The name “Twin Princes” (双王子) doesn’t necessarily indicate that Lothric’s royal brothers are actual twins versus magically paired together thanks to their curse. That said, the term is close enough (双子) for wordplay, and it would explain the two’s close bond despite living completely different lives — twins are known for such extraordinary relationships, at […]
The description for the Follower Torch notes the historical use of fire to combat a “pus” manifestation of the Abyss within man. Indeed, the Dark of humanity has produced a viscous substance akin to pus in past games, and flame has always been the means to drive away darkness. However, we have never before seen […]
Born a later generation of archdragon, Midir had the most peculiar upbringing for his kind. Rather than be hunted like the rest, he was raised by the gods of Anor Londo, which explains why he bears name of Celtic origin like so many of them. And not just any of those gods either. Old Moonlight […]
The massive bridge spanning between Lothric and the Undead Settlement was built to connect the two. 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 many checkpoints along the bridge’s entire length, the gateway now blocked by […]

Regardless, the […]

They appear to be formally recognized branches of government. We can acquire unique rings engraved with the image of each respective Pillar, boosting an appropriate stat to match. Although the items’ descriptions don’t mention […]
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 […]
