The plot of Black Soul is like this. The world is divided into two eras: darkness and fire. Now is the era of fire. You need a strong soul to burn yourself as fire. The more you burn, the closer the King of Fire gets to being a corpse. Living corpse, in the end, whether you want to pass on fire and be the flame yourself, or extinguish the fire and become the black king (human beings belong to darkness, the previous fire era belonged to a race that was bigger than humans, so the bosses are basically bigger than you), you have to do it now Burning things will kill you.

Dark Souls 3 Plot Analysis of the Four Salary Kings

1. Rudos the Exile

Because he has lost his ability and has no legs, it is difficult to talk to him It can be seen that "I, a dwarf, am bathed in the glory of the King of Xin" (probably the meaning). As a person who has passed through the fire and seen the essence of the fire but lost his ability, this is the last glory, so he is the one who is resurrected. Those who voluntarily returned to the throne to continue spreading the fire.

2. The Abyss Watchers Farlan Undead Team

Obviously the wolf-blooded successors of Arterius. After their resurrection, they continued to return to Farlan to guard the entrance to the abyss and were not allowed to No one is allowed to enter and no monsters are allowed to come out. At the same time, they clean up the companions who have been eroded by the abyss. However, since they are undead, they can only kill each other endlessly. There is no dialogue when coming to this boss battle. I guess it is very It may be that the undead team after resurrection have become living zombies, have lost the ability to think, and only act on instinct (similar to the fate of King Gwen in Dark Souls 1), so they attack the protagonist when they see them. Or maybe they have already spread fire once and have a new view on the matter of spreading fire. They don't want to continue spreading fire, but just want to guard the abyss and fulfill their duties during their lives (if this is the case, the details need to be completed by DLC).

As for the brother who persuaded the relevant personnel to retire at the sacrificial site, I personally think that he had escaped from the undead team before he became the salary king, and then died, and then was awakened as the ashes of Wuhu, and After waking up, I wanted to go to Farland to find my former companions to spread the flames, but because I was a deserter and had no shame to go, and my own strength was insufficient (how could I be a deserter), so I was always frustrated in the conflict. When we arrived at the sacrificial site, we simply did nothing until we killed the undead team and brought back the Abyss Monitor Chai Xin and talked to him. He would say, "You killed them all? So that's what it means to retrieve King Xin" (no (I remember the original words, it probably meant something like this), this conversation showed that he didn’t expect that if he couldn’t persuade the Xin Wang to come back, he could still kill them and get the firewood back. The death of his teammates once touched him very much, and it wasn’t until the Ancient Dragon’s Summit that he I summoned him and took the radiant dragon body stone together, and then returned to the bonfire of the undead team. Brother Quanzui will appear there to steal the power of the dragon. My more positive idea is that after brother Quanzui received the news of the death of the undead team, He was very shocked, so he cheered up and wanted to take over the place of his dead companions and continue to monitor the abyss. However, due to his own lack of strength, he wanted to get the power of the dragon. Even if he couldn't, he could die gloriously under the sword of the protagonist as a member of the undead team. No longer a timid deserter.

3. Giant King Yomu

I feel that there are two possibilities for his status. The first is from the perspective of red eyes, it is probably eroded by the abyss, but by It's hard to explain why he returned to the capital of crime to suppress the fire of crime after being eroded. The second is that he is in a similar situation to the undead team. Either he has become a living zombie's instinctive actions, or he has a new view on the behavior of spreading fire after being resurrected and is unwilling to spread fire again. In short, I don’t have any more ideas about him, because there is too little information, and there is no room for imagination, so I still have to wait for the DLC to be completed (hopefully) to figure out what is going on.

4. God-devouring Eldridge

This guy is definitely still conscious, and as soon as he came back alive, he immediately regretted the act of spreading fire, and ran back to his hometown quickly. , eat people and find girls to live a happy life, spread the word, whoever wants to go can go, anyway, I won't go even to death.

5. The twin princes of Lothric

This is the most important thing. Many people have misunderstood it. I am responsible to tell you that these two princes are not the resurrected King Xin! They are new people who are unwilling to become the King of Xin! They haven’t spread the word yet! In the first three King of Xin battles, the second form of the King of Xin was to ignite the remaining fire and enter the King of Xin form, but the two princes did not do it from beginning to end. The remaining fire state has been well explained. Secondly, the names of the other four kings are clearly written on the throne at the sacrificial site, but the one in the middle has the name of the end of the bloodline - the Holy King of Lothrik. This information is so important. It fully shows that the blood of each generation of kings in Lothric is destined to become a salary king to spread the fire. This is an eternal reincarnation and an eternal curse, so the two princes have enough power to become a salary king, but Since they were destined to be cursed by becoming King Xin when they were born, they were unwilling to accept this fate and reincarnate like this again, so they did not want to spread the fire and just waited for the arrival of darkness to end the reincarnation of this curse. One thing to note here is that from the known information, the father of the two princes is undoubtedly the Demon King of the Demon King Courtyard, a branch map of Lothric City. Because Old Wang Oos can’t remember where he came from, he is overly obsessed with the white dragon. The knowledge left behind by the Sith led him to become possessed, and he became a dragon and a human, and was sealed in a corner of Lothrik City, so he failed to become the King of Salaries.

The younger brother of the two princes has been used by Lao Wang as a test subject for the knowledge left by the White Dragon Sith since he was a child, allowing them to become the salary king with absolute power, so he was born with a disability! The younger brother is even more correct. Becoming the King of Xin Chuanhuo caused strong resistance. Let's talk about these two brothers. The younger brother was born disabled due to his father's experiment, but gained high intelligence, while the older brother was tall, brave and healthy, and once killed a demon prince alone. The younger brother was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards his older brother, but he was even more attached to him, which resulted in a abnormal feeling. So he used a curse to cripple his brother's legs, so that the older brother would be the same as himself, and the elder brother was happy to care for his younger brother because he loved him very much. They accepted this curse, so the brothers resisted the cursed fate of Losric's king to the death as the Fire King! I think the setting of this Fire King is the most attractive in this game!
