Присцилла – владычица Нарисованного мира Ариамиса и единственный босс в Dark Souls, с которым перед битвой можно поговорить. Эта наполовину женщина, наполовину дракон не хочет кровопролития, а потому при встрече просит героя покинуть ее земли мирно, не причинив никому вреда. Решив ударить босса, вы навсегда сделаете его враждебным по отношению к герою. Убийство Присциллы в мире игры считается грехом.

В руках у Присциллы – Коса отнятия жизни , провоцирующая у своей жертвы кровотечение. В связи с этим на бой лучше взять экипировку, которая может защитить от данного статус-эффекта – Кровавый щит , кольцо кровавого укуса и шитый золотом костюм . Сам босс в равной степени уязвим к огню и молниям, поэтому соответствующие смолы и заклинания (чудеса, пиромантии) будут особенно полезны в сражении.

Как уже было сказано, изначально Присцилла не хочет с вами драться, а потому первый удар по ней будет фактически «бесплатным». Советуем использовать его, чтобы без проблем отрубить боссу хвост. В противном случае сделать это будет значительно труднее, так как со стартом поединка полукровка станет невидимой и начнет передвигаться по арене, осложняя прицеливание.

Будучи скрытой от глаз игрока, Присцилла оставляет на снегу отпечатки своих ног, по которым можно следить за ее перемещением. Когда ступни сходятся вместе, будьте готовы к тому, что босс сейчас размахнется своей косой. В такие моменты нужно либо отходить подальше, либо заходить противнику за спину для атаки – ориентируйтесь опять-таки по отпечаткам.

Слишком агрессивным во время контрнаступления быть не стоит – во-первых, потому что Присцилла может применить вызывающее кровотечение ледяное дыхание (просто отбегите в сторону), а, во-вторых, сами вы рискуете получить в ответ косой по лицу. Если хотите быть постоянно в курсе, где находится Присцилла, просто выстрелите в нее из лука – застрявшая в теле противника стрела будет отличным индикатором.

В результате нескольких последовательных ударов (точное число зависит от вашего оружия) босс вновь предстанет перед взором героя. Добиться этого результата – отключения невидимости – можно также с помощью Большого лука драконоборца , пиромантии «Большой шар хаоса », уникальной атаки Большой секиры Короля Драконов и других средств.

Если сходу отрубить хвост не вышло, а Кинжал Присциллы получить всё же хочется, то используйте против босса слабое оружие, вроде обычной Сабли . В противном случае Присцилла умрет прежде, чем у вас появится второй шанс – здоровья у босса не так уж и много. Наиболее благоприятный момент для «обрезания» – анимация ледяного дыхания, в ходе которого Присцилла не двигается

Как убить Присциллу, не вступая с ней в бой

Альтернативный вариант убийства Присциллы предполагает использование навозных пирогов . Даже будучи не агрессивным по отношению к игроку, босс будет получать урон от токсина. При использовании такой тактики запаситесь терпением (на это уйдет порядка пяти минут) и снарядами – для отравления Присциллы понадобится восемь штук. К слову, по ядовитому облаку вокруг противника также можно следить за его передвижениями в режиме невидимости.

Crossbreed Priscilla is an optional Boss in Dark Souls Remastered.

Information

Half dragon boss found in Painted World of Ariamis . An optional boss, she wields a giant scythe and has the ability to turn invisible. If you do not wish to fight her, simply walk past her after talking to her, and proceed towards the open ledge to trigger a cutscene and your return to Anor Londo (speaking with her doesn"t make her aggressive).

Priscilla is the only dragon crossbreed in Lordran and most likely in the game world.

She is white as snow and has scales, though only on her brow and neck, hinting that her father is actually Seath the Scaleless. Her mother is unconfirmed but that won"t stop us as well as other fans from speculating:

• One theory is that her mother was the non-illusory goddess Gwynevere ; Ariamis" painting is also housed in her cathedral, and has been kept safe by dozens of painting guardians for generations.
• Another theory is that, due to the large number of items and miracles related to Goddess Velka that are located in the Painted World, the goddess could be Priscilla"s mother.
• The rotating statue that opens the way to Priscilla is also of a mother and child, but the mother does not resemble Gwynevere .
• Attacking Crossbreed Priscilla will be considered as a Sin . (NPC Hostility Sin)

Drops

• 30 000 souls (NG) or 60000 souls (NG+1)
• Priscilla"s Dagger , when her tail is cut off.

Attacks

Invisibility

Casts a blizzard attack in the beginning that turns her completely invisible.

Scythe swing

Priscilla swings her scythe, and sometimes a follow-up swing or two, which has decent range and can cause heavy bleeding.

Blizzard

Blows a blizzard type attack that has medium range, and is easily dodged by running to the side. Causes Bleed built up.

Strategy

Because this boss is not incredibly hard, or has a varying arsenal of moves and attacks, these strategies are more of how to deal with her when she"s invisible.

Priscilla summons a blizzard that turns her invisible if you attack her, therefore the main way to find her when she is invisible is to keep your shield up or keep moving and watch the snow for her footprints.

Do not spam attacks when you locate her, strike her once or twice and then roll away and block. This should minimize the number of times you are struck by her scythe, and particularly avoid receiving a dangerous bleed effect as a result of repeated hits from her scythe.

If you manage to cut her health enough to reveal herself, she"ll start using her blizzard attack. This is easily avoided by running to the side, or staying behind her. Keep your distance to avoid being hit by the scythe, or use Bloodshield or the Bloodbite Ring to reduce the bleed build-up from her attacks. If you manage to chop off her tail - which is what you should aim for - you get the special weapon Priscilla"s Dagger . Be sure to only aim for her tail first, to avoid mistiming it and killing her before you can obtain it.

Strategy 1 - The Hard Way

When she"s approaching, you will see her footprints get closer together, meaning that she is getting ready to swing her scythe. To counter this, roll directly at her and run to her right. Run behind where the footprints are facing, and she will miss you, which gives you a chance to get an attack in. To judge where the swing is coming from, watch for the footprints that form from her stepping forward during her attack. Rinse and repeat until you deal enough damage to force her to disable her cloaking.

Strategy 2 - Fire & Ice

An easy way to get her to come visible is to as soon as you go through the boss fog, aggro her then run to the plank that you leave on and stay at the end until you see a footprint. As soon as you see a footprint on the ground throw a Great Chaos Fire Orb straight ahead; because the plank is suspended over nothing and there is no room to evade, it will hit her, triggering her visibility. Once this happens, run past her into the open area, take off the tail, and proceed to ending her life.

Strategy 3 - Ghost Tracking

Equip Ring of Fog and Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring inside the boss area. Wait until Priscilla goes to the center (no footprints, shooting an arrow to the center of the room). Shooting her with man-made projectiles such as arrows, and throwing knives work extremely well, as they stick onto her for a short period of time, revealing her location.

A slightly more cumbersome method is to use attacks that leave a mark, which can be used to track her invisible form. Vow of Silence , Tranquil Walk of Peace , arrows, poisons etc will work.

Hints

• If you do enough poise damage to stagger her, she will come visible. Some ways of doing that:
  • Using a Greatbow , even if you don"t have the stats for it.
  • Using throwing knives; you can farm them from the Painting Guardian s.
  • Using the whip (no upgrades). Use the R1 attack (the sweeping one) twice.
  • Using Astora"s Straight Sword to attack her (+5 if possible). Hit her twice.
  • Using a pyromancy spell like Great Chaos Fireball. Just hurl it at her footprints once.
• These methods will do almost no damage but will still reveal her, making cutting off her tail an easy task.
• Don"t rush it. She doesn"t have much health.
• You can skip her and go back to Anor Londo by just going to the ledge past her; this only works if you did not attack her. While fighting her, that drop kills you.
• If you are using the Dragon King Greataxe two handed with a heavy attack, it will do a magic attack that will force her out of invisibility. After that, switch to whatever you"re most comfortable with and finish the job.

Hints for Easy Tail Cut

• Actually, you can easily cut her tail BEFORE the fight, while she is passive and you can still talk with her. Just get behind her and do the job.
• To make for an easier tail cut before the fight, try to maximize damage to take the tail in one hit. Two handing and buffing a weapon if possible, and using Power Within can work well. Weapons that sweep side to side (ex. Great Scythe) can be used effectively unlocked, adjusting the camera angle to point the sweep down toward the tail.
• When she turns invisible, since she has a relative low amount of HP, use a weak weapon (un-upgraded Scimitar works great but Broken Straight Sword doesn"t) until she returns.
• If she is getting low on health and has not yet dropped the dagger, then quit/reload to respawn in front of the boss-fog.
• Cutting off her tail will automatically award the dagger without needing to pick it up.
• Using a weapon that slashes vertically (the two-handed light attack with a longsword works well) is a huge help. Do not lock on her, and slash vertically aiming perpendicular to her body (i.e. if you don"t hit the tail you won"t accidentally hit her body.)
• After she reappears, it is generally easier to un-target her when she attacks, especially the breath attack, to quickly run to the exposed tail and land some swings on it.
• A sorcerer can equip Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring and Crown of Dusk to one shot her tail with Soul Spear . The key is NOT to select her. When having no target, magic spells fall downward. Positional yourself next to her tail, and let the spear fall down, onto her tail. Easy tail cut before the battle even begins.
• A player with Chaos Storm could potentially stun lock Priscilla for a few easy swings at her tail, as it stays nearly still at this moment when hit more then once of this spell, It"s also a great way of forcing her to become visible if she is hit more then ones. Beware though that this could get you killed if done at the wrong time or if you got low armor. It is advised to use a heavy armor when doing this, if possible

Trivia

• Priscilla was intended to serve as the role of female companion NPC according to Dark Souls Design Works interview, but it was lately scrapped.
• Also believed to be modeled after Rurufon from Shadow Tower Abyss , an early title of From Software.

Gallery

She stands in the tower at the edge of the ruins in the Painted World and watches over all who share the world with her. She is said to have acquired an unexplained power called Life-Hunt, an ability only she can wield, and she is said to be so powerful that the gods feared her, presumably the reason for her exile.

Priscilla is not hostile and she does not have to be defeated in order to leave the Painted World of Ariamis, but once aggroed, she will remain so and killing her is necessary to leave.

Notes

• If you choose to attack her during your first visit to the area, you will be unable to leave until she has been killed. Make sure you"re up to the task before attacking, or you will forever be stuck in the painting.
• Attacking and killing Priscilla is counted as a sin , but it can be absolved .
• If you keep her alive you will have an area that will always allow you to be invaded in.
• If you want to obtain all rare weapons , you"ll have to kill her, for her unique soul as well as for the dagger dropped when cutting her tail off. Only once is necessary.
  • It is possible to attack her and obtain her dagger without killing her. Warping into the Painted World once you"ve obtained the Lordvessel allows you to use Homeward or a Homeward Bone to exit the world provided you do not rest at the bonfire . Use the bone after cutting her tail.
  • Requesting absolution from Oswald will de-aggro her for subsequent visits as well.
• Very rarely, when you kill her with only one hit, the game will enter a softlock, where Crossbreed Priscilla will endlessly repeat her last lines of dialog "Ahh… But, why… What seeketh thee?" , preventing the cutscene that plays when you leave the Painted World from playing, making your game literally unbeatable if your last bonfire was the Painted World bonfire, as you can never leave the painted world again. PC players can use tools such as Cheat Engine to teleport themselves out, however.

Attacks

• Invisibility: Casts a blizzard attack in the beginning that turns her completely invisible. this can be solved by hitting her, while invisible, with a fireball pyromancy.
• Scythe swing: Swings her scythe and sometimes a follow-up swing or two, it has a decent range and causes heavy bleed buildup.
• Blizzard: Blows a blizzard type attack, medium range, and is easily dodged by running to the side.

Strategies

Priscilla is initially not aggressive which allows you to get the first hit in, make it count. If going for her tail you should aim to hit that. You can utilise Power Within and/or Red Tearstone Ring to maximise this initial damage. A strong enough weapon two-handed may even kill her outright.

Once aggressive she will go invisible but her footprints are visible in the snow, use these to determine her location to attack. She will break out of invisibility once staggered which is not too difficult to achieve.

High bleed resist is recommended as her scythe will deal tremendous damage if you take too many hits.

Dodging and Blocking

While she is invisible it is impossible to determine what attack, if any, she is performing, making it very difficult to dodge. Most Normal Shields and Large Shields should be sufficient for blocking however your objective here should be to go all-in and stagger her.

Once she is visible she can be blocked or dodged as normal.

Melee

A Spear , preferably lightning (such as that found in Sen"s Fortress) is perfect for this fight. The lightning makes it very easy to stagger her to break her stealth and you can keep your shield up to block any attacks. You may wish to stand in the middle and wait for her footprints to appear or you can run to the edge to keep all avenues of approach on your screen.

If you prefer a more direct approach, two-hand your weapon and the moment you see her footprints just roll up and hit her. You should stagger her after a few hits and will have an easier fight from that point. Some decent armour is recommended for this.

A third option is to block and face her footsteps (or stand with your back to the fog gate), wait for her to bounce off your shield and then retaliate. Depending on the range of your weapon you may need to step forward a bit.

A weapon such as the Caestus that deals light and fast attacks may not stagger her but allow you to kill her without her breaking invisibility.

Ranged

If you have any variation of Firestorm or Wrath of the Gods you can simply cast this once she turns invisible. She will be staggered and will turn visible for you to fight as per normal. Other spells such as Force may also work but you will need to wait for her footseps first.

If not you are best off using a melee weapon to stagger her, see previous section. Once she is visible it is a simple matter of backstepping from her attacks and hitting her with your strongest projectiles.

It is worth noting if you can hit her with a bow, the arrow will remain visible and telegraph exactly where she is. Apart from aiming above her footprints, you can also hold a shield up with the fog gate to your back and when she attacks, run to the other side of the arena and fire an arrow back at the fog gate. A few arrows can even stagger her, depending on the strength of the bow.

Dung Pies

You can apply Toxic to her with dung pies without making her hostile. You can then watch her die in peace.

Tail Cut

To cut off a tail it"s necessary to deal a certain amount of damage against it. The HP of the tail increases with higher NG cycles and is based on the HP of the respective enemy.

In case of Priscilla, the tail has about 17.17% of her HP.

The targetable area of her tail is rather small so can be difficult to target. You have two main windows to cut it;

• The first is while she is passive, this allows you to prepare as much as you like and get a perfect hit in with your strongest attack. Using damage boosts such as Power Within and perhaps Red Tearstone Ring will improve your chances of cutting it in a single hit.
• The second is while she is using her ice breath, block or dodge her scythe attacks until she uses it then run around behind her. Her tail should remain still for the duration of this attack.
• Additionally if using any version of Firestorm this has a chance of cutting her tail while she is invisible, particularly if you did a lot of damage to it before she went invisible.

One hit using Pyromancy - With +5

Холодный ветер пронизывал сквозь доспех, карканье воронов, усевшихся на насаженных на колья несчастных эхом разносилось по округе. Но человек – или, по крайней мере, когда-то бывший человеком – избранный мертвец, облачённый в комплект доспехов Элитного Рыцаря, шел вперёд, не думая останавливаться.
- Иди сюда! – нагло крикнул он бегущему на него опустошенному давным-давно рыцарю Береника, делающему размашистый удар. – Я снова подарю тебе смерть!
Противник не попал по цели и вскоре пал от скорых ударов оружия со странным именем Утигатана, вырванной из скрюченных, иссушенных пальцев безумного, опустошающего торговца в Городе Нежити, пал очередной смертью. Хмыкнув про себя, Избранный Мертвец шагнул за густой туман, чтобы узреть то, ради чего, фактически, он сюда и явился...
Высокая, странная светлокожая и светловолосая, желтоглазая дева в белом одеянии. Избранный мёртвый, скорее всего, уронил бы челюсть, не будь на нём шлема, даже не глядя толком на огромную косу в её руках.
- Кто ты? – спросила она у него, - ты не один из нас...
Она что-то говорила, но Избранный Мертвец был поглощён своими пошлыми, похабными мыслями. Как назло в голове вспомнился бой с Квилег, Ведьмой Хаоса – пока эта странная Людоедка Милдред кромсала её своим мясницким ножом, он, отойдя в сторонку, пялился на её грудь через бинокль... пока была такая возможность.
Тут же вспомнилось, как после непростой победы над Орнштейном и Смоугом вместо преклонения и благоговения перед Гвиневер Принцессой Света, тот бесцеремонно прожигал её совсем не маленькую грудь взглядом через бинокль. От этих мыслишек Избранный Мертвец почувствовал, как возбуждение пошло по всему телу, а внизу стало гораздо сильнее – хорошо, что кожа штанов была достаточно крепкой, чтобы не порваться...
Но тут его взору предстало нечто.
- Пушистенький хвостик!!! – словно маленький ребёнок, увидавший давно желанную игрушку, воскликнул он и бросился к изумлённой деве; точнее, её хвосту.
Избранный мертвец гладил его, тискал, скакал рядом с ним и тёрся об него всем телом, смущая незнакомку; при этом хвост извивался и дёргался во все стороны, показывая явное нежелание его владелицы обращаться с ним – и с ней тоже – подобным образом, доставляя тем самым ещё больше удовольствия Избранному Мертвецу.
- Если ты по ошибке попал в этот мир, то прошу тебя, - в её голосе уже начали проскакивать нотки злости и раздражения, - покинь его, спрыгнув с...
В этот момент, к ещё большему смущению и изумлению незнакомки Избранный Мертвец пал на холодные плиты, усеянные снегом, к её ногам... чтобы посмотреть – что там под странной одежонкой в надежде, что ничего более нет...
Но через прорези шлема в несколько мгновений было сложно что-либо разглядеть – особенно, когда его, словно пушинку кто-то схватил за шкирку и поднял высоко над каменными плитами – почти точно так же, как Титановый Демон, насадивший его на свой титанитовый шест-ловушку.
- Пошел вон! – раздраженно и смущённо вскрикнула незнакомка, мощным броском отправив Избранного Мертвеца в полёт в тот самый обрыв.
Вопя, как недорезанный, он думал, что разобьётся в бездне скал – но вместо этого с грохотом рухнул на гладкие плиты галереи Анор Лондо, где он и вошел в Нарисованный Мир через картину, проехавшись по гладким плитам, тем самым с разгону вписавшись головой в массивную колонну. От грохота и воплей на шум сбежались все стражи картин, бросая тем самым очередной вызов судьбы Избранному Мёртвому...
