Knight Lautrec of Carim

“

Well, look at you. I thought you were wiser, but I thought wrong! Tis a terrible pity. Like a moth flittering towards a flame.

Summary

Knight Lautrec of Carim is a knight from Carim and a devout follower of the goddess Fina. Lautrec was locked in a cell located on the upper floor of the Undead Parish Church, and during his solitude he forsook everything, for he believed in the goddess's love for him. Lautrec's goals are shrouded in mystery, only mentioning that he is on a "mission", yet it is never elaborated upon. Eventually, either with or without assistance from the Chosen Undead, Lautrec finds his way to Firelink Shrine, and after the Chosen Undead rings the Bells of Awakening, Lautrec kills Anastacia of Astora, the Fire Keeper of Firelink Shrine. This leads the Chosen Undead to hunt him down, invade his world, and defeat him to win back the Fire Keeper's soul to restore Anastacia to life.

Range: Extended Melee range

Standard Equipment:

Shotel: Curved sword with sharply curved blade. Created by Arstor, Earl of Carim. Requires great skill to wield, but evades shield defense to sneak in damage. Lautrec wields a pair of these weapons. Parrying Dagger: This dagger is useful after parrying and is normally equipped in the left hand. A favorite of the knights of Carim, who are famous for fighting without a shield. Favor Set: Armor of Lautrec the Embraced, representing the goddess Fina's love. During his solitude, he forsook everything, for he believed in the goddess's love for him. The goddess's arms wrap around this armor, as if to embrace the wearer. Ring of Favor and Protection: A ring symbolizing the favor and protection of the goddess Fina, known in legend to possess "fateful beauty". This ring boosts its wearer's HP, stamina, and max equipment load, but breaks if ever removed. Red Tearstone Ring: The rare gem called tearstone has the uncanny ability to sense imminent death. This red tearstone from Carim boosts the attack of its wearer by 50% when in danger. Estus Flask: The Undead treasure these dull green flasks. Fill with Estus at bonfire. Fills HP. The Estus Flasks are linked to the Fire Keepers. The Dark Tales also make reference: An emerald flask, from the Keeper's soul. She lives to protect the flame, and dies to protect it further. White Sign Soapstone: Leave summon sign. Be summoned to another world as a phantom through your sign, and defeat the area boss to acquire humanity. In Lordran, the flow of time is distorted, and the White Sign Soapstone allows Undead to assist one another.
