Can we talk about the Ringed City without shitposting?

This shield is giving me high hopes for some content being about the ancient dragons. Also who do you think is going to be the final boss?

best dragon

I'm really interested in the insectoid enemy and the butterfly thing. They're mentioned as being connected with the abyss, which of course is linked with humanity. What I want to know is what other forms can "Humanity" manifest itself as, other than humans and some other examples we've seen. Basically, what's "further down the line" for humanity.

And why is everybody obsessed with these fucks? I'm much more interested more background on the dragons and their nature, the rebellion against Gwyn, and Velka's role in said rebellion and in "punishing" the gods

dumping DaS shit

best armor/coolest enemy

Yes he is. The dude was a saint.

There's something about the Black Knights that makes me so hype for them. Like, I'm not hype for fighting them, or for anything in particular, it's just some sort of awe I feel when thinking about them.

...

OP here, I really can't argue with you. I dropped this game hard after DLC1 came out. All I care about anymore is some kind of possible closure to the story with the final DLC

>THE FINAL BOSS OF THE DLC IS CHING CHONG NIP NONG

It's because they were Gwyn's most loyal knights who followed him into the kiln to link the fire for the first time, got fucking roasted, and now roam the land as lost spirits still trying to stop the player character from bothering Gwyn. That ontop of their great design

Getting it all out of the way so we can have actual discussion. You the real MVP.

best knights

...

Like they're going to give us anything other than meme references and fanservice. I've been waiting for some form of continuation of DaS 1's ending since DaS 2 has been announced.

...

The feeling is entirely justified.

Becouse the snakes make no sense and this is supposed the last ever souls thing ever

YOU LIE

Check yourself

>final boss is an Orochi, an 8 headed serpent dragon
>frampt and kaathe were the same being all along

alright, that is a convincing shoop

DaS3 is a direct continuation of DaS1 ending, and yet you go on memeing autistically about fanservice

>final boss of DS3 DLC is Yamato-no-Orochi
>final boss of Nioh is Yamato-no-Orochi

>final boss is an entire playthrough of dark souls 1

>mfw playing through everything after Dark Souls

Nah fuck bamco and fuck these "sequels." Its clear the same effort wasnt put into anything after Dark Souls, yes including Bloodborne

There are black knights in lost izalith?

I sort of expect the Ringed City DLC to be killing the reincarnated four Lords again.

Why was all the coolest shit in Dark Souls?

Well...they're the ones who manipulate the entire events of DaS1. Where did they come from? Do they take orders from someone else? I'm assuming they're related, what caused them to directly oppose each other?

Not to mention that the tapestries in the Friede fight with the two weird fucks killing two snakes, and the snakes engraved in the doors...there's a LOT of questions regarding these two that are never so much as mentioned. They are, besides Velka, the most unexplained phenomenon in the game given their influence in the world.

Not exactly.

They're in smoldering lake.

What points to them manipulating the events of Dark Souls? All I understood is that they guide the Chosen Undead onto one of two paths.

Velka on the other hand seems more like the cause of all that happens. The crow in the beginning is likely her agent

>don't touch DS3 until 1st DLC comes out
>it's shit and doesn't add anything worth caring about for more than 10 minutes
>drop it until the last DLC comes out

I hate this game so much, but I keep coming back. I doubt I'll touch it ever again after the final DLC though. What the fuck did they do

I played DS1 & 2 for hundreds of hours but this one I barely give two shits about and just want it all to end

Quelana best souls girl!

> yfw you hit an illusory wall in Smoldering Lake and there's a group of demons getting KNIGHT'D.

You keep coming back because its the last game
You hate it because it repeats the same mistakes as the other games, and barely brings anything new to the table. Its also linear and short.

...

best girl

> Good taste confirmed.

Based Daughters of Chaos.

They brought back shit load of trash weapons but didn't bring back the Silver Knight Weapons. Literally why

its kinda explained real vaguely in dks1 that the primordial snakes are servants of velka in a real vague ambiguous way

best boss theme

Gives me such chills after the dramatic Gwyn theme. Just leaves me feeling empty and unsure of everything I just did

Forgot link

youtu.be/AB6sOhQan9Y

Well, I guess it's simply the fact that each of them seems to clearly have an agenda (Frampt=LIGHT DA FIRE BITCH, Kaathe=FUCK THE SYSTEM) that they actively interact with you to promote. I don't know, I guess that cognizant and well-spoken characters are so few and far between in Souls games that it bugs me that we don't know who these behemoth nightmare creatures are or where they come from. Like, not even the slightest detail. We know more about the Pilgrims in DS3 than we know about the Primordial Serpents, and the former is only really background clutter for the most part.

This, plus the fact that they are apparently unkillable and capable of doing immense damage to anything that opposes them [Frampt is implied to have outright forced the Crestfallen to hollow once he decided to confront him]. The only other NPC in the entire game that you cannot harm in any way is AN EVERLASTING DRAGON.

Kaathe has manipulated at least one, possibly two, ancient cities into falling to rampant Humanity and desperately wants to convince the player that an Age of Dark would be a good thing. Frampt is somehow a confidant of Gwyn from the times of the Age of Ancients, despite never being mentioned in the intro, and is probably the only other being in all of Lordran apart from Gwyndolin that knows the truth about the Undead Curse. The games keep throwing hints and nudges and imagery that snakes are despicable, selfish, greedy beings that want nothing more than to devour whatever prey they can find.

Even if the devs have had no greater plan for them, there's a lot of potential there for an interesting story.

I haven't even played through the first DLC.
I haven't even looked at it at all. I haven't played the game at all before it was released. I used to be so excited about the series. Why doesn't this excite me anymore?

>youtube.com/watch?v=dkVSQq3_t_g

Majula & its music were so fucking comfy with the sound of the waves ..

The Soul of Cinder version was fucking perfect. It legitimately made me shiver.

see

>enemies falling off the ledges in Valley of the Drakes have the chance to show up alive and healthy in the Abyss
What the fug

Imagine fighting the Four Kings with seven of those drakes swooping at you.

HOLY SHIT user

EGG FROM THE TRAILER IS A VAGRANT SHELL

>Final boss of DLC2 is "The Dark Soul"

i dont care if its stupid, this shit would make me happy

2EZ
Beat him first try every time.

I bet the final boss is gonna be an enemy that jumps around really fast and has a big healthpool and does alot of damage. Also it has 2-3 health bars

I MISSED YOUR FUCKING BONFIRE YOU CUNT IMMA KILL YOUR FUCKING FACE

Bloodborne is brilliant, at least on par with Dark Souls 1
You're a nostalgia fag

>YAMERO

That actually doesn't sound that bad. Better fix the retarded fucking plunge hitbox this time though.

> Demon of Feces.
> It's another Soul of Cinder style "player boss."

I loveh ow there could literally be a boss called Demon of Feces but no one would bat an eye because we'd all be too busy being mad about the Smelter Demon being copypasted again.

There was a boss in Bloodborne called retarded spider or something so demon of feces is easy to believe

Imagine if the final boss was the Everlasting Dragon from DS1.

...

>implying these aren't the real translations

>古い巨大な灰色

What is the shields L2? I'm expecting it to breathe fire or something.

DON'T

>literally can't be hurt

I'm sorry, do I smell a fucking casul?

Hopefully the Twinkling Dragon Head Stone ability
Probably a flaming shield bash

>年齢の痛み

>you get the plume
>all NPCs congratulate you on top of the world

I hope the new boss is bullyable

I swear they patched her and made her harder than release day

shes annoying as fuck to fight now

Bullied her just today
Maybe you had a better weapon

> Firekeeper: Congratulations Ashen One!
> Yuria: Congratulations Ashen One!
> Painter Lady: Congratulations Ashen One!
> Chosen Undead: Congratulations Ashen One!

>Sen
>Velka

Don't do this to me, user. Those are the two figures I NEED more info on. Sen being called the "divine architect" might imply he designed Anor Londo and all it's moving parts? Fuck

>took 30 tries with my SS build, SL around 60-70
>1 try with Curved GS and Catherdral GS builds

I got fucked hard the first time I tried to do it. I also didn't know you could parry her.

Shes harder with people, I lay down my sign a lot to fight her and still only have like a 20% successes rate because the shitters who summon me die on her 3rd phase.


Wish the game had a boss rush mode so I could avoid other people to replay bosses

>The DLC is playing out how they fucked up the end of the Age of Dragons

Fund it.
