Mild Mannered Pate from DS2. Literally a psychopathic version of Patches who: - Gives intentionally false information about traps ahead freely and without being factually incorrect, so you will most likely die to the traps but he still gains your trust when you survive, coming off as well meaning. It is later made clear that he built all these traps specifically for this purpose. - Manipulates and isolates the player from other characters by twisting the truth and playing the victim so he can force you into a position where you have to take his side against them, conveniently this results in you protecting him from his former victims. - Gives you a ring and armour as a gift for helping him, without telling you that a man is trying to kill him. The man only recognizes him from his ring and armor, so the man will come after you instead of him. Even if he doesn't believe you are Pate, the man still thinks you are his friend and goes after you once he's dealt with Pate. - After saving his life he gets you with a trapped chest and attempts to kill you. - Described by Creighton as "A man who kill because he enjoys it" Tldr; Sulyvann was a power hungry tyrant who saw the Profaned Flame and thought he could maintain the age of fire through it. Hes ruthless, but he kills with meaning. Pate kills and manipulates because he enjoys setting traps and watching people die in them, but pretends to be a kindly, well meaning individual so people trust him and protect him from the survivors. Then he kills the people who trust him after they lose usefulness.

Could be that Fina is Gwynevere I suppose. Obviously the Gwynevere we see in Anor Londo is an illusion, so maybe she moved to Carim at some point? Or maybe she's just dead, you never really know with this game lol. It is also possible that Fina is just a god-like entity entirely separate from Gwyn's pantheon, like Velka presumably is. That's one major aspect of this series' lore that the games never really give any clues about. It's almost antithetical to the lore that we do understand in a way, because Gwyn's status as a god stems from his acquisition of one of the lord souls. We only hear of five lord souls in the series, and all five are accounted for. So what are Fina and Velka? Gods, but not lords? Were there more lord souls? They could even be an in-universe fiction, and as far as I can tell that wouldn't change anything about our understanding of what they represent nor the people who believe in them.

@Tomp4ul 2 жыл бұрын

I think Fina and Velka may be 'true' gods, separate from the first flame/lord souls, hence them not being mentioned surrounding the lords, the lordsoul, and such, & their general seeming uninvolvement in much of the series, or when things do get involved that link back to them, they seem to generally be either absolutely huge things, like the crow taking you from the Asylum, or Lautrecs mission, mostly seem aimed at working against Gwyn and his unnaturally supplemented age of fire, the lords, the corralling of the undead through the bonfires, etc. Maybe even if they aren't 'true gods', they seem to be very powerful and influential, but in ways far beyond most (any?) physical beings could be, eg, compare their influence to someone like Gwyn or Allfather Lloyd, and it seems much more far reaching, much more subtle, and much more 'fatey', rather than the battle against fate that Gwyn is wrapped up in, or the related manipulation of people and undead like the Way of White do, with Allfather Lloyd. Largely just supposition on my behalf based on what I've encountered in game and taking as many lore-vids into mind as possible.

I feel he could be assigned to protect the Firekeeper of Firelink, similar to how Eygon protects Irina, who can become a Firekeeper. Irina is blind, Anastasia is mute, perhaps That too is a link for those from Carim. Eygon eventually abandons Irina, possibly a reference to how Lautrec did the same. At least Eygon doesn’t murder his.

So yeah.. he summons Solaire, beats the gargoyles, granting him the coin, then tosses it to you, given its basically useless to him and gets his debt paid.

I, for one, hope your subs keep going and you get over 10k by the end of May :) Big fan of your format and sense of humor with your 167 sub special :3 As far as Lautrec goes, to me he represents the nature of life. We meet people and make assumptions. Some assumptions are good, some are bad. In the end, the truth is revealed through their actions. We should note that Lautrec is only ever helpful to the player. He is never an antagonistic force to you. However, he's set up to create adversity, because he takes away a central bonfire, as well as your first haven. It is the player's own sense of right and wrong that decides whether or not they think Lautrec did something bad. While it is true that he murders Anastacia, the fact is, is that she is undead like the rest of the inhabitants of Lordran. She is also a prisoner, unlike other Firekeepers. She was put there by someone else's will. In a sense, Lautrec freed her, and he also kept her soul instead of using it to upgrade his estus or to restore his health. When we go after Lautrec, it introduces us to the Darkmoon Blade's covenant mechanic. A covenant where you become a blue phantom to enact the Gods' justice on those who've wronged Anor Londo. We are only meting out what we believe to be justice, yet when we reclaim her soul, all we do is return her to her prison to fuel the bonfire. While we believe ourselves to be righteous, we're just using her, as Lautrec was, and it was us who initiated the aggression towards Lautrec. Also note that Lautrec never stops us from being a malevolent force, should we desire to be one. Not all players are the same, and some choose to kill most NPCs they encounter, if only to see what will happen/what they will drop. A lot of our interactions, whether for weal or for woe in Dark Souls showcase the most basic facets of human nature, as well as the nature of life and the world. After all, if you are successfully malevolent to all of the NPCs you meet, then you can encounter the Four Kings early, and are rewarded with the truth of Dark Souls' world.

Long time dark souls player, beaten the game countless times. His character always stood out to me. I feel like he is very misunderstood. He obviously has some sort of very personal reason for his treacherous deeds. I always felt as if he was betrayed by a loved one. Then, as he became warped by the dark sign, he became a manifestation of that hatred towards that particular person or persons.
