Dark Souls (Video Game)	comment	Dark Souls is the first game in the Dark Souls series, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game is directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, who previously directed Demon's Souls, the predecessor to Dark Souls.In the Age of Ancients, the world was unformed, and shrouded by fog: a land of gray crags, arch-trees, and everlasting dragons. But then there was fire, and with it disparity: heat and cold, life and death, light and dark. From the dark came the four lords: Nito, the First of the Dead. The Witch of Izalith and her daughters of chaos. Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights. And the Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten. Aided by Seath the Scaleless, a traitorous dragon, they brought an end to the dragons, and ushered in a golden age called the Age of Fire. But now the flames are fading. The world suffers through endless nights, and mysterious brands called the Darksign curse humans with eternal undeath. These immortal undead are doomed to eventual madness as they lose their humanity, and thus are locked away in an asylum in the north to await the end of the world.Players take the role of one of these undead, as they break out of the Undead Asylum and begin a quest through the huge, non-linear world of Lordran to ring the twin Bells of Awakening, prophesied to reveal the fate and true purpose of the undead.The game is an Action RPG very much like Demon's Souls, and reuses many elements, such as the combat, online mechanics, and Nintendo Hard difficulty.The game was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 22, 2011 in Japan and October 4 and 6, 2011 in North America and Europe. A PC port, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition was later released August 24th 2012. The PC port content was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 as DLC named "Artorias of the Abyss" on October 23, 2012. On December 15th, 2014 FromSoftware began the PC version's transition off of the now defunct Games for Windows Live platform in favor of upgrading to support Steamworks, allowing players to transfer their data and achievements in the process. It has two sequels, Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III.An Updated Re-release, Dark Souls: Remastered, was released May 25, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The remaster adds up to 6 player online pvp / co-op, redone textures, minor quality-of-life improvements to the menu interfaces and level design, and depending on the platform, improved lighting, resolutions, frame rate and so on. And yes, praise the sun, they fixed Blighttown.The following mods have their own pages: Dark Souls: Daughters of Ash Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Again The Scorched ContractFor its unofficial Fan Sequel, see Dark Souls: Nightfall.

On the plus side, these versions are somewhat easier to dodge than the club-wielding versions.

Unlike a lot of games, armour doesn't change its appearance depending on the wearer— a woman wearing full body plate is almost indistinguishable from a man, while a man wearing female armour (such as the Maiden Set) is basically cross-dressing.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_16972b3c	comment	Peninsula of Power Leveling: In Darkroot Garden, just after the sealed door, the player can gain several thousand souls each time by tricking each hostile NPC into running off a cliff, and there is a bonfire just outside the door. The only downside is that getting past the door early requires grinding 20,000 souls to purchase the Crest of Artorias from Andre (or making the very unwise decision to kill him for it). Anor Londo is considered the best place to grind for souls in the game: The first area has six Sentinels who drop 1,500 souls each for a total of 9,000 souls for clearing them all, and the Darkmoon Knightess' bonfire right between all of them to reset them. The entire main castle section (between the fog gate and Ornstein and Smough's arena). Not only does it have a ton of Silver Knights (about a dozen of them, if you're willing to hunt them all down) that drop a thousand souls each, there's also the Royal Sentinels (two of them, worth 3,000 souls apiece) and two more Sentinels worth a collective 3,000; that's 21,000 souls on New Game, and 63,000 on New Game Plus, before overkill and Covetous Silver Serpent Ring/Symbol of Avarice boosts are applied. As if that weren't enough, Ornstein and Smough are among the most active multiplayer bosses, and have a huge soul yield (25,000 for a New Game Phantom and a record-high 75,000 for a New Game Plus Phantom), so cuing up to be summoned while grinding is as lucrative as boss-grinding can be. Once you open the front door in the Painted World of Ariamis, you can farm the phalanx monsters in the middle of the courtyard, just a few dozen steps away from the bonfire. The underground cavern in the Tomb of Giants area, just before you encounter the boss Gravelord Nito, where small skeletons respawn infinitely whenever you walk into the water at the bottom of the cavern. The skeletons are easy to kill (although because this is Dark Souls they can still pose a danger if you're not careful and they mob you) and, while they don't drop a lot of souls on their own, you can fight so many of them at once it racks up quickly. Even better, they're one of the very few enemies in the game to also drop Humanity, so this is an excellent place to grind especially if you're trying to gain ranks in the Chaos Servant covenant.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_18bf4326	type	Anti-Magic
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_18bf4326	comment	Miracles are supportive spells meant to accent a "cleric" style of play, and scale off of Faith. Their repertoire includes several varieties of Heal, which can be a huge help for slower, tankier characters who shrug off damage instead of moving out of the way. They apply Holy damage to their weapons and Holy defense to their shields, and have powerful defensive spells like Wrath of the Gods and Karmic Justice to keep things even. They also notably function as Anti-Magic characters, since the miracle Vow of Silence can prevent casters (including themselves) from using spells in an area around themselves for a short time. Miracles use Talismans to cast their magic, as well as primarly dealing Holy-accented Magic damage with occasional dips into Lightning. Sunlight Miracles are the higher tier of Faith magic, and mostly act as straight upgrades to the normal Miracles. In particular, Sunlight Miracles are fleshed out as full-on support magic, with Soothing Sunlight and Bountiful Sunlight acting as area of effect heals. This makes Sunlight Miracles very useful for cooperative play. In addition, the powerful Sunlight Spear and Sunlight Weapon miracles deal very strong lightning damage, making them useful for combat outside of cooperation. Gravelord Miracles are fairly underdeveloped, with only two miracles to their repitoire- Gravelord Sword Dance and Gravelord Greatsword Dance. Ultimately, both are the same spell, and are used by Gravelords to defend themselves when players invade them to stop their curses. Gravelords also come equipped with the very powerful Gravelord Sword weapon, which can make up for their lack of variety in useable spells, and their Faith requirement of zero makes them powerful to use for any player.

Mid-game, the locales turn more hostile, including Blighttown and Sen's Fortress. Late-game areas are even more threatening and/or far more esoteric, including The Grim Reaper's crypt, a cave made entirely of crystal shards, and finally a giant kiln surrounded by a wasteland of ashes. Artorias of the Abyss has its own sequence of escalating geography: It starts in a forest with a few ruins. Then you find a coliseum and on the other side is a ruined city. Through the city you find a path to an underground mine filled with physical manifestations of darkness.

This ending is like the good ending in Demon's Souls, in which it gives an excuse for the constant New Game Plus cycle.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_1bc2e445	comment	End of an Age: The entire point of the game. The Age of Fire, the time when the gods ruled the world, is coming to an end. The lords' powers are spent, their kingdom of Lordran is an empty ruin populated entirely by undead, and the First Flame that made it all possible is rapidly fading away. At the end, it rests on the Player Character's shoulders to either extend the Age of Fire for just a little longer... or to snuff it out entirely and usher in the Age of Dark.

Even worse, one accidental hit on one, be it a merchant, or a blacksmith, and that NPC is permanently hostile, and often leads to their death, which can be disastrous later on if you happen to kill a merchant. You can make all hostile, yet alive, NPCs non hostile by paying Oswald of Carim an obscene amount of souls. 500 souls times your Soul Level to be exact, resulting in (for example) people at level 50 needing to amass 25,000 souls just so the woman who sells moss doesn't try to kill you.

Considering most of the inmates appear to be mindless hollows who just stand around slumped, there's probably little concern for danger from anyone partially armed, especially with the Asylum Demon kept there. Downplayed with the prison in the Duke's Archives: your cell is incredibly easy to escape from, since you can keep your gear that's heavily upgraded by this point and the guard with the key is just snoozing outside your cell waiting for you to stab it in the back. Then again, there are Crystal Hollows in your cell and as soon as you get out, the guards unleash Picasas on you.

Your character either postpones the start of the End of the World as We Know It while driving the world into further chaos by killing dozens of powerful beings on the journey â€” or starts the apocalypse, choosing to be the ruler of a dying world. Also, if the interpretation hinted at by several collaborated statements of Word of God is true, then by giving up on the game before completing it, your character begins going insane and fully turning into a Hollow. In the end, it comes down to either delaying the end, with almost a complete consensus from all characters that there is no way to completely stop it, or getting it over with.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_2a552d44	comment	Recurring Element: Almost every FromSoftware game features recurring elements and Call-Backs to earlier games they made, and Dark Souls contained multiple to Demon's Souls: The Asylum Demon strongly resembles the Vanguard, except you're supposed to run from it during the extremely difficult first encounter rather than dying to it. The Hellkite Dragon on the bridge between Undead Burg and Undead Parish is a repeat of the Red Dragon (and to a lesser extent, the Blue Dragon) from the Boletarian Palace, being an ultra-strong dragon stage hazard that breathes fire down a bridge. The Bell Gargoyles are take-two of the Maneaters, right down to the second one joining the fight when the first one is at half HP. Blighttown is the Valley of Defilement again, as a poisonous swamp where you travel across wooden supports. Maneater Mildred is Executioner Miralda (a masked woman wielding a brutal weapon) wearing even less clothing. Averted with Shiva of the East, who was supposed to be a straight rehash of Master Satsuki, with the Chaos Blade standing in for the Makoto sword (Shiva would have betrayed you if you gave him the Chaos Blade, same as Master Satsuki with the Makoto), but this was cut and the Chaos Blade was just made an alternate boss weapon option to Quelaag's Furysword. The Pisaca are similar to the Mind Flayers (both tentacle-faced monsters), although the enemy archetype would be revisited even more blatantly in Bloodborne and Dark Souls III. Pinwheel is a rehash of the Fool's Idol (both DoppelgÃ¤nger Spin mage bosses), which would be seen again in Dark Souls III in the Crystal Sage. The pairing of the Necromancers and the reanimating Skeletons in the Catacombs was another take on Demon's Souls' Reapers and Shadowlurkers (another element that would be revisited again in later games). The fate of Fallen King Allant was mirrored in the fate of the Witch of Izalith, reduced to a basically helpless Zero-Effort Boss within the heart a gigantic treelike abomination (the Old One and the Bed of Chaos respectively). The Painted World of Ariamis contains a lot of references to the game's bosses. Phalanx reappears as a mass of melting hollows wielding shields and spears, another Berenike Knight appears as a stand-in for the Tower Knight, and the area's invader, Xanthous King Jeremiah, wears a hat similar to the one the Old Monk wears. Artorias' entrance is the same as Penetrator's, and Artorias himself is probably the boss most similar to Penetrator in general. Gwyn, Lord of Cinder has a lot of resemblances to False King Allant as hyper-aggressive swordsmen kings, including the grab attack (although Gwyn can't drain soul levels with his).

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The Stone armor set can be gained relatively early and provides excellent defense, but its sheer weight makes it very difficult to travel around in. One of the biggest examples is the Dragon Greatsword, a huge person-sized sword that appears to be made of flesh. Not only that, but it has a special attack which causes a huge Razor Wind to tear along the ground, wrecking enemies. Unfortunately, the stat requirements for it are insane, and by the time you have the stats to use it, there are other, better weapons available, because it also doesn't scale with stats. The non-cursed version of the Greatsword of Artorias. It can easily land around the 500-600 attack strength at max level, enough power to easily destroy most enemies and wear bosses down. It also boasts the highest Divine modifier, which increases damage against undead, the vast majority of the enemies in the game, and does additional damage vs. Abyss enemies. Unfortunately it requires MASSIVE stat investment in strength, dexterity, intelligence, and faith to even use it at all, and THEN its scaling builds off all four stats, requiring further investment in all four to adequately get the most out of it. It's extremely powerful, but truly time consuming to use to its full potential. Crystal weapons do more damage than their regular counterparts, but have the severe drawback of being impossible to repair. The only way to restore durability is to upgrade them, and that has a ceiling.

Considering he handily beats most players with that handicap, he would be unthinkably powerful if he had both hands intact, untainted by the Dark, with both his Greatsword and Greatshield at his arsenal. All the Lord Soul bosses are ancient beings who have deteriorated in some way: Seath's gone blind and mad, Nito's been having his power siphoned by Pinwheel, the Witch of Izalith (as the Bed of Chaos) is immobile and barely sentient, the Four Kings have been partially consumed by the Abyss, and Gwyn himself has gone Hollow and no longer possesses his Lord Soul.

Logan will develop and sell powerful crystal versions of sorceries, and after the player has bought them all and killed Seath the Scaleless he gets completely lost in the knowledge and doesn't even recognize the player. After this, he'll disappear from his usual spot and show up nearly naked and completely insane in the room Seath is first fought in. Upon killing him, it's revealed he went so far as to try (and partially fail) to replicate Seath's curse-inducing crystal breath.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_2fc4ac67	comment	Black Knight: A few enemies outright called Black Knights are scattered throughout the game, even in the early areas. These guys are tough, often very swift and strong; they don't respawn, so the game uses them as minibosses. They're usually off the main path, so encountering them is optional, but there's a chance of them dropping something powerful and awesome if you do manage to destroy them. A summonable phantom Black Iron Tarkus and a black phantom Kirk, Knight of Thorns also count. Tarkus is so powerful that he can practically solo the boss you can summon him against, while Kirk is the only black phantom who attacks you more than once in the game. As far as mooks go, the Darkwraith Knights in New Londo Ruins are a Magic Knight version of this.

Particularly notable are the skeletons in the graveyard outside Firelink Shrine; aside from being extremely lethal to low-level, inexperienced players, they also drop substantially fewer souls than the much easier enemies in Undead Burg in the opposite direction, making it clear which direction is preferable at the start. Similar enemies include the Black Knights strewn about certain area and Havel blocking the shortcut between the Undead Burg and Darkroot Basin. The general layout of areas also serves as a soft railroad.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: The normal upgrade path for weapons only scales with strength and dexterity, does not do magic or elemental damage, and usually has a lower attack rating than other paths. However, because of the way damage is calculated, these weapons will often deal the most damage to enemies. They can also be imbued with resins for fire, lightning, or poison damage, albeit not as potent as weapons that inherently possess them. Since the ultimate arbiter of a piece of equipment's usefulness is its numbers, "normal" gear is almost universally better in the long run than special gear (including boss and dragon weapons) simply because normal weapons upgrade to +15 and normal armour to +10, while all special gear either caps at +5 or (in the case of some armour sets) cannot be upgraded at all. The fact that the majority of special weapons simply cannot be buffed with resins or spells at all makes them even worse. While special gear will usually be stronger if you're not bothering to upgrade or buff your equipment, once you do, you'll always get better damage/protection for weight out of ordinary stuff like the Zweihander or the Ragged Set than you will out of fancy gear like the Dragonslayer Spear or the Lord's Blade Set. Most straight swords. While they lack the heft of heavier weapons, the flashy bits or whips and all that, their decent damage, availableness, light weight and most of them using a combination of swings and thrusts in their movesets make them the Ol'Reliable of the game. The combination of a spear and a good, stout, medium shield. Nothing fancy or particularly destructive, but the long reach and ability to poke out from behind a guard is about as safe as you can get in this game. The Warrior starting class. Nothing flashy and hardly optimal if you ever want to use magic, but your Starter Equipment can carry you through ninety percent of the game, if you so choose: your Longsword is a deceptively effective weapon with low weight and stat requirements, a flexible moveset and good scaling, and your Heater shield may look like it's been through a war or two, but it has the weight and parry speed of a small shield and the defense and stability of a medium one. You also have just enough Strength and Dexterity to use many of the better weapons right away.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_445bc425	comment	Grey-and-Grey Morality: While it may seem that the sides are cut-and-dry, discovering Darkstalker Kaathe in the Abyss shows that Gwyn is not quite as pure as he seems and that Frampt hasn't exactly been truthful with the player, making their actions just as questionable as Kaathe's desire to bring about the Age of Dark. The true "moral" decision seems to be between embracing or fighting the darkness rather than behaving a certain way. Things get even murkier in the Dark Lord ending: both Kaathe and Frampt are heard congratulating you and pledging their loyalty, raising the question of whether anything either of them told you had any truth to it. Later installments in the franchise help to clarify the matter some, as much as anything in the series is properly explained. Artorias of the Abyss offers a second example of Kaathe encouraging people to utilize the Dark power of humanity with it resulting in them being corrupted into monsters, meaning that using Dark abilities is at best likely to backfire and at worst guaranteed to do so. Dark Souls 3 indicates that the fading of the First Flame affects all fire, up to and including the sun itself. However, the Firekeeper suggests that letting the Fire die would result not in the world ending, but beginning anew.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_4c709317	type	Useless Useful Spell
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_4c709317	comment	Useless Useful Spell: A lot of the Sorceries, Miracles and Pyromancies are interesting, but ultimately worthless due to a variety of flaws. Undead Rapport is a Pyromancy that turns undead enemies to your side for a while. Unfortunately it has to be cast from such close range that you could spit in their face and it has a slow cast time, so it's almost impossible to actually use without being hit. Acid Surge projects a cloud of acid fog that degrades the equipment of anyone caught within it. Unfortunately, this is completely worthless in PvE, and even in PvP the effect is so miniscule (it only does 8 points of equipment damage, when most equipment has between 200 and 400 durability on average) that it'll basically never do anything. It actually works effectively against opponents using crystal katanas (katanas have low durability to start with, and converting them to crystal reduces this further to 10% of normal in exchange for monumental damage), but there's no way of knowing whether that opponent's katana is crystal or not just by looking at it. The Poison Cloud Pyromancy is more useful than Acid Surge, but even in PvP poison just isn't that effective, not to mention the fact that even trying to cast it can make you very vulnerable if your opponent just charges through the cloud and hacks you down. Toxic Cloud is marginally more effective, but still not very popular, especially as it's not hard to avoid yet only comes with a single cast. The Iron Flesh Pyromancy used to be broken until the developers nerfed it savagely hard. Now while it's active you move as if you're encumbered (over 100% encumberance level), meaning you plod around like a statue and cannot backstep or roll at all. While it still gives your body automatic deflection, it doesn't boost your actual defense enough to make up for how easily opponents (in PvE or PvP) will run rings around you. You can't cancel it until it wears off on its own, either. A lot of Sorceries and Miracles replicate the effects of fairly common or easy to find items (e.g, Remedy heals Poison, Toxic and Bleed buildup, Homeward warps you back to your last bonfire just like a Homeward Bone, Hush silences your footsteps like the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring). Since one of the biggest restrictions on magic use is the number of slots you have available to equip spells in, these are generally extremely difficult to justify using. The Resist Curse sorcery. Contrary to its name, it doesn't grant you Curse resistance (which might be slightly useful), nor does it actually cure Curse once it's been inflicted on you (which kills you instantly then locks you in Hollow form with 50% of your health reduced until you cure it), but instead it removes the buildup of Curse you've accumulated before it becomes fatal. Since status condition buildup fades over time as long as you're not receiving more of it, the only way this would be any use is if you stop to cast it while you're actually in a fight against a Curse-causing opponent. (like Seath the Scaleless or a pack of Basilisks). And just to add insult to injury, it only comes with four charges.

The player gets the Lightning Spear miracle from this. Along with being a spell that can be obtained rather early, it decimates bosses up to the mid-game and can One-Hit Kill most standard enemies. Investing some more points into Faith and helping other players in co-op also ranks you up in the covenant, earning you an improved version of the miracle. Unfortunately, both have a low amount of charges, making them Too Awesome to Use if you're not certain about finding nearby bonfire locations.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: As Miyazaki originally intended Dark Souls to be a single standalone game, many elements present in the original become this over the course of additional installments. There are the lightning-breathing wyverns in Valley of Drakes, when it becomes established through further installments that lightning is the Achilles' Heel of dragons and their descendants. Curse is far more dangerous in this game than its sequels. Instead of just being a One-Hit Kill, it's a One-Hit Kill, halves your HP upon reviving, and can only be cured via a relatively expensive consumable. Warping between bonfires was something you had to earn at the halfway point of the game instead of being available from the outset, and even then you could only warp to certain bonfires. Warping is also a simple list menu, instead of having pictures to aid with identifying which bonfire is which. This is especially noticeable for bonfires named after their larger location. For example, the bonfire named Anor Londo, where the location of the same name actually has four bonfires total, two of which are warpable to under different names. The act of resting at bonfires does not instantly reset the world; you have to wait at the fire while the fog animation plays out, and only then is the world reset. This is usually a technicality, but it can be the difference between life and death when you are being pursued by an enemy you want to evade by reseting the world, in which case you may rest by the fire and be sitting on the ground as the enemy runs through the fog and strikes you. The equipment system is just weird compared to later games. There are no less than 4 different blacksmiths, and weapons can only be infused with a different element by a specific one (if you can find the right Ember to give them). Ascending a basic weapon down an alternate path requires you to level it to +5 and then transform it at the appropriate blacksmith, which resets it to 0, requiring you to upgrade it back to +5 with unique Green Titanite Shards before using specific-coloured Chunks to push it to +9 and a coloured Slab to finish it at +10. If you don't then basic weapons can be upgraded as high as +15 if you can find the Large Ember and Very Large Ember you need to give to Andre, with the normal path effectively being treated as another ascension path in its own right. Meanwhile, all non-basic weapons cap out at +5 and cannot be ascended at all. You can't upgrade sorcery catalysts or miracle talismans at all, although Pyromancy Flames can be upgraded at a pyromancy trainer for large amounts of souls with no material requirement. Making a boss soul weapon requires you to find a basic weapon of the same class as the boss weapon, upgrade it to +10 (unless it's a catalyst), and then combine it with the soul at one of the blacksmiths to create the boss weapon. Basic armour sets can be upgraded to +10 and some special armour sets can only be upgraded to +5 with Twinkling Titanite, but a few (including most of the superheavy sets) can't be upgraded at all. Starting from Dark Souls II the systems around upgrading equipment would be radically streamlined, and boss souls would simply be traded to a specific NPC for the appropriate weapon or spell. And strangely enough (since this is the second overall Soulsborne title), there's no dedicated stat waifu like the Maiden in Black to trade your Souls in for levels at the hub; instead, you can level up at any Bonfire in the world, which is certainly much more expedient, and the main Fire Keeper beneath Firelink Shrine serves only to reinforce your Estus Flask. Granted, this is a case of things changing partway through development: Crossbreed Priscilla was supposed to fulfill this role until she was relegated to the Painted World of Ariamis.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_504e271f	type	But Thou Must!
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_504e271f	comment	But Thou Must!: The game railroads players towards meeting Oscar and seeing him die during the Undead Asylum tutorial. Normally, the Asylum Demon that guards the exit of the prison drops the Big Pilgrim's Key when killed, unlocking the exit. If you kill the Asylum Demon when you first meet it, either with Black Firebombs or Cherry Tapping, then it will only drop the Demon's Great Hammer, and the Big Pilgrim's Key gets transferred to Oscar instead. This is understandable since skipping Oscar would leave players without the essential Estus Flask. One of the earliest examples is the fight against Quelaag. No words are shared between you and her, you just enter her arena and she proceeds to attack and try to kill you. However, if you then talk to her sister with the Old Witch's Ring equipped, you find that she thinks you are her sister. Also, the reason Quelaag attacked was to try and steal humanity from you in order to provide comfort to her agonizing sister. Knowing this can make subsequent playthroughs a bit heartbreaking, knowing she's just trying to save her sister from her pain and yet you have to kill her anyway, all the while her sister has no clue that Quelaag has died. Granted, you can mostly atone for this by joining the Chaos Servant covenant and giving her as much humanity as you possibly can. If you manage to complete the DLC before visiting Artorias' grave in Darkroot Garden, then entering the boss arena will have Great Gray Wolf Sif actually recognize you as the brave hero who saved his life in the past, and he howls mournfully before taking up his master's sword as he is bound to protect it from anyone... including you. A rare case of this trope applying not only to the player, but to the boss as well. Early into the Duke's Archives, you find the boss room of Seath the Scaleless, only to discover that you cannot damage him at all, due to his immortality and immunity to attacks as a result of the Primordial Crystal, which is elsewhere. This is required, however, as you have to die here to be placed in the cells elsewhere in the Archives, letting you escape and reach the bottom of the Crystal Cave where he has moved to. This forces you to lose your souls, and since the original boss room is a long way away from the prison, it's best to come in with a Ring of Sacrifice (or a Rare Ring of Sacrifice, since Seath can also curse you) to preserve them, or just enter without many souls.

The guy's armor itself is carved straight from a rock, and requires ridiculous strength and endurance just to walk around in it. In order to achieve that, he has a ring that boosts his equipment load, also letting him carry his massive club, which is literally a Dragon's tooth. In his hidden room in Anor Londo, you can find a spare set of his rock armor, another Dragon Tooth, a miracle that pretty much negates all magic damage (crafted to fight against Seath the Scaleless), and a club with an Occult damage modifier, the damage type that is lethal to divine beings such as Lord Gwyn, his Knights, and the other Gods. The only other weapons with that modifier are found on people who are opposed to, shunned from, or feared by the Gods.

In some cases, this is presumably to stop them from harming people should they turn Hollow â€” however, Petrus (when initially spoken to) doesn't seem too keen on the player for being Undead and requests that the player keep their distance, and some of the game's cut content outright states that the Way of White admonishes the Undead. This doesn't come up much in the rest of the game, as the majority of the cast is Undead. Humans in general get a lot of grief from the native inhabitants of Lordran. This is particularly pronounced in the Artorias of the Abyss content. Given what Humanity is connected to the Abyss, this may be justified.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_5a08d0ae	type	Back Stab
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_5a08d0ae	comment	Sorceries are focused around powerful single-target damage and scale off of Intelligence. Their signature spells, the Soul Arrow series, are fairly powerful medium-range projectiles that collide with enemies to deal heavy damage. They also allow you to coat your weapon or shield in magic, increasing their magic attack and defense respectively. Another interesting element of sorceries are their emphasis on stealth, with many spells like Aural Decoy and Hush allowing players to make up for their lack of defense by getting the jump on enemies. This makes sorceries rather useful for stealthy players or invaders. Sorcery uses Catalysts to cast their spells, and primarily deal Magic damage. Oolacile Sorceries are distinguished by their white, yellow and grey colour scheme, and are exclusively sold by Dusk of Oolacile. These sorceries focus entirely on deception and misdirection, and feature notable standouts like Chameleon, which lets the player transform into a background item to hide from other players, and Hidden Weapon, which disguises their currently equipped weapon. Abyssal Sorceries are found exclusively in the DLC, and are an advanced form of Humanity manipulation. They are only found in the destroyed remains of the Oolacile township, and are implied to have been corrupted by the rampant mutation of humanity that occurs there. Crystal Sorceries are advanced spells invented by Big Hat Logan after he moves to the Duke's Archives. They are the final tier of sorcery available, and are extremely powerful as a result. They take the form of normal sorceries, but with crystalline effects. They are exceptionally dangerous to use, and their complicated structure requires heavy investment in Intelligence to be able to cast, but they pay out by dealing exceptionally high amounts of magic damage on every hit.

On one hand, Gwyndolin has been conspiring with Frampt in order to trick the Undead into extending the Age of Fire for a thousand years after Gwyn used himself as fuel, while it's hinted that Kaathe has been trying to do the same to usher the Age of Dark. Even beyond that, it's implied that the Furtive Pygmy knew from the start that shattering his unique Lord Soul and creating Humanity would ensure that the spread of the Dark would eventually win over Gwyn's wavering Age of Fire one day. And that isn't even getting into other theories, like the one where the crow in the beginning is sent by Velka, or is Velka herself, and she is essentially orchestrating both sides to her own ends by delivering the Chosen Undead.

Instead of invading, the Gravelord Servant Covenant uses Eyes of Death to curse other worlds, making enemies stronger and in NG+ turning the game into a nightmare. The only way to break the curse is to find the curse sign (which moves with the Gravelord Servant) and invade their world, meaning you can't use healing items, allowing them to dictate where the fight happens. The only way these advantages are offset is that three people can invade the Gravelord Servant by touching the sign.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_6c3d1777	type	Magic A Is Magic A
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_6c3d1777	comment	Magic A Is Magic A: Sorceries, miracles, and pyromancies are all forms of magic, but each one has a different design focus. Notably, each type of magic also has multiple schools of magic, which further subdivide each type of magic into a number of different focuses. Sorceries are focused around powerful single-target damage and scale off of Intelligence. Their signature spells, the Soul Arrow series, are fairly powerful medium-range projectiles that collide with enemies to deal heavy damage. They also allow you to coat your weapon or shield in magic, increasing their magic attack and defense respectively. Another interesting element of sorceries are their emphasis on stealth, with many spells like Aural Decoy and Hush allowing players to make up for their lack of defense by getting the jump on enemies. This makes sorceries rather useful for stealthy players or invaders. Sorcery uses Catalysts to cast their spells, and primarily deal Magic damage. Oolacile Sorceries are distinguished by their white, yellow and grey colour scheme, and are exclusively sold by Dusk of Oolacile. These sorceries focus entirely on deception and misdirection, and feature notable standouts like Chameleon, which lets the player transform into a background item to hide from other players, and Hidden Weapon, which disguises their currently equipped weapon. Abyssal Sorceries are found exclusively in the DLC, and are an advanced form of Humanity manipulation. They are only found in the destroyed remains of the Oolacile township, and are implied to have been corrupted by the rampant mutation of humanity that occurs there. Crystal Sorceries are advanced spells invented by Big Hat Logan after he moves to the Duke's Archives. They are the final tier of sorcery available, and are extremely powerful as a result. They take the form of normal sorceries, but with crystalline effects. They are exceptionally dangerous to use, and their complicated structure requires heavy investment in Intelligence to be able to cast, but they pay out by dealing exceptionally high amounts of magic damage on every hit. Miracles are supportive spells meant to accent a "cleric" style of play, and scale off of Faith. Their repertoire includes several varieties of Heal, which can be a huge help for slower, tankier characters who shrug off damage instead of moving out of the way. They apply Holy damage to their weapons and Holy defense to their shields, and have powerful defensive spells like Wrath of the Gods and Karmic Justice to keep things even. They also notably function as Anti-Magic characters, since the miracle Vow of Silence can prevent casters (including themselves) from using spells in an area around themselves for a short time. Miracles use Talismans to cast their magic, as well as primarly dealing Holy-accented Magic damage with occasional dips into Lightning. Sunlight Miracles are the higher tier of Faith magic, and mostly act as straight upgrades to the normal Miracles. In particular, Sunlight Miracles are fleshed out as full-on support magic, with Soothing Sunlight and Bountiful Sunlight acting as area of effect heals. This makes Sunlight Miracles very useful for cooperative play. In addition, the powerful Sunlight Spear and Sunlight Weapon miracles deal very strong lightning damage, making them useful for combat outside of cooperation. Gravelord Miracles are fairly underdeveloped, with only two miracles to their repitoire- Gravelord Sword Dance and Gravelord Greatsword Dance. Ultimately, both are the same spell, and are used by Gravelords to defend themselves when players invade them to stop their curses. Gravelords also come equipped with the very powerful Gravelord Sword weapon, which can make up for their lack of variety in useable spells, and their Faith requirement of zero makes them powerful to use for any player. Pyromancies are spells that split between long range area of effect damage and powerful augmenting buffs. In particular, their default Fireball spell and its higher tier bretheren can be very effective for taking out enemies at a distance and laying on damage to bosses at long range, which can be useful for players who are just starting out. Pyromancies require neither Intelligence or Faith to use, instead scaling entirely off of the Pyromancy Glove currently equipped and requiring very little investment to properly use. This means that any character with low enough Intelligence to be unable to use any Sorceries and low enough Faith to struggle with properly using Miracles can equip a Pyromancy glove and gain access to useful magic. Pyromancies are cast using Pyromancy Gloves, and primarily deal Fire damage. Chaos Pyromancies are the second tier above Pyromancy and are associated with the Witch of Izalith and her children. The primordial Chaos Flame that the Witch created gave birth to a menagerie of terrifiying demons, but also gave birth to some of the strongest Pyromancies available to the player. In particular, Great Chaos Orb, Chaos Firestorm and Chaos Fire Whip will tear through anything that they touch, often leaving behind puddles of extremely damaging lava to help defend the caster. These Pyromancies are only sold by experienced Pyromancers such as Quelana, who don't exactly go showing themselves off to any newbies... Abyssal Pyromancies originate from the same place as Abyssal Sorceries, but the only spell in that category is Black Flame, the strongest version of Combustion.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_6f33059b	comment	Iconic Outfit: The Elite Knight Set. It was featured heavily in advertisements, trailers, and official art for the game. In fan cotent it's effectively the official character design for the protagonist, perhaps because of the The Everyman look to the armor. It probably also helped that in-game, with the exception of few specialized armor sets for specific situations, it was a best overall armor set in the early versions, and after several nerfs it is still a viable end-game set. It gets a reference in Dark Souls II, where the Looking Glass Knight can potentially summon a NPC that wears an eerily similar armor set. Artorias' armor set is used to represent the Artorias of the Abyss content.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_7d561d58	comment	Too Awesome to Use: The Ring of Sacrifice and Rare Ring of Sacrifice will prevent you from losing your souls and humanity if equipped at the time of death. The latter also undoes curses if that is what killed you. The catch is that they break once you're revived and only a finite amount can be gained in each playthrough. Since the most likely places you can die also mean dying would be frequent, the rings have little purpose (except the first time you fight Seath, where dying is the only way to progress). The Ring of Favor and Protection increases your health, stamina and carrying capacity, but there are only two (with one being very well hidden) in each game run and it cannot be removed once equipped or it's lost. Crystal Weapons are exceptionally powerful and durable. However, you they can't be repaired by any means (other than upgrading them, which has a limit) and are useless once they break, making them only worth using if you have no other option. The Divine Blessing, a potion that fully restores your HP and cures all status effects (except for curse, unfortunately). It's also quite hard to get and only available in a very limited number per playthrough, so you better not waste it. Black Firebombs can be thrown for high fire damage with a splash effect, and are handy for cheesing a lot of deadly early enemies or bosses, but you can only find five early in the game plus ten if you choose them as a starting gift. By the time they can be bought from the Crestfallen Merchant, standard attacks have caught up to them in damage, and since they don't scale they're mostly useless later on aside from range. Gold Pine Resin is the strongest of the three resin buff items, since lightning damage is the weakness of many bosses, and unlike lightning-ascended weapons the buff doesn't override stat scaling. Unlike the infinite Rotten and Charcoal resin, you can only get six Gold Pine Resins in the early game (three from a chest in Undead Burg and three from Domhnall), so they're in short supply until you can get deep into Darkroot Garden or the Great Hollow to farm them off of Mushroom People. The DLC adds Elizabeth's Mushrooms to this list. They give you incredibly powerful Regenerating Health for 30 seconds, but there are only four of them in the entire game, and three are a reward for beating the DLC. The game discourages this habit with regard to normal healing items. You only have one, your Estus Flask, and it always tops off whenever you reach a bonfire. Therefore, if your life is in danger, chug away!

In this form, he obtains Smough's butt-stomp move (now creating an electric shockwave), can impale you with his spear, and generally hits stronger and with more range.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Most of your actions bring doom to the other characters. Telling Laurentius about Quelana or Chaos Pyromancy causes him to go looking for them. He hollows in Blighttown. Buying all of Rhea's spells will leave her completely defenseless. She is kidnapped and sent to the Crystal Prison, where she hollows. Repeatedly helping Siegmeyer destroys his self-confidence, which leads to him going hollow out of despair. This one is ambiguous, as the other possibility is that he hollows because he finds out the mother of his daughter is dead. Releasing Lautrec from his cell results in Anastacia's death. To be fair, he kills her regardless of whether you help free him, but at least in this case you know you're responsible. Sometimes even talking to characters can get them killed. Exhaust of all the Crestfallen Warrior's dialogue? He'll go to New Londo Ruins and turn hollow. Really, the only way to ensure they live is to not talk to them at all.

They gradually get stronger as they obtain better spells and more attunement slots to place them in, plus better catalysts/talismans and upgrades to the Pyromancy Flame. In successive runs of the game, they can get more and more casts by buying spells again, since they refresh with each cycle. With the right spells and equipment, you can take down full New Game Plus Level 7 bosses in just a few hits.

Unfortunately for her, she wound up creating the Chaos Flame, a corrupting fire that turned everyone in Izalith into Chaos Demons, the Witch becoming the Bed of Chaos and Izalith itself becoming a magma-filled ruin. After the Bed of Chaos is slain by the Chosen Undead, the Chaos Demons were left to fend for themselves as the First Flame was continuously rekindled by the Lords of Cinders. By Dark Souls III, they slowly began to die out, turning to stone without the twisted bed of life that created them.

With the proper build, the Black Knight Greatsword is quite able to carry any player through the entire game.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_905af87e	type	Fantasy Character Classes
Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_905af87e	comment	Fantasy Character Classes: At character creation, you can select a class to determine your starting stats and gear. This does not limit your later development in any way and you can potentially take up any role regardless of your starting class choice, but keep in mind that some classes are optimal towards a certain style of play: Warrior: The Warrior is a Lightning Bruiser â€” starts with excellent armour and a metal shield, and with a good longsword and high enough stats to use many of the other better weapons immediately, and they have decent mobility to boot. Magic stats are relatively low to start, but with some patient investment basic spells and miracles can become an option later. A superb choice for a new player or otherwise an optimal choice for a player who wants to focus on physical combat. Knight: This is the Mighty Glacier class, the most durable of all starting classes with the most robust armour and highest starting Poise and Vitality, and will soon be casting miracles due to their rather high Faith. However the heavy plate armour also makes the Knight slow and limits how they can evade attacks. The Knight is a very forgiving class for mistakes and thus perhaps the best choice for a new player to learn the game. Wanderer: The Wanderer's scimitar has excellent reach and speed and their light armour allows quick rolling and evasion, and they can pick up sorceries quite quickly as well to become a Magic Knight. However they cannot take as much punishment as the other "physical" classes. A relatively forgiving class to start with, but still, watch yourself. Thief: A relatively challenging start as the Thief is a bona-fide Fragile Speedster, the Wanderer taken up to eleven â€” generally poor physical stats (except Dexterity which is very high) and limited to lighter weapons and armour due to low Strength, forcing them to rely on parrying and backstabs with their dagger to deal effective damage. The Thief starts with the Master Key gift as standard, so take another gift; two Master Keys is a waste. Bandit: The Bandit hits really hard and is proficient with many heavier weapons like axes and swords, but their starting axe is already powerful enough to carry you through half the game. That said the armour and shield are nothing to write home about. The high Strength of the Bandit is also converse to a low Dexterity, and magic potential is also very poor. A decent choice for an intermediate player and an optimal physical combatant. Hunter: The Hunter has fairly average stats all-round and high Dexterity, proficient at melee or range with bows and lighter weapons. Use the bow to "kite" and soften up enemies before you close, ducking in and out and striking true with the shortsword. A versatile class that relies on tactical thinking and weakness exploitation to make up for a lack of raw power, this one is for intermediate players. Sorcerer: Magic is the Sorcerer's bread and butter; they start with the Soul Arrow sorcery and can pick up sorceries very quickly. They have fantastic damage potential and can command a lot of useful magical effects eventually, but their limited physical stats and lack of armour will make them poor fighters and thus very easy to die in direct combat, so perhaps this is a choice best left to experienced players. Pyromancer: The Pyromancer starts with a decent axe and the Fireball pyromancy, giving them a reliable way to deal with tough bosses and groups early on. Though poorly armoured, they are quite resistant to fire and poison. As pyromancy scales with upgrades to your Pyromancy Flame and not your stats, you can allocate points into physical areas and be a decent fighter as well. Overall a beginner-friendly start offering a lot of offensive power. Cleric: Clerics can use miracles, a slew of defensive and support magic which makes a difference in keeping a run between bonfires going, and they can hit fairly hard with their maces and hammers as well, but they start with only robes and a wooden shield. A good choice for an intermediate player. Deprived: A club and an old, battered plank shield. And that's it. The Deprived starts out naked and lacking magic of any sort, and all gear will have to be obtained or purchased. Though the balanced stats look inviting, the lack of any initial specialisation might hamper later-game builds. It also starts at the highest level of all the classes, which means that level ups will be more expensive. Only the professional or truly crazed need apply.

You may kill a person or two that you find expendable, abandon a covenant to join a better one, invade and kill another player for humanity or kill Gwynevere and think nothing of it after that. However, the Darkmoons are here to remind you that no bad deed goes unpunished. At anypoint as a Human if you've sinned you are branded for a Darkmoon invasion by another player, and unlike a regular invasion, it will continue to happen even after you've killed the area boss. However it's avoidable if you absolve yourself by talking to Oswald at the top of the Undead Church and paying an amount of souls depending on your soul level and the amount of sins you committed before getting absolved. The exception to this is if you kill Gwynevere. Then you are permanently branded as a sinner until New Game+.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_940a5958	comment	Artificial Stupidity: Enemies have trouble noticing dangerous falls, especially in areas with precarious footing like Blighttown. You'll be traveling along when you'll randomly gain souls from some enemy that accidentally fell off a ledge to its death. In some areas, it's easy to cheese an enemy into a spot where it will walk endlessly, allowing you to whale on them with impunity. Sif is a Lightning Bruiser, and constantly repositions himself around the map by jumping. Occasionally, he'll jump on top of you, one of the few safe places in a fight against him, and allow you to attack his legs before hopping away. Rats in particular seem to have bugged attack priorities, where they'll often simply run away from the player, even when they outnumber you greatly, and are almost always placed in corners they'll run against fruitlessly. It takes a few seconds for them to turn around, in which time you will have ample opportunity to kill them. This is particularly noticeable in the Painted World, where you can easily walk through swarms of rats with no problem. One of the best ways to grind souls in the early game involves taking advantage of this with the NPCs just past the gate in Darkroot Garden. They are far too tough to take on at early levels, but if you stand in just the right spot on a certain ledge, they will try to jump down to you, bounce off your head, and fall straight off the cliff, granting you 1000-2000 souls a pop. The bat-winged demons of Anor Londo. Despite having a fierce thrusting attack, their evasive maneuver will often send them plunging backward to their deaths. (Extra points for forgetting they can fly.)

Attempting to leave without walking out (such as by use of a Homeward Bone or the Homeward miracle) deposits the player right back into the arena, ensuring that the game always ends shortly after Gwyn's death. This also prevents players who died either right after they beat the boss, or somehow manage to kill him but die in a way that the fight is treated as having been won, from being unable to complete the game.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f	comment	Luck-Based Mission: The Capra Demon fight is often decided in the first few seconds. The moment you step through the fog door both the boss and the two attack dogs that accompany it will immediately attack you (the Demon will typically leap at you, which does a ridiculous amount of damage at the level the player is likely at), commonly resulting in instant death. Coupled with the very narrow space you fight the Capra Demon in you have very little room to maneuver out of the way. Should you get past the initial assault, however, your odds of survival increase substantially. If you don't kill Ceaseless Discharge with the scripted event of falling into the lava it can become this; sometimes it spams relatively easily avoidable attacks with massive openings to do damage, and other times it uses extremely dangerous screen-nuking attacks with a short recovery over and over. Likewise for the Hellkite Dragon. If you choose to fight it directly in battle and not shooting it with a bow, your victory depends almost entirely on the how much the dragon wants to nuke the bridge with fire and in many cases cause instant death. The Demon Firesage is either manageable or next-to-impossible, depending on whether he mostly uses his easy-to-avoid belly-flop, or his insanely cheap shockwave attack.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_9e236a98	comment	Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: When Oscar dies, you actually get a piddling amount of souls, mirroring how you lose your souls if you die. Oddly, these still automatically fly into you even though Oscar stabs himself, though this is consistent with how you get enemy souls even if they fall to their deaths. If you meet Quelana of Izalith in the swamps of Blighttown and either use her ability to ascend your Pyromancy Flame beyond +15 or buy any of her unique Pyromancies, the next time you speak to Laurentius, he asks in wonder where you found such power. If you tell him, he departs from Firelink Shrine in search of Quelana himself but fails to find her, and if you return to Blighttown yourself, you'll find him gone hollow and have to put him down. This is justified as, despite being the starting Pyromancy trainer and capable of upgrading your Pyromancy Flame as far as the normal maximum of +15, Laurentius himself only has a +8 Flame, and Quelana is apparently invisible to anyone who doesn't have at least a +10 Flame. The same will occur if you show him any Chaos Pyromancies; in this case, he most likely fails to find the very well-hidden Chaos Servant covenant.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_9e8aa11e	comment	Friendly Fireproof: Generally played straight in most situations; most enemies will have their attacks go right through other enemies that they may hit, particularly noticeable in fights like Ornstein and Smough or the Bell Gargoyles. Notably averted, however, during the fight against Gravelord Nito, whose sweeping sword attacks and toxic area blasts will usually wipe out the horde of skeletons that fight alongside him- and if you don't have a Holy weapon then exploiting this is essential to beating him, because they constantly revive faster than you can kill them yourself and would overwhelm you without Nito constantly striking them down.

In the course of the game, ringing the Twin Bells of Awakening will make Kingseeker Frampt appear, telling you that he is looking for the successor of Gwyn, and tells you to continue the Lord's plan to preserve the Age of Fire. However, if you pledge allegiance to the Darkwraith Covenant, the Primordial Serpent Kaathe reveals that your ancestor was in fact the Furtive Pygmy and that you are the rightful successor to the Pygmy. Both arguments end up becoming half-truths: On one hand, you are supposed to succeed Gwyn... as the Lord of Cinder, burning in the Kiln until the Third Age of Fire comes to an end. On the other, you are the Pygmy's descendant... as is the rest of humankind, you're just the one who got this far. Even then, given what happened in Oolacile with Manus, there's no telling what will happen to the world should the Age of Dark occur.

A common joke in Sen's Fortress is to place a message or summon sign on a pressure plate There are several messages put down by the game's designers (visible by using Seek Guidance) telling you exactly where to go and giving hints about characters and treasure. One message in particular that is available to all without Seek Guidance tells players of the invisible bridge in one level that is not hinted at otherwise. Keys, once you find them, often have a description that gives you a hint on where they are meant to be used and what may lie beyond. One for the Undead Burg, for example, warns you of the dogs of the Capra Demon. A common gimmick is to place the message "Amazing Chest" before any encounters with a female NPC (Or Smough, for the Squick factor) "Need Head" Is a common hint as well.

A character with high poise will be harder to interrupt or stagger while taking damage, and it usually correlates with heavier armor. Thus, a well armored character, in addition to being able to absorb more damage, can simply bull through and continue to strike home where other characters would be driven back under a rain of blows. This is why enemies like Havel the Rock, the Titanite Demons and the myriad of bosses are so dangerous: not only do they hit like a train, they're also nigh on impossible to either stagger or interrupt their attacks, making timing your attacks essential.

Oddly enough, it becomes safer after doing this since most non-Darkmoon enemies vanish. The Darkroot Garden and Darkroot Basin are both perpetually covered in darkness, which feels weird when you transition to another area where it's perpetually late afternoon.

It turns your body to stone, killing you instantly, and whereever you revive, you're stuck at half health until you get cured. Also, becoming hollow (slowly turning you into a mindless husk) and linking the fire (forcing you to burn for aeons to preserve the Age of Fire). Firekeepers. They're forced to spend the rest of their life guarding a single, lonely bonfire and ensuring that it remains lit despite the fact that fire as a whole is slowly dying, and are explicitly forbidden from ever leaving their bonfire, and it's heavily implied that even conversing with others is frowned upon. If they ever protest their job, they get their tongue cut out so they can't complain anymore. If they so much as step one foot outside their bonfire's area, they get their legs chopped off. Oh, and many, many people want to kill them, as their souls are the only things capable of powering up the precious Estus Flasks. Their souls are also gnawed by infinite amounts of humanity that have been donated to their bonfires. The Firekeeper of Anor Londo is noted to wear her brass armour to disguise the swarms of humanity underneath.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_b47d95be	comment	No OSHA Compliance: Blighttown is particularly guilty, being nothing more than a series of crude wooden platforms balanced precariously several hundred feet above the ground. Humorously, the logical results of this actually manifest in gameplay, as enemies occasionally fall off them with no input from the player. Sen's Fortress is notorious for this, though it was also made specifically for this purpose. Even without the plentiful death traps, the entire building only has railings in places where normal people would never be expected to go, and the majority of its walkways are suspended above a hundred foot drop, while axes swing across the narrow path and snake men take pot shots at passersby. The fact that Indiana Jones style boulders roll down its staircases every few seconds like clockwork, regularly crushing said snake men employees patrolling said "Home Alone" Antics funhouse makes the absurdity even more hilarious.

Some careful drops can let you skip most of the Catacombs or the Tomb of the Giants. Considering the latter has severely limited visibility, you really have to know where you're going. The end of the Painted World can be reached in two or three minutes with a careful drop into the courtyard, a quick sprint to and beatdown of the zombie dragon, and jump-attacking its discarded hindquarters to make them stand up so you can hop down to the boss's fog door. Reaching and maintaining level 2 or higher in the Chaos Servant covenant allows you to skip Demon Firesage, Centipede Demon and the entire lava portion of Lost Izalith, as well as save Solaire.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_b58b4e3c	comment	The Resist Curse sorcery. Contrary to its name, it doesn't grant you Curse resistance (which might be slightly useful), nor does it actually cure Curse once it's been inflicted on you (which kills you instantly then locks you in Hollow form with 50% of your health reduced until you cure it), but instead it removes the buildup of Curse you've accumulated before it becomes fatal. Since status condition buildup fades over time as long as you're not receiving more of it, the only way this would be any use is if you stop to cast it while you're actually in a fight against a Curse-causing opponent. (like Seath the Scaleless or a pack of Basilisks). And just to add insult to injury, it only comes with four charges.

If you do not take advantage of this opportunity quickly, though, the Asylum Demon will destroy the platform, bringing you down with it. Downplayed with Great Grey Wolf Sif. In the "Artorias of the Abyss" DLC, the Player Character travels back in time to when Sif's late master Artorias disappeared in the Abyss. Just before the final boss of the DLC, a secret sidepath leads to a cavern where Artorias hid the wounded Sif, and the player has the option of protecting Sif from dark sprites. If they do, Sif will help them fight the final DLC boss and, more pertinently to this trope, recognize the player character in Sif's own boss cutscene (back in the present) and howl in anguish at having to fight them.

During the final part of the song snippet used in the trailer, the tagline pops up word by word. It then shows the PC getting roasted by a dragon while five other words quickly flash on the screen. Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE. Happens in the story as well. Halfway through the game, you have a small community in Firelink, but each and every one of your companion characters can (and probably will) meet an unsavory end in the second part of the game, whether going hollow or being murdered by your own hands. Every one of the trainers go hollow after you buy all their spells (save Laurentius, who hollows if you indulge in his curiosity about advanced pyromancy). Out of your Firelink gang, you can save only one good character, Anastacia the firekeeper, plus a few others who are never at risk like Domhnall, Ingward, and Patches; all of the the others are either hollowed or revealed as murderers by the end of the game.

The game is set in a dying world that barely clings on to life. The ending asks the player, after they've seen the best and the worst the land has to offer, whether it is worth sacrificing their character to artificially prolong its life for a few centuries or whether the current age should finally come to an end, giving the world a chance at rebirth: in the context of the story, you will either sacrifice yourself to artificially prolong the current Age of Fire for a little while longer or put it out of its misery and embrace the impending Age of Darkness. Essentially, it is a question of the ethics of euthanasia, only applied to an entire world.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: There are numerous nods to Berserk: The plot is set off by a mysterious brand which curses the protagonist to fight demons and other monsters. The Darkwraith Covenant's icon looks like a Behelit. Rickert of Vinheim is probably a reference to the namesake character from Berserk, as is his profession as a blacksmith. The cover of the PC version◊ shows Knight Artorias in Guts' typical pose from the manga◊. The armor they have is also suspiciously similar. Not only that, when you actually fight Artorias, his fighting style is similar to a Full-On Berserker Guts, right up to his left arm being dead weight. The Wheel Skeletons are probably based on these monsters◊. The Taurus Demons look like Zodd. One of the summonable phantoms, Witch Beatrice, looks like an adult version of Schierke (and unused content for the game includes a child model for her that resembles Schierke even more). Dark Sun Gwyndolin has been compared◊ to Griffith, an androgynous white-haired lord with a connection to a dark sun/eclipse. Broken Straight Swords are broken in the same way as the blade Guts used during the Eclipse. There's an armor set out there which can make you look like Elminster. One of the scripted black phantom invaders you'll encounter in the game is called Paladin Leeroy. One of the recurring NPCs that can be summoned is named Witch Beatrice. Bonus points for being a summon for the Moonlight Butterfly. The Silver Knights in Anor Londo use their bows to fire javelins, reminiscent of the swords fired by Archer. Oswald may be a reference to the corrupt Pardoner from The Canterbury Tales, who, like Oswald, pardons people of their sins for a high price. Additionally, he is a masked, stylishly black-clad pardoner, and has a weapon called Velka's Rapier that has a completely unique strong attack in its moveset that involves slashing a "V" into the air. Zorro he isn't, but he's certainly evocative of him. Alvina of the Darkroot Wood is a dead ringer for the Cheshire Cat. A small, frail leader like Gwyndolin hiding behind an illusion of the giantess Princess Gwynevere? Very much a man behind the curtain situation. Upon dying, a person is at risk of completely losing their humanity and turning into a horrific creature called a Hollow. After escaping the Undead Asylum, a large raven takes you under its wing to the Raven's Nest. Ornstein and his Lion motif might be a reference of the famous American composer Leo Ornstein. Translated text from the Design Works artbook reveals a couple of Harry Potter references: the rotating stairs in the Duke's Archive were inspired by the moving staircases in Hogwarts and Sieglinde is apparently is supposed to resemble Hermione underneath that onion-shaped helmet. The NPC Summon Black Iron Tarkus may be a reference to the minor character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Tarkus. Additionally, Smough and Ornstein are probably the expies of black knights Tarkus (the big one) and Bruford (the small and agile one), including the disrespectful treatment of the latter's death by the former, and it has been directly stated that the Armor of Thorns is a reference to the 77 Rings challenge. The story of Artorias of the Abyss involves the player rescuing a princess at the behest of a sentient mushroom. The Silver Knight Armor, with its white half-cape, worn without a helmet combo'd with a suitable BFS, makes a female Chosen Undead look like they walked right out of Claymore. There's even a customization option to give the player character the Claymores' trademark silver hair and eyes. One of the invader NPCs is Jeremiah, a king in exile. His armor is conspicuously yellow, and includes wrappings. Pinwheel's Theme includes a few notes that sound like they belong to another mask-themed villain. The Chaos Eaters in Lost Izalith look suspiciously like the Yithians from H. P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time. They also somewhat resemble Like Likes from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and just like them, they can swallow you and damage your equipment. The name of Anor Londo might be one to The Lord of the Rings, as "anor" is the elven word for "sun" and Anor Londo is the home of Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight and his family. Thus, "Anor Londo" could mean "City of the Sun". The passageway to Anor Londo is opened by ringing two bells. Making them Londo Bells. Not to mention one of the bosses is known as the Moonlight Butterfly. The cragspiders in Blighttown are named after an enemy from the Glorantha setting, while Quelaag is nearly identical to Glorantha's version of the monster. Solaire and his signature "Praise the Sun" pose seem to be a homage to Taro Okamoto's "Tower of the Sun", a designer building located in Osaka. The Balder Knights have dark grey skin and silver armor, calling to mind the Shin Megami Tensei series' depiction of the Norse god Baldr.

Artorias does this to a monster in the DLC story. It seems to be a specialty of the Great Knights of Gwyn. The Pisacas are fond of grabbing you with their tentacle hair and impaling you on a massive spike.

It's heavily hinted that "humanity" as described in the game is the property that makes humans unique, and developer comments confirmed that said "humanity" are all pieces of the Dark Soul.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: If you use Sequence Breaking to get past the Hopeless Boss Fight in the Duke's Archives, then you won't get tossed in the tower prison, preventing you from freeing the last Sorcery vendor and picking up a Firekeeper Soul. However, beating the real boss fight of the area will cause the prison doors to open anyway. In fact, while Logan will normally break himself out if you defeat the boss, he won't do it if you break sequence until you go sneak into your cell and trigger the breaking out cutscene. In the Downloadable Content, you go back in time and potentially meet a younger version of the boss Great Grey Wolf Sif. If you took the time to save him from the Humanity Sprites before fighting the boss in present time, his cinematic intro is replaced by a longer version wherein he recognizes you and reluctantly prepares to fight you anyway. You normally need the Lordvessel to warp between bonfires. However, it is possible to kill the Four Kings before obtaining it if you are very familiar with the game, which leaves you in the Abyss with no way out. Fortunately, the Abyss bonfire is the only one you can warp from with no lordvessel. After defeating Gwyn, the player is presented with a choice: link the fire (by walking up to it and interacting with it) or let it die (by exiting the final boss arena). Attempting to leave without walking out (such as by use of a Homeward Bone or the Homeward miracle) deposits the player right back into the arena, ensuring that the game always ends shortly after Gwyn's death. This also prevents players who died either right after they beat the boss, or somehow manage to kill him but die in a way that the fight is treated as having been won, from being unable to complete the game.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Accidentally made an NPC hostile towards you? Pay Oswald of Carim a visit so he can absolve your sins and make said NPCs peaceful again. (Unless you make Oswald hostile as well, in which case you'll have to wait until your next playthrough.) Certain enemies in the game have especially rare and valuable drops. However, not all of these enemies respawn. As such, any enemy of which there is a finite amount in the game will always have the very last one drop whatever you haven't gotten from the others yet, so you won't need to go through another playthrough. Fell off a ledge into a Bottomless Pit? Thankfully, you'll still have a bloodstain, near the location you fell from. The Ring of Favor and Protection gives quite a few powerful bonuses at the expense of breaking should you ever remove it. Trying to switch it out causes a pop-up window to appear, warning that it will break and thus preventing players from ever accidentally removing it. If you defeat the Four Kings prior to obtaining the Lordvessel, you can still warp out of the Abyss using its bonfire. There are two spots in the world where a player could get stuck (without going out of their way to break things). So in the very rare event that you get stuck and also are out of teleport items? You can still rub your Darksign to kill yourself and get out. Remastered, while largely just a release with better graphics, did add a few of these. Among them, the ability to switch covenants at a bonfire, the ability to hold the cycle inventory button to go back to the first item like in Dark Souls 3, the password system to make summoning your friends easier, and the ability to use multiple copies of souls in your inventory at once along with gifting multiple items to covenants.

Granted, the Undead Burg has been abandoned as a city for a long time but the difference in luxury enjoyed by the gods compared to their subjects was extremely vast. Even among the lower stata of undead society, there is a great deal of disparity. From the Undead Burg, you descend to dilapidated slums housing a criminal underclass, and from there to the Depths where those banished from the Undead Burg dwell. And then it's on to Blighttown where even the cursed occupants of the Depths would fear to tread.

As the name suggests, its immense size enables it to fire lance-sized projectiles made for hunting dragons, which understandably makes it extremely powerful against most things smaller than dragons. It's basically guaranteed to stagger/knockdown anything near human proportions (as long as it can be), yourself included. The Silver Knights are fond of using it, with a particularly infamous chokepoint where two of them will be more than happy to knock you down from the roof of Anor Londo as you're scaling the structure for an alternate entrance. Hawkeye Gough, the predecessor of the Silver Knights, has his own homemade bow that is heavier, bigger, and he uses it to shoot down Black Dragon Kalameet despite being blind himself.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_ef43c232	comment	Artorias of the Abyss has its own sequence of escalating geography: It starts in a forest with a few ruins. Then you find a coliseum and on the other side is a ruined city. Through the city you find a path to an underground mine filled with physical manifestations of darkness.

Although you can carry a maximum of 20 Estus Flasks and attune a lot of healing spells if you build your character right, the long stretches between bonfires filled with hordes of deadly monsters can make you burn through them terrifyingly fast. Add in weapon degradation, limited spell castings and the price of arrows, and resources can go scarce quickly.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_f11c3835	comment	Anti-Grinding: While the campaign itself doesn't punish grinding, raising your level leaves you vulnerable to being invaded by higher-level black phantoms. If you raise your level too high in the earlier areas, you'll likely end up regularly being invaded by hostile players equipped with powerful weapons and armor way above anything you have access to at that point. A similar punishment is that if you raise your level too high compared to the average level range for an area, you'll have a harder time finding players you can summon to help you. If you go too high, it might become near impossible to find other players.

Dark Souls (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f	comment	Wake-Up Call Boss: The Bell Gargoyles that stand between you and the first Bell of Awakening. The Asylum Demon is a Warm-Up Boss (by Dark Souls standards) and the Taurus Demon is the same thing in a more precarious arena, but the Gargoyles are where the game stops going easy on you. They can fly, breathe fire over a wide area, have a number of quite fast attacks that can take an incautious player off guard (unlike the slow and telegraphed swings of the two demon bosses) and, most significantly, you have to juggle fighting two of them at once. As the saying goes, the true Dark Souls begins here. If you manage to overcome the Gargoyles by summoning help (summoning Solaire makes them much easier, summoning Solaire and Lautrec trivialises them) then the next candidate is the Capra Demon (and his two dogs), who requires you to master your dodging reflexes at a time where your equipment is not at an optimized state, requires precise awareness of your cramped surroundings and, unlike the Gargoyles, has no naturally occurring NPC summons available to help you.

It's in part a manticore, albeit without the human face. Although given the horns and wings, perhaps it's a chimera/manticore hybrid.
