BONUS COMMENT LORE: Crepus's Vial states that "there was a time Tarnished who had strayed from guidance feared nothing more than utter silence". The wording "there was a time" suggests that Tarnished no longer fear utter silence, or the confessors. Why is that? I think it's because Crepus, the Head Confessor, is no longer around. His crossbow and black bolts are found locked away in Roundtable Hold, perhaps suggesting that the Hold brought him to justice long ago. Furthermore, there's a confessor NPC in the game called Rileigh the Idle - the word "idle" suggesting that they are no longer active in hunting down other Tarnished.

I thought he was the Idle because he never made a move on the Shaded Castle - only ever watching it from afar; staying by the only exit in the valley. Then there’s the random two giants who got freed, slightly before as well as a random ghoul horseman. It doesn’t add up to me.

It’s funny you make this video, I’m doing a confessor class run. Where his origin is that after losing grace he was a fake salesman/preacher who secretly fooled the followers into giving him stuff until he was killed by someone from the golden order. Due to his skill he came back to seek revenge of the golden order since he was seemingly an avid supporter unlike his brethren. Wielding weapons that were rare(late game weapons), he seeps deeper into madness but his main goal was to be the person over the golden order to make the world in his own image. So I’m stuck if he should go mad with frenzy flame or get the perfect golden order ending. He’s equipped with frenzy flame incarnations and golden order incantations only along with golden order weapons and that one vyke frenzy spear

Huh, now it makes sense why the volcano manor sends you to kill rileigh. the confessors hunt down those who stray from the golden order's guidance, and the volcano manor antagonizes the golden order as much as possible. I wonder if that's why bernharl became a recusant. His brother was hunted down just because he lost the guidance of grace, and swore revenge against the golden order. Edit. Seems like bernharl sought destined death to culminate his revenge against the golden order by releasing the rune of death. That's why we find him in farum azula.

Bernharl renounced his faith after he watch his maiden and companion sacrified herself at the giant's forge for nothing, as her death never rekindled the fire. The Blasphemous Claw he acquired was taken from Rykard after the Volcano Manor disbanded. It was created as Ranni's contingency for in case Maliketh found out who stole the fragments of the Rune of Death, she gave it to Rykard so he could hopefully stand a chance against the Black Blade.

Yeah, both items descriptions talk about "church assassins" that hunt the enemies of the two fingers in the dark, using spells that mute the sound of their footsteps and conceal their presence like "assassin's approach" and "darkness". Also such items as twin blade talisman says that their favourite weapons are twinblades and that they keep the techniques of wielding it in secret. It would honestly make more sense if we started the game with twinblade as confessor.

It's telling to note that the assassin's prayerbook is also looked down upon by Corwyn or whatever his name is too, despite being a TWO FINGERS prayerbook. He calls it as well as the primary two fingers lord book "heresy", despite it falling well within the boundaries of what the golden order is willing to do for a new lord, which, knowing how hypocritical he is and how early you get the book most of the time is a good heads-up.

This is timely. I just got a PS5, Elden Ring and finished 100%'ing every Dark Souls a while back, so you know my build was going to be a faith/dex confessor. Currently running Flail, Sacred Falchion secondary, Misericorde third on RH. LH is the finger talisman, the Black Key Xbow and Cipher Pata. Outside of one unspeakable moment in Caelid, Ive absolutely been crushing the game. Beating most cave bosses first go exclusively with the Flail and generally suffering very little. Which is nice, because I thought a blind 1st playthrough was going to be much worse.
