I'm pretty sure that the reason why the dragon crest ring works with pyromancy is cause pyromancys used to be known as fire sorceries and only became it's own thing after the witch of izalith became the bed of chaos,in fact the fire demon sage is the last fire sorcerer

I love all the music choices, (especially the Kingdom Hearts one) in these videos

I count the climax of Dark Souls 1 as killing Lautrec, the rest is filler, so with that in mind the challenge was already done.

Rewatched once I'd already watched to make sure I wasn't mishearing while the Scala Ad Caelum theme was playing

Nice video. Pyromancies were my favorite, because of how useful they are in a hybrid built where you mix melee and magic. And with the right pyros and an upgraded flame Ornstein and Snough become a lot easier. Some 9f those spells hit like a truck XD

Particularly, it is known that Kingseeker Frampt and Dark Sun Gwyndolin are dual-teaming the scheme to lead Undead into perpetually linking the fire. Ornstein is the captain of Gwyn's four elite knights. Smough was rejected from being the fifth knight, because he is a shameless cannibal - which is heavily frowned upon by Gwyn and the general society of Anor Londo. Ergo, because Frampt shares their views, he despises Smough.
