Anastacia of Astora

[RE-L124C41]

Is there a lorewise explanation of her "impure tongue"? Always wondered why she says that.

They probably cut her tongue out back in her village, so that she'd never say any god's name in vain. How do these martyrs keep chugging along? I'd peter out in an instant. Hah hah hah hah!"

It's probably "impure" because it was "repaired / regrown" when you resurrected her.

Reminds me of the movie. Thanks for your interpretations. Would be a nice surprise if you could pry her bars open and just say "Go on life your live, you have paid your debts. There are plenty of bonfires to go to. Just let this go out."

it's "impure" because the fire keepers attract humanity and for this reason his body wetsuit.
for example the guardian of anor londo wearing armor for this reason.
(Read his description armor)

Well, I am not so sure about that...

[artoriasKK]

it's one of many theories

She was probably chosen to perform the "honorable" duty of a Fire Keeper,when her people found out she was undead.
And screw her for suggesting the player to link the fire.

??? Don't understand this sentence. Also, is it a prerequisite to be NOT undead in order to be chosen as firekeeper?

Why? Seems like a good suggestion to me.

From her POV? Maybe.
For the Chosen Undead,and possibly the rest of humanity? Not so much.

Speak to her after placing the Lordvessel for Kingseeker Frampt
… Frampt has told me of you…
… That you have agreed to link the Fire.
… I thank you, sincerely.
… Finally, the curse of the Undead will be lifted, and I can die human.
… I am powerless, but I will do all that I can.
… Please, save us all…
… Please…

The Fair Lady can't be undead,but why would Anastacia want you to link the fire "so she could die human" unless she was undead herself?

Never got that dialogue. Strange. So, basically you say she is lying? Just to be doomed to be trapped in her prison for eternity? I don't know, man.

[76561198200638999]

No,she wants you to link the fire and break the curse so she can die human,instead of going hollow/sitting there forever/whatever the hell happens to Fire Keepers when they get old.
I am just not a big fan of that ending at all...

[RE-L124C41]

These convoluted timelines in DS will always be a f_ucking big mystery to me. Anyhow I also don't like this ending at all. The first time I linked the fire I was like "No, no, no, just stop this s_hit now."

The trigger for this dialogue seems kind of weird. I think you have to place the lordvessel with Frampt and aquire a certain amount or all lordsouls? I stumbled on this by pure accident when i was reinforcing my estus with her in avery late game state.

(I think i even got it when i just screwed both serpents over and placed it myself?)

[RE-L124C41]

Uhhh, kind of like your experience. Thanks. There was one time I p_issed off Frampt for not talking to him. Had to laugh at how annoyed he was.

The trigger is: restore her tongue so she can talk (obviously); offer at least one Lord Soul to the Lordvessel. When you do that, you get that dialogue (and she kindles Firelink Shrine to 20).

Having Kaathe or Frampt as your mentor is unimportant?
Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.
