10 Secret Video Game Rewards You Had No Idea Existed
2. Saving Private Solaire - Dark Souls
Solaire of Astora is a beloved character from Dark Souls that needs no introduction. Unfortunately, like most characters in the game, he is doomed to suffer a horrible fate.
Unless you know a secret trick to prevent it!
Normally, after you step into the Lost Izalith, Solaire will turn hollow, and you will have no other option but to put him down. This is because in his quest to “praise the sun,” the knight finds a Sunlit Maggot there that saps his life force away.
To prevent Solaire’s doom, you have to get to the maggot before he does, and this means reaching the Lost Izalith earlier than expected. To do this, you need to join the secret covenant of the Daughters of Chaos, which you can find behind an illusory wall near Quelaag’s Domain, and donate 30 Humanity to its leader, the White Lady.
The leader will unlock a shortcut to the Lost Izalith, and then saving Solaire is as easy as killing the nine red-eyed bugs that spawn the Sunlit Maggot.
This will not only spare Solaire’s life but will also allow you to summon him during the final fight with Gwyn to make the finale all easier but also more epic!
