D, Beholder of Death (real name: Devin) is an NPC in Elden Ring. He can be found in Nokron, Eternal City, east of the Great Waterfall Basin grace. To interact with D, Beholder of Death, you need the Twinned Armor. If given the armor, he will be available as a summon against the Valiant Gargoyle pair. He is the twin brother of Darian, also known as D, Hunter of the Dead.
Ah, aah... D-da...ri... Ngh...nnngh...
D, Beholder of Death Location and Questline in Elden Ring:
D, Beholder of Death can be found at Nokron, Eternal City, east of the Great Waterfall Basin grace, against the railing of the balcony just outside the Valiant Gargoyle boss arena in the Siofra Aqueduct. [Map Link]
Attempting to interact with him awards the player with the Inner Order gesture.
If given the unaltered Twinned Set, he can be summoned to assist with the Valiant Gargoyle and Valiant Gargoyle (Twinblade) in the Siofra Aqueduct, next to where he can initially be found. Reloading the map or observing his summon sign will make him disappear from his initial location.
He can next be found at Fia's location in the Deeproot Depths, if the player has received the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince from her and given him the Twinned Set. After reloading the area he will be found gloating over her corpse, finding her dead. [Map Link]
After interacting with him next to Fia, exhausting his dialogue, and reloading the area again, he will have vanished, leaving the Twinned Set and the Inseparable Sword behind.
If the player has acquired the Twinned Set from Darian, Hunter of the Dead by killing him at his first location and given Devin the Twinned set, he will instead turn hostile upon reloading the area and attack the player. He will drop the Twinned Set and Inseparable Sword if defeated.
- Giving him the armor when Fia is unavailable means you cannot get it back until a certain point in the game progression.
- This NPC moves.
- This NPC can be fought (either at the end of Fia's questline, or at his initial location, if the player killed D in Limgrave).
- If defeated, drops:
Dialogue in Elden Ring: D, Beholder of Death
When spoken to before questline progression
- <sleeping>
After giving Twinned Armor
- "Ah, aah...
D-da...ri...
Ngh...nnngh..."
After giving Twinned Armor and reloading the area, if D was killed by the player at Limgrave
- (Combat) "You will know vengeance for Darian.
The wrath of D..."
Finding him at Fia's body
- "Ha! Prince of Death, take a good long look!
See the wrath of the Golden Order! The Order's justice, writ in blood!
This is what's become of your precious witch! Naught but expired meat and bone!
Look at this rotten w.h.o.r.e. No more children can be got from this useless flesh!
Behold, your mother is dead!
Heh heh heh heh...This is revenge, you witch! And you, you ghoul! This is the wrath of D!"
Talking to him afterwards
- "Ah. Hello.
The rotten witch is dead. The Golden Order, unsullied.
Now I can look my brother Darian in the eye.
Honeyed rays of gold, deliver my spirit." - "Darian, now I have no regrets.
Honeyed rays of gold, deliver my spirit."
When attacked
- (Warning)
"Oof!"
"What's the meaning of this? Has she bewitched you?" - (Combat)
"Very well. Then you are a blight. A defiler of the Golden Order, and murderer of my brother. Die! Die! Die!"
"I'll grind your corpse into that vile wench's rotting remains. A witch's eternal embrace, just as you wished!" - (On player kill)
"You defiled cretin. My brother is now avenged!"
When killed
- "How could this...
Forgive me, Darian... D-Darian..."
Elden Ring D's Twin Brother Notes & Trivia
- A golden barrier is protecting him at his first location if rolling, jumping or attacking (near) him.
- He is first mentioned (unless the player kills his brother in Limgrave) in Rogier's Letter.
- His name is Devin; D mentions his name when apologizing whilst dying if the player kills him at Limgrave.
- If provoked after giving him the armor, D's Brother wields the Inseparable Sword and a sacred seal, which he uses to cast Discus of Light.
- Killing him for his gear is unnecessary: exhausting his dialogue after he kills Fia and reloading the area by resting at the nearby grace will result in him vanishing, with his gear left behind at the spot he was standing.

Wonder if there will be a secret DLC quest if you killed D in Limgrave and then killed his twin brother in the Aqueduct? Since Fia would still be alive maybe we'd be able to meet Godwyn after she resurrects him.

I picked Fia's ending in my first playthrough, it felt like the best course for the people/creatures perpetually living & dying in the ruins of the lands between. Devin killing her didn't really bother me - she murdered his brother, accomplished what she wanted with the rune, he gets revenge. Fair enough lol.

What people don't seem to realize is that neither fia nor D are doing the right thing. While those who live in death are indeed innocent, they're most likely in constant mental torture(if they can think), since their current state goes completely against the erdtree's intended cycle of life, which is what they were taught to be the only true way of life. Forcing everyone to live in death via fia's ending just means forcing everyone to suffer from constant mental torment.

I first saw him near fia, and I wasn’t gonna kill him, because I knew her quest line was over anyways, but I saw she died, and she wasn’t even able to defend herself. hearing him gloat and all, I brutally put him to death. No matter what fia did, he had no honor in that fight.

you can kill him with death blight from fias mist. a very fitting death :)

I’m glad everyone cares more about politics than they do about the game. Cause thats what these threads look like, a bunch of politicians who failed in reality so they come on here telling you which side to choose in this game as if they are running for governor of the lands between.

While D is a cool guy, his gloating twin deserved zero respect, my friends and I all gave him destined death, not to mention he’s weak AF and not even given a boss fight. Loved how the narrative puts into perspective how religious cults like the Golden Order can embolden their fanatic followers to the point of blind hatred against a persecuted group of undead that are the way they are because of the order’s meddling of reality. In Fia’s ending, reality is restored with death introduced, allowing everyone to pass on to the afterlife and no longer become living zombies like the hollowed out wandering nobles. Interestingly, only the tarnished seem sane at this point, while everyone are undead or becoming zombies

is there a differnce between killing the brother after Fia's death after hearing him gloat or just sitting at the grace where the gear is left behind?

Even though neither of them were really doing the right thing, I can respect both D and Fia for at least having the convictions to fight, kill and die for their cause and what they believed was right. On the other hand this dude sleeps in Nokron while his brother is killed, then once he gets his brothers armor he kills a sleeping woman and gloats over her corpse... Idk man I cant really respect that. Which is why I killed him after that.
Basically D is cool, but Ds brother... kind of a crazy loser.

Based character. I killed fia in my first playthrough before fortisax for stabbing my boy D, found out I missed a boss fight, and then in my next play through the chad does it for me.

Absolutely did not expect this guy to go full Alfred in the end of the questline

Regardless of the sins of Darian and Devin, Fia is a genocidal maniac. She hides behind a pitiable guise when the truth is that she wants to force undeath on the entire world. She is not nearly as helpless and she pretends to be. Devin is a creep but killing her was justified.

Couple of things I've noticed:
Firstly:
- If you never talk to D but do the rest of Fia's questline she dies where she was sleeping and you can loot here clothes. There's no blood pooled around her though.
- Giving D his dead brother's drip and then fast traveling to Prince of Death's throne will still have D standing over Fia's corpse with a blood pool.
This adds some validity to the theory that Fia dies birthing the rune and D is just so eager for revenge that he doesn't notice she's already dead when he stabs her.
Secondly:
- If D dies in Limgrave (either by your hand or collateral from the nearby skeletons) D still hunts down and kills Fia over it. Even though it's not her fault he died.
Guy is so mad at a heretic that he'll kill her for something she hasn't done. Peak zealot moment.

not a fia simp but i always kill him at the end of the quest. that's what i did with alfred's quest, which this one is very reminiscent. both clearly lost it and are too far gone, it just makes sense to put them down. it also just feels a little anticlimactic to have him disappear and leave his stuff behind. what they should've done is have him turn on you after his dialogue since you were helping her in the first place

Prince of death destroyed the guy. Fia killed his other half/twin brother. Both sides were extremist. He was probably driven mad in his little slumber, didn't sound fun.. Dang straight he wanted to kill her and stop Godwyn from coming back, you killed my brother. Then he was okay with joining him.. no right side here though. Everyone dying was justified.. Living in death destroyed rogie Fia served a monster of a master. She's no better and also an extremists. Great little storyline

Bro, not people siding with this literal theocratic fundamentalist fascist over a woman who wanted her people liberated. Folks talking about Fia killing Rogier forget that he himself identifies the fact that living within death isn't a sin but a glitch in the system caused by Ranni slaying Godwyn's soul. He even comes back to defend Fia when we reach deeproot depths because he is devoted to seeing the Mending Rune of Death installed in the Elden Ring from before he even dies evidenced by his own musings on the cursemark. D got what was coming to him for being a fantasy nazi and y'all who're siding with his psycho brother in here need therapy. No wonder people **** on our community for being toxic and stupid.

A lot of people here don’t understand that fia murdered D for no reason other than getting the half of the curse mark he was guarding, he had no clue she was affiliated with death until she taunted him with his brothers dagger; Because the tarnished are not undead, and neither is fia, she’s a freak that’s condoning and forcing living in death upon others. Look at rogier for example, he gazes upon a fragment of Godwyn once and loses the ability to walk, and then the ability to even think for himself when he is forced to fight in defense of fia; You really think he just suddenly gained the ability to walk and decided to betray us, a person he considered a friend, without so much as a word? Additionally, D knows rogier is afflicted with death blight, but he only offers pity and his own form of remorse, because the hunters of death don’t hunt tarnished, they hunt those affected by death root; meaning UNTHINKING CREATURES, such as tibia mariners and cemetery shades; which is the fate fia is attempting to force upon the world. And notice that no one BUT fia actually wants this; the undead can’t think, godwyn is a soulless husk of his former self, yeah, the golden order isnt full of saints either, but before the shattering it was a certainly better thing, and with gold mask’s help the order could be greater than it ever was. This is all not even mention that what devin does has nothing to even do with the order; It’s simple revenge on the woman that murdered his brother, aside from the fact that he faced godwyn, we know literally nothing about him, he could’ve been a saintly hero or a demonic hunter, but that has nothing to do with his actions now. But no; “Muh evil order!2!1!1!1!”

If you give him the armor after completing Fia's questline but before fighting the gargoyles (by using the alternate entrance to Deeproot), his summon sign never appears. He just skips straight to his final location in Deeproot.

I call D and D giga-twins.
This one helps you with the shitty gargoyle duo.
D helps you with the black knife assasin in the catacombs.
Both of them are based as well.

What is this comment section? I've seen many comments here saying things like "D is murder. I wish I could kill him the Moment I saw him and torture him in the most painful way possible!" And other saying things like "Fia is Murderer and an undead apologist who is an objectively bad person. Everyone who defends her is a simp!" I think we should all take a step back to remember that we are speaking about a VIDEO GAME. It is a fictional story with fictional characters who interact with each other in order to progress an optional questline. It's as if everyone in this comment section has engrossed themselves into a fictional world too much and get so attached to either the D brothers or Fia. The result is that everyone in the comments is warring over whether Fia or D are morally correct in their actions and yelling at each other because whenever an NPC they like gets attacked they feel personally offended and obligated to argue back.
I'm not saying it's wrong to discuss lore or even the morality of these characters' actions. What I am saying is that if we are to discuss these things we need to remember we are talking about fiction here and speak about them like rational and mature, sane human-beings. So please, for the sake of your own health, Ya'll should go touch some grass.

I don't know why anyone would choose to simp for Fia after killing D. Her useless baldichins are nothing to the help he gives. The golden order are right in not wanting a bunch of skeletons walking around the world. If you want the best future, you should kill Fia yourself instead of helping her.

I feel like D brothers questline should've been a bit longer, because I still don't understand how tf Devin gotten into a Nokron of all places, a city that is closed off to everyone. even PC can get there after a frickin meteorite falls somewhere close to it. so was Devin a part of expedition ? then why he doesn't look like those skinny white dudes ? was he trapped there ? is this why he needs his brother armor ? so he can remember who is he because he was trapped there for so long ? and how tf he has a sword identical to his twin brother ?

Look, everyone in this storyline dies no matter what you or any of them does. This is not like Nephali Loux where you can actually reach the end of the game and have her still alive.
Sure, you can make an abstract judgement of whom to blame and whom to help, but in practical terms you don't really get a vote.

Even though he didn't actually kill her, him stabbing her would certainly prevent her "living within death", a reasonable concern for someone who just birthed a rune from the source of all deathblight. That, or maybe he was just in a silly goofy mood

Literally everything in game suggest that "Those who live in death" are sad, evil beings reanimated by Godwyn's curse. Essentially just corpses that don't have free will or intelligence and only exist to fight. The D Brothers are literally doing the dead service by destroying those corpses to let those who the corpses belonged to rest. While Fia has deluded herself that those eternally suffering beings created by an eldricht horror of a mutilated corpse are somehow an oppressed race and not the victims of Destined Death going haywire and wants to curse all the living beings to wander the world the same way and yet people in comments are arguing that D's are the bad ones??

This comment section is utterly depressing. People bragging about how they killed a character in a video game because he stabs her (I never said she was alive when he stabbed her). She is a fictional character who killed another character’s brother, try to look at it from this guys side. Almost everyone in this comment section (including me) needs to get some serious help.

I don't really blame this guy, like how would you feel if you found out some weird lady who sleeps with corpses recently murdered your twin brother who is literally half of your very being? doubt any sane person would still be willing to simp for her.

You can finish Fia's questline entirely, including killing her champions & the lichdragon, and only then give D's brother the armor. He will NOT be available as an NPC for the gargoyle fight (I found this out on NG+2), but he will still appear over Fia's corpse in Deeproot Depths gloating over her body, just as if you did his part of the quest first before meeting Fia there. Either way, listen to him rant a bit, reload at the nearby grace, and you'll get the armor + sword. Considering he's only really good as an NPC summon for the gargoyles during a first run-through - as by NG+ you almost certainly have a maxed out mimic tear or Tiche - he's not really worth bothering with. Especially as he will instantly end Fia's questline if you talk to him first. So depending on what you want to do first - Fia's Quest + likely getting that ending, or another ending - you might just want to skip him entirely until you're almost completely done.

D is, imo at least, a cool, morally dubious, but probably justifiably vengeful character who is in direct opposition to a woman who is also a cool, morally dubious, but probably justifiably vengeful character. The way they're presented, that irony makes itself feel very apparent, and goes to show how basically nothing is going to get done without an outsider's perspective taking the reins.
This particular comments section doesn't seem to see the moral nuance here. It's always either "s/he's a good guy" or "s/he's a bad guy". How can we say that for certain without knowing the full story anyways, one way or another? What the circumstances were when everything that transpired, transpired?
- Anonymous
So, I gave him the armor set and proceeded to fight and kill the Gargoyles without ever seeing his sign, dying, or sitting at a grace or in the coffin after the fight and he also disappeared, which isn't mentioned as something that would happen, unless of course the very act of going into the boss arena unloads the rest of the level, which I've not seen any evidence of while playing, but I suppose could be possible, so just figured I' say something in order to help make the page a bit more accurate in the event someone with an account to edit the page with happens to read this.
