Characters
Chosen Undead
An escaped prisoner whose equipment, spells and attributes determine the build; starting class does not lock later progression.
Oscar of Astora
Oscar provides the Estus Flask during the opening escape and points the player toward the Undead pilgrimage.
Solaire of Astora
A friendly knight encountered after the Taurus Demon route, associated with cooperation and a quest through Lordran.
Andre of Astora
Andre reinforces equipment and handles the normal upgrade path when given its required embers.
Anastacia of Astora
Anastacia tends Firelink Shrine and can reinforce Estus using a Fire Keeper Soul.
Quick notes
- Oscar gives the escape its purpose. Oscar is the injured knight inside the Asylum chamber opened by the rolling ball.
- Meet Solaire after the Taurus Demon. Solaire stands at the sunny overlook reached after the Taurus Demon, before committing to the dragon bridge.
- Find Andre below the Parish bonfire. Follow the path from the Parish church toward the building where hammering is audible.
- Return to Firelink’s residents. The Crestfallen Warrior offers early direction, while Anastacia tends the shrine from the cell beneath it.
Put down the controller or switch away from attack inputs before talking to an NPC in a cramped space.
