Overview
- Location
- Firelink Shrine, in a cell down the stairs beside the Crestfallen Warrior.
- Access condition
- No special condition to find her; her actual services depend on the Lordvessel/revival state described below.
- Can die
- yes
- Death or hostility conditions
- Cannot be killed by the player directly. She IS killed by Knight Lautrec of Carim, scripted to trigger once the player either rings both Bells of Awakening or collects two specific Fire Keeper Souls. Her death makes the Firelink bonfire unusable for resting (though still usable to warp), and her body drops her clothing and a Black Eye Orb.
- Keeps selling if hostile survives
- not applicable
- Dialogue progression
- She is mute (her tongue was removed to prevent her from taking a god's name in vain) -- no spoken dialogue tree. After Lautrec kills her, the player can use the Black Eye Orb dropped at her cell to invade Lautrec's world in Anor Londo; defeating him yields her Fire Keeper Soul, which can be returned to her cell to revive her and restore her services.
- Relocates
- no
- Relocation note
- none recorded
- Note
- This is a genuine death-and-revival mechanic, not a one-way loss like most other killable NPCs in this compendium.
