Locations of the Loyce Knights

Loyce Knights will help you in the fight against the Burnt Ivory King. There are four in total.

• One
  The first can be found in the Inner Wall area. To get to him, follow the usual path until you reach the three golems surrounding a chest. Head to the right, where the ice was previously blocking passage. Follow this path until you reach a door. Open it and talk to the Eleum Loyce knight who is sitting in the chair.

• Two
  The second can be found once you reach the Lower Garrison bonfire. From this bonfire, open the gate to the ice cavern and continue down. Once in the cavern with the Covetous Demon, look for a passage in the leftmost wall. Follow it and head right. Follow this path until you reach an elevator. Take the elevator up and head up the hill. Once at the top of the hill you will reach a temple. Open the doors to the temple, and talk to the Eleum Loyce knight who is sitting in the chair.

• Three
  The third can be found near the invasion position of Castaway Witch Donna. To reach him, you need to start at the Abandoned Dwelling bonfire, run until you reach the ramparts. Then go down the staircase that was blocked by ice, and continue until you reach the bottom of the area. Once at the bottom, head out through the tunnel and unlock the shortcut, which will allow you to run from the Inner Wall bonfire to the knight very easily. Once you have dispatched Castaway Witch Donna, open the doors to the temple, and talk to the Eleum Loyce knight who is sitting in the chair.

• Four
  The fourth and final knight is already ready to fight the Burnt Ivory King, staying on a raised platform behind the fog gate.

  In the Lower Garrison area, before the bonfire.
• Holy Knight Aurheim

Notes

• Most of the loot, the Expulsion Chamber bonfire, and the Lower Garrison bonfire will be inaccessible until you defeat Aava, the King's Pet and speak to Alsanna, Silent Oracle.
• The difficulty of this area means that generally shades do not last long enough to help release the Loyce Knights. After clearing the ice you can use a bonfire ascetic at the Outer Wall bonfire to allow summoning of phantoms. This of course increases the difficulty and respawns Aava but it's worth it as the areas where the Loyce Knights are waiting have some difficult enemies that are best to take on in a group.
• Torches will immediately extinguish when the area is under a blizzard.
