 * After spending 16,000 souls, Maughlin will gloat about how rich he has become and begin selling the unique Alva set, an incredibly lightweight medium armor set with high defense.
 * If he is visited while the player has zero souls after having unlocked the Alva armor, he will have a new piece of dialogue through the talk option where he will take pity on the player and offer a free hand-out in way of the unique Aurous Set, a transparent medium armor set with the ability of increasing one's maximum equipment load for every piece equipped. You can use the Dark Sign item to remove all your souls to zero without losing your humanity.
