Lore
The Darkwraiths were the first red orb invaders, and originators of a unique sword technique inspired by their thick, broad blades.
— Description of the Dark Sword
… Darkwraiths, relics of a small country that fell to the dark long ago. Look as if they may crumble to dust at any moment.
The Darkwraiths were the oldest of the Red Eye Invaders, and rumored to have served a Primordial Serpent.
— Description of the Dark Set
Location
- Darkwraith on the lowest floor of the Tower on the Wall, down an elevator past a door that requires the Lift Chamber Key.
- Darkwraith guards a ruined tower containing the Sage's Coal, reached if you keep to the left side after the Farron Keep Bonfire.
- Two Darkwraiths just before the Abyss Watchers. They will charge and kill the Ghrus on the road to the Watchers' arena.
