The slaves kept by Lothric Castle are consistently called “petty”, (卑小) a trifling bunch keeping their scrawny forms close to the ground below the notice of their masters; with how they comport themselves, you would be forgiven for not noticing that they match our size at their full height. Armed mainly with slipshod hatchets, speed […]
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 […]
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 several checkpoints along the bridge’s entire length, the gateway now blocked by […]
Prince Lothric was born destined to be a Lord of Cinder, but who decided this destiny for him? Making a Lothric prince a King of Kindling is called the work of Lothric’s blood as well as the royalty’s dearest wish, and the head of the royalty is King Oceiros. In that case, he had brought […]
The Crystal Sages are a curious pair of twins, possibly fraternal twins in particular. Although their faces and body types are obscured, the Sage encountered in Farron is bald while the one encountered at the Grand Archives has long brown hair, potentially hinting that the former is male while the latter is female. Regardless, the […]
Strength of a Knight Lothric’s royal government is divided into three “Pillars” which have supported the monarchy since the kingdom’s foundation. 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 […]
Despite her rather prominent presence in the Boreal Valley, Gwynevere is noticeably absent from the record during the rise and subsequent tyranny of Pontiff Sulyvahn. There is no mention of the goddess being confined to the Anor Londo cathedral like Gwyndolin, and her old seat there remains empty. Neither is there reference to her being […]
