the music during the boss fight totally reminds me of final fantasy or kingdom hearts

what people haven't gathered either is, it's actually the bad ending to allow the maiden in black to lull the Demon back to it's slumber in Demon's Souls... not joking. It's the good ending to kill her ass! She's actually evil, and the whole game is deception.

@YoungBoiRhythM It depends on how you see it. This way you bring an end to the Age of Fire and start a new Age of Darkness, ruled by the pygmy's offspring (you, and the humans). So if you consider a natural world ruled my humans good, then it realy is a good ending. But if you prefer the world to stay like it was in Dark Souls, then the ending where you link the fire would be the good one

@YoungBoiRhythM The alternative is kinda fuzzy, if Gwyndolin lives and you choose To Link the Fire, then he (arguably) would rule. If all gods (save Gwynevere) have fallen, then likely no one or Gwynevere and Flann would rule. Dark Lord implies undead/humans rule so in a way it is all up to who your character would end up being in the end. Ruthless Dark Lord? or benevolent savior of mankind and undead-kin? Really because some bosses are optional, that is what determiens the ending.

@Exodurge Gwyn never took charge to lead mankind. Gwyn departed to link the fire and left his knights to shepherd mankind but as we saw, the knights split into two groups, one group followed Gwyn to the fire and others remained in Anor Londo. Humanity has always ruled itself which is why it has human kings such as the Knight King Rendal.

@Divinesunone Perhaps I wasn't that clear on what exactly I meant by them being similar, allow me to clarify for you what I meant. In Dark Soul's Gwyn and the others overthrew the Dragons with the help of a Dragon that turned against his own kind, and started the Age of Fire, then took charge to lead mankind. In Greek mythology Zeus and the other gods overthrew the Titans with the help of a Titan that turned against his own kind, started the Age of Gods and did the same thing, see what I mean?
-
@Exodurge No but Gwyn created the Age of Fire which allowed humans to exist. Just because the game has gods doesn't meant they are meant to parallel the Greek Pantheon of gods. Yeah, Gwyn has a similar attack which is similar to Zeus but none of the gods live on mountains. They lived in Lordran and most left.
-
@Divinesunone It's never clearly stated but the people who obtained the Lord Souls are considered the gods of the Dark Soul's lore and they were meant to parallel the Greek Pantheon as well. Just listen to the dialogue in game, many characters talk about Gywn like he was a god, and just because human's exist doesn't mean it was the Age of Man the entire game is like a reenactment of the Fall of the Greek Gods. And as I previously stated Gwyn didn't make it so that humans existed, the Pygmy did.

@dorkman135 After the end of the credits, you see your character being raped by Kaathe who laughs simultaneously while shouting that he lied to you. He then throws you back into the undead asylum. If you choose the link the fire ending, you see your character burning and then he/she wakes up in the undead asylum realizing that everything was a dream.
I joke of course.

@Exodurge The Age of Man already exists. Gods don't even rule the world of Dark Souls. They lived in Lordran which is why there were so many human kingdoms. It was the Age of Fire which brought about humans and the Age of Fire only started when Gwyn started it. The age before it was the Age of Ancients where humans didn't even exist. So if it wasn't for Gwyn, humans and other mortal creatures would never have came about.
Hey, what weapon were you using? Also, can you tell me your stats? It would kinda help me out. lol
