Oswald of Carim is a Character in Dark Souls
Information
Oswald of Carim is a Character in Dark Souls. He is a grim character who deals in sinners and sin. He will appear at the base of the bell-tower, in Undead Parish, after the Gargoyles are defeated and the bell is rung. He also sells Purging Stones, for half the price of what the female Undead Merchant asks, which are used to cure the player's Curse status. He will also teach the "Well! What is it!" gesture, free of charge.
Location
- At the lower level of Undead Parish's church bell tower.
Services
- Request Absolution costs (500 x current level) total souls. The price paid is for absolution, and not for each sin, so several sins will cost the same as just one.
- When absolving one's sin, it is possible to undo unintended actions, this applies to breaking some of the covenant pledges and attacking NPCs. Aggravated NPCs will go back to their normal selves, and you can for example rejoin the Forest Hunters. So if a player accidentally hits a key NPC, the act can be reverted for a substantial fee. Note that killed NPCs will stay dead.
- After committing a sin, the player's name will be added to the Book of the Guilty, which is a hit-list for the Blades of the Darkmoon Covenant. Request Absolution will remove the player's sin, and thus their name from the book, unless the sin is from a player indictment. Sin obtained from player indictments can not be removed through Absolution.
- Known sins are:
- Some NPCs can be killed sin-free:
All hollowed NPCs.
Abandon Covenant
- Abandons the player's current covenant free of cost and without committing a sin.
- As with abandoning your covenant otherwise, your contributions to the covenant will be halved. (confirmed)

Apparently Oswald was a Black Knight before he found his calling for pardoning sin. These are claims made in the flavor text on an official Souls art book.

He's gotta be really lonely up there, everyone homeward bones outta there, his goods and services are useless and he never moves. why was oswald done so dirty when friggin ingward (whom I had no idea did this until just now) moves to firelink after killing the four bros. i mean you'd never go back to him either and he sucks also

There's a bunch of people in the reply section telling others crap like, "you're too stupid to play this game.. go kys" etc. Guys, ignore those nobodies. They've probably never made any mistake in their life and are too proud and egoistic.

Oswald is the only NPC in dark souls with non sensical movement. Typically most NPCs either stay in their place before they meet the player and never move (like the blacksmiths for example) or they follow a path in their journey that makes sense (solaire and onion guy for example)
Oswald just hides in a bush outside the undead parish, and sprints as fast as he can into the bell tower when he hears the player ringing it.

Me and my bf are first run DS players. He accidentally entered the fog before qwendolyn which turned the fire pit area hostile. We didn't realize that entering the fog would boot us from the group, we were literally in the group for 8 seconds lol. Is there a way to make that firepit (not hostile)? Or are we forced to kill him and lose the pit?

He is the only NPC I refuse to kill (hold for Solaire, unless he's gone hollow) he's just too entertaining and useful

First time I saw him, I thought my game bugged out and he was T-posing

Dunno if something went wrong, but I abandoned Darkmoon via Oswald, and it counted as a sin. Perhaps Darkmoon is a specific instance? Can anyone else confirm this happening?

If I killed daughter of Chaos and then absolve sins will Eingyi be friendly again?

Not sure what was the reason but on YouTube someone got invaded by Solaire as a red phantom after killing centipede demon , apparently they said it was because they had killed Oswald and couldn't absolve their sins ( sin of killing Oswald or other sins , I'm not sure )

On a recent playthrough, I killed Petrus as soon as I met him to save my waifu Reah.To my surprise, when her party arrived at Firelink, they were immediately hostile towards me. I fled and went to Oswald he could help me get back into m'lady's good graces. He charged me lots of souls alright, but her party is still hostile to me. I'd be thankful if anyone could confirm this is not a bug but supposed to happen like this.
best souls character solely because of the laugh
