....The Emerald Herald being always one step ahead of you in locations is almost scary now....

[LoudWaffle]

"I am more fit to be a jester."
Vendrick is Jester Thomas. Open your eyes sheeple.

[FrogSpatula]

Vendrick sounds so broken and sad when he talks about his dear 'Shandra. Top notch voice acting, that got me right in the gut.

[jagermeister]

1. Kill the Emerald Herald.
2. No future queen.
3. Hope never fully withers.
4. Profit

[geronimo]

If Emerald Heralds was a queen and you fight her, the cinematic would just be
"Brave undead, seek seek lest."
Then you fight

[SerenSoreli]

"What if we have a queen of our own?" Mind fucking blown

[VampiricDarkDragon]

You know what I find a bit interesting? King Vendrick refers to his wife with "my dear Nashandra..." It seems that, despite the fact that he knows what she is, where she came from, what she represents, and everything she's done... he still loves her...

[Yerocregnes]

"Until hope has fully withered"
Well that sounds way more ominous than it did the first time I heard it!

[hoodiesticks]

I just realized that when you split the mural to enter Sinh's chamber the dragon on the mural gets decapitated.

[Zinlain]

I believe the poison that Sinh kept within him was absorbed from Gravelord Nito's Miasma in the Great Dragon War. Rather than dying, Sinh basically went into a coma deep in the earth after succumbing to the poison. I remember reading somewhere Elana was trying to drain Sinh's soul while he sleeps, give how strong dragons are, be it their souls or body parts(i.e. all the awesome dragon weapons) this makes sense to me.

[scumlord]

WAIT at 4:20 vendrick says he's more fit to be a jester and the kings ring increases pyro damage VENDRICK IS JESTER THOMAS

[Chance]

The ending of this video blew my freaking mind! It adds up..

[SwagbitoUchiha]

Shit, I just thought of something good.

It seems that you need the crowns to link the fire, according to Vendrick. This means that at the end of the game, after you beat Nashandra, you sit on the throne and nothing appears to happen. You don't get a choice on whether you link the fire or not, like in Dark Souls.

This might be why you return to Majula after the credits, with the option to start everything over again, as if to search for something you might have missed once before. So then you go to NG+, and try again. It fails. Then you go to NG++, and so on.

Trying as hard as you can to figure out why nothing happens, with each journey getting harder and harder not because your enemies are getting stronger, but because you're getting weaker and weaker as you hollow out from loss of hope at this seemingly impossible task.

_Edit: This might what the Emerald Herald hints at with her dialogue:_

"Seek the King, that is the only way.
Lest this land swallow you whole… As it has so many others."

Your character learns of the crowns by talking with Vendrick, thus you must seek him to find out.

[Mumbolian]

That ending genuinely gave me chills O.o

*Brandishes his claymore*

[Ohnonoki]

Sinh is basically the ultimate mimic. You open up his chest, looking for your treasure, and all you get is a good dicking.

[MrSineofX]

That ending sure shone a new light to the lore for me. Good job mang!

[MuddiWasTaken]

Emerald Herald: Bearer of the - Seek- Seek - Lest.

[alexmason]

Or sinh the "pls get down here and stop breathing flame from above" slumbering dragon

[JohrnyReport]

"Seeking to be whole again.."
Yeah, this is not going to happen at any cost, Because Alsanna, Fragment of Fear, cleanced by the love of the Ivory King would not submit to her selfish sisters ambitions.
