Old Champion's Remains
Old Champion’s Remains is the undead champion buried at the Champion’s Grave. It fights with a sword and shield, and when it dies, the Frenzied Shade rises from its body for a second fight. Both kills complete the Defeat The Old Champion quest in the Soulslike Champions chapter, which is linked from Act II.
Location#
The Old Champion’s Remains waits at the Champion’s Grave (soulsweapons:champions_graves), which generates in taiga biomes. The Champion’s Grave and the Cathedral of Resurrection share one placement grid, so between them they generate at most once per 60 × 60 chunk area.
The Moonstone Compass points to the structures of this mod. Using the boss’s own weapon, the Draugr, on an Old Moon Altar summons it again.

Its basic attacks have a 0.5 s cooldown and its special attacks a 15 s cooldown. Its hits apply Bleed buildup, and they disable shields.
Strategy#
- Vary the damage. It grows resistant after taking 3 hits, and it becomes immune to projectiles after 3 projectile hits.
- Don’t block. Its attacks disable shields.
- Fire and Bleed don’t work. It is immune to both.
- Prepare for a second fight. The Frenzied Shade appears as soon as it dies.
- Sustained damage beats burst. The damage cap blocks anything above 20% of its maximum health in a second.
Drops#
| Item | Count | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Draugr | 1 | Always |
The Frenzied Shade, which rises after the fight, drops the Lord Soul and the Essence of Eventide.
