Overview
- Location
- Undead Asylum, both at the start of the game and again on the player's forced return there later. Initially found behind a broken wall, accessible after triggering the iron ball trap.
- Access condition
- Requires triggering the iron ball trap mechanism to break through to his initial location.
- Can die
- yes
- Death or hostility conditions
- Dies shortly after the player's first meeting with him regardless of player action -- his death is scripted, playing out off-screen and ending with his body disappearing. On the player's forced return to the Undead Asylum later in the game, he reappears Hollowed and hostile at his original death location, and must be fought; killed in that state, he drops the Crest Shield.
- Keeps selling if hostile survives
- not applicable
- Dialogue progression
- Asks the player to accept his mission (to ring the bells of awakening), then gifts the Estus Flask and the Undead Asylum F2 East Key (or the Big Pilgrim's Key instead, if the player has already killed the Asylum Demon at that point) before dying.
- Relocates
- no
- Relocation note
- none recorded
- Note
- The first NPC met in the game and the source of the player's starting Estus Flask.
