Grave Warden Agdayne

Grave Warden Agdayne is a character and merchant in Dark Souls II.

Lore[]

As a Fenito, Agdayne watches over the Undead Crypt and its deceased to make sure they are properly kept in their rest and not disturbed. He was granted this task by "the one who gave us the first death". He mentions a "king of light" from an age long ago who was afraid humans would create an age of dark. The king he mentions is likely Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.

Plot[]

When approached, Agdayne will tell the player that they may not produce light. Wielding a lit torch or using Cast Light within this room will cause him and his fellow Grave Wardens to attack the player.

After conversing with him, Agdayne will give the player access to his wares, and he will become available as a summon against Velstadt, the Royal Aegis.

Location[]

Found a short distance into the Undead Crypt. Upon entering the room he is in, he will warn the player against producing light.
He can be summoned for the Velstadt, the Royal Aegis boss fight. His summon sign is found on the left side of the large room before Velstadt's chamber.

Meeting Grave Warden Agdayne in the Undead Crypt	I am Agdayne. Guardian of the crypt.
	Countless dead rest here in peace. Cradled by the comfort of dark.
	Light only agitates. We have no need for it here.
Talk again
	I am a Fenito. We weave death, and watch over the dead.
	This task was granted to me by the one who gave us the first death.
	Countless souls rest here. Some of them from ages long ago.
	Some where rich, other poor. Some wise, some dull, but now, they are all just dead.
Talk again	Did you come for him? The one called Vendrick.
	You will find him deeper inside
	Many castle servants and the like have come to fetch their lord.
	But they rest here now, put to death by the King's own guards.
	Perhaps he's not in the mood for company.
Talk again	In the past, humans were one with the dark.
	The former King of Light ... He feared humans. Feared that they would usher in an age of dark.
	How queer, you humans. How you go on, never separating truth from fiction.
Talk again	This place is welcome to all, provided due reverence is shown.
	Death is equitable, accepting. We will all, one day, be welcomed by her embrace.
	Tell me what you desire. Show me reverence, and I will lend you my hand.

Notes[]

He will give the player his personal katana, Darkdrift, and his armor set if spoken to after acquiring the King's Ring.
The three Grave Wardens near him are passive as long as the player does not have an active light source.
- Attacking a Grave Warden will aggro all three of them, but Agdayne himself will not become hostile unless the player attacks him directly or brings a source of light into the room. The Wardens will be passive again once they are respawned.
If the player summons a phantom and the latter enters the room with a torch or uses Cast Light, Agdayne won't attack. However, if the torch-carrying Laborer found near the beginning of the area is led to Agdayne, it will aggravate him.
Absolving sins through Cromwell the Pardoner will make Agdayne passive again, if the player, in any way, provoked Agdayne to attack them.

Trivia[]

Agdayne mentions he was created by the "first of the dead", implying the possibility he and his fellow Fenito were created by Gravelord Nito.
Despite having the Darkdrift as his personal weapon, he doesn't use it when he is summoned, instead using the Crypt Blacksword.
