Characters
Bearer of the Curse
An Undead traveler whose starting class supplies initial equipment and attributes without fixing the eventual build.
Emerald Herald
The Herald gives the first Estus Flask, turns souls into levels and accepts Estus Flask Shards.
Blacksmith Lenigrast
Lenigrast repairs and reinforces equipment once his locked workshop has been opened.
Merchant Hag Melentia
Found at Cardinal Tower, Melentia sells Lenigrast’s Key and supplies before later moving to Majula.
Quick notes
- The Emerald Herald manages your growth. The woman near Majula’s cliff and bonfire is the character to revisit after collecting souls or Estus Flask Shards.
- Lenigrast needs access to his tools. The blacksmith initially waits outside a locked building in Majula.
- Melentia can relocate to Majula. Meet Melentia beside the Cardinal Tower bonfire in the Forest of Fallen Giants.
- Saulden explains the world and offers the Way of Blue. Saulden sits beside the monument overlooking Majula.
Finish a character’s current dialogue before traveling on; several early services and relocations depend on conversation.
