A Bequeathed Lord Soul Shard is a unique Soul item in Dark Souls. They are used to partially satiate the Lordvessel, and gain access to the Kiln of the First Flame.

Availability[]

Both the Four Kings and Seath the Scaleless drop a Bequeathed Lord Soul Shard upon their defeat.

Backstory[]

Bequeathed Lord Soul Shards differ from Lord Souls in that they are shards of a the Lord Soul of Gwyn. The owners of these shards were awarded them because Gwyn recognized the talent of the Four Kings of New Londo as leaders, and because Seath aided the Lords in the war of the Dragons.

Item descriptions[]

Soul of The Four Kings[]

In-Game Description

Soul of one of the Four Kings, who fell to the Dark. A fragment of a Lord Soul discovered at the dawn of the Age of Fire.
Lord Gwyn recognized the foresight of these four great leaders of New Londo, and granted them their ranks and the fragments of a great soul. Although this is not a full Lord Soul, it can still satiate the Lordvessel.

Soul of Seath the Scaleless[]

In-Game Description

Soul of the albino dragon, Seath the Scaleless. A fragment of a Lord Soul discovered at the dawn of the Age of Fire.
Seath allied with Lord Gwyn and turned upon the dragons; for this he was awarded Dukedom embraced by the royalty, and given a fragment of a great soul. Although just a piece, it will still satiate the Lordvessel.

Trivia[]

  • A more accurate translation of the "Soul of Seath the Scaleless" would be: "Seath betrayed the Ancient Dragons and supported King Gwyn. Later, when he became the son-in-law(外戚) of the King and was made Duke, he was given a fragment of his great soul."
    This confirms the fact that Seath became a part of the royal family of the gods of Anor Londo through marriage with one of the daughters of Gwyn.
