banter

Sen built it. And to block the way into anor London clearly

sen

The gods, so that the access to Anor Londo was granted only to the strongest warriors

>Who built this
>SEN'S fortress
really made me think

The servants of Anor Londo built it wrong, as a joke.

It's a proving ground to make sure mongs like you can't get into Another Londo and tard the place up.

And who is Sen?

Sen means thousand in Japanese, so, Sen's Fortress is Fortress of Thousand (traps)

Surprisingly enough it was Siegmeyer of Catarina. He built it because he's very shy and needed a prop to actually talk to people.

>thousand traps
>there's no more than 20
Dumb nips can't even count.

>there will never be a Sen bossfight

hold me bros?

To test your mettle, very obviously. Memer London is the city of the gods and not just any fag is going to be allowed in.

I like this therefore it is correct.

I ask myself this question everytime day.

kotaku.com/5874599/what-dark-souls-is-really-all-about

>inb4 kotaku
Yes I know

Who built this and why?

Sen doesn't exist. It's a shit translation

There's 20 that you see
Most of the traps are hidden
Some of the traps are metaphorical (The real trap is achieving your destination)

To make grain obviously

i like that fashion

I thought they only harvested poison in that area.

because giant mill pueblos fit ds edgy teen aesthetic.

We still need a windmill to reach lava areas

What a load of bullshit.

This is somehow worse than vaati's videos.

If there's one thing that I miss from dark souls 2 is the emotes. This one and the no no no one should come back. I hope they add some back in the ds3 dlc

He means film grain look at that blurry mess

fuck off

No one since the DS2 devs clearly didn't give a shit about lore and consistency.

I miss poise.

Well what's a not shit translation then

At least it isn't narrated in a terribly forced and whiney voice.

Vaati's videos are so cringy.
In fact, the majority of people talking about DS is pretty cringy.

Part of me wishes it had never become this popular so they community would still be decent but that would also mean; no Bloodborne.

>terribly forced and whiney voice

LEAVE AUSTRALIANS ALONE

I still miss those threads trying to piece the lore together, it was much better that way.

This

Mentioned in thread. The japanese word Sen meant thousand (traps)

Fortress of a thousand traps

Sen

to keep out normies

It's a homage to Deathtrap Dungeon from Fighting Fantasy.

The literal translation would be "castle of a thousand traps".

Although it's kinda silly that people who don't even speak japanese get mad about it.

It's just as autistic as people who complain that DS3 references Braille since it's named after a real-life person, when they don't complain about the raven's beak being called lucerne even though it's named after a country in switzerland.

"DS fans" are so cringy.

the windmill(s) power(s) a magical engine that creates an interdimensional portal allowing you take an elevator to a castle sinking into lava

It's nothing to do with speaking Jap, it's literally called "Sen's" which means it belongs to Sen. Who is Sen?

The dude who built the castle.
It doesn't matter. one way or the other.
Your gaming experience is not going to change if it's renamed into "deadly danger castle of a thousand deadly traps of death".

One translation that's actually bad is "firelink shrine" which's literal translation would be something along the lines of "ritual place of the successor of the flame", since that would've been kind of a major hint.

Hey buddy. I don't know if you know this but the game was developed in Japan and translated to English. I mean, I feel like you should have known that

No, your firelink example basically means the same thing. The Sens fortress translation gives a completely different meaning to the name

That's completely different. Firelink Shrine communicates the same thing as the original name.

Sen's Fortress references something that doesn't even exist.

So, what it is it?

the snek queen had it built to acquire more poison to make her skin look better

i swear to gwyn

it's a fortress that was probably built by people who follow the "gods" of anor londo, meant to filter out chosen undead who were too shit to even attempt to go for the lordvessel

>"Sen's Fortress is an old proving grounds built by the ancient gods."
The ancient gods obviously.

Rather than using the kanji for thousand which is 千, "Sen" in the name of fortress is written in katakana セン, which implies a foreign name.
Or maybe Sen who built/designed the fortress was a cheeky cunt, and named the fortress that because it is filled with thousand traps.

It could just be called sens fortress and not belong to anybody named "Sen" you fucking retards. I didn't know the statue of liberty was owned by someone named liberty.

> Who build this and why?
Gwyn built it for his little princess daughter.

or maybe it's a pun because Japs are all over that shit

I didn't know it was called Liberty's Statue.

>not belong to anybody
>(Name/Title)'s
>Not a possessive.

>Sen's fortress
>Statue of liberty
>same thing

>she

I didn't know it had to be made or owned by Sen to be named that. Why are ds lore fags the worse cretins on the internet?

dis nigga

Why do you sperg out whenever you disagree with something?

You are actually retarded holy shit.

Well it is called the possessive Apostrophe for a reason.
It is literally about possession.

Too obvious, you will have to try harder if you want to catch something else than newfags.

It could literally be named anything faggot. Doesn't mean someone named that has to own it.

first post == best post

Yeah but it's possessive, which means it belongs to the person or entity or noun. Fucking idiot.

>making a big deal out of the gender of your lunch
Do you really care if the chicken that went into your tendies was a boy or girl?

It's not even about lore you colossal dumbass. You literally do no understand what a possessive apostrophe is and people are calling you retarded for it while you scream "LOREFAGS ARE SO STUPID!"

But that is what the words mean user.

You might as well argue it is not a fortress. Maybe it is not. It doesn't have to be a fortress just because it is called a fortress.
That does not change the meaning of words you massive fucking retard.

I didn't know someone could be this dumb, or be this stubborn about it

>your lunch
que

This. It's センの古城, good luck finding what's it supposed to actually mean.
In any case, I haven't found a single trap in there, only snakedudes.

OK, keeping on topic here chaps:


who isn't gay but much prefers a cock being in their porn as opposed to a dildo or strapon

WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF FUN

>I haven't found a single trap in there
Seriously, now.

>he doesn't know about Gwyndolin
He's rather tasty, in a non-sexual way

all the lizards are chicks with dicks.

Papa nito built it so you could have the best gravelording experience ever

...

...

What's wrong with you? Seriously. These threads aren't an invitation for you to spam your webms.

...

animations look wonky and the combat weightless, like a shitty korean mmo.

>Not letting one alive so he can report to the others about weeborai

weak game

...

...

>it's like I'm really playing dinasty warriors!

Alright, that's pretty good.

It was built for those antisocial pink gargoyles so they would stop loitering around the Anor Londo supermarkets, and just harass people who make it to the top.

que

Not it's not you fucking idiots.
If it really meant thousands traps it wouldn't omit the traps part, because Japanese grammar is very rigid and doesn't let you simply omit words like that.
And more importantly Sen is written in katakana, which is used specifically for foreign words and names.
Sen's Fortress is absolutely correct translation, because that's exactly what it says in the original.

For what purpose?

...

The biggest trap of all.

Fire Keeperfu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Doll

>And more importantly Sen is written in katakana, which is used specifically for foreign words and names.
And again, it could easily be a play on words, since japs are cheeky buggers like that. Like they knew it would be mixed upon translation.
Give them a bit more credit.

...

No one knows who built it, but it was originally intended to be a means of getting to Anor Londo before the way in was blocked off, as evidenced in the Iron Golem's boss room. After it was blocked off and shit got fucked ten ways til Tuesday, the place was repurposed to be a goddamn death house.

It is still a play on words even if it is a name.

...

...

You're just as bad as barney fag

It can't be. "The fortress of thousand" makes just as little sense in Japanese as it does in English.

...

>"The fortress of thousand" makes just as little sense
It does, the traps part can be inferred upon entering the bloody thing.
>fortress of thousand? Thousand what?
>oh.

See and do it irl

Sen for the snakes dumbo

So who is this guy trying to make everyone hate Nioh?
Butthurt soulsfag or autistic Niohfag?

The latter, no doubt.

I'm looking forward to it but this guy is a fucking pest.

...

So while we're on the subject, is this shit any good?

Judging by the fact that he has actual footage, and I've seen him post a couple of these webms before, severely autistic Niohfag.

There's a similar guy who spams boring ass NMS webms that this guy remidns me of. They're so wrapped up in a certain game they can't seem to understand that no-one else actually wants to see their webms.

neither, he's a faggot who wants to derail souls threads

no he admitted in another thread that he knows its annoying people . He keeps on doing it because it usually causes arguments and brings him pleasure

shut the fuck up aldritch

Oh shit, I dropped this

What are those webms of, mining for bullshit?

The saltmaker built it, to make the saltiest salt in all the land.

That and that copypasta about the Mark of the conquered really make me worried about the fanbase of that game.

Its not like Souls had a great fanbase to begin with but it seems like Nioh will be much much worse.

That was a good wank

No, usually just walking places and looking at the "beautiful" scenery. The guy is truly delusional and somehow seems to think he's not wasting his time despite spamming them in dead threads.

remember its just one guy doing this. I you went to the nioh threads during the alpha and beta ,they were pretty calm and helpful to people

>THEY'RE ONLY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED

That's not what I said at all, you effervescent douchekit.

Sen's fortress is so much better sounding than a castle of thousand traps

Same with the eighth passenger being superior to alien

I know americans can't understand that some things are not meant to be painstakingly explained but

Why did you change the filename?

GOOD MORNING MISS

It probably had a similar function to the arena in Oolicile before they closed it off and put the Iron Golem there

>Purple Coward's Crystal
>Victory in the battle once led to ancient Anor Londo, but even in the absence of its overseer, capitulation is a disgrace. In the name of a warrior's honor, do not quickly resort to use of this crystal.

thought this new one fit it better

To avoid filename filters.

DS1 Bonfire>All

doesn't annoy you with BEAR SEEK SEEK LEST and is always there to level up

sauce

This. Being able to level up at any bonfire is far and away better than being forced to go back to homebase (and a loading screen) every single time.

senpai, how many Demon's Souls doujins do you think there are floating around out there?
I even gave you half of the tags

look for demon's souls doujin

Somehow the idea that Gwynevere has just been hopping husbands with the changing of each Age of Fire is just sad. Gwyn's family has been irrevocably fucked.

...

Thanks my weaboo friends. When I googled the filename it gave me this g.e-hentai.org/g/560524/841787dab4/
Seems about right

>Behind the Undead Parish, surrounded by forest and wildlife, the Sen's Fortress was constructed, to serve as a test for those who wish to enter the City of the Gods, Anor Londo.
>In order to finally reach Anor Londo, a tired warrior will need to fight the last guardian of the Fortress, the gatekeeper Iron Golem, that has repelled and slayed countless heroes and was created by the Gods of Anor Londo by fusing the power of a soul with the bones of the dragons, forming a core for this monstrosity made of steel.
>Heroes and warriors from different eras have tried to reach Anor Londo. While some have succeeded, like the knight of Berenike Knight called Black Iron Tarkus or the Sunlight adherent Solaire of Astora, many others have failed, such as a considerable amount of Berenike knights, Balder knights, Balder's King, Knight King Rendal; legendary sorcerers such as Big Hat Logan, who ended trapped in a cage, or royalty knights gone hollow such as Prince Ricard. Others have lost hope, like the Crestfallen Merchant or Siegmeyer of Catarina.

Close enough desu

Use MD5 to filter to remove the effect of changed filename.

Between Sen's Fortress and the Oolicile Arena if the gods hated humans so much as to make them go through all this bullshit just to get into Anor Londo it makes you wonder why they even allowed humans in at all.

just an fyi, all chickens that you eat are female. you are thinking of roosters, which male chicks are immediately ground up since they cause a lot of fights and try and fuck the girls like mad ruining their egg industry

Do we know the identities of the DaS3 dlc bosses yet?

i only changed the name of that file

Filenames shouldn't be used to filter out anything since two people might name different files similarly.

Cringe in its purest form.
You're just buttdevasted he's good looking and makes money talking about a video game series you enjoy. There's nothing forced about his voice, the fucking guy just talks lore with good production value.

Neo/v/ is trully becoming pathetic.

Hi vaaty, what videos are you making now that Dark Souls is dead?

But in this case it's Sen's fortress, not fortress of Sen. I can't stop laughing at this thread.

what game lmao?

nioh

There's DaS3 DLC coming soon user.

...

Is this dank souls 2 or 3?

PRESS O TO CLIP THROUGH THE CROWD THAT DOES NOTHING

I don't know if the Nioh poster wants people to like Nioh or hate it.

It's not even "Fortress of a Thousand" in Japanese, it's literally "Sen's Fortress", Sen being spelled in Katakana.

It would be a 100x worse translation if it were called "Fortress of a Thousand" when the Japanese version is not called that at all.

Thanks user, but what is it?
At first glance I thought it was scraped concept for a soulsborne game or some alpha.
It kinda looks like it has potential but something feels weird and amateurish. Who makes this? And why does the guy look like Geralt?

>only 2 bosses
>rehashed painted world
>le epic viking meme enemies

>filename

?

its a combination of souls +ninjagaiden+onimusha

this was made by the same people who made ninja gaiden and onimusha. Most of the webms you see are from the alpha and the beta. A lot of people think it has potential as well but most of us are waiting for the full game to release before we judge. Also the character is based off of william adams

There's a bonfire in sens fortress?

Thanks. Is it PSquadruple exclusive or is there a chance for pc pirate? That really looks like the kind of game that can be fun for a few hours even if it's seriously flawed.

>Only 2 bosses
There is sythe girl, wolf with guy and big man with big estus pot, no? Or is wolf with guy not a boss?

there might be a chance for it come to pc but right now it is stated as a ps4 exclusive :(

scythe girl, bowl man, and bowl man v2: giant crowman edition, all count as a single boss. They're a 3 phase, back-to-back-to-back marathon fight.

Wolf is the other boss.

>scythe girl, bowl man, and bowl man v2: giant crowman edition, all count as a single boss. They're a 3 phase, back-to-back-to-back marathon fight.
That sounds fucking terrible

yea, just that one

>That sounds fucking terrible
No, it sounds amazing. You just have to git gud at estus management

I went through sen's fortress thinking you had to start in undead parish every time you died.

> That really looks like the kind of game that can be fun for a few hours even if it's seriously flawed.

there were a lot of people who played the demo's over 30-40 hours of playtime. Its genuinely a fun game

goddamnit nigga

>Good looking
>5'2"

Just lmao at your life kid. Lmao @ u.

It's not really a huge difference as long as you find the shortcut.
Kinda annoying though.

I did that too, it's not that big of a deal. Once you find the elevator shortcut to the start of the level it's not really that bad of a trip

what youre doing is reaching.

I mean it seems like a cop-out, having one big fight in one place instead of spreading the bosses out over the world.

I hope the DLC isn't too small.

My estimate is that the dlc will be about half the size of TOH -- picture TOH ending with the Living Failures and that's the size we're likely to get

So autistic and buttblasted he knows how tall the fucking dude is. Just how pathetic is your life? lmaoing @ ur life

It was built by the gods, and named after Sen, which was the name of Gwyn's firstborn before he was exiled.

I don't remember this item description at all.

That sounds annoying. I'd rather wait a few more months and get a big DLC

The only voice that matters is the japanese one

Shit, wrong thread

SHORTCUT?

Fetch me the long rubber glove

I really dont get why people had issues with sens fortress

Gotta be real stupid to get hit by axes.
You might hit the pressure plates if youre blind.
Snakes can just be crushed with parries.
Gotta be real stupid to get hit by the boulder more than once.
The mimic can fug you up.

I got through it on 5 flasks first try. You really have no excuses once you get to that point in the game.

I really don't get why people use flasks in Sen's Fortress.
I beat it without armor or getting hit.

That was my ng+

Jump the bridge at the top of the fortress with the gap, go downstairs, kill the electric snake guy, pick up the key. After jumping the gap again and taking the right you'll see two cages that can be unlocked with the key. They're elevators that lead to the beginning of Sens

its treason then

There's like maybe one set of axes at the top that's a little difficult to time but other than that I spent a lot of time exploring and trying to get all of the goods. Sens fortress is fun, it's the anal rodeo archers that pissed me off.

Isn't Sens exactly the point were the Drake Sword drops off being useful?

the most obnoxious part of the whole game is the bloathead gank that's right before the chained prisoner

Can't a nigga build a death trap in peace?

what a badass

Jigsaw?

The Nameless King built it.

You find a Lighting Spear, Serpent motifs are prevalent and a strong link to bells means it is consistent with Archdragon Peak in DS3. Ricard also appears in both areas, as well as the Ring of Steel Protection.

A trial for warriors made by one of the most esteemed warrior, who also will have led a group of Silver Knights who have statues in Sen's Fortress.

Sen can therefore be assumed to mean son, hinting that the firstborn's name was Gwynsen, as is consistent with the pattern of Gwyn's children all having his name too.

All traces of his name were removed, but it is still the son's fortress since that's vague enough to be retained, but it's hinted that whilst the game tells you the place is called Sen's Fortress, other characters don't actually know this except Andre and Frampt who are old enough to be aware of what happened in the past.

Sen is the Nameless King.

Who knows.

But it was built FOR Sen, not BY Sen.

'Tis' treason, then.

Who? I aint Jigsaw, I'm a..uh random nigga. Yeah, that's right. Not Jigsaw..

The hyper aggressive bloatheads always either force you into a corner or push you out in the open where the casters one shot snipe you.
It's not even a safe bet to run past.

So Gwyndolin?

Sure, we can go with that. But can we please stop pretending Nameless King is somehow Priscilla's father? Seath is clearly the father and that shit is driving me nuts.

Think the issues only arise if you somehow manage to miss the bonfire and the shortcut too.

This

They wanted the very best only, no scrubz allowed.

>Who built it?
Donald Trump
>Why?
To keep the dirty people out of the promised land

>that fucking room
forced me to upgrade my pyro glove desu, can't possibly be bothered to fight all those fuckers with pure melee

>You're just buttdevasted he's good looking
That's what your little outburst is all about, isn't it? Stop being a white knight faggot, you insipid twat.
>and makes money talking about a video game series you enjoy.
If he'd stick to the games that'd be fine, but he stole most of his lore theories from /dsg/ and whatever he added himself was nothing but fanfiction. I don't mind the presentation of the videos, though, just the content.

2, the level is earthen peak.

I don't think he can help himself.

>this was made by the same people who made ninja gaiden
Except not really, and it shows.

The animations look really janky, though.

Itagaki's complexion has really been improving

It's a safe assumption, this anal-retentive shtick of yours is annoying.

they made it to reach iron keep

I don't get why people analyze these things in hindsight. It's like they're irredeemably retarded.

First try, non-lethal, no armor or weapons. Get on the level, scrublord.

Since when has anyone thought that? I thought the general consensus has always been seath is the father.

time and place is abstract in lordra- er... drangleic :)

Kek ultra greatsword cuck tryhard.


You have hyperarmor, get gud, poise was always broken.

>Others have lost hope, like the Crestfallen Merchant or Siegmeyer of Catarina.
Siegmeyer made it through this description is fucking bunk and does him an injustice

Don't pretend like you noticed this until you saw someone whine about it on Cred Forums.

>Siegmeyer made it through
Once the chosen undead cleared the area.

B Team initially wanted them to be giant fans instead of windmills that'd blow the poisonous fog out of Harvest Valley.

>Don't pretend like you noticed this
How can you not notice it? Seriously, you're climbing a tower/windmill unto a sea of lava. It's fucking mind boggling.
I love DS2 probably even more than 1 but that shit was just ridiculous.

What's your point?

don't act like you didn't see the earthen peak thumbnail for the first time and immediately thought "how the fuck does this lead to iron keep?"

He'd still have to beat the golem, I doubt the demon guys would just be like "alright you can come too"

There are two things that should've annoyed every single first time player. The transition from Earthen Peak to Iron Keep and getting walled from Castle Drangleic by a small pile of rubble.

>Build a giant door that can only be opened by someone who carries a million souls or some equivalent
>My king why would we do that when there's a clear path leading to the castle right over there
>Oh you're right. Just put a bunch of rocks and shit over there. No one will want to go through the effort of just climbing over it

Nah, it's still autism, being able and willing to spend the time to do such repetitive meandering tasks over and over without losing interest is a sign of autism, it wouldn't even occur to a normal person to spend their time in such a manner.
So even if it amuses it, it still has autism.

>being able and willing to spend the time to do such repetitive meandering tasks over and over without losing interest is a sign of autism
Sounds more like OCD.

>"it blocks the path to anor lando!"
>anor lando is up a kilometer tall cliff and wall
Such stupid bullshit.

There was a gate before. It's blocked now.

Did you look at the Iron Golem arena? There's a door there that leads up the wall but it's been closed off by stone

Who built this and why?

No proof that it goes to anor lando, considering there's no gate on the opposite side anywhere.

Anywhere you can travel in game. The wall is fucking huge and you only go up a small part of it. By Gargoyle. But Anor Londo is also below Gwyn's keep and there's an entire city down there where you as a player can't access. And it's the only location behind the wall.

>No proof that it goes to anor lando
Other than the general location of it, and the route the gargoyles take you on. You don't get to explore most of anor londo during the game, either.

Sens Fortress is the Fort of War. It was created to harden Veterans even further by pushing them through a trial of traps and combat.

The boss guy built those.
>and why

The general location is still a kilometer below the wall, it more likely goes to tomb of the giants or something.

>The general location is still a kilometer below the wall
How did we measure this?

...What? The Tomb of the Giants is in an entirely different part of Lordran nearby Firelink Shrine. It doesn't even connect to the Anor Londo. And even then you have to get to the Catacombs first. That's a pretty hefty leap in logic.

Don't forget molotov cocktails being in bloodborne because that name didn't exist until the mid 1900's

What make it the best souls game of the three games?

Katakana is not exclusively used for foreign words and names by a long shot.

There are many native Japanese words that are commonly written in Katakana, such as ookami and most native names for animals, ikasama, ore, kikkake, and basically every onomatopoeia, and on top of that, depending on the writer, many native words are often written in Katakana to suggest either emphasis on specific words, stylized speaking (a common trend in manga is to write everything robots say in Katakana to suggest a robotic voice) or just stylization in general because the author thinks it's cool, such as Fukumoto's Akagi and Kaiji being written in Katakana on the title despite both being common names with very common Kanji.

There's also thousands of Japanese poems from hundreds of years ago that are only written in Katakana because it was common parlance at the time to do so, and these poems are still reproduced in all-Katakana format in order to maintain the authenticity of the writing.

Though unless there was a real place called the Fortress of a Thousand Traps that the developers assumed the Japanese audience would be familiar with, I have to agree that it's more likely to refer to a Fortress belonging to the person by the name of Sen by the katakana usage, with a possible (not absolute) underlying double meaning of "Fortress of a Thousand (something)" that the players can realize after going into the place. I think traps is kind of a stretch, maybe deaths would fit well.

>It's not even "Fortress of a Thousand" in Japanese, it's literally "Sen's Fortress", Sen being spelled in Katakana.
The thing about this is that, grammatically in Japanese, saying X's Y is literally saying the Y of X.

X no Y, where 'no' indicates possession by "of" in English
センの古城 - Sen's Fortress, literally the Fortress of Sen
千の古城 - literally Fortress of (1) Thousand
In spoken Japanese, there is no difference in the pronunciation whatsoever, hence the possible double meaning.

Nostalgia goggles, I'm replaying it right now and the only thing superior about it is the level design and maybe the lore. The combat system is just barely a notch above Demons'.

Now stop right there. That user doesn't deserve to be lumped with that Barneyfag

At least Barneyfag has a noble cause.

He's getting there, those webms are becoming a knee-jerk reaction to souls threads, when there would be no Nioh without Demons'/Dark Souls.

I'm with you. Liberty isn't an actual person. It's the statue of the concept of liberty. Good point

It's an undertale reference
>san's fortress
>you have a REALLY bad time

Its not level design. It is how the levels are connected.

Level design in the other games is just as good it is just not as connected.

But I gotta be honest that shit added a lot to DaS1 and I am sad they moved away from it. Even if it was for better online or better bosses respectively.

Yeah it's great not have to run to babby daycare zone every time you want to not lose everything you have

>Its not level design.
But it is level design. The strongest point of Scholar of the First Sin are some of the DLC areas, mostly because they force you to push through with limited bonfires, and the areas connect back and forth with themselves, in a very similar fashion to DS1. So it's right that the level connections are good, but the level design also had thought put into it, instead of just leading you into some primal bonfire at the end of the level.

This was dumb but I'm also curious how the hell Aldia's Keep and Dragon Aerie fit together. You never move around to take a look at the area from a different point of view so it's impossible to visualize how anything works.

DaS3 and BBs individual level design didn't seem any worse than DaS1. How they connected sure.
But not the individual levels.

That always bugged me. I wish we could have been able to explore the lower parts of anor Londo just to see what the city was like for the commoners

There's a lot of really weird transitions in DaS2. Like how Heide's is right at sea level but you have to go through a series of underground tunnels to get to No Man's Wharf. Well doesn't that put No Man's Wharf below sea level?

Who built this and why?

...

Gwyndolin
Breasts Envy

gwyn built her to appease my dick

Gwyndolin because he knew no one in Anor Londo would follow him but they would follow Gwynevere since she's already beloved. Which is funny considering as soon as Gwyn was gone all of the gods jumped ship to wherever the fuck.

Gwynevere is for _______

Tricking guilible undeads

>Gwynevere in the dark, player in the light.
>This is the last time they spoke as friends.

Honestly I got right back on the lift to verify that it was indeed taking you up instead of down.

>There are two things that should've annoyed every single first time player. The transition from Earthen Peak to Iron Keep and getting walled from Castle Drangleic by a small pile of rubble.

Fuck now this bothers me way too much. What the hell is up with DaS2 world design?

Who destroyed these and why?

...

Why do these chumps whisk you over the to the other side and then are never seen again?

Shoulda been Gwyndolin laying there. Straight up show me some legs and tell me what to do. Chosen or not, I don't need a titty monster to con me into doing things.

That is a very good question. I hope there is an explanation, and it's not just pure fan service.

>legs
*snakes

>are never seen again
What, you fight them on the memer londo climb by the dozen.

Hush, knave! Lest you upset our fair lady!

As the picture implies I was referring to 3

But they don't go anywhere they sit there and wait for you in case you want to go back down or up.

That color scheme gave me eye cancer

search.wikileaks.org/gifiles/?viewemailid=1332210

I've never bothered to go back so I didn't know that.

Also there's a bonfire right there so why would you want to cross using them again?

>remember struggling with it so much when the game first came out
>each enemy was positioned in such an asshole way so that I'm always challenged to not fall down/not die from snake men who you can't maneuver around because of the architecture of the place/not get hit by the guillotines because of the weird ass angle of theirs
>now it's a 5 minute walk

they're shulva burial markers, you find them everywhere in the DLC

WHY the Rotten is building them, who the fuck knows

Locked his keys inside

why is everything so fucking black. Does it make it grimdark or some shit?

B Team basically slapped together the scraps from their first version of DS2.

There's also tons of other stuff that is retarded in hindsight like Heide Tower's transition to No Man's Wharf, Aldia's Keep's transition to Dragon Aerie, the fact that there's a small desert in Shaded Woods for no apparent reason except for the thought process scorpions=desert and Drangleic Castle's entire design is completely bananas.

I run around and explore so I back trot a lot

You can hide the graphical imperfactions better that way.

That's how I learned how to parry, by fighting those snek faggots at the entrance over and over.
