Forlorn

Description

Born of Aldia's Obsession with the First Sin, the Forlorn lost both their corporeal form and a world to call their own. Now they drift into other worlds, ever in search of a home. But without self, one has neither beginning nor end, and so the Forlorn have only to wander.¹

Strategies

Notes

• The Forlorn can invade wielding either the Scythe of the Forlorn or the Greatsword of the Forlorn. The ones with scythes can be more dangerous than those with greatswords.
• Each death of the Forlorn grants you one of their armor and weapons to be purchased from Straid of Olaphis. These kills carry over to New Game Plus and beyond.
• To unlock the Greatsword of the Forlorn or the Scythe of the Forlorn, you must kill a Forlorn wielding the weapon, after having killed five Forlorn already.
• Using Dried Fingers or Token of Spite may increase the chance that a Forlorn invades.
• Reloading the area can cause a Forlorn to invade.
• The Forlorn do not know how to attack creatures, so they are susceptible to Seed of a Tree of Giants.
