Soul of the Nameless King Usage
- Can be consumed for 16,000 Souls
- Can be used to make the Storm Curved Sword via Soul Transposition
- Can be used to make the Dragonslayer Swordspear via Soul Transposition
- Can be used to make the Lightning Storm via Soul Transposition
Soul of the Nameless King Locations
- Obtained from defeating The Nameless King
Notes
- This is the only Boss Soul that can be transmuted into three different items, instead of only two. Thus, the Nameless King is the only boss that must be fought a minimum of three times (requiring at least Journey 3, or NG++) in order for an individual character to acquire all his associated soul transposed loot.
Trivia
- He is most likely the First Born Son of Gwyn. The Storm Curved Sword states, "When the great beast fell, the king claimed his soul, as was the custom in the age of gods." so we know he is at least as old as Dark Souls 1 and his other item the Dragonslayer Swordspear states, "The swordspear is imbued with lightning, of which he was the heir.". Thus being at least as old as the Age of the Gods and the heir to lightning(Sunlight) there leaves little room as to who he is if he is a character already established in lore. Speculation: All this information coupled with the similarity in appearance, height, build, and fighting techniques has led many to conclude that he is without a doubt Gwyn's longlost heir and perhaps was expunged from history to hide his "shameful defection" from his father's kingdom in favor of the everlasting dragons.

I love how the god of war, gwyn's son, one of the hardest bosses in this game, can be consumed for 16,000 souls. And yet the deacons are worth 20,000?? From, i'll see you in court!

The curved sword isn’t as flashy as the spear (literally) but it’s very strong and versatile, pvp included. One of my more surprising weapon favs; it’s hard to get bored with the weapon.

I managed to beat him today (I recently started playing this game pls don't hate me) and I wonder what weapon I should craft with his soul (if any). Does anyone have a recommendation?
My life was complete once I saw somebody saying nameless king was the love child of ornstein and gwyn

Why is there character lore on a page about the soul item? Are you pseuds really that keen to have your theorycrafting shoved in everyone's face?

Well, people are objectively wrong if they think the former War God, removed from History and Banished was a guy still at home and all over the games lore as 1/4 Elite Knights. These guys don't read a darn thing. They see DSS and that's it, the end of the complex thought because it requires zero reading. "DkS3 Leo Ring" despite all the Lore, it's the one thing mentioning they are seperate people.

It’s quite obvious that this is the love child of Ornstein and Gwyn.
Technically he's one of 2 bosses u need to beat 3 tines to have all their loot (at once). This is because to have the twin princes sword u give up their other 2 swords.

The Lightning Storm Also says " the former king and Wargod" Which also adds to the evidence that he is Gwyn's Firstborn

I like how nobody mentions he uses the sunlight spear during the fight. Not the lightning spear the SUNLIGHT!!!! the description even states it was gwyn's miracle. So thats the piece of info that decides it for me

I beat the nameless king, took me a ton of attempts, finally beat him, saved my game and shut down my PS4, and when I turned it back on the next day the soul was GONE when I went to transpose it. nobody else uses my system and I sure a hell didn't use it or drop it, it's just F***ING GONE

You get access to the dragonslayer set and a *****ing titanite slab for your troubles. I guess if you are running a faith build the swordspear is good enough, but if you are not this fight just is not worth it.

I think we can make an interesting claim about the lore now, seeing how clearly the Nameless King is the sun's firstborn. Sacred Oath reads: "This is the tale of the Sun's Firstborn, his faithful first knight, and the dragonslayer who served them both. The faithful first knight I believe can be nobody but Solaire, who started the covenant in his honor. The one thing that doesn't sit right is the dragonslayer. There has been only one dragonslayer named in the entire series, Ornstein. The old dragonslayer may or may not be him, same with the dragonslayer armour. If I'm correct, this would mean that not only did Solaire personally know the Nameless King, but he at one point had a position of authority in Anor Londo such that he could command the leader of the dragonslayers.

Is just me or does seem like the vast majority of ds2 has been rewritten and or ignored completely? That's fine since quite frankly the story of ds2 was awful. Great and fun game, but a terrible story/lore

I'm unsure about the Gwyns son thing, as far as we know his son left Anor Londo after Gwyn went to the Kiln to link the Fire (Sunlight Blade description). The war agains the Dragons should have taken place some thousand years prior to Gwyn linking the fire.

The reason why Ornstein's armor was found by the nameless king (Gwyn's firstborn son) wasn't because he was his mentor (not really sure where this theory came from), he went to to search for him to presumably serve him, or perhaps kill him so as to regain his honor after his betray of Gwyn. Ornstein was the first born son's faithful first knight. Proof of this is found in the description of the Leo Ring which implicitly says so. As previously stated, Ornstein was there for one of three possible reasons, to serve the Nameless King, to kill him for his betrayal of Gwyn, or even perhaps to convince him to return to the light (so to speak).

it seems that most people think this guy is the first born of gwyn only based on the god of war part but what if we look at the other evidence, the fact that he was a DRAGONSLAYER and that a set of armor can be found right past him, that and his fighting style seems oddly familiar. Id say the nameless king is none other then ornstien himself

As it turns out THIS GUY is the god of war not solaire hopefully page will be updated soon
He obviously has some connection to Gwyn, since he's a god, a slayer of dragons, etc. But I would like to point out that him weilding the Sunlight Spear doesn't necessarily indicate he is an heir to Gwyn. The Chosen Undead can use the Sunlight Spear. The Bearer of the Curse can use the Sunlight Spear. The Ashen One can use the Sunlight Spear.
