AppearanceEdit

Oscar is equipped with full Elite Knight armor, a Crest Shield, and an Astora's Straight Sword. What his face looks like is unknown.

PlotEdit

Oscar appears in the Undead Asylum, where he rescues the player character from imprisonment by dropping a corpse with the Dungeon Cell Key into the cell. He is later found dying, where he gives the player five Estus Flasks and the Undead Asylum F2 East Key. If the player had defeated the Asylum Demon in the first encounter, the Big Pilgrim's Key will also be given.

Oscar is encountered again upon revisiting the Undead Asylum, as a hollow enemy. He drops the Crest Shield and two thousand souls upon defeat.

StrategyEdit

Oscar alternates between using his sword two-handed and single handed, and kicking the player for heavy stamina reduction. His attacks are somewhat painful, but he also moves slowly for an NPC enemy, allowing for plenty of opportunities to heal. He has the heavy roll, making it easy to strafe him. Also, unlike other hollows, he does not heal. However, he also has very high amount of hitpoints and it may take a while to chip his health down unless the player is bringing a good weapon or spells.

LoreEdit

Oscar was likely a high-ranking knight from Astora,^[1] who was determined to seek out Lordran once he turned Undead. Exactly how he ended up in the Undead Asylum and why he rescues the player is unknown; no other characters make mention of him.

Hear me out, will you? Answer 'Yes'(NG) ...Regrettably, I have failed in my mission... But perhaps you can keep the torch lit... There is an old saying in my family... Thou who art Undead, art chosen... In thine exodus from the Undead Asylum, maketh pilgrimage to the land of Ancient Lords... When thou ringeth the Bell of Awakening, the fate of the Undead thou shalt know... Well, now you know... And I can die with hope in my heart... Oh, one more thing... Here, take this... An Estus Flask, an Undead favourite... Oh, and this... Answer 'Yes'(NG+) ...Regrettably, I have failed in my mission... But perhaps you can keep the torch lit... There is an old saying in my family... Thou who art Undead, art chosen... In thine exodus from the Undead Asylum, maketh pilgrimage to the land of Ancient Lords...

I would hate to harm you after death... So, go now... And thank you... Killing him Hrggkt... But... Why...

TriviaEdit

In the credits, he is acknowledged as "Knight of the Undead Asylum". His name is not mentioned in-game; however, he is identified as "Oscar, Knight of Astora" in a text dump extracted from unused game files.

Removed ContentEdit

Oscar was originally meant to play a much larger role in Dark Souls. His removed dialogue suggests that he was to be a summonable in Anor Londo and the Darkroot Garden. In addition, he seemed fated to confront the player at some point in the game.
