Unlocking Loyce requires a mix of patience and attention to detail. I stumbled into it accidentally on my second playthrough, which made me appreciate how layered the game’s design is. You have to reach level 40+ before they even appear in the world, and their trigger is tied to an obscure side activity: collecting 'Faded Contracts' from bounty boards in three different cities. These aren’t marked as special items, just generic loot, but hoarding them unlocks a hidden vendor near the capital’s docks. Trade all 15 contracts for a 'Sealed Dossier,' which starts the 'Shadows of the Past' questline.
This quest is brutal—no waypoints, just cryptic journal entries about meeting at 'the clocktower when the moon is highest.' Took me forever to realize that meant in-game time, not real time! Once you nail the timing and location, Loyce ambushes you in a fight that’s impossible to win (don’t panic—losing is part of the script). Afterward, they join temporarily for a dungeon crawl where your choices determine if they stay permanently. Mess up the dialogue about 'old loyalties,' and poof—they’re gone until New Game+.
To get Loyce, focus on the game’s faction reputation system. They’re tied to the Mercenary Guild’s hidden branch, so you need at least 'Respected' status with them before the option appears. Grinding guild quests is the obvious route, but here’s a shortcut: sell any rare weapons you find to their blacksmith instead of keeping them. This boosts rep faster than standard missions. Once eligible, check the guild’s back room for a new NPC offering 'A Test of Resolve'—a solo survival challenge against waves of enemies. Survive 10 rounds, and Loyce shows up as the final 'boss,' but you’re meant to lose. Afterward, they’ll mock your skills but offer training sessions that eventually lead to recruitment. Pro tip: equip gear with high stagger resistance for the fight; their moveset relies on knockdowns.
Loyce is one of those characters that feels like a hidden gem once you finally unlock them. The process isn't straightforward, but it's totally worth the effort. First, you'll need to progress through the main storyline until you reach the third major arc—this is when Loyce starts appearing in side quests. There's a specific chain of missions in the 'Eclipse District' that involve helping a group of rebels. Complete all five of their requests, and on the final one, you'll have to choose between two morally gray options. Picking the 'Trust but Verify' dialogue path triggers Loyce’s recruitment event.
What makes this satisfying is how organic it feels. Loyce isn't just handed to you; their backstory unfolds through environmental clues during these quests, like notes left in abandoned safehouses or NPC chatter about a 'phantom strategist.' If you rush through, you might miss the subtle hints that make their eventual reveal so rewarding. Also, don’t skip the post-quest tavern scene—it’s where their personality really shines, and skipping it locks you out of their unique gear later.

“I won’t be Lorenzo Greco’s breeding incubator!”
With those sharp words, Victoria Bianchi turned down the deal offered by the most powerful Alpha in the city. She ran from home, chasing the love of a man who rejected her the second he realized she could never use her family’s power again.
Now she’s cornered. And with the werewolf race facing an infertility crisis, she has to choose which poison to swallow...
Either she becomes a breeding Omega for an entire pack, or she gives birth to the heir of the ruthless Greco family.
Because fate seems obsessed with binding her to Patriarch Lorenzo Greco, and now she has to submit to the Alpha she once despised.
Lorenzo doesn’t forget. And even if her scent is driving him wild and the bond between them is undeniable, now that he has Victoria in his hands, he’s going to teach her a lesson she’ll never be able to shake…
What would you do if you've been saving yourself for your mate? Only for him to choose another Alpha Female right in your face?
Reciprocate the act.
Avenge.
An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.
Easier said than done. Because whenever he was around me, my body betrayed me.
"Alia, do you trust me? Even just for tonight?" His voice came out low and rough that it sent shivers of pleasure direct to my core.
I know I should not trust him. But my mouth and body have a mind of their own.
"I trust you, Gavin..." I whispered as I pressed my back to his naked chest.
He took a deep breath and dipped his head into the crook of my neck, slowly brushing his lips against my burning skin. I angled my head, giving him more access while a sultry moan escaped my throat when he started nibbling and sucking the soft spot where his mark should be.
This was all wrong, but I don't want to be right this time. Just for tonight.

School is another story. Bullied throughout grade school, she has become quite jaded. After being rejected by the future alpha of her pack, is true happiness even a possibility for her?
When the apocalypse came, she lost everything. Starving, hunted, and desperate, she trusted the one man she loved… only for him to betray her in the cruelest way possible. He stole her last supplies to please another woman and left her to die in a sea of the undead.
But death wasn’t the end.
She woke up days before the world collapsed.
After cutting ties with her ungrateful ex and his parasitic family, a mysterious voice awakens in her mind, LUS, a Level-Up System designed to help her survive the coming end.

Because now, the man who once abandoned her is back, broken, desperate, and begging for a second chance. Too bad she has no time for regrets.
Not when she’s busy rising to power… and building a kingdom in the ruins of the world.
Loyce is one of those characters that stuck with me long after I put down the controller. In 'Dark Souls II', they’re tied to the Eleum Loyce kingdom, a frozen wasteland where the player uncovers fragments of a tragic story. Loyce knights were sworn to protect their homeland from the Chaos, but as the Ivory King fell, so did their hopes. What’s haunting is how the lore isn’t spoon-fed—you piece it together through item descriptions, environmental details, and the eerie silence of the empty throne room. It’s classic FromSoftware storytelling: subtle, melancholic, and deeply rewarding for those who dig deeper.
What fascinates me is how Loyce’s identity blurs between collective and individual. Are they a specific knight, or a symbol of the entire order? The game leaves it ambiguous, which makes it even more memorable. The armor sets, the way the knights are frozen in time—it all adds to this sense of futility and honor. I’ve spent hours discussing this with other fans, and everyone has their own interpretation. That’s the beauty of it; the gaps in the lore become spaces for imagination.
Loyce? Oh, that name sends me down a rabbit hole of memories! From what I've pieced together across forums and wikis, Loyce isn't a mainline playable character in most installments, but they pop up in spin-offs or side content like mobile games or DLCs. I recall stumbling upon fan art of them in a niche community—some speculated they were cut from an early draft of 'Dark Arisen' due to cryptic design sheets leaked years ago. Their armor design had this ornate, almost religious vibe, which makes me wonder if they were meant to tie into the lore's clergy factions. Maybe one day we'll get an expanded universe novel that gives them proper spotlight!
Honestly, the ambiguity around Loyce is part of their charm. They feel like one of those 'what if' characters fans obsess over, like the unused concepts in 'Final Fantasy Tactics.' I’ve seen modders try to recreate them in RPG Maker projects, which says a lot about their cult appeal. If you’re into deep-cut lore hunting, tracking down Loyce’s scattered references across art books or interviews could be a fun weekend deep dive.
