The Forlorn are supporting antagonists in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. They are a race of invading dark spirits determined to kill the player to steal their souls and claim their world.
Biography[]
The Forlorn are creations of Lord Aldia, born from his infatuation with the First Sin. The Forlorn lost not only their corporeal form but a world for them to call their home. They drift through other worlds in search of a new home.
Throughout the Bearer of the Curse's journey through the kingdom of Drangleic, the Forlorn invade them across the regions to steal their world for themselves. They commonly come equipped with greatswords, while stronger Forlorn come with scythes capable of penetrating shields. With only a few exceptions, the Forlorn are able to invade the player in any area in the game. In Aldia's Keep, the Forlorn instead appear when the player lights four torches in the area.
