Yeah, and the trend has been to increase the cost. For GTAIV, the DLC is $40. But, they also sell a disk version for less. The add-ons for Fallout 3 were like $50, but you could buy the GOTY edition a bit later for $56 so it just makes no sense sometimes. MW2 add-on maps instead of being the previous $9.99 were $14.99 and included 2 maps from COD4. So in essence you got 3 new maps and 2 old ones that are exactly the same as in COD4. Supposedly 2 favorites, though 1 is one nobody seemed to like and used to always vote to skip.

DLC when done right is ok, like the Pirates of the Caribbean for LBP, when done wrong it's overly expensive for very little new content. I think it would however be possible for there to be some good DLC for DS, but they might consider it too late. Opening up the 6th archstone. The addition of some items/weapons/armor and even a tournament zone are possible-maybe opening up the gate behind the 1-1 archstone for tournaments. Players would at a minimum have had to finish the endgame or some other test and would get a special stone for that.

Completely with you on that one. It'd be awesome to have new land to discover, but those things are monstrous! I'm almost completely a melee fighter, even though magic is my highest stat. Imagine melee fighters going up against those. You hide behind them to attack them, they step back looking around for you, and SPLAT! All that's left is Kylana's purple hair XD

Hmm, would make sense since the vanguard is technically a piece of the northern lands. Although its a shame the makers of this game couldn't come up with a better mini giant boss fight for tutorial level. Umm hope this isnt spoiler, but after killing vanguard and going to the dragon god, where do ya think that area is? Somewhere near stonefang mine since its lava flowing near the dragon?

I desperately hope I'm wrong for the sake of a bad ass DLC, but I have some kind of unwelcoming hunch that it is the tutorial level.

Well since DS has been a hit success thus far, Atlus could perhaps use it to either make another DS based upon how it all began and more details on how this all started, or…….well thats about all I got, IMO there will be no added content for 6th archstone area, wouldn't make sense,and how could it fit in? It would do better in a separate game. Its not as if its 'oh, we quite fancy adding another 3-4 levels in DS with new weapons, armor, drops, new enemies, bosses and such' no, so don't count on it, its probably another excuse to start a 2nd DS since this DS is a big hit so far and it gonna be invaded by Europe.

Re: 6th archstone?

Sun, 09 May 2010 09:06:36 +0000

What? No…you have to kill ALL of the archdemons to go meet the old one. On one of my most recent playthroughs, I saved 3-3 for last. Killed False King waaaay before I actually went on to finish the game.

Re: 6th archstone?

Sun, 09 May 2010 09:03:08 +0000

I don't think they will make the 6th archstone as the next demon's souls simply because I'm not sure if just one area would have enough content. If anything happens with it then it will probably be part of a prequel where you play as a soldier at the start of the demon invasion. I also see that you may even be able to choose a different race and be able to see all the lands when they are not destroyed. Another cool thing would be forming large groups of people, like 10-12, to fight against giant demons that are controlled by 1 other person. Or having big 12 on 12, or more, battles.

Re: 6th archstone?

Sun, 09 May 2010 08:56:26 +0000

I'm not sure what you are talking about because you only have to kill 1 archdemon before you are able to kill the false king and once you kill him you can go to the old one. Once I got all the items and stuff upgraded with colorless souls I just killed 1 archdemon and then went on to beat the game so I could farm souls better.

Anyone find those emails yet? They already said that they made good money (obviously if they thought it was good enough to port the game yet again to another region,) so why not activate the 6th archstone somehow through either DLC or a new game entirely?
And while we're on this subject, what do you guys think it should be? A massive DLC (I would easily pay 20 for that) or a whole new game? If so, how would they go about doing it and how would it work into the story? Someone already mentioned a whole new game in the form of a prequel. I would personally like to see a big DLC where you fight guys like the vanguard, flamelurker, tower knight and dirty colossus (possibly where they came from originally with the exception of the tower knight,) but slightly gimped to make it a little easier to traverse through, with 4-5 archstones to go through. Maybe something you have to trigger in the game, either in the nexus or in another world altogether or even an item you get from the False King to "reverse time" before they destroyed the archstone, activating it because there are still some demons (bosses) that are still powerful enough to overtake the lands even if you quell the old one back to it's slumber. Imagine for a second playing through the areas that the trailer before the game starts show. Now imagine fighting a different Dragon God type demon as the final boss like the one in the trailer. Hey, nothing says that there can't be two of them, right? As for DS 2, I could see a Diablo 2-like story where the "wanderer" from the first game kills the Maiden in Black in lust for power in the same vain as Wannabe Allant and sort of dooms humanity. Then an entirely new wanderer has to traverse through the other half of the world (the part that was already overtaken before you even began playing the first game) giving excuse to create different environments (a lot of world 3 and 5 type stuff but maybe darker and even emo-like) and all new bosses that are even more corrupted than the bosses from the first game. What do you guys think?

How could they look like the tower knight? Tower Knight wears armor

a foggy area with dead trees is more or less world 4…….what're you talking about kid

Re: 6th archstone?

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:53:10 +0000

When i picture the giants in the 6th arch stone
I picture them to look a little like the vangaurd and tower knight.
And the area i picture a foggy place where there are dead trees…

Re: 6th archstone?

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:34:07 +0000

It will never work. Never. Unless somehow we become big gigantic Giants for the time being ourselves, there's no way a Giant will die with 5 firestorms or a few hits from a NR.

I had a very difficult time fighting the Giant Goblins. Fighting Giants Giants would be a nightmare :P

Wait, fighting up against those huge giants like the picture? OMG that would be awesome! mini bosses all around (hope the big time bosses will be good to fight as well)!

Re: 6th archstone?

I was always thinking about how they could implement the 6th archstone in somehow… and you read my mind…

I 'missclicked' on this topic. I always thought the endgame would have something to do with this archstone and I really looked forward to it (don't spoil the endgame for me though, I still don't know anything about it). What a damn letdown :p. Let's hope it's DLC. Or a sequel with a much more thorough story.

I agree, if an email is provided, then perhaps it could be posted as an announcement/news post?

Up until i read this post i thought that it was for people to fall on and leave stupid messages…..anyways…They joke about a Demon's Souls 2 in aprils Game Informer. Its good for a laugh or two. Dont know if anyone else saw that? Oh and im all up for e-mailing Atlus and From Software, just gotta find the address -.-

Re: 6th archstone?

Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:26:02 +0000

Why can't you download it but not have access to it until you start a new char OR your next NG+?

Re: 6th archstone?

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:18:53 +0000

If you provide the correct e-mails to make these, I'm down with that! :P
And create a new thread that would Entice other users of this wiki to write to them.
That would be the next sweetest thing since i've begun playing DS :D

Re: 6th archstone?

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:03:34 +0000

Ok i have an idea, lets have everyone on this wiki and anyone else they can get to write a letter, no wait this is 2010 not 1985, write an email and send it to both Atlus and From Software to see if we can get em to open their little box of goodies and finish and release the 6th world??

Re: 6th archstone?

Possible that is where the Shard of Archstone comes from?

Re: 6th archstone?

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 04:10:41 +0000

that picture makes that land look awesome! if only the sequal (if they make one) will take place there i could imagine your a soldier who dies then a flashback takes you back leading up to your death but thats normally were turns out you lived and you get to kill a giant but then die killing it. this sounds like a plot for a game right?

Re: 6th archstone?

or had gone over budget

Re: 6th archstone?

i could totally see mini vanguards as the norm for the land of the giants :)

Re: 6th archstone?

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:05:34 +0000

They could have just run out of Dev time, declared the Archstone as broken and re-distributed the creatures they had already earmarked for that area to the other stones. Notice how World 1 has 4 areas compared to the other's 3 areas? You could argue that the undeniably huge Tower Night was possibly once envisaged as a boss within the Land of Giants. It's only a theory of course but it just seems a bit pointless having the broken Archstone there and it's not a massive leap of imagination to speculate that with all the best intentions, they wanted the game to have 6 worlds but ran out of time.

Rumours abound on the 6th archstone being DLC. They put it there for a reason, if only to see what we might speculate about it and whether the demand is there for more. Could easily be just a plot loophole to tie a sequel into. I would kill for a full sequel.

Re: 6th archstone?

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:41:11 +0000

I don't think they'll add it on becuase if you think about it, you'll have to start over with a new character to access it otherwise it wouldnt have been possible to open the doorway to the old one…it would suck for them to add it on this late after the release of the game and have to go back and replay a different char JUST to access this archstone.

There has been talk of making a DS 2 using this archstone as a "pre-quel" to the game..I think that would be the best idea. Focus soley on that archstone and the war that the giants had with boletaria..it would be interesting to see the fall of these giants to something as simple as these tiny demons that my character kicks ass against

Here is the possible picture of the Northern Lands (warning, it's 2mb): http://sarshelyam.brinkster.net/poop/DemonsSouls/demonssouls_jjoy_wallpaper_01.jpg

Uh… I don't know about you guys, but if they decide not to add this archstone, I'm fine with it… I mean, it's not that I don't want to get smashed into dust by a 200-foot demon, but… well…

Re: 6th archstone?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:52:19 +0000

Well i hope it does because it would be kinda cool to find a new area.

Re: 6th archstone?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:49:41 +0000

I haven't. I asked my younger brother about this one before, with him being a self-professed expert on ATLUS games.
He reckons that considering their past record of DLC (i.e Little to none) it is very unlikely.
Also, they did in fact only port the game to the US and do some translation fixes. Any added content would have to come from From Software, which if anything has a worse record for DLC.

However…we can only hope… *Drools*

Re: 6th archstone?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:33:43 +0000

Has anyone heard about an add-on from ATLUS???

Re: 6th archstone?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:49:38 +0000

I heard on a gamespot forum that it will later become a DLC and you will be fighting giants =D

Re: 6th archstone?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:51:26 +0000

The story behind the 6th archstone is that it leads to the northern lands. (presuming you aren't one of the people who believe the northern lands is where the nexus resides anyway.)

The northern lands are inhabited by giants…there is a picture of them somewhere on this wiki (which significantly shows some human sized dwelling alongside the giant ones, implying their cultures were relatively friendly), not sure where I saw it though.
Boletaria was once at war with them, and the northern lands were the first to fall to the fog prior to Demon's Souls taking place.
However, it is postulated by some that the giants were allies of the the humans (Boletarians) in the same way that the mine dwellers in Stonefang and the people of the White Lady in Latria were, given the scale of the constructions in some of the areas of the game and the size and grandeur of the Nexus. This means it is possible that demonic influence was what caused the giants to turn against the humans, and the beginning of the war.

Either way, the stone was destroyed to prevent a demonic invasion from the other side.
