Domhnall of Zena

Description


A very odd merchant and the only character from the ancient land of Zena that the player encounters. His armor set pieces symbolize wisdom, glory, a vanquisher, and an explorer, but nothing specific about Domhnall is known. The crystal items that he sells suggest he may have explored The Duke's Archives.

Location


  • Depths
    Just before the entrance to Blighttown.
  • Firelink Shrine
    The bottom of the aqueduct bridge, next to the corpse which contains a Ring of Sacrifice. He moves here only after you have rung both Bells of Awakening (after defeating the Bell Gargoyles and Chaos Witch Quelaag).

  • Initial meeting

Aye, siwmae. And good day to you.
I'm Domhnall of Zena. I'm just, well, a peddler, of sorts.
I adore trinkets and oddities, so I trade for them.

  • Greeting

Aye, siwmae. Never thought I'd see you here.
This feels karmaic.
Pray tell, what do you have for me?

Aye, siwmae. I didn't expect to meet anybody here. I suppose great minds think alike, eh?

Aye, siwmae. We meet again.
Found anything special for my good self?
Mmm, I certainly hope so!

  • Talk (without buying anything)

Hmm… I'm afraid I don't see anything here.
Hmm…Well, I'm certain we will make a good trade eventually…

  • Talk (after buying)

So, I am willing to share some tips.
If you seek Kindling in the Catacombs, use divine weapons.
That will repel the reassembling skeletons.

Hmm… Well, I'm certain we will make a good trade eventually…
So, I am willing to share some tips.
The cursed Ghosts of New Londo are formidable foes.
To face them, you will require special arms… Or a cursed body.
The quickest way to be cursed? Try the bug-eyed lizards in the sewer.
Desperate measures, to be sure…

  • Talk (after buying something). Only after he moves to Firelink Shrine

Hmm… You are a fine trading partner.
Rumour it may be, but I have heard of a surviving ancient dragon who resides in this land.
A coterie of Undead serves the dragon, as they train to become dragons themselves.
Sounds unlikely, but you never know, do you?

  • Leave (withouth buying anything)

Well, that is a shame, then.
But no matter. No, not to worry.
Come back again. I'm always available.
Not every trade was meant to be.
There'll be more in store for us, someday, sometime!

  • Leave (after buying)

Heh heh. Thank you.
That was a fine trade.
I have this funny feeling we'll meet again soon.
And we'll make another fine trade, of course!

  • When attacked without made hostile
    • Hold on, there!
    • What's this about?
    • Now, stop that!
    • Ouch!
    • Oww!
  • When attacked and made hostile

Hold on, there! What's this about?
Now, stop that! Ouch! Oww!
What problem do you have now?
I'm a man of peace, idiot! Enough of you, I say, farewell.

  • When killed

By the Lords…why… My precious collection…
