In Japanese Frampt and Kaathe are referred to as the “World Snake" or 世界の蛇 (sekai no hebi) which may refer to "Ningishzida" who is the "Earth-Snake" in Sumerian mythology who is two serpents connected, sometimes with human faces. Ningishzida is the origin of Hermes, the messenger of the gods, symbolized by the "Caduceous." The Caduceus Shield in Dark Souls depicts Fraampt and Kaathe connected with heads on opposite sides.
They appear opposed but actually serve the same ultimate goal.

>Shitton of Serpent statues in DS3 >That leak that claimed you would fight Kaathe in Lothric castle
I mean I get From loves being ambigous and there is no more ambigiuity than not giving you anything, but fuck me did I want to know more about these snake fucks
The world-serpent doesn't have two heads you dumb nigger.

Not him In the dark ending of DaS1 Frampt was a side switching faggot anyways so we can assume Kaathe is also. They support whoever has the most power and leech off that power to continue having influence on the world.

>the whole fucking bunch of screenshots and leaked gameplay of DaS3 bamco cheated us. fuck them.
This is literally "my dad works at nintendo" tier shit you faggot
Logan Brooks
why do you assume that both are seperate just because they have opposing statements for the player? what if right or wrong is irrelevant as long as a choice is made, and the being that is both of them, and all the other world snakes too, simply tells people what they need to hear to act?
It's neat to see From do something different but didn't they just strip out all the interesting and unique stuff from Souls?

You don't know how game development works, shut the fuck up

Lore is better in Sekiro than all other games. The other complaints are tranny complaints.

>Two serpents But why were there so many of them?
Christopher Garcia
The top part is actually true, the bottom is pure fanfiction and I don't understand why it's included in the image
Jeremiah Lopez
I could never bring myself to play DS2 and 3 for two reasons
-No interconnected world with sequence breaking and shortcuts -Shitting the bed with lore, completely
Anthony Stewart
What does this have to do with Elden Ring?
Nathan Reed
As much as this looked great I'm so fucking glad they didn't include all your equipped items on your back like that, makes rolling look even more stupid.
Jaxon Foster
It's not a Souls game so why compare it to Souls? It's like shitting Demon Souls and saying it's not a From game because it lacks mechs >No neat ambiguous lore Good, fuck this lazy shit Either have lore or don't because the guessing game isn't really lore especially when you can never know if anything is real or not
I always thought The serpents where inspire by norse mitology snake Jörmungandr the one who start the raknarok (the end of the gods)and the same time by the uroboros snake (represent an edless cycle)

>connected with heads on opposite sides. does the lore say anything about how they go number 2?
In my headcanon the serpents are literally just the primordial beings which every other being originated from. They got the worst combination of everything but they have it all in them. They have human like features but are also imperfect dragons and their moustache is what evolved to wings on dragons You CANNOT disprove this!!
