Alva, Seeker of the Spurned | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

"Seeker of the spurned"...Miyazaki throwing shade on us, lol

Submit

Wait so Zullie died? And here I thought Alva got a good ending...

Submit

You, say it one more time, I dare you! Me: Seeker of the Sperm

Submit

who thought is was a good idea to make the one in the ringed city spawn even when not embers becuase the ringed city is hard egough

Submit

Alva, Seeker of the Edge of that Cliff

Submit

PC, ember up, no Pontiff killed and still no Alva spawn... c'mon I was planninng to get Murakumo since the begining

Submit

Alva is reffered to as a female in the portuguese version of the game. It's prolly a translation mistake tho. I've seen quite a few.

Submit

Does Alva need to invade you in Irythill for him to invade in Ringed City? I found the Black Witch set embered but he didn't invade. Same for Ledo, no invasion despite ember.

Submit

The King's pet

Submit

why is Bradley wearing his armor in ds 2?

Submit

Why does the trivia relate him to Karla?

He's obviously searching for Zullie, referenced both in DS2 and DS3.
While Karla may be in his story somehow, there is no direct correlation. Maybe Zullie was also imprisoned there at some point.

Submit

If he was a summon for Aava, and other hard DLC bosses in DaKS2, then those bosses wouldn't be a problem to him, the fight'd be over within 30-40 seconds.

Submit

I always thought Alva was a woman's name. Also when fighting him at the cliff I rolled near the edge and he straight up just walked off the cliff lol it was pretty funny.

Submit

hehe sperm

Submit

For some reason Alva won't invade in Ringed City. I was embered when I tested and I have already killed all of the bosses.

Submit

If you kill Pontiff Sulyvahn, Alva won't spawn even if you in Ember mode.
This wiki need update.

Submit

I like Alva, only because he is just like us... a simp and an invader.

Submit

I wish you could find Zulie and Alva in ringed city and maybe summon them for Midir's boss fight. Very interesting lore

Submit

Thanks Miyazaki

Submit

This dude kicks my ass in NG+8.

Submit

I remember going afk just as he invaded and when I returned I was so confused as to where he was so he must have fallen off against an opponent literally not doing anything

Submit

kills u and proceeds to fall off the cliff so u can't get ur revenge... i swear devs doing it on purpose lol.

Submit

this moron stun locks u and keeps spamming attacks, gotta fight him in a cliff, super long range which doesnt apply when u wield his katana yourself. and he falls off a cliff by himself after he kills u... awesome design

Submit

Horrible at pathfinding lmao
Could not make their way up some stairs to us once they fell down.

Submit

... 2 spin attacks, then he fall off the cliff

Submit

Alva, the simp

Submit

L1L1L1L1

Submit

Alva seeker of the sperm

Submit

So I had just killed midir and I was looking forward to getting wolf ring +3 (I didn’t have the one from watchdogs of Farron if that helps) I got the set but he didn’t spawn. Plz tell me what’s wrong.

Submit

So Zully wasnt enought right? you wanted another? you lusty knight dont cheat to your GF/Biggest fan >:(

Submit

Alva used an estus flask vs me.
Can confirm he is a casul.

Submit

Alva was so easy. I tried to use an Alluring Skull and before it even left my hand he fell off and died.

Submit

I guess he doesn't spawn at The Ringed City if you finished the DLC, I went there embered after finishing the game he didn't invade

Submit

More like Alva, Destroyer of casuals

Submit

Hits hard on ng+3

Submit

yeah this guy can just go f*ck himself

Submit

If you id not defeat him at first try, just re-ember and go again, he'll respawn.

Submit

Does anyone else feel like the area you walk onto that Alva spawns in looks similar to where Paladin Leeroy invades in Tomb of the Giants?

Submit

I doubt that’s the dark witch set, i may be wrong though.

Submit

Who throws an alluring skull to cheese, come one be a man

Submit

Getting invaded by the ghost of an angry weeb trying to keep you away from his dead waifu's clothes. Thanks ringed city DLC, i needed that thought in my head

Submit

alva used an estus flask vs me, can confirm she heals

Submit

If you lit the irithyll dungeon bonfire without being invaded by Alva because you're not embered, he doesn't invade after! Someone please confirm! I passed the manor bonfire and lit the irithyll dungeon bonfire without being embered, so I wasn't invaded because I didn't know about him. When I learned about him invading there, I passed the same route between these two bonfires embered and he didn't invade ever. I tried restarting the game and resting at the bonfire, but it didn't work. Anyone got any advice for me? Would be appreciated. Hope this info helps

Submit

He fell off the cliff when i was running back and forth just to come here and see if he died it cut off some questline

Submit

Alva is an absolute beast on ng+7

Submit

What idiot decided he should use a Murakumo? His armor is obviously designed for use with a shield, the left arm is fully armored for that reason like most of the knight armors. He’s more of a sword and shield style set, the dev that created him in ds2 odviously wasn’t the same one who placed him in ds3

Submit

To clear up some confusion, to make him spawn you just go to his area while embered and online.

Submit

I grew up on DS2, so it's pretty surreal being able to actually run into and see more of Alva when he was hailed as a heroic legend in DS2 without you ever having actually seen him. It's really cool that they showed more at all, let alone you actually seeing meeting Alva at Zullie's corpse in the ringed city and then getting dialogue saying they finally met there. An implied happy ending.

Submit

This guy along with Creighton are the most BS invaders in this game, as with NG+4 and above, it's a guaranteed two-shot.

Submit

Is there a way to get it if I killed yhorm

Submit

Heavy ultra greatswords absolutely destroy this guy, they stagger him and unless you have very little stamina you can take half his life in one combo easily.

Submit

Alva does indeed heal. For those of you that haven’t experienced this it’s because Alva only heals from a distance which means Alva will only heal if you run away. Alva also only heal at half health and below. I’m certain because I remeber alva healing once when I was invaded. It only happened once because I immediately got aggressive when I say Alva could heal.

Submit

Killed Midir and revived spears of the church but he still doesn't invade :(

Submit

Doesn’t he appear with 2 different names? If i recall, the invader in irithyll is "Alva, Seeker of the Spurned", but in the Ringed City you get invaded by "The Seeker of the Spurned". Or my memory might be shotty.

Submit

okay this guy does not appear in ds2. but this guy appear in ds3 as darkspirit or it likely that his armor set was stolen like zullie's does

Submit

lol he fell from a high place when he tried to dodge my attack.

Submit

doesn't spawn for me in the ringed city, killed all bosses but i revived judicator argo and i am at the right spot and am embered, do i have to rest at a bonfire for him to spawn or am i missing something?

Submit

doesn't invade me. I'm embered and haven't defeated Yhorm the giant also. Btw, im playing offline. Anyone can tell me the reason why?

Submit

I probably already know but I accidentally killed adjudicator, Midir l and Gael before finding alva. I take it I *****ed up and now have to wait until I start my ng+ to find?

Submit

Im not defeat Yhorm yet, and get embered.. Still, he not invade

Submit

For whatever reason he didn’t spawn for me at the Ringed City. Never happened before and I’ve played through this area dozens of times. Always spawned before. There must be some undocumented fail condition those of us he isn’t spawning for have stumbled upon? Sucks because I’m a low poise greatsword and UGS user.

Submit

This npc is insanely strong. Just ignore it. At ng+8 I'm still doing barely any damage to it and get 1 shot by his arrows and sword.

Submit

Never appeared for me

Submit

I confirm that he does not heal with estus.

Submit

doesnt spawn for me

Submit

keep distance while walking around the pillar thing closest to his spawn and shoot him with a crossbow. Literally killed him with like 12 bolts without taking any damage

Submit

Why on earth does killing this guy trigger greirats death?

Submit

he drops wolf ring +3 in ringed city :D

Submit

More like beyblades seeker of the spun...

Submit

The stunlock makes Alva the second strongest/worst invader, just behind Ledo.

Submit

Alva didn't heal throughout my fight with him, yea. Though the damned fool rolled off the stairs to his death... -_-;

Submit

Alva and Zullie's doomed love story is one of the most romantic and heartwarming thing (but heartbreaking all the same) in Dark Souls series... I feel sad just thinking about them ;-;

Submit

His *****ing weapon art spam on ng+ is plain cancer, considering it 1 hits you regardless of occasion.

Submit

Does not respawn when reinstating the kings decree like Ledo does.

Submit

I missed him at Irythill but was hoping to get him in the Ringed City so I could pick up Murakumo, however he doesn't seem to be spawning. I am embered, tried reloading the game, nothing. Anyone know what the problem could be? I've activated the shared graves and city streets bonfires, and knocked Midir off the bridge (did not kill him in the real boss fight though). Could doing any of these stop him from spawning?

Submit

If you miss Alva the first time, but kill him on the DLC, does the armour appear?

Submit

Protip: If you're doing speed runs, kill him when he spawns because he won't go back to his world until you fight Yhorm. You can't rest at the Profaned Capital's bonfire while he's in your world.

Submit

Anyone else not get murakumo to drop after killing him?

Submit

I didnt find him after crossing the bridge in Ringed Knight, and just take away the Black witch set, but I want my wolf ring+3>< does anyone know why he wasnt there? and how can I find him again!?

Submit

Just managed to pull off a parry when he kicked me, wtf?

Submit

I bet gangisburrito feels stupid about the Sulyvahn invasion claim

Submit

You must also be online to spawn Alva. When offline npcs never spawn now, i've tried this across multiple playthroughs and characters.

If you want an easy run through the ringed city, just go offline and you'll never get these invasions.

Submit

"Alva is a female name"?
Thomas Alva Edison.
It's gender neutral ;)

Submit

alva isnt invading me, however I am embered. Can anybody think of a solution for this? i've already tried reloading the area

Submit

He returns in the Ringed City, just to give you a nasty surprise when you are exhausted after dealing with the fat knights and the ringed knights. And this time no more cliff for cheesing. You're gonna face his revenge.

Submit

he invades in the new dlc too

Submit

*****

Submit

Just had Alva invade me after I killed Sulyvahn, so I've removed the line which - everyone in the comments agrees - wrongfully claimed he wouldn't invade.

Submit

Alva spawns when pontiff dickhead has been killed

Submit

The part about him not spawning if Pontiff Sulyvahn is dead is NOT true.

Submit

Alva WILL show up if pontiff is killed, I am on ng+ killed aldrich and she still invades

Submit

In my first encounter Alva did heal once. Died afterwards though so I can't say how many heals they have.

Submit

When you've killed Alva return to the city or Greirat will die. DON'T enter the dungeon before Greirat is back in the shrine.

Submit

Alva does not spawn if Pontiff Sulyvahn has been killed. (Personally tested from NG through NG+ 6 and Alva has only spawned when Sulyvahn still alive. -Gangisburrito)

This is wrong. I've killed Sylvan, cleared londo, went back to the dungeon and alva invaded.

Submit

He does invade if Sulyvahn is killed.

Submit

Your best friend is the tunnel to the dungeon and Great Chaos Fire Orb

Submit

if you keep your distance for too long, he will heal. Tested in NG+ with yhorm and the pontiff alive. I dont think its often in the RNG that he does however, only if you keep your distance. I soiled myself the first time because i was almost pushed off the edge so swung like a chicken and ran for it, watched him heal when i was far up the hill...

Submit

Why are From so terrible at balancing NPC invaders? In DS1, they're treated more or less as normal invaders in terms of health and damage, making them incredibly easy to deal with. In DS2 and 3, they're ridiculously souped up with impossible stats, with many thousands of hitpoints and dealing simply ridiculous damage. Find a balance between them! You're telling me that Alva can deal 800 damage with an R1 of a murakumo, but to prevent Sirris from being TOO GOOD you have her hit 50 damage? Transparent and inelegant.

Submit

Ok so it took 5 crystal soul spear, 2 homing soul mass and 1 black fire orb while 2 shots from him and I'm dead WTF you're telling me she/he has over 4500 points of health ??!!

Submit

That was really helpful, thanks. JK WHERE THE **** IS HE FFS
