Description


Though at first glance this netherwold traveler might appear nondescript and mundane, its lightning fast sword technique tells a different story. Who is this nimble warrior of shadow and from whom did he learn this deadly art? The mysteries of the Dark Chasm are as numerous as the murderous eyes glinting from its shadowy corners.1

  • Ricard's Rapier
  • Target Shield
  • Elite Knight Set

  • Bonfire Ascetic (rare)

Notes


  • Can use Estus to heal.
  • There's an easy way to kill him. Instead of walking into the tunnel to where he is, walk to the left where Havel was standing, and kill the nearby Forest Spirit. Ricard will come out from the entrance near where he's standing. Have a Greatbow ready, and start shooting him. You can either knock him into a hole to kill him, or you can just keep firing until he dies. It takes a few greatarrows, but it's safer than going into a melee fight with him.
