远古时期,曾是古龙统治下的世界。太阳王、魔女、墓王、被遗忘的侏儒获取初始之火的力量,拥有了王魂。在叛变的白龙,无鳞者希斯的帮助下,太阳王、魔女、墓王掀翻古龙,成为罗德兰新的统治者 —— Four great ones。太阳王燃烧自己的生命以维持最初之火的燃烧,带给这个世界以光明。但他毕竟不是不朽的,所以玩家(我认为同样是王魂获得者的被遗忘一族,即人类)在完成历险最后直面的,是已经失去意识的——薪王。
多年以后……彼海姆已经成为了多兰古雷格。据多兰古雷格宰相的灵魂,美丽的王妃杜娜湘卓投奔汎克拉德王之后,国王北渡征讨四个巨物Four great ones,获取了巨人之力。接着,国王利用巨人之力造巨偶,建设雄伟的多兰古雷格城!可是,因为巨人的渡海反击,国王在击退巨人获取惨胜之后——很难说那到底算不算是胜利——多兰古雷格衰败了,而国王也成为了薪王命运类似的巨大活尸。
Hammer used by Aldian acolytes. Not used as a weapon, but as an instrument to dissect the bodies of the victims of their experimentation.
They say that Lord Aldia was the King's elder brother and helped found Drangleic, but he later lost interest in the land's fortunes.
守卫龙的灵魂
Soul of a dragon that guards the path to the shrine.
Do the dragons watch over the land of their own will, or are they in the grip of one of Aldia's spells?
到了龙祭坛,古龙会跟你说:
Yet another stands before us... Then so be it. For the curse of life, is the curse of want. And so, you peer... Into the fog, in hope of answers.
很好理解,它会给玩家灰雾核心,意思就是,你自己去雾里找答案吧!去看看巨人之战,去找到我的记忆。Curse of want这里的want,自然是和Throne of Want说的一个东西。生命的诅咒,就是渴望的诅咒。
那我们究竟在古龙的回忆里看到了什么——
一条已经死去的古龙。
在这条巨龙的身上我们可以找到古龙的灵魂:
Ancient Dragon Soul
Soul of the great ancient dragon that stands magnificently, deep within the shrine.
This powerful being stands and waits, for whoever may visit him.
杜湘卓娜的灵魂——少有的几个黑色BOSS魂之一
生于昔日之暗的宠儿,秉持天生个性追求力量,【欲望】使徒的灵魂
Soul of Nashandra, Queen of Drangleic.
Nashandra was born of the Dark with an insatiable lust for strength.
黑暗的孩子,疯狂追求力量。
用她的弓可以换得的:
Scythe of Want
A scythe born from the soul of Nashandra.
The old one of the Abyss was reborn in death, split into minuscule fragments, and spread across the land. The pieces began to coalesce again, becoming human in shape"
深渊,深渊!!我几乎可以确定就是腐蚀阿尔特留斯的【深渊】。这可能就是魂系列里发展到二代,所确定的最终反派的力量。深渊中的【the old one】在死亡中重生,分裂成微小的碎片……变成人型。
联想到宰相说王妃就“像是黑暗”——所以王妃是黑暗之子,深渊中的【the old one】无疑问。
而且,王妃这样的人,不止一个,是因为黑色的BOSS魂就不止一个。
那深渊中的the old one ,是谁呢?
If thine wish is to succeed poor Artorias, and challenge the spread of the Dark, then thou must face Manus, Father of the Abyss. The Dark emanates from Manus himself. Even if this land shall expire, thou may be able to prevent further corrosion... But even so, one day the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain. And even a legend such as thineself can do nothing to stop that."

Bow of Want
"A bow created from the soul of Nashandra
The old one of the Abyss was reborn in death, split into miniscule fragments, and spread across the land.
The smallest of the pieces, sensing its own fragility, yearned for what it lacked."
If thine wish is to succeed poor Artorias, and challenge the spread of the Dark, then thou must face Manus, Father of the Abyss. The Dark emanates from Manus himself. Even if this land shall expire, thou may be able to prevent further corrosion... But even so, one day the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain. And even a legend such as thineself can do nothing to stop that."

鹰眼葛夫的话
阿尔特留斯意欲挑战the Dark的蔓延,要直面深渊之主马努斯。
But even so, one day the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain.
火焰会熄灭,唯黑暗永存。
