In-game description

Abyss sorcery discovered by an Oolacile
sorcerer on the brink of madness.
Fire giant Dark Orb.
In contrast to standard soul sorceries,
Abyss sorceries are weighty and inflict
physical damage. Perhaps human souls,
because of their humanity, produce
sorceries with more tangible presence.

Where to find

Treasure pickup

Oolacile Township

  1. From the bonfire beyond Artorias, descend into the first buildings. Reach the side route near the first Bloathead Sorcerer and the lower ledge occupied by another sorcerer.
  2. Enter the room guarded by two Bloathead Sorcerers and open the chest for Dark Orb. The two spellcasters can cover the room together, so draw one out before approaching the chest.

Notes

  • Requirements and charges: Requires 16 Intelligence. Uses 1 attunement slot and provides 12 charges per attuned copy before equipment modifiers.
  • Casting tool: Cast with a catalyst. Most catalysts gain spell power from Intelligence; the Tin Darkmoon Catalyst uses Faith, while the Oolacile Ivory Catalyst and Oolacile Catalyst have fixed Magic Adjustment. Meeting this spell's Intelligence requirement is still necessary with those exceptions.
  • DLC and achievements: Included in the Artorias of the Abyss content bundled with Remastered. This DLC spell is not required for its school's original all-spells achievement.
  • Attributes by component: Intelligence usually raises the magical component through catalyst Magic Adjustment. Strength, or Dexterity where the catalyst has that physical scaling, can improve the physical component. These attributes are not interchangeable, and a catalyst without the relevant scaling does not gain that benefit.
  • Use: Launches a slow dark projectile with both physical and magic damage. The long windup needs a larger opening than Dark Bead.
  • Casting power: The two components respond differently to the catalyst: physical scaling matters to the physical part and Magic Adjustment to the magical part. They then meet separate target defenses.
