So...what's the egg again?

So...what's the egg again?

Time is convoluted.

...

Your hopes and dreams

MIYAZAKIIIIIIIII

The egg is the Ringed City. Look around when you're in there and you can see the walls of crystal that the egg has lining its inside. And there's no darksign sun.

Transposing kiln

a transposing kiln stitched with a vagrant

the egg is egg

she tried to make a hardboiled egg but got swamp grass stuck in her eyes and wound up trying to eat a geode instead

I thought Angel's Egg is getting a remake

I like this theory. Doesn't contribute much as to what it's actually doing but it's plausible in some respect.
Lord knows what it's transposing through.

It's the Pygmy Lords prison.

She's transposing her own soul to keep the city "alive" but crumbling the kiln breaks the connection and thus ashes

BUT HEY, THAT'S JUST A THEORY, A GAME THEORY, THANKS FOR WATCHING.

it's just more plagiarized shit
Miyazaki is a fraud hack

But then why couldn't you meet the Pygmy Lords in the city before the spell broke? You could have cucked Gael

Yep, pretty much the end result of all of DS3 "lore"

>meet the Pygmy Lords
Wait what?

Hang on, where are they?

Shit I didn't know new shit spawned, I've gotta go around and explore.

Priscilla

No,that's the problem, they aren't anywhere, they've been sealed off by magic somehow, and the prison only opens when the magic breaks. I posit that the egg is their cell.

it's just a reference to Angel's Egg

I would rape her tbqh

Their cell is the Ringed City. We just couldn't get to wherever they were. Maybe it was that isolated building right next to Filianore's place.

Are you guys fucking stupid? It's Darkeater Midir's egg.

My nigga


Amano is amazing

If the eggs a prison then why can we go back after its broken?

But that doesn't explain why Gael, who was hunting them down, also had to wait

He made one of Moorcock's favorite Elric design so as much as i think Angel's Egg is style over substance, i can't stay mad at him.

Obviously. But dragon eggs are enchanted objects, so what are they doing with it?

If Oolacile is in the past, how could we warp back to the present via bonfire?

I don't remember, but did Gael's signs ever show up after the Dreg Heap?

It's completely style over substance. It's trite and tries to be 2deep5u when it's actually pretty damn shallow of a concept. But it's beautiful and stylish as hell; and that is completely fine.

>But dragon eggs are enchanted objects, so what are they doing with it?

What? Darkeater Midir was a friendly dragon until he ate too many dark burgers. I don't know how they got an egg, they just make shit up these days.

>If Oolacile is in the past, how could we warp back to the present via bonfire?

How are you in the city after the eggs broken I mean. If the egg was un-broken when you wrapped back with time travel that would make perfect sense

>the entirety of Dark Souls is just a swamp gas illusion

Yeah, plus notes and scraps of his red cape. NPCs also describe him stalking around TRC looking for them

>you never left the cell in 1
>you never escaped the woods in 2
>you never left firelink/graves in 3

I must've completely missed that. I thought I caught everything.

Weather balloons where?

I don't get what you are trying to say here

>all 3 games were just illusions induced by inhaling swamp gas farted from the ass of a chick who cant cook and got swamp grass in her eyes

Gael told her she could leave after she ate all the eggs.

she didn't

Because the city itself isn't the prison, it's just the egg that is the prison. Breaking the egg lets the Pygmys out, leaving them open for Gael to chomp, and the resultant awakening of Filianore breaks her sleep-spell and un-dams the flow of time around the city.

Its not trying to be deep at all. The director simply wanted to convey his struggles with continuing his faith in Christianity.

But I thought the person you met right in the beginning of the city proper was a pygmy?

People keep telling me that he was THE Furtive Pygmy, and he escaped Gwyns trap unlike the Lords he had made, which is why he is so asshurt at the Gods.

Personally, I believe it because the Pygmy that you're talking about doesn't have a crown (unlike the guys you see in Gaels arena) meaning that he either was never a Lord (unlikely) or he took it off to lay low.

Theres this dude in the ringed city
Ask you whether you serve the gods or only pretend to.
Looks exactly like the pygmy lords at the end of the world.

What was his problem?

There were other pygmies who weren't lords, right? I think if any one of them was THE Furtive Pygmy, it'd be Manus.

this. i have no idea what the fuck this dlc is suppose to imply but all this lore talk makes zero fucking sense and sounds tacked on for the whole souls universal lore

>fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin
what did he mean by this?

So what is gaels motivation in telling you to "take the plunge"

MAY THE ABYSS'S CURSE TAKE THE GODS

Pygmies just mean early humans, but the Pygmy Lords were the guys the Furtive Pygmy set up as the ruling council of his new human society alongside himself, they got the lion's share of the Dark Soul while normal men only got slivers.

This guy is the only Pygmy Lord you speak with, but he seems to have abandoned his fellows and renounced his right to rule.

Manus being the Furtive Pygmy was left purposefully vague because powerlevel-wise, there was very little difference between the Furtive Pygmy and the Pygmy Lords that he appointed.

the non-hostile ones say that because they're asking for you to accept your death and also for permission to eat you

that's some interesting headcanon you got there

I had meant to link to this post , not Sillyman

his duty and his passion

I SHALL PARTAKE

Why couldnt redman touch or find the egg?

Seems odd that everything was fine until you touched it.

What do you mean headcanon? Do you deny the idea that the Pygmy Lords were the original rulers of TRC and all of humankind? Do you deny that they got the big boy pieces of the Dark Soul, relative to normie humans? These were both made very clear in the DLC.

Do you deny that the Pygmy that you speak has separated himself from his fellows and makes no claim of friendship with them? Or that he is missing his crown (the symbol of a justly-appointed ruler)?

Stop stealing ideas, Vaati

Knowing Miyazaki, it's probably the Egg of the Perfect World.

he was busy gathering up all the humanity (fragments of the dark soul) for all eternity
he needed you to do some other stuff first

How considerate of them

Cuz' method man is movin' on your left-uh.

IT'S A FUCKING EVA UNIT YOU DIP

its a vagrant

Are vagrants even canon? It also looks nothing like a vagrant, vagrants are slime crab monsters and the egg has a shell

vagrants were always filled with humanities
they traveled through time and worlds keeping their own form
the opposites to gwyn's Soul of light and time

>the egg has a shell
so do vagrants

Angel's Egg reference.

why was she huge? isn't she supposed to be a normal human?

it's interesting how it could imply a tie to the Deep

She's Gwyn's daughter. She's a Lord.

I dunno, I still think that it was Midir's dragon egg, they say that he was born and raised in TRC, didn't they

funny how the growth on top looks like the same thing on Master Willem

i thought she was the pygmy's daughter or something

So what the fuck happened after you woke here up? Did she send you to the future? Was she an illusion?

fromsoft has a thing for white long mushrooms

Sent to the future, she was keeping the city time-locked, so when you break the spell everything ages 10000000 instantly and crumbles to dust

The Small Envoy Banner says she's Gwyn's youngest daughter.

Wait, so... I was... the bad guy?

No.

Gwyn was bad guy

>Sent to the future, she was keeping the city time-locked

where is this implied?

Are the Locust preachers a reference to the Bible?

>The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.
>Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.
>They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.
>They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.
>They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon

When you think about it, the fact that the Deep -- a giant ocean/lake made out of stray humanity -- emerges from the depths of the world for the Age of Dark is very fitting. After all, the Dark is the opposite of fire, and so naturally the darkness version of a roaring first flame would be a viscous fluid, since the two concepts are in opposition. Hence why Humanity is always described as being almost like a liquid (that's somehow still a fire but a liquid fire).

It almost makes me think that the Age of Dark would look like the end of NGE only with the tang being the Deep, and everything is obviously mostly pitch-black. The guys outside the Deep (tang) are the Dark Lords who kept their humanity and avoided going hollow, and they "enjoy" the Dark while the hollows either get mired in the Deep or shuffle around aimlessly.

who was bad guy

I am bad guy.

The fact that you physically watch the city crumble to ash and herself turn into a mummy before your very eyes as soon as she is awakened? It's like that scene from the Last Crusade when the nazi guy drinks from the fake holy grail and dies of old age in 2 seconds.

>a giant ocean made out of stray humanity
where was that explained?

the fact that she's hollowed, everything around you is in ruins and filled with an ash desert, gael became 5 times THICC-er

Man the book of revelations is hardcore.

hollows sure changed throughout the games
Ds1: nearly a skeleton
Ds2: rotting flesh zombie
Ds3: looking even more human

>The fact that you physically watch the city crumble to ash

yea that didn't happen. the egg crumbled to ashes, and then the illusion was dispelled. the transformation actually happens in an instant flash of light, it's nothing like the indiana jones scene.

Gwyn's plot was to turn the pygmies into pygmy-god hybrids.

The Deep is comprised of human soul dregs (which look like humanity sprites, see Great Deep Soul) which sink down into the bottom of the world upon death (meaning that they are weighty, an attribute given to Humanity since DaS1). Combine this with the long-established relation between the Deep and Humanity -- it infuses Dark-dealing weapons -- and we conclude that the Deep is made of stray humanities that escaped their corpses. Perhaps the fate of all the humanities in your dropped bloodstains? We may never know.

As to what "the depths of the world" may be, some have put forth that it's normally coalescing at the bottom of Ash Lake before the crunch of geography at the end of time, since it's surrounding "environment" seems to be watery. So it would be like a layer of freshwater that lurks at the bottom of the ocean.

What's the deal with Marvellous Chester?

Gwyn was right, the Dark sucks and the only way to make it suck less is to bully the shit out of everyone around you until a stronger bully comes along to bully you

he's from yharnam

He was Sans. But hey, that's just a theory...
