Weaponsmith Ornifex

Description


A harpy, similar to the ones found in the Painted World of Ariamis in Dark Souls.
She is a blacksmith capable of imbuing souls to equipment, creating unique items based on the soul's original owner, a skill which she claims was inherited from a strange pale beast that inhabited the land long ago.

Location


Shaded Woods
From the Shaded Ruins bonfire, she is found locked in an underground cave, below the false floor. Requires the Fang Key from the petrified lion statue near the bonfire to free her. You must exhaust all of her dialogue to get her to move.

Brightstone Cove Tseldora
Will move here once freed. In the room with many statues. Next to the Lower Brightstone Cove bonfire.

  • When saved in Shaded Ruins
    1. Thank you for helping me.
      I am Ornifex.
      I owe you some form of thanks, but have nothing for you at the moment.
      If it would not trouble you, could you visit my abode just down the way?
    2. Thank you, kind traveller.
      I believe that I can be of assistance if you would visit me at my home.
  • When first met in Brighstone Cove
    1. Oh, we meet again, kind traveller.
      This is my workshop.
      In your tongue, I believe I would be called a blacksmith.
      I create all manner of equipment, using an ancient technique unique to my…people.
      Normally I only cater to a very select few…
      But I have a debt to you. I will craft one thing of your choice.
      My wares are far from ordinary.
      I am certain that they will please you.
      I require no payment this time. But you must bring me a Wondrous Soul.
      My technique absolutely requires it. I trust you will understand.
    2. If you provide a Wondrous Soul, I will create one thing of your choice.
      I require no payment this time. It is my way of saying thanks.
  • When talking to open interaction menu
    What do you desire?
    (or)
    Do you have a Wondrous Soul?
    (or)
    Hello there. Do you have a Wondrous Soul?
    (or)
    Hello there. What can I do for you?
  • When leaving, having used her services
    Come back again if you find another soul.
  • When leaving, having not used her services
    Come again, if it please you.
  • When walking off without closing the menu
    Be safe.
  • Use 'Talk' option
    1. The nature of an item is greatly influenced by the soul that was used to create it.
      They can be tricky to use, but when wielded properly, are extremely powerful.
      This is what I meant by unique. These wares are not for use by ordinary folk.
    2. It's hard to believe now, but this land was once a flourishing kingdom.
      Its king, Vendrick, came close to unlocking the essence of the soul.
      What a dazzling soul he surely had…
      Imagine what I might create with such a powerful soul…
    3. It is said that our technique originates from a strange being that inhabited this land.
      A pale beast that lived long, long ago. We don't even know what exactly it was.
      If you find a Wondrous Soul, bring it by for me to have a look.
    4. Do you find me strange? Skee hee.
      You humans are always this way. The way you glare at any unfamiliar creature.
      That mix of curiosity, fear, and revulsion.
      Oh, well. It hardly concerns me.
  • When attacked but not aggroed
    Skwaa!
    (or)
    What are you…!
    (or)
    Stop this!
  • When attacked and aggroed
    Oh, as you please…
  • When killing the player
    What a bother.
  • When re-encountered after aggroing
    You again?
  • When attacked and health is under 50%
    The impunity…
  • When killed
    You humans are all alike…
  • Unknown
    May we meet again.
