    What does Crown of the Old Iron King and Dark Souls 2 Crown of the Sunken King and Crown of the Ivory King and Dark Souls 3 Ashes of Ariandel and Ringed City and Dark Souls Artorias of the Abyss and Bloodborne Old Hunters DLC all have in common? Well Sekiiro never had what they have, a proper dlc! The fromsoftware way is taking the traditional dlc formula and elevating it to another plane. Typically we are presented with another world, sometimes even a new story, but Fromsoft seem to end their own tales while delivering the most iconic bosses in the dlc. Some bosses that come to mind are Artorias the abyss walker, Manus, Kalameet, The Fume Knight, Sir Alonne, Ludwig, Lady Maria, Orphan of Kos, Laurence, Sister Freide, Slave Knight Gael, Midir, and more! With all of these bosses and dlc's it's no wonder that Miyazaki is one of the most influential people of the year and Fromsoft one of the best studios in gaming!

Only bosses I truly thought needed to be improved were Darkbeast Paarl, Witches, The One Reborn and Micolash.

    Dark Souls 1's DLC is actually the key event that eventually leads into Dark Souls 2 with the Children of Manus. The main antagonist of Dark Souls 2 is Nashandra, a fragment of Manus, who takes on a form similar to Dusk and seduces King Vendrick after having him return to Lordran (the land of the Giants in ds2) to acquire their "power" (which is commonly accepted to be the First Flame itself, or since it is the Throne of Want, a part of the Kiln of the First Flame). I strongly suspected that Nashandra allowed the player to enter a portal going back in time during the events of the game in order to use him since she can not attain the power to ascend the throne herself due to the many restrictions Vendrick had in place.
    The Dark Souls 2 DLC feature ancient Kingdoms nearing Drangleic, who all had influence from a Child of Manus, and each have their own purpose in explaining how each Kingdom came to ruin.

    • @themightymcb7310
      @themightymcb7310 Рік тому +2

      We don't know exactly what the power of the giants was and it's implied that Drangleic is built on top of old civilizations from ages past. You can even find the broken Lord Vessel in the basement under the mansion in Majula.
      My best guess is that the power of the giants was the magic that Vendrick used to create the Golems. There are a bunch of them just outside of the Throne of Want and generally all over Drangleic Castle, plus that one soldier dude in the giant's memory makes reference to them iirc.

      I've been saying this since like May last year. Considering the clear indications of Miquella, and the likelihood that we see the Helphen--the field of wheat (and potentially Godwyn emerging from the roots of the Great Tree to overtake the Erdtree), I suspect it means we will get a whole new region at the center of the map. The "Shadow of the Erdtree" may be a result of the Eclipse casting a shadow over the area between the Divine Towers, summoning the Helphen into the physical world and allowing us to explore it.
      Imagine going to the cliffs on the edge of each region and seeing the DLC region there permanently after unlocking it for that cycle... I hope the DLC update will also add the unique tree/sky appearance for whichever ending you select. Fractured would remain the same as the early/mid game tree, Order will have a more vibrant gold color and the skies will be gold even from Limgrave, and so on... Frenzied has the tree just gone and the skies engulfed with frenzied clouds, and Age of the Stars could just show the dead tree with the Dark Moon looming overhead.

    One idea for a dlc I see come up a lot is “post ending dlcs”, basically a dlc that takes place in the world of Ranni’s order or the Frenzied Flame. I have to constantly remind people that FromSoft just doesn’t do dlcs that way, they usually always explore another facet of the lore that never got fleshed out instead of lore that has plenty of material. Additionally dlcs have to be content you can play while in a playthrough, it’s not something that has ever required that you beat the entire game first in order to access it.

      @@thephoenix4093 As explained by Aldia in DS2, refusing to link the fire only means that your character didn't linked the flame, but what stops another undead to do it ? Nothing. That's why your choice doesn't matter (according to Aldia), if you don't link it, someone else will.
      DS3, the only one without a sequel was the only one where another choice was possible, you could link the flame, don't link the flame (same as DS1 and 2) but you could also take the flame for yourself, extinguish it or use it to bring about an age of Hollows.
      For Elden Ring however, your actions have consequences, whatever the ending you chose, as every one of them brings about a new Age and alter the Elden Ring (there is no "do nothing" ending like in Dark Souls).

    I'm thinking about Shadow of the Erdtree, you probably guys know how Empyreans have their shadow beasts to act basically as bodyguards and also keep them in line should they ever try to break free from the Greater Will. So my thoughts are .. What IF the Erdtree itself has also a Shadow Beast, or an entity to protect it. I mean with you now in the throne things are changing, what if there is retaliation. I mean the title has the name Shadow and Fromsoft always hide something in the titles if their DLCs.

    Ringed City is incredible and Gael's fight at the end of the world is the perfect ending to the Dark Souls trilogy!

    I feel like doom eternal is the only other game that (sort of) did the same with its DLC, yeah the final boss is underwhelming af but i like the idea that after a challenging like elden dark souls or doom that the DLC focuses on the hardcore playerbase. They always have to 1up the main game in difficulty and what i LOVE about fromsoft dlc’s is that they always sort of tie in the loose ends in the story too. Leading to a super satisfying experience

    There are seven mausoleums, five with bells, and bell mausoleums are dedicated to five dead demigods.
    Would be interesting if we fight the dead demigods slain by Black Knife/Ranni conspiracy, and somehow unbind and free them. It would give us 5 major bosses, fifth and final one being Godwyn. (Mausoleum in Deeproot Depths).
    We might even know few of the names belonging to slain demigods. Churches are named after religious figures, like many churches for Marika.
    But there is also churches dedicated to Irith and Elleh. It would make most sense these were demigods killed and rendered soulless by Black Knife assassins.

    Bruh, did you just neglect to mention ma'boy the Sanctuary Guardian among the dlc bosses? I guess it doesnt have all the story impact of the other 3 but its a damn fine boss, great visual design, spacious arena the boss actually utilizes both in movement and with the lightning attacks that get conducted somewhat by the water, varied and well telegraphed moveset and you get the double guardians as a secret fight if you come back, thats defenitly top tier material imo

      Please, even if you do all that, you'd only get more questions. I get that it's good for content creators but it's just speculations and fan theories unit you get some sort of confirmation from FS.
      I don't even know what my character motivation is. Why does he want to become Elden Lord? What do all the endings mean? Is Marika dead?⁰
      Do they even change anything? There is still rot, Godwin is still spreading his roots of death.
      I've spent countless hours listening to lore videos, some of them even criticise how poor the storytelling is compared to other souls games so that has to mean something.
      As a first FS game, it was very challenging and beating it left me feeling empty. What was all for?

Cause I'm mysteries, you have to search for clues and figure things out on your own. But if we're going to call it "storytelling" it doesn't achieve that objective. I like to speculate and watch speculation videos too, but to have to do that or search for hours for random items to understand a story is not storytelling. I enjoy these game but having a story but telling your audience to figure it out is lazy and cheap at the end of the day.
