Cosplayer Reganight Embodies Dark Souls II's Emerald Herald: "I was created by humans, but born of a dragon."
Cosplayer Reganight has masterfully transformed into the Emerald Herald from the acclaimed game Dark Souls II, embodying the enigmatic character whose role is to guide the Bearer of the Curse through the perilous fantasy world, helping them to gain strength and fortify their Estus Flask.
The talented photographer Ekaterina Morpheeva frequently ventures into the universes of popular games, capturing vivid and unique shots that delight both gamers and cosplay aficionados.
This time, her lens focused on model Reganight in the guise of Shanalotte, more commonly known as the Emerald Herald, within the somber and atmospheric realm of the action RPG Dark Souls II.
The Emerald Herald first greets the game's protagonist upon their arrival in Majula. She is instrumental in assisting the player to level up and enhance their Estus Flask, thereby increasing its uses and effectiveness.
Shanalotte is not a human in the conventional sense. It is widely believed that she is a hybrid, a creation by Lord Aldia and King Vendrick in their desperate attempt to engineer a being capable of breaking the cycle of the curse.
She describes herself with the evocative words: "I was created by humans, but born of a dragon. I was made by those who attempted to deceive fate." Clad in a distinctive green hooded cloak, the Emerald Herald often provides the player with crucial insights into the significant events unfolding across the game's world.
Furthermore, a popular theory suggests that the Emerald Herald is none other than the old spinner woman from the introductory cinematic of Dark Souls II, identified as the fourth Fire Keeper.
