The Lost Sinner is a Boss in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). The captive within the confines of Sinners' Rise, The Lost Sinner, perpetually inflicts punishment upon herself as atonement for the transgressions of her history. Her ultimate sin, attempting to reignite the First Flame, is considered by some as the gravest of sins. Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that drop Boss Souls capable of being transformed into powerful Weapons, Spells, and Items for the player.
Lost Sinner Information in Dark Souls 2
She is located deep after the Lost Bastille and into Sinners' Rise, in a dark cell that you may illuminate if you have obtained the Bastille Key from the Belfry Gargoyles or the corpse at the edge of the broken bridge if you are playing the SotFS edition.
- Prisoner of Sinners' Rise, the Lost Sinner eternally punishes herself for the sins of her past. Indeed, she committed what some would believe to be the ultimate sin - she attempted to relight the First Flame.
- The Lost Sinner possesses the Soul of a Great One; she holds the remnants of the Soul of the Old Witch of Izalith. Eons have passed since the legendary Witch walked the land, but such was her power that it persists even now.
Dark Souls 2 Lost Sinner Lore
This is lore speculation by user: "arbitoruchiha".
The Lost Sinner is a fragment of the Witch of Izalith (insect size is small). This is clear as she was known to have attempted to recreate the first flame. This can also be heard when you have a conversation with Sweet Shalquoir after opening the Shrine of Winter. Although just a speculation it is possible that The Lost Sinner you are fighting with is just a host. This is due to the insect that looks like the Bed of Chaos entering her eye during the cinematic, only after it enters does she stand up to fight.
The Lost Sinner has been punishing herself in the bastille. It is possible she was punishing herself there before the town was converted to bastilles and prisons prior to the curse's arrival. This means the boss room is the oldest part of the former city. She must've built the Sinners' Rise herself to punish herself. (This may open an argument that she is not the witch of Izalith but another witch got imprisoned due to trying to relight the first flame and the chaos bug was simply the result of this, this is due to the fact that the bug from dark souls might have been simply a byproduct [please read theory 2]). Her attire is built in such away that it restrains her (possibly the boss is not at her full strength when fighting you as she is in pain from her own armor).
Theory 2
The Lost Sinner was a witch during the Iron King's time that tried to relight the First Flame and the result was lava and demons being born and a chaos insect just like dark souls where there was lava and demons after the attempt to relight the First Flame. As a result her guilt of killing thousands of people caused her to regret and torture herself. She might've even loved the Iron King but her mistake caused him to be a mindless demon. She tried to impress her king but this killed him. It is possible that the Lost Sinner was a Queen this as a result caused Queen Mytha to try as hard as possible to impress the King out of jealousy to the point of poisoning herself to beautify herself.
Theory 3 (Spoilers for the Ivory King DLC)
It is likely that the Lost sinner was a priestess of Eleum Loyce, given that she is missing an eye (see Eye Of the Priestess). The link between the Old Chaos and the Flame of Chaos from DS1 is fairly obvious. We can speculate that the Lost Sinner tried to rekindle the first flame the same way the Witch of Izalith did, and thus recreated or freed the Flame of Chaos, and therefore started the chain of events we learn in the Ivory King DLC. This is most likely the "sin" for which she punishes herself.
Furthermore, the fact that we can see the "Chaos Bug" crawling into the empty eye socket before the fight, and the fact that she drops the Old Witch Soul, reinforce the symmetry between her and the Witch of Izalith, and reinforce the idea that the Lost Sinner created the "Old Chaos" in Eleum Loyce the same way the witch of Izlaith created the flame of Chaos in DS1.
(Please note all the above is just a theory and might not be the actual lore)

NPC Summons
Lucatiel of Mirrah can be summoned for this encounter, provided the player exhausts her dialogue at the Tower Apart. Her summon sign is located at the bottom of the chain lift that takes the player down from the Saltfort.
In the SotFS Edition, Sellsword Luet can be summoned for this encounter. His summon sign is inside a cell just at the side of one of the exploding mummies.
Strategy
You should first kill the Belfry Gargoyle and proceed past them to a bonfire and a ladder that gives you the Bastille Key. Bring a torch and use the key to open the cells before the mist, and light the oil tracks on each side. This will lighten up the room and allow you to lock on. A video of this is provided below. ALTERNATE OPTION: The sorcery spell Cast Light can also be used if you want to attempt her before the Belfry; it will light up the room enough to get locked on from a decent range, and it will remain on if you cast the spell just before the fog wall into her area.
Stick close to her body, constantly circling her. Wait for her to do a lunging thrust and after you should have time to get a hit or two in. Repeat. Take your time. Stamina management is key if you're using heavy weapons such as greatswords. If you're in a position where she is open to attack but you're low on stamina due to dodging a few of her attacks, you should just let it pass and wait for a new window. Always make sure to attack when you know your swing won't deplete your stamina completely so you can't dodge her follow-up. A shield with 100 physical reduction, such as the Drangleic Shield, can prove extremely helpful.
Co-op
The boss fight can be much easier if one person (either the host or phantom) has a Redeye Ring and a Drangleic shield (If you have the Gyrm Shield or Havel's Greatshield, this works great against the pyromancers in NG+ as well). The objective is to have whoever has the redeye ring to distract the boss, while the other kills the boss. This can work with NG+, the pyromancers have to be killed by the summoner. But as long as the bait has a shield up at all times, keeping their stamina up, the boss fight should be significantly easier.
Melee (no shield):
The Lost Sinner is a tricky and dangerous boss; her attacks have large swing arcs and the tracking on her thrust attack make things difficult too. The lock-on tends to not follow her fast enough and the boss sometimes retreats to walls causing the camera to act dodgy. Dodging the Lost Sinner is manageable, however, hitting her is difficult. She has few openings: After the third attack of a string (overheard and stab finishers), and side attack+overhead. The previous two attacks should be baited by staying in medium range; contriving the AI is the key to getting hit without miscalculated risks and whiffing attacks. Attacking her after one attack or the stab attack might give the player a hit or the punish will whiff, resulting in a dangerous position where the player has to roll after an attack—rolling too early in this fight should be avoided.
That aside, healing is a similar case too—heal after the overhead smash and prepare to roll if you were in medium range.
Melee (NG+):
The Lost Sinner in NG+ is identical to the first playthrough; highly aggressive and large hitboxes with hard-to-judge attacks (it is highly recommended to light the torches outside this fight with the Bastille Key), only this time, after a certain amount of her health has been taken off (roughly 1/3 - 1/2), two black-phantom pyromancers equipped with Great Fireball, Fire Orb, Flame Swathe, Lingering Flame and Forbidden Sun accompany her. With Lucatiel to help out in this fight, and it is vital that you have her summoned, it can be made quite easy; simply equip the Red Eye Ring, bought from Sweet Shalquior in Majula, and the Lost Sinner will spend the entire fight focused on you. The two pyromancers will most likely be provoked to attack you as well, but from a distance, and as long as they are kept at bay (with a 100% physical shield and high fire DEF—Gyrm Greatshield suggested), Lucatiel will handle the pyromancers with high damage, as she does not affect the Sinner greatly, and the Sinner will remain attacking you, leaving Lucatiel available to help with the singular fight against the sinner with a moderate/high amount of health, and will still be focused on you. Use any large swing opening from the Sinner to heal, and ensure that you manage your endurance well, circling and only putting the guard up when necessary. Rolling is also, like in the first playthrough, vital.
Melee (Drakewing Ultra Greatsword):
The Lost Sinner can be easily staggered and damaged with the use of Drakewing Ultra Greatsword buffed with Dark Pine Resin. Make sure the torches in the room have been lit, and once she has swung for one to two times, land the two-handed strong attack at melee, this will both stagger her and deal a high amount of damage to her (approximately 900-1,500), remember to dodge her attacks by rolling to the right instead of blocking.
Pyro-tank: This is a NG+ strategy that mostly revolves around being able to ignore the pyromancers. You want to max out your fire resistance by using the Hexer's set, which has the highest fire res in game, a Flame Quartz Ring (preferably +3), the Dispelling Ring, Great Magic Barrier, and (if possible) the Ring Of Giants+2. This setup should allow that you ignore the pyromancers entirely and just keep your attention on the sinner. Beware though not dodging the spells can leave you blind at moments as the explosions from the fire balls will likely block your vision. The lighting of the room may or may not be necessary as melee users will find themselves able to keep a lock on the sinner at most times but ranged might have more trouble without it. (If there are any issues with this strategy contact the user "ChildrenOfDark" and it will be adjusted accordingly)
Attacks to be wary of:
- Stab: Large hitbox, good tracking of the player--don't roll early.
- Jump: Two attacks, either an attack that is followed by a string, or an empty jump followed by a stab. Generally, MOVE AWAY. You can punish the attack if she doesn't initiate the follow up.
- Critical: If you place your back to her, she will be able to back stab you for a large amount of damage. The same applies if she guard breaks you.
- Fast sideways slash canceled by a dodge: This attack is tricky, and will mostly be used against the player after punishing her attacks. The attack can whiff if you stay to the right and strafe that way.

The Lost Sinner
Hints
- The room where you fight the Lost Sinner can be lit up, causing the the boss to slow down. To light the room, you must first acquire the Bastille Key. In the original version it can be obtained after defeating the Belfry Gargoyles, but in the Scholar of the First Sin edition you can easily find it at the edge of the broken bridge after the Servant's Quarter bonfire. After getting the key, the two doors on either side of the entrance to the Lost Sinner can be unlocked, allowing the player to light up the oil and light the room.
- It is possible to use Lucatiel of Mirrah to help with this fight, although she doesn't provide much damage to the boss. She is useful mainly as a distraction. Clear the watery path to boss first by killing the Water Giants and Exploding Mummies. Open the gate, then head back to the chain lift and touch her summon sign while human. With her summoned, run straight to the boss fog gate. She will enter shortly after you do and proceed to help with the battle.
- It is also possible to summon Sellsword Luet as a Phantom from the final cell on the right hand upper floor before approaching the boss room. Since he only caries two shields, he doesn't do much damage, but he is still useful for drawing the bosses attention, though because still attempts to attack the boss with his shields, he often get hit so he won't last that long. (Scholar of the First Sin only)
- In New Game +, two Prisoned Sinners (red phantom pyromancers) appear in the room when the Lost Sinner drops to around 60% health.
- This occurs in NG+ however the pyromancers do not appear with the use of a Bonfire Ascetic in NG (SotFS: This does not apply, they appear in NG+.)
- The phantoms have a small amount of health so they can be killed fast with a strong attack.
- In New Game + Try to get Lucatiel to have all of the Lost Sinner's Aggro before attempting to kill the pyromancers
- It is possible to parry The Lost Sinner, however the stun window is miniscule and she will more than likely recover faster or as fast as you do.

Iv been playing the of version (1.00) can confirm that the pyromancers show up on the base version, iv tried summoning mask lady , nd using redeye ring, the problem is that the pyromancers are quite strong, I do nearly 400 a hit and it 5akes 5 hits to kill one , they can kill mask lady really easy, sometimes before they summon she'll attack the wall where they spawn, as will lost sinner if you die b4 they show up nd she will attack them after you die which is odd, also usaly I find this an easy fight , but ATM I hate this ****, I can't summon mask lady as I'm out of effigies, mask lady also does fk all to lost sinner and is always getting in the way, like why she got a shield, she don't use it lol, I haven't lit up the area , because I normally don't I'm going to have to try this , but I'm doing a nb run and the running distance to belfry etc will be bs, I should of just gone the way I normally go, Heide tower, huntsman's camp, skeleton lords, harvest valley, I'd have a branch of yore by now, also fk all you playing sotfs , you can buy a branch from the hag , now that's straight bs

beat her at sl1 in ng+
the only strat that works is gowers ring + brightbug
two handed raw homunculus mace +10 + resin to deal ~500 damage with light attack, heavy is garbage
wore brass knuckle and used repair powders when I felt necessary, was probably a bad strat as the 3rd dragon ring would be more useful but I was too paranoid that gowers will break as that is very likely a death sentence
took 5 brightbugs to kill her but my first brightbug attempt she survived with a sliver of hp so small it was literally a few pixels (on my 4k monitor)
overall the toughest f*cking fight of all time
I would not have beaten her without bugs and gowers, not even close, I know beacause I tried like 300 times before resorting to bugs
meanwhile all the other boss souls I did in ng+ in half a dozen tries at most
the pyromancers are a big deal because if you focus on her they will stagger you into her attacks and combo you to death
if you focus on them they'll keep dodging and she'll hit you from offscreen so always keep both phantoms and her on screen and keep track of what they're doing
now excuse me as I go and have a mental breakdown after this

I saw her parry player's attacks (by raising her sword up to her face) on youtube many times
but I never saw her do that in my game (after fighting her for like 30 hours by now) does she not do it in certain versions of the game? is it because Im 2handing my weapons?
- Anonymous
note: I had the red phantoms spawn when the lost sinner was closer to 80% hp
and I once got her down to around 40% hp without them spawning
it doesn't seem to be tied directly to her health at all, or at least not solely to it.
additionally I'd like to add that by far the most dangerous thing the pyromancers do is flood your screen with obnoxious fire effects that make it impossible to see the actual boss and they can combo you to death by staggering you into lost sinner's attacks, but on their own they deal only minor chip damage and die in 1-2 hits - annoying more than challenging

The boss itself is easier than the Flexile Sentry and those stupid mummies. I don't really like this boss, but I guess she is ok... She has few attacks but every one of them hits like a truck which makes her a very challenging boss in NG and NG+ (these pyromancers are boring but at least they die quickly).

She was probably the priestess of Eleum Loyce responsible for unleashing chaos in the kingdom.
Also she has an empty eye socket where the "Eye of the Pristess" item could have been once.

Easier than the Ruin Sentinel boss by miles, imo. Only death I have against this boss in 10+ runs happened in the original version where the key to turn on the lights was harder to get. If you summon Lucietel, which you should, it is quite easy, even with the pyros dropping into the fight in NG+.

For all of you wondering, yes the Lost Sinner is indeed a she; however, the actual Lost Sinner isn't the body bashing faces in with a great sword, but rather the chaos bug that seems to have possessed that body. That chaos bug may be a remnant of the Witch of Izalith given the Lost Sinner's apparent attempt to re-light the first flame. My main headcanon for ds2 is that the game takes place in an age of dark/man and the old follower's of Gwyn are trying to undo it. This is why I think the Giants (known followers of Gwyn) waged war on Drangleic. This is also probably why Izalith took a strong host, to get to the Kiln and relight the flame, thus bringing about a new age of fire.

i love this boss, she is so cool i've beaten her in 6º attenpt
I believe that she is a creature that one day made a sin against the king, with that she was imprisoned in the bastille by the pursuer, entity that hunts those who threaten drangleic, and she was imprisoned for this and with her the soul of the Witch of Izalith.
that's why the monsters attack you they want to stop you from reaching it

"She" clearly has a beard and a masculine build. Concept art reveals it was never meant to be a woman. Probably wasn't a mistranslation like the butchers in DS1 so someone must have just tacked it on to fit better with representing the witch of izalith.

Pretty easy fight with both Luet and Lucatiel summoned. This is one of the riskier fights for Lucatiel if you're doing her quest. Sinner has big sweeping attacks so it doesn't really matter who she targets. She tends to hit everybody around her equally. If Lucatiel dies, just use a homeward bone and try again. Alternatively you can let the boss kill you and then you'll be able to re-attempt.

A popular theory also sais that she is actually a man, a wizard, clearly having a beard under the mask. An italian youtuber identified him as Eygil, the iron king sorcerer, that punished himself to set fire to the iron castle. In this case he inherited the witch of Izalith soul, being partially transformed

How the ***** do you do this fight on NG+ as a caster? The phantoms roll-dodge your spells and you just can't dodge such an aggressive boss *and* the stagger-inducing blinding fire attacks from the phantoms all at the same time. The boss alone is bad enough as a squishy caster. but I have no clue how this is supposed to be possible with the phantoms added.
This fight on NG+ becomes significantly harder due to the phantoms. It is difficult to find a window large enough to deal with the phantoms with the Sinner always closing in on you so rapidly. Fast weapons seem to be ideal for this fight as the phantoms have very low hp (even with champ cov) and you can potentially one-shot them with the right setup. I was power-stancing rapiers, where L1 was capable of one-shotting them providing the spacing was good. Once you get the phantoms down the fight is pretty much in the bag.

She is a woman with what appears to be a beard..perhaps she is a Grym. They seem rather dwarf like, and female dwarves are traditionally said to appear the same as the men. Most notably mentioned in Lord of the Rings.

They sure did a good job getting me killed because of being surprised by the phantom pyromancers. It's easy once I'm prepared: put on the hexer set, fire resist ring and ate the red fruit and pyromancers were dealing absolutely no damage to me. Still a pain in the ass due to all the stagger and explosions blocking my sight. They had like 1000 HP each, so maybe it's a good idea to shoot them between Sinner's attacks.

Went in first try, lit the two lamps, popped an Effigy and grabbed the two phantoms on the run up, then proceeded to nuke her silly. Ended up getting dinged up by her wide moves, but with the phantoms taking her aggro away at every turn healing wasn't a problem. Hits fairly hard, but it's nothing more than a big mob with a fancy moveset.
This was the absolute easiest boss till now for me, killed on first try with minimal damage taken, pure DEX build. Guides are betraying me with DSII, whenever they say a boss is hard, it's easy, whenever they say it's easy, it's hard, no idea what's up with that

Went in blind, didn't look up tactics but took a note of the hint on lighting the room up; fought the lady without a shield using light armor and 2handing a falchion, won her on probably around attempt 8 or so. Not a hard fight per se, her swing timers are just super annoying because I am used to rolling on reflex so I wiped a few times in the beginning because I rolled too early (the hitboxes are a bit annoying too but manageable). Once I got her timing down it wasn't really that bad, she barely hit me like few times on the kill attempt, I just kept dodging and getting 1-2 strikes in every chance I got. PS. Scholar of the first sin, if that makes any difference. PPS. Knight Artorias in DS1 without a shield also using light armor and 2handing a side sword was much harder. Much faster and much more unpredictable.

Here's my experience- Hardest part was clearing the way, I've ended up resetting it about 11-12 times until the trash disappeared (except the Flexile Sentry).- You can bait the big Undead Aberrations to fall into the elevator pit (if you send the elevator back up once you're down) for easy souls and a chance at Chaos Rapier/Shield- Beware of the two exploding guys at the stairs (an additional red one on NG+)- Once only the Flexile Sentry is left, summon Lucatiel and run on the right side thru the hole in the wall till you get to Luet and ignore the Sentry- Make sure you light the fires, the two red guards wont attack if you dont get too close- PS4 SOTFS Redeye Ring didn't seem to get him off Lucatiel too much, actually got a bit in the way since the NPCs do weak damage against the Sinner- Upgraded Drangleic sword to +3, you need your best damage weapon- Lucatiel takes a lot of damage, so is Luet- You need to dish out as much damage as possible before Lucatiel and Luet die so you got some distraction during the adds phase- Focus on the adds asap, Luet has the Redeye Ring and seems to hold aggro pretty well- Most likely you will end up with soloing the Sinner at around 50-40% after the adds are dead- BE PATIENT, use a shield (Drangleic in my case), block a few hits, dodge a few and just hit ONCE when you're sure there's a window (my +3 Drangleic sword does 169 damage per normal attack)- Never run out of stamina, at my SL he would 1 shot me if i couldn't block so make sure you hit him only once, don't get greedy- On some attacks i got staggered due to low stamina, roll out of the way asap in that case, normally he wont do a quick attack after a heavy- Enjoy your fire weapon
I used a bonfire ascetic on Sinner's Rise to make it level 2, and the pyromancers did spawn. Also I was playing SOTFS.
I fought the Lost Sinner using a Lightning Heide Spear +9, which seemed to work well enough, but my Lightning Spear miracles were doing negligible damage... 50 to 80 per cast or thereabouts. Anyone else have a similar experience?
When I faced her, I blocked most of her attacks and this was the shield I used. I did not reinforce it. I did not enchant it. It was just a normal shield but it took the hits and kept on trucking. I also floated like a butterfly and stung like a scorpion with my Heide Knight Sword.
