How to unlock the The End of Fire achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide

External image

To reach this ending, you have to go through the Untended Graves (an optional area beyond the Consumed King's Garden) to reach an alternate, dark version of Firelink Shrine. Go to where the Irina of Carim usually would be and break an illusory wall to obtain the Eyes of a Fire Keeper.
External image

Give this item to the Firekeeper at normal Firelink Shrine. After defeating the final boss, do not touch the bonfire. Instead, use the summon sign that appears to summon the Firekeeper, resulting in the ending for this achievement.

IMPORTANT! If you kill the Firekeeper after summoning her, you will get a different ending that isn't tied to an achievement.

I suppose this means three play through some for all three endings?

This is just an idea on how to get all three ending achievements in one run.

Ok so this is only just an idea because I'm not 100% familiar with how the Xbox loads in.

This would require two xbox ones.

Dark souls requires 3 playthroughs. If before you get to the end game you logged out of your main xbox which would put your save in the cloud. You then get onto your second xbox load up your cloud save get a checkpoint so the game saves locally on xbox 2. Relog back into xbox one get the ending you want then go to game management through the Xbox dashboard and delete your save from everywhere. Get back on xbox number 2 start from local save (because there is no online save to sync to). Then get a checkpoint so it saves to the cloud and get back on your xbox one and sync with cloud. Repeat for all three endings.

Would it not be easier to go offline (disconnect from Xbox live), get one ending, dashboard out, delete local savegame, go online again, start game, sync with cloud, go offline again, get second ending...

Or does this method not work?

I have no idea. I wouldn't bother myself. Just enjoy this amazing game three times so you can get all the other achievements, too.

should also note that once you beat the boos and if you forget to give the eyes the fire keep lady you can go back up the mountain and use that bonfire to go to the shrine give her the eyes and then go back to the arena and summon her then so you get your achievement

For those that are trying to get all three endings in one run, you need to go through the game a couple of times anyway to obtain all the gestures and rings for sure or clean up on any miracles, pyromancies and sorceries you missed.

so the only thing I need for this ending is the firekeeper's eyes right? I can speed run and not worry about any NPC's if I've gotten everything else in my first run, except the rings?

After I gave the eyes to her, she made a question. Does it matter what I answer?

You have to get to the end of NG++ to get
for one achievement, so you may as well do one ending for each.

@Nicrotix Yep just glitched today. Had a ton of the boss achievements glitch but having this one glitch is annoying because it means a whole other playthrough needs to be done.

Just to clarify, I just beat my first play through and did this ending, but I did the alternative ending instead last second and the achievement did not pop.
So just in case anyone asks if the alternative will count for this one, it will not.

I would make sure you know what your doing if you are trying what CorleoneGang did. The cloud only had a save from a week ago despite playing it every day this week. My lvl 110 character is now lvl 59 and is about 1/2 way through my first playthrough. I might have quit too late because the achievement notification never popped and I deleted when it asked me if I wanted to start NG+. Oh well.

It's possible to get all 3 endings on one playthrough if you can get a friend to drop all the rings for the "Master of Rings" achievement and then do the cloud trick at the end of the game to get all 3 ending achievements. You also have to have enough souls to heal your dark sigils for the 3rd ending or this won't work. Yes, you can get the proper bow gesture on the Usurpation of Fire run as I just did it. Sirris questline has nothing to do with the Usurpation of Fire ending.

After killing the Soul of Cinder, I quit the game from the Dark Souls menu and then also quit the game from the Xbox Dashboard. This will obviously save your game before you make your final decision. I reloaded the game and then interacted with the First Flame to get the Usurpation of Fire ending. As soon as that achievement pops hit the Xbox Button then scroll to Dark Souls III and hit the menu button and go to Manage game & add-ons > Saved data > Delete all. This will delete your save from the console only (THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE "DELETE EVERYWHERE" OPTION, WHICH YOU DO NOT WANT TO SELECT). Reload game again and let it sync with Xbox Live and then warp back to Firelink Shrine and give "Eyes of a Firekeeper" to Firekeeper and Return to First flame and Summon Firekeeper using summon sign on ground (DO NOT interact with First Flame) to get the "End of Fire" Achievement. As soon as that achievement pops hit the Xbox Button then scroll to Dark Souls III and hit the menu button and go to Manage game & add-ons > Saved data > Delete all. Load game back up again and warp back to Firelink Shrine and give Soul of a Firekeeper to Firekeeper and pay Firekeeper in souls to heal your dark sigils then warp back to First Flame, interact with First Flame to get the "To Link the First Flame" ending achievement, which is the 3rd ending achievement on one playthrough.

I just did this, so I know this works, but you have to be quick with the "dashboarding" after each achievement pops.

When you reach Lothric Castle (after the Dancer fight – then climbing the ladder) go up the stairs to the left to reach the Consumed Garden. Kill the boss here and go into the room behind him, then smack the illusionary wall behind the chest at the far end. Enter to reach the Untended Graves area.

Proceed through here and beat the boss, then head to the altered Firelink Shrine. Go to where Irina would normally sit (as you enter head to where Andre is, then go right and follow the corridor to a dead end) and hit the wall here. Grab the Fire Keepers Eyes here, then go back to the regular Firelink and give them to the Fire Keeper there.

Proceed as normal and kill the last boss, once he dies look for the Fire Keepers summon sign BEFORE touching the fire. Let her do her thing (do NOT attack her) and you’ll get this ending.

Attention, you can skip the ending!

To gain access to this ending you need to do a number of actions during the passage:

1. Get to the location - Abandoned Graves (see the hint on how to get there).
2. After killing the boss “Champion Gundir”, go to the Real Temple and pick up the Eyes.
3. Return and give them to the Fire Keeper.
4. After defeating the final boss , an inscription will appear next to the fire. Summon the Guardian and get the trophy.

You also need to talk to the keeper. She will ask: do you want to put out the flame? I must say yes.

Under no circumstances kill the Fire Keeper while she is extinguishing the flames, otherwise you will not receive the achievement!!!!

If you kill the Fire Keeper when she extinguishes the flame, the fourth ending will start, but the achievement will not be counted.

You cannot press the hit keys at the end of the video during which the Guardian takes away the flame, since the transition from the cutscene to the state in which you can hit her is barely noticeable. During the final cutscene, it is better to simply put the gamepad down.

We just go through the game, kill all the Lords of Ash, go to the Real Temple (after killing the boss “Champion Gundir”) and take the Eyes (behind the hidden wall), give them to the Fire Keeper, go kill the final boss, after which an inscription will appear next to the fire - we call Guardian.
