Aldrich, Devourer of Gods – Dark Souls 3
I’m less put off by what Aldrich, Devourer of Gods looks like—though he is disgusting, a mass of flesh and skeletons trailing his body like a grotesque shadow—than by what he represents. He swims in a pile of his own swirling waste and excess, the lowest of the low, eating whatever and whoever he wants and letting the remains rot around him. In eating them, he grows from his victims’ power like a parasite, or perhaps like a coward. When I realized this, avoiding attacks from the slumped-over body of Gwyndolin, the once-noble god Aldrich ate and uses to deliver powerful magic during his fight, became easy. Step into his mud and destroy it. Kill it with fire if you have to. – Ashley Bardhan
