If you choose his side, this clown will tell you that it's your fate "to succeed the Great Lord Gwyn" in a quest to "link the Fire, cast away the Dark, and undo the curse of the Undead." This self-proclaimed "close friend of the Great Lord Gwyn" is an odd fellow, whose massive teeth gruesomely click and clatter as he bobs his head in pedantic discussion. You first meet Kingseeker Frampt while bumbling your way through Firelink Shrine after you ring the Bells of Awakening. Simply put, Gwyndolin's lower body of undulating snakes is about as creepy as Dark Souls gets. what the hell is going on with the half-dozen snake heads sprouting from beneath his robes? Perhaps Seath's mutated Man-Serpents or those pesky primordial serpents Frampt and Kaathe know something about it we really just don't know. The kid is creepy enough to begin with, but. Even his way of speaking is suspiciously esoteric. Gwyndolin's mastery of magic is astonishing, and there's a strange ambiguity about the sorceries and miracles of the soul arts that surround him. From his secret lair in the Darkmoon Tomb, Gwyndolin rules the illusory streets of Anor Londo with a strange and sinister agenda and once either the false vision of his sister Gwynevere is dispelled or the player finds the Darkmoon Seance Ring in the Catacombs, we come to realize this taciturn covenant leader is "the only remaining deity in Anor Londo." The story behind Anor Londo's pernicious pantheon is both tragic and circuitous, veiled in mystery just like the city itself is bathed in magical glamour to mask its dark truths.
To celebrate the darker side of Dark Souls, we're taking a look at the creepiest things we found in Lordran - from the illusion-haunted heights of Anor Londo to the shadowy depths of the Abyss itself. Dark Souls is a game that utilizes horror as often as (if not more so than) any other genre during its robust depiction of time-honored fantasy tropes. IGN told gamers in 2011 that "if you're interested in the limits of the video game form - to see just how focused, how pure and how uncompromising in its vision a game can be - Dark Souls is unmissable." And if the critical praise heaped upon it by industry tastemakers isn't enough to convince you, the game's rabid fanbase and legion of shameless imitators should do the trick (looking at you, Lords of the Fallen).īut with so much focus on the game's challenging gameplay and punishing boss battles, the conversation around its special brand of dark fantasy has sometimes grown as obscure as the legend of lost Oolacile or the fate of Gwyn's firstborn. No one person with the exception of the game’s creator knows what the entire story of the game is, so that doesn’t leave the community with much to solidify as fact.FromSoftware's Dark Souls redefined action-adventure video gaming. If you feel that a detail was meant to be seen in another light, by all means believe that was the direction taken with the story. This is due to the nature of how these extra bits of story are told, mostly through item descriptions and some character dialogue. Although for many bosses, even the interpretations can be easily different from person to person. This website’s goal is to compile all known facts about the boss and interpret them as best as possible.
Yet many of the bosses and characters have their own little stories of why they are interacting with the world in the way they do. The main storyline is always presented right in front of you, with the introduction cutscene setting up the narrative for the game to follow.
