| Were the Everlasting Dragons actually Golems? Posted: 12 Dec 2020 08:03 AM PST If you look at the Cycle of Ages, it can be boiled down to - Souls go out into the world, souls need to be collected and brought back to the source so they can go out again. Emerald Herald - "You are blessed with a myriad of souls." or "Your soul is still frail and pallid…" She wants you to collect as many souls as you can, especially the big and powerful ones, because - Emerald Herald - "Once the fire is linked, souls will flourish anew, and all of this will play out again." Names and titles aside, the undead (namely the Chosen Undead, Bearer of the Curse & Champion of Ash) are just there to collect souls and return to them to the source so they can go back out again. This got me thinking about the Age of Ancients - and how everything was grey and still, and the only thing there were the Everlasting Dragons. Why were they everlasting? My thoughts here are that they were actually Golems, the kind we see in Dark Souls 1 and 2. Golems are automated creations that simply absorb souls and use them to perform their function - and the key fact here is that they're neither alive or dead. The Age of Ancients was an age where there was no life and nothing ever changed. Core of an Iron Golem - "Soul serving as the core of the Iron Golem, guardian of Sen's Fortress, and slayer of countless heroes seeking Anor Londo. Originally a bone of an everlasting dragon. Use to acquire a huge amount of souls, or to create a unique weapon." Dragon Bone Fist - " A weapon from the soul of the Iron Golem, guardian of Sen's Fortress who repelled countless heroes who sought Anor Londo. The Gods fused the power of the soul with the great bones of the dragons, forming an appropriate core for the giant golem'" From Dark Souls 1 there's been a link between the Everlasting Dragons and Golems - with the bone of an Everlasting Dragon powering the Iron Golem that protects Anor Londo. Not only did it power the Golem, it was such a fundamental aspect of it that you could still make a Dragon Weapon from the Golems soul. Skip to Dark Souls 2, and we see the corpse of an Everlasting Dragon in two different time periods. First in the present, and then later on at the end of the Age of Ancients. Both of these corpses have the Golem-style "hole" in them that's found in the Iron Golem, Smelter Demon and headless "Golems" we find throughout the game. Along with this, we find the Ancient Dragon that Aldia created was created with a Giant Soul. So just like the Soul of an Everlasting Dragon can be used to make a Golem, the Soul of a Giant can be used to make an Everlasting Dragon... which, if the holes are anything to go by, could arguably make it a Golem too. King Vendrick (and Aldia) the Ivory King, the Old Iron King, and even Lord Gwyn, all used Golems and animated suits of armor to serve as builders and warriors for their kingdoms. Because one of the core concepts of Dark Souls 2 is imitation - imitation of the past, but also imitation of life. Hollows have holes in their backs, giants have holes in their faces, golems have holes in their chests... the corpse of the Everlasting Dragon has holes in it's wing palms. Note that there are also a bunch of dolls in Ornifex's workshop with a similar hole in their chests. So what if Everlasting Dragons were just creations from a previous age, created to suck up all the souls and stop the Cycle of Disparity? If no souls can escape, then no souls can flourish anew and everything stays grey and equal and calm... at least, until a new flame erupts suddenly. [link] [comments] |
| Dear people who summon and dismiss phantoms for no reason Posted: 11 Dec 2020 09:15 PM PST I've been sitting here for the last half an hour hoping to help someone, anyone, and get me my medals. Just browsing reddit and listening to the lava crackle. Finally I get a summon! I'm excited, I'm happy, I load into the world and you stare at me in unmoving silence. I bow in service to you. Before my bow is even complete, you are already using your Black crystal... Was it something I didn't say?! [link] [comments] |
| Just beat the game. What a crazy journey. 10/10 Posted: 12 Dec 2020 01:19 PM PST I started the game in 2019 (PS4) when there was a sale, after having previously beat DS3 (NG+1) and tried DS1 as well. I then stopped because I ran around in The Shaded Woods and got killed by enemies I couldn't see, and I was a bit stressed about other stuff back then too. Fast forward to a global pandemic a year later, and an urge to get consumed by a game once again, I tried re-downloading DS2. I then took it upon myself to fight through all the enemies, frustration, weird hitboxes (!), adaptability??????????????, gorgeous views, amazing, tragic and relatable story (a King who just wanted to impress his Lady, basically), and I sit here now with heart pounding and completely blown away. I have watched many Vaatividya lore videos to try and get an understanding of what happened, and I admit to also having used Fextralife Wiki to just know where to go, but I'm honestly amazed by the game. I have a PS4 Pro and played the Scholar version but it looks and runs so well, especially for a 5 (6) year old game. Favourite area: Dragon Aerie. Simply gorgeous. Armor of choice: Faraam set (it looks awesome and that's a fact [link] [comments] |
| Is it me or the nashandra was the easyest last boss in dark souls seres? Posted: 12 Dec 2020 12:20 PM PST I've beaten dark souls 1 and 3 many times,and recently i've beaten ds2 and i think Nashandra is the easyest last boss in all three of the games. Gwyn had (in my opinion) hard to dodge attacks, Soul of Cinder had hard to learn attacks and was kind of unpredictable. And to beat these bosses i needed some practice but the Nashandra wasn't hard at all. I have beaten her in first attempt and i did it without taking any damage i used Bonfire Ascetic and did the fight again and i took damage once and it's my question .Is it me Nashandra that easy?

| SOTFS PS3 Bonfire Ascetics farming?? Posted: 12 Dec 2020 09:03 AM PST Hey, I'm trying the farming in Aldia's Keep but the 2 petrified hollows won't appear. I'm in (Aldia's) bonfire intensity level 3 or 4 I think. Also in Orro's Memory I can't find that famous x2 Bonfire Ascetics. Help anyone? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2020 05:43 AM PST Hello all, SM 115m lv470 here, I'm trying to find the fastest way to level up. My goal is literally just to get to max level on this character, I have a lv150 character too although I don't really play it. I've been farming the giant lord for a while, it yields almost 500k souls per run, I enjoy the pvp in this game although there's very few players around my soul memory that still play. I can usually find an arena match but I'd rather invade someone for the chance to gain their souls. Think my record is 360k souls from one kill in a fight club. Also when an area is highlighted in orange on the travel selection screen, does that mean that there's an invade-able player there? Always thought that was the case, but I never really looked into it. (Iplay on Xbox one btw) [link] [comments] |

| Royal rat vanguard is genuinely baffling Posted: 12 Dec 2020 12:06 PM PST So i understand ds2 has way to many bosses and some gotta be cannon fodder but did they even try with these guys [link] [comments] |

| Bonefire ascetic and soul shard of Nadalia Posted: 12 Dec 2020 04:14 AM PST Does the fume knight keep droping a soul shard of Nadalia after using a bonefire ascetic? I'm missing one of 12 and don't have any more smelter wedges, already killed Alonne and I'm just about to give up. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2020 05:24 AM PST Is there any way to rank in this covenant quickly? The arena is absolutely dead [link] [comments] |
| I made a boss rage quit. (Spoiler) Posted: 11 Dec 2020 06:26 PM PST Brume Tower. Me, two NPCs vs Sir Alonne. What happens? I die, try again solo. Second time, he kills himself not long after I start, I get him to low health, and instead of dying like a normal boss he shoves his katana in his gut Seppuku style. Has anyone else seen this?

| What's the over consensus on the MauLer's video "In defence of Dark Souls 2" Posted: 11 Dec 2020 04:40 PM PST It's a question I've been meaning to ask for a while. I don't particularly like it, not because he doesn't like the game (there is a lot of things to dislike about it), but because he uses anecdotal evidence and over all just not presenting his points well.

| I started to like it, bit now I'm frustrated. Posted: 12 Dec 2020 01:45 AM PST Dark souls 2 took me a while before I started to like it. I've played ds1 and DS3 a ton. Bit I just really wanted to play this one just to complete the series. One of the strengths of the series is the hard bosses, and specially the relief you feel once you beat them. Now I beat the dukes dear freja. But after after beating you can't sit back for a second because the minions + the enemies outside start charging you like crazy. It made me lose the 50000 souls I just got from the fight.... And this is what frustrates me in more fights. You kill the boss, fog wall disappears and boom, gank time. It makes beating bosses less satisfying. [link] [comments] |
