"Dark Souls 1" - Anor Londo Trivia Quiz

Answer: Magic

Sorcery builds therefore have a small advantage in fighting them. Unfortunately, their shields will fully absorb any and all forms of damage, including Magic, so the main challenge here would be attempting to cast spells which will target them when their shields aren't in front of their body.

Answer: This is never revealed

She is referred to by the game as "Dark Moon Knightess" and in dialogue occasionally as a Firekeeper, but her name is never revealed. Nevertheless, the Dark Moon Knightess is an important Anor Londo NPC, and if she is slain, the first bonfire will be permanently disabled.

Answer: Executioner Smough

There is a lot of vague, frankly confusing lore surrounding Anor Londo. The one thing that is certain, however, is that Executioner Smough resides within the Anor Londo cathedral, and was tasked by someone of importance with guarding it. That "someone of importance" could either be Gwyndolin, Gwyneviere, or Gwyn himself, and this is never made entirely clear by the game's lore.

Answer: "Sealed by the Great Lord's power"

The "Great Lord" is Gwyn and, considering Anor Londo was his city before he linked the first flame, it makes sense that he would have some degree of influence still. The player will need to acquire the Lordvessel in order to enter the Duke's Archives.

Answer: Bell Gargoyle

This time, it is only one, and not two of them. Predictably, it will not respawn when slain. When slain, it will drop its headpiece and, if the player did not collect it during the formal boss fight, it will also drop the Gargoyle's Tail Axe.

Answer: Silver Knights

Two Silver Knights may not seem like the end of the world, but these two in tandem have undoubtedly claimed more player kills than every other Silver Knight in the game put together, maybe even multiplied. The main reason for this is that, unless they have a greatbow of their own, the player cannot fight back as they use very slim scaffolding and climb their way up to a wall with zero maneuverability whatsoever.

This, of course, means getting shot by a powerful greatbow will just about always lead to falling to the player's death.

Answer: Peculiar Doll

The Peculiar Doll can be found by returning to the Undead Asylum. It cannot be picked up during the player's first encounter with the area. They will need to kill a Black Knight in order to acquire the Peculiar Doll.

Answer: No

Though the Chandelier is very close to the rafters, such that the player wouldn't even take any fall damage dropping down on top of it, it will give way and collapse if the player lands on it. This will indeed lead to a lethal fall. In order to properly collect these items, the player must attack the chandelier, causing it to fall.

Then, using the elevator to get to the Painted World of Ariamis will cause them to cross paths with this destroyed chandelier, enabling them to safely grab the Crystal Magic Weapon spell and five Humanities.

Answer: Black Iron Tarkus

Tarkus' corpse is found just to the left of the painting depicting Ariamis. His entire armor set and shield can be looted off of it. It is never known how exactly Tarkus was killed. Considering that he was a summon for Iron Golem, the boss preceding this area, it is probable he had his own ambitions for Anor Londo just like the player.

His close proximity to the painting of Ariamis suggests this could've had something to do with it.

Answer: Lost Izalith

If Solaire moves to Lost Izalith, he will become corrupted by a Sunlight Maggot, he will go hollow and the player will need to kill him during their next encounter. By not speaking to Solaire, he will remain in Anor Londo until the player can properly deal with these Sunlight Maggots, thus enabling safe travels for Solaire.

Answer: Go in and kill Silver Knights

There are four Silver Knights inside the room Siegmeyer is having difficulty with. Fortunately, they can all be aggroed and fought separately from one another. When they've all been slain, speaking to Siegmeyer will progress his quest.

Answer: Entering the fog door

Curiously, despite being a Firekeeper and clearly having a close relationship to Dark Sun Gwyndolin, the Darkmoon Knightess can be freely killed and it won't impact the player's status within the Blades of the Darkmoon covenant. It will still deactivate the first bonfire in Anor Londo, however.

When the player gets close to the fog door, they will be stopped as Gwyndolin will call out and order them to kneel where they stand. The player can oblige and, from here, interact with the covenant. If they pass through the fog door anyway, this will begin the boss fight with Dark Sun Gwyndolin. Whether the player defeats him or not, they'll end up permanently kicked out of the covenant all the same.

Answer: No

Gwyndolin's health pool is tiny. Because of this, the player typically won't actually reach the end of this hallway until he is defeated and the hallway is made much shorter. Still, if the player wanted to for whatever reason, this hallway does have an ending to it, so Gwyndolin can eventually be cornered. Once cornered, he will simply teleport behind the player instead of making distance in front of them.

Answer: Magic

As with most Darkmoon items or spells, this is a magic weapon scaling off of Faith. The stat requirements for this bow are slim, needing just 16 in Dexterity and Faith, but it still does predominantly scale off of Faith.

Answer: Giant Blacksmith

Having no formal name, the Giant Blacksmith can always be found, merrily hammering away at whatever weapon the player brings to him.

Answer: Solaire of Astora

Simply summoning Solaire makes this fight significantly easier, as this removes the numbers advantage from the iconic Anor Londo pair instantly. As always, Solaire will wield his Sunlight Straight Sword and Shield when summoned.

Answer: Whichever of the two is killed last

When one of them is killed, the other will absorb their fallen ally's power and grow massively in size, gain a new moveset and get fully healed. Affectionately referred to as "Super" Ornstein or Super Smough, killing the "Super" version will prompt that boss to drop their own soul on defeat.

Answer: Leo Ring

The Leo Ring applies a 25% bonus to counter damage inflicted by Thrusting weapons. Unsurprisingly, the Dragonslayer Spear counts as such a weapon, giving the player an immediate use for the ring.

It is very likely that the specific names used for the ring and Ornstein himself were meant to reference the late 16th century musician Leo Ornstein.

Answer: 58

Despite such a huge requirement, the base damage on this weapon is noticeably lower than most other colossal weapons, and with just a D for Strength scaling, it will frequently come up short compared to alternatives such as the Dragon King Greataxe, Black Knight Greatsword or the Grant.

It has the advantage of self-healing for 8% of damage dealt on a square hit, up to a max of 8% the player's maximum health. It does deal enough damage to actually make this healing situationally appreciable.

Answer: She is an illusion

This ruse can be uncovered by simply using any damaging attack or item on Gwyneviere. She has one hitpoint, and will be immediately "killed" by anything the player does to damage her. Doing this will kick the player out of the Darkmoon covenant permanently, but it will also cause the sun to instantly set, making Anor Londo out to be very, very dark.
