SPECULATION YAY

so what if the OIK actually IS the firstborn. in ng+ he holds supposedly his fathers soul, and trading it to straid will get you the blinding bolt miracle which is said to have been made and later forbidden by Gwyn.

unrelated theory, the Chosen Undead from the previous game, the player had all those souls, like the First to Give us Death, the Old King, the Paledrake. and some description says that "(something or someone) was reborn in death, and became something new," or something similar to that. and that something or someone was split in to many pieces, Nashandra being the smallest. so WAT IF the reason that you can find these old souls in a similar way to the prequel is because those are the split pieces of the Chosen Undead. sounds plausible in a way, right?
