Dark Souls - Solaire of Astora Amiibo (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

James Davenport of PC Gamer praised Solaire as "a human-shaped reminder that other people are all we have", also saying that the character was "why I so often rally against the 'get good' ethos that so many misguided Dark Souls players cling to". He stated that he liked the tragic ending of Solaire because it was a "call to action", though saying that he would save the character on his next playthrough. [11] 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. 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 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. Single and multiplayer content will both be available, but you will only be able to play in the Undead Parish for the purposes of the test, and your progress will not carry over into the full game. When can I prepare to die? 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? You meet Solaire early in your playthrough, after you defeat the Taurus Demon. You come to a bridge with a dragon that breathes fire all over it. Instead of heading towards it and down the stairs by the bridge (into the Undead Parish), head the other way, and say hello to Solaire. Be sure to exhaust all his dialogue options (and learn about jolly cooperation).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. 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? 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? Solaire of Astora appears as a knight clad in chainmail armor adorned with gold and green spaulders and a white brigadine emblazoned with the symbol of the Warriors of Sunlight covenant tightened around his waist by two leather belts, one of which holds a scabbard with his unique Sunlight Straightsword sheathed within. His face is covered by a great helm that has a red feather attached to the side.

Retrieved 2018-02-19.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! 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?

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.
