1. Location
Found deeper in the Prisoners' Domain, beyond the Executioner's Pulpit Beacon. It's the third major encounter in the recommended progression.
2. Rewards
- Captive's Scabstone ×1
- Gloom (roughly 12,600 — confirm in-game)
3. How to Beat It
- Watch your spacing — the tighter arena punishes over-committing
- Harden mid-combo — absorb a hit, then continue your offense
- Dodge red attacks — unblockable; roll through them
- Parry for Break damage — Riposte when its gauge fills
💡 Check for a Resolve Branch: Some boss arenas have a Resolve Branch nearby — hit it before entering to start the fight with a full Resolve bar.
🎯 Bottom line: The Nameless Captive tests positioning and timing in a tighter space — don't over-commit, and use Harden to trade safely.
