- "Err, oh, hello there! W-welcome, to my shop. I-I'm Maughlin, and I sell armour. Oh, sorry, I… Please, do have a look at my wares. I could really use the business… If you'd be so kind…"
- — Maughlin the Armorer
Maughlin the Armorer is a character and merchant in Dark Souls II. He is voiced by Richard Standing.
Lore[]
A merchant hailing from the distant western land of Volgen, Maughlin travels from land to land selling his wares. However, as a result of his progressively failing business, he has drifted both into depression and Drangleic.[1]
Maughlin explains that he was an unsuccessful merchant back in Volgen, and that it was impossible for him to get off the ground because a group calling themselves the Blue Sentinels won't allow anyone to trade without paying them first. He expresses his outrage at the Blue Sentinels, condemning their claims to be serving the greater good as "absolute hogwash".[2]
Plot[]
Upon first encountering Maughlin, he will remark how he came to Majula in search of new customers away from the greedy merchants of his homeland, Volgen. Maughlin will at first only sell a few basic sets of armor; however, his variety will gradually increase as the player spends more souls on his wares.
- After spending a total of 1,000 souls at his shop, Maughlin will begin selling the Royal Soldier Set and the Elite Knight Set, as well as boss armors to the player; however, the respective boss must be killed first.
- After spending a total of 15,000 souls at his shop, Maughlin will gloat about how rich he has become and begin selling the unique Alva Set, an incredibly lightweight medium armor set with high defense.
- If he is visited with no souls in the soul counter (after spending 15,000 souls at his shop), he will gift the player the Aurous' Set (transparent), for free.
- After reaching bonfire intensity 2 in Majula, he will sell the Moon Butterfly Set excluding the hat. At bonfire intensity 3, he will sell the Moon Butterfly Hat.
Maughlin is initially portrayed as meek, shy and depressed; a result of his failing efforts as a merchant. However, as the game progresses, his armory shop begins selling well and his confidence grows. Eventually, business begins booming and Maughlin is overjoyed, citing that he's rich and he doesn't have to return to his home anymore. However, he begins struggling to remember where his home actually is.

Trivia[]
- Maughlin will call out the Bluemoon Greatsword as a fake should he still be reasonably broke. However, once 15,000 souls have been spent at his shop, he will not comment on it.
