"Dark Souls 2" - Undead Crypt Trivia Quiz

Answer: Aldia

When lighting the bonfire, instead of it simply being lit as per usual, the bonfire will explode and Aldia will emerge. If this is your first playthrough, there is a one hundred percent chance you will be thoroughly jump scared by this. After Aldia has finished interacting with the player and leaves, the bonfire can be used as it normally would be.

Answer: Devotee Scarlett

Scarlett is back, and ready to carry the player once again. Just like in Earthen Peak, if her AI allowed it, she could unquestionably lay waste to everything in the Undead Crypt, apart from the boss this time, with no input from the player needed. Given that this is a late game area and can be quite brutal for newcomers, it is highly recommended to summon Scarlett for newcomers, or even just in general if you simply want a helpful hand.

Answer: Light

If the player enters the area with a lit torch, Agadayne will instead instruct them to put it out rather than simply telling them not to produce light. Irritatingly enough, there is a hollow wielding a torch in the room just before this one, and if that hollow escapes and enter this room, Agadayne will become upset with the player over it and will attack the player. If neither the player or this hollow carry a torch as Agadayne demands, he will become a merchant for them.

Answer: Many enemies will spawn

A total of eleven Insolent Knights will spawn all across the area. They do have drop rates for some very useful items, Twinkling Titanite, Petrified Dragon Bone, Spices, Bonfire Ascetics and their own armor and weapons. They are difficult assailants however, so the player should take extreme caution before lighting these sconces, as they cannot be un-lit.

Answer: Enemies spawn

Ringing these bells will cause a Darkwraith to spawn. These are very nasty enemies which do a lot of damage. The main challenge is to maneuver through the Undead Crypt, slaying enemies while being very careful not to accidentally strike these bells with a weapon, or to allow enemies to do the same.

Answer: Avelynn

The Avelynn is unique for firing three bolts at a time. It deals by far the highest DPS in its class, though it is also a bit more cumbersome due to its slightly lengthier reload speed. It requires a 25 in Strength and 15 Dexterity to wield.

Answer: Greatshield

One half of the shield goes in one hand, the other half for the other. Contending with these knights can be challenging, as they can simultaneously attack and defend themselves. The player will need to get their hits in during the time the knight is raising its shield to slam it down, as this is the only point where the shield isn't protecting them somehow. Spellcasters have an upper hand, as they can safely shoot the knights during these vulnerable moments, but melee characters may have a tough time. Thankfully, the Avelynn found just down the hall from this encounter could work perfectly for this if the player has ammunition for it on hand.

Answer: To conquer it

The Imperious Knights had a master whose name is not revealed. That master believed the Undead Crypt harbored evil entities that threatened the integrity of Drangleic, and hired these knights to go conquer it. The knights failed in their mission, but because Agadayne knew they were doing the right thing in their own minds and weren't simply trying to oppress and destroy for no reason, he opted to let the knights live under the condition that they'd enter temporary servitude to the crypt itself.

Answer: Licia of Linheldt

As it happens, Licia is a con artist disguised as a friendly, god fearing cleric. As the player invades her, she will curse them out but then express joy that she can now kill the player "guilt free".

Answer: Dragonrider

This Dragonrider stands next to two Syan Knights and an Aldia Warlock, though these enemies can be fought separately from one another if the player takes care to shoot them from a distance and fight them away from the group. The Dragonrider will not respawn, and drops Twinkling Titanite on defeat.

Answer: Grave Warden Agadayne

Unfortunately, Agadayne is actually a terrible choice for a summon. The simple reason for this is that the boss has a massive resistance to Dark, and this is the only element apart from Physical that Agadayne brings. He does very little damage, and isn't particularly tanky. Devotee Scarlett would be a way, way better choice for players needing a hand.

Answer: He is the king's right-hand man

Right beyond Velstadt's boss room is a small room where the king himself mindlessly meanders, having long gone hollow. Velstadt swore an oath to defend the king eternally, and with the king's mind having been lost to hollowing, Velstadt appears to be on his way to a similar fate, as he predominantly wields Dark magic and his body moderately emanates with darkness.

Answer: King's Ring

The King's Ring is one of the most important items in the game period, as the player will need it in order to progress beyond this point, as well as to simply finish the game.

Answer: King Vendrick

Vendrick is initially found as a mindless hollow, simply bumbling about his boss room without a care in the world. He will not be hostile towards the player immediately, and won't become hostile until the player depletes 5% of his maximum health. If the player does this but is then defeated by Vendrick or leaves the boss room in any way, he will now immediately be hostile upon the player returning.

Answer: Soul of a Giant

With zero Souls of a Giant, Vendrick will receive a whopping 32x boost to his defenses, making him impossible to meaningfully damage even with the mightiest of weapons or spells. This defense boost is halved for each Soul of a Giant in the player's inventory, and is negated entirely if they acquire five. Vendrick has the second highest healthpool out of the entire game, so adding defense, and in this extreme of a measure, on top of that makes trying to tackle him without at least a few Souls of a Giant impractical.

While possible, it would take less time to go out and get these items than it would to simply go to his boss room and defeat him without them.

Answer: Intelligence and Faith

This weapon deals split Dark damage, and Dark scales off of Intelligence and Faith. With a 40 in Strength to go with 17s in Dexterity, Faith and Intelligence needed, this weapon requires the player to specifically build their character for it. However, the trade off is worth it, as this weapon delivers extremely hard hits and has solid durability to boot. Surprisingly, it can even be buffed by consumables or spells, giving it truly destructive potential.

Answer: Three

Three spell slots is just ridiculous and makes it difficult to justify using this spell. It's effects sure are powerful, as it provides a nice boost to physical damage output and defense for 45 seconds when cast. However, for as strong as this is, it's not worth three whole spell slots, especially since the spell itself can only be cast three times.

It's only worth it for Faith builds that are not using Miracles to any serious extent.

Answer: Nothing

This is quite literally just a basic medium shield, only it has a Drangleic logo on it which is how someone would actually be able to tell it has something to do with Vendrick at all. It's a very odd, boring choice for such a hard to obtain soul that can uniquely only be acquired once per playthrough. To be fair, for a medium shield, it's absorptions are actually fantastic, being on par with the Defender Shield.

Answer: Nashandra

As Nashandra is Vendrick's wife, the connection is quite clear. If you've ever wanted to smite your foes so bad that you wanted to beat their faces in with a statue of someone, you've come to the right place. Even funnier when used to actually kill Nashandra herself.

Answer: The player's Souls

The Ruler's Sword experiences a steep penalty in damage output if the player has less than 300,000 souls on their person. Once this is reached, the sword starts to gain a lot of power up until it reaches its cap at one million. It is the only weapon in franchise history to work like this.
