Paladin Leeroy is an NPC Phantom in Dark Souls
Paladin Leeroy Information
Paladin Leeroy is a computer controlled NPC that can be found in the Catacombs and in Tomb of the Giants. He resembles Garl Vinland from Demon's Souls and wears heavy armor and a weapon that looks like Bramd from Demon's Souls.
It's should be noted that the Helm of Paladin Leeroy carry an uncanny likeliness with those of Drangleic soldier. This added to the fact that it's said, in item description that leeroy "set out for Lordran" implying he wasn't here in the first place, possibly make a link beetween him and the realm of Drangleic. If this theory is true, it would also imply that the first Way of White undead come from Drangleic.
Summoning
Leeroy can be summoned before the fight with Pinwheel in The Catacombs. First make sure you are human. His sign is way at the bottom where the Wheel Skeletons are. It's the same piece of land you have to jump down onto (from the canyon you get to after climbing up and going through the hallway where the Titanite Demon is) to get an item. His sign is on there near the item.
Paladin Leeroy Invasion
While you are in human-form, run from the last bonfire of the level towards the end where the yellow fog door was before acquiring the lordvessel that leads to Nito. You will see a large foggy chasm (Possibly Ash Lake) to your left and a narrow ridge to run down on the right side. A cave entrance will be on your right that the yellow fog covered. Walk past said cave and Leeroy will spawn at the very end of the path. Leeroy's invasion will happen regardless if he's summoned in the catacombs or not.
Note: If you defeat Gravelord Nito before defeating Leeroy, he will no longer show-up in your current play-through.
Notes
You have to have placed the Lordvessel at the altar and making the Yellowish/Red Fog gates disappear. Otherwise Leeroy will not invade you. Note: Do NOT kill Leeroy by knocking him off the ledge. You may be unable to retrieve his equipment and humanity.
Drops
- 23165 Souls,
- Grant (Brandt-like mace)
- Sanctus Shield (Winning Design of the Japanese "Design a Shield Contest" for Dark Souls)
- 3 Humanity (It is also possible to steal at least 3 extra humanity from him using Dark Hand before you finish him off)
Note: After defeating Leeroy, his armor set, the Paladin set, will be found in Nito's area (if you don't defeat him the set will not appear).

He fell off the cliff and his drops were at the bottom and were gone when I tried reloading. Very cool.
Was playing Dark Souls Remastered on Switch and saw a summon sign for him outside Quelaag's door. Anyone else see this or any other new summon signs?

The dude's a goddamnt retard. He doesn't follow into the catacombs, but rather prefers to squat by pinwheel bossfight. I was gonna abuse his incredible skeleton-killing abilities in order to clear the catacombs earlier than I usually do, but the ****er just wont comply

Drangleic didn't exist during the events of ds1; ds2 takes place "eons" after ds1.

Sometimes he's worthless. He'll jump down among the pinwheels and just put up his shield. He may swing once, or not at all, usually miss. the pinwheels grind him up slowly. He'll heal himself...twice, despite already getting full health from the first. Sometimes he even runs towards the blacksmith, ignoring the wheels, and vanishes.
I killed him before the pinwheels' room and he dropped nothing. I didn't knock him off the ledge. Reloading didn't work for me too...

it should be noted that leeroy beefs up considerably from catacombs summon to TOTG fight, for one he can one-hand his grant (he cant in catacombs) and his spells are signifigantly harder hitting

uh hi people of dark souls, a query, how do i summon this guy for mr 3 head if he invades me near the Nito foggate? just wondering how it works.

I accidentally killed him in my first try. Now i learn that i can't get the aoe hammer and the free healing shield. Why did they make the game with these stupid conditionals.

It's best to lure him into the cave where the crystal lizard is, instead of risk fighting him on the ledge where he spawns.

When he invaded me i used the dragon roar followed by a mlgs r2, i thought he wont fell because he'll either die in one hit or barely survive and i'll only need a quick punch to finish him, turns out the mlgs r2 knocked him SIDEWAYS TO THE VOID, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DIRECTLY FACING ME. Now i cant get his weapon until ng+. Thanks miyazaki

The Way of White is based on Thorolund, and Drangleic probably doesn't even exist during the events of DS1.
Also, DS1 predates DS2, which makes it pretty clear that if there is a conexion between the designs of those helmets mentioned, it's that the drangleic hollow helmets were inspired by Leeroy's, and not that Leeroy came from Drangleic.
Finally, why is there an empty "Build Strategy" section, but no trivia section, where that entire paragraph should be moved to (or deleted).

There’s no way his name is not a reference to Leeroy Jenkins

Pro tip: Don't use the moonlight greatsword heavy attack against him. You will either send him flying off the cliff, or the knock back will clip him through the wall and send him to his death that way. Happened 3 times in a row for me :(

Knock knock open the up the fog it’s real with the holy hunk of iron and the Sanctus shield grants gonna give it to ya ***** waiting on your own grants gonna kill it for ya

It would appear that you are able to acquire the Paladin set without ever actually encounter Leeroy or using his summon sign.

"So, I'm going to bait out the fireball. You come in from the right. Then when he attempts to spanw copies of himself I'll-" "Alright, times up let's do this LEEROOOOOY-"

I actually think his name is a bit of an easter egg as not only is it the same name as the meme legend but he's also a paladin.. as was the class of the memelord in WoW.

The Paladin armor is actually much closer in appearance to the Irithyllians in DS3--the helmet resembles the Boreal Outrider's helm, whereas the rest of the set is imitated by the Pontiff Knights. The Way of White preceded the Age of Fire and was established by Allfather Lloyd, who organized "Undead hunts" to try and stop the spread of Undead across the world. Lloyd's honorary title is denounced by clerics of Carim in DS3, and the Way of White is disbanded, though possibly resurrected by Sulyvahn, who seeks to end the curse by destroying and replacing the gods using the Profaned Flame.

The guy is not invading me, even if I didn't kill Nito yet and placed the Lordvessel. Any ideas?

This character makes no sense at all. What's the story with this guy? What's his purpose, connection to the story and why does he invade to kill you and in that seemingly insignificant location?

i didn't knock him off, he fell off before i could even see him. thanks From Software.

Spoiler: He's from Thorolund like all the other white way'ers. But continue letting Truther destr...writing this wiki.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I just managed to kill Leeroy multiple times. He would invade in his normal location, I knock him down with heavy attack of Zweihander+15 at 40 strength, do another heavy attack before he gets up and he dies, leaving behind his bloodstain with humanity, but not weapons. I then quit to menu and reloaded, and he invaded again, so I did the same. I got about 21k souls and 1 humanity every time, until I waited a couple seconds between my heavy attacks. This time, he died for good and left his weapon and shield on the ground. I'd love if someone could confirm this.

idk if it was just me but he took five years to invade lol.
ran up and down the ridge and then sat near the beginning of said ridge for a while, so if anyone has a similar problem just know maybe hes taking his sweet time lmao
