Encounters
Dusk was the princess of Oolacile at the time it was attacked by the abyss. She was saved by a knight she believes to be Artorias and thus survived the destruction of Oolacile, becoming the only known survivor. At some point after her rescue she became trapped in a golden crystal golem in what was to become the Darkroot Basin. In stasis inside the crystal, she was preserved until present day. Should the player choose to free her, she will offer to teach them the light-manipulating sorceries of Oolacile. She will disappear shortly after her rescue, and if the player agreed to her offer, will be available for summon near the body floating in the lake.
- After defeating the Hydra in the Darkroot Basin, hug the left hand side of the lake and follow the edge past the ladder until you see a Golden Crystal Golem at the far end of the lake. Note: You must quit and reload your game, warp, or leave the area for the golem to appear. It is also recommended that you wear the Rusted Iron Ring before engaging the golem.
- After you kill the golem, Dusk should appear in its place. She will thank you and ask if her sorceries could be an assistance, so answer 'yes' and she will lay down her signature and await to be summoned. If you answer 'no' to her question she will not appear again. If the golem is not at the back of the cave after defeating Hydra, try either reloading the game or exiting and touching a bonfire.
- (AotA) After the player acquires and places the Lordvessel, Dusk's summon sign will cease to appear. Instead, the player must acquire the Broken Pendant from the crystal golem in the beginning of the Duke's Archives and bring it to the area where Dusk's golem appeared in the Darkroot Basin to access a portal to Oolacile. In the Oolacile Sanctuary Elizabeth will sell Dusk's sorceries in her stead.
- (AotA) She appears in the Chasm of the Abyss after Manus has been defeated, sobbing quietly and inconsolable. She will not speak to the player. She can be killed by a melee attack in this state, however. Doing so will, besides the obvious effect of removing her from the game entirely, also cause mushroom lady Elizabeth in the Sanctuary to vanish, rendering Dusk's shop inaccessible for the remainder of the playthrough.
- (AotA) Once saved from the Abyss, her summon sign will reappear at her summoning spot in the Basin. She believes to have been saved by Artorias, but remarks on his similarities to the player.
IMPORTANT: Killing the golden crystal golem with magic that has a lingering effect,such as chaos fireballs,can and will immediately kill Dusk.
Summoning
- Her sign is directly in front of the lake where you fought the Hydra. Should be in front of a small rock. She will tell the player a small amount of personal history and thank the player profusely for her rescue.
- If her sign is not there you may need to reload the game to get it to appear.
- Note: Her sign sometimes appears to be in the water just in front of the rock.
- Watch out for the enemies on the beach, they can kill her if you're not careful.

AnonymousSo I went to go grab her armor set but I couldn’t see her summon sign (which made me forget about the golems) I then see the prompt in the water and I summon her without thinking. THE FIRST FRAME she is summoned two golems charge down and smack her in the face, then when I try to kill the golems they move behind her forcing me to finish her off. Those two golems had a mission and they succeeded.

Accidentally pressed R1 and killed her while talking to her. Does killing her mean I can't access the DLC? I really f u cking hope not because I don't want to start a new character and do everything I've done all over again just because I pressed R1 by accident.

Died to manus a **** amount of times, i kill him, i'm happy, i keep swinging, i kill her a soon as she spawns.

Died just as my summoned homie landed the last hit on Manus, so I got the soul. Ran back and plunging attacked off the cliff not knowing Dusk was down there lol still not sure if I killed her, or she’s glitched out for good. Elizabeth talks to me as if everything is chill, but I think this may be one of way of permanently messing up the quest progression because Dusk isn’t down in the Abyss despite having never spoke with her. Her summon sign is also absent from the Basin. Wump wump

She doesn't seem to be appearing. I obtained the lordvessel but haven't placed it, so is that what's keeping her from appearing? The DLC portal isn't appearing either

So, I discovered a nice way to ruin your run. Here you go:
1. Create a cleric with the goal to make him a faith-based melee fighter who heavily relies on lightning bolts.
2. Play the first five or so hours of the game. Clear the complete Undead Burg, kill Taurus, Capra, Gargoyles, Hydra, Havel.
3. Kill the golden golem, talk to Dusk.
4. Happily anticipate the Crown of Dusk on which your run relies.
5. Skip through her dialogue and accidentaly tip "No." when she asks you if you want her magic because its the "default" answer on which the cursor first rests.
6. Realize that Dusk is now gone forever.
7. Realize that you can now never obtain the crown because her set spawns only when you summon her for the first time.Also realize that your build is more or less useless now.
8. Delete your character.
9. Cry.
There you go! Feel free to try out this amazing experience!

Spent 5minutes looking for her sign after killing manus for the blue golem to smack her as soon as she spawn.

What if Velka = Dusk? Wife of Gwyn kidnapped by Manus but also "experimented" on by Seeth. Dusk uses Ooalicile magic. Hidden Body/ Weapon = Priscilla, Hidden Bridge illusion DS3 = Yorshka, Gwyndolin uses illusion to hide Gwynevere
Manus kidnapping a pregnant Dusk/Velka would corrupt her womb with the dark hence why Priscilla is hidden away, why Gwyndolin has dark moon powers and why Yorshka has that spell as a reward and the Yorshka chime which uses int/faith.

Velka = Dusk. Her kids use her magic. She was kidnapped by Manus as well as being experimented on and captured by Seethe. Much like in Berserk with the moonlight child being corrupted during the eclipse, Dusk (dusk meaning coming darkness or night) womb was corrupted by Manus and Seethe. She birthed 4 kids all with Oolacile and Dark powers. Maybe her and Gwyn had 1 son not corrupted The Nameless King.

Worth note that as of DS Remastered, upon finishing the AOTA expansion, Dusk outright states it was the player who rescued her, and not artorias.
- Anonymous
so apparently the plot of my DLC adventure was all for nothing. By the time I got to the Manus fight, I completely forgot that the premise was that I was meant to be rescuing Dusk. Seeing this poor sobbing lady on the floor lying in the middle of the abyss, completely unable to talk to her, it was just such a miserable and hopeless sight - I thought the point was that she needed putting out of her misery.
It was just seconds after the blow from my greataxe landed, that a vague memory of a mushroom asking me to save a princess resurfaced. And it turned out that even the mushroom was now gone. It was at this point that I quietly warped back to the present time, never to speak of the incident again

I was just wondering about this...it should've had more lines in the dialogue. Feels like we're missing something important.

When she refers to your "balance of the humours," I guess she's not referring to the classical four humours, but maybe souls and humanity? Souls appear to represent something like honor or dignity, whereas humanity is more emotional and chaotic... Artorias was overburdened by humanity, and we get a glimpse of his anguish and rage firsthand, having lost his dignity.

Dusk will say that you saved her in her dialogue after beating Manus if you’re wearing Artorias Set

I said no to her because I figured her set would pop up faster that way. I don't she her set or summon sign. Is there no way to get the crown at this point?

What happens if you summon her, kill her and then go do the DLC? Will she still appear after you kill Manus?

I love Dusk soo much. I want to marry her and have babies with her. She is truly the love of my life and is truly perfect in every single way.

So, who actually tells you there is a golden golem there in a tucked-away corner that was empty after killing the hydra, but only shows after a reload after killing the hydra?
Serious question. Without googling, unless you went back there randomly, how the hell would you know?

Hints on this stupid site are so misleading. I climbed the big ass ladder and kept dying around the river looking for her. While in fact she is on the left site of the LAKE below

I'm here because Mew2King just keeps letting his Twitch chat convince him to swing on people.

I have been playing for a while without summoning any npcs b/c I don't want to get invaded. If I summon her will it open me up to invasion?

Baby, you must be Dusk of Oolacile, cause you're giving me Royal Wood, and all I want to do is check out your abyss so I can show you my hidden weapon trick. ;).

So i killed manus but didnt interact with dusk and didnt light the bonfire because i died, then when i returned back to her i couldn’t find her, i even went to darkroot basin and she still wasn’t there. What do ?

So after obtaining the Lordvessel and NOT setting it at Firelink Shrine, I went to Darkroot Basin to farm some Blue Titanite Chunks. I went to Dusk to buy some spells just so I could have them for the playthrough. I did another run because I’m farming and noticed her summon sign was gone. I know the wiki says when you obtain the Lordvessel her sign disappears but I talked to her once already while having the it. Can someone explain this wanky danky bull*****

It doesn't matter if she dies. You can still get to the dlc through the normal process.

I got her first run. Her sign is on the right side of the hydra arena next to a rock. After I used a humanity to reverse hollowing, her set appeared at the back of the cave where the golden golem was.
- Anonymous
Her sign didn’t appear for me even though I answered yes to her question. I did everything right but apparently From Software sucks at making remasters. Make sure to upload your save file to usb before killing the golden golem or you may have to wait for ng+ for these spells. This game is ridden with glitches!

So pissed off, went through the trouble of killing that fucking hydra, used a chaos pyromancy on the Golem, and now gotta wait till next playthough. No warning whatsoever. Ducking hate this game.
- Anonymous
Small correction: actually placing the lordvessel doesn't seem to trigger her appearance. Simply acquiring it does.
On my current, first playthrough I got back from Anor Londo through warping and am pissing about, farming stuff here and there. My lordvessel ain't in place yet but Dusk's summon sign has disappeared.
