After defeating Aldrich, Devourer of Gods in Dark Souls III, players gain access to Smough's Set.Additionally, Smough can be heard laughing after crushing Ornstein.
During the boss fight, if the player defeats Ornstein first, Ornstein's hand moves briefly before Smough crushes him with his hammer, implying that he was still alive. Whether Smough also wears the helm like this or not is unknown. When worn by the player, the visor in Smough's helm is shown located at the neck of the helm, and a small wooden construction holds the upper part of the helm in place. This may imply that some aspects of the armor are adapted to Smough's body. The armor is described as being able to be worn by humans "but not without great difficulty". Whether this depiction is of Smough himself, or a male Chosen Undead wearing his armor, is unknown. Concept art of Smough's armor depicts a rather muscular man wearing it. In the code for the Japanese version of the game, Smough's name is displayed as '処刑者スモウ', which translates to read as 'Executioner Smō'. The player can buy Smaugh's Set after defeating Aldritch in Anor Londo's cathedral, and Smough's Great Hammer is found in the sewer of Irithyll. In Dark Souls III it is implied that Smough was in the end defeated and maybe even consumed by Aldritch, Devourer of Gods. When Ornstein left in search of the Nameless King, Smough remained guarding the ruined cathedral, and was ironically, despite his unholy position as executioner, the last knight of any kind of status to do so. Smough was one of the few living beings left who seemed present in Anor Londo, stationed there alongside Dragon Slayer Ornstein to guard Gwynevere, Princess of Sunlight. He desired to be a part of Gwyn's Knights, but was rejected due to his apparent gleeful love of his work as an executioner as well as his cannibalistic behavior. Smough relished his title as executioner, so much so that he ground the bones of his victims into his feed.
