Notes

  • If the player talks to Knight Lautrec of Carim he will offer a tip / information to the player for souls based upon soul level. He tells the player about how the lady and two companions went down to The Catacombs and got attacked, while Petrus escaped and left the others behind. If the player talks to Petrus after this, he will tell his side of the story and about how the lady is left alone and her companions have been turned to hollow. (A hint to the player to explore The Catacombs next)
  • Speaking to Oswald of Carim after Rhea has left firelink shrine and using the talk action on him will give you another hint that he isn't the good little cleric that he may seem to be, as Oswald claims that you and he would get along as he too is "drenched in sin".
  • Unfortunately killing him will make you sin.
  • Killing Petrus prior to Rhea of Thorolund's arrival to Firelink Shrine will cause her and her bodyguards, Vince and Nico of Thorolund, to attack you on sight.
  • (Bug) Killing Petrus after saving Rhea may make her disappear from your playthrough entirely.
  • You don't have to join Way of White to access Petrus' miracles. Once Rhea arrives he will let you look at them without joining the covenant. Also, if you do join the covenant but then leave you will still have access to his miracles.
  • Equipped with a unique version of the Elite Cleric Set which contains no item names or descriptions and cannot be equipped on female characters.
  • This NPC has unused dialogue lines.

Strategy

  • One thrust attack from a strong fire weapon agitates Petrus immediately, so his agitation may have an HP-based threshold.
  • He uses a Morning Star, which will cause bleeding.
  • Backstabbing him is not difficult, and he has a low resistance to magic. Three hits from Great Soul Arrow finished him off.
  • He will also heal himself, but it is a slow miracle.

Video: Petrus of Thorolund's Dialogues

Before Rhea arrives at Firelink Shrine
  • Speaking to him for the first time
    1. Hello there. I believe we are not acquainted?
      I am Petrus of Thorolund. Have you business with us?
      …If not, I'd prefer to keep a distance, if possible.
    2. Hello there.
      I realize that I have requested that we retain our distance,
      But I also want you to know that it is not meant in ill-will.
      Here, take this. As a token of peace.
      No, go ahead. It's for you.
    3. Oh, my… you again?
      Oh, I know. How about this…
      I have to await my companions here anyway,
      so, what if I were to teach you some miracles?
      Would that please you?
      • Answer "yes"
        Very well. Then first, a Covenant with the Gods.
        • Answer "yes"
          Now, let me share my Miracles.
          Only, their ultimate effectiveness will be determined by your efforts, and your faith.
        • Answer "no"
          (same response as answering "no" below)
      • Answer "no"
        That is a shame. But each to their own.
        Speak to me if you have a change of heart.
  • Greeting if you answer "no" to any of his questions
    Oh, hello. What is it? Have you changed your mind?
  • Using Talk option
    1. My companions are M'lady and her young knights.
      She is young, but burdened by an Undead mission.
      We are her defenses, to keep her from harm.
    2. An Undead mission?
      Regrettably, I cannot share that with you.
      But you are my pupil, perhaps if you show your faith…
      • Answer "yes"
        Very well. I can surely tell you, of all people…
        Undead clerics are given a mission to seek Kindling.
        Kindling is the art of feeding bonfires with humanity.
        Through Kindling, we shall one day be granted magnificent powers.
      • Answer "no" (or "yes" but can't afford to pay)
        I am afraid that may be difficult. For our missions are sacred.
  • Greeting if you're in Way of the White covenant
    • Oh, hello.
      I will teach you Miracles. A promise is a promise, after all.
    • Oh, hello.
      Miracles, I presume? Yes, I know.
  • When leaving
    Come again.
    The effectiveness of the teachings depend upon your faith.
  • When attacked without made hostile
    • Hrg!
    • Ooh!
    • Mrgm!
    • Ooph!
  • When attacked and made hostile
    By the Lords! You damn fool!
    Enough of you! Feel the wrath of the gods!
  • When killed
    N…no…this can't be…
    It can't end like this…
When Rhea is at Firelink Shrine
  • Greeting
    Oh, hello.
    My guests have finally arrived.
    I will be departing with them shortly.
    So, I'm afraid I will be saying good-bye soon.
    It was a pleasure.
  • Using Talk option
    Reah is the youngest daughter of the good house of Thorolund.
    Those young knights are her old schoolmates,
    But I'm not sure what to make of them…
    I'm afraid they may be a bad influence…
After his return to Firelink Shrine
  • Speaking to him
    1. Uh, oh, you again?
      Me? Er, I've become separated from M'lady.
      I've scoured near and far, but no sight of her…
      Where could she have gone?
      M'lady…To think I swore to protect you with my life…
    2. Your Highness…where have you gone?
      I am entirely to blame for this…
      Oh woe is me. I am unworthy, deathly so…
  • Greeting
    Oh, I'm sorry. Miracles, was it?
    …Sometimes I lose myself; pay me no mind!
  • After rescuing Reah
    …Ah, oh, you. Have you seen M'lady?
    Oh, blast, where might she be, and would she be safe…
  • After you found a Pendant in front of the Undead Parish altar without buying a tip from Lautrec
    Are, are you sure?! Then M'lady…
    What terrifying news! What am I to do…
    All because of my shortcomings… it is my fault…
    Sob…
  • Greeting after Reah is dead
    Oh, I'm sorry. Miracles, was it?
    …I'm distracted by grief; pay me no mind!
  • After speaking with Lautrec and buying the tip
    1. Oh, hello there.
      Have you spoken with Sir Lautrec?
      Splendid. In the depths of the Catacombs, M'lady slipped off the giant's coffin and into a hole.
      Her two companions are no longer human; and the lass weeps in solitude.
      Right now, you could do as you please with her. The poor little purebred is entirely helpless.
      Keh heh heh heh…
    2. In the depths of the Catacombs, M'lady slipped off the giant's coffin and into a hole.
      Her two companions are no longer human; and the lady weeps in solitude.
      Keh heh heh heh…
  • After buying the tip from Lautrec and saving Reah
    …Oh, it's you…
    …You rescued M'lady?
    Well, a pity that is, for it will amount to nothing.
    For the little madam is not worth her salt without her family name.
    Keh heh heh heh…
  • When attacked without made hostile after his confession
    • Hrgkt!
    • Ooph!
    • Mnph!
    • Argh!
  • When attacked and made hostile after his confession
    What is it, fool? Driven to madness by emotion?
    So be it. You'll make a fine Hollow!
    You can waltz in the infernal depths together!
  • When killed after his confession
    Rrk! Why…how could I…
    What the…what did I do wrong…
  • When he kills you after his confession
    Too bad for you, I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing. Best of luck as a Hollow!
    Gah hah hah hah hah!
  • Unknown
    Fool…What were you thinking?
