Yeah. I wonder why she is a crow now (assuming she is). Because she likes to or as a curse? 1,000 years flying undead to Lordran. Ah by the way, my friend had this crazy idea that the narrator could be the giant crow.

•Painted World is the home of her most powerful miracle (Vow of Silence) and the Crow Demons.
•The Crow Demons protect this miracle aggressively.
•Crow Demons drop Souvenirs of Reprisal.
•Her miracles have a purple aura. You can see this aura when the Painted World swallows you.
•She had black hair, as the feathers of the crow.
•When you trade the Pendant to Snuggly she gives you a Souvenir of Reprisal. We may assume that the Pendant has a somewhat relation with the guilty, as Petrus drops it when he kills Reah. We have theorized that Gwyndolin had a pendant too.
•The main objective in going back to the asylum is to get the Peculiar Doll. The crow helps you get it by taking you back there.
That's it for now. For me, I love the idea, it makes a bit of sense. Feel free to add more or remove.
If all that is for the most part right,
What does that make Snuggly, and Sparky? o.O

Who's sparky?
Oh, and Snuggly isn't her baby, it's another crow's, I believe. Too small of a nest/egg.

I think the crow is merely a basic symbol that beautifully captures a game mechanic and shows the thought that goes into the details. I'll go on record and say I don't completely buy it being Velka. I won't try and dispute it since I see all the links people have made but I've always thought that the crow was used as it is closely associated with the spirit world and death. Death in many cultures is synonymous with change or transformation. All of these symbols are tied very well to the trip to Lordran. The crow is like Charon

Also, double post because I think out came up here....
The crow can't be hurt with poison or toxin. Alvina can but disappears the second she takes damage. I tried to interrupt the vanishing act by talking to her and she was about to ask me to join and poof.
I tried with a different character on ng and did 2500 to her. Well past her bar and no different

Sparky is another trade item crow creature from Demon Souls, she was found at the altar of storms. She took shiny items instead of "soft and warm" items.
Another thing to point out, I found only one dried finger (never used it) which was in the painted world. Also I'm pretty sure it comes from the hand of the Crow demons...

If I remember correctly, the Undead Asylum is in Astora. I remember hearing that somewhere, or something that alluded to that.
The crow as Velka is an interesting idea, but I would think it would have a more major role if it was. The fact that the doll is in the Asylum is circumstantial. Now, if the crow took you directly to the Painted World, then we'd probably have a lot better evidence.

Tarkus gets to the painted world, doesn't have doll, because someone brought it to your cell, he dies there.TheLolrider wrote:If I remember correctly, the Undead Asylum is in Astora. I remember hearing that somewhere, or something that alluded to that.

Oscar dies after giving you the key, or, rather, goes hollow. His real death is in the forest. But the question is, who put the doll there? Someone did. It can't just be a random placement.
The fact that the crow takes you back just because you're curled up in a ball means that it's intelligent. It probaly knows that the doll is in your cell. There's no other reason to go back (other than the slab, but that's not story related.) So if the crow didn't know about the doll, why would it bring you back? There's nothing else there.

Who knows? It's a crow.
I'm not saying you're wrong, and I'm not saying that the crow isn't intelligent or doesn't know what its doing. I'm just saying that I think your evidence is shaky.
We don't know whether Tarkus or Oscar made it into the Painted World or not. Presumably, a black knight put the doll in the Asylum. Why? Who knows. Black Knights answered to Gwyn.

I don't believe Oscar did, and I know Tarkus didn't, because you find his physical body outside of the painting. Oscar may have gotten in, but he'd have to then get out, and continue on his journey because he eventually died in the Forest, where you find the elite knight armor, leaving behind the note "I can't take this."TheLolrider wrote:We don't know whether Tarkus or Oscar made it into the Painted World or not.

I assume you return to the asylum in a different time, either in the past or future. Don't know if this is because of Lordran's unstable time, or if the crow can travel through time. But it kind of makes sense that the crow leads you to the key to the Painted World, if the crow is related to Velka.
I once tried to find out if the crow was Velka / Velka's messenger. I chased it away, then I killed some npcs in firelink while it was gone, to see if you could get away sin free if the crow wasn't watching. It didn't work.

That's funny, I wouldn't have thought to try that.
The time issue never occurs to me until someone mentions it, its such a wonky concept. Anyway, I'm not super sure that Oscar died in the Darkroot Forest. Also, both Tarkus and Oscar could have left the same way we left, off the plank. Priscilla seems un-eager to fight, so it's quite possible that they entered the Painted World.
However, none of that proves or disproves your claim. We're just kind of arguing over fine points right now.

Oscar got in. There is a video with a picture of him inside. Joe why does Tarkus dying outside the PW mean he didnt make it in? Its very likely he got inside, but was mortally wounded by Pris and only managed to just escape and died outside the PW.
It wouldnt make any sense for Oscar to have removed his armour and put it on anothe rbody lol.

I guess, but, still, Oscar did die in the Forest. We've come to the conclusion because if you Seek Guidance, you see Oscar's notes, and there's a note by the hidden bonfire in the forest "I can't take this." Then you find a body with his armor on it? That can't be a coincidence. And the fact that Tarkus dies outside the painting suggests that he got there, but was then killed by the guardians, and couldn't run away from them and into the painted world because he didn't have the doll.
These are just clues left to us from From, and I don't see how they can be disproven since the most likely answer usually is the correct one from From, with the exception of the God of War. It seems like Solaire is him, but, in reality, it was going to be Andre, and then they removed him from the story.

I just posted my theory for Tarkus. I didn't know Oscar got inside, but that's why I was saying "I don't think so, but I'm not sure." And, I guess Tarkus could have gotten mortally wounded, but, I wonder how we get a Homeward bone when we get out, and if there's meaning to that.DoughGuy wrote:Oscar got in.

I believe the homeward bone when we get out is not only a gameplay addition (Because you can just walk to the Darkmoon bonfire) but a lore one as well, and that it implies that you are safe once you get out and can quickly take refuge. And the fact that tarkus didn't get that means, to me, that he didn't make it in in the first place.

I didnt know about that darkroot message.
Tarkus's positioning makes it look like he crawled out of the painting into the corner to die, not being killed by the guardians mid fight. Also the fact there are Berenike knights in the PW, knights who Tarkus likely led or worked with, shows the doll isnt the only way to get in and Tarkus probably got in with said knights.

I wasn't suggesting that, but something bothers me about the fact that we kill him in the Asylum yet we find his armor in Darkroot. I mean, even the armor itself says he died in the Asylum.
