I'm starting to think the canonical ending of DS2 was The Giant Lord conquering Drangleic (Yhorm specifically), and the actual happenings of DS2 were a desperate attempt by the Emerald Herald (who is some kind of firekeeper/immortaldragon hybrid thing?) to reverse that and finish Vendrick's work (curing the darksign/hollowing). Regardless, I'm not sure there have been more than 5 cycles. Lothric seems to represent the broken and dying final cycle of the world. If we take what seems to be that the deep sea rises up (from the lowest point), eventually swallowing everything, we can assume that the untended graves exists in the same time as Lothric does but because it is physically lower in the world, it had already been submerged into the abyss. I think when the world was created, there was a finite amount of souls. Every time the fire is linked, souls were used up (ash, IE the player) permanently. Each Lord essentially gobbles up a large amount of souls in the process of linking the flame (this does seem to be necessary to the process), and many are summarily destroyed in that process. Given the linking ending, we can safely say that there just aren't enough souls left to kindle the fire. Even after the PC goes around and gobbles up various lord souls that occurred throughout time. It's not enough. The cycle is done, there just aren't enough souls left. All that's left is to let the deep sea swallow everything, and let life emerge again eons later.

Genocyber posted:Sometimes it works out. I summoned a mad phantom when going through the high wall on a new character, and they were actually helpful, even taking down an invading red. I have only been messing with purple signs if invaded when I have the option - because it's something of a wild card and isn't a blatant "gently caress you" to invaders. The phantoms could team up on me (which isn't very unfair, they tend to step on eachother's toes) or could team up with me against the red, which has the same effect. It's just a nice interesting feature, I just wish there were some other incentive for using a purple sign, because I haven't even bothered placing my own for the very reasons people mentioned. It's too much of a crap shoot whether you will be picked up by someone like me who isn't just looking to gank a poor fool. I don't mind it too much. If Purples got much more attention they would really stand out, and red invaders would really be lagging behind - only existing for the sake of covenant rewards. So I only mention the state of purple signs because it would be nice to see more of them for my own purposes (summoning on and trying to manipulate encounters to "feed" the purple phantom hapless white/yellows, or as a wild card when invasions are stacked).

Usually, one or both of my summons get insta-killed or double-tapped, and I'm only able to sloooowly chip away at her health. I increased my health a bit so that now I can survive her insta-kill attack if I'm fully healed (but the one and only time this happened, she immediately used her fire explosion and I had no way to get out of range). yes, stick on her rear end. literally don't leave her rear end unless you absolutely have to to estus. get up in that rear end, larry.

KaiserSchnitzel posted:You know what's great? the Patches squat. I wear the big iron exile mask with that chain hanging off the collar and as many things with spikes or chains as I can, and whenever I get summoned I just squat and don't move until the host is done gesticulating and spinning around in circles - which, of course, goes on for a good 45 seconds. Just finished a fight and host is picking up drops? Squat. Host is running back and forth for no reason or going down dead-end corridors? Squat. Waiting for another summon to beam in? Squat, and then don't move while the two of them communicate in whatever crude way they do. And this always frustrates one of them - the host or the summon - who can't understand why I'm just squatting there looking like a pit fighter in an iron mask. How can he not be rolling around and smashing pots in celebration? They can't stand it. They start with the rolling into me and poking me with their swords and running in circles around me...nope. I'm not gonna do that. Couple pages back but squat4life. No fanfare on summon or boss kill.

It's really just about one man's struggle with the Curse, to understand what it is, and if it can be overcome. The Flame is only tangentially related.

So my character's just after Pontiff now and I feel like now is my last chance to decide if he's ever going to respec to Faith in NG+ or not because SL 60ish is probably the last chance I'm gonna get to pick up ears for Blue Sentinels/Darkmoon. I'll definitely want Darkmoon Blade on a Faith build. He's pure quality build right now and may well stay that way, but I'd hate to outlevel the Aldrich invasions in Irithyll and miss my chance to get ears without farming Silver Knights for hours

So, uh, just beat the last boss (surprisingly easy, kind of sad, but then, I had fought the nameless king and the champ prior, so I guess everything is easy in comparison), got a question to make sure I get the right ending I'm going for the end of fire ending. Fire Keeper said to call but, but I'm just seeing a yes/no option for linking the flame? Do I walk out, go back to firelink, is it just obtuse and saying yes actually has me snuffing it out?

This game has some funny bugs. I got the one where bosses don't animate and just skate around in their default pose. This also makes you effectively immortal since the attack animations never happen. Seems to happen when you get summoned to another world.

It's because the boss, unlike most other enemies, are controlled by the host instead of who they happen to be targeting.

The theory that Profaned Capital is Eleum Loyce is out there. And Irithyll is connection to Profane Capital so there's a through line from Loyce to Irithyll, but I don't think they're the same place.

Having two separate isolated tundra cities that just happen to be built upon ancient corrupted magic fires seems... unlikely. We're in the "transitory lands of cinder" it's not a huge stretch to say that geography is not stable and that Anor Londo may have just popped in at some point (along with New Londo, which I assume is the Profaned Capital).

Something I've been wondering about the giants in DS2 is that, based on some things in DS3, I think their faces might not be natural. The giants in DS2 had the hollow faces and even had holes in their souls. Yohrm does not have this, he clearly has a human skull and his soul bears no such mark. So the common theory is that the giants are two seperate species. However, I'm wondering if the giants in DS2 might of been carrying their own kind of curse. When they die, trees sprout out of their corpses. At first this just seemed like a quirk of the DS2 giants, but now we see it happening too humans as well. The undead settlement is filled with corpses that are sprouting into trees. Also, take a look at the Londor pilgrims; their are roots clawing out beneath their shells. They are wearing the shells to keep those roots suppressed, as their growth causes them to turn into pilgrim butterflies. The strange flying creatures you see over Lothric Castle, which look like tree roots twisted into the form of an emaciated angel. We never see the faces of the Londor pilgrims either. They are wearing hooded robes, which make them appear visually reminiscent of the DS2 giants. It all just seems like it can't be a coincidence. I'm not sure what the exact cause of this would be, but I'd assume its the end result of certain creatures escaping from the cycles created in the age of fire. quote:When the giants fell, they grew into great trees. Death is not the end, for anything that has ever once lived remains a part of a great cycle of regeneration.
