The tomb can be constitute by using the spiraling staircase on the rotating bridge while the bridge is in its everyman position and descending to the second accessible blaze. If the histrion wears the Darkmoon Seance Band in this location, Gwyn'due south statue volition vanish and Gwyndolin'south fog door will exist revealed.

Plot

Gwyndolin initiates players into the Bract of the Darkmoon covenant. He accepts Souvenirs of Reprisal in exchange for increasing the player's rank in the covenant.

Lore

Gwyndolin was the last-born son of Lord Gwyn and the merely true remaining deity to guard Anor Londo.^[1] He was raised as a girl due to his strong amalgamation with the moon'southward ability.^[2] He uses the illusion of the princess Gwynevere to assist hide his repulsive appearance.^[3]

Past the events of Dark Souls III, Gwyndolin has become the main effigy of authorisation and worship in Anor Londo, taking his begetter's title as Male monarch of the Gods.^[4] As well as continuing to watch over those who link the Fire, Gwyndolin appeared to exist tracking downwardly descendants of the gods who fled Anor Londo millenia prior and bringing them back to Irithyll.^[5] The exact reason as to why he was doing this is unknown, though it could be that he was trying to ensure that the power of the gods connected to alive on.

He ruled alongside his apparent sister, Yorshka, a young crossbreed girl. Although the exact nature of their familial ties is unclear, it is known that Gwyndolin thought very highly of her as he provided her with his own personal Chime as well equally her proper noun.^[6]

A former denizen of the Painted Earth, Sulyvahn would later inflitrate the city of Irithyll and the Darkmoon arrangement in society to usurp it from within, after having earned the favour of the god. It is highly implied that Sulyvahn worked his fashion upwardly the power system in Irithyll, all the while corrupting the clergy and enforcing his position amid the highest ranks of the Way of White.^{[vii] [8] [9]}

Gwyndolin would later get stricken with an illness then astringent that he could no longer atomic number 82 his own Covenant or the city. As he was too sick to lead his own Covenant, its leadership passed to Yorshka, who was shortly thereafter imprisoned by Sulyvahn who took complete command of the metropolis and claimed the title of Pontiff.^[10] The God of the Darkmoon was so imprisoned himself, within the ruins of the erstwhile cathedral of Anor Londo.^[xi]

Later on Aldrich was revived as a Lord of Cinder, he rapidly became disillusioned with his throne and journeyed to Irithyll in order to consume the imprisoned god.^{[12] [13]} One time he arrived, he began to slowly consume Gwyndolin, who was most likely powerless to fight back, both physically and spiritually, gaining access to his knowledge of Priscilla and Nito while he was dreaming.^{[14] [15]} However, the Unkindled arrived halfway through consumption and Aldrich took control of Gwyndolin's body/power in order to defend himself as he was vulnerable while consuming the god. Gwyndolin was released from his gruesome fate when the Unkindled slew the Lord of Cinder, ending the god'southward torment and finally allowing him to die.^[16]

Strategies

Gwyndolin'due south boss battle takes place in a seemingly neverending corridor.

He is not a very difficult boss if the thespian has decent dodging skills. Of his iii attacks, two can be avoided by hiding backside pillars, while the last one is more powerful and fast (he will tend to utilize the Sphere Shot subsequently Orb Spread if the player is hiding backside pillars). The main consequence in this fight is reaching him, as he will teleport away when the player approaches (equipping the Ring of Fog may increase the time available to attack earlier he teleports), meaning that the best time to sew together to him is when he is just finishing off his Arrow Spread, equally he takes a few moments to recover. Gwyndolin tin can withal be damaged while he is in his teleporting animation and for a split 2d afterwards really moving, so it is possible to deal considerable damage at that moment.

Both the Orb and Pointer Spread attacks are avoidable by hiding behind one of the pillars on either side of the corridor. The Sphere Shot, on the other hand, will go through walls, inflicting full damage if not blocked or avoided. The Orb Spread and Sphere Shot are Magic-based, though, so a shield that can block 100% physical damage and has good Magic resistance, similar the Crest Shield, is recommended for this fight.

While devastating, both the Sphere Shot and Arrow Spread attacks have no tracking whatsoever and are hands avoided but by running diagonally. If a player does not want to gamble it too much, a adept strategy to catch up to him is by moving from colonnade to pillar until they are about two pillars away from Gwyndolin and then wait until he shoots his Pointer Spread. This assail can consist of 2-to-four arrow barrages. Look until he finishes the second one and go for him, if he shoots any subsequent arrows, dodge them by running diagonally.

Alternatively, once Gwyndolin teleports the first time upon inbound the tomb, it is possible to motion closer to him to a bespeak only exterior his aggro range; then, by equipping the Hawk Ring and using the Dragonslayer Greatbow, the histrion can easily defeat him from range without him retaliating.

• The Darkmoon Knightess will become hostile if Gwyndolin has been challenged, regardless of whether he was defeated or not.
