Lore & Background

Frampt is one of the two primordial serpents encountered in Dark Souls. After the player character rings the Bells of Awakening, Frampt emerges from the Firelink Shrine and directs them to travel to Anor Londo to obtain the Lordvessel. There, Gwynevere instructs them to succeed Gwyn by collecting the Lord Souls needed to rekindle the First Flame. Frampt's guidance supports the continuation of the Age of Fire. The player character may also encounter Darkstalker Kaathe, who urges them to let the flame die out and bring about the Age of Dark. After collecting the Lord Souls, the player character enters the Kiln of the First Flame and defeats Gwyn. They then either link the flame, preserving the Age of Fire, or leave it to fade, beginning the Age of Dark.

Reader's Guide

Kingseeker Frampt appears at Firelink Shrine after the player rings both Bells of Awakening. He provides guidance on the main quest: reach Anor Londo and obtain the Lordvessel. After obtaining the Lordvessel, Frampt can be used to offer certain items for souls. He also explains the need to collect the Lord Souls from the four great lords to open the path to the Kiln of the First Flame. If the player instead follows Darkstalker Kaathe's path, Frampt will leave Firelink Shrine. The final choice—linking the flame or letting it fade—determines the ending.
