Old King Soul is a consumable item in Dark Souls 2.
Usage
- Can be used to gain 75,000 souls
- Traded with Straid of Olaphis with 10,000 souls for the Blinding Bolt Miracle.
- Traded with Weaponsmith Ornifex with 10,000 souls for the Dragonslayer Greatbow.
Location
- Dropped by killing the Old Iron King on NG+ (or using Bonfire Ascetic to make world NG+)
Notes
- Although this soul would technically align to that of the 4 Kings in Dark Souls, it is also 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 more towards Gwyn.
AnonymousDefinitely 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
Gwyn gifted part of his soul to the four kings, so makes sense that this relates to him
