Despite the change in lighting, the Untended Graves is recognizably the same area from the beginning of our journey. In fact, we can confirm that we have found our way back to the exact same location by warping to either after leaving items or souls to collect; even both of their bonfires are grouped under […]
Among all the Crystal Sages’ apprentices, Kriemhild was their favorite. Having learned all of their advanced sorceries, the “crystal maiden” (結晶の娘) undoubtedly became the elders’ star pupil. It is because of this exceptional intelligence and concentration that they gifted her a unique staff formed from part of a tree growing around one of their crystal […]
Consider that is where we arrive when first traveling there, it is easy to assume that the High Wall simply refers to Lothric’s outer defenses. The walls we warp atop do tower high above the city, with only the castle at its center surpassing them in height. But the description for the Small Lothric Banner […]

The Stray Demon patrolling the end closest to Lothric is the city’s gatekeeper, indicating that the gate he keeps is the structure behind him — one of several checkpoints along the bridge’s entire length, the gateway now blocked by […]
Gundyr wears “very” old armor, the helmet made to resemble a king wearing his crown. This implicates Gundyr himself as a king — any warrior of lesser status would be dangerously disrespecting the lord he actually served, otherwise. Indeed, his name “Gunda” (グンダ) derives from Gundahar, (グンダハール) whose life inspired legends of the warrior king […]
Flash of Light We encounter the Dragonslayer Armour on the bridge linking Lothric Castle to its Grand Archives, specifically just after passing through sections dominated by soldiers and knights. This suggests that the boss is army property, and the iron armor’s chief purpose supports this. The Dragonslayer Greataxe and Greatshield “slightly revive” their one-time wielder’s […]
The cinematic opens with a massive desert littered with half-buried ruins. The accompanying narration informs us that we are looking at Lothric, which the Japanese subtitles further clarify to be where the homelands of the Lords of Cinder “drift” to. Indeed, we can see pilgrims journeying at the foot of the castle city, and the […]
