Who is Sen?

Who is Sen?

The dude who this fortress belonged to apparently.

I'm Sen.

Senua

The guy who obviously likes traps.

Some asshole who built a theme park
Next quest chin

It's the seat of Undead Burg's senator.

Sen was the guy who single-handedly built the fortress. No one knows who employed him, though

A douchebag with with fetish for snakemen

My neighbour

Whoever he is, he is a god DAMN ASSHOLE

>No one knows who employed him, though
Gwyn did. Andre tells you that Sen's Fortress was a proving ground for those who wanted to enter Anor Londo.

What a fag

a translation error. this game fucking sucks because all of the shit that would've actually made the story interesting was lost to retarded translators who were probably too busy telling women on Facebook to show vagene pics.

Thats actually a really good question Ive never seen asked in the myriad of DS threads over the years

Also, his fortress wasnt even as hard as blightown from the depths, fuck off with your memeing

wat

It was never explained. I always just assumed it was named after its real world designer

Formerly Chuck's.

I think he's implying the translators were Indian.

This. Fucking Sen.

He's the guy that designed that fortress
Not every architect needs fucking Imhotep fame

Sen's dead, baby. Sen's dead.

This is very common misconception.
Just because "sen" means "thousand" in Japanese doesn't mean it's "the fortress of a thousand traps".
The original clearly spells センの古城 meaning Sen is not a native Japanese word and most likely a given name. And it doesn't say anything about traps either. The fortress of a thousand doesn't exactly sound grammatically right even in Japanese.

Sen is the fucking man faggots. Don't hate him because you're jealous you'll never be half the man Sen is.

>gets into the guy's home
>fucks shit up
>sets all the traps
>"durrr who's Sen?"

You should be ashamed.

Why do snake people like living there?

Is prime vendrick the strongest character in dark souls lore considering how wrecked the big 4 bosses of DS1?

What? Vendrick didn't kill them, Chosen Undead did
The strongest character in lore is Prime Gwyn, easily.

He wrecked the big 4 of whoever that were during his lifetime, not the original DS1 bosses, since the player character killed those. Although I guess being on par with the player character is an achievement on its own for NPCs.
Pontiff Sulyvahn was pretty hardcore too.

>start googling for "who is sen"
>stumble upon some fucking fanfiction

pre-kindling gwyn is probably the strongest, barring some dragon we never actually see. i mean if gwyn had to assemble an army to beat them, you have to assume at least one of them was stronger than gwyn.

Sneed's Fort and Sort.

Vendrick was a chosen undead just like the PC, but he tried to break the rules.

THAT QUESTION WILL BE ANSWERED THIS SUNDAY NIGHT

right after sen's fortress is when the game starts feeling unfinished in parts.

maybe he filtered out his own developers
cuz they have to play through to make that part of the game
high as hell

I WAS TYPING THAT YOU CUNT

Nah. He was a king figure like Gwyn, but instead of allying with the other Lords against the dragons he subdued them instead to built his own empire.
Actually I think with if there were no dragons, Gwyn would have likely done the same thing.

I WANT TO BULLY YOTSUBA

dk2 shouldn't even count, honestly

who was strongest in dk1 and demon soul's universe's?

STOP

>tfw like Dark Souls lore but only played one and have no idea what most the lore threads are talking about

ALSO UNACCEPTABLE, GET LOST YANDA

What was the most annoying part about this for you guys?

I know you didn't have to kill them, but those 4 titanite demons were annoying as fuck with how tanky they were and their weird hurtboxes.

sen's fortress is my favorite zone in the series

NO

How can you only play 1 and not the others?

Most of the lore is concentrated around 1 and 3 anyway.

I feel you. I also have the issue of being shit at the game, barely scraped through once.

>How can you only play 1 and not the others?
>play 1
>go do something else
Pretty easy. Not sure how you don't grasp it.

...

Yosuke should really get a door chain to keep that faggot Yanda out.

Get the fuck out of here you cancer

you didn't like it enough to try the others?

how on earth did this turn into an anime thread?

...

I liked it well enough.

Okay fine. I'm gone.
oh wait

Gwynsen the Nameless King

>The fortress of a thousand doesn't exactly sound grammatically right even in Japanese.

That's because he was hit by a fucking boulder when writing out the name.

I'm gay and I don't like traps.

are there any lewds of yotsuba?

Yeah, in hell once you kill yourself.

Why do people sperg out over Sup Forums's former mascot being mistreated?

well damn im going in then

geez, gay AND bad taste

Sometimes you're born that way.
Other times, it's liking traps.

>invade someone in Sen's Fortress
>die to a trap

Jesus Christ, you really are mad on the memes.

That's all of DS lore

Also the fact that Gwyn's sons name was banished because he lost the annals, instead of Gwyn son's name being deleted from the annals (because he allied with the dragons)

Prime Gwyn, Manus, Prime Nito were probably stronger.

Also don't really see how Vendrick at any point could withstand the firestorms the Witch of Izalith could make.

a dude that built a fortress

I want someone to build an irl Sen's Fortress so we can send children through it and make a shitty reality tv show

legends of the hidden temple already exists

Yeah but is it lethal?

you ever see any of those kids after the show?

olmec's gotta eat afterall.

Dark souls lore discussion thread are the best. One of the few thing I actually enjoy reading on Sup Forums

Who wins out of Chosen undead, bearer of the curse, Ashen one and the hunter?

...

If the CU, BotC, AO, and GH all bent their dicks in a hook shape to simultaneously fuck each other in the ass, who would cum first?

Frampt is that you

I really struggled with the titanite demons. Don't think I even think I ever beat one without bow cheesing

>tfw no Legend of Hidden Temple game

Faggot

>mechanics
Hunter's the fastest
>lore
Power in Souls suffers from entropy, and slowly dwindles with each successive kindling of the flame. DaS1 was where more power was concentrated, so CU probably takes it

new head canon

I can't stop laughing holy shit.

Let's see...

>employs snakemen (imperfect dragons - seath)
>snakewomen use lightning attacks (like the blue drakes - seath)
>titanite demons, one in Anor Londo (seath)
>giant slaves - Anor Londo outcasts perhaps?
>imprisons Logan, the world-class sorcerer, instead of killing him (seath)
>finished by the events of Oolacile, renovated later

>divine blessing and lightning spear (a noble attempt?)
>golem is powered by an everlasting dragon bone (seath probably knows how to do that)

Sen is the name of the Nameless King, Gwyn's Firstborn, the Heir of Lightning, stricken from the annals after an act of foolishness, which was allying himself with the ancient dragons. Seath, the sorcerer dragon who possesses all the knowledge beyond the Vinheim college and very much sees Logan as both a threat and an asset, later improved upon its construction to better suit his wills - in fact, he collapsed the tunnel to Anor Londo, populated it with his serpent mutants and giant slaves, and installed the Iron Golem there expressly to stop Undead from coming in and interrupting him and the affairs of the city of the gods. Originally, it was just a simple proving grounds. The demon bats, however, still understood the prophecy of the Chosen Undead, and would escort anyone who managed to defeat the golem to the city. Remember, the golem had the ability to cut blades of the air itself - he would have imperiled the demon bats. Although everyone (gwyndolin, a victim of seath) is practically powerless to stop Seath and whatever he wanted to do, there are still workarounds. The demon bats are in league with the Primordial Serpents. If only Seath had more time... The linking of the fire doesn't matter, what matters is the prerequisite to it, which is stopping seath. Kaathe and Frampt are the same snake who both seek dominion over the wolrd. Their only true obstacle is Seath. Fire and Dark doesn't matter since we know the fires will just spark again

In Japanese the Sen is the first word and fortress is the last word. Same order translation would be (The) 1000's Fortress. Boulder wouldn't change the grammar problem.

lore behind implies that it was the the former chosen one from the future

Objectively the hunter because they killed literal extra-dimensional gods in the form of the old ones. After the hunter is the Ashen one since he killed the combination of all the Lords of Cinder into one being. Followed by the Ashen one is the Chosen undead and Bearer of the curse killed demi-gods and husks of powerful beings.

...

>Sen is the name of the Nameless King
i hate this meme

nameless king's name was literally stricken from history. why would they keep the fortress named after him?

Isn't it obvious?

This is Sen

Liking traps implies being gay, but it's not equivalent to being gay

Who's they?
Who's there to stop it?
Who's there to rename it?
All the gods are dead or gone. Just hollows and hermits now.
The only NPC that says the word "Sen" is Frampt, and that's where the player character gets the "SEN'S FORTRESS" intro from. Even if it was stricken from history, Frampt still refers to it as that, because Frampt knows. Of course he knows. He was there from the beginning, before Oolacile, which was about when the first iteration of it was finished.

Get the fuck out, never come back.
Even niggers swimming in a sewer have standards

"they" are the pre-ds1 gods running lordran.

obviously it wasn't as simple as gwyn saying "hey, stop using that name." it was memetic spell of sorts that literally removed it from existence. why, after we finally meet the nameless king, does he not have a name? by your logic, papa gwyn's been dead forever, so no one's stopping him from having one.
