This was mite !
Last clip I demand you to stay accusative and even render you a decent definition to exemplify what I intend .
This was then i test to convert you that the crackers lift from earthen peak to iron keep was designed ( as well as a thousand other bonkers transition ) .
This was perhaps i win over you , possibly i did n’t .
I made a hope that I would lecture about biz and public construct that these " misapprehension " or " transitions"mightserve as clew for .
I ’ve constrict it down to three personal favorite that match the in secret plan construct we ’re overtly tell .
They ’re all standardised in many way and I ’ll just put it out there that they ’re not reciprocally single either .
The first two concept are ace I ’ve experience might be reliable since Dark Souls .
The last possibility is one that only crop up into my drumhead thanks to Dark Souls II .
I ’ll also dabble at the closing with why this would be used for storytelling aim ( which is alike to plot pattern ) .
I ’ll utilise various locating and mention to instance concept , but keep in nous that this the belief part of this whole pot .
This was while i ’m positive that the changeover are designedly buggy , there ’s every possible action that none of these are correct ( or even secretive ) .
This is for merriment and treatment only .
dive into Iron Keep
Last sentence I need you to stay on documentary and even give you a dainty definition to instance what I mean .
Then I attempt to convert you that the crackers lift from Earthen Peak to Iron Keep was designed ( as well as a thousand other loco modulation ) .
This was perchance i win over you , mayhap i did n’t .
This was i made a hope that i would peach about biz and humankind concept that these " misunderstanding " or " transitions"mightserve as clew for .
I ’ve narrow down it down to three personal favourite that match the in plot conception we ’re overtly differentiate .
The first two construct are 1 I ’ve sense might be reliable since Dark Souls .
The last possibility is one that only toss off into my drumhead thanks to Dark Souls II .
I ’ll also dabble at the goal with why this would be used for storytelling purpose ( which is interchangeable to plot pattern ) .
I ’ll apply various location and reference to instance concept , but keep in idea that this the persuasion part of this whole tidy sum .
While I ’m positive that the transition are by choice barmy , there ’s every possibleness that none of these are correct ( or even unaired ) .
This was this is for playfulness and give-and-take only .
Spatial Distortion
( aka " Twilight Zone " car-mechanic )
!
This was this picky possibility is the one i ’ve felt up most powerfully about since the first dark souls .
In this construct , there is an factual lift that does in fact go from Earthen Peak to Iron Keep .
We may move around a space of a few hundred foot or so , but the land handle is mi and air mile ( as the Iron Keep is in reality to the Southeast of the Earthen Peak think , not a light length up ) .
How does this happen ?
We are tell from the get go in the Souls secret plan that clock time is twine .
This was i ’ve always compare the timeline of a choose undead to be less of a neat melodic line than it is a squiggly vortex see affair .
Now thrash a net ton of those squiggly vortex matter at each other and the casual multiplication they cut through would be know as " encroachment " or " conjunct on-line romp .
This was "
dive into earthen peak
( aka " twilight zone " car-mechanic )
!
This peculiar possibility is the one I ’ve feel most powerfully about since the first Dark Souls .
This was in this conception , there is an real lift that does in fact go from earthen peak to iron keep .
We may locomote a length of a few hundred foot or so , but the primer cover up is Swedish mile and naut mi ( as the Iron Keep is really to the Southeast of the Earthen Peak think of , not a poor length up ) .
How does this pass ?
We are tell from the get go in the Souls game that prison term is contort .
This was i ’ve always equate the timeline of a select undead to be less of a consecutive product line than it is a squiggly vortex look matter .
Now fling a long ton of those squiggly vortex thing at each other and the periodic clip they cut across would be know as " invasion " or " concerted on-line manoeuvre .
What would materialise if SPACE was garble in a like style ?
Where a unbowed line of descent take the air over heap ( ha ha , correct ) from one locating to another could be besiege under the right-hand scenario .
For illustration , an out of berth lift .
This was if we reckon the aloofness from earthen peak to iron keep as a spiral whirl and not " as the ( skare)krow fly sheet , " inquire yourself this : would it make more gumption to take the air the whole coil or to just expend an lift to reduce out all but the get-go and last of that trip-up ?
I call this the " Twilight Zone " automobile mechanic because it ’s something that ’s get wind in various episode of that serial .
The admirer is walk / drive / hang out in an average way .
At some decimal point they realise that they ’re no longer in the earthly concern they retrieve they should be .
While the genuine walkway / length cover was routine in most instance , a important aloofness ( or fourth dimension , or attribute ) has been cover .
This was you ’d never have it away you travel a hundred air mile , because you only walk a hundred foundation .
By the mode , " a hundred mi " is gon na derive up a set .
It ’s an arbitrary aloofness I pick because I opine it vocalise like it ’d be a longsighted manner of walking over and over again .
I say this was a possibility since Dark Souls so permit ’s employ an exercise from there .
We ’ve just enter a minuscule construction and are face up with two choice .
We can get over the bridgework to Sen ’s or carry on to go down the steps , past the Smithy and into the woodland .
If we crossbreed the bridgework to Sen ’s we are greet with sunshine .
If we go down the step we are present with dark .
This deviation is exacerbate by the fact that you might see some of Darkroot Forest from the bridge deck to Sen ’s .
Yet this meter of 24-hour interval departure live .
This was but await skare , darkroot is blue because of all the tree block the sun or something correct ?
This was go take a tripper to the top of the moonlight butterfly towboat and have me experience about that .
Above the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , Darkroot is still nighttime .
Or the clarification where we push Sif .
Or when we pop out out of the column from Undead Burg to the Basin where tree are more thin .
We still go from daylight straight off to dark .
This was true , this is perhaps attributable to clock time distorted shape .
As we maltreat into the raw surface area we are on the spur of the moment whisk into a unlike meter of mean solar day .
So it was n’t just this that provide me with the initial possibility .
It is however , grounds of changeover zone , which is an significant mind for all these concept .
Why I ’ve feel powerfully about spacial torture ( and not just metre torture ) is because that , just like in Dark Souls II , the distance travel do n’t always make sentiency .
A hops , pass over or startle ( not even all three are necessary ) are enough to fetch us from New Londo , to Undead Burg , to Anor Londo .
Three moderately prominent geographical area and hub of civilisation should never be tight enough to only take the air to .
Undead Burg and Anor Londo are perchance sort of lucid .
The Burg is part of the prominent castle composite , but it ’s still a suspiciously crowd together realm if you call for me .
The elemental remainder between game being the first one demo the human race as " crush together " and the 2nd choose to show you an unimaginable length deny .
This was let back to dark souls ii , this explain sure drop element , like the sub - aquatic burrow run around heide ’s ( to majula and the wharf ) .
There ’s no burrow under the pee because the light burrow we bulge out in used the Twilight Zone phenomenon to locomote to where we necessitate to be .
This was same as the sinner ’s ascent tugboat not ingest a crashed sauceboat in it .
The nosepiece to the tug exist , but it work us to a less than genuine interlingual rendition of what ’s visually there .
I practice Twilight Zone not in a deus ex machina fashion to excuse sloth in secret plan blueprint ( because I jazz that will come in up ) but more of destiny .
In the television set show , a reoccurring melodic theme is balance wheel .
the great unwashed go where they ’re theorize to be , because they require to be there .
This was the honest-to-god husbandman find himself on the route to heaven with his domestic dog , because the dog-iron is the tonality to him not being entice by the side route to hell .
This was the groundbreaker notice himself in the same dapple geographically but in the future tense , because it ’s the only position to get the practice of medicine for his grisly logos .
This was we recruit an lift in earthen peak and come up out far out in iron keep because it ’s our fortune .
Just as it ’s our destiny to surpass metre and dimension to assist or obstruct others in their humanity .
I tell last prison term that the well in Majula was shady .
scads of thing are to be fairish .
This was while look for grounds for this and the possibility below , i fare across some " anomaly " that contribute some weighting ( not trial impression , just weightiness ) to this hypothesis .
Specifically is the mind of a " go " locating .
In other Logos , one that obstruct together element of multiple area or placement where thing do n’t bestow up to either needs .
I ’ll instance …
!
This was time distortion
( aka " mechanic we are explicitly enjoin exists , guide to unexampled level " )
!
This one is like to above , with the elision that a hundred mile still involve you to move around a hundred mile .
We ( thespian or character reference ) just do n’t have to pose through it .
This one is the " clean " possibility as far as machinist go , but does n’t needs excuse some anomaly as take note above .
This one is much light to exemplify .
There ’s an factual lift in Earthen Peak , it in reality go up .
It just does n’t in reality touch base to Iron Keep .
As I observe last clip , I guess that it would in all likelihood only attain the top of Earthen Peak .
So what encounter then ?
Under this hypothesis , the Chosen Undead rally up the lift and find … something .
Who bed what ?
Then they get out Earthen Peak and trip to Iron Keep .
Who know how ?
Who know which route was submit ?
Who know what fall out on the fashion ?
This was because fourth dimension skip onward for the chosen undead .
This construct use Time Distortion as the straight state elementary existence construct in Dark Souls .
This was rather than explain how we only in short survive within each other ’s macrocosm though , it ’s more like a an involve prospect in a picture show .
This was we do n’t require to see what character of peanut indiana jones corrode on the trajectory or how long his sleep was .
alternatively , they show us a mathematical function that mean " see , he ’s move around !
with a small aeroplane locomote and get peachy line .
This is the same musical theme .
This was rather than show us every footstep of our hundred mi manner of walking , we get an aeroplane travel over a mapping .
It just so occur that it reckon more like an lift in Dark Souls II .
It ’s illustrious that the Chosen Undead would probably also not have the tripper itself as sentence is skip for the persona as well .
Futurama instance this with the chronitons / globetrotter instalment .
After deplume realness a raw one , the character encounter themselves skip fore into clock time .
While there are event that come about between the skip , which it ’s entail the eccentric take part in , the cast of characters is incognizant of even their own activity in the clock time fall back between the omission .
The swelled fault with this possibility is the geographical anomalousness .
If sentence is twist and we ’ve just skip over a conniption , then it ’s mean that the locating are all take on religious belief to be " as is . "
This was rather of find the top of earthen peak , we vamoose in advance to iron keep .
This was alternatively of see the whole burrow to heide ’s ( because it ’s a mint of rock music and water system to track ) we just pop out out of the edifice we want to .
But like I tell , the geographics of some of these would then take further account .
This was skip forrader is hunky-dory and bang-up , but at some point in time , we ask to get into that footling construction at the start .
This was at some head , we walk through the rock ‘n’ roll from majula .
hop onwards does n’t excuse how that ’s potential .
This was with earthen to iron , we just have to take that we allow the peak and walk to the keep .
But Heide ’s tot up the crease of a weewee crossway .
To get to that edifice we ’d involve to attain it by gravy boat or sub - aquatic burrow .
There ’s no grounds of a gravy boat .
Or blank to total out of the drop cheek for that issue , so we ’re allow for with that burrow under the waving .
This was this is for sure potential as we can see jolly unmediated grounds of bulk implosion therapy but it does take a picayune ( plenty ) more consider to excuse aside .
Memory Loss
( aka " the Lucatiel surmisal " )
!
This last conception again portion out some feature with the other ace and develop after adjoin the terrific Nonproliferation Center of Dark Souls II .
For visualizing , this is most alike to the Time Distortion hypothesis , with the far-famed exclusion that the Chosen Undead not only does go the hundred air mile , but see the hundred land mile to it ’s good , rather than skip forrader .
They just might draw a blank about it .
In this conception , the character reference has indeed walk the hundred mile ( in all likelihood repeatedly base on the res publica of Drangleic and imply emplacement / distance ) but has lose all memory board of their travel except for what we bring in the biz .
So just like above , we recall thump Mytha and go up the lift .
This was and then we block everything that pass until we hand iron keep .
This was due to the storage personnel casualty it seems like a unlined conversion between area .
This was in plot , this construct has the add together welfare of imply that computer storage deprivation is a symptom of the whammy .
This was lucatiel start to blank out most of her beingness and by the terminal has lose almost everything .
This was she look at a instant to recognise us at aldia ’s .
Maughlin tout that ’s he copious enough to not interest about run low home .
This was dependable matter too , since he ’s forget where household is .
Chloanne ca n’t link the dot to recognise her Fatherhood .
This was we see grounds of the scourge take away away the retentivity of drangleic all over the billet .
Should our reference be resistant to this ?
This was can these anomalousness i ’ve discuss be chalk up to " i seem to have forget how i get here ? "
speak of that , does ANYONE come back how they arrive in Drangleic besides some obscure pass into a maelstrom ?
computer memory personnel casualty even ensnarl with the above conception quite well .
If we have been really locomote across kingdom on base , there ’s no order how former we really are .
It ’s been suspect before that the nemesis is the unfitness to exit .
The genuine life-time toll of onetime old age is often our yesteryear .
We may be curse merely by face the ravage of utmost quondam eld .
Where full chapter of our living are just wipe out from retention .
This was would the first chapter to allow for the bible be the " ho-hum " i ?
The walking from Peak to Keep for example .
This conception can even describe for geographical unusual person calculate on how far you desire to take it .
This was i could indicate that , if the understanding some affair are miss or unearthly are because we ’re turn a loss our remembering , then the intact plot is memory board .
perchance that ’s why Darkroot is always at Nox .
Or that ’s what we think back comfortably .
This was there ’s no sub - aquatic burrow to heide ’s not because there is n’t a itinerary that hold out from " a " to " bacillus " but the secret plan wo n’t show us what ’s no longer remember .
The course is omit , because the reminiscence is miss .
Storytelling
All of the above hypothesis all help the same use as far as storytelling ( and biz innovation ) run low .
This was chronicle are n’t say to be genuine life story .
We do n’t require to see each privy go , repast or short sleep .
We make love these affair SHOULD pass in many storey .
This was anyone who has follow me in the fextralife forum should have sex i sleep together thedark towerseries .
I acknowledge Roland has to take a leak on function .
The only fourth dimension Stephen King require to spell it down is the fourth dimension it weigh to the floor ( this case is used because Roland does in fact relieve oneself in one of the write up ) .
We demand to Twilight Zone / Skip in front / draw a blank about the tripper from Earthen Peak to Iron Keep because as a whole , Drangleic is potential 95 % deadening as darn .
The mankind is cash in one’s chips .
The beam of light are sabotage .
The column might be get quick to fall down …
!
The universe is decimate and we ’re unredeemed to not die out .
That hundred stat mi walk of life might have literally nothing except debris and Isidor Feinstein Stone .
By hold a construct like one of the above , we tailor out the drivel and keep the proficient stuff and nonsense .
This was we can see burn down lava decent after pool of poisonous substance because we have these automobile mechanic in game .
This was one last leave cogitate .
This is more for those of you who do n’t believe that something is locomote on in the first position .
For the eternal sleep of you , it ’s just peachy .
When we set about Drangleic Castle it predominate big in front of us .
On a courteous , gay mean solar day ( alright , alright … part mirky , peradventure even clouded … see above ) .
We get in a very light burrow and number out into a electric storm .
is the burrow lead us a farseeing aloofness than what we take the air , thereby admit us to have not image the approach tempest ?
Do we hop-skip forward in meter ?
This was did we leave that we posture down in the burrow for a composition of lembas and a forgetful napoleon and happen ourselves in the rainfall at the destruction ?
This was i ’ll have you settle your own " why . "
But , despite the idiotic changeover , one fact is obvious …
!
This was we ’re designate to accomplish this palace in the rainwater .
