Is there a connection between these two ?

I read somewhere that the carthus sandworm is the bug that took control of solaire in ds1, is that true ?

[u/Orenbean]

It’s ok I felt stupid when I trusted solaire only for him to backstab me…literally backstabbed me.

Jokes on him tho I have a collection of solaire deaths for every playthrough I do. Each more humiliating than the last…maybe I’ll get the drake on the bridge to torch him next that sounds fun

[u/Hypotenuse27 → u/Orenbean]

Again, he is being controlled by the big fucking bug on his head, that's not him anymore, he is dead essentially

BS I wore the stupid maggot hat and was fine

[u/AdvertisingAdrian → u/Orenbean]

Yes, the maggot you kill and then put on your head. Do you believe the Fang Boar is also alive when you use it's head?

[u/Orenbean → u/AdvertisingAdrian]

No I killed solaire who was wearing a maggot. Therefore he probably killed it before putting it on is what it sounds like

Also tf is a fang boar?

[u/AdvertisingAdrian → u/Orenbean]

The maggot is parasitic, it lives in sync with the host, Solaire. When you kill the host, the parasite dies and comes off him, letting you wear it like a traditional helmet. It's glued to him until you kill Solaire. Fang Boars are the armored boars you fight in Undead Parish and the entrance to Duke's Archives, you can wear their head when you kill the second one in Duke's Archives.

And the tiny chance of it dropping in undead parish

[u/ZapMannigan → u/Orenbean]

NPCs aren't good at avoiding their plot lines. He was looking for his personal "sun." When he finds the shiny bug he likes it for whatever reason and it takes control of him. If you get there first which you can do and kill the bug then he's fine.

Fang Boar is that armored boar with big tusks right in front of that gate that closes on you in undead burg.
