Lore

The twisted form of King Vendrick's brother, his human body was cast away as a result of his terrible experiments into the curse of the undead.
Seeking to obtain immortality as a means of averting the undead curse, he experimented on the Giants in his manor.
Thinking the dragons could hold the answer to immortality, he used the souls of Giants to recreate an Ancient Dragon.

General Information

Added in patch 1.10 of the Scholar of the First Sin update, Aldia appears as a new NPC that the player will encounter several times throughout their journey. Having been only previously known through item descriptions that depicted Aldia's attempts to recreate an Ancient Dragon as a means of obtaining immortality, he was never visually encountered and it could only be speculated as to what happened to him. With the new patch, Aldia serves as an NPC to help fill in the gaps of the lore of Drangleic as well as explain what ultimately happened in his experiments to obtain immortality.

After visiting him in three unique locations and having defeated Vendrick, he can be fought as a new final boss after Nashandra is defeated. You can choose to leave, prompting an alternate ending, similar to the ending of the first Dark Souls.

Location

Black Gulch, Sinner's Rise, Brightstone Cove Tseldora, or Iron Keep:
You will first encounter Aldia at the last of the four primal bonfires that represent the Old Ones that you have lit. If you are playing a character that has already lit all four primal bonfires, then he will appear at Black Gulch. After exhausting all of his dialogue, he will disappear, moving on to the next location.

Undead Crypt:
Aldia will appear at the entrance of the Crypt as soon as you exit the elevator from Shrine of Amana. The first bonfire will have been moved to the center of the main hall where Aldia will wait for you. Exhausting his dialogue once again will move him to his final location.

Dragon Shrine:
Aldia's final appearance will be at the bonfire as soon as you enter the Shrine.

Summons

• Benhart of Jugo
  • Found to the left of the boss fog. Only available if you've progressed his quest.
• Head of Vengarl
  • Found to the right of the boss fog. Only available if you completed his quest.
• Bashful Ray
  • Small white sign. In the Ruin Sentinels/Stone Soldiers room, near one of the two torch-holding golem statues in the back. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin only.
• Pilgrim Bellclaire
  • Small white sign. Outside of the Dragonriders boss room. Can be brought down to this boss fight if the path is cleared first. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin only.
• Bradley of the Old Guard
  • Found to the left of the fog gate. Only available if Aldia is ready to show up after Nashandra. Check his page for additional information. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin only.

Note: A maximum of 3 summons can be used at once.

Drops

• Aldia is unique in that he is the only boss in the game that does not drop any souls or items.

Moveset

Fire Mass:
Shoots four homing fire masses in quick succession.

Fire Orb:
Builds a large fire orb over his head and fires it at the player after five or so seconds.

Homing Branches:
Shoves a single appendage into the floor, creating a succession of wood pillars which encircles the player.

AoE Branches:
Shoves multiple appendages in the floor, creating a number of small fire AoEs from which wood pillars shoot up after a few moments.

Teleport:
Vanishes momentarily, and then re-emerges elsewhere in the boss room with an AoE attack.

Strategies

• Do not attack when Aldia is immersed in flames, you will take damage from the flames, and your attacks will do very little damage
• Aldia is weak when he is not immersed in flames (after his teleport AOE attack, while he is charging his large fire orb, and during the multi-pillar attack)
• His damage is mostly fire-based, so casting Flash Sweat and wearing the Flame Quartz Ring +3 will help with damage reduction
• His flame attacks can be blocked, with minimal damage taken, using a fire infused shield (e.g., Rebel's Greatshield). But you are likely to be staggered nevertheless, as his attacks deal significant stamina damage.
• A Gyrm Greatshield has 100% fire reduction and at +10 some of the highest stability in the game.

Notes

• If you die fighting him you don't need to defeat Nashandra again in order for him to spawn.
• Upon Aldia's defeat, you are given two endings to choose from. You can choose to either take the Throne which is the default ending prior to patch 1.10, or you can choose to leave the Throne, which is the new alternate ending.
• There is a glitch in which Aldia will simply remain immersed in flames for the entire fight, allowing you to attack freely but you can still die from the flames and you still do very little damage.
• During his appearance at any of the aforementioned bonfires, he is completely immune to damage, and attacking him will cause your weapon to bounce off if certain parts of his body are struck.
• Assuming that the Shrine of Winter is passed with X million souls instead of visiting the four Primal Bonfires, and future bonfires that Aldia is meant to spawn from are visited, Aldia's questline can still be done. Returning to the Primal Bonfires for his initial meeting will cause him to spawn on future bonfires waiting for you, even though they have already been lit.
• Although Aldia is vulnerable to damage during his multi-pillar attack, approaching him to attack during this phase is dangerous.

• Meeting Aldia near one of the Primal Bonfires
  No one has come this far, not for a very long while.
  Young Hollow, do you wish to shed this curse?
  Then accept the fate of your ilk, and face the trials that await you.
  Unless, you have already joined the crestfallen.
  
  Young Hollow, there are but two paths. Inherit the order of this world, or destroy it.
  But only a true monarch can make such a choice.
  Very few, indeed, have come even this far.
  And yet, your journey is far from over.
  Half-grown Hollow, have you what it takes, truly?
  
  Young Hollow, seek after Vendrick.
  He who almost became a true monarch.
  Vendrick is certain to guide your way.
  Fledgeling Hollow, may we meet again.
  
  * Meeting Aldia in the Undead Crypt.
  Heheh, I believe we've been acquainted.
  Young Hollow, conqueror of fear.
  What drives you so, to overcome this supposed curse?
  
  Life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession.
  Some are true to their purpose, though they are but shells, flesh and mind.
  One man lost his own body, but lingered on, as a head.
  Others chase the charms of love, however elusive.
  What is it that drives you?
  
  Once, the Lord of Light banished Dark, and all that stemmed from humanity.
  And men assumed a fleeting form.
  These are the roots of our world.
  Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite…
  A lie will remain a lie.
  Young Hollow, knowing this, do you still desire peace?
  
  * Answering Yes or No
  Vendrick, the near-true monarch, is here, and not far off.
  But what is a king?
  You, neither born with greatness, nor granted it by the fates.
  What is it that you seek?
  You cannot even say yourself.
  We shall meet again, young Hollow.
  
  * Meeting Aldia in Dragon Shrine
  Young Hollow.
  How you grapple, without falter, with this dreadfully twisted world.
  
  Peace grants men the illusion of life.
  Shackled by falsehoods, they yearn for love, unaware of its grand illusion.
  Until, the curse touches their flesh.
  We are bound by this yoke.
  As true as the Dark that churns within men.
  
  All men trust fully the illusion of life.
  But is this so wrong?
  A construction, a facade, and yet…
  A world full of warmth and resplendence.
  Young Hollow, are you intent on shattering the yoke, spoiling this wonderful falsehood?
  
  * Answering Yes or No.
  I am Aldia.
  I sought to shed the yoke of fate, but failed.
  Now, I only await an answer.
  Seek the throne.
  Seek light, Dark and what lies beyond…
  
  * Meeting Aldia in The Throne of Want
  Many monarchs have come and gone.
  One drowned in poison, another succumbed to flame.
  Still another slumbers in a realm of ice.
  Not one of them stood here, as you do now.
  You, conqueror of adversities.
  Give us your answer.
  
  * After defeating Aldia
  I lost everything, but remained here, patiently.
  The throne will certainly receive you.
  But the question remains…
  What do you want, truly?
  Light? Dark? Or something else entirely…
  
  * Game Ending Narration
  There is no path.
  Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark…
  …what could possibly await us?
  And yet, we seek it, insatiably…
  Such is our fate.

Description

This child of Dark, in reverence of the apocalypse, devotes herself to a ritual in hopes of appeasing the raging flame.¹

She guards the entrance to the Old Chaos. You can talk to her while standing on the podium in the great hall. If you agree to fulfill her only wish, she ceases the blizzard that has frozen Eleum Loyce, allowing you to explore new areas on the level and face the Burnt Ivory King.

The ice on the stairs leading to her gradually disappears the more Loyce Souls you hold. See rewards below.

Location

Grand Cathedral
Found at the top of the staircases in the Grand Cathedral.

Rewards

After you have defeated the Burnt Ivory King, Alsanna will ask you to collect more Loyce Souls. Keep killing the Charred Loyce Knights in the Old Chaos to acquire them.

Once you reach fifty souls, she will remove her ice roots completely from the staircase, and you will be able to talk to her directly.

Drops

• Soul of Alsanna, Silent Oracle if she hasn't already given it to you for collecting 50 Loyce Souls.

Notes

• She is the reincarnation of the fears of Manus, the Father of the Abyss as stated in her dialogue.
• Once you have the stairs cleared of the ice and you have defeated the Burnt Ivory King, Maughlin the Armourer will add the Ivory King Set to his inventory. Requires that you cleared the stairs by giving Loyce Souls; killing her to clear them does not work.
• You can kill her for the soul.
• Will not aggro if attacked.

Dialogue

All dialogue text is © From Software Inc.

• Approaching Eleum Loyce for the first time
  You, approaching Eleum Loyce,
  Turn back.
  The old Chaos hungers still.

• Approaching Aava, the King's Pet fog gate
  Go back.
  Aava is watching.
  Go back.

• Approaching Eye of the Priestess
  Turn away.
  And never look back.
  No one must ever find
  that which is sheltered in Eleum Loyce.

• First Conversation in the Cathedral
  To think Aava could be bested…
  Who are you?
  This land is barren,
  Cursed, by the old Chaos.
  It gave birth to atrocities,
  and the people fled in fear.
  Until our lord, the Ivory King, came.

• Second time talked to.
  My dear lord, a most true king.
  It was with his magnificent soul
  that he built Eleum Loyce…
  …and contained the spread of Chaos.
  But the Chaos would not be sated,
  and the King gave his own soul.

• Third time talked to.
  Inevitably, the King was drained of vigor,
  and plunged into the Chaos' heart.
  Eleum Loyce was frozen in time, it's leader lost…
  I remain here, to contain the Chaos,
  honouring my Lord's wishes.
  Perhaps one day, he will return…
  There's nothing here,
  save that accursed flame…

• Fourth time talked to.
  I have but one wish.
  That my Lord might be freed
  from that unspeakable Chaos.
  I haven't the strength to help him myself,
  but perhaps one such as you…
  Though I am yet to know your name,
  stranger, will you lend me your strength?

• Answering No
  Then be gone.
  There's nothing here, nothing at all.

• Speaking to her again if answered No previously
  Stranger.
  Are you now prepared to plunge into Chaos?

• Answering Yes
  Kind visitor, I thank you.
  Let me open the path to Chaos.
  And please, do all you can…

• After answering Yes
  Many of Eleum Loyce's faithful knights
  followed their Lord into the Chaos.
  But none of them returned.
  The King's dutiful subjects waited
  patiently for His homecoming.
  But it was too long a wait to bear…
  The knights of Eleum Loyce await a new leader.
  One who will guide them into Chaos.

• After having freed all Loyce Knights
  The knights, reborn will follow your word. //
  
• After killing the Ivory King
  You've granted my one wish…
  Now, I have no regrets.
  I was born amidst the Dark.
  Long ago, in the depths of the Abyss, my Father perished.
  The Dark shattered into tiny pieces, one of which was me.
  How frightened I was.
  A frail thing, born from but a splinter of Dark.
  I felt that I might simply disappear…
  I am, in fact, the incarnation of my Father's fears.
  I sought an anchor, and I saw that a King of this land was strong.
  I sought him only to sustain myself, to smother my fears…
  Now, I realize that he may have known all along.
  I was born of fear, and my Lord provided comfort.
  And so here I remain, heiress to my Lord's wishes, watching over Chaos…
  until the end of time.
  
• Second time talked to her after killing the Ivory King.
  The knights of Eleum Loyce were swallowed by the Chaos…
  where their souls still remain.
  I pray for their deliverance.
  
• After Every Loyce Soul released
  I sense a knight's joyous elation.
  
• After Every 5 Loyce Soul released (for three time)
  I sense a knight's joyous elation.
  Kind visitor, please accept my gratitude.
  
• After 35 Loyce Soul released
  The beings born from the shards of Dark…
  I am not the only one.
  Even Dark seeks solace, and more so, souls.
  Magnificent souls… like your own…
  One day, you may encounter another.
  Another being, born of Dark.
  
• After 50 Loyce Soul released
  Kind visitor. I am not the only being born of Dark.
  You will face hardships like no other. Take this.
  My sisters are as a thick Dark, their lust for souls insatiable…
  May you find the will to resist their desires…
  
• All dialogue exhausted
  Go on, kind visitor.
  May you reach your journey's end, one day.//

• When Killed
  Oh, my dear lord…
  
• Unknown
  Close by, yes, very close…

Description

A warrior originally found sitting on the path between Majula and the Shaded Woods. Benhart came to Drangleic from a far eastern land called Jugo. He is quite attached to his sword, the Bluemoon Greatsword (not to be confused with the Moonlight Greatsword) which he states has been passed along through his family for generations. He is very proud of his heritage and sword, although it is speculated by Magerold of Lanafir that the sword itself is unfortunately a fake.

Locations

Shaded Woods
Before the entrance to the area, sitting on the path waiting for someone to clear the path. After opening the path, he teaches the player the "Joy" gesture.

Drangleic Castle
Sitting next to the Central Castle bonfire.

Forest of Fallen Giants
Sitting in front of the fallen giant past the Pursuer's boss arena.

Memory of Orro
Sitting right in front of the player's spawn, next to the stairs.

Summon Locations

Brightstone Cove Tseldora
At the Royal Army Campsite in one of the nearby tents.

Drangleic Castle
Right before the Looking Glass Knight fog wall.

Memory of Jeigh
At the bottom of the stairs before the fog door. Summoning Captain Drummond will prevent the summoning of Benhart and vice versa.

Throne of Want
To the left of the fog wall.

Dragon's Rest
Between some rubble on the opposite side of the room from the fog door.

Use

• Can be summoned for various boss fights.
• When storyline is completed, he will give you his gear: Benhart's Set and the Bluemoon Greatsword

Questline

To complete Benhart's questline, you must:

1. Exhaust all of his dialogue in all four encounters with him.
2. Summon him at least three times for boss fights and have him survive the boss fight.

• NOTE: You can win the three boss fights by battling the same boss multiple times by the use of a Bonfire Ascetic. For example, you could have him fight Prowling Magus & Congregation twice and then Looking Glass Knight once and that would count as three wins needed for him to give you the equipment.

Benhart is first encountered at the entrace to the Shaded Woods where he speaks to you about a statue that is blocking his path. You will need a Fragrant Branch of Yore to unpetrify the statue who turns out to be Rosabeth of Melfia. Speak to him after unpetrifying Rosabeth and he will thank you and plea to help you in your journey. He can now be summoned for help.

If you continue past the Shaded Woods you will eventually end up in Brightstone Cove Tseldora. His summon sign is found in a tent which has a target dummy. It is recommended to clear the path to the Prowling Magus & Congregation fog gate before summoning him, as he can fall off a cliff or get crushed by the boulders when chasing after enemies.

Next he can be encountered in Drangleic Castle next to the Central Castle bonfire. Exhaust his dialogue here to be able to summon him for the Looking Glass Knight boss fight. His summon sign is located right in front of the boss fog gate.

His next hangout is in the Forest of Fallen Giants right next to one of the fallen giants past the Pursuer's boss arena. After exhausting his dialogue he will go inside the giant right next to him and enter Memory of Orro. Speaking to him in the Memory allows him to be summoned in Memory of Jeigh for the Giant Lord boss fight. Be warned, summoning Captain Drummond for the Giant Lord prevents you from summoning Benhart. He will stay in Memory of Orro, he will not move or disappear.

His last summon sign is right outside of the fog gate in Throne of Want. He can be summoned for both the Throne Defender and Throne Watcher and Nashandra boss fights, though only the Nashandra boss fight counts towards the three required fights (is this confirmed?).

Based on this it may be wise to, after defeating the Throne Defender and Throne Watcher, to save & quit to the main menu so that you can freshly summon Benhart for Nashandra.

You can go back and speak to him in Memory of Orro or Drangleic Castle to receive his equipment.

You can summon Benhart for the DLC boss Elana, Squalid Queen. This also counts for his quest line.

Event Items

Drops

• Bluemoon Greatsword

Videos

• Benhart of Jugo's complete side quest

Notes

• If one speaks with Maughlin the Armourer with the Bluemoon Greatsword in their inventory he will confirm that the sword is indeed a fake.

Dialogue

• When first encountered in the entrance to Shaded Woods
  1. Have you business with me?
     The way yonder's all blocked up you see. By this god-awful statue.
     Heavens above. Who thought it a good idea to put it there!
  2. Ohhhh, I'm in quite the pickle now.
     See that statue? Gives me the willies. Stare at it for long enough, it starts to look alive.
     Ach, It just does nae seem quite right. There are no craftsmen round these parts.
     Hey, you don't think a real-life person was turned to stone, do you?

• Talk after clearing the path to Shaded Woods
  1. What?! Clearing the way was your doing, was it?
     Haah, didn't think you had it in yer pal.
     No no no. That's not like it sounds, you know! It was a pleasant surprise, that's all.
     Name's Benhart. Thanks to you, I can resume my journey.
     If we share the same path, I'm sure that we are gonna meet again.
     I'll repay my debt to you in battle. And I swear it by my sword.
     The road ahead's gonna be long, but I'm here to help. Gah hah hah hah hah!
  2. I am in yer debt.
     It's a true man who honours his debts. And I'll see mine paid.
     I swear it, by my ancient sword.

• When first encountered in Drangleic Castle
  1. Ho! Well met, friend.
     Good to see you well. Yes, hehh hehh, very good indeed.
  2. I journeyed from the distant east to perfect my swordsmanship.
     Legend has it that powerful beings slumber in this land.
     This sword, it's been in my family for generations. And only a real man can wield it true.
     I may face any manner of man or beast, but none shall be a match for my sword. Heh heh heh heh…
  3. This land is a right mess, eh?
     King's gone, and the people have a mad glint in their eyes.
     The land itself is overrun by terrible beasts.
     No better place to test my sword, ey? Heh heh heh heh…

• When first encountered in Forest of the Fallen Giants
  1. Well, we meet again! What you doing here?
     Who'dve thought we'd meet in a place like this.
     Fate just won't let us stay apart, will she? Gah hah hah hah hah hah!
  2. See the old sword's caught your attention? Well, you've a good eye, then.
     Ah, it's been in my family for generations.
     They say it is crafted with moonlight, and we all know what that means, it wards off evil.
     And I would nae trade her for all the riches in the world.
     They say that no man has ever teased oot the sword's true power.
     But in the right hands…Heh heh heh heh heh heh…
  3. I see you've taken a liking to the sword. Well, I applaud you, for you've a sharp eye.
     But this is one sword pal that I will nae be giving up.
     If you still insist on having it…
     Then you will have to pry it from my cold hands! Gah hah hah hah hah hah!
  4. I've a great debt to you. And I'll never forget it.
     I, Benhart, swear by my honour, to aid you in your darkest hour! So nae problem pal.

• When first encountered in Memory of Orro
  1. Oh! Look at you! Old friend!
     I see yer travels weigh upon you yet.
     Just remember, I'm always ready to help.
  2. My homeland is in the far east. A kingdom of honourable fighting men.
     And this sword yet awaits a true man to wield it.
     I know how swords think, you see! Gah hah hah hah!

• When giving equipment to the player
  We have outwitted death a good many times.
  Huh huh, My dear friend, take these.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Ooph!

  What in bloody…!

  Enough with that!

• When attacked and aggroed
  Very well. I, Benhart, will be honoured to chop you to pieces.

• When killing the player
  You knew this would happen…

  You're a sorry waste of life…

Description

He is a cleric who provides assistance to his host via miracles. His spirit can be summoned to help in No Man's Wharf, the Shaded Woods and by the Throne of Want.

Location

Only available in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

No Man's Wharf (shade)
Found on the first dock, next to the Hollow Infantry firing burning arrows. Since he uses a small signature, he can be summoned even after the Flexile Sentry is dead.

Shaded Woods
Found in between the two broken towers before Scorpioness Najka. All the Forest Guardians in the ruins past the Shaded Ruins bonfire must be killed first before his sign appears.

Throne of Want
Found next to a pillar to the left side of the fog gate. Only available if Aldia is to be the final boss, although he can be summoned for the Throne Defender and Throne Watcher and Nashandra fights.

Equipment

• Heide Spear
• Disc Chime
• Alva Set

Attacks

• Heal
• Force
• Emit Force
• Heavenly Thunder
• Sunlight Blade

Notes

• If not locked in battle, he heals the player when necessary. If he has trouble reaching the player, he signals his intent by making "I won't bite" gestures.
• He can break all the armor and rings of an invader in a single hit.
• When pressed, he buffs his weapon with Sunlight Blade, making him the only summonable NPC other than Agdayne to have a weapon buff.
• He greets the player with a"duel bow".
• Like Creighton and his axe, his naturally lightning-imbued spear seems to be a fake that does no elemental damage.
• Capable of soloing every boss he is summoned for on all variations of NG.

Description

A traveler who likes cartography.

He is navigating Drangleic with the purpose of creating a map of the continent but he seems to have actually come to Drangleic in search for a cure to the Undead curse. He lives in the mansion in Majula as a squatter. He has found a map carved in stone of what seems to be Drangleic in the mansion's basement. Part of his reasons for making a map of Drangleic is to prove that the map in the mansion is indeed of Drangleic.

Once Creighton the Wanderer has been released, he claims that he saw a man who just looked like someone from his home land Mirrah. The man had been sentenced to death for several murders, only he escaped before his execution. He can't recall his name, but it was something like "Crei.."

Location

Forest of Fallen Giants
In a cave in the open area with giant roots and archers close to the Cardinal Tower bonfire.

Talk to him a few times to get him to give you the House Key, and then talk to him again for him to move to Majula.

Majula
Goes to the basement of the Majula Mansion after all of the following have occurred:

• Dialogue with him is exhausted in the Forest.
• The Last Giant is defeated.
• The basement of the house is cleared of enemies.

Event Items

Questline

To complete his questline, you need to have:

1. Defeated the Last Giant
2. Defeated the Lost Sinner
3. Defeated the Old Iron King
4. Defeated the Rotten
5. Defeated the Duke's Dear Freja
6. Obtained the King's Ring
7. Obtained the Ashen Mist Heart
8. Defeated Throne Defender Throne Watcher

Then speak to him in the mansion and he will give you the reward.

Completing Cale's questline will give you the "Curious Map" trophy/achievement.

Drops

• Cale's Helm
• 800 souls

Notes

• There is a bug where Cale will not move to the Majula house basement after exhausting his dialogue in the Forest of Fallen Giants, defeating the Last Giant, and eliminating the skeleton in the basement. He will disappear from your game for the entire play through. The only known fix to this bug is to use a Bonfire Ascetic at the Majula bonfire and defeat the skeletons again. However, this is not a fool-proof fix; there is a possibility that the game will bug out again (you may need to burn several Ascetics before he appears).

Dialogue

• When first met in Forest of Fallen Giants
  Oh, I'm sorry. I was just…daydreaming, I think.
  My name is Cale. I am a traveller, like yourself.
  I'm navigating the continent to create a map.

• When talking for a second time in Forest of Fallen Giants
  Why cartography, you ask?
  Well…That's a good question…
  When I first came to this forsaken land…
  …It was…um…hmm…?
  Err…A curse…? Err…Something about a curse…
  Hah hah…How embarrassing. I seem to be losing my focus these days.
  But I do know one thing for certain. I have always been very fond of maps.

• When talking for a third time in Forest of Fallen Giants
  I came to this land some time ago.
  Drangleic, the lost kingdom… It sounded so romantic…
  Have you seen Majula? There's a rather spacious mansion there.
  I…I've made it my temporary home. A…As something of a squatter, I'm afraid.

• When talking for a fourth time in Forest of Fallen Giants
  Inside the mansion, I found a strange map. Like none I'd ever seen.
  I believe that it's a map of Drangleic.
  Now I'm travelling the land to prove it.
  Yes, yes, that's it! That's why I came to the kingdom!
  Wait…No, that wasn't it…
  Then what? I don't seem to recall…

• When talking for a fifth time in Forest of Fallen Giants
  Were you looking for that map?
  Wonderful! Then you're fascinated by maps, just like me?!
  Shame on you, you should have told me before!
  Here, take this! A key to the mansion!
  What a joy to meet a kindred spirit out here…

• When talking for a sixth time in Forest of Fallen Giants
  Incredible really, isn't it? Such a map, to be chiselled in stone…
  Oh, but one thing…
  I would not venture deep into the mansion.
  I can't be certain, but… I've heard disturbing noises…
  Something about it feels wrong… Just be careful, please.

• When talking for a seventh time in Forest of Fallen Giants
  I'll be back in Majula soon.
  Perhaps we will meet again, and discuss maps at our leisure!

• When talking for the first time in Majula
  Oh! Hello again!
  You've made it. The map, I presume?
  Of course, take a good look!

• When talking again in Majula
  Did you see the flame on the map?
  It wasn't there when I came here before.
  I don't know what explains it…

• When talking again in Majula
  But there is something greatly comforting about that flame.
  It seems to fulfil something very precious, deep within the soul…
  Something…essential…

• When talking again in Majula
  I would not venture far into that hole.
  It was blocked by a wall, something built long ago.
  But it was crumbling, and I finished the job. Now a foul sound echoes within…

• When talking again in Majula
  Even more flames have appeared.
  I don't know what causes it.

• When talking in Majula after all flames on the map have been lit
  It seems that all the flames have been lit.
  It makes me feel…somehow…
  Wait! What…am I doing here?
  Who are you again?

• When talking in Majula after meeting Creighton once
  Ah yes, there is something I wanted to tell you.
  I was born in the land of Mirrah.
  Mirrah is also the home of an infamous killer, a 'knight' in name alone.
  He was locked in the dungeon for multiple murders. But shortly before his execution, he managed to escape.
  And the other day… I saw a fellow with a striking likeness! And then!
  And then…Wait…
  Well…I think he looked rather similar…
  N-no, it's true! I saw just such a man, I swear!
  I believe his name was…Cr…Cr…err Cray-something…I believe…
  They shared…some resemblance, I…I think…

• When giving equipment to the player
  Fate brought us together for a reason.
  Take these. And may they help you on your travels.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Argh!
  (or)
  Watch it!
  (or)
  Stop that!

• When attacked and aggroed
  I shan't die here!

• When killing the player
  Are you…all right?

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  Shoo, go away!

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  How could you!

• When killed
  My…my map…

• Unknown
  That map…It's spellbinding..

Dialogue

All dialogue text is © From Software Inc.

• When first meeting
  What are you doing here?
  You are not one of our soldiers. And I don't take you for a mercenary.
  Whoever you are, this is no battle to involve yourself in.
  Whether you are guided by bravery, or brashness, this is no place for you.

• When talking a second time
  I am Drummond, and the Lord has placed this fort in my hands.
  Whoever you are, I forgive your trespass. But leave this place immediately.
  Just mention my name, and no man will challenge your exit.
  And even if you don't, by now, my men have not the will to resist.

• When talking a third time
  Soon, the Giants will descend upon this fort.
  It is revenge, for the Kingdom's misguided barbarism.
  The venerable Lord built this kingdom to bring prosperity to His subjects.
  What has transformed him so, I can not imagine.

• When talking a fourth time
  Long ago, the King crossed the seas, pillaged the land of Giants, and brought back a "prize".
  It was then that the golems materialised.
  The Giants are no ordinary barbarians. A singular rage burns within their hearts.
  My father, and his father, both fought the Giants on this very land.
  The Giants have wills of steel.
  They cannot find it within themselves… To forgive the misdeeds of our lord.

• When talking a fifth time
  Did you see him? That towering monster among them.
  That is most certainly their King.
  He will be a thing to topple, hah hah hah hah, even if I should die trying!
  My blade may break, my arrows fall wide, but my will shall never be broken.
  Those who live by the sword will die by it, and I, Drummond, won't go down without drawing mine!

• When talking a sixth time
  Be gone with you, this fort will soon fall.
  Be gone, before the Giants are entirely upon us.

• When giving equipment to the player
  Take these. I think you may just need them.
  Don't ask me why. I just do.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Erg!
  (or)
  How dare you!
  (or)
  Enough with this madness!

• When attacked and aggroed
  You dare to mock me!

• When killing the player
  What a waste.

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  Are you determined to die?

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  Hmph! How very sporting!

• When killed
  I..I am…bested…

• Unknown
  Matters are settled…

Description

A mysterious cloaked figure who is obsessed with getting revenge on Mild Mannered Pate. Although harmless when confronted, his chilling voice and questionable motives leaves him with an aura of suspicion.

He might be from the land of Mirrah, where he was sentenced to death for several murders, only escaping before his execution. This is revealed by Cale the Cartographer.

Location

Huntsman's Copse
Found locked away inside the cell containing the Undead Lockaway bonfire. The Undead Lockaway Key is required to open the door.

When confronted, he will mention that he was traveling with a treasure hunter, Mild Mannered Pate, who attempted to leave him for dead. Weighted down with anger, he vowed to exact his revenge and tried to set up a trap, only to get trapped himself. He will move on after you leave.

Shaded Woods
Can be found near the Ruined Fork Road bonfire on the way to the misty woods. After a startled welcome, he will reveal that Pate lives in Brightstone Cove Tseldora and will make sure he never lives another day.
In Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, Creighton is located at the Shaded Ruins, on the top floor of the right tower near the passage that leads to Scorpioness Najka.

Brightstone Cove Tseldora
Right before the Chapel Threshold bonfire to your left, there is a cliffside you can descend off of to land infront of a house below. You will find Creighton and Pate fighting inside. The outcome of this depends on who you decide to assist. If you kill Creighton, he will drop his Steel Mask and Merchant Hag Melentia will sell his armor set

This encounter will only trigger if you have spoken to Creighton at the Shaded Woods and unlocked the shortcut door in Earthen Peak where Pate is standing and exhausted his dialogue.

You need to actively do most of the damage. Waiting for one of them to die (or doing too little damage) results in no reward apart from what you loot from the deceased.

Whichever one you aid will give you the Tseldora Den Key, which opens a locked door nearby with two chests inside containing ten Rusted Coins and the Engraved Gauntlets. The left chest containing coins is trapped. After the trap sets off, you will hear Creighton's or Pate's voice mocking you, depending on who survived.

However, If you already killed Pate before coming here and encounter Creighton he will be surprised by your appearance. He will say that Pate has run off somewhere. If you equip the Ring of Thorns he will comment on the ring and tell you to give the ring to him. If you agree to give him the ring he will realize that you are no friend of Pate and will conclude that you killed Pate. He won't take the ring from you but he will give you the Tseldora Den Key. If you, however, don't agree to give him the ring he will think that you are a friend of Pate and will decide to attack you.

Summon Location

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
Huntsman's Copse
Found next to the portcullis in the cave next to the Undead Lockaway bonfire.

Drops

• Creighton's Steel Mask

Notes

• Creighton will usually win the fight with Pate if you don't interfere. In NG+ and above Pate usually wins.
• If you exhaust his dialogue after killing Pate, he will gift you his armor set.
• Important: If you intend to get his armor (and/or kill him) do so immediately as he will disappear when you drop down to the lower level.

Videos

• Creighton of Mirrah & Mild-Mannered Pate complete side quest

Lore

If you help save Creighton, and talk to the "map maker" in the mansion at Majula, he will tell a story of a murderous knight from Mirrah whose name started with "Cre-", and that he recently just saw the knight fitting his description. It can obviously be assumed that Creighton the Wanderer is Creighton of Mirrah, the murderous knight.

It can also be assumed that neither Creighton or Pate is inherently good. Pate appears to play the innocent role, warning you of traps ahead. But, Pate already knows of these traps before setting foot in front of them. It would seem as if he placed or prepared them himself. Creighton, when found in the cage, admits to being tricked by Pate on multiple occasions, vowing to kill him.

One is a murderous knight, the other is a trickster, setting traps for victims, so killing either should result in no worry of "the right choice". If you do decide to kill both, make sure you receive the key from the last one standing before you kill him as well.

Dialogue

• When met in Hunstman's Copse
  1. Who are you?
     I thought you were that bastard for a moment.
     You've set me free. Now I can find him.
     The cheeky prick. He won't know what hit him.
  2. I am Creighton, of Mirrah. I travel from land to land to hone my blade.
     I've heard this land was full of danger. I thought it would suit me perfectly.
     I joined forces with a man on the way, but he was no more than a back-stabbing knave.
     He took the first chance he had to try and off me.
     I decided to set a trap for him here, but then I got trapped myself.
     I can't believe that I was so dense. Thank the stars that you came along.
  3. You be careful of him. Pate, I think he said.
     He wears this rather unusual ring. You know it when you see it.
     I've seen his type before. He kills entirely for the pleasure of it.
     I'm sure I won't be his last victim. The man's better off dead, I tell you.
     He's a slick talker, so don't let him fool you.
  4. Pate, the man with the strange ring. Watch out for the slimy rat.
     And don't you believe a word he says.
     I'll find the common footpad, and put an end to his roguery. Heh heh.

• When met in Shaded Woods
  1. Heh heh…Just wait, you dirty rat…
     Hm? Oh…Oh! I-I remember you?!
     Don't you scare me like that. I thought you were him.
  2. That bastard with the ring lives in Brightstone Cove down the way.
     I'm gonna find him and settle the score. Nobody insults me like that.
  3. For the good of the world, and for my own honour.
     I won't let that bastard live another day. Heh heh…

• When encountered fighting Pate in Brighstone Cove Tseldora
  Damn! You're tougher than you look!

• When talking after helping him kill Pate
  1. …Serves you right…Hah hah hah!
     …Hah hah…Hah hah hah hah!
  2. …I did it…Hah hah!
     Thanks for your help. He was no pushover…
     Here, take this, and go to my bolt-hole down the way.
     What's there is yours.
     Just a small token of appreciation.
  3. You did me well.

• When talking after he kills Pate without player help
  …Serves you right…Hah hah hah!
  …Wait… …You weren't friends with that rat, were you?
  Then jog on…You've no business with me.

(Possible glitch; I backstabbed Pate with my greatsword and might have killed him too fast, and was given this response with no reward.)

• When talking to him in Brightstone Cove Tseldora after the player has killed Pate somewhere else
  Oh, you. What do you want?
  That bastard's run off somewhere.

• When talking to him in Brightstone Cove Tseldora after the player has killed Pate somewhere else, if wearing the Ring of Thorns
  Your ring! That's his ring!
  You're not friends with the bastard, are you?
  Hand that ring over to me. He's no friend of yours. You can do without it.
  Think carefully before you answer.
  • Answer "yes"
    You killed him, didn't you?
    Fair play. As long as he got what he deserved.
    Here, take this, and go to my bolt-hole down the way.
    What's there is yours.
    Just a small token of appreciation.
  • Answer "no"
    I see how it is. You're another slimy toad!

• Talking a second time after agreeing to give him the ring
  You did me well.

• When the player opens the trapped chest in Brightstone Cove Tseldora
  Ooh, that'll leave a nasty scar!

• When giving equipment to the player
  Here, these are for you.
  You did me well. Just take 'em.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Whoah!
  (or)
  Hey, watch it there!
  (or)
  Why, you!

• When attacked and aggroed
  Do you want some? Fine enough!

• When killing the player
  Next time, you think before you pick a fight!

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  Don't you ever give up!

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  Damn! This isn't right!

• When killed

• When first met
  Are you…the next monarch?
  Or… Merely a pawn of fate?
  Bearer of the curse…
  I will remain by your side. Till this frail hope shatters…
  Take this with you. May it ease your journey.
  Go on, and see the King.
  He who made Drangleic what it once was; he who peered at the essence of the soul.
  King Vendrick.

• When talking a second time
  Bearer of the curse, seek misery.
  For misery will lead you to greater, stronger souls.
  You will never meet the King with a soul so frail and pallid.

• When talking a third time
  Seek those whose names are unutterable, the four endowed with immense souls.
  Their souls will serve as beacons.
  Once you have found them, return here to me.
  So that hope will not fade away.

  Bearer of the curse…
  Seek souls. Larger, more powerful souls.
  Seek the King, that is the only way.
  Lest this land swallow you whole… As it has so many others.

  Is that a shard you've found?
  Here, let me see it. So that I may help you.

  However faint it might be…

• When talking to her to open the interaction menu after obtaining a Great Soul
  You have acquired the soul of an Old One.
  That is more than most Undead can say.

  The soul and the curse are one and the same.
  Your soul has grown stronger still.

  Proceed, bearer of the curse.

  For when the Undead dies, it is never truly dead, but only one step closer to Hollowing.
  Not all Undead are Hollows, but all Hollows were once Undead.

• Using 'Talk' option
  If you find an Estus Shard, bring it to me.
  So that I may ease your burden.

• When met outside of Drangleic Castle having opened the Shrine of Winter through Soul Memory
  Your soul is still frail and pallid…
  If you proceed regardless, your fate will be more terrible than mere life or death.
  But I will not stop you, if that is your heart's desire.

• When met outside of Drangleic Castle having obtained the four Great Souls
  This castle is isolated.
  But nonetheless, you must forge on.
  To bring an end to your journey…and mine.
  End your journey…and mine.

• When talking a second time outside of Drangleic Castle
  …

• When met in the Undead Crypt
  This ring is the symbol of the King.
  Use it to gain passage, through the King's Gate…
  …and venture to the far east…
  Bearer of the curse, if you are to be the next monarch,
  Then, one day, you will walk those grounds…
  …without really knowing why.

• When talking a second time in the Undead Crypt
  …

• When met at the Dragon Aerie
  Bearer of the curse.
  Long have I awaited one such as you, one who might shatter the shackles of fate.
  One who can set me free.
  Bearer of the curse, it was my own manifestation that led you here.
  The ancient dragon has watched over the world for aeons past.
  Take this.
  Do not resist. The dragon welcomes you.

• When talking a second time at the Dragon Aerie
  …

• When met at the stairs leading to the Throne of Want
  My journey is already complete.
  My name is Shanalotte.
  The dragon gave me this name, for I was born with none.
  I was born of dragons, contrived by men.
  By ones who would cozen fate herself… They are the ones who created me.
  But they failed.
  I did not come out as intended.
  Fate would not be bested, and men were cursed once again.
  If you proceed, Nashandra will come after you.
  Knowing that you will take the throne, and link the fire.
  She covets the First Flame, and the Great Soul.
  Put Nashandra to rest.

• When talking a second time on the stairs leading to the Throne of Want
  …

• Ending voice-over
  You, who link the fire, you, who bear the curse…
  Once the fire is linked, souls will flourish anew, and all of this will play out again.
  It is your choice…To embrace, or renounce this…
  Great Sovereign, take your throne.
  What lies ahead, only you can see.

• When attacked
  What are you…?
  (or)
  If that is your wish…

Shrine of Amana
Dark Souls II: Found in the hut just past the Ogre, from the Crumbled Ruins bonfire.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin: Found near to Rhoy's Resting Place bonfire.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
The Lost Bastille
Found in the room with the barred windows, explosive barrels and a gate giving access to the Ruin Sentinels passage.

Equipment

• Heide Greatlance
• Tower Shield
• Knight set

Notes

• Has a tendency to charge at enemies, and can be quite helpful in drawing the attention of the nearby Amana Shrine Maidens. Should her health drop low, Felicia has a supply of Estus Flasks that she will use to heal herself.
• Her effectiveness in clearing the way to the Demon of Song can be misleading, as she is of very little help in the actual boss fight and is unable to survive for long.
• Though her weapon is very clearly a Heide Greatlance, it doesn't do any lightning damage.

Description

A retired Firekeeper residing in the dimensional rift with her sisters, Strowen and Morrel, and their Housekeeper Milibeth.

Like Morrel, she is disinclined to initiate conversations and tends to prefer throwing in her two cents while her somewhat more outgoing sister Strowen is speaking to their many visitors.

Much like her sister Morrel, Griant participates in the initial series of cutscenes but serves no other function and has no items to give.

Location

Things Betwixt
Found in the hut next to the Fire Keepers' Dwelling bonfire.

Notes

• Upon killing Housekeeper Milibeth, the Old Firekeepers will no longer speak to you.
• If you attack any one of the Old Firekeepers, Housekeeper Milibeth will aggro you.
• Though otherwise indistinguishable from Morrel in-game, Griant is the one found sitting next to Strowen at the table.

many generations of her maternal ancestors before her.

Milibeth will initially provide you with some background information on herself and the three elderly women in her care.

Location

Things Betwixt
The Old Firekeeper's house.

Drops

Dialogue

• When first met
  This is a limbo. A link between Drangleic and the outer world.
  Fair traveller, I know that you must have a story.
  Why else would you visit such a place?
  This lost, decayed kingdom.

• When talking a second time
  My name is Milibeth.
  The old women were once Fire Keepers.
  I am here to look after them.
  It is what my mother did, and her mother before her, and so on.

• When talking a third time
  The old women were keepers of the fire.
  But now, the fire shows signs of fading…
  And the kingdom…is beset by Hollows…

• When talking a fourth time
  The old women are sisters. I am told there was a fourth.
  They have looked like that for as long as I have known them.
  Long ago, Fire Keepers were commonplace.
  But now they are lost, scattered to the winds.

• When giving equipment to the player
  You have proven yourself to the forest.
  We have little to offer, except perhaps these.
  May they bring fortune to your journey, in some small way.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  You brute!
  (or)
  Stop this at once!

• When attacked and aggroed
  What are you doing!

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  Leave at once!

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  What are you…!

• When killed
  (death scream; no subtitles)

• Unknown
  Have a safe journey…

Location

Black Gulch
Found next to the large skeleton, next to the second set of oil pools.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin:

Shrine of Amana
Found in the hut just past the Ogre, from the Crumbled Ruins bonfire.

Equipment

• Composite Bow
• Small Leather Shield
• Wanderer's set minus the headpiece

Notes

• He isn't much of a powerhouse, but can help keep the heat off you.
• Likes to swim in the fire pools in the Rotten's boss room.

Description

Knights found in Frozen Eleum Loyce.

Free them and they will aid you later against the onslaught of the Burnt Ivory King. They can sacrifice themselves to freeze the portals that spawn Charred Loyce Knights, preventing enemies from entering the area. If you want to close all the portals, you need three Knights.

Locations of the Knights of Eleum Loyce

• One
  The first can be found waiting for you by the fog gate to the Old Chaos, which means you already start with one knight in your party.

• Two
  The second 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.

• Three
  The third 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. There is a snowball on a ledge near the front of the temple, which can be rolled downhill to open a shortcut by closing the gap in the bridge.

• Four
  The fourth 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.

Stats

Notes

• If you defeat the Burnt Ivory King with the last knight alive, he will teleport back to his seat where you can find him later. However, he will not jump down with you to the Old Chaos anymore.

Description

A feared warrior from Mirrah. She has come to Drangleic in search of her brother and a cure for the Undead curse but soon begins to hollow…

Locations

No-man's Wharf
Dark Souls II: Right next to the first and only bonfire.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin: Found in the building to the left after the first set of stairs.

The Lost Bastille
From the McDuff's Workshop bonfire up the stairs to the tower straight ahead, or from The Tower Apart bonfire the tower across the broken pathway. She leans against a wall in the tower.

Earthen Peak
Dark Souls II: At the Lower Earthen Peak bonfire.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin: Found before the Covetous Demon fight. From Harvest Valley, enter Earthen Peak via the lower route, go through the room of poison urns, and follow the passage to the right. You will find her in the room on the right, opposite a Pharros' contraption.

Black Gulch
The most hidden of her locations. From the first bonfire in Black Gulch stick close to the edge. Before the first tar pools you can spot a small ledge below. Using a torch is strongly advised to see it. Drop down and follow the path to find her leaning against a wall.

Aldia's Keep
At the Foregarden bonfire.

Summon Locations

No-man's Wharf
Dark Souls II: Next to the shortcut gate in the area.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin: On the dock leading to the boss ship

Sinner's Rise
At the bottom of the elevator.

Black Gulch
Next to the hidden, second bonfire.

Iron Keep
Just before the Smelter Demon fog gate.

Grand Cathedral
Just after the bonfire, up the stairs.

Use

• Can be summoned for five various boss fights.
• Her summon sign will only appear if you spoke to her in the same or preceding location.
• If you kill the Covetous Demon before speaking to her in Harvest Valley, and you rest at a bonfire, she will no longer be found in Earthern Peak, making it impossible to summon her for the Smelter Demon fight. Not correct, you can find her there before killing the Smelter Demon. Killing the Covetous Demon and resting at a bonefire does not prevent you from finding her there.
• If you kill the Rotten without having summoned her, you will not be able to summon her (even if you burn a Bonfire Ascestic in Black Gulch) Not correct, tested killing 3 rottens with ascetics. Was able to follow her questline normally.
• If her storyline is completed, she will gift you her equipment: Lucatiel's Set and the Mirrah Greatsword (everything she uses except her Mirrah Shield).
• Alternatively, you can purchase her armor and sword from Merchant Hag Melentia if you kill her.

Questline

To complete Lucatiel's questline, you must:

1. Talk to her at every location and exhaust all her dialogue.
2. Summon her for at least three boss fights and have her survive the boss fights.
3. NOTE: You can re-battle the same boss multiple times by use of a Bonfire Ascetic.
   For example, you could have her fight Flexile Sentry twice and then the Rotten once and that would count as three wins needed for her to give you the equipment.

Lucatiel can be encountered in No-Mans's Wharf, the Lost Bastille, Earthen Peak, and the Black Gulch. She can be encountered in any location in any order and her dialogue progression will remain the same. The second time she is spoken to, she rewards the player with a Human Effigy. The third time she is spoken to, she gives the player a Ring of Steel Protection +1.

She can be summoned for the Flexile Sentry boss fight in No-Mans's Wharf to fulfill the boss fight requirements. You can find her sign next to the shortcut gate (Dark Souls II) or at the beginning of the dock leading to the boss ship (Scholar of the First Sin).

If you've spoken to her at the Lost Bastille, she can be summoned before the fight with the Lost Sinner at the bottom of the lift in Sinners Rise before the sewer area with the exploding undead.

Speaking to her at Earthen Peak allows her to be summoned to assist you in the fight with the Smelter Demon in the Iron Keep.

Speaking to her at the Black Gulch allows her to be summoned for the fight against the Rotten.

She then moves to her last location in the foregarden of Aldia's Keep. If you look closely enough you'll see she has removed her mask and part of her face has turned hollow. If the above requirements are met, she will give you her equipment. If not, kill her and you will be able to purchase her equipment from Melentia. If you talk to her before completing the above requirements she will disappear and you will lose your opportunity to complete her quest for that playthrough.

Her brother invades once you go up the steps into Aldia's Keep.

Event Items

Drops

• Lucatiel's Mask

Videos

• Lucatiel of Mirrah's complete side quest

Note

• She will remove her mask (you will see the animation of her removing the mask ) the second time you meet her, but you must NOT skip when she said "Assuming, of course, that the legends are true. _" , if done correctly, she will remove the mask when she says her next line.
• As it's in the same area, Lucatiel can be summoned and brought to the Old Iron King boss fight. However, she's near useless in said fight and it will not count towards her questline, assuming she can even make it to the fight without falling to her death on the way there.

Bugs

• If you defeat the Smelter Demon without her help, then kill the Old Iron King and ascend the Eygil's Idol bonfire her summon sign appears in the usual place. (Note: Eygil's Idol will only respawn four Ironclad Soldiers and the Old Iron King.)
• Occasionally when summoned for a boss fight she will not enter the fog wall into the boss arena. This seems to happen most often in the Old Iron Keep where she will get stuck outside the door frame. Her pathing is also notably spotty, and she will often fall to her death in Sinners Rise and the Old Iron Keep without any outside assistance.

Dialogue

• First encounter
  1. What is it?
     I don't know you, and you don't know me.
     Things are better that way.
  2. Phew…
     Heh heh. You are an odd one.
     Normally, people keep a safe distance when they see this mask. But you…
     I am called Lucatiel.
     From the land of Mirrah, to the far east. across the mountains.
     They say Drangleic brims with powerful souls.
     And so I came to claim my share.
     But what a strange place…Even the rumours did not prepare me.
  3. You are an odd one, indeed. I've always made a point of avoiding people.
     While you've made a point of engaging me.
     I can see that you are mid-journey. If you require assistance, I will help you.
     I come from Mirrah, a land of knights. My sword is always ready.
     Don't hesitate to call upon me. Whatever happens, I won't be missed…

• Second encounter
  1. I thought that might be you. You haven't changed a bit, have you? Heh heh.
     The longer I am here, the more madness I discover.
     A wretched place, indeed, but not without traces of its former glory.
     What could have caused such degradation?
  2. Ah, yes, I have not thanked you for humouring me the other day.
     This is for you.
     Of course, I've no idea what it is. Heh heh.
  3. Our land of Mirrah is surrounded by enemies, and constantly at war.
     There is only one way up in Mirrah. Join the Order, and prove yourself in battle.
     My family had little fortune, and no name. I had to carve out a piece of the world for myself…
     …with two things. My sword, and my loyalty to my Lord.
  4. I was raised to wield a sword from birth.
     Life was hard, but I never gave it a second thought.
     I had swift success on the battlefield, and quickly attained respectable stature.
     And then I…
     And then I came here… to…
  5. Have you heard of the Undead? These poor souls affected by the curse.
     An Undead gradually loses his humanity, until his wits degrade completely.
     Finally, he turns Hollow, and preys upon others.
     And a Hollow can never be human again.
     One can skirt this wicked fate only with the help of the souls found here.
     Assuming, of course, that the legends are true.
     I can only hope…that they are.
  6. I'm sorry…to burden you with talk of my fate.
     I suppose I've grown weary these days.

• Third encounter
  1. Still on the road, are you?
     Sorry to have burdened you so.
     This is for you, by way of an apology.
  2. I've found my thoughts growing hazy.
     My memories are fading, oldest first.
     The curse is doing its work upon me.
     I am frightened…Terribly so…
     If everything should fade…What will be left of me…
  3. I had an older brother. We learned to fence together.
     He became the most decorated swordsman in all of Mirrah.
     I never even compared to him.
     In fact, I never beat him, not once.
     But then, one day…he was gone, lost without a trace.
     Now I'm certain. That he was taken, by the curse.
  4. If only someone would hear my tale…
     My brother must have come here, too.
     Soon, I may forget even about him…

• Fourth encounter
  1. Oh…You…
     My thoughts…are very…scattered…
  2. What is this curse?
     The question rings in my mind, but I haven't the focus to answer it.
  3. Loss frightens me no end. Loss of memory, loss of self.
     If I were told that by killing you, I would be freed of this curse…
     Then I would draw my sword without hesitation.
     I don't want to die, I want to exist.
     I would sacrifice anything, anything at all for this.
     It shames me, but it is the truth.
  4. Sometimes, I feel obsessed… with this insignificant thing called "self".
     But even so, I am compelled to preserve it.
     Am I wrong to feel so? Surely you'd do the same, in my shoes?
     …
     Maybe we're all cursed…
     From the moment we're born…

• Encounter in Aldia's Keep
  1. Who are you…
     Oh…No, forgive me… I know you…Yes, of course.
  2. How goes your journey?
     I know not what you seek in this far-away land…
     But I pray for your safety.
  3. My name is Lucatiel.
     I beg of you, remember my name.
     For I may not myself…

• When giving equipment to the player
  Please take these.
  Consider this thanks, for keeping me sane…

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Eek!
  (or)
  What's become of you!
  (or)
  That will be quite enough!

• When attacked and aggroed
  If this is your wish, so be it.

• When killing the player
  Hmph…How sickening…

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  If you really insist…

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  I won't die in this foul place!

  Oh…My dear brother…

  Human, are we?
  This is no place for you. Be gone.

• Using Talk Prompt
  Are you not afraid of me?
  Humans rarely come here.
  Those who do turn back when they see me. Or make an attempt on my life.
  But you, heh…are different.

• Using Talk Prompt
  We once had a master. He created us long, long ago.
  But he was born with a fatal flaw.
  He resented those who had what he lacked, and became fully mired in hatred.
  Eventually, he drove himself mad.
  It was at the peak of this madness that he conjured up we strange creatures.

• Using Talk Prompt
  Our master was a tragically lonely soul.
  Eventually, his solitude eroded his very reason.

  Eventually she came after me.
  And we've been locked in combat ever since.

  You've defeated my better half.
  This is my thanks. Take it.

• Using Talk Prompt
  Long ago, there was a being with powers similar to ours.
  The creature took the form of a spider.
  But I don't know where it disappeared to.
  Perhaps it was seduced by madness.

Description

A self-proclaimed "treasure hunter" who roams around Drangleic searching for valuable loot. With an unknown motive behind him, it is uncertain if he is friend or foe.

Location

Forest of Fallen Giants
Pate can be found sitting next to a gate that locks when passing through it. He will mention to you that he was with another traveler previously who became locked in a similar contraption. He will warn you of the danger and will continue to tell you that he still has the ring from the unfortunate traveler who became trapped. After escaping from the trap or coming back after dying, talk to Pate again. When you exhaust his dialogue, he will give you the White Sign Soapstone.

Pate can be summoned as a White Phantom for the Last Giant boss fight. If he survives the fight, you get Pate's Set, Pate's Spear and the Ring of Thorns from him in Earthen Peak.

Earthen Peak
From the second bonfire, proceed upstairs and then up the ladder. Head right towards the room with the fan blade and Desert Sorceresses on the other side, then drop down, and look for a room off that hallway with lots of vases. He will be leaning on the wall in this room below the stairs.

The treasure he seeks can be reached by taking a right when exiting his room, then a right at the hallway intersection. Look for a destructible railing on your right, break it and then drop down. Claim the treasure chest which contains Great Heavy Soul Arrow, and then you can open the door from this ledge back into Pate's room, which was previously locked from the other side. He will congratulate you, then mention that someone is apparently looking to end his life.

Brightstone Cove Tseldora
Right before the Chapel Threshold bonfire to your left, there is a cliffside you can descend off of to land infront of a house below. You will find Pate and Creighton the Wanderer fighting inside. The outcome of this depends on who you decide to assist. If you kill Pate, he will drop Pate's Spear and the Ring of Thorns.

You need to actively do most of the damage. Waiting for one of them to die (or doing too little damage) results in no reward apart from what you loot from the deceased.

Whichever one you aid will give you the Tseldora Den Key, which opens a locked door nearby with two chests inside containing ten Rusted Coins and the Engraved Gauntlets. The left chest containing coins is trapped. After the trap sets off, you will hear Pate's or Creighton's voice mocking you, depending on who survived.

Dialogue

• When first met in Forest of Fallent Giants before going into the trap
  1. Hello there. Travelling all alone in these treacherous times?
     Well, I hope you have a very good reason.
     Oh, hogwash, who am I to judge? Hah…
     My name is Pate.
     I journey hither and thither…On a sort of… …treasure hunt, you might call it.
     Be careful out there. There's talk of unsavoury bandits who prey upon travellers like yourself.
  2. Oh yes, you be cautious if you go any farther.
     There's treasure in there, for certain, but the entrance locks from behind.
     I saw the same design earlier, and it's the same contraption, I'm sure.
     I was with this warrior, you see, and he insisted that he go inside first.
     The rather brusque fellow tried to swipe the loot for himself, but it trapped him inside.
     I still have the gent's ring. I do hope he wasn't harmed.
  3. I'll leave this one to you. I'm worried about what might be inside.

• When talking after going through the trap in Forest of Fallent Giants
  1. Well, I see you managed to escape.
     I hope that brave warrior didn't come a cropper either.
     Be careful out there. There's talk of unsavoury bandits who prey upon travellers like yourself.
  2. Oh, but you should take this.
     It allows Undead to call out for help to one another, across the fissures between worlds.
     With luck, somebody will lend you a hand.

• When talking after going through the trap in Forest of Fallent Giants, if you didn't talk to him first
  1. I wanted to warn you of the trap down the way, but you walked right past me.
     My name is Pate.
     I journey hither and thither…On a sort of… …treasure hunt, you might call it.
     Be careful out there. There's talk of unsavoury bandits who prey upon travellers like yourself.
  2. Good to see you safe.

• When met in Earthen Peak
  Well, we meet again.
  There's treasure this way… But I've a bad feeling about it.
  I don't quite have the guts myself! Hah hah…

• When talking after getting the treasure in Earthen Peak
  1. Well, good to see that you survived.
     Perhaps you're more rugged than I thought.
     In any case, the treasure is yours. Since you went ahead, and took the leap.
  2. I prefer a more cautious approach. It's hard to know who to even trust these days.
     For instance, I've heard that a man is out for my life.
     Now, what misunderstanding could have ever led to that?
     The poor bloke must have quite an imagination. Heh…
  3. You be careful, too, my friend. For trust can be a dangerous thing.

• When encountered fighting Creighton in Brighstone Cove Tseldora
  He swung at me! Please, lend me a hand!

• When talking after helping him kill Creighton
  1. What misunderstanding could have caused this?
     Well. Thank you. I owe you my life.
     My little pied-à-terre lies beyond here.
     You'll find some of my treasures there. Help yourself to those that suit you.
     Here, use this key.
  2. Be cautious on your travels.

• When talking after he kills Creighton without player help
  What was he thinking?
  I haven't done a thing.

• When the player opens the trapped chest in Brightstone Cove Tseldora
  Ooh, that'll leave a nice scar!

• When giving equipment to the player
  We went through a lot together. Take these, as a token of our friendship.
  Don't be shy, they were meant for you…Heh heh…

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Eek!
  (or)
  What the devil's…!
  (or)
  Now, stop that!

• When attacked and aggroed
  Oh, I can scrimmage, my friend.

• When killing the player
  Heh heh heh…

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  You again? Oh, heavens…

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  Not too shabby…Heh heh…

• When killed

First Milfanito (Hut)

• Using talk prompt
  1. We knew you were coming…
     And stopped singing…
  2. We are Milfanito.
     We are here to sing to those bound by death and Dark.
  3. We will sing here, forever, as we always have, from long, long ago.
     We know nothing of the world outside.
     And why should we? For we will never leave.
  4. Do you seek King Vendrick?
     But what is a king, after all?
     We know nothing of the world outside.
     For we will never leave here.
  5. When we sing, the little ones dance.
     The little ones grant comfort to those who bear death and Dark.
     This is what we were taught.
  6. Is there anything wrong?
     Perhaps this will help.
     This is all that we can do.

• After defeating Demon of Song
  You quelled that cursed singing.
  They may be of no use outside, but please take these.

• After rescuing Milfanito from Drangleic Castle
  We hear a song in the distance.
  You rescued a Milfanito who was taken from us.
  Take this… We Milfanito thank you.

• When attacked
  Ah! (no caption)
  Oh! (no caption)
  What did we ever do… (made angry)

  Ah…Ahh…

Milfanito (Rise of the Dead)

     And what do you want from us?
  2. Milfanito, that is what we are called.
     My name?
     Do you mean our name?
     We know nothing of the outside world…
  3. We sing eternally for those who bear death and Dark within themselves.
     We have been here forever.
     We know nothing of the outside world, and we do not need to.
  4. The little ones were born from the Great Dead One.
     And the Great Dead One taught us song.
     We have sung ever since. To comfort those bound by death and Dark.
     This is what we were taught.
  5. Do you seek comfort, too?
     You poor thing…
     Take this, at the very least.
     This is all that we can do.

• After defeating Demon of Song
  You silenced that cursed singing.
  Please accept these as a thank-you.

Description

A former Firekeeper living in Things Betwixt with her sisters Strowen and Griant.

They live in isolation but do not turn away Undead travelers bound for Drangleic; in fact they recieve a steady stream of wayward visitors and are quite accustomed to company.

Much like her sister Griant, Morrel participates in the initial series of cutscenes but serves no other function and has no items to give.

Location

Notes

• Upon killing Housekeeper Milibeth, the Old Firekeepers will no longer speak to you.
• If you attack any one of the Old Firekeepers, Housekeeper Milibeth will aggro you.
• Though otherwise indistinguishable from Griant in-game, Morrel is the one found sitting next to the fireplace.

Description

The three old women Strowen, Morrel and Griant can be found in Things Betwixt.

The retired Firekeepers are the first NPCs encountered after starting a New Game.
Entering their home automaticly triggers the Character Creation event and restores
your Humanity via a Human Effigy by Strowen during the cutscene.

If you return here in possession of a Soul Vessel and speak with Strowen, she will use it
to help you reallocate your character's Soul Levels.

Location

• Things Betwixt

Loot

• Strowen drops Human Effigy (x6)

Notes

• Upon killing Housekeeper Milibeth, the Old Firekeepers will no longer speak to you.
• If you attack the Firekeepers, Housekeeper Milibeth will attack you.
• Human Effigy (x6) given by Strowen once you've obtained the King's Ring.

Dialogue

Hah hah hah…
…

You must go, on a journey without rest.
Well… I suppose, if you find yourself at an impasse.
But if your will is yet unbroken, then you may return here.
To start again, with a clean slate… Heh heh…

Now, go along, go along… Heh heh…

Description

A White Phantom, and a powerful sorcerer with unusually pious garb, locked up in the Bastille and forgotten. She clearly expired in her cell untold years ago, but could she have been involved at the Shrine of Amana prior to the collapse of all order?

Location

The Lost Bastille
In an open cell on the right side of the hallway just before the Ruin Sentinels fog wall.

Only available in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.
Drangleic Castle
Right next to the Dragonriders fog wall.

Equipment

• Staff of Amana
• Priest's Chime
• Lion Warrior Helm
• White Hollow Mage Robe
• Creighton's Chain Gloves
• Rogue Leggings

She uses a variety of high-level sorceries, from Soul Spears to different Soul Arrows. She doesn't appear to cast any miracles.

General Information

A White Phantom for the Afflicted Graverobber, Ancient Soldier Varg, Cerah the Old Explorer boss fight.

Equipment

• Shotel
• Traveling Merchant Set

Notes

• Uses Gold Pine Resin, Throwing Knife and Witching Urn consumables.

Description

A strange sorcerer with a thing for dragons and dark places. He can be summoned as a Shade to help clear the Soldiers' Rest or as a White Phantom for the Cave of the Dead boss fight.

Location

Cave of the Dead
Found in the summoning room just before the caves.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin:

Forest of Fallen Giants (shade)
Found in the dark corridor between Cardinal Tower and Soldiers' Rest. Needing the Soldier's Key means he can only be reached after The Last Giant is dead, but he can be enlisted to help in The Pursuer boss fight.

Equipment

• Bat Staff
• Dragon Sage Hood
• Dragon Acolyte Set

Attacks

• Cast Light
• Crystal Soul Spear
• Soul Spear
• Dark Orb
• Dark Hail
• Heavy Homing Soul Arrow
• Soul Arrow

Notes

• His main purpose in life is to light the way with his magic. The first thing he does upon summon is Cast Light, recasting it as soon as it runs out indoors. Considering how dark the Soldiers' Rest corridor is in Scholar of the First Sin, he can be a lifesaver for players who've wasted all of their torches.
• His shade timer in the Forest of Fallen Giants lasts just long enough to clear the skeletons and all enemies in Soldiers' Rest aside from Armorer Dennis.
• The soul spears he casts look scary, but they deal dismal damage (~160-190 damage on NG skeletons in the FoFG). He might be a heavy user of Simpleton's Spice.
• May get stuck outside the boss fog (highly unlikely).

Description

A victim of the Undead Curse who traveled to Drangleic in the usual way, for the usual reasons, only to realize that the cure he sought was not so easily obtained. Saulden lost the will to continue his quest and settled down in Majula, where he spends his days wallowing in misery.

He still has good advice on offer, however, and heads the Drangleic chapter of the Way of Blue - a Covenant which provides protection and guidance to Undead travelers newly arrived in the kingdom. While the bleak and desolate landscape of Majula only serves to deepen Saulden's sadness, livening up the town by bringing some new residents will raise his spirits considerably.

He will initially provide you with some information on the town and the surrounding areas as well as some basic lore; speaking to him later in the game when you've triggered more NPCs to move to Majula will get you a valuable Soul Vessel. You do not need to join the Way of Blue to access Saulden's expanded menu and can learn the "Welcome" gesture from him immediately.

Saulden also makes an appearance in the Into the Light comic that came with the Collector's Edition. There, he has pretty much the same role, where he attempts to advise and warn an adventurer.

Dialogue

All dialogue text is © From Software Inc.

• First Encounter
  1. You're Undead…aren't you.
     You have that distinct scent. The smell of irreversible fate.
     This is Majula.
     It is a kind of settlement… A place where life is almost normal.
     And in Drangleic these days, there are very few places like that.
  2. I am Saulden. And like you…I lost everything, and now I'm here.
     You probably heard that it was possible to break the curse here.
     Well, that's not true at all.
     There's nothing here, for you, me, or anybody…
  3. Do you know much about souls?
     Even I'm not certain, but…
     I'm told that the soul is the essence of life itself.
     Anything living, sentient or no, supposedly has one.
     What we call the curse is traceable to the soul.
     Do you see what that means?
     To be alive…to walk this earth… That's the real curse right there.
     We Undead will never die.
     And that's quite a predicament, really…
  4. There are four beings in this land with giant souls.
     And wherever you go from here, you'll sooner or later come up against them.
     Each has a powerful soul, and a terrible curse…
     If that frightens you, then you ought to just give up right now. Like I have. Hah hah hah…
  5. Do you ever cry out for help?
     The journey of an Undead is long and treacherous.
     You'll face invaders from other worlds at every turn.
     If you need help… Why not proclaim faith in the Blue Sentinels?
     When you face danger, the Blue Sentinels will come to your aid.
     Protection is yours, if you wish. You need only accept their kind embrace.

• Answering YES to covenant invitation
  That is a wise decision.
  People are weak…But the Blue Sentinels watch over us in their benevolence.
  Let the Sentinels cradle you in their embrace.

• Answering NO to covenant invitation
  I see. Then, you'll have to brave this treacherous journey on your own.
  If you ever require help, come back any time.
  I will stay here, and pray for your safety.

• Re-encounter
  1. Life is a journey…And every journey eventually leads to home.
  2. You…need my help, do you?
  3. I will always be here…watching over you.

• Using Talk Option
  1. Do you see the way beyond the bonfire? That will take you to the Forest of the Giants.
     There was once a great fort, but little of it remains.
     You may just find something there that will be of use on your journey.
     But don't venture too far inside, or you might not come back…
  2. Heide's Tower of Flame lies beyond the far gate.
     In the cathedral, the apostles of blue gather.
     But the road leading there is perilous.
     The gate is rigged with some contraption…
     But how it works, I just don't know…
  3. Have you seen that pit? That gaping hole in the earth.
     I don't know what it's like down below, but I wouldn't suggest trying to find out.
     Besides, you'll never make it down there, not without a ladder of some sort.
  4. The flame you see there is a bonfire.
     They exist all across the land… beacons to we Undead.
     If you are tired, try resting beside the flame.
     The flame heals us.
  5. Long ago, a woman called a Fire Keeper watched over each bonfire.
     She kept the flame lit, and guarded it from those who would extinguish it.
     I wonder where the Fire Keepers went…
  6. Did you notice any letters on the ground on the way here?
     These are messages that have jumped the fissures between worlds.
     In Drangleic, the flow of time is convoluted. Things shift and waver, twist and turn.
     Poignant wishes, dashed dreams… The messages convey our very inner thoughts.
     If your will to soldier on falters, try leaving a message. Somebody out there is sure to listen.
  7. You may notice symbols that appear upon the ground.
     These are summon signatures…They call upon spirits from other worlds through the schisms in time.
     If you fear Hollows, find summon signatures to call upon spirits to help you.

• Regarding amount of NPCs in Majula
  1. Do you feel lonely here?
     It suits me just fine, as I've nothing left anyway…
     It will grow on you, this place… Give it some time.
  2. Look at our new neighbours…
     How they fret over all and sundry…Oh, those were better days.
     Oh dear me, it really takes me back.
  3. Quite a hive of activity we are, these days.
     I'd forgotten how much comfort a little companionship can bring.
     Once, I'd lost everything, but now…
     I am grateful. For what you have taught me.
     It is very little, but please, take this.

• When gifting the Ring of Steel Protection
  You have died many times, yes, I understand.
  Here, these are for you.
  May they help you on your travels.

• When leaving
  May you find peace on your journey…

• When running off
  In a rush, are we?

• When attacked
  What on earth are you doing!
  Really now, stop that!
  Ohgghh…ah! (no captions)
  Have you come unhinged? (aggroed)
  What could possibly come of this?! (50% HP)
  
  note that the first three 'when attacked' samples sometimes play randomly or inconsistently

• When killing the player
  How did this happen…

• Re-encounter after defeat
  Still flirting with madness?

• When killed by the player
  Finally, I will have peace…

  Heh heh heh… What seems to be the ruckus?
  Ooh, my! Your face.
  The face of the curse.
  It's an Undead.
  An Undead has come to play. Heh heh…
  They all end up here, all the ones like you.
  You spoke to that kind old dear, didn't you?
  Heh heh…
  You're finished.
  You'll go Hollow.
  Yes, you will become one of them.
  Hollows prey upon men, feast upon their souls.
  This is the fate of the cursed. Heh heh heh…
  What is your name?

• After Entering Name
  At least you know your own name.
  Here's your reward for sharing.
  It's a Human Effigy.
  Take a closer look…
  Who do you think it's supposed to be?
  Think back, deep into your past.
  Yes, it's an effigy of you.

• After Finalizing Character
  All people come here for the same reason.
  To break the curse.
  You're no different, I should think?
  Hmm… doesn't stand a chance.
  Well, you never know!
  Go through the door and trot along to the kingdom.
  But remember, hold on to your souls.
  They're all that keep you from going Hollow.
  Oh, I'll fool you no longer…
  You'll lose your souls…All of them. Over and over again.

• When first met outside his shop
  1. Who are you?
     Oh, it doesn't matter, just help me open this door.
     I packed my tools in here, seeing it was vacant…
     but now somebody's gone and locked the door.
  2. I'm a blacksmith. I'm nothing without my tools.
     Bring me that key. Chop chop!

• When talking to him outside the shop, after opening the shop
  Ah, yes, very good.
  Now I can get to work.
  But first, let me set up. Come again later.

• When first met inside his shop having met him outside
  You, stand back. This is dangerous work.
  Oh, you're that traveller. The name's Lenigrast.
  I appreciate your help, but… I don't like travellers one bit.
  A man ought to labour with his feet planted firmly in the earth.
  Not roam around like you flirtatious vagabonds.
  Oh, what does it matter… Go on, show me what you've got.
  Your equipment. Let me have a look. But do it quick.

• When first met inside his shop without having met him outside
  You, stand back. This is dangerous work.
  The name's Lenigrast. Just a simple blacksmith.
  And you are…hmph! Another useless traveller.
  A man ought to labour with his feet planted firmly in the earth.
  Not roam around like you flirtatious vagabonds.
  Oh, what does it matter… Go on, show me what you've got.
  Your equipment. Let me have a look. But do it quick.

• When talking to him to open the interaction menu
  What? You again?
  (or)
  You again? Can't you see that I'm busy?
  (or)
  Hmph, I'd given you up for dead. Almost had me worried, really…
  (or)
  I knew you'd be around soon. Go on, show me what you've got.

• When leaving, having used his services
  I'll be around, if you make it back.

• When leaving, without having used his services
  Hmph. Don't waste my time.

• When walking off without closing the menu
  People these days…

• Using 'Talk' option
  1. Drat, you're worse than my reckless daughter.
     Don't spend you're whole life in transit, you hear?
  2. You'll need souls to repair and improve equipment.
     I know only of smithing, but souls have many other uses, as well.
     Don't waste your souls on useless trinkets. Think before you spend.
  3. Equipment can be strengthened with rare orestone. But such orestone won't come easily.
     My girl knows her stones, but she's always out prancing about.
     Now, there's a time for travels, but you can't wander the world forever.
     Even you must have someone waiting back home…

• Using 'Talk' option with the Dull Ember in the inventory
  I see that you have an ember. Where did you get it?
  I hear that embers were once used in a special process to fortify weapons.
  But the whole art was lost long ago. Blacksmiths can't use embers any more.
  Including myself, I'm afraid. Just keep it as a souvenir.

• Using 'Talk' option after Chloanne comes to Majula
  1. My witless daughter finally came home.
     Just as oblivious as she's always been.
     Well, at least now I can keep an eye on her.
  2. Stones? Try asking my daughter.
     You might be surprised.

• Using 'Talk' option after Giligan comes to Majula
  1. Now, don't go near that scum near the pit.
     The scoundrel's name is Gilligan, and he's infamous in our home town.
     Yes, everyone's heard of him, as he always manages to stir up trouble.
  2. Gilligan can certainly be helpful at times, but he's a real conniver when it comes to money.
     Hah, there are even people out for his life.
     And you can bet he brought it on himself.

• When giving equipment to the player
  How goes your journey?
  Take these. They should help a bit.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Now…! Watch it!
  (or)
  What's that about?!

• When attacked and aggroed
  Well, if that's what you want!

• When killing the player
  Hmph, the damned fool…

Description

Sir Targray oversees the original chapter of the Blue Sentinels based in the Cathedral of Blue in Heide.

Although he sometimes comes across as condescending due to his unwavering faith in the righteousness of his actions, in reality Targray is selfless and stoic; determined to train himself to achieve a higher state of mind and help fellow Knights of Blue. Targray remained in Drangleic to continue supporting his comrades even after people began fleeing the ruined kingdom and he himself became Undead.

Location

Cathedral of Blue
Found on the balcony after the fight with the Old Dragonslayer, and before the Cathedral of Blue bonfire.

If you speak to him with a Token of Fidelity in your inventory, he'll give you the option to join the Blue Sentinels covenant.

Event Items

Sells

Equipment

• Targray's Set

• Blue Knight's Halberd

• Grand Spirit Tree Shield

• Protective Chime

Drops

• Blue Knight's Halberd (guaranteed)

Notes

• Will only sell you items if you're in the Blue Sentinels.

• You'll have to be in actual NG+ for him to sell infinite Cracked Blue Eye Orbs. Using a Bonfire Ascetic won't work.

• Drops only his halberd if slain. Merchant Hag Melentia will have his armor set for sale.

• It costs 6,000 souls to revive him from his gravestone.

• An easy way to obtain a Token of Fidelity is to loot the one that can be found on a corpse under the giant wooden bridge leading to the Undead Purgatory.

• First meeting without a Token of Fidelity
  Transient being.
  This is no place for one such as you.
  Be gone. You are not needed.

• When talking again without a Token of Fidelity
  Transient being, nothing has changed.
  You would never make a Knight of the Blue, and I have nothing more to say.
  Be gone. You are not needed.

• When talking with a Token of Fidelity / Original request to join covenant
  Transient being.
  You have obtained proof, you are worthy of joining our Order.

  Rejoice, and bask in your new honour.

    You are no longer a mere vagabond. You are now a guardian, a Knight of the Blue.
    Proud knight, take this.

    Listen for their cries of help, and repel the malicious invaders.
    This is the proud work of the Knights of the Blue, the way they elevate themselves to a higher plane.
    I'll provide what you need. You may visit me at any time.
  • Answer "no"
    Do my ears deceive me?
    Who would refuse such magnificence?
    Gods, have mercy…on this halfwit. He knows not what he speaks.

• Talking again when not a member of the covenant / Request to join covenant
  You are a wandering transient.
  Do you rescind your ways, and seek honour as an apostle of blue?
  • Answer "yes"
    You are no longer a mere vagabond. You are now a guardian, a Knight of the Blue.
    Proud knight, take this.
    Wear this ring, and shine light upon stone.
    Then, you will hear the voices of the blue apostles.

  Work hard, and pursue a higher plane.

• When talking as a member of the Brotherhood of Blood covenant for the first time (?)

Description

A famed sorcerer from Melfia. He spent much time honing his sorceries in one of Melfia's renowned academies, but he argued that academies were terrible places to learn magic and set out for Drangleic, a land in which the forces of magic and souls lie dormant.

He was the master of Rosabeth.

Locations

No-man's Wharf
Found on the middle dock, on the other side of the dock with the ship.

Majula
He will move to Majula after you speak to him with at least 8 Intelligence and defeat the Flexile Sentry. You cannot boost your intelligence with equipment such as the Ring of Knowledge to reach this requirement.

Once there, he sits next to a tree near the precipice above the blacksmith's house. If you walk toward the monument from the blacksmith's house, Carhillion will be on the left.

• His spell stocks become unlimited after the Shrine of Winter has been opened.
• Impress him with your wisdom (have at least 30 Intelligence), and he will pass you his Northern Ritual Band +1.
• He uses a Lizard Staff and a Magic Shield in combat.

• He will do the Bow gesture when summoned, Mock gesture after the boss is defeated.

Dialogue

• When first met in No-Man's Wharf, with INT under 8
  Hmm…
  I see light, but it remains dim…
  I am Carhillion, and I've no interest in the magic-impaired.

• When first met in No-Man's Wharf, with INT over 8
  Hmm…I sense power…
  Very well. From this day, you shall be my new pupil.
  I am Carhillion. Carhillion of the Fold. Surely you've heard the name?
  Now, now, do not be afraid. Let us explore the limits of sorcery.

• When talking to him to open the interaction menu
  Do you seek my teachings? Very well, very well.
  (or)
  Back already? Your diligence is commendable.
  (or)
  Your visit is welcome. I trust you've kept up your studies.
  (or)
  Oh, there you are. Do you seek my teachings?

• When leaving, having used his services
  Young pupil, do not take my teachings lightly.

• When leaving, without having used his services
  One day, my teachings will save you.

• When walking off without closing the menu
  The path is yet long, young pupil.

• Using 'Talk' option
  The forces of magic, and souls, lie dormant in this land.
  It is a fitting place to hone my sorceries.
  I suspect that I may even conjure up new spells here.
  Sorcery is yet a mystery, even to me. Let us mature together, young pupil.

• Using 'Talk' option
  Use scrolls to unleash the power of sorceries.
  But the power of each scroll is reliant on that of its owner.
  The untrained cannot wield a scroll to its proper potential.
  Never forget, young pupil… There are no shortcuts to mastery.

• When leaving, in No-Man's Wharf after defeating Flexile Sentry
  Young pupil, may we meet again, in Majula.

• When first met in Majula
  Oh, so you've finally decided to join us?
  Let us resume our exploration of sorcery.

• Using 'Talk' option in Majula
  Sorcery and pyromancy thrive in Melfia. I've spent much time there, trying to perfect my art.
  But staying was a mistake. The fools there had no interest in truth.
  Their ambitions were paltry, and their smiles cloying. I was sick to the back teeth of their petty squabbles.
  There was nothing for me in that forsaken land.

• Using 'Talk' option before rescuing Rosabeth
  On my trip here, I met a strange girl once or twice.
  After a time, I never saw her again. I wonder where she went off to.
  We spoke only a few times, but… A fair lass, if a bit clumsy.
  I hope that she is safe.

• Using 'Talk' option in Majula
  I sense a dark power here.
  Something akin to sorcery… Only more…primordial…
  I wish to find out more about it, but as we see, this place is in ruins.
  Just what happened here?

• Using 'Talk' option in Majula
  Sorcery was created long, long ago.
  Some say it was originated by the great pale being…
  But we've no way of knowing if such claims are true.
  Many sorceries were lost over the ages.
  Before pyromancy, there were fire sorceries, but they are long forgotten.

• Using 'Talk' option after Rosabeth moves to Majula
  So, the girl's been here too.
  I'm glad to see her safe, whatever that's worth.

• When giving equipment to the player
  Ah, here, a fitting gift for you.
  Seek higher planes, young pupil.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Stop that!
  (or)
  Have you lost your head?
  (or)
  Damn, you bloody fool!

• When attacked and aggroed
  The arrogance of the young!

• When killing the player
  How very tragic…

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  Behold my true power.

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  Hmph! How very sporting!

• When killed

  Incredible…Now, take these…

• When encountered the first time
  Ahh, look how far this Undead has wandered.
  And a very fit Undead you are.
  A bit too alive, but with a darkish shadow. Yet still unprepared. For a deeper Dark.

  Ooh, my, don't mind me. I'm just talking amongst myself.

Description

Once an underachieving scholar from the famous Melfian Magic Academy, now an unhinged hexer clearly obsessed with Dark.

It's unclear whether he was genuinely drawn to Drangleic in his search of the darkest darkness or was just another Undead who fell for it.

Location

Huntsman's Copse
Right before the Undead Refuge bonfire, sitting in a chair and staring straight into a stone wall.

Use

Sells various hexes. Refuses to deal with anyone who doesn't have at least 8 base Faith and 8 base Intelligence¹.

Sells

Drops

• Sunset Staff
• His armor will be available for purchase from Merchant Hag Melentia.

Notes

• He's impressed by power. Talk to him with at least 20 Faith and 20 Intelligence and he will gift you his hexing apparel and Sunset Staff.
• Stat-boosting items won't count towards his requirements. You must naturally have every point.
• Players may meet his requirements, speak to him once, then soul vessel to return faith and intelligence to base levels, and still have access to his wares upon returning to talk to him.
• Killing him will not affect your standing with the Pilgrims of Dark.
• Same voice actor as Laurentius of the Great Swamp
• Casts Pyromancies with his Sunset Staff when provoked

  Some were rich, others poor. Some wise, some dull, but now, they are all just dead.

• When talking a third time
  Did you come for him? The one called Vendrick.
  You will find him deeper inside.
  Many castle servants and the like have come to fetch their lord.
  But they rest here now, put to death by the King's own guards.
  Perhaps he's not in the mood for company.

• When talking a fourth time / Use 'Talk' option
  In the past, humans were one with the dark.
  The former King of Light…He feared humans. Feared that they would usher in an age of dark.
  How queer, you humans. How you go on, never separating truth from fiction.

• When talking a fifth time / Use 'Talk' option
  This place is welcome to all, provided due reverence is shown.
  Death is equitable, accepting. We will all, one day, be welcomed by her embrace.
  Tell me what you desire. Show me reverence, and I will lend you my hand.

• When talking to open interaction menu
  What do you require, human?

• When leaving, having used his services
  Farewell, human.

• When walking off without closing the menu
  Going so soon?
  We will meet again, eventually.

• When leaving, having not used his services
  Crude human, do as you please.

• Unknown
  …

• When giving equipment to the player
  You've met the King, have you?
  Life is never easy, never fair. Even more so, on this path you've chosen.
  May you find your peace one day.
  Take these with you. You may need them, as proof of your visit here.

• When attacked but not aggroed
  Hmph…
  (or)
  What are you doing.
  (or)
  Are you mad, human?

• When attacked and aggroed
  Crude human, know your place!

• When killing the player
  Now, where shall we bury this one?

• When re-encountered after aggroing
  The insolent will be punished.

• When attacked and health is under 50%
  The impunity…

• When killed
  Hah hah…You fool.

• Unknown
  A long rest awaits me. Farewell, human.

Description

The better half of Vengarl of Forossa, a towering killer infamous enough to murder his way to the top in a country full of cutthroats. After some unknowable incident in the witchtree forest separated Vengarl from his body, the latter stomped off on its own to continue the carnage.

After untold years of sitting motionless in a pile of skulls, Vengarl found contentment and now provides good advice on Drangleic.

Dialogue

All dialogue text is © From Software Inc.

• First Encounter
  1. Leave me be.
     I like it quiet. Leave me be.
  2. What business have you here, traveller?
     You may call me Vengarl. If I deserve a name, in this sorry state.
     Tis rare to flap these gums. This is pleasant.
  3. Long ago, I was hired to defend the kingdom.
     I remember a long, brutal fight, and then… Somebody killed me. Or so I thought…
     I came to, and found myself like this.
     I don't know what explains it, but it's not so bad, really.
     And now I watch the days go by, and gaze at the night sky, thinking of the finer things, far removed from war.
     I'd grown weary of battle, but did not realise it until now.
  4. I know not what brings you on this journey, nor will I deign to ask.
     You may bear a great burden, but don't we all? I prefer to stay my distance.
     But I want to warn you of something. My body.
     I see visions; my body, headless, raging without me.
     My body, wielding my sword, a sword forged only to kill.
     My body will show no mercy. If you see the wretched thing, stay far away.
  5. I learn new things every day. Things never learned in battle.
     And, thanks to you, I've recalled the joy of conversation.
     If I can help you, if you require something, do speak up.

• Using the talk option
  1. I cannot lie. Sometimes I wonder what's become of the kingdom.
     I was a hired hand, yes, but we soldiers stared death in the eye together.
     And for His Highness…I am afraid…
     But, perhaps it is for the best. We knew not what we fought for.
  2. I was born in Forossa. It's a land in the distant east.
     When I was born, we were already mired in prolonged conflict with our neighbours.
     Eventually, our kingdom fell, and our people scattered.
     I've been a sellsword ever since.
     All I ever knew was war, and I can imagine no other way to live.
     What a fool I was.
  3. I am grateful for these peaceful days.
     But such contentment lies only in the here and now.
     Why must life be so confounding…
  4. Thank you, for lending an ear to my ramblings.
     Here, take these. I have no use for them.
     Go along, and resume your journey.

• After defeating his body
  Ah, it was you, who vanquished my body.
  It is my body, you see, and I can sense what happens to it.
  I do not mourn for it. Good riddance!
  If you wish for help, summon me. I am rusty in battle, but will fight by your side.

• Meeting again
  Back again? Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

• Leaving without using his services
  Farewell. I will retire to my silence.

• Leaving after using his services
  Farewell. May we meet again, one day soon.

• Leaving without exiting the menu
  Safe travels, then…

• When attacking
  How dare you!
  You fiend!
  A murderer now, are we?
  As you wish. (HP below 50%)

• When returning after aggroed
  There you are…!

• When killed by player
  Life goes on…

Description

A merchant located in Earthen Peak. Will move to Majula after killing the boss Mytha, the Baneful Queen.

Location

Earthen Peak
Found near the Central Earthen Peak bonfire. Walk upstairs and pass though the door to the balcony with the Manikin. Destroy the wooden balustrade and go left.
He will offer you a ladder for 2,000 souls in order to get a treasure (Pharros' Lockstone and Twinkling Titanite).

Majula
Found sitting next to the Pit in Majula. You don't need to speak to him in Earthen Peak in order for him to move to Majula. He will simply travel here after you kill Mytha the Baneful Queen.
If this happens, you can still collect the above loot by dropping down (the falling height is quite short), along with a Homeward Bone or Aged Feather to safely return.

Use

• Creates ladders down to the Gutter and the Grave of Saints:
  • Small Ladder costs 500 souls.
  • Medium Ladder costs 3,500 souls.
  • Long Ladder costs 12,000 souls.

Sells

Note that when you meet him at Earthen Peak all his items are 20% off.

Drops

• Melu Scimitar
• Ladder Miniature

Notes

• Be aware that there's a poison butterfly above him in Earthen Peak in SOTFS. Under certain rare circumstances, it can kill him. Shoot the bug down as soon as you lay eyes on it.
• After buying the Long Ladder for 12,000 souls, speak to him again to receive the Melu Scimitar as a gift for your "big spend". This will also unlock the 'Garrulous Miser' achievement/trophy.
• If you kill Gilligan, his gravestone will not be where he was but rather behind Saulden, the Crestfallen Warrior.
• He can use lifegems in combat.
• Bug: You may be unable to pick up Gilligans items after killing him if you already bought his Ladder Miniature. You will receive a message stating "Inventory bag is full". To pick up the items, discard the Ladder Miniaturer that you purchased earlier.

• When first encountered
  …Shush, you eejit, stay quiet!

  …It's got death written all over it…

• When offering the ladder in Earthen Peak
  …You want to climb down here?

  …Oh, what is it? What do you need now?

• Using talk option (Earthen Peak menu)
  …Psst, have you heard?
  …Well, apparently there's this monster lady, right…
  …And the poison, well, does wonders for her body…
  …You know, health and beauty, and that sort of stuff…
  …And I thought only human women were so petty!

• Using talk option (Earthen Peak menu)
  …That creature, she was human, once, you know…
  …Hmm, In fact, she was wed to the Prince of that nearby castle…
  …But her husband, hmm, he had feelings for another…
  …The Princess was desperate, and sought eternal beauty…
  …Hoping that it would restore the Prince's, ah, affection, ha you see what I mean…

• Using talk option (Earthen Peak menu)
  …Before long, the Princess' ire transformed her into a monster…
  …Now listen here. When do you think this all happened?
  …Long ago, when this very land was called something else…
  …We say Drangleic now, but…
  …Countless kingdoms have risen and fallen on this very spot…
  …And this won't be the last…oh no…

• Using talk option (Earthen Peak menu)
  …That damned hag just can't let her old flame go…
  …She's going to get us all burned…

• Leaving without seeking further service (Earthen Peak)
  …Fine, then, all the best…

• Leaving without closing menu (Earthen Peak)
  …Oi! Downright rude, really…

• First encounter in Majula
  Wait, you found your way out, too! Hah!
  The name's Gilligan. Don't make me say it twice! Heh heh.
  All right, what do you want?
  I have everything you need! Heh heh heh…

• Revisiting in Majula
  Ah! Back already? Ha.
  (or)
  Hey, what've you been up to!
  (or)
  Come to see auld Gilligan, have you? Hah! (after purchasing ladder)
  (or)
  All right, what'd you forget this time?

• Using talk option (Majula menu)
  Ohhh, I should've listened to the warnings. This place is flippin' mental.
  Huh? No, I wasn't born here. I'm from a wee bit… I'm from a wee bit out west, that's all.
  I've seen some rough times. I think I'll settle down for a while.

• Using talk option (Majula menu)
  You wouldn't believe the shenanigans that happen in my business.
  I thought at least here in the middle of nowhere I could stay clear of, you know, my auld pals.
  Oh, don't ask me what happened! Have you no discretion, me auld chum?

• Using talk option (Majula menu)
  That gaping hole? Hell, search me.
  It's where the people round here toss all their rubbish.
  Corpses or you know what… Whatever they'd rather be rid of.
  Oh, and, and those human statues. Who are they supposed to be?
  Anybody, I suppose. Probably just some auld pagan custom.
  What's it like at the bottom of the hole? Why in the hell would I know! Hah!

• Using talk option (Majula menu)
  Oh, yes, somebody told me that the grave of a… of a saint lies below here.
  Not built by the King, no no. It dates back to a time long before him.
  The tomb connects to that hole.
  And there's…there's…there's something about some…some Rat King down there.
  Hell, if the old rat is as rich as they say, maybe I should go and pay him a visit!

• Using talk option (After long ladder purchase)
  Here you are my friend, you can have these, eh! It's a little bonus, you know, for your big purchase.
  Ah come on, don't look so glum! I'm trying to be nice here!
  You're hopeless, I tell you…

• Requesting Majula ladder service
  You want to go down that awful hole? You must have lost your marbles! Heh heh!
  Fine, sure, fine, I'm happy to be of service.
  You need a ladder, then, sure enough.
  But you'll…you'll have to show some generosity.
  • Accepting 500 souls ladder
    You just don't get it, do you.
    Fine, then, now it's my turn.
  • Accepting 3500 souls ladder
    A very reasonable offer!
    Just you wait! Hm-hm!
  • Accepting 12000 souls ladder
    Well! Really! A very generous offer indeed, especially from you!
    I get such a warm feeling inside when I get the chance to help others!
  • Declining service
    Well! Fine, it's not my business, anyway.

• After purchasing Majula ladder
  Hey, this ladder's not for sale!
  Th…the only things I sell are miniatures. I mean, if that tickles yer fancy, you can buy as many as you like!

• Re-requesting ladder service
  What, you're heading down after all?
  Well, that's fine, but if you want my help, you'll need to make me an offer.

• Leaving after accepting service (Majula)
  Cheers for that! Hah hah!

• Leaving without accepting service (Majula)
  What? Don't waste my time.

• Leaving without closing menu (Majula)
  Oi! Where're you off to now!

  You ungrateful little git! (aggroed)
  You vicious little! I'll not go down that easy! (at 50% HP)

  It's your own damn fault.

• Re-encounter after dying to him
  Why, you…I'll tear you limb from limb!

FoldUnfold Table of Contents Description Location Use Sells Invading Licia Drops Notes KNOWN BUG (Licia's Potential Disappearance from the Game) Dialogue

Description

Lindelt is founded upon stringent commandments.
Its inhabitants often travel to distant lands for ascetic training,
but more than a few of these trainees liberate themselves from Lindelt's teachings in the process.¹

While it's true Licia dedicated herself to miracles, it's rare for anyone to pass through life without trouble.
Even clerics aren't always who they seem.²

Location

Heide's Tower of Flame
She can be found next to the bonfire up the stairs from the Dragonrider boss fight.

Majula
She moves to Majula Rotunda after her dialogue in Heide's is exhausted or after Flexile Sentry is defeated.

Use

Sells Miracles and related items. Opens the path to Huntsman's Copse for 2,000 souls.

Sells

Invading Licia

If four great old ones are defeated, entering the Majula Rotunda causes the Crushed Eye Orb to stir. You may then use the orb to invade Licia's world. She realizes that you have "found her out" and becomes hostile.

She wears the Saint's set and uses an Idol's Chime.

In combat, she uses Wrath of the Gods, Blinding Bolt, a Lightning Spear-like miracle and a healing miracle with a very fast cast time. She can also melee with her chime.
Note that her Wrath of the Gods does physical damage instead of Lightning damage.

The Profound Still hex is very useful when fighting her, as it prevents her from casting any miracles.

Drops

• Rotunda Lockstone
• Saint's set (only after Heide's Tower of Flame)
• Idol's Chime
• Soothing Sunlight (only when invaded)

Notes

• If the player has made her hostile before opening the passage to the Hunstman's Copse, and is having difficulty killing her, a good strategy is to attack her, then run back up into the open. She will follow you there. From here you can stun and move her with your attacks towards the hole leading into The Pit. She will attempt to retreat, but will also attack you and thus give you opportunity, if done patiently, to stunlock her into the hole (a 100% block shield is crucial here, to fully block her Wrath of The Gods castings). She will die from the fall, and the Rotunda Lockstone needed to open the contraption will be by her original position when you next die/visit Majula.
• Another easy way to kill her is to acquire a great lance found in the Forest of Giants near the royal door. Two hand the lance and do R2 attacks, they will knock her off, when she tries to get up, R2 again, she wont be able to do anything.
• Invading and defeating her still counts as Sin.
• She will give the player the Saint's set and an Idol's Chime if they talk to her while having 30 Faith.
• She will have an unlimited stock of her miracles after the Shrine of Winter is open.
• Her Wrath of the Gods spell can be blocked with a 100% physical damage shield.
• Her name is the only instance when Lindelt is spelled Lindeldt. It is unknown which one is the correct version.
• If going for the Gathering of Exiles trophy/achievement, do not kill her when you meet her. She is one of the NPCs required for the trophy.
• This NPC has unused dialogue lines.

KNOWN BUG (Licia's Potential Disappearance from the Game)

If Licia is made hostile in her Heide Tower appearance after the Dragonrider boss and the player does not kill her, there is a potential for her to disappear from the game entirely. Two observed and reported cases exist and provide context into two different situations:

• A player poisoned Licia but died before she did. Licia had low enough HP that the poison effect would have killed her. This caused Licia to completely despawn from their game.
• A player made Licia hostile, and she dropped to the base of the stairs leading up to the bonfire. The player was killed by Licia's miracles, and Licia presumably fell into the water, dying, although this was not directly observed. Note that Melentia sold Licia's gear after this event, confirming her death by some force. This also caused her to be completely removed from the game. Note also that Licia's items that she normally drops on death are removed from the game, and her gravestone does not spawn under any circumstances. The only way to complete the game at this point is to farm enough souls to pass through the Shrine of Winter, as Licia will be gone until the next NG cycle. There remains no possible way to rotate the passage that connects Heide's Tower of Flame, Majula, and Huntsmans Copse.

Dialogue

• First Encounter
  Are you from these parts?
  My name is Licia.
  I have come to spread the art of miracles, a practice of which I am a disciple.
  I can see that you are well suited to comprehend their wondrous power.
  But the cost of it? That's for your heart to decide.

• Meeting again (Tower of Flame)
  Just speak up if you're in need of miracles.
  That's why I'm here, after all.

• Meeting again (Rotunda)
  Oh, hello there… An honour to see you again.
  This room is not as it seems. There are two, not one, pathways leading out.
  And only this lovely thing reveals the other path.
  And this, you lovely thing… Only runs on miracles!
  Shall I provide you with one?

• Using Talk Option (Tower of Flame)
  I'd heard awful rumours about this place, and I'm afraid they were all true.
  The king, gone. The earth, ravaged. The burden on the people weighs heavy.
  I fear that by now, they may have scarce room in their hearts for miracles…

• Using Talk Option (Tower of Flame)
  Why did I come here? Well…
  Do I need any other reason, than to spread the gospel of miracles?
  My preceptor always said this art should be shared with the world.
  And such is my only wish.

• Using Talk Option (Tower of Flame)
  Sometimes I fight the urge to pack up and go back home.
  It is, well…I must do this.
  And being out here all alone only makes this a more fitting test of my fortitude.

• Using Talk Option (Tower of Flame)
  I expected this cathedral to be bustling, but there's hardly a soul to be found here.
  Without any goings-on, I'll have to move soon.
  To a place I could gull the…
  Sorry, help the gullible by teaching the good word…Hah hah…

• Using Talk Option (Rotunda)
  To cast miracles, you must have strong faith in the gods.
  Miracles began as tales told by gods.
  We preserve their will with lore, pray to their greatness, and are blessed in return.
  You must nourish your faith.

• Using Talk Option (Rotunda)
  Miracles have been passed down through us since the First Flame.
  Isn't it extraordinary to think they've existed since the very origins of the world?
  And now, you can have this power for yourself. Don't miss out on the road to enlightenment!

• Using Talk Option (Rotunda)
  What is the First Flame?
  Well, it's…
  Hmm, you're not ready to comprehend it, I'm afraid!
  You require more faith! And more miracles. Many more miracles!

• Moving Path
  Go ahead, then.

• After defeating four old ones
  You've had quite a journey, I can see…
  You must have a glorious number of souls by now…
  What a wonderful feeling that must be…Heh heh…

• When invading
  Curses…Puzzled me out, have you?
  At least now I can finish you off, guilt-free! Hah hah!

• When gifting the player with items
  You deserve to have these. For your faith has truly deepened.
  Go on, and seek greater miracles. With your faith, you deserve no less!

• Leaving after using her services
  May the power of miracles be with you.
  Offer your souls to the gods.

• Leaving without using her services
  No need for miracles?
  The gods frown upon such soul scrimpers!

• Leaving without exiting menu
  Oh? Done so soon?

• When attacking
  Please, stop this!
  Hyahh! I've no choice, now! (aggro'd)

• When killing (non-invasion)
  Have faith…
