Alsanna, Silent Oracle

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

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.

Loyce Souls	Reward
5	Loyce Gauntlets Loyce Leggings
15	Loyce Armor
35	Loyce Helm
50	Soul of Alsanna, Silent Oracle

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.

• 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…
