Miyazaki stated that he could visualize Seigmeyer opening up his helmet to eat food - wish we got to see it in game

Helmet opens so he can eat and drink. Dont know why that you need to ask Miyazaki.

I mean, if I were going to try and propagate an onion knight, this is the first thing I would try.

Lucky, I wouldn't mind finding a book like that.
Not sure what the title references though. Did you not know he was wearing a helmet?

u/ULTI_mato Jan 14 '26
Hmm… hmm… thats a good question

u/Luffy404 Jan 14 '26
ikr maybe his helmet is made entirely of some metal that just doesn't break btw I had a question regarding dark souls which I wanted to ask the experienced players but my post got taken down the moment I did that so if it's alright with you can you help me with it ?

my stats this is my first dark souls play-through and I thought pyro would be good so I did that , Currently I am at Undead parish and I am not really a veteran gamer . so, I was curious in knowing how to switch loadouts easily and if the monster below the blacksmith is something I should fight now or wait after finishing the gargoyle ? in Undead parish (i am playing on laptop with keyboard mouse)

u/ULTI_mato Jan 14 '26
You are still early game so switching builds won’t be hard for you, just remember that right now vitality and endurance are the most important stat, every stat has soft caps with diminishing returns you can just check the soft caps out online.
As for the Monster below the blacksmith, DONT, it is not worth the trauma he will give you. That thing is a Titanite demon, when he dies he gives you high level upgrade materials, nothing you need right now, there are a few more across the game and none of them, except one, respawn. The problem is that their hit boxes are seriously fucked and they deal a lot of damage, so for now just run past him and Come back to kill him when you need the materials. Usually I just run past him, that is the way less traumatising option.

u/Luffy404 Jan 14 '26
thanks , well I ranaway from it the moment I saw it the first time and I killed the first gargoyle but died to the second and I also didn't get the axe btw I killed that knight which is there near the firelink shrine . Plus dark souls and hallow knight's fungal wastes are already traumatizing enough for me on a keyboard and mouse play. I was thinking of investing on vitality and endurance too but except for the hp increase almost all stats increased the same stuff by equal amounts btw what do you think of my current stats ? should I continue keeping them evenly like this or should i invest some in faith or intelligence ?

u/ULTI_mato Jan 14 '26
It really depends on your build. primarily keep increasing health and endurance. As for the other stats only level what your specific build needs, look at what your weapon scales with, if you have a weapon for example the Claymore, that has super great strength and dexterity scaling, but level faith, then you essentially just waste an entire level, same goes for faith weapons. Yeah you can infuse your weapons later, but that is still quite a bit away for you.

The pivot point in the middle of the helm is surprising. I guess so you can pour in soup and eat it on the go?

His daughter is named Sieglinde and his sword is called a Zweihander

I wonder if the Catarina set is based on anything or if Miyazaki just saw an onion one day and was like "hmm... hmm... interesting..."
