Tips
  • During the fight against Darriwil, let Blaidd tank most of the damage while you focus on backstabs or ripostes.
  • The fifth meeting with Blaidd at Forlorn Hound Evergaol is optional but provides crucial story context.
  • Blaidd attacks with great speed despite his size, and his weapon skill, Wolf's Assault, deals significant Frost damage.
  • Upon defeating Darriwil, Blaidd rewards you with a Sombering Smithing Stone [2].
  • After defeating Blaidd at Ranni's Rise, he drops the Royal Greatsword and his Armor Set (excluding the helm). The Black Wolf Mask can be found behind Ranni's Rise, up a climbable wall to the right of the tower entrance.
