Lore

"Perhaps thou'st beheld the lone dragon that inhabiteth this city?
Midir is his name, and the Archdragons are his forebears.
He once railed against the dark, but was by dark afflicted. Now here, returned, he remaineth.
To watch over the sleeping Princess, true to the old accord.
…And yet, I would have thee put the dragon to rest.
Afore the dark consumeth him, and his vows are forgot."

— Shira, Knight of Filianore on Darkeater Midir

Midir, descendant of Archdragons, was raised by the gods, and owing to his immortality, was given a duty to eternally battle the dark, a duty that he would never forget, even after the gods perished.

Lightning and Pestilent Mist

coollion 02 Aug 2021 07:35

Midir's Lightning Absorption is his lowest for elements, but as is the history with FromSoftware's DLC dragon bosses, it is not quite a weakness. Keep in mind the lower Absorption for Physical damage when recommending advice to players.

Pestilent Mist is often recommended for this fight, but generally has a greater negative impact with its use compared to hitting the head and learning to fight normally. You may use it, but exclusively casting it is detrimental and poor advice.
