Walkthrough: Lothric Castle

  • Greirat asks to pillage Lothric Castle and dies there no matter what. His Greirat's Ashes turn up in the Grand Archives and unlock his wares at the Shrine Handmaid.
  • If you send him, tell Patches where he went; Patches comes back later with a gift.
  • Fight through the trio of Lothric Knights to reach the Lothric Castle bonfire; a Soul of a Crestfallen Knight is on the route.
  • A chest in the next room holds the Prayer Set.
  • Look left: a Titanite Chunk rests against the railing.
  • Outside, the room on the right has a twin-axe Winged Knight and a Twinkling Titanite behind the ladder. Climb up; a hidden wall hides the Winged Knight Set and the Sacred Bloom Shield.
  • Outside again, go left at the fork for a Titanite Chunk.
  • Climb the stairs on the right, come down the other side and turn left for a Large Soul of a Weary Warrior.
  • Cross to the opposite side to collect Titanite Chunk x2.
  • Rejoin the main path to reach the Dragon Barracks bonfire.
  • An Ember sits in a corner near the bonfire.
  • Up the stairs on the left, a body by a Lothric Knight holds the Greatlance.
  • Two Lothric Wyverns guard the bridge above. Killing one with arrows also kills the other; shooting the Pus of Man at their feet makes them vanish.
  • Run almost to the end of the bridge and drop off; an Undead Bone Shard is under it.
  • Drop further for Twinkling Titanite x2 on the left and two Titanite Chunk pickups.
  • Break the barrels in the next room for Lightning Urn x3.
  • The Crystal Lizard outside drops Twinkling Titanite x2. If you die or reload before killing the second lizard here, that one is gone for good.
  • Further right is a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier.
  • Up the small stairs, kill the Winged Knight and take the Sniper Crossbow and Sniper Bolt x11.
  • Return to the bridge and hop off its closer end to grab a Titanite Chunk.
  • Keep left into a room with a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier and a Raw Gem.
  • In the cellar below, a Boreal Outrider Knight drops the Irithyll Rapier. Four chests hold Twinkling Titanite x2, a Twinkling Titanite, a Titanite Scale and the Spirit Tree Crest Shield.
  • Cross where the wyverns breathe fire; the room on the left has Black Firebomb x3. Up the ladder, at the edge, is a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier.
  • Slay the Pus of Man waiting here; it leaves Titanite Chunk x2 and Ember x2.
  • Take the exit on the same level for a Titanite Chunk, a Crystal Lizard with Twinkling Titanite x2 and a Titanite Scale at the end.
  • NG+ only: the Life Ring+2 is on a ledge below that Titanite Chunk.
  • With the wyverns gone, collect Lightning Urn x6, a Refined Gem and two Ember pickups.
  • Back in the ladder room, climb the stairs to a Mimic with Titanite Scale x3 and a Pale Pine Resin beside it.
  • Take the right-hand exit to find one more Titanite Scale.
  • Pull the lever in the next room to open the gate below the wyverns.
  • At the edge is a Large Soul of a Weary Warrior.
  • Left of the stairs up is an Ember.
  • On the roof, the Dragonslayer Armour gate faces a shortcut lift back to the castle entrance.
  • A Sunlight Medal is on the ground beside that lift.
  • With your back to the boss gate, take the torch-lit door on the left and climb: Rusted Coin x2 and a chest with a Titanite Scale.
  • Leave by the next door; the Red Tearstone Ring is on a body to the right and Caitha's Chime is below the ledge.
  • NG++ only: the Thunder Stoneplate Ring+2 is at the back of the roof above the chime.
  • With your back to the boss gate, go right and drop to a Pus of Man for Titanite Chunk x2 and Ember x2, plus a Soul of a Crestfallen Knight.
  • Inside the building, a Mimic holds the Sunlight Straight Sword and a body holds the Braille Divine Tome of Lothric.
  • NG+ only: the Dark Stoneplate Ring+1 is on the balcony outside.
  • Climb the ladder on that building for a Titanite Chunk facing the boss gate.
  • Cross the roofs to the windows opposite and climb down for the Knight's Ring.
  • Cross the bridge to the Altar of Sunlight. Pray for the Praise the Sun gesture; it also takes Sunlight Medal offerings for the Warrior of Sunlight. A chest holds Titanite Scale x3 and the door opens a shortcut.
  • Eygon of Carim's sign is in the chapel right of the boss area if Irina was never corrupted and you talked to him at the shrine.
  • Sirris' sign is below the second stairway if you are allies.
  • Defeat the Dragonslayer Armour for the Soul of Dragonslayer Armour.
  • If Eygon left the shrine, his body is now in Irina's old cell in the Undead Settlement with Morne's Great Hammer and the Moaning Shield. Morne's Set then goes on sale.
  • Irina's story has two endings depending on the tomes you gave her; if the dark one has not triggered yet, check again after the Twin Princes.
  • Light path: give her the Braille Divine Tome of Carim and Braille Divine Tome of Lothric (or all four tomes but no dark purchases) and buy all her light spells.
  • Buy the Saint's Ring from her now if you want it. After a reload she moves to the tower left of the shrine and works as a Fire Keeper.
  • Dark path: buying any dark miracle makes Irina vanish to the Iudex Gundyr area, where a hostile Eygon guards her. Kill him to bring her back.
  • Buying every dark miracle corrupts her fully. Wearing Morne's gauntlets she asks you to end her, and her ashes let the Handmaid sell her stock.
