Galib, God of Disease[1] is a mentioned character in Dark Souls II.

Lore[]

Galib was worshiped by the Leydia apostles as the "god of disease"[2].

After the witches were welcomed into the Undead Crypt and ended up residing beside the Fenito[3], they gained access to their power of death and disease[4]. However at a certain point the Leydia Witches grew conceived and began to manipulate both the onset and curing of disease, making themselves the effective gatekeepers of the crypt[5], implying their desires to control the powers of their god and administer the crypt.

Theories[]

  • It is possible to theorize that "Galib, God of Disease" is the name that the Leydia Witches used to continue to venerate Gravelord Nito after his name was lost over the centuries[6], as not only is Galib connected to "diseases" in the way in which Nito was connected to deadly miasmas[7] but the Fenito, creatures created by the Ancient Lord[8], welcomed the Leydia Witches into the Undead Crypt[9] and shared the power of death with them[10], implying that there was cultural and ideological common ground between the two to collaborate, at least initially.
