Location[]
Prince Ricard is a hollowed enemy found near the top of a tower in the latter half of Sen's Fortress, beyond the Berenike Knight.
He does not respawn when killed.
Lore[]
Ricard's armor implies that he was from Astora[1]. Ricard journeyed through different lands for a long time until he eventually Hollowed in Lordran.[2]

Trivia[]
- Since Ricard's Rapier says that he "wandered the lands in a fateful ill-conceived journey" and is praised for (unknown) exploits sung in monomyth, it's possible that Ricard left his kingdom to adventure.
- Ricard might have been the son of Undead King Jar-Eel due to the similarity between their titles, which could track Ricard's origins back to the four kingdoms. However, that wouldn't make any sense in the final game.
- Ricard is implied to be the son of Knight King Rendal.
