Previously, most of the plot of the "Eldon's Legal Ring" game body was sorted out and inventoried, and since the game was released, according to SteamSpy's estimated data, the PC sales of "Eldon's Law Ring" have exceeded 20 million, and the total sales are 20 million to 50 million. However, after 2018, the accuracy of SteamSpy's data is really shameful, and the publisher Bandai Namco has not tweeted to celebrate, so the actual sales should be less than 20 million. However, from a niche soul game to today's national carnival game feast, the launch of DLC by Eldon's Law Ring is almost a foregone conclusion. In addition to the free updated PVP Arena that was previously unpacked, the large-scale plot DLC is the most anticipated point for players. Let's take a guess at the large expansion DLC today, and wait until the DLC is updated to see if the prediction is correct.
DLC release time forecast
"Eldon's Ring of Law" still follows the FS Society ancestral engine, with the continuous iteration and upgrading, the technology continues to accumulate, and the DLC release time of the Soul series is gradually shortening, let's first use the data to make a vertical comparison.
Dark Souls 2 was released on March 11, 2014, and the DLC was divided into three chapters, with The Sunken King's Crown releasing on July 22, The Crown of the Iron King on August 26, and The Ivory King's Crown being postponed to September 30 on September 24. The interval between the release of DLC and the main body is about 6 months.
Bloodline: Curse was released on March 24, 2015, and DLC Old Hunter was released on November 25, 2015, with a release interval of about 8 months between DLC and the main body.
Dark Souls 3 was released worldwide on April 12, 2016, with the first DLC, Ashes of Ariandell, released on October 25, 2016, and the second DLC, Ring City, on March 28, 2017. The interval between the release of DLC and the main body is about 6 months.
If the non-large plot of "Only Wolf" does not count the DLC, then the FS DLC is almost half a year away from the release time interval of the body, and "Blood" is released in cooperation with SIE, the time is slightly longer, but the sincerity of the blood DLC is absolutely full. The Dark Souls series is released by Bandai, and the speed of DLC production can be increased with the naked eye. However, considering the first attempt to open the world, as well as the optimization of the PC platform by the current ancestral engine after the magic reform, perhaps the DLC of "Eldon's Circle of Law" will not meet with players until the end of the year or even next year, and I personally speculate that the fastest is around October, and the slowest should be until February or March next year.
DLC plot conjecture
In "Eldon's Ring", the Golden Dynasty has experienced several large-scale battles, and the clues related to the Ancient Dragon Battle have made many small partners more vague, so let me sort out it first, and there are currently ancient dragons mentioned and appeared in the "Eldon Law Ring".
"Big Dragon" Guran Sanx
After the player first arrives in the Royal City, the left passage after defeating the phantom of "Gworay" can pick up the legendary weapon "Thunder and Lightning of Guransanx".
The weapon's combat skill is the Cologne version of the Thunder Gun, which collects the red giant thunder in the hand and throws it out. Judging from the text description, Gulan Sanx attacked and directly broke through the walls of the royal city of Rodel, resulting in a battle between the royal city and the ancient dragon.
Lance Sants
Lance Sanx, the female cologne, the player will encounter twice in the Athan Plateau, unlike the ordinary flying dragon that the protagonist has fought before, Lance Sants as an ancient dragon has a red dragon thunder, which is very spectacular at first sight. According to the description of the object, Lances Sanx often transformed into a human form and interacted with the knights as a priest of the Ancient Dragon Faith. Perhaps he also became acquainted with the "Knight of the Round Table" Vic, and because he admired Vic's character and strength, he gave his strength to Vic. Thus Vic had a unique prayer called "Vic's Dragon Thunder".
Versanques
Fersonx is the younger sister of Lancessanx, and at the end of the Cologne War, she is friends with the "Golden Prince" Gurd cultural enemy.
For players, it may be more recognizable to directly call it "Dead Dragon", after the Night of the Black Knife, Fersanx, the ancient dragon with eternal life, entered Godwin's body to fight death for his friends, and was eventually eroded by death and reduced to a "dead dragon".
"Dragon King" Platon Sanx
Platon Sanx, the oldest king of Eldon, is located in the middle of the time and space of Fam Yazra, the center of the storm. Judging from the model of the Ancient King's Talisman and Platon Sanx, the Dragon King should have four or five heads, but now only two remain.
There is a famous rumor about Platon Sanx that the Dragon King's head was cut off by Gerfrey or Gerdwin. After hearing this statement, I compared the package data with the text of the line, and there was no textual evidence, even environmental evidence to support it. After tracing the starting point of this rumor, I found that this is an irresponsible guess of the UP owner with a huge number of fans, and then spread the rumor with rumors, and the more it is spread, the more true it is.
The sword tomb in front of the royal city on the Yatan Plateau has been clearly stated that this is the final location of the Ancient Dragon War, from the arrival of the ancient dragon to the end of the royal city, there is no counter-attack on Fam Yazra, and then chop off the head of the Dragon King. The reason why the big UP lord made this argument is based on Greire's biggest rival, the Storm King. He believes that "Storm King" refers to the Dragon King Praton Sanx, after all, they are all kings.
However, according to the ending of the Neferliro branch, the "Storm King" refers to the former lord of Stonewell City, and Stonewell is also a transliteration, and the literal translation should be Storm City. Of course, in addition to the direct evidence, there are two side evidences that can show that the "Storm King" is not the "Dragon King".
Both wings of the Storm King are "Lost Knights", and the "Blessed King" refers to the "Evil Omen King" Mongart in the abolition case. Although this setting was removed from the official version, the king of an ancient dragon would not be two human knights under any circumstances. Therefore, the "Storm King" is the former lord of Stonewell City, who lost to Horelu, later Greire, in the early days of the expansion of the Golden Power.
Cologne War
Clues to the Dragon Wars in the game are scarce, and it can only be inferred that Gulan Sanks attacked the Royal City with unknown motives, and Gulan Sanks also died in the Royal City, which is the rocked Royal City Dragon in the game. With the death of the Great Dragon, more Dragons joined the war, and the battle between the Royal City and the Dragons was about to break out. The knights and dragons of the Ancient Dragon Faith, the Golden Clan of the Great War King City of Roddell, the Furnace Knights and the Alien Dragon Armor are blessed by the Furnace of Life at this time, and have the power of the dragon (tail of the hundred phases, throat, horn). Eventually, the Dragons stopped the war and shook hands outside Roddell. His younger sister, Fersanx, is friendly to Gurd's cultural enemies, while her older sister LanceSanks transforms into a human form and later meets Vic.
Regarding the reason for the truce of the cologne, I think it should be related to the dragon king Platon Sanx, and the reason for the departure of the dragon god is not given in the game. Perhaps during the Gulong War, there was a great threat in Fam Yazla. An external deity decapitated the Dragon King's two heads. The fighting between the two sides brought Fam Yazra to the brink of collapse. The "Grandmother of the Dragon" Guior was also seriously injured in the battle and fell to Fam Yazla, dying in the Galid region.
At present, the dragons in the game are divided into ancient dragons and other dragons, and the most obvious features are the red dragon thunder and eternal life. The dragon king's recollection can be exchanged for the "Dragon King Rock Sword", which clearly mentions the gap between the two.
Only those who control the red thunder and lightning are the ancient dragons, and the yellow dragon thunder is the descendants of the ancient dragons, who have lost some of their strength and eternal life. As for the other earth dragons, pyroxene dragons, etc. that the player encounters, they are all dragons that are transformed from humans, which is also the price of human power.
In summary, I suspect that the first DLC may have traveled back to the Gum war through Gui'orr, the "grandmother of the dragons" in the Galid region, to receive a mission to rescue the attacked Fam Yazra. Arrive at a critical moment to help Platon Sanx fight off the threat. After all, the story of the soul series crossing also has precedents, for example, in "Dark Souls 1", he was caught by Manus's big hand into the gap in time and space, helped "Walk the Abyss" Altlius to free, and defeated Manus, saving the endangered Ulasillu and becoming a legendary hero.
