Note: before starting down this route, be sure to have 30 humanity spare). After defeating Quelaag, you can reach the second bell lever. After you ring the bell, head down the stairs (or just jump through the hole in the floor), and you’ll be in a room full of egg-covered walls. There’s a doorway, but don’t go through it. If you want to try out Dark Souls: Remastered on the Switch ahead of its release, there will be a brief network test window where you can try the game for free with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The fourth child is unknown, a god of war, whose symbol the warriors of sunlight wear. There is a lot of evidence to suggest it’s actually the Nameless King from Dark Souls III, but either way, perhaps Solaire’s lineage is linked in some way. Whatever it may be, if you follow the questline below, you can save him, and let him live out his dreams. Destructoid named Solaire one of their favorite new video game characters of 2011, calling him "the embodiment of selfless camaraderie and generosity", as well as "bat-shit crazy". [1] He was also called a "total badass" by Eurogamer. [6] The mission to save Solaire was called one of the 20 most unique sidequests in video game history by GamesRadar+, saying that "if there ever was an NPC worth saving, it would be him". [9] Matthew Byrd of Den of Geek called him the third best video game NPC, stating that "Solaire of Astora is everything that you’re not expecting to find in Dark Souls. He’s optimistic, friendly, and, if you play your cards right, helpful". [10] Note: before the next steps, you need to either join the covenant of the Daughter of Chaos and have it at +2, or have the pyromancy flame and the poison mist pyromancy. If you already have them, read on. If not, head to the next section, where I explain how to do both. No one ever said saving Solaire would be easy, right?

So, instead of heading via the normal route, let’s take a shortcut from the Demon Ruins to Lost Izalith. Near the end of your run through the Demon Ruins, you come to a large fog gate, behind which is the Demon Firesage. On the right, before the fog wall, there is a shortcut down to a large door. Follow the tree branches down, and you come to a big door.

Fun fact time: if you have the Old Witch’s Ring (more on that in our Dark Souls rings guide), equip it to hear what the White Witch has to say. She mistakes you for her sister, Quelaag, who, funnily enough, you just killed. Isn’t Dark Souls lovely? It’s difficult to say, but there is one theory that he is Gwyn’s unknown son. Gwyn had four children. There’s Dark Souls Grynevere, Dark Souls Gwyndolin, a son who he raised as a daughter, and Filianore, who cradles the egg in the Ringed City in Dark Souls III. If you’re part of the covenant of the Daughter of Chaos and have it levelled to +2, then happy days, the door will open for you. Head through and kill every last bug there. Don’t leave any of them alive. Look, I’m a vegetarian, but sometimes these things are necessary.

He is also Miyazaki's favorite character, with Miyazaki going as far as to design the Sun emblem that appears on Solaire's armor. [6] Merchandise [ edit ]

Solaire of Astora ( / s oʊ ˈ l ɛər/; soh- LAIR) is a character from the 2011 video game Dark Souls. He is a knight notable for his signature gesture, "Praise the Sun", as well as an unusually friendly demeanor contrasting most of the other characters in the game. If you’re facing this doorway, turn right, and there’s a weird gap in all the eggs. There’s an illusory wall here. Hit it, and the first thing you see is Eingyi. Say yes to him, and you can head through and meet the Fair Lady. Give her 30 humanity to join the covenant of the Daughter of Chaos and level up to +2, and you’re ready to open the door to save Solaire. The player typically last encounters Solaire in Lost Izalith, where he has gone insane and hostile upon donning a Sunlight Maggot, which he considers to be his "Sun". However, if the player opens a shortcut and kills the Maggot beforehand, Solaire retains his sanity and can be summoned for the final boss. [6] Development [ edit ] In that same first meeting, he says, “Now that I am Undead, I have come to this great land, the birthplace of Lord Gwyn, to seek my very own sun!” So, a simple start: Solaire is undead, but wasn’t before and remembers it. He has come to Lordran looking for his own sun. Does that mean he wants to link the flame? Is that why he became undead? There are three ways to obtain the pyromancy flame weapon. The easiest way is to start the game as a pyromancer. Easy peasy, you’re good to go. The second way is to save Laurentius in the depths. The third is to have twelve intelligence, be infected with egghead, and talk to Eingyi at the hidden doorway to the Daughter of Chaos, which I will not explain as it is much, much harder than just saving Laurentius, so just do that.

The version of Dark Souls coming to the Switch isn't just any old Dark Souls. It's Dark Souls: Remastered. Veteran players might find great reasons to revisit Lordran even if they've already faced down Gwyn. For starters, the game looks a lot better, running in 1080p at 30 fps on the TV and 720p at 30 fps in handheld mode. Goodbye, Blighttown framerate woes! After a while, even in despair, he is unwaveringly determined, saying, “I cannot give up. I became Undead to pursue this.” So, by the time we chat to Solaire here, we learn that he became undead for the purpose of finding his own sun. It’s not clear why he’s so driven towards it, but it’s clearly deeply important. So, it would seem he became undead to link the flame in his world, and usher in a new age of fire. But where did he come from? The "Praise the Sun" gesture was conceived prior to the character of Solaire, and was a rare holy gesture used in Demon's Souls upon casting a miracle while wearing the "Ring of Sincere Prayer". [2] The game's director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, secretly left the gesture in the game, despite being told by the game's publisher that the pose was not "cool enough" upon physically demonstrating it. From then on, the pose gained personal significance to him, and he was determined to also include it in Dark Souls. [2] Miyazaki created the character of Solaire to bring recognition to the gesture and make it more popular, purposely positioning him as a "champion" who is the first truly helpful NPC that most players see in the game. [2] The game wasn't initially set to launch alongside other platforms, but the original estimate given by From Software was in one of the summer months. This is much later than Switch fans had been hoping for, but the wait should be well worth it. May 25, 2018 — Dark Souls: Remastered for Nintendo Switch launch date postponed In case you hadn't already heard the news, Dark Souls: Remastered for Nintendo Switch has been delayed. Nintendo is noting a new release time frame of "Summer 2018." It's out for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 as of today, but Switch gamers will have to wait a bit longer. Hopefully, not too much longer.

This Darkest Dungeon mod adds Dark Souls' greatest praiser of the sun". pcgamer . Retrieved 2018-02-19. Solaire of Astora is a knight serving under the Warriors of Sunlight, a co-op focused covenant in Dark Souls. First encountered in the Undead Parish area, Solaire of Astora is determined to find "his very own sun" and gives the player the "White Sign Soapstone" item that enables the player to summon allies as phantoms to help on their journey, including Solaire himself. If you’d rather chat to Solaire, go ahead, but after this is where things get serious. If you head to Lost Izalith via the standard route, Solaire is hostile, and you either have to kill him or just leave him down there to suffer in his own madness. We don’t want that. When you meet him under the earth in Lost Izalith, he’s hostile. You have no choice but to kill him or run away, but the former is probably a kinder choice. Once slain, he speaks what may be the saddest line in the game: “My Sun… it’s setting… It’s dark, so dark…” So, let’s learn how to not let that happen!
