Dark Souls III

Aldrich, Devourer of Gods

Saint of the Deep

Aldrich had an insatiable hunger and revelled in the screams of his victims. An abomination of the Abyss if there ever was one, his hunger was only satiated by the body of a god. This abhorrent monster must be brought to heel and soon. In the ashes of Anor Londo rises a flame of rebuke to destroy the so called "saint" once and for all.....

Aldrich is a mad and twisting boss that keeps you on your toes constantly. His spells are numerous, his attacks devastating and he can steal a portion of your life with life hunter scythe. This is not a time to be weary, any opening that can be afforded by this Lord of Cinder should be taken.

The contrast between the two battles of Yhorm and Aldrich is massive (pun definitely intended) seeing as one felt more honourable while the other felt more like stopping a monster. Aldrich is a depraved specimen of a Lord of Cinder and was practically forced into it, perhaps thats why he ended up the way he did.

Side Note: It's hard to tell wether or not Siegward perished after the battle with Yhorm. He leaves behind his armour and a second Storm Ruler. Wether this is because he fulfilled his promise to Yhorm or because he died is left entirely up to speculation. I chose to believe the latter. Regardless I honoured the Knight of Catarina by equipping his armour, which actually works well against Aldrich, to symbolise our friendship. Praise the Onion Bro!!!

Lord of Cinder Slain. One more remains.
