### General Information

---

- Requires King's Ring to access.
- Throne Defender &amp; Throne Watcher are available by default. To access Nashandra you need to have Giant's Kinship. Having the Kinship before fighting Throne Defender &amp; Throne Watcher will make Nashandra walk into the arena in a special cutscene once the previous boss has been killed. After defeating Nashandra, an optional fight against Aldia, Scholar Of The First Sin may occur; see his article for more information.
- After obtaining the Giant's Kinship, Emerald Herald appears right after the King's Gate and tells you more about herself.
