Laurentius of the Great Swamp | Dark Souls Wiki

Said yes to him without knowing what would happen. I'm dreading the trip to The Great Hollow.

Submit

Remember, bros. It's perfectly fine to tell your fellow bros to not dare go hollow. It'll mean more to them than you can imagine.

Submit

I accidentally hit him, so I went to the guy in the parish bell, but I can't find him anywhere

Submit

I still think Maneater Mildred is what killed him, as I find it hard to believe that he died in his homeland so easily.

Submit

how can this guy be so kind... even if you attack him he will talk about being your friend.

Submit

after i came back after saving solaire with poison mist he asked me where i got it and i told him, so that made him hollow huh? :(

Submit

He sounded so sad when I said "no" :( I felt bad even if I know it was for his own good... why are you doing this to me, game?

Submit

Nothing wrong with saying yes to him. At least once he has gone hollow, you can put him to rest. The life of a Pyromamcer, as he himself stated, isn't a good one. He is simply wandering with no purpose anyways, and of course, that is why the undead go hollow in the first place. He went after the chaos flame, and was burned by it. Not unlike the Burnt Ivory King from DS2. Thus why he ends up hollow in Blighttown. Better to give him a duel in the swamps, where Pyromancy originated from, and where pyromamcers truly feel home.

Submit

My first playthrough I didn't know rolling could destroy barrels and, stupidly not considering bare handed attacks, tried to just nick it with a sword strike. Needless to say I missed and pissed him off. I didn't know absolution existed either so fought him.

Then panic-attacking Eingyi on sight resulted in my first run of Dark Souls being Pyromancy free. Fun times.

Submit

I sometimes just don't understand dark souls. It sometimes has one of the most intricate questlines I have seen like being able to save Solaire if you kill all sunlight maggots or fking reviving the fire keeper in firelink by invading Lautrec but my boy Laurentius? He ends up dying in Blighttown and the "quest" just ends there. To make it worse, it seemed like he was the only one who genuinely cared about the chosen undead. I will never set foot in Blighttown ever again, I'm sorry my friend, rest in peace.

Submit

BRO, HOW I GET THE PYROMANCY FLAMES +10 NOW, PLS SOMEONE HELP ME, I SAID YES TO HIM

Submit

The only man you never should say YES to

Submit

Laurentius also moves to Blighttown and goes Hollow if you feed his Pyromancy Flame to Frampt.

Submit

Ffs.... Why the **** did I answer "Yes" to his last question?
Why oh why!!!!

Submit

I just came here to see where he went after I said Yes.
Wtf!!!!!!!!

Submit

should have looked at this before i said yes... always liked coming back and talking to him when passing through firelink

Submit

I'm sorry.

Submit

I don't want him to go hollow, so is there any benefit to saying yes vs no mechanically? Do you need to say yes to advance some other quest? Basically, is there any reason not to say no to him about the chaos pyromancy?

Submit

I thought I'd be returning the favor of teaching me Pyromancy by saying yes. If only I knew. I'm sorry my dear friend

Submit

Said yes and now firelink shrine feels lonely

Submit

Why did I say yes

Submit

Love the man and his accent. Don't you dare tell him that pyromancy location.

Submit

Love the man and his accent. Don't you dare let him go hollow.

Submit

Why won't Laurentius improve my pyromancy flame? I started as Pyromancer and the option simply isn't there.

Submit

love how the most forgettable character in the game isn't the most forgettable character in the game because of one line, impressive.

Submit

I like him.

Submit

My lore theory is that the corpse where you find poison mist is his teacher he was talking about who was still in the great swamp

Submit

The tattered set and the poison mist pyromancy is found right around the left side on a body after killing him and reloading at the near by bonfire, likely is him

Submit

Everyone pour one out for my boy Laurentius. Said goodbye to him today knowing full well what would happen and I put myself through the uncomfortable walk across Blighttown's swamp just to put him out of his misery. He did almost no damage and I killed him in two hits. Rest in peace Laurentius you were my best friend

Submit

"What, that pyromancy? Nah it's a secret. You're a great teacher btw. Have a great day Laurentius."

Submit

I liked this guy made the area less depressing

Submit

Accidentally hit him while trying to "zoom" the binoculars on examining his face because fricking C.Warrior addressed him as an old man. And he doesn't look that old, or maybe this guy is like Bruno who' still looking sharp at 50

Submit

just said yes to him, fml

Submit

At one time he said
"Ey where are you going bro wait!"
And when you turn back he said something like
"It was just a joke" haha

Submit

bruh it was late in the morning n i was tired, tried to use his pyromancy flame to trade with snuggly for early chaos weapon. On accident dropped it on the wrong nest and it despawned and i already killed engy. run is dead

Submit

ataquei ele sem querer o que eu faço?

Submit

Best boi with sunbro and Griggs ngl

Submit

Best boi with sunbro ngl

Submit

this guy and solaire became Gloriously Incandescent in my world, they found their peace and happiness because of all of the NPCs they and Artorias/Sif deserve it the most after all their struggles

Submit

"be safe friend, and dont you dare go hollow". best quote in the game.

Submit

Laurentius and Solaire are my favourite characters, dang, but both of them will be kind of sad by the end.

Submit

would've been useful if you included the cost of upgrading the pyromancy flame...

Submit

When I first played the game for the first time I got to the part where you tell him about the chaos flame. After I tell him about it He says one final time don’t you dare go hollow. Fast forward a couple of hours later I go back to blighttown to go get the lord soul in izalith. In blighttown I see a light on the other side of the area. I said what the hell and when to see what it was. To my surprise here comes laurentius charging at me. In my picking I kill him. I screamed NO because I thought he was coming over to talk with me. I looked up laurentius quest line to see what I would have missed. I then learn that you have to kill him for his quest to end. Man laurentius was easily one best characters in ds because he was different from the others. He would always said don’t you dare go hollow. Damn now I’m sad after writing this :(

Submit

Never say yes to this guy.

Submit

Honestly my second or third favorite character in the game. Solaire and the Blacksmith in Undead Parish being one and two. I cant stand watching all these dudes go hollow though, its so damn sad

Submit

Personally I find it odd he goes hollow. Most every character in game go hollow when they lose their sense of purpose and/or destiny, I wonder what sense of reason he lost in Blight Town. I’m going to guess he got hopelessly lost in his search for the mother’s of pyromancy and succumbed to a brooding despair which caused him to hollow. That and a combination of dying over and over from poisoning perhaps.

Submit

what happened i didn't talk to anyone in blighttown or daughter of chaos why he disappear while i was gathering souls on my NG account and when in came back he was gone?

Submit

"dont you dare go hollow" *goes hollow in blighttown*

Submit

This man is stupid, you have fire magic but cant escape a WOODEN BARREL?

Submit

When you first meet him at Firelink after rescuing him from the depths, he will ask you whether or not you "find the magics unsavoury". No matter which option you pick (yes or no) he will be disappointed and you'll have to talk to him again to get the pyromancy flame and spells. It's really strange...

Submit

Goodbye friend, stay safe and don't you dare go hollow!

Submit

Having never really explored his quest line at all, what would happen if you don't reveal what you know - does he stay at Firelink Shrine or go down to Blighttown anyway?

Submit

I'm curious cause I've never done it, but what if you do tell him that you find his pyromancy "unsavory" or whatever? Does he just end the conversation or will he refuse to train you from then on?

Submit

I wonder why he goes hollow at all, really. In the wikidot wiki it states that an undead normally goes hollow when they no longer have a purpose or mission of some sort, which is why your character never fully hollows. It also uses this to explain why andre has been around for so lingx saying hes clung to his craft as a smith. But this guy went hollow from searching for something, and trying to increase his prowess with pyromancies, why would that cause him to go hollow? Logan also goes hollow, presumably also from searching for power. Why? Andre has done a simillar thing in requesting embers from the player, yet he doesnt go hollow. Perhaps its obsession that caused them to go hollow, but wouldnt it be safe to say andre is obsessed with smithing and getting more embers...? Doesnt add up to me.

Submit

ezio

Submit

"If you agree to reveal him what you know the next time you come back to Firelink Shrine, he will be gone." That includes quitting the game and loading it with the player character in Firelink Shrine.

Submit

Don't you dare go hollow.

Submit

I skipped the butchers completely because they were too difficult for me lmfao, i went straight to the sewers and missed the pyro flame

Submit

Where to buy Iron Flesh if I tell him about Quelana ?

Submit

Okay, so i freed Laurentius from his barrel, didint actually speak to him and kept going along my way until i got to Anor Londo. Decided i wanted some pyromancy, so i go to firelink shrine and hes not there, went back to where i first found him in the barrel and hes not there either. Any idea where hes at now? I never spoke to him to send him to firelink shrine nor did i have the conversation about pyromancy with him to send him to blighttown and i cant seem to find anything online about it. Just wondering were my fire-boy is at.

Submit

I though if i hadn't gone to Blighttown i could have answered "Yes" to his question, which he asked me about the pyromancy flame that i got in the first playthrough. Unfortunately he still left.

Submit

DOH now i gotta go to blight town swamp to upgrade my flame :(

Submit

When I told him about the chaos pyromancy, I thought it would be all well and good, but I was genuinely sad when he left. There was just something amazing about him, and I don't think I have the heart to go and kill him

Submit

if you talk to him enough he'll explain the pyromancy flame, but will apologize if you start as a pyromancer because "you already know this"

Submit

Can confirm that he is hollow when you send him to search for the new pyromancy

Submit

Where else can I upgrade the pyromancy flame if he's dead?

Submit

Crestfallen - pretentious @sshole
Petrus - faithless sack of sh!t
Griggs - d!ckless wanker

After Lautrec leaves Firelink Shrine the only half-decent NPC there is Laurentius. I thought I'd be doing him a favour by telling him of Quelana. This game is woeful asf.
