Fat knight also hasn't appeared after the first time and creepy tortoise went and died while I wasn't looking. I think there are other fuckups as well that I'm not remembering.

I clearly missed a lot in the Cathedral. Of course, I only went there after I hit the dead end at the bridge to Ithyll so maybe that is why.

Fat knight for the cathedral has a trigger that I figured out in my co-op playthrough last night. Is it the only trigger? idk. Anyway go to Rosaria bonfire, raise the bridge next to one of those magic maggot dudes (not the non-hostile one or the other near it, but the one the next segment over). Cross the bridge and go up the stairs, then open the big blue doors back there. Then go back to the cleansing chapel bonfire and check the well, he will be there.

8-Bit Scholar posted:I'm very excited for new levels, but Dark Souls 3 is actually a very good length I feel. It's long enough to feel appropriate for the price and the journey you are on, but the levels are more dense and thorough. I'm spending much more time exploring the Undead Settlement than I did the Undead Burg, because there's more layers, more branching paths and side sections. I'd like a way more dedicated Blightown or Sen's Fortress callback in the DLC. Something where the level feels like want to cause as much pain to the player as possible at every corner. Some of the enemy placements hit that itch, but I want more. More Dark Souls 3, please.

Do the NPC quest lines require summoning phantoms? I don't think I've summoned a single phantom to help me so I assume that is also going to ruin some progression.

No. One of them requires you to let Siegward help you kill a boss (Yhorm), but not as a phantom. And one of them (Anri's) has you get summoned as a phantom to help them fight a boss (Aldrich).

Something where the level feels like want to cause as much pain to the player as possible at every corner. Some of the enemy placements hit that itch, but I want more. More Dark Souls 3, please. It'd be great if they do a trap fortress that was more a direct analogue to the Widda Castle in King's Field IV, which Sen's itself is an analogue to. The main difference being that Widda Castle is a much bigger rear end in a top hat, with enemies that stun you, a metric fuckton more dart traps, floor traps leading to rooms you had just gone through, floor traps leading to a lake filled with piranhas, and probably other great elements that I am forgetting.

I think you get a good trap dungeon with the Catacombs in this game, frankly, but I was expecting a Sens analogue that never appeared. That said, a giant area of nothing but rear end in a top hat traps sounds like a Bad Time.

Wolnir and DS2; I don't think he's supposed to be the PC from DS2 but I do think he's meant to represent what would happen to the PC from DS2 if they didn't play SOTFS. You end up becoming another victim of the endless cycle. For all the power that Wolnir once held, it all faded away and the world forgot about him. That he is entombed in the same place as Vendrick isn't a coincidence. Its another story of an all powerful ruler that ultimately ended up accomplishing nothing, and the cycle went on. Which is what would happen to you if you didn't say "gently caress this" after unlocking the true power of the crowns and wandering off with Aldia. Wolnir at least got to big a giant skeleton instead of a giant zombie though, so he had that going for him.

Is the basic sorcerer catalyst the best one you can get for awhile or is there a better one in the early areas? Also there's no damage boost from two-handing a catalyst right?

My favorite shields are all the Crest shield variants except maybe Grass Crest (the stamina regen effect is okay but not as good as DS1). Golden Wing Crest Shield gets special mention for having Spell Parry, which is worth it for style points alone. If I'm going for pure fashion the Golden Falcon Shield looks cool as hell.

So uh, how do people interpret the second ending, at least the version where you allow the Firekeeper to take the flame instead of killing her and snuffing it? The first ending is obviously linking the fire and keeping the cycle going, and the third one is basically the Dark Lord ending from the first game, where you become the god-king of the Age of Dark the same way Gwyn was with the Age of Fire or whatever, but the stuff in the second ending about embers dancing in the dark is very peculiar and kind of makes me think it might be the best outcome. It seems weird to have two redundant Age of Dark/Dark Lord endings. Anybody got thoughts or quick interpretations?

Those were pretty much my thoughts. End the fire pretty much gels with my taste in endings though: sad, ambiguous but hopeful too. A few pages back somebody posted that they thought the Link the Fire ending showed it not working; you aren't consumed and the Dark Eclipse doesn't go away. I like that interpretation because successfully linking the fire seems pretty thematically incongruous with the rest of the game.

Zombies' Downfall posted:Anybody got thoughts or quick interpretations? My thoughts on that ending; I believe that is the natural state the world is working towards. For the fire to fade away but not gone completely, existing as faint embers that still illuminate the world in small ways. Its not the total darkness that would come from the abyss engulfing all, or the false age of fire that can only be continued by throwing more bodies onto the dying flame. I mentioned it before, but I think the dark sign resembling a solar eclipse is supposed to represent the nature of age of dark; brief light barely slipping bast a barrier a shadow. I don't think it is a "good" ending though, only because these games don't really have good ones. The age of dark might be the natural state but that doesn't mean it will be a pleasant one.

So Smouldering Lake might possibly be the most brutal level in a DS area. With all my fire gear and items I just can't fight it, there's too much. I've just been sprinting and pillaging.
