When you meet him under the earth in Lost Izalith, he’s hostile. You have no choice but to kill him or run away, but the former is probably a kinder choice. Once slain, he speaks what may be the saddest line in the game: “My Sun… it’s setting… It’s dark, so dark…” So, let’s learn how to not let that happen! Destructoid named Solaire one of their favorite new video game characters of 2011, calling him "the embodiment of selfless camaraderie and generosity", as well as "bat-shit crazy". [1] He was also called a "total badass" by Eurogamer. [6] The mission to save Solaire was called one of the 20 most unique sidequests in video game history by GamesRadar+, saying that "if there ever was an NPC worth saving, it would be him". [9] Matthew Byrd of Den of Geek called him the third best video game NPC, stating that "Solaire of Astora is everything that you’re not expecting to find in Dark Souls. He’s optimistic, friendly, and, if you play your cards right, helpful". [10]

The "Praise the Sun" gesture was conceived prior to the character of Solaire, and was a rare holy gesture used in Demon's Souls upon casting a miracle while wearing the "Ring of Sincere Prayer". [2] The game's director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, secretly left the gesture in the game, despite being told by the game's publisher that the pose was not "cool enough" upon physically demonstrating it. From then on, the pose gained personal significance to him, and he was determined to also include it in Dark Souls. [2] Miyazaki created the character of Solaire to bring recognition to the gesture and make it more popular, purposely positioning him as a "champion" who is the first truly helpful NPC that most players see in the game.

Veteran players might find great reasons to revisit Lordran even if they've already faced down Gwyn.

Dark Souls - Solaire of Astora Amiibo (Nintendo Switch)

Great article. My big wish is they'd release the red base Bowser Jr amiibo they planned for Mario party Star Rush. It exists but was shelved when the (brilliant, by the way!) game didn't do as well as they hoped. He looks so cute. I'd love a Toadette, Shy Guy, Birdo and Kamek amiibo too 💕 This Darkest Dungeon mod adds Dark Souls' greatest praiser of the sun". pcgamer . Retrieved 2018-02-19. The fourth child is unknown, a god of war, whose symbol the warriors of sunlight wear. There is a lot of evidence to suggest it’s actually the Nameless King from Dark Souls III, but either way, perhaps Solaire’s lineage is linked in some way. Whatever it may be, if you follow the questline below, you can save him, and let him live out his dreams. If you’d rather chat to Solaire, go ahead, but after this is where things get serious. If you head to Lost Izalith via the standard route, Solaire is hostile, and you either have to kill him or just leave him down there to suffer in his own madness. We don’t want that.

In that same first meeting, he says, “Now that I am Undead, I have come to this great land, the birthplace of Lord Gwyn, to seek my very own sun!” So, a simple start: Solaire is undead, but wasn’t before and remembers it. He has come to Lordran looking for his own sun. Does that mean he wants to link the flame? Is that why he became undead?

You can summon a 1-Up Mushroom in Super Mario 3D World. In Bowser's Fury, you can summon a Super Mushroom. James Davenport of PC Gamer praised Solaire as "a human-shaped reminder that other people are all we have", also saying that the character was "why I so often rally against the 'get good' ethos that so many misguided Dark Souls players cling to".
