One theory that carried a bit of clout, on GameFAQs at least, was that the pendant was related to a secret covenant.
GAMEFAQS 3D DOT GAME HEROES SOFTWARE
Many people believe that the pendant’s secret may be that well hidden.īack in 2012 on GameFAQs, it was common for people to draw this parallel between the obscurity of the pendant’s use and that amusingly buried 3D Dot Game Heroes secret (3D Dot Game Heroes was a PS3 Zelda-like published by From Software in 2009). This secret wasn't discovered until years after the game’s release. There was this one hidden sign under a rock that took 255 times examining it to reveal the sign. Wouldn't you think someone would have found the use by now?Ī: The thing is that From also partook in another game called 3D Dot Heroes. However due to the developers recommendation of this item and the overall mystery of the so called ‘useless’ item, it has brought along many questions and theories of what is the true use of this pendant. Q: What’s the point of this topic? The pendant is useless!Ī: Normally, yes. Here’s Pokerkid777, posting on GameFAQs back in 2012 in a Q&A style, and edited for clarity: Everyone was too busy posting more feasible pendant theories.

Games are rife with closed doors and brambled paths that cannot be traversed, and few think twice before moving on. People who play a lot of games instinctively know whether a closed passage is window-dressing or a secret. It wasn’t especially well thought out, nor well received, but I was convinced that the boarded-up passage led somewhere, pendant-related or not. I signed up for a GameFAQs account and posited this theory. Perhaps to the vast open air fields visible from the graveyard near Firelink Shrine and east of the New Londo Ruins. If you peer through the boards at the right angle, a bleak cobbled road leads down a set of stairs, turns a corner, and leads… surely somewhere. This boarded-up passage, which lay directly to the right if you enter the Lower Undead Burg near the pack of wild dogs, didn’t and still doesn’t look like window-dressing. There’s a boarded-up passageway in the Lower Undead Burg, and I believed these boards could somehow be dismantled with some obscure use of the pendant. When I did sleep, I dreamed of Dark Souls and I dreamed of the pendant.

I stopped leaving the house, I stopped reading books, I slept significantly fewer hours. It wasn’t until I witnessed others obsessing over the pendant that I realised how potentially bottomless this game really was. Except no Dark Souls player back in 2011 believed it: there was a sustained and thorough online effort to discover what this pendant really did.
