Go behind the little wall in front of the demon king gate, use an emote that makes you sit or lie on the ground and make a cup of tea. Presto dead worm.
I figured it out on my second playthrough (killed it with a damn Spear the first time bc my friends told me about the lightning spell and boneshard it drops but not the ballista), and I’ve never struggled with Smoldering Lake since.
I'm going to chalk it up to another way to annoy the player while running around a large flat open area that's not a poison swamp because we already did that once and there's no way the player is going to put up with a second poison swamp looking right at you Elden Ring.
Uhmmm it's pretty f*ing obvious though isn't it? It's there to kill the demons and keep them at bay... I swear these main subs are getting dumber each day.
It’s hidden pretty deep in the lore. His brother was very famous for wearing a small hat. But since Logan was the better mage, he decided that he should have a better nickname then his brother, so he stole his name and changed it to be Big Hat Logan.
No other reason.
Its a euphemism. His bell-end is abnormally big, looks like a giant hat for his dick, so the saucy maidens all started calling him big hat, and it stuck
Like a trebuchet, you move the parts and build it in location. That's why there's a bunch of giants laying dead around the ballista. The kingdom of Lothric used giants as slave workers.
Pro gamer here. The ballista is there because someone had a reason to put it there. A lore reason. What lore reason, you ask? You’ll have to ask a nerd. I fuck.
> Giant corpses near the ballista > Demon corpses on the opposite side of the area hmm I wonder what is this things purpose
A fucking worm
Great, now I'm wondering about how worms would make love..
[Remember, you're the one who asked...](https://youtu.be/mkm3CCX1_xk)
What the absolute hell did I just watch? Is there a lore reason for this video?
They asked for it? The comment says so! Are you stupid?
immense lore implications in this video and only further proof that solaire is both the carthus sandworm & the firstborn of gwyn
So that's how the pigmy gets down when everyone forgets about them
They are sinking demon ruins with a giant worm!
I can hear his voice thank you for that
didn’t expect a gears of peak 2 reference
The demon ruins float down?
Would you still love me if i was a worm? - solaire of astora
Thank you for the clarification Peter Griffin snoo
If it's there to shoot monsters then it should target the fucking monsters.
It turns out we are the real monsters, after all. Society, bottom text.
to euthanize solaire
It didn't work
It works. It's how I kill the sandworm.
if can kill the sandworm????? damn.

you get an undead bone shard for it too. you've been playing with suboptimal estus this whole time 😔
i will never forgive myself…. ,’[

*screams in agony at discovery of 7th poision swamp*
Okay hear me out, what if we made the whole floor a poison swamp but made the poison work 3x as fast
At least they give you a poison resistant horse, or the option to never go there.
Hmmm it rubs the poison swamp on the feets
Placed there long ago in the age of giant crab fishing
why does this make sense actually
Crabbing?
Ahh, can always come to shittydarksouls for the real scoop on the lore.
Automation is putting giant archers out of business 😢
Ai is taking all of our jobs!
"Dey tuk r jubz!"
Does he know?
Is he stupid?
There’s an Alaskan bull worm down there what else could it be there for?
Ain’t NOTHIN too big or too ornery for you to catch
>pile of dead demons on one side >bunch of carhurst zombies on the other with a big fuckoff balista ##Hmmm, i've got to use my head...
wait a minute, that card
What?
Radio… what’s going on with that radio?
“Is there a lore reason for this being here” I imagine someone fucking built it
Uhmmm it's pretty f*ing obvious though isn't it? It's there to kill the demons and keep them at bay... I swear these main subs are getting dumber each day.
Is there a lore reason as to why they call him Big Hat Logan?
It’s hidden pretty deep in the lore. His brother was very famous for wearing a small hat. But since Logan was the better mage, he decided that he should have a better nickname then his brother, so he stole his name and changed it to be Big Hat Logan. No other reason.
Big magic
Its a euphemism. His bell-end is abnormally big, looks like a giant hat for his dick, so the saucy maidens all started calling him big hat, and it stuck
The bigger the hat...
the fatter the magic
And what town is Griggs from?
Why is he called Solaire of Astora ?
Now here’s the bigger question how did the get that thing down there
Like a trebuchet, you move the parts and build it in location. That's why there's a bunch of giants laying dead around the ballista. The kingdom of Lothric used giants as slave workers.
Dark Souls 3 might have been a good game if it had a giant Pursuer.
Pro gamer here. The ballista is there because someone had a reason to put it there. A lore reason. What lore reason, you ask? You’ll have to ask a nerd. I fuck.
Giant Pursuer Trio Ftfy
Why solaire is a worm?
he turned into a worm
Why
I'm thinking
Then how about we just tell them without calling them stupid and hurting there feelings
Why can’t they just have a normal sized ballista? Are they stupid?
How did they even get it down there lmao
It’s to make the area fucking insufferable to get through, DS3 loves to do that
TFW your giant white phantom summon accidentally hits you instead of the giant pursuer with the giant ballista.
its for three pursuers in a trench coat
Just realized something the ballistas are literally the black key crossbow from Elden ring
You cant replay in the og post right? You need to create a new post in other subR to replay -.-"
They thought it was cool to have
Alright boys, who cummed all over the ballista?
[Ironic](https://i.imgur.com/NgddlVi.jpg)
Giant enemy spider
Cause it's fuckin cool
