How to unlock the To Link the First Flame achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide

This is the basic ending that requires no extra effort other than playing through the game, defeating the final boss, and then interacting with the bonfire that appears.

However, three thorough subsequent playthroughs are definitely required in order to get all Rings.

I shouldn't take the free 5 lvls for this ending correct? I started the playthrough hollow as well not sure if I should cure it or it doesn't matter.

If you want this ending, all that matters is that you don't follow all the necessary steps for the usurpation ending. And even if you do, just have the fire keeper heal your dark sigils. Or kill Yuria.

That's really odd. I have no idea what could have caused your issue. I've gotten this ending multiple times and I believe that the only way not to get it is to either summon the firekeeper before interacting with the final bonfire for a The End of Fire achievement or to go through all the Anri steps for the Usurpation achievement. I've not heard of your issue happening with anyone else before.

This is the last ending that I need, to make sure it doesn't end up in the Usurpation of Fire or anything close to that, I'll just never talk to Yoel on that bridge. Though the 5 free levels are nice... *Siegward voice* Mhhhmm.... mhhhhm.... mhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm...

Just finished the game, I've interacted with the bonfire, and no achievement.
So the description may be false or uncomplete. Or glitched.
If someone knows how to deal with it, thanks. ^^
P.S. I've taken the 10 free levels, and don't have cured the dark symbol (it was to expensive).

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.

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.

This is the basic ending. To get this DO NOT have all eight Dark Signs (you can purge them via the Fire Keeper if you return the item from the top of the locked tower at the Shrine) plus do not give the Fire Keepers Eyes (found in Untended Graves) to the Fire Keeper (or, if you do, don’t summon her after the last boss). Once the last boss dies just interact with the bonfire.

All endings can be done in one playthrough with saving to a flash drive, but this is not very convenient.
1. Basically you need to go to the Usurper of the Throne ending. After defeating the final boss, we save to the flash drive and get the ending.
2. Load up, give the eyes of the fire keeper if you didn’t, and get two dark endings. Killing and not killing the guardian at the very end.
3. Load up and remove the dark mark, Yuri will be offended and leave, so we go and get the first ending.

Before completing all endings, make sure you have the souls to remove the dark mark. All 8 are removed at once and it’s worth it to pump up another 8 levels at a time. Accordingly, after receiving the trophy, you can return the save and spend souls on leveling up.

For better farming of bone shackles, covenant Marauders - if bone shackles stop falling - die, after death the loot system is updated and the drop rate is better, it was like this in ds 1, 2 and now 3, I started dying periodically and in 15 minutes I got 4 shackles , although before that I suffered for several hours.

First and simple ending. We just go through the game, kill all the Lords of Ash. At the end, we kill the final boss and activate the fire.

There is no point in making endings through saving, the game will need to be completed 3 times.

You can do two endings at a time; when you take the guardian's eyes, don't give them back until the last minute. all this can be done before the battle with the final boss. Well, you need to reset the save, either to the cloud or to a flash drive).

Devastation is removed both by the Stone of Loss and by the Velka statue, which is located in the basement from where Irina from Karim was freed! The Keeper of the Fire does not remove it, only the dark marks, which are not necessary to remove for this ending!
