You've made it. You made it to the Kiln of The First Flame. You stand at the Fog Gate. You steel yourself for what is ahead, and walk through.

As you walk in, you see a man in his twenties sitting on a throne wearing the full Paladin armor set. He has a Black Knight Greatsword in one hand and a Heavy Crossbow in the other. This man is not to be underestimated.

He begins to speak.

So. You're the one that made it past the bosses. No matter. I can't let you start the Age of Dark. Gwyn wouldn't have wanted it. So I must do whatever I can to stop you from doing so.

He begins to stand up and brandish his weapons.

Alright! Let's do this! HAVE AT THEE!
