Darkstalker Kaathe

Description


Like Kingseeker Frampt, Kaathe is a primordial serpent, but his intentions are very different from those of Frampt. He is the leader of the Darkwraiths and wants to see the Furtive Pygmy's plan come to fruition by recruiting undeads with the Darksign so that they can become the new Dark Lord, heralding the Age of Dark. It is implied that he is the one who manipulated the people of Oolacile to awaken Manus, and offered the art of lifedrain to the Kings of New Londo, making him indirectly responsible for both Oolacile's and New Londo's destruction.

Location


The Abyss

Kaathe can be found near The Abyss bonfire after you have defeated The Four Kings, provided that you haven't yet placed the Lordvessel on the Firelink Altar. He also appears if you have not yet retrieved the Lordvessel.

Use


Notes


Note: Kaathe will not provide this service.

Getting Kaathe's services without upsetting Frampt


  1. Beat The Four Kings.
  2. Rest at The Abyss bonfire.
  3. Talk to Kaathe until he transports you to the Firelink Altar.
  4. Do not place the Lordvessel in the altar. Instead, warp back to The Abyss bonfire by using Homeward or Homeward Bone.
  5. Talk to Kaathe, he'll offer you "the art of Lifedrain" (i.e., Darkwraith covenant).

Now you can upgrade the covenant level and buy Cracked Red Eye Orbs from him. After you're done, you can talk to Frampt and put the Lordvessel for Frampt. However, Kaathe will be upset and will leave for the rest of the playthrough.

Note: You can also get Kaathe's services prior to having the Lordvessel.
