Kingseeker Frampt

Description

Kingseeker Frampt is a friend to the Great Lord Gwyn. Since Gwyn became the fuel for the First Flame, Frampt, as Kingseeker, is currently looking for a new Great Lord to prolong the Age of Fire. He tasks the chosen Undead to travel to Anor Londo to acquire the Lordvessel, then collect powerful Souls to satiate the Lordvessel so that the chosen Undead can take Lord Gwyn's place.

Location

Firelink Shrine
Appears after ringing both Bells of Awakening. He'll appear from the hole at the pool area, now drained of water, near the "quest item" treasure chest.

Use

• The only way you can "sell" your items for souls. You cannot "buy" back items "sold" to Frampt. Use the "Feed Item" option on his dialogue options.
• Break down higher ranked Titanites for a number of lower ranked ones. The option will only appear if you have the corresponding Titanite. (e.g. the option "Feed Titanite Slab" won't appear if you don't have any Titanite Slab in your inventory)
• Warps you to Firelink Altar and vice-versa. Use the "Warp" option on his dialogue options.

Feed	Return
Large Titanite Shard	5x Titanite Shard
Green Titanite Shard	5x Titanite Shard
Titanite Chunk	3x Large Titanite Shard
Blue Titanite Chunk	3x Green Titanite Shard
White Titanite Chunk	3x Green Titanite Shard
Red Titanite Chunk	3x Green Titanite Shard
Titanite Slab	2x Titanite Chunk
Blue Titanite Slab	2x Blue Titanite Chunk
White Titanite Slab	2x White Titanite Chunk
Red Titanite Slab	2x Red Titanite Chunk

Notes

• After you ring the first Bell of Awakening, you can hear his snores (with subtitles) when you walk in the pool area in Firelink Shrine.

• If you drop into the hole while he's asleep and place the Lordvessel then warp back out and speak with him again, he'll state that you are not the chosen and leave. You can still hop down to deliver the Souls though.

• Any time you visit him after changing area, you may find him sleeping. Attack him once to wake him up. More than one hit will make him become hostile and he will leave your current game cycle.

• Feeding items to Frampt can show some backstory in itself, primarily by looking at the soul value of various items.
  • He seems to like Dragon equipment, anything related to Lord Gwyn, anything worn by females, and he seems to be friends with Havel the Rock. He'll give you 5,000 souls for all dragon weapons (except Moonlight Greatsword); 1,000 souls for female clothing (including Goddess Fina's Set of Favor); and higher souls than usual for Havel's Greatshield (1,000 souls, much more than the 50/100 typical of most shields) and Havel's Ring (1,000 souls, tenfold what other typical rings trade for).
  • Conversely, he hates Smough and Seath. Soul of Smough, Smough's Set, Moonlight Greatsword, Channeler equipment, and all Crystal weapons trade for only 1 soul.

• You can sell him all normal soul shards for 500; therefore, feeding Frampt Soul of a Lost Undead and Large Soul of a Lost Undead (worth 200 and 400 souls respectively) is more beneficial than consuming them directly.

Bug Notes

• There appears to be a glitch in NG+ playthroughs where you will not get the option to break down upgrade materials carried over from previous playthroughs. This can be fixed by removing all of these materials from your inventory (either by depositing them in the bottomless box, or by dropping them), then reacquiring them.

Video: Kingseeker Frampt's Dialogues

• After ringing the first Bell of Awakening, when you walk over the pool area
  Hrng… Hrngg…

• After ringing both Bells of Awakening, first time speaking with him
  Ahh, hello. Was it you who rang the Bell of Awakening?
  I am the Primordial Serpent, Kingseeker Frampt, close friend of the Great Lord Gwyn.
  Chosen Undead, who has rung the Bell of Awakening.
  I wish to elucidate your fate.
  Do you seek such enlightenment?
  • Answer "Yes"
    Very well. Then I am pleased to share.
    Chosen Undead. Your fate is… to succeed the Great Lord Gwyn.
    So that you may link the Fire, cast away the Dark, and undo the curse of the Undead.
    To this end, you must visit Anor Londo, and acquire the Lordvessel.
  • Answer "No"
    By the Lords… Are you certain?
    Well, perhaps I was wrong.
    There can be only one chosen undead. I will continue my search… You are freed from duty.
    But then again, you did ring the Bell of Awakening.
    I will stay here a while. Speak with me if you should change your mind.

• Greeting
  I am pleased to see you well.
  Is it something urgent?

• Using "Talk" option
  Those who seek the Realm of the Lords must brave Sen's Fortress, a deadly house of traps.
  Many have gone before you, but none have returned.
  Fate has chosen you, but proceed with caution.

• Leaving
  Farewell.
  Chosen Undead. I remain here, and await thee.

• Awakening him
  … Hm? No, no, I'm fine, I'm fine.
  Well and wide awake!
  Do not treat me like an old withering snake.

• Speak after retrieving the Lordvessel
  Heavens! You have done it! You have retrieved the Lordvessel!
  After a thousand years! It is you, it is really you!
  Hraaaoogggh!
  …
  Forgive me. I really should calm down.
  Now, let us take that vessel on a journey.
  I assume that you are ready. Now, be still!

• After he "warped" you to the Firelink Altar
  This is the Firelink Chamber, for the successor of Lord Gwyn.
  Now, place the Lordvessel on the altar.

• Speak to him before putting the Lordvessel
  What is it? Place the Lordvessel on the altar.
  No reason for pause at this point.

• Speak after placing the Lordvessel on the altar
  Very well.
  As Kingseeker, I shall now instruct you, the Lord's successor in your next task.
  To achieve your fate, fill the vessel with powerful souls,
  commensurate to the great soul of Gwyn.
  Scarce few possess such brilliant souls.
  Gravelord Nito, the Witch of Izalith,
  the Four Kings of New Londo, who inherited the shards of Gwyn's soul…
  and Lord Gwyn's former confidant, Seath the Scaleless.
  All of their souls are required to satiate the lordvessel.
  …
  Are you ready?
  Then we shall return. Stay still for a moment!

• Using "Talk" option after placing the Lordvessel
  The beings who possess these souls have outlived their usefulness, or have chosen the path of the wicked.
  As the primordial serpent, I implore you to defeat them, and claim their souls.
  Let there be no guilt; let there be no vacillation.

• Speak after filling the Lordvessel
  Ahhh… ohh!
  The Lordvessel is satiated…
  Magnificent… You are the righteous successor to Gwyn, the new Great Lord.
  And I am Kingseeker no more…
  Your acquaintance was an honour.
  I must admit, I am fond of you humans.
  May you enjoy serendipity,
  And may the Age of Fire perpetuate.

• When attacked without made hostile
  • Hmg!
  • Hrg!
  • Agh!
  • Ooph!

• After made him hostile (by attacking him or placing the Lordvessel without him)
  You sorry fool… You could not be the Chosen one.
  Enough… I shall slumber, until I am awakened again…
