#ASHES OF ARIANDEL SPOTTED IN THE WILD

[fiddles-ifs]

I just imagine Fury going full Mechagodzilla 3/Kiryu from Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla and Tokyo S.O.S (Japan has alot of Kaiju movies) when Kiryu went berserk because they had a flashback of Riders final moments.

Backstory for Kiryu aka Mechagodzilla 3 Millennium Era :

This version of Mechagodzilla was made by the GDF The Godzilla Defense Force using the bones of the original Godzilla which was killed using the oxygen destroyer.

during the test trial Mechagodzilla went berserk the moment it saw Godzilla it had a flashblack of when it was killed by the oxygen destroyer and went on a rampage destroying multiple buildings before shutting down due to running out of power.

You may be wondering where's Mechagozilla 1 and 2 for those who dont watch kaiju/monster movies:

Mechagodzilla 1 the original and 2 Showa Era:

Its was made by aliens....it was made by fucking aliens.

They came in with Mechagodzilla disguised as Godzilla to invade Japan until the real Godzilla showed up. long story short it got destroyed after Godzilla turned himself into a fucking magnet and ripped its head off (don't question it)

After it got destroyed they rebuilt it and got another monster which was sleeping at the bottom of the ocean for help. during the battle its head got ripped off but instead of being out off commission they learnt from last time and it had a secondary head.

they thought a human interface was a good idea when rebuilding it and they didnt account the human interface would kill itself to stop them, Mechagodzilla became a sitting duck and got blown the fuck up again.

Mechagodzilla/Super Mechagodzilla Heisei Era:

This one was made by the GDF using technology scavenged from Mechakinghidorah (after it pulled a whole if i'm dying your coming with me and dunked itself with Godzilla into the ocean) to combat Godzilla and finally put a stop to Godzilla destroying Japan (every single fucking month like goddamn it would be fucking annoying having to rebuild half the fucking city every month because a giant lizard had a temper tantrum for humans being fucking idiots)

First battle: Godzilla turns into a Power outlet and Mechagodzilla puts a fork into it killing itself and having to get flown back to base for repairs.

Second battle and Final battle: Mechagodzilla gets double teamed by a giant fucking pterodactyl (Rodan) and Godzilla before it decides to cheat and put the Ghostbusters proton pack on and start blasting.

It pulls out its taser fork again and shoots it into Godzilla again and this time it turns Godzilla into another victim of the "american health system" (got crippled and cant pay the hospitalbill) until Rodan pulls some Darksouls 3 Father Ariendal Sister Friede type bullshit and activities the boss second phase.

And Godzilla proceeds to turn into a proton pack and cross streams with Mechagodzilla before it get overwhelmed and forgets what a proton stream does to a Robot before it gets blown the fuck up.

(Sorry for the rant im a nerd when it comes to giant robots and monsters.)

This is awesome but I'm keeping it real with you I saw a Dark Souls 3 reference and got so excited I threw up in my mouth a little and couldn't think of anything else.

[ember-amber]

I wonder how early game the dlc is gonna be.

The **one** image we have makes me think the entrace is gonna be in Altus, but considering it's the first one of this game it's possible that it will be in Liurnia or even Limgrave.

I know it will not be in a place of immense significance to the dlc plot.

Artorias of the Abyss' entrance was in dark root garden, a hole in reality in an isolated spot on the lake. Despite being first and only one dlc for that game, the key is acquired in mid to late game, I think they abandoned for later games.

Crown of the Sunken King is entered by a portal in that room after The Rotten. Early to mid game, key is gotten imediately

Old Hunters just has you getting grabbed by an amygdala that was already there previously. Early to mid game, key is only acquired after Amelia.

And ashes of Ariandel just has Gael moaning and praying in a Chapel holding a piece of the painting, no key.

If I were to take a wild guess I would say that the dlc is outside Leyndell. That statue in Altus is a nice idea, but I think it's too out of the way and too easy a guess.

I am imagining an NPC standing close to that first grace inside leyndell's outer walls, by the map fragment. That spot is like a funnel, every player goes through there
