Walkthrough: Firelink Shrine

  • Light the bonfire for the Enkindle achievement and talk to the Crestfallen Warrior sitting near it.
  • Talk to Petrus of Thorolund for a Copper Coin. You may join the Way of White here if you like.
  • Around the shrine itself: souls, Humanity, Firebombs, Homeward Bones, a Morning Star, a Talisman, Cracked Red Eye Orbs and Lloyd's Talismans.
  • Sweep the graveyard for souls, the Zweihander, the Winged Spear, the Caduceus Round Shield and the Binoculars. Watch out for the skeletons.
  • Spend your souls, then take the stairs and elevator down to New Londo Ruins. Talk to Rickert of Vinheim in his cell and loot the souls, the Estoc and the Transient Curses nearby.
  • Make a brave run past the ghosts into the ruins to grab a Fire Keeper Soul.
  • Give the soul to Anastacia of Astora in the cell below the shrine to reinforce your Estus Flask.
  • On the Valley of Drakes bridge an Undead Dragon lies in wait. Sprint for the soul on the right, then Astora's Straight Sword and the Dragon Crest Shield.
  • Died there? Grab your souls, carry on down the valley and ride the lift up to the Darkroot Basin bonfire.
  • A Black Knight stands near the basin bonfire; it drops a Blue Titanite Chunk and guards the Grass Crest Shield.
  • Climb through the basin and collect the Hunter Set, the Longbow and its arrows, and kill the Crystal Lizard quickly before it flees.
  • Keep climbing to the Undead Parish, light the bonfire above Andre and ride the elevator back down as a shortcut to Firelink Shrine.
  • Pick up the Undead Asylum F2 West Key on the Firelink roof, then ride the crow back to the asylum to open the west door and loot the Rusted Iron Ring.
  • Heading up to the Undead Burg, check the arches below the aqueduct for souls and a Ring of Sacrifice.
