Bandai Namcois serving up some stunning new merch forFromSoftwarestans, this time in the form of a goblet and tankard representingDark Souls' most iconic boss duo - none other than Ornstein and Smough.
If you’re like me and have spent your fair share of grueling moments dying to Anor Londo’s resilient knight and executioner combo, you may be interested in some sort of trophy marking your emergence from beyond the fog wall. That’s whereBandai Namco’s official Ornstein goblet and Smough tankard come in, as seen on the company’sstorefront. Both cups serve as a beautiful addition to any player’s glassware, functional and ornate.
They’re not cheap, however - the Ornstein goblet will set you back £39.99 / €44.99 while the Smough tankard comes in at a hefty £59.99 / €69.99. For thoseFromSoftwarefans who preferElden Ringover Dark Souls, there’s a third cup, too: a tankard themed around Starscourge Radahn, the mighty demigod who took on Malenia herself. All three options are stunning, in my opinion, featuring a high level of attention to detail.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
