Can be purchased with the Dragon Chaser's Ashes


Can be purchased with the Dragon Chaser's Ashes.
(Weapons with this upgrade path require the Transposing Kiln (drop from the Curse-Rotted Greatwood) to use with Ludleth to exchange boss souls).

Note: DLC Pyromancy are not required for the achievement and are not listed below.

NPCs Needed: Cornyx and Karla.

Note: DLC Miracles are not required for the achievement and are not listed below.

NPCs Needed: Irina of Carim and Karla

Note: DLC Sorceries are not required for the achievement and are not listed below.

NPCs Needed: Orbeck mostly, but a few can be bought by Yoel or Yuria:
Note: You need a base stat of 10 INT for Orbreck to relocate to Firelink and It is not recommended to kill Orbeck by request of Yuria. This will only limit your sorceries available for the achievement until the next NG cycle.

Note: Some rings require multiple collections and continuing to NG+2 (Life Ring +3 is also found on NG+2). This is also necessary for the three separate endings. Make sure to collect each base ring before continuing to a NG cycle. Some rings have higher versions in the DLC, but these are not needed for the achievement and therefore will not be covered.

"Base" rings are any found in your first playthrough, for clarification.
Videos for +1 (NG+1), +2 (NG+2) and Life Ring +3 (Also found on NG+2) show the location only as my character with all rings is on another NG cycle.

Important Note: All NPCs can be accidentally hit or aggroed. If this happens unintentionally, ask for absolution at the Statue of Velka in the Undead Settlement sewers. Accessible by purchasing the "Grave Key" (1500 souls) from the Shrine Handmaiden after giving her Mortician's Ashes.

NPCS are listed mostly in order of how early you'll be able to encounter them. Note that many NPC quests can fail other NPC quests or cannot be done in the same NG cycle, so follow them carefully.

1. Firekeeper : Firelink Shrine; Needed for "The End of Fire" ending (See Endings Section).

2. Shrine Handmaiden : Firelink Shrine; Needed for Life Ring (Also a burial gift), Lloyd's Shield Ring, Wood Grain Ring, and the "Tower Key" for Siegward / Patches questline. Umbral Ashes are brought to her.

3. Andre: Firelink Shrine; Needed for "Hurrah!" gesture, "Master of Infusion" and "Supreme Weapon Reinforcement" achievement. He also allots and upgrades your Estus and Ashen Estus Flasks.

4. Hawkwood: Firelink Shrine; Needed for "Rest" gesture

5. Pickle Pee: Firelink Shrine Roof; Needed for "Call Over" gesture (trade with homeward bone). Get early access to Pickle Pee and the Silver Serpent Ring without purchasing the Tower Key (20k souls) by using the tree jump method.

6.Ludleth of Courland: Firelink Shrine; Needed for several boss soul transpositions for sorceries/miracles/pyromancies, Rosaria's Soul transposition, Prisoner's Chain Ring, Havel's Ring, Pontiff's Left Eye Ring, and the Skull Ring after Soul of Cinder. The Transposing Kiln is necessary in order to perform soul transpositions with Ludleth, which is given after defeating the Curse-Rotted Greatwood. Note that you should join the Mound-Makers Covenant before defeating this boss.

7. Greirat: Trapped in a cell at the High Wall of Lothric. Needs to be saved to return to Firelink. Needed for Blue Tearstone ring and "Curl up" gesture

• First location he can be saved: in a locked cell at the High wall of Lothric underneath the "Tower on the Wall" bonfire after obtaining the "Cell Key". You will automatically be given the Blue Tearstone Ring when saving him, but later given "permission" to keep it when progressing his quest.
  
• Bring him Loretta's Bone as asked, and receive the "Curl Up" gesture and allows you to keep the Blue Tearstone Ring.
  
• He will ask to leave Firelink to find you supplies three times. Allow him to do so with caution as he can die before his quest is over: Make sure you saved Siegward from the well or trigger Patches arrival at Firelink and inform him of Greirat's outing BEFORE entering Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. (See Siegward NPC information on how to follow this).
  
• On his third trip (Lothric Castle), he unfortunately cannot be saved. If you allow him to explore, his ashes will be found on the roof of the Grand Archives and can be given to the Shrine Handmaiden.

8. Yoel of Londor: Needed for "Beckon" gesture and starting the "Usurpation of Fire" ending (Note: this is the most complicated ending and is easy to mess up with other NPC questlines). From "Foot of the High Wall" Bonfire, proceed down the stairs and go the opposite way of the gate opening. You will find him among a group of deceased Pilgrims. Accept his services and he will return to Firelink. You will need to agree to "Draw out True Strength" 5 times for Yuria to spawn at Firelink. Keep in mind this will hollow your character, which isn't a huge deal, but if you spend hours in character creation - make sure to buy purging stones or the Untrue Dark Ring from Yuria as curing the Dark Sigil will end her questline. (Video Location)

9. Yuria of Londor: Needed for "Dignified Bow" Gesture, the "Usurpation of Fire" ending, Anri's questline, the Untrue Dark Ring, Untrue White Ring, and Ring of Sacrifice (though the Ring of Sacrifice can also be found other places). Is first met at Firelink when you progress with Yoel's questline. Refer to the Endings Section for explanation of steps for "Usurpation of Fire" ending.

10. Ringfinger Leonhard: Needed for "Applause" gesture and Rosaria's Soul.
Note: Offering a Pale Tongue or joining Rosaria's Fingers can anger Sirris and fail her quest. Do this step after acquiring the Silvercat Ring.

• First appears at Firelink Shrine after finding "Tower on the Wall" bonfire in High Wall of Lothric or from defeating Vort of the Boreal Valley and gifts the player Cracked Red Eye Orbs (Not necessary to use to progress the quest).
  
• While having at least one pale tongue in your inventory (do not offer this to Rosaria yet) and either discovered the "Cliff Underside" bonfire in the Undead Settlement or Defeating the Curse-Rotted Greatwood (this boss is not recommended yet if you haven't joined The Mound-Makers Covenant and received that achievement), he will give the player the "Lift Chamber Key" to fight a dark wraith in a locked dungeon underneath the "Tower of the Wall" bonfire in the High Wall of Lothric.
  
• After defeating the wraith, Leonhard will reward the player with the "Applause" Gesture (needed) and a permanent Red Eye Orb.
  
• Proceed from here with caution as this will end Sirris' quest (finish hers first)
  Join Rosaria's Covenant and offer a pale tongue to deepen devotion to the covenant, reload the area and Leonard will be in this location. Exhaust his dialogue.
  
• The Black Eye Orb will now be required to invade Leonhard in Gwynevere's old bedchamber (above the Aldrich boss fight). This item can be found in Rosaria's bedchamber once you made it to the Profaned Capital.
  
• Successfully invading and defeating Leonhard will reward you with Rosaria's Soul (needed item to exchange with Ludleth - you can still use any of Rosaria's previous services without her soul).

11. Holy Knight Hodrick: Leader of the Mound-Makers Covenant and needed to complete Sirris' questline for the Silvercat Ring. Is first met when you are invaded by him in the Undead Settlement and can be summoned as a Mound-Maker in the Crucifixion Woods. Note that he is not a friendly summon but he does take damage from the enemies in your world, including Heysel when she invades.

12. Irina of Carim: Needed for several miracles, Saint's Ring, and "Prayer" gesture. First found in a cell in the Undead Settlement. (Video Location)

• Can be rescued from an underground cell in the Undead Settlement by either giving the Mortician's Ashes to the Shrine Handmaiden and buying the "Grave Key" (Door you'll find locked to the right of the Dilapidated Bridge Bonfire with sewer rats, skeletons, and the Statue of Velka)
  
• Second option to rescue her is dropping down the side of the bridge (patrolled by Cathedral Evangelists, dogs, Peasant Hollows, and Hollow Manservants). If the spell "Spook" is available to you, this will negate the fall damage.
  
• Once you find her cell you will learn the "Prayer" gesture and she will return to Firelink Shrine.
  
• Purchase Miracles and the Saint's Ring from her by providing her with the Braille Divine Tome of Carim and Braille Divine Tome of Lothric. (The Londor Braille Divine Tome and Deep Braille Divine Tome's are recommended for Karla).

13. Siegward of Catarina: Needed for "Rejoice", "Toast", "Sleep" gestures, "Emit Force" miracle, and access to the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring near the end of his quest. He will also gift you a Titanite Slab.

• First found in the Undead Settlement by the elevator near the entrance to Road of Sacrifices -close to NPC Eygon of Carim. Exhaust his dialogue causing him to move to the next area. Next trigger the elevator down for another platform to appear: ride the elevator up and roll off on a ledge about halfway, speak with him again, then help him defeat the Fire Demon (you must trigger the fight). He will reward you with the "Toast" and "Sleep" gesture along with a Siegbrau. (Video Location)
  
• Next Area: trapped in a well in the Cathedral of the Deep ("Cleansing Chapel" closest bonfire). To save him, you must encounter Patches who has stolen the Catarina Set. To trigger his appearance, open the first elevator shortcut and proceed to the bottom floor past both giants. It is recommended to kill them since Patches will attempt to trap you with them, they do not respawn, and they drop large titanite shards. Note that if you are embered in this area (lower level) you will be invaded by Longfinger Kirk. You'll find the elevator shortcut that leads to the main Cathedral of the Deep doors up the stairs from the second giant and beside the church pews near a Cathedral Knight. Across from the elevator, a room leading to a bridge towards Rosaria's Bedchamber will trigger Patches cutsene halfway across. Be aware that you cannot access Rosaria's Fingers this direction. To progress Siegward's quest, walk over the bridge to have Patches trap you with the giant (unless you killed them). You can then retrieve Siegward's stolen Catarina Set to throw to him in the well. (If this scene does not trigger or you took a separate path - you can force Patches appearance by proceeding to the next step).
  
• Purchase the Tower Key (20k Souls needed) and a homeward bone (if you do not already have) from the Shrine Handmaiden in Firelink and use this for the tower door outside the shrine. Climb the tower (Where you can find a Firekeeper's Soul) and use the elevator back down: this triggers Patches to lock you inside. Either use a homeward bone or descend carefully down the tower and Patches will relocate to Firelink Shrine as a merchant. (Video Location)
  
• Purchase the Catarina Set from Patches (18k souls total) and give them to Siegward by interacting with the well by the "Cleansing Chapel" bonfire in the Cathedral of the Deep. He will reward you with the "Rejoice" gesture. (Video Location)
  
• Meet him next in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley located in a kitchen / fireplace room above the sewer / water area full of spiders. Note: In order to progress his story, do not enter the Irithyll Dungeon area yet. Here he will reward you with another Siegbrau and the "Emit Force" miracle. (Video Location)
  
• Save Siegward from a cell in Irithyll Dungeon / Profaned Capital by finding the "Old Cell Key" in the sewer of rats. He will be located adjacent to a hole in a building on the roof of the Profaned Capital toxic area (where you find Logan's Scroll and a hostile NPC) - closest to the "Profaned Capital" bonfire. Jump through the hole and unlock his cell door. The Covetous Gold Serpent Ring is located in his cell and he also rewards you with a Titanite Slab. (Video Location)
  
• Proceed to the boss fight (Yhorm the Giant) and Siegward will accompany you. After defeating him, this will complete his quest as you've helped him keep his promise. His armor and his Storm Ruler will be item drops when the area is reloaded.

14. Cornyx of the Great Swamp: Needed for several Pyromancies and the “Welcome" Gesture. First found in a cage in the Undead Settlement (Video Location)

15. Orbeck of Vinheim: Needed for several Sorceries and Young Dragon Ring, Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring, (After you give him 2 scrolls) and "Silent Ally" Gesture. First found near the Crystal Sage boss fight in a side room. A base stat of 10 INT is needed for him to agree to relocate to Firelink Shrine. (Video Location)

16. Anri and Horace - Needed for the Blue Sentinels Covenant, "Quiet Resolve" Gesture, The “Usurpation of Fire”ending (see Endings Section), and Ring of the Evil Eye. First seen at the Road of Sacrifices: Halfway Fortress bonfire, then Firelink, the Catacombs, Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, and Anor Londo if the quest is completed correctly. (Video Location)

17. Sirris of the Sunless Realms - Needed for Silvercat Ring, and the "Darkmoon Loyalty" Gesture- required to enter Blades of the Darkmoon Covenant. Note that offering Rosaria a pale tongue to deepen covenant devotion at any point will anger Sirris and end her quest.

• Will show up naturally at Firelink Shrine after you speak with Anri and Horace in the Road of Sacrifices at the Halfway Fortress Bonfire. (exhaust dialouge)
  
• Give the Shrine Handmaiden the Dreamchaser's Ashes for her to reappear and recieve the "Darkmoon Loyaly" gesture. The ashes are by the Watchdogs of Farron Covenant found directly across from the Old Wolf of Farron on a corpse through an illusory wall. (Video Location)
  
• Her summon sign will appear on the same bridge where you fight the Sulyvahn Beast when entering Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. Defeat him and reload the area to help her kill Creighton the Wanderer. She will reward you with the Silvercat ring at Firelink Shrine.
  
• (Non-related to achievements but to continue her quest:) Her summon sign will appear outside of the Curse Rotted Greatwood boss arena. Help her with this fight against Holy Knight Hodrick. His armor will then be found outside of Firelink Shrine.
  
• She can be summoned to the Twin Princes fight and eventually her armor and talisman are available for purchase.

18. Yellow Finger Heysel - Invader that upon defeating twice is able to summon for the "Proper Bow" gesture. Note that following her questline will fail Sirris' quest line, so it is recommended to do these on separate NG cycles. Remember to be embered in order for her to invade.

• First Invasion: Crucifixion Woods near 2 hostile NPCs and a giant crab (Video Location)
  
• Second Invasion: Farron Keep near toxic frogs and one of the three flames to extinguish. (Video Location)
  
• After defeating her in both invasions, Join Rosaria's Covenant and offer a pale tongue. She will then be found as a summon around the Keep Ruins bonfire before the Abyss Watchers. Summon Heysel for the "Proper Bow" gesture. (Video Location)

19. Rosaria - Needed for Covenant, Obscuring Ring (10 Pale Tongue offerings), and her soul for a trade with Ludleth (Follow Leonhard's quest for her soul). First found in the Cathedral of the Deep (Video Location). Pale tongues can be acquired by invading other players with her covenant equipped or farmed from Darkwraiths (5% drop increased by using Covetous Gold Serpent Ring, Crystal Sage Rapier, and Symbol of Avarice: rare drop from mimics).

20. Patches: Needed for "Squat" and "Prostration" gestures, Horsehoof Ring, and to progress Siegward's quest. First found in the Cathedral of the Deep or when you enter the Tower behind Firelink Shrine bought by the Tower Key from the Shrine Handmaiden. His appearance will depend on your story progression. (Video Location)

20. Londor Pale Shade - Needed for "Duel Bow" Gesture (from summoning him). Is a hostile NPC unless you are on good terms with Yuria. Can be summoned as an ally for the Abyss Watchers or Pontiff Sulyvahn fight when following the Lord of Hollows quest line and have 5 dark sigils.

21. Karla: Needed for Dark Miracles and Pyromancies. Found in a cell in Irithyll Dungeon by several jailers. The Jailer's Key Ring (Video Location) is needed to unlock her cell and bring her back to Firelink. (Video Location)

22. Tsorig: (Hostile NPC and can be summoned once killed) Needed for "My Thanks" Gesture and Knight Slayer Ring. Can be found in Smouldering Lake past the bonfire by the Old Demon King Boss. Despite the outcome of the fight; you will still receive the gesture. (Video Location)

Note that each ending (and all the achievements for that matter) needs to be done on one character, so you'll need to complete NG+ cycles for the other endings. This also contains major spoilers that are necessary to cover for all achievements.

After you have defeated all Lords of Cinder the Twin Princes bosses and offered the cinders to each throne where Ludleth is sitting, interact with the bonfire in Firelink Shrine to be warped to the Kiln of the First Flame. (This part is a requirement for all endings). After defeating the last base game boss, Soul of Cinder, interact with the bonfire and you'll receive this ending.

Follow the same steps as the the first ending with these additional steps:

• Visit the Untended Graves - an optional area after Oceiros, the Consumed King's boss area and behind an illusory wall.
  
• Defeat Champion Gundyr, proceed to Dark Firelink, and acquire the item "Eyes of a Firekeeper" behind an illusory wall where Irina of Carim would usually be in the normal Firelink Shrine.
  
• Go back to the original Firelink Shrine and give this item to the Firekeeper by interacting with her and exhausting her dialogue.
  
• After defeating the Soul of Cinder, the Firekeeper's summon sign will be located near the bonfire. Make sure to summon the Firekeeper for this ending and not interact with the bonfire.

Note: this ending is the most complicated ending and requires the progression of Yoel, Yuria, Anri, and Horace's quest lines in a particular order. Make sure other NPC quest lines do not conflict with this. Always exhaust all dialogue and make backup saves if necessary.

• After defeating Vort of the Boreal Valley and are transferred to the Foot of the High Wall bonfire of the Undead Settlement; Find the NPC Yoel of Londor who is located underneath the bonfire area: head down the stairs and head away from the enemies, pass the cart (be careful of two dogs hiding there) and you'll find Yoel towards the right. Accept his services and bring him back to Firelink. (Video Location) Note: it is recommended to find Yoel as early as possible because he will be found dead if you don't interact with him before the Abyss Watchers fight.
  
• Once Yoel is in Firelink, accept his offer to "Draw Out Your True Strength" which grants you a "free" level each time you die with the consequence of being branded with 5 Dark Sigils. The fastest way to progress this is to jump off a cliff several times and speak with him after the required amount for each level (level=death count:1=0, 2=2, 3=5, 4=12, 5=15 total). Yoel will die after your last level, but so long as it's completed before you fight the Abyss Watchers, this is just the natural progression of the quest. Make sure to NEVER heal your Dark Sigil as this will fail the quest and Yuria will not appear at Firelink. Note: the Dark Sigil causes your character to be hollow, which only affects appearance and luck stats. If you spend hours in character creation, make sure to buy some purging stones from Yuria. This won't heal the Dark Sigil but will maintain your human appearance. Your hollowing stat will max out at 99 and affects the character's Luck (there are hollow/luck/bleed builds created out of this but we won't get into that in this guide).
  
• At this point Yuria of Londor should be at Firelink (reload area if not). Speak with Yuria and exhaust her dialogue. She refers to you as the Lord of Hollows and becomes a merchant for you.
  
• Next find Anri of Astora and Horace the Hushed after going down the elevator in the Undead Settlement and making your way through the Road of Sacrifices. They will be located at the Halfway Fortress bonfire, (Video Location) then exhaust both of their dialogue. Note that Anri will either be a male or female character depending on your own character choice, so I'll only be referring to them as Anri to avoid confusion. Also, Horace will give you a Covenant "Blue Sentinels" that is needed for achievements.
  
• After exhausting Anri's dialogue and defeating the Deacons of the Deep in Cathedral of the Deep - Anri and Horace should relocate to Firelink Shrine. Talk to Anri here and again exhaust all dialogue.
  
• After defeating the Abyss Watchers, enter the Catacombs of Carthus to speak with Anri again. Follow this Video Location for directions. Anri asks if you have seen Horace, answer "no".
  
• Anri's second location in the Catacombs of Carthus is near the wooden bridge where skeletons spawn and chase you before the Wolnir fight - keep to the right path instead of crossing the bridge and Anri will be standing at the end. Again answer "no" when asked about finding Horace. (Video Location)
  
• Next you need to kill Horace in the Smouldering Lake. If you are directly where Anri's second location is, you can drop down to the ledge below you, cut the bridge, climb down, and make your way to the Abandoned Tomb bonfire and into the Smouldering Lake. Use the trees for cover from the ballista then enter an opening towards your right to kill Horace who has gone hollow. (Video Location)
  
• When you return to Anri and reveal information about the Smouldering Lake, you'll be given the Ring of the Evil Eye. Anri will eventually relocate to the Church of Yorshka after making a grave for Horace. Make sure to only interact with Anri about the Smouldering Lake after Horace has been killed.
  
• After defeating High Lord Wolnir, head to Irithyll ot the Boreal Valley (also double check that both Siegward and Greirat's quests are aligned appropriately if you are doing them on the same cycle to avoid failing any of them). Reach the Church of Yorshka and exhaust Anri's dialouge to receive the "Quiet Resolve" gesture. (Video Location)
  
• Fight Pontiff Sulyvahn and return to Firelink to speak to Yuria. Exhaust her dialogue. She will say your spouse awaits you in the Temple of the Darkmoon (located in Anor Londo). Try reloading if she does not say this.
  
• Proceed to Anor Londo to the Darkmoon Tomb. From the bonfire of Anor Londo, you'll need to rotate the lever once and head down the staircase and proceed straight. (Video Location)
  
• From here continue forward in Gwyndolin's old boss arena and speak to a pilgrim NPC, similar looking to Yoel, who gives you a sword. You will need to use this sword to perform the "wedding ceremony" and receive 3 additional Dark Sigils, giving you a total of 8.
  
• Return to Firelink and speak with Yuria and exhaust her dialogue. Place all cinders on their thrones, warp to the Kiln of the First Flame, defeat the Soul of Cinder, then interact with the bonfire for the ending.
  
• Optional: Yuria can be summoned for this fight. Additionally, her armor and ashes are available afterward.
  
  

Note that there is not an Achievement for collecting all Ashes but some are relevant for progressing certain parts of questlines and/or the items sold are generally helpful. Some ashes can also be obtained by killing NPCs, which I will not be including as they will sell their items on their own.




Items: Life Ring, Hidden Blessing x1, Green Blossom, Titianite Shards, Black Bug Pellet, Gold Pine Bundle x6, Gold Pine Resin x3, Rotten Pine Resin, Composite Bow, Feather Arrows


Items: Lloyd's Shield Ring, Undead Hunter Charm (Good for putting mimics to sleep and stopping estus usage in pvp), Duel Charm, Canvas Talisman, Morning Star, Crescent Axe


Items: Kukri knives, Titanite Shards, Yellow Bug Pellet, 3 Embers


Items: Blooming Purple Moss Clump, Dung Pie, Blue Bug Pellet


Items: Xanthous Armor Set, Gold Pine Bundle, Gold Pine Resin, Young White Branch


Items: Karla's Armor, Pale Pine Resin, Rime Blue Moss Clump


Items: Large Titanite Shards, Eastern Armor Set, Eastern Shield, Washing Pole, Dark Arrows, Onislayer Greatarrows


Items: Twinkling Titanite, Titanite Chunks, Titanite Scale, 6 Embers

There are several covenant rewards that require either PVP or PVE (combination or your choice) and certain items that can help speed up this process.

• Covetous Gold Serpent Ring (+3 = +115 discovery boost): if the Ringed City DLC is available and open to you, the +3 Ring is highly recommended and can be found on your first playthrough.
  
• Crystal Sage Rapier (+50 discovery boost): Trade the Soul of the Crystal Sage with Ludleth of Courland. You can also duel wield two Crystal Sage Rapier's if you are on NG+, though you'd have to use that weapon for the kill. Getting an enemy low and switching to the rapier for the last hit can also work but overall might be a time waster depending on your build.
  
• Symbol of Avarice (+100 discovery boost): rare helm dropped from fighting mimics with the cost of slow HP drain. This can be negated or minimized with the Sun Princess Ring and/or Regen Miracles like Replenishment. Using an Undead Hunter Charm to put a Mimic to sleep will NOT drop the Symbol of Avarice.
  
• Rusted Gold Coins (+100 discovery boost for 60s): Dropped from Jailer enemies in the Profaned Capital outside Yhorm the Giant's boss room at a very low rate.
  
• Rusted Coins (+50 discovery boost for 60s) : Sold by Patches (Both coins do not stack together)
  
• Hollowing + Luck can determine greater discovery boost; also increased if you are holding a hollow infused weapon or reallocate your points higher in luck. This is helpful for items extremely difficult and lengthy to grind.

Invasions: require using a Red Eye Orb (Gifted by Leonhard when following his quest) or Cracked Red Eye Orbs that are single-use items (dropped by Darkwraiths and initially gifted by Leonhard in Firelink Shrine.)

Co-op and Duels: Being Summoned Requires the White Sign Soapstone for co-op (500 souls from the Shrine Handmaiden) and the Red Sign Soapstone for duels (Dropped by a docile "man-grub" when killed outside of Rosaria's Chamber). You must be embered in order to summon and to be invaded. You do not need to be embered to invade or use either soapstone sign.

Dried Fingers: Allows for additional phantoms: both friendly and invaders. (2k souls from the Shrine Handmaiden)
