Luckily the DLC has done little to impact my theories. Really, it was its own little separate story in fact.

However, it has actually imoacted something.. First; really quick summary of my Pharros theory. Pharros wanted a Lord Soul to make more contraptions. He convinced Nashandra to seduce Vendrick into stealing it. He then stole Nito's soul, leavinh Shandra with a sliver to sate her power lust. Eventually he made it to Black Gulch made the poison statues and became the Rotten. (can expand on that if anyone wants me to)

Anyhow; the same statues are found in Shulva, both a poison spitting variety, and a petrifying one. Which means either Pharros at one point visited Sanctum City, either built the ones there or got the design from there, or.. He didn't make them at all.

Hm.. I think visiting Shulva's more likely. Somehow he reached the Pristess' Chamber, and saw the petrifying ones and began working on his poison shooting ones in the middle of the City. Once back in Black Gulch he realized there weren't as easily accessible materials.. And that's when he started using dead Hollows.

Aha! Got it! Now just to add that to my theory stuff.. Mainly posted just to talk myself through it. I think better posting on the wiki. Still if anyone has other theories I'd love to hear them. :) (particularily with the statues, here, though I doubt many people have thought on them)
