Dark Priestess Information

A Hollowed Drangleic priestess found in the Dragon Shrine. The reason for her presence there is unclear. Did she journey to the shrine in search of a cure for the Curse, or was she a resident responsible for performing holy rites? As there is no way of knowing this now, it is best simply to put her out of her misery.

Caster who allies with and protects the Drakekeepers. Will continually attack with lightning orbs. Lightning orbs do minimal damage yet they have an area of effect and can knock the player down, causing players to be vulnerable to any Drakekeepers nearby, fairly harmless at early NG but fairly annoying at later NG+ onward, so killing her should be at top priority.

Despite the name, it is simply a Hollow Priest variant wearing Priestess Set, while the wearer is actually a male hollow, both only casts lighting magic and never cast Dark magic.

Merciless Roenna is believed to be a former member of Dark Priestesses modified into an Aldia Warlock, while the other Aldia Warlocks also wear a darker version of Priestess Robe and they're modified into Fenito.
