Dark Souls III
Lorian and Lothric Twin Princes




Lorian, Elder Prince. Lothric, Younger Prince.

Lorian, the Elder prince of Lothric was a powerful warrior. Mighty and to be feared he slew the "demon prince" after which his sword was permanently blackened. Lothric was cursed from a young age and his dutiful brother decided to share the burden of the curse, causing him to become crippled. Seeking to evade their collective duty as Lords of Cinder they fled, wishing to watch the fire fade from far away. However duty is as much a curse as any and we find the twin princes awaiting the Unkindled ready to carry out their duty......







Lorian and Lothric pose a problem for players. Alone Lorain isn't much to worry about (he says having lost to him 5 times) his swings can be anticipated and you can easily avoid his strikes. The only problem is that Lorian teleports everywhere, making locking on to him difficult. Lorain has some moves that can easily devastate an overconfident player and the one sword attack he has, where he creates a pillar of flame/light, is one of the most dangerous moves he has especially after he has teleported away. Lothric joins the fight once you have slain Lorian at this point I am reminded of the fight with Aldrich, casting near constant spells and having devastating attacks. 

Having said all of that when you get to the second portion of the fight it becomes far easier to deal with, attacking Lorain and Lothric from the side can easily end the fight almost as soon as Lothric appears. Summoning Sirris for this was the right call, or at least I think so, more than anything else I needed her for her quest line. Still with the twins defeated we can progress to the last boss.




Lord of Cinder Slain. The time to link the fire has come..................or has it?
