In the back of Drangleic Castle, at the end of the King’s Passage, lies the impressive “brave warrior’s chamber” (勇士の間) for the castle’s mightiest. This hall of heroes is a trial ground, where their valor is tested against the Looking Glass Knight. Fashioned with silvery metal, the boss’ weapons and armor incorporate crowns of thorns, […]
Even if beckoned by the guidance of grace, war between the Erdtree kingdom and the fire giants was inevitable. The description for Fire’s Deadly Sin explains how burning the Erdtree is, naturally, the first cardinal sin — what greater sin is there than to destroy the divinity which your kingdom was built around? For Godfrey […]
The Fire Monks are supposed to keep watch from their mountaintop, and yet we find them in Liurnia. With camps to both the east and west, the warrior monks lead the thorn sorcerers in patrols around their area, the red tents and Prelate-head braziers confirming that these encampments weren’t taken over from local Cuckoos. They […]
Kaiden is home to the mercenaries we see roaming the frontier. And while we don’t find even ruins of a settlement by that name, we shouldn’t expect to. True to their name’s origin in Celtic, the Kaiden are a hardy “warrior” culture, roaring before battle like barbarians on the highlands; their helmet even bears similarity […]
As we approach Irithyll Dungeon, we are invaded by a familiar face, or rather name: Alva. Although never seen in person during the events of Dark Souls II, (DS2) there is no mistaking his iconic set of armor. Both protective and lightweight, it was perfect equipment for the man whom bards still extol as the […]
Catarina is the same as it has always been. It is a country characterized by its jolly disposition, the yang to Carim’s yin. The people’s big, wide-eyed smiles are matched by a hearty laugh cheering as they down a tankard of alcohol. They are straightforward and honest, never hiding their anger. After all, the honorable […]
The tale of Alva is a true romance in every sense. Wearing lightweight yet highly protective armor, the knight was suited to wandering the lands. As to which country he hailed from, however, it may be one of the many that rose and fell on Drangleic during the land’s long history. Maughlin adds Alva’s armor […]
Exploring the Undead Settlement, we might come across a locked room, forcing us to drop through a hole in the ceiling to enter. Inside, we will find ourselves in a quaint little residence — at least what amounts to one in this shanty town. On the stove for us to eat sits a warm pot […]
Beneath Priscilla’s old tower in Ariandel is a grave with a warrior’s sword, tended to by a gravekeeper. And from the Champion’s Bones acquired after the Gravetender is dead, this tombstone belongs to an Undead who began fighting as part of a competition of strength with other Undead. The gravekeeper was previously the champion’s page, […]
Saulden struggles to call Majula, original name Madula, (マデューラ) a settlement in its current state, but there is no denying that these ruins once belonged to a thriving village on the western corner of Drangleic. According to the description for the House Key, Majula was around when every “abominable” thing imaginable was being dumped down […]
