Lord's Blade Ciaran

Description

One of Gwyn's Four Knights and the group's only female member, Ciaran lays waste to Gwyn's enemies through assassination and subterfuge. She makes her appearance in Oolacile in the additional content.

Given her dialogue and since the Hornet Ring is found behind Artorias's grave on a female corpse, she may have been very close to the fallen knight and possibly had romantic feelings for him.

Location

Royal Wood
She prays in the arena where you defeated Knight Artorias. She appears only if you have Soul of Artorias in your inventory when you reload the area; otherwise, only Artorias's gravestone is there.

Use

• Gifts you Gold Tracer and Dark Silver Tracer in exchange for the Soul of Artorias. Note that she drops these weapons if you kill her, so only trade the Soul of Artorias if you do not plan to kill her.

Equipment

• Dark Silver Tracer
• Gold Tracer
• Lloyd's Talisman
• Lord's Blade Ciaran's Set
• Hornet Ring

Drops

Notes

• She does not ask for the soul if it is not in your inventory.
• Speaking to her and refusing to give her Soul of Artorias will cause her to disappear and never return for the rest of the playthrough. If you plan to kill her, do it immediately after talking to her.
• She can backstab you.
• She may throw Lloyd's Talisman at you.
• The name Ciaran is Gaelic for "small black one". Yet, "Ciaran" is the masculine version of the name (fem. "Ciara").
• What appears to be her hair is actually part of her helm.

• First time speaking to her without Soul of Artorias in inventory
  …Are you human?
  …I forgive you.
  I am here to pay respects to a dear friend.
  Please, allow me a moment alone.

• First time speaking to her with Soul of Artorias in inventory
  …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?
  • Answer "yes"
    Thank you. You are very kind.
    Please take this. I no longer need it.
    May the Lord guide thee.
  • Answer "no"
    Yes, of course…
    …
    …I must not be presumptuous.
    Artorias would not have approved.

• Speaking to her after saying "no" to her first question
  What is it, something else?
  Have you changed your mind?
  • Answer "yes"
    [Same as answering "yes" above]
  • Answer "no"
    …Then you have no business with me…

• When attacked without made hostile
  • Hrk!
  • Erg!
  • Ooh!
  • Hrk!

• When attacked and made hostile
  Hmph, you humans…
  …always taking what you please. Then, I shall do the same.

• When killed
  But, how…
  You humans…
  My dear Ar…tor…

• When she kills the player
  Hmph, such conceit…
  How did you imagine that the Lord's Blade would not reach you?
