Make your own Dark Souls NPC/ Weapon/ Item/ Boss!

Animaaal wrote:^lol. I thought it was fine considering its make believe.

I love it Renegade. Very well thought out...what else does the SoD do?

You have no idea how long I spent on the "small details".
Res, I know it isn't really Dark Souls, it was just an idea, it doesn't matter much.

The SoD works in the case that, down to it's core, if you continue to use it on things that may be classified as "non-evil", such as friendly NPC's, your strength will go down bit by bit, and your faith decreases. By moral degradation, I meant it in the way your character could lose their "faith" in things (see where I'm going? ) If you use it on "evil" beings, such as average mobs, it will grow stronger. It would be helpful for more PvE oriented players, IMO.

Or, if you didn't mean it that way, I was thinking, maybe add a sort of Soul Spear projectile that could be fired out of the magical tip at around 50 faith, when it had been used on a lot of "evil" things, it could be capable of firing a Soul Spear out of the tip, at the cost of durability, and the weapon is extremely costly to repair.

given by an NPC called blaze, with blood red hair and ashen white skin, he tells you about his time as a fire-keeper, after several seemingly pointless dialogues he entrusts you with his longsword, with basic damage and the exact same scaling you wonder why he gave it too you, you talk to him some more and he tells you of his fondness for that sword he entrusted to you, he then goes on to explain that he no longer has the strength to wield it, nor the will to kill again.

if the player is curious to test it out at base stats you would find it has a slightly faster swing speed, not enough to cause unlimited stun-lock but enough to notice that it is different. upgrading it to +5 will change the description too "the blade of an elderly man, given by the fire"

talking to him again will provide you with yet another story, telling of more of his battles with people threatening his bond-fire. he then asks the player about his sword, asking to inspect it. if you answer no he says " a shame, but a person can bond with his sword...." however if you answer yes he gets excited and exclaims "my old friend, How did you get her to look like that, AMAZING" then returns it.

upon getting it to +10 the description changes too "a sword once owned by an important man, now in the hands of an unknown swordsman."

returning to blaze instead of a bonfire you now find a gravestone, talking to him will make his say "i am old, and withered, my life is no longer within my hands, i must pass the torch to another and i pray that you are able to figure out what to do with the tools i have given you"
here you can interact by attacking the gravestone with a 1HR2 attack placing the sword in the grave blaze then lets a soft chuckle and says "nothing is ever that easy"

upon getting the sword to +14 the description changes too "flames reside within this blade, let them guide the wielder to the right choices"

now here is the choice, if you go strait to +15 you get nothing special, a slightly faster swing speeded sword with no real benefit. but if they go back to where blaze is, they will find his body, with a special fire-keepers souls, called "the fire-keepers flame"

if taken to Vamos he will talk about the property's of souls with you, rare considering how much Vamos talks, and asks to look at the ember. he requests a weapon and being considerate to the man you give him his sword. this then cuts to a curt-seen where he is summoned through is souls, he says his goodbys and thanks you for your sacrifice.

the sword is now the Blade of bonfire. its description is changed too "the father of firekeeprs sword bound with his soul, given to who may be his dearest friend" the sword scales with your highest stat at S but dose pure fire damage it however will not scale with either Vit OR End.

if you ever approach vamos with the sword he will state "it always effects me, seeing the soul of a friend" never explaining how he knew blaze, nor ever giving any hints as to who he was.

it has range similar to that of the BSS and a low stamina cost. the 1HR2 is a small boly of fire that has no cost at all to the swords durability (400) however the 2HR2 is an AOE like that of WOG but a better animation and drains 25 durability.

That sounds like a great weapon and side quest

Tanklord wrote:How about a Boss in Darkroot basin?

Undead Ape Demon

This would be a terrifying gargantuan decomposing gorilla with two sets of jaws, one underneath the other. His attack set would be as follows...
A powerful Running Charge attack.
A Pouncing attack followed up by a flurry of wild punches.
A double axehandle combo.
A backwards Bronco kick.
An attack where he grabs you and chews you with one jaw, slowly draining your energy bar followed by a giant "chomp" with the second jaw taking a huge chunk of your energy and causing "Toxic" status.

Also as you attack him he will shed pieces of decomposing flesh. Stepping into the lumps of rotten flesh will cause "Poison" status so they are best avoided.

The Undead Gorilla Demon would be resistant to Poison attacks but would be weak to fire.

Tanklord wrote:Alternatively

Boss weapon: Mandible Scythe
Weapon Type: Halberd
Attack Type:Slash
Weight: 8.0
Durability: 120

Description: This is a grotesque double bladed scythe created from the two interlinking jawbones of the Undead Ape Demon, each jaw acting as a "blade". The putrid rotting flesh that still clings to the jaws emits a foul smelling green gas, causing the unfortunate victim on the receiving end of this hideous weapon to become toxified.

Created by combining the Soul of Undead Ape Demon with a +10 Great Scythe. The weapon would have B strength and D dex scaling and is upgraded with Demon titanite. It would cause Toxic build up of 40 for each strike. The Two Handed R2 attack is a slam attack where your opponent gets caught between the "jaws" of the Scythe and is "chewed" by the scythe for 4 seconds causing Toxic build up.

The Rotten Forest area sounds fantastic, it could make a brill DLC section to tide us over until Dark Souls 2 comes out. The cutscene for the Gorilla could be as follows....

You enter the fog gate and in front of you there is a Giant Stone Guardian, bigger than the regular ones. You think this is going to be the boss you face but then you hear a rumbling noise (your controller's vibration effect kicks in) and a hideous bellow sound. All of a sudden the Gorilla jumps out from a thicket of trees and crushes the Stone Guardian. The Gorilla looks at you with his two jaws salivating rotted pus and he then lets out another horrific bellow whilst beating his chest, indicating the start of the battle.

Tanklord wrote:Sen's Fortress Dungeon: A sealed section of the Fortress that can only be accessed by defeating all the titanite Demons at the bottom of the fortress. By doing this you get a cutscene where the water disappears and you see a lever which opens a sealed section of the wall. When you step into this sealed section you step into a cage lift that takes you all the way down to the Dungeon area.
The Dungeon will contain more powerful versions of the Manserpents and will also contain a set of unique Serpentskin armor which has good resistance to bleed. The armor will be guarded by two Smaller versions of the Asylum Demon. There will be lots of annoying torch hollows in this area also as well as stronger versions of the Psicattas from the Duke's Archive dungeons.

Boss: Muskella Miskella and The Devourer

An evil mad magician and a monstrosity that have been sealed in the dungeon for years.
When you enter the fog gate you are greeted to a cutscene where you see Muskella Miskella, a short, squat ugly little man with a sick grin on his face. He is wearing a set similar to Chester's but with an absurdly large top hat and is armed with a strange glowing crossbow. He hops up to a platform and pulls a lever which opens a giant gate. The sound of bellowing ensues and out of the gate comes a gigantic Neanderthal like humanoid with one giant pointed tooth jutting from his lower jaw and a similar tooth coming down from his upper jaw. He is armed with a huge club which has a giant crystal boulder lashed onto the end of it. Muskella Miskella then hops down onto the shoulder of the devourer and gives a rather annoying laugh.

The fight starts and the player needs to contend with The Devourer's devastating crazed club attacks as well as Muskella Miskella's crossbow which shoots magic homing bolts. The Devourer can also grab the player and chew him causing massive bleed build up. Miskella hops off of the Devourer's shoulder from time to time to deliver swift attacks using a long, thin dagger which causes curse build up.
Killing Muskella Miskella first triggers a cutscene where The Devourer "devours" Miskella's body and becomes charged with Magic. He also goes even more vicious, powerful and crazy. This time his club causes a magic AoE attack similar to that of the Moonlight Greatsword.
Killing The Devourer first triggers a cutscene where you see Miskella geting really angry. He becomes much more agile, hopping around the place and he steps up the crossbow and dagger attacks which much greater frequency.

Upgrading a +10 piercing sword with The Devourer's soul creates a unique sword called "Devourer Tooth" which is dex based and causes bleed. Upgrading a +10 Great Club with the souls creates the Devourer's Club in which the crystal on top of it can be charged with any weapon buff. The two-handed R2 attack is a normal slam when the weapon is uncharged. When the weapon is charged with a buff however it creates an AoE attack according to the buff used.

Upgrading a +10 dagger with Muskella Miskella's soul creates the B@stard Dirk. This is a particularly evil weapon which causes Curse build up. It would certainly attract a lot of hatemail among PvP circles. Upgrading a +10 Light crossbow with the soul creates the B@stard Ballista which fires homing magic bolts that can be purchased from Rickert of Vinheim.
Muskella Miskella's set can also be purchased from Domhnall of Zena.

Tanklord wrote:Interesting, especially the goat-legged pigs. Creepy!!

I forgot to mention that the Dungeon of Sen's fortress would also contain several traps, the worst one just before the entrance to the boss fog gate. A broken narrow platform with both pendulum blades and tricky gaps that you must jump over, compounded by Blight Town blow dart enemies on either side.

Abyss Fruit

"Corrupted fruit found in the living quarters of New Londo. The abyss grants great power to all who possess it, but the price for such power is dire..."

Grants 100 HP regen when defeating an enemy, but inflicts a 5HP/s DoT over 100 seconds. Also, increases damage by 10%.

Boss

Abyss Leviathus

"Deep in New Londo, there
exists a cat-like beast known as the Leviathus. Its origins are a
mystery, but its vicious nature, dangerous to even the Darkwraiths, is
well known..."

Upon entering the greyed-out room, a 10 second timer will start while you're in it. When the 10 seconds give out (or the banshee screams), the Abyss Leviathus will spawn in the zone and a fog gate will lock you in. I won't describe the creature. Instead I will say you should picture it as a Black Hannibal:

Spoiler:

Of course, for those who know, don't try to picture the same moveset or movements. It is on all fours.

The Leviathus fights in a wide-open space and utilizes a large assortment of mid-ranged moves to fight you out of range.

HP: 5000
Difficulty: Prepare to Die!
Souls: 50,000

Moveset:

1. [Long-Range] It leaps towards you and slams its arms. May follow-up with a backflip to medium distance.
2.[Medium-Range] It reaches out with its claws with a fast swipe. It may follow-up with a second.
3.[ Medium-Range] It unleashes a 360 tail swipe. May follow-up with either a backflip or a reverse backflip (turning around and backflipping).
4.[Long-Range] Launches a fireball at your position. If it hits, it inflicts you with overencumberance for 10 seconds. If it misses, it splits into pieces and spreads across the battlefield. Areas afflicted with the abyss now causes overencumberance.
5. [Short-Range] Bites. The bite is a grab attack that separates you to medium distance.
6. [Medium-Range] Gets up on its hind legs and shoots an abyss fireball at you.
7. [Short Range] Backflips or reverse backflips.
8. [Medium Range] Does 3 variations of an Abyss Breath:

a) Releases a straight beam of that covers the entire zone in a straight line with the Abyss.
b) Releases a horizontal beam that covers the area in front of it.
C) Releases a concentrated beam that covers your area with Abyss.

If you defeat the Leviathus, it drops the Leviathus Soul.

Leviathus Soul

"While the essence of all souls is relatively similar, the soul of the Leviathus resembles that of a cat rather than that of demons, darkwraiths...or humans.

In the New Londo living quarters, where many dogs were housed, a cat was a rare sight, in fact, it was almost taboo in the unnatural culture to have one. Yet, grand priestess Lenora owned a stray cat, who showed more braverity and loyalty towards the family of 2 than any other animal did in the households."

Can be used to forge the Abyss Halberd or the Miracle Abyss Fog.

Abyss Halberd
"Halberd forged from the soul of Leviathus, avenger of New Londo. The fierce, blunt axe at the tip is covered in toxins beyond that recorded in history, but it also shares a strange blessing. Is this weapon a representation of the conflict between the abyss and undying loyalty?"

Scales -/-/-/S and inflicts Toxin, as well as drains 9 HP per hit and 40 per kill.

Abyss Fog
[Miracle]
"Miracle crafted from the soul of Leviathus. The fog embraces the enemy in a vice grip that impedes movement.

Normally, the abyss would destroy all that lay contact with it, yet this strange miracle replicates the essence of the abyss without unleashing it. The ability to combat the abyss is only within the ability of humans, so where has this inhuman soul learned such an skill?"

Emits a cloud of abyss around the user (does not follow), causes overencumberance. Duration: 30 seconds.

"Salvation is what you make of it..."

In Lost Izalith, above where you find the second Bonfire in the lava pits, there will be a female Pyromancer staring out at Izalith.

Initial Conversation: "Oh! What have we here? Another lost undead looking for an audience with the Witch herself?"

Yes: "Well, too bad. She is long dead from what I've heard. Unless you're here to kill what remains of her, I suggest you hightail it out of here. This place is crawling with demons."
No: "Then, what in blazes are you doing here? Come to rid them of this Demon infestation? Good luck with that."

"Although, the fact you made it this far means you have a degree of skill. It is no great feat to walk on a pile of lava hardly unscathed. Considering your...attire, I take it you aren't from my beloved Great Swamp. That can only mean you bested that hideous centipede."

2nd Conversation: "What do you want? My matters do not concern you. I have no need to tell you who I am or why I am here. If you have business here then get to it."

After you defeat the Bed of Chaos, she will move to Firelink on the opposite side to Laurentius.

3rd Conversation: "Well, look who it is. Has anyone told you what happened at Izalith? Of course not. I think you already know for yourself. You may look like any other clumsy fool in this land, but your skills are quite admirable. [If Laurentius is still alive] Can't say the same about little Laury over there."

4th Conversation: "Me? I finished what I had to do at the moment and left, just as you did. What I was doing was...of course, none of your business. There are still things for me do, all of which don't concern you...at the moment.

5th Conversation: "But...my purse is quite empty and I could use a bit of souls. Since I am here, I shall teach you a thing or two about pyromancy."

*Teaches you Fire Orb, Chaos Fire Whip and Combustion. Upgrades Flame to +15 and sells the Pyromancer's Ring*

Pyromancer's Ring:

Leaving Shop: "Quite skilled indeed."
Leaving Shop (empty-handed): "So, you can offer me nothing. That is a shame...a real shame..."

6th Conversation (You buy everything): "Impressive, you show must adaptation to the fire arts. You make a fascinating pyromancer, I'm sure. Well, I must be leaving soon. I've spent enough time here in Lordran...this decaying land"

Laurentius' Opinion:

Anastacia's Opinion:

She disappears completely from the game world, and, if you try teleport to the Chaos Covenant, you'll find you aren't allowed. Upon reaching the Covenant (by foot), you'll realize that the bonfire is unlit, although the Firekeeper is still alive. You can relit the bonfire and offer a Firekeeper's Soul to the Fair Lady to restore the connection.

Eingy's Flashback:

Fair Lady's Experience:

You can find the female Pyromancer in Izalith again, in the Bed of Chaos boss room. She is waiting for you there and will automatically engage you. However, before you get to her, there will be a miniboss just before the slide down, where the Sister of Izalith spawns initially:

Flaming Monster:

7th Conversation: "Oh, so you finally arrived, Chosen Undead. I must say, I'm impressed you made it, I guess the tittle of Chosen Undead comes with its perks. Now that you're here...I'll take what is rightfully mine."

The female Pyromancer has the following statistics:

SL: ?
HP: 3500
Magic: Demon Fireball, Demon Tempest, Grand Combustion, Blazing Flame
Weapon: Longsword, Hand Axe, Ascended Pyromancy Flame +5
Shield: Fire-God's Shield
Rings: Pyromancer's Ring

8th Conversation *2000 HP*: "Impressive. Indeed, you're a worthy Soul to harvest. It might take a little effort, but it will be worth it."

9th Conversation *Defeat*: "All this....for this outcome! It can't be! Don't you know who I am?"

10th Conversation *Optional* [Defeated]: "Kehehehe...kehahahaha! Yes! With your Soul and those half-breed's...the Everlasting Flame shall be mine!"

11th Conversation *Optional* [Rematch]: "Failed. Ah, well, your Soul only has one place to go upon release...and since you keep coming back..."

She drops a "Scroll of Studies" and the Fire-God's Shield when defeated.

Fire-God's Shield:

Scroll of Studies:

The Scroll of Studies are useless to you as you can't decipher it. However, you can take it to Laurentius:

Laurentius is the Man!:

Laurentius will now sell Demon Fireball, Demon Tempest, Grand Combustion and Blazing Flame.

Demon Fireball:

Demon Tempest:

Grand Combustion:

Blazing Flame:

Notes: If you kill the Pyromancer before the showdown at the Bed of Chaos room, she will only drop the Fire-God's Shield.
