Undead Settlement

• Find Yoel below the Foot of the High Wall bonfire amongst several other Pilgrims. Talk to him and agree to his request and he'll head to Firelink Shrine
• Yoel Progress: Head back to Firelink Shrine and talk to Yoel (Receive Beckon Gesture). If you want to pursue the Usurpation of Fire ending, follow next step
• Yoel Progress: Accept Yoel's offer to Draw Out True Strength. You'll gain a free level, but also gain a Dark Sigil, which will start your Hollowing clock. Each time you die from here on out, you'll gain 1 Hollowing and become more and more Hollow, which also affects your appearance. Yoel will offer 4 more Draw Out True Strengths at Hollowing Level 2, 6, 12, and 16. Each additional Dark Sigil acts as…Double XP for your Hollowing Level, so it shouldn't take long to all 5 Dark Sigils (Just throw yourself off the cliff of Firelink Shrine over and over). If you do not do this step before reaching the Catacombs of Carthus, Yoel will automatically expire and you'll lose your chance at the Usurpation of Fire Ending
• If you get all 5 Dark Sigils and refresh the world, Yoel will be dead and Yuria will be located near his dead body. Talk to her (Receive Dignified Bow Gesture) and buy the Londor Braille Divine Tome. You can give it to Irina when you get her if you want, but note that buying any of the spells it offers will lead to her bad ending. Otherwise, hang onto it until you find Karla later in the game
• Greirat Progress: To find Loretta's Bone in Undead Settlement, spawn at the Undead Settlement bonfire and continue into the first house. Walk out onto the balcony and you'll see a hanging body you can cut down, which contains Loretta's Bone. Return to Firelink Shrine and give Greirat the item and he'll state you can keep the Blue Tearstone Ring
• Andre Progress: Grab Estus Shard by the burning tree with worshipping undead. This is to the left of the Undead Settlement Bonfire, past the house
• You can find the Warriors of Sunlight covenant in a hidden room in the building after the congregation in front of the tree. There will be a hole in the floor that you can drop into. Room also has an Estus Soup for reference
• You can find the Mound-Makers covenant by climbing into the cage of the saw wielding enemy with an empty cage on his back, across the bridge and over the house from the Undead Settlement bonfire. You can only do this before the Curse-rotted Greatwood has been slain or else Holy Knight Hodrick will die from the floor breaking during the boss fight. If this does occur, you can acquire the covenant later through Sirris' side quest
• Find Cornyx in the Undead Settlement above the Cliff Underside bonfire, which can be gotten by dropping to a ledge below the bridge that is right in front of the building that has 3 firebomb throwing undead on top of it. From the bonfire, get to the top of the building and kill the undead. You'll find a cage on the balcony that contains Cornyx. Agree to let him go to Firelink Shrine and he'll teleport there
• Return to Firelink Shrine and talk with Cornyx (Receive Welcome Gesture and Pyromancy Flame). Also interact with Greirat, who should be taking the news of Loretta's death not so well (Receive Curl Up Gesture)
• Find Irina and Eygon in front of the tower that can be found a little after the Cliff Underside bonfire. If you have enough health, you can drop into the valley to reach Irina. Otherwise, you will soon be able to reach Irina by purchasing the Grave key from the Shrine Maiden after obtaining the Mortician's Ashes
• Shrine Handmaid Progress: Grab the Mortician's Ashes at the graveyard with the falling spears, just ahead of the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire. If the spears are too much for you, grab a White Branch from the tree in the same graveyard and head to the tower to become friends with the Giant
• Firelink Shrine Bonfire Progress: Grab the Undead Bone Shard to the right of the White tree on a platform you can jump to with a dead body
• Return to Firelink Shrine and purchase the Grave Key, which opens the locked door in the sewer area with the rats next to the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire in Undead Settlement. This area will lead you to Irina's jail and Velka's statue
• Return to Firelink Shrine and talk to Irina (Receive Prayer Gesture)
• Find Siegward, who is inside the Tower near Irina and Eygon. He'll be taking the elevator down and question the mechanics of the thing. Get on the elevator and you'll go to the basement which has a Outrider Knight and the entrance to Road of Sacrifices. Kill the Outrider Knight and rest at the bonfire nearby. If you die, that works too. Return to the Tower entrance and take the lift up to the actual top of the Tower (If you keep going to the basement, hit the switch on the elevator while at the main entrance and then quickly jump off to reveal the lift that takes you up). Roll off at the mid-way point to land on a wooden platform. Head outside and speak to Siegward again. Run down and begin fighting the Fire Demon, Siegward will eventually come and help. After killing the Fire Demon, speak to Siegward three times (Receive Siegbrau, Toast Gesture, and Sleep Gesture)
• Defeat the Curse-Rotted Greatwood to get the Transposing Kiln, which you can give to Ludleth of Courtland back at Firelink Shrine to turn boss souls into special weapons and items
• Leonhard Progress: If you have obtained a Pale Tongue, Leonhard should return to Firelink Shrine. If he hasn’t, you can obtain a Pale Tongue by shooting down a corpse to obtain in the area with the Fire Demon and Siegward. Leonhard will give you a Lift-Chamber Key that you can use on a door below the Tower on the Wall bonfire of High Wall of Lothric. It'll lead to a Darkwraith that upon death will drop a Red Eye Orb. Return to Firelink Shrine and talk to Leonhard to receive the Applause Gesture
• Hawkwood Progress: Talk to Hawkwood after killing the Curse-rotted Greatwood (Receive Heavy Gem). If he doesn't give you anything, come back to him after killing the Crystal Sage

Road of Sacrifices

• Greirat Progress: Around this time or before, you can now send Greirat to pillage Undead Settlement. After you depart Firelink Shrine after agreeing to send him out, he'll be missing until you kill a boss
• Irina Progress: You can find the Braille Divine Tome of Carim below the bridge right before the Halfway Fortress bonfire. Give it to her at Firelink Shrine and buy all the spells it offers if you want her to become a Fire Keeper later in the game
• Talk to Anri and Horace at the Halfway Fortress bonfire. Horace will give you the Blue Sentinels covenant when spoken to. Make sure to deplete Anri's dialogue before continuing on
• Cornyx Progress: In the swamp area with the two giant enemy crabs, the Great Swamp Pyromancy Tome will be in an area of the swamp that causes you to fat roll
• Kill Yellowfinger Heysel, who will invade your world if you are embered around the area where the two giant crabs are
• Andre Progress: At the Halfway Fortress bonfire in Road of Sacrifices, head out and drop down from the ledges on the right side, keep going straight along the right wall and enter a doorway in the end. Turn left and you will see a Black Knight guarding a few bodies, the body at the end of the hall holds the Farron Coal, which grants you Heavy, Sharp and Poison Infusions
• Andre Progress: Grab the Estus Shard on the side of the ruins near the Crucifixion Woods bonfire. It will be near a fire that has two Lycanthropes
• Enter the ruins near the Crucifixion Woods bonfire, head up the stairs, cross the bridge, and you'll notice an area to the left right after getting off the bridge that'll lead you to the upper area of the ruins that contains Orbeck. Talk to him and he'll agree to teach you in sorceries only if you have at least a 10 in Intelligence. You'll also make him a promise to give him scrolls to learn more spells, you MUST give him a scroll before defeating the Abyss Watchers or else he will leave
• Defeat the Crystal Sage

Cathedral of the Deep

• Talk to Sirris at Firelink Shrine to begin her quest line
• Shrine Handmaid Progress: Near the first bonfire behind a hostile NPC are the Paladin's Ashes
• Andre Progress: Grab the Estus Shard right outside the Cleansing Chapel bonfire where enemies are praying
• Irina/Karla Progress: The Deep Braille Divine Tome can be found on a mimic chest. Remember, giving this to Irina and buying any of the spells it unlocks will lock you into the bad ending of her quest. I recommend saving this for Karla, unless you really want some of the spells
• Firelink Shrine Bonfire Progress: Grab the Undead Bone Shard near a white tree that the Giant throws spears around, on the roof area of the Cathedral after navigating the graveyard and crossing a bridge
• Kill Longfinger Kirk, who will invade your world if you are embered on the ground floor of the cathedral between the area where the two giants are. He drops the Barbed Straight Sword and Spiked Shield, you will then be able to pick up the rest of his armor later in Rosaria's chamber.
• Note: If you want to encounter Patches in Cathedral of the Deep, do not go to the upper rafters (where you drop down to Rosaria) until you've completed his encounter, or he will not appear
• Continue through the Cathedral of the Deep until you have made it to the fog door before the Deacons of the Deep boss fight. Head to the nearby lift to activate the final shortcut of the level (Opening the large blue double doors that lead out to the Cathedral's roof)
• If you leave the Cathedral completely (Go to Firelink Shrine and come back) and then head back into the Cathedral through the large blue double doors you just opened, you may notice that a new bridge has been activated and Siegward is standing next to them. Talk to him and then cross the bridge to trigger a cutscene where it is revealed it was really Patches. Depending on if you killed the Giants or not, you'll either have to fight one or nothing happens
• Patches Progress: From here, head out to the 2nd shortcut back to the Cleansing Chapel bonfire and use the lift to get to a crossbow undead's tower. Kill him and move towards the edge of the tower, but don't drop down. Instead, look to see that you can move towards the left and find a ladder. Ascend the ladder and continue up the roof to eventually reach the rafters of the Cathedral. You'll now be able to drop down to the other side of the bridge that Patches activated. Patches will be waiting here and pretend to not be responsible for what just happened. Tell him "You know who I am" (Receive Prostration Gesture). You can then buy Siegward's Armor Set from him
• Leonhard Progress: Before leaving this area, continue on up the nearby stairs and you'll eventually find yourself at the Rosaria's Chamber bonfire. Speak with Rosaria to obtain the Rosaria's Fingers covenant. Do not do anything further with this covenant if you intend to do Sirris' quest line. Don't give Rosaria any Pale Tongues and don't equip the Rosaria's Fingers covenant item. We'll continue this side quest closer to the end of the game
• Patches Progress: If Patches didn't spawn at the Cathedral, return to Firelink Shrine and purchase the Tower Key if you haven't already and head into the Tower behind Firelink Shrine now. As you ascend the lift to the top, you'll hear a door shut behind you. Grab the Fire Keeper's Soul at the top and then come back down to encounter Patches. He has locked the door and you'll need to drop down from the bridge onto coffins to escape
• Andre Progress: Head back to the Tower and get to the bridge that overlooks Firelink Shrine. Drop down onto the roof and move around the roof until you find some windows you can go through. A Estus Shard will be on the rafters
• While on the roof, you can talk to Snuggly the Crow. Trading with him will get you the Call Over Gesture
• Fire Keeper Progress: With the Fire Keeper's Soul, you can heal Dark Sigils that you have in order to completely get rid of your Hollowing Level. If you are following Yoel/Yuria's quest line, however, don't do this until the post game or you'll end up angering Yoel/Yuria
• Patches Progress: Refresh Firelink Shrine and head to the upper right to find Patches now located there. He'll ask for forgiveness, refuse (Receive Prostration Gesture and Rusted Gold Coin). You can then buy Siegward's Armor Set from him. Leaving Firelink Shrine and returning will sometimes allow Patches to be in his squatting position. Interact with him (Receive Patches Squat Gesture)
• Siegward Progress: If you can't buy Siegward's Armor Set yet, head to the Cleansing Chapel and check the well at the entrance, where Siegward should be stuck in. After speaking to him, return to whatever location Patches is at for you and buy the armor
• Siegward Progress: Return to the well Siegward is in and drop the armor it to him (Receive Rejoice Gesture)
• Defeat the Deacons of the Deep

Farron Keep

• Anri Progress: After defeating the Deacons of the Deep, return to Firelink Shrine to find Anri and Horace. You can speak to them for some additional dialogue

• Andre Progress: Grab the Estus Shard as you come into the area from Road of Sacrifices, towards the left. The shard will be visible against a wall
• Orbeck Progress: Spawn at the Keep Ruins bonfire and go out towards the Wolf Gate and turn left. Follow the wall and you'll eventually find the Sage's Scroll
• Orbeck Progress: From the first bonfire, head out and go towards the right where you'll start to encounter basilisks. There will be a cave in this area that will contain a chest with the Golden Scroll inside. Make sure to give him at least one scroll before beating the Abyss Watchers or he'll leave forever
• Firelink Shrine Bonfire Progress: Grab the Undead Bone Shard on the bottom of the tower to the right of the Wolf Gate with the three flames that you have to light. It is surrounded by a bunch of slugs
• Climb the giant ladder near the Keep Ruins bonfire to find the Old Wolf of Farron. Interact with him for the Watchdogs of Farron covenant (Receive Legion Etiquette Gesture)
• Shrine Handmaid Progress: In this room, you'll see a dead body with something on it. Head out to the stairs and slash a wall once you get up them to reveal a illusory wall that leads to the body to get Dreamchaser's Ashes
• Sirris Progress: Return to Firelink Shrine and after giving the Dreamchaser's Ashes to the Shrine Handmaid, refresh the world with a bonfire. Sirris will once again be there. Talk to her. (Receive Darkmoon Loyalty Gesture)
• Yellowfinger Heysel Progess: You can summon her in Farron Keep right after the Keep Ruins bonfire for the Abyss Watchers fight if you killed her in Road of Sacrifices, but you'll need to have given a Pale Tongue to Rosaria, which will block you out of Sirris' quest line, so I recommend saving this part for another playthrough. You'll gain the Proper Bow Gesture after her summon
• Black Hand Gotthard can be summoned for the Abyss Watchers fight and will grant you the By My Sword Gesture upon summon
• Yuria Progress: If you are doing the Yoel/Yuria side quest, you'll also be able to summon the Londor Pale Shade for the Abyss Watchers fight and gain the Duel Bow Gesture

• Shrine Handmaid Progress: After finding the Catacombs of Carthus bonfire, head down the stairs that the 2nd skeleton ball is going up and down and then head up some other stairs across the way. Once you're at the top of this new area, head to the left and you'll find the Grave Warden's Ashes
• Anri Progress: Once you make it to the wooden bridge, you'll see Anri above and to the right of it. She'll once again ask if you have found Horace. You haven't yet, but we're about to. Head to the other side of the bridge and slash at it to cut it down and you can then use it as a ladder to descend into the Shouldering Lake
• From the Catacombs Of Carthus bonfire, follow the skeleton ball and enter the empty jail to the right where you will be invaded by Knight Slayer Tsorig. Regardless of who wins the fight, you will receive the My Thanks! Gesture. Defeating him will grant you the Knight Slayer's Ring
• Defeat High Lord Wolnir

After defeating the invader, visit Firelink Shrine and she will give you the Silvercat Ring and a Blessed Mail Breaker for the troubles

Walk across the sky to reveal a invisible floor and continue walking straight until lined up with the tower, then walk towards it. You'll find Yorshka who will allow you into the Blades of the Darkmoon covenant. If she doesn't allow you, perform the Darkmoon Loyalty gesture in front of her to prove you are worthy
• Andre Progress: Once looking at the Anor Londo main door, head left and you'll find a dead Giant with the Giant's Coal by his body, which will grant you Lightning, Simple and Chaos Infusions
• Andre Progress: Once inside the main castle, there will be an area on the ground floor with several Writhing Rotten Flesh enemies. Next to them will be a chest with a Estus Shard within it
• Anri A Progress: Open the main doors using the lever and fight the Deep Accursed enemy. You'll then find Anri's summon sign right next to the doors and be summoned to her world to fight her version of Aldrich
• Defeat Aldrich, Devourer of Gods
• Anri A Progress: After defeating him, return to Firelink Shrine and talk to Ludleth and he'll give you Anri's Straight Sword, stating that she left it for you now that her mission was complete
• Anri A Progress: If you told Anri of the Smouldering Lake, that is where she will be, in the same area where you fought Horace. She has also succumbed to the Dark Sigils and become hostile, so do her a favor and put her out of her misery. If you didn't tell her of the Smouldering Lake, she will instead be near the entrance of the Cathedral of the Deep. Defeating her allows you to purchase her Elite Knight Armor Set from the Shrine Handmaid
• Sirris Progress: After defeating Aldrich, travel to Undead Settlement via either the Cliff Underside or Dilapidated Bridge bonfire and make your way back to the room before the Curse-rotten Greatwood fight. You will find Sirris' summon sign right before the giant hole that leads to the Pit of Hollows. You'll be summoned to fight Holy Knight Hodrick, who turns out to be Sirris' grandfather. After defeating Holy Knight Hodrick, his Sunset Armor Set will be available in the Pit of Hollows bonfire area. You will also find the Sunset Shield on a grave outside Firelink Shrine
• Sirris Progress: Refresh Firelink Shrine and Sirris will appear here and ask to be your knight. Agree and she'll be able to be summoned for the final three main boss fights of the game. Refuse and you'll find her Hollow in the Pit of Hollows and have to kill her

Irithyll Dungeon

• From here warp back to the bonfire near the Irithyll swamp. Follow the path down towards the Irithyll Dungeon. When you are outside on a cliffside path Alva Seeker of the Spurned, will invade if you are embered. She drops the Murakumo when killed.
• Andre Progress: A decent amount into the Irithyll Dungeon, you'll eventually get outside the dungeon area for a brief period and then head back into it with a room that as a Mimic chest. Kill the mimic and it'll drop a Estus Shard
• Siegward Progress: In the room with the Giant, kill him and then near where he was, you can talk to Siegward, who is trapped in a cell. The key to get to him is the Old Cell Key, which is in the exact room you're currently in next to a Crystal Lizard. You'll learn how to actually get to Siegward later
• Andre Progress: A little past the previous room and a sewer, you'll come to an area with several Jailers. After coming out of the cell that contained two giant rats, head directly straight and you'll come to another cell that contains four Wretches and the Profaned Coal, which grants Dark, Blood and Hollow Infusions
• Shrine Handmaid Progress: On the same side of the room will be another cell that contains the Xanthous Ashes
• Karla Progress: This room contains a cell that finally shows you Karla, but it's locked. You'll find the key in the next area and have to return here
• Before heading into the next area, there will be another passage that leads you to a lift that takes you back to a earlier area of the Irithyll Dungeon. Near the lift is a dragon statue that has the Dragon Torso Stone. Remember where this area is for later

Profaned Capital

• Firelink Shrine Bonfire Progress: The first bonfire you find will have poor Laddersmith Gilligan's dead corpse near it. You'll receive the Stretch Out Gesture and a Undead Bone Shard from examining it
• Don't head down the giant ladder in this area after activating the bonfire just yet. Instead, go back down the smaller ladder you just came up and drop down to another area using a hole in the wall. Follow this path and you'll find yourself at a toxic swamp with more Sewer Centipedes. This is where the bulk of the items of the Profaned Capital are
• Orbeck Progress: Climb to the top of the building in this area and kill a NPC who I assume to be Logan to receive Logan's Scroll
• Karla Progress: There will be a stairway on this rooftop that you can head into that will eventually lead you back to the area where the Giant, but to a location you couldn't previous access. You'll find the Jailer's Key Ring here, which is what is needed to free Karla
• Siegward Progress: Head back out to the rooftop of the building and you should notice another building with windows near the stairs. You can run from the roof and jump through one of the windows, so do so. This leads to the cell that Siegward is stuck in. Open it and exhaust his dialogue, he'll give you a Titanite Slab for saving him
• Karla Progress: Return to where Karla's cell was and you can now free her and send her to Firelink Shrine. Give her the two Pyromancy Tomes and with some effort, you can also give her the Londor Braille Divine Tome and Deep Braille Divine Tome to prevent corrupting Irina
• Shrine Handmaid Progress: With your new Jailer's Key Ring, you can also open a cell that was in the first area of Irithyll Dungeon that contains the Prison Chief's Ashes
• Defeat Yhorm the Giant. If you have kept up with Siegward's quest so far, upon entering the Yhorm fight the intro cutscene will show Siegward has come with you, to help put his old friend to rest. Upon defeating Yhorm, you'll probably be teleported to the High Wall of Lothric, so come back to the Yhorm boss room later to find Siegward's Catarina Armor Set, the Pierce Shield, and another Storm Ruler

Consumed King's Garden

• Andre Progress: After defeating the Dancer of the Boreal Valley and activating the ladder that was behind Emma, head up it and take the first left to reach a lift. Halfway down, jump off to a platform and then head down the stairs to the right to find a Estus Shard
• Hawkwood Progress: You can summon Hawkwood here for assistance against the enemies around the level and Oceiros, the Consumed King
• Defeat Oceiros the Consumed King
• After defeating Oceiros, continue on down and you'll find the Path of the Dragon Gesture on a body
• Continue further and you'll find a chest. The wall behind the chest is a illusory wall, so activate it and you'll arrive at the Untended Graves

Untended Graves

• Make your way through the graves and defeat Champion Gundyr
• Fire Keeper Progress: At the very end of the Untended Graves when you reach the alternate version of Firelink Shrine, activate the illusory wall to where Irina normally is and you'll find the Eyes of a Fire Keeper. These can be given to the Fire Keeper to trigger the End of Fire ending
• Shrine Handmaid Progress: There is another Shrine Handmaid here that sells the Wolf Knight Armor Set, the Priestess Ring, and other merchandise. Unlike the regular Handmaid, if you kill this one, she will not respawn, so be careful
• Pick up the Coiled Sword Fragment

Archdragon Peak

• Remember that area in the Irithyll Dungeon I said to remember? You know, with the dragon statue? Go there now. Use the Path of the Dragon gesture right next to the dragon statue and wait a bit and you'll be teleported to Archdragon Peak
• Hawkwood Progress: Beat the Ancient Wyvern boss and you'll receive the Dragon Head Stone
• Hawkwood Progress: You can summon Hawkwood a little outside the Great Belfry bonfire and he'll assist you to get to the top of the stairway with loads of enemies in the path. Use the Path of the Dragon gesture at the altar at the very top of the stairway (Hawkwood will show you where) and you'll get the Twinkling Dragon Torso Stone
• Shrine Handmaid Progress: On the way to get the Twinkling Dragon Torso Stone, you can find the Dragon Chaser's Ashes off to the side
• Hawkwood Progress: Head back to Firelink Shrine and talk to Andre. He'll give you a message from Hawkwood asking you to come to the Abyss Watchers bonfire to settle things. Head there and battle Hawkwood. If you win, you gain the Twinkling Dragon Head Stone. If you lose, Hawkwood takes your Twinkling Dragon Torso Stone. You can battle him as many times as you like until you beat him
• In the area where you see Havel standing in front of a dead dragon, you will find the spell Great Magic Barrier off the ledge to the left
• Continue past the Ancient Wyvern boss area to ring the bell that begins the next boss battle
• Defeat the Nameless King

Lothric Castle

• Defeat Dancer of the Boreal Valley
• Greirat Progress: From this point on, if Greirat offers to pillage Lothric Castle, refuse. No matter what happens, he will die on this trip. Even if you tell Patches of his whereabouts after he departs, Patches can't even save him
• Firelink Shrine Bonfire Progress: Starting at the Dragon Barracks bonfire, go up the stairs and to the bride where the two dragons are. Run almost all the way across the bridge and drop off at the end. A Undead Bone Shard is underneath the bridge
• Looking at the fog door for the Dragonslayer Armour, turn around and use the ladder on the building to climb up it. Head over the roofs to the windows of an opposite building. Climb down the ladder in this room and move through the bridge to reach a altar. Pray at it to receive the Praise the Sun Gesture
• Eygon Progress: If to this point, you have not purchased any Dark Miracles from Irina or not even given her the Londor and Deep Tomes, Eygon can be summoned for the Dragonslayer Armour fight. His dead body can be found in Irina's original cell in the Undead Settlement after this fight. You can then purchase Morne's Armor Set from the Shrine Handmaid
• Defeat the Dragonslayer Armour
• Irina Progress: After defeating Dragonslayer Armour and activating the bonfire, turn around and you'll find the Braille Divine Tome of Lothric down some stairs
• Irina Progress: There are two ends to Irina's side quest depending on if you follow what I've told you to do or not. Irina A is the good end, Irina B is the bad end
• Irina A Progress: By giving her just the Braille Divine Tome of Carim and Braille Divine Tome of Lothric, or by giving her all 4 Tomes, but not buying any Dark Miracles, you can make Irina a Fire Keeper. Just buy all her standard spells, plus Med Heal, Tears of Denial, Force, Bountiful Light, Blessed Weapon, and Magic Barrier. She'll move to the bottom of the tower to the left of Firelink Shrine after you refresh the world and now act as a Fire Keeper. If you did give her the Londor and Deep Tome instead of Karla, they will be on the ground beside her and you can now give them to Karla
• Irina B Progress: If you gave Irina the Londor Braille Divine Tome and Deep Braille Divine Tome and bought ANY of these spells (Deep Protection, Gnaw, Dark Blade, Vow of Silence, or Dead Again), she will have disappeared for you sometime in the game from her normal location in Firelink Shrine. She would then be outside near the Index Gundyr fight area with Eygon. Eygon will believe you have killed her and is hostile. Upon killing him, you see that Irina is still actually alive, but the corruption has begun for her. This is an alternate way of Morne's Armor Set being available for purchase. After Irina returns to Firelink Shrine, buying all the Dark Miracles listed above will fully corrupt her and she'll no longer act as a vendor to you. Equipping the Morne's Gauntlets allows you to believe you to be Eygon and she'll ask to be killed. Do so and you can give her ashes to the Shrine Handmaid to sell her miracles

Grand Archives

• Orbeck Progress: Once inside the Grand Archives, you'll notice a Crystal Sage. Killing her will give you the Crystal Scroll
• Orbeck Progress: Orbeck grants you different rewards based on certain criteria. The Young Dragon Ring is given to you after buying three of his spells and giving him at least one scroll. The Slumbering Dragon Ring is given to you after buying Aural Decoy, Farron Flashsword, and Pestilent Mercury. He'll also give you the Silent Ally Gesture through this. Giving him all 4 scrolls and buying every spell he offers will cause him to tell you he is departing. You'll now be able to summon him for the Twin Princes fight
• Firelink Shrine Bonfire Progress: In the area of the rooftops where you fight some Gargoyles, there will be a broken window that you have to enter. The Undead Bone Shard will be on this balcony on a dead body in a chair
• Andre Progress: On the very top of the Grand Archives while looking at the stairs to the Twin Princes fight, turn around and go up another roof where the three Gertrude's Knights are. You'll find a Estus Shard on the very back of this roof
• Defeat the Twin Princes
• Orbeck Progress: After beating the Twin Princes, you can find his dead body in the Grand Archives if he departed from your Firelink Shrine after you bought all his spells. You can give his ashes to the Shrine Handmaid for her to sell his spells or give them to Yuria for the Morion Blade
• Sirris Progress: Return to her grandfather's grave after the Twin Princes fight and you'll find her body with the Sunless Talisman on it. You can also now buy Sirris' Sunless Armor Set from the Shrine Handmaid
• Leonhard Progress: With Sirris' side quest complete, you are now free to finally continue Leonhard's. Head to the Rosaria's Bed Chamber bonfire and either give her a Pale Tongue or equip the Rosaria's Fingers covenant item. Refresh the world and Leonhard will now be in this room. Exhaust his dialogue. Refresh the world again and Rosaria will now be dead with a Black Eye Orb on her body
• Leonhard Progress: Head to the Aldrich bonfire in Anor Londo and take either of the lifts in the room up. The Black Eye Orb will react to this room. Use it and you'll invade Leonhard's world. Kill him for Rosaria's Soul, Crescent Moon Sword, and the Silver Mask. You can also now buy Leonhard's Armor Set from the Shrine Handmaid. You can either return Rosaria's Soul to her body or give it to Ludleth for the Bountiful Sunlight Miracle. Considering you can still interact with her body even if she's dead, I'd give it to Ludleth
• Put all the Lord of Cinders back on their thrones if you haven't already and then interact with the Firelink Shrine Bonfire to be teleported to the Kiln of the First Flame

Kiln of the First Flame

• Yuria Progress: You can summon Yuria for the Soul of Cinder fight. After the fight, go to Firelink Shrine and where Yuria normally is will now be her Black Armor Set and Darkdrift
• Defeat the Soul of Cinder
• Ending Guide: Depending on what you've done at this point, you will have certain options for the endings you can select
• Ending 1: Simply interact with the First Flame results in the 'To Link the First Flame' ending. This is the standard ending
• Ending 2: If you obtained the Eyes of a Fire Keeper from the Untended Graves area and gave them to the Fire Keeper you can use a summon sign next to the bonfire to trigger the 'The End of Fire' ending
• Ending 3: If you follow the steps to Ending #2, during the final scene you have a short window where you regain control of your character. You can attack the Fire Keeper after the cutscene for a different version of the ‘The End of Fire' ending
• Ending 4: If you followed the Yoel/Yuria quest line to this point and "married" Anri, you can usurp the flame by wrestling the flame from its mantle triggering the 'Usurpation of Fire' ending. To progress this option, you must have 8 total Dark Sigils. The 5 from Yoel's Draw Out True Strengths and the 3 from "marrying" Anri. Simply interact with the First Flame at this point and it'll activate
