Considering how the Emerald Herald is basically the plot of the game, I'd be pretty surprised if that character model didn't pop up. Either way I'm getting pretty excited for the DLC on Tuesday.

Did you think about it?


Yes. Yes you did.

I agree, I just thought it was a neat little tidbit someone was able to find that may, or may not, be indicative of future content. Seeing the Herald in the past would be neat, but this certainly doesn't guarantee that.

If we're going with wild speculation, then how about that the child version of her is the TRUE version and every time you see her, either as the Emerald Herald or as the old Firekeeper in the intro, are just projections of her as she wants you to see her. And so in the third snowy DLC you find her in a cage bundled up the way she is as a child and rescue or release her.

Or she's the True Final Boss once you grab all the crowns, because :darksouls:

Actually I have no earthly idea why I'm getting these crowns and Vendrick acted like he wasn't sure why I was doing it either.

The boss of the Iron Throne is the Burger King. You get one of those paper crowns from beating it.

I want the final reward of the DLC to be the ability to stack all of the crowns on top of one another and wear them all at once.

I get the impression there's no real reason to, Vendrick just wants to see if you're a bad enough undead to do it.

My guess is that it'll have an area made for it carved out of the existing level, like the first one did. Probably at or near the end of the iron keep.

The model for the teleport thing is the same as the one in the Shrine of Winter, and given the snowy look of the Ivory King DLC the assumption is it'll spin off from there.

OIK will, I presume, be a teleporter behind the OIK Primal Bonfire just like the Sunken King one was behind The Rotten's.

I'm still really hoping it will be in the Smelter Demon's room after you kill him/Pursuer. :getin:

Never again though. It was pretty discouraging sometimes and not fun going through the start of the game so many times.

First, is this guy only droppable from the non-respawning knights? http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/old-knight-hammer

Second, I think the spear-wielding enemies may be the most irritating in the game, given how many there are.

So, I got Lost Sinner and Freja's souls, there are three lights in the basement map in Majula. Could someone give me a hint of where to go? Apart from the place located after Not-Blightown, or is it my only remaining destination for now?

Exhaust Licia's dialogue in Heide's to get her to move to the Rotunda in Majula, speak to her there to unlock the path to a new area.

God dammit. Right after I finish a no-death Artorias cosplay run so I can invisibly cast hexes from my left hand, they reveal Artorias' sword... which only does the leaping, spinning special attack in the left hand. Time for a no-bonfire run I guess.
