Humanity

He killed himself in a group suicide with his students to get there, probably the stupidest way when he could have just taken the blood contract to get use of the lanterns and warp there. Fun fact, his students (except for one) arn't there because once realizing that the hell Micolash talked them into going to wasn't sunshine and roses, they constructed a ritual to resurrect themselves. they fucked it and became that mess you fight right before finding Micolash's body surrounded by his students.

>Once, the Lord of Light banished Dark, and all that stemmed from Humanity. And men assumed a fleeting form

>Getting rid of Dark made humans stop being Hollow
>Using Humanity, which is Dark, makes humans stop being Hollow
I still don't get it

Today was my 25th birthday and, among other things, I'm preparing a youtube channel on which I'll discuss, among other things, an esoteric and occult interpretation of Dark Souls.

Humanity is, in short, "the ability to choose darkness".
All of the three major gods are beings of the flame, and they can only pursue fire. Gwyn resisted the course of nature, for he can't step outside his domain.
Mankind, instead, has a fragment of the dark soul. The black dot in the white drop in the tin-yang symbol. Look at your pic, OP: it's darkness surrounded by light. Humans have both in them, and can go either way.
You can either link the flame, or let the fire fade.
Humanity is free will.

fragments of the dark soul

Salty milk and coins.

>we'll never get a game with lore as well-written as dark souls ever again
what went wrong?

An element unique to the dark souls series imbedded into every human being capable of replicating without loosing power thus often ending up in other kind of monsters
Every human has it, every human can loose it

Good post, user. Bless you.

Also, I forgot to say happy birthday, or as we say in Italy - buon compleanno.

You interact with his corpse to enter the nightmare.

From the last dark souls thread

Drive, motivation, resolve, the will to go on, etc. Dark Souls is an absurdist gem about persevering in a harsh, pointless reality where the end result is ultimately the same. You're already dead, but you haven't gone hollow because you haven't given up yet.
The Darksign is the power button to your game console

>too afraid to have his games disliked, let alone analyzed
lmao keep spewing meaningless contrarian shit, brainlet

I will, continue seething like I told you to boy

But what’s the gameplay use? It doesn’t stop you hollowing and your character stays sane without it.

On the matter of Hollowing: I'll add that, form a metagameplay perspective, it's "the act of ragequitting". NPCs give up the fight because the world is too harsh, just like the player gives up the game because it is too hard. You can come back to the game and boot it again, but while you've been away you should imagine your character hollowed and crestfallen.
In narrative, the special power of the Chosen Undead is to always retain his sanity, because he is controlled by a supernatural entity -the player. Just like the gods possessed the "berserkers", bringing them to a death-defying trance.
On an esoteric level -what does a human do when he goes hollow? He loses his ability to choose.

Grazie!
"June24th" shall be the name of the channel.
"Esoteric analysis of Dark Souls" or "What is Humanity" shall probably the title of the first video.
Look for it in a couple of months.
And good night!

Didn't you say you were leaving the thread? Frogposters are so pathetic.

>that spoiler
interesting take

Literally said in the post 'it doesn't have a gameplay use'

Its for lorefags

Pff

How does the Darklurker fit into the lore?

Oh fuck I read that as “not just a gameplay use”

>taking the bait

Wasn't even the one you were arguing with, dipshit. Just pointing out how pathetic you are.

>the mere mention of souls makes him seethe enough to post
>keeps posting despite having no argument to continue, therefore fueled purely by butthurt
Now THATS seething

He's probably the autist from last thread

In the intro the four special guys get Lord Souls from the flame. Gwyn got the Light Soul, the witch Life, and Nito Death. The furtive pygmy got Dark, and he became the ancestor of mankind.

So humanities are fagments of the Dark Soul that define man. It's the same icon/image as the boss souls you get but black. The game is called "Dark Souls" because Humanities are literally Dark Souls, and you use them to play online, which is the big hook of the game.

Prego and good night, user. Looking forward to the videos, hope you do end up making them and don't give up! I'm very interested in western esotericism as of late, mostly gnosticism related stuff as it resonates with me a lot, and I'm a huge fan of every single FromSoft game from Demon's Souls to Bloodborne (this game is basically OVERFLOWING with gnostic elements), yes that includes DS2, so... hope you deliver!

Think about it, other than being visually similar to the classic ring of light, in a gameplay sense it perfectly mirrors quitting the game. You could just die, respawn, and have a chance at redemption. Or, in the midst of all the action, you can decide it's all too much and throw everything away and make the time you spent truly meaningless.
