![]() ![]() If Pontiff moves to mid-range, close the distance from the side and reposition behind his back.ĭuring the fight, it is advised to not extend one's attacks for more than two swings as you would need your stamina to dodge or absorb Pontiff's aggressive retaliation. He will turn around but his turn is slow enough that a player can reposition behind his back. Pontiff also overcommits to some attacks and can be combo-locked giving a player from behind the chance to deal free damage. With good timing, this attack can be parried, immediately giving you the upper hand.Īs most of his combos are mid or mid-long range, two-handed shield-less builds should roll behind him because the only attacks that hit behind his back are turning pirouette attacks (or jump and plunge attacks in the second phase) that are easier to dodge than his multi-hit combos. Once you enter through the fog gate, be cautious as you approach Pontiff as he will likely leap at you with his sword from a distance. Sulyvahn then offers Gwyndolin to Aldrich to be devoured. Sulyvahn, Archdeacon Royce, Archdeacon McDonnell, and Archdeacon Klimt were the main leaders of the Church, succeeding Aldrich.Īfter Aldrich rose from his coffin in the Cathedral of the Deep, he journeyed to the cathedral of Anor Londo with McDonnell, where Sulyvahn had imprisoned the god of the Darkmoon Dark Sun Gwyndolin and his sister Company Captain Yorshka after taking control of the city. Sulyvahn also became a devout follower of the Church of the Deep founded by Saint Aldrich. Notable members among the Outrider Knights were Vordt and The Dancer of the Boreal Valley (a distant daughter of the Irithyllian royal family), both of whom were tasked with conquering Lothric prior to the Undead Curse's resurgence and prior to the rekindling of the last true Age of Fire. Outrider knights were therefore seen as exiles unworthy of praise, as they were fated to be nothing more than dogs of war for the twisted sorcerer's campaign. To make sure the Outriders never betrayed or opposed the Pontiff, they were gifted magical rings that, unbeknownst to them, would eventually drive them mad with visions of endless combat and turn them into feral beasts. He eventually accomplished his goal through subterfuge against the Darkmoon Knights, and created his own Pontiff Knights to maintain control in Irithyll while his Outrider Knights were sent to conquer faraway lands. Taking the Profaned Greatsword along with his ambition, he set out to control Irithyll. The young frost sorcerer eventually encountered the Profaned Capital below a tundra, some distance from Irithyll, and found the Profaned Flame within it. As such, he had no meaningful connection to the Painted World, and subsequently went on an indefinite pilgrimage outside the painting to the wider world, forsaking the frost sorceries that Ariandel had pioneered, in favor of more esoteric magic. Despite being born and raised inside the painting, he had not yet experienced the loss or despair that most residents of the painting had prior to their arrival. From the unused dialogue in the Painted World, as well as the tree-like motifs visible on Sulyvahn himself, one can surmise that he is the son of the feral Tree Woman found in the painting. Though little is certain regarding Sulyvahn's true nature, The Ashes of Ariandel expansion reveals that Sulyvahn was born in the Painted World of Ariandel. Sulyvahn is located in the large cathedral at the end of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. When the Ashen One enters the church, Sulyvahn is standing still with his two swords, when the Ashen One approaches his swords begin to glow and he advances towards the player before quickly charging with an overhead slash.ĭuring the fight, Sulyvahn can be heard grunting and growling in a deep, distorted voice. Sulyvahn wields two greatswords: the Profaned Ultra Greatsword in his right hand and the Greatsword of Judgment in his left. Due to his origins (see below), it could be surmised that he was born this way. His skin is pale and seems to be decayed and covered in large cracks. Sulyvahn is a tall humanoid clothed in ceremonial robes adorned with jewelry. ![]()
