Quelana of Izalith



Quelana of Izalith is a character and pyromancy trainer in Dark Souls. She is voiced by Jenny Funnell, who also voiced the Darkmoon Knightess.

Location
Quelana sits on an island in Blighttown directly in front of the entrance to Chaos Witch Quelaag's lair. The most guaranteed way to encounter her is to level up a Pyromancy Flame to +10.

Prior to patch 1.05, Quelana would appear for some players, but not others. This is no longer the case.

Plot
Upon meeting Quelana, she offers to teach the player Pyromancy. After a while, she asks the player to defeat what is left of her mother—former Witch of Izalith, the Bed of Chaos, and her corrupted sisters*, Quelaag and the Daughter of Chaos. After the player does all these, she gifts the player her final pyromancy: Fire Tempest.

* Despite Quelana implying the player must kill all of her sisters, killing Quelaag's Sister does not contribute towards receiving the Fire Tempest pyromancy.

Lore
According to the Gold-Hemmed Black Set description, Quelana is the creator of pyromancy: using fire as a combat art. Quelana passed on her knowledge to Salaman, who in turn passed on his knowledge of pyromancy to the people of the Great Swamp.

Strategy
Quelana has an unlimited amount of pyromancies at her disposal. She seems to prefer Great Fireball and Fire Tempest the most. Both are very powerful if they connect, but have slow start-ups, allowing players to go for the backstab if they are close enough. Quelana may deal high damage but is physically very weak. Quelana is also just as susceptible to poison as the player is; one can choose to attack her and have her wade into the swamp surrounding her, leading to a slow, but safe, death. Finally, the infested giants can also damage her heavily should they chase the player to that point.

Trivia

 * It seems that the Daughters of Chaos have names beginning with "Quela" as a prefix, Quelana being one of the examples.
 * Eingyi refers to Quelana as "Lost Quelana", suggesting that the other Daughters of Chaos feel a sense of alienation towards Quelana.
 * In a developer interview, it was stated that Quelana is not human. By extension, this means that the Daughters of Chaos were not human, either.
