Old King Soul Notes and Tips in Dark Souls 2
- It is possible that it is the soul of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder. The fact that it can be traded for Blinding Bolt, the description of which mentions the "God of Sun", points towards Gwyn.
AnonymousGwyn gifted part of his soul to the four kings, so makes sense that this relates to him

Definitely think this soul is definitely supposed to be relating to Gwyn, The Old Iron King himself does bear some pretty noticeable similarities to him afterall, Being a supremely powerful yet short-sighted king, being a lord of a keep of iron and fire similar to how Gwyn was the lord of fire and sunlight who did some messed-up things out of fear, only rather than a fear of the Dark like Gwyn it was a fear of the undead, and also meeting an incinerating end just like Gwyn did.
Either that or it's the Four Kings since a big part of the Iron King's downfall was greed like how the Four Kings were consumed by the Abyss
But I feel he bears far more similarities to Gwyn.
Either that or it's the Four Kings
Given the weapon and the spell you can get from this, this is obviously referring to Gwyn.
However, the description of Lord soul shard dropped by the 4 kings says :
"Soul of one of the Four Kings, who fell to the Dark."
So this could refer to that soul as well...
But Gwyn is more likely.

"Old King Soul" not "Old Kings Soul." How the hell would this line up with the four kings at all? This is obviously referring to Gwyn.
What an absurd theory
i skipped this game but just looking for some lore, this soul and the other "lord souls" aren't considered canon right? since it's an NG+ item and obviously just an easter egg/reference to the first game, and wouldn't make sense for them to still exist
