Discover the Shrine Handmaid’s Treasures

You can also use your hard-earned souls to purchase a tower key from the Shrine Handmaid. This key grants you access to formerly inaccessible areas of the shrine, including the Tower, which holds valuable items. For a detailed guide, refer to our tower walkthrough.

Andre is a skilled blacksmith who can upgrade your weapons, shields, and Estus Flask. Gems, Coal, and Estus Shards, scattered throughout Dark Souls 3, are necessary for his services.

Ludleth of Courland is the sole NPC who occupies a throne in Firelink Shrine. He specializes in transforming the souls obtained from defeating bosses into weapons, rings, miracles, and pyromancies through the transposition process.
Explore Greirat of the Undead Settlement’s Wares
Greirat is one of the NPCs found in Firelink Shrine, offering a diverse range of items for sale.

Uncover Yoel of Londor’s Secrets
Yoel of Londor is a pilgrim found beneath the first bonfire in the High Wall of Lothric. Accept his offer, and he’ll appear in Firelink Shrine, providing you with magical powers and offering to level up your character for zero souls. However, this opportunity comes at a cost.
