"Aye, siwmae. And good day to you. I'm Domhnall of Zena. I'm just, well, a peddler, of sorts. I adore trinkets and oddities, so I trade for them."
— Domhnall of Zena

Domhnall of Zena is a merchant in Dark Souls. He is voiced by Matt Morgan, who also voiced the Crestfallen Warrior.

Location[]

  • Domhnall of Zena is found in the sewers of the Depths, inside the room with the door to Blighttown.
  • After ringing both Bells of Awakening, he will move to the Firelink Shrine beneath the aqueduct, next to the corpse with the Ring of Sacrifice.
  • He might stay in the Depths even after you rang both Bells and defeated O&S for unknown reasons.

Plot[]

Domhnall is an eccentric peddler who sells rare crystallized equipment and boss armor, but only after the player defeats the corresponding boss.

Lore[]

Domhnall was born in Zena[1]. but very little else is known about him aside from his fascination with trinkets and oddities. His wares include the weapons wielded by the crystal hollows in The Duke's Archives, suggesting that he may have previously visited or fled from there, or that he is capable of crystallization. He also sells a copy of his Armor Set, hinting that he may have robbed it, and that the set he wears may be stolen as well.

Strategy[]

Domhnall attacks much like any other NPC. Fighting him at the Firelink Shrine can be dangerous with the cliffs on either side. However, the terrain can be exploited by kicking or forcing him off a ledge.
