Fuck man, that dialogue in OP. Just imagine all the feels rushing through your body while you fight Artorias. Also, did anyone notice that From seems to LOVE Artorias? Not just that the DLC is named after him, no. His presence is in many places in the main game. Take a look at pic related. You can see that the character obviously wields the Greatsword of Artorias, probably his shield too. It seems to be too big to be the Grass Crest Shield. The armor does also seem to be an early concept of Artorias' armor. It may look like the EK set at first, but the helm is nowhere near EK mode. tl;dr: Dark Souls 2 plays a few hundred years before Dark Souls with loads of Artorias.

>>15109764 I would play it without a doubt, don't get me wrong but I would be very cautious. A lot of the reason Artorias, or anyone/thing in Dark Souls seems so fucking great is because it's based mostly on speculation and implications rather then giving you a straight answer as to what happened or who someone was. This is one of the reasons I can't decide whether I'd like another Dark Souls or a new universe, although I will gladly eat up any DLC they want to throw out.

This implies that at some point Frampt must have had a change of mind and it would seem he was on Kaathe's side once. What's more: All the NPCs in the DLC do mention a toothy snake that tempted Oolacile, but never mentioned any names. Interesting fact since Kaathe is generally associated with the abyss and darkness due to being the covenant leader of the darkwraiths. Speculation kicks in now: It seems not far off, that it was Frampt who tempted Oolacile into opening Manus' grave. After he saw what the darkness did do Oolacile he could have regretted his actions and sided with Gwyn. It would seem plausible that it was Frampt who told Anor Londo about the Abyss and the Darkness in the first place (wether the gods knew about the darkness and the abyss before it started spreading cannot be confirmed though).

>>15111372 Part 2 Something else: It is said that Artorias joined a covenant with a creature from the abyss and learned the art of abysswalking. Now this ties in a little with my speculation: The creature from the abyss cannot be Kaathe. That would have made him a darkwraith and would have sided him with the darkness. It cannot have been Manus either since Manus is a beast without rational thoughts, incapable of forming covenants. That leaves... Frampt. Frampt could have told them about the abyss, and helped Artorias to enter it, hoping that Artorias could halt it. More about Frampt being the one who tempted Oolacile: If Frampt was really bothered by regret and sided with Gwyn and became the seeker of firewood, then it would explain why he is among the other serpents in the Dark Lord ending. He saw how his plans have failed and had no choice but to return to the other snakes, as the abyss was the only remaining fraction then.

>>15111654 Hard to say. The only thing I'd say with much certainty is that the dark soul probably gets stronger as it is reformed. >>15111703 Not necessarily... Manus became such because "his humanity went wild", we don't know WHY it went wild, it might have nothing to do with how much humanity he had. Personally I think it's related to his pendant, some tragedy that the pendant reminds him of caused his humanity to go wild (emotional trauma) obviously there's probably more to it than that, else there'd be multiple fathers of the abyss, but I like the theory and I can think of little else to explain the importance of the pendant >>15111790 ENB is reaching too far with that. Read the description: it only says that their knights became darkwraiths. Not that they became the first darkwraiths, or the only darkwraiths, or even THE darkwraiths.

>>15112596 It's fairly obvious after the DLC that Artorias did not join the Darkwraiths, but rather that he made a covenant with Alvina now that we know she's an abyssal creature for a fact. There is absolutely nothing indicating that he joined the Darkwraiths aside from the wording "joined a Covenant with the beasts of the Abyss". When they speak of the serpents, they usually tend to state "serpent" as they are hardly beasts. Alvina however, is a beast of the Abyss. It makes sense why Sif has the ring, then, since Alvina and Sif are friends - and why she tries so hard to make you avoid going to Artorias' fake grave.

It's also weird that you can warp to the bonfires in Oolacile even when they're at a different time period compared to the ones in Lordran.

I meant in terms of gameplay. This is a case of gameplay overtaking lore. If you haven't noticed, From makes all lore items actual useful items, there are no totally unusable "lore only" items. If they made him give you an additional fragment, they'd have to do one of two things: Make it not do anything, thus violating their precedent. Or, give it some kind of ability or use. Wait a minute. This might sound like a good idea, but think about this. This fragment of the pendant is now DIFFERENT from the one you have. It would lead to all sorts of implications that From does not necessarily want it to have. Thus, he drops no pendant related item. >>15113521 They probably did not.

What would /dsg/ say is a good Halberd build? Quality build (27/40) with Leo ring? (wiki says that Leo only boosts phys damage so making it elemental wouldn't be as useful) also bearing in mind that the Halberd is only D/C strength and dex modifiers. Or should I drop the ring, just meet minimum requirements for the weapon and make it elemental and boost health up really high?
