He tells us to make our bed and find a good place to rest.
Once we confirm that we are Ash, Gael will take us into the Painted World of Ariandel through a rotted scrap of the painting.Īt the very first bonfire, we’ll find a Corvian sitting at the corner. The other woman, as we’ll later find out, refers to Sister Friede. Gael is praying for fire for Ariandel, and when he sees you, he notes that you have the same scent as another woman, and he concludes that you are Ash. Our story begins when the Ashen One arrives at the Cleansing Chapel in the Cathedral of the Deep, where he (or she) encounters Slave knight Gael. While most of the story has been pieced together from item descriptions discovered in the DLC, there are still a lot of mysteries left unsolved in the story, meaning that some of the conclusions we have drawn here may be proven inaccurate later on down the line.
