>contradicts his earlier character

He always existed to punish the greedy, anon, that was his whole shtick.

The reason he survives through all the game is because he was so focused on punishing the greed of man

Is that Patches the Hyena? What is "Dark 1 and 3"?

>>14371163

>The reason he survives through all the game

I killed him in DaS1. He didn't survive. At least, I never saw him again after I killed him.

>>14371163

That's the part of the character Dark 1 and 3's versions have in common, but the difference is he did use to be greedy himself as well in the first game. He didn't steal for nothing.

>>14371167

No, he doesn't have that asshole goatee

>>14371185

>No, he doesn't have that asshole goatee

(it's actually the same Patches, and voiced by the same actor in DeS, DaS, DaS3, and Soulsborne)

I hate him, but I can't kill him.

>>14371219

I know. Also appeared in Armored Core if you want to get technical, but didn't like a nu metal singer with a goatee from early 2000's .

>>14371232

didn't look like*

>OP forgetting about Demon's Souls

What a fag.

>>14371288

He'd make an alright she.

>>14371354

Nose too big, but I've seen worse.

>>14371219

>soulsborne

Nobody calls Bloodborne that. Where the fuck do you even think you're trying to fit in at, dipshit?

And then he turns into a spider.

>>14371147

The Age of Ancients was caused by the Old One in Demon's Souls.

The Age of Fire was caused by Patches because he can't stand living in a gray world.

Bloodborne's world was created by the Painter using the Blood of the Dark Soul.

I solved the fucking mystery.

Give me my paycheck.

Rejoyce for emulation is happening. Slowly but surely.

>>14371147

Short answer; he's a hypocrite plain and simple. Long answer is we know the undead curse entails that you don't die, you go hollow and that's either from losing purpose or motivation. You can die endless amount of times as long as you don't give up or lose yourself. Lapp was on the brink of losing himself until you came along and from there he struggled for purpose and was slowly going hollow himself. Talking with you and hanging out gave him some clarity until he ends up stumbling onto his original self. From there he was given a choice; to pick up the mantle of who he was; give himself a new motivation and continue, or go hollow and insane.

He still probably considers you his friend, considering he's summon-able after for the Spear of the Church fight, just friends aren't exempt from being set straight here or there.

How is that contradictory? It just means he liked doing it so much he realize he was the manifestation of antigreed

>>14371147

>muh dark souls lore

He's in almost every FromSoft game, even in one of the Armored Cores

>>14371232

And in one of From's older works, I think King's Field. He is just a reference, From really likes referencing their other works. It is why Tarkus' helmet has the look it does, it is a head part from Armored Core.

I haven't played the ringed city DLC and have no diea what you are talking about with Nirvana but things to consider

Patches in Dark Souls 1

First Encounter

>Asks if you are a cleric

>Flips a bridge on you

>If you say you are a cleric he attacks you when you return to him

>If you say you are not he asks if he caused you any trouble

>If you say yes you get a humanity.

He causes you trouble and if you are honest with him and tell him he caused you trouble, he will honestly give you a humanity for the trouble.

As for the cleric bit, this may be justified assuming the theories about the Way of the White being related to the AYYLMAOs of Bloodborn.

Second Encounter

>Points to treasure

>Kicks you down a pit if you go after it

>When you come up he asks if you forgive him

>Say no and you get a twin humanity

>Say yes and he drops glowstones that show you a path to a bonfire

In this encounter Patches is literally testing you for greed. He points to treasure and if you go for it he punishes you. Not only that but he also tests your willingness to forgive, as if you don't forgive him he will give you a twin humanity, and if you do he shows you a path to safety.

>Selling ill gotten goods at a higher price

Buying the recently dead's possessions is a prick move. Hope you enjoy paying out the ass for them, you greedy shit.

>>14388414

What about patches in DeS?

>>14388485

He's there as a scavenger taking advantage of an apocalypse, nothing more. His first encounter is in world 4 if dialog is to go by. He kicked Saint Urbain into a pit that contains bodies, a quest related sword, and a black phantom, who is theorized to be the owner of said sword. How he got tricked, I don't fucking know. If you come back to him, he tries to weasel out by saying it was just a little joke and that you're his friend. The second time you meet him, he tries to trick you into getting assraped by a bearbug, but then is surprised when you make it explode on him.

>>14371147

Alright, you didn't pay attention OP- Patches fucking hates churchfags because they made the undead, and are corrupt liars running a pyramid scheme/usury bullshit- there's a reason why the faith shit uses INT at later ranks, it's a subtle que to the fact that the wat of white exists to propgate Gwyn's age of fire by getting humans to ignite their humanity and burn it to fuel the flase cycle/brand.

Patches hate's dishonest greedy fucks because they end up like the Aldritch failful or whatever, cunts that cheat nature by drowning themselves in sin to become indigestible to the world- so he punishes them and doesn't feel an ounce of guilt, but tempting their worst vices. Namely, Greed. If you indulge in that form of Hedonism, especially in a dying world like Dark Souls, it's no wonder he fucks you over, you literally deserve it.

Also, again, there's never not a case where patches doesn't fuck you over without means for you to survive, and each trap he sets has a test or otherwise hidden purpose- survival just means even if you're a cunt you can at least carry your sin and weight, death just means patches was right- which is why he asks your fogiveness once you get out.

He get's along with other vagabonds/rogues with a conscience because of a shared sense of honesty both have.

>>14388485

Havent played the game but according to the wiki

>Patches is a scoundrel who enjoys setting traps for unsuspecting travelers, often using their greed against them to lure them to their demise and loot their corpse. If players resist the temptation to kill Patches in revenge for trapping them, he will return to the Nexus where he is a useful merchant.

So same deal more or less.

>Dark 1

>Dark 3

Hmm, now where have I seen this naming convention before. I haven't, because I don't fucking go to reddit.

The Painter is Ocelotte

>>14371147

patches just wants to steal your attache case

before running back to home base

he also may lace your drink and you won't be able to taste it

he'll sort through your things as your mind begins to sink

and when you're on the brink of falling off the edge

he'll hedge all his bets and try to secure your last wedge of cheese

and even if you say, "please, no, don't do that"

he'll teabag your bitch ass and watch the humanity drain from your twat

or something.

>>14371288

>not just playing good games wherever they are

How's it feel to be an inferior race?
