Firekeeper

It. The most important factor is to never cure your hollowing while trying to get this ending. This means do not heal your dark sigil, do not give a firekeeper soul to the firekeeper, and do not use purging stones. Hollowing is what makes your character look like a zombie. You are allowed to restore ember. Successfully complete all of the following steps as soon as possible. Do not do anything unnecessary in-between and do not progress the story any further than you have to or you could mess things up. If anything goes wrong, you can also speedrun the story within 2-3 hours in New Game+.Step 1: Recruit Yoel on the bridge of "Foot Of The High Wall" bonfire.Step 2: Talk to Yoel in the Firelink shrine and let him give you a free level up.Step 3: Kill yourself eight times in a row (jump off the cliff).Step 4: Level up four more times at Yoel (every two deaths is one level up).Step 5: Yoel will now die and is replaced by Yuria in the Firelink shrine. Talk to Yuria (fast travel back and forth so she spawns).Step 6: Talk to Anri (a knight) at the "Halfway Fortress" bonfire (Road Of Sacrifices area).Step 7: Kill the Deacons Of The Deep Boss (Cathedral Of The Deep area).Step 8: Talk to Anri in the Firelink shrine after defeating the Deacons Of The Deep Boss.Step 9: Talk to Anri near Catacombs Of Carthus entrance after killing the Lord Of Cinder: Abyss Watchers

Lost Undead.On the right side is a bird's nest with a voice asking for warm and soft.This is snuggly the crow.There isn't much use for it now but remember this place.Go back to the center area and proceed to the end of the cliff. ++++Firelink Shrine++++[firsh1]Is that a cool way to travel or what?Anyway, first order of business is to go to the bonfire.Now you should be able to gain 1 level, invest it in dex. Do not use the soul you got earlier, you'll want to use it at the first merchant, just a little while ahead.You should see a blue guy in front of you. If you talk to him he tells you to go ring the bells, one in the church upstairs and one in blighttown. Basically that's our first mission, but first let's explore.If you go down the stairs to your left you will see some sort of prison with the firekeeper inside. She cannot speak but if you find a firekeeper soul and give it to her, she will upgrade your estus flask to heal better.Go down the next flight of stairs and you will come to a lift, this takes you to New Londo Ruins, but trust me unless you need to go to the blacksmith down there you do not want to be there yet, in fact even when you need to go there to proceed with the game, you don't want to go there.So back up the stairs, you will see a well with an item, this is Humanity. Humanity is really neat because it allows you to go back to your human form, kindle fires, raise your drop rate, and deal more damage to foes,Just be carefull, if you die you'll lose it, just like your souls.The amount of humanity you have is dislayed in the top left corner of the screen.From the well go up the stairs and take the rightmost archway, here you will find 6 Firebombs, basically the item version of Fireball.The middle archway leads to Petrus of Thorolund, who, if you keep talking to him, will sell you miracles and a talisman, teach you a Gesture, and lets you join his covenant, the way of the white.Go up the stairs to his right and you will come to 2 archways, if you go through them you will come to four chests giving you 4 cracked red eye

You so kill him.Go through the door, walk outside and go left, quickly take out the knight andturn around. Now kill the spear soldier and continue.Out on the walkway take the first left and you'll be behind the closed(or not) gate. Take the basement key and halberd lying here and carefully approach the door.There will be a knight running at you, lure him outside and backstab him.Take out your bow, shoot the second knight and kill him too.While you were sniping the second knight, you probably saw a really big knight in the back of the room, lure him out with an arrow and kill him, just don't gothrough the door because a third knight is waitng to your left to ambush you.After all enemies are dead, run to where the big knight was and take the Firekeeper soul, just know that on a walkway above you there will be a sorcerercasting soul arrows at you.From the firekeeper soul go right, kill the 3 soldiers and cross the bridge into another building.If you go down the stairs you will come to a bonfire, light it,rest at it and if you have the humanity reverse your hollowing(if nescesary) and kindle the flame, don't use your souls for levelling though, the hammering sound you hear is Andre of Astora, a blacksmith, who is downstairs. Repair any equipment and buy at least the repairbox. Andre now sells arrows too.Grinding time again.You probably saw that Andre also sells the Crest of Arthorias for 20K souls.Go back to where you just came from, kill the 3 soldiers, then go left across the walkway, backstab the knight, kill the spearguy, go to the large area behind the gate, kill the 3 knights inside the building, go back to the bonfireand repeat untill you have enough souls.Now go to Andre, buy the crest and go through the door near him.This ugly thing can be beaten real easily(although cheap) by standing behind a broken pillar in the middle of the room where he can't hit you but you can hit him with manual aim. He drops a Demon titanite and can also drop a titanite catchpole altough this never happened for me.++++Darkroot Garden++++[darga1]As soon as you enter, go left. You'll see a walking tree like thing coming at you, don't let them grab you, just block and counter. It should go down after 3 hits. These guys have

Do so and if he survives he will give you a Sunlight medal. You are going to need 10 of these to get a miracle from the sunlight warrior covenant.Anyway, here's the strategy.From the start keep moving, he has a confusing jump attack that can let you throw youself of the roof if you're not carefull.Just get close, bait him into doing an attack, get behind him and attack.This way he'll go down pretty quickly, just beware after about a minute his buddy shows up who will start breathing fire. Just stay focussed on the first one, stay cautious but aggressive and take him down. Repeat for number two and this fight should end without too much problems.If you have Solaire with you, the strategy remains the same, but although Sol won't do a lot of damage, he will provide a good distraction to make the fight even easier.When the gargoyles are toast you'll get 10000 souls if you did it alone or 5000 souls and a sunlight medal if you did it with Sol and he survived. Here's a link on how to beat those goofballs. is nothing on the sides of the tower, so go in and climb it. When you reach the top you will see a lever, pull it.You just rang the first bel of awakening, nice going!Go back down and talk to the creepy guy that has arrived, this is Oswald of Carim. This guy can give you absolution for sins you may have committed againstcovenants, the cost is high however (2000 souls x your current level), but if you anger an NPC, this will stop them from being hostile. He does sell some good items though, the miracle Karmic justice, some rings and most importantly right now, purging stones.- Ultimate_Finale wrote: after patch 1.04 the cost for absolution will onlybe 500 souls x your current level, so creds to him-The rings and miracle are probably way above your price range, but aim to buy at least 1 purging stone, Ozzie sells them for 3000, the only other merchant that sells them asks 6000 and trust me, if you get cursed you´ll want one asap,so just buy one.Head back to the Firelink shrine.++++Firelink Shrine++++ [firsh2]Go towards where fhe firekeeper is and give her the firekeeper soul if you haven't already, this will upgrade your estus. Near her, you will see Lautec sitting on the floor,

Do a shield bash,then throw a fire orb and poke them some to kill them.If you look inside the building, you'll see 2 of them, lure the first one outwith your bow, and kill it. Don't waste an arrow on the second one, just goinside and kill it. In the chest you'll find a demon titanite.Outside there are 3 ways to go. To the right is an elevator down, straight isa building with 2 more knights and 2 treasure chests and to the left a bonfire, go there first.The chick standing against the wall is Anor Londo's firekeeper, if you have a firekeeper soul, she'll reinforce your estus.Now go outside and left into the building, there are two giant knights here,if you stand in the doorway you can snipe them both without them coming to you.The left treasure chest holds a twinkling titanite, the right one is anothermonster, dropping a crystal halberd.The door to the right leads to another giant and a path to some orange fog wecan't cross yet, so now go to the elevator.Go down the stairs and outside on the bridge you'll have to fight a gargoyle.Like the gargoyle boss from long ago, you can cut off it's tail and it willdrop a weapon, don't worry if it fails though, you don't need this one for the trophy.When it's dead, go back to the stairs you came from and drop down to the leftof it, follow the path to a chest with a demon titanite, now turn around, go through the archway and climb up on the support beam thing sticking out ofthe building to the left. Be carefull you don't fall of, the camera will getshaky while it is between the pillars.Go through the broken window and take out the ninja that drops down, and the other one in the back.Climb the ladder and cross the narrow beams, be carefull you don't fall off or you'll die. The ninjas up here will throw knives at you when they see you,just raise your shield and wait, eventually they will come to you so you cankill them.About halfway across the beams, you will see an item on a chandelier, breakthe chain with your weapon so we can pick up the item later.At the other end you will see fog and a stairs going down, this is a dead end with nothing there so go through the fog.You'll come

Altar,either through Frampt or Kaathe, buy everything from Petrus if you haven't already and kill him. We will meet our next miracle seller before we get backto firelink, and if Petrus is still alive after we beat the next lord, and before we get back to firelink, he will kill her.Go down to the firekeeper to upgrade your estus with the firekeeper soul fromNew Londo.Also attune the cast light sorcery and make sure you have a catalyst, any willdo. We don't need it quite yet, but it's easy to forget and it's a long walkfrom the last bonfire before the area we do need it.Now go to the skeleton graveyard, they are easy to kill by now. Collect all theitems, equip your divine weapon and go into....++++The Catacombs++++ [thcat1]The skeletons in here aren't much stronger than their counterparts outside, butif you kill them with anything other than a divine weapon, they'll just comeback to life.When you enter, be carefull, there will be exploding skulls floating around thestairs, they can knock you off.Proceed down, taking out the skellies, untill you get to the bottom and a hole the wall to your left.Enter to find a sorcerer, a lever and a bonfire. These sorcerers are the ones reviving the skeletons. If you take one out, the skeletons in the area willno longer come back to life, but since I'm not sure where the boundaries arebetween the areas, let's just keep our divine weapon untill the boss.When you are done with the bonfire, pull the lever and proceed.When you get outside, you can see the next sorcerer on a ledge in the distance,snipe him and follow the path, killing the skellies. Cross the bridge intoa cave area.Just go around the only path you can take, untill you reach the archer, again,killing the skellies as you go.When you get to the archer, take it and the other skeleton out and take thelarge soul of a nameless soldier.Take the path outside and follow it all the way to the back to take the soul ofa proud knight, now move back a little and push the lever you just passed.If you move further back, you'll have created a bridge with 2 skeletons and a sorcerer inside the cave, do what you have to. If you go right here, and dropdown the hole you'll come to a room with a lizard, follow the path to a ladder
