Dark Souls Location series: the Great Hollow
“An art of the transcendent apostles who pray to the ancient dragons. To be alive is to be vulnerable, and the fiery Gods are no exception. The apostles seek another plane of existence, which transcends life.”
Dark Souls Location series:Tomb of the Giants
“Gravelord Nito administers the death of all manner of beings. The power of his soul is so great that it satiates the Lordvessel, despite the fact that much of its energy has already been offered to death.”
Dark Souls location series:Valley of the Drakes
“A dragon is inseparable from its scales,
and the transcendent apostles, who seek
the perpetuity of the ancient dragons,
have crossed the very end of the earth
to seek this invaluable treasure.”
Dark Souls location series:Darkroot Garden/Basin
“Well indeed, thou art a strange one! Nevertheless, I feel some liking for thee.
I’m Alvina of the Darkroot Wood.
I command a clan of hunters who track down defilers of the forest graves.
What dost thou say? Wilt thou not join us?
Oh yes, I believe we would suit thee well.”
Dark Souls location series:Crystal Cave
“Ah, the secret of Seath’s immortality?
If you have fought him, and were imprisoned, you must know that Seath is a true Undead, different from ourselves.
His wounds close promptly, and no mortal blow affects him, granting true insulation from death.
It is an effect of the Primordial Crystal, a sacred treasure pillaged by Seath when he turned upon the ancient dragons.
So, only by destroying the Primordial Crystal can you so much as scratch his hide.
And it so happens, the Primordial Crystal is in the inner garden of these very archives, the Crystal Forest.”
Dark Souls location series:Duke’s Archives
“Have you heard of Seath the Scaleless?
In legend, he turned against the ancient dragons.
He became Lord Gwyn’s confidant, was granted dukedom, and was allowed to pursue his research.
At the Regal Archives, he immersed himself in research on scales of immortality, the one thing that he did not have.
… But his very research drove him mad…”

“Thou must returneth whence thou came.
This land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind, but thou dost not belong.
I beg of thee, plunge down from the plank, and hurry home.”
Dark Souls location series:Anor Londo (DS1)
“Well, you are a rare visitor.
Welcome to the lost city of Anor Londo, chosen Undead.
If you seek Lord Gwyn’s old keep,
exit here and head straight yonder.
If you are the chosen one, a revelation shall visit thee.
… What follow thereafter, depends upon you…”
Dark Souls location series:Sen’s Fortress
“Where do I get all my things?
Stripped off the corpses of fools like yourself.
It isn’t easy. I have to catch them just before they go Hollow.
Don’t worry. I’ll be there to claim your trinkets. Gazing at your final twisted grimace!”
Dark souls location series:Blighttown&Quelaag’s Domain
“Excuse me. I was so absorbed in thought, I just drifted away.
You see, I’m actually in a bit of a fix.
I’ve made it this far, but I’m short on antidote moss for the trip back.
…
By my knighthood, I am ashamed to ask…
But can you spare a few scraps of moss?”
Dark Souls locations series:Northern Undead Asylum
“…Oh, you… You’re no Hollow, eh? Thank goodness… I’m done for, I’m afraid… I’ll die soon, then lose my sanity… I wish to ask something of you… You and I, we’re both Undead… Hear me out, will you?”
