any grammar mistakes i made, i am not a native english speaker [link] [comments] |

| Sif is dead but I don't have the Covenant of Artorias :/ Posted: 26 Oct 2020 05:39 PM PDT I'm currently playing it on switch, I doubt I dropped it or something but I can't find it and I already searched in my bottomless box. I think I had a bug during my first run when I killed Lautrec and the firekeeper got lost without leaving a trace. Help pls. [link] [comments] |
| Switch Coop (Whenever Needed I suppose.) Posted: 27 Oct 2020 03:11 AM PDT So, I've been pondering on when I should redownload souls on my switch, and when I did- all my data twas gone. I am massively depressed, but request assistance on certain bosses. Doesn't need to be immediately, but I'd like to have someone on standby incase I need help 🤣. New runs are always a pain.

| TIL NPCs can fail to cast spells Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:28 PM PDT I'm helping my friend and his friend get through ds1, and we got to the tomb of the giants. In comes Paladin leeroy, trying to be cool. Not quite sure how it happened but after I hit him a few times and was waiting for stamina to recharge, he did the "stick your arm out and go 'huh'" thing that you usually do when you fail to cast a spell. I have literally never seen this before and it genuinely makes me appreciate the npcs a bit more. They feel more organic, just like players, if they can make mistakes like that, as opposed to seemingly infinite magic that we normally get from npc enemies in rpgs. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 12:25 PM PDT I've played through DS at least 50 times. I speed run the game. It's my go to when I have time to game. I swear I learn something new about this game on every...single...play. Today for the first time ever, I came across a vagrant in Darkroot Garden. I'd never seen or heard of this creature. I was flabbergasted. I thought I corrupted my file from a sequence break. Even after so many runs, this game continues to impress and surprise me with obscure mechanics. I'm convinced I'll never encounter everything the game has to offer. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 07:10 AM PDT It is my first time playing Dark Souls Remastered and I just rang the second bell. So far I have died countless times, lost and found the way to go, been cursed, poisoned, killed by the weakest enemies in certain situations and I just can't get mad at it. Every time I die it is still a morbid joy to go back and try again because this game is so beautiful, well designed and addictive. Maybe I just can't get mad anymore because it is not my firt DS (I completed ds3 a few times already AND rage quit a few times), but it is just so much fun that I don't want to stop. We'll see if it stays this way in Anor Londo tho. I have read things. I just wanted to share. Praise the sun! [link] [comments] |
| Sif the evergrowing wolf? SPOILER Posted: 26 Oct 2020 12:08 PM PDT In the DLC Sif has a size comparable to a great grey wolf but in the present he is much bigger as you can see in the fight against him. But why? I'm well aware of the fact that the DLC plays in the past but the only explanation for his size, I could find, is that when you meet him in the DLC he isn't fully grown-up but in the time in between the DLC and the present he grows up to his real size or is he really an evergrowing wolf? Compared to the royal wood/Drakroot garden he is the only thing growing in size. But in the Boss fight he is wielding the same sword as in the DLC, so the sword either grew aswell or he got a new one looking like the same but from whom? May this be just like many other things in the Dark Souls Universe without an explanation? If you guys know an explanation I would love to read it. [link] [comments] |

| Is the blacksmith guy a floor below the bonfire near that giant gate in Undead Parish important? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 01:01 PM PDT I accidentally aggro-d him and I tried force quitting, but he still was aggro when I went down there so I killed him. Could any experienced people tell me if he was important? I got the game a few days ago on ps4. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Dark Souls Remastered - OP in 6 Minutes Posted: 26 Oct 2020 09:33 AM PDT hey guys, this is kinda like that video "OP in 10 minutes" where the dude gets a fire scythe within 10 minutes of him starting the game. this is similar in concept, but it's a much faster (and i think easier) method that lets you finish it in 6 minutes, maybe even less but im not good enough for that lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0XdxvsbTZU tell me what you think [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:05 AM PDT what do i need to open the door to lower undead burg? and how can i open the locked door in undead asylum? and get the rosted iron ring [link] [comments] |
| NOOO I ACCIDENTALLY ATTACKED THE BLACKSMITH GUY IN THE DEPTHS Posted: 26 Oct 2020 12:05 PM PDT I killed Capra Demon then went to depths and then I saw some dude smithing and I accidentally hurt him how to I get him to stop [link] [comments] |
| I've finally finished every piece of content in every soulsborne game. What now? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 02:52 PM PDT TL;DR at bottom. As the title reads, today I decided I am tired of PvP, which was the last step in finishing every piece of souls content available to the public. When the pandemic first hit, I was looking for something to occupy my time and noticed DaS3 in my steam library. I was always someone who bought every souls game, read the lore, watched speedruns and just DESPERATELY wanted to like them. They seemed so my speed; Action RPG's with a hint of metroidvania like exploration and a deep, fulfilling, stat based build system. But alas, I could never grasp DaS. But, man, for whatever reason - the minute I hopped on 3 (I had never seen any videos or read anything about it's content until that time) I was hooked. I couldn't stop, it was so good. I did a blind playthrough and I "finished," (beat all the bosses) the game in 3 days, including all the DLC. During those three days I think I slept for maybe 4 hours, it's one of the only times I remember being truly happy during the pandemic. Afterwards I played DaS2(sotfs), a game I remember being almost universally panned by the community. I loved it almost as much as DaS3, but I don't think it quite captured that "first high," I got from finally getting dark souls with number DaS3. I finished all the content in DaS2, then moved onto DaS1 - a game I was VERY excited about. I gotta be honest, I was extremely underwhelmed by the bosses, I suppose that's because DaS3's are just so much more mechanically interesting, that it's natural for DaS1's to be less so considering the age. That aside, DaS1 might be my favorite of all of them. The interconnected world and all the hidden areas REALLY did it for me, this game captured the high that I had missed with DaS2. After beating DaS1, I immediately played through it again. After finishing these games, I immediately bought PSNow for my PC and played bloodborne. I understand the praise it gets, but I only needed to play through it once to get my fill. I didn't feel it had the same quality of level design as the DaS games. My last step was playing DeS on an emulator, which I enjoyed a lot and had tons of fun with. After finishing DeS I replayed every souls game 4-5 times each; tried different builds, challenge runs, did a TON of PvP in 3, and a good amount in 2 as well. Had trouble finding any players in 1. I feel like I've exhausted all the content I can reasonably enjoy with these games, and I have at least 300 hours in each, minus DeS and Bloodborne. DeS crashes too much on my emulator for me to have the patience to do anymore than one run through it. I just finished Sekiro today, and similar with bloodborne, I enjoyed it - just not that much or enough to warrant another playthrough. My question is, as the title says, what now? I cannot afford a Ps5 for the DeS remake (I hate you sony) and there is this big gaping hole in my chest that I feel needs to filled with a souls game, but alas, none exists. It's genuinely sad to me that I have no more umph I can get out of these games for at least the next 6 months while I forget a good chunk of their content for a fresh playthrough. TL;DR, what do I do? What do you guys do? What games do I play now that I've already experienced the best? [link] [comments] |
| Why do people indict invaders for stupid reasons Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:56 PM PDT I just watched somebody drop attack an in Vader on an elevator and try to rush them before they could heal only to get parried and rushed themselves then indict the invader and I dont understand why [link] [comments] |
| Does Estus really get weaker with every death? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:22 PM PDT So basically, i once got told that Estus effectiveness got lowered a little bit with each death I got told this by a friend that had the horrible habit of lying a lot, that's why i never truly believed him but part of me can't bring itself to simply let go the doubt, so i figured I'd come and ask the dumbest question ever to y'all [link] [comments] |
