Wikia

Lord's Blade Ciaran is a character in Dark Souls. She is exclusive to the Artorias of the Abyss DLC.

LocationEdit

Found in the coliseum of Oolacile Township after defeating Knight Artorias.

PlotEdit

Ciaran appears after Artorias is defeated, asking the player for the Soul of Artorias. She rewards the player with the Gold Tracer and the Dark Silver Tracer if given the Soul of Artorias. It is possible that she was romantically involved with Artorias, before he was lost to the Abyss.

LoreEdit

She is one of the Four Knights of Gwyn and owner of the Hornet Ring; she wore it while using her dagger to lay waste to her foes.^[1]

StrategyEdit

Ciaran utilizes Throwing Knives and Lloyd's Talismans. Her attacks can be quite damaging given their speed and Toxic/Bleed buildup, and she has much more health than the average NPC.

NotesEdit

Her Dark Silver Tracer causes Toxic buildup and 6 damage per second once contracted.
Although she will not drop her weapons if they have already been traded for the Soul of Artorias, she still wields them in battle.
She will not drop the Soul of Artorias upon death if it has been traded.

Introduction	...You, is that not... The soul of the man who fell on this spot, he was a dear friend. I wish to pay proper respect, with that Soul. Would you be willing to part with it?
Answering "Yes"	Thank you, you are very kind. Please take this, I no longer need it. May the Lord guide thee.
Answering "No"	Yes, of course... I must not be presumptous, Artorias would not have approved.
Talk after answering "No"	What is it? Something else? Have you changed your mind?
Answering "No" again	...Then you have no business with me...
Talk without possessing the Soul of Artorias	...Are you human? ...I forgive you. I'm here to pay respects to a dear friend. Please allow me a moment alone.
Attacking her	Hmph, you humans... Always taking what you please. Then, I shall do the same.
She kills the player	Hmph, such conceit... How did you imagine that the Lord's Blade would not reach you?
Killing her	But, how... You humans... My dear Artorias
