Yes I know the joke is outdated, but whatever. Spoilers once again for a game that came out a good while ago.
So I was thinking more about how the whole Lucatiel quest goes down, when I noticed something.The trophy for inheriting Lucatiel’s equipment is unique.
For one, the other trophies depict quite conclusively the NPC in question, but not Lucatiel’s. In Lucatiel's, It shows someone wearing the equipment *Lucatiel gives to the player*, which wouldn’t be odd on it’s own, but stay with me here.
Throughout the game whenever you summon her, Lucatiel is using the equipment you inherit from her as well as a Mirrah shield, which you specifically do not get due to one already being in a hidden chest in earthen peak.
So if the Trophy is meant to depict the namesake, why does the person in Lucatiel’s *not have her shield*?
I think that it’s actually the player there.
In addition to not having the shield, the figure depicted is actively swinging the Mirrah Greatsword, being only one of two inheritance trophies to depict someone fighting. Another reason I suspect it may be the player is due to the fact that many would try to use the greatsword at least a little after obtaining it, and near immediately after Lucatiel’s bonfire is the invasion from her (presumed) Brother, Aslatiel.
Another thing that makes Lucatiel’s trophy unique is the name of it. Whenever you inherit most NPC equipment, the corresponding trophy is a set of words that describes the NPC. (Reflections on Disembodiment for Vengarl, Smith For Life for McDuff, etc.). But for Lucatiel’s, it’s just.... Lucatiel. It makes sense for several reasons. First, Lucatiel is the only person (aside form Drummond) who is dying when we receive their equipment, which makes the trophy seem more like an effort to remember the name of the one who we got it from, which also lines up with some of the last words she ever says the to the player. “ My name is Lucatiel./I beg of you, remember my name./For I may not myself… “ The simplicity also seems to reflect a more serious attitude about it. (i know that trophies aren’t technically part of the lore but I like to think of them like the inner monologue of the player character keeping track of what they’ve accomplished)
I just wish we got more time with her. More lore, more summons, and more quest. I feel like she should’ve been one of the phantoms we can summon for the Throne of want, like Vengarl and Benhart, since all three are essentially seasoned soldiers who bond with and seem important to the Bearer of the Curse.
Also sorry if you subjected yourself to reading that.

Dead Dreams Often I think what could have been, if I hadn't let my dreams pass away. Now I mourn them, see their ghostly forms, hear their spectral howls of woe and regret as they drift through the grey of my mind. But still, I call to them, reach out to them, ache for them to take me away, to release me from my bond, but they are not real, just the grainy memories of the life I could have lived. ~ Nick Adigu Burke ~ Image Credit: darksouls1 (Pixabay) Poem: Nick Adigu Burke #poetry #love #quotes #art #poem #writer #writersofinstagram #poetrycommunity #writing #poetsofinstagram #music #poems #poet #inspiration #artist #life #thoughts #wordporn #words #philosophy #photography #writersofig #writers #poetsofig #lovequotes #quote #inspirationalquotes #quotesoftheday #beautiful #feelings (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVDFx_smbZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

~ Beyond Memory ~ Is it wrong to believe the Breeze, when I hear you voice clear upon it? Or wrong to believe the Trees, when they build your image amid their leaves? Then it must be wrong to believe the Clouds, when your name billows among them. Wrong to believe the Zephyr, when I feel your fingers comb my hair. Then it must be wrong too, to believe the Sun, when I feel your body caress me. But, tell me, if it's wrong, then, is it right for Death to have snatched you from me? Or right for Nature's beauty to replicate the beauty of you? Why is it right to make me believe you exist beyond memory? To make what they mock as fantasy, reality. The tears I cry, the pain that stabs my heart, is not only grief for what we lost, but grief for what we'll never gain. The most beautiful song silenced, the most beautiful life-source drained. ~ Nick Adigu Burke ~ Image Credit: darksouls1 (Pixabay) Words: Nick Adigu Burke #poetry #love #quotes #art #poem #writer #writersofinstagram #poetrycommunity #writing #poetsofinstagram #music #poems #poet #inspiration #artist #life #ghostpoem #wordporn #words #philosophy #photography #writersofig #writers #poetsofig #lovequotes #feelings #inspirationalquotes #grief #beautiful #ghosts (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn368xnquzq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
