"Those fools on the outside" decide to unnaturally prolong the life of a world instead of letting it to be reborn. It's the main theme of AoA. It basically shits all over the fire linking and also hints at that Lord of Hollows ending is terrible too.
Burning the painted world is the same as destroying the First Flame permanently on the outside, in both cases it resets the world. Friede wanted stagnation, but that stagnation caused painted world to rot and Corvians to mutate horribly.
> who fucked Priscilla Dunnel. It's stated almost openly given the choice of words in describing his wife and the fact that Priscilla is referred to as an "abomination" in DS1.
Levi Parker
Yeah, the fact that it's someone from Londor smothering the painting's flame is probably important. I guess the Usurper ending isn't the "escape the cycle" bullshit people think it is.
Angel Reyes
...
Xavier Clark
Basically both fire linking and usurper endings are two sides of the same coin. They are both terrible because they lead to stagnation, just through different means.
Usurper ending is probably even worse because there's no hope to let the flame die already as you're now a living embodiment of hollow fire who is probably stronger than any god.
Gavin Brown
WHO IS THAT QT AT AT 1:00 I NEED TO KNOW
Christopher Richardson
Probably just another big girl with zero dialogue, potentially a boss or very closely related to a boss as well.
Connor Moore
One thing I notice is that the painting is supposed to be destroyed in the act of making a new one, but in the real world the old world is never destroyed completely. Vinheim, Carim, Catarina, fucking Andre, all still around. The world has never been completely destroyed. Of course if Prisicilla's little tower is of any indication, the painting still keeps shit around. >caused Corvians to mutate horribly We don't know how many paintings existed between Ariamas and Ariandel. Maybe each successive painter was worse at painting sexy crow ladies and we get left with the shit-dragging freaks.

THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Brody Baker
I was just thinking of keeping weapon classes and stats way simpler like Bloodborne did
Vitality increases health Endurance increases stamina Strength governs all melee prowess Magic increases FP, attunement slots, and the effectiveness of spells Luck has the same effects as all of the above at a significantly lower rate, as well as improving drop rates at a 1:1% ratio.
Armor has been dramatically simplified. This isn't to stop you from making fashion, just a bit of optimization.
Weapons and shields that can be wielded are determined by your strength stat and don't affect your weight at all.
Armors are further divided by weight class, which dictate rolling speed and stability bonus for blocking.
light armor allows for fast rolls but lack of weight reduces stability
Medium armor is manuverable enough for medium rolls, and is weighty enough to grant full stability.
heavy armor greatly restricts your movement and only allows for fat rolls. It is quite heavy and grants bonus stability.
ultra armor is extremely cumbersome and bulky. rolling will grant very few iframes and has very high recovery. movement speed is slowed. The exorbitant weight gives an extreme bonus to stability.
There's so much more I want to write but I'm super tired.
Night lads.
Isaiah Parker
Possibly Gwyn's youngest daughter, who was never mentioned before.
Aaron Allen
Queen of Lothric
Leo Sanchez
Who was Gwyn's wfie?
Parker Parker
Why the hell did he abandon his daughter there though? Was this right before he left with his knights to rekindle the flame, or what?
Also >are there any other Gwyns we should know about?!
Camden Baker
How long is AoA? I have over 80 hours in DS III and now tempted to buy the season pass just to get new content. But I dont want to pay too much money for a shit dlc
Brayden Garcia
So long as it means that Queen of Lothric isn't Gwyneviere that's great. Always hated that theory.
Anthony Harris
3-5 hours, maybe more or maybe less depending on what SL you go into it at and how much exploration you do.
If you like duel type pvp then there's more value in it from the arena it added.
Hunter Davis
Actually, that's way too fucking generous, it's more like 2-3 hours of content at best.
William Flores
Now Iam twisted, 3-5 hours sounds fair, 2-3 kinda meh.
Logan Gomez
If you enjoy the game in general then it's hard to really go wrong with it, but the safest bet is definitely waiting to see how the last DLC turns out.
Nolan Brooks
Velka. On a serious note, it was never mentioned. For all we know, each child of Gwyn had a different mother.
Elijah Martinez
Is this a nod to the Kiln in 1? Also, are clutch rings any good for 2? Using the dark clutch with CBS and I can't say I'm impressed
James Reyes
It's a nod to Zelda torch puzzles.
Bentley Gonzalez
*could've had
Tyler Baker
No, I mean the "4 flames to open a door" thing. Unless the Kiln itself was a nod to zelda puzzles as well
Gabriel Russell
>not posting THE BEST
Levi Cook
Why? It's pretty obvious
Caleb Phillips
Do the Gods even reproduce sexually?
Brody Evans
Don't spoil the DLC entrance like that
Noah Mitchell
I know you're probably joking but what is it with souls faggots ad their obsession with Velka?
A literally who character no more important than Loyd and yet people always get butthurt when she's not in a new game/dlc
Alexander Ortiz
It's because of the relationship between lorefags and Down's syndrome.
Jack Davis
How so? she is suppose to marry Flann, god of flame.
Ethan Price
There's a decriptions that mentions Gwynevere (who was a goddess) becoming a wife and mother and giving birth to heavenly children or something like that.
Jeremiah Cruz
ENB used to have an obsession with her back in the day for no reason, that's how it began I think.
Jordan Gutierrez
We're gonna need a bigger sword.
Jacob Williams
I feel like hope for her appearing in TRC is the only thing keeping him going these days.
Carson Gray
What's the recommended level for Smouldering lake?
Jeremiah Lopez
>darksouls.wikidot.com/divine-blessing >Holy water from Goddess Gwynevere. Fully restores HP and undo irregularities. The Goddess of Sunlight, Gwynevere, daughter of the great Lord of Sunlight Gwyn, is cherished by all as the symbol of bounty and fertility. >cherished by all as the symbol of bounty and fertility
>darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Divine Blessing >Holy water blessed by the Queen of Lothric. Fully restores HP and cures ailments. The Queen of Lothric, married to the former King Oceiros, was initially revered as a goddess of fertility and bounty. After giving birth to Ocelotte, her youngest, she quietly disappeared. >revered as a goddess of fertility and bounty
I think Flann got BLACKED by Aldrich and that's why Aldrich has flame abilities.
Jonathan Garcia
40 to 50 if we're talking NG
Blake Rodriguez
35-45 is a solid range for it
Brayden Martin
30-40 I guess
Aiden Hill
Aldrich's flame powers only appear in his second stage like the rest of the lords of cinder who've already linked the flame, unless there's a specific reason for the three of them I think that's just something you gain after linking it.
Nathaniel Watson
They take the mistranslation of the divine blessing seriously She seems to be connected to a lot of things. She has strong ties to the painted world (crows/velka's rapier/black set), which makes her the most likely candidate for the statue, which then connects her with new londo (same statues above and in front of the entrance to 4kings, same staues in the lifts), she might be responsible for bringing you to lordran (giant crow). Subsequently in DS3 she's connected to Londor (Vow of Silence), which in its own ways connects to New Londo (Kaathe/Dark Hand) strengthening her connection to it. She's one of those influencial people who work behind the scenes. I really doubt she'll directly be in TRC, but her presence will as always be apparent to those who know where to look
Jayden Nguyen
25-35 seems to be the best
Owen Rogers
>mistranslation
What's the correct translation?
Blake Nguyen
You're probably right, I always forget that most of the LoCs have flaming second stages.
Jayden White
yeah but the item said she left Anor Londo to marry Flann, so he can't be there. Either: Oceiros is Flann (doubt), Flann died from (?) and she remarried. who do we know that are the children of Gwynevere?
Luke Ward
Are you talking about the mother and child statues ?
Aaron Bell
At the very least, one of her descendands is the queen
Hunter Harris
yes That she was compared to the goddess of fertility. But I'm not 100% that is true, I didn't do the translation. Might actually be bullshit and she actually is Gwynevere
Parker Nelson
What happened to ENB, did he burn out?
Ayden Peterson
Speaking of statues, am I seeing things or are the statues decorating that lone tower in TRC the same ones as in the painted World/New Londo ?
Elijah Flores
...
Hunter Anderson
He's too busy handing out life advice and spouting psuedo philosophical things to people.
Easton Perry
It's not like Aldrich would've had to eat him in Anor Londo, that's just where he is now. Whether or not Aldrich was responsible I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that something happened to Flann.
If Guenevere is the queen of Lothric then the Lothric bros. are her sons, which might explain the holy magic.
I don't think there have been any direct confirmations on this but there are theories that the Dancer and Rosaria are daughters of Gwynevere since you can make the bountiful & soothing sunlight miracles from them. The Dancer's soul states that she's a distant daughter of the royal family, although that may just mean that she's related to Gwyn through someone else.
Nathan Turner
GRAPE POPSICLE seriously guys, is dark clutch worth? pve only seems similar and there's a lot of reason for them to be but lets not jump to conclusions GOTEM XD
Colton Cox
Probably, he hasn't streamed anything Souls related since last year.
Jason Campbell
Don't forget Gertrude my dude
Nathan Parker
Last time I checked his wife divorced him and tried to take their kid with her, he's also playing Nioh now
Tyler Stewart
>tfw I'm always get there at 50+
Am I doing something wrong?
Landon Rogers
ahahahahhahha what the fuck
Dominic Hughes
>Guenevere I'm not sure how I managed that, u and w aren't even close together.
Brandon Edwards
I think they're trolling, Smouldering Lake always feels like a late game area, no matter when I go there
Elijah Flores
You're taking the time to kill everything or you put most of the souls you get towards leveling up or both. Also you have to be careful when making an invasion build. Invading is mostly upward.
Matthew Reed
It's the worst area in the game, go there at high level so you can get it done fast.
Xavier Hernandez
No, don't worry about it. As long as you explore it around the same level as the catacombs you're fine.
Jack Russell
Apparently his wife was just in it for the green card and left him ASAP.
Mason Barnes
No, it's extremely easy to rapidly advance in levels in DaS3 if you're primarily investing in your stats.
I mean, they even give you a ring for more souls right away, I regularly end up with fat stacks of 50-100k souls with nothing to spend them on because it will put me vastly ahead of where I want to be for online stuff.
Jaxon Powell
Not the guy you're replying to, a few months ago he said in a video that they'd been living apart for a while and that she wasn't the person he thought she was. Don't know anything beyond that.
Elijah Smith
You take the rice, you pay the price
Nolan Foster
Eat the rice, pay the price.

Brayden Reed
Where can I read up on the drama?
Nicholas Brooks
read the pastebin in the OP
Kayden Moore
If I had to change Dark Souls it would be >Remove all the Golden Fog Gates >Bells of Awakening are only for Gwyn >Remove Sen Fortress's Gate >Elevator after Iron Golem actually works >Completely walkable to every location without a single cutscene or multiple bosses
Benjamin Russell
Which one?
Luke Hernandez
Which one?
Chase Jones
That'd be a nightmare for someone's first playthrough, though. Those changes would suite veteran players, not new ones.
Luke Edwards
The DLC has got to have a new fist weapon r-right?
Joseph James
Lol hopefully Trump trump's her
Asher Rogers
"Hey where do I go?" "Anywhere."
Dark Souls, 11/10 best game
Zachary Thompson
why would we have a pastebin about eceleb?
Tyler Scott
I'd rather have some clever way to bypass Sen's gate instead of outright removing it.
Easton Lee
Someone recommend me a cool looking/flashy/decent STR/FTH weapon for DS3
Colton Wilson
>snipe the stupid giant with a weapon only able to get after >NG+ required
Juan White
Bastard sword Or Drakeblood greatsword
Nicholas Sullivan
there is one
Nolan Diaz
The executioner's greatsword is a good STR weapon and can leech enough FP to allow you to use blessed weapon on it repeatedly, especially if you combine it with Aldrich's sapphire.
Christian Butler
Pretty sure Gwyn made most of the anor londo "gods" with "magic". Lloyd is supposed to be Gwyn's uncle. Gwyn probably just gave Lloyd powers when he found the lord soul because they were related.
James Campbell
It was at the start of the Age of Fire probably, since Gwyn gave the city and his daughter to the Pygmies and promised to return for the daughter one day. So I guess it was before they realized the first flame had a time limit.
Cameron Cox
What's the fastest way to farm Proofs? Online or silver knights?
Thomas Moore
>Lloyd is supposed to be Gwyn's uncle. According to nobody but Lloyd himself, which is why nobody cares about him in 3.
