Plot

Saulden and the warrior

Saulden and the warrior meet for the first time.

Dark Souls II: Into the Light opens with a lone warrior encountering a man sitting next to a bonfire. The warrior tells the man that he doesn't want to cause any harm and advises him to extinguish the bonfire as quickly as possible since it could attract other people with murderous intent. The man appreciates the kind words of the warrior and invites him to sit around the fire for a while. He introduces himself as Saulden and then proceeds to ask the warrior why he has come to "these foul lands" to which the warrior only answers that he has come to find a cure for a curse.
