Aldia

[TiFicate]

Hey boys,so i have already killed vendrick,nashandra ,talked to aldia behind rotten and near shrine bonfire,but Aldia is not appearing at the Throne of want area,why?

[King in Yellow]

You gotta meet him 3 times before he appears at the throne of want :

- Last primal bonfire you lit
- Undead crypt
- Dragon shrine

In Dragon Shrine he'll ask you a question. If you want to fight him, you'll have to answer yes, otherwise he'll just disappear and won't show up after Nashandra.

does he have to be fought right after nashandra, or can I fight her, talk to him then come back to the boss room to fight him? what if I die fighting him, do I have to fight nashandra again?

[Neurological]

You have to fight him right after nashandra, if you die you do him again, no nashandra again.

[Hibuki]

I met him all three times.

- The first time he didn't ask a question
- The socond time I said Yes
- The third time I said Yes

I beat the Throne Guardian+Watcher as well as Neshandra in one go and Aldia didn't show up... Am I supposed to have the DLC for this?

To top it off the game is forcing me to "Proceed to throne".......

[Neurological]

Did you remember to kill Vencrick? You also just finish the game, then use an ascetic at drangleic and fight Nashandra again if you want.

[Hibuki]

I didn't know that I had to kill Vendric as well...

In any case, does fighting and killing Aldia give you the "good" ending or the "bad" one (as I am not certain whether the normal ending is "good/bad")?

[Legas]

Killing Aldia let you choose the ending. The regular one or the new one.

[Hibuki]

Thanks.

[Legas]

If you didn't kill vendrick and already killed nashandra, you'll have to kill vendrick, then ascetic King's Gate Bonfire to fight nashandra again.

Rest of your info is good, but this is false, he will show up no matter how you answer the question as long as you have talked to him 3 times and havent killed nashandra yet.

I just want to make something clear - Once you beat Aldia you get the choice of "Proceed to throne" or "Leave throne room" (which is at the exit).

I wanted to point that out because after managing to finally beat him on NG+2 I made the mistake of proceeding to the throne without realising that I had the other option (I expected to be prompted during the final cinematic...).

Well that sucks. But you can always watch the new ending cinematic at youtube for the same effect.

At least in Dark Souls 2, they highlighted both the exit and the throne, pointing out your options.
In Dark Souls 1, nothing hinted you at all that if you left the area you would get a different ending.
