Solaire wasnt actually a good person

Guys when he recieves his true goal he literally tries to kill you immediatelt after because he no longer needs you. Solaire clearly isnt "happy" like all the praise the sun faggots seem to think, hes clearly heavily depressed, and when he fails his goal, he plunges directly into mental darkness. Solaire is evil guys, he only pretends to be nice.

A theme in Dark Souls is that a goal, a promise or a duty can keep you from going entirely hollow. That's why the onion knight dies in DS3 after he kills Yhorm.

Dark Souls is basically an absurd nightmare world, when characters can't see the silver lining or hope they lose it. Hollowness is like an analogy to losing meaning/humanity in life.

He went hollow/sunlight maggot atw his brain.

He was a cool guy for the rest of the game.

>heavily depressed

makes him more relatable desu

trying to keep up appearances to hide the void inside is my jam

You can keep him from going hollow but its kind of a chore and if you do you can summon him for gwyn where he links the flame in his world according to a dev tweet or something.

I guess you read "that" comic huh?

Solaire is canonically the giant worm in Smouldering Lake.

STOP SPREADING THIS MEME

No he's the soul of cinder

Prove me wrong.

this comic is fucking trash. Stop reminding me of this.

The burden of proof is on you for the retarded statement, you shit hawk

>hes clearly heavily depressed

i'd be depressed too if i was gay

>"Burden of proof"

Shut the fuck up cuck \[+]/

More like Sunlight Faggot.

Vaati pls don't steal.

Okay so it's pretty obvious that Gael is fucking old and has seen some shit. Used to be (or I guess still is) a Slave Knight, has a battered sword, badass scruffy beard. That all points to him being pretty fucking old. Maybe from Lordran? Anyways I think what happened was that after the Chosen Undead beat Gwyn with Solaire's help (this is canon, anyone that didn't save Solaire is a shitter), Solaire returned to his own world and fought Gwyn hoping to link the fire. Instead Gwyn opened a portal back to the past and knocked him into it, sending Solaire all the way back to the past where he was forced to become a Slave Knight. He loses all his gear but still has his miracles and shit, and he can summon lightning storms when he absorbs the dark soul(s). So over this time period all the way to Lothric, Solaire has seen some shit. He's on the verge of hollowing, partly from all the battles he's been in but also from those horrible assless chaps he has to wear. At some point he meets painter girl and she tells him about her dream of a cold, gentle place. Totally the opposite of that incandescent wargod shit he idolized before. So he's like hell ya let's do it Priscilla (?).

Miyazaki is a genius. We finally got to fight Solaire as a true boss. Great sendoff for the series.

Stfu the earth is not an oblate spheroid

So why is his name Gael then?

And why is Yorshka not named Pricsilla?

LONG AGO IN A DISTANT LAND, I, GWYN, THE FLAMELINKING MASTER OF SUNLIGHT, UNLEASH AN UNSPEAKABLE EVIL. BUT A FOOLISH KNIGHT WIELDING A NORMAL SWORD, STEP FORTH TO OPPOSE ME.
*parry*
BEFORE THE FINAL BLOW WAS STRUCK, I TORE OPEN A PORTAL IN TIME, AND FLUNG HIM INTO THE PAST, WHERE ROLL COST NO STAMINA
NOW THE FOOL SEEKS TO RETURN TO THE FUTURE, AND UNDO THE PAST THAT IS GWYYYN

Get lost, you wouldn't recognize a goddamn sunbro if one jumped up and bit you on the end of your fuckin' dick

same voice actor

Solaire was never his real name, just a cheesy nom de guerre. Sol is literally sun. After realizing Gwyn was a shitter he gave up his war name and painter girl gave him a new one.

K dude i see that you are a newfag but that bug was a parasite that made him crazy.

being with a bug on his face was never he goal, it's most likely that his goal was an abstract concept, not a real thing, you can see that he is really desperate for a reason to live,

but it's also interesting that he didn't went hollow, but instead he went insane, but that was partially if not fully the bugs fault.

also, canonically, you are meant to save him by killing the bug, and not to let him become insane.

so yes he was a good guy.

>Guys when he recieves his true goal he literally tries to kill you immediatelt after because he no longer needs you.
The sunlight maggot isn't his goal. He thinks it is because its taken over his mind.

I never trusted that bastard. Nobody who stares at the sun all day can be sane.

>tfw he was getting progressively worse
>even though he's the brightest person ever

Killing him off hurt me a lot. Goddamn it Miyazaki. ;_;

He doesn't, he does things, but in Dark Souls npcs don't move ever until you take half of their HP.

This is really, really shitty, because in demon's souls some npcs walked around and killed regular enemies, etc, and some of them would help you with bosses.

summoning an npc like solaire to a boss is so shitty, like, there's no risk of them dying forever like in demon's souls, but that's part of the fun.

besides that , summoned npcs don't even talk, so there's no reason for you to give a fuck about them, and if they die whatever, just summon them again, it's so bland.

when you compare this silent glowing npc to Biorr fighting the Penetrator or the dragons, dark souls is shit at this aspect compared to des.

I know it's safer to just let the NPC don't move so there's no chance of him dying, but I think that making them just stand still forever and them teleport to the next place was not the right thing.
