D, Beholder of Death

D, Beholder of Death is an NPC in Elden Ring.

He is also possible to summon as a co-operator for the Valiant Gargoyles boss.

Background[]

Devin, more commonly known as "D", is the twin-brother of Darian, who is also known as D. The two twins had separate minds and bodies, but shared a single soul. For this, they were reviled as accursed beings, but found solace in the Golden Order, which accepted them both.

Travelling deep below ground, to the very roots of the Erdtree, Devin came face to face with the Prince of Death himself. The encounter appears to have nearly shattered Devin's mind, as he came to dwell in the Siofra Aqueduct, barely able to speak.

When Devin's twin was murdered by Fia, a servant of the Prince of Death, a Tarnished champion delivered Darian's armor to Devin. Seemingly acknowledging that Darian had died, but still barely able to speak, Devin gathered himself, and if requested, helps the Tarnished champion clear the way to the Deeproot Depths.

After Fia is given the other half of the Cursemark of Death, allowing her to lay with the Prince of Death in order to produce a Rune of Death, Devin will finally find her, and kill her. The Tarnished champion can find Devin gloating and taunting the Prince of Death, cursing him and the murdered Fia. Having avenged his brother, Devin declares he has no more regrets and prays for the honeyed rays of gold to deliver his spirit, so that he may once again look his brother in the eye.

  - (Optional) He is available as a summon for the Valiant Gargoyles duo boss after being given the Twinned Set and reloading the area.
- If D, Beholder of Death, was given a Twinned Set that was obtained by directly killing D, Hunter of the Dead, then he will be hostile the next time the area is loaded. He will drop both the Twinned Set and the Inseparable Sword upon death, immediately ending his questline right there.

Ah, aah...
D-da...ri...
Ngh...nnngh...
At Prince of Death's Throne
Ha! Prince of Death, take a good long look!
See the wrath of the Golden Order! The Order's justice, writ in blood!
This is what's become of your precious witch! Naught but expired meat and bone!
This is a proper death, O Prince!
Look at this rotten whore. No more children can be got from this useless flesh!
Behold, your mother is dead!
Heh heh heh heh...
This is revenge, you witch! And you, you ghoul! This is the wrath of D!
If talked to
Ah. Hello.
The rotten witch is dead. The Golden Order, unsullied.
Now I can look my brother Darian in the eye.
Honeyed rays of gold, deliver my spirit.
If talked to again
Darian, now I have no regrets.
Honeyed rays of gold, deliver my spirit.
If attacked
Oof!
What's the meaning of this?
Has she bewitched you?
If attacked
Very well.
Then you are a blight.
A defiler of the Golden Order, and murderer of my brother!
Die! Die! Die!
I'll grind your corpse into that vile wench's rotting remains.
A witch's eternal embrace, just as you wished!
If the player dies
You defiled cretin. My brother is now avenged!
Death
How could this...
Forgive me, Darian... D-Darian...
