Blue Knight's Halberd Halberd of Targray, Knight of the Blue. A fitting weapon for a shepherd of lost souls Those who put faith in an absolute good also believe in the existence of true evil. But to others, the distinction between the two can be quite unclear.

Order Healing One of the incantations of the Golden Order fundamentalists. Used by hunters of Those Who Live in Death. The noble Goldmask lamented what had become of the hunters. How easy it is for learning and learnedness to be reduced to the ravings of fanatics; all the good and the great wanted, in their foolishness, was an absolute evil to contend with. Does such a notion exist in the fundamentals of Order?

Man, but the thing that I find super curious is that, like...

The descriptions for the Blue Knight's Halberd(Dark Souls II) and Order Healing(Elden Ring) are super close to one another, in referencing the whole "faith in an absolute good and the existence of a true evil."

And then you take a moment to look at the plot twists introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree, and how certain people in the fandom respond to those plot twists...

There's still a good chunk of people that view Mohg as this horrible monster that's like the ultimate evil - without getting into whether this is based off of preference or perception - where's Miquella is still seen as a force of absolute good - again, without getting into whether this is based off of preference or perception.

And, I've said it before, but I'll say it again: there is a certain irony in how the DLC introduced these two characters(Ansbach and Leda), both serving as a sort of representative to the ones whom they've pledged loyalty to(Ansbach for Mohg; Leda for Miquella).

And... At least from my observation, Ansbach's the one that's gotten the most scrutiny for having formerly been in service to Mohg, and then reaffirming his loyalty to Mohg after learning about what Miquella had in store for Mohg, and what he intends to do to Mohg's body.

Over the course of two years, a good chunk of people put faith in Miquella under the notion that, of the demigods, he was an absolute good among them; and Mohg, of course, was branded as the ultimate evil, for being the figurehead of a Blood Cult, an adherent to the Formless Mother, and for being the one to have abducted Miquella from the Haligtree.

Now, with Shadow of the Erdtree released, even after we've received confirmation that yes, Mohg WAS bewitched by Miquella, people still hold onto that faith that Miquella is this force of ultimate good. And those same people still hold onto the notion that Mohg, likewise, was the ultimate evil. He got what he deserved, and Ansbach is biased for trying to avenge his former master.

And look, I had a server where people could air out the things that frustrated them with the DLC. Whether it be for Mohg sympathizers or Miquella believers. Take it from someone who witnessed firsthand that a lot of hostility came from the Miquella believers. When I had made a note of wanting things to be kept civil within the server, they still drove people away.

Which, again, is kind of funny because it still mirrors some of the items associated with Needle Knight Leda(just substitute killing her fellow comrades as more driving certain people away from a server).

Leda's Armor Chest armor of Needle Knight Leda. Slightly strengthens attacks following a dodge roll or backstep, as well as dash attacks. Embroidered with a golden crossed-tree motif, the chalk white cloak and surcoat symbolize the honor of the Needle Knights. "Kindly Miquella fashioned us as his needles to quell all, to ward away all."

Lacerating Crossed-Tree Handicraft depicting a golden crossed-tree. One of the items conferred to the Needle Knights. Enhances dash attacks. Long ago, the Needle Knights were in service of Miquella, but now they are no more. Save for one.

"I can’t fathom your convictions. After knowing Kindly Miquella, what remains to pledge to your Lord of Blood?"

It's the exact same feud as what goes between Ansbach and Leda... And it's the exact same thing that was mentioned in the descriptions for Order Healing, and the Blue Knight's Halberd.

Those who put faith in an absolute good also believe in the existence of true evil. But to others, the distinction between the two can be quite unclear.

*happy autistic noises*

Found a dump of some nice Dark Souls 2 close ups ( x ) on Japanese page! And they are in neutral lighting FINALLY!! Guys check the page it is great

Chloanne with really nice green eyes

Creighton is one of those characters who were modelled with the helmet on so no face, but his eyes are less blue than I thought! Greenish-grey, actually!

Benhart

Cale has Lady Maria's eye color, apparently xD

Okay I know close-up of Lucatiel is actually something widely seen since she is very loved, but let's look at her again fdsfsd God, I love how elaborate her eyelashes are. Pretty woman

McDuff

I like how Targray's eyes are SO blue when he is a Blue Sentinel.. like, yeah, man, we can tell fsdhfghdsfd

^^^ By Moonlight Ruin ( x ) Also modelled with helmet on, so no hairstyle

Milfanito that was trapped behind cell with Embedded has eyes open, and they're very purple

And the Milfanito found before Demon of the Song has cool red dots as her pupils! Damn iirc someone in DS1 fandom draws human Manus with eyes just like this? What a coincidence because I swear she is the only example of this in the trilogy, and it is sooooo well hidden!

I was 1000% sure Rosabeth had dark brown eyes, but turns out they're actually emerald? Well, actually black with specks of emerald in the middle! Super cool!

So I JUST found out that Carhillion normally has his eyes shut, because the first close view of him I saw was with eyes:

^^^ This image is by Moonlight Ruin on Xitter ( x ). But yeah, this particular page missed out on his eyes. They're blue!

This dataminer didn't include the version of Straid without the mask, so time for Moonlight Ruin's tweet ( x ) again:

These are really strange eyes xD But confirmation on short hair!

Petrus at home Licia

Felkin. Girl these are some big eyebrows

Also a few from actual Twitter from Moonlight Ruin ( x )

Vendrick

Bell Keeper

Navlaan (nobody needed to see it but have it anyways)

Pate. He is shaved.

Okay now back to that Japanese blogger from the start but with another two pages ( x ) ( x ) These pages reveal how all the NPCs like invaders and summons and so that use player data share the same exact 7 preset faces! @val-of-the-north made a post about it already ( x ) so honestly, neglect all these fuckers unless their face is legit visible! So here are just points of interest:

Pate's brown eyes

Magerold

Maughlin

Cromwell (yet another bald wife xd)

Drummond

Grandal

Melentia! Didn't think she also had unique face!

Okay I've hit 30 images per post limit so I'll post a few more images in a reblog, one second

I killed Blue Sentinel Targray. I wanted his polearm, and I was expecting a cool fight, but he didn't fight back.Instead of a heart pounding duel it wound up being cold-blooded murder.

Targray used to be a Warrior of Sunlight, but after seeing countless hollows invaded and assassinated by dark spirits without being able to call for aid, he could take no more, and left to form the Blue Sentinels.

Solaire's blessing is given to the selfless Undead who assist others - yet, even the most devoted seem dim in comparison to Targray's.

[incorrect-fromsoftware-quotes]

Targray: Alright Mild-Mannered, I don’t like you and you don’t like me.

Pate: I like you

Targray: Um, alright. You like me but I don’t like you.

Pate: Maybe you’d like me if you got to know me.

Made this AU (seriously I think my purpose in this fandom is to visualize What If? Scenarios) after drawing my other, parody WIP.

Basically in this AU, the First Flame endures and when NK does eventually rebel against Daddy Gwyn, he actually succeeds because without the First Flame’s fading limiting Gwyn’s ambitions, Gwyn became much more tyrannical and thus giving Nameless a better motif for rebellion. Also thanks to Gwyn, Nameless is in a political marriage with one of the Witch of Izalith’s daughters, in this case Quelana, (the logic (from Gwyn’s POV) is that the combination of the Mother of Pyromancy and the Heir to the Lightning would produce powerful heirs)... Which promptly bit Gwyn in the ass. Quelana is big now, because time has given her the gift of exploring the nature of fire magic, and as a result of her new-found influence, she’s a LOT more powerful.

Ornstein remains loyal to the firstborn and is totes buddies with the King of the Storm. Ironic eh? And c’mon, we need to give Ornstein a break, his story in canon is already too tragic. Here, the Warriors of Sunlight are basically the main human armed forces within his realm. Their main advantage is the power of Jolly Cooperation on a large scale.

Gwyndolin meanwhile’s finally gets the chance to make a realm for himself. Called the Sunless realms, his land is a haven for sorcerers everywhere and those who embrace aspects of the moon instead of the sun (no offense to his big brother). Just like his bro gets the Warriors of Sunlight as his army corp, Gwyndolin gets the Blades of the Darkmoon, Targray’s Blue Sentinels and the Way of White (sorry Lloyd).

Felicia and Bellclaire knew each other?

WAKE UP GIRL NEW DARK SOULS YURI DROPPED ok ok ok one second let me elaborate hfhhvbhnf

So, basically, their summon locations are connected; one of them they are sharing (Lost Bastille), and their other ones (Amana for Felicia and Drangleic Castle for Bellclaire) are connected throgh their items lore!

Bellclaire is one of the Hollowed Mages from Tseldora, this robe is otherwise exclusively worn by the dudes who kept shooting you near the sand pit lmao. And it is further confirmed by the fact one of her spells is Crystal Soul Spear, a spell that can be created in NG+ from the Soul of Paledrake (Seath) and lorewise originating from Seath.. who kinda possessed the Duke of Tseldora to become cringe so it only makes more sense!

Her other set pieces are Rogue Leggins (clothes of Hollowed thiefs), Lion Warrior Helm (makes sense she put it on, Lion Warriors would be on her way upon leaving Tseldora) and Creighton's Chain Glowes (assume just Mirrah stuff, but this particular one should be ignored I think, feels same as Sceptical Old Man wearing Gehrman's pants aka just aesthetic item)! I think the robe should be THE focus here, all things considered

^^^ Another thing about her is that she has this Chime, but doesn't use a single Miracle, nor even has it just unused in her data! This coincides with how Vendrick kept clerics just for ceremonial purposes and not for actually doing the cleric stuff, and Tseldora was in service of Vendrick as part of Drangleic, so that further points Bellclaire towards just being in his service 🤔

Possibly, she went on her pilgrimage after becoming cursed, rather than staying back and waiting for the curse to take its toll like fellow mages, but wasn't able to run far enough; her summon sign in Lost Bastille is in the cell (with broken bars), seems like she was captured and imprisoned.

Another thing is.. she is not a Hollow! I know the invaders and summons in Dark Souls 2 use like the same 7 preset faces, but there IS a data for Hollow character (annoying three characters fought in Shulva as bosses use it for example)! The thing is, her weapon is Staff of Amana, a weapon that has nothing to do with Drangleic/Vendrick/Tseldora/etc!

But you know what IS interesting about Amana? Right, it has an Altar with a Milfanito at it that allows to restore humanity even without a Human Effigy! It exists for this purpose, and it is possible that THIS is how Bellclaire healed from Hollowing! This staff might have been something she picked on her way! Though this particular staff also scales when you are a human and gives penalty when you are Hollow, so maybe it gives her additional motivation to hold onto her humanity!

At the same time, Felicia's summon signs are in Amana and in Lost Bastille, not far away from Bellclaire but outside of jail cells! Okay, so about her now:

She is wearing a Knight Set (all pieces have the same description), and appears that she is not an Undead since she seeks "official" Knightship in Drangleic!

I need to also clarify about her shield, because it is actually a mistake; the descriptions of Greatshield of Glory and Tower Shield are clearly mixed upon development and it was never corrected:

You can clearly see it is a mistake as the Knights serving Vendrick, who are modeled after his knight Syan, use this shield too:

Her weapon is also Heide Greatlance! (Sorry I don't have a screenshot copied) So, she has a Heide Greatlance, but also a shield she uses is found IN Heide after Old Dragonslayer battle near Targray (the Blue Sentinels guy), and the set she uses is found in the path that connects Heide and No-Man's Wharf!

Note I don't necessarily take it as her dying around, especially with how in Dark Souls 2 every other NPC just conveniently has exact replica of their set and weapon to reward the player with XD (looking at YOU, Elden CRING killing Ansbach and Thiollier to give us their sets!!!). Just more like telling the story through items locations and environment. So, perhaps she tried to become a Blue Sentinel in her pursuit for knightship, but failed.... or maybe, rather, got sidetracked!

No-Man's Wharf got under control of Vendrick, and now they are the ones responsible for capturing Undead and sending them into Lost Bastille! So how about this idea: Felicia found, maybe by accident, path to No-Man's Wharf and by effect the Lost Bastille, and was NOT having what she found out there! If we assume she wanted to join Blue Sentinels, she must have had strong sense of justice or wish to help people.. and, well, Undeads captured and locked away is not nice. Her title is also literally Felicia the Brave, she would not sympathize with peoples fear of the Undead much if at all! Especially since even becoming Hollow doesn't automatically mean being a danger to society, across the trilogy we meet some characters who are Hollow but harmless and even still having their wits and memories, just weird at worst!

So, Felicia was the one to crash Bellclaire's cell open to free her, and accompanied her into Amana to seek restoration of her humanity since Felicia has a summon sign in Amana and Bellclaire has the Staff of Amana and isn't Hollow despite she should be!!! She was not giving up the hope for Undeads and encouraged her to seek help, seeing she yet had wits and deserved a chance instead of rotting in the jailcell! Maybe not even just Bellclaire? Maybe Felicia released every imprisoned Undead that was not yet completely beyond help and put them in the boat away from here, believing they could be helped. There is hope for the Undead (The Pursuer disapproves of THE naivety and optimism sooooOOOO hard lol).

I just think this is so nice tbh hfhruybf. Though Bellclaire is a summon in Drangleic Castle too. I wonder if Hollowing did erode some of her memories still, and she was looking for familiarity like Lucatiel ;-; Or Millicent in ER, actually. Though Felicia might have been looking for Drangleic Castle too because of the Greatshield of Glory, as true knight calling.... until she didn't. Or could have picked a fight with people there? In either case, hers and Bellclaire's paths might cross even beyond their shared adventure (that has no business being as cute as it is)

I also wonder if Targray still wonders where did she go. Maybe worries about her since she isn't an Undead; if she dies then she DIES. He doesn't know she simply has 5 seconds timespan gdhtjhgjh XD

_________________

P.S.: AKTYALY Bellclaire is one of those Fromsoft's trademark GNC characters! The thing is, she is wearing a MALE robe; female variant of this clothing is black!

^^^ White (male)

^^^ Black (female). @val-of-the-north Iirc Dark Souls 2 also has a male character wearing the black variant, right? Based and valid tbh. Common Dark Souls 2 W

P.P.S.: Literally no one asked about this but have this too anyways I g:
