Company Captain Yorshka is an NPC in Dark Souls 3.
Company Captain Yorshka Information
- Covenant leader of the Blades of the Darkmoon.
- Can be killed, which may aggravate Sirris of the Sunless Realms. (Note: If you kill her, you will not be able to offer her Proof of a Concord Kept making it impossible to rank up the Blades of the Darkmoon covenant unless you start NG+.)
Location
- You can find Company Captain Yorshka at Anor Londo. From the Anor Londo bonfire or approaching from Darkmoon Tomb, walk to the spinning tower. When it is in the "down" position, go to the top and face Anor Londo. Walk straight off the open ledge on the left. In the "up" position, take the spiral stairs to the bottom and walk off the only open platform. Travel straight on the invisible bridge until you are aligned with the tower to your right side, and drop down to it. You can use Prism Stones if you are unsure about the location of the invisible bridge.
Drops
- Souls: NG (3000), NG+ (6000), NG++ (??), NG+3 (??), NG+6 (??), NG+9 (??)

Dialogue
First encounter dialogue
Name thyself, stranger.
I am Yorshka, Captain of the Darkmoon Knights.
What beckoned thee to such a place?"
Selecting: "Perform Darkmoon Loyalty"
Thou think'st to-
Very well. Captain to this knightless company, I remain.
I will grant thee purpose.
Thou'st journeyed far; hear my voice.
If thou shalt swear by the Covenant, to become
A shadow of Father Gwyn and Sister Gwynevere,
A blade that shall hunt the foes of our lords;
Then I place thee under the aegis,
and the power, of the Darkmoon.
Thou'rt now a Blade of the Darkmoon.
The only knight of our company.
Swear this oath, and face thy solemn duty."
Selecting "Do nothing"
May the Darkmoon watch over thee.
Upon kneeling before her
Oh, good Blade of the Darkmoon, welcome home.
If I can provide thee succour, only tell me how."
Upon selecting "Talk"
Long ago, our father Gwyn,
lamenting the waning of the fire,
became cinder of his owen will.
Now, the fire is linked,
by the champions who have come in his stead.
Such is the will of father, and the gods.
And so the Darkmoon knights took arms,
to watch over those who link the fire.
But long ago, our company lost its last proper knight.
Only its covenant was preserved, to this day,
until the time of thy visit.
Heridom taketh many forms, indeed."
Selecting "Talk" again (only once per playthrough)
May I pose thee a question?
This tower, this prison, stands tall and solitary,
the contraption bridging its lower reaches long unmoving.
So... by what path didst thou here ascend?
Art thou a creature of the air, or other winged thing?"
Selecting "Yes, I can fly"
Oh, my! I imagined it might be so.
Then thou'rt a dragon, or perhaps a crow?
Well, whatever thou beest, thou'rt wondrous strange,
yet strangely familiar, visitor."
*Laugh*
Selecting "No, I can't fly"
No I suppose not."
"Of course not. Think no more of my asking."
"I'm ashamed to say, I know not much of anything..."
Upon reaching covenant Rank 1
My Blade of the Darkmoon, thy deeds merit great worship.
As captain, 'tis my duty to honour knights of great accomplishment.
Please, it is thine, and not lightly given.
As a shade of Father Gwyn and Sister Gwynevere,
Persevere in thy knightly duty,
hunting down the gods' would-be foes."
Upon reaching covenant Rank 2
My Blade of the Darkmoon, thy deeds merit great worship.
As captain, 'tis my duty to honour knights of great accomplishment.
This is a wonder of the Darkmoon,
inherited from my brother for this very purpose.
Please, take this. Thou'rt most deserving of it.
As a shade of Father Gwyn and Sister Gwynevere,
Persevere in thy knightly duty,
hunting down the gods' would-be foes."
Selecting "Talk" after reaching covenant Rank 2
The Darkmoon Knights were once led by my elder brother,
the Dark Sun Gwyndolin.
But he was stricken by illness,
and leadership of the knights fell to me.
Then Sulyvahn wrongfully proclaimed himself Pontiff,
and took me prisoner.
Oh where could my dear brother be?
If only he were here,
I would be most pleased for ye both to meet.
As, most assuredly, would he."
Upon Dying
Dear brother, forgive me..."
Trivia
- Interestingly, Yorshka's tower (Prison Tower) is in the place the cathedral leading to the Ariamis painting was in Dark Souls 1. The painting guardian weapon and armor are also found at this location.
- The Prison Tower containing Yorshka is the church tower directly above the Church of Yorshka in Irithyll and has a route connecting them (however only one way by dropping down).
- Yorshka actually has a tail and is reminiscent of Priscilla, who can be found in the painted world of Ariamis in the first entry to the Dark Souls Trilogy. She also calls Gwyn her father and Gwynevere her sister.
- The dialogue when selecting talk after reaching rank 2 in the covenant states that Dark Sun Gwyndolin is her elder brother and that when he fell sick Sulyvhan wrongly named himself Pontiff, and locked her in the tower. She then states she became the leader of the Blades of the Darkmoon when Gwyndolin disappeared. Based on other dialogue from Pontiff Sulyvahn's Soul, we know that Gwyndolin was fed to Aldrich by Suhlyvan, hence Aldrich's title "Devourer of Gods", and his appearance is similar to Gwyndolin's.
- There are a lot of similarities between Priscilla and Yorshka (appearance, tail, location in Anor Londo), however, it is unsure if there is any form of actual connection between them.
- The description of Lifehunt Scythe implies that Aldrich dreamt of Priscilla or Yorshka when he devoured Gwyndolin, indicating some sort of connection between them and Gwyndolin, be it simple knowledge on Gwyndolin's side about the painting (or how she knows that her sister has been imprisoned), or her being somehow involved. It is most likely referring to Priscilla, considering the miracle is named after and based on her weapon.

I heard a bell from Yorshka's tower (Prison Tower) when I was at the lever for the spiral staircase for the first time.

I really don't think she's calling Gwyn and Gwynevere her father and sister in a familial way. It's capitalization makes it seem like a religious title.
Gywndolin is obviously a different story.
I'd love to see the Japanese lines on this for better context
- Anonymous
I'm almost 100% sure that she's common daughter of Gwyndolin and Priscilla: obviously too young to be Gwyn's child (either biological or adopted), has features of both her potential parents, we know that Yorshka speaks of Gwyndolin as a "brother" in a religious manner. Wonder why people don't speak about this theory

Please don't tell me someone here thought best femboi in all of fiction Gwyndolin was a girl.

Gwyndolin knows about Priscilla because they always had control over the painted World of Ariamis, being sort of a gatekeeper. Their purpose was simply hiding what Gwyn was ashamed of

If you don’t get the Darkmoon Loyalty gesture from Sirris, you cannot really interact with her. She will simply ask you to leave or you will upset Pontiff Sullivan (even though he’s dead by this point).

I dont have good knowledge about darksouls lore but isn't it possible that the painting guardian are in fact guarding Priscilla to prevent her to escape ? I think in the end she might found a way to escape but then have been imprisoned in that tower. Thus, thé and the guardians ended up guarding the tower to escape again ? That would explain why we can find guardian's set in the only visible access to reach her.
She has no brother or father. She's another moon illusion. A siren to keep the covenant running. A pitiful existence, damned from birth.

Are her arms abnormally short? I feel like no one ever talks about this. She's obviously extremely thin and tall, but her arms seem like they are half the size they need to be. Am I crazy?

I appreciate dark souls’ vague storytelling that invites the player to speculate and analyze in order to involve their imagination in the evolvement of the story but sometimes I feel they give us too little to go off of in order to reach any satisfactory conclusion about any of this

This character doesn't make any damn sense. Gwyn would not have a dragon child, he hates dragons. There is no evidence whatsoever that Giants and Dragons can even breed. Priscilla was made in a lab ffs.

I just couldn’t bring myself to kill her after all the nice things she says after turning in the 30 proofs. Oh well. Talismans are better anyway. Guess it’s cuz this is my first Dark Souls game but I don’t get why everyone hates her. She seems nice.

so shes in charge of the Darkmoons now I'm sorry yorshka but i only follow gwyndolin so piss off

Remember invaders, its thanks to Yorshka that there are 2 Covenants that do the exact same thing and why a host is guaranteed a blue spirit or 2 or 3 when they were alone just a minute ago. Keep that in mind when you kill her.

After watching how her covenant works, i'm quite sure that sulyvahn's only wrongdoings was leaving her in the tower instead of killing her.

Let me get this straight, she is NOT blood-related to Gwyn or Gwynevere. Because she isn't present at all in Ds1 which showed anor londo AND blades of Darkmoon at their gloriest times (maybe not "gloriest" but it's not miserable like Ds3). And she is not Priscilla too, because they are LITERALLY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. Both looks and personality, there is nothing that makes yorshka Priscilla. Considering there is no "reincarnation" in Dark Souls universe as well. Stop making theories with your backside.

Ayo where can I buy a deck of cards in this heap of trash. She looks like she needs to play some games. Must be lonely in that tower

i know i should break the news to her that Aldrich sort off devoured her brother gwyndolin but i think that would make her cry and i would like to avoid that there's enough sadness in darksouls
I think she's just another moon illusion of Gwyndolin. Created in the image of his long lost sister Priscilla (check the description for the Lifehunt Scythe miracle). Cause Yorshka thinks she is part of the family but only recites the common legends. She is also so naive that it becomes horrifying. As a person she makes no sense. Her story makes no sense. As an artificaly created false idole to worship (Yorshka's Spear) and to keep the Blades alive (with Sirris, Leonhard and us) though she works extremely well. So well that people even start to battle each other here in the comments if you are allowed to kill her or not!
There's simps.
There's anti-simps.
And then there's people who get way too invested in a video game and feel bad about killing poor, defenseless characters. :(

Guys, she is just a game character. And not your weird waifu.
And even if she were real. I bet she wouldn't choose some weebie neckbeards who are drooling over her. She would surely be embarrassed.

After being a darkmoon from ds1 and a blue sentinel in dark souls 2, i kinda hoped in ds3 it would be the same. With you invading the invader's own world, punishing the sinner and yata yata. I was kinda annoyed when i found the sentinels were nothing but 2 more phantoms to carry you through the game, but i thought it just was one of miyazaki's many ways of saying "i hate ds2".
But turns out the darkmoon covenant and the blue sentinels are EXACTLY the same in this game. Instead of punishing the guilty, or at least making them regret halting the progress of other players by using enemies to gank, i'm doing the opposite wich is ganking along the host's phantoms and giving free help to those who don't truly need it and DEFINETLY don't deserve it.
Needless to say, i was infuriated enough to destroy this crossbreed bastard once i got all this covenant could offer and i'll continue to kill her on each ng+ i go through.
The way i see it, she's guilty for degenerating the entire souls community, and vengeance shall be served in this game and beyond.
turns out she drops a chime and it had the best spell buff, had to kill her to boost my sunlight spear to the next level, if you are doing the covenant obviously wait to be done with it and get the extra catalyst afterwards, did i mention it has an S scaling in faith?

Lore theory: Maybe Yorshka is the daughter or reincarnation (or both somehow) of Priscilla and Gwyndolin took her in while she was young and told her that they were siblings. They might actually be related too if you believe that Priscilla's mother is Gwynevere.

So let me get this straight: you're sitting in a place that snows 24/7 with literally sheets for clothes, barefoot to boot, and you haven't frozen to death!
Then again, this is Dark Souls after all.

she could be the reincarnation of priscilla in a similar way to how the lord souls are recycled as we learnt from ds2 (with old iron king being gwyn, the rotten as nito, nashandra as manus, etc)

I don't buy that Gwyn is her biological father, it simply goes against everything Gwyn stood for until the moment he died, but there is a clear link between Gwyndolin (referred as brother by her, gave Yorshka her name and probably hid her in the tower casting an illusion over the invisible bridge), Priscilla (the only known crossbreed with a dragon tail) the painted world (the tower is in the same place where we access the building leading to the painting, and you find the Painting Guardian set there) and Pontiff Sulyvahn (he comes from the painted world, usurped Gwyndolin political power, fed him to Aldritch and took over Irithyll, casting the wall that can only be accessed with a doll, Irythill slaves worship Yorshka, and she has a church named after her)
The way I see it there's a few possibilities:
1. Gwyndolin found Yorshka in the Painting
2. Gwyndolin created Yorshka using Priscilla's soul
3. Yorshka is the new version of Priscilla, meaning she got repainted and her features changed
4. Pontiff Sulyvahn brought Yorshka from the painting to the real world
I don't really know what to make of this, perhaps it was out of desperation that Gwyndolin appointed Yorshka as the new leader of the Darkmoon covenant after falling ill, or he had a soft spot for abominations. I simply don't accept that Yorshka could be biologically related to Gwyn.

So, she's crossbreed Priscilla herself? She looks so deprived and malnourished, but to think she's survived that long.
Hope she'll be well in Dark Souls 4.

Could Yorshka be the real world version of Priscilla? Where as Priscilla is in a painting that isn’t connected to the rest of the game, and is tall, pretty and a princess of sorts.. Yorshka is tall, frail and hidden away from sight. Maybe Priscilla is a manifestation in the mind of Yorshka of who she wanted to be, and maybe SHE is who made the painting, and Gwyn would rather have this painting be seen than his own child. By entering the painting you aren’t actually entering another world, but into Yorshka’s imagination. To enter Ariamis? You need a doll. To enter Irithyll? You need a doll. And perhaps that doll belonged to her, and by having it in your possession it allows you to experience her imaginary world. After all, you find the Peculiar Doll in the Undead Asylum, a place where people are locked away from the rest of the world, and is.. SNOWY. And Ariamis is full of horrible enemies who are corrupted, and enemies like Harpies who are half human half crow.. hmm, just like how she asks if you can fly because maybe you’re a crow. Or maybe you’re a dragon? Like the undead dragon that guards her chamber in her own imaginary world. This SPECULATION is getting to heavy for me, I must go now, before FROM assassinates me.

The Cathedral of the Deep, Church of Yorshka and various other spires in Anor Londo all have a figure of a cat protruding out from their roofs. There is one right above Yorshka’s head. DEEPEST LORE.

She is so cute ^^ Also, keep in mind: Yorshka's Chime: "At 60 FTH it has a spellbuff of 247." - Kill the innocent creature. Required Faith 30. Saint's Talisman: "At 60 FTH it has a spellbuff of 242." - No need to kill the innocent creature, can be obtained in early game (sewer at Undead Settlement). Required Faith 16. The choice is obvious.

Why does this page still say that Aldrich may have dreamt of Priscilla or yorshka? It's clearly Priscilla cause yorshka is not a pale young girl in HIDING, she's imprisoned by sulyvahn as per the dialogue.

So is she Gwyns bastard child which he kept hidden to make sure no one realised he clapped them dragon cheeks? I mean if you talk with her and choose "No, i cant fly" she'll say "I'm ashamed to say, I know not much of anything..." and why that would be? That or she may be a daughter of the Nameless but gods decided to take her as their own (but still hide her cuz daddys criminal/search/life history had 2 b deleted)

I think Priscilla was the dragon Gwyn's firstborn "allied" with. Since Priscilla is considered an abomination, maybe Yorshka was the reason he was exiled.
