Lore
Oceiros went mad trying to harness his royal blood for a greater purpose, leading him to the heretics of the Grand Archives, where he discovered the twisted worship of Seath the paledrake.
— Description of the Soul of Consumed Oceiros
Seath's research seemed to strike a chord with old Big Hat who, in his mad, disrobed state, made divine works such as this, his own. Oceiros was no doubt edified by this.
— Description of White Dragon Breath
Oceiros, the Consumed King, was infatuated with the search for moonlight, but in the end, it never revealed itself to him.
— Description of Moonlight Greatsword

Item Drops
Moveset
- Staff Attacks: Swipes staff twice.
- Jumping Slam: Jumps and slams down.
- Pestilent Mist: Casts Pestilent Mist, creating a cloud that drains HP.
Phase Transition: <70% HP, stares at "Ocelotte" before crushing him into the ground. Begins to fight much more like a beast, no longer utilizing his staff.
- Flying Crystals: Flies into the air and breathes crystals down, and finished by a Charge.
- Charge: Charges across the arena, dealing damage with his entire body.
- May combo various attacks or even basic animations (such as turning around or roaring) into this attack.
Strategies
Phase 1
Stick close to his belly and attack him between his staff swings. When he casts Pestilent Mist, create distance.
Phase 2
Due to the constant threat of the charge attack, after many animations it is encouraged to preemptively roll in time with potential charges. As an alternative to memorizing the charges, one may simply use Shields to block it, nullifying the risk.
When Oceiros charges into walls, there's a risk of him sliding across into the player to be wary of.
Notes
- In Phase 2, dealing 8.78% of their maximum HP in damage to their head will open them up for a Critical attack.
- Damage from Phase 1 will carry over, but he may only stagger for a Critical in Phase 2.
Trivia
- Wailings can be heard before entering the fog gate.
- Sound files in the game's data contain the sounds of a baby crying and being murdered viciously. This is believed to be Ocelotte, and Oceiros is believed to have originally carried Ocelotte in his arms during the fight. When the player would transition him to his second phase, he would crush Ocelotte out of accidental rage, then go raving mad with despair due to his actions.
- They can be listened to here, but be warned that they are extremely graphic and NSFW.
Bugs
- Consumed King's Knights may rarely manage their way into the boss room.
- There is a cluster of roots near the opposite end of the room. You can get the boss stuck on one side of the roots, allowing one to damage him with ranged attacks from the other side through the opening among the roots. Just lure him to the end of the room, then quickly get to the other side of the roots.
- Oceiros has no death animation programmed in for dying to a Critical attack, and will instantaneously disappear.
